Abdominal strain keeps Garnett on bench in return to Minnesota
Updated: February 8, 2008, 11:43 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Welcome home, KG.
Even though Kevin Garnett was inactive for his first game back in Minnesota since the Timberwolves traded him to Boston in July, "The Big Ticket" received a heart-felt ovation from a soldout Target Center crowd that came to see him one more time.
Garnett missed his sixth straight game -- an 88-86 victory -- because of an abdominal strain, but this one had to hurt the most.
He starred for the Timberwolves for 12 seasons, ...

"Genocide Revealed" is Released
Madison, WI
A sprawling United Nations archive that exposes thousands of Holocaust perpetrators-including many who were never held accountable for their actions-has been made available to the public for the first time after 70 years of restricted access. Among the war criminals highlighted in the archive is Hungarian autocrat Miklós Horthy, whose gruesome crimes were first brought to public light in even greater detail in Aleksandar Veljic's "Genocide Revealed."
As recently reported in Haaretz, Horthy's transgressions included an "unprovoked attack against Yugoslavia... leading to massacres, murders and torture" and that Hungary, under Horthy, sent "masses of the Serbian population and Jews to concentration camps." In addition, Hungary was accused of "massacring Serbians and Jews in Novi-Sad and other areas of the Balkans."
"Genocide Revealed," released by Something or Other Publishing in 2012, previously described these same charges in chilling detail. In addition, the book exposed the horrors perpetrated by Horthy in additional areas, documented every point of international law which was broken during his reign, and included a full list of identified victims. Veljic, who discusses the UN release at length on his blog, compiled the information after researching primary Serbian, German, Hungarian, and Swedish sources for seven years.
The UN archive shows that a Hungarian lawmaker notified Horthy of these atrocities in a 1942 letter, but that the incidents nevertheless continued. That lawmaker was Endre Baychi Zhilinsky, and the letter in question was published for the first time in English in "Genocide Revealed." This letter, along with Veljic's accompanying research, serves as a clear complement to the contents of the UN archive, and the author plans to offer his findings to the UN for inclusion therein.
The archive's release comes at an opportune time, and not just because of a c ontroversial new Hungarian World War II monument that memorializes Horthy. In April, Hungary's far-right Jobbik party, which according to the UK's Independent "has argued that Jews are a 'national security risk," received nearly 21 percent of the vote in a national election. In addition, the uproar around Hungarian research director Sándor Szakály's recent remarks-in which he termed Hungarian contributions to the Holocaust "police action against aliens"-has grown more intense, after Szakály reiterated his rhetoric in an interview with the Budapest Beacon:

Qatar Holding to buy newly issued shares of CITIC Capital; Size of transaction unclear
August 22, 2012 5:38 by Reuters
CITIC Capital Holdings Ltd said on Wednesday a unit of Qatar's sovereign wealth fund has subscribed to new shares in the Chinese investment firm, equivalent to a 22 percent stake.
CITIC Capital, partly owned by China's sovereign wealth fund, did not give financial details of the investment by Qatar Holding LLC, a unit of Qatar Investment, in its newly issued shares.
"Not only will Qatar Holding provide us with an enlarged capital base to fund our business expansion and investments, its significant backing will strengthen our brand positioning meaningfully as the most preferred and committed partner to invest with, both in and outside China," CITIC Capital's chief executive, Yichen Zhang, said in a statement in English.
CITIC Capital's shareholders include China's sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corp, and Chinese financial conglomerate CITIC Group. (Reporting by Samuel Shen and Kazunori Takada; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

Hi, I'm having issues replicating the testimonial page like this. http://themes.jozoor.com/wp/crevision/white/testimonials

There is any instructions I can follow to get it looking like your example.

These services are not meeting the needs of older travelers today and will, if unchanged, be even less beneficial in the future, Sandra Rosenbloom the Institute's director of innovation in infrastructure explains in "Roadblocks Ahead for Seniors Who Don't Drive."
"Many people believe that services are in place to provide mobility for older people when they can no longer drive," said Rosenbloom, noting there will be 55 million people over the age of 65 by 2020. "Unfortunately, this is simply not true for the overwhelming majority of older Americans. Putting faith in that kind of future without doing anything to actually make it happen is just perpetrating another scam on the elderly."
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) public transit operators must provide door-to-door "paratransit" services on demand to people with disabilities. But these services aren't of much use to older Americans, because they are only for people with serious disabilities; must be offered only in three-quarter-mile wide corridors parallel to existing bus routes, and only during the hours those buses operate; and are so expensive that many transit operators are trying to provide only minimum services.Paratransit costs nationally rose 197%, to $3.5 billion, between 1999 and 2011. Ridership grew 49%, while the average one-way trip almost doubled from $17.39 in 1999, to $34.59 in 2011.
In 10 locales Rosenbloom reviewed (Philadelphia; Denver; San Diego; Portland, Oregon; Cleveland; Oakland, Calif.; state of Rhode Island; Albuquerque, N.M.; Sarasota, Fla.; and Madison, Wis.), transit operators spend a disproportionate share of their budgets on a very small number of ADA riders, who take, on average, very few trips each month.
For example: the state of Rhode Island, which operates all public transit there, spent almost 17% of its operating budget in 2011 on ADA services for just over 3% of its riders.
The average elderly rider in Denver and Sarasota — the studied cities providing the most ADA service — took less than two roundtrips each month.
Because one-third to two-thirds of all elderly people do not live or travel within the obligatory service corridors, Rosenbloom recommends expanding paratransit services to areas where elderly people are living without them. She also calls for developing services for people not seriously disabled but facing mobility problems and delivering more appropriate public transit options while making it possible for older people to continue driving safely longer.
"To do otherwise," she said, "is to cheat our aging population, and cheat ourselves of the important contributions older people make to our society through continued employment, grandparenting, volunteering, mentoring, and chauffeuring other older people."
RELATED ARTICLE: Check out, "Transitional program alleviates paratransit demand."
At various times, the county paid too much when prices should have decreased, missed deadlines to seek damages from its contractor for alleged substandard performance and failed to accurately calculate the most basic of contract functions — cost of living adjustments.
The new contract, which begins July 1, enables city of Independence riders with disabilities who depend on paratransit services would only need to make one phone call to get transportation.
The driver was spotted driving poorly, before slamming his brakes, causing a 90-year-old passenger to fall to the floor. According to the arrest report, the driver's blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.
CarFreeAtoZ plans trips in a manner similar to Google Maps or Mapquest, but it combines different transit options, such as walking, using the Metro and biking.
Models coming on the market or in development can climb stairs, turn tight corners, make their way over trails, and are lighter and easier to maneuver than earlier generations.

sciatic nerve, largest and thickest nerve of the human body that is the principal continuation of all the roots of the sacral plexus. It emerges from the spinal cord in the lumbar portion of the spine and runs down through the buttocks and the back of the thigh; above the back of the knee it divides into the tibial and the common peroneal nerve, both of which serve the lower leg and foot.

There're the old myths: the free market, the Invisible Hand, free enterprise, competition equals better products, and so forth. Of course, when those shibboleths don't translate as they should in real life, there is often a turn toward "investing" in politicians and political parties, advertising to grab and ensure a market and, well, just plain old whining. And that's what seems to be happening in Chattanooga as a public utility confronts a corporate biggie.
EPB, or the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga, has been a stunning success. Set up as a nonprofit by the city of Chattanooga almost 80 years ago (1935), EPB today serves almost 170,000 customers in Chattanooga and some surrounding areas. EPB is 100% fiber-optic, has developed a Smart Grid and was "the first company in the United States to offer one Gbit/s high speed internet, over 200 times faster than the national average."
In 2013, EPB received the POWER Smart Grid award "for two main reasons. The build-out of Chattanooga's Smart Grid benefits the community by saving more than $50 million annually . . . through a 60 percent reduction in power outages" and for "creating a new business." EPB offers "Internet, television and telephone service to all electric power customers in its 600 square mile area," providing revenue to the benefit of its customers and their communities. EPB also received the 2013 Government Recycler of the Year award from the Tennessee Recycling Coalition.
People nearby, but outside EPB's 600 square mile service area, want to become EPB customers. And what's to hold them back? After all, the FCC is charged under section 706(a) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 "to implement 'measures that promote competition in the local telecommunications market or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment.'"
Well, you see, in Tennessee, as in about 20 other states, they have a law "that has frozen the expansion of the fastest internet in the Western Hemisphere." And that's not all. US Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), ever-vigilant about these things, crafted a bill that "would freeze the FCC's funding if it attempts to overturn state prohibitions on the expansion of municipal broadband." Blackburn's bill was approved 223-200.
While free enterprise usually merits a hearty rah-rah in certain circles, competition between for-profit entities and publicly-owned ones seems to be a no-no, at least to Rep Blackburn and her crowd when it comes to EPB. In contrast, another TN Representative—and Republican—Chuck Fleischmann supports EPB's efforts to expand into communities where services don't exist or are substandard. And Marion County, adjacent to EPB's home county of Hamilton, is so eager to become a customer that Marion County leaders are willing to "consider supporting legislation to make that legal." One Marion County town, Kimball, is now officially on board "requesting state legislators to revisit the law."
But what about the competition? Time-Warner was in the area, but it "has widespread outages"—and it's in the process of being gobbled up by Comcast Corp anyway. Meanwhile, Comcast and AT&T "have contributed more than $215,000 to state lawmakers" in Tennessee this election cycle alone. Comcast's contribution in TN is said to surpass "totals given in any other state."
Comcast offered up this gem in defense of keeping EPB out: "In general, cities have extensive infrastructure needs like roads, bridges and schools, and we think especially in times of fiscal trade offs that tax payer money should be focused on those needs rather than competing with the private sector." Comcast failed to mention the lack of investment by private corporations in "the expensive infrastructure it takes to serve relatively few customers in rural communities." In the past, government was supposed to get out of the way; nowadays, at least in this instance, private corporations want the government to get in the way and stop public entities.

Field Day at farm of Richard and Diana Sloan
Iowa Learning Farms, along with the STRIPS project and the Iowa Cover Crop Working Group, hosted a field day on Thursday, June 18, at the Dick and Diana Sloan farm, rural Rowley. The STRIPS project, Science-based Trials of Rowcrops Integrated with Prairie Strips, is at Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge, Prairie City. The project focuses on planting a small percentage of a field into strips of perennial prairie plants to reduce soil erosion, water runoff, and to create habitat for pollinators. Iowa farmers are now applying this conservation practice on their own fields for the benefits that the research results have shown.
For more information see the Iowa Learning Farms web page.
Top photo: During the field day, the three dozen visitors make a short trek to the prairie strips on Dick Sloan's farm. Above, Dick gave a brief history of his experiences with cover crops and prairie strips.
AgriNews features Cedar River
Coalition bus tour
AgriNews writer Jean Casper-Simmet rode along with some 75 people on the Cedar River Coalition's tour of conservation practices on several farms in the middle Cedar River watershed.
"The goal of the Middle Cedar Partnership Project is to establish connections with individual farmers to enhance adoption of practices that will improve soil health, improve bankside and downstream water quality, potentially limit peak downstream flows and enhance the long-term viability of producers…", she wrote.

Introduction to denitrifying bioreactors
Subsurface drainage makes Iowa's productive fields possible, but also impacts Iowa's water quality, in particular by carrying nitrate into streams and rivers. Woodchip bioreactors are one practice that can help reduce the amount of nitrate in field drainage water. Video and still photographs from several northeast Iowa bioreactor sites. Published on Feb 12, 2015
Denitrification bioreactor webinar available
A July 29, 2014 webinar, created by Jamie Benning and Chad Ingels of Iowa State Outreach and Extension and Keegan Kult of the Iowa Soybean Association can be viewed at the webinar.
The webinar was created for the Miller Creek Water Quality Improvement Project on the west side of the Cedar River watershed and northwest of Lime Creek. The MCWQI Facebook page is at www.facebook.com/MillerCreekWQIProject.

Agricultural and urban flooding
on IPR's Talk of Iowa
(April 2013) After two major flooding events for Iowa in 1993 and 2008, and a number of significant flooding events in-between, Iowans need to ask hard questions about how we have altered our environment.
Iowa Public Radio's "Talk of Iowa" discussed agricultural and urban flooding, looking at changes we've made to our landscape that has made it more prone to flooding. The program also discussed both the damage flooding can cause, and some innovative ways farmers, homeowners and city planners can prevent flooding or at least minimize the damage it can cause.
State Senator Rob Hogg of Cedar Rapids, Co-founder of the Iowa Flood Center Larry Weber, and Mark Rasmussen, Director of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture join the conversation.
