Great craftsmanship went into these mirrors. The LEDs are really bright. Installation was a breeze and they look great on my truck. The only drawback I see to using these mirrors is getting accustomed to the smaller viewing area versus my factory mirrors, but that is minor in my book. Other than that, these mirrors are perfect. Thanks AutoAnything for carrying great products. You now have a returning customer!

These mirrors look great, they are very easy to install. I received my first set of mirrors which was damaged during shipment, I was a little concerned as I already had my show truck in the body shop and thought it would delay the progress. I was very impressed with how quickly things were taken care of and within 7 days of the orginal shipment I had my replacment mirrors on my front porch. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE, please keep up the good work.

Decent location and reasonable staff but unfortunately overrun with bedbugs. We booked 2 rooms in different buildings within the hotel. The sweet musty smell in the rooms should have been a warning clue to us ...
I awoke covered with bites (more than 100 bites!)... To my horror, when I checked the room further, I found black bed bug fecal stains and bloodstains on the mattress. I was also fortunate to capture some photos of the offending buggers (see appended photos) still engorged on my blood. My mother and son who were in the other room developed delayed hypersensitivity rashes and bite marks the next day.
Management provided a refund (albeit a partial one) and were apologetic. (Man, I will be really upset if I bring some of these critters home!)
This hotel has potential for thrifty travelers and is in a good strategic location (and I understand bed bugs are in the 5 star hotels too) But right now, this infestation appears to be hotel-wide and quite severe (and unfortunately will be very difficult to eradicate).
Bottom Line: if you are in the mood for donating blood, EconoLodge Dewitt is for you.

Ma Win w I United States Patent MULTIPLE CIRCUIT CONTROLLER SWITCH WITH ELONGATED FLEXIBLE CGNTACT MEMBER Bert Ray Waniass, Warren, Mich, assignor to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich, a corporation of Delaware Filed Feb. 26, 1963, Ser. No. 261,116
Claims. (til. 200-4) This invention relates to an electrical circuit controller and more particularly to a circuit controller that has its parts normally maintained in a neutral position. The preferred embodiment of this particular circuit controller has utility in controlling an electrically driven seat adjuster for an automobile.
Six-way powered seat adjusters are generally controlled by a set of three circuit controllers or switches, one switch controls the front vertical movement of the seat adjuster, a second switch controls the rear vertical movement and a third switch controls the horizontal movement and in some cases the third switclihas an overriding feature to actuate the first and second switches in unison for uniform vertical movement of the entire seat. Such circuit controllers are usually mounted on the side of the. seat so that operation thereof is by feel rather than visual observation; therefore, a single handle for control of all the circuits would be advantageous.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved circuit controller which includes a flexibly resilient movable contact that is constantly urged to a neutral position and is movable therefrom into contact with one or more stationary contacts that are radially and longitudinally spaced thereabout. The resilient contact being electrically connected to a power terminal and the stationary contacts being so positioned that such movement of the flexible member sequentially connects the stationary contacts electrically to the power terminal.
It is another object of this invention to provide an improved circuit controller for a six-way powercdseat which combines control of all circuits in a six-way seat adjuster into a single unitary control handle.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent as reference is had to the accompanying drawings and the following specification wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a circuit controller embodying the invention, the controller handle being cut away. 7
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken substantially along line 2-2 of FIGURE 1, showing the circuit controller with parts in the neutral position.
FIGURE 3 is a bottom view taken from line 3-3 of FIGURE 2 and showing the position of the studs in the base member.
FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view, with portions cut away and in section, of the circuit controller with the movable contact in a flexed position.
FIGURES is an exploded view in perspective showing the arrangement and shape of the stationary contacts and the dielectric base member according to the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, in FIGURES 1, 2 and 4, there is shown a circuit controller housing or case It having a cavity 12 centrally located therein, The cavity 12 has a notched aperture 14 in a concave thrust bearing surface 16. The lower portion 18 of the cavity 12 is generally cylindrical in shape, having two flat sides 21%, 22, and accommodates a generally cup-shaped dielectric base member 24 therein. The two flat sides 26, 28 of base member 24 fit adjacent flat sides 2%, 22 of portion 18 to properly locate member 24 therein. The base member 24 is suitably secured in the case by any well known means, such as tabs 29.
A dielectric handle consisting of a centrally apertured knob 32 and a stem 34 is supported in a power terminal 4t secured to base member 24. The stem 34 has a split end 36 that extends outside the housing 10 through the notched aperture 14.- and is adapted to have the knob 32 snap into place thereon after the stem 34 has been assembled in the housing 10. The power terminal 4%) is in the form of an eyelet fixed by crimping to the centrally apertured bottom wall of the base member, and its bore supports'the ball shaped end 38 of the stem 3 for pivotal and longitudinal sliding movement therein. A movable contact means in the form of a flexibly resilient coil spring member 42 is positioned about the stem portion 34 of the handle 30, with one end secured by tightly embracing the power terminal 40. The neutral unllexed axis A of this spring extends coaxially of the terminal 44 base 24 and bearing surface 16, and its opposite end abuts an enlargement or shoulder 44 of the stem 34, biasing the handle 32 towards the aperture 14 and helping maintain the handle 36 in an upright neutral position. The enlargement 44 has a plate like upper portion it-'5 which is adapted to slidably contact the concave thrust surface 16 of cavity 12 and limit movement of the handle through the aperture 14. In the assembled positions, the spring 42 is under axial compression between shoulder 44 and base member 24 and the resulting thrust of plate 46 against surface 16 provides a centering force tending to center the handle to the untlexed position of the spring.
As best seen in FIGURES 2 and 5, the interior of base member 24 is terraced-with four main levels 52, 54, 56 and 555. The levels 52, 54 and 56 have radially spaced stationary contacts secured thereto circumjacent and longitudinally of the spring 42. Stationary contact 60 is shown in the form of an annular ring secured on the upper level 52 so that its inner peripheral surface is most radially remote from the spring 42 in its neutral or unfiexed position and also most longitudinally remote from the secured lower end of the spring. Stationary contacts 62, 64 are shown in the form of two diametrically spaced half rings mounted on the second or next most remote level 54, and contacts 66, 63, it! are shown in the form of separate arcuate plates mountedon level 56 closest the spring 42. It will be noted that the inner peripheral surfaces of contacts 62 and 64 are less radially remote from the spring in its unfiexed position, and that the inner peripheral surfaces of contacts 66, 68, 74B are even less radially remote therefrom. Contacts 68, 70 are positioned in a groove 71 cut into the surface of level 56 to allow the contacting portions of their inner peripheral surfaces to be on the same level as those of contact 56.
The power terminal extends above the lowest level or bottom wall 58 of the base member 24 and is electrically connected to spring 42 by the aforementioned tightly embracing lower end of the latter. Two contact rings 48, 5t suitably secured to the spring as by threaded interengagement of their bases with spring convolutions, serve to reduce wear of the spring during engagement thereof with the stationary contacts tit) and 62, 64, respectively. Each of the six stationary contacts 60, 62,
64, 6d, 68 and 7%) is connected to studs 72, 74, '76, 78,
d and 82, respectively, which extend through the base 24 and provide terminals by which the circuit controller may be connected in a suitable manner to circuits wherein the power terminal 40 supplies the power source for each circuit.
In operation, the handle 3% is pivoted into one of the notches of aperture 14- to complete at least one circuit by flexing spring 42 into engagement with a stationary contact. Referring to FIGURE 4, as the handle 30 is moved toward the selected notch the ball on end 3d of the handle pivots in terminal 4d), the spring 42 flexes in the direction the handle is moved and engages the stationary contact 66 mounted on the closest level 56. Further movement of the handle in the same direction increases the flexing of the compression spring until contact ring 51) engages the stationary contact 62 mounted on the second level 54. As the handle 30 completes its movement into the selected notch, the contact ring 43 completes another circuit by engaging stationary contact 65% on the most remote level 52. Thus, it can be seen that as the handle 30 is moved into an appropriate slot, the compression spring 42 engages the stationary contacts at the several levels sequentially to complete the circuits with contacts aligned with the selected notch. By properly positioning the notches of opening 14 and the location of the stationary contacts, one movement of the control handle can be made to actuate two adjoining sets of circuits on each level.
After the circuits have been actuated by moving the handle to the desired notch, to break the circuits the handle need merely be released and the biasing force of the compression spring 42 acting with plate 46 and thrust surface 16 will return the handle to the neutral position.
The circuit controller illustrated and described could be used, for example to control adjustments of a six-Way automobile seat adjuster having a reversible electric motor selectively connectible through three electrically engageable clutches to respective actuators for raising the front and/or rear portion of the seat and/ or shifting it horizontally but it is not necessarily limited to such application. In such usage, power terminal 40 could act as a common terminal for all the circuits and be connected to a battery. Studs 78, 80 and 82 could be connected to the means controlling engagement of the respective clutches, and studs 74 and 76 connected to the direction controlling means of the motor.
While one preferred embodiment of the subject circuit controller is shown, it is to be understood that on each level a multiplicity of individual contacts could be mounted to provide a larger number of circuit combinations, and that obviously many other structural details may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.
I claim:

Seat installed fairly easily. Instruction aren't that clear but once you remove the old seat and set them upside down next to each other it becomes clear how to install the brackets. This seat does not allow a full forward of the back rest for rear seat entry. Adjustment and comfort seems good for a Jeep.

The seat in it self is great! But you will need some tool to put it in. One drill,drill bits,some flat steel and square,a small grinder and longer bolts to make it work. You will use most of every thing when putting it in. After that,your set to go!!

Here's the latest entry in the ongoing "Stupid Church Tricks" series, and it's a doozy of a youth outreach music video.
Totally oblivious? Utterly offensive? Epic incarnational ministry? What say you? While there's some serious doubt if this is even real, it's hard for me to paint this one as fake.
If real, my first inclination is to wonder exactly how disconnected a church has to be to let this make it from "hey, I have an idea!" to YouTube. But in fairness, they're trying...something.
Warning: it will get stuck in your head.

2 stars (out of four)
In the spirit of "Creepshow" and other "Tales From the Crypt"-ic anthologies of fright, "Trapped Ashes" is a multisegment lark featuring the work of five different directors, all (alas) stuck with the same screenwriter. Joe Dante handles the wraparound segments with some panache. On a nearly deserted Hollywood studio back lot, a wizened tour guide (Henry Gibson) traps himself and a handful of tourists inside a haunted house. (One good early line: "If this is a joke, an interactive whatever...")
Each nervous guest must tell a true and terrifying campfire-type story in an attempt to appease the filmmaking gods, or something like that. Director Ken Russell lends a 10-ton touch of the hack to "The Girl With Golden Breasts," in which an aspiring L.A. ingenue tells all about an implant operation gone viciously wrong. Sean S. "Friday the 13th" Cunningham improves things, surprisingly (given the quality of "Friday the 13th"), with "Jibaku," a fairly intriguing erotic ghost story about an Anglo couple's encounter with one of the locals. Most rewarding and subtle of the bunch, "Stanley's Girlfriend" takes itself just seriously enough to stick; Monte Hellman treats this McCarthy-era tale of studio ambition and betrayal with a sense of style. Finally, "My Twin, the Worm" (directed flatly by John Gaeta) takes its sweet time telling a story about a parasite competing for food with a fetus. The grown-up version of the latter narrates.
With its gore-comix sensibility and self-conscious flashes of nudity, "Trapped Ashes" clunks along, and (to be completely petty) never really overcomes its clunky title. I enjoyed bits of it, but the whole affair feels like the spotty handiwork of veteran horror geeks geeking-out as best they can, with the material they have. Dante and Hellman in particular deserve far better.

Dasatinib in Treating Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Previously Treated With Donor Stem Cell Transplant
Basic Trial Information
|Trial IDs
|Phase II, Phase I
|Biomarker/Laboratory analysis, Treatment
|18 and over
Trial Description
This study uses a drug called dasatinib to produce an anti-cancer effect called large granular lymphocyte cellular expansion. Large granular lymphocytes are blood cells known as natural killer cells that remove cancer cells. Researchers think that dasatinib may cause large granular lymphocyte expansion to happen in patients who have received a blood stem cell transplant (SCT) between 3 to 15 months after the SCT. In this research study, researchers want to find how well dasatinib can be tolerated, the best dose to take of dasatinib and how to estimate how often large granular lymphocytic cellular expansion happens at the best dose of dasatinib.
Further Study Information
I. To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of dasatinib in the recipient of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for hematologic malignancies.
I. To estimate the non-DLTs associated with administration of dasatinib in ASCT recipients.
II. To estimate the incidence of large granular lymphocytosis (LGL) and its clinical course in recipients of ASCT.
III. To perform correlative in vitro studies to see if the large granular lymphocytes show enhanced cytotoxicity to leukemia/ lymphoma cell lines.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 6 months.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Serum creatinine < 1.5 time the institutional ULN
Hepatic enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT] ) =< 2.5 times the institutional ULN
Total bilirubin < 2.0 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
Patient should be able to take oral medication (dasatinib must be swallowed whole)
Platelets >= 100,000 per uL
Absolute neutrophil count 1,500 cells per uL
Hemoglobin >= 8 g/dL
Patient should be able to provide signed written informed consent:
Before any study procedures are performed, subjects will have the details of the study described to them, and they will be given a written informed consent document to read; then, if subjects consent to participate in the study, they will indicate that consent by signing and dating the informed consent document in the presence of study personnel
Written consent will include a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) form according to institutional guidelines
Performance status >= 60%
Dasatinib use prior to ASCT is allowed
Patients must be between 100 - 180 days after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Presence of large granular lymphocyte (LGL) clone prior to enrollment will not be an exclusion criterion if the LGL clone is < 25% of T cell population
Recipients of first ASCT from related or unrelated donor for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) who are 1-antigen or 1-allele mismatched or fully matched at human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, -C and –DR as defined by high resolution typing
Exclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed congenital long QT syndrome
- Any history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or Torsades de pointes)
- Prolonged QTc interval on pre-entry electrocardiogram (> 450 msec)
Any previous history of >= grade 3 toxicity to Dasatinib
History of significant bleeding disorder unrelated to cancer, including:
Diagnosed congenital bleeding disorders (e.g., von Willebrand's disease)
Diagnosed acquired bleeding disorder within one year (e.g., acquired anti-factor VIII antibodies)
Ongoing or recent (=< 3 months) significant gastrointestinal bleeding
Patients who have evidence of disease progression before day 100 after ASCT
Patients on investigational therapy for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
Recipient of mismatched (allele or antigen level) graft in more than one loci of HLAA, -B, -C or –DR loci will not be eligible, i.e. recipients of 2-antigen or 2-allelele mismatched graft
No malignancy [other than the one treated in this study] which required radiotherapy or systemic treatment within the past 5 years
Women with a positive pregnancy test
Subjects who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (egg, infectious disease) illness

Wp 1.5 seems to be different, or I'm not reading the Wiki properly, but I don't know what files I need to edit to reorder the categories by ID as adding a new category with an earlier letter in the alphabet moves it to the top.
Also, I'd like to adda bg image to each different category, so how do I go about doing this? I saw the clockwork orange theme and thought the idea was interesting.
I know the Wiki isn't a fullproof guide as everything here's voluntary, but it does hurt my non-coder brain a lot. Will there ever be a feature to reorder categories from the dashboard itself? Or is there a plugin than can do this?
Thanks in advance

Con Season over for nowWell, what used to start in May now starts in March and goes quite late in the year. I have no problem with that at all. In fact if it weren't for some other engagements I have I would have even gone to the one in NY since its only a drive away.
All in all i would say that this year has been a break through year for me. I have tried with concerted effort to raise the bar of what you expect from me. I find that the energy of youth is a driving force behind a lot of the creative genius i see and for that reason I pushed my self to leave my comfort zone a bit. There are still many things i need to improve on, but thats part of the process. I hope next year I can say the same thing.
Right now i am working on project i can't say which is not something I have mentioned much of or given exact details on. If I can post something i will do so so you guys can enjoy it as well. With Ramadan winding down, I will be able to have more power and get back into my normal routine which involv

Goodell suspended Saints head coach Sean Payton for the entire 2012 season, GM Mickey Loomis for eight games, and assistant coach Joe Vitt for six.That's all in addition to a $500,000 fine levied against the franchise and the loss of two second-round draft picks (one each in 2012 and '13).The reaction to the NFL's decision from current and former Saints has been a mix of shock and anger. Here's a collection of tweets that have gone out since the punishments were announced:I am speechless. Sean Payton is a great man, coach, and mentor. The best there is.

With the path limiter X andwithout --full-history this is simplified to A--Bi.e. only one of the paths via B or C is chosen. I had assumed that--full-history would keep both paths like this C--M / / A--Bremoving the path via D; but in fact it keeps the entire history.Currently, git does not have the capability to simplify to thisintermediary case. However, the other extreme to keep the entire historyis not wanted either in usual cases. I think we can expect that historieslike the above are rare, and in the usual cases we want a simplifiedhistory.

Entourage Metals Announces Acquisition of Odin Copper-Gold Property
Entourage Metals Ltd. (TSXV:EMT) announced that they have acquired a 100 percent option in the Odin copper- gold Property, north of Colorado Resource's North ROK discovery and Imperial Metals in construction Red Chris mine.
As quoted in the press release:
The Property is located approximately 18 kilometers north of the town of Iskut, BC, and consists of five mining claims covering 6,499 hectares. Access is from Highway 37 on the eastern side of the claim group. Geologic highlights include:
Aeromagnetic data display prominent northeast oriented magnetic high across the western portion of the property.
High-grade copper and gold occurrence located 3,500 meter northeast along the magnetic trend.
Overburden cover has limited mapping and prospecting on the Property.
Entourage's President and CEO, Jeff Sundar, said:
Coupled with our portfolio of gold properties in the Canadian Shield, and our silver property in Yukon, the Odin Property is an excellent addition that complements our geologic team's collective technical strength.
|In 2014 Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU) added approximately 1.8 billion pounds of copper as well as 140,000 ounces of gold contained within the Inferred resource category to its metal holdings. Connect with CUU to learn more.

Prize pool correction
[dopeskillz - 2015-09-21 20:33:14]
We made a mistake when creating the prize pool. We actually can't really give prizes to Top 5, since it's either Top 4 or Top 6 in a double elimination bracket. Therefore we changed the prize pool to Top 6 as follows:
1st - $200
2nd - $150
3rd - $100
4th - $75
5th - $50
6th - $50

Prize Pool
[dirtbox - 2015-08-26 16:32:24]
EDIT: This pool is now defunct. See above.
For those interested in how the USD$625 will be distributed to the winners, it will be done in the following fashion:
1st - $200
2nd - $150
3rd - $125
4th/5th - $75+$75
We are also interested in accepting donations to further the prize pool. If you are interested then let me know. Any donated money will be going to places from 6th place onward rather than increasing the amounts paid out for the top 5 places.

Ok, we have to revise the plan of having two weeks per WB round. The tournament would simply run way too long (until December). So, we decided in the end of having one week per WB round.
This was especially necessary, because we went with a 128 player bracket. This way we didn't have to cut off 11 players that signed up last. It also means there is a substantial amount of byes in round 1.
Head over to the bracket and check it out! Happy fragging!

Schedule, ping rules and servers
[dopeskillz - 2015-08-11 22:18:27]
Finally here are the long awaited infos on the tournament.
The official tournament start will be
17th of August
. But we will release the bracket by coming Friday, so you can actually start playing a couple of days earlier if you want.
The deadlines for winners bracket rounds are set for two weeks. That leaves the deadlines for losers bracket at one week per round. We think that this is more reasonable, since people have jobs and families to take care of and probably cannot play mid-week.
For the ping and server rules, please head over to the
Rules section
and read paragraph #7. Since this is NOT a Europe-centric tournament and since it spans three continents, players should expect to play on higher pings than usually. We will split the bracket into sections for BR, US and EU as good as we can though. This means that winners bracket matches will be mostly local until later rounds. The losers bracket will be mixed though.
Here's a map of the server locations and most common routes (thanks to mushi for putting it together).
(Click for a bigger version).
And lastly: I saw a couple of players that didn't provide a proper IRC channel for QuakeNet. To simplify the process of connecting to IRC, here's a web IRC client that you can use.

Introducing DuelMania WorldWide
[dirtbox - 2015-07-20 22:30:02]
With the addition of a number of new strategically placed servers around the globe aimed to narrow the ping gap between regions and continents, we are now in the unique position to run a competitive multi-continent QuakeWorld duel tournament and we are even putting our money where our mouth is. For the first time DuelMania will not be run as a European-based tournament, but instead as a
tri-continent tournament
aimed to cover players all the way from
South America
North America
The 3 key differences in this season of DuelMania are as follows:
Games will need to be played on the server that gives both players the lowest ping, even if that server is located in another continent.
The ping-up rule has been increased from 38ms to 90ms if one player's ping is above 90ms.
We have prize money. At this stage we have a guaranteed wallet of
which will pay out the top 5 players.
How will it work with server choice?
Normal rules apply when playing someone from your own continent.
You will need to play on higher pings if your opponent is from another continent.
European and South American players will be expected to play their games on servers in the USA (Miami or New York servers are the mandatory options).
If one player has less than 90ms ping and one player has above 90ms then pinging up to 90ms (maximum) is required.
North American players will need to play in Europe or South America if they are East Coast (and it is the fairest option), otherwise if they are west coast they will need to play in Miami or New York and then ping up.
You must use sb_findroutes 1 to ensure you have the best possible route. People not using the best route will be considered to be artificially increasing their ping to sway server choice in their favour. Players who don't wish to use sb_findroutes 1 to have their best route chosen for them should research the best combination of proxies in advance for them to play on New York, Miami and London servers. Refer to this guide:
Some examples?
dirtbox (Netherlands) vs dev (North Brasil) - New York server (equal 90ms)
BloodDog (East USA) vs locust (Sweden) - London server (locust pings up)
BogoJoker (West USA) vs x1bot (South Brasil) - Miami Server (Bogo pings up)
Bulat (Russia) vs x1bot (South Brasil) - New York (both with high pings)
QuakeWorld is turning 20 next year, 1996-2016. Hopefully this tournament will inspire QuakeWorld fans to look again to this incredible game, and celebrate the incredible 20 year anniversary of the one and only, Quake!
SIGN UP NOW and celebrate!

Domain Therapeutics granted Prexton Therapeutics, a spin-off company of Merck Serono, an exclusive option to license and develop metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4) Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) drugs targeting Parkinson's disease. Under the agreement, Prexton will progress the mGluR4 PAM drug candidates into clinical development.
The chemical series was previously developed through a licensing and collaboration agreement signed between Domain and Merck Serono in January 2011 to focus on research efforts on certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, and immune-mediated diseases.
Under the agreement with Merck, Domain contributed optimized compounds developed from its chemical series and received €2 million in up-front payment and research funding, and was eligible for up to €132 million in milestones for the first two products.
mGluR4 is a glutamate receptor, member of the GPCR family. Allosteric modulation of mGluR4 receptors is thought to exert regulatory activity on glutamate-mediated neurotransmission.

Bloomington man injured after falling into 8-foot sinkhole [IMAGE]
One minute, he was walking his dogs; the next, the ground gave way and he found himself in this.
As if we all don't already have enough things to worry about already, here's another.
SEE ALSO: Small alligator found in Bloomington; fisherman says "there's a big one back there too" [PHOTO]
A 65-year-old Bloomington man was hospitalized after he fell in an 8- to 9-foot-deep sinkhole near 102nd Street West and Scarborough Road yesterday morning.
According to the Pioneer Press, the 65-year-old sinkhole victim, whose identity hasn't been released, was walking his dogs just before 9 in the morning when the ground between a sidewalk and manhole cover gave way. He ended up with undisclosed injuries to his face and shoulder. Police say there's no indication that any soil around the sinkhole is at risk of collapsing.
Via KSTP, here's a video of the sinkhole:
A National Geographic sinkhole primer published in March points out that areas with limestone terrain -- like parts of southeastern Minnesota -- are particularly prone to sinkholes. But in general, they're a rare event in Minnesota. In fact, according to CNN, two-thirds of all sinkhole-related insurance claims are made in central Florida.
So maybe you shouldn't worry about sinkholes too much. But man, how much would it suck to find yourself suddenly free-falling into Earth's dark recesses?

Awesome Dutch oven!
I recently bought this pot and love it! I love the look and most importantly the way it cooks so evenly. I have used it both in the oven and on the stove and it has cooked everything beautifully!
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
Beautiful and versatile!
I have been looking at this piece for over a year while awaiting the completion of a kitchen remodel. I finally bought it two week ago and it was well worth the wait. So far I have used it to make spaghetti sauce, soup and carnitas. All were awesome! It is a beautiful accent piece atop my stove when it's not in use.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.

In election year, German unions eye more robust wage gains
BERLIN (Reuters) – After securing hefty wage hikes last year, German unions are pushing for more inflation-busting raises in 2013, confident politicians will back their demands in an election year even as the economy grinds to a virtual halt.
Another healthy wage increase would help the government show it is doing its part to help struggling southern euro zone partners who are publicly pressing Germany to take steps to boost growth and help drag them out of recession.
German debt agency seeks foreign currency bond window
BERLIN, Jan 15 (Reuters) – Germany's debt agency is seeking
the chance to issue bonds denominated in a foreign currency but
volatile financial markets make it tough to find a window of
opportunity that is long enough, the agency head told Reuters.
Carl Heinz Daube, who steps down on Wednesday after five
years of administering Germany's one trillion euros of debt,
also said the agency would continue to build up the curve of
German inflation-linked bonds and was open about maturities.
German trade, industry data point to economy shrinking
BERLIN, Jan 8 (Reuters) – More evidence of sliding German
exports and industry orders on Tuesday compounded concerns that
the euro zone crisis may have battered the region's largest
economy into contraction at the end of last year.
German imports and exports slid in November, narrowing the
trade surplus, and industry orders fell more than expected.
Gloomy German trade data points to Q4 contraction
BERLIN (Reuters) – German imports unexpectedly slumped in November and exports also slid sharply, narrowing the trade surplus, in a further sign the euro zone crisis led to a fourth quarter contraction in the region's largest economy.
Imports slid 3.7 percent, while exports fell 3.4 percent, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed on Tuesday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected imports to increase by 0.4 percent and shipments abroad to drop 0.5 percent.
German and Spanish jobs: To have and have-not
MADRID/BERLIN, Jan 3 (Reuters) – Anyone needing a New Year
reminder of the divide that has been threatening to tear apart
the 17-nation euro zone need only look at Thursday's German and
Spanish jobs data.
To the north, work. To the south, unemployment.
The number of Germans out of work actually rose for the
ninth month running in December, reflecting some of the strains
of the euro zone debt crisis on Europe's largest economy.
German unemployment edges up but holds near lows
BERLIN, Jan 3 (Reuters) – Numbers of Germans out of work
rose for the ninth month running in December but held close to a
post-reunification low, adding to signs Europe's largest economy
remains relatively unscathed by the region's crisis.
Labour Office data showed the jobless figure rose by 3,000
in seasonally-adjusted terms to 2.942 million, much lower than
the consensus forecast in a Reuters poll of 23 economists for a
rise of 10,000..
Germany's Ifo nearly halves 2013 growth forecast
BERLIN, Dec 13 (Reuters) – German economic think tank Ifo on
Thursday nearly halved its forecast for 2013 growth in Europe's
largest economy to 0.7 percent but said domestic demand would
help it pick up next year after a brief contraction this
Ifo said it was cutting its forecast from its June estimate
of 1.3 percent growth as the euro zone's debt crisis had hit the
economy later than expected, delaying the recovery.
German retail sales fall more than expected in Oct
BERLIN, Nov 30 (Reuters) – A bigger than expected drop in
German October retail sales dented hopes on Friday that private
consumption could compensate for the impact of the euro zone
crisis on export activity in Europe's largest economy.
The notoriously volatile retail indicator was down 2.8
percent on the month in real terms and 0.8 percent on an annual
basis, preliminary data showed on Friday. Economists polled by
Reuters had forecast retail sales would fall by 0.2 percent on
the month and gain 1.2 percent on the year.
Fed's Evans wants more easing, Fisher wants limits
TORONTO/BERLIN Nov 27 (Reuters) – Deep divisions at the
Federal Reserve were on display on Tuesday, just two weeks
before the U.S. central bank's next policy-setting meeting, with
one top Fed official pushing for more easing, and another
advocating limits.
The divide underscores the hurdles Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
faces as he tries to win consensus among his fellow policymakers
on the central bank's sometimes controversial efforts to bring
down the nation's lofty unemployment rate, which registered 7.9

German Pirates Party struggles to define policy and stay afloat
BOCHUM, Germany (Reuters) – Germany's fast-sinking Pirates Party struggled to overcome infighting at a congress that ended on Sunday and chart a course for next year's federal elections that may see it cast into political oblivion as swiftly as it arrived.
Support for the Pirates, who surprisingly won seats in four states over the past year, has shrunk to around a quarter of its peak. Their demise could help the centre left recover enough votes to oust conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel.
