It was time for another family meeting, no different from the annual confabs they'd had for the previous half dozen years. Every Fourth of July weekend, at their log cabin retreat in the Adirondacks of upstate New York, Dick Bavetta would put the question to his wife Paulette and daughters Christine and Michele:
What d'ya think? One more season?
"We usually put it to a vote," Bavetta said this week. "And I don't get a vote. They basically listen to what I have to say and then they vote. The last six years, it's always been 2-1 to go back. Christine, who's like our Wall Street wizard, she'd always say, 'Daddy, why are you subjecting yourself to all this travel and everything?'
"This year when we met, it was 3-0 to retire."
Whoa. That result rocked Bavetta in his chair, the idea that after 39 years running the courts of the NBA as one of its most durable and most visible referees, Bavetta would be done. But after a record 2,635 consecutive regular-season games — a streak that earned Bavetta attention and kudos rare during most of his working years -– along with 270 playoff appearances and 27 Finals games, now seemed as good a time as any.
Season after season, Bavetta was out there, a familiar face to players, to coaches and to certain diehard fans around the league who, whether they realized it or not, had become familiar faces to him. This season, he won't be.
"I said, 'What's the thinking here?' " Bavetta recalled. "They said, 'You're 74 years old' — and I say this with humility — 'and you've pretty much accomplished everything there was to accomplish.' "
The NBA has a July 15 deadline each summer for officials to share their intentions for the coming season, so Bavetta's decision had been in the book for more than a month when the league announced his retirement Tuesday. He was lauded by Rod Thorn, NBA president of basketball operations, for a dedicated career that began on Dec. 2, 1975 — Knicks-Celtics, Madison Square Garden — and in time included three All-Star Games, two Olympics and other international competitions.
"My wife said to me, 'What's the difference if you work next year between 2,635 [games] and 2,695? Or 40 years instead of 39 years?' And last year was a tough year travel-wise with the weather," Bavetta said. "Just putting this all together, I have been so blessed to have good health and be able to look back on a career that finished with a cherry on top with the 'iron man' streak."
A native of Brooklyn who attended the same high school (Power Memorial) as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bavetta slogged through nine seasons in the Eastern League (CBA precursor) before reaching the NBA. He also worked games at the Rucker League, Jersey Shore Basketball, FIBA and public and Catholic leagues in New York.
In a phone chat this week, NBA.com asked Bavetta to reflect on some of his highlights and lowlights at basketball's highest level. Because he already had shared details in April of his streak-busting game — it surpassed Cal Ripken's MLB mark of 2,632 — and a broken nose he suffered on-court in the 1990s that nearly snapped it, we skipped those here:
- Most memorable game: Philadelphia at Boston, Nov. 9, 1984. That was the night his partner Jack Madden suffered a broken leg in a collision with Celtics guard Dennis Johnson, forcing Bavetta to work solo the rest of the way. "It turned out to be the game where [Larry] Bird and [Julius] Erving decided to start choking each other." Bavetta ejected them both and also ran off Sixers coach Billy Cunningham, thinking he had picked up a second technical foul. But an earlier one called by Madden had been on Cunningham's assistant Matt Guokas, so Bavetta sent word to the locker room for Cunningham to return. "He said, 'It was bad enough having people pouring beer over my head going off the court. But then I had to have it again coming back on,' " the referee recalled.
- Player whose games you wish you'd worked: Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson.
- Favorite NBA city: Phoenix, Miami, L.A. "I run my eight miles every day, even during the season, day of the game. So when I'm in warm weather, it makes it that much easier."
- Favorite hotel: The Marriott River Walk in San Antonio. "I'd always get a room on the 26th floor because it's one of the few high-rise hotels where you can open the sliding doors and sit out on the balcony. The ambiance of the city and stuff like that."
- Favorite restaurant: "All of the Marriott concierge lounges. You can't beat the continental breakfasts and the evening [snacks and beverages]." Can't beat the prices, either, since it's all comped for heavy-duty Marriott users.
- Best crowds: L.A., New York and Boston. "Avid, knowledgeable basketball fans."
- Most memorable fans: Too many to list, from Jack Nicholson and his jibes courtside at Lakers games to seniors who thank him for motivating them to stay active. And there was a young couple who approached Bavetta during a layover at the Dallas airport a few years ago. "They asked if they could take my picture and I said sure," Bavetta said. "They were on their honeymoon. They said, 'This picture's going into our wedding album.' "
- Call you wish you had back: "Too many to mention. Every night there was something you wished you could go back and change. It has given me humility."
- Most challenging coach: "The old-school guys," Bavetta said. "Dick Motta and Bill Fitch come to mind. They took no prisoners — they equated lack of experience when I first started [with lack of competence]. You were challenged."
Bavetta chuckled as he recalled tossing Motta, then coaching Washington, out of a Christmas Day game. The coach had been on him through the first half but only, ultimately, crossed the verbal line as the teams and the refs were walking off at the intermission. It happened under the stands, so "the only people who knew I threw him out were the vendors," Bavetta said.
The P.A. announcer in Landover, Md., informed the crowd before the start of the second half. Bavetta was talking with Washington assistant Bernie Bickerstaff during warmups when he felt a tap on his shoulder. "It was Motta," Bavetta said, "and he said, 'I've just been informed that I've been ejected from the game.' "
That's right, the referee told him, and you shouldn't even be out here now.
"But Dick, it's Christmas Day. Where's your holiday spirit?"
"Look at it this way," Bavetta recalled saying. "If you leave now, you'll get a head start on opening your presents."
Tales like that are the kind of stories that could make for a pretty entertaining book. Bavetta said he has no interest in any sort of tell-all memoir to dwell on the controversial calls (Lakers-Kings, game 6, 2002) or characters (disgraced ref Tim Donaghy) he encountered through the years. "Just all the funny stories," he said.
The book can wait for now, however. Bavetta already has enrolled at a junior college to take guitar lessons — his father was a concert violinist and his grandfather wrote operas, so there is untapped musical aptitude there. He said he wants to take Spanish lessons, too.
It seems logical that Bavetta — with the persistence of friend Bill King, the former Milwaukee media relations director who lobbied for Don Nelson's induction into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame — will join the other 14 referees already enshrined. And in the meantime, he'll have to fight a familiar urge when the calendar turns to October and, for the first time in 49 years, he's not on a basketball court with a whistle between his teeth.
"I'll probably go out and look for a CYO center somewhere," said Bavetta, who lives most of the year in Florida. "That's how it all started for me, doing games for $5 back in Brooklyn."
That's way in the past. Bavetta's head now is in the future.
"There's more out there," he said. "There's grandchildren. There's daughters to spend time with. To be able to walk away with good health and a career that has left me fulfilled, life is good, God is good."

I love outdoor parties and this Woodland Party from Aria Photography is a fun and great way to enjoy and outdoor party. I love the use of rustic and colorful items that make this party so great.
Here is Aria's description of the party:
I have always loved all things woodlandy, so most of the decor was already from our house. We live right behind a park with lots of trees, so we brought everything out there and had the children arrive at the park. Although the activities and games were simple (painting bird houses, bobbing for apples, catching butterflies, story-telling by a fairy, face painting, bean bag toss, etc.) the children kept busy playing in the wooden cottage, climbing trees, and munching on goodies in between games. Parents relaxed on the grass and everything was very laid-back. I wish I could have a party every day!

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens and New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (DAM) Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine today announced that the state will propose a revision to its Emerald ash borer (EAB) quarantine order to include all of the State south of the New York State Thruway, and east to the state border, except for Rockland, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties and New York City.
EAB is an invasive, exotic insect that quickly kills all ash trees once it becomes established in an area or community. It was first discovered in the U.S. in 2002 in Detroit, Michigan, and has since been found in 18 states.
This invasive tree and forest pest has killed tens of millions of ash trees in areas where populations have become established. Especially hard hit have been communities which have lost thousands of mature street and park ash trees, often originally planted to replace stately elms killed 80 years ago by another invasive pest, Dutch elm disease. Costs to communities for removal and disposal of dead, dying and hazardous municipal trees, and their replacement is a challenge.
All or parts of 22 counties are included in this expanded quarantine. The emergency rule expanding the quarantine will take effect May 1, 2013 and be followed by a permanent rule-making process. State and federal agriculture inspectors will be issuing new compliance agreements for facilities affected by this change. More information on regulated articles and how to comply can be found at http://www.agriculture.ny.gov/PI/eab.html.
This change is based on extensive stakeholder consultation and meetings involving municipal officials, utility companies, environmentalists, forest landowners, farmers, campground owners and wood using businesses. It seeks to provide a measure of predictability for businesses and individuals handling regulated materials while attempting to slow the continued movement of the EAB.
"DEC will continue its efforts to assist communities and landowners prepare for, mitigate and respond to the impacts of EAB's spread across the state," said Commissioner Martens. "Ongoing outreach and education are key in these efforts and will continue to be a focus in slowing the spread of EAB. In addition, DEC will continue work with local EAB Task Forces and other partnerships, including supporting biocontrol research activities led by USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service."
"We have listened to many perspectives on this issue and continue to be confronted by a very challenging pest," said Commissioner Aubertine. "This configuration will assist in our efforts to slow the movement of EAB while mitigating some of the economic issues created by the prior quarantine configuration. NYSDAM Inspectors will play an important role in regulating the movement of goods that might spread EAB."
DEC will also be revising its EAB quarantines, consistent with NYSDAM's action. Upon approval of this quarantine expansion, the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will follow suit and expand the federal EAB quarantine. Emerald ash borer was first detected in New York in 2009 in Randolph, Cattaraugus County. It has since been found in 12 other NY Counties: Ulster, Greene, Livingston, Monroe, Steuben, Genesee, Erie, Orange, Albany, Niagara, Dutchess and Tioga.
In 2008, New York adopted regulations that banned untreated firewood from entering the state and restricted intrastate movement of untreated firewood to no more than a 50-mile radius from its source (http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html) . This was done as a precaution against the introduction and spread of EAB and other invasive species because of the documented risk of transmission by moving firewood. After more than three years of outreach and education efforts about the risks of moving firewood and the state's regulation, DEC will be continuing its outreach and "Don't Move Firewood" efforts and will continue its enforcement efforts to prevent the movement of untreated firewood into and around New York.
"The emerald ash borer is a serious threat to our urban, suburban and rural forests," said Diana Hoffman, APHIS' State Plant Health Director. "By working collaboratively with our State partners, local communities, industries and the public, we can curtail the human-assisted movement of the pest."
DEC urges citizens to watch for signs of infestation in ash trees. If damage is consistent with the known symptoms of EAB infestation, report suspected damage by calling DEC's emerald ash borer hotline or by submitting an EAB Report at http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/72136.html. To learn more about emerald ash borer, the firewood regulation, or how you can help slow the spread, please call the DEC's toll-free EAB/Firewood hotline at 1-866-640-0652 or visit the DEC website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html.

Johnson blow for QPR
QPR striker Andy Johnson looks set to miss the majority of the season after suffering a serious knee injury during Saturday's goalless draw against Chelsea.
The 31-year-old was forced off in the first half of the Barclays Premier League stalemate at Loftus Road, with subsequent scans revealing the extent of the problem.
"Andy Johnson suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Chelsea and is likely to be sidelined for the majority of the season," QPR posted on their official Twitter account.
Johnson, who has won eight caps for England, joined Rangers on a two-year contract in the summer after his Fulham deal expired.
The severity of the injury - sustained on Johnson's third appearance for the club - will come as a blow to manager Mark Hughes, who had expressed optimism the former Birmingham, Crystal Palace and Everton man would not be out for too long.
"AJ felt something in his knee. We hope he's going to be okay, but it's a little bit of a worry," Hughes told www.qpr.co.uk after the game.
"You need players like AJ in the squad because they give so much. We'll send him for a scan over the next few days and hopefully he'll be okay."
Rangers, who have picked up only two points from four games so far this season, will continue their search for a first win of the campaign at Tottenham on Sunday.

Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
You can go home again – whether you're Thomas Wolfe or Dean Martin — just don't expect it to look even vaguely like it once did.
That's the case with Houston, where I spent my puberty – from 1965 to 1970. (It was a long puberty.)
Since then, Houston has spread even more than I have. Its rich have become richer, its poor have become poorer, its hot has become hotter, its freeways – weren't there just two? – envelop the city like a mound of spaghetti.
And the Astrodome, that behemoth "modern-day" marvel where I would watch the lowly Astros — the eighth wonder of the world, they called it — now sits empty and unused, an antique that's dwarfed by even larger Reliant Stadium. (I vote for making the Astrodome the world's largest dog park.)
I drove by it yesterday on my way to meet an old friend – more than a friend, really. Houston is where my parents got divorced. While I'd spend summers with my father – here, and there, and then somewhere else – from 12 on, I grew up mostly with my mom.
I don't know if she made a conscious effort to provide me with a male role model, but a co-worker at the Houston Chronicle, the newspaper's editorial cartoonist, ended up being just that.
He cartooned under the name C.P. Houston, though his real name is Clyde Peterson. And as many of my memories that have faded away, I can still semi-clearly recall sitting in his office and watching him conjure up biting editorial cartoons, tennis outings during which we would sweat buckets, Astros games that we'd usually leave disappointed and – yes! — professional wrestling, even, with its absolutely good guys and totally bad guys and never anybody in between.
All that was 45 years ago, and what little we have stayed in touch has mostly been through reports relayed by my mother. He went on to get married, have children, then grandchildren, and test the waters of retirement.
I don't know if I'm a part of him, but I'm pretty sure he's a part of me, to digress back to one of the songs we mentioned yesterday. He – at a time in his life that he probably had far better ways to spend his time than hang around with a snot-nosed pubescent — shaped what I became. (A snot-nosed adult?)
He is honorable, witty and unafraid, a hardcore storyteller, a full-time pursuer of curiosity, the type who, were he a wrestler, would definitely be a good guy, the sort who's willing to set off on a trip whose destination is to be decided later.
I don't claim to be all those things, but I think I am some of them, and – not to totally discount genetics or anything – I think he may be a big reason why. (I don't hold him liable for my numerous negative traits; I think I've managed to develop them on my own.)
The point, other than waxing nostalgic, and thanking Clyde the only way I seem able to – at a distance — is this: I think we are shaped by the people who come into and out of our lives, and by our experiences, to a far greater extent than we are shaped by our genes.
Yesterday, in what was probably the second time I've seen Clyde since my boyhood, we shared a tale or two, or six, and ate some breakfast, after which we stepped back into the humidity and headed to our cars. As I started up my bright red SUV, I glanced into my rearview mirror to see him pulling out.
Suddenly, it wasn't so lonesome in this old town.

The world-renowned Teachings of the Buddha series, developed under the guidance of the scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, features English translations of the historic Buddha's original teachings. These teachings, which range from basic ethics and proper human relations, to instructions in meditation and liberating insight, unfold in a fascinating procession of scenarios that often show the Buddha in living dialogue with people from the many different strata of ancient Indian society. After the Buddha's passing, a record of what he said was maintained as an oral tradition. Those who heard the teachings would periodically meet with others for communal recitations of what they had heard and memorized. In due course, these recitations from memory were written down, laying the basis for all subsequent Buddhist literature.
The Pāli canon is one of the earliest of these written records and is the only complete early version that has survived intact. The Buddha's discourses were assembled into four major collections called Nikāyas, which have been preserved through the centuries in the ancient Indian language known as Pāli. Most of these volumes were translated, edited, and introduced by Bhikkhu Bodhi, a veteran translator who lived for over twenty years in Sri Lanka. Bhikkhu Bodhi has endeavored to ensure that these translations are both accurate and eloquent. To further assist the reader, each volume is equipped with valuable introductory material, copious footnotes, and thematic indexes. These translations have won the esteem of scholars, Buddhist practitioners, and students of Buddhist literature around the world and are indispensable to any collection of Buddhist texts.

After a day spent boating and kayaking on the Sea of Cortez with a local ecotourism group, Rick grills dinner for the group on the beach at Espiritu Santo island—one of the most biologically diverse marine areas in the world. The waters surrounding the island support coral reefs, colonies of sea lions and more than 500 species of fish. To stock up on supplies, Rick shops in the La Paz market for local cheese, fresh produce and chiles and on the island purchases seafood from a fisherman. Along the way, Rick learns from his guides about flying manta rays, dolphins, and the local flora. Then he grills fish and makes a stunning papaya salsa on the beach.

Ad Council
Proposed Canon
A Side that fought against Jetstone, ultimately losing the campaign. It existed within 1815 turns before AW 75. LIAB Text 50
Unit Types
If the Ad Council's name is significant as more than a reference, it could indicate either that it was actually an alliance of sides like the Royal Crown Coalition rather than a single side, or that the side was governed as some form of oligarchic republic (perhaps with the Overlord selected by a council of senior warlords and casters), rather than a monarchy or dictatorship as most sides are. It is unknown how the rules for such a side would work in practice, if it is possible at all.
Real World References
The name of the side is a reference to Ad Council, an American non-profit organization that distributes public service announcements on behalf of various sponsors.
Since the Ad Council historically promoted the Rosie the Riveter fictional character, to promote the employment of women during World War II, as well as the famous "loose lips might sink ships" campaign, a historic scene might have some allusions to these campaigns. Likewise McGruff the Crime Dog was a part of another campaign of the Ad Council and may be seen in the future as a unit type or a City. The publicity around Nancy Reagan's War against drugs included the "just say no" campaign with Ad Council producing PSAs about frying eggs and brains. It's not clear how a campaign "Friends don't let friends drive drunk" can be tied into the Erf story, but it wouldn't be surprising if Balder does so in some way.

SYS TEC electronic GmbH is a skills-based system house offering expertise in leading-edge embedded control technology. The company is based in Greiz/Germany and specializes in research, development and production of custom-tailored solutions and system components for applications in machine control, transportation and automation. SYS TEC electronic GmbH was founded in 1990 with its headquarters in Greiz. Since 2007 SYS TEC electronic operates an own production line in Reichenbach/Germany. In 2005 SYS TEC electronic GmbH established an office in Beijing/China to provide direct support and a native-speaking interface for customers in Mainland China and beyond.
Railtec Systems GmbH, located in Hergiswil/Switzerland, specializes in providing services for transport enterprises and suppliers in all areas of control engineering and software development for rolling stock.
With introducing more and more multimedia services for customers and passengers in the transportation sector, demands on communication systems in trains are increasing, while the space available for electronics is often limited. In addition, many multimedia and void software packages are available for Linux and ix86 platforms. To satisfy the need for performance in demanding applications and to close the gap to commonly known ix86 platforms, SYS TEC electronic recently developed a 19" rack mountable communication platform. The system was optimized for use in rolling stock applications and comprises a?CPU module, Backplane, Power Supply module?as well as an I/O module. The system is EN50155 Class Tx compliant and allows for operation at temperatures from -40°C to +70°C without the need for active cooling. Besides the electronic design, heat management issues turned out to be challenging. Dedicated heat spreading and heat sinking concepts were developed and implemented to allow for a safe operation within the specified operating conditions.
The?CPU Module?is based on an ECUcore-E660 system on module with a 1.3GHz Intel Atom E660T MCU and a Linux Board Support Package. It features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a CAN port, two RS485/RS422 ports, RS232 as well as USB. The module provides a basic memory configuration of 4 GiB on-board SSD and up to 2 GiB DDR2-800 SDRAM. A vibration protected microSD card slot and one lockable SATA port are available to extend the system with external mass storage configurations. The ECUcore-E660 was optimized for reliable operation in an industrial environment. A separate on-board system diagnostics controller on the ECUcore-E660 performs essential monitoring tasks, such as temperature surveillance and power-on management to ensure recovery from critical states, performs continuous supply voltage monitoring and provides a secondary watchdog timer.
The I/O Module provides 8 digital inputs, 2 fast counter inputs, 8 digital outputs and 2 analog inputs. All I/O channels are galvanically isolated and brought out on an industrial grade DIN 41612 compliant 48 pin block connector. The digital input and output channels support an ultra-wide range input voltage from 24V DC to 110V DC including user-configurable filtering options, reverse polarity and overload protection. The analog input channels support input signals types from ±10V, ±20mA, 0…10VDC and 0...20mA. Besides the I/O circuitry, comprehensive intelligent on-board diagnostic functions provide means for precise in-application failure detection, long term diagnostic surveillance and consistently ensure a reliable operation. The module's firmware is in-system upgradable via backplane. Thus, a system-wide firmware upgrade can be handled by the CPU module centrally without the need to remove any component from the rack. In applications that require a long system lifetime and typically come with short repair windows, these enhanced diagnostics and update functions are cutting-edge features to reduce the overall system downtime significantly.
The?Power Supply Module is an intelligent digital ultra wide-range power supply that supports an input voltage range of 24V DC to 110V DC. It provides VME bus compliant to 5V DC and 12V DC voltage levels with up to 100W output power to the backplane. The module is based on a microcontroller-operated booster and a full-bridge push-pull converter. On-board buffer capacitors cover temporary power fail events for a minimum time of 250ms at full load over the entire life time. VME-bus compliant signals as well as system-specific power fail event information are provided to the CPU module. Extensive on-board diagnostic circuitry continuously monitors the health status of the buffer capacitors as well as all voltage and current levels on the backplane. In addition, the CPU module can continuously monitor the system's power consumption for error detection or statistical purposes. An integrated inrush-current limitation, as well as over-current and over-voltage protection prevents the module from internal damage.
Although the developed modules can work with standard VME32 backplanes, their best performance is revealed with the Backplane?that was developed specifically for this Train Communication System. It provides optimized heat-spreading and heat transfer characteristics and allows for use of standard VME power supply units. Multiple CANopen-based bus lines on the backplane support an extreme high level of flexibility and modularity regarding system structure and module placement within the rack.
SYS TEC electronic designed all modules for specifically for Railtec Systems. The serial production is scheduled at SYS TEC production facility in Reichenbach/Germany. All components are covered by the SYS TEC obsolescence management process.

Most of us have little or no knowledge about our national military readiness, our nuclear defense, or the circumstances under which our military are required to perform. But Lt. Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) who frequently visits the war zone, is well aware of these conditions and is very concerned and eager to educate the public about what is being done to our military and defense capabilities.
Col. North reminds us that one of Obama�s first acts in office was to cancel plans to place a missile defense shield in eastern Europe. With the START III Treaty with Russia, our nuclear arsenal was cut in half, from roughly 3,000 to 1,500, a move which handed Russia nuclear superiority. Since his re-election, Obama has quietly ordered the Defense Department to explore the possibility of reducing our arsenal down to as few as 300 warheads.
America is already more than 90 percent dependant on foreign sources of uranium � with half of that from Russia � to fuel 104 nuclear reactors that provide power for more than 1 in 5 American homes and businesses. Although we could produce our own uranium, the Obama Administration shut that possibility down when Interior Secretary Salazar issued an order in 2012 to lock up one million acres of federal land in northwestern Arizona that holds the nation�s highest grade uranium ore.
The assault on our military, our national defense, and our national security is across the board:
The Air Force: Our fighter jet force is aging and rapidly becoming obsolete. But Obama has canceled development of a new state-of-the-art F-22 Raptor fighter jet and slowed purchase of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The Defense Department plans on eliminating 280 aircraft and 9,900 airmen.
The Navy: Obama has called on the Navy to cancel long held plans for a 300 ship fleet, to retire nine current ships early and cut or delay the purchase of 16 others. He is sharply curtailing the Navy�s shipbuilding capabilities.
The Army: Obama plans to cut 72,000 soldiers.
The Marines: He is ordering the elimination of six battalions, four tactical air squadrons and up to 50,000 marines.
He is calling for a new round of base closures. A much-needed new ground combat vehicle for the Army, a new defense weather satellite system, the C-27A transport plane and other needed military weapons and weapons systems are all canceled.
Major Joe Gilbert, USA (Ret.) of Tea Party Vets has been speaking up about Obama moving his environmental agenda into the military. Obama issued a direct order that saddles them with the latest thing in eco-ideology: Battery-powered trucks! In May 2011, Obama decreed in his Executive Order 13423 that: The entire fleet of vehicles must use alternative fuels by 2015. Never mind that these cost at least three times more than comparative vehicles fueled by gasoline and are massively less efficient, and absolutely no legislation was involved in the implementation of this green agenda-driven Executive Order.
Can you imagine the scene if the enemy knows we can only travel 100 miles and then need 8 hours to recharge our batteries? It�s obvious they could pick our military off by just watching the clock. And these trucks would be powered by the same flawed battery technology that keeps bursting into flames in electric autos.
Do you not agree that this is madness and our national defense is in great danger?

World Bulletin/News Desk
Colombia's government warned on Tuesday of a plot by a criminal group to kill several high-profile journalists just weeks after the attempted assassination of an investigative reporter boosted concerns over threats to a free press in the violence-plagued Andean nation.
President Juan Manuel Santos also announced that 90 journalists are being given protection by the government. He urged Attorney General Eduardo Montealegre to investigate attacks against journalists.
"In this government, we're totally committed to get to the very bottom of the problems that undermine this fundamental right to be well-informed that all Colombians have," Santos said at an event to promote media rights.
Journalists and investigators have long been the target of attacks and threats in Colombia, allegedly carried out by corrupt politicians, drug lords, Marxist rebels and right-wing paramilitary leaders to silence coverage that may damage their interests.
A hit man has entered the Colombian capital to kill columnist Leon Valencia, analyst Ariel Avila and reporter Gonzalo Guillen, according to Andres Villamizar, head of a government-run agency to protect high-profile targets.
"We won't allow these plans to be carried out," Villamizar said early on Tuesday on his Twitter account, pledging to step up security.
Before entering politics, Santos served as an editor at the country's top newspaper, El Tiempo, once owned by his family. He said he will strive to protect freedom of expression "because that's where I was born, it's at the heart of who I am."
Even though a U.S.-backed military offensive has improved security in Colombia over the last decade, the new threats throw a spotlight once again on the dangers for reporters covering corruption and criminal gangs in Colombia. This comes as the government seeks a peace accord with the biggest rebel group, the FARC.
The threat likely stems from an investigation into links between paramilitary groups and politicians during last year's municipal elections, Valencia, a former Marxist rebel and columnist for the respected Semana magazine, told Reuters.
The hit man was probably hired by a criminal group with links to politicians, Valencia said.
"No doubt we're afraid because the people involved are very powerful and have no limits," Valencia said. "We will continue investigating, nothing will stop us."
Paramilitary groups continue to operate across Colombia even after former President Alvaro Uribe negotiated their demobilization in 2008 and many handed in their weapons in exchange for light jail sentences. Thousands have morphed into new drug-funded crime gangs and continue to kill and make threats if their operations are at risk.
It was not immediately clear why Guillen would be targeted alongside Valencia and Avila.
Colombia has been rattled by a five-decade war involving various insurgent groups - including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and paramilitary forces - that has killed more than 100,000 people and forced millions to flee their homes.
The new generation of criminal gangs is now fighting with the FARC and paramilitary groups for control of drug-smuggling routes and illegal activities, while journalists, union workers and residents are often caught in the middle.
The latest threat comes on the heels of an assassination attempt two weeks ago on Ricardo Calderon, an investigative journalist who narrowly survived an ambush that riddled his car with bullets as he returned to Bogota after reporting on irregularities in a military prison for Semana magazine.
Last week, eight journalists were given 24 hours to leave the city of Valledupar, in Cesar province, as they reported on government attempts to return stolen land to war victims. Leaflets from a little-known group, the Anti-land Restitution Army, declared the reporters collaborators and hence targets for death.
All the reporters and analysts threatened have worked on some of the most damning stories, including corruption in northern La Guajira province, the government's intelligence agency wire tapping opponents, and right-wing paramilitary involvement in the nation's Congress.Last Mod: 15 Mayıs 2013, 15:00

Having asthma isn't easy, and for most kids, neither is being a teen. You can help your teen with information and support.
Make sure your teen understands he or she is not alone. Asthma is a common condition among children and teens in the U.S. According to the CDC, 7.4% of adults and 8.6% of children in the U.S. have asthma.
Even though asthma management can be disruptive, try to keep things as normal as possible.
Your teen may not believe or understand how serious flare-ups can be. Talk about what can actually happen. Make sure you also discuss your teen's fears. Be honest, but provide reassurance. And, make sure he or she understands that with good management, most flare-ups can be avoided.
Let your child help prepare and update his or her asthma action plan. He or she should work with a healthcare provider as much as possible. This will show your teen that you respect and trust him or her. Make sure your teen knows the following:
What triggers his or her asthma symptoms. Your teen should also start to take responsibility for avoiding triggers.
How to monitor for changing symptoms. This might be using a peak flow meter or by watching closely for early symptoms.
What to do if symptoms start to worsen. And, what to do if symptoms become severe.
The importance of taking controller medicines as instructed. These medicines must be taken even when your teen feels well.
To stay away from tobacco products and second-hand smoke.
Ask your child how much support he or she wants from you. Then let your healthcare provider help decide how much freedom is appropriate and safe. Let your teen know that freedom comes from proving that he or she can manage with little help. Make sure you and your child understand the rules surrounding self-treatment at school and that your teen feels empowered to let someone know if their asthma is doing poorly.
Handing over some asthma management to your teen may not be easy. You can do it in small steps. Learning how to manage asthma on his or her own is an important step toward being a responsible, healthy adult.
Get support from other parents, your child's provider, or nurse. The American Lung Association even has an online support community. The website is www.lung.org.
Make sure you are educated about asthma. And share what you know with your teen. That includes the printed information and website addresses. Ask healthcare providers for asthma resources, like books, games, or videos for teens. That way, your teen gets the information from others besides you.

Described as a not-to-be-missed look at one of the art world's most fascinating controversies and a celebrated selection of the Toronto, New York and AFI Film Festivals, Don Argott's gripping documentary THE ART OF THE STEAL chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than $25 billion.
In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes formed a remarkable educational institution around his priceless collection of art, located just five miles outside of Philadelphia. Now, more than 50 years after Barnes' death, a powerful group of moneyed interests have gone to court for control of the art, and intend to bring it to a new museum in Philadelphia. Standing in their way is a group of Barnes' former students and his will, which contains strict instructions stating the Foundation should always be an educational institution, and that the paintings may never be removed. Will they succeed, or will a man's will be broken and one of America's greatest cultural monuments be destroyed?
Watch The Art of the Steal, the award-winning documentary, and then join in a lively examination of this turn of events with expert panelists from IUPUI and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

The Sports Xchange
By Mike Shalin, The Sports Xchange
BOSTON -- With trade winds blowing and Boston Bruins fans dreaming of the potential arrival of 525-goal scorer Jarome Iginla, there was a game to play Wednesday night, and the Montreal Canadiens rallied to spoil the excitement.
Brendan Gallagher scored a goal in a third-period rally, then scored only goal of a six-round shootout to give the Canadiens a 6-5 victory over their top rivals.
It was the second time in as many tries this season that the Canadiens rallied in the third period in Boston. The victory gave Montreal (21-7-5) sole possession of first place in the Northeast Division, a point ahead of the Bruins (21-7-4).
Patrice Bergeron had a goal and three assists, and Tyler Seguin a goal and two helpers as the Bruins erased a 2-0 deficit with four goals in the second period to take the lead. However, the Canadiens scored three times in the third period. Defenseman Andrei Markov tied it with 8.2 seconds left on a 6-on-4 advantage created by a delay-of-game penalty on Boston's Aaron Johnson, plus Montreal pulling the goalie.
That goal was originally credited to Gallagher but was changed after the game to Markov's sixth of the season.
Montreal goalie Peter Budaj, who replaced Carey Price after the second period and was strong the rest of the way, stopped all six shootout attempts by the Bruins. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask was perfect until Gallagher beat him between the pads. He made 23 saves through regulation and overtime.
With the Bruins hoping to land Iginla to help their offense, Boston scored five goals for only the second time this year, but it wasn't enough. They gave up five (not counting the shootout) for only the second time this season.
Dougie Hamilton (No. 4), Brad Marchand (No. 14), Bergeron (No. 10) and Nathan Horton (No. 9) scored in the second period to chase Price. Budaj was beaten only on a Seguin goal with 8:10 left in the third.
Gallagher beat Rask just 28 seconds later, and Markov added the late equalizer.
It was after the last game that the Bruins accused the Canadiens of diving to get calls, a claim Montreal's Max Pacioretty answered with claims the Bruins were "jealous" of the Habs being in first place at the time.
Former Bruin Michael Ryder scored two goals (Nos. 11 and 12), one in the first period and one in the third. Montral's P.K. Subban, the defenseman TD Garden fans love to hate, made it 2-0 at 2:53 of the second.
Ryder was stopped by his former teammate 30 seconds into the game but was left all alone in front for the fourth goal of his second tour with the Canadiens, all in the past seven games.
The Bruins bounced back 39 seconds later when Seguin hit the post, Bergeron got the rebound and fed Hamilton in the slot.
Bergeron then set up Marchand, who converted his own rebounds at 7:23 to tie the game at 2.
Young Boston defenseman Torey Krug, recalled earlier in the day from Providence, was playing his second shift (this one with Zdeno Chara) when Ryder scored. He was also on the ice for the Subban goal. Krug also saw time on the power play and penalty kill in the first period.
NOTES: Iginla trade talk was buzzing, and late word surfaced that Boston prospect Alexei Khokhlachev was a late scratch for Providence, after young defenseman Matt Bartkowski (who signed a contract extension through next season on Tuesday) was a healthy scratch in Boston. Iginla was a scratch in Calgary, missing his first game since April 2007. Earlier in the day, Boston general manager Peter Chiraelli said on his weekly appearance on the team's flagship radio station that he won't be dealing 19-year-old goalie Malcolm Subban. "He's young. He's a very good goalie prospect, and I see him in our future and being a big part of our future," Chiarelli said. ... The Bruins claimed forward Kaspars Daugavins off waivers from Ottawa. Daugavins, whose only goal this season was against the Bruins and can be remembered for his trick shot shootout attempt that was stopped by Rask, was having his work visa taken care of. Krug's arrival coincided with Johnny Boychuk (foot) being placed on injured reserve. ... The Canadiens host the New York Rangers on Saturday, while the Bruins, who have their last two-day rest of the regular season Thursday and Friday, visit Philadelphia and Buffalo over the weekend. ... Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin played in his 100th NHL game. ... The Canadiens and Bruins complete their season series April 6 at Montreal.

USDA's latest supply-demand estimates indicate that wheat fundamentals are improving in the United States and the world, although slowly.
The best news is that for the third straight year, world consumption has outpaced production (by 17 million metric tons), which has had the effect of reducing the world's supply of wheat.
"We're significantly moving our ending stocks down," said Paul Dickerson, vice president of U.S. Wheat Associates. "The stocks-to-use ratio is getting down to historically low numbers. The main difference between now and five years ago, when we had a pretty good price spike, is that today we have a whole lot more U.S. stocks.
Dickerson says that these large supplies in the United States and other major wheat exporters are slowing price recovery.
In addition, there's been a major shift in the composition of world importers in the past five to 10 years, notes Dickerson. "We're seeing more private sector buyers than public sector buyers. The private sector is closely watching unit costs, so with prices being as weak as they have, those in the private sector have been hand-to-mouth buyers.
"If we have a catalyst that really rocks the market and if we could scare a lot of folks into coming into the market, that could kick up prices."
On Oct. 12, USDA estimated total 2000 U.S. wheat production at 2.239 billion bushels, down 63 million from the previous forecast and down 3 percent from 1999.
USDA also forecast larger imports than last year, smaller U.S. supply and higher domestic use. The latter was raised 25 million bushels from last month's figure because of larger-than-expected feed and residual use during the June-August quarter.
U.S. wheat ending stocks are currently projected at 888 million bushels, down 88 million from last month and the lowest since 1997-98. USDA forecast the season average price to farmers at between $2.35 and $2.75 per bushel, up 10 cents on the low end of the range from a month earlier.
USDA also made significant production changes for several U.S. competitors. Australia is forecast to produce 21 million tons of wheat, down 2 million from last month's projection and more than 3 million less than last year's record.
"Frankly, several people think that USDA was conservative estimating Australia's production at 21 million tons," Dickerson noted. "It could be under 20 million metric tons."
Preliminary harvest reports from Canada indicate lower-than-expected yields, dropping the production forecast by 500,000 tons to 25.5 million for 2000-01. Canada's wheat production is expected to decline by over a million tons from the previous year, despite a 5-percent increase in area. Canada's wheat export forecast declined in line with lower production.
Although the United States faces less competition from Australia and Canada this month, U.S. export prospects remain unchanged because of the modest pace of early-season sales.
World wheat consumption is expected to expand slowly in 2000-01, still, it's forecast to remain significantly larger than production, reducing global ending stocks by 17 million tons over the course of the year, to 111 million tons.
On Oct. 3, U.S. Wheat Associates provided a final update on the quality of the 2000 U.S. crop. The average test weight for hard red spring wheat was 60.4. That's higher than the 1999 average of 59.3. In contrast, the average test weight for the durum crop was 58.8, compared to 59.8 last year.
Meanwhile, as of Oct. 8, 50 percent of the winter wheat crop was seeded, up 16 percentage points from a week earlier, but below the five-year average. Fall planting conditions have improved very little in the Southern Plains, where drought conditions have persisted for several weeks. Winter wheat planting in this region is behind normal due to dry soil conditions.
Wheat had emerged on only 20 percent of the planted area, compared with the five-year average of 34 percent.
