And once again, in spite of all that Texas money, he is still coaching at Alabama. I'm sure they were not even close to the only ones to inquire.
It is obvious that, like every other former coach, at some point he will no longer be here. Just like at some point Miles will no longer be at LSU.

It's pretty clear this story broke out today, a few days after another embarrasing loss by UT, to put pressure on ole Mack to step aside. If it was for any other reason it would of broke 9 months ago when these "conversations" went on.
To me, I wouldn't understand why Saban would leave Bama for another college job. Even if it was for 2 million more a year. He has it made where he is at and has a dynasty going on like no other in recent CFB history and it could very well just be in the middle of it. Would he really better him self by going to Texas?Would he be able to win more than he already is? Being 62 yr old does he want to have to rebuild another top tier program? With Saban already being well compensated and having no financial issues to worry about and If UT could pay more money, would the extra 2 million or so a year overcome all the happiness and control he has at this point?
One other intangible in the UT situation is that since it is a state university, the salary of the head coach must be approved by the Board of Regents, along with an endorsement by the Governor of the State...and last time I checked he was an Aggie thru and thru
Just saw Melissa Stark on the NFL Network....was always wondering what happened to her
I think Gov Perry would endorse Kiffin.

So much hope. So much optimism. And so little to show for it.
After trading up as much as 1.1% this morning, the S&P 500 gained just 0.4% to 1,639.77 today, while the Dow Jones Industrials rose 0.2% to 14,833.96. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.6% to 3,612.61.
What made a positive day feel like we're waiting for the next shoe to drop? Well, first there was good economic data. The Institute for Supply Management's August manufacturing index rose to 55.7 from 55.4 in July and beat economist forecasts. That caused Treasury yields to rise as speculation continued to build that the Fed would start tapering come its September meeting. Capital Economics' Amna Asaf explains:
Another monthly increase in the US ISM manufacturing index to a 28-month high of 55.7 in August, after surging to 55.4 in July, suggests that the improvement in overseas activity appears to be benefiting US producers…
Overall, at 55.7, the headline index points to a further acceleration in GDP growth to around 3% annualised in the third quarter, up from 2.5% in the second. We doubt growth will be quite that strong, but clearly this is the sort of the news that could prompt the Fed to begin tapering its monthly asset purchases later this month.
Then there's Syria, where Republicans and Democrats found that they actually can agree on something–blowing stuff up. Wells Fargo's Sameer Samana discusses the implications for investors:
A potential attack on Syria has increased geopolitical uncertainty and dampened prospects for international equity and commodity markets over the coming months. Along with the Federal Reserve's stated intention to start tapering bond purchases in the near future, this additional headwind may lead markets to tread water in the near-term. Long-term investors should focus on our constructive outlook for the remainder of this year and beyond, and look for opportunities that may present themselves.

Nielsen has reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012. In Q4, revenue grew by three percent to $1,464 million compared to a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was up six percent to $457 million, but net income fell to $39 million from $95 million in Q4 2011. This decline was attributed to charges of $70 million, net of tax, related to the redemption of senior notes and a prepayment of a loan. Adjusted net income in Q4 was up to $234 million from $190 million a year prior.
For all of 2012, revenue was up one percent to $5,612 million, with adjusted EBITDA up four percent to $1,602 million. Net income for the year grew from $86 million in 2011 to $273 million and adjusted net income increased from $590 million in 2011 to $704 million last year.
"Nielsens fourth quarter results showed strong growth in recurring revenue and continued margin expansion," said Nielsen CEO David Calhoun. "Our full year performance demonstrated the overall resilience of our business despite a tougher environment for corporate spending. We remain focused on delivering value to clients, investing to grow our business and expanding our capabilities. We are pleased to deliver enhanced shareholder value as we begin paying a quarterly dividend."

I came away with an unsatisfied feeling. That's it? After such a great season and that's it? I wanted more. Not enough resolution for me, but hey, that's just me. I do want to see this ep again, maybe this week, maybe in a few months, to see if it's more satisfying.
I wanted to see Martinez get it just as bad as the Governor. The Gov is a psychotic egomaniac who can't come back from the edge of insanity after shooting his 'soldiers.'
Really bummed out about Andrea, but wasn't it kinda expected? Such a fighter to go out like that? If it weren't for the stab wound, I kinda expected Milton to take notes about the transformation.
The rest of Woodbury coming back to the prison was natural. Taking them in was the right thing to do.
I agre: Rick needs to be more of a father to Carl next season. When Carol ran off at the end, I half-expected to see him standing next to the fence and get bit.
Now to wait six months.

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Riva Gold
Associated Press
Playing StarCraft can boost problem solving and creative thinking, according to a new study by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University College London. Researchers found that those who engaged in the real-time military strategy game improved their "cognitive flexibility," or the ability to adjust their thinking to meet different situations.
The participant pool was composed entirely of 72 female students at the University of Texas at Austin, because researchers were unable to find male participants who played computer games for less than two hours a day.
"We screened hundreds of prospective participants and only found a handful of males that met the criteria for novice gamer," said study co-author Brad Love from University College London.
Participants in the research were assigned to one of three groups. Two groups engaged in different versions of StarCraft, where players fight for control of a territory, and a third played The Sims, a slower-paced game where users manage a simulated household. Each played video games for roughly an hour a day for six to eight weeks.
Researchers found that in subsequent psychological tests, volunteers who played the most complex version of StarCraft were the quickest and most accurate in their responses.
StarCraft can require players to recall multiple fact sets simultaneously to make quick adjustments, particularly in early base-building strategy decisions and in high-intensity confrontations. Professional players can engage in hundreds of actions per minute as they decide where to build and expand and what their opponents may do in response.
"Playing StarCraft requires an intensive amount of thinking, planning, acting and reacting," says video game expert Yu-Kai Chou, who adds that users are penalized for every second of indecision. "Some professionals from Korea also say they put sandbags on their wrists to train, so they can execute more actions quicker," says Mr. Chou.
Mr. Love says the real-time strategy game stresses working memory but "simultaneously requires the player to rapidly make a number of strategic decisions."
In testing, participants were evaluated on a number of tasks including memory tests, visual search, and information filtering. The research team concluded that cognitive flexibility can be learned through games that emphasize quick and concurrent management of different types of information.
Authors say the research is the first to link real-time strategy games with cognitive flexibility, which measures a person's ability to switch between tasks and use multiple concepts and ideas to solve problems.
"This result alone suggests the need for further studies of gaming's effect on us, as young people are gaming at incredibly high rates," Mr. Love said.
Arthur Kramer, psychology professor at the University of Illinois, said while skills practiced in the game can transfer to closely related tasks, it isn't clear those same skills could be applied more broadly.
Other studies have found a link between video games and brain function. While some have associated video games with depression and a lack of emotional control, others linked action-based video and computer games to improved cognitive performance, hand-eye coordination, decision-making and perception.
The study was funded in part by grants from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Army Research Laboratory and National Institutes of Health.

For designer shopping in Dubai, there's no better place to head than the BurJuman Centre. One of Dubai's most popular malls, BurJuman's recent extension now offers shoppers a bigger range than ever. Good for clothes, which, in fashion-conscious Dubai, is a must, it is well worth browsing through the impressive line-up of boutique shops.
There is also a proliferation of designer names (including Calvin Klein, D&G, Diesel, Hermes, Polo Ralph Lauren and a huge Saks Fifth Avenue) jostling for space with the Mangos, Nexts and Zaras of this world. It really is designer shopping paradise.
The BurJuman Centre is well stocked with perfumes, cosmetics and jewellery. Children are well catered for, too, at Fun City and Fun World. A key sponsor of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), you'll find plenty of offers here during the hotter months, and the mall is also a huge promoter of breast cancer awareness, pulling out all the stops and bedecking itself in pink ribbon every October to draw attention to the cause.
If designer shopping is close to you heart, Dubai's BurJuman Centre should be first on your list.
Address: Trade Centre Rd
Open: Saturday to Thursday 10:00 to 22:00, Friday 14:00 to 22:00

"A note of explanation for ballot #2: When the MNRC board made the decision to run the event as a four way split it became necessary to implement a method of choosing an extra set of judges. The MNRC decided that it was desirable to have judges with prior MNRC judging experience represented and the event. Ballot 2 consists of prior MNRC judges. However, this year no person from Region #3 with prior MNRC experience was willing to judge the 2013 event. As a result, two people from Region 3 Ballot 1 will be elected to judge the 2013 event"

Anthropogenic wastes, toxic chemicals, and changes in land-use patterns resulting from residential, commercial, and recreational development have stressed the environment of the Sound, causing degradation and potential loss of benthic habitats (Koppelman and others, 1976; Long Island Sound Study, 1994). Detailed maps of the sea floor are needed to help evaluate the extent of adverse impacts and to help manage resources wisely in the future. Therefore, in a continuing effort to better understand Long Island Sound, we have constructed and interpreted sidescan sonar mosaics (complete-coverage acoustic images of the sea floor) within specific areas of special interest. The mosaic presented herein covers a 190.3 km square area of the sea floor in the West-Central Basin of Long Island Sound.
The mosaics and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretation of point measurements.
The sidescan sonar data were multiplexed and filtered to convert the data into the desired processing format and to remove speckle noise and corrected for slant-range distortions. The mosaic include the following standards: 1 meter resolution, image 'shine through' to account for areas of overlap, and auto contrast adjustment. The final image was projected in Universal Transverse Mercator to maintain the aspect ratio.

Questions regarding animal conflicts within realistic or unrealistic settings are welcome; my strength lies in medium-to-large species. Small animals (including birds of prey), prehistoric animals, sea creatures, and domestic dog breeds are usually within my scope, but to a lesser degree. I can't confidently answer hypothetical questions about human vs animal, arachnids, insects, or amphibians, but I am willing to field them nonetheless.
From a young age, I have been interested in animals. Starting with the original Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and World Book Encyclopedias, I have seen many animal shows and documentaries and have read multiple books on the subject. I have a solid understanding of the physiology of many animals and interspecies conflict in general.

Initial findings on gestational diabetes (GDM) screening and management in rural India have been released by IDF. The Focus Groups Discussions (FGD), part of the situation analysis of IDF's WINGS (Women in India with GDM Strategy) project in rural Chennai, India, show that many women feel alone in managing their diagnosis and lack education on how to control the condition.
About 100 women responded to the situation analysis survey and one group discussion was conducted among Village Health Nurses (VHNs). The analysis showed that up to 45% of women with GDM did not know about the importance of diet in managing their GDM whilst 80% did not know about the importance of physical activity in controlling the condition. 81% heard about GDM for the first time during their diagnosis.
"I was scared when I was diagnosed with GDM" said one woman involved in the situation analysis. Another woman said "I feel sad and it is difficult to talk about my condition. Nobody in my family has this problem. Why me?".
Up to 16% of women in rural India will be diagnosed with GDM yet many face daily constraints and challenges in controlling their condition. Many rural women do not have opportunities to exercise and follow dietary recommendations, key to controlling diabetes. One of the Village Health Nurses highlighted that "Most women find it difficult to follow diet advice due to lack of family support".
The WINGS project aims to establish a GDM Model of Care in rural India. The Model will be developed using best practice and will establish clinical guidelines in conjunction with the chosen sites in India to ensure the approach is culturally appropriate and feasible. The first phase of the project is the situation analysis to understand current practices in GDM screening and management in India.

Worked for a compressed air company and had to carry a big 200 hp unit over to a power plant in Alabama. They were renting the unit. When we backed up to the dock we jumped out of the truck and began to unchain the unit from the truck. We were quickly told to stop what we were doing. We had to wait for union workers to come unchain the unit from the truck. But they were on break. So we had to sit and wait for them. Then we had to wait for a union fork lift driver to come and unload it.
My gosh, We just wanted to get the job done in a timely manner, but couldnt be cause of the union.

Funny... she never said that when she was Speaker...
Nancy Pelosi: 'Elections Shouldn't Matter as Much as They Do'
Daniel Halper
April 12, 2011 11:36 AM
Perhaps it's sour grapes, or perhaps it's a recent reawakening, but in a speech by Nancy Pelosi at Tufts University earlier this week, the former speaker of the House had some advice for her Republican colleagues in particular and some reflections on elections in general:
To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesnt matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now -- perhaps in another question I'll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn't matter as much as they do...But when it comes to a place where there doesn't seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now.
This seems like a bit of change for Pelosi, who in 2009 suggested that the results of a special election in the 23rd Congressional District of New York were a big win for health care:
Interesting what happens when one's on the losing side of an election and is demoted from speaker of the House to minority leader. Though in her Tufts speech, Pelosi did say, I think that President Obama is what is right for our country.
Nevertheless, Tufts president Larry Bacow thanked Pelosi for affording students the privilege of studying there:
University President Lawrence Bacow praised Pelosi's efforts in Congress to make financial aid more accessible.
"Many students would not have the privilege of studying at Tufts but for the efforts of Leader Pelosi," he said.
It's common practice for a college president, of course, to speak highly of prominent speakers who are visiting his campus. But this strikes me as a bit of a stretch.

STARKVILLE – With a sparse crowd helplessly looking on, Mississippi State continued to tread new depths.
The Bulldogs suffered their 12th consecutive loss, falling behind early and suffering yet another blowout at Humphrey Coliseum, this time by a 72-31 count at the hands of Vanderbilt.
After the game, MSU players were saying something needed to change.
"Something's going to have to change in practice or personnel or something that's within our system right now, because right now it's just not working for us," junior guard Jalen Steele said. "It keeps backfiring for us."
As far as personnel, there's little relief in sight. MSU (7-19, 2-12 SEC) is playing with six scholarship players as forward Roquez Johnson remains suspended, and so first-year coach Rick Ray is left with a young team that's simply getting tired.
"We don't have any more guys coming in this season, we can't lessen their playing time, and we can't stop the season," Ray said. "So yeah, I believe fatigue is a factor."
MSU shot 17.5 percent from the field, including 2 of 19 (10.5 percent) from 3-point range, and it was pummeled in the rebounding department, 51-17. Vanderbilt (11-15, 5-9) had 20 offensive rebounds to MSU's three. The Bulldogs' four team rebounds were more than any single player had.
Vandy shot 45.9 percent overall and 11 of 31 (35.5 percent) from 3-point range, and Ray lamented his defense's inability to guard high ball screens. The Commodores had 24 second-chance points, while MSU had zero.
This loss was even more discouraging because just three days earlier, State felt it had played very well in a road loss to Alabama.
"So to come out here and play this way against Vanderbilt was disappointing," Ray said. "But our guys get wrapped up in their own shots, and when our shots are not going down, then we just don't do a very good job with the rest of the game."
Steele led MSU with nine points on 2-of-10 shooting.
no help at home
MSU has lost its last six home games by an average of 26.2 points, and that number includes a six-point loss to Texas A&M and a one-point loss to LSU.
The 31 points was MSU's lowest output since the shot clock was instituted for the 1985-86 season. The last time State scored so few points was a 42-31 loss to Alabama in the 1985 SEC Tournament.
This showing was very similar to MSU's previous home game, a 78-36 loss to Missouri. On Saturday, MSU missed its first 10 shots, the first field goal coming at the 8:50 mark on Trivante Bloodman's layup.
State also missed its first dozen 3-point tries, with Bloodman again breaking the drought, at the 17:34 mark of the second half. Vanderbilt answered with a Kedren Johnson 3-pointer to make it 44-20, and the lead kept growing from there.
Vandy entered averaging 59.6 points per game. The Commodores surpassed that at the 8:39 mark.

I Really Need Some Advice With This...
Posted 16 May 2005 - 01:43 PM
My husband has told me that I need to get rid of all of them. Because of the day and age, if HEAVEN FORBID someone would get permission to come into our home and check our computer, we could be arrested for having pictures of naked children!
I am TORN over this, because I NEVER want to even THROW AWAY any photos of my kids, naked or not. I understand his point, but at the same time, who has the right to tell ANY of us how we can photograph our children? Granted, since they are 5 now, I wouldn't plan on taking any more...but the other photos are when they were toddlers? Do they have to go?
What would YOU do...what WILL you do?
What do you think??

While I might go through and get rid of any that shows any "no-no private" spots, I would definately keep those standard naked baby laying on their belly on a rug type shots or shots where the private where obscured.
If you have any shots that you just don't want to get rid of and the no-no spots are in clear view, maybe using the blurring tool might help? Or maybe crop in on their faces?
Posted 16 May 2005 - 02:27 PM
Keep your nekid baby pictures, and stand proud.
If for some LONG SHOT REASON, someone would ever need to check out your computer, then I'm sure they could tell those photos were taken by a mom who loves her kids, not some perv out to do evil. There's a BIG difference!

I think Valerie's suggestion about removing them from the pc is probably a good idea, though. Heaven forbid if someone decided to be a butt (I'm being nice 'cause I have to here), and find a way to use them against you. Reality is, there are a few people messing things up for the rest of us who are just proud parents, trying to enjoy our children. They grow up too fast. You know what your photos mean!

A naked child posed in a sexual position might be. A naked child with a rubber dusky and wet head running around the house, streaking and making you laugh so hard you had to grab the camera? Not child pornography.
If some of them might be too much, crop them and destroy the other parts. But a naked infant or toddler or small child is an innocent thing, and nothing to be ashamed of.
And really, what lesson is that teaching your choldren? That their bodies are shameful and dirty? That even in their own homes, they must be covered at all times and they are not innocent in any way? Not sure you want to teach them that, you know?

When hunting a creek bank or a make shift blind my dog heels on my left side, a much needed command. I can see how terrain could possibly dictate that the dog may need to heel on either side.
When hunting a creek bank or a make shift blind my dog heels on my left side, a much needed command. I can see how terrain could possibly dictate that the dog may need to heel on either side.
Cut 'em
I've driven myself nuts this morning going through my original copies of Lardy Volume I, the reprinted version of Volume I (that just came out), and all of my manuals for TRT 2nd E, TR Marking and even TR E collar conditioning. I can NOT find the detail, in Mike's words to describe 2-sided heeling!
I know I picked up much of what I do today from Mike's stuff. Maybe it is in one of the fireside chats on TRT?
If anyone who has recently gone through the Lardy material can indicate WHERE he goes into detail on the topic, I'd love to know! Please post it or PM me.
I don't know statistically how many serious retriever folks in NA are one-sided versus two. I do know that I enjoy 2-sided.
I have 4 dogs that live in my home and all are 2-sided. Only one runs trials. I am still glad that the other 3 are 2-sided.
When I had one-sided dogs, I can remember occasions where I would try to place the dog in a spot (usually in a duckblind) where he was uncomfortable as I was on the "wrong" side. It would all work out, but not nearly as smooth and quickly as if the dog was just 2-sided already and was therefore quite comfortable being in that spot.
I have found that dogs can be very attuned to where the handler/trainer is, and that can dictate how comfortable they are lining up in a certain position.
Note: there are many, many handlers and dogs, much more successful than many of us 2-sided fans will ever be - who are doing so with a single-sided (usually left) dog.
"A smile relieves a heart that grieves"
- Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
from memory I am sorta thinking it is one of the fireside chats. starting from maybe Dennis asking why a dog was run from the side it was run on during the days work? same chat may go on to the easy start of 2 sides with young dogs.
sound like what you are remembering Chris?
"So what is big is not always the Trout nor the Deer but the chance, the being there. And what is full is not necessarily the creel nor the freezer, but the memory." ~ Aldo Leopold
"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
"Mike, you ran all the dogs from your right side on this setup except for FC/AFC XYAZABD. Why did you run him/her on the left?"
I think Mike responds in there something like:
- FC/AFC XYAZABD came in from another trainer at age X and was trained as a left heeling only dog.
- It is not worth the time/effort to retrain a dog that age, who is already quite capable as a one-sided dog.
- It is relatively simple, when teaching basic puppy obedience to teach left and right heeling simultaneously.
- If a dog is not taught 2-sided at the beginning stages, they are generally not switched over to 2-sided.
But, for some reason, I thought this was also called out in text in Volume I. Apparently I'm mistaken.
It's funny how my mind works. I'd have bet big money that it is detailed in some text - some detail about 2-sided heeling in the Basics/Volume I. Yet all I've found thus far is the flowchart, which clearly states "2-sided" for heeling.
"A smile relieves a heart that grieves"
- Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
For over ten years I've read this "same" thread - "two sided or not". The responses generally range between two descriptions - not necessary....or useful. The rationale for each is often detailed and at times emotional. Since my first retriever training experience required making choices (very often), I decided to go with two-sided heeling and the puppy I had was capable. Either way I was wrong.
There is significant logic that one-sided is better because it is much more complicated to master both sides. The problem is there are two "groups" of experienced, successful trainers to influence the decision. How can a novice dismiss the choice of a skilled trainer (vast experience and repeated success) for either? Frankly, a novice is relegated to a coin flip. After being forced to choose, one can easily justify either choice with established support.
I have my reasons for being two-sided. My pro trainer friend is not...........
Here are a few reasons for my dogs being two sided. First of all, I have four and I often walk them on lead......together. Two on each side is much easier. Two sided gives me a significant control response when doing poison birds. At times there are "things" I'd prefer my dogs not see, so I can enhance the preferable view (by blocking). They are comfortable anywhere (either side in the duck boat) or in field hides. When moving around in a cluttered boat they are adept at moving to either the left or right (as I relocate).
However, the most significant aspect of having a two-sided dog is this skill becomes a tool to emphasize responsiveness......it tends to "demand" that they pay more attention. One of the more significant aspects of retriever training (for me) is having a responsive dog. It took me quite awhile to come to grips with this issue. Focus and control depend a great deal upon how responsive a dog is.
Many do not understand the difference between upland hunting and retriever performance. Each require contrary skills and genetic traits. Being free or under control becomes a balancing act when using a retriever. There is nothing worse than a non-responsive retriever in the uplands. "Freedom" is often disruptive when it dismisses control.
Being two sided just might provide an edge. Then again.......the "other side" will probably disagree.
Flip a coin and then build your justifications.

First volume before Van Engen shows FF he does two sided healing with same dog. It's shot inside of the barn and raining outside.
"Do more than is required of you"
General George S. Patton
Hunting is much different then trialing or hunt testing...Some of the rules you might as well throw out the bathwater WITH the baby. I hunt for pure pleasure, if my dog is reasonably steady, doesn't run in front of the gun, left or right who cares, unless you want to heel on the side you are dominate, right hand shooter vrs left hand shooter. It's kinda like I used to wash my truck all the time after training, now, my dogs don't know if it is dirty or not. Don't wash it all the time. And no I don't have a two sided dog, used to train for both sides years ago found I wasn't smart enough to keep track of what side I should run the dog off of, so I just heel my dog on the left side easier for someone side challenged like me.
Earl Dillow
Being steady for what you want takes a bit more than heel whatever side or Front you want to put up'?
Right and left hand heeling is a process for left and right hand casting (for some that take the definitive art of retrieving ) ....Some may be more than happy with what they have.
Try it with multiple dogs?....and multiple targets on a driven shoot
One Shooter One Spaniel One Retriever
I've probably used the skill more during hunting than at test. Only time I've used whoa is on a horse! I use Heel everytime I hunt no matter what the style of hunting is.

This is a chilling story of a man who was born in a North Korean prison camp. Essentially, the guards there compelled two people to have sex to breed children who would then be "raised" by the guards in an isolated, brutal world.
Do take time to watch the videos. The journalist who (from what I gather wrote Shin's book for/with him) explains that Shin never knew there was anything different from the camp he lived in, since he was born there. And he escaped not for a "noble" pursuit, but because a newcomer to the camp told him that if he could get to China he could have grilled meat. It was this newcomer who also told Shin, for the first time, that the world was round! Shin had never heard of God, so the words love and mercy had no meaning for him. He notes that there were 20,000 people in Camp 14; and there are at least 6 such camps in North Korea. These camps have existed through 3 generations so far; about 12X as long as the Nazi concentration camps.

What is in this article?:
- Sweat the small stuff
- Material
Taking shortcuts in determining hose selection may affect the performance and life of equipment while creating a potentially hazardous situation for machine operators.
Attention to detail is critical when selecting hydraulic hose. Several important considerations that must be addressed when choosing hydraulic hose are:
- Correct size — both ID and length
- Adequate rated working pressure
- Tube stock to accommodate the hydraulic fluid
- Cover stock to resist the environment
- Reinforcement to withstand crushing, pinching, extreme suction, and other forms of abuse
- End connections, recommended for the hose, that are compatible with the fluid and ambient environment
- Temperature of the material conveyed and cleaning temperature used on hose.
Select the right size
Most hydraulic hose is built to conform to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) requirements for size, tolerances, construction and minimum performance characteristics of each major hose type. SAE standard J517 provides general, dimensional and performance specifications for the 100R hose series, which are the most common hoses used in hydraulic systems, Table 1.
Some manufacturers have developed hose products that far exceed the performance and construction requirements of the SAE specifications. These include higher pressure and temperature capability, greater flexibility, and bend radii down to one-half that of SAE standards.
|Table 1: Descriptions of SAE 100R series hose

|1The number designation following the letter R does not identify the number of reinforcement layers, but rather the specific requirements of a type of hose.
When selecting a hose assembly, carefully measure the distance between the two ports of the components. Too long a hose can lead to it being severed or pinched by moving components of equipment. If the hose is too short, pressure contraction may cause it to stretch, leading to shorter service life. (Hose length can change +2%to -4% from fluid pressure cycles.) So allow for possible shortening of the hose during operation by making the hose lengths slightly longer than the actual distance between the two connections.
Hose OD is important when hose routing clamps are used, or when hoses are routed through bulkheads. Check individual hose specification tables for outer diameters in suppliers' catalogs.
Pressure capabilities
Most important in the hose selection process is knowing system pressure, including pressure spikes. Hose working pressure must always be considered greater than or equal to the maximum system pressure because pressure spikes that exceed the published working pressure will shorten hose life. When equipment has been modified to perform special operations, it is not uncommon for unanticipated spikes in hydraulic pressure to occur. As a general rule, apply a generous margin of safety when choosing hose to transmit pressurized hydraulic fluid. Typically, for dynamic hydraulic applications, the minimum burst pressure rating is four times that of the maximum working pressure rating.
It also is important to account for pressure drop that occurs between the inlet of a hydraulic hose and the outlet. The following conditions can affect the amount of pressure drop:
Friction — Fluid rubbing against the inner surface of the hose assembly creates friction. Higher friction increases pressure drop through the hose, as does higher fluid velocity.
Viscosity — If a fluid's viscosity is not correctly matched to the operating temperature range of the hydraulic system, maximum performance and component life will not be achieved.
Fluid temperature — Higher temperatures tend to reduce viscosity of hydraulic fluid. This lower pressure drop through the hose, but can degrade the lubricity of the fluid.
Couplings and adapters — Any change in bore or change in direction (such as with 45° or 90° elbows) can increase the amount of pressure drop.
Hose ID — For a given flow rate, the smaller the hose ID, the higher the fluid velocity. Likewise, for a given hose ID, a higher flow rate increases fluid velocity. As noted above, higher velocities result in greater pressure drop. Therefore, you can minimize pressure drop by specifying a hose with the largest ID that is practical.
Managing pressure drop is important when designing a hydraulic hose assembly that requires a specific output pressure to run equipment efficiently. This means the input pressure to the hose assembly must be equal to the output, plus the amount of pressure drop. For example, if a system requires 4000 psi, and you calculate pressure drop through a hose assembly to be 150 psi, fluid pressure entering the assembly would have to be 4150 psi.
Help in determining pressure drop is available from representatives of hose and coupling manufacturers. Be prepared to describe the type of application, fluid type and viscosity, fluid and ambient temperature, fluid flow rate, hose size and length, routing requirements, government and industry standards being met, and the number and type of fittings.

Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy genius who kidnaps a fairy in order to get her gold. This is the first in a series and is titled Artemis Fowl. Artemis is what every 12 year old boy wants to be. His mom has dementia so he is not hampered by her rules and having to go to school, yet he does miss her and would still like to have her back as his mom. Artemis has a man servant with the last name of Butler who is huge and protects Artemis. The first thing that happens is that Artemis captures a fairy book. With this first chapter we are introduced to Artemis and find out that he has a castle, has a great computer network, that he is always two steps ahead of everyone and that Butler is very strong and dedicated. Artemis uses the knowledge in this fairy book to ambush Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy unit. He holds her hostage and demands a ton of gold. The fairies try to get Holly back but are defeated time after time by Artemis. Root, a commander in the LEPrecon unit decides to send in a dwarf named Mulch. This book is written for a teen age audience. It is heavy into to fairies, dwarfs, goblins, trolls etc. It also has the gassy fart humor that teen age boys enjoy. The drawf can unhinge his jaw and tunnel through dirt. Prior to starting he also opens the back flap of his tunneling pants because what goes in the jaw comes out the other end. He also builds up a tremendous amount of air pressure and he actually is able to use this to incapacitate Butler. This book is full of details about fairy life. This is book one of a series. I got my copy from KPL's digital audio collection but we also have them in hard copy. I look forward to "reading" (having them read to me) the others.

Blend 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot
Production: 1400 Cases
Alcohol: 14.1%
Barrels: 100% French Oak (40% new)
Cellaring: 20 Years
"The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an opaque purple color in addition to a sweet, highly-extracted bouquet of black fruits, coffee, chocolate, cedar, and plum aromas. Silky yet assertive tannin, full body, exceptional concentration and purity, and a dense, layered finish further characterize this wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020."
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Dec 2000
Seavey Vineyard's tenth estate produced Cabernet, the 1999, is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot grapes that came from vines planted on several different locations of the South-facing hillside vineyard, and was harvested during the first three weeks of October 1999. The 1999 has an opaque ruby/purple color, a highly-extracted bouquet of ripe blackberry fruits, bitter chocolate, coffee, vanilla and plum aromas, is dense, layered and full-bodied with exceptional concentration. The wine's silky yet powerful tannins should allow it to age well for at least 20 years. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Harvested at 24 degrees brix, the juice remained in contact with the skins for an average of 21 days and following malolactic fermentation was aged in French oak barrels (40% new oak) and was bottled on May 24, 2001.

Hayden AdamsYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Willowbrook This two-way standout almost single-handedly beat York in Week 3 with two touchdown catches and three interceptions. In a crucial Week 8 win over Addison Trail, which locked up a playoff berth for the Warriors, Adams picked off two more passes and returned one for a touchdown. He finished with 296 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
Jeremy BarnesYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Willowbrook The Warriors had a dangerous offense this year and Barnes was a big part of that. The Warriors' top rusher went for 1,036 yards and six touchdowns this fall.
Dom BattagliaYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Willowbrook The Warriors' leader did a little bit of everything. Battaglia was one of the defense's top playmakers. Offensively, he piled up 686 yards and seven touchdowns as a receiver and ran for 335 yards and six touchdowns. He even quarterbacked the Warriors' playoff game in place of the injured Brian Johnson and had two passing touchdowns on the season.
Joe Borsellino (MVP)YEAR SeniorSCHOOL Montini Whether it was snagging the big first down reception or converting a short yardage play out of the wildcat, Borsellino was Montini's first option when they needed a big play. The wide receiver scored a team-best 19 touchdowns, 14 receiving and five rushing.
Javvion BradleyYEAR SophomoreSCHOOL Addison Trail It takes some context to appreciate Bradley's numbers, 35 receptions for 423 yards and two touchdowns, as a wide receiver for the Blazers. The Blazers run the ball early and often so Bradley produced those numbers with limited opportunities to make plays happen. With two more years of high school ahead of him, Bradley will be one to watch.
Clark BrinkmanYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Immaculate Conception Brinkman was a big-play weapon for the Knights. He averaged 14 yards per carry and more than 20 yards per reception to score five touchdowns this fall. He also was a starter on defense, totaling 33 tackles and an interception as defensive back.
Demetrius CarrYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Immaculate Conception Carr was a vital part of the Knights' offense. The dual-threat quarterback led the team in passing yards (1,062), rushing yards (830), passing touchdowns (13) and rushing touchdowns (11). The IC coaching staff trusted him so much that they allowed Carr to audible at the line of scrimmage if he saw an opening.
Danny D'AngeloYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Immaculate Conception The Knights' primary running back ran for 745 yards and scored eight touchdowns, but he was also a key member to the secondary. D'Angelo shared the team lead with three interceptions and was second with nine pass deflections.
Mark GorogianisYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Montini Gorogianis was Montini's jack-of-all-trades offensively. He was an explosive running quarterback and a reliable receiver. He passed for four touchdowns, rushed for nine and caught four more. His five touchdown master class performance in the quarterfinal win over Marian Catholic (eight carries for 240 yards) is about as good of a game as a player can have.
Andrew HarteYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Montini One of the state's best kickers, Harte showed off his ability in the playoffs, most notably his game-winning kick in the final seconds of the second-round win over Sycamore. Harte made five field goals 40 yards or longer this fall and was 54-for-56 on extra point attempts. He also got to use his big leg as the team's punter.
Tim HipskindYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Immaculate Conception IC's offense was primarily run based, but Hipskind was quarterback Demetrius Carr's favorite target through the air. He only had 17 catches to lead the team, but was always a big-play threat. He totaled 484 yards to average just under 29 yards per reception and scored seven touchdowns.
Brian JohnsonYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Willowbrook Johnson was pivotal to the Warriors' turnaround season from 0-9 to playoff bound. The quarterback passed for 2,187 yards and 17 TDs in the dynamic Willowbrook offense that averaged just under 30 points per game.
Joe KotchYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Glenbard East Kotch managed to put up terrific numbers for the 1-8 Rams. The standout dual-threat quarterback passed for 2,162 yards and 17 touchdowns. He also ran for 613 yards and eight touchdowns.
Mike MadukoYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Montini The Montini offense got most of the attention this season, but Maduko was a standout on the defensive side of the ball. The linebacker led the team with 92 tackles and had three fumble recoveries and an interception.
Adam MuellersYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Immaculate Conception Muellers did a little bit of everything for the Knights. He was second on the team in tackles as a defensive back, second in receptions as a wide receiver and also was IC's kicker and punter. Muellers also picked off two passes.
Jordan PeacockYEAR SeniorSCHOOL York It wasn't a memorable season for York, but Peacock managed to still be productive out of the backfield for the Dukes. Peacock scored eight touchdowns on the season, six on the ground, one receiving and one kickoff return.
Brandon SmithYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Willowbrook Smith gave the Warriors a second option in the backfield and he made the most of his opportunities. He found the end zone six times and rushed for 609 yards.
Dimitri TaylorYEAR SeniorSCHOOL Montini Taylor's quickness and agility was on full display in the Class 5A state final. He scored the game's only touchdowns, both on big plays, and beat multiple defenders in the open field on each of them. Taylor racked up 1,554 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns on the ground to go with three through the air.
Dylan ThompsonYEAR JuniorSCHOOL Montini Thompson shared the Broncos' sack lead with Fred Beaugard with 7.5 on the season. The 6-foot-6 defensive lineman was second on Montini with 72 tackles and forced four fumbles on the season.
Austin WagnerYEAR SeniorSCHOOL York Wagner was a bright spot for the Dukes' offense. Despite getting the most attention from opposing defenses, Wagner was still able to catch eight touchdowns on the year and even threw a pair of flea flickers for scores.

(Michelle Higginbotham / American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 5:39 PM
By Natalie Stewart / American Press
Parishioners at Our Lady of Prompt Succor miss the things that remind them of their faith and devotion, the Rev. Edward Richard said.
A Sulphur man was arrested Dec. 15 for breaking into and vandalizing four churches — including Our Lady of Prompt Succor, where nearly a dozen statues were destroyed with a sledgehammer.
Daniel Wayne Duplechin, accused of destroying the statues, is charged with four felony hate crimes, two charges of simple burglary of a religious building, four charges of simple criminal property damage, simple burglary and resisting an officer. He is being held on $690,000 bond at the Calcasieu Correctional Center.
Richard, church pastor, said an expert appraised the damage at Prompt Succor, but a report has not been finalized with a monetary figure attached to the damage. He said the statues were damaged beyond repair.
Duplechin allegedly broke into Our Lady of Prompt Succor and Our Lady of LaSalette and used a sledgehammer to break multiple statues. Parishioners said some statues were nearly a century old and irreplaceable.
Richard said parishioners miss the statues being in the church and are looking forward to the church "getting back to normal," and that most of the "important" statues, including those of Our Lady of Prompt Succor and St. Peter Claver, will be among the first to be replaced.
"Everyone has been really supportive, and many people want to help us get all of our sacred art restored and back in the church to take the place of what we lost," he said. "Everyone is looking forward to when we can do that. We have had very good support from parishioners who have been generous in supporting our efforts to raise money."
Richard said that until the insurance process is finished, the church will hold on to the statues; later, they will be buried.
Our Lady of LaSalette also had significant damage, with more than 10 statues destroyed.
The Rev. Lawrence Tohler said the cost of the damage is still unknown; the church is awaiting a final insurance report and the "wheels are turning very slowly" during the process.
"We do know that statues like the ones damaged aren't made any more, though, so we won't be able to replace them with the same quality of what we had," he said. "I'm not sure what we are going to do at this point, but we will try and have some of them replaced."
Tohler said some of the statues had minor damage and likely are going to be repaired.
A fundraiser dinner to aid in the replacement of statues at Our Lady of Prompt Succor will be at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 27 in the church hall, 1109 Cypress St. The dinner is being sponsored by Harlequin Steaks and Seafood and Freshko Food Service, and there will be live music.
Nic Hunter, owner of Harlequin Steaks and Seafood, said he attended Our Lady's School for four years and the fond memories he has from them led him to want to help the community recover.
"I have nothing but good memories of that school and that church, and to see something like this happen really affected me," he said. "It hurt me to see something evil happen in a place that I have nothing but good memories of and that has so much positive energy."
Hunter said the event will raise funds to replace statues and show that the church can rise above the destruction that took place.
"It's not only about the money. It's about the community coming together and showing that an event like this isn't going to define the church," he said. "It's to show that one person can't bring this community down or the fellowship that this church has."
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling the church office at 527-5261.
No fundraiser has been set up at Our Lady of LaSalette, Tohler said, but there may be one in the near future.
Duplechin was also accused of breaking out glass doors at Henning United Methodist Church and Sulphur First Baptist Church.
Duplechin was arrested at Our Lady of LaSalette, where an officer had to use a Taser on him to apprehend him after he charged toward an officer with the sledgehammer.
Holly Carter, spokeswoman for the Calcasieu District Attorney's Office, said Duplechin's charges are under review and an arraignment date hasn't been set.

Learn to use a dapping block with punches to make curved, domed surfaces in metal.
Print these instructions
Products Used
Blank or Item to Dap
Tools Used
Dapping Set Block with 8 Punches
1 lb Heavy Brass Hammer
Pro Polish Pads
Gentle taps are recommended. If you hit the punch too hard, you will begin to distort or flatten the blank instead of shaping it.
Step 1
Set the blank or item you want to dap into the depression in the dapping block that best matches the size of the blank. It should rest down inside of the depression.
Step 2
Next pick a dapping punch that is a little smaller than the blank.
Step 3
Use a 1lb brass or household hammer and gently tap the punch.
Step 4
Continue tapping the punch several times, rotating the punch from left to right and front to back to get an even dap.
Step 5
The blank should be completely formed to the depression in the dapping block.
Step 6
Your blank is now dapped with a convex side and a concaved side. Use a Pro Polish pad to polish the blank.
Step 7
If you want to make the dapped blank more concaved, move it to the next smaller depression in the dapping block.
Step 8
Repeat steps 3 through 6 with a smaller punch.

Lucky Friday Mine back in business
MULLAN, Idaho - Hecla Mining Company reported Tuesday that the Lucky Friday Mine, shut down since January 2012, has resumed operations and production.
Operations resumed at the mine on Feb. 14.
"Production levels are expected to ramp up during the first half of the year, and we expect to reach normal production levels by mid-year," said Hecla president and CEO Phil Baker. "For the full year 2013, silver production from Lucky Friday is projected at approximately two million ounces."
The mine was shut down last year when the federal government ordered cleanup and safety improvements to be made to the mine.
In 2011, two miners were killed while working at the mine. Larry Marek, 53, was killed in a collapse and Brandon Gray, 26, was killed when safety equipment fell. A rock burst also injured seven miners.
Following an inspection by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the mine was shut down for 40 days. MSHA said loose material in the mine could break free and trigger an avalanche inside the silver shaft. Lucky Friday tried to fix it, but when mine officials reassessed the mine, they said the modifications were not enough.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration ordered Lucky Friday Mine to close down until several safety regulations could be met. Hecla estimated the mine would be shut down for a year, leaving approximately 200 Silver Valley workers unemployed since January 2012.Hecla: Lucky Friday Mine is back in operation
Hecla has hired 300 people and 90-percent of those workers put out of work with the mine's closure were hired back. All employees received safety and accident prevention training, designed to improve safe work practices.
Work crews have completed a bypass drift around the area impacted by a rock burst in December 2011, Hecla said. Ground support has also been upgraded for about 7 miles of underground workings.
"We believe the mine is in better condition today than in any time of its history," Baker said. "This is a mine that will be operating, we think, for decades to come."
Baker also said during the press conference he doesn't believe the company should've done anything differently in 2011.
"There's nothing we've done in 2011, that I would with the foresight that we had at the time, have done any differently," Baker said, adding that not a single manager has been fired since the incidents of 2011.
The company doesn't have estimates of how much money the company lost, but Hecla officials said that if you calculate an average of 3 million ounces of silver mined a year, at $30 an ounce, that would equal $90 million in lost revenue while the mine was shut down. He also said the zinc and lead Hecla produces would bump that number up to roughly $135 million.

Couples can be premarital, marital, same sex, transgender, lesbian or gay. Couples can be sexually involved, emotionally involved, or both. I love working with couples of all types! There are many themes that occur with couples that can cause problems, such as money, power, sexuality, children (if there are any), in-laws/family, friends, values, etc. I am experienced in working with couples of all kinds and helping you create better communication and intimacy. When you are in therapy, you will feel heard and respected in a way that you may not be able to feel without a facilitator.

Couples, married or not, seek therapy for many reasons; including hoping to resolve differences, hoping to improve communication, and/or hoping to improve their intimate relationship.

Many times, it is difficult to find a balance within the marital unit. Often times, each individual is unable to recognize or understand the other, and as such, conflict often occurs. Couples therapy allows a safe environment for both members to feel respected and heard. Emphasis is placed on helping to identify needs and expectations of one another and work toward achieving goals of the individual and the couple in session.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don't agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

When two people decide to join their lives together, it can be a new beginning for them. New beginnings are hopeful but can also be disappointing, depending on one's expectations. Couples Counseling can help you to learn about your significant other's reasons for their behavior and expectations. Therapy helps to foster compassion for the other person's perspective. This understanding and empathy can reduce hostility and help open one's mind to learning tools that can help improve the relationship. Improving your communication skills and conflict resolution skills can help you to reduce tension and conflicts within your relationship.

|Zak Bagans and the boys, ready to beat the SHIT outta Casper.
If you have ever seen ghost hunting shows such as "Ghost Adventures" (or "Ghost Douchebags" as my brother-in-law likes to call it), the chiseled toolbags occasionally capture an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) in which, seemingly out of nowhere, a choppy mess of static is picked up on a voice recorder.
The EVPs are pretty cool, but are they really the voices of ghosts?
