Conservation Easements Program No Longer Just Preserves Grasslands but, Keeps Plots in Production
By Leslie Reed, Omaha World-Herald, Neb.
Jul. 25–ALDA, Neb. — An unusual agreement on a 150-acre field near the Platte River has helped a young farmer purchase his first tract of land and the Nature Conservancy to protect habitat for whooping cranes and other migratory birds.
The conservation easement on Troy Rainforth's soybean field is unusual because it allows wildlife habitat to also be farmed, said John T. Heaston of Cozad, Neb., director of the Nature Conservancy's Platte River Program.
Heaston said such agreements could become a valuable tool in efforts to restore as much as 29,000 acres of wildlife habitat under the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, which involves Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and the federal government.
The Rainforth field is located about 15 miles southwest of Grand Island. Rainforth had rented it since 2000 from a Grand Island businessman who later sold it to the Nature Conservancy.
Buying the land from the conservancy, Rainforth saved perhaps $600 per acre, reflecting the reduced value of property that now cannot be developed for homes or business.
"I'm in it for the farming. I'm not a developer. I'm not an investor," Rainforth said. "I'm not saying this is a hot spot for development, but it might be in the future. But we both got what we wanted. I got a piece of ground I had been farming."
In essence, the agreement allows land to be sold with permanent restrictions on the rights to develop it.
Conservation easements commonly have been used to preserve prairie grasslands and forests. Less commonly, they have been used to protect cropland from encroaching suburban development.
This agreement allows Rainforth to use the land for a wide array of agricultural purposes, including hunting, irrigation and grazing.
To protect the birds' habitat, Rainforth can't build a house on the land or allow someone to put up a cell phone tower. He can't sell the topsoil, dig a sand pit or mine the land.
The Nature Conservancy's Heaston said he envisions that similar easements could be used to restore Platte River habitat without taking farmland out of production.
Jerry Kenny and Bruce Sackett of the state-federal Platte River recovery program said 10,000 acres must be set aside for habitat by 2015. They hope to use a combination of land purchases, long-term leases and easements to reach that goal.
Though Rainforth's land is not part of the first phase of the Platte recovery effort, it may count toward the goal in later phases, Heaston said. The plan envisions 2,500-acre "complexes" of riverbeds, wetlands and buffering croplands flanking the river between Lexington and Chapman.
Heaston said farming is compatible with cranes and other migratory birds that like to roost in flat cropland and eat waste grain left in the field.
Rainforth said the birds don't interfere with farming because they migrate through the area before spring planting and after fall harvest.
Rob Robertson, government liaison for the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, said use of conservation easements is a growing trend that can benefit young farmers as well as the environment.
"Land availability and affordability is the biggest hurdle for young producers today in getting into agriculture," Robertson said.
However, he advises people to carefully read the fine print and consider the ramifications of an easement before signing. It could affect the long-term value of the land, he said.
Heaston said the new wrinkle with the Rainforth easement made it time-consuming to develop. It was difficult to get an appraisal of the land's value with and without the easement. An appraiser eventually estimated the land was worth $2,400 per acre without the easement and $1,800 with it.
But land values began to shoot up to near $3,000 per acre while the land was for sale.
The Nature Conservancy decided against re-appraising the land. Because the group had vowed to sell to a local owner if possible, it rejected bids from out-of-state investors that were $400 to $500 an acre higher than the approximately $2,400 per acre that Rainforth paid.
Rainforth, 32, lives in a subdivision near Doniphan with his wife and toddler daughter. He works with his father and two older brothers to farm about 4,000 acres in the Alda and Doniphan areas. Some of the land is rented and some is owned by family. Although each controls his own land, the four share labor.
Chad Nabity, regional planning director for Hall County and the City of Grand Island, said easements can be a concern to local government officials who fear that they could prevent growth in property tax values by restricting development.
However, local officials approved the Rainforth easement because it was consistent with development plans and they were pleased to see the land sold to a local resident.
"It's a piece of property that we'd like to see maintained in agricultural production," Nabity said. "We don't foresee any urbanized development there, and for the foreseeable future, we don't want any urbanized development there."

It's always a nice surprise to find a property that can perfectly meet so many needs: hunting, horses or cattle, and if you have a hankering to live in the country, a beautifully hidden home site. At 55 acres (M/L) this property is just the right size. Bounded on two sides with asphalt roads, it's only three miles to Comanche, Oklahoma, on Highway 53. Dry Creek runs through the northeast corner of the property. The creek may not run year around, but it gives great cover for deer, wild hogs and turkeys, and plentiful dove. Put in a tree stand and gain a clear line of sight over one of the many deer trails. There is abundant, lush grass over much of the land and can be leased for grazing. Mature pecan trees shade most of the balance.

The Plenty Good Enuf Farm Folks, here is a very good sandy land farm that will fit into a lot of budgets. This nearly level to gently rolling tract is exactly the type that benefits greatly by the newer methods of farmingmeaning the adoption of no till and the use of chemicals to control weeds instead of tillage. There once was a time when wind erosion would have been a concern for soils like this but no more. This is the kind of sand that still holds the moisture to make it through most dry spells and still produce. If youre looking for a dry land wheat farm that could be rotated to cotton once in a while or perhaps even a tract for alfalfa, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. This is a good place.

Video: Cordarrelle Patterson's 'flash'
July, 27, 2013
By Kevin Seifert | ESPN.com
MANKATO, Minn. -- I noted Friday evening that rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson made the highlight catch of the Minnesota Vikings' first day of training camp, albeit with the help of some poor defensive coverage. In this training video, you'll get a better sense of Patterson's personality and appreciate the brakes he applied when given multiple opportunities to fulfill the stereotypical role of confident wide receivers.
Patterson, of course, did acknowledge that his nickname is "Flash" and that he believes his personal style is so superior that "once I step out, my friends don't want to hang with me" because he looks too good.
He also made clear that when he makes his first big NFL catch, he will "do something flashy to make sure everybody know me."

The mystery on Cernan V
Has anyone else found a weird anomaly while doing the Labor Day mission on Cernan V?
I scanned the area around the T-shaped miners' building and my scans keeping pointing back towards it. I concluded that either the anomaly is inside the building itself or on the roof. I climbed as high as I could on a rocky ledge by one corner but the ledge is 3 feet higher than my jump.
It looks at this point to be a bug but it's ironic: Cryptic, we need more challenges and puzzles like this! Maybe something that requires cooperation from two or more players to solve? :confused:
I had the same issue. Couldn't find where that anomaly is.
It's inside the building, and unreachable.
There's also a space map where one of the anomalies is outside the boundry of the map, an exploration map where the system is made up of a perfectly straight line of about 150 asteroid mines, and another where the "planet" you need to beam down to is a sun (that one made me laugh) :D
Theres several missions where its in the geometry and you cant get it. Theres a mission in 15 or so from that one youll come across one sticking 1/8 out of the ground, but you cant get it heh.
It is there, but it's difficult to reach and not at all obvious. It's in some difficult terrain behind the building.

Touble in Green Bean Paradise
itsmekarakApril 11, 2007
Hi Everyone! I planted Kentucky Wonder green beans about a month ago and they have doing wonderful shooting to a nice 4" now. However, about three days ago I noticed brown spots on the leaves. Initially I thought it was just dried dirt from the recent storms, however, today I got down and realized it was something more. Not all the plants have been hit by this and not sure what it is. My guess is that it is a fungus and might be due to too much water, however, I only water my beans about once, sometimes twice (if real hot) a week allowing the ground to dry out first. It did get down to 34F the other night however I covered them with 5 gallon containers to protect them. Any thoughts? Thanks Yall! - Kara

Building Security:
Security Responsibilities for Federally Owned and Leased Facilities
GAO-03-8: Published: Oct 31, 2002. Publicly Released: Nov 14, 2002.

(202) 512-4232
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This report responds to a Congressional request for information regarding critical infrastructure protection within the federal government. In May 1998, Presidential Decision Directive 63 was issued with the intent to eliminate any significant vulnerability to both physical and cyber attacks on the nation's critical infrastructure. It makes every department and agency of the federal government responsible for protecting its own critical physical infrastructure. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) and all 22 of the agencies GAO reviewed have some role in providing security for office space, although the degree of involvement varied from agency to agency. Other types of security responsibilities include performing security assessments, providing security funding, providing security forces and security technology, and coordination of security efforts among and within agencies. Eleven of the 22 agencies stated that they had completed security assessments on all their facilities since 1995. Nine agencies reported that they were still doing security assessments on their buildings. Two agencies are located in General Service Administration (GSA) space only and GSA is responsible for the security assessments. The agencies provide security using a combination of security forces and security technologies. Security forces are comprised of federal security forces and contract security guards. Examples of security technologies implemented include closed circuit television, X-ray machines, magnetometers and window protection features. The President initially allocated $8.6 million of the $40 billion from the Fiscal Year 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States to the Federal Buildings Fund, administered by GSA, to provide increased security for federal buildings. The main coordination groups identified as providing coordination among agencies were ISC, the Office of Homeland Security, the Federal Protective Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The impediments to improving security for federal buildings cited by the agencies in the review included difficulty getting lessors to allow federal agencies to implement strengthened security measures in their buildings, and insufficient funding and staff.

Hoenigman was servicing Melis's trees one day when he mentioned that he and the greater arboriculture technical community were struggling to find better ways to quantify and understand the biomechanics of tree failure. They wanted to know how trees fail under hurricanes, ice and snow loads, but attempts at finding a comprehensive way to measure and analyze the data weren't adequate. NASA Glenn Engineer Matt Melis looks at data being generated by stereo photogrammetry equipment during tree biometrics research. Image Credit: NASA

Tree failure has caused billions of dollars in damage to buildings and the infrastructure of utilities. Understanding how trees fail under the strains of extreme weather is critical for arborists as they work with businesses to find solutions to reduce damage. This includes learning to properly prune trees, without destroying their vitality, to resist loads from snow and wind.
Melis had just the answer-stereo photogrammetry-technology he used during the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation. "Stereo photogrammetry is the science of analyzing sets of stereo images with computer software to accurately calculate full-field 3-D deformation and strains in the structures we test," explains Melis. "NASA Glenn is the biggest user of this technology in the agency. We use it for measuring structural response on a great many things we test in our day-to-day work. The technique is used on anything from full component testing down to a fundamental materials sample test."
But how would this technology be used to capture the deformation of full-grown trees? Melis told Hoenigman that he only needed a can of white paint and a can of black. Black and white dot patterns are painted on the test articles to enable the software to better track the structural motion. Research trees were whitewashed and black dots were applied so computer-imaging equipment could capture the stress points as the tree was pulled by a winch. Image Credit: NASA
› View Large Image
One day Melis and some of his co-workers conducted a demonstration to a nationwide group of foresters and arborists to show how the technique could be used to measure deformations in the root, trunk, branch and canopy elements of a tree. For example, photogrammetry captured all the data when branches were pulled until they broke and the tree was shaken to see how the canopy swayed back and forth as if in a windstorm.
The demonstration was a technical first in tree biomechanics and it would open up a new horizon for this scientific community.
The project worked so well that last year, researchers at the Morton Arboretum near Chicago proposed a grant to the Tree Fund, an organization devoted to funding tree research and education in arboriculture and urban forestry. The Tree Fund awarded the grant to Morton, which was used to fund a Space Act Agreement to bring Melis and NASA Langley engineer Justin Littell to the arboretum to conduct a week-long collaborative photogrammetry research study at their research tree farm. The effort would focus on capturing deformation and strains in tree trunks and root structures.
"Part of the experiment was showing we could generate consistent data," says Melis. To prepare the trees for testing, the bark was stripped off and whitewashed up to 12 feet. Black dots were then painted on the white trunks, which enables computer software to accurately track the deformation of the trees as they were slowly pulled from the top with a winch.
As Morton continues to analyze their data, one thing was clear early in the experiments. Knots and malformations in the trunk represented weak points that tended to fail more frequently.
An additional set of experiments was conducted examining the root structure deformation of the trees. "We plotted out a 12' x 12' section of ground surrounding the tree and placed dozens of dots on the ground," says Melis. "Then we pulled the tree down and measured the deformation of the ground and root plate to a high degree of accuracy." A dot pattern was plotted to measure deformation of the ground when the root plate of the tree was put under high stress.Image Credit: NASA

NASA Glenn's success at Morton has gained more attention from the biomechanics community. A consulting firm, Bio-Compliance, is working with utility companies on the east coast where billions of dollars have been lost due to extreme weather events including Hurricane Sandy. The company wants Melis and his team to look at branch structures. Falling branches account for a high degree of damage to property and have been responsible for human fatalities during these incidents.
"Our work on these projects is an example of how NASA can make a difference in advancing the science of the environment by spinning off capabilities used in its day-to-day operations," concludes Melis. "We now have demonstrated stereo imaging to be a valuable tool which can lead to greater understanding of tree biomechanics, creating safer communities and infrastructure during extreme weather."

I'm trying to help a friend install some roms on his att gs4. I'm familiar with Tmobile s4 since i have one and often install custom roms but with att phone i see its a little different.
My main question is how do I get a rom on his phone without losing Tmobile unlock privileges he currently has.
also if someone could explain how this whole loki thing works that'd be awesome, like can i install tmo rom on his 337 or only att made roms
he's probably just looking to install a nice stable tw rom that is up to date with either 4.4.2 or 4.3

The room was clean and comfortable, but that couldn't override the fact I got little sleep because of the train traffic throughout the night. See below.
The hotel was built next to a railroad track that had at least three trains traveling through my room each night, meaning I got very little sleep. It would have been nice to know this in advance of my booking.
Location toInterstate
Elevator and alarm clock not working. Toilet seat loose.
Friendly staff, in walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops
I stay here regularly on my way between Atlanta and NYC. The hotel is comfortable although not luxurious, but the location is excellent. Shops, restaurants and the Shakespeare theater are all a short walk away.
Decor, staff, bed, location, breakfast
Coffee in restaurant/ room service was bland, mediocre.
Wait staff and dinner menu. Room was also excellent.
Refrigerator made a high-pitched humming noise.
Very clean and easy access!
Well maintained, but dated furnishings and tv.... No flat screens, old school tv sets.
Mattress was extremely hard. I felt like I was sleeping on a board.
Great location. Diner just below is super. Nice helpful staff.
Room needs updating/upgrading. Dirty in places, rugs, room corners. Bedding should be replaced.
Front desk was exceptionally helpful and polite. Room was very nice. Facility was in good condition overall given it's 2.5 star rating. Would stay there again.
Beautiful decor and services. View is fantastic.
Difficulty upgrading room with an on-line booking. Overcharged my card and had trouble reconciling it.
Beautiful view and great location. Very friendly staff. Will definitely stay there again.
Gracious owner - lovely porch for sitting. Wonderful breakfast. Beautifully decorated - it deserves an article in "Southern Living"!
Lots of stairs - two small flights just to get to the entrance. Rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors - so would be difficult for anyone with walking problems. Otherwise great place in an interesting town.
A fantastic motel! I highly recommend. Some of the reviews note the age of the facility but they've done a great job renovating. The room was pleasant, very clean, and comfortable. The bed and pillows were plush. The costumer service was friendly and engaging. Stay here!
It was 3 miles from the town but located right off I-85. Easy to access.
Very convenient to interstate.
Room did not have a fresh smell. Bath is small and had soap from previous guest still in shower. Breakfast area is small and filled up quickly with few tables. Food okay but nothing special-- coffee was good
Clean and quiet and price is right
Nothing major
not a whole lot bath tub not nice at all will not be staying again
The desk staff was friendly. It was a place to sleep.
We left after a few hours because of the dog smell, the active mold in the grouting and all over the tub, and the FLEAS JUMPING ON US!!! The lobby was a couple chairs from Goodwill thrown in a dumpy open room. Employees sat around talking to each other.
it filled the requirement of a clean bed for the night.
the breakfast was under our expectations.
way too expensive for the quality. Bathtub not clean.
Facility was clean. Staff was friendly. Overall pleasant stay.

Airline overacted. Really no need to divert. They should have continued and just fined them heavily.
well bind them up with tyraps and carry onthrow em in the slammer and fine them
From the way I read things, the bigger issue was how the family reacted and fought with flight attendants over the incident rather than just the smoking in itself.
quote:"... when they came out they got into a little bit of an argument with the attendants. They couldn't say where they put their cigarette butts and that caused a bit of a commotion, I guess. From there it kind of escalated with the father, the mother and the son,"
quote:the plane had to be searched the same way they would search for contraband items.
Well given the choice of reaching my destination with slight delay vs a major diversion for a plane full of travelers, it would make sense to continue if the hooligans could be controlled. But it's not a common sense world any more is it.?
Yeah, because ranting about a redeye with a rude flight crew, the seatbelt light never turning off due to constant turbulence and a rough landing in the god forsaken hellhole known as Newark after it all happened from the comfort of my own home is the same as someone smoking in an airplane and getting into a near-fist fight with the flight crew to the point where they need to do an emergency landing to arrest the assholes.Then again, considering that your cognitive reasoning allows you to reconcile blaming the airline for what happened rather than the actual people who caused the issue, watching you come to this kind of conclusion about my flight from hell is - unfortunately - something that shouldn't surprise anyone here.Your move.
The A320 on the flight there was also a hell of a lot quieter in the cabin than the 737-800 on the way back, too. That, and they provided us with free movies and TV on the A320, whereas on the 737 we got... to pay $8 for Direct TV. Wonderful.
The joys of flying a post-merger airline (assuming United-Continental?)
Never againAC, American, United, Transat
Airlines I'll always flyJetblue, Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, WestjetNever againAC, American, United, Transat
(Return $598 all taxes in...from Sudbury, not Toronto)
Southwest has dicked my FIL a few times in the past, but next year when I head south I'll pay more for a direct Southwest BUF-LAS flight rather than the ordeal that was United on the way back.I didn't even mention how we got stuck on the tarmac in Newark for an hour packed into a sardine can Embraer 145 because someone overfilled the plane and it needed to be drained.
I hate anything Embraer with a passion. When they load me onto a Bombardier jet I feel like I'm in heaven by comparison.

Lawyers Collective of Sri Lanka says Chief Justice will remain in post
Mon, Jan 14, 2013, 10:24 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 14, Colombo: A lawyers' organization in Sri Lanka, the Lawyers Collective issuing a statement over the impeachment of the Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake said the removal of the top judge affects the very foundation of independence of the Judiciary, the Rule of Law and all basic norms of a working democracy.
"The politically motivated process of removal of the Chief Justice was nothing but a misuse and abuse of Constitutional provisions and Standing Orders," the organization said.
The organization said they salute Dr. Bandaranayake for her courage and reiterated that she remains as the Chief Justice, notwithstanding being unconstitutionally removed.
The lawyers accused the Executive and Legislature of deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court's constitutional interpretation and the Appeal Court's decision to quash the impeachment report by the government members of the Parliament Select Committee.
"With this impeachment, the Government of Sri Lanka has demonstrated that it will not respect the Constitution and the Judiciary. The manner in which the impeachment process was conducted, in and outside parliament, by the government, the state media and the government-sponsored goons leaves the country with unforgettable memories of a horror period in our history."
"The conscience of the nation and the BAR is disturbed and is in anguish-and will never accept the illegal and unconstitutional removal of the Chief Justice," the Collective said.
"We have no doubt that in the annals of history, Chief Justice Bandaranayake would be remembered as a judge who did not succumb to pressure and who held the scale of justice without fear or favour. We salute her for her courage, leadership and steadfastness in facing one of the most unreasonable and irrational inquiries ever faced by a person holding such an exalted office of the Head of Judiciary in a democratic country," the statement added.
There is speculation that the Chief Justice will refuse to leave the post based on the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution and Appellate Court's decision to invalidate the PSC report and her refusal to quit will precipitate a constitutional crisis.

We all know that it's important to pay attention to what you eat during pregnancy. What may be surprising though is what effects commonly used ingredients in Thai cooking can have for expecting mothers.
Even if you can't identify tamarind, if you've lived in Thailand for any length of time you've almost certainly eaten it. The fruit, which grows in pods filled with sticky brown flesh, grows through much of Southeast Asia. Its powerfully sweet-tart flavor is understandably popular and shows up everywhere from pad thai noodles to satay sauces.
Tasty tamarind has a bunch of health benefits, especially for mothers-to-be. The fruit is surprisingly high in iron; one cup of pulp yields 12 percent of a woman's daily requirements. Since pregnant women require extra iron to keep up with their increased blood flow, this is a big plus. Sufficient iron also reduces your chance of premature birth according to the American Pregnancy Association. There's also some helpful niacin, as well as vitamins A and C. Plus, tamarind packs quite a bit of fiber, which helps ward off unnecessary weight gain.
Tamarind's uses during pregnancy go beyond ordinary nutrients though. It's traditionally thought to help ease nausea, and is often used in Southeast Asia to help treat morning sickness. Also, all that fiber eases digestion and can help avoid constipation, a common and unfortunate side effect of pregnancy.
The easiest way to use tamarind is to buy it as pulp. Simply pour boiling water over the pulp and allow it to soak for 10 minutes, then strain the mixture to remove the seeds and use the liquid in recipes. If you've already had your pad thai fix, try mixing tamarind, soy, and either brown or palm sugar into a glaze for grilled meats. Tamarind is also commonly sugared and eaten like candy in Thailand.
What is it
Ginger is a rhizome, part of the same plant family as turmeric and galangal, a common ingredient in curry pastes and tom yums. It appears in all sorts of forms of food and traditional homeopathic medicine throughout Asia.
Why you should eat it
Ginger has long been considered a sort of natural panacea in Asian lore. It's reputed to have anti-inflammatory properties, boost digestion, and to help reduce nausea. As a result, expecting mothers often turn to ginger to relieve morning sickness and soothe stress. Some women even go so far as to take ginger supplements. While doctors generally agree that the amount of ginger found in food is fine, they're more divided on the idea of concentrated supplements. To be on the safe side, try incorporating ginger into your diet naturally and steer clear of any extra.

Volt-filled banshee yells aplenty on this mind-altering adventureMore on DD/MM/YYYY
8 / 10 [b]'Lismer'[/b] – that's where it happens: the point where after seven tracks of wrestling with [a]DD/MM/YYYY[/a]'s blitzkrieg of bipolar time signature experiments your mind emerges, albeit swollen and bruised, pulped by blows thrown from angles barely within comprehension. Here's where the Canadians truly take over, electronic shrieks offering the sharpest switch in aural assault yet. But, dear listener, it isn't their aim to bludgeon you towards a gooey end; this is a conversion mission and judging by the sense of clarification that greets each ensuing guitar spiral and percussive metamorphosis, new acolytes seem certain.

|Perk out with sore left knee
|03.26.10 at 7:15 pm ET
The Celtics will not have the services of center Kendrick Perkins for Friday's game against Sacramento. The big man will rest his sore left knee.
The team did not say how long Perkins is expected out of action. Rasheed Wallace will start in his place.
|Perkins reminded of old times
|03.16.10 at 12:53 am ET
The Celtics were up by double digits late in the fourth quarter and Gino came out to celebrate. It was just like old times. Well, just like earlier in the season, actually.
The C's commanding 119-93 win over the Pistons on Monday night in Boston was reminiscent of the blowout victories they had enjoyed so many times before. They got back to team basketball, something Kendrick Perkins was happy to be a part of.
'I think today, the vibe was good on the court,' he said after the game. 'Guys were rooting for each other, being there on the help side, just being there, and it was just fun to be a part of.'
Perkins was particularly please with the Celtics' ball movement. Shots produced by four or five passes were a result of strong communication and being in sync with one another. The overall team effort reminded Perkins of the start of the season, when they went on six- and 11-game winning streaks.
'It does, especially when we're playing like that,' he said. 'I think just how guys were sharing the ball, like I said, just fun to be a part of. It reminds you of the time we were playing, I think, at our best. Those are the things we were doing. And on the defensive end we were playing great defense and rebounding and running and guys were denying the ball.'
The Celtics have won six out of their last 10 and will face the Knicks on Wednesday at home.
|Allen: 'We've got a bunch of leaders'
|03.15.10 at 7:14 pm ET
Following their loss to the Cavaliers on Sunday, the leadership of the Celtics came into question. As in, where is it coming from?
Ray Allen says the Celtics don't come down to one or two individuals. They are not led by a single player, he notes. Never have been nor do they plan on becoming so.
'The same as it's always been,' he said prior to the Celtics – Pistons game on Monday. 'We've got a bunch of leaders on this team.'
Kendrick Perkins offered a remedy to help the Celtics on Sunday after LeBron James led the Cavs to victory.
'I think maybe a different guy gotta try to step up and be a leader,' reported the Boston Globe. 'I think sometimes you try to feed off your All-Stars, but maybe somebody else gotta step up. I'm talking about leading by example. One spark or positive energy on the court and guys tend to feed off that. Maybe it's gotta be me, Rondo, 'Sheed, somebody.''
A day later, Doc Rivers echoed the notion of players needing to step up. He believes his players have it in them, it is just a matter of putting it out there on the court. He pointed out Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels specifically as two players the Celtics need better production from.
"I don't care how frustrating it gets for me," Rivers said before Monday's game. "I see it, and if you see it or not, I see it and I'm going to get it out of you. And that's what I told them after the game [Sunday]. I don't know how but I will get it out of you."
|Perkins: Cavs better without Shaq
|03.13.10 at 3:37 pm ET
There is no denying that Shaquille O'Neal is one of the most challenging big men to go up against in the NBA. But in the case of the Cavaliers, Kendrick Perkins thinks they are better suited without him.
The Cavaliers are 6-1 since O'Neal suffered a sprained thumb on February 25 against the Celtics. While it should be noted that wins during that stretch came against the sub-.500 Knicks, Nets, Pistons, and 76ers, Perkins believes that the Cavaliers have more options and speed without O'Neal.
'In my opinion, I think they're better,' he said after practice on Saturday. 'They can run more, you've got Anderson Varejao who's more of an active body, he gets LeBron open a lot, opens up the paint for him, so I think they're a better team. I mean obviously Shaq could help them, but I think they're a better, more fast-paced team.'
Even without O'Neal on the court, Perkins will still have hands full in the paint. Anderson Varejao isn't as big as O'Neal, but he causes problems for opponents in his own way.
'You've just got to take him out of the game,' said Perkins. 'I think you've got to, all the time he's more of the instigator. I think you've got to be more of the instigator when you're playing against him. You've got to hit him first. He's a guy who flops, gets a lot of calls, takes charges, offensive rebounds, so I think you've just got to keep a body on him and play against him hard.'
Varejao is averaging 11.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in two games against the Celtics this season, compared to 8.0 points and 6.0 rebounds from O'Neal.
|Cavs measuring stick for Celtics?
|at 3:18 pm ET
Over the years, the Celtics have served as a measuring stick for their opponents. A win over the Big Three and Company has signified to many that they have what it takes to run with the best.
"The Celtics get the best game out of everybody they play," Jamal Crawford said following a Hawks win over the C's in January. "They are one of the best teams in the NBA and it's a good measuring stick."
'I guess it just proves that we should have high expectations and we should continue to work hard and if we play hard ' I think that's the biggest thing,' Steve Nash said after the Suns dealt the Celtics their first loss of the season.
But the Celtics are no longer at the top of the East. On Saturday, they were nine games behind the Cavaliers for first in the conference. That makes Sunday's game in Cleveland that much more meaningful. A win on the Cavs home court, where the Cavs are 28-4, would be significant to the Celtics.
'I'm looking forward to the game, seeing exactly where we're at, just going out there and competing,' said Kendrick Perkins after practice on Saturday. 'They're a great team, they're at home, best in the NBA, just seeing where we're at. I think it would be a great confidence boost for us if we could go in their home building and get a win."
Perkins is quick to point out, however, that while a victory in Cleveland would help their confidence, the Celtics are not measurng their success against that of the Cavs. He says that using a game against the Cavs to assess the Celtics performance is like role reversal "in a way," but the Cavaliers still have a lot to prove too.
"They still haven't won anything, they're just the best team in the league,' he said. 'They still haven't done anything we haven't done, so right now they're just the best team in the league and we've got to go at them.'
The Celtics will play the Cavs at 3:30 on Sunday. The season series is tied 1-1.
|Perk out sick
|03.01.10 at 12:58 pm ET
WALTHAM — Kendrick Perkins did not practice on Monday and is not making the afternoon trip with the team to Detroit, according to the team.
Perkins, who played in the team's loss to New Jersey on Saturday, became sick over the weekend, the latest player to battle flu-like symptoms. The Celtics play in Detroit on Tuesday before returning home for a game against Charlotte at TD Garden on Wednesday. Marquis Daniels and Paul Pierce had to miss parts of last week with flu-like symptoms.
'If he's feeling better he's going to fly up [Tuesday] to the game," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Obviously, I don't see that happening but if he's feeling a lot better, we'll have him do that. We just have so many guys that aren't feeling well right now that we can't afford to even have a guy around anybody else to let it start up again. We're taking a different measure right now. We're keeping all unhealthy people away from each other right now, even with injuries. Just stay away.'
If Perkins can't go, Rivers said Wallace would likely start in Perkins' place at center.
|Perk: 'Sometimes maybe we do get bored'
|02.27.10 at 1:09 pm ET
Kendrick Perkins confirmed before Saturday's game what many observers have felt about the Celtics for a while now. They are bored with the process.
"It's different because I think guys are really anxious to get to the playoffs," he said. "You have your veteran guys, Sheed, KG, you could tell that this regular season really don't excite them, seriously. Even with Paul and Ray, you still have to go out here and compete, and it's not an excuse for losing but you can just tell guys just want to get to the crunch time, get to the playoffs."
Then Perkins made reference to fact that the Celtics were swept this season in four games by Atlanta, one of the teams they're battling with for playoff seeding in the Eastern Conference.
[Click here to hear Perkins tell it the way it is.]
"Even like the Atlanta series, when they swept us, we took it to heart but it wasn't like a big deal like how everyone else tried to make it," Perkins admitted. "I don't know if that's a bad thing but it's just like we come into games focused and we're not trying to lose games but you can see that sometimes maybe we do get bored with the process and we can't do that.
"That first year we kept harping on trying to get that best record so we could have home court advantage through playoffs. I think now guys are [realize] last year we won a couple of games on the road, we won a lot more on the road this year, our road record is pretty decent and guys are comfortable and guys are really like we don't care where we fall in the playoffs let's just play so I don't know if that's a bad thing or good thing. I do hate losing, whether it's the regular season or playoffs."
Perkins said there was no panic in the Celtics locker room after blowing a 13-point lead to Cleveland on Thursday night and losing by 20.
"After the Cleveland game, I never got a bad vibe from the team, period," he said. "Guys said what they had to say about why we lost but one thing about this is we're always together. There's never guys straying apart. Guys always stick together, whether we lose or win so that's the good thing about our team.
"We're always consistent on how we act we with each other. We never overreact to a loss or anything somebody may write about us. We always stick together. I guess that's where 'Ubuntu' comes in.

Comedian Thea Vidale at the Golden Gecko
By by camille m. email@example.com
July 11, 2012 at 2:11 a.m.
Family and friends call Thea Vidale dramatic and different. She proudly owns those labels.
The 55-year-old was born in Washington, D.C., but said her years growing up were spent bringing laughter to her classmates in the halls of Victoria High School.
After graduation, the Stingaree buzzed around the world, sharing her gift of comedy.
"I'm so excited about performing," she said in a recent phone interview. "It makes me happy."
Vidale's hometown audience will have a chance to see her live at The Golden Gecko on Saturday night.
The actress/comedian will share the stage with Vance "V-Dogg" Bradford, who plans to discuss current events, relationships and life after 40.
Bradford, who is based in San Antonio, complimented Vidale's talent and can't wait to hear her material.
"I look forward to seeing what she brings to the table," he said.
Promoter Joey Sandoval said he is honored to have the People's Choice Award nominee entertain at his venue. He encourages the community to support her performance.
"She's one of Victoria's own, people should come see her," Sandoval said.
Vidale's cousin, Gary Ellis, will make his comedy debut. It will be like a family reunion.
Vidale's direct and clever humor earned her a spot in prime-time TV, with a self-titled sitcom in 1993. Vidale portrayed a single, widowed mother trying to raise four children. Although the show lasted one season, the actress earned a People's Choice nomination for Favorite Female in a New Series.
Her beloved character thrust Vidale into a national spotlight with appearances on "Ellen," "The Drew Carey Show," "My Wife and Kids," "Ugly Betty" and "WWE A.M. Raw."
She's also shared the same stage with funny men Tim Allen, Jeff Foxworthy and Sam Kinison.
Vidale broke barriers as the first black female to host the Adult Video News awards, which is considered the Oscars of the porn industry.
Vidale hasn't rested on her laurels with the long list of credits. She dreams of having her own Broadway show. Winning a Tony Award will be the icing on the comedienne's cake.
"I haven't stopped dreaming," she said.
Growing up in a military family, Vidale has a deep-rooted appreciation for the troops.
She has entertained for soldiers in Australia, Guam, Afghanistan, Japan, Korea, Canada and Kosovo.
She has also strolled through the palace of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.
Vidale's close ties to soldiers allows her to see their vulnerability.
"I saw a lot of brave young women that put themselves on the line," she said.
Although the war heroes faced the stresses of combat, the comedian brought smiles to their faces.
"They were so grateful, it was amazing," she said.
Vidale's openness allows fans to connect with her, she said. When she's on stage, she doesn't have secrets, she said.
But critics find her routine off-putting. She replied that it's only because she's a woman.
"I've said the same thing as Paul Mooney and Chris Rock, but they are afforded the luxury of saying it," she said.
She wants to help pave the way for other women who dare to get on the mic through the Females in Comedy Association.
Vidale said her Victoria show will be grown up and sexy. She's given a disclaimer to the faint at heart: "You can bring your kids but I might scare the hell out of them," she said jokingly.

Personally, I cant see the need to expend effort in making a large chunk or even all the text Klingonese, then put english as out-of-mission text. In fact, i would say that doing this will remind the player that he or she actually speaks english (or other earth language), and is not really a klingon who is fluent in Klingonese, leading to immersion-break.
Although, id have to play and read such a thing to be sure :p
I'll just say, even though i'll be one of the hardcore who'd try and read and take in all the klingonese text, im sure most people would ignore it entirely.

My ever expanding collection
Check out the spreadsheet! everything is its first year in the ground.
Mission Viejo, CA
Yes, its just my own personal orchard in my backyard. All close spacings and multiple plantings.
Most of the deciduous trees are on a 16' X 115' south facing hillside. I am working on a to-scale planting diagram on excel and will post when I am done.
Hmm...what am I going to do with it all....I have not really thought about that. haha
Well I only planted stuff I enjoy, so I believe I will eat most of it. The rest will go to family and friends.
With the exception of a few items (bananas, figs, sapote avocado and mulberry), most of it will be kept under 8' by summer pruning.
I expect to take meticulous notes on each fruit so I can provide some empirical data from my particular climate.
If anyone has particular experiences with any of the varieties I am growing, please do share.
I love it, but it is hard to read, text is fuzzy. Is there a way you can share the original document?
I kept a spreadsheet of all my varieties for a few years, but it completely out of date and I've since moved. I'd like to make one with a chart for my new house.
Perhaps I will borrow some of your formatting if you don't mind.
Let's try this:
Does that work? If so, I can upload my site plan layout as well.
Keep in mind these are all theoretical values right now. I will gather actual empirical data this year and the next.
Yes, that did work. Hopefully I didn't get any viruses or malware.
Very nice. Where did you get all the ripening dates?
I grafted Beauty to my young Howard Miracle plum maybe 3 years ago. The Beauty has set a decent load of fruit, but the Howard Miracle near nothing.
hmm, i would think you have the chill hours, so not sure why. I do know beauty and santa rosa typically set heavy.
I got the ripening dates from Dave Wilson, and where not available, from L E Cooke.
The only muilti-grafts I have are 4 in 1 asian pear and sweet cherry.
The asian pear, because I am not sure if I like them, and the cherry because I don't think I have the winter chill for a few of the varieties.
I will take pictures tonight. Below is the link to the layout. Work in progress, I have more planted than just these.
1 square = 1 square foot. Spacing is based on desired size of each tree/plant. The bramble patch has a 3-dimensional 4-wire catch trellis.

Project Reality: BF2 - Winter Map Pack!
Hello PR Community!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from all of us at the Project Reality Team. We'd like to say a HUGE thanks to all of you for your support of Project Reality over the last 10 years! Your continuous support and feedback is what keeps us going!
What's up for Project Reality in 2015?
There have been rumours that we stopped working on PR:BF2. These are not true - in fact, we are working on the next patch, version 1.3, which will contain a whole bunch of fixes and tweaks and maybe some new goodies as well. There will be more updates and highlights in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! This next version isn't going to be the final one either, because as long as there are developers working and an active community playing, we will keep on releasing patches as we keep on working to improve this unique game.
Where to get Battlefield 2?
We know it's hard to get a hold of a copy of Battlefield 2 these days. Some local stores have copies lying around and you can still buy it via internet through various online shops. Get (your friend) a copy while you still can!
Winter Map Pack
To celebrate the New Year, we've been working on a little present for you guys to enjoy: a Winter Map Pack! This map pack contains two winter maps, the good old Operation Snow Storm featuring China vs Great Britain on a snowy mountain range, and Northern Lights where Russia fights Germany over a winter wilderness. Time to unpack your gloves and winter camo, because it's cold out there!
