Police believe $5,000 worth of diesel fuel was stolen over the last month, from rigs parked at Central Power Systems and Service (Detroit Diesel), 625 10th St. The theft was reported Tuesday and is being investigated by the Great Bend Police Department.
An individual used "false information" to steal thousands of dollars from an individual's bank account, according to Lt. William Browne at the Great Bend Police Department. The alleged theft was reported last Tuesday at Farmers Bank and Trust, 1017 Harrison St. The investigation shows a person misrepresented himself or herself and got money from an individual's account. Loss was $3,587.
Crime Stoppers is seeking information about a burglary that occurred between 6:15 and 8:53 p.m. last Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 2507 11th St. Apt. 4 in Great Bend. Police Chief Dean Akings said the doors were locked and it is possible that the burglar has a key.
Great Bend Police are investigating a report of a rape at a residence in the 1100 block of Morphy St. Reports show someone entered the residence by force at 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 6, and that the assailant had a knife or other cutting instrument. A woman in her early 20s was reportedly raped; another woman of similar age contacted the police at 1:58 a.m. and they arrived within three minutes. Evidence was collected, including a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner kit.

Most people in agriculture know this time of year is meeting season. Everyone from seed and chemical companies to producer groups and government agriculture groups take advantage of this "down" period to educate, inform, and listen. Some meetings are designed to inform those attending while some are designed to listen to those attending. The best meetings do both. Several of these opportunities have occurred here at Barton recently.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
25 Jul 2014 12:51 GMT | Politics, Sport, Football, US & Canada, Austria
A football match to be played on Saturday by Maccabi Haifa and Paderborn will be moved due to security concerns after a violent anti-Israel protest disrupted the Israeli team's last game in Austria.
"The match will take place at 500 GMT tomorrow but not in Kirchbichl," Hannes Empl, head of the SLFC organisation that organises football training camps in the Salzburg region, told Reuters by telephone on Friday.
Protesters against Israel's military offensive in Gaza ran onto the pitch and attacked Maccabi Haifa players at a friendly game against Lille in the Austrian town of Bischofshofen on Wednesday, causing the match to be abandoned.
"Because of the events in Bischofshofen, there are security concerns," Otto Lichtmannegger, head of the mayor's office in Kirchbichl, told Reuters by telephone.
"On top of that, our sports field is in the centre of town."
Empl said a new location for Saturday's match would be announced later on Friday, after the Austrian Interior Ministry had given its approval.

Cyclone Evan causes flooding in Fiji
Related Links
Relevant offers
A state of natural disaster has been declared in the Northern and Western divisions of Fiji.
Roofs were ripped from homes and churches, roads flooded and thousands forced to evacuate their homes when the storm battered the Pacific Island nation yesterday. Strong seas near the capital, Suva, pulled two container ships onto a reef. Authorities say they hope to refloat them.
Thousands of people huddled in evacuation centres overnight as winds sent houses and trees flying through the air. Sky News reported a hospital lost its roof and patients had to be evacuated.
The Fiji Ministry of Information said reports pointed to extensive damage to roads, bridges, power lines, houses and community halls. There were no reports of deaths and injuries.
Most tourist resorts sustained only minor damage, but power and communications remain down in parts of the country.
The state of natural disater will remain in effect for 15 days, as the country cleans up the after-effects of Cyclone Evan.
National Disaster Management Office director Manasa Tagicakibau said this would allow authorities and stakeholders to speed up rehabilitation works, which began today, FijiLive reported.
Cyclone Evan headed out to sea early today and has been downgraded to a category three storm.
However, flooding remains a threat for thousands of people.
All people living in the Rewa River delta, east of Suva, were told to move to high ground before it gets dark, as heavy rains from the storm cause the river to burst its banks.
The delta includes the large town of Nausori and an airport.
The Fiji Meteorology Office earlier issued a flood warning for rivers including the Wainimala, Wainibuka, Waidina, Rewa, and the low lying areas of Nausori and Rewa Delta.
Flights to the international airport at Nadi have resumed.
Air New Zealand flights from Auckland to Nadi are departing as scheduled, with two flights expected to land there late today.
However, today's flights from Nadi to Auckland on Air Pacific and Qantas have both been cancelled. Two Air New Zealand flights from Nadi to Auckland today have been rescheduled.
In Samoa, flights bound for Apia from Auckland are back on schedule for Air New Zealand, with an extra service operating on Sunday for extra capacity.
Extra flights will fly into Samoa's capital, and the national carrier also relaxed baggage allowances. The altered rules allow adult and child passengers booked to travel to Apia up to Sunday December 30 to take one extra piece of luggage with them.
Because the flights leaving from Auckland will have cargo space filled with food and welfare items, passengers travelling this week would not be able to fly with their extra baggage - though it could follow on a different flight free of charge.
One New Zealander has described the harrowing experience of sheltering in Nadi as the cyclone battered the country overnight.
"Our room was pretty much awash with all the water that was coming in, there were leaks in the ceiling as well as water coming in the door, so we were dealing with that as well as the wind," Fairfax journalist Marc Hinton said.
"But it appears as though the worst has past, there are still fairly strong winds here - but nowhere near the intensity that it was through the night.
"Our ceiling is starting to cave in so there is obviously a lot of water that got into the buildings, which was to be expected with the strength of the winds and bits of roofs being torn off."
Hinton's family had not left their room since yesterday. They only had lights working overnight.
"We literally haven't seen anyone because everyone was hunkered down, the winds were so strong last night you couldn't even open your doors, it was over 200kmh."
Fiji's second largest city, Lautoka, was described last night as a war zone. An unknown number of homes were destroyed and many had lost their roofs. Running water was also out in Nadi.
This morning, a number of main highways through Fiji were in lock down and the entire Western Division from Korolevu to Rakiraki was without power.
Rakiraki was almost completely under water for much of the night.
New Zealand has contributed close to $1 million to help Samoa and Fiji in the aftermath of Evan and further funding is expected.
Fiji made a formal request for assistance overnight and Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said New Zealand was happy to help.
It has offered an initial $50,000 to respond to specific requests from Fiji. Tarpaulins, water containers, generators and chainsaw packs were also on the way to Fiji on commercial flights.
A further contribution of $170,000 has been made to the Fiji Red Cross.
"We are also looking at further funding for New Zealand-based non-government organisations that have supplies pre-positioned in Fiji," McCully said.
New Zealand has also offered Samoa a total of $600,000 in assistance, bringing the total assistance package for both countries to $870,000.
Five additional New Zealand Red Cross workers would travel to Samoa to support local efforts.
Cyclone Evan ravaged Samoa late last week, leaving at least four dead, up to 3000 homeless, and flattened buildings in the capital Apia.
A search for 10 fishermen who went missing off the country during the cyclone has been called off.
Maritime New Zealand said three days of searching involving a Royal New Zealand Air Force P3 Orion and a French Marine Nationale Guardian aircraft covered around 5,000 square kilometres but failed to find any sign of the men.
The upturned boat was believed to be one of the missing boats, but had yet to be formally identified.

Angry Birds on Android: Big update comes crashing in
Angry Birds fans rejoice - a major new update has hit the Android Market (and GetJar too).
The update brings with it QVGA graphics support so Android users with smaller screens can now become horribly addicted like the rest of us, as well as a number of bug fixes (including the BSOD on Android 1.6 devices) and the white texturing effect.
But all of that pales into insignificance compared to the big news - 45 brand spanking new levels, including The Big Setup episode, "which pits the birds against the fiendish construction yard operated by the pigs". Say goodbye to your evening then.
Angry Birds has been nominated for Best Game at the 7th annual Pocket-lint awards. Do you think it deserves to take home the prize?

'Ted 2′ trailer as crude (funny) as you'd expect (hope)

Comments by Mrs alex o'loughlin
Samine is alive! I knew she had to be. Now her return with depend on if and when Sarah Shahi decides to return.
This was a pretty good episode.
I too like that Fusco got more screen time and bringing in Silva worked well as Fusco needed a new temporary partner with Reese being off in Maple. I am sure Root has now lost faith and if she leaves I will not be surprised.
I do not see how they can take down Samaritan but something will happen that will allow them too, it has to right?!
Another solid episode.
When Iris saw Barry at work and he told her he was there for Linda and the look of jealousy on Iris' face made me mad. She has not right to be jealous.
It looks like Caitlin likes Barry too. I loved their whole night out together it was fun to watch. I do not watch Glee so I did not know that Grant was such a good singer.
I loved when Barry was talking to Henry at the end and the words he said to Barry were great. Glad that Henry knows.
Cisco had to know that Hartley was going to escape, even with the efforts to he took to prevent that from happening. I am glad that when Cisco told Caitlin about Ronnie and Hartley that she was not upset.
Looks like we will see Grodd again soon.
LOL I thought the guy looked like Axl Rose. Yes even a brief glimpse at a newspaper saying that Heat Wave and Captain Cold are on the lam would be nice.
This was such a good episode.
The end when they had the ceremony for Shay, made me cry. I also cried when Hermann was talking to Megan.
There were some funny moments, which we needed.
I hope Mills does not do something stupid and that he leave it up to the PD crew to take Adrian down and we all know they will.
Casey and Dawson are not getting back together anytime soon according to what I have read lately and I am cool with that!
Didn't they say Mona's funeral happened a few months after the Christmas episode? That would explain the nicer weather. :)
Hannah is not to be messed with! I like it. Holbrook better watch out.
I like the thing that Johnny made, it is very cool.
I am still not sure what to think about Talia.
So my theory that Mike is A, really seems like it may be true.
This was a great episode.
I knew it was Freya in the house, she is super powerful and I think she will be the one to defeat Finn.
I sure hope that Jackson keeps the secret that Hope is alive. He really does seem to love Hayley so I think he will.
Klaus was great in this episode.
I really liked this episode.
There was not enough Jaime for me though.
I think Erin and Alex would make a good couple.
I liked all the Danny and Linda moments and the moment with Danny and Frank in the kitchen was great.
Jack and Charlotte are cute together. Jack look so much more mature that he did the last episode.
I choked up when Baez and Danny got their medals and when Henry started his speech I knew what has happening and I cried when Danny gave his dad his medal.
This was one of my favorite episodes.
I enjoyed this episode.
The opening scene with the wrecking ball as brutal to watch but well done!
I think Steve is right to not trust Joe. Even though Joe says he thinks of Steve like a son and the two of them are a lot alike, there has always been something about Joe that seems off.
Grover had tons of funny lines.
I did enjoy this episode. However with a show like this I find it loses momentum when there is a 2 month hiatus but I am sure the next 3 episodes will be great.
I am happy that Annalise told the Connor, Laurel and Michaela that she knows what happened. I did not see it going well if she did not.
The ending when she said the classes exam was going to be to unknowingly get ideas on how to have the 4 get away with murder was brilliant!
I was a little shocked that Annalise told Frank. However she did not tell Bonnie so she is still punishing her even though she told Bonnie all was good between them.
I knew Annalise's call to Bonnie and Sam were part of her plan to pretend she does not know about Sam. However her hookup with Nate came before Sam's death. I think that was a coincidence but worked out in her favor to be her alibi.
I admire Luke for taking Jo's place but as soon as he did, I knew he was going to die. Luke is strong and I wish he was able to over take Kai but I guess with Kai being able to absorb power made him stronger than Luke. I think Liv and Jo will team up to take out Kai.
Damon should feel bad for releasing Kai. He better do what he can to help take him down!
Elena finally realized life is too short and is ready to get back with Damon and not worry about the past and having her memories of the two of them erased. I was team Stelena for the longest time but that will never happen so I am going with Delena.
The show is really trying to push a romance with Caroline and Stefan, even having Liz tell him he had to take care of her.
I too wonder how Liz came back to life.
Once again there was no Bonnie. There was also no Matt, Jeremy or Enzo. I wonder if Michael Malarkey thought he would get more screen time when he was promoted to a series regular. He sure has not been on that many episodes.
Comment modified at
I hope Derek comes back eventually. I knew she was calling Derek not Christina.
I am sure Amelia will get the tumor and be a rock star.
The little boy who was in the accident with his brother was super cute, and when he said it was his fault because he wanted ice cream, made me tear up.
Sadly I do not see Jackson and April's baby surviving.

Vanina: When I'm not surfing I like to paddle my race
stand-up paddle board and run in the evenings on a golf course near by my house.
I also like to skate on my Kahuna Big Stick Skateboard around my neighborhood.
It's like paddle surfing on land! Sometimes I go body surfing at the North
Shore with my friends. I think it is important to find things to keep you
active when you can.
GL: So, how do you conquer a fear of big waves?
VW: I watch the waves for 15 to 20 minutes before I go out
to surf. If I don't feel comfortable, I simply don't go out. It is important to
know your limits. Somebody once told me, to respect the ocean, not fear it. Big
wave surfer, Bobby Friedman, worked with me to show me how to relax when
getting hit by big waves. I guess spending so much time in the ocean you just
become comfortable in the water and waves.
GL: Good advice! What are your favorite healthy foods?
VW: My favorite healthy food to eat is Tambor Acai with
honey, fresh bananas, strawberries and granola! I eat it several times a week
after surfing. I almost always drink water and I don't drink sodas or eat too
many fried foods. I like salads and fresh fruit but I do love my Reeses Peanut

Give newborns boiled water?
Started by longluncher , Dec 30 2012 08:42 PM

Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:42 PM
My MIL insists we give our newborn boiled water... I have no breastfeeding issues so no idea why she keeps raising it. Husband thinks we should listen to her but my midwife and clinic sister have both said no. Am I missing something or should I just keep listening to my own instincts and stay on breast milk only?
Sorry for ranting.. Just had a huge fight with husband on this ridiculous point!
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:45 PM
Dear longluncher's DH.
She is right. No water. No!
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:46 PM
Yes, for what reason does the newborn need water??
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:47 PM
Trust your instinct. They don't need water as a newborn. My mum tried pushing it with me too. I told her I would ask the dr. I did and he said no. That kept her quiet (for a while).
Edited by Bex_star, 30 December 2012 - 08:48 PM.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:48 PM
Yeah .... nah. Breast milk on demand is all a newborn needs .... if the weather is hot offer the breast more frequently etc. Water can be introduced down the track at around the time solids are introduced!
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:48 PM
no water required

No water.
If its really hot weather, offer the breast more frequently.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:54 PM
waters only needed when the baby starts to have teeth...

Ahh thank you

I wonder if your MIL breastfed her kids?

No need for this as so much of the breast milk is water anyway. Your MIL is ill informed. Tell your husband you are the mother NOT her.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:56 PM
No, do not give boiled water, especially when you're still trying to establish good breast feeding routines. Interrupting breastfeeding to give water can cause your baby to feel full on water....hence not put on enough weight. It can also decrease your milk supply. You just need to give breast milk alone.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:57 PM
Please don't listen to opinions of family over those of trained professionals (unless somehow your family ARE trained professionals?!).
The answer is absolutely, positively NO.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 08:57 PM
As long as you are drinking plenty of water and offering mumma's milk more often in the warm weather there is no need. Are you demand feeding?
Ftr my mil tried to convince me to do the same- must be what they did in "the olden days." I asked my nurse and gp and they both said no too. (I did this more to shut mil up as I was sure I was right ).

Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:01 PM
Def no water for your LO. But do make sure you drink enough! Breast feeding and hot weather - you can easily get quite dehydrated.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:16 PM
No, no and NO.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:23 PM
It is something older people seem to have a fixation with! My MIL did too. She was convinced it fixed wind. If we left DD with her I swear her eyeballs would be floating when we ot back!
It didn't hurt her but it was unnecessary.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:35 PM
Tell your MIL and DH that your breast milk changes so that it has higher water content when the weather is hot/humid. It becomes thicker/has a higher fat content during colder weather.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:36 PM
Edited by Tyrone Finkelmeyer, 26 March 2013 - 08:38 PM.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 09:39 PM
It's not going to harm her but it's not necessary either. Yes it was popular probably in your MILs day even for mums that fully B/F - not sure how old your MIL is though. I remember with my first a few aunts suggested that I give rosé hip syrup with boiled water - I smiled and then went and did what I felt was best which was NOT to give rosé hip syrup to my 2week old. Perhaps your husband needs to read up to date stuff on breast feeding your baby - and hopefully he'll realise that what was done 20-30years ago isn't necessarily the best for your baby today.

"It was obviously a bit of a blip on the radar in Hamilton," all-rounder Jimmy Neesham said. The same reality check was evident after the impressive 2-0 test series win. Euphoria quickly subsided after a limp effort in the first one-day international at Eden Park.
Tonight, the contest resumes in the Twenty20 arena in Auckland.
In terms of expectations, though, nothing should change. It's best not to get your hopes up.
As Neesham and his team-mates approach their final two dress rehearsals before the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in mid-March, only a crystal ball could help predict whether this inconsistent outfit will deliver rocks or diamonds.
"It's on the individuals mostly," Neesham said of delivering more consistent performances. "You've got to take the same attitude into every game, whether you're 2-1 up or 3-0 down. We maybe thought we had the wood on the West Indies going into the last game and were possibly a bit under-prepared for what they were going to throw at us.
"They came out batting like a T20. We've got a bit of a blueprint for the way they're going to approach things."
The frustration is this team - like many before - is capable of being a world-beater on any given day. That unpredictability fosters a love-hate relationship.
Of course, there have been positives this summer. The addition of all-rounder Corey Anderson; return to form of Jesse Ryder, prolific scoring of leading batsman Ross Taylor, potential of fast bowler Adam Milne and classy efforts from seamers Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
The introduction of new personnel creates growing pains, but for the Black Caps to capture wide-spread respect and finally live up to the hype, they must overcome their mental lapses and develop a genuine, ruthless attitude. Nothing is a given.
That's no easy feat in the hit-and-giggle T20 format, where luck often has a large bearing on the outcome.
Eden Park's short straight boundaries, which would be under threat from shot put queen Valerie Adams, only enhance the prospect of top edges flying over the rope, rather than into outfielder's hands.
"Going out to bat you're expected to clear the rope a lot and it can be a bit daunting at times," Neesham, who scored 12 runs and had 0-35 from three overs in his last T20 international in Port Elizabeth, said. "As a bowler, it almost clears your mind a bit. All you've got to do is try keep it in the park."
Despite their current limitations, this is the West Indies' preferred format. They are defending T20 champions and ranked fifth in the world, compared with the host's eighth.
With India just around the corner, it would be nice for the Black Caps to serve up some scorched almonds.
At least they never disappoint.

Product description
In 1994, when Chelsea Green published The Straw Bale House, the response from many people was a loud, "Huh?!" Those days are gone. With more than 100,000 copies sold, and straw bale projects underway in most regions of North America, we've entered a new era. Even building-code officials and insurance companies now look favorably upon straw bale buildings, with their extraordinary energy efficiency and wise use of agricultural waste for construction materials. Bergeron and Lacinski's new book Serious Straw Bale is the first to look carefully at the specific design considerations critical to success with a straw bale building in more extreme climates-where seasonal changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity create special stresses that builders must understand and address. The authors draw upon years of experience with natural materials and experimental techniques, and present a compelling rationale for building with straw-one of nature's most resilient, available, and affordable byproducts. For skeptics and true believers, this book will prove to be the latest word. Thorough explanations of how moisture and temperature affect buildings in seasonal climates, with descriptions of the unique capacities of straw and other natural materials to provide warmth, quiet, and comfort year-round. Comprehensive comparison of the two main approaches to straw bale construction: "Nebraska-style," where bales bear the weight of the roof, and framed structures, where bales provide insulation. Detailed advice-including many well-considered cautions-for contractors, owner-builders, and designers, following each stage of a bale-building process. This is a second-generation straw bale book, for those seeking serious information to meet serious challenges while adventuring in the most fun form of construction to come along in several centuries.

Yankees sign Scott Sizemore to a minor league deal
Aug 9, 2014, 10:40 PM EDT
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports that the Yankees have signed infielder Scott Sizemore to a minor league deal and placed him on the Triple-A disabled list.
The Yankees had released Sizemore on July 31, and Sizemore did draw some limited outside interest — particularly from the Athletics — but he decided to go back to the Yankees. He has had 16 plate appearances in the majors for the Yankees this season, singling three times, doubling twice, and knocking in four runs.
Over 268 plate appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Sizemore posted a .272/.332/.424 slash line with four home runs and 35 RBI.

At first I asked myself why, then I thought about what Martin Prado hasn't done since the Yankees got him, so I think I understand.
