Gettysburg, PA – The Gettysburg Bullets advanced to their eighth straight Centennial Conference Championship after beating the upstart Muhlenberg Mules 13-3. The Bullets used a 5-0 first quarter and three of their first six goals coming off extra-man opportunities to coast to the ten goal win. Kyle McGrath and Joe Brody led the way for Gettysburg offensively with a hat trick apiece.
The run that the Muhlenberg Mules went on since March 29th has been impressive. They started the season a disappointing 2-4. From then on they needed to win out to make their first ever Centennial Tournament, and that's exactly what they did. The Mules won eight straight games, including two one-goal games against F&M and Ursinus, who finished tied for fifth in the conference. Unfortunately, for the Mules, they couldn't have caught Gettysburg at a worse time.
Coming off their first Centennial Conference loss in over a year, the Gettysburg Bullets hit their offensive stride today. From the get-go, the Bullets moved the ball at will and generated offensive opportunities with ease. They had a little bit of help as Muhlenberg played man-down for three minutes in the first quarter. Gettysburg made them pay on the extra-man as Trip Dyer capitalized twice from up-top and Zach Pucci added another EMO goal.
A late first quarter penalty to Luke Silverman of Muhlenberg came after he slid hard to Drew Duckworth and knocked him over, finishing on top of him. As he was trying to get up, Duckworth took out Silverman's legs, but the referees didn't see it. As Silverman was running off, he said something to one of the refs. Whatever he said was enough to get an immediate flag for unsportsmanlike conduct that would lead to Gettysburg's fifth goal.
Muhlenberg would finally get on the board with 11:42 left in the second quarter to make it 6-1 before Gettysburg would go on a three goal run. One more Muhlenberg goal made it 9-2 halfway through the third before Gettysburg added another four as they coasted to the 13-3 lead. There might not have been a Gettysburg offensive possession in the second half that didn't receive a "Keep it in" warning for stalling as the Bullets kept possession of the ball and clinically worked it around the perimeter.
Gettysburg dominated nearly every statistical category. The Bullets outshot the Mules 37-21 and picked up over twice as many groundballs (38-15). They were nearly perfect clearing the ball, successful on 22-of-30 attempts, while Muhlenberg struggled only managing to successfully clear it 13-of-20 times. Muhlenberg also was sloppier on offense as they had 18 turnovers to Gettysburg's 11. Nine of Muhlenberg's turnovers were counted as caused turnovers by Gettysburg as their defenders pressed out all over the field. They demonstrated an affinity for throwing back-checks all day. This strategy directly led to one Muhlenberg goal as a short-stick d-middie threw one and got beat much to the displeasure of the coaching staff. This might come back and hurt them if they try it against more powerful offensive teams.
The Bullets came out strong after a disappointing showing against another Centennial upstart in F&M last weekend. They're pretty much a lock for the Centennial Conference regardless of what happens on Sunday. Gettysburg is going for their fifth straight Centennial Championship against Washington on Sunday at 1 pm.
While the Mules' season didn't end as they imagined, they certainly have to have pride in what they accomplished in the program's most successful season ever. They finished the season at 10-5 and fourth in the Centennial Conference. Expect them to continue to get better, as every team in the Centennial does, every year.
From Press Release…
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Sophomores Joe Brody (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) and Kyle McGrath (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) each notched a hat trick and the No. 3-ranked Gettysburg College men's lacrosse team advanced to its eighth-straight Centennial Conference championship game, defeating Muhlenberg College 13-3 in the semifinals Friday afternoon at Clark Field.
Gettysburg (14-2) will now play No. 4 Washington (Md.) College, an 11-6 winner over No. 9 Haverford College in the other semifinal, in Sunday's championship game at 1 p.m. Gettysburg and Washington have now advanced to meet in the Centennial championship game in all eight years that the conference has held a postseason tournament.
The Bullets never trailed after scoring the first six goals of the game. Gettysburg came up big on special teams, cashing in on 3-of-5 extra-man opportunities.
Junior Drew Duckworth (Rye, N.Y./Hotchkiss School (Conn.)) scored two goals and handed out one assist for the Bullets while senior Trip Dyer (Ocean View, Del./Worcester Prep (Md.)) contributed a pair of goals. Junior Zachary Furshman (Miami, Fla./Kent School (Conn.)) held the Mules to a pair goals while making seven saves over 52:35 of action.
With his final goal of the game, Brody reached the career 100-point plateau while upping his team-leading goal total to 44.
Andrew Bell collected six saves while playing the opening 44:41 in goal for Muhlenberg (10-5).
Sophomore Patrick Koehl (Shamong, N.J./St. Joseph's Prep (Pa.)) put Gettysburg on the scoreboard when he punched in his third goal of the season with 9:25 left in the opening quarter. McGrath followed up with back-to-back goals four minutes apart, giving the Bullets a 3-0 advantage with 4:18 on the clock.
Dyer capped Gettysburg's first-quarter scoring, firing in a pair of man-up goals, the second coming with 14 ticks showing, to give the Blue & Orange a 5-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Senior Ben Sufrin (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) made it three straight man-up goals for the Bullets when he converted 1:40 into the second quarter, pushing Gettysburg's lead to 6-0. Mickey Norton broke up the shutout at the 11:42 mark before Brody and junior Zach Pucci (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) notched unassisted tallies over the final 5:21 to make it an 8-1 game at the break.
The Bullets out-shot Muhlenberg 25-8 in the opening half.
Gettysburg settled any doubt in the third quarter, when it outscored the Mules 4-1. Duckworth found the back of the net 1:33 into the stanza before Nick Fletcher made it 9-2 at the 6:11 mark. The Bullets then rattled off four straight goals, with Brody scoring twice over a 13-second span just before the three-minute mark of the third quarter, giving him his 11th hat trick of the year. Duckworth's second goal of the game gave his team a 12-2 cushion heading into the final 15 minutes.
McGrath capped Gettysburg's scoring with 7:55 left, posting his second hat trick of the season. Kyle Farris set the final score with a man-up goal with 1:52 remaining.
Gettysburg out-shot Muhlenberg 37-21 and held a 38-15 advantage in ground balls. The Mules won 11 of 19 face-offs.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
The best things about Poland
Resilient Spirit of Warsaw
Warsaw's enchanting Market Square, with its Easter egg colored buildings and twinkling lights is the perfect spot to soak up the beauty that is Warsaw. While feasting on delicious Polish treats, it is not at all apparent that approximately 85% of the entirety of Warsaw was once systematically razed. In all the destruction World War II brought about, both in Poland, and Warsaw, its treasure of a capital city, neither people nor buildings were spared.
Yet, the proud, resilient people, chose to rebuild their jewel, piece by precious piece, pouring in all the love they had for their home and capital, having only to base their construction on town plans and paintings. Despite the odds, they were able to recreate one of the the most, beautiful, interesting and exciting cities in Europe.
Sitting here, pondering the strength and resilience such downtrodden people mustered to take on this great project and the beauty with which they did it, reinforces my belief that anything is possible, that the strength and grace of humanity can triumph against all odds.

IC Pro isn't required, but it's a good idea! Keep in mind that since all our mystery shoppers are independent contractors, IC Pro is appropriate for all our shoppers.
Here's a little information about IC Pro status, which is being offered to mystery shoppers who shop for companies using the SASSIE software system (including Beyond Hello):
• IC Pro stands for Independent Contractor Professional
• IC Pro was developed to protect against proposed legislation that could jeopardize independent contractor status for mystery shoppers
• It is a way for shoppers to clearly "declare" that they are an independent contractor by filling out a special online form in accordance with the federal definition of an "independent contractor"
• IC Pro may increase your chances to be selected over another shopper who doesn't have IC Pro status
• It is open only to shoppers who join JobSlinger (JobSlinger is a free website that lists all projects posted by participating mystery shopping providers who use the SASSIE system – "one stop" viewing for your convenience)
• Shoppers do NOT have to join JobSlinger Plus (which has more bells and whistles than the regular JobSlinger membership, but is not free)
• Shoppers access IC Pro from their JobSlinger or JobSlinger Plus account
• Shoppers fill out an online form
o The more sections filled out, the higher the IC Pro score (minimum 40%, up to 100%)
o To achieve the minimum 40%, the shopper must complete the "W-9" section of the form related to "business" statistics
o Other sections on the form can be filled out to increase the IC Pro rating, but are not required
o We encourage shoppers to get an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS (easy to do!) which can be then be used instead of their personal Social Security Number (this is true whether or not a shopper decides to "go" IC Pro)
o Note: The JobSlinger account must be activated with each applicable mystery shopping provider using the "Connections" link on the shopper's JobSlinger home page
• Once a shopper has achieved IC Pro status and activated connections, an icon will display in their profile (similar to the MSPA Certification icon), so schedulers will immediately see it and recognize your status
For additional information, please check the IC Pro FAQs on the JobSlinger website.

I wished I could Tweet threads from this Forum.
Yeah, it was just a random thought/idea I had. Maybe it's not possible and all that, but I thought I would just speak my mind anyway and take the reaction and comments later.
I just got Twitter for the sole purpose getting updated with news and events about snowboarding from either snowboarders themselves or different companies regarding gear or events. It's pretty interesting.
Sometimes I Tweet news articles from sites or my blog entries or videos I find worth watching, even though I don't have all that many followers or friends into snowboarding.
This Forum has interesting threads now and then worth a read by any fan who wants to stay informed or just chat with fellow snowboarders online about topics.
The annoying part is that jut copy/pasting the links takes a lot of the character count and maybe it would be a faster way to just Tweet these.
I personally don't like people that Tweet about their personal lives every 5 minutes just to brag or look cool, but the news factor can be useful from officials or people who know what they're talking about when you're bored and want to read something that's not stupid or when you look for info on certain subjects (it goes a bit faster too).
Opinions: pro or con the idea and/or Twitter? And why.

This is a feature I'm really surprised that Twitter didn't incorporate in the "New Twitter" when they rolled that out.
Opinions on Twitter: it's probably not going anywhere so get used to it I do not care to read about people's lameoid personal lives like "OMG I'm so bored!!! LOLZ!" or "Just ate a cheeseburger." etc. it is harder than you think to "do twitter correctly" just copy/paste links and stuff gets boring real quick and the char limits really put constraint on how much opinion you can give, but overall I have warmed up to using it more and more it's a good way to get in touch with people less invasive than facebook IMO. Companies that use twitter, it's a great tool if they do it right but most companies don't do twitter right they use it just as a means of pushing shit out to the world rather than a two-way communication channel.
Case in point: Knifeshowinc these guys put out great videos and have tons of followers on facebook and even on twitter, but look they're not following anyone. I mean they are literally following ZERO people, which means that they're not interested in engaging their audience, they're trying to just use the twitter as a way of saying "Hey look at what we're doing"
IDK maybe it works for them but I just can't help thinking that they could get a lot more out of it if they put some more in to it.

LONDON (AP) - Orson Welles' personal draft script for "Citizen Kane" is up for sale - from the collection of an American almost as wealthy as the movie's monstrous newspaper mogul, though considerably more private.
Sotheby's auction house is offering the typed script, covered in Welles' amendments and annotations and marked "Mr. Welles' working copy" on the front page.
The script, which has an estimated price of 15,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds ($25,000 to $33,000), is part of a sale of more than 1,000 items owned by the late Stanley Seeger, an affluent collector of everything from Old Masters to historical oddities.
Other lots to be offered March 5 and 6 in London include 100 million year-old dinosaur eggs, Winston Churchill's armchair and a cocktail shaker once owned by Al Capone.

I would just like to say that the disease can take up to 21 days from exposure to start showing symptoms so any quarantine should be done for at least 3 weeks - closer to 4 to be safe. The disease can also travel through the air.
Virkon is about the only thing that will kill the virus and it is cheap and easy to use. Wouldn't hurt to disinfect your stall :)
Good luck to everyone affected!!!

What is a PDS Tornado Watch?
CINCINNATI - A PDS Tornado Watch is a watch issued when the National Weather Service deems the incoming storm literally a "particularly dangerous situation."
A PDS Tornado Watch are issued when the forecaster has high confidence that multiple strong (F2-F3 on the Fujita Scale) or violent tornadoes (F4-F5 on the Fujita Scale) will occur in the watch area, according to the Storm Prediction Center (SPC).
PDS Tornado Watches are rare; of 3,058 Tornado Watches issued during the period 1996-2005, only 7 percent (216) were PDS watches, according to the SPC. The greatest concentration of PDS Tornado Watches was in the lower Mississippi Valley, with a secondary maximum over the traditional "Tornado Alley" area of the Plains states. No area averaged more than 2.5 PDS Tornado Watches per year for the period. These kind of watches are even rarer in the Tri-State, with a maximum of just six being issued in any part of the Tri-State between 1996-2005.
The SPC says all tornadoes are potentially dangerous and most F2-F5 tornado events still occur in regular Tornado Watches. The lack of PDS wording in a watch should not be interpreted as downplaying the threat to life and property. However, the SPC says when the PDS wording is included the threat is to be considered as substantially higher.

While Skinny Black (Ludacris) enjoys life as a platinum-selling artist, his former rap peer DJay (Howard) works the Memphis streets as a small-time pimp. But a chance meeting with old friend Key (Anderson), coupled with the news that Skinny is coming to town, convinces DJay that he might have one last shot at the big time…

Jordan Schrader and Martha T. Moore, Swannanoa youth inmates allege sex abuse, Ashville Citizen-Times,
January 10, 2010
One in four boys at Swannanoa Valley Youth Development Center report being sexually abused while in custody, according to a U.S. Justice Department study that finds 12 percent of youths in juvenile prisons across the country report sexual abuse.
Most of the reports nationwide involve female staff abusing boys. Allegations by the young male offenders housed at Swannanoa Valley came against staff members, not fellow inmates.
The study, the first of its kind, shows a rate of sexual assault more than seven times higher than that indicated by a 2008 Justice Department report that collected sexual abuse claims to juvenile facility administrators. It is also higher than a similar study of adult prisons because of the "very high rate of staff sexual misconduct," said Allen Beck, who directed the survey for the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
North Carolina officials said the study overestimates abuse.
Officials looked into three false reports of sexual abuse at Swannanoa Valley in the 2008-09 period studied, said William Lassiter, a spokesman for the Department of Juvenile Justice.
"Two said they completely made it up, and the other said they were just really mad at the staff and how they handled something," Lassiter said.
The survey of 9,198 youths ages 13-21 — all in custody by order of a juvenile court — included methods to eliminate interviews considered unreliable. The survey covered 195 facilities, at least one in each state. About 26,550 juveniles — 91 percent of them boys — are held in more than 500 such facilities around the country.
The survey showed that 10.3 percent of youths reported the sexual contact was with staff, compared with 2.6 percent who reported sexual victimization by other youths. In nearly half the incidents with staff, youths reported having sexual contact as a result of force.
The study sets a wider definition of sexual contact than rape, Beck said. Nonetheless, "these are all things that in the outside world would be considered violent or, by definition in law, they are illegal," he said.
Sexual victimization of youths in custody "is one of those hidden closets of the system," said Bart Lubow, director of the juvenile justice and strategy group for the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which advocates for children. The rates at the worst facilities are "so high they're stunning," he said. "I am, on the other hand, never surprised as people peel the layers of the youth corrections onion and expose more and more things that make you cry."
Linda McFarlane of Just Detention International, an advocacy group focused on eliminating sexual abuse in prison, called the highest rates of abuse "shocking beyond belief."
"The incredibly high rates of staff misconduct is shocking and disturbing," McFarlane said. "We just need to do a better job with training and recruitment and hiring and supervision."
The survey showed that gay youths reported higher levels of sexual abuse from other juveniles, and so did youths who had been abused before coming to the facility.
That makes the survey valuable for juvenile facilities other than the type covered in the survey, she said. "While we can't say we know what's happening in, say, the smaller group-home settings … we can look at the information in this report and use it to protect those (particularly vulnerable) kids."
In Maryland, where 36 percent of youths surveyed at Backbone Mountain Youth Center said they had been victimized, the state Department of Juvenile Services said in a statement Thursday there will be an independent investigation by the state human resources and health agencies.
In North Carolina, where the state runs nine long-term lockups called youth development centers, the study found a third of girls at Samarkand Youth Development Center in Eagle Springs reported being victimized.
At Swannanoa Valley, 17 of 51 youth responded to the survey, and 25 percent reported sexual abuse.
Lassiter said the state's own surveys have showed abuse to be much more rare.
N.C. Juvenile Justice Secretary Linda Hayes called the federal findings "suspect" in a statement.
"Given these findings that some juveniles were making false allegations during the period that surveys were being done on campus, the data become suspect," Hayes said.
Swannanoa Valley faced a series of lawsuits in 2002 alleging routine sexual abuse there. A year later, former Swannanoa counselor Brian Wayne Harkins pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Buncombe County District Attorney Ron Moore said he hasn't heard a whisper of allegations of sexual abuse by staff since Harkins' prosecution.
Employees have been vigilant against abuse, he said.
"If that much sexual abuse by staff was occurring," he said, "that is not the type of thing that everybody working there wouldn't know."
Moore said the survey probably overestimates staff abuse and underestimates abuse by other students.
"Traditionally, they had a lot of sex offenders housed at Swannanoa," said Moore, who favors tighter security there. "One would expect some of them to continue to offend."
The department provides ways for youth to report misconduct and abuse, Lassiter said, including twice-annual anonymous surveys, access to chaplains and special boxes in dormitories where students can drop anonymous letters to Hayes.

Studying stalagmites – cave deposits that grow from the floor, and can sometimes reach the ceiling – can reveal more data about what our planet's climate looked like in the distant past. Experts are now using data contained within these structures to study instances of past climate change.
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), in Pasadena, say that cave systems are very likely to respond to changes occurring in the environment outside, especially to variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
Since the start of the Industrial Age, these concentrations have been growing at an ever-accelerating pace, and experts believe that this change is reflected in the composition of cave stalagmites. At this point, most historical climate records are extracted from polar ice cores.
This means that the datasets contain a bias towards high latitudes, and sediments collected from the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean. It may soon be possible to augment this information with data collected from caves around the world.
According to geologists, a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon called El Niño is one of the main factors influencing climate variability today. Its point of origin lies in the equatorial Pacific, an area not covered by ice cores samples.
"Stalagmites are the ice cores of the tropics," explains Caltech professor of geochemistry and global environmental science, Jess Adkins. He led the team that recently collected stalagmite data from caves in northern Bornea.
Together with Caltech colleague and geochemist Kim Cobb, the expert analyzed oxygen isotope levels in these samples. This allowed the team to reconstruct a history of the climate over the tropical West Pacific during the late Pleistocene Era, which ranged from 570,000 to 210,000 years ago.
Details of their research were published in the May 3 issue of the top journal Science Express. Nele Meckler, who conducted the work as a Caltech postdoctoral scholar, was the lead author of the paper.
Interestingly, the samples revealed no traces of the Mid-Brunhes Event (MBE), a period that occurred around 430,000 years ago, when atmospheric CO2 levels spiked in the Arctic by about a third. This led to significant temperature increase in the area, and experts wanted to know whether the Equator suffered similar effects.
No signs of elevated temperatures or CO2 concentrations were discovered in the stalagmite records. This suggests that climate interactions were significantly more complex at that time than researchers were first led to believe.

Advice to Management
Spend more time with junior employees. Teach them about firm history and past mistakes to be learned from. Memos from the chairman should be mandatory reading for every new employee.

PAWTUCKET — Whether its a gaggle of young dancers or gymnasts with money jars or a lone jobless person with a cardboard sign, the act of begging for cash from motorists at stoplights and busy intersections is one that has drawn the ire and concern of residents and city officials alike.
Putting public safety at the forefront of its decision, the City Council on Wednesday night voted to have Police Chief Paul King begin enforcing an existing city ordinance that prohibits people from soliciting money from drivers at intersections.
That enforcement could technically result in a disorderly conduct charge where, if found guilty, a person could face imprisonment of up to 30 days or a potential fine of $50 to $500.
However, King told The Times that he will be instructing officers to issue warnings to the organizations and doesn't anticipate any disorderly conduct charges to be imposed unless there are repeat offenders. Even then, any violation would be issued only to the adults involved in the organization and not the children. "We're not looking to lock anybody up over this. I told the officers to issue a first warning and if necessary, a second warning, and hopefully they will get the message," he said.
King added that it is legal for organizations and groups to solicit funds on private property, as long as they obtain permission from the owner. "These solicitations just can't take place in the streets," he said.

What's an Insight?
Some planners refer to themselves as customer insight researchers and the best marketing is often said to come from a great customer insight. But is a customer insight?
Some planners refer to themselves as customer insight researchers and the best marketing is often said to come from a great customer insight. But is a customer insight?
Jeffre Jackson, former head of planning at W+K Amsterdam isn't quite sure.
"But now, after years of pretending to be a planner, I'm finally prepared to admit that I've never really understood what an insight is.
"I imagine the gold standard for this kind of insight is something like, "Hip German mothers are meeting on particular subway lines in the middle of night for impromptu diaper changing parties."
"Maybe an insight isn't a new piece of information, but a new way of interpreting existing information. The effect is not so much "I never knew that" as "I never thought of it that way before". Which implies that the insight, as the thing that changes minds, needs to be communicated to the audience, not simply used as a way to get to them or prove that the brand somehow "knows" them."
One of the great thing about blogging is that the comments often help to answer the question. Amelia says
"I was lucky enough to work with Jon Steel when I was living in New York. We were working on a Pfizer allergy pitch. Jon always talked about the difference between passive observations and active insights. In this case a passive observation was that people feel really shitty when their allergies play up, whereas an active insight would be that most people tend to put up and shut up, but once they think about the impact that their allergies have on others they start to re-think."

Oregon will host its annual alumni game Friday, with one current major leaguer and several knocking on the doorstep scheduled to attend.
The Ducks continue to work on kickoff coverage, though Matt Wogan is doing his best to make that a moot point this season.
Nose tackle Alex Balducci continues to develop into a playmaker as the Ducks prepare to host WSU on Saturday (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
Oregon's defense continues to demonstrate improved tackling as the Ducks prepare to host WSU on Saturday (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
The coaching staff continues to closely evaluate three quarterbacks as the Ducks prepare to host WSU on Saturday (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
The Ducks turn their attention to Saturday's visit by Washington State (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks) after winning at Colorado last week.
Oregon dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball Saturday to break a halftime tie and win at Colorado.
The Ducks used a reverse pass featuring Bralon Addison and frequent two-back sets to spark their offense in Saturday's win at Colorado.
Oregon used a dominant rushing attack to pull away in the second half and win Saturday night at Colorado.
Oregon was limited by Pac-12 rules to 70 players for Saturday's game at Colorado.
The scout-team spotlight shines on a player whose father was once recruited by the Ducks -- by a current UO assistant, no less.
With Saturday's game at Colorado looming, the Ducks used their walk-through to address assignment and communication issues.

DERBY LINE - A meeting is scheduled to discuss the possibly of putting a gate at the U.S./Canadian border on Route 5 in Derby Line, and the idea is already generating mixed comments.
Apparently many people are still driving into the United States without checking in at U.S. Customs, and traffic is continuing to build up and create conflict. GSA (U.S. General Services Administration) reached out to Derby Line officials regarding a meeting to address the issue.

Grant signed to help Afghan farmers
A $100 million grant that will give Afghan farmers more access to financial credit was signed at a ceremony today at Kabul's Badam Bagh Demonstration Farm.  The main purpose of the grant, which is called the Agricultural Development Fund is to help Afghan farmers expand their production. This will further improve Afghanistan's economy and eventually improve the standard of living in the country.
American officials led by U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, Afghan Minister of Agriculture Asif Rahimi and Afghan Minister of Finance Omar Zakhilwal were present at the ceremony.
"The $100 million grant will lend money to financial and non-financial institutions, such as banks, microfinance institutions, farm stores, agricultural depots and food processors.  These loans will then be extended to farmers for necessary equipment, seed and other materials to expand agricultural production, " said a press release issued by the Embassy of the United States in Kabul today.
"Today'Äôs grant signing ceremony is an example of the United States Government'Äôs commitment to help the many small commercial farmers in Afghanistan to increase their production and succeed,'ÄĚ said U.S. Ambassador Eikenberry 'ÄúI look forward to visiting farms and agricultural businesses around the country that have expanded their enterprises with financing obtained from the new Agricultural Development Fund.'ÄĚ

A 1945 amphibious DUKW, also known as DUCK is going under the hammer at eBay. The DUKW is an amphibious version of a 2 1/2 ton General Motors truck. Somehow, the owner managed to get hold of a sixty-year-old amphibious vehicle that had only been used for 300 miles. It is an ex-USMC model of a type that was used to deliver supplies to ships at sea. Most of the parts are original and there is some minor surface rust, but it is in working order, which is quite a feat for a vehicle of its age.
Unfortunately, for the vast majority of us who are under-funded, bidding is already at $50,000. With a few more days to go on the auction, it is going to get even higher, oh well.

The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to email@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.

Glasgow's Peter Horne scores incredible winning try vs Northampton Saints
Glasgow Warriors snatched their first Heineken Cup win of the season on Saturday as they knocked Northampton Saints out with a sensational last gasp try from replacement back Peter Horne, who sprinted half the length of the pitch at Scotstoun.
Saints needed a bonus-point victory to stand a chance of qualifying for the last eight, and when Ben Foden scored to tie things up at 20-20 with ten minutes left in the game, it looked possible.
A penalty with two minutes to play then allowed them to kick for the corner and drive things up in search of the fourth try, but indiscipline from prop Alex Waller resulted in a yellow card for punching, and a chance for Glasgow to clear up field.
What followed was a truly memorable try on full time, rich reward for the the loyal 4293 fans that braved the icy conditions. "To get a finish like that was great." said head coach Gregor Townsend.
"It's a reminder of where we should be, winning games in the Heineken Cup. We have been competitive, but we're here to win and that will be a good boost to us in the knowledge that if we play well, we'll get the win.
"If there is any player that deserves a try like that it is Peter Horne. He puts in the most work of any player to improve himself. He is really committed. He gets back on his feet and makes tackle after tackle. Not just the finish, which was outstanding, but his pass and support work."
The Warriors had only pride at stake, but that was enough as they pulled the win out the bag right at the death, with Horne being swamped by team mates after scoring one of the tries of the season.
"I've never been kissed by so many boys," he said post match.
View the Alex Waller punch and yellow card that occurred just minutes before this try.

Jackson Judge Removed From Bench For "Judicial Misconduct"
Throughout his 34 years on the bench, Judge James Justin wrote off nine tickets for himself and his wife, along with several others for friends. But even before these cover-ups surfaced, Jackson's Chief Appellate Attorney Jerry Schrotenboer says a grievance was already being filed against him: "He was always a different kind of a judge. He would order a defendant to write an essay on something. The other judges didn't do that. He would ask, I remember once, a defendant to lose weight."
Eight counts of favoritism, alterations of court information, lying under oath and dismissing cases improperly are outlined in a 31 page opinion issued today by the state supreme court. The misconduct has spanned decades according to Schrotenboer: "I remember he was kind of doing that I think in the late 1980s and my office put up a stink about it, and I kind of thought he had stopped. But apparently, he had not."
Chief Judge Darryl Mazur tells us he tried to change Justin's behavior for years, stating: "I had removed certain privileges from him and his staff to access and enter court records into state and court data bases in an attempt to correct, or at least limit, this conduct...When it became apparent he had his own agenda and would not follow the directives agreed upon I asked the state court administrator to file the complaint."
After 25 years of working with Justin, Schrotenboer believes he is still a good man who simply chose the wrong profession: "He may have made some mistakes. He probably did in fact deserve to be removed, but he always meant well."
Justin's only responsibility now is to pay off all the fines which are long over-due. The remaining three judges hope to have a replacement for Justin as soon as March.

You would think that a man who's as heavily photographed as Johnny Depp would be comfortable with getting his picture taken. You would also think he would have enough media training to know when to say the right thing. But in light of a recent pronouncement of his, we're going to have to believe that that's not the case at all.
RELATED: Police Advise Women To Stop Wearing Skirts To Avoid Sexual Assault
That's because Depp told Vanity Fair's Nick Tosches in an interview that being photographed professionally (like for a magazine, or something) feels like being raped. We take it to mean metaphorical rape, since as far as we can tell Depp has never been the subject of sexual assault himself. But we'll let him explain:
"Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped … It feels like a kind of weird — just weird, man." He'll pose with fans, "But whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it's like — you just feel dumb. It's just so stupid."
Huh. Wonder if he made this statement before or after he did the shoot for VF. Although to be completely fair, Terry Richardson did take this picture, and we can imagine that anyone who goes to his studio feels a little uneasy.
RELATED: Sexual Abuse Accusers Now Suing Dov Charney For Defamation, Too
But let us ask you this, America: would you take a look at some of Depp's past professional pictures and tell us if you think he looks like he's being ravaged against his will? Because for the most part, he looks just fine to us.

this is some kind of spaceship or something.

Both Mr. Tyler and I know racism. Racism, however, did not just pop up in Grand Haven within the last three and a half years because of President Obama and Erik Holder; a connection Mr. Tyler seems to be making. This was not so much an opportunity for Mr. Tyler to promote a conversation on racism as it was to promote a political agenda.
There are far too many levels involved in racism to be discussed in a couple of letters to the editor. However, Mr. Tyler's letter and the turnout at the May 16 forum at the Community Center clearly shows the desire of area residents to discuss racism. Discuss, not debate. Debating only allows both sides to dig in heels on positions while using shrill inflammatory terms and phrases to win points with supporters. Discussion offers understanding.
I have been associated with the Institute for Healing Racism, as a participant and as facilitator, for 12 years. Grand Haven at last has an opportunity to lift this unspoken shroud that has covered my lovely harbor town for my 64 years.
There are organizations like the institute, Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance and The Oneness of Humankind that can be called on to aid in the conversation. These organizations provide safe environments for people of goodwill to openly discuss racism. Nothing will be settled with unorganized heated statements over coffee at local establishments. That neither creates a safe environment for discussion nor an opportunity for education.
Everybody can now see the elephant in the community. We cannot control it by not talking about it. We cannot make it go away by pointing fingers. We can diminish the size of its footprints and the stuff it leaves behind as it walks around our community.
I've seen this community come together for boardwalks and schools. Come on Grand Haven! Let's begin the conversation.
— James Bol, Grand Haven

To most people, the phrase "bullet line" no doubt conveys an image of fast Japanese trains; but in Alaska, it means a small diameter gas pipeline running the 730 miles across the wilderness from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean to the state's population centers. For nearly half a century, the heating and power requirements of South-central Alaska (where Anchorage and adjacent communities are located) have been met by gas produced in nearby Cook Inlet. But the aging fields in the Inlet, which have been producing since the 1950s, are nearing exhaustion, and policymakers are concerned about how that source will be replaced to provide heat for the homes of the nearly half million population of the region. For unrelated reasons, the home heating oil that has been used in the state's second largest city, Fairbanks, is also becoming dramatically scarcer.
Although there are vast quantities of gas available on the North Slope, currently there is no way to move that gas other than by truck. For decades this so-called "stranded gas" has been the focus of projects to build a large gas pipeline, paralleling the existing oil pipeline, that could move the gas to tidewater for export. Although efforts continue to construct such a giant pipeline, it will clearly be many more years before gas from such a line could be made available to Alaska residents. Thus has arisen the concept of the "All – Alaska pipeline," or bullet line. In 2010 the state legislature provided initial funding through the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. AHFC then established as a subsidiary the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, which has moved forward by obtaining hundreds of miles of right-of-way, seeing to the completion in December, 2012 of an Environmental Impact Statement, and devising initial plans for a 500 million cubic feet per day gas line. The plan requires several hundred millions of dollars of state money to move forward into the design phase, but may ultimately seek both private equity and debt financing to carry the estimated $7.7 billion capital cost. Current plans call for the line to be completed by 2019. Whether this project will prove viable will depend in part on funding from the current legislative session that just got underway in Juneau. Lawmakers must weigh the costs of this project, in a time of declining state revenues, against the possible alternative sources of energy to prevent their constituents from freezing in the dark. More information about the in-state pipeline can be found at the website of the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.
