German Brothers Team Up to Produce "Fascinating" Go Video
Monday February 4, 2013
Two German brothers are collaborating to create a free movie trailer to spread the game of go. Sven Walther is a go player and computer scientist, while his brother Lars is an actor and filmmaker. Sven says he's driven to "inspire people with interesting stuff" while Lars is "wowed by the stories and the drama in a game that appears to be so simple." The brothers have teamed up to crowd-source $8,000 "to make a short video clip, like a movie trailer, to promote the game of go." Rather than explaining the rules of the game, the Walthers intend to work with real actors and real movie people to create a professional clip that will create a "fascinating atmosphere to represent the game. The novice will see it and say 'Whoa, what's that game? Wanna learn more!'" They'll make the video available on YouTube, so anyone "can use it to promote the game wherever you want." With 50 days to go, the duo has already raised just over $2,200 in pledges. With several other professionally-produced shorts – the romantic French go video The Album Leaf Within Dreams (Go Art: Romantic Go Video 12/3/2012 EJ) and the 2012 European Women's Goe Championship promo (The Red Dress Tesuji 8/26/2012 EJ) – already available, and the feature-length documentary The Surrounding Game now in production, a critical mass of go videos seems to be building.
Redmond Cup Open for Registration
Saturday February 2, 2013
Young American go players can now sign up for the 20th annual Redmond Cup Tournament. For the first time, the tourney will be held on KGS instead of IGS. There are two divisions in the Cup; the Junior league for kids under 12 years old, and the Senior league for those under 18, on August 10 2012. The two finalists in each division win a free trip to the 2013 US Go Congress to play the final games in person. Competitors in the Senior League must have an AGA rank of 1 dan or higher, in the Junior 5 kyu or stronger. The participants must be members of the American Go Association or the Canadian Go Association and either residents of the U.S., Canada or Mexico, or citizens of the United States living anywhere in the world, provided that they are also members of the AGA. The tournament director for the Redmond Cup is Michael Bull; AGA rules for all games. To register e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, phone #, date of birth, AGA rating, KGS ID, and citizenship. The registration deadline is March 10, 2013. The Cup is sponsored by Michael Redmond 9P and his family, the American Go Association and the American Go Foundation. Photo: 2012 finalists, Jianing Gan 7d (l), and Calvin Sun 7d(r) compete at the US Go Congress in Black Mountain, NC. – Paul Barchilon, Youth Editor.
SGFs and iStuff
Friday February 1, 2013
When I was reviewing Weiqi2Go (Weiqi2Go Update 1/29 EJ) and discovered that there was no "Import" function, I thought it strange. I assumed that most go apps include this function, but it turns out that a good sgf reader is surprisingly hard to find. Most apps just save the records the user creates. I found only two programs that allow the user to import games: Smart Go Kifu, priced at $19.99; and EasyGo, priced at $11.99. It's easier to import a large number of files into EasyGo; Smart Go Kifu only lets you do one at a time. On the other hand, Smark Go Kifu already contains a library of 40,000 games, as well as a way to record your games, a tutorial, a pretty strong playing program, 2,000 problems, 30 annotated games, a joseki matching feature, and more. You can also purchase and read many classics from Smart Go Books. Seems worth the extra cost unless you really need to import large databases.
What if you just want a free app to look at your sgfs? For now, it seems there is only one option. It's a little clunky, but it works. Here's how:
1. Install the latest version of Panda-Tetsuki, Pandanet's client for The Internet Go Server client, on your device.
2. Install Dropbox on your device.
3. On your desktop, move the files you want to review to a directory in Dropbox.
4. Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
5. Open Dropbox on your device, find the sgf you want to view and click on it.
6. A window will open with a button containing the Pand-Tetsuki icon. Click on it.
7. Voila! The game appears onscreen.
You need to be connected to the Internet to load a game, and you can't save sgfs in Tetsuki, so if you have 3G great, but Wi-Fi has its limits. I guess if you're serious enough about go to collect game records, you'll have to spend a few bucks.
Thanks to Tomasz Podolec for pointing out the Dropbox connection.

Kuwait agrees to invest Gulf War reparations in Iraq's south
By Ali Latif
Azzaman, November 6, 2012
The Kuwaiti government will not drop claims to 1991 Gulf War reparations from Iraq but has decided to invest the money it receives in southern Iraqi provinces, particularly in Basra.
Under 1991 Gulf War U.N. resolutions, Iraq is obliged to pay reparations for countries, companies and individuals harmed by its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
Iraq has so far paid more than $36 billion in war reparations, $25 billion of them have gone to pay for damage inflicted on Kuwait.
Many countries and companies, under U.S. pressure, dropped claims for reparations when the regime of Saddam Hussein was overthrown in 2003, when U.S. troops invaded Iraq.
But Kuwait says it will not relinquish claims to reparations and says it needs Iraq to pay it an additional sum of $18 billion.
However, it says it does not intend to keep the money but it will invest it in impoverished Iraqi provinces in the south, mainly the neighboring Province of Basra.
The move is certain to improve ties between the countries, though the government in Baghdad is still waiting for details from Kuwait on its investment plans in Iraq.

Roshon Fegan Talks About His Relationship with 'DWTS' Partner Chelsie Hightower [AUDIO]
Disney star Roshon Fegan called in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" on Thursday to tell us how you could dance with him at your Perfect Quinceanera or Sweet Sixteen party and talks "Dancing with the Stars," and his "thing" with partner Chelsie Hightower.
On "Dancing with the Stars":
Roshon had a good run on 'DWTS,' but was eliminated last week. So, does he miss being on the show? "I miss it a little bit. I don't miss getting up in the morning and dancing," he tells us. Every season on the show romance rumors swirl…Did Roshon have a "thing" with Chelsie? "It was a thing, until it turned into much of a dance thing and then I was like: 'I'm done with this thing.' You got to keep your eyes on the prize for the Mirror Ball, so you can win and not get distracted that's how I looked at it," he says.
'DWTS' Maria Menounos & Derek Hough Clear Up Dating Rumors
The Perfect Quinceanera or Sweet Sixteen
You could enter to win The Perfect Quinceanera or Sweet Sixteen. In addition to winning all kinds of cool stuff, Roshon will give you your first dance at your party. He says: "You could start off with a slow dance, you know, I'm such a great dancer these days because I know all these styles. I could do the waltz or the cha cha." Plus, Roshon will also perform a few songs. "I'll definitely be performing a lot of songs and having a great time. The lucky winner is going to be very happy, it's going to be fun."

Shaw's Agave [Agave shawii Engelm.]
Listing CNPS List 2 R-E-D Code 3-3-1
State/Federal. Status -- /C2 AGAVACEAE Sep.-May
Global Rank G3 State Rank S1.2
Distribution: San Diego County; Baja California, Mexico
Habitat: Coastal Diegan Sage Scrub and Maritime Succulent Scrub are the two U.S. habitats utilized by this agave (Marina coarse loamy sand is mapped at Border Field). South of the U.S. border Shaw's Agave is often found on volcanic soils in a distinctive and quite diverse succulent scrub with Bergerocactus emoryi and Ferocactus viridescens. Shrubs here are low-growing and habitat is quite open.
Known Sites: A small population still grows at Border Field State Park within meters of Mexico. Intense fire at this site could pose a threat. It has been introduced at Cabrillo National Monument, Torrey Pines, and other locales such as the national wildlife refuge headquarters in Imperial Beach. A few plants occur naturally just south of Point Loma College. Data Base reports a vigorous population south of the Point Loma College site near the Fleet Combat Training Center west of Woodward Road.
Shaw's Agave is an abundant sometimes dominant shrub of the northern Baja coast, growing by the many thousands. North of Ensenada, near La Fonda, it covers hundreds of acres. Thirty-one specimens are deposited at the San Diego Natural History Museum's herbarium; south to 28 41' North latitude where collected by Clemons (SD 118992) north of Guerrero Negro.
Status: Shaw's Agave is almost extirpated in the U.S. and should be reintroduced at selected coastal sites utilizing native seed as source material. All existing sites should be protected.

From Green Right Now Reports
United Natural Foods, Inc. today announced plans to adopt hydrogen fuel cell technology to power the lift truck fleet at its Sarasota, Fla., distribution center. The company said it expects to employ 65 GenDrive fuel cell powered lift trucks by June. The company will add 29 new hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to its fleet, and retrofit 36 others.
As part of the Sarasota initiative to replace lead acid batteries and their associated charging equipment with hydrogen fuel cells, United Natural Foods said it has partnered with a number of companies to implement the roll-out, including Plug Power Inc., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and Abel Womack, Inc.
Hydrogen fuel cell produces energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen in an electrochemical reaction that yields electricity, heat and water. Hydrogen is non-toxic, non-poisonous, the lightest of all gases and the most abundant element in the universe. By converting its Sarasota lift truck fleet to hydrogen fuel cells, the company said it expects carbon emissions will be reduced by approximately 132 metric tons annually, an amount equivalent to the annual emissions of 35 automobiles.
"We consider environmental stewardship an essential component in every facet of our business. This hydrogen fuel cell project is further proof of UNFI's leadership as an environmentally-conscious organization by advancing the use and development of alternative-fuel technologies," Steve Spinner, UNFI's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
The 352,000 square-foot Sarasota facility, which employs approximately 160 workers, serves as a regional distribution hub for customers in the Southeastern United States.

He was charged with resisting arrest with violence, a felony that would have spelled deportation. Though Cheng wrote in a letter to the judge that her husband had "lived a life of bullying and deceiving," von Houtman escaped with a misdemeanor battery conviction and probation.
The baron is more boastful than apologetic when he recalls that night of violence. After a police officer reached for his pepper spray, says von Houtman, "I told him, 'I eat that stuff for breakfast.' I left the cops lying in a pool of blood. They would later say that if they knew who I was, they would've brought ten officers."
These days, von Houtman says he dates a 23-year-old model who is a former fling of actor Colin Farrell. And the roots of his wealth remain opaque. He claims he has inherited a fortune from his family: His mother, Dorothy, was heiress to the Blue Bonnet margarine company (New Times was unable to verify that claim with ConAgra Foods, the conglomerate that now owns the brand). Von Houtman's claim of a military career, which he says included "jumping out of planes into deserts and jungles" for Britain and Israel, was lucrative — but, naturally, top-secret.
Von Houtman's registered Florida enterprises include only sponsorship of a low-level dirt biker, according to state files, and ownership of two active companies: Baron Global Industries LLC and Royal Global LLC. Both are "commodity trading enterprises" whose addresses are listed as von Houtman's 4,000-square-foot Isle of Venice town home in Fort Lauderdale. "I broker jet fuel and oil deals with foreign countries," he explains, without giving any associates' names. "The government contacts I made through my military work have been very useful."
Despite his diamond jewelry and multiple exotic vehicles, public records show he is not without financial trouble. American Express is suing him for $440,514.96 that the company claims he owes on a black, or no-limit, card issued to him in 2006. And the Isle of Venice crib, which he purchased in 2007 for $1.85 million, is in foreclosure.
In short, the baron is perhaps not unique in flash-is-everything South Florida. But people like him don't often land partnerships with top-tier sports stars.
The young baller married his longtime girlfriend, Siohvaughn, in 2002, and they had two boys, Zion and Zaire. He was picked fifth by the Heat in the 2003 draft, before his senior year at Marquette University. Even as his national stock rose in 2006, when he helped lead the Heat to a championship, Wade's earnest and humble interviews never revealed a trace of prima donna.
In 2007, Wade was named Father of the Year by the National Father's Day Committee, which honored those dads who showed "high accomplishment in their chosen fields... and enormous achievement as parents." Perhaps the committee has had better classes: Among Wade's co-honorees were infidelity icons Hulk Hogan and John Edwards.
Wade founded a children's charity, Wade's World Foundation, and partnered with a similar group run by then-teammate Alonzo Mourning. He focused on mentoring poor inner-city children. "I always said that if I got the opportunity to do something for kids that wasn't done for me, I would do that," he told New Times at a June charity event at the Overtown Youth Center. "Our whole focus is to deal with kids like me growing up — kids from broken homes, kids that can't see no further than the dirt outside of their house — and give them an opportunity to see the world and understand that there's a bigger picture."
Wade entrusted the business of profiting from his fame to a childhood friend, Marcus Andrews, who is president of Wade Global Enterprises LLC. In 2007, Wade earned an estimated $12 million in endorsements, putting him at number ten on Fortune magazine's list of most marketable athletes.
Which is to say that Wade's reputation was worth hundreds of millions of dollars when the baron met Andrews in late 2006 through a third party. (Andrews declined to be interviewed, but in response to von Houtman's myriad claims, he responded only: "Not true!") Von Houtman says he was initially offered the chance to buy the rights to Wade's likeness for T-shirt production. The cost: $1 million. "I had no idea who Dwyane Wade was at the time," the baron recalls. "I assumed he was a rapper. When I looked into him and realized he had the potential to be a megastar, I immediately wanted to get my hooks into him."
The T-shirt concept met an early demise. Wade had a clothing contract with Converse, says von Houtman. But the conversation evolved to include a chain of Hard Rock Café-like restaurants, complete with memorabilia and clothing stores. A group of restaurateurs joined the project, most prominently Mark Rodberg, co-owner in Bucky's Bar-B-Que in Boca Raton and Bucky's Grill in Fort Lauderdale.


text: @Monika - Yeah, I'm not surprised by the price difference either. I actually don't think it really matters which one you choose though, because in my opinion, a chimney is a chimney. I guess it just comes down to how much money you want to spend on brick chimney construction.

Here are 11 examples of different types of articles to write for magazines – including round ups, profiles, and "how to" articles. Perfect for freelance writers who need to spark their creativity and get more article assignments.
If you're serious about writing for magazines, get a subscription to Writer's Digest magazine. The more you soak up writing – including the business of writing – the easier it'll be to get familiar with the types of magazine articles you can write for magazines.
Here's a tip from Natalie Goldberg about writing discipline – because having the discipline to write is the key to a successful writing career. "I hear people say they're going to write. I ask, when? They give me vague statements," writes Goldberg in Thunder and Lightning: Cracking Open the Writer's Craft. "Indefinite plans get dubious results."
Have you made a specific plan for your writing goals? If not, now's the time.
11 Types of Magazine Articles
How-to Articles:
- Make a rousing promise of success
- Describe what you need in easy to follow instructions
- Give step-by-step directions (sometimes with subtitles)
- Include shortcomings or warnings
- Tell how to locate supplies
- Give proofs and promises
- Make referrals to other sources
The How-to Article. Examples of the how to article are: "How to Write Articles for Magazines" or "How Freelance Writers Earn a $100,000 Every Year" or "How to Think Like an Editor – 8 Tips for Writers." How to articles are my favorite type of feature articles — they simply tell readers how to do something.
Profile and Interview Articles:
- Have different definitions. In a profile, you use additional sources, such as friends, family, kids, neighbors, colleagues. In a profile, you interview the source him or herself.
- Can have a theme or focus.
- Can be presented as a "Q & A" or a written article.
- Require strong interviewing skills for the "best" information
The Profile or the Interview. Examples of profiles or interview articles are: "The Real Natalie Goldberg and Her Real Writing Career" or "Anne Lamott Shares Her Secrets for Writing Different Types of Magazine Articles." Profiles and interview are two different types of magazine articles to write.
Informative or Service Articles:
- Focus on one unique aspect, or the "handle"
- Describe what-to, how-to, when-to, why-to, etc.
- Answer the journalist's who, what, when, where, why, and how questions
- Can end with a "how-to" piece as a sidebar
The Informative or Service Article. Examples of this type of magazine article include: "How to Write Query Letters for Magazines" or "When to Find an Agent for Your Book" or "11 Types of Magazine Articles to Write for Magazines."
The Exposé:
- Shocks or surprises readers
- Includes statistics, quotes, anecdotes
- Can range from how extension cords can kill to new info on Watergate
The Exposé. Examples of an expose magazine article are: "Stephen King's Ghostwriter Reveals Secret Writing Career" or "95% of Natalie Goldberg's Writing is From a Ghostwriter!" Those aren't actual feature articles — an expose is simply a type of magazine article.
Human Interest Magazine Articles:
- Usually start with an anecdote
- Are often chronologically organized
The Human Interest article. Examples of human interest magazine articles are: "Anne Lamott Share Her Experience as a Single Working Writer" or "Mark Twain's Great-Grandaughter Finds Her Writing Niche." This type of feature article interests the majority of readers of a particular magazine.
Essay or Opinion Articles:
- Usually revolve around an important or timely subject (if they're to be published in a newspaper or "serious" magazine)
- Are harder to sell if you're an unknown or unpublished writer
- Can be found on blogs all over the internet!
The Essay or Opinion Piece. Examples of this type of magazine article are: "What I Think of Natalie Goldberg's Decision to Retire From Her Writing Career" or "Anne Lamott's Writing Mistakes."
If you have no ideas so you're freaking out about these types of magazine articles, read How to Write When You Have No Ideas.
Humor or Satire Articles:
- Usually have a specific audience, such as the readers of The Onion
- Are usually written on spec (that is, you submit the whole article before the editors or publishers will accept it)
Humor or Satire (the most difficult types of magazines articles to write). Examples of humor or satire include: "Ode to Stephen King's Typewriter" or "What Margaret Laurence Ate the Day She Started Writing Articles for Magazines."
Inspirational Magazine Articles:
- Describe how to feel good or how to do good things
- Can describe how to feel good about yourself – this type of article can work for anyone from writers to plumbers to pilots
- Offer a moral message
- Focus on the inspirational point
The Inspirational Article. Examples of inspirational articles are: "How You Can Change the World With Your Writing Career" or "13 Tips to Improve Your Writing Confidence." This is probably my second most favorite type of feature article to write.
Historical Articles:
- Reveal events of interest to millions (which means at least one of my examples wouldn't work as this type of article)
- Focus on a single aspect of the subject
- Are organized chronologically
- Tell readers something new
- Go beyond history to make a current connection
The Historical Article. Examples of this type of magazine article include: "The Typewriter Mark Twain First Used" or "How Freelance Writers Submitted Articles Before Typewriters Were Invented."
Round-Up Magazine Articles:
- Gather a collection from many sources
- Focus on one theme
- Offer quotations, opinions, statistics, research studies, anecdotes, recipes, etc.
The Round-Up (one of my favorite types of magazine articles to write). Examples of round up articles are: "12 Fiction Writing Tips From Authors and Editors" or "1,001 Types of Articles to Write for Magazines." This is my favorite article to write because I can squeeze in lots of information in 1,000 words.
Research Shorts:
- Describe current scientific information
- Are usually less than 250 words long
- Are often written on spec (at least by me)
- Are fast, effective ways to earn money as a freelance writer – if you can find the right markets
Research Shorts for the "Front of the Book." Examples of front of the book articles for magazines include: "How Alliteration Affects Your Memory" or "What Anne Lamott's Writing Does to Your Brain Waves." Shorts aren't really a type of magazine article, but they're a great way to get your foot in the door and learn what articles editors will pay to publish.

How the Heck Do You 'Wassail'? Top Five Food and Drink Related Holiday Carols
Wikipedia |
2. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"
We've all sung along to "Oh, bring us a figgy pudding," but be honest -- who in hell would want fig pudding? Sounds worse than fruitcake. But the folks in 16th-century England sure dug it. It's baked, steamed, boiled, or fried holiday pudding made with dark sugars, spices, and, well, figs. And sometimes it's set aflame, which certainly makes the whole concept more exciting. For the curious, there are lots of recipes on Pinterest.
1. "The Christmas Song"
Who doesn't love chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Besides the fact that chestnuts are, in fact, marvelously delicious, this song lends itself to so many hilarious parodies. And despite a lack of working fireplaces in South Florida, these NYC street treats can be made on the stovetop, so eat up.

In a taste of things to come–and perhaps a clue why its working so hard on that custom Linux UI–HP will release three editions of its netbooks to match the Windows 7 licensing maze that Microsoft announced last week. From Wired:
Leave it to Microsoft to make netbooks complicated.
It appears likely the tech giant will offer three different versions of Windows 7 for netbooks. HP officials told Computer World about its plans to offer three different configurations of Windows 7 for netbooks, which suggests Microsoft will roll out this structure for other companies' netbooks as well.
Though MS claimed that only two of the six/seven editions announced would be of interest to consumers, the low price of netbooks makes it impossible for manufacturers to resist offering one with the crippled Windows 7 "Starter" edition, which allows only three programs to be run at once. But if you're going to do that, why not also make a special Pro edition netbook, too?

will my bulbs be late or no-show since I planted late?
I didn't move up here to the north (from Florida) until right before Christmas. I was happy to find nice, healthy looking bulbs right after Christmas at a garden center and I planted them right after buying. Since everyone else's crocuses and daffodils have stirred and even tulip leaves are up, I am wondering about mine. Will they bloom just later or am I not going to see them this year? I planted them in window boxes except for the daffodils. I have only found one daffodil (out of the fifteen) that is starting to poke out. I checked the box of the crocuses to see if they were still there or if critters had gotten them and they seem to be there and have roots growing out of them, but as of yet, no top growth.
I'm still a novice myself but my bulb foliage isn't poking through the ground at an even rate. Daffs, Tulips, Hyacinth, Iris Reticulata, Crocus, Pushkinia, Squill...some of each are up and some of each not...right in the same beds or containers. I'm not privy to the inner workings of each bulb and they seem to have their own individual internal clocks.
No doubt much more experienced bulb people can say with more certainty or "informed maybe" what's going on.
The linked Bulb Guide says you might need to prechill some bulbs in Zone 7 but don't know if it's necessity since I don't garden there.
If you scroll down on the linked page you'll see the optimal planting times for Spring blooming bulbs.
Don't know what kind of Tulips you have but different varieties bloom at different times...early, mid and late Spring.
I should've had my bulbs in the ground by November but had some still in bags at end of December so planted them. Some are coming up and others aren't. Better to plant than toss as long as you can work soil (or use containers which I do with some bulbs) as they might give you bloom next year if some don't bloom this year.
You just have to make sure they have good drainage so they don't rot until next next year.
Last year in late Spring I took a lot of bulbs out of beds to rearrange some things and containers since I needed them to plant annuals. I carefully tipped bulbs out of containers onto newspaper and took them out of soil with as much top growth and roots as I could manage. The Tulip bulbs were mostly rotted so had to toss them...didn't know about keeping soil very well draining then. Daff bulbs were mostly fine. I got an old laundry basket with side holes from my recycling center, lined it with newspaper and "planted" the bulbs in the basket using the container potting mixed lightened with some perlite. Kept watering until foliage died back and then just moved entire basket up against house for rest of year until December. When I tipped the laundry basket over the Daff bulbs had LONG roots. I scurried around to find a place to replant them and just hoped for the best. Turns out there were a few Tulip & Hyacinth bulbs in there too but most have started to throw up foliage. I was lucky enough to have much of those long roots intact. Just luck and desperation...no horticultural sure footedness here. :)
Still, it's going to be "wait and see" unless someone with Zone 7 experience can tell you definitively if any of your bulbs needed prechilling...if you didn't buy prechilled bulbs to start with.
Good luck...hope something sprouts for you this year.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ames Bulb Guide
Well I don't think I needed pre-chilling since we have had a cold winter here with lots of days and even more nights below freezing. In fact, we were having below freezing temperatures right up to a few nights ago. Our frost free dates is somewhere between mid APril and early May. Our area has been very dry until just recently so I don't think bulb rot would be a problem. In fact I had to lightly water a few times because of so little water. The bulbs I saw still looked good and not soft.
Don't worry; bulbs are often a bit late to sprout their first year because they are busy growing roots and getting settled. They are even later when they are planted late. I plant up to mid-January every year and 90% of my bulbs come up fine, just not on time.
For example, I've had established crocus and dwarf iris blooming for at least a week or two, but the ones planted last year are just barely poking up, and the late-planted ones are MIA. No sign yet of Early Sensation daffodil, though the Chromacolors I planted fall 2007 are already 6-7 inches tall.
Next spring your late bloomers will settle into their usual routines and come up on time!

MEDFORD, Ore. – A shooting suspect showed up to the Medford Police Department to provide a statement regarding his involvement in a weekend shooting.
Police say an argument between two men led to one trying to shoot the other in the face. The shooting occurred on Mace Road at around 1:45 Saturday morning.
Police say the suspect tried to shoot the victim in the face with a handgun. The victim says that shot missed, lightly grazing him causing minor head injuries that didn't require medical attention.
The victim was still on the scene when the police arrived, but the suspect had fled on foot. Police collected a shell casing on scene.
"It doesn't sound like it's a random act, it sounds like these two knew each other," said Medford Police Sergeant Kerry Curtis. "Uncertain what the dispute was over, it was a verbal argument."
Police say the suspect came into the police station Sunday morning. Soon after, officers released him. Officers aren't releasing names of the involved parties because the investigation is still pending.

Water-Heater Flushing Tool Overview
This is another of those RV accessories that should come standard with every RV water heater. It is an indispensable tool that enables the user to be able to thoroughly clean accumulated debris from the bottom of the RV water heater tank. You will notice that by simply draining the water from the water heater there is about an inch of residual water that will not drain as the drain plug is about an inch higher than the bottom of the tank.
With the use of the RV Water Heater Flushing Tool you will be able to flush out trapped sediments which lay below your water heaterÕs drain line.
The Problem
Hard water deposits are the prime cause of RV water heater tank failure after only 4-7 years of average tank life. By allowing the sediment to accumulate on the bottom of the water tank, it will eventually deteriorate the tank bottom and walls requiring its eventual costly replacement.
The Solution
Flushing your water heater tank twice a year helps prolong tank life by washing away harmful sediments. With the use of the RV Water Heater Flushing Tool the owner is able to easily flush all of the sediment from the sides and bottom of the hot water heater tank Molded plastic construction never rusts.
Installation and Operation
The 13 inch long RV Water Heater Flushing Tool simply connects to your fresh water hose and features a handy on / off valve. Just drain the water heater as described in the Tech Talk entitled Flushing (Winterizing) Hot Water Heater. Following that, insert the RV Water Heater Flushing Tool into drain hole and flush out sediment. Let the water run for several minutes until clear water is flowing out of the drain hole.
This process should be done at least twice a year, unless you are in an area, such as the Southwest, where the water is particularly hard, in which case this should be performed every couple of months to prolong the life of your water tank.

I think in your excitement over this awesome talent change you didn't truly describe it correctly. If you are taken below 35% the hit is reduced, no longer leapfrogged. If you would die it heals u up to 30% of your health based on def ( I believe this is a direct try at blizzard to keep it away from prot healing, the reduction is still nice of course, but you won't get the free auto rez without def).
