|The Tragedy of the Commons (essay)
Garrett James Hardin (April 21, 1915 – September 14, 2003) was an American ecologist who warned of the dangers of overpopulation. His exposition of the tragedy of the commons, in a 1968 paper,[1] called attention to "the damage that innocent actions by individuals can inflict on the environment".[2] He is also known for Hardin's First Law of Human Ecology: "You cannot do only one thing"[3][page needed], which "modestly implies that there is at least one unwanted consequence."[4]
Hardin received a B.S. in zoology from the University of Chicago in 1936 and a PhD in microbiology from Stanford University in 1941. Moving to the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1946, he served there as Professor of Human Ecology from 1963 until his (nominal) retirement in 1978. He was among the first members of the Society for General Systems Research.
A major focus of his career, and one to which he returned repeatedly, was the issue of human overpopulation. This led to writings on controversial subjects such as advocating abortion, which earned him criticism from the political right, and advocating eugenics by forced sterilization, and strict limits to non-western immigration, which earned him criticism from the political left. In his essays, he also tackled subjects such as conservation and creationism.[how?]
In 1963, Hardin drew heavy criticism from the left for his alleged indulgence in theories that may justify genocide on the grounds of ecological balance. This thesis was put forward and defended by his readings of the early Christian philosopher Tertullian, who believed that famine and war were good for society as a whole as a means of solving the problem of overpopulation and resource-sharing.
In September 1974, he published the article "Living on a Lifeboat" in BioScience magazine, arguing that contributing food to help the Ethiopian famine would add to overpopulation, which he considered the root of Ethiopia's problems.
In 1993, Hardin published Living Within Limits, which he described at the time as a summation of all his previous works. In this book, he argues that natural sciences are grounded in the concept of limits (such as the speed of light), while social sciences such as economics are grounded in concepts that have no limits (such as "infinite-Earth" economic models). He notes that most of the more notable scientific (as opposed to political) arguments concerning environmental economics are between natural scientists, such as Paul R. Ehrlich, and economists, such as Julian Simon. Hardin goes on to label those who reflexively argue for growth as "growthmaniacs",[5] and argues against the institutional faith in exponential growth on a finite planet, illustrating this with the example of compound interest, or "usury". This, he claims, must eventually fail, and he argues that society has been duped into confusing interest with debt.[6] Hardin writes, "At this late date millions of people believe in the fertility of money with an ardor seldom accorded to traditional religious doctrines".
In 1994, he was one of 52 signatories on "Mainstream Science on Intelligence,[7]" an editorial written by Linda Gottfredson and published in the Wall Street Journal, which declared the consensus of the signing scholars on issues related to race and intelligence following the publication of the book The Bell Curve. Like many of the other signatories of that editorial, Hardin was also a grantee of the Pioneer Fund, which funds controversial research on the topic of race and intelligence and is frequently described as promoting scientific racism. On February 11, 1998 he debated Christian philosopher William Lane Craig at University of California, Santa Barbara.[8][9]
Hardin's last book The Ostrich Factor: Our Population Myopia (1999), a warning about the threat of overpopulation to the Earth's sustainable economic future, called for coercive constraints on "unqualified reproductive rights" and argued that affirmative action is a form of racism.
Hardin, who suffered from a heart disorder, and his wife Jane, who suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease, were members of End-of-Life Choices, formerly known as the Hemlock Society, and believed in individuals choosing their own time to die. They committed suicide in their Santa Barbara home in September 2003, shortly after their 62nd wedding anniversary. He was 88 and she was 81.[10]

UNCW Press Release
PHILADELPHIA – Drexel shot 54.5 percent from the floor in
the second half to expand a six-point halftime lead and defeat UNCW, 56-45, in
Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action Thursday at the John A.
Daskalakis Athletic Center.
The Dragons improved to 13-14 overall and 7-7 in CAA play as they halted a three-game losing skid. The Seahawks, meanwhile, moved to 4-25 and 3-12 with the setback.
Senior Tory Thierolf poured in a game-high 16 points for Drexel, who was 12-of-22 from the field in the second half after shooting just 9-of-28 from the floor in the first half. Theirolf was the only Dragons player in double figures as freshman Sarah Curran scored eight points and freshman Alexis Smith chipped in seven. Senior Fiona Flanagan grabbed a game-best nine rebounds to help the Dragons to a 36-26 advantage on the glass.
Junior Kelva Atkins scored 11 points to lead a UNCW attack that shot just 33.3 percent from the floor for the contest. Freshman D'Asia Cain added nine points and fellow newcomer Brie Mobley chipped in eight.
UP NEXT: UNCW closes out the regular season March 5 with a 7 p.m. contest at College of Charleston. Drexel is back in action March 2 with a 2 p.m. matinee at Hofstra.
HOW IT HAPPENED: Drexel held a 22-20 lead late in the first half when a layup by Curran at the 1:02 mark of the opening frame sparked an 8-1 spurt that lasted just under three minutes and gave the Dragons a 30-21 advantage.
A three-pointer by freshman Johanna McMillan and a layup by Atkins ended the spurt and brought the Seahawks within four, 30-26, only to see the Dragons score 21 of the next 31 points to take their largest lead of the contest, 51-36, with 4:47 on the clock.
The Seahawks responded to the Drexel run, scoring six of the next eight points to pull within 11, 53-42, with 2:39 remaining. UNCW would get no closer, as the two teams traded baskets over the remainder of the contest to determine the 56-45 final score.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: Drexel enjoyed a 32-16 advantage in points in the paint, highlighted by a 22-10 margin in the second half … Drexel finished with 17 assists on 21 baskets made … UNCW recorded 11 steals on 15 Drexel turnovers, compared to just six Dragons steals on 14 Seahawks miscues … Both teams shot better than 65 percent at the free-throw line as UNCW as 15-of-22 (.682) from the line while Drexel was 12-of-16 (.750) at the charity stripe … Both teams made just two three-point field goals in the contest as UNCW was 2-of-8 (.250) from beyond the arc while Drexel was 2-of-16 (.125) from long range … Both teams finished with one blocked shot in the contest … The two teams combined for 39 bench points, with Drexel holding a 24-15 advantage in that category.
SERIES NOTES: Thursday's contest served as the 22nd meeting between the two programs … Drexel has won each of the last five meetings between the two programs to build a 14-8 lead in the all-time series … UNCW moved to 2-8 in 10 contests versus the Dragons at the DAC.
· UNCW used just its second different starting lineup of the season as Johanna McMillan and D'Asia Cain both made their first career starts.
· UNCW was held below 50 points for the 10th time this season and the fifth time in the last eight games.
· The Seahawks recorded double-digit steals for the eighth time this season as they recorded 11 thefts in the contest.
· UNCW shot below 35 percent from the field for the 14th time this season and the fourth time in the past five contests.
3 – Kelva Atkins

By BOB CHRISTIEAssociated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - What's become a yearly effort at the Arizona Legislature to end a requirement for governments to publish notices in newspapers has hit a major snag in the Senate.
A House bill by Republican Rep. Warren Petersen of Gilbert allowing large cities and towns and all counties to instead post public notices online didn't get a Senate committee hearing by a March 21 deadline. An effort to include the language in a bill to be heard by another committee was foiled.
Sen. Don Shooter says he held the bill in his committee because it would damage newspapers. The Yuma Republican says his view is you don't mess with the press or with religion.
The snags signal the effort is probably not moving this year, but it's possible it could be revived.

Buying you own app is not that costly as money will be returned to you with payments (with some taxes off)
The easiest way to prevent multiple reviews is to identify submit action by phone IMEI number. It was Ovi Store architects big mistake to set uniqueness of reviews by username only.
Do you really think architects built the ovi store? I would argue it was more then likely butchers with cloven hooves for hands?It was Ovi Store architects
If this is bad, for me even worse is other developers advertise their own applications in others developers applications:
Sorry, I not read well, your problem is my problem.
But, maybe the Ovi Store (moderation) is the problem.
Let's be real, Ovi receive by app, not matter what app. For Ovi is the same. .

Hi Andrew.
This is almost the same (ok dont have link):
helen.mperou make reviews in my 2 similar apps in the same hour, but make none in the much better application 's&m info'. Strange.There is much better application in ovi store! It's called 's&m info'.
If it is normal, if that's how the store works, I can not do anything.
Hi everybody...I have a serious problem...May be some of U are facing the same...someone or some group intentionally gives 1star in every 6 hours,gives false bad reviews and personal attack in the review...it efects all the new released contents...the overall rating become low...all the free contents are affected..why not Nokia impliment IMEI restriction..because it clearly shows they are doing this from same mobiles..atleast can the developer have the fecility to know the country name?...so that it can be stoped !!
Yes, you can read about similar things in http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...e-self-reviews
Perhaps your post will get merged to that thread.

Since 1992, Natural Industries has been committed to providing organic plant protection microbes to the horticulture, agriculture and lawn & garden industries. Our products are safe, non-toxic, non-phytotoxic (will not burn plants), natural and proven through science to be effective in controlling foliar and soil-borne diseases. Natural Industries is now proud to annouce that we are a Novozymes Company. To learn more see our press release.
It's all about our little microbes.
Our microorganisms are first marketed to professional growers including, greenhouses, nurseries, golf courses and farmers. After years of use by commercial operations we then bring them to the consumer lawn and garden market. Our first patented microorganism, Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108, is the key to a balanced, productive and natural environment for plant life. Whether settling into the plant's foliage or the root's rhizosphere, the S. lydicus microorganism colonizes and grows around the structure of the plant forming a symbiotic relationship. This unique relationship includes the microbe feeding of the plant's waste materials while secreting beneficial and protective by-products back into the plant system. This process of colonization and protective secretions forms a defensive barrier around the plant which in turn suppresses and controls soil pathogens. Our S. lydicus microbe, sold under the Actinovate brand, has also been shown to prey on certain pathogens, disrupting their cell walls and disabling them in the process.
Our Actinovate microbes are currently found in products used by thousands of horticulture, agriculture and landscape professionals around the world. S. lydicus has been extensively researched by many industry professionals in the lab and in the field. Our microbes are proven effective for such plants as annuals, perennials, shrubs, woody ornamentals, trees, and landscape transplants. We specialize in taking microbial technologies from the discovery phase and running them through a series of development levels meant to screen out undesirable traits. This ensures that our professional and consumer products contain the best microbial strains in the world.
Rigorous Research & Development
Natural Industries has partnered with many great institutions, such as The University of Idaho and the USDA, to develop its microbial technologies. Many of our products must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to be sold in the US. This requires extensive toxicity and ecotoxicity tests to measure the product's effect on the environment. The Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI) also approves our products for use in organic farming as required by the USDA's National Organics Program (NOP). Natural Industries is currently selling its products overseas and must comply with all safety and environmental regulations in these foreign countries as well. For additional quality-control measures, Natural Industries has contracted many Universities to do field research with the products to establish independent clinical efficacy tests. All of this adds up to the safest and most powerful microbial solutions on the market.
Our Mission: For every plant problem, there's a microorganism that can solve it.

Many ceremonies commemorating the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 on New York and Washington are being held on this day.
Sunday evening, the eyes of the world of baseball will be focused on New York City, where nearly 3,000 people died, several hundred of whom were first responders, police officers and firefighters. Before Sunday night's game between the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs at Citi Field, the Mets will have a ceremony to honor first responders:
The Mets will mark the occasion with a pregame remembrance ceremony, and they've offered free tickets to New York City first responders and their families. Brooklyn native and former Mets reliever John Franco will throw out the first pitch, and the national anthem will be sung by Marc Anthony.
It's hard to know how to properly note anniversaries such as this one. Mets manager Terry Collins may have the right idea:
"I don't consider it a celebration," said manager Terry Collins. "A remembrance is one thing. But to honor those people that risked their lives on that day, they should be honored somehow. They should be. And so to be a part of that game -- and obviously the Mets were the first team to play back in New York after that -- to have that honor again I think is going to be special for the players."
Some of the members of the Cubs, in town to play the Mets this weekend, including third baseman Aramis Ramirez and manager Mike Quade, shared their memories of that tragic day 10 years ago:
For Quade, who was on the coaching staff of the Oakland Athletics team that played the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs in 2001, the emotions and scenes from those few days a decade ago remain vivid. When he went onto the field, Quade made a detour to find then-New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani and shake his hand.
"It's hard to even describe the feeling then," Quade said. "A couple of days in the playoffs and going through all that, the emotions that were involved. There's certain things that are left with you for life, and obviously that's one of them."
Ramirez remembers waking up in Pittsburgh the morning of the attacks and finding his voice-mail box full.
"My mom called me like a thousand times [from the Dominican]," Ramirez said. "She was worried because of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. She thought it was close. She didn't know. It wasn't that close, but it wasn't that far either."
On Sept. 11, 2001, among those in New York City were members of the Chicago White Sox, who were scheduled to play the New York Yankees that night -- a game that was postponed, along with games for the rest of that week. Some players with the Sox that day, still with the team today, along with general manager Kenny Williams, recounted stories of their experiences to the Chicago Sun-Times, and especially recall one thing that occurred after they had chartered two buses to drive them back to Chicago:
At 6 a.m., after a night of uncertainty and fear, the Sox began their journey west to Cleveland, where they planned to stay for the night before returning to Chicago.
But just before they got on the George Washington Bridge toward New Jersey, police stopped the buses. They asked the Sox if they would take two nurses across. The nurses had worked through the night, and the lockdown meant their families couldn't pick them up.
"They got on the bus, and the smell of death was on them," Williams said. "They were covered in soot, covered in blood. One sat next to me, one sat next to [then-manager] Jerry Manuel. All I could say was, 'Are you OK?' And she just looked at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen in my life. It melted my heart. God only knows what she saw that night.
"We dropped them off and watched them embrace their family members before we drove off."
We should indeed always remember these, not just the enormity of the attacks and the innocent who died, but these small stories of brave men and women who risked their lives to try to save others on that terrible day 10 years ago. Tonight in New York City, baseball and the Mets will try in some small way to remember those sacrifices. We should indeed never forget.

Sioux Falls Teen Injured in Assault by 5 Men at Terrace Park
A Sioux Falls teen was injured around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday evening when he was jumped by five men he didn't know.
Officer Sam Clemens of the Sioux Falls Police Department says the 17-year-old received a phone call from a man who wanted to retrieve property that belonged to a mutual friend.
Clemens says the two made arrangements to meet in the parking lot of the Terrace Park swimming pool so the teen could return the property. But he told police that as he was talking to the man, four others "came out of nowhere" and began assaulting him.
One of the assailants may have had brass knuckles, while the others punched and kicked him.
The suspects took off running when someone saw them and yelled, and the victim was treated at a hospital for cuts to his head.
The only descriptions he was able to give of his assailants were that one, possibly the caller, was a white male around 6'1″, while another was a Hispanic male, 5'7″.

Nearly a decade ago, I traveled to New York to meet with the Atkins diet folks to discuss a book project, but I was quickly shown the door after I broached the subject of saturated fat. Can't we tweak the program a bit, I wondered aloud, to emphasize olive oil over artery-damaging fried pork rinds?
Fast-forward 10 years, and researchers are still debating whether saturated fat is devil or angel. A new re-analysis of a decades-old clinical trial involving 458 male heart patients found that those who were randomly assigned to eat a diet rich in polyunsaturated vegetable oils instead of saturated animal fats had a bigger drop in their cholesterol levels over a three-year period than those who stuck with their usual diet — but they also had more heart disease deaths.

- 22 February 1995
- Côte d'Azur (French Riviera - France)
- 2010
Enzo, full of youthful exuberance…
«I've enjoyed climbing from early childhood. Why? I was born in Nice, there's rock everywhere and the weather's good year round, so going climbing is easy. My parents climbed. When I was little my parents brought with them all the time when they went climbing. I feel right at home climbing.
Until the age of 13, I really enjoyed climbing the cliffs of the French Riviera, but now, after having traveled with Team Petzl, it's not the same type of enjoyment.»
Landscapes I prefer the most?
«With the Team, there are so many new and unique places to discover. We take an original approach to developing new areas and to putting up new routes, which always out in the wilderness somewhere. The best are bouldering spots like Bishop, Millau, the Tarn valley, outside Briançon, Entraigues, and Roche de Rame. I feel relaxed in the mountains. Perhaps it's an inherent need for peace and quiet...»
To feel like I'm progressing
«What do I like about climbing? I don't know. I just enjoy it. I don't have any long term goals. But when I'm in the moment it's a powerful feeling. Climbing is an overall experience, something that recharges my battery. I don't enjoy sending a route for the sake of sending a route, what I enjoy is progressing, moving forward. I like to succeed in feeling comfortable with the route, like a day that just goes well without knowing exactly why.»
And the future?
«I don't really think about it. Time will tell. I'd like to continue climbing as much as possible. I don't see myself working in climbing all my life until retirement. That's not my thing. I'm neither interested in becoming a certified climbing instructor, nor in creating a company to coach or to train climbers. At the same time, I can't imagine my life without climbing. For everything else, I'm confident that it will all work out. In the beginning, I had a hard time convincing my parents to let me stop going to school. Now they fully support me; a big thanks to them. They only ask that I do the best I can in life, and to be serious about what I like to do. Since I'm almost 17, I should be at least somewhat focused.»
Any difficulties or limitations?
«I need to work more on those areas where I do not excel. For example I need to be more disciplined in working on endurance. That said, I don't compete, so I don't have that limitation. Competitions take up too much time. Indoor climbing is not at all representative of what I like to do. It's something else. I'm not able to express myself when climbing plastic. For me, it has nothing to do with the sport, with the freedom of climbing in the great outdoors.»
In life…
«The people with whom I'm the closest are climbers. At this point in time I only hang out with climbers, often climbers who in the 16 to 24 age group. My favorite book is "The Centenarian Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared", by Jonas Jonasson. My favorite film is "A Serious Man", by the Coen brothers.»
Enzo's anecdote
«During an evening get together with friends in March, 2011, I said to a friend 'do you want to go climbing?' He said okay. So I took him to the top of a crane at a nearby construction site to do a pendulum. He had never put on a harness in his life. It's three in the morning, and we have no right to be there, no headlamps, and no helmets. We're both sixteen years old. We had a rope, a GRIGRI, and one quickdraw between the two of us. He took forever to climb from one rung to another. We wanted to swing like the trapeze at the circus, but halfway up the crane's boom, he collapsed, exhausted and scared. What a mess. Charles was just hanging there. At least we were roped up. I was pulled to the side. I then lowered him down and things turned out just fine.»
What they say about Enzo:
Mike Fuselier
«Enzo is young, which means that he is totally unpredictable and spontaneous. Climbing with Enzo is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get… There are plenty of stories to tell, but here's a good one. The story takes place in Cuba, at a guest house. During a discussion about American movies, Enzo talks about the boldness of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who takes a coconut to the abs when dropped from 10 meters above. To prove his nerve, we decided that he should experience a similar feat of strength, so we blindfolded him and started pummeling his powerful abdominal muscles with a few water bottles. He went from being a little nervous to wanting to see just how powerful a blow he could take. The dare only lasted a few minutes and Enzo took on the onslaught of bottle blows no problem… at the time. But the next day, his stomach covered in bruises demonstrated just how much he really took. "It'll help build abs, which are good for locking off", Enzo said. All in good humor…»
Aymeric Clouet
«When we were with Arnaud in Morocco, in the Taghia region of Atlas Mountains, we were explaining basic aid technique to Enzo, how to use hooks, various safety measures, and how to use ascenders to climb up a rope. At some point in the discussion it was clear that Enzo had stopped paying attention and was no longer listening. Arnaud and I decided to stop for the day thinking that we would pick up where we left of later. Just afterwards we could tell that he had understood everything. Enzo learns quickly, is able to apply everything right away, and in addition has a great memory. He's amazing.»
Nina Caprez
«I have a wonderful memory of when we were in Cuba. The title of the story could be, 'psychoanalysis.'
On our last day in Cuba we went to the beach. In general Enzo is not too nit-picky when it comes to how clean his clothes are. But on this particular day he took a change of clean clothes for after the beach. He was already cleaned up and ready for the bus trip back while the rest of us were still in our bathing suits when Cédric found nothing better to do than to spray Coca-Cola all over Enzo's clothes. Given how rare the situation was for Enzo (perfectly clean white clothes), the moment that followed was classic. Enzo got all angry and yelled, "What the hell, I was perfect!" Everyone ended up having a good laugh, including Enzo once he realized what he had said. There you have it, "I was perfect", Enzo's new saying.»

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Leicester Tigers and matches between Wasps and Tigers over the years.
Despite a brave fightback in the last quarter, a three try raid for Leicester on either side of half time sealed victory for the Tigers this afternoon, by 40-26.
The win for the Midlanders mean no place in the play offs for Wasps in the first time in the five years of their existence, and leaves Wasps with a three week lay off before the Heineken Cup Final, again against Leicester, at Twickenham in three weeks time.
There was rarely a dull minute at Welford Road this afternoon, despite the disappointing result for Wasps, and a pulsating first half ended with the match very much in the balance at 19-14 in favour of the hosts.
The game began furiously, and Tigers had the best of the early possession, threatening the Wasps try line almost immediately from the kick off. A break through the middle from Shane Jennings, followed up by another from Ben Kay took them to within yards of the line where Wasps infringed to concede Goode's first penalty. Some effective carries from Martin Corry and Lewis Moody gave the Tigers fly half an easy second pot at goal minutes after for a 6-0 lead.
Wasps regrouped however, and quickly won a long distance penalty chance for Van Gisbergen. He was off target with that attempt, but when a Goode clearance attempt was charged down, his recovering forwards conceded a second penalty inside the 22, and the Wasps full back made no mistake.
Wasps had a glimpse of a chance soon after, when good approach work from Tom Rees, Tom Palmer and Paul Sackey on the right opened up space on the left, but Joe Worsley's offload as the overlap beckoned was marginally forward. Wasps continued to pressurise the home side in their own 22 however, and forced handling errors from the Tigers backs. Then, as Moody rather blatantly handled the ball in a ruck, he earned himself a yellow card from referee Wayne Barnes and a penalty that allowed Van Gisbergen to draw his side level at 6-6.
Ferocious collisions abounded, not least in the scrum where Barnes evened up the man count by sending Eoin Reddan to the bin after a scrum infringement in Wasps own 22 that allowed Goode to nudge Tigers ahead 9-6. Wasps however, replied with a try when stand in scrum half Josh Lewsey worked the blind side to hand a try to No8 James Haskell.
A further exchange of penalties preserved Wasps lead, but then, thanks to a beauty of a territorial kick from Goode, Tigers worked an attacking line out to within five metres before releasing the ball wide for Alesana Tuilagi to score in the corner. Goode's conversion allowed Tigers to go in 19-14 ahead at half time.
The visitors fumbled reception of the second half restart however, handed Tigers a series of scrummages on the Wasps line that resulted in a string of penalties against them. Referee Barnes took action, yellow carding prop Peter Bracken, but with the pressure unremitting, Wasps collapsed a further scrum that prompted Barnes to award a penalty try.
With Goode's straightforward conversion allowing Tigers to build a useful lead, their confidence was clearly growing. Goode counter attacked from his own 22 and made it well into Wasps half before finding Harry Ellis in support, only Ellis's slip preventing Wasps from conceding again. However, finding themselves once more in the attacking third, Leicester pressed on and clever interpassing from Jennings and Corry allowed Hipkiss to score Tigers' third try of the day, Goode's conversion giving his team a commanding 33-14 lead.
With a man down Wasps could have imploded but, despite showing signs of being rattled they carved out some good opportunities as the hour mark approached.Van Gisbergen weaved a path through the middle on the counter attack, passing to Cipriani whose kick off the outside of his boot gave Wasps a five metre line out. Haskell came achingly close to scoring from the subsequent catch and drive, and when Wasps won a penalty in close to the posts, Reddan's opportunity looked to have arrived. However, his quick tap was missed by Van Gisbergen, who got caught in possession as Reddan offloaded to him. Tigers pounced, turned over the ball and ran the length of the pitch for Moody to score in the corner for the bonus point.
Wasps continued the fight however, and a simple straight run from replacement centre Ayoola Erinle pulled Wasps back to 41-21, replacement Walder converting from in front of the posts with eight minutes remaining.
Substitute scrum half Mark McMillan continued the comeback, latching on to a counter attacking run up the middle from Lewsey to score Wasps third of the day, but with six minutes remaining, Leicester were not about to let this one slip away, winning possession and keeping it to ensure a final 40-26 win that secures them a home tie in the play off semis next weekend.
Asked after the game if the result was an omen of what was to come in the Heineken Cup Final at Twickenham in three weeks time, Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan said, 'I hope not!'
'We'd done a lot of good things up to half time, but we knew we were going to have to be disciplined and focussed in the second half as the wind was going to be a factor. We had missed scoring opportunities in the first half, but effectively it was the first ten minutes after half time that secured the result. We put ourselves in a corner - literally - lost a prop to the sin bin and couldn't get out of that corner. Those are the things you don't want to be doing against Leicester and that was the game lost I think.
Discussing Wasps preparations for the Heineken Cup Final, that includes two fallow weekends during the Guinness Premiership play finals, McGeechan said, 'We'll be training full on and we'll be looking to play some rugby as well.'

4.45/5 rDev +25%
pours a clear blonde with minimal, even white head which has long retention and leaves spotted and stringy lacing. smell is amzing. nothing is over the top. its not a citrus blast or just a blonde. its got a noticeable amount of aromatic malts and smooth tree like hops.
taste: has a mellow mix of pine hops and a very potent yeast quality.
mouthfeel: starts oily and ends silky. exactly what i want in a pale ale.
drinkability: this is a very refreshing beer. as well as full flavored and interesting.

From the website:
North American two-row and European Pilsen malts are blended to give a pale straw color and pleasant, dry maltiness. A generous use of Cascade hops lend a crisp, citrus finish.
My review:
The color is very pale, like a pilsner. A clear beer, my glass had a noticeable head and left some lace as I drank it. The aroma also reminded me of a pilsner: the malt was crisp and the hop was light.
Rounder than a lager, this is a very dry brew. The cascade hop is evident. Overall, the beer is far more flavorful than it first appears. The aftertaste is also dry with a slight hop bite. Given the color, this is a fuller bodied beer than expected.
In summary, this is an aled pilsner--quaffable and light.

A: Light amber filtered color with a strong head lasting a while with strong lacing on the glass.
S: Hoppy and sweet with a good touch of citrus and spice.
T: Strong in the hops and citrus spice and has a touch of light caramel malts.
M/D: Light but sticky and dry in the mouth. Very good drinkability I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

A slighly dark straw color with thin looking white head. Doesn't look all that impressive.
Smell: Some pine and citrus, nothing strong or overpowering. Almost like a lager with extra hops.
Taste is nice, clean and crisp. Citrus and pine blend well. A bit thin in the feel, but very drinkable. I liked this one overall.

A Cordele woman was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Kimberly Michelle Banks is charged with using stolen identities on false federal income tax returns.
The 6 count indictment charges Banks with aggravated identity theft and wire fraud.
Federal prosecutors say she used stolen identities to prepare false tax returns which she submitted electronically to the IRS for refunds.
The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Alexander R. Effendi and Justin K. Gelfand of the Justice Department's Tax Division and Michael Solis of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Georgia.
The case was investigated with the assistance of the IRS.

A little girl is wondering why someone would kill her daddy.
"Twenty-eight-year-old Paul Uriate was shot and killed when he was in an argument with three men in the parking lot of his apartment complex near 32nd Street and Thomas," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch.
It was Friday, July 20, 2007 about 9:30 p.m. Several witnesses heard arguing then gunfire and found Uriate on the ground shot in the chest.
Burch said Uriate's daughter was eight at the time and is now 13.
"She's having a hard time, really struggling with the fact that she lost her father and she has no idea why. It's absolutely split up the family and caused such hardship."

Our next case really should have been solved by now. With his distinctive build and fedora hat, someone should recognize this robber from surveillance pictures.
"It was two o'clock in the morning when the suspect entered the Walgreens at 43rd avenue and Glendale," said Burch. "He simulates a weapon, grabs Oxycodone and Oxycontin and leaves."
The reward has been increased to $2500 on this case.

New Scholarship Awarded
Last summer a generous donor provided a legacy for a $1000 scholarship which will be awarded each year to a student who has a business major and is also involved in music at Providence University College. This year the scholarship goes to Brandon Spencer Post. Brandon grew up in Germanic Europe. He plans to use his degrees to work in music recording, with churches & with mission organizations. He notes, "Providence University College has given me the training I need to be effective in all of these areas."
The $25,000 donation that supports this annual scholarship was made to the Winnipeg Foundation and is credited to the Providence Education Fund. In a recent letter, Providence learned that the Winnipeg Foundation has matched the donation with an additional grant of $16,591. The letter also noted that in 2013 Providence is eligible to receive up to $12,897 dollars in matching grants from the Foundation for donations contributed to the Providence Education Fund. The Winnipeg Foundation provides one dollar for every five dollars donated to the Fund. Providence thanks the donor and the Winnipeg Foundation for their generous support to teach people to grow in knowledge and character for leadership and service.

Portland Pirates Add Whitfield, Michaud to Coaching Staff
Former Pirate and Black Bear Players Begin Coaching Careers
Saco, ME – Phoenix Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney and Portland Pirates General Manager and Head Coach Ray Edwards announced today the hiring of Trent Whitfield as an Assistant Coach and Alfie Michaud as Goalie Coach for the Pirates' 2014-15 season.
Whitfield, a 36 year-old Alameda, Saskatchewan native, ended his 16 year professional playing career at the end of the 2013-14 season. He spent parts of seven of those seasons as a player in Portland between 1998 and 2005. Whitfield ranks fourth all-time in Pirates' franchise history in games played (348), goals (102), assists (153), and points (255).
He was selected as the Pirates' Most Valuable Player in 2004-05 after scoring 16-38-54 in 67 games. He was twice voted the Players' Player in 1999-2000 and 2004-05. Whitfield was the recipient of the team's Tom Ebright Award for best exemplifying what it means to be a Portland Pirate in 2002-03. He was selected by fan vote to both the Portland Pirates 10th Anniversary and 20th Anniversary All-Time Teams.
Whitfield has also played 194 National Hockey League games in his career with the Washington Capitals (1999-2002, 2002-04), New York Rangers (2002), St. Louis Blues (2005-06, 2008-09), and Boston Bruins (2009-12), earning a Stanley Cup ring in 2011.
During his playing career, Whitfield also played for the AHL's Peoria Rivermen (2005-09) and Providence Bruins (2009-13), the ECHL's Hampton Roads Admirals (1998-99), and the Bolzano Foxes (2013-14) in the EBEL of Austria.
Originally drafted by Boston in 1996, Whitfield won an IIHF World Junior Championship Gold Medal with Canada in 1997 and was named an AHL All-Star in 2003 and 2013.
"We are excited to welcome Trent Whitfield back into the Pirates family," Edwards said. "His wealth of playing experience and knowledge of the game will be an asset to our coaching staff and our players. He knows what it takes to play the pro game and is excited to teach our players what it takes to be successful every day."
Michaud, a 37 year-old native of Selkirk, Manitoba, also retired as a player at the end of the 2013-14 season. Most Maine hockey fans will know him as the goaltender that backstopped the University of Maine Black Bears to their last NCAA Division I Men's National Championship in 1999. Michaud was named the Most Oustanding Player of that year's NCAA Tournament after stopping 121 of 128 shots in four games, including 46 saves in the national title game, a 3-2 overtime win over the University of New Hampshire Wildcats at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California. In three seasons at Maine, he posted an overall record of 60-26-7.
He went on to play professionally with the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, Manitoba Moose, and Worcester IceCats, the International Hockey League's Kansas City Blades, the ECHL's Reading Royals, Peoria Rivermen, and Utah Grizzlies, as well pro teams in Germany and Denmark.
"Alfie has played the game all around the world and is a real student of the sport," Edwards said. "He'll be able to relate his experience and technical skills to our goalies and make them better. With his background in Maine, we are thrilled he's chosen to begin coaching career with us in Portland."
The Portland Pirates are returning to the Cumberland County Civic Center in 2014-15! Opening night is Saturday, October 11! Ticket packages include Full-Season, Half-Season, the Weekend Pack, the Rivalry Pack, and the Six-Pack Pick 'Em, and all are on sale now. For more information on tickets packages, or to purchase, call 207-PIRATES or go online to portlandpirates.com.

The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) _ Brandon Lloyd spent nine seasons in the NFL without playing in a single postseason game. His wait ends Sunday.
The wide receiver in his first year with the New England Patriots will make his playoff debut against the Houston Texans. So will two five-year veterans, cornerback Aqib Talib and defensive end Trevor Scott.
Before the season, the Patriots signed Lloyd and Scott as free agents. They obtained Talib on Nov. 1 in a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Lloyd said his goal since he was a kid was to play in the Super Bowl and the only way to do that is to make the playoffs. So Sunday's game is just the beginning of a road that he hopes will end with a championship.

Judge rules in IPOC's favor
Date: November 15, 2012
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
A Sarasota judge issued a judgment this week that mandates the town of Longboat Key must hold a referendum of its residents if it wishes to grant future tourism uses within the Islandside gulf-planned development.
Sarasota County Clerk of the 12th Circuit Court Judge Lee Haworth issued the order Wednesday in an Islandside Property Owners Coalition declaratory relief action that challenged the town's code changes that were made in part to make the Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation-and-expansion project clearer under town codes. The appeal moved forward even though the development order for the most recent project application was quashed in August by an appeals court.
IPOC attorney Robert Lincoln argued his client's eight challenges to the town's zoning code changes last month, explaining that amended zoning code changes are not permissible. One of Lincoln's main arguments focused on the use of tourism units at Islandside and whether or not the town can count density in Islandside using both residential and tourism units.
Haworth agreed, stating in his order that only dwelling (residential) units can be counted for purposes of approving future tourism uses, although the town has the ability to approve 245 more residential units in Islandside without triggering a referendum.
In an email to the Longboat Observer, Lincoln wrote, "In short, IPOC won."
Town attorney David Persson didn't disagree with Lincoln's one-line assessment of the judgment.
"My interpretation has been that all units (tourist and dwelling units) should be counted, providing the lowest threshold before a vote was required," Persson said. "I was obviously wrong."
Persson said he will not recommend appealing the judgment and believes future changes to the town's code and a Comprehensive Plan overhaul are necessary.
For more information, pick up a copy of Thursday's Nov. 22 Longboat Observer.

WAYNESBORO, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say a 65-year-old man is dead after fire spread through an assisted living home in eastern Georgia.
Insurance and Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens says the blaze started at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday at the Twin Oaks Assisted Living Home in Waynesboro. One man inside the home, Charles Atkins, was killed.
Investigators say the home was destroyed but six other people inside escaped the flames without injury.
The cause hasn't been determined. But Hudgens' office says investigators are looking at the possibility that the fire was ignited by a cigarette that wasn't extinguished properly.

"There are some indicators that consumers are finding their stride," said Josh Holland, a spokesman for Blue Nile Inc., an online retailer of diamonds and fine jewelry. The Seattle, Washington-based company, founded in 1999, estimates it sells half of all U.S. engagement rings purchased over Internet. "More people bought a Blue Nile diamond engagement ring in the first quarter of 2013 than in any other first quarter in our history."
Signet Jewelers, which sells engagement and wedding rings under Kay and Jared brands, reported an 8.1 percent increase in same-store sales in the U.S. for the 13 weeks ended May 4. Last year, the company recorded a 1.2 percent increase in the comparable period. Investors have been rewarded with a 23 percent increase in Signet shares in the six months through June 14, compared with a 14 percent gain for the S&P 500.
New York-based Martha Stewart Living said advertising revenue from its Weddings magazine rose 6 percent in the first quarter, and it's "encouraged" by the levels seen in April, according to comments by Chief Financial Officer Kenneth P. West during an April 30 conference call with analysts.
Stronger demand is allowing companies to raise prices. The average cost of a wedding dress climbed to $1,211 last year from $1,121 in 2011 and $1,099 in 2010, according to XO Group.
Hollywood is playing a role too. Some couples are inspired by the Roaring Twenties style of opulent parties, rich diets, slinky knee-length dresses, champagne and diamonds, as pictured in "The Great Gatsby," a 3-D movie released earlier this year that stars Leonardo DiCaprio.
"We also see, with pop culture, the release of The Great Gatsby, a revival of looking to things that are nostalgic," Beitler said in a phone interview. "There's been a focus on vintage-style dresses. Lace has been a very large and growing trend."

What is science for a child? How do children learn about science and how to do science? Drawing on a vast array of work from neuroscience to classroom observation, Taking Science to School provides a comprehensive picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a broad range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. Taking Science to School answers such questions as:
The book also provides a detailed examination of how we know what we know about children's learning of science--about the role of research and evidence. This book will be an essential resource for everyone involved in K-8 science education--teachers, principals, boards of education, teacher education providers and accreditors, education researchers, federal education agencies, and state and federal policy makers. It will also be a useful guide for parents and others interested in how children learn.

But even with the situation now, aps-c has many advantages (longer reach, affordable good ultrawides) so that it'll stick around for some time to come simply because smaller sensors will keep being cheaper as larger ones. The Rebels will loose market share to mirrorless, but many people like me won't want to use an evf even if it's a good oneTo take that a step further, the people that use APS-C at the upper levels (think 7D) are people like birders, sports guys, and nature photographers. Few if any of them would adapt to a M4/3rd camera because the EVF and AF limit them in all of those situations. Can't shoot sunrise or sunset shots of animals, because your EVF is dark and hard to see. Can't shoot birds or sports effectively because the AF is too slow.
That's not to say 4/3rds cameras won't solve some of their issues, they will, but there are some pretty major hurdles to climb to cover those use cases. And until they solve them, you won't see APS-C go away.
Also why make EF-S specific primes when Canon can make EF ones, which work for a MUCH broader audience, and when those lenses are pretty small anyway (if the 50mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/2 are too big, get a P+S). They only make EF-S lenses to solve a specific APS-C problem, like UWA (10-22), a high quality lower light zoom (17-55), and light-weight zooms (55-250).

Police Chief Scot Haug tells the Coeur d'Alene Press (http://bit.ly/YrEoLf ) someone called police at about 8 p.m. to report Shannon Germanton had been in the Walmart bathroom for 30 minutes with her children and a gas can. Haug says she told officers she ran out of gas and was expecting someone to pick them up. He says she was acting "a little bizarre, but it was nothing out of the ordinary." Kootenai County Sheriff's Lt. Stu Miller says Germanton told investigators she doesn't remember anything after leaving Walmart. Germanton is charged with two counts of felony injury to a child.
