With their zest for both adventure and food and their laugh-out-loud capacity for fun, the Hairy Bikers make a very entertaining pair, travelling on their motorbikes to the ends of the earth in search of great meals to bring home to their friends.

Funny, endearing and down-to-earth, they will very easily find a place in the nation's hearts.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Some residents in Hancock County are on alert after a string of recent break-ins.
There have been four daytime break-ins in Liberty Township, just outside the Findlay city limits.
The Hancock County Sheriff's Office says they happened on Thursday and Friday of last week in the Hillcrest Subdivision. They said whoever is responsible is causing a lot of damage, just stealing jewelry and whatever else they can quickly take.
"Definitely concerning," said Eric Forsith, a resident in the neighborhood. "This is a quiet neighborhood, nicer neighborhood, so having people come in from the inside or outside to do something like that is definitely something to keep your eyes open for."
Forsith said he believes the neighborhood is a target for thieves because it is close to the highway and there's been a lot of construction inside the subdivision, making it difficult to tell who should be working on houses and who shouldn't.
"From a criminal's standpoint, when everybody's working their 9-5, which seems to be most of the people in this kind of neighborhood, they're probably looking for no confrontation and an easy in, easy out," he said.
Forsith also said the best way to keep the area safe is for neighbors to watch for anything suspicious.
"We always keep our eyes open in the neighborhood and make sure we're always looking for the unknown," he said.
Anyone with information on the break-ins is asked to contact the Hancock County Sheriff's Office at 419-424-7097.

Review submitted: July 1, 2014 Date of arrival: June 20, 2014
I booked this villa a while back and there were virtually no reviews on the sites about it, so really had little to go on outside of 1 review and the photos, which looked great, but as you know these can sometimes be misleading. In reality these photos didn't do any justice to how amazingly beautiful and well situated this villa actually is, the 1 review was excellent and was completely accurate.
We had a very large group, ranging from young children (5 years) to grandparents (80's) and everyone commented on how amazingly well suited the accommodation was for everyone involved. You literally walked across a short (and well kept) lawn onto a private beach, and although we were all together there was never a sense of being on top of each other.
The staff were excellent, and I must thank Jose and Omar in particular for making our trip as good as it was. We had some reservations over the set-up with the food initially, as we needed to get the staff to buy groceries and then cook, but this was completely unfounded; the food was excellent, reasonably priced and extremely well cooked, with a good variety to keep everyone happy.
There are a range of activities in the area; horse riding, scuba, trip to the waterfalls, zip lining, kite surfing, fishing, etc. so loads there for active groups like ourselves, but equally you could just relax all day in the villa and pool.
Las Terrenas town is only a short drive away, and there are a number of good quality restaurants and bars, and around the corner (and in walking distance from the Villa along the beach) there are a number of other restaurants and bars available as well. It's definitely worth a walk (or drive) down to Louis's around the corner where you will get the best Pina Colada we've ever tasted!
This was truthfully one of the best holidays we have had in years and I would highly recommend both this villa and the Dominican Republic in general.

Marvelous Experience
Review submitted: March 12, 2014 Date of arrival: February 16, 2014
Our stay at your villa was a marvelous experience. It was beyond our expectations. The beauty of the villa and the beach took our breath away each day. The pool, pool table, ping pong table and other amenities were used daily. The hospitality and helpfulness of the staff was greatly appreciated.. The meals were delicious and enjoyed by all, even the children. It was an experience we will always remember.

Review submitted: September 8, 2013 Date of arrival: August 17, 2013
We enjoyed the Villa for a 50th Anniversary party. Our party of 28 ranged from 6yrs of age to 80+. The place was everything it stated and more. The staff was there to greet us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The Villa is beautiful and spacious. It never felt at all crowded. The entire week kids played on the beach and the pool and we never had to worry, the place is completely safe. No one ever felt boxed in or that people were getting in each others way. There are plenty of areas for people to relax and enjoy on their own as well as large meeting areas. The cleaning staff seems to work in stealth mode - the place is always clean and you never see them. The chef/bartender are excellent, you just tell them what you want and they make it happen, we decided on menus together and they made delicious meals. They also did two wonderful parties for us (anniversary beach bash, final night dinner), each one had it's own flair and was even better than a restaurant event. We had a pizza night with pizza's from their wood burning oven. This place has it all and I will probably not go to a large resort again as this has spoiled our entire party. The privacy is there, with all the amenities. You don't have to deal with crowds and the gorgeous sandy beach is a 30 sec walk across the front lawn. We had a great volleyball game on the beach. Each of our party had a blast and the consensus was that it was a vacation of a lifetime. The Villa is stunning and offers everything you could want. A trip to El Limon falls is definitely worth doing, it is difficult to get to so be sure you are ready for a strenuous walk and horse ride but the falls are beautiful and the swimming is like a beautiful grotto. You will not be disappointed and you can book with confidence - the place is better than it shows online. You don't have to worry about being duped or oversold and under delivered. The booking process is straight forward and Olivia and Martine are wonderful and easy to deal with. The weather was very good - a little hot at times but the scenery makes up for it. It rained often but only for a very short time. We made some absolutely wonderful memories and this Villa was the starting point.

The best trip/house vacation we have ever taken.
Review submitted: February 5, 2013 Date of arrival: January 24, 2013
Expect to be Blown out! this house is amazing, for once I can say that the house far exceeded my imagination or vision based on the pictures. This gets a 10/10 in al categories. from the service, the chef and food (absolutely amazing, we had seafood, pallea, pasta, steak all with his own unique touch and flavor) to the house, to the unbelievable beach/scenery.
The only thing i will say is, try to fly in to Semana airport (20-30min away). we flew in to santa domingo, and the drive was awful (2 hours!).
Overall, I would definitely come back, and would highly recommend this house.

A Week in Paradise!
Review submitted: September 1, 2012 Date of arrival: June 28, 2012
We spent a week at Villa Del Mar with family and friends. We had 20 friends and family members ranging in ages 8-75 and everyone had an amazing time. The staff at the Villa made the whole week delightful and memorable. Olivia was very helpful in making arrangements for our stay and making sure everything ran smoothly. The entire staff were amazing hosts. They were very helpful in getting us whatever we needed at any time. We've stayed at many 5 star resorts around the world and have never received the attention and care that these fine people provided. We would go back in a minute just to visit our new friends. We miss them already! The Villa is incredibly beautiful, but also comfortable and welcoming. With a gorgeous pool, beach and game room - we were never short on activities. All the rooms are beautiful and very well appointed and they all come with their own bathroom. The villa is located directly on Playa Coson! It is an incredible beach just outside your door step. You can wake up and run for miles on this beautiful unspoiled beach. It is also very safe for children of all ages. The villa is a bit out of town and we had a blast getting around the area with the ATV's that we rented. The food was amazing - Ronal is a star in the making and was happy to make whatever we asked for. We also had a great dinner at the Ocean Grill restaurant just a short walk down the beach. It was an incredible week and we are already planning our return visit!

Absolutely Amazing
Review submitted: January 16, 2012 Date of arrival: January 6, 2012
If you are reading this then the question on your mind is probable: is this place for real? I'd like to assure you that the answer is an enthusiastic YES.
- the photos posted of the house here actually fail to do it justice -- every one of my 25 guests agreed it was even better than advertised. The beach, the grass, the pool, the tub, the living area, the rooms. Amazing.
- The staff were even more exceptional than the house. They were always a step ahead of the guests in cleaning, setting out snacks or arranging drinks, and chef Jose is AMAZING -- honestly, the food he cooked for us at home was much better than the restaurants we ate at.
- The location is great, private and safe but very close to Las Terrenas and lots of great tourist activities.
- I'm out of characters, it is just amazing...
- The floor in the house is wildly unsafe when wet, and with the open floor plan and the pool right there it is basically always wet. My mother fell and hit her head quite hard on a pillar.
- The day I arrived the staff approached me and asked for $350 more than the negotiated contract for someone to stay late and clean. I think it was a totally fair request but I was disappointed it wasn't handled in the contract beforehand.
- We had at least a partial power outage every day and twice we had extended total outages. This was partly expected, of course, but it happened more frequently in this house than anyplace else on the island in our 2 week stay.
- We also had a water outage and spent a whole day carrying buckets of water from the pool to the toilets to keep them working. This was disappointing.
- Pre-trip communication was difficult. The owners/managers can be slow to respond over email and hard to talk to on the phone in english. We had trouble getting directions to the house, for example, and someone had to spend a day trying to find it before people arrived.
- Some people didn't like that the rooms didn't have doors on the toilets for obvious reasons
- The open floor plan means there are more bugs in the living area than if the house was closed. This is totally worth it to me, just FYI.
After all that, I'm STILL GIVING IT 5 STARS. Why am I giving it a perfect rating even with some flaws? Because of the price. It is an absolutely insane value. it might be the best value in the world for houses of its type, at least according to my pretty extensive research on large scale rentals across the globe before picking this one

Gorgeous place
Review submitted: November 1, 2011 Date of arrival: July 4, 2011
Every day I was surprising with charm and beauty.
The location is close to the little town of las Terrenas,very safe with plenty good restaurants with a touch of french and italian cuisine.
Frenh bakery with croissants and pastry from the famous 'Nadine".
Horse back ridding for sunset and nice cocktails before diner with the local chef on the beach.
Very friendly staff ,who kept the house nice and clean all days.
Warming welcome with Martine and Francois ,who's always here for us ,organising trip to the water fall or the "route du cafe".
Just a perfect place to chill out and enjoy the swiming pool and make the perfect vacation.

Phenomenal Wedding Venue
Review submitted: November 1, 2011 Date of arrival: October 20, 2011
This villa is absolutely gorgeous! We rented this villa for our wedding and I couldn't have been happier about our choice. The house is beautiful, the staff blew me away (leury, the bartender was a life saver and the housekeepers were so sweet and helpful!), the beach was the best in the area (soft sand, shallow for a long way out, and the water was calm). The beds were so comfortable and the view is absolutely breathtaking. A slice of paradise!
One thing, there are mosquitos (it is the caribbean and it is an open house), so I would suggest getting some mosquito coils (they sell them in town) and lighting them around the house. Also, the staff will spray the rooms for you if you ask them to.
We missed the opening of the new road by just a few days, so now it's even easier to get to from Santo Domingo.
Our favorites in the area:
Mi Corazon - they catered our wedding and the food was fabulous. We had dinner at the restaurant as well and it is an amazing space. Excellent service and ambiance
Restaurant Luis - shack restaurant on the beach about 25 minute walk along the beach from the villa. about 30 of us went there one evening and they stayed open late for us, had delicious food, even drove their car over and used their headlight to give us some light as we ate.

26 friends and I recently visited the villa for a week, and I cannot speak highly enough about the house and the service! The facilities are high quality, modern and very comfortable, and the beach is secluded and absolutely stunning. The owner and employees catered to our every need, including security at night, 3 meals a day and massages (for extra, of course). The house was always very clean, and we had a tremendous amount of privacy considering the house is open air! We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the chef and the other employees, and they were tremendously helpful with every request or need we had. We also felt very safe around the house (in the house, on the beach, and in the larger neighborhood).
Las Terrenas also offers a variety of really fun activities that we took advantage of, including scuba diving, hikes to waterfalls, nightlife, fantastic restaurants and whale watching.
You really cannot find a better deal for the quality of the experience, and I highly encourage large groups to take advantage of this package! It is perfect for student groups, small weddings, reunions or other large occasions.
One recommendation: rent a car so that you can have the freedom to go to the grocery store and travel to various activities!
You won't regret it! Zero complaints!
Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway

Relaxing Getaway
Review submitted: February 22, 2011 Date of arrival: February 12, 2011
We recently came back from a one week friends/family vacation in Las Terrenas and stayed at the beautiful Villa del Mar. We had a truly fantastic time and this home which can easily be compared to a luxury boutique hotel has everything one needs for a relaxing holiday. There were 18 people in our group and we all loved the house situated on the beautiful Coson beach. The photos do not do this beautiful home any justice.
It was also a pleasure dealing with the owner and the house management. Everyone was simply delightful.

Would this fight make sense for Price next??? here are my reasons why i think somebody like Oliver McCall would be a great comeback opponent for David Price.
* McCall's chin is still rock solid - Price will be forced to go the full 10 rounds here where his stamina will be tested. Mentally doing the 10 rounds should do him wonders after gassing after 3 vs Thomson.
*Price will have 10 rounds to work on his technique eg: keeping an aggressive guy away with his jab and being able to move around the ring against a slower opponent.
*McCall still has a "name" if he comes to the UK, the history with Lennox Lewis will also help sell the fight.
*McCall is still dangerous at 48, there is no point getting guys who will last 2-3 Rounds vs Price, McCall will be in the fight until the last bell.
If McCall is not the guy then Price needs to fight durable guys, as i have already mentioned, there is no point in Price blasting somebody out. He needs to work on the things that let him down so badly vs Thompson - Stamina, his jab and his movement. McCall gives him this for 10 rounds and is at 48 a live opponent.
Would you bet against McCall to land a big shot after the Thompson-Price 2 fight???? i certainly wouldnt. Lewis also knows a lot about McCall, what better man to train him for the fight???
Thoughts please on the above, AND if no McCall, who should Price fight and why??

HESSMER, La. (KALB News Channel 5) A handful of residents in Avoyelles Parish received some unwanted visitors this week.
Door to door vacuum salesmen have left some residents of Avoyelles Parish on edge.
"A young girl came knocking on my door. I opened it up and she was standing there with a bag of tide. She offered me to come in my house to try out the vacuum cleaner," said Joey Roy.
The Avoyelles Parish Sheriffs Office received two complaints of suspicious activity on Monday August 12th.
Leaders from the APSO say the door to door salesmen are representatives of a legitimate business.
"Kirby incorporated has purchased an occupational license in Avoyelles Parish. And a lot of these salesmen of these companies are independent contractors working for Kirby," Major Steve Martel.
CenLa residents we spoke with say they will continue to approach door to door salesmen with caution.
"The world now is so crazy you can not trust anybody to just come into your home no matter what it is," said Heather Ducote.
"Anybody, you could be dressed perfectly and still letting someone in your house, once you let them in you know you are opening up the doors," said Joey Roy
Police say you should always use good judgment before allowing a stranger into your home.
"What people need to remember, the fact someone knocks on your door and they are trying to sell you something, you do not have to let them in your house. Anytime you can ask them to leave and they do not want to leave, pick up the phone, call the police and the police will make them leave," said Major Steve Martel.

It seems as though every week, the question is asked: will this be the round that Udinese picks themselves back up and looks like a team that made it to the qualifying round of the Champions League? But then we shake our heads and remind ourselves that the zebrette don't look like such a team because they're not that team. While Francesco Guidolin did a fine job last season replacing his big names with unknown talent, this time around, the side hasn't gelled.
And, even worse, Udinese don't look like they're set to do so. The club gambled once again, and this time, it may not pay off. They're currently in 14th place, having picked up just six points from seven rounds, and haven't won since beating AC Milan nearly a month ago. That being said, they fought admirably against Napoli the last time out and they beat Liverpool at Anfield in the Europa League. Antonio Di Natale is no longer being shunned. This could be the week Udi turn things around.
Pescara, surprisingly, sit just above their hosts in the table. Before losing 3-0 to Lazio, they'd won two in a row -- albeit against Palermo and Cagliari, not exactly formidable competition. But Udinese would do well to worry about Vladimir Weiss, who might only have two goals thus far this season, but both of them terrific. The Slovak can really frustrate defenses, particularly when they've grown tired.
Udinese Injuries and Suspensions
Dusan Basta, Luis Muriel, Marco Faraoni and Agyemang Badu
Gee, Udi could really do with the return of Dusan Basta.
Pescara Injuries and Suspensions
Giuseppe Colucci, Alessandro Crescenzi, Uros Cosic and Luca Savelloni.
Colucci's played in every Pescara match this season, so his being missing from midfield could present a problem.
Match Date / Time: Sunday, October 21 at 3 p.m. local, 9 a.m. ET
Location: Stadio Friuli, Udine
TV: Sky Calcio 3 (Italy)

C60 engine rebuilding...
I been buying up used parts to make another extra c60 engine to rebuild it before I take the engine out of my fel/hoe project tractor. Since I have all the parts for the fel/hoe I figured I would completely rebuild another engine and swap it out. I'm at a point wether to bore it to .010" over on the cylinders or just ream the ridges and hone the cylinders after checking the bore size of course. The block has a very small ridge in it now. I figure to have the block decked and the head surface to make sure there flat. This will be a machine to clean process that's it maybe .010" cut at the max. I'm going to port the intake and exhaust ports to match the manifold gaskets. This will let it breathe much easier. My question is where do you guys buy your new int154 parts?
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: C60 engine rebuilding...
I try to buy all that I can from TM.
Re: C60 engine rebuilding...
Since you are planning on having the block and head machined and perhaps the cylinders bored, have the machine shop provide prices for needed parts.
I make a list of needed parts, machine work, and supplies, then research prices from various suppliers.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: C60 engine rebuilding...
I can do the boring of the cylinders myself. I purchased the boring equipment for doing the bike engines but I can bore any diameter cylinders now. I just need the machine shop to deck the block and cut the head plus grind the valves. The assembly myself. I need the dome pistons for the 154.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: C60 engine rebuilding...
I would not just bore it .010 , I would go .020 Very hard to get .010 rings EZ to get .020 if you have to freshen it up at a latter date
All others pay cash

Re: C60 engine rebuilding...
I think Boss posted this link previously, but they have the best prices I have seen.
I think the most expensive item I purchased was the oversized dome topped pistons. I spent more on the pistons alone than agkits has for the entire engine rebuild kit.

Hello everyone - I am new to all this and would like a little help/information from all of you experienced people. My husband has recently past away and he had a 1951 Farmall Cub tractor that he restored. He told me to sell the tractor and the trailer he built for it. I would really appreciate knowing how much to ask for this tractor. I know how much the trailer is worth but have absolutely no idea on the tractor. Please help.
My e-mail address is email@example.com, please put FARMALL CUB in the subject line. I will attempt to come back on to this site and check for replies but I am not sure I will know how to get back to this particular section. Thank you

Yu Darvish has signed with the Texas Rangers after using up every last moment of the negotiating window. In addition to the $51.7 million bid paid to the Nippon Ham Fighters for the rights to talk to the Japanese phenom, the Rangers will also pay $60 million over six years to Darvish. It's difficult to pinpoint if he will be worth the total contract (just based on the hype, that seems like a potential steal), but a look into the projections for him could help sort things out.
First, some explanation is in order in regards to projections for pitchers from Japan. Forecasts for players in the majors (or coming from the minors) are easier, in the sense that enough of a sample -- thousands and thousands of players and player seasons -- has been built up, increasing our confidence in the fortunes augured. Not so for players coming from Japan, as the number of players and player seasons we work with is exponentially smaller. Dan Szymborski, creator of the ZiPS projection system, explained this after the rights to Darvish were won:
Japan's professional league is a very high level of play, somewhere between Triple-A and the majors, but there's still a lot we don't know about how Japanese pitchers will fare in MLB. Going back through history, there are only 21 pitchers that had full-time jobs in Japan who went on to pitch 50 innings in the majors. That's the extent of our knowledge of how Japanese pitchers fare in the majors.
Some NPB imports have succeeded (Hideo Nomo pitched 12 years after transferring to MLB; Colby Lewis, while not Japanese, pitched in Japan before returning to succeed in MLB), others have seen mixed results (Daisuke Matsuzaka has been effective or difficult to watch, depending on his heatlh), and others (Kei Igawa) were never able to put it together. This isn't something local to Japan -- just like anywhere else in the world where there is baseball, there are Japanese pitchers who are better, worse, or somewhere in between. When it comes to projecting Japanese hurlers here in MLB, though, the scarcity issues with pitchers to analyze makes pinpointing a player's future difficult. It's no different than projecting the performance of say, a Cuban player who skips the minors for the majors.
That's why projections for players coming from Japan might be overly optimistic or pessimistic -- we probably just don't know enough yet, due to not having enough of a sample to work with. Two of the forecasts out for Darvish right now are those of Oliver (from Hardball Times) and Szymborski's ZiPS. The two have little in common, despite coming from the same data source -- Darvish's statistics from the NPB:
Given Darvish is projected to be above-average in strikeouts, but not by a whole lot, it's safe to say ZiPS sees his success coming due to his extreme groundball tendencies. Oliver on the other hand sees a transfer of almost Darvish's entire strikeout rate from Japan, along with those grounders, and predicts him to be one of the top pitchers in the majors, if not the very best. No pressure or anything, Yu.
On the surface, Oliver's projection comes off as far too optimistic, and ZiPS either spot-on or pessimistic, depending how you're feeling. As Jonah Keri said back in December, though, it's difficult to project players from a league where, "a young star like Ichiro can carry his numbers to MLB fame, but an MLB washout like Tuffy Rhodes can also go on to hit 55 homers in a single season in Japan." Darvish might actually be the best pitcher on the planet right now, as Oliver suggests, or maybe he's more ZiPS-flavored -- just the perfect replacement for the departed C.J. Wilson.
We haven't seen a pitcher like Darvish come over from Japan before, either, so direct comparisons to others don't necessarily apply. Between his deep repertoire (Patrick Newman of NPBTracker.com lists him as having a fastball, cutter, curve, shuuto, forkball, change-up, and slider, with speeds ranging up to 96 m.p.h. down to 60), his build (6-foot-5 and over 220 pounds), and his durability (he's averaged nearly 205 innings a year in his five seasons), he's what many scouts would consider to be a can't-miss success. He's also just 25 years old, meaning the Rangers are getting him in the prime years of his career. Would it be that surprising if a pitcher with great scouting reports, great results, and great projections was, well, great?
It's tough to get a read on how successful players transitioning from the NPB to MLB will be due to the lack of data, but with Darvish's background and past success, he seems like the easiest bet to win out of those the projection systems have made. Maybe Oliver is a little ahead of itself here, and maybe ZiPS is too pessimistic, even if it likes Darvish well enough. But without more pitchers like Darvish coming over, regardless of success or failure, we won't get any better at this.

THE SCREENING ROOM: Jonathan Groff, From Spring Awakening, "Glee" and More (Video)
By Playbill Staff
Jonathan Groff, known for his performances in Spring Awakening and Fox's "Glee," will return to television next month in the second season of "Boss" on Starz. In anticipation of a weekly dose of Groff, Playbill.com has compiled favorite moments from the Tony nominee — on and off the stage.
Groff, who received a Tony nomination for his performance as radical teenager Melchior Gabor in Spring Awakening, was also seen on Broadway in In My Life. He most recently appeared on the New York stage in The Submission and plays the character of Jesse St. James on "Glee."
Learn more about Groff's theatrical history in the Playbill Vault.
At a Birdland concert featuring the music of composer-lyricist Scott Alan, Groff sang "Now," about dealing with a breakup.
Here, the Tony nominee enlisted dancers from Broadway's Tony Award-winning Anything Goes — and even learned Tony winner Kathleen Marshall's choreography — to re-create the eight-minute title tap number from the Cole Porter musical at MCC Theater's March 26 Miscast benefit. Obviously, he wowed the crowd!
Groff often reunites with Spring Awakening co-star — and best friend — Lea Michele. Here, in one of their many cabaret appearances, the duo sang "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
Here, Groff, Michele and the cast of Spring Awakening perform a medley of songs from the Duncan Sheik-Steven Sater musical including "Mama Who Bore Me," "The Bitch of Living" and "Totally F*cked."
Groff often performs "Larger Than Life" from My Favorite Year in his cabaret appearances. Here is his performance of that song by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Groff covered "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell at a Joe's Pub performance.
On "Glee," Groff was introduced as Vocal Adrenaline bad boy Jesse St. James. Here, he drops by McKinley High and joins Rachel Berry (Michele) for a cover of Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep."
Groff was last seen on the New York stage in Jeff Talbott's award-winning play The Submission, where he played the role of eager playwright Danny Larsen. If you missed his edgy performance, check out highlights from the Off-Broadway run.
Before the Central Park production of Hair transferred to Broadway, Groff performed the lead role of Claude. Here are his performances of "Hair" and "I Got Life."
Since he didn't get to perform this song in Spring Awakening, we thought we'd include it here — Groff's performance of "Mama Who Bore Me."
Watch the previews for season two of "Boss," which begins Aug. 17 on Starz.

Last week, a jury determined that Jammie Thomas, a single mother living in
The recording industry was apparently able to track down this crime by hiring a high-tech sleuth who has software that can monitor the files people place on their computers. No doubt, the recording industry's sleuth has been visiting a computer near you.
The recording industry has been having a difficult time adjusting to the modern world. Digital technology and the Internet make it possible to instantly and costlessly transfer recorded music, movies, videos, and other material anywhere in the world. While this is great news for consumers, and those who value freedom of expression, as well as writers and musicians who want their work to reach the greatest possible audience, these technological developments are really bad news for the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry makes its money off of copyrights. It wants to be able to charge people to get music and movies and it can't do that if people can get it for free. And, they want the nanny state to make people pay them. That's why Ms. Thomas may spend the rest of her life paying a fine for allowing 24 songs to be shared with others.
This is not the first time the entertainment industry has gone over the top to try to enforce copyrights. A few years back, it had a Russian computer scientist arrested at an academic conference for presenting a paper that explained how the industry's encryption codes could be broken. It has gone into college dorm rooms and teenagers' bedrooms looking for evidence of unauthorized copies of recorded music. It has coerced colleges into having propaganda classes on the virtues of copyrights for incoming freshman (no doubt led by experts from
It's long past time for a little reality check. Copyright dates back to 16th century
While copyrights do provide an incentive for creative work, they are an extremely inefficient mechanism for this end. It is most efficient when items are sold at their marginal cost. Economists generally get infuriated about the economic distortions that are created when tariffs of 10 percent or 20 percent are placed on items like steel or clothes. In the case of copyrights, material that could otherwise be transferred at zero cost, instead commands prices of $15 for CDs, $30 for movies, and even higher prices for other items, entirely because of the government-granted monopoly. For this reason, the economic distortions created by copyright dwarf the economic damage caused by other forms of trade protection.
There are many other mechanisms for supporting creative work, such as university funding (most professors are expected to publish in addition to their teaching), foundation funding, or direct public support. It is easy to design alternative mechanisms to expand this pool of non-copyright funding, such as the Artistic Freedom Voucher, which would give each person a small tax credit to support creative work of their choosing.
With the entertainment industry getting increasingly out of control, it is important that we start to develop better alternatives to copyright. We need to think of how we should support creative work in the 21st century and not let the entertainment industry drag us back into the 16th century.

Bozeman-area pharmacies tell us they're completely out of flu vaccines, and don't expect to replenish their supplies. Experts are calling it the worst flu season in years, with widespread flu in nearly every state, including Montana.
Many folks flocked to pharmacies to get vaccinated, cleaning out the supply. On Monday, NBC Montana called CVS, Costco, Albertson's, Smith's and many more- and found nearly everyone is completely out of stock.
Health officials at the Gallatin City-County Health Department told us the demand spiked after the increase in flu cases this season.
They said that caused vaccine manufacturers to nearly run out of supply, so they're only sending out a limited number of doses.
Places like Costco and Osco pharmacy in Albertson's told us they had 30 vaccine doses last Friday, and within hours, those were gone.
And everyone else we talked to told us they used the last of their supply over the weekend, too.
NBC Montana talked to local folks outside of the CVS pharmacy Monday night. A few told us they got vaccinated, and glad they did before the supply ran out.
"My husband and I go to urgent care and get ours in October so that we've got one, and we don't have to worry about somebody being out" said Karoline Martinez.
Bozeman resident Kyle Luraas said he just got vaccinated recently. "I work at the hospital so I got mine for free" he said.
But MSU student Darren Blackwolf said he didn't get a flu shot this year- but he's not too worried.
"For me it's not a big deal" he said. "But for my grandparents back home- yeah, I'm kind of like- oh, I hope they got their flu shots."
The Gallatin City-County Health Department does still have vaccines, and Costco and Osco said they'll receive more doses in the next two days. But other pharmacies told us they're done for the season.
Health officials said the vaccine or nasal mist are the best ways to protect against influenza.
The health department tells us in the last few months, there have been 238 confirmed and suspected cases in the Gallatin County.
Statewide, that number is 1,864 confirmed and suspected cases. 68 people have been hospitalized, and Montana's seen 4 deaths from influenza this season.

A nice story:
"Iraqi civilians fleeing heavy fighting [in central Iraq] have stunned and delighted hungry US marines by giving them food.
"'They had slaughtered lambs and chickens and boiled eggs and potatoes for their journey out of the frontlines,' [a Marine sergeant] said. At one camp, the buses stopped and women passed out food to the troops, who have had to ration their army-issue packets of ready-to-eat meals due to disruptions to supply lines by fierce fighting further south.
"In broken English [an Iraqi] told a correspondent travelling with the marines: 'We like Americans,' adding that no one liked Saddam Hussein because 'he was not kind.'"

Down for a good portion to start the game, the Chicago Bulls turned the first quarter in their favor on a late Luol Deng dunk. But it wasn't any old dunk. Deng drove through the lane and dunked it on LeBron James, drawing the foul as well. Derrick Rose added a layup several seconds later to give the Bulls their first lead in over eight minutes. The Bulls lead, 25-21, after the first quarter.
The Bulls opened up the quarter with a 4-0 lead, but quickly saw the Heat go on a 12-2 run. Deng and Rose combined for 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting to save the quarter. The Bulls went on a 15-6 run to end the first period of play.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade scored nine points and seven points, respectively, but the Hear are shooting under 40 percent from the field so far. Neither team's bench has put any points on the board.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - Travis Smith scored a career-high 25 points and Mercer pulled away from Stetson 70-64 Monday in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both teams.

So close we can practically taste it. And I trust I need not spell out what "it" is. A mixed bag of results for Arizona, who had to salvage the series finale in San Diego, but did then come home...
Seven series victories in a row for Arizona, four of them coming on the road. How has each player performed this week?
The Diamondbacks went 4-2 this week, closing in on a likely division title. Who were the stars for the team over the last seven days?

The rush for one of the state's retail marijuana licenses is about to begin.
The Liquor Control Board will issue 334 licenses statewide sometime next spring. Application review will start in November.
The board will issue 18 licenses for Spokane County, although 11 of them will be set aside for businesses in the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley. The remaining seven can be issued to businesses anywhere in the county.
The board set aside four licenses for anywhere in Stevens County and two for anywhere in Pend Oreille County. King County will receive 61 licenses.
Businesses will be limited to only three retail licenses at a time in an effort to keep a few entities from controlling the market.
The board also capped marijuana production at 40 metric tons next year.
It is expected that retail marijuana will make up about 25 percent of the market share at first and grow in subsequent years.
