For those who doubt that the principal scene of conflict of World War II was other than the Eastern Front, the Russian casualty figures settle the issue. During almost four years of total war fought across the unending vastness of the Russian Steppes, among the ruins of the Soviet Union's towns and cities, and through the devastation of Eastern Europe to the very heart of the Third Reich in Berlin, nearly nine million Red Army soldiers were killed and 18 million were wounded.
From October 1944 to May 1945 alone, the Red Army sustained 319,000 fatal casualties. Also, of more than 4.5 million Red Army prisoners captured by the Wehrmacht, only 1.8 million ultimately survived. Many of them were then persecuted by an unforgiving and suspicious Soviet Union regime. The wholesale destruction of Russian towns and villages during combat, and the reprisal operations and executions carried out by the SS and the Wehrmacht during an uncompromising counter-partisan campaign, resulted in at least 18 million Soviet Union civilian war dead. Altogether, some 26 million to 27 million Soviets died. In contrast, this was more than five times greater than the total German war dead incurred from 1939 to 1945.
World War II Timeline: August 5, 1943-August 14-24, 1943
In August 1943, Nazi forces began withdrawing from Sicily and the Allies won key battles in the Pacific. Highlights of this period are presented in the timeline below.World War II Timeline: August 5-August 24
August 5: The Soviets recapture the city of Orel, Russia, from the Germans.
Sweden revokes the right of troop transit it had granted to the Germans at the beginning of the war.
A series of fierce battles concludes in the Pacific island chain of New Georgia, where the Japanese fled following their defeat on Guadalcanal. The Allies emerge victorious, capturing the airfield at Munda on New Georgia.
August 6-7: A small Japanese fleet attempting to resupply Japan's Solomon Islands base at Kolombangara is intercepted and badly damaged by a fleet of American destroyers.
August 9: In one of the first viable challenges to National Socialism in years, several German leaders form the Kreisau Circle, a resistance group calling for, among other things, the "acknowledgement of the inviolability of human dignity as the foundation for an order of peace and justice."
August 12: With Sicily all but lost to the Allies, Nazi Germany begins the successful withdrawal of a substantial portion of its reeling defensive force. Casualties include 32,000 Germans and 132,000 Italians.
More than 600 British Royal Air Force (RAF) bombers pummel Milan, Italy.
August 14: On orders from General Dwight Eisenhower, foul-tempered General George Patton apologizes to the two American soldiers he slapped in field hospitals after accusing them of malingering.
August 14-24: Allied leaders meet in Quebec for the Quadrant Conference, at which they hammer out details for the next phase of the war. It is decided that both the invasion of France and the occupation of Italy remain on the table. The invasion of France will take precedence.World War II Headlines
The following World War II events were among those that made headlines in 1943.
Allies' Operation Strangle continues in Italy: British general Bernard Montgomery and American General Dwight Eisenhower study the Italian mainland. The lack of coordination between Allied commands in Sicily not only prolonged the fighting but also contributed to the escape of more than 100,000 Axis troops and thousands of vehicles across the Strait of Messina to the mainland. For several months, the Allied air force had been active in its own operation over Italy, Operation Strangle. The objective was to shut down the Axis supply lines throughout Italy. Rail facilities, railroads, and bridges were pounded from spring 1943 to 1944.
Battles rage for Soviet Union city of Kharkov: Kharkov, the fifth largest Soviet Union city, was captured by the German Sixth Army on October 24, 1941. Soviet Union troops failed to recapture the city in May 1942. German defenders held off another Soviet Union attack in February 1943, but abandoned the city on the 16th when it was obvious they would be surrounded. Reinforced, these Germans mounted a counterattack in early March. Holding off Soviet Union attacks, the Germans retook the city on March 15. In the offensive thrust following their victory at Kursk, the Soviets drove German troops out of Kharkov for good in August.
Germans meet Corsican resistance: From their mountainside position, a group of Corsican patriots fires upon occupation forces. When German and Italian troops occupied the French island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea, they were harried by highly effective resistance fighters. The tangled scrubby foliage on Corsica's mountainous terrain, called maquis, not only gave patriots a place to hide but also gave its name to the entire French resistance movement -- the Maquis. On September 9, 1943, Corsicans rose up to participate in their liberation by the Free French and other Allies.
Italy surrenders to Nazi Germany: When Italy surrendered in early September 1943, there was much celebration in America's Italian communities, for many had immigrated to escape Mussolini and his Fascist policies. Once Hitler learned of Italy's surrender, he ordered the German occupation of his onetime ally and the arrest of all Italian troops. More than 6,500 Italian soldiers were executed in Greece for allegedly resisting arrest. The Germans also removed 50,000 Allied prisoners from Italy and sent them and 268,000 Italian troops to labor camps in Germany.

Carolus Linnaeus originally described the permit in 1758, classifying it within the jack family carangidae. He initially named it Labrus falcatus, but later taxonomists reclassified the permit within the genus Trachinotus, grouping it with similar species such as the Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), the palometa (Trachinotus goodei), and the blackblotch pompano (Trachinotus kennedyi). Though the permit has been confused as all of these fish, Trachinotus falcatus serves as the only valid scientific name for the species. Falcatus, a Latin adjective that translates to "armed with scythes," appropriately describes the large sickle-shaped dorsal fin that breaches the surface when permit feed.
Common Names
Autiranon (Palicur), blå taggmakrell (Norwegian), blå taggmakrill (Swedish), carangue á plumes (French), carangue plume (French), cobbler (English), fausse karang (Creole, French), palometa (Spanish), pampanillo (Spanish), pampanito (Spanish), pampano (Tagalog), pámpano (Spanish), pámpano de bandera (Spanish), pampano erizero (Spanish), pampano palometa (Spanish), pámpano palometa (Spanish), permit fish (English), pompaneau plume (French), round pompano (English), sereia-de-pluma (Portuguese), sernambiguara (Portuguese), sernambiquara (Portuguese), sierpnik okragly (Polish), sinipompano (Finnish).
Geographical Distribution
Permit inhabit the western Atlantic from Massachusetts to southeastern Brazil. They occur throughout the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, and less-frequently in Bermuda. The species has been reported in the eastern Atlantic, but does not regularly occur there. The species is most abundant in southern Florida.
Permit primarily occupy inshore regions such as flats and sandy beaches, and deeper cuts, channels, and holes adjacent to these areas. The substrate of the flats may vary from sand, mud, marl, or sea grass. Permit often swim in water depths less than 2 feet, though due to large body depth, large individuals cannot occupy waters as shallow as other flats species such as bonefish. In deeper waters up to 30 m, permit often congregate around structures such as reefs, jetties, and wrecks where they frequently occur in large schools.
Permit pose no threat to humans, though ciguatera poisoning may result if eaten.

Ian Wallace's Epic JourneyIn the News, Random Notes
Ian Wallace – a Royal Enfield owner, MPVA member and vintage Military Vehicle enthusiast – recently undertook an epic journey with his Royal Enfield Bullet Military. He joined the 2009 MVPA Convoy for it's historic trek across America, recreating the 1919 transcontinenal convoy of the US Army's Military Transportation Corps.
Ian and his Bullet Military started in Washington, D.C. and traveled with the convoy through 8 states to Wyoming.
However, about an hour outside the convoy's stop in Rawlins, Wyoming when the worst happened: Ian was struck by a car while riding his Military. Fortunately, Ian lived to tell the tale but unfortunately, he was badly injured and unable to continue his journey. We checked in with Ian recently who, despite still being in for treatment at the time, was good enough to send us a personal account of his trip:
I am still in a care facility but hope to get out the end of this week. The leg was pretty well banged up, and required a lot of surgery. I still have one more procedure to go in a few weeks.
The convoy trip was something I will always remember. It was like one long parade through towns and villages in the eight states I rode through. At times we had as many as 60 vehicles of various ages and sizes. There was one other motorcycle rider that was with me until my accident, an 84 year old ex Los Angeles Police motorcycle officer, Bill Kreider. We both did escort and traffic control duty when we didn't have the state police or local officers to assist. I learned that I had to disconnect the kickstand ignition shutoff circuit so I could stop in the middle of an intersection and still have the engine running. The Military ran just fine all the way. I checked the tappet clearances once (pictured) and one valve was very, very slightly loose. I also adjusted the secondary chain once. The plan was to do more maintenance in Fallon, NV but of course I did not get that far!
As for the actual convoy. The Lincoln Highway Association had made sure that the towns we would pass through we advised when we would be there. As a result there were always people along the route, waving big and little flags, and the local veterans groups standing in formation with their flags and banners. This was in town after town.
The one image that I will always remember came one overcast afternoon. The convoy was, as usual, behind schedule and we were approaching a small town. Still there were people in their yards along the road, flags in hand, children saluting. Then I looked to my right and saw him.
Up on a gentle grade from the roadway towards a typical middle America farmhouse stood a veteran. He was wearing the best combination of shirt and trousers that would approximate a uniform. On his shirt was a modest line of service bars and a medal. His walker was behind him, and he had set a pole with an American flag to one side. He stood straight and tall in the light rain that had begun to fall. His back was ramrod straight, and he was rendering a perfect hand salute, right index finger at the eyebrow. He wore his veteran's group cap squarely on his gray head. His face was fixed in a determined expression that could be taken for nothing other than his display of patriotism. His eyes were wide and saw each of us as we rolled past his "post†there in the rain on his lawn. This man alone made the trip worthwhile.
As for the route, we took many detours off of US30 to be able to drive on the original Lincoln Highway roadway. Sometimes this took us up narrow streets through villages or long, straight dirt roads between fields of corn.
Thanks for remembering me! The Military will be heading to L & L Classic Cycle in Hubbard (OH) soon for repair. It will be fixed long before I will
Below, we've provided some of Ian's pictures from his incredible trip (and one from the ordeal that ended it). We want to thank Ian for sharing this amazing story with us and wish him the very best as he continues to recover from the accident!

November 27, 2015
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- A Bulgarian man and a Florida woman have pleaded guilty in Birmingham to skimming bank customers' identification at ATMs across the South and using the information to create more than 300 counterfeit credit and debit cards.
Federal officials said 41-year-old Antonio Velikov and 35-year-old Mariana Pashova pleaded guilty to bank fraud, possession of counterfeit cards, and aggravated identity theft.
Prosecutors said the fraud cost the Bank of America more than $862,000, which the two must repay.
Hoover police arrested the two in May 2011 as they attempted to place a camouflaged skimmer on a bank ATM.
They recovered $50,000 in cash and skimmer equipment from their hotel room.
Prosecutors said the two were working with a group that placed skimmers in Alabama, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina.

Harry Redknapp does not believe Gareth Bale will head to either Real Madrid or Barcelona as he is too much of a 'home boy'. Gareth Bale (right) has been linked with a move to Spain (Picture: Reuters/Action Images) Tottenham Hotspur and Wales winger Bale has been linked with a switch to the Spanish giants and that speculation intensified on Tuesday night when former Spurs team-mate Luka Modric admitted he would welcome the arrival of the 23-year-old at the Bernabeu. But Redknapp, who managed Bale at White Hart Lane until leaving the club in June, claims the situation is not as straightforward as that.'He's at a good club and I don't know whether he would [leave],' said the 65-year-old, who is looking to get back into management.'Gareth is a bit of a home boy and a family man, he's close to his family so I don't know [if he would go to Spain].'After suggestions Bale is at the level of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo this week, Redknapp says the Welshman is good – but not that good yet.'He's not Messi and he's not Ronaldo but he's as good as anyone in the Premier League,' added Redknapp. 'There are a lot of great players in the Premier League – Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie among them – but I wouldn't swap Gareth for anyone.'Harry Redknapp was speaking at a charity golf day for CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families, providing clinical, practical and emotional support.

A defiant Bobby Ferguson today asked a federal judge to overturn his conviction, or at the very least, grant him a new trial in the case that could send him and former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to prison for 20 years.
In court documents, Fergusons lawyers argued that the government made numerous cumulative errors during the 6-month public corruption trial and failed to prove its case, which involved tales of extortion, bribery and fraud.
Even taking the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, the government failed to establish the elements of the crimes charged, Fergusons lawyers wrote in todays filing, stressing that the cumulative errors committed at trial require that a new trial be granted in the interest of justice.
In the 46-page filing, Fergusons lead attorney, Gerald Evelyn, listed numerous alleged trial errors, several of which focused on the testimony of the federal agents who investigated the case. For example, Fergusons lawyers argued that certain testimony by agent Carol Paszkiewicz should have been excluded, arguing she over-interpreted text messages and once improperly inserted her own words into a text message.
Evelyn also argued that there was no proof that Ferguson ever funneled any money to Kilpatrick, which was a constant theme during the trial.
Any linkage between Mr. Fergusons cash withdrawals and Kwame Kilpatricks cash deposits and expenditures was missing. ... We submit that the jury reached a conclusion in this case founded upon pure speculation, rather than legitimate inference from proven facts.
Evelyn also argued that one of the lead prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Chutkow, made an error during closing arguments, claiming he impermissibly appealed to the jurors to act as a conscience for the community. In his filing, he quoted Chutkows closing argument.
You together represent the community, and you together can do whats right, Chutkow told the jurors. Corruption depends on indifference. We cannot turn away and ignore the corruption that occurred in this city. It is time for the former mayor and his accomplices to be held accountable for their crimes. It is past time. What you are here to do is assess the responsibility for the shameful events that transpired in this city. That is something that you can do. ... All of us in this room know beyond reasonable doubt that you are just the people to do it.
At the trial, the defense objected to Chutkows closing argument, and a sidebar was held. In todays filing, Evelyn disclosed that conversation:
Kilpatricks lawyer James Thomas: Your honor ... Im going to make an objection that this was a call to community action. It was not a request for the jury to deliberate based on the evidence in the case, but to clean up the city. ... I think that it was improper.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds: I disagree. I dont think there was anything improper about that closing argument.
Evelyn disagreed, stating in the filing: These intentionally improper remarks should have compelled a mistrial, and the court failed to act after hearing the prosecutors closing words importuning the jury to act for the community.
Fergusons lawyers also challenged the testimony of several contractor witnesses who claimed that Kilpatrick and Ferguson extorted them and bullied them into hiring Ferguson, and that they caved into the demands out of fear of losing work with the City of Detroit. Among the defenses claims is that many witnesses were allowed to testify about what other people told them, which the defense considers hearsay.
Specifically, Fergusons lawyers are challenging the testimony of Grosse Pointe tycoon Anthony Soave, arguing he was wrongfully allowed to tell jurors about what his associate Kathleen McCann told him about Ferguson, over the objections of the defense. The same thing happened with contractor Avinash Rachmatle, who was permitted to testify about an out-of-court conversation with his associate Thomas Hardiman, over the defenses objection, they argued.
Ferguson and Kilpatrick have been jailed since March 11, when a jury convicted the pair of more than 30 crimes combined for running what the government called a criminal enterprise through the mayors office to enrich themselves. At the heart of the case were allegations that Kilpatrick and Ferguson fostered a climate of fear in the contracting community by extorting other contractors to make sure that Ferguson was cut in on deals.
Kilpatrick and Ferguson have steadfastly denied the allegations and pledged vigorous appeals.

|Impact of 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), daidzein and estrogen on intact and osteotomized bone in osteopenic rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21803835 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The study investigated influence of 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), daidzein (D) and estradiol-17β-benzoate (E2) on cancellous bone either intact or osteotomized in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. Ovx three-month old rats were fed with soy free (SF) diet during 8 weeks, thereafter, bilateral transverse metaphyseal osteotomy of tibia was performed and rats were divided into groups: rats fed with SF, SF supplemented with 4-MBC (200mg), D (50mg) or E2 (0.4mg) per kg body weight. After 5 or 10 weeks, lumbar spine and tibia of 12 rats from each group underwent computed tomographical, biomechanical, histological, ashing analyses. 4-MBC and E2 improved bone parameters in lumbar spine and tibia; were not favorable for osteotomy healing; decreased serum osteocalcin level. Daidzein improved bone parameters to a lesser extend, however, facilitated osteotomy healing. Lumbar spine, BMD: 338+9, 346+5, 361+6, 360+5 mg/cm3 in SF, D, 4-MBC, E2 after 10w. Tibia, yield load: 98+5, 114+3, 90+2, 52+4 N, in SF, D, 4-MBC, E2 after 10w. Serum daidzein was 54+6 ng/mL in D group, equol was not detected. Alp and Igf-1 genes were down-regulated in callus after D and E2 compared to 4-MBC (week 5). The response of bone tissue and serum markers of bone metabolism could be ordered: D<4-MBC<E2. Treatments were more effective after 5w vs. 10 w. In SF group, bone structure was impaired after 5w, improved after 10w probably due to adaptation mechanisms to osteoporosis. Concluding, it is conceivable that 4-MBC may improve bone tissue in osteoporotic organism; osteoporotic patients with fractures could have benefit from daidzein treatment.

The Bulldogs have never been comfortable throwing the ball under Dan Mullen, and it showed again in 2011; in the six games in which State threw for 30 or more yards more than they gained on the ground, they finished 1-5, with the only win coming against hapless Kentucky. In the six outings in which they ran more yards than they threw or approached a 50-50 balance, they went 5-1. That might not be particularly good news for a Demon Deacon defense that ranked 70th in the country in stopping the run and finished the season giving up 175 rushing yards or more to six of their final seven opponents; the last of those was State's SEC colleagues from Vanderbilt, who racked up a whopping 297 yards on 5.4 a pop in their 41-7 win. But State's rush offense wasn't quite its usual dominant self in 2011, finishing 45th in the FBS, and in dynamic sophomore nose tackle Nikita Whitlock and senior linebacker Kyle Wilber, Wake has some of the pieces necessary to slow the Bulldogs down. If they don't, it's going to be as long an evening as it was for Wake vs. the Commodores.
MISSISSIPPI STATE WILL WIN IF: their secondary does to quarterback Tanner Price and the Wake passing attack what it's capable of doing to it. Throwing the ball is the only thing the Demon Deacons do particularly well from a statistical standpoint -- between rush, pass and total offense and rush, pass, and total defense, their 37th-ranked pass offense is the only category in which they finished better than 70th in the FBS -- but unfortunately for Wake, stopping those throws is what the Bulldogs do best. Led by All-SEC-caliber corner* Johnthan Banks and a pair of sharp senior safeties in Charles Mitchell and Wade Bonner, the Bulldogs finished 23rd nationally in pass defense and held opponents to just 6.1 yards an attempt--the 11th-best mark in the FBS. If the Bulldog secondary lives up to those numbers and bottles up Price and Co., it's all-but-impossible to see the Demon Deacons putting up enough points to win.
THE X-FACTOR: Whether or not Mississippi State will be as focused as they could be. The Bulldogs came into 2011 with higher expectations than 6-6 and the Music City Bowl, and nothing they do against the Demon Deacons will keep their 2011 campaign from being a legitimate disappointment. Mullen almost certainly has a better, more talented team than Jim Grobe, but Grobe has pulled off plenty of upsets over better, more talented teams in his Wake career, and if State isn't ready to play there's no reason they can't be his latest victim.
*In most leagues, or maybe even most years in the SEC, Banks would have been all-conference. But this year he shared a league with Dre Kirkpatrick, Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne and Casey Hayward. So it goes.

Jimmie Johnson, left, talks with crew chief Chad Knaus prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Ariz. / AP
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Heres all you need to know about Chad Knaus as the crew chief closes in on his sixth championship with Jimmie Johnson: When asked about how dominating the pair has been since they partnered in 2002, the relentless Knaus replied: We lose a heck of a lot more races than we win.
True, Johnson has lost 365 races since his rookie season. But hes won 64 with Knaus atop his pit box, and the crew chief prepared the cars for his other two Sprint Cup victories. Knaus was suspended by NASCAR for the first four races of 2006, when Johnson opened the year with wins in the Daytona 500 and at Las Vegas.
It was a rough start to the year for the duo after team owner Rick Hendrick had nearly split them during the offseason. Theyd come up short once again in their bid for a championship, were fed up with each other, and the owner famously made them sit down over milk and cookies to hash out their differences.
Once Knaus returned from suspension in 2006, they never looked back and reeled off five straight titles.
Now, after watching other drivers hoist the Sprint Cup trophy the last two years, they are poised to reclaim their spot on top of the sport Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Johnson goes into the finale with a 28-point lead over Matt Kenseth and needs to finish 23rd or better to win the title.
Knaus acknowledged this week that their success has not been as easy as it has looked.
Jimmie and I have been together for a long time, obviously. Any relationship needs work, he said. Weve had some really good times, weve had some really stressful times together. Weve had some really successful times. Weve had a lot of victories and a lot of faults. Everybody thinks that we dominate and so on and so forth and thats what everybody writes about and the fans talk about, but man, we lose a lot of races, and thats taxing on anybody.
As were trying to do better weekly and improve weekly, its always a challenge. The good thing weve got is that Ive got 100 percent confidence in Jimmie and I feel like he has the same for me, and we know that at the end of the day, all were trying to do is to make each other better with any of our constructive criticism, any of our feedback or any of our suggestions. Its a really nice environment to work in when you know that your driver has your back 100 percent.
Its hard for Johnson not to have complete faith in Knaus, who has dedicated the last 11 years to the No. 48 team. Johnson, a father of two, has taken to 5:30 a.m. workouts. Asked if hes ever able to join Johnson, Knaus scoffed.
Man, Im coming to work at 5:30 in the morning. He gets to go train, Knaus said. We have completely different schedules. If I had the ability to go train at 5:30 and come in at 8:00 or whatever, I would maybe do that. But unfortunately thats not how it works for me. I have to come in and go to work.
Thats the martyr in Knaus, because he wouldnt have it any other way.
Hes a perfectionist to his core, and he expects the same from those around him. So when Kenseths crew botched a pit stop last week at Phoenix in a race that likely took Kenseth out of the title race, crew chief Jason Ratcliff was back-slapping his guys and trying to keep them motivated for the remainder of the day. Had that been Knaus crew, he more than likely would have swapped them out on the spot for another Hendrick Motorsports crew and potentially permanently replaced the offending employees.
Knaus may go down as the best crew chief in NASCAR history. Deep down, he probably strives for that unofficial title. For now, he wont even cop to being the best in the series.
Well, I dont think Im the best crew chief in the garage, he said.
I think Ive got the best team, Ive got the best driver and the best resources. I think that keeping those pieces together is a bit of a challenge and difficult, and thats one thing Ive been very fortunate enough to be able to do. Weve had a lot of changes with engineers and mechanics and pit crew members and we can still run up there, but I feel like that as a whole, what Im trying to improve on isnt really the crew chief thing, its the personal issues, how to communicate, how to continue to improve the respect with the people that work with you and your group and how to communicate properly, how to gain the respect on a consistent basis with everybody that youre involved with.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE: With a month to go in the season, Kevin Harvick very easily could have derailed his championship chances with an outburst directed at team owner Richard Childress grandsons.
Upset that hed been spun by Ty Dillon in a Truck Series race at Martinsville, Harvick had pointed words for Dillon and older brother, Austin, after the incident. He blamed the emergence of the Dillons for his impending departure from Richard Childress Racing, and Childress was livid over the accusations.
Fans speculated Childress would kick Harvick out of the car immediately and write off the remaining four Sprint Cup races.
Instead, Harvick publicly apologized, the No. 29 team hunkered down and goes into Sundays finale with a mathematical shot at winning the title. Harvick is 34 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson following his victory Sunday at Phoenix.
This deal is tough enough like it is, and obviously you dont want things like that to happen, but it did, Harvick crew chief Gil Martin said of the Martinsville incident. I felt like after several phone conversations that we could get right back on track. I never had the doubt about the focus of the team or Kevin once the race started. After the race was over, I felt pretty confident that we were right back on track.
Harvicks final race with RCR is Sunday at Homestead. He grew emotional at Phoenix sitting between Martin and Childress reflecting on his time with the organization and driving for a no-nonsense owner.
I think hed probably sit here and tell you that weve been good for each other because we challenge each other, Harvick said. You know, I obviously handle a lot of situations wrong, but it pushes a lot of buttons to try to make things better. Theres no better way to go out than to do what weve done this year. Obviously we went to Martinsville, and I said things that I shouldnt have said and put everybody in a position that was not good, but I think we had conversations about things after that that probably made us closer as people, and I think as we move forward will probably make us closer as friends.
Harvick will drive for Stewart-Haas Racing next season.

It's only fitting that Monster Distributes has picked up all rights outside of the U.K. for a monstrous property called DOMINATOR, an 80-minute adult CGI feature from Rengamedia, which it is showcasing at Annecy. Rengamedia specializes in the development and production of animation and Manga-based projects for broadcast on TV and the Web.
DOMINATOR takes place in 2020 AD when all-girl rock trio, CrowCut, discover the fabled 'Lost Chord' during a gig, and accidentally summon the Dead God of Rock 'n' Roll - Dominator - to earth. Dominator is on the run from his satanic master, Lord Desecrator, with the stolen Key To Hell, and is followed to Earth by fellow demons Extricator, Decimator and Lady Violator, who've been sent to bring him back. Chaos and mayhem ensue as Dominator and co. thrash their way to stardom, fighting off a myriad of bizarre enemies along the way. Sinister government forces ally themselves with Lord Desecrator to bring about the Apocalypse itself, and Dominator finds himself trying to aid humanity in its struggle against the encroaching Legions of Desecrator. The action plays out to an extreme soundtrack, including tracks by Cradle of Filth, Killing Mode, Sikth and Synthetic.
DOMINATOR is the U.K.'s very first full-length CGI movie, from a team of British and Japanese creators and animators. Vocal stars include Dani Filth death metal band Cradle Of Filth, and Doug Brandley (HELLRAISER). The broadcast premiere is set for fall 2003 on the SCI-FI Channel, a division of Universal Networks.

A 4-year-old girl returned home Sunday as police continue to search for the man seen with her and another seen by her home the night she disappeared
A driver spotted the girl walking with a man about 5:30 a.m. Sunday near 36 NE 64th Terrace. She began honking her horn, and she and a neighbor confronted the man, who ran off.
"I can't talk. I cry all the time," said her mother, Stelle Jacques-Louis.
The girl was examined by doctors and returned home in good health. She was reported missing Friday.
Police plan to distribute flyers of the two sketches in the Little Haiti neighborhood on Wednesday morning.
Anyone with information on the two sketches is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

True PC Gaming - Defining Roguelike Games
View Single Post
June 20th, 2013, 04:58
I hate perma-death. Yeah, it makes you play careful all right - TOO careful. Anything that's a challenge is simply too much of a risk, so you end up fighting oodles of "safe" battles. It is somewhat fun for me to figure out what battles are and aren't safe but not enough to make up for all the easy battles. (Luckily, it's often not hard to find the save game files and back them up yourself.)
On the other side, quite a few games are going the other way where death has no sting at all. Maybe you get pushed back 20 feet and all the enemies that were hurt regenerate. Oh darn. You can just keep flailing away at a ridiculous battle until you get lucky - making it so even a challenging battle isn't actually challenging at all.

Coastal Conservation Ideas
Submitted by
Alice Compton
from Ocoee Florida on
December 13, 2007
Questions and Answers
Question #1.
What if boaters that put their boats in at public docks were
required to put a $20.00 depostit for their litter? The
state/coounty would provide them them with a reusable
conatiner that would hook on the side of the boat. When they
returned the conatiner they would get $18.00 of their
deposit back. The rest would go to clean the beaches.
This is a great idea for limiting the amount of litter
thrown into our waterways, and I like the fact that people
who use the waterways--the boaters, in this case--are also
directly paying to keep the beaches clean. The only thing I
wonder about, though, is how we would pay for the people who
have to hand out the containers, collect the money, dump the
containers out, and so on. I'm sure that's a problem that
could be solved, but we do need to think about it. Do you
guys have any ideas? Drop me a note at email@example.com
if you can.
Question #2.
Could biodegrable fishing line be used? Would it be strong
enough to catch the fish ,but if it stayed in the water 10
hours nonstop it would desinergrate?
This is also a great idea! In fact, there's a place
called "TreeHugger" (see their website here
that sells biodegradable fishing line). It doesn't
disintegrate as quickly as you suggest above, but it does
disappear in about three months. Here's a question to
consider, though--since sea turtles tend to get trapped more
in "big" nets, like those used in commercial-level fishing,
how could we convince that industry to use biodegradable
nets? If we could do that, then a lot of nets that break
free from boats and drift unattended through the sea would
disintegrate and cause a lot less damage to turtle and other
sea creatures.
Question #3.
What kind of sea turle is the hardest to save? Are the
babies in more danger than the older ones?
I would guess that the most endangered sea turtle is the
Kemp's ridley, so in that sense it's going to be the hardest
to save. And, yes, turtle hatchlings are definitely more in
danger than young adult or adult sea turtles. The very fact
that hatchlings start out on land makes them especially
vulnerable (read some more on "Field Trip Earth" to learn
about how much trouble turtle researchers go to in order to
protect sea turtle nests). Once hatchlings make it to the
sea, they are much safer--though they still have a long,
hard road to travel until they are old enough to reproduce.

Fire restrictions in the Lincoln National Forest were officially downgraded Wednesday, and Forest officials are set to begin controlled burns in the area.
According to a LNF press release, the arrival of monsoon rains has lessened the fire danger in the Forest. The fire danger ratings in the Smokey Bear and Sacramento Ranger Districts has dropped to moderate. Fire danger on the Guadalupe Ranger District is still rated as high.
"Stage I Fire Restrictions went into effect on May 21 and 50 days later, on July 9, they will be lifted," Ryan Whiteaker, acting Fire Management Officer for the Lincoln National Forest said. "Our local communities, the public and forest visitors are to be commended for their vigilance and support during the peak fire season in May and June while fire restrictions were in place."
Whiteaker said that because of the high level of compliance, the numbers of human-caused fires have been low, allowing firefighters to focus on initial attack missions and full suppression strategies on all wildfire incidents.
Prescribed burns are expected to begin Wednesday or Thursday, the press release states.
"With the critical months of the 2014 fire season behind us, the Sacramento and Smokey Bear Ranger Districts are planning to take advantage of favorable weather conditions as they resume prescribed burning operations," Whiteaker said.
Firefighters will continue with prescribed fire activities during the remainder of July and into August, as weather conditions permit, Whiteaker said.
According to the press release, Sacramento Ranger District Prescribed Fire Projects include 330 acres of slash piles in Cox Canyon, about three miles southeast of Cloudcroft.
Firefighters are also expected to take on 1,200 acres of slash piles at Spud Forks Piles, about 10 miles east of Cloudcroft in the vicinity of County Road C7 (Dry Canyon). About 1,020 acres of slash piles at Ridge Piles are also expected to be burned, the release states.
Fire crews will light individual piles and progress from one pile to the next. Ignitions are dependent upon weather conditions on the day of the burn and during the burning period. Fire managers monitor conditions closely to ensure that they are within the ranges that have been pre-identified in the burn plan, according to the release.
Prescribed fire projects will reduce fuel loads, which can help minimize potential wildfire risks and impacts to the area. Public and firefighter safety are always primary objectives during fire-related activities and missions, the release states.
During such operations, smoke may be visible from communities that are in proximity of the prescribed fire projects. It may settle into drainages and lower elevations at night, but is expected to dissipate by late morning as daytime temperatures increase. In the event that smoke is encountered on travel ways, motorists are advised to reduce travel speeds and turn lights on, according to the press release.
The public is discouraged from entering areas where burns are taking place — for their own safety as well as that of the firefighters, the release states.

What: Channeling Angelic Energy
When: 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
Where: Fellowship of the Spirit, 2009 E. 13th St. in Farmington
Cost: Free. Donations accepted.
More info: 505-326-5103. Anyone interested should contact Fellowship of the Spirit to sign up before the event.
FARMINGTON — Throughout her life, Carol Ann Canzona says that people have helped her and provided her with what she describes as unconditional love.
She calls these people "earth angels."
Canzona, who is an angel therapy practitioner, will be coming to Farmington on Saturday to offer free angel readings.
Angels, Canzona said, unconditionally love and help people. An earth angel is someone who brings these qualities to earth and lives them out, she said. For Canzona, one of her earth angels was her grandmother.
"My grandmother had the brightest, kindest attitude of anyone I ever knew," Canzona said.
About 30 years ago, Canzona began journaling, recording her thoughts and feelings.
Then, about 14 years ago, something happened that Canzona can only explain as channelling angels. Canzona was sitting on her bed in her house on the upper Animas River. She was writing in her journal about a break up she had recently gone through and how sad she felt. All of a sudden, she started writing something completely different: "Most precious daughter, everything is going to be just fine."
She said she was surprised, but it felt good, so she continued to write.
A few weeks passed and she once again experienced what angel therapists call automatic writing.
After that, Canzona said she knew how connected everyone is to the other side, if they choose to be.
"I absolutely knew there was a benevolence that I could bring into my daily life," she said.
She said the most powerful experience she's had is when she channeled the Divine Father, who she describes as a benevolent, masculine angel.
"I think I channeled the Divine Father for a couple of years," she said.
Channeling him changed her perception of the male hierarchy. Before, she said it was hard for her to have a positive concept of men, based largely on her own history.
Her own father committed suicide when she was a young adult. Before that, she had a tumultuous relationship with him. She said her father took her out into the hills to teach her to drive. A six-pack of beer sat on the floor beside him. Canzona said she learned to drive because there was no way she wanted him to drive back. She also remembers when she was a child and her father brought people he met at the bar home at midnight and then woke up the whole family to meet them.
When she started automatic writing, Canzona was a high school counselor at Durango High School. She said having gone through her own darkness and having the knowledge that angels were there helped her counsel students.
But Canzona kept her thoughts about angels to herself. She said she felt that those thoughts would not be welcome in the public school system.
Eventually, she left school and traveled to Hawaii to take part in a workshop and get her angel therapy practitioners license. During that week, she attended different events and learned from a renowned practitioner, Doreen Virtue.
As an angel therapy practitioner, she does angel readings for people in the Four Corners Area. She said one of the main differences between doing angel readings for others versus herself is that often she doesn't know what the angels are talking about with others. For instance, she recently did an angel reading for her daughter using angel cards. The cards gave a message about music and a blessing in disguise. Her daughter later told her that a music gig she had been looking forward to had fallen through.
If people want to start automatic writing, Canzona said the best way to start is by writing a "dear angel" letter asking a question, and then start writing back.
She said angels are everywhere.
"They're the benevolent expression of God in the universe," Canzona said.

SHREVEPORT, LA – The SkyRunner flying car, a new, innovative recreational sports vehicle made its public debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last week. Part all-terrain vehicle and part light-sport aircraft, SkyRunner is the next generation in the small, elite segment of light sport aviation.
SkyRunner is not limited to the adventurist or recreational enthusiast. The business and governmental applications for a low-cost, low-maintenance aviation asset could include large landowners, ranchers, farmers, pipeline companies, emergency medical teams, film, media, aerial survey companies, bush pilots, border security, police, military and search & rescue.
"Airports are not required with SkyRunner," says Stewart Hamel, SkyRunner Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "This vehicle will change the way people experience their world and provide pure enjoyment of flight. Imagine driving an all-terrain vehicle that can convert from road to air mode in three minutes — with SkyRunner, that dream has become a reality."
SkyRunner uses the latest reflex paraglide wing technology, which is renowned for its extreme pitch and roll stability. "Open fields, grass strips and secluded beaches will be the runways of choice," says Hamel. "In the United States 98% of airspace is open to light sport pilots."
SkyRunner weighs 926 pounds and can accelerate to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 115 mph on the ground and 55 mph in the air. SkyRunner's 1.0 liter EcoBoost direct injection turbo engine's 125PS (92kW) power and 200Nm torque output provides the highest power density of any similar production engine. The fuel-efficient SkyRunner will see a 500 mile road range (at 53MPG) and 200 nautical miles in the air. The craft is priced at $119,000.
SkyRunner combines reliability, ease of use and portability into one adventurous package.
Safety Record —powered parachutes are considered to be safer than normal fixed-wing aircraft because of their inherent stability, limited response to control inputs, and resistance to stalls.
Ease of Use — powered parachutes are the easiest flying vehicles invented to date. A pilot has only two airborne controls: pitch and roll (up/down and left/right). The interior cockpit of SkyRunner is designed to be a comfortable, functional environment absent of redundant dials, switches and excessive buttons. With reduced input controls and less to manage in the cockpit, the joy and experience of flight is greatly enhanced.
A license to fly SkyRunner can be obtained in a few days with 12 hours of flight with a Certified Flight Instructor. Requirements for licensing include a valid driver's license and a minimum age of 17. If applicants are in good health, an FAA medical certificate is not required. Sport pilot regulations will allow flight in daytime, VFR weather in uncontrolled airspace with a ceiling of 10,000 feet above sea level.
Over the next few months SkyRunner will be fulfilling ASTM Design & Manufacturing Standards for its S-LSA certification. During this time, the company will be accepting deposits for SkyRunner orders to be delivered in 2014.

Michigan Representative Unveils Plan To Increase State's RPS
|in News Departments > Policy Watch
Michigan Rep. Pam Byrnes has unveiled a plan to increase the state's renewable portfolio standard (RPS), which would spur alternative energy production and employment.
Byrnes wants Michigan's RPS to be increased to 30% by 2025. Legislation passed last year requires 10% of the state's electricity to come from renewable sources by 2015.
"Michigan's alternative energy sector is in prime position to be the spark that jump-starts our economy," says Byrnes, a sponsor of the plan. "We need to do all we can to be a leader in renewable energy and attract jobs in new energy industries."
The legislation will position Michigan as a leader in producing alternative energy, as well as manufacturing energy-efficient products and components for renewable energy systems.
Byrne's plan would accomplish the following:
- create incentives for alternative energy companies to come to Michigan by requiring that 30% electricity come from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy by 2025;
- require utilities to work with their customers to decrease electricity usage so utilities sell 2% less energy each year;
- revise building codes to increase energy efficiency; and
- encourage residents and businesses to become alternative energy entrepreneurs by allowing them to sell the excess energy they create via renewable sources like solar panels or wind turbines.

the Family
David Brickman
Arts Center Gallery at the Saratoga County Arts Council, through
May 28
In a fun nod to boomer nostalgia, the current show at the
Arts Center Gallery in Saratoga Springs is titled colorFORMS;
there, three exuberantly painterly artists have been brought
together by curator Judy Hugentobler in a show thats likely
to delight the middle-aged and their children (or grandchildren)
in equal measure.
The most kid-friendly, and at the same time the most professionally
acknowledged of the three, is Victoria Palermo, whose sculptural
installation at the Williams College Museum of Art was reviewed
in this space about a year ago, and whom we named as the regions
best artist last July. She is joined by relative newcomers
Thomas Gagnon and K.C. Mathers, both of whom share Palermos
unbridled color sense and apply it to deftly accomplished
two-dimensional works.
Not to be confused with the Arts Center of the Capital Region
in Troy, this is the gallery of the Saratoga County Arts Council.
Set on Broadway in a former library, the big, airy main space
has lots of natural light and a corner entrance that makes
for an interesting flow to the L-shaped room. I find that
the shows here always make good use of this arrangement, often
grouping two to five artists and intermingling their works
throughout, which makes for a very relaxed viewing experience.
Gagnons work is larger and more easily seen from a distance
than Mathers, so it provides an orienting guide to move the
visitors eye around the perimeter of the room. Conversely,
Mathers densely patterned pieces in colored pencil are small
(10 inches or less in both dimensions) and demand close scrutiny
to be appreciated.
Meanwhile, Palermos vertical rubber sculptures are rhythmically
grouped and placed through the floor areaextremely rich and
bright in hue, and rather shiny, too, they command attention
in the way circus clowns do, by being irresistibly friendly.
One of them, the centerpiece of a group of seven placed on
a big, cloud-shaped mirror, reaches right up to the ceiling,
where it docks like some kind of Jetsons-era accessory. Titled
Starship, its columnar series of geometric shapes is
colored in a blend from lime-green to yellow to orange, with
jaunty little balloon shapes flying off from stalks at the
Palermos other 2004 pieces share the smooth surfaces and
vivid color relationships of Starship, and some have
seductive frozen drips that dont always conform to gravity.
Her 2005 pieces enter new territory, adding other materials
to build up different kinds of structure to the works, which
are far more free-form. Goopy, globby and drippy Wen not
Wu is a monochromatic, marbleized blue; Color of a
Dream I Had is all red; and an untitled taller piece is
mainly yellow.
These later works are not as easy to like as Palermos other
work, but its good to see her branch out and try to be expressive
in a less happy-go-lucky mode.
A fun-loving attitude also pervades the 11 oils on masonite
in the show by Gagnon, all of which date from 2004, are exactly
2 by 3 feet and have silly names like Shimmy-Shammy and
Hokey-Pokey. In these paintings, biomorphic shapes
in bright, solid colors compete with undulating lines and
hard geometric backgrounds for our attention.
In a given piece, the palette may reside within limits of
tone and temperature or may range widely. For example, Whipper-Snapper
is almost designer-friendly with its tastefully cool greens,
mauves and oranges, while Wiggle-Waggle is energized
by a hot acid-yellow. The overheated palette of Twiddle-Twaddle
plays on all the classic contrasts: orange/blue, pink/green
and yellow/purple.
One of Gagnons stronger pieces, Topsy-Turvy, has a
distinct figurative reference; it also breaks up some of the
shapes with dimensional contour lines, making them float a
bit off the surfacebut then theyre anchored by two stiff,
black bars. Other, smaller pieces on paper by Gagnon in pencil,
crayon and/or marker have the same playfulness while tending
toward the minimalistic. These drawings make a nice counterpoint
to the paintings, but fall well into their brilliant shadow.
Mathers works entirely in colored pencil, and her 22 pieces
from 2002 to 2005 have all been created through a grid system
that she employs to great advantage. With those grids, she
plays a terrific game of theme and variation, allowing a surprising
amount of freedom within a tight structure.
Whether in pastel colors or primaries, the symmetrical designs
Mathers creates radiate outward, both using and transforming
the grid to morph into a great variety of rhythmic patterns.
Like a Moorish mosaic or woven fabric, her images have no
meaning to impart; rather, they are a sophisticated form of
eye candy that tickles you more the more you study it.
The most curious aspect of Mathers work is how much it changes
depending on the viewing distanceup close, you see all the
little lines that divide the little squares and are filled
with many different colors; but, as you move back, the bigger
patterns are gradually revealed, so eventually you dont see
the grid at all, or the individual shapes within it, but a
balanced overall picture instead. It can be a powerfully meditative
Her childlike game of filling in the squares turns out to
be very clever, indeed.
Boroson: outer limit
Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, through
June 5
Few artists are as ambitious as Lee Boroson, whose
large, complex inflatable pieces require a museum-scale
space, and a lot of time and help, to be displayed.
Fortunately, he has a friend in Ian Berry, curator
of Skidmores Tang, who commissioned a Boroson
piece for the museum last year. That has been
joined by seven others, some of which are site-specific;
all of them work very well with the space.

REAGAN WELLS, TEXAS. Reagan Wells, a small rural community, is located on Farm Road 1051 and the Dry Frio River twenty-five miles north of Uvalde in north central Uvalde County. The area was originally settled by the families of Lawrence Pike and Augustin Heard, who came to the Reagan Wells site from Williamson County in 1876. The town is probably named for John Reagan, who was the first person to commercialize the area's mineral waters, which were released through wells dug by J. H. (Harney) Hammer in the late 1880s. In an attempt to attract visitors to the mineral waters, Reagan built a two-story hotel. A subsequent owner, B. W. Briggs, constructed cabins near the hotel to accommodate visitors anxious to bathe in the mineral waters. In 1916 Mr. and Mrs. Y. D. Taylor purchased the facilities and added a stucco dining room and large bath to their thriving health resort. A general store called the Reagan Wells Store was built across from the wells in 1912 by L. B. Herrington. A post office was established the same year in the store; Herrington was the first postmaster. In 1914 Reagan Wells had a general store, a sorghum mill, a fruit cannery, several sheep and cattle breeders, and fifty residents. The population of Reagan Wells subsequently declined to around twenty, where it remained throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The mineral baths closed shortly after 1945. The post office remained at Reagan Wells Store until 1970. In 1972 the grounds and facilities of the health resort were converted to the Steps of Faith Ranch, an all-Christian nonprofit organization established by Pat Finney of San Antonio, a former drug addict, and Baptist minister H. G. Rotramme. In 1990 the Steps of Faith Ranch still provided Christian guidance and rehabilitation for troubled boys and girls. The population of Reagan Wells in 1990 was about twenty where it remained in 2000. A Baptist church, completed in 1962, was located at the edge of town; the Hummerage, a family-owned complex of art studios and shops, offered private lessons at its Hummer School of Wood.

CHICAGO -- One of pro football's legacy franchises is making news.
The Chicago Bears are giving Marc Trestman his first shot as an NFL head coach.
A longtime NFL assistant, Trestman spent the past five seasons as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes, winning two Canadian Football League championships.
The Bears hope he can get the most out of quarterback Jay Cutler and help them reach the postseason on a consistent basis. Smith was let go after Chicago missed the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.
