Yes Richard and Red Bull just decided to either remove or make modifications to their car out of good faith and love for fair racing.Also with your last statement if you are trying to insinuate that I am a Mclaren/Merc fan or a Lewis fan then I am sorry to disappoint you, you are dead wrong.If you had read my posts,you would have noticed that I had mentioned that I am not a Red Bull hater,just that I picked their example as they have been the top team for the past few years and courted controversy the most in the recent years for bending rules. Also I did mention that all teams cheat(and yes that includes Mercedes,Mclaren etc).My point is not that Merc didn't cheat or gain unfair advantage.My point is recent precedent from FIA has been to clarify the rules and move on.So why should it be any different now?Just because other teams couldn't 'push/bend the rules to the limit' this time and the top team is one of them?

Masada, in modern-day Israel: a devastating earthquake kills hundreds in the area and reveals an ancient tomb-temple buried in the rock plateau underlying the ancient fortress. A trio of investigators--Sgt. Jordan Stone, a military forensics expert; Father Rhun Korza, a Vatican priest; and Dr. Erin Granger, a brilliant but disillusioned archaeologist--are sent to explore the subterranean temple, which holds the mummified body of a crucified girl. A brutal attack at the site sets the investigators on the run, thrusting them into a race to recover what was once preserved in the tomb's sarcophagus: a book rumored to have been written by Christ in his own blood, and said to hold the secrets to his divinity. The enemy who hounds them is like no other, a force of ancient evil including vampires and vampirelike animals. VERDICT This work is all thriller fans would expect from a combination of Rollins (Bloodline) and the Macavity Award-winning Cantrell (A Trace of Smoke): cutting-edge science, ancient history, and a solid gothic mystery plot. Publishing plans call for this to be a trilogy, but this combination may be just too good to stop with only three books. Fans of the authors will not be disappointed, and those who lapped up The Da Vinci Code will be clamoring for more in this series. [See Prepub Alert, 7/15/12; the prequel, City of Screams, is available as a digital original: ebk. ISBN 9780062262561--Ed.]--Vicki Gregory, Univ. of South Florida SIS, Tampa[Page 83].

This ponderous collaboration between Rollins (Bloodline) and Cantrell (A City of Broken Glass) opens with an arresting prologue set in first-century Israel. As the Jewish defenders of Masada prepare for their mass suicide, their leader, Eleazar, ritually sacrifices a young girl in a cave below the mountain fortress. Flash forward to the present, when a cataclysmic explosion destroys Masada, leaving as sole survivor a boy whose cancer was cured by the toxic smoke that emanated from below the mountain. At the request of the Israeli government, archeologist Erin Granger joins forces with Sgt. Jordan Stone, an American Army Ranger, to find out what caused the catastrophe. Add a peculiar Catholic priest and a lost gospel to the attractive male-female team and its quest for the truth, and you have yet another religious thriller with a gimmick that fails to match that of The Da Vinci Code. Agents: (for Rollins) Russ Galen and Danny Baror; (for Cantrell) Elizabeth Evans, Mary Alice Kier, and Anna Cottle. (Jan.)[Page ]. Copyright 2012 PWxyz LLC

Attack of the Shark Lobby
In other words, blame the victim. A shark "must make quick decisions and rapid movements to capture its traditional food items," says the ISAF. "When these difficult physical conditions are considered in conjunction with provocative human appearance and activities associated with aquatic recreation (splashing, shiny jewelry, contrasting colored swimsuits, contrasting tanning, especially involving the soles of the feet), it is not surprising that sharks might occasionally misinterpret a human for its normal prey." If you tan, splash, or wear a bright bikini, you're asking for it.
5. The problem isn't an increase in sharks. It's an increase in people. According to ISAF Director George Burgess, shark attack "is largely motivated by the number of people in the water." Following this logic, Burgess and his colleagues argue that the only reason sharks are biting more people is that more people are available. Again, why is this comforting? "Shark attacks will drop off precipitously now that Labor Day has come, because there will be less human flesh in the water to be bitten," the Times predicts dismissively. How this prediction vindicates the Times, rather than the shark-fearing people it ridicules, remains a mystery.
6. We're more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. The real story is "not shark bites man, but man bites shark," says Burgess. "Humans have been killing off 100 million individual sharks per year by overfishing. Meanwhile, sharks are killing eight humans per year." So what? We're not sharks. We're humans. We're trying to figure out whether to get in the water. Shark-fishing statistics don't help us. Do you object to that cold calculus? Do you want to talk about responsibility? Then stop excusing every shark that maims a child while "trying to make a living."
Fortunately for the shark lobby, relief is on the way: Bears are invading towns in New Mexico. Last month, one bear mauled an old woman to death; another chased three boys and bit one; a third wounded a pair of Boy Scouts. Don't worry. It's just coincidence. The poor bears are unusually hungry this year, and anyway, they're just following their instincts. Trust me. I heard it from the bear lobby.

Reviews for
City of Fallen Angels
Booklist Reviews 2011 July #1
Originally a trilogy, the Mortal Instruments series now continues, with two more installments planned. Here, many familiar characters make an appearance, including some from Clockwork Angel (2010), and Clary and Jace's relationship is even more fraught with drama: Jace is plagued with horrifying nightmares of killing Clary as the pair investigates the source of demon babies. Simon, a rare Daylighter vampire, struggles to figure out who is trying to kill him. Camille, an ancient vampire, tempts Simon, while an ancient source of evil manipulates them all to an unthinkable end. The cliff-hanger close will leave series fans clamoring for more. Copyright 2011 Booklist Reviews.
Horn Book Guide Reviews 2012 Spring
Now that Valentine is dead, Shadowhunter Clary and company face a new threat: a demonic cult that's killing human infants. Meanwhile, Jace has violent dreams about hurting Clary, and Simon is having trouble adapting to life as a vampire. The reliance on grandiloquent literary devices and overblown romantic anguish distracts from (and inflates) this otherwise absorbing urban fantasy.
Library Journal BookSmack
Legions of fans of Clare's "Immortal Instruments" series are making this, the fourth in the series, one of the best-selling books of the spring. As the book opens, Jace and Clary are in love, but his troubled past is catching up with them. Jace is a Shadowhunter, a warrior dedicated to keeping the peace among the Downworlders, that is, the various supernaturals in their midst. Clary is a Shadowhunter in training, still overwhelmed by the connection she and Jace share. Keeping it interesting are their many Shadowhunter and Downworlder companions, including Clary's best friend, Simon, a newly turned vampire who is two-timing a werewolf (not a good plan). Add an ancient demon, murdered Shadowhunters, and an unstoppable curse to the mix, and you have an exciting page-turner from an urban fantasy master. Do not worry-the ending leaves no doubt that there is another story in the works. - "35 Going on 13" Booksmack! 6/16/11 (c) Copyright 2011.

VOYA Reviews 2011 August
Jace is having nightmares. Every time he falls asleep, he kills Clary, and there is nothing he can do to stop himself. His first impulse is to avoid Clary at all cost; to do that he becomes Simon's shadow. Someone is trying to kill Simon, and so far the Mark of Cain has protected him, but who--or what--is behind the effort? Simon has another "bodyguard" in his new roommate, Kyle. Kyle appeared seemingly out of nowhere, but his presence at Simon's side is definitely not an accident. Between Kyle and Jace, Simon is covered from attack by unknown enemies, but it is the two girls he is dating that he might actually need protection from Librarians and readers should feel confident when selecting this title. This fourth book in the Mortal Instruments series picks up soon after the big battle that ends City of Glass. All characters are given attention, but this really could be considered Simon's story. His unique existence provides both motivation for the scheming and acts as a catalyst for much of the action, including this installment's fight between good and evil. On the downside, there is not much progression to the overarching, main story line, and there is little foundation provided to explain key ideas in the book. Still, this is a fun read with plenty of action and tender emoting, plus a doozy, cliff-hanger of an ending.--Stacey Hayman 4Q 5P J S Copyright 2011 Voya Reviews.

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE — PGA Tour players were excited to see historic Cherry Hills Country Club, giving the golf course a thumbs up Tuesday during the first official practice rounds for the BMW Championship.
The Cherry Hills rough? That did not bring smiles.
"This is lush, man," said Ernie Els, winner of four major championships. "You're going to have to keep it in the fairway to score here. If you're coming out of the rough, with the fullness this rough has already, you're not going to have much of a game. Accuracy will be big this week."
The third of four legs that make up the FedEx Cup playoffs, the BMW Championship is run by the PGA Tour, which is not offended by low scores. If this were a USGA event, the rough might be cut at a height of at least 4½ inches — as it was for the 2012 U.S. Amateur Championship at Cherry Hills.
The rough at Cherry Hills won't be that high. Or will it?
Tour officials previously requested a 3-inch rough for this event. However, Cherry Hills head golf professional John Ogden said Tuesday that because the course has not received a substantial rainfall since a downpour Friday, there are no plans to cut the rough this week.
That can't be good news for players.
"It's thicker than I remember in past years," said Els, who often would arrive a few days early for The International and sneak over with pals to Cherry Hills for a round.
NBC sports analyst Johnny Miller said Cherry Hills always grows impressive rough. A native of Northern California, Miller played college golf at BYU and has a residence in Utah.
"There's some of the toughest bluegrass rough in the world at Cherry Hills," said Miller, who will be on NBC's crew this week. "I can tell you, the Rockies (region) can really grow some bluegrass. Around the greens, it's like chipping out of steel wool. It's just so heavy."
After playing a practice round Tuesday, 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell said there is just enough rough at Cherry Hills "to make it interesting" and put a premium on driving accuracy.
PHOTOS: FedExCup BMW Championship 2014 warms up at Cherry Hills
"It's just (penal) enough to make fairways a premium," McDowell said. "You can pull some (good) lies. But it takes the control out of your hands. The rough has that lush, bluegrass feel to it. The way these greens are pitched, you really have to stay on the (appropriate) side of the greens for an opportunity to get up and down. You have to be very aware of where you're going to leave your ball coming in (on approach shots)."
Sergio Garcia used the description "interesting" when asked about Cherry Hills' rough.
"It's not as high (as a U.S. Open), but it's very consistent," Garcia said Tuesday. "It can be quite tricky. If the ball nestles down into it against the grain, it's hard to get enough distance. And if it's lying with the grain, you can get some downhill fliers."
Compounding the challenge, Miller said, is the altitude. Yes, it affects shorter shots too, he said.
"Out of the rough, the ball actually goes shorter than it does at sea level because there's no air to speak of to grab onto the low, spinning shots out of the rough," Miller explained. "The ball just falls out of the air."
Ogden agreed with Miller that the bluegrass rough here is different than most roughs.
"It may be 3 inches, but it's healthy, dense rough," Ogden said. "We're known for our rough."

Michigan lawmakers are set to begin the formal process of resolving the differences between their various state budget proposals.
Joint panels of House and Senate members are scheduled to begin formal conferences on the budget Wednesday and Thursday.
The House and Senate have approved different versions of the next budget and compromises must be reached before a spending plan can become law.
A key factor for the overall budget plan will be determining how deep to cut state aid to K-12 schools.
Gov. Rick Snyder has proposed an additional $300 per student cut for the fiscal year that starts in October, on top of a $170 per student cut that's already on the books.
Some Senate Republicans are among the many lawmakers seeking to make the school cuts less deep.

PATHARGHATA, Bangladesh (AP) -- Bangladesh is asking for more
foreign aid to help survivors of last week's deadly cyclone.
Food, fresh water and temporary shelter still haven't reached
many hungry and exhausted people.
The government says 120 million dollars in foreign aid has been
promised so far, but that relief items have been slow in coming.
They say a lack of clean water, food and medicine could trigger a
second wave of death.
The government and relief agencies are using helicopters and
boats to reach survivors in remote pockets.
More than 3,100 have been killed by the cyclone but officials
fear the final toll might reach 10,000.

Mary Gaskill of River Forest has adopted six children with
special needs, including a terminally ill baby girl who was given
six months to live-three years ago.
"Some days we think she has drawn her last breath, but she keeps
on going," says Gaskill, who also has four biological children and
two foster kids. "She is our great joy, and every day with her is
so precious."
Gaskill points to her 3-year-old adopted daughter to illustrate
how parents of children with special needs shouldn't be paralyzed
by doctors' diagnoses, daunting daily worries or unwarranted
"Don't let fear freeze your love for your child," she says.
For so many adopted kids with special needs, it's extremely
difficult to escape the neglectful shadows of their early days and
months. What they often need more than medicine, treatment and
medical management is love, attention and affection, parents
"It's better to love them first and then deal with any special
needs they have," Gaskill says.

Soil is the uppermost layer of the Earth's crust, capable of supporting life. You know that the earliest civilizations almost always arose near river banks. This happened because the river provided a continuous supply of water and the soil along the river banks was very fertile. Thus, human settlements in different parts of the world followed the distribution pattern of fertile soil and water on the Earth.
Soil provides water and minerals to plants for their growth. Without soil, there would be no vegetation and hence no animal life. Where do we look for soil? You would be tempted to say that soil covers the entire land surface of earth. However, this is not true. Large parts of Arctic and Antarctic regions are covered with ice and snow. Solid rocks present in mountains contain no soil. Ice, snow and rocks together constitute about one-fifth of the total land area.
Composition of Soil:
Composition of soil varies from place to place. It depends on the type of rock which it is formed. However, all soils contain the following components:
- Rocks particles: Tiny particles of soil derived form the parent rock.
- Humus: Humus consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.
- Living organisms: Soil contains a large number of micro-organisms like bacteria, algae, fungi and protozoa. Many small animals like insects, earthworms, spiders, scorpions, centipedes and millipedes are found in the soil. Burrowing animals like rats, moles, rabbits and guinea pigs make tunnels in the soil.
- Water: Water is present in pores between soil particles and helps the plants in their growth.
- Air: Air is also present in the soil pores and is essential for the survival of living organisms present in the soil.
Soil Profile
A vertical section of the showing different layers is called soil profile. The different layers of the soil are called horizons. Let us find out more about the soil layers.
The three layers of soil are:
1. A-Horizon:
The uppermost layer of the soil is called topsoil or A-horizon. It is the darkest of all layers. The dark color is due to the presence of humus which makes the soil fertile. This layer contains roots of many plants which absorb water and nutrients from it. Soil is soft and porous with great capacity to hold water. The topsoil is home to many organisms like bacteria, algae, fungi, insects and worms.
2. B-Horizon:
The layer of soil below the A-Horizon is called subsoil or B-Horizon. Subsoil is harder and more compact than the topsoil. It does not contain humus and is, therefore, lighter in color than the topsoil. B-Horizon is rich in soluble minerals and iron oxides. Roots of certain tall trees may reach up to this layer.
3. C-Horizon:
The lowest layer of soil is called the C-Horizon. This layer consists of small pieces of the parent rock. Weathering of these pieces of rock results in soil formation. The rock pieces contain many cracks and crevices. Although no organic matter (humus) is present in this layer, it contains some minerals. Beneath the C-Horizon is present the solid parent rock called the bedrock. It is not possible to dig beyond the C-Horizon with a spade.
Formation of Soil:
Soil is formed by the braking down of large rocks over a long period of time. The process of breaking down of rocks into small epics by the action of agents of nature like wind, rain, running steams, glaciers, alternate high and low temperatures and soil organisms is called weathering. Let us study the agents of nature that lead to weathering of rocks.
After rains, water gets trapped in cracks of crevices of rocks. In winter, the trapped water freezes. You know that water expands on freezing. This expansion of water are thus broken into smaller pieces. Continuous movement of rain water or river-water over the smaller pieces of rock breaks them down further to form soil.
Temperature changes:
Large fluctuations in the day and night temperatures also lead to weathering. The rocks get heated up during the day and expand. At night, the rocks cool down and contract. This repeated contraction and expansion of the rocks weakens them and they break up into smaller pieces. These pieces may be broken down further to form fine soil particles by the combined action of various agents of nature.
Roots of trees:
Roots of trees penetrate deep inside the rocks and weaken them. Root exert pressure no the rocks causing cracks in them. The rocks crumble leading to the formation of soil.
Wind blowing across rock surfaces rubs against them and breaks away tiny particles of rock. These particles are carried to great distances by wind broken down from soil.
Classification of Soils:
Soil is mixture of particles of varying sizes. The texture of the soil depends upon the relative amounts of the particles of different sizes present in the soil. If the soil contains greater amount of small-sized particles, it is soft to touch but if it contains more of bigger-sized particles, it has a coarse texture.
Depending upon their size, soil particles can be classified are gravel, sand, silt and clay with the gravel having largest particle size. These particles are present in varying amounts in soil. Depending upon the amount of the different types of particles present, soil can be classified as under.
Sandy Soil:
Sandy soil contains about 60% of sand particles with small amounts of silt and clay. It is very porous and its water-holding capacity is very low as all the water easily runs down through the large pores. This type of soil is, therefore, not good for the growth of plants. Sandy soil is found mainly in the deserts.
Clayey Soil:
Clayey soil contains more than 50% of clay particles. Since the clay particles are very small in size, they are very tightly packed and do not allow water to drain out easily. Clayey soil, therefore, gets easily water-logged. It is poorly aerated because the tightly bound clay particles leave little space in between to trap air. Clayey soil is very sticky and thus tilling the soil is very difficult. However, clayey soil is rich in a mineral which makes it suitable for plant growth. Due to the great binding capacity of its particles, clayey soil is used for making toys and pots.
Loamy Soil:
Loamy soil contains 30-50% of silt, 5-20% of clay and the rest is sand. It also contains humus. It has good holding capacity and sufficient space between its particles to trap air. Therefore, loamy soil is best suited for plant growth.
Types of Soil Found in India:
Different geographical regions in India have different kinds of soil. Soil differs in terms of its color, texture, particle size and water content. Six types of soil can be recognized in India.
1. Red Soil
This soil is red in color due to the presence of iron oxide in it. The topsoil contains quartz and clay particles in addition to iron oxide. It is, however, poor in humus, but can be made fertile by adding fertilizers and manures. This soil is also called red latosol and is found in interior regions of Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Southern Karnataka and Eastern Madhya Pradesh.
2. Black Soil:
Black soil is rich in iron, magnesium and is particularly suited for cotton and sugarcane cultivation. It is derived from rocks called basaltic rocks. Black soil is found in many parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. It is commonly called regur.
3. Alluvial Soil:
Alluvial soil is formed by deposition of silt transported by the river from mountains. It contains gravel, sand and clay and is rich in humus. Greater humus content makes the soil fertile and suitable for cultivating wheat, rice and sugarcane. It is loamy in texture and is commonly called khaddar. It is mainly found in the plains of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, coastal of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
4. Desert Soil
Desert soil is sandy and porous with a coarse texture. Its water-holding capacity is low, hence, only thorny bushes and cacti can grow in it. However, desert soil can be used for growing crops if it is irrigated well. It is found in Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat. The Indira Gandhi Canal in Rajasthan has made cultivation of crops possible by providing a continuous supply of water.
5. Mountain Soil:
Mountain soil has the highest humus content of all soils found in India. Hence, it is very fertile, but varies in content from place to place. Mountain soil are found in the Himalayan region and north-east India
6. Laterite Soil:
Laterite soil is reddish, brownish or yellowish in color, as it contains a high percentage of iron and aluminum oxides. This soil is found in regions with heavy rainfall. It is sued for growing plantation crops like tea, coffee and coconut. It is mainly fund in the Western Ghats and parts of Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Assam
Soil: A Natural Resource
Soil is a valuable resource. The existence of mankind is greatly influenced by this resource. It is useful to us in the following ways:
Source of food, clothing and shelter:
Soil supports the plant kingdom which proves food to man and animals. Plants provide fibers like cotton and jute which are used to make clothes and others articles. Plants also provide medicines, rubber, gum, resins, and wood for making furniture and for constructing houses.
Soil as a source of minerals:
Soil is the home of our mineral wealth. Minerals like iron, copper, silver and gold are dug out from the Earth's crust and sued in the industry for several propose. Coal and petroleum are also obtained by digging out soil.
Soil as a source of building material:
Soil is used as a raw material for making bricks and mortar, pottery and porcelain.
Soil as a source of water:
Rainwater seeps through (percolates) soil particles and collects above the rock bed to from subsoil water. This is pumped out by means of hand pumps and other means and sued for drinking and irrigation.
Soil reduces the effect of flood:
Soil absorbs rain water and reduces the damage caused by flood. Soil also provides water to plants during dry season and keeps them alive.

What is in this article?:
- Legal issues will shape the future of American agriculture.
- Here are the most significant agricultural law and taxation developments of 2013.
Climate change litigation
7. "Climate change" litigation. In 2013, more "climate change" litigation was before the federal courts. Continuing the trend, all of the federal district courts that have considered the issue have held that "climate change" lawsuits involve nonjusticiable political questions that are not suitable for court resolution. In what is probably the lead case on the matter, the court held that the plaintiff class, residents and owners of lands and property along the Mississippi Gulf coast, had standing to assert public and private nuisance, trespass and negligence claims against the defendants for emission of greenhouse gases that allegedly contributed to "global warming" which, the claim asserted, caused a rise in sea levels and added to the ferocity of Hurricane Katrina, which combined to destroy the plaintiffs' private property along with public property.
In reversing the trial court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the plaintiffs' claims were not non-justiciable political questions. However, the plaintiff's unjust enrichment, fraudulent misrepresentation and civil conspiracy claims were dismissed for lack of standing. The trial court could have dismissed the case due to the plaintiffs' inability to establish proximate causation, but the trial court had dismissed the case without relying on that ground so the appellate court did not address the issue. The court remanded the case to the trial court to determine if the plaintiffs could establish a causal connection. But, before the case was remanded, the court granted the plaintiffs' petition for a review by the full court and vacated the three-judge panel's decision. Later, the court dismissed the appeal. Thus, the district court's opinion holding that property owners did not have standing to sue for "climate change" and that "climate change" is a political question and that property owners cannot seek state-law tort damages for industrial emissions of carbon dioxide is controlling law in the Fifth Circuit. In 2012, the plaintiffs' claims were completely dismissed, and that decision was affirmed on appeal in 2013. Comer, et al. v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., 839 F. Supp. 2d 849 (S.D. Miss. 2012), aff'd., No. 12-60291, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 9705 (5th Cir. May 14, 2013).

In another 2013 case, a collection of youth plaintiffs sued the federal government and the oil industry claiming that the government had failed to protect the atmosphere from irreversible damage from man-made effects. The essence of the plaintiffs' legal claim was rooted in the public trust doctrine, which imposes a fiduciary obligation on the government to protect the nation's natural resources such as air and water. The plaintiffs wanted the government to conduct a detailed accounting of carbon emissions in the U.S., followed by the development and implementation of a national Climate Recovery Plan. But, the court dismissed the case in 2012 on the grounds that the federal government has no constitutional obligation to protect the atmosphere. In 2013, the court refused to reconsider its 2012 decision. The court based its decision heavily on a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision wherein the Court noted that the U.S. Constitution does not control state public trust law. The Court stated that the public trust doctrine is essentially the domain of the states and, as a result, a state would have standing to litigate "climate change" as a public nuisance. The federal government has no public trust obligation. As such, the court in the present case determined that the plaintiffs had not asserted any constitutional claim in its complaint. Loorz, et al. v. Perciaspepe, No. 11-cv-2235, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72301 (D. D.C. May 22, 2013).

Student opens fire at Omaha school
Wednesday, January 5, 2011
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The son of a police detective opened fire at a Nebraska high school Wednesday, fatally wounding the assistant principal and forcing panicked students to take cover in the kitchen of the building just as they returned from holiday break.
The gunman, who had attended the school for no more than two months, also wounded the principal before fleeing from the scene and fatally shooting himself in his car about a mile away.
Authorities declined to speculate about why the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Robert Butler Jr., targeted the administrators.
Vice Principal Vicki Kaspar, 58, died at a hospital hours after the shooting, police said. Principal Curtis Case, 45, was listed in stable condition.
Jessica Liberator, a sophomore at Millard South High School, said she was in the cafeteria when another administrator "rushed in to tell everybody to get in the back of the kitchen."
She said she started to cry when students heard a knock on the kitchen door and a cafeteria worker yelled for everybody to get down. It was a false alarm. Nobody came in.
She huddled with Brittany Brase, another sophomore. Asked whether they were best friends, Brase said, "No, not really." But, she added: "She's my best friend now. These things bring you together."
Butler had transferred in November from a high school in Lincoln, about 50 miles southwest of Omaha.
In a rambling Facebook post filled with expletives, Butler warned Wednesday that people would hear about the "evil" things he did and said the school drove him to violence.
He wrote that the Omaha school was worse than his previous one, and that the new city had changed him. He apologized and said he wanted people to remember him for who he was before affecting "the lives of the families I ruined." The post ended with "goodbye."
A former classmate of Butler's from Lincoln confirmed the Facebook post to The Associated Press and provided AP with a copy of it.
Conner Gerner said he remembered Butler as being energetic, fun and outgoing. Gerner said Butler sometimes got in trouble for speaking out too much in class, but he did not seem angry.
Police Chief Alex Hayes provided no details on the weapon Butler used or how he obtained it. Butler's father is a detective for the Omaha Police Department. Investigators were interviewing the seven-year veteran Wednesday to learn more about what may have led to the shooting.
Authorities first received reports of the shooting around 12:50 p.m. The school was immediately locked down, but within two hours, students were being released in groups.
When the first group of students emerged, parents began applauding. Some of the students smiled, raised their hands in the air and flashed a V for victory sign.
Crystal Losole, whose son and a nephew are juniors at the school, said she got a call from her son when he was hiding in the kitchen.
Hugging him later and weeping, Losole said when she learned of the shooting, "My knees kind of buckled."
Her son, Skyler Marion, said he was in the cafeteria when Assistant Principal Brad Millard loudly announced that there was "a code red" and that everybody needed to evacuate.
At first, nobody believed Millard, Skyler said. But when Millard's face turned white, students knew it was no joke.
John Manna, who lives two blocks from the school, said he knows Kaspar because his older son graduated from high school with her son in 1996.
"I was just shocked. I can't think of a nicer person. I can't see how anyone would be cross with her," Manna said.
The shooting news jolted the suburban neighborhood in west Omaha where the principal lives.
"I'm really sad," said Judy Robison, who lives six houses away from the Case family. "There's been shootings downtown, but we're really pretty insulated out here."
The school on the west side of Omaha has about 2,100 students.

Maple Leafs: Kessel pots hat trick in comeback win over Ducks: Feschuk
Phil Kessel responded to Randy Carlyle's criticism of his effort in Saturday's loss to Chicago by scoring three goals, and the Leafs rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Anaheim 4-2 on Tuesday night.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
There had likely never been a moment in time when Mathieu Perreault had been compared to Wayne Gretzky. And given that he's a man whose best NHL season yielded 16 goals, there probably never should have been.
And yet, when you watched the way Perreault operated with uncanny ease from Gretzky's former office on Tuesday night, the scene had the look of a flashback to the high-scoring days of the 1980s NHL.
This was the Maple Leafs' low point in Tuesday night's 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at the Air Canada Centre. Perreault took the puck behind the Toronto net and, even without Gretzky's magical powers, proceeded to have his way with the Toronto defence. In one moment, Morgan Rielly failed to knock Perreault off the puck. In the next, Rielly's defence partner Cody Franson stood and watched as Perreault single-handedly hauled the puck in front of the net and zinged home a top-shelf zinger that was too easy to believe.
At that moment early in the second period the Ducks had two goals and a 2-0 lead. The Leafs had all of two shots. Not long after, the home team somehow managed to ice the puck on a power play and the crowd unleashed a smattering of boos.
At that moment, the Leafs had a 6-3-0 win-loss record. And yet somehow the mood in Leafs Nation had turned to frustration.
It didn't last. The Leafs pride themselves on being more-skilled-than-thou opportunists. On Tuesday they transformed a stinker into a victory in short order. By night's end, Phil Kessel would have three goals, including the winner, Dion Phaneuf would have another one (and probably his and the Leaf defence's best game of the season) and the Leafs would have their seventh victory in 10 outings.
Before the game, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle had been calling for his team to ratchet up its effort level. After the first period, he suggested his team turn down the tension level.
"I told 'em to relax. We were tight. You can tell when a group can't make a 20-foot pass to someone who's wide open," Carlyle said. "That's when the frustration starts to build, build, build, obviously in the building, on the bench, among the coaching staff, among the players. When you read that (as a coach) you have to try and be more of a calming effect rather than add anymore gasoline to the fire."
A hat trick of random thoughts on an out-of-nowhere win ...
1. When Jonathan Bernier took the home net in Tuesday's morning skate, it appeared to be a strong endorsement of his claim to the Leafs' No. 1 job. Carlyle had vowed to make the team's goaltending battle a meritocracy before the season began — "Win and you're in," said the coach. But after two straight losses to the Hurricanes and Blackhawks, Bernier was getting a third straight start against the Ducks.
It wasn't precisely what it seemed. James Reimer, it turned out, said he had "a little bit of the flu," which he'd picked up on the weekend, although he also said he could have played if called upon.
"I'm not dead, right?" he quipped. "I just can't breathe."
At least a couple of Bernier's 23 stops on 25 shots left the crowd breathless.
2. Tuesday night marked the fifth straight game in which the Leafs didn't acquire a fighting major. Last season, when they led the league with 44 fights in 48 games, they never went more than three games without a fight, according to hockeyfights.com. Perhaps that will change Friday in Columbus, when David Clarkson will return from his 10-game suspension and Frazer McLaren will be eligible to play after a stay on the injured reserve with a broken pinkie finger.
"Let's say I played every game — I'm sure there would be a few more fighting majors as a team total," McLaren said. "But we've been in a lot of one-goal games and real tight-checking games. Often those games don't draw as much of the fighting aspect."
On Tuesday, the Leafs were buoyed by another kind of bodily punishment. James van Riemsdyk said the Toronto bench was lifted by blocked shots by Colton Orr and Troy Bodie.
"Bodes and Orrsy blocking pucks, showing that desperation — I think that really woke us up on the bench," van Riemsdyk said. "When you see guys laying out, and a guy is teeing up a 100-mile-an-hour slapper, they're sacrificing their body like that — it's definitely inspiring to see that."
3. Carlyle had singled out Kessel as a non-factor in Saturday's 3-1 loss in Chicago, when the Leafs were outshot 40-20. So credit Kessel for the quick response. After scoring from tap-in range on a power-play feed from van Riemsdyk to make it 2-1 — and after Phaneuf tied it — Kessel potted one of his finest markers in recent memory for what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Kessel, cruising in on the right wing on a 2-on-1, faked the pass, froze Hiller, then deposited the puck over the Anaheim goaltender's blocker shoulder with a release few human beings can match. It was 3-2. Soon a handful of hats would be littering the ice. Soon Carlyle would be praising Kessel for eschewing the outside shots in favour of opportunities "in the tough areas."
Soon, on a night when the Leafs were only outshot 25-23, someone would be invoking the name of the Great One.
"What's Gretzky's quote? You miss 99 per cent of the shots you don't take?" van Riemsdyk said.
Something like that. On Tuesday night, Kessel, 3 for 4 from the field, made 75 per cent of the ones he did.

My question is-if I get a 39T sprocket and run messed up 39-16 gearing for 5 months or so would it realy be that bad? Have any of you rode with bad gearing? And do any of you know of any good ides for a 48H hub w/14mm sealed axel and left side drive, and a 14T freewheel that works with it?

When I start feeling derealization, life starts feeling so weird. The places I've lived and grown up in my entire life feel foreign and strange. I start thinking about life and why people do what they do and how weird it is that people go to work that they hate and all this stuff. I get some existential anxiety and start questioning everything. Anxiety tricks me into thinking I'll never be normal and that I'll always over analyze my environment. Dusk seems to trigger these feelings sometimes because everything outside looks so weird in the sunset light. I fear never being normal again, even though I've read so many stories of people who have successfully conquered this Anxiety Monster.Can anyone relate to these feelings? Better yet, has anyone totally overcome them, or have any self-help books that they've found useful for these particular problems?

St. Charles Cabinets
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
St. Charles Cabinetry has been chosen for some of the most celebrated residences in America. Legendary 20th-century homes, such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House (above), were designed with St. Charles Cabinetry . For those of us with mid-century modern homes, when faced with a kitchen remodel, we have often gone to great lengths to restore our existing St. Charles cabinets, and source additional cabinets through dealers or even on ebay. When we moved into our 1950′s ranch, we had the St. Charles cabinets original to our home electrostatic painted. When we purchased the house, the cabinets were peach. We painted them original high gloss white. They are as good as new, and it was quite a transformation.
St. Charles cabinets are worth restoring. They are tough, steel cabinets which stand the test of time. They are simple and timeless, and inherently modern. These cabinets are designed and built in the U.S., and are made from 70% recycled content, and the finished product is 98% recyclable. Doesn't get any better than that. Or does it?
St. Charles Cabinets are now owned by Viking. This is great news for those looking to do restoration work, or even install a new simple, timeless, modern kitchen. I was thrilled to learn that Richard Meier is leading the charge with a new generation of architects choosing St. Charles Cabinetry for their projects. With the reintroduction, enhancements to the original design make this classic hard to resist. Finish options have been expanded to include a palette of stainless steel and 24 powdercoat paint finishes, glass fronts, modernized storage options and base cabinets that even arrive prewired for lighting.

Testing Of New Technology Marks Start Of Operations At New Water Research Center At Georgia Power's Plant Bowen
ATLANTA, Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new technology that could significantly reduce the water needed for power plant cooling is being tested, marking the beginning of research and development at the new Water Research Center (WRC) at Georgia Power's Plant Bowen in Cartersville, Ga.(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120828/CL64010 )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050216/CLW066LOGO ) Cooling water is essential for most thermal, or steam-driven, electric generation, which is the primary form of producing power in the United States and globally. Although most of the water withdrawn for power generation is returned to the source, the energy industry is focused on finding more efficient ways to manage water resources. The WRC is the first U.S. research facility of its kind, providing a venue for developing and testing technologies to reduce power plant water withdrawals and consumption and improve the quality of water related to power generation. Operated by the Southern Research Institute, the WRC is being developed by Southern Company and its subsidiary Georgia Power, Southern Research and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), which has assembled an R&D collaborative of 13 companies. "This is the latest demonstration of our commitment at Georgia Power and Southern Company to develop technology solutions for providing safe, clean, reliable and affordable electricity," said Georgia Power Environmental Affairs Vice President Ron Shipman. "The WRC, a first-of-its-kind power generation water research hub at Plant Bowen, is technology leadership at its best." Evaluation of the new technology – a thermosyphon cooler developed by Johnson Controls – is the first project to become operational at the center. According to Johnson Controls, the technology transfers heat to the environment without evaporative water loss by using an air-cooled refrigerant that pre-cools water before it enters the cooling tower. The thermosyphon cooler reduces the amount of water that must be cooled by evaporation in the cooling tower, thus reducing water consumption. The year-long testing at the WRC will document the technology's water savings potential and energy consumption characteristics.

Improving Lifestyle Reduces Diabetes Risk
Sept. 5, 2011 -- Multiple lifestyle factors such as obesity and alcohol consumption increase a person's risk of diabetes. But new research suggests that a person's odds of developing the disease may decrease for each positive lifestyle change they make.
Lifestyle factors that can influence the risk of developing type 2 diabetes include diet, weight, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use.
Researchers, who surveyed about 200,000 people, say diabetes risk can be reduced by 31% for men and 39% for women for each positive lifestyle change, such as quitting smoking or regularly exercising. Also, alcohol use should not exceed one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men.
Positive Lifestyle Changes Reduce Diabetes Risk
People who manage to make improvements in all five risk areas may be able to reduce their risk by about 80%, according to the study.
It is known that lifestyle improvements may delay or prevent the disease, the study says, but it's less clear how making multiple changes might affect risk.
The scientists surveyed more than 114,996 men and nearly 92,483 women between the ages of 50 and 71 who had no evidence of heart disease, cancer, or diabetes at the start of the study. Between 1995 and 1996, demographic information was recorded, along with lifestyle factors that increase diabetes risk.
Ten years later, the participants were surveyed again to determine which ones had been diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor. During that time, 10% of men and 7.5% of women had been diagnosed.
The study also indicates that being overweight or obese is the strongest lifestyle risk factor of the five studied, but that people who already are overweight may still be able to reduce their risk by assuming low-risk lifestyle behaviors.
Researchers also found that even people with a family history of diabetes and are more likely to get the disease may be able to delay onset by leading a healthier lifestyle.
The study is published in the Sept. 6 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

For Greater Glory: A Movie For the World
Check out our review and interviews with Andy Garcia and the cast of the new faith inspired film For Greater Glory!
The movie was shot on location at many of the places where actual events took place, which is an effort that came with great risks and great rewards. It wouldn't be a stretch to label some of the circumstances of the shooting as extraordinary. First time director Dean Wright remembered some of the tougher moments: "There were no covered sets, which meant we were exposed to the weather. We finished on schedule to the day. We left his incredible place where the camp was, the next day the hurricane went through. We were [in a city] for two and a half weeks, the day after we left the road collapsed, there was no way in or out. That's the kind of… protection we had."
Andy Garcia and Mauricio Kuri
Mauricio Kuri, the teenage actor who played the youngest member of the Cristeros army, reflected on the other events surrounding the film: "God arranges things, God works in mysterious ways." Mauricio doesn't believe in coincidences, and it surely seems that divine intervention played a role in him landing the part of Jose Luis Sanchez. In only his second movie and first starring role he manages to steal several scenes while playing the dedicated small-town boy who becomes an essential part of the resistance. He was discovered in the harrowing final days of a long, worldwide casting search. "We couldn't find Jose, we couldn't find him," said Dean Wright. They were getting nervous as the shooting date loomed closer and closer. Mauricio's audition began as more of a favor for a friend, but it became much more than that. After he did the scenes, Dean recalls that they all looked at each other and said "It's no question, he is Jose."
"He's a very smart actor, he doesn't need a lot of help from me," said Andy Garcia, "He's a very talented kid so it was a joy." In order to get ready for the role Mauricio studied the characters' history, took classes in Bible, went on missions, and found ways to grow in his own religion. His character became an inspiration for his own life: "He was fourteen and he was willing to give his life for Christ? Would I have done the same thing in those times?" said Mauricio, "He's Mexican, and I thought, why don't people know about him, because his life is beautiful!"

I am an ultrasound tech and the heartbeat does show up before 9 weeks. You said you are 6 weeks 6 days....is that by your last period or is that what the ultrasound is measuring? If your baby is truly almost 7 weeks there should definitely be a heartbeat. What is happening with your HCG (hormone level)? If that is continuing to go up, then you are at a wait and see. Typically, we see cardiac motion at about 6 weeks...but that's when baby is measuring 6 weeks, not just by dates.posted 10/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
That also happened to me. I have a 3 year old son and we were trying for our second child. We got pregnant on July 2010. When I went for a transvaginal ultra sound to check the viability of my baby. They said that I was supposed to be 11 weeks old, but on the ultrasound my baby was only 6 weeks old and they could not see a hearbeat. They made me another transvaginal ultrasound and drew more blood to check my HCG levels. And yes, the levels were dropping, I had a miscarriage. My husband and I were both devastated. But God knows why he does things. We kept trying and are pregnant again.posted 02/04/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
This just happened to me -- I was about 10 weeks I thought, but it turned out the baby had stopped growing much earlier and there was no heartbeat. It was a miscarriage. It happens in 1 in 5 pregnancies. It's really sad, and I'm bummed I had to go through a month of morning sickness, but it's okay. We'll try again in a few months. Good luck to you and whatever happens know that you'll be okay though it.posted 11/14/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Last year I had a missed misses arise and at my first US transvaginal my they measured the sac at 5 weeks I went back around 6 1/2 weeks and still no embryo or heartbeat so I opted for a d&c recommened by the dr because the pregnancy was not viable. This pregnancy I went in thinking I was around 8 weeks but I got pregnant the first month of birth control and it was done transvaginally, this time I measured at 7 weeks 3days and I saw the baby and heartbeat has heard and at 148 which is normal so I have my next scan this Wednesday at 9wks 3days and hopefully growth is going well and heartbeat is still string. All pregnancies are different and you may have miss calculated how far along you were as long as you have seen the embryo I would have faith your little one is still growing and you'll see the heartbeat at your next scan. GL!!posted 06/21/2014 by ashleyg4289
I had an ultrasound to detect how far along i am...because i have irregular periods. When i went in they guessed me at 4 weeks but the ultrasound tech made out like because she couldnt see the fetus and there was no heartbeat that it was an early pregnancy failure! I was thinking i had to be much farther along for them to beable to see anything???? Im confused and hope this baby is still growing :) Very Disappointedposted 11/14/2008 by BeckyLeighWorkinOn3
i had to have a scan at 7weeks 3days and they could see a heart beat it was amazing, but my progesterone levels were low so they were worried i was givin a gel called crinone 8% and my levels went up, ask ur doc about this :) wish u all the best, iv to go back in two weeks cause there keeping an eye on meposted 12/06/2009 by shexy_girl1989
I donnot have an answer, all I can say is I am in the dark myself. I will wait for two to three weeks. I think I saw something when they were scanning me, but the doctor says otherwise. I hope all will be fine. this heart beat thing is killing us. I would like to know when is the right time to start seeing a doctor when pregnant.posted 09/29/2011 by Nelisiwe Mkhatshwa
im 8wks 3day and i have my second vaginal ultrasound coming up tomorrow- hopefully we see a heartbeat this time but i am not gonna worry until around 10 weeks. there is a chance they can see it before that but they will definately be able to see it by then so dont worry until around 10 weeks. u will be ok- i hope i am tooposted 08/08/2010 by Alysia1988
im 6 wks and 5 days i went in urgent care cuz i had spotted once but it was brown and they said it was normal and i got an ultrasound and it was normal so i went in today and they said my baby has no heart beat and maybe its to early but what concerns them is my babys isnt growing so thats what worrys me :/ but i think its just to early to hear it as long as u can see the licker you should be fine..posted 09/10/2008 by *krazy kim*
I had an ultrasound at what i thought was 7 wekks and it turned out that the baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days(8daydifference) but we seen the heartbeat it was 97 beats per minute.posted 05/08/2010 by Bolton4210

Hello, just a small suggestion and please feel free to ignore. Possibly there is space for a small/medium organiser? I just went to purchase a double organiser and realised the small is too small for a folded A4 sheet (A5 or 210 x 147) or a folder 'Letter' size sheet. A4 is the standard size for printers outside the US and also brochures or documents, as I would imagine Letter is within.
When I realised the small wouldn't fit the documents I thought I will buy the medium till I realised it wouldn't fit in the side pockets of my WF. So I then looked at every other organiser, mesh, clear, etc and they all have the same problem. So I can't get a nice Tom Bihn organiser for my side pockets
Maybe others have the same problem and there is room for an in-between size?

Local medical circles trying to address shortage
Sunday, June 23, 2013
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its implications have been on local physicians' and health care officials' minds for some time.
Especially of concern is a projected increase in demand of physicians, specifically primary care physicians, with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act on Jan. 1, 2014. The projected demand is because of population growth, an aging population and more people being insured by the ACA.
An April 14 News Tribune story titled "Report diagnoses doctor shortage" outlined the demand for primary care physicians and what local medical entities and organizations are doing to address the issue.
Key points from each organization include:
• A team of researchers recently published an article, "Projecting U.S. Primary Care Physician Workforce Needs: 2010-2025," that identifies the U.S. will need nearly 52,000 additional primary care physicians by 2025.
• The Missouri Primary Care Association is doing everything it can to "open more access points and hire more providers, but the biggest threat to our ability to continue that growth is finding qualified primary care providers."
• The University of Missouri Medical School hasn't seen a decline in the number of students going into the primary care profession, which includes family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics. "We've been successful at generating interest in students and picking students who might be interested," said Dr. Steven Zweig, professor and chairman of University of Missouri School of Medicine's Department of Family and Community Medicine. "It's about picking students who are interested and then helping encourage their interests at a much higher rate than average around the country."
• Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services' program, Primary Care Resource Initiative for Missouri (PRIMO), encourages people to go into primary care by offering loan forgiveness for working in rural or underserved areas of the state.
• Primary care is Mid-Missouri Area Health Education Center's emphasis. "We have a pipeline program where we work with kids from the time they're young, introducing them to health care careers through all the years in between to when they're practicing providers," said Jan Shipley, the organization's director.

(Sports Network) - Following months of negotiations, it appears the New York
Giants and Victor Cruz have finally come to terms on a lucrative contract
extension that will keep the playmaking wide receiver with the team for the
long term.
FoxSports.com first reported on Monday that Cruz will sign a five-year, $43
extension through the 2018 season. The Pro Bowl wideout was already under
contract for 2013 at a $2.879 million salary, the highest possible tender
allowed for a restricted free agent player.
Counting this season's salary, the entire deal will contain $15.6 million
worth of guaranteed money.
According to NFL.com, Cruz ultimately accepted an offer from the Giants that
had been on the table since he signed his RFA tender back on June 14.
The former undrafted free agent is coming off a pair of outstanding seasons.
After spending his entire rookie campaign on injured reserve in 2010, Cruz set
a franchise single-season record by racking up 1,536 receiving yards along
with nine touchdowns on 82 catches during New York's Super Bowl XLVI
championship run the following year. He backed up that breakout performance by
leading the Giants in receptions (86), receiving yards (1,092) and touchdown
grabs (10) en route to a Pro Bowl selection in 2012.
With Cruz now in the fold, the Giants may turn their attention to hammering
out a long-term deal with fellow wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, whose rookie
contract is slated to expire at the conclusion of this upcoming season.

Will Mr. Bhakta now surrender himself to immigration officials in the US and Mexico for conspiring to violate immigration laws of both countries?
Or are all Republicans (not just the leadership) exempt from the law?
Thank you for being the proverbial thorn....and for sharing your mother with us.
The undercurrent to immigration is that it is somehow tax evasion, which it is not. Real tax evasion is a much more worthy problem. The best way to fight tax evasion is to stop using cash. And the tax evasion this targets is not busboy's tips but giant real estate deals that are only 1/2 on the books, luxury trips, drug deals and money laundering.
Sorry, Colin, you are usually the funniest journalist I know, but I think it's been a while since you made me laugh as much as the closing line "the mariachi band was not immediately available for comment."
