Fast National ratings for Wednesday, March 12, 2014.
Things are way closer than they used to be on Wednesday nights. CBS' "Survivor: Cagayan" spent a rare week ahead of "American Idol" in all measures and helped CBS claim overall victory for the night, while "Idol" still edged out "Criminal Minds" among young viewers, leaving FOX with a slim key demo win.
There's a catch for CBS' numbers, though. The network had ACC and SEC basketball preemptions and delays in that 8 p.m. hour. Given the closeness of both the overall and key demo ratings, it's entirely possible that FOX and "Idol" could come out on top when Nationals come in.
[UPDATE: In Final figures, "Survivor" dropped a hair and fell below "Idol" overall. "Survivor" still had the advantage in the 18-49, but that tiny overall drop for CBS let FOX win the night overall as well.]
Among other notables, "Modern Family" continued to be Wednesday's top show among young viewers, while "Mixology" continued to lose more than half of its lead-in, even if it isn't taking big week-to-week drops.
On to the numbers…
Among adults 18-49, FOX averaged a 2.4 rating for Wednesday night, edging out the 2.3 rating for CBS in the key demographic. [The two networks were tied for their common hours.] ABC was third with a 1.8 key demo rating, followed by NBC's 1.5 key demo rating. The CW averaged a 0.3 key demo rating for an evening of repeats.
Overall, though, CBS averaged an estimated 10.19 million viewers and a 6.4 rating/11 share, nipping FOX's 6.2/10 and 10.11 million viewers for Wednesday primetime. There was a big drop to ABC's 3.7/6 and 5.92 million viewers and to NBC's 3.7/6 and 5.6 million viewers. The CW averaged 945,000 viewers and a 0.7/1.
8 p.m. – "Survivor: Cagayan" started primetime in first for CBS with 9.86 million viewers and a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49, though remember the possibility that these numbers may shift. FOX's "American Idol" was second with 9.57 million viewers and with a 2.3 key demo rating. ABC was third with "The Middle" (7.17 million viewers and a 1.9 key demo rating) and a big drop to "Suburgatory" (5.175 million viewers and a 1.4 key demo rating). NBC's "Revolution" averaged 4.69 million viewers and a 1.3 key demo rating, in line with last week and far ahead of the 1.2 million viewers and 0.4 key demo rating for The CW's "Arrow" repeat.
9 p.m. – CBS maintained first overall in the 9 p.m. hour with 10.72 million viewers for "Criminal Minds," which finished third with a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49. FOX's "American Idol" rose to 10.65 million viewers and an hour-winning 2.5 key demo rating. ABC was third overall for the hour and second in the key demo with "Modern Family" (9.08 million and a 3.3 key demo rating) and "Mixology" (4.22 million and a 1.5 key demo rating). NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" averaged 6.25 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo rating in fourth (obviously moving up to third in the 9:30 half-hour). The CW's "Tomorrow People" repeat averaged 694,000 viewers and a 0.2 key demo rating.
10 p.m. – "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" won the 10 p.m. hour for CBS with 10 million viewers and a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49. NBC was second with 5.85 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo rating, in front of the 4.93 million viewers and 1.4 key demo rating for ABC's "Nashville."
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

Darren told me he thought the three pitches went at .10a, .10c, and .10a. My partner and I both thought the start of the second pitch was quite a bit harder than .10c (neither of us got it clean), but it's possible we just didn't find the "trick".
Darren originally thought the second pitch start would go at .12 something, but said he and his partner found a heel-hook and pocket that made it much easier. I tried various heel hooks but none of them worked for me.
My partner finally made it to the second bolt and clipped it, and then led the rest of the pitch. I didn't even manage the start clean while following, but now that I know where certain holds are I think I probably will be able to get it clean next time. However, unless I'm really missing something, I think it's harder than .10c (but keep in mind that I'm a weak and pitiful climber). Ask Darren at MountainWorks for the beta.

What a fun, challenging, multi-pitch route! The upper two pitches are the best.
P1 - A little loose, but still good climbing.
P2 - There is some excitement getting from the first to the second bolt, especially with all that air beneath you! It took all the power I could muster, but I'm not that strong. The business isn't over though so don't get too pumped! Shake out and look for good edges to be found with some cool moves.
P3 - The exposure is stellar, and the climbing is a blast. The crux is probably just below and getting over the small roof close to the top.
What a kick!!!

Stellar. What more is there to say? Everyone should do this.
P1 - Dirty but nothing pulled off. When I go up there next time (and there definitely will be a next time), I will try and reserve some time to do some additional clean up. The opening moves are a little tricky but straightforward easy climbing from there.
P2 - I got the beta from DK but still could not do it the way he said. Kip figured out a way but it involved a crappy match which was pretty hard to do. I would like to get up there again and try a figure a better way or try out the more ways to implement the beta. We might have made the move a little harder than it needed to be but I didn't think it was any harder than .10d (but I am terrible at suggesting ratings).
P3 - Since my endurance is crap right now, I started getting a little desperate at the top where it gets steeper. The exposure is awesome! I found a rest but then realized that I had to move back right to where the bolt was. Big jugs the rest of the way.
One of the great parts about this climb was the belay stations were great!

I finally got back and did this cleanly. I still didn't find Darren's mythical heel hook, but the way I managed it did seem mid-to-hard-10-ish (although it required a dynamic moveif I miss, I fall).
However, if you don't know where the holds are (and the key one for me isn't visible from the ground), .10c will seem like a cruel joke.

Really fun route. Great location and exposure! Ok first pitch, sweet second and third. I DID get a heel hook on the second pitch when clipping the first bolt. The "sucker pockets" (Perin's words) were actually what got me through the crux on the second pitch... Second and third pitches were supremely pumpy! Very cool top out, too.
As a side note, this route for some reason doesn't register with the search function here on the site (doesn't work for me, anyway...). Go ahead, try searching for it!

Agree with Tristan with his assessment. The pockets that Perin mentions seemed like the most obvious way to go and felt about right for the grade. Plenty of holds for the hands although the feet were a bit less than huge.
Starting off the ledge past bolt 2 on pitch 2 was really annoying for me. The hand-holds on were on the left and the feet were on the right. Really helped out the pump factor. If it had not been for the juggyness of the second half of pitch two, I would've been in trouble.
Pitch 3 was pretty darn incredible. The crux comes right at the end getting to a little roof. Tristan went far left but I tried to go straight up, it was there but not as obvious/juggy as I would've liked. The big exposure really added a sweet touch!
All in all though, a great effort by DK!

|This is one of my favorite routes on bad bananas. Even the first pitch was pretty clean. Nothing was loose or sketchy. The start of Pitch 2 was really hard to me, but after getting above it, the rest of the route is mostly jugs up beautiful rock. I really liked this one.

|I belayed Eric Mercer on the second pitch and watched him do it clean. It was stunning. He said he pulled a very hard match (I tried and couldn't make it happen) to make the move. I had to pull hard with my right hand close to the first bolt after moving my feet a little higher to move my left hand on to the top hold where Eric matched, then move my right hand high right. Very tough. Never found the secret hold and heel hook talked about previously. Thins out a little in the middle of pitch two. Pitch three has a nice little roof to get around. I was hoping, just for the sake of safety and my own sense of security, for an anchor at the bottom of pitch two. It starts just far enough away from the top of pitch one that an anchor would be nice. The belay is on a very nice sized, even large, ledge so it's not necessary, but I could see some bad news if someone lost balance or something. Overall fun.

My daughter lost her upper central incisor
i like to know , if ther is someting wrong w/ my dougther tooth. she lost the two uper central incisors 3 months ago and they are not growing back.
Depending on the age of your daughter, it may or may not be a problem. If your daughter is 7 years old or younger, it can be normal for upper central incisors to come in months after the baby teeth are lost. If your daughter lost her baby teeth early (younger than 7 years of age) due to an injury or infection, it often takes longer. If your daughter is older than 7, she should be seen by a dentist to check for problems that could delay the eruption of her teeth.

Thanks for the interest...be careful what you ask for...Nah, just kidding.
In '64, Bruce threw down the gauntlet at the Long Beach arena. Challenged any blackbelt of any style. He said that he could beat us. Shortly after that time, we heard that Bruce had opened a school in L.A. Chinatown. I was already a black belt in jiujitsu and I was a shodan in Kempo (Ed Parker style)...but our instructor was a tournament type of guy so I got into it because of the heavy sparring ...eventually, I lost the reality based jiujitsu...old style no mats, no tap outs.
I was heavily into ippon sparring. Score by one hit and I forgot it was a game,not real fighting, but I was having fun and I was getting trophies for the school. I even came close to "beating" guys like Chuck Norris, Mike Stone, etc...Big Deal. In my school, I was considered to be one of the fastest guys around.
So when Bruce said at Long Beach, all our "sparring" wasn't real...we were chomping at the bit to prove to him or anyone in his school that we would "kick ass."
Finally, we had our chance. He was only letting in black belts because there were too many challenges. We set up an appointment, four of us would go.
The way we did it was cross hands(like you saw in "Enter the Dragon." We didn't realize we were playing his game, because we didn't know much about trapping.
So when it was my turn, my lead hand came near his hand...I was ready to block his lead hand and follow up with a rear hand punch from the hip...when BOOM! I was hit right in the cleft of my chin, right below the lower lip...I was knocked out and I was standing in place, Well, actually, I was leaning a little against the wall. My friend standing behind me, grabbed me by the shoulders and asked if i was okay.
Bruce was so fast that no one saw what he did. Even though, I had just experienced it, I had no idea what he had done.
The next black belt in line was really tournament experienced and he was knocked out just as quickly.
The other two black belts that I came with were also street wise and they changed tactics to be dispatched almost as quickly.
We were notorious "borrowers" at our school. We saw techniques, got back to the dojo and could reproduce the technique and the beginning and ending parts of it. None of us could figure Bruce's technique out. Mainly because it was so simple.
Watch "Enter the Dragon" when he fights the guy with the scar on his face (Bob Wall). The rear hand traps the elbow or forearm of the opponent, leaving that person open to Bruce's lead hand punch.
Bruce had that notorious "one inch" punch down perfect so when he hit you with a punch from one inch away, he packed a lot of power.
One of these days, I'll write about how I really embarrassed myself in front of Bruce and Chuck Norris.
Anyway...keep on training...we spend our whole life, getting ready.

In 1986, when Heller was composing Picture This, which he originally entitled Poetics, he remarked that his manuscript was "becoming a book about money and war." Although clearly an oversimplification, his statement nevertheless does identify two of the novel's predominant concerns.
Money references pervade the narrative as Heller chronicles consumerism from the invention of money by the Lydians in the seventh century before Christ to the rise of banks and corporations in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century and then to the entrepreneurial maneuverings of Cornelius Vanderbilt and J. P. Morgan in the nineteenth century. Heller's exploration of capitalism centers most strongly, however, upon Rembrandt, whose financial rise and fall parallels the economic fate of the Dutch Republic.
As Heller portrays him, Rembrandt is embroiled in a seemingly endless series of financial woes concerning his wife's dowry, inheritance, and will, the high cost of real estate, collecting and paying debts, compensation from his patrons, his ex-mistress's demand for maintenance payments, and the shifting prices of his art works. With such difficulties it is no wonder that the artist explains that his figures have sad faces because they are worried about money.
The primary consequence of the invention of money, Heller wryly reminds us, is servitude: "With the invention of money in the seventh century before Christ, people became free, like Rembrandt, to borrow at interest and go into...

GILGIT, April 23: The government has decided to stop the ongoing operation against outlaws in remote valleys of Tangir and Darel after getting assurance from the local people that they would help police nab the culprits.
The Minister for Health Haji Gul Bar told Dawn on Tuesday that the decision to halt the action was taken at a high level meeting at Chilas. He said the administration had decided to withdraw troops from two valleys after the local community assured of cooperation.
He said during the recent operation more than 60 outlaws had been arrested after assassination of a senior police officer.
He disclosed that the meeting was also attended by the Inspector General of Police Usman Zakria, Home Secretary Attaullah, and members of the Diamer jirga. The Jirga assured that they would make all out efforts to arrest the outlaws, he added.
Meanwhile, the health minister ordered action against those doctors who have been absenting from duty.

Deakin University researcher Olga Kartachova, from the Institute for Technology Research and Innovation on the Waurn Ponds Campus, recently took out the Peoples' Choice award at the final of the Three Minute Thesis competition. This is an edited version of her presentation.
Some time ago I bought a Smartphone and I was very disappointed to see how quickly the battery goes flat compared to my old phone, which people now call "the brick".
We need a better way to store and use the energy. This can be achieved by developing better lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors.
The difference between the two is that batteries store more energy but supercapacitors are more powerful, so they are often used together in many applications, from toys to hybrid cars.
However, these devices still have many safety and performance problems due to their active materials. Now imagine the future phone that will not only work longer, but will have enough power to send an SMS from the middle of the desert by burst transmissions.
To make this a reality, we need new electrode materials and that's what I am working on. They should be safe, cheap and efficient. One class of materials seem to have great potential. They are inorganic compounds with a boring name but amazing properties-transition, metal nitrides.
In supercapacitors, I was looking for electrode materials with a high surface area, because that's where the electrochemical magic happens! By using nanotechnology, I was able to make nitrides with porous, or a sponge-like structure, which have the same surface area as a tennis court in only one tea spoon of powder.
I accidently made a further improvement, when I produced a nitride sample just before the Christmas break and lef for the holidays.
When I came back and tested it, it worked surprisingly well, which was not the case with the freshly made material. When I was away, the large surface of those porous nitride particles reacted with the air and got covered with a shell of interesting oxidized compounds, which store even more energy. My next task is to identify and consistently reproduce them.
The target is to make those nitrides store 5-10 times more energy than today's electrode materials. Just imagine, with those nitrides, you could use your laptop continuously on the plane from Melbourne to Paris and back without a single recharge!
My work gives me hope that in the future, when my car breaks down in the middle of the desert I could always use my phone to call for help.

From the book about Wabasha Co. Minnesota
Compiled by Dr. L. H. Bunnell
Published Chicago by H. H. Hill, Publishers, 1884
Republished Currently by
Higginson Books
Minnesota was organized as a territory in March, 1849. By the organic act the judicial power of the territory was rested in a supreme court, district courts, probate courts and courts of justice of the peace.
The territory was divided into three judicial districts, and one of the supreme judges assigned to each district, and the three acting together formed the supreme court of the state.
The judges appointed by the president, and comprising the supreme court in 1856, were William H. Welch, chief justice; Moses Sherburne and A. J. Chatfield, associate justices.
Wabasha county formed part of the first judicial district, and the Hon. William H. Welch, residing at Red Wing, was assigned to the first district, and held the position of district judge for said district until superseded by the election of the Hon. Thomas Wilson as district judge under the state constitution in 1858.
Although Wabasha county is one of the oldest counties in the state, it was not organized for judicial purposes until the winter of 1856; prior to that time it was attached first to Washington and then to Goodhue counties for judicial purposes.
In the winter of 1854 the village of Wabasha was designated, by legislative enactment, as the county seat of Wabasha county. Alexis Bailly was chosen the first justice of the peace of the county, and an effort made to establish law and order.
It is related that Augustine Rocque, an old half-breed Indian trader, then residing at Wabasha, learning of the appointment of Alex Bailly as justice of the peace, called his numerous progeny around him and admonished them that it now stood them in hand to be on their good behavior, "for," said he, "the law has come, and Alexis Bailly is the law."
The first term of the district court for the county was held in what was known as H. S. Allen & Co's warehouse, in the spring of 1856, Hon. William H. Welch presiding; S. L. Campbell, clerk; Blois S. Hurd, sheriff; and Thomas Wilson, of Winona, district attorney. No business of importance was transacted. The bar of the county was John McKee, J. W. Tyson and S. L. Campbell. No grand or petit jurors were in attendance, and after hearing a few motions and granting a few naturalization papers, court adjourned. At the next term of the district court there was a full attendance of jurors. Seventeen indictments were found, all of which were dismissed for irregularity, much to the disgust of the then district attorney, Samuel Cole, and J. W. Tyson, acting as county attorney.
Alexis Bailly applied for admission to the bar as a qualified attorney, but failed to pass an examination. He was subsequently admitted at St. Paul. Being asked by one of the attorneys of the county how he managed to pass an examination, he replied that he had a bottle of champagne under each arm and two in his pockets, and nary question asked by the committee.
J. A. Criswell succeeded Alexis Bailly in the administration of the law, and was the principal judicial officer of the county, until it was organized for judicial purposes. Although his education was limited, he was an excellent judge of the law, having held the office of justice of the peace in Michigan and Minnesota for over twenty years. Seldom was one of his decisions reversed. He was a man of iron will and strong physical ability, which well fitted him for a frontier justice of the peace. The following incident will illustrate his manner of administering justice. At one time one of the leading physicians was before him, charged with an assault and battery upon one John Murray. During the trial the contestants engaged in a fisticuff, in which the learned justice immediately took a hand, sending each of the combatants to his respective corner. Saying as he did so, "I fine you twenty dollars each for fighting in my court, and you will pay it before you leave the room, or I will lick hell out of you." The doctor soon produced the twenty dollars, but Murray could only find ten dollars. Criswell very generously remitted the balance, saying, "The fine goes to the poor, and I would like to see any one poorer than I am," as he chinked the money into his pocket.
The first attorneys to settle in the county and open offices were Frank Clark and John McKee, men whose characters were diametrically the opposite of each other. John McKee was open, frank, and generous to a fault; the other was shrewd, cunning and dishonest. He was arrested in the winter of 1855 for stealing and mutilating the county records, but succeeded in escaping from the officer who had him in charge, and fled the state. He subsequently abandoned the profession and opened up a doctor shop in Chicago as a specialist of bad repute.
In 1858, Minnesota, having adopted a constitution, was admitted as a state, and the Hon. Thomas Wilson, of Winona, was elected district judge, and held the position until he was appointed chief justice of the supreme court of the state in 1864.
The first term of the district court for Wabasha county, under the state organization, was held in what was then known as Hurd's Hall, in Wabasha, in the fall of 1858, Hon. Thos. Willson, presiding; S. A. Kemp, clerk; John W. Tyson, district attorney; R. M. Piner, sheriff; Wm. J. Jacobs, foreman of the grand jury. There was quite a strong bar present: John N. Murdoch, John McKee, John W. Tyson and S. L. Campbell, resident attorneys of the county, with quite a number of foreign attorneys in attendance. Among the most noted of these were Hon. William Windom (late United States senator) and Gen. Berry, of Winona, J. W. Brisbin, of St. Paul. Quite a number of civil causes were tried, ~ none of note, however. Seventeen indictments were found by the grand jury, all of which were quashed on motion for informalities in the drawing of the indictments, much to the chagrin and disgust of the county attorney, J. W. Tyson. Judge Wilson, on being elected to the supreme bench, was succeeded by the Hon. Lloyd Barber, of Rochester, who held the position for one term (being succeeded by hon. C. N. Waterman in the fall of 1872), and died February 18, 1873. He held two terms of court in Wabasha county, and presided at the trial of Hicks, Stacks and Farrell for the murder of one Elliott. This was one of the most exciting trials ever held in the county, and lasted for and during thirty-two days. W. W. Scott, of Lake City, then county attorney, assisted by the Hon. Thomas Wilson, of Winona, prosecuted these cases, and the Hon. S. L. Campbell, of Wabasha, conducted the defenses, assisted in the case of Stacks by Gov. Gorman, of St. Paul, on the trial of Hicks by L. S. Flint, Esq., of St. Paul, and on the trial of Farrell by the John Stewart, of Wabasha. Strenuous efforts were made by the prosecution to obtain a verdict with the penalty of death attached, while the defense put forth their utmost endeavors to save the parties from hanging. The result of these trials was the finding of Stacks and Hicks guilty of murder in the first degree without the death penalty being attached, while in the case of Farrell it was guilty with the death penalty attached. The former two were duly sentenced to the state's prison for life, and sentence of "death" was passed upon the latter, but by the efforts of his counsel and others, his sentence was afterward commuted to imprisonment for life by Gov. Austin. The following is a brief summary of the facts attending the murder as appeared upon the trial. On the day of the murder one William Fitzgerald had drawn, as back payt and bounty money for services as volunteer soldier in the late rebellion, about seven hundred dollars. This he, during the day, had unguardedly exhibited in the saloons, especially to Patrick Stacks, who was a boon companion and was drinking with him. Stacks conceived the idea and laid his plans to rob Fitzgerald that night, and persuaded Hicks and Farrell to join him in his nefarious enterprise. Their plan was to visit the house in which Fitzgerald boarded, and which was occupied by one Nicholas Wagner, being situated directly opposite the cemetery between Wabash and Read's Landing. Stacks was to spy out the location and situation, Hicks was to enter Fitzgerald's bedroom after he had retired and abstract the money, while Farrell was to stand on guard, and if need be to play the bully and bruiser. One Edward Elliott, a thin, spare man, in feeble health, boarded at the same house with Fitzgerald. Between one and two o'clock that night, he had occasion to step outdoors and was seized by Stacks, who put a pistol to his head, caught him by the throat and threw him on the ground, when one of the three jumped upon him. Another called out, it is not our man, do not hurt him. Another said, dead men tell no tales. Supposing Elliott to be dead, they carried him across the road and threw him into the cemetery. Reviving, he crawled on his hands and knees to a house about a quarter of a mile distant, and was able to arouse the inmates, and was by them taken in and cared for. He survived his injuries about three days, giving the facts, as to what took place at the time of the assault, in his dying declarations, although he was unable to recognize any one of his assailants. The inhabitants of Wabasha and Read's Landing were highly incensed at the crime, and strong efforts were made, and large rewards offered, by the county for the arrest of the murderers. Geo. Young, then Marshall of Read's Landing, was successful in striking the trail; and, by ingratiating himself into Farrell's good opinion, whom he found in jail in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and assisting him to regain his liberty, was able to get a statement of the facts in the matter from him, and to Young is due the credit of bringing all three of the murderers to justice.
Patrick Stacks was one of the most noted desperadoes of the upper Mississippi valley. On his way from Wabasha to the state's prison, in charge of the sheriff and deputies, and handcuffed to his mate, besides being otherwise heavily ironed, they jumped from the deck of a steamboat, while it was in motion, into the Mississippi river , and succeeded in swimming to an island, on which they were several days afterward recaptured in a half-famished condition, being unable to separate themselves or remove their irons without tools, or escape to the mainland by swimming, until they were removed. He afterward made several attempts to escape from the state's prison, in one of which he was successful, being again retaken after reaching the mountains in Nebraska, through the betrayal of his identity by an associate for the reward offered for him. Again he was incarcerated in the prison, and soon afterward put an end to his miserable existence by poison mysteriously procured. Before he died, but while on his deathbed, he made a declaration in which he stated that Farrell did all he could to save Elliott from harm. Influenced by Stack's confession and by the good record of Farrell while in state's prison, through the exertions of S. L. Campbell, of Wabasha, and other, Gov. Hubbard was induced to extend to him pardon after eleven years' imprisonment. Since his release he has conducted himself in an upright manner and is well liked by his employers. Hicks still remains in prison. Nothing shows the fallibility of juries and human tribunals more than the result of these trials. During their progress, and from the time of the arrest until final judgment it was the almost universal opinions that Farrell was the most guilty of the three. At the present time it is unanimously conceded that Farrell not only was not guilty of the murder, but that he did all he could to prevent it.
The Hon. John VanDyke, of Wabasha, was appointed district judge to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the Hon. C. N. Waterman, and held the position until the next general election, when the Hon. William Mitchell was unanimously chosen by the people to fill the position and held the same until 1881, when he was appointed to the supreme bench of the State of Minnesota, and the Hon. C. N. Start, of Rochester, was appointed in his place, and now performs the duties of the office to the entire satisfaction of the bar and people, having been unanimously elected in November, 1881, for a full term.
Wabasha and the village of Reads are both situated near the mouth of the Chippewa river, where its waters help to swell the tide of the "Father of Waters." Large quantities of lumber are annually floated in small rafts down the Chippewa river and along the banks of the Mississippi, near the mouth of the Chippewa are coupled or joined into larger rafts for floating down the Mississippi to St. Louis and other points. Consequently a large number of "floating population" congregated at these points in former years seeking employment in transporting lumber, as heretofore designated. Very many of this class of men were persons of bad repute ~ thieves, gamblers and drunkards; hence there has been a vast amount of criminal business in the county, and only a few years ago Wabasha had the unenviable reputation of having had more murders committed within its borders than any other county in the state; but of late years the lumber has been towed by tugs or steamboats and required but few raftsmen, that class having greatly diminished, and in fact have almost entirely disappeared, and with them the criminal calendar.
Another source of litigation in former years was caused by the fact that nearly the entire Sioux half-breed reservation is located within the county and located with Sioux half-breed scrip, much of which belonged to minors. Titles to land could in such cases only be obtained through the uncertainties of a probate court, the practice in which was formerly quite unsettled; but while there has been frequent and persistent attempts to disturb the titles to such lands in the county, courts and juries have almost invariably ignored technicalities and sustained the titles.
For a number of years quite a strife existed between Lake City and Wabasha for the county seat of Wabasha county. In the winter of 1860 an act was passed to remove the county seat from Wabasha to Lake City, provided such removal should be sustained by a vote of the people. A vote was taken and the returns showed a majority against such removal. Lake City not being satisfied with the returns commenced proceedings to test the legality of the vote in the courts. Hon. Thomas Wilson, then district judge, declared the law under which it was taken to be unconstitutional, and this ended the matter for that time.
Lake City still being dissatisfied, a bill was introduced and passed the legislature in 1868, again submitting the same question to a vote of the people. This time the blood of both places was up (as one may say) and they used their utmost endeavors to win. Every town in the county was thoroughly canvassed pro and con, and rivalry was a white heat. The returns again showed a majority in favor of Wabasha. Lake City again appealed to the courts, and after a protracted investigation in the district court, before the Hon. Lloyd Barbour, he rendered a decision in favor of Lake City. Wabasha appealed to the supreme court and the decision of the district court was reversed wholly on technical grounds. One remarkable feature of this investigation was, that while the census showed that Lake City and Wabasha each had a population of about two thousand people, the returns showed that Lake City had cast two thousand and thirteen votes; the City of Wabasha, four thousand and fifty-two votes. Judge Barbour, at the next term of the district court for this county , instructed the grand jury that the statutes made it their duty to inquire into all irregularities and violations in and of the election laws, and if there was fraudulent voting it was their duty to indict all parties guilty thereof. For, said he, "On the purity of the ballot-box rests the foundation of our republic." The grand jury failed to bring indictments, and on his admonishing them that they must have failed in their duty, was coolly informed by the foreman that Wabasha county could not afford to send half of her best citizens to the penitentiary.
S. L. Campbell was appointed in January, 1856, the first clerk of the district court of Wabasha county, and held the office until the admission of the state into the Union. In October, 1857, S. A. Kemp was elected clerk under the new organization, and held the office till 1861. N. F. Webb was his successor, and held the office for one term. Charles J. Stauff was elected in 1869, and is the present efficient clerk, and likely to hold the position so long as he may desire to do so, as he has been twice re-elected by the almost unanimous vote of the people, and discharges his duties to the entire satisfaction of bench and bar.
H. P. Wilson was elected probate judge in 1856; his successor was George F. Childs, elected in 1857, and held the office one year, when B. C. Baldwin, of Lake City, was elected and held the office for two years. A. Z. Putnam was his successor, elected in the fall of 1859, and held the office for four years. G. C. Dawley filled the office in 1864-5. E. Lathrop was elected in 1866. M. A. Fuller was his successor, and held the office for four years. A. Z. Putnam was again elected as his successor, and held the office one term. J. F. Pope was elected in 1874, and held for two terms; he was succeeded by F. J. Collier, of Wabasha, who held the office for one term and was succeeded by A. Z. Putnam, who was for the fourth time elected to the office in 1879. F. J. Collier was again elected in the fall of 1883, and is now the present incumbent.
The Hon. Thomas Wilson was district attorney in 1856, succeeded by Samuel Cole, of Winona county, who held the office until the organization of the state. In the fall of 1857 John W. Tyson was elected county attorney, and was succeeded by S. L. Campbell, who held the office one term and resigned; he was succeeded by John B. Davis, who held the office for two years and was again elected in 1865. J. D. Jacquith was elected in 1863, holding the office till 1865. W. W. Scott was elected county attorney in the fall of 1866, and 1870, holding the office for one term, and was succeeded by J. H. Hahn; elected in the fall of 1872, holding the office three terms. George H. Matchin was elected in 1878, C. H. Benedict in 1880, and John McGovern in 1882, and is the present incumbent.
At the first election held in Wabasha county, at the residence of Augustine Rocque, in what is now the city of Wabasha, on the 11th day of October, 1853, Levi Murphy was elected sheriff. He having failed to qualify, the board of county commissioners, on the 13th of March, 1854, appointed Dr. F. H. Milligan sheriff of the county, and he gave bonds and entered upon the duties of his office. In the fall of that year Amos Wheeler was elected sheriff of the county; he was succeeded in 1856 by Blois S. Hurd, who resigned his office and R. M. Piner was appointed to fill the vacancy, and was elected at the next general election and held the office till January, 1860. H. W. Butts was his successor, holding the office for one term. Wm. B. Lutz was sheriff in 1862-3; his successor was H. H. Slayton, who held the office for two terms. S. H. Smith succeeded him and held the office two terms. William Box was elected in the fall of 1867, his successor was L. M. Gregg, who held the office for two terms, and was succeeded by the present incumbent, Henry Burkhardt, who was elected in 1881 and re-elected in the fall of 1883.

Breast Reduction and Fibroadenomas
Breast reduction surgery is extremely safe and life changing for many patients. Most patients will report immediate relief from the chronic neck, shoulder and back pain caused by large, poorly supported breasts. Patients are able to engage more easily in all forms of sports activity thus improving their sense of well being and their overall health. Fibroadenomas are not a contraindication and in fact your surgeon may be able to remove them at the time of surgery.
Fibroadenomas and breast reduction
Fibroadenomas are fairly common and a patient with them can certainly have a breast reduction if they want.

Breast fibroadenomas and Breast Reduction
Breast fibroadenomas are extremely common and most young women have them. We routinely perform Breast Reduction surgery on women who have fibroadenomas. All the breast tissue removed is sent to Pathology which further examines it, looking for occult malignancies. As a personal preference, I usually get a baseline mammogram on all my breast reduction patients to serve as a guide in the future of what the breasts used to look like.

Interview with San Jose State hockey coach Ron Glasow
San Jose State hockey coach Ron Glasow was nice enough to take a few questions about his team. Make sure to visit the official website SJSUhockey.com, and click here for more information on opening night against CAL this Saturday [8PM, at Logitech Ice].
[Q] How long have you been coaching this SJSU team?
[RG] I have been coaching SJSU since its first season in 1991.
[Q] Who are some of the SJSU players fans should keep an eye on this season [Jon Barney was the player that jumped out at me the most last year].
[RG] Players to watch are Jon Barney for his open ice hits. Ray Kellam for his speed and intensity on the ice. Mason Nave for his creativity with the puck.
[Q] How does the schedule look this year and which games stand out? Who is the biggest SJSU rival?
[RG] This years schedule is the toughest we have ever had. Out of 29 games there will only be two that we should have no problem with. Every other game will be a war, and will be won by the team that makes the least mistakes. The competition gets stronger every year. Our biggest rivals are probably USC and Cal.
[Q] What goals does the SJSU team have for this season?
[RG] Our goal this season is to finish first in the Western Region of the ACHA. The top 4 go to Nationals in Detroit in March. There are over 20 teams in the West. We plan to make it to Detroit.
[Q] Last question, what would you tell Sharks fans who come to an SJSU game for the first time, to see hockey with the NHL locked out? How is the game different or similar to hockey they may have seen at the SJ arena? I noticed a lot more hitting when I watched a game last year.
[RG] I think fans will be very surprised at the quality and speed of the College game. We dont use the center red line like they do in the NHL, and that helps open up the game a little more. The hitting is hard and the competition is there, so it becomes very entertaining for the fans.
I honestly believe our games are more entertaining today than the pro game. The pro game is so structured and systematic that the creativity has been taken out of it. Our games obviously have more mistakes, but that makes for more goals and more action. You have to see this hockey to know what I'm talking about.
And I would add that the college crowds, and the college music in the background also make for a very entertaining atmosphere. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions.
It would be nice if someone from the Sharks organization, and a Sharks player or two still in the San Jose area, came out for SJSU's first game of the season. The NHL lockout may last a year, but showing support for the fans and local hockey would go a long way.
[Update] To Russia with trepidation - Toronto Star.
[Update2] Adieu Monteal. I guess revenue sharing was not the answer.
[Update3] The Cleveland Barons training camp is underway. The official Cleveland website has a review of the first day of camp, a roster of those attending, and more on Sharks Assistant Coach Tim Hunter instructing Glenn Olson and Jonathan Tremblay on hockey pugilism.

Johannesburg, Oct 5 (ANI): New Zealand coach Mike Hesson has said that they are prepared to face a strong spin assault from Bangladeshi bowlers during their first Test series in the country after five years.
The last time New Zealand played Tests in Bangladesh in 2008, they won 1-0 following a three-wicket win in Chittagong, which is also the venue of the first match starting on Wednesday.
According to Sport24, Hesson insisted that they are not underestimating the Bangladesh side even though they won against them in 2008 as they are aware that the hosts are a tough side, although he added that the key to their success on the tour this time would be their ability to play spin and strike with the new ball to control the opposing batsmen.
Hesson further said that his team face a lot of spin every time they tour the sub-continent, adding that although spinners are going to take a lot of wickets because they bowl 90 per cent of the overs, New Zealand batsmen would be prepared as they have gained extensive experience in this regard.
Hesson also said he hoped that the tourists will deliver through their seam bowlers, who were fast learning the art of reverse-swing that could play a big role on the slow, abrasive pitches in Bangladesh.
New Zealand's Test squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Dean Brownlie, Peter Fulton, Mark Gillespie, Tom Latham, Bruce Martin, Hamish Rutherford, Ish Sodhi, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson. (ANI)

Mexican investigators have found a 40-yard (meter) tunnel that inmates chiseled underneath a prison in the northern city of Chihuahua in an apparent effort to escape.
State prosecutors' spokesman Carlos Gonzalez says the 30-inch (76-centimeter) diameter tunnel was lit and almost finished with just 16 feet (4.8 meters) left before reaching the desert outside.
Gonzalez told The Associated Press Friday that up to 250 of the 1,800 inmates housed at the medium-security penitentiary on state charges could have escaped through the underground passageway.
He says it took between two and 2 1/2 years to build the underground passage using chisels and a sledgehammer.
Agents also found an AK-47 rifle inside the tunnel.

/Town Crier Fallen Leaf Lane neighborhood resident Ross Lappin points out the public land where many homeowners have built out their properties over several decades. Residents oppose an encroaching trail alignment.
A group of Fallen Leaf Lane residents say no thanks to the possibility that the regional Stevens Creek Trail would connect through their neighborhood.
Seven Fallen Leaf Lane Neighborhood Association (FLLNA) members asked the Los Altos City Council in March to oppose a proposal to connect the trail through their street – one of several options under consideration in the Stevens Creek Trail Joint Cities Feasibility Study.
The ongoing study is a collaborative effort between residents and city staffers from Los Altos, Mountain View, Cupertino and Sunnyvale, which serves as the lead agency. Since November, the four-city group has hosted public input meetings to gather suggestions for trail alignments along the creek's corridor to connect the trail between Mountain View and Cupertino. Each of the city's councils will vote on the final draft of the feasibility study, expected in January.
A seat at the table
The FLLNA argued that connecting the trail through Fallen Leaf Lane would dramatically change the neighborhood's characteristics, according to its statement. The group also presented a petition to the city council, signed by more than 280 neighborhood residents, opposing the Fallen Leaf trail alignment option.
Contacted by the Town Crier, FLLNA President Michael Eiger said that while the group isn't against the idea of a trail connection through Los Altos in general, placing it on Fallen Leaf Lane would require "a major reconfiguration of the street."
"We're not opposed to a trail," said Eiger, who along with his neighbors formed the neighborhood association in February. "Our position and platform is to promote the vibrant, semi-rural neighborhood we have. … We're really focused for now on people directly impacted by (a potential) trail."
Eiger noted that one option through Fallen Leaf Lane would call on the city to reclaim 18 feet of public right-of-way (9 feet on each side) of the current 42-foot-wide, 1.1-mile stretch of road. Over the course of several decades, Eiger noted, those areas have been built up with landscaping, retaining walls, residential fences, numerous driveways and more.
Should the decision ultimately be made to construct a multiuse trail on Fallen Leaf Lane, he added, a worst-case scenario could negatively affect property values and result in the loss of on-street parking, shortening up to 97 driveways and removing as many as 200 trees.
"If they take out 18 feet, it'll dramatically change our street," Eiger said.
He referenced a 2008 trail feasibility study commissioned by Los Altos, which suggested a preferred Class I trail alignment that connects to Cupertino by winding along Fremont Avenue, Grant Road and Foothill Expressway. The current study, he noted, is being conducted with the constraint of restricting alignment options close to the Stevens Creek Corridor, making a trail connection through residential streets like Fallen Leaf necessary.
"That constraint throws out the 2008 study and that concerns us," said Eiger, who added that the options under consideration would directly conflict with the city's general plan. "What we're saying is, let's look at all options and let's not throw out good decisions we've already made."
Eiger added that he simply wants the group to "have a seat at the table" in the feasibility study's process.
"We're looking for dialogue and we don't feel we've gotten that," he said. "We want rational, logical, deliverable choices. … What we want is a transparent process."
City official pleads patience
Los Altos City Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins told the Town Crier that while she understands the group's position, any concerns about trail alignments affecting their neighborhood might be premature.
"We're not even close," she said. "I do sympathize (with FLLNA), but I also say, there's a process we bought into. You have to work through that process."
According to Bruins, the city's representative on a four-member policy working group for the feasibility study, there are "no preconceived notions at all" that a connecting trail would end up along Fallen Leaf Lane. Bruins added that she's met with association members on the matter and the idea of removing trees and altering residents' driveways – if Fallen Leaf were ultimately chosen as a trail connection route – wouldn't be a desirable one for city officials or members of the policy working group.
"They would be hard-pressed to find anyone to support that," she said. "We're in a due-diligence process (with the feasibility study). That's all this is."
Bruins, a south Los Altos resident who lives near Fallen Leaf Lane, noted that this month is pivotal for the study. A consultant hired by the four-city group was slated to present a report Monday (past the Town Crier's press deadline) outlining which trail connections the public would support. Those results, the outcome of work at previous public input meetings, could serve as a driver for the study's future steps, she said.
"We're at a critical juncture as to whether the current options we've been examining are viable or whether it's time to look at a next set of alternatives," Bruins said.
She concluded that the group's concerns – as well as those of other residents potentially affected by a future trail – are being factored into the study's big picture.
"Right now, patience is what's in order," Bruins said. "But I do empathize with them. They deserve to be heard and they are being heard."

Erdogan says WWI massacre of Armenians 'shared pain'
By Burak Akinci Thursday, April 24, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
ANKARA, Turkey--Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday offered condolences over the massacre of Armenians almost 100 years ago, describing the events of World War I as "our shared pain."
Erdogan's statement, on the eve of the 99th anniversary of the start of mass deportations of Armenians in 1915, is the first such overt comment by a Turkish leader over the killings, considered by many as the first genocide of the 20th century.
He acknowledged that the events of 1915 had "inhumane consequences" but also said it was "inadmissible" for the events to be used as an excuse today for hostility against Turkey.
"The incidents of the First World War are our shared pain," said Erdogan in what Turkish media described as an unexpected statement that was issued in several languages including Armenian.
Armenia has been trying to get Turkey to recognize the killings of up to 1.5 million people under the Ottoman empire as genocide.
But Turkey says 500,000 died of fighting and starvation during World War I and categorically rejects the term "genocide."
"Millions of people of all religions and ethnicities lost their lives in the First World War," Erdogan said. "Having experienced events which had inhumane consequences — such as relocation — during the First World War, should not prevent Turks and Armenians from establishing compassion and mutually humane attitudes among towards one another."
'Remember the losses'
"It is our hope and belief that the peoples of an ancient and unique geography, who share similar customs and manners will be able to talk to each other about the past with maturity and to remember together their losses in a decent manner.
"And it is with this hope and belief that we wish that the Armenians who lost their lives in the context of the early 20th century rest in peace, and we convey our condolences to their grandchildren," he added.
The arrest and massacre of 2,000 Armenian leaders began in Istanbul on April 24, 1915, and in less than a year hundreds of thousands were forcibly displaced, their possessions seized and many killed.
A century on the killings still fuel bitter controversy, often upsetting relations between Turkey and the West.
But there have been gradual signs of change in Turkey, with Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu last year calling the events of 1915-16 a "mistake" and an "inhuman act" during a trip to the Armenian capital Yerevan.
"It is indisputable that the last years of the Ottoman Empire were a difficult period, full of suffering for Turkish, Kurdish, Arab, Armenian and millions of other Ottoman citizens, regardless of their religion or ethnic origin," Erdogan's statement said.
"Nevertheless, using the events of 1915 as an excuse for hostility against Turkey and turning this issue into a matter of political conflict is inadmissible," he added.

On 23 April iTWire reported 'Apple returns 8 million iPhones to the manufacturer' and we speculated that its policy had perhaps been a tad generous. I am sure Foxconn as manufacturer would have had a very public hissy fit being forced to take back phones that may not have had a manufacturers fault.
According to Apple Insider "The way it is now if almost anything is wrong the entire device is exchanged for a like-new remanufactured device… Now we are starting to actually repair the products and return the same device to the customer".
Apple stores have basic tools now to replace speakers, receivers, home buttons, vibrator and battery. Within months they will be able to replace displays, camera, sleep/wake button and logic boards as well. Employees will have a suite of diagnostics tools to remotely access hardware allowing for quicker turnaround times.
While many consumers will consider this a retrograde step to lose the 'walk in and walk out with another' they have to remember that it is a basic manufacturer's right to do this and they have been perhaps spoilt during Apple's rapid growth heyday. Also in moving repairs back to the store they make it easier for non-warranty repairs (read another revenue stream) to be done by Apple instead of the growing number of shopping centre based kiosks offering variable service and often no pedigree on parts.
Apple are also rumoured to be changing its paid AppleCare service to a subscription model – it seems the world is moving to smaller digestible chunks instead of prepaid. The only issue is that the AppleCare will be linked to a consumer, not a device so it can't be on sold. Selling services and extended warranty is a sure fire way to make money (another revenue stream).
Apple is very good at after sales in-warranty support, something that most other smart phone/tablet makers are not. Subject only to available staff visits to their Genius Bars will remain free.

Pilot for Axed Spin-off THE FARM to Air During 'Office' Final Season
TVLine.com reports that the pilot episode of the now defunct spin-off The Farm, starring Rainn Wilson, will air during the final season of NBC's 'The Office.'
According to The Office's Greg Daniels, the pilot is a "very good episode" and confirmed the news that it will air sometime before the season finale of the long-running NBC comedy. "We're not going to air exactly what it was, because it has certain aspects that were appropriate for a pilot of a new show," he explains. "We're going to shoot a little additional material to make it fit into the season more."
The new comedy would have featurEd Wilson's character Dwight Schrute as a farmer outside of Scranton, PA. Previous episodes of the hit NBC comedy have depicted Schrute's family background as beet farmers who manage a bed & breakfast in the outskirts of the city.

Stay World Class… Reuse Your Glass!
Beginning January 1, 2016, the University of Michigan must temporarily suspend the collection of glass for recycling. Glass recycling markets in this area have been depressed for a number of years and have now shutdown. The U-M Waste Reduction & Recycling Office (WRRO) is actively seeking out alternative markets and uses for discarded glass and will communicate to campus when glass is again acceptable for recycling.
In the meantime, campus community members can help by:
- Don't generate waste glass. Avoid purchasing beverages and other foods, like salsa, peanut butter and jam, in glass containers.
- Reuse your glass. Glass bottles and jars can be easily cleaned and
used to store all sorts of things:
- Candy
- Salad
- Spaghetti
- Overnight oats
- Paper clips
- Your collection of fortunes from fortune cookies
- Toothbrushes
- If you can't do any of the above, please place your glass in the trash, not recycling.

Ensure mangoes are ripe before you pick them
If you're lucky enough to have a mango tree, leave the fruit on the tree to mature, otherwise it won't ripen properly. To check for maturity, pick a large one growing in the sun and cut through it lengthwise. The flesh around the seed should be turning yellow. Mangoes the same size or larger are probably also mature and can be picked to take indoors to ripen. It will take several days for them to sweeten up.
Try to spray when the sun don't shine
Avoid applying pesticides in the heat of the day. The heat can combine with some chemicals to burn your plants. Best time to apply: late afternoon to early evening on an overcast day when no rain is forecast. Avoid breezy days, when the chemicals can drift onto other plants or onto the gardener. Most pesticides are absorbed readily through the skin and allergic reactions may be delayed for several hours.
Get to know the trees you meet
The Arbor Day Foundation is offering a new, easier-to-use tree identification guidebook. What Tree Is That? offers advanced, hand-drawn botanical illustrations of distinctive characteristics of many tree species, in full color, with natural colors, shapes and textures. Send your name, address and $5 for each copy to What Tree Is That?, Arbor Day Foundation, Nebraska City, NE 68410. Or order online at www.arborday.org.
No welcome mat out for Bufo toads
Watch out for the poisonous Bufo toad, which is reappearing in our area now that the summer rains are here. The toads' venom can cause cardiac arrest in pets, leading to death in as little as 15 minutes. Bufos, also known as cane toads, giant toads or marine toads, are gray, brownish-gray, olive-brown, red-brown or yellowish and vary from 4 to 9 inches in length. Adults make dark, moist crevices in dry ground and like to eat pet food left outdoors.
Your garden can pose for a calendar
Your photo of your yard, garden, landscaping, trees, or a local park, sports field or golf course could find its way onto a fundraising calendar. Project EverGreen seeks amateur photographers' images for its 2009 Because Green Matters calendar. Visit projectevergreen.com to fill in an entry form and upload photos. Those whose photos are selected will receive a $100 gift certificate to a national gardening retailer. Project EverGreen is a nonprofit group that represents "green industry" service providers and suppliers, i.e., landscapers, lawn services, fertilizer and pest-control companies. Calendar sales benefit its outreach programs.

Stitchin', Bitchin' and Secret Super Powers
Super Stitching greetings to you
We've gone a bit super hero and mythical mad this week. But the real heroes are those of you that have signed up for our growing Race for Life team. For people who have sponsored us so far, we thank you most kindly for your support. If you would like to sponsor us to knit whilst running/walking 5k please click here and be rewarded with virtual cake, warm fuzzy feelings and almost-free patterns.
At the last few meeting we packed out the Clarence pub where we ate Birthday cake to celebrate Emmy-Lou's age update and laughed out heads off about the evil Knitty baby. New stitchers joined us, taught us a little Japanese and a good time was had by all.
Stitch and Sew Many FOs!
Details of the next meeting:
Go on, admit it – there's at least one project hiding away in the corner/cupboard/bottom of your knitting bag that's almost finished, but for the minor detail of one last seam to sew, a few ends to weave in or some buttons to attach. In the spirit of spring cleaning, why not bring it along and join us for a sewing-up session? Where better to celebrate your newest finally-finished object!
TUESDAY 31ST MARCH Time: From 6pm Venue: The Royal Festival Hall (Ground floor. Look for the knitters. You'll find us) Address: South Bank Centre Belvedere Road London SE1 8XX
Stitch and More Pecan Pie Please
Details of the meeting after that:
Join us for yummy (and surprisingly healthy) food at one of our favourite venues. If the weather is warm enough, you might even find us sitting outside!
WEDNESDAY 8TH APRIL Time: From 6pm Venue: Leon at Spitalfields Market 3 Crispin Place London E1 6DW
Stitch and in the Market for Some Knitting
THURSDAY 16TH April Time: From 6pm Venue: The Crusting Pipe 27 The Market Covent Garden London WC2E 8RD
Stitch and BLAM! THOCK! KAPOW!
Ever fancied yourself a bit of a stitching avenger? Lurking in the shadows awaiting criminals to make their move so you can leap out with your sticks of justice and yarn garrotte of just desserts? Sometimes wear your knitted pants over your trousers and run around singing your own theme music?
Superheroes in Action, 13 knitted super suits created by Mark Newport, lurks somewhere in Bloomfield Hills at Cranbrook Art Museum. Apparently they are "studies in contradictions, visual representations of one man's exploration of how we are told masculinity should manifest itself." To us they're wicked-cool knitted supersuits.
Still hungry for more villain-vanquishing powers? Then get your supergeek on with Handknit Heroes, the first ever graphic novel for knitters. Check out their UK suppliers for how to get your filthy paws on a copy.
Don't expect smooshy cute comicness either. These knitting superheroes pack their fair share of sass. As the website FAQs state:
"Some of the characters swear! I don't want my kid reading those words!
First, your kid probably knows those words already and uses them when texting all the time. Wouldn't it be nice if she also learned how to spell them correctly?"
Stitch and The Unicorn Quest
Hear ye, hear ye! A quest had been born. A quest for you yarn pilgrims to follow to the world's end in search of the illusive Unicorn.
Our good friends at Fyberspates and the Natural Dye Studio have created a custom sock/4 ply yarn, with a unique and very luxurious blend of fibers, the content of which is which is a secret! This very special yarn is simply called the Unicorn and will not be available anywhere else. Your quest is to decipher the fibers in the yarn through a series of 9 clues given over the next 9 months starting on April 1st.
To get your clues you have to buy a skein of yarn each month for £14.99 (4-5 skeins from The Natural Dye Studio and 4-5 skeins from Fyberspates over the 9 months). You do not have to pay up front for the yarn and so there is no obligation to stay in the quest if you decided to turn back on the road to fiber enlightenment. Each skein will have a clue attached.
There will be 9 difficult clues over the next 9 months and in order to enter the prize draw, you have to have complete and send back your 9 clue labels with the correct answers filled in. Help with your clues is available from other participants on the Ravelry board.
With your correct answers, not only will you have eternal glory, but you will also be entered into a draw, where you can win a whole kilo of the very special Unicorn yarn dyed in the colour of your choice. There will also be several runners up prizes to be announced nearer the time.
The true identity of the Unicorn will be revealed next January when the competition winners are announced. Read all the details and sign up for the quest here.
Stitch and Book
So you're a reader and a knitter. The two sides of you are at constant war. Papercuts and yarnknots all over the place.
You sit there with a little knitting devil on one shoulder and a little book-waving angel on the other. Should you cosy up with a good book? Should you launch yourself headlong into a few more rows of ribbing? Is it possible to prop your book up with your cup of tea and read while you attempt that brain-melting lace pattern?
In the haze of all this Stitch and Book was born. Though Stitch and Book can't help you choose between the knit and the word, what we can help you with is:
Stitch and Book is an online book group based on Ravelry. If you're not a Raveller (we're shocked and disgusted at you for being so out of the loop!) then sign up to Ravelry to join the page-flavoured madness. Feel free to discuss the books at real life S&B meetings too if you like.
All the Stitch and Book rules can be found at the group online. Ask one of your friendly neighbourhood Bookettes (a couple who may seem familiar) if you feel lost.
Voting for Book the First lasts till Wednesday the 1st of April. Hop along to the group and find out which books are up for voting or see our Stitch and Book blog for more details.
It's about people who knit who love books and reading. We're the best kind of people really. Join us. Go on.
Stitch and Cookie A Comes to Town
As we've gone sock crazy at S&B London we thought we'd throw in a mention to the fabulous hand knit sock designer Cookie A, who is having her UK book launch for her new book Sock Innovation at Loop this weekend. So why not go along and meet Cookie herself, see samples of her gorgeous socks and get 10% off her book this weekend?
SUNDAY 5TH APRIL Time: 4pm - 6pm Venue: Loop 41 Cross Street Islington, London N1 2BB
The event is free but please ring Loop on 020 7288 1160 to RSVP.
That's about it for this week. We hope any of you that went along to the Goat Race this weekend had a great time and that that the best goat did win in the end.
Keep your eye on the blog and twitter for events that come in too thick and fast to make it into the newsletter and be sure to drop in on a meeting if you fancy a knit and natter.
The S&B London Stitchettes x email@example.com www.stitchandbitchlondon.co.uk
S&B London promise not to share your email address with anyone, not even if they ask us nicely and offer us sweet, sweet cake or cashmere. S&B London is a non- profit group and we do all this for no payment in our spare time, so please be patient if we make mistakes.

OK, then NumPy should throw an exception if you try to make the assignemnt. I tried it out. NumPy does the right thing in this case: In [10]: A = numpy.zeros([3, 3]) In [11]: A[1, 1] = 1+2j --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Traceback (most recent call last) /fs/home/sdb/<ipython console> in <module>() <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: can't convert complex to float; use abs(z) However, not in this case: In [12]: B = 10*numpy.random.rand(3, 3) + 1j*numpy.random.rand(3, 3) In [13]: B[1, 1] Out[13]: (7.15013107181+0.383220559014j) In [14]: A[1, 1] = B[1, 1] In [15]: So the bug is that assignment doesn't do value checking in every case. > How could it be > a fixed chunk of memory and do such things, unless it would > always waste enough memory to hold the biggest possible > subsequent data type? Fair question. Matlab does a realloc if you assign complex values to an initially real array. It can take a long time if your matrices are large.

Another year, another 15 percent tuition hike for Florida universities
Two years ago, Florida created a pursuit policy for all state universities: Catch up with the national average for tuition — but at speeds no faster than 15 percent a year.
With maximum increases ever since, the chase is on. This year looks no different, with both the House and Senate assuming 15 percent tuition hikes.
But Florida universities remain on average the third cheapest in the country. And with state university budgets going down nearly 25 percent over the same time, some wonder how long the state can go after a moving target.

Finnish Pair Wins World Wife Carrying Championship
Subscribe to News Radio 710 KEEL on
A Finnish couple has narrowly won the 19th Wife Carrying World Championships, a nearly 300 yard race in which men try to be the fastest while carrying a female teammate.
Ville Parviainen and Janette Oksman cleared the grueling 250 meter meter obstacle course in 64 seconds on Saturday, less than a second ahead of Britain's Rich Blake Smith and Anna Marguerite Smith.
The rules stipulate that the woman must be over 17 years of age and weigh at least 108 pounds. Despite the event's name couples don't have to be married, and organizers say male contestants could 'borrow a neighbor's wife' if they didn't have a female companion.
As in previous years, the winners were rewarded with their wife's weight in beer.

explain reported speech by giving examples
Follow the mentioned link to understand the concept of reported speech:
Various rules to convert direct into reported speech are:
A simple present becomes a simple past;
A present continuous becomes a past continuous;
A present perfect becomes a past perfect.
The 'shall' of the Future tense is changed into 'should'.
The 'will' of the Future tense is changed into 'would' or 'should'.
The pronouns of the Direct speech are changed wherever necessary, so that their relations with the reporter and his hearer, rather than with the original speaker, are indicated.
Words expressing nearness in time or place are generally changed into words expressing distance. For instance, now becomes then, ago becomes before, tomorrow becomes the nest day and last night becomes the night before.
The tenses may not change if the statement is still relevant or if it is a universal truth.
This conversation is already closed by Expert
Indirect Speech (also referred to as 'reported speech') refers to a sentence reporting what someone has said. It is almost always used in spoken English.
For example:

INVESTMENT portfolios tend to be built around expectations of inflation - which figures show is falling faster than expected.
Too much inflation is bad, but moderate price rises favour shares over gilts or bonds. Few people expect prices to fall, other than temporarily. But some recent indications suggest deflation is now a risk.
How should investors react to the possibility of a radically different environment?
Loading article content
Few seem prepared for the change. Indeed, the suggestion of deflation might seem surprising when the UK economy is growing strongly.
Unemployment is also falling sharply, and there is now much less spare capacity in the economy to keep the lid on prices. Yet, there are worrying signals.
The most recent Bank of England quarterly report on inflation showed that wage growth has hit its lowest level on record. Average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, are up just 0.6 per cent over the last year. The European Central Bank's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices has gained just 0.4 per cent over the past year, compared to a 2 per cent target.
Self-employment, low paid jobs, and the willingness of older workers to accept lower pay, suggest wage pressures are now muted. The 14 per cent rise in the pound from its lows of early 2013 has also been a factor, as has intense supermarket competition. Discount retailing chains have moved mainstream, with additional deflationary pressure coming from the established major food retailers as they re-engineer business models.
But, the most worrying trends are in continental Europe. Not only are some peripheral countries now experiencing deflation, but investors have this month driven German ten year government bond yields down to 1 per cent.
This is putting a high value on safety and suggests little fear of inflation.
It also means that institutional investors may see little risk in holding cash deposits, given how little pick-up in income they would get from secure bonds. A recent survey suggested that investors are holding much higher levels of cash than normal.
The challenge of running a business in a deflationary sector has hit the big retail groups.
Tesco's shares now offer a high but risky dividend yield. It may now be tempting for companies such as Tesco and Morrisons to cut dividends to assist restructuring. While shares offer attractive dividend income, the risk of dividend cuts increases with deflation.
When headlines feature rising house prices, it is easy to dismiss the thought of deflation. But pockets of rising prices can live within a generalised deflationary environment. Indeed, increasing prices for essentials such as housing, adds to the downward pressure on spending in other areas.
It is these mixed signals that keep investors off guard. Many of the official statistics point to the deflation story, but the concept itself is so alien that it is dismissed by most commentators, policymakers and central banks.
In the deflation of the 1930s, gilts and monetary assets such as deposits did well. Savers collected a real return just by sitting on cash. And the countries that tried to break out of the deflationary spiral by leaving the gold standard were the first to recover. But in the eurozone, it is hard for member countries to break free from Germany's deflationary policies.
For investors, the deflation risk may initially be helpful. It increases the likelihood of strong stimulation and money printing.
But it may bring further competitive devaluations and dividend cuts, and even a break-up of the euro. It would be a new environment for most investors; the best protection may be a balanced portfolio, including bonds and shares.
