The one supplied in the box is adequate. It's what I'm using now.
I also read that you shouldn't use a used heat sink. I think the
uniformity of the paste is ruined. As far as cleaning it, I don't have
any clue. This might be useful:
There was also something about cleaning a CPU posted on /. a few days ago
with the article on Intel & AMD chip heat survivability.
I read somewhere your HDs may have a significant impact on the total
temperature of the system.

A child, initially rejected by his grandfather because his father was Indian, earns his Grandad's respect. Important lessons are learned when a young black child comes to stay with the Ingalls.

How many times has a soda can exploded all over you? Some people (myself included) like to vigorously tap the can before opening, in order to minimize spray. Does this handy "trick" really work? Read this article to see an experiment involving exploding soda cans.
This article outlines an experiment examining the tapping of soda cans. The experiment involved three groups. For each group, the soda can was shaken. In the first group, the can was opened right after the shaking. The second group's can was opened after ten seconds. Finally, the third group's can was tapped for ten seconds, and then opened. This experiment was repeated three times total. Surprisingly, the experimenters did not find a convincing correlation between tapping and amount of spray. The tapped can expelled slightly less spray than the other two, but there was not a great difference between the settled second can and the tapped third can. Thus, it seems that tapping soda cans is not a very effective activity.
We should look for Rival Hypotheses in this experiment. A major flaw in this experiment is the lack of separation between two important variables-- the settling of the can and the tapping of the can. The cans in the third group of the experiment both settle AND are tapped. To correct this in a future experiment, researchers should introduce a fourth group. In this group, the can should be vigorously tapped for one to three seconds, and then opened. This would allow researchers to focus on the tapping element without the settling element. In summary, this confound introduces a rival hypothesis. Is the can spewing less liquid because of the tapping, or because of the settling? The results seem to indicate that the settling of the can, not tapping, is the crucial variable, but it is still very important to analyze this further.
In conclusion, it seems that tapping a soda can does not really reduce the amount of spray from a carbonated can. Instead, the can should sit and settle for a minute or two. While it may seem that tapping the can will reduce the likelihood of an explosion, this is probably due to our availability heuristic-- we recall more easily the times when we DID NOT tap the can and it exploded than we remember all the times we DID tap the can, and it DID explode.

FACTS & STATS: Site: FedExForum (18,400) -- Memphis, Tennessee. Television: CSS. Home Record: Houston 11-4, Memphis 14-1. Away Record: Houston 4-5, Memphis 7-0. Neutral Record: Houston 0-0, Memphis 1-2. Conference Record: Houston 4-7, Memphis 11-0. Series Record: Memphis leads, 26-12.
GAME NOTES: The No. 21 Memphis Tigers look to keep their streak against league rivals intact as they host the Houston Cougars at FedExForum for a Conference USA affair.
The Tigers' last loss to a league rival came on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 to Texas-El Paso. Memphis defeated seven C-USA opponents before heading to the Big Dance last season and have knocked off its first 11 league foes this season on its way to a 22-3 overall record. Josh Pastner's unit picked up its third straight win by a double-digit margin on Saturday as it downed Marshall, 71-59, at the Cam Henderson Center behind a 23-point, 10-rebound double-double by Adonis Thomas.
Houston continues its three-game road trip after suffering a 101-92 loss in triple overtime to Tulsa in the first chapter of the journey. The loss to the Golden Hurricane left the Cougars with a 15-9 overall record, including their 4-7 mark against league opponents. Coach James Dickey has used a three-headed attack consisting of Joseph Young (17.3 ppg), TaShawn Thomas (16.9 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 1.9 bpg) and Danuel House (12.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg) to produce the C-USA's top scoring offense at 77.9 ppg.
This will be the 39th meeting in history between these schools on the hardwood. Memphis owns a sizeable 26-12 all-time series edge after its 89-55 rout of the Cougars a season ago in the Lone Star State.
Thomas, a heralded sophomore forward, submitted his career night against the Thundering Herd as Memphis hit on 45.3 percent of its field goal tries, while limiting MU to 38.2 percent field goal efficiency. Joe Jackson, who paces the group with 13.8 points, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game, chipped in 12 points against the Herd. Thomas and Geron Johnson add just over 11 ppg apiece for the Tigers, who also receive steady production from its next five players down the line. The very deep and athletic Tigers are outscoring their opposition by an average of 11.2 ppg this season and their only losses came to respectable programs in Virginia Commonwealth, Minnesota and Louisville.
Houston's Thomas also posted a double-double his last time out with 31 points and 15 rebounds. Young added 25 points and Jherrod Stiggers produced 15 points, but the reserves did not do enough damage as Tulsa held a 57-22 advantage in bench points. The high-scoring Cougars shot just 36.6 percent from the field and allowed the Golden Hurricane to knock down 45.5 percent of their field goal tries. Houston's lack of discipline on the defensive end turned out to be the difference, as it committed 36 fouls which sent Tulsa to the free-throw line for 50 unguarded attempts.
Against an even more athletic and aggressive team, Houston's poor defensive approach will hinder its chances. The Tigers are playing like one of the top teams in the NCAA at this current juncture. Although it is not apparent as to whether or not Memphis has what it takes to make a big run in March, it is very clear that it is the class of the C-USA and will have to beat itself to have its streak against conference rivals end before it departs for the Big East.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Memphis 87, Houston 75

Golden shiner
A description of the golde shiner
Introduction: This feature is part of a series of articles being created as a group effort by members of the Streamer List to provide some background information on the species of forage fish we most commonly try to immitate with streamer patterns. Many thanks to the Lindsey Grandison for organizing this effort, and to the list members who contributed patterns and other information! If you'd like to include one of your favorite golden shiner patterns to this feature, we'd be pleased to include it. Just Drop us a line.
Golden Shiner (Notemigonus cystoleucas)This description of the Golden Shiner was submitted by Doug Saball
This is a well know species that is easily identified. Key characteristics are the strongly compressed rather elliptical body, a small pointed head, strongly downward curving lateral ling, a long sickle-shaped anal fin, and a thin scaleless keel on the midline of the belly behind the pelvic fins. The coloration is a dark olive-green on the back, becoming a golden-silver on the sides. With large adults a deep golden or brassy coloration is prominent. The fins are yellowish with the lower fins turning orange on breading males. Young golden shiners have a distinctive broad dark lateral band, more silvery than gold body, and their fins are transparent. (1,2)
Distribution: On the east coast of North America from the Maritime Provinces south to Florida and west to the Dakotas and Texas. Because of its wide use as bait, it has been introduced into many parts of the western United States to which it is not native. (2)
Habitat: The golden shiner is found in the quiet waters of lakes, ponds and sluggish rivers and streams. They prefer areas with thick vegetation and muddy bottoms. The golden shiner is usually found with such species as the chain pickerel, brown bullheads, yellow perch, and largemouth bass. (1,2)
Reproduction: The golden shiner spawns in late spring and summer. It scatters its adhesive eggs over submerged vegetative beds in quiet waters. Females are known to produce as much as 200,000 eggs in a season. The spawning season may last for the whole summer with several spawns throughout the season. Usually the first spawn is the largest. But this is dependent on specific areas, weather and water conditions. (1,2)
Age and Growth: The golden shiner reaches a maximum length of about 12 inches, however, some specimens have been collected that reach as large as 15 inches. (3) Typical adult golden shiners are 4 to 7 inches. It is a rapid grower usually reaching 2 to 3 inches in one year. However, in colder regions the golden shiner reaches maturity in its third summer, and may only be 3 inches. (1,2)
Food: The golden shiner eats an extremely diverse assortment of food. Its long fine gill rakes, long intestine, and strong grinding pharyngeal teeth equip it for feeding on all types of foods. It can strain microorganisms, digest cellulose-containing plants, and crush small mollusks. It eats alga, plant fragments, water fleas, insect larva, snails, clams, and occasionally small fish. (1)
Remarks: This species is primarily valuable as a forage food for game fish. Because it reproduces rapidly in ponds and its food consists largely of vegetation, it has often been stocked extensively as a forage fish. The golden shiner is one of the more commonly used baitfish in New England primarily because of its availability and silvery appearance. However, the golden shiner is difficult to keep alive in a bait bucket or on a hook. It is used locally to some degree as a "sewn-on shiner" in trolling for lake trout and salmon. (1)
Common Names: Golden shiner, roach, bream, butterfish, eastern golden shiner, American roach, American bream, sunfish, dace, bitterhead, chub, gudgeon, young shad, windfish, and goldfish. (2)

Not sure what it is about parts of that entire dirt road from Dugout Ranch off of hwy 211 (Canyonlands Needles) all the way over to Elk Ridge down to Natural Bridges. It has some of the worst mud sections I've seen in that whole area when there's a little snow or rain. I think the deepest ruts caused by 4X4's I've ever seen have been on that stretch. Even after they've dried out, many of them are like concrete curbs for miles sometimes. I've driven in and around mountains a lot after a rain, but I think that area has the worst dirt and mud I've encountered. Even mid-May can suck at times depending on conditions. When dry and without those dried concrete ruts, it's a fast superhighway. I met Cross-country head-on on a stretch of that road a couple of years ago, and I bet we were closing on each other at about 90-100 mph.

No one was hit by the bullet.
The incident occurred at the Beaverton Police Department, which also serves as city hall. Police said Leone walked up to the records department and asked for help because he was overdosing. Officers tended to him at which point he tried to punch one of them.

What is the minimum depth of footing for a residential structure?
The bottom of exterior footings should extend below the frost line, but not less than 12 inches below the undisturbed soil. Your local building department should be able to provide frost line depth information for your area. Frost line depth can be also determined based on the air-freezing index map. This map and the methodology for determining frost line depth can be found in the HUD publication, Structural Design Loads for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, at www.huduser.org.

It seems Shentech has been selling batteries with a fake IBM logo, which might inspire a little confidence that the knockoff batteries were good quality. Unfortunately for both companies involved, the batteries had potential defects in them that could cause them to overheat and catch fire no big surprise to any who have been paying attention to the news the past two years. Now, IBM is taking Shentech to court. It seems IBM discovered the fraud through Lenovo on a routine repair, then managed to purchase forged batteries themselves from the company.
IBM is demanding that all the forged batteries be delivered to them for destruction, along with all the profits from the sale of the batteries as well as large amounts of money on top of that. While I don't particularly care for sue-happy companies trying to push other companies around (like SCO), in this particular instance I hope IBM prevails. Knock-off hardware is something that could trouble anyone, all the way down to the consumer, and is a bad deal all around.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sophomore Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.) recorded a team-high seven kills and senior Lauren Laquerre (Concord, N.H.) added 10 digs, but the University of New Hampshire volleyball team fell to Yale, 3-0, Friday night in the opening day of competition at the Yale/Quinnipiac Classic.
The Bulldogs improved to 4-3 overall while the Wildcats dipped to 0-13 on the season. Set scores in the match were 13-25, 15-25 and 17-25.
Junior Desiree Ates (Regina, Saskatchewan) and Laquerre each added four kills, while freshman Sam Henke (Millersville, Md.) posted a team-high 11 digs. Junior Jansan Falcusan (Plymouth, Mich.) led the lineup with 19 assists.
In the first set, Yale jumped out to an 11-2 lead before UNH stopped the early run with a Jessie Schnepp (East Longmeadow, Mass.) kill to pull within eight. Yale answered with back-to-back points to push the lead to 10 and then went on to claim the set at 25-13 for the 1-0 match advantage.
The second set featured close play early on as the teams were tied nine times for the eventual 12-12 score. UNH then scored two straight on a Jessy Dick (Lethbridge, Alberta) kill and a service ace from Henke, but the Bulldogs fought back to even it up once again at 14-14. From there, Yale ended the set on an 11-1 run to take the stanza, 25-15, for the 2-0 lead.
The teams were closely contested in the third set until Yale moved out in front by three for the 12-9 advantage. The Wildcats answered right back with four straight for the 13-12 lead, but the Bulldogs responded with five straight to fuel the 25-17 win and seal the match victory.
The Wildcats continue play at the Yale/Quinnipiac Classic on Saturday with a pair of matches against Army (11 a.m.) and Quinnipiac (7 p.m.).

la mesa
A house at the base of Mount Helix was destroyed Friday in a two-alarm blaze, and a resident was later arrested on suspicion of reckless burning of property, La Mesa police said.
The resident, Jackson Pavlicek, 31, is accused of extinguishing a cigarette in the backyard, causing dry brush to catch fire. The blaze then spread to the house.
Pavlicek and two other residents fled unharmed from the house on Dillon Drive near Bancroft Drive, which was surrounded by trees and thick brush. They were contacted by La Mesa police a short distance away, police Lt. Ray Sweeney said.
Pavlicek was booked into county jail Friday night.
Pushed by strong westerly winds, embers reached the yards of six other houses, but firefighters were able to keep them from igniting anything, Heartland Fire & Rescue Chief Rick Sitta said. He said firefighters "did a fantastic job."
It was first thought that the roof of a neighboring house was burned, but what was thought to be charring turned out to be pine needles, Sitta said.
Next-door neighbor Chris Adams, who had just picked up sons Connor and Matthew from school, said he heard several small explosions coming from the residence.
He said the flames were intense.
Heartland was assisted by firefighters from San Diego, Cal Fire and Santee, spokesman Sonny Saghera said.

Authorities raid Poway indoor marijuana farm, jail couple
Two men and a woman believed to be running a marijuana delivery service were jailed after authorities raided a suspected pot farm inside a rented Poway home Friday morning, the Sheriff's Department said.
Investigators suspect the home was also the site of a potentially explosive laboratory used to extract oils from marijuana.
About 7:30 a.m., authorities raided the rented home on Acton Avenue, north of Bowdoin Road, on the city's east end, Lt. Harold Turner said.
Narcotics Task Force members seized 230 marijuana plants and about 20 pounds of processed marijuana, worth about $750,000 on the street, Turner said.
Tim Tien, 23, Jason Lujan, 25, and Jamie Katzenstein, 28, were arrested on suspicion of cultivating and selling marijuana, jail records show.

Ex-security guard arrested, accused of filing false report
A former security guard who reported being shot at in Santee in early April was jailed Friday, accused of firing the shots himself and then lying on a police report.
Lance Wright, 22, was arrested at his Lakeside home and booked on suspicion of felony vandalism, shooting at an unoccupied vehicle and filing the false report, sheriff's Sgt. Scott Enyeart said.
Enyeart said Wright told investigators he wanted to quit his security job and didn't know how.
Wright reported to the Sheriff's Department on April 5 that someone in a red vehicle fired at his Bravo 3 Security company car on Woodside Avenue and that he returned fire.
Five days later, he told sheriff's officials he'd made up the story.

The word "stewardship" refers to the Catholic approach to the gifts that God has bestowed upon us. Stewardship is living out a commitment to be Christ-centered rather than self-centered. Profound gratitude, justice and love become the fundamental motives for giving back to God. Everything that God has given to us is intended to serve the divine plan. Therefore, our life is to be lived in gratitude toward God. In a variety of ways, we as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, share our time, talent and treasure to build up the Church and make our world a better place.
The Church needs you and God has chosen you to go out into the entire world. Every Christian is to take an active part in the life of the Church and to share the gifts of salvation. Three convictions in particular underlie our understanding of stewardship.
1. Mature disciples make a conscious, firm decision, carried out in action, to be followers of Jesus Christ no matter the cost to themselves.
2. Beginning in conversion, change of mind and heart, this commitment is expressed not in a single action, nor even in a number of actions over a period of time, but in an entire way of life. It means committing one's very self to the Lord.
3. Stewardship is an expression of discipleship, with the power to change how we understand and live out our lives. Disciples who practice stewardship recognize God as the origin of life, the giver of freedom, the source of all they have and are and will be. They are deeply aware of the truth that "The Lord's are the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it" (Psalm 24:1). They know themselves to be recipients and caretakers of God's many gifts. They are grateful for what they have received and eager to cultivate their gifts out of love for God and one another.

Pete, I'm not sure I understand - /etc/profile and all the other bash
init scripts (e.g., ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc) are never run under
a noninteractive invocation (cf. the man page), unless --login was
specified. There should be no need for this test.

Many things have happened in the past 300 years. Here are the individual highlights as chosen by the Groupon editorial team: The French Revolution, Disney, VE Day, Titanic (the film), Vending machines, Emancipation (general), Sliced bread and one of our editorial staff was born. Most of these fail in comparison to the fact that Turk Launches, the prestigious Thames River cruise company, are celebrating their 300th year of sailing the high seas... rivers. You can join the festivities with this excellent offer of a four hour cruise for two people, with jazz, food and drinks for only £74!
The family company can be traced back to 1710 when it was established by Richard Turk; although records of Turk built boats extend back to the 12th Century. The focus was primarily on building passenger wherries and fishing punts, but reputation soon spread and Turks expanded into making boats for English and foreign royalty, exporting pleasure craft - especially touring canoes and skiffs - all over the world, often winning prizes at international exhibitions. One project even involved building boats for the amusement of Queen Victoria on the Home Park waters.
When you board at either Richmond or Kingston (depending on date) you will be greeted with canapes and a glass of bubbly. Live jazz music will keep things smooth and you can dine in style with a two course meal and a bottle of wine. Your halfway point is the picturesque and historical Hampton Court, before returning to your boarding point (no need to paddle back).
What people are saying...
"It was a most pleasant day - boat, food, jazz band, drinks were excellent. All your details are in our file and we will most certainly use you again!"
"The whole experience was really enjoyable, the staff were really friendly & helpful and the boat perfect!"

Light gold in color, with a nose of white pepper and faint aromas of apple and pear; the taste is rich, creamy and unctuous. Pineapple, apricot and pear flavors dominate, with some vanilla notes chiming in here and there.The finish is long and starts off as pineapple tapering off to a very pleasant caramelized sugar taste.

Vera Mary Brittain was born in Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, England into a middle-class family, and grew up in Buxton, Derbyshire. Her father, Thomas Arthur Brittain, was a paper manufacturer from a wealthy Staffordshire family. Her mother, Edith Mary Bervon, was by contrast, as Brittain wrote, "without money or pedigree, and had nothing but her shy and wistful prettiness to recommend her" (Testament of Youth 19). Educated at home by a governess and later sent to St. Monica's School in Kingswood, Surrey, Brittain had to convince her father and mother to allow her to pursue further education at Oxford. More than one well-meaning middle-class family acquaintance vehemently counseled Mrs. Brittain that …

Fantsuam takes the lonely road to rural wireless internet

APC member Fantsuam Foundation remains a lone player in rural wireless internet service in northern Nigeria. "Our capacity building efforts have been facilitated by two APC-led events: in Zanzibar and South Africa," says John Dada, of the Foundation.
Represented by Ochuko Onoberhie, the Fantsuam Foundation was one of the new trainers at the IDRC-APC South African Wireless Workshop, held in mid-September 2005.
Fantsuam was also identified as a strategic partner for the next round of trainers for the West African version of this workshop. Through these various capacity building events, Fantsuam is working to act as a sub-regional resource centre for wireless training.
"Currently we are the only academy in English speaking West Africa with the capacity to train Cisco-certified wireless support specialists," adds Dada.
He sees the proposed IDRC-funded (International Development Research Centre) project to facilitate sharing of Fantsuam bandwidth with rural "What is civil society?", initial working definition adopted by the Centre for Civil Society at the London School of Economics">CSOs(Civil Society Organisations) in Nigeria, the West African Wireless Roadshow, the possible participation in the Harambe Project [1], and the OSIWA (Open Society Initiative for West Africa) workshop on Bandwidth costs as "all future possibilities which we eagerly await at Fantsuam."
Founded in 1996 in Jos, Nigeria, Fantsuam Foundation is a non-profit organisation aimed at working on gender and youth focused micro-finance and Source: APC">ICTservices and development in rural communities of Nigeria.
Fantsuam already has a number of achievements to its credit. These include: winner of the first Africa Hafkin prize; first rural APC ">ISP(internet service provider) in Nigeria; first rural Cisco The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English on Encyclopedia.com">networking academy in Nigeria; winner of Global
Knowledge Partnership's Seed Grant and Small Innovative Projects Fund; founder of Nigeria's first rural Geeks corps, the Zitt Geeks [2].
In addition, it also launched the ICT entrepreneurship and business incubation for rural SMEs (small and medium enterprises); it was chair of the African Technical Advisory Committee (United Nations Economic Commission for Africa); Fantsuam promoted the establishment of the first community radios in Nigeria; and it initiated the local assembly of Solo tropicalised computers. Besides, it provides refurbished computers to rural health and educational institutions and is at the forefront in the community radio The American Heritage Dictionaries on Answers.com ">advocacyefforts in Nigeria.

On a few occasions, there is a fourth nephew that appears, slipping through by a mistake of the artist. He has been named "Phooey Duck" by Disney comic editor Bob Foster. One short Egmont-licensed Disney comic explained Phooey's sporadic appearances as a freak incident of nature.
The boys are noted for having both identical appearances and personalities in most appearances, with the three sometimes shown as finishing each others' sentences as a running joke. In the theatrical shorts, Huey, Dewey, and Louie would often behave in a rambunctious manner, sometimes committing retaliation or revenge on their uncle Donald for something he did to them. In the comics, however, as developed by Al Taliaferro and Carl Barks, the boys usually are shown in a more well-behaved manner, usually helping their uncle Donald and great-uncle Scrooge McDuck in the adventure at hand. In the early Barks comics, the ducklings were still wild and unruly, but their character improved considerably due to their membership in the Junior Woodchucks and the good influence of their wise old great-grandmother Elvira Coot "Grandma" Duck.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie can in some cases be told apart by the color of their ball caps and sweaters or clothing: In DuckTales and Quack Pack, Huey is dressed in red, Dewey in blue, and Louie in green. In Egmont's comic publications, Huey is sometimes dressed in blue, Dewey in green and Louie in red. Usually they are colored randomly, though, and in some cases there have been yellow or orange nephews. In one cartoon (Donald's Happy Birthday, 1949), all three nephews wore red. Disney's archivist Dave Smith, in "Disney A to Z," said, "Note that the brightest hue of the three is red (Huey), the color of water, dew, is blue (Dewey), and that leaves Louie, and leaves are green."
They later starred in the 1987 animated television series DuckTales, in which they appeared in adventures with their great-uncle, Scrooge McDuck (Donald having enlisted in the U.S. Navy). The boys' personalities in this series were mainly based on their comic book appearances versus the theatrical shorts.
In 1990, the boys also made an appearance in the anti-drug TV special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie also starred in the 1990s series Quack Pack, in which the three were portrayed as teenagers, and their names were given as Hubert, Deuteronomy and Louis Duck. In Quack Pack, the boys were given distinct personalities, with Huey serving as the group's leader, Dewey as a computer whiz, and Louie as enjoying sports.
After Quack Pack, the boys were reverted to their original ages in future appearances, including 2000s series Mickey Mouse Works and then re-aged in House of Mouse.
Clarence Nash, Donald's voice actor, gave the voices to the boys in the cartoon shorts, making them just as unintelligible as Donald's. Huey, Dewey, and Louie were all voiced by Russi Taylor in DuckTales. In Quack Pack, they were voiced by Jeannie Elias, Pamela Segall, and Elizabeth Daily, respectively. Tony Anselmo voiced the characters in House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse Works, but Russi Taylor still voices the trio in other projects, such as the video games Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers and Mickey's Speedway USA, and the direct-to-video films Mickey's Once and Twice Upon a Christmas.
In Disney comic writer Don Rosa's (unofficial) continuity, Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck were born around 1940 in Duckburg. True to his jocular style, Rosa occasionally makes subtle references to the untold mystery of the three boys' life: What became of their parents? In his epic comic series, Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Rosa pictures how Scrooge first met Donald and his nephews, saying: "I'm not used to relatives, either! The few I had seem to have... disappeared!" Huey, Dewey, and Louie answer: "We know how that feels, Unca Scrooge!"
In Some Heir Over the Rainbow, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, along with Donald Duck and Gladstone Gander, are tested by Scrooge McDuck, who wants to pick a heir to his fortune. Using the legend of gold at the end of rainbow, Scrooge secretly gives US$ 3,000 (One thousand to Huey, Dewey, and Louie, another for Gladstone, and the last one for Donald). Donald uses his money for a down payment of a new car, now being $1,000 in debt. Gladstone, considering himself too lucky to need the money this soon, hides the money for when and if he needs it, causing Scrooge to consider him a better option than Donald. Huey, Dewey, and Louie lend their money to a man who claims to need the money to search for a treasure. Initially thinking they were tricked out of the money, Scrooge actually considers leaving his fortune to Gladstone, even though he sees that as "an awful injustice to the world", but the man actually finds the treasure and pays the kids back. Scrooge makes Huey, Dewey, and Louie his heirs. Although this is disregarded in a number of later comics, it seems to be the most solidly canon indication of Scrooge's plans.

LOL!!! You may have read here previously American Apparel vs. The Neighborhood, a bunch of East Villagers, LES'ers sent letters with along with 75 signatures to AA that their latest huge billboard in the neighborhood was offensive and inappropriate for a residential neighborhood. AA told them too bad, it's klassy. Well someone decided enough was enough.
Enter 10/22/07. I get off the train, and to my delight I see this. Pretty shocking statement written on the sign, no wonder AA replaced the sign as fast as they could. (a new sign was up 10/24/07). I mean heck, the least AA coulda done was give the woman face or feet! This billboard is the epitome of dehumanization of women turned into sex objects. Not to mention our having to wake up every morning with a ginormous photo of crotch in our face. No thanks Dov Dorvey (or whatever). Either way, to the persons who defaced that sign... you rock. How in the hell did you do that?!
Oh, and if you have one of these crappy signs in your neighborhood, and don't want it there, email
email@example.com, and email@example.com
Oh, but that won't get you very far. Maybe go to the store and get yourself a paint gun instead.

German soprano Christiane Libor makes her U.S. operatic debut as the fearless Leonore, determined to find and free her wrongfully-imprisoned husband Florestan (tenor Clifton Forbis).
Take a look at the Fidelio leads and see photos from Seattle Opera's 2003 production, which The Seattle Times called "As poignant and timeless as the music itself."
Beethoven's only opera celebrates courage and hope in the face of oppression and tyranny, and is as relevant today as it was in 1814.

Danny Hafley says his sculpture isn't racist.
Sure, it depicts President Barack Obama holding a piece of watermelon, but what's that got to do with anything?
"The way I look at it, it's freedom of speech," says Hafley.
He says it's meant to be taken as a joke and not a racist display. In fact, he says everyone loves it.
"If I had a dollar for everyone who stopped and took a picture of it I'd be a millionaire."
When asked the reason behind the watermelon, amateur comedian Hafley responded that he thought the figure "might get hungry standing out here."
Check it out below. Do you think it's racist?

At the Tuesday meeting of the Scioto County Commissioners it was reported that crews with Southern Ohio Salvage and Contracting, Inc. are wrapping up a project of removing scrap metal from the remains of the former Scioto County Jail on the fourth floor of the Scioto County Courthouse.
In June the commissioners signed an agreement with Southern Ohio Salvage and Contracting, Inc., of Ironton, to remove the remains.
At the time, Commissioners Chairman Mike Crabtree was quoted as saying, "This is going to be done at no cost to the county. They will take the bars down, cut them in small pieces so they can be moved from the fourth floor to ground level, then placed in a dumpster. Community service workers and our maintenance department will be responsible for moving the steel to the ground level as a courtesy to the contractor."
Crabtree said the agreement was worked out in such a way in which the county would not have to pay anything for the service.
He said were roughly 65 cells located on the fourth floor.
Since the new Scioto County Jail opened in 2006, the majority of the fourth floor has remained vacant and been used as storage space. Over time, the roof of the building began to leak and caused some damage to the space rendering the majority of it uninhabitable.
When asked what the county plans to do with the space once the metal has been removed, Crabtree said the commissioners are exploring options.
"There are some areas up there (fourth floor) where there could be some cosmetic work done. There is stuff still falling off the walls, a lot of that needs to be taken down and the surfaces prepared for when we can refurbish the space," Crabtree said. "Hopefully somewhere down the road we can do somethings up there and reclaim that space."
Crabtree said there is interest in the space from other entities within the county government.
"You always have people that are interested in space and that seems to be what we have a shortage of (in the courthouse), obviously we have people in the courthouse annex, for that very reason," he said.
Crabtree said the commissioners are trying to look as far down the road as they can for planning purposes and to be able to work with what they have available.
"I can't give you any schedule as to when things are going to happen, we're just trying to do as much as we can as responsibly as we can," Crabtree said.
He said the county is currently perusing grant funding to refurbish the fourth floor.

Arizona cracking down on stolen copper resales
PHOENIX -- Arizona is cracking down on scrap-metal dealers who may be accepting stolen copper.
Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into a law a bill that requires the dealers to register with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. They are also required to keep a record and picture of all of the material they take in. Those who fail to register could face $1,000 fines.
In turn, police will set up a website where dealers can check to see if the materials have been reported stolen.
Valley commercial real estate developer Michael Pollack liked the plan. "What used to happen is that is you could just set up a big truck on the side of the road and call yourself �I'm buying scrap,' " said Pollack. "Who's regulating that? Well, it wasn't being regulated so good."
He said copper thefts are costing Arizona residents and businesses a lot of money. "It's a very serious matter," Pollack said.
Pollack has been a victim of copper thefts himself. He said thefts at his construction sites have cost him over $400,000 since 2009.

"There's exemptions in this for licensed contractors," he said. "This is not to stop licensed contractors from doing business, or to stop scrap-metal dealers from doing business. This is meant to stop thieves, because this is what this is all about. Stopping thieves."
