* Activists are asking OPPD to stop burning coal at its north Omaha plant. A tip to any activists from out of the area: If you want OPPD officials to do something, it's always best to try to tie it to a consumer rate increase.
* The price tag for the new UNO arena has increased $11.6 million. To make up the difference, UNO will likely raise the price of a pass to park on campus to $9,500.
* The federal government is scheduled to shut down at midnight Monday. Just enough time for Sen. Ted Cruz to read "The Cat in the Hat" on the Senate floor.
* In event of a federal government shutdown, essential personnel stay on the job and nonessential personnel do not. That means that Michelle Obama and George Clooney would continue working in the White House and President Obama would be teeing off somewhere.
* If nonessential government personnel are sent home, that means there will be one guy still working in the House of Representatives.
* If a government shutdown lasts more than a couple days, many NASA activities will halt. Before that, can someone arrange for the 55-foot robotic arm to give the finger to Congress?
* Regarding a government shutdown: We already knew that in Congress we elected a bunch of incompetent, do-nothing, moronic doofuses, but now it appears they're worse than that.
* A government shutdown may delay Colorado flood relief. Suggested campaign commercial for anyone running against an incumbent: a split screen showing Sen. Ted Cruz reading "Green Eggs and Ham" with flood visuals on the other side.
* The only way things go downhill from here is if Republicans try to tie keeping the government open to a potential pardon for the White House Thanksgiving turkey.
* Michele Bachmann recently compared President Obama to a British tyrant. So at least the two parties are making an effort to get along.
* In Scott Township, Pa., there's a controversy over some supposed penis shaped concrete pillars. Let's just all hope Congress doesn't tie this one to the government shutdown.
* USC fired football coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin will be back. He's only 38, or, as that's called in college football, "half a Bill Snyder."
* To replace Kiffin, USC reportedly wants someone familiar with the program with high visibility. How about Snoop Lion?
* During a debate with Skip Bayless on ESPN, Stephen A. Smith appeared to fall asleep. According to a quick survey, 90 percent of sports viewers would rather watch a guy sleep on ESPN than sample the NFL Network.

Granderson caps rough day with winning RBI for Mets
It took all afternoon before Curtis Granderson finally generated some goodwill at Citi Field.
- Apr. 20, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
It took all afternoon before Curtis Granderson finally generated some goodwill at Citi Field.
Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard led the way out of the Philadelphia Phillies' offensive slump.
By the time rookie Dean Anna stepped to the plate in the 12th inning on Sunday, the Yankees were desperate for good news. Two embarrassing losses and one potentially season-ending injury had them on the verge of the worst kind of weekend collapse.
Craig Kimbrel hardly ever needs help with the ninth inning. He got some Saturday night.
As the base runners and home runs kept piling up, it was eventually past time for Yankees manager Joe Girardi to visit the mound with either a pitching coach or a brand new pitcher.
Not even hitter-friendly Coors Field could snap the Philadelphia Phillies out of their offensive funk.
The New York Mets traded slumping first baseman Ike Davis to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night, parting ways with a power hitter who proved to be too inconsistent at the plate.
In the year of Mariano Rivera's retirement, the Yankees lasted nearly three weeks without a blown save
Aaron Harang knew the score, he'd done this before: No hits, too many tosses.
Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run home run after No. 3 hitter Carlos Gonzalez was intentionally walked in front of him, Tyler Chatwood pitched seven strong innings for his first win of the season, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-1 Friday night.
Before he spent 14 hours Wednesday on a C-shaped couch watching the 4,413 pitches thrown in 15 Major League Baseball games, Keith McPherson agreed with a friend who hollered 'Let's get ready for work' as he walked through the front door.
One big, ugly, disastrous inning ruined each of CC Sabathia's first three starts this season. On Thursday, he found a tried-and-true way to keep just such an inning at bay.
Eleven days ago, Jimmy Rollins stood in a cramped Wrigley Field clubhouse and made bold proclamations of the Phillies' upcoming 10-game homestand.
Masahiro Tanaka came over from Japan to New York shouldering sky-high expectations, and after his first three major league starts, he's somehow managed to live up to them.
Cliff Lee lived in a cruel world Thursday night, specifically the one where a pitcher strikes out 13 batters and makes one mistake a home run to that pesky Evan Gattis and winds up with nothing to show for it.
A lighting ceremony was held today at the Empire State Building in New York City in honor of Jackie Robinson Day.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis had three hits and three RBI in his season debut, Jenrry Mejia pitched five effective innings in a combined three-hitter and the New York Mets routed the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks 9-0 Tuesday night.
The Yankees' infield was full of uncertainty even before their first baseman went on the disabled list, their second baseman needed an MRI, their shortstop sat out with a sore hamstring, and their utility man failed to open the season.
Hoping to wash away memories of Monday's brutal 9-6 loss to the Braves, the Phillies instead got washed out by torrential rains, forcing a postponement of Tuesday's game until sometime later in the season.
By the end of Monday's game, it was hard to believe the Phillies' 9-6 loss was a pitcher's duel for the first 51/3 innings.
Marking the 67th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier, Rev. Jesse Jackson praised Commissioner Bud Selig for the strides the sport has taken in minority opportunities over the past two decades.
Mets ace Matt Harvey attended Sunday's Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on his off day from his rehab from Tommy John Surgery.
Tony Perez was on the road with the Cincinnati Reds in 1966 when he got the call that his first child was on the way. There was no discussion about leaving the team to attend Victor's birth, no such thing as paternity leave.
You never know how a free-agent addition will fit into a new clubhouse, and with the Yankees turning over much of their roster this offseason, there were legitimate questions about how long it would take for the fresh faces to settle in.
As soon as the Yankees' lineup was posted in the clubhouse before Sunday night's series finale with the Boston Red Sox, various reporters and scribes took to Twitter and other platforms with a fury.
Bartolo Colon thought all was OK as he took the mound in the first inning.
The power outage in the Bronx is no more.
Anthony Recker led off the 13th inning with a home run against rookie Matt Shoemaker and also had a two-run single, leading the New York Mets to a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Jimmy Rollins got some unexpected motivation during his at-bat in the 10th inning when a fan seated near the Phillies dugout was constantly chirping at him.

Workforce surveys consistently rate supervision as a key factor in worker retention.

Comments On Aug 22, 2011:They fit great, look great, and as an added advantage over handguards with molded on plastic, you can easily and cheaply replace the hand shields to change the look or freshen up the guards. These are the only handguards I'll use for woods or desert.

Comments On Mar 18, 2010:I purchased a second set of Cycra guards for my second bike, (the first set was mounted to a CR250, the second I recently tried to mount on a CRF 450)....
The old design was GREAT! To be clear, I am reviewing the CRM model, which looking at RC's website, it looks like the old, (short), design is no longer available???
The new design of the CRM model places the inside guard mount very near, (essentially right up against), the handlebar mount, (verses the older design where the inside guard mount was placed midway between the controls and the handlebar mount). Let me tell you the FLAWS!
1.) The guard mounts have to fit between the top of the fork tube and the handlebar itself. To get the mount to fit, I had to lower my forks about a quarter inch on each side. Unexpected surprise #1.
2.) Along with having to make room for the mount to fit between the bar and the forks, I also noticed that the mount was about the exact width as the space between the upper bridge of the fork structure, (the part that looks like you can grab onto it with a crescent wrench), so the mount would continually ride against this structure unless I dropped the forks another quarter inch, NOT. I was not going to succumb to surprise #2. 3.) The CRM model obstructs the fork bleed valve since the mount is located just to the inside of the bleeder valve and extends up and out, right over the valve, so either: a) forget about bleeding your forks again, (which you should do after every ride) or b:) purchase button release bleed valves for an added $50. Surprise #3. 4.) The primary aluminum frame paralleling the bars goes OVER the cables/brake line, (actually touching them, whereas the old design went under the cable/brake line). Terrible design with the CRM model since the cables/brake lines need to be free to extend upward upon compression of the front forks, (where else are the cables going to go but up - great thing you CRM owners have a cable and brake line STOP mounted in the middle of your line/cable - I wonder how many blows your lines will take before, lets say, rupturing your hydraulic line?). Surprise #4 - and no more! 5.) Additionally, the length of the guard would require me to replace the existing number plate that I have. My CRF450 number plate has a plastic extension that wraps around the handlebar pad on one side. The CRM design places the guard bar in the same location as the plastic.
The quality of the product is great. The engineering and design is 3rd grade! I love this sport and it frustrates me to no end to have a quality company like Cycra turn out such poor design, (I hope they read this!). Ive never returned a product to Rocky Mountain before this, but this CRM design is a leap backwards in design from their earlier model that mounts midway on the bar! I wasted 2 hours of my life trying to accommodate these guards. Dont do the same.
Save yourself the frustration, and dont buy the CRM model

Comments On Feb 04, 2010:I have a set of these on my ktm and they are the very best hand gaurds i have ever used. Super strong, plenty of clearence for cables and levers, and do not roll up or down when you crash as bad as many others. One prblm tho, If you cut your bars much these will not fit. So if you dnt like wide bars i wouldnt recomend.

My bike routinely exceeds $20.00 to fill up.:mad:
I don't know about other banks but my bank has some sort of overdraft protection for the debit card. They started it sometime last year. If you overdraw they pay and penalize you. Thankfully, I haven't found out the details from first hand experience. I do think this is some sort of limit on the overdraw amount.
With that said I find it's usually safe to follow the rule that if a DUmmie is typing words it is probably lying.

Judge Allows Bagley, MN, Woman Accused of Leaving Kids in Hot Car to Live With ThemBEMIDJI - The Bagley woman accused of leaving four children in a hot car last month has been allowed to move back in with the children.
By: Bethany Wesley, Forum Communications
BEMIDJI - The Bagley woman accused of leaving four children in a hot car last month has been allowed to move back in with the children.
Bianca Jean Hazelrigg, 21, of Bagley, charged with gross misdemeanor endangerment of a child by putting them in a position that could cause them harm or death, appeared Monday before Beltrami County District Judge Paul Benshoof.
Her hearing was continued until Aug. 20, but during her appearance, Benshoof granted a request to allow Hazelrigg, who is out on bail, to move back in with her boyfriend and the four children she is accused of leaving unattended in a hot car for nearly 30 minutes.
After Beltrami County Attorney Tim Faver said he did not object to the request, Benshoof said he would allow Hazelrigg to move back in with the children but ordered her to maintain contact with Clearwater County Human Services and follow its recommendations.
"I'm willing to do anything," Hazelrigg told the judge.

When the going's good, America often kicks God to the curb. But, "Let things come undone, and God gets the call. As if God were some celestial Saint Bernard that arrives not with a barrel of schnapps strapped beneath his neck but an abundant supply of consolation."
Seems like yesterday that I typed those words.
Not 10 years ago — and a week after the Columbia shuttle disintegrated and President George W. Bush, after a second American tragedy, invoked the Creator of the heavens in a mournful eulogy.
Words and circumstance that provided a solemn launch to what has been my decade-long conversation with readers. And what a ride it has been.
My mission from the start was to show our connectedness by sharing our neighbors' stories in this space. Stories of faith. Stories of courage. Stories of happily ever after. And the reverse.
You met kids like Luis "Luigi" Mojica, a 13-year-old Eminem fan who had both incurable cancer and the music in him. Rap music, to be precise.
Too sick to boogie and wheelchair-reliant, Luigi insisted on donning his tux and attending the prom hosted by BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation for kids whom cancer had ravaged — their bodies but not their souls. There, revelers conspired to vote Luigi prom prince. When his name was called, friends lifted Luigi to his feet. And his princess held him tight as he winced through their waltz.
After the prom, and after he had stashed his golden crown in a drawer under his bed, Luigi told his mom: "I was the prince of the night because maybe next year, I won't be at the party."
Two weeks after that column published, Luigi was rapping with angels.
And you met Jackie Herman, the mother who sat sentry at her younger son's basketball practices to protect him from the fate of his prodigal brother, shot dead during a pizza-store holdup:
"That world is something else out there," she said at the time. "My oldest was always respectful — 'Yes, sir, no, sir' — but that was in my eyesight. But you never know what your child will do when they step out that door. It was a hard lesson for me to learn."
Over time, issues took center-stage. AIDS. Abortion. Police profiling. Promiscuity. Failing schools. Veterans. Feral cats.
And, yes, race. As I noted in my debut column, having endured "tattered [experiences], like the first time, then second and third times a stranger called me" the n-word provided me a vantage point no other Sentinel news columnist possessed. Informed with that perspective, I've labored to defuse the dynamite that is race in America.
Often, with explosive results. Calling out the race-baiting elements of the tea party and castigating former presidential candidate Herman Cain for resurrecting black stereotypes brought down a hail of shrapnel.
One reader, who anointed me a "stupid race whore," declared: "These comments say a lot about you as a person; you're irrational, misinformed about the justice system and blinded by race. You sir are a racist and it's disgusting."
Comes with the territory. Only more so, in recent years, as American discourse has coarsened into invective during these 10 years.
What hasn't changed, though, is the thoughtful discourse I share with readers who call and email. Passionate debate on the issues. And, often, consensus.
I look forward to continuing the debate. And brokering another decade of handshakes with your neighbors.

John from the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) chats with Jeffrey and John on the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.
In the past year, the last remaining IPv4 addresses were handed out to global regions. Some areas of the world have already run out of unallocated addresses, so it's essential that in the next few years everyone starts using IPv6. This year, the World IPv6 Launch happens on 6 June 2012, with internet service providers (ISPs), networking equipment manufacturers and web companies permanently enabling IPv6 for their products and services. This is a big step forward in the transition to IPv6 but don't worry, IPv4 isn't going away for at least 10 years.
