At Craven Regional Airport in New Bern, small air crafts similar to the one that crashed Sunday, are used to fly travelers every day. One airport official spoke out and had a message for apprehensive travelers. Tom Braaten says travelers should not be frightened at all. Braaten says the pilots that fly out of Craven Regional have flown for a while and have airport directories they look at to see where they've been cleared. He goes on to say they know what their aircraft is capable of doing and six thousand feet of runway works fine for the planes we have, so everything is in good shape. The Kentucky crash that took the lives of 49 people is still being investigated.

Great Camp Glove
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Glove is perfect for cooking at camp with or using while rafting a river. The fact is the wool keeps you warm when wet so it can take spills and what not. Also when you touch a hot stove it wont disintegrate the nylon. The gloves fell apart, I just sewed them back up. They fell apart again, I was happy I could easily open beers and just use the gloves holes an all. 4 stars because they did have a lot of holes in them.

It was Count Domenico Agusta's obsessive policy to keep the secrets of his racing machines well hidden; many bikes suffered the ignominy of destruction, while others were interred beneath his airstrip's runway.
The year 1975 was a difficult one for Meccanica Verghera (MV) Agusta, the aristocratic Italian motorcycle makers. In its 30-year existence, an astounding 37 world racing championships had been won by legends such as Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and Giacomo Agostini. That year, MV Racing had no titles to show.

- U.S. investigators want battery history from Boeing's 787 Dreamliner
WASHINGTON — Boeing attempted a major step Friday toward getting its 787 Dreamliners flying again, proposing a fix for the plane's troubled batteries that could allow the flights to resume as early as April, congressional officials said.
The next question is whether the Federal Aviation Administration will agree to let the planes fly even though the root cause of a battery fire in one plane and a smoking battery in another is still unknown.
A Boeing team led by Ray Conner, chief executive of the commercial-airplanes division, presented the plan to FAA head Michael Huerta. The airliners, Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced, have not been allowed to fly since mid-January.
The plan — a long-term solution, rather than a temporary fix — calls for revamping the aircraft's two lithium-ion batteries to ensure that any short-circuiting that could lead to a fire won't spread from one battery cell to the others, officials said. That would be achieved by placing more robust ceramic insulation around each of the battery's eight cells. The aim is to contain not only the short-circuiting but any thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that leads to progressively hotter temperatures.
The additional spacers will enlarge the battery, requiring a bigger battery box.

Two boys are recovering after Onslow County Animal Control says they were attacked by a Rottweiler Wednesday night.
Animal control says it happened just before 7:00 o'clock off of Briarneck road between Highway 258 and Gum Branch road.
The officer says a 3 year-old Rottweiler escaped his pen and attacked the two children, ages 7 and 12, who were playing in a nearby yard. The kids have back and hip injuries.
The 12-year-old was taken to Onslow Memorial Hospital while the 7 year-old was flown by Eastcare to Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
The dog's owners weren't home at the time, but animal control officers were able to get the dog. It's at the shelter.
We're told the dog hasn't had any previous attacks.

When to Apply Strobilurin Fungicides for Managing Common Rust of Sweet Corn 2006
download pdf document, 278k
Project Leader: D. Shah, Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, NYSAES, Geneva, NY
Cooperator: J. Pataky, University of Illinois
Abstract: Many preferred sweet corn hybrids grown in New York are susceptible to common rust, and therefore growers must use fungicides for effective disease management. Strobilurin fungicides work well, but are too costly to be applied to the crop more than once a season. The question then becomes one of the best timing to apply that single spray. If the application is made too early, rust may still build to damaging levels; if too late, rust levels may not be reduced sufficiently. A model was constructed to simulate common rust epidemics, and used to examine whether fungicide applications made according to pre-specified disease thresholds resulted in cost-effective disease control. Simulations were done for action thresholds between 1 and 15% disease severity. Simulation results indicated a linear increase in the chances of cost-effective rust control when the action threshold was increased from 1 to 15%. In summary, simulation results suggest that a strobilurin fungicide application made during the early stages of a rust epidemic is at greater risk of losing money because of ineffective disease control compared to waiting to make the application if and when disease severity increases to higher levels.

WHAT a lovely feeling it was to go to work on a Monday morning safe in the knowledge that the mighty reds had stormed to 3 points, and that chortles and guffaws would be directed at other poor sods who happen to support teams not as fortunate.
Before I get into my piece I just wanted to share a couple of thoughts that have certainly made me chuckle over the weekend (don't worry they are Liverpool related!).
First off it is the disservice paid by some to other Premier League teams, who, let's not forget, are in the top flight on merit regardless of where their current form finds them. Why did this point make me chuckle you ask? Well, young/old whippersnappers/codgers, Liverpool record an excellent victory which is belittled because of the perceived level of our opposition whether it be Wigan this weekend or at Carrow Road a number of weeks ago. A Wigan side that has recently won away at Spurs and a Norwich team who have beaten both United and Arsenal, whilst recording clean sheets no less.
In this league, any team is capable of getting a result against any other team; to belittle certain opposition smacks of the kind of arrogance that can lead to complacency – something not welcome at all.
The second point relates to the nonsense stat regarding where Liverpool would be without Suarez. Codswallop, boulderdash, tomfoolery are words I would use in response!
How any serious journalist or pundit can roll this out is beyond me. Dabbling in the hypothetical is more Mystic Meg than Pulitzer Prize. Do I need to embellish further? If so please let me know!
Anyways, chuckle time over, game face on people; it is debate time once more! This week I am asking the question: Is it time we gave Brendan Rodgers some credit?
Normal process ensues. I will argue yin and yang responses and humbly ask you, yes you, to let me know which side of the fence you stand and why! Hey, if there is another side then please let me know!
Rodgers credit? Hell Yeah!
We now stand at 7 games unbeaten in the league, and during this run only Manchester's City and United have picked up more points. Of course it is disappointing to have drawn so many of these ties but it is crucial not to forget the minutiae that have lead to this. Let me expand…
The teams at the top, on form, and high on confidence will find that decisions tend to swing in their favour (City's first penalty this weekend anyone?), the bounce of the ball and the calmness in front of goal. In a parallel universe these last 7 games will have seen amongst others; Suarez celebrating a winner at Goodison and Shelvey bagging at least two to sink Newcastle.
This is delving a little too much into fantasy for me, but worth highlighting that moments completely beyond the control of Rodgers have restricted our progress somewhat. In terms of the Wigan game, let us not forget, Rodgers is still in the infancy of his Liverpool life and with a limited squad that needs rotation, has to experiment somewhat to get the best out of what is available. Personally, I like the three at the back formation for a number of reasons I'm sure I will discuss at another time.
Like him or not, in Rodgers we have a manager not afraid to admit his mistakes, assess a game as it happens and change it, regardless of the time on the clock. Not every game will go to plan or run smoothly so it is crucial that you have a manager able to spot what is not happening and change it.
Credit is also due in terms of how Rodgers has dealt with Jose Enrique and, seemingly, Henderson. The Spaniard after an impressive start looked woeful at left back, devoid of confidence and seemingly waving goodbye to Anfield. Yet Rodgers has deployed him higher up the pitch and removed the defensive shackles and he is responding well. As for Henderson, we have a player who is the model professional and seemingly responding to the tough love (unlike certain others) and grabbing his opportunity.
Rodgers credit? Hell No!!!
Come off it, are we not getting carried away with a win against Wigan at home? Surely all games at Anfield should yield 3 points, and games against the likes of Wigan should be viewed as goal difference fodder! Rodgers failed to learn his lesson from last week against Chelsea in utilising a formation with three at the back without a proper holding midfielder.
Utilising Allen in this unfamiliar role is leading him to lose his effectiveness and tire (although, Allen haters, he did win back possession more times than anyone else, as well as intercepting more times).
The formation change was more luck than anything else! Suso was by far our best player and what is Rodgers essentially saying to him when he withdraws him in spite of his performance?
We are in November, meaning that Rodgers is fast approaching 6 months at the helm, so why is he still tinkering with the side and with formations; surely by now he must know his best XI overall, and his best available XI? What frustrates most in Rodgers (as well as other recent managers) is the obsession of who we are playing against! Too much time is spent on thinking how to deal with this player of that player when surely we should be saying 'who cares who plays for them, they need to worry about Gerrard, Suarez' etc.
Do United, Barca or Real mess about with their team depending on opposition? No, they have a belief in the way they play and the players that they have, and that is why they are successful. Players need time to gel together and to find form and if you constantly tinker and mess them around they can never settle and never get a rhythm. Is it not worrying that even with a squad so small that Rodgers does not play a settled side?
Well there you! Personally, I stand with the 'Hell Yeah's'. Regardless of what I think of Rodgers I am a firm believer in giving credit where it is due and the ways in which he has positively affected the last two games has been impressive! But who the hell cares what I think! What do you think?

Jez! This website sure does attract an awful lot of childish name calling impatient 'people' who mouth off with no back up to their opinions.
Like yourself so ! Your from the braindead section whose only thoughts are stupid stupid excuses ( see your post above ) , or pleading for 'patience' . patience and excuses are for losers . There is no way you are even from Liverpool with those childish attitudes
@ Vickers.
'There is no way you are even from Liverpool with those childish attitudes'
Ooooohhh the irony! LOL!!
Wow , you can quote . well done
Simon, perhaps check out Jack's previous response! Regardless of whether I agree with him or not, he has an opinion and has supported it. Why dont you nail your flag into the ground, provide your reasoning and stand by what you believe?
curiously enough the world is made up of different opinions, lets hear yours
I believe BR is a very luck manager this season , He has had a host of excellent youth to choose from ,that no other LFC manager has had .
Also a top world class striker bang on form to drag us into mid table , something King Kenny didnt have .
Credit to BR ? None sorry . And when i see teams like Chelsea sacking theirs or Spurs last season , it amazes me we havent sacked Brendan
Rodgers must be sacked BEFORE january , all his signings are flops and he cant be trusted with more money . No manager deservexcredit for beatin Wigan at home . He has tried but he HAS failed miserably
Both are valid points he can only work with what he has got.When things are wrong in a gane he changes them which most managers won't do I would like him to buy in Jan but not drop the youth that have got us where we are at the moment it would be a real blow to their belief in how good they are.. All said and done yes he does deserve praise
Sack Rodgers pleese , he is worst manager in our history
Care to expand?
Look at the stupid team this fella s picked tonight . assaidi not a liverpool player and cole playing as striker ??? Rodgers is a joke .
Im starting to think hes a man u fan trying tio mess us up – its working
We have a small squad, what's he supposed to do? 4 games in 10 days!!
Nice to see you have given assaidi a chance!
Also think you will find shelvey is the 'striker'
Oh come on ! you dont really think Assaidi is a player ? do you ? he is championship level at best
and you know this how? are you involved in traiing every day? extensive knowedge of the Dutch league?
The guy has played a handful of games as needs to adapt and settle, how is i possible to make such a judgement so quickly!
I apologise now if you are in fact Mr I Spottalent of 1 Great Scouting Avenue, supremeplayerknowledgeville. sheesh
Tim you really are dull . the same stupid articles every week with the same replies . you sympathise and defend FSG , you defend and amazingly even praise our worst manager ever , you defend and amazingly even praise one of the worst players in joe allen , you mindlessly defend and make everything seem wonderful . none of your opinions have any crediblity because of this
Hi redrum,
how are you? thanks for rwading again.
Is this piece a defence of Rodgers? or a positive and negative take on Rodgers followed by my humble opinion. The last piece was about ownership in general without mentioning FSG! Hey I could be wrong, I shall read again, maybe you should try that too!
But hey, you are more than entitled to your opinion, please, bring it in to the conversation, why do you not rate Rodgers, FSG or Allen. Please actually make points rather than one sentence responses!
More embarrasment for Liverpool FC tonight , drawing at home v a mid-table swiss team and about to exit the europa in group stage . enough is enough surely , Rodgers is beyond incompetent
I would urge all real fans to stand up for our club and DEMAND RODGERS REMOVAL before we sink even lower . if Rodgers was a decent man he would resign
Yes The time has come for action , those dithering fools at FSG need a kick up the backside
what action are you going to take Simon?
what are you hoping to achieve?
Action i m not sure , ill see what others think at supporters club meeting . petition ? or a boycott of merchandise ? There are many ways to let owners know of discontent . There are many who feel the same . Achieve ? A proper manager of course not this joke
I dont feel the need to share all my reasons exactly . Come on , even a total moron can see the state Rodgers has our club . Every week its worse and nobody's doing anything to change it .I never thought things could be worse than Hodgson , i was wrong
You don't feel the need to share your opinions? Total cop out that! Be brave, you are entitled to your opinion, I'm not going to try and mug you off if I disagree with you! I write to stimulate debate as I enjoy talking about footie!
Couple of questions
1. How are we getting worse?
2. What manager comes in?
3. How many games before they are judged?
4. What if they struggle?
5. Supporter action is required for the likes of H&G, surely not for now?
Challenge for your GaryMac, why do you think Rodgers is incompetent? and make your answer so that it doesnt mention a final score. Up for that challenge?
yawn …. They have been answered before , I dont know why you are asking ? Anyone can sell all the problems , the managers incompetence is there for all to see . Its getting to the stage now where im really bewildered as to why this guy has ANY support . Its a bit cheeky , but i would have to ask – Are those who still support Rodgers genuine fans ? its not a slag , im seriously contemplating it
They haven't though Simon, despite me asking them numerous times! I ask again, in your mind how is he incompetent??
To question whether those that back the manager, for whatever reason, are genuine fans is absurd. Just because someone's opinion differs from yours doesn't mean they support the club less.
For example, rather than being the Rodgers worshiper some think I am, I actually think the club needs stability and a long term plan…..this sounds ominously like an advert for my next piece!!
they need stability WITH THE RIGHT MANAGER , stability with the wrong manager is stupid ,and will only bring our club down to newer depths
I agree with you there. next questions:
1. Who is the right manager?
2. Why is Rodgers not the right manager?
' WHY IS Rodgers not right manager ' ?
stop being silly , are you that blind you have to even ask ????
Stop avoiding the question!
You have stated you don't rate him and in asking why?
as a regular reader but someone who has never commented before , i feel the need to do so now after reading these comments and replies .
im a devout fan for 25 years , live in southport 2 kids , go to 5-10 games a season , ive never felt so low as a LFC fan .
i was not excited or horrified by brendan rodgers appointment , i do like the man and feel he will be a very good coach someday , homever sometimes a face just doesn't fit . history shows many good managers failing to fit into clubs ( clough at leeds , rafa at inter ) , history shows many good managers not being big enough to manage a big club ( hodgson , gross at spurs , big sam at newcastle ) , i feel rodgers is one of these
we are in danger of losing fans , i offered to take my 9 year old to last nights game , he didn't want to go , i called him to watch us v chelsea on tv – he wasnt bothered . he is a big fan and really cares but rodgers team and their side passing negative football is putting him off . its sad !
i know fans will berate me for this but i feel its in our best interests to lose the next 2 games . i know its a disgusting thing to feel but i would rather short term pain and rodgers sacked than enduring another year of this . as a result i am not able to watch the game on sun as i could not activly hope they didn't score etc . its horrible that any fan should want this but i believe it is truly in our best interests to get hammered on sun
mr. henry and co have not shown much leadership or good decision making so far , i pray they will make this change ASAP
Mr Fox,
First of all may I say Thank You to you, you obviously have an opinion on events and the article but more importantly you have supported this and given reasons in a rational manner! (and not called me a Nazi!haha) Absolutely key to a good discussion.
I dont think any fan is happy with the way things stand today, but as a question to you, can this be solely laid at the feet of Rodgers or is it a combination of a number of factors?
Playing Devils advocate here:
1. is this not a long term project, turning the preverbial tanker around?
2. changing manager is very risky and could cause more trouble than its worth?
3. who could replace?
4. Could it not be argued that neither Clough at Leeds nor Rafa at Inter were given enough time or support?
I really hope you come back to these as you appear capable of engaging in decent discussion unlike some!
very insulting tim , hope you dont mean me
anyway is it a shame that any LFC feels that way ? that he wants us to lose a few games ? it is a shame
he is not the only 1 , 2 guys at work , pool fans , were sayin they hope swans win 6-0 to end rodgers dismal reign
some everton fans were hoping we win the odd game to keep him in a job
Haha feel guilty? Take note of Mr Fox, he qualified his opinion! Please do the same!
Of course it is a shame fans feel like that, but I refer you to the questions I asked him…

Porkpie and Stingy HatsAlthough the pork pie hat, sometimes known as the "stingy brim hat," is most often associated with 1920s and '30s Britain, Buster Keaton and jazz-era America, this super stylish cap actually dates all the way back to the American Civil War. Pork pie hats are traditionally rounded hats with narrow, curled brims and partially domed crowns. A hallmark of high fashion and eccentricity, pork pie hats are most often finished with fun embellishments like feathers and patterned or striped bands.
Hats in the Belfry offers an enormous variety of stylish and high-quality pork pie hats, including straw pork pie hats and classic wool pork pies. Our Belfry pork pie hat line includes classic 1920s-inspired caps made from wool, chambray, wool felt and even straw.

In Afghanistan, 'Games Without Rules'Download audio (MP3)
The history of Afghanistan is often understood in terms of invasions. The area has been occupied by the likes of Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan, and, more recently, the Soviet Union and the U.S.-led NATO coalition. But the country has its own compelling story independent of the interventions, writes San Francisco-based author Tamim Ansary. The Kabul native joins us to discuss his new book, "Games Without Rules: The Often Interrupted History of Afghanistan."
Host: Michael Krasny
- Mir Tamim Ansary, lecturer and author of books including "Games Without Rules," "Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes" and "West of Kabul, East of New York"

New "Saturday Night Live" addition Sasheer Zamata made her debut on the NBC comedy institution this past weekend. Zamata's hire came after the series received considerable and well-deserved attention for its lack of diversity -- the Upright Citizens Brigade theater alum is the first black female cast member the series has had since Maya Rudolph left in 2007.
Before the new gig, Zamata appeared on TV series like "Fodder" and "Inside Amy Schumer," as well as various online videos like the one below, a new offering from Above Average, the online comedy network belonging to Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video. It feature Zamata as Madison, a "denim theory" major from Oberlin who gives "Girls" tours in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, showing off important landmarks from the show like the garbage can in which Hannah illegal dumped trash from work. Take a look below.
(And while the video's a gag and fictional, the phenomenon it describes has been on the verge of happening for a while, with the bus company that runs the "Sex in the City" tours having admitted they were in the early stages of developing an offering based on the Lena Dunham HBO series. So consider the joke on all of us.)

New Solar Panel Array Doubles the Energy and Halves the Cost of Traditional Solar
Posted By Andrew Michler On February 21, 2011 @ 1:45 pm In Environment,Renewable Energy,Solar Power | 2 Comments
NREL [2] just announced a huge breakthrough in making solar electricity competitive with fossil fuels as they unveiled the Amonix [3] 7700 Concentrated Photovoltaic or CPV Generator. We cover a lot of solar technologies [4] at Inhabitat, but what makes this system so special is the technology behind it – Amonix has basically taken space grade solar cells [5] and put them under a lens here on earth. The resulting system tracks the sun and produces nearly double the power of traditional solar electric arrays at utility-scale installations. The technology has the added benefit being the least land-intensive form of solar power in the world.
CPV solar-electric cells use a complex triple junction technology [6] based on gallium cells [5]. They have long been used in space for their robustness — while traditional silicon-based cells wither in the heat, this technology is nearly immune to high temperatures, so sunlight can be concentrated on the cells to dramatically improve their efficiency — up to 42% in the lab [7]. The 7700 CPV uses low-cost Fresnel lenses to increase solar density on the cells by 500 times. Tiny cells convert that concentrated energy at a total of 26% efficiency — or twice that of typical solar panels in the field.
Each 10kW module is made from 36 sets of lenses and receiver plates that house the multi-junction solar cells. The 10 x 49 foot panel [8] is set on a two-axis tracking mount which add up to 50% power production. The combination of technologies co-developed with NREL and Amonix using DOE grants has resulted in the most cost-efficient solar technology in the world that also uses the least amount of land.
The new system makes the installation of solar fields much less disruptive. As each panel is mounted on a pole, grading is not often needed. The huge panels are also much easier to transport and install, which greatly simplifies logistics. The overall installed costs are one-half to one-third the price of amorphous silicon and thin film utility-scale solar array installations.
Solar technologies, while promising, are more expensive and use much more land [9]that traditional fossil fuel energy. The Amonix CPV system combines new tech with a lower-impact design thanks to a government and private partnership.

If you weren't at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday, you didn't get to see the Denver Broncos Thunderstorm team skydive into the stadium.
But the group shared the experience on their Facebook page with video from a helmet camera worn by member Justin Thornton.
"It's long, but it shows what it's like to be a part of an incredible team of people and to represent the Denver Broncos organization," the group said of the video that lasts 6 minutes and 43 seconds.
Six skydivers in orange and blue jumpsuits — including the team's first woman — leaped from a plane and landed one by one on the field.
Team member David Billings told the Post in an earlier interview that the team has been part of the Broncos pre-game rituals since 2009.
The group is headquartered at Vance Brand Airport in Longmont and for safety reasons can only perform at the stadium when winds are below 15 mph.

Overshadowed in recent years by its Olympian sister city, Beijing, Shanghai is worth a visit of its own. No doubt you've heard about China's explosive economic growth in recent years, and this is the center of the activity. If you want to see where China is headed in the coming decade, start your vacation here and see for yourself.
At publication time, one U.S. dollar will get you just over six Renminbi (e.g. "the people's money") or yuan. As with any major world metropolis, you'll need to work for your bargains, but you may just find them hidden in plain sight. Affordable excursions include visiting the Old Chinese City, taking in the view from the observation deck of the Jinmao Tower, and seeing colonial architecture in the French Concession. Exploring on foot will quickly show you the contrasts between old and new, with ancient homes and storefronts intermingled with shiny skyscrapers. Frommer's has put together four self-guided walking tours, targeting a variety of interests (e.g., the commercial center, the Old City, etc.), that won't cost you a dime.
Expect the bulk of your vacation funds to go toward accommodations, although the city does have a wide range to choose from. Save on meals by having a large lunch (many restaurants have cost-effective fixed-price menus), instead of going all-out for dinner.
For those wanting to venture beyond Shanghai, SmarTours is offering a 10-day "China Sampler" to Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai from $1,299 per person, including airfare, eight nights' accommodations, all in-country flights and local transfers, 12 meals, and sightseeing tours with an English-speaking guide.

text: Some may be familiar with the effort going on now to try and come up with the financing to build an entertainment and sports complex in downtown Sacramento. It has been tabbed Think BIG Sacramento. They have now thought "big" enough to include many of Sacramento's outlying communities such as Lincoln and Rocklin. It is spearheaded, at least in part, by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. Sports fans remember Mayor (KJ) Johnson as a former NBA All-Star basketball player with the Phoenix Suns and collegiate star at the University of California, Berkeley. The concept of the new complex was apparently triggered when the owners of the Sacramento Kings indicated they would move their franchise to Anaheim, if the city of Sacramento didn't come up with a suitable replacement for the Power Balance Pavilion (formerly Arco Arena) presently located in Natomas. Johnson began working on the idea and traveled back to New York in the spring to plead his case with the National Basketball Association and the team's owners, the Maloofs. Johnson convinced the NBA and the Maloofs that his plan for a new sports center was on solid footing and that led the team's owners to agree to keep the Kings in Sacramento for at least one more season – but now comes the hard part. The latest media release from Think BIG Sacramento was a Public Synergies Report. The report indicated the estimated cost of this new structure would be $387 million, to be funded both publicly and privately; however, that could be where things get tricky. The Public-Private Partnership shows the Kings being the anchor occupant of the new complex, and the taxpayers being the owners – multiple revenue streaming required. It should be pointed out, this plan was developed even though Sacramento had all but given up on keeping the Kings in town. Johnson indicated he believed the entertainment and sports center would be an economic boon to the community with or without the Kings. However, not everyone is on board with this idea, especially taxpayers who could care less about the Kings franchise. Evidence has shown such a complex can financially benefit an area. It has been demonstrated in other municipalities where such facilities have been built, and there is definitely a following for professional sports. Dave Butler of the Rocklin Chamber of Commerce said destinations such as the proposed multiplex do bring in money. "This has been done in other communities across the country and was ultimately a good thing," said Butler. Butler also stated the area benefits from having the Kings playing in Sacramento. In this economy, nearly $400 million to build the complex isn't chump change. While lawmakers in Washington fight over whether or not to print a couple trillion more dollars the Sacramento area has no such option. In fact, if the fed prints more money it will drive up the price of the multi-use complex, and drive down the economy – even Wall Street is bothered by this. However, my hat is off to Mayor Johnson and his willingness to "think big" even when the odds do not appear to be in his favor. I also credit the local chambers of commerce for offering their support, in theory anyway, but they have to be feeling a bit uncertain when the time comes for the private sector to put money on the table. The Maloofs claim they've spent millions in their efforts to keep the Kings in Sacramento, and Anaheim is betting they've already "thought big" enough to lure them south. Whether or not this proves to be reality or just an unfulfilled dream remains to be seen.

38 gallon stocking.
Hi all, I am redoing my 38 gallon and want something more sophisticated that the neon tetras and cardinals,but not something as expensive as coral pencil fish. I would get around 12 also. My pH is around 7-7.4 right now because I have a air pump hooked up to it and that's driving my Co2 out... when it isn't on the ph is 6.5.. I like pencil fish and emperor tetras but I am also into pretty characins. the tank mates will be 2 killies and 2 mating kribs and two mating angels
First, i would separate the kribs and angel pairs. When either spawns, look out. There is insufficient space for two spawning cichlid species.
The cichlids also restrict options. I would not have any pencilfish. You need more robust fish. One of the Hyphessobrycon species in the Rosy clade would work, some are nippers but others work well with cichlids.
Okay i don't have angels so I won't get them, Would rummy nose tetras work?
Pelvicachromis pulcher (krib) occurs in slow or still plant-thick waters. So a pair in a 38g so aquascaped would work with most characins, rasbora, some catfish. The latter would be an issue when spawning.
Rummys need soft, acidic water, which you have, and with lots of plants including floating (they do not like light) would be fine.
I have them in there right now and hey are spawning nicely, I just want fancier tetras... no bottom fish or anything like that

Practice wrap-up
A quick around-the-room as I try to make my train to the plane to get to Toronto. New (old) lines for the Rangers today as John Tortorella reunites Derek Stepan's line and keeps Artem Anisimov's line together.
Brandon Dubinsky left the ice early and did not return after taking a shot off the arm. John Tortorella said it was a precautionary move and that Dubinsky would definitely play tomorrow. The coach added there was no need to call up a forward from Hartford (AHL) just in case. Marty Biron will play one of these three games in four nights and Henrik Lundqvist was a little cagey when I asked him whether he was in tomorrow or not. He said he'd check with the coaching staff as to whether he could tell me. I told him don't bother. I did ask Tortorella whether Lundqvist was playing but only because that's my job. He said he would exercise his option not to disclose his goalie the day before the game, which is certainly his right.
Defensively, Mike Sauer is in, though it's unclear whether Matt Gilroy or Steve Eminger will sit. If the fifth and sixth defense spots are going to be a constant evaluation, it might make sense to see Sauer and Gilroy paired together to see if that's a match. Eminger is the only one of the three who has not been a healthy scratch through the first four games.
Brandon Dubinsky-Artem Anisimov-Ryan Callahan
Alex Frolov-Erik Christensen-Brandon Prust
Sean Avery-Derek Stepan-Ruslan Fedotenko
Derek Boogaard-Todd White-Brian Boyle
Marc Staal-Michal Rozsival
Michael Del Zotto-Dan Girardi
Mike Sauer-Steve Eminger/Matt Gilroy
Tortorella said he wanted Anisimov and Stepan's lines together because they'd been effective and didn't want to "rob Peter to pay Paul" by coming up with all-new combinations.

Follow the Record Sports Staff at twitter.com/TheRecordSports
This will be a big game for Christensen, with White ready to step into more of an offensive role if Christensen falters. Tortorella clearly wasn't pleased with Christensen talking so much about his sore right groin.
Also, Tortorella made a point of mentioning Christensen along the the group of other NHL veterans on the team when asked about the responsibility being placed upon Anisimov and Stepan.
"I have to watch that," Tortorella admitted. "But I think some responsibility has to fall on some of the guys who have been in the league. Erik Christensen, he has to strap on his skates and play more consistently. We need more from some of the veteran defensemen."
Last season, Tortorella said he had to limit Anisimov's time among the top six forwards because, defensively, Anisimov didn't feel comfortable going against the other team's top lines. That hasn't been an issue this season and Tortorella said Anisimov has been more comfortable both offensively and defensively, though, obviously, nobody on this team has played flawless defense yet.
The Rangers also spent the last half of their practice this morning working on the power play. While the point men rotated, here were the constant lines:
I asked Tortorella about putting the A on Marc Staal and the coach said this would be a permanent move during Vinny Prospal's absence, saying it was a unanimous decision among coaches and management and that it was the right thing to do because Staal is a huge part of the Rangers' young core and the team wants him to have some added leadership responsibilities as a result.
Tortorella also said it's been discussed among the team what the proper response should be playing the Maple Leafs again. Just last Friday, Colby Armstrong's boarding penalty left Marian Gaborik out 2-4 weeks with a separated left shoulder. Tortorella said it was brought up during a team meeting that while the Rangers need to play hard at Toronto, they also need to play disciplined.
"We're playing these guys two more times this month (also Oct. 30 at Toronto) and when you play that close, back-to-back, it can get heated," Prust said. "Sometimes they'll be some bad blood. It should be intense. That's what we need…We can't focus on one thing. We've got to focus on winning. We'll see how the games goes. We'll play hard."
"The past is the past," Lundqvist added. "There's no point spending your energy or time on what happened. People get hurt. We just have to make sure we stand up for each other."
Prust is also looking forward to playing a more offensive role on a line with Christensen and Frolov.
"I want to get in on the forecheck and help them get the puck," Prust said. "They're good when they have the puck."
More on the Lundqvist or Biron question and some thoughts from Sauer on rejoining the lineup later today. Now, on to the airport.

Before my current career in academia, I worked in the hotel industry in my home country Finland, as well as for extended times in Sweden, Germany, Spain and the USA.
I hold a Bachelor degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Vaasan Hotelli ja Ravintola Instituutti (1992), and a Bachelor degree in Vocational Education from Abo Akademi (1999), both in Finland. After moving to Australia in 2000 I have also received a PG Cert in Higher Education from Macquarie University (2003); a PG Dip in Tourism Management (2001); a MBA (2003) both from Macquarie Graduate School of Management.
My research interests are divided between two separate areas, Hospitality and Tourism Education on the one hand and Post Structural Studies of Tourism on the other. While the first mentioned is highly practical and involves concrete actions in education, the other is more abstract and aims at critically evaluating tourism research and practice from a non-positivist perspective. While potentially sounding confused, the mixture is actually forcing me to think both laterally and analytically at both areas, thus never lacking new ideas of issues at hand.

Cardio will make you loose fat yes but it won't give you that firm lean look that you're after. When the word weight training is mentioned most women are afraid or cautious to lift weights as they think it will make you look "manly" or unfeminine, I lift weights 6x per week and do I look unfeminine? Well I hope not…. :)
I would definitely recommend incorporating a full body weight training workout into your weekly gym sessions 3x per week to introduce yourself into weight training slowly. Starting with legs, weighted squats and lunges are a must! They are a brilliant fat burning workout and they do wonders in firming up those glutes ladies! Upper body movements can be a mix of push and pull exercises to incorporate all muscle groups, mix up the exercises and remember to focus on the main upper body areas, shoulders, back and chest.
All exercises depend on your ability so if you are unsure don't be afraid to ask a personal trainer at your gym for advice first, remember weight training with incorrect form can lead to injury.
In terms of supplements I would defiantly recommend adding extra protein into your diet, this is very important especially if you are incorporating weights into your new training regime. Start the day by having 1 scoop of protein power with your breakfast and another straight after your gym workout, I would personally recommend the Performance Diet Whey or Pure Whey 80, there are a wide variety of flavours and their both low in calories and carbohydrates , brilliant if you are trying to lose those extra pounds.
Taking a fat burner can really help, it will boost your metabolism throughout the day and if taken before a workout it will give you that extra energy needed. I'd recommend rotating a fat burner 2 days on- 1 day off, this will stop your body becoming too used to the product and may become less effective, I use the Warrior Princess Blaze and rotate this into my diet plan. In addition to this other good weight management supplements are Acai berry and CLA tablets.
Remember consistency is key, work hard think positive and eat right!
Happy training!

Into the Archive: J. M. Coetzee and His Precursors
University of Leeds, United Kingdom, 28th June, 2011
A Call for Expressions of Interest
J. M. Coetzee's appearance at the "Samuel Beckett: Out of the Archive" conference in York this June is a timely point to reconsider the dynamics of what Coetzee, one of the more challenging of Beckett's literary heirs, himself has called 'literary paternity' by means of a one-day conference. The organizers are happy to invite expressions of interest from the academic community at large to participate in the symposium to be held at the University of Leeds on the 28th June.
Our subtitle, "Coetzee and His Precursors", itself upholds this principle of textual reconsideration, alluding to one of Coetzee's most prominent creative influences, Franz Kafka. In his essay 'Kafka and His Precursors', Borges writes:
For that reason, the organizers have brought together outstanding scholars and translators of Coetzee's work to speak, in 'countervoice' with the delegates, about their views on this theme and the interesting implications and new terrain it presents. Each speaker has been asked to prepare a 5-10 minute presentation, abstracts of which will be distributed among the delegates prior to the conference. The delegates will then be expected to respond to the speakers' points, drawing on their own work and range of creative and critical sources. Delegates will not be required to submit paper abstracts or deliver papers. Rather, delegates will be expected to respond to the presentations as opportunities to generate truly collaborative knowledge, generated itself in the dialogue of different minds thinking to a single purpose. Moving away from the traditional speaker-centred papers approach, we envisage a polyphonic delegate-driven engagement with the specific ideas generated by the speaker.
To this end, we are asking prospective delegates to prepare 250-300 word biographies that include mapping out their interests in Coetzee and his precursors. Postgraduate students and early career scholars are particularly encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will be notified within a fortnight. Biographies should be sent to the conference email address: firstname.lastname@example.com by no later than the 26th April, 2011. Further questions are welcomed at this address as well. More information is regularly communicated on coetzeeandhisprecursors.wordpress.com.

Mokane Jared Wood saw some discomfort, some intimidation in his South Callaway Bulldogs. Especially junior pitcher Smith Kemper, who took the mound for the Bulldogs in Thursday's game against the Jefferson City Jays.
"You could tell that when there was nobody on and he went off the stretch," Wood said. "... They were a good-hitting team and they hit the ball well."
Kemper agreed.
"A little bit, just because it's been a week or a week and a half since I pitched, so I wasn't comfortable coming out of the windup," he said.Kemper surrendered three runs in the first as the Bulldogs fell to the Jays 6-0. It was the second loss in a row for South Callaway (8-2), which had won its previous 18 games and last season's Class 2 state championship.

DFMWR kicks off summer with Family fun at Lake Fest May 29
May 13, 2010
By Janice Sullivan, DFMWR Marketing Director
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Summer is almost upon us and it's time for Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff to host its annual Lake Fest celebration May 29.
This kick-off to summer provides a fun-filled outdoor experience for Army Families with free swimming, boating opportunities, food vendors, a car show and much more.
The festivities start at noon and last until 6 p.m. on West Beach at Lake Tholocco. Families should bring their lawn chairs and blankets to sit back and enjoy a classic rock performance by the band, Generation.
Patrons can take advantage of the many free opportunities ranging from swimming, free use of the paddle boats and canoes, and children's inflatables. Several contests are planned for participants of all ages, such as sand castle building, volleyball tournament, sack race, water balloon and frozen T-shirt contests.
Karen Key, recreational assistant with ODR, commented on the beauty of Lake Tholocco.
"The lake is looking beautiful. The maintenance team has been working hard cleaning up and preparing the park for the upcoming season. I would personally like to encourage all families to come out and enjoy the facilities here at Lake Tholocco. The Family fun atmosphere is worth taking advantage of, and it's local and affordable."
Lake Tholocco offers plenty for patrons of all ages to do and enjoy, from fishing, water sports, camping, picnicking or just coming out and enjoying the scenery. Soldiers and their Families can have fun without breaking the bank or leaving the installation.
"Lake Tholocco has a lot to offer our Army Families and we want everyone to come out and experience what is available" said Evy Bludsworth, deputy director of DFMWR.
A new aspect to this year's event is DFMWR teaming up with Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers to bring a car show to Lake Fest. From professional judges to event patrons casting their votes at the event for Best in Show, the competition for the coolest ride should be a fun and interesting venue.
The car show showcases motorcycles, trucks and cars. Trophies are awarded to the top three winners in each category. Cost to participate in the car show is $10 by May 21 or $20 after that day. For more information on entering the BOSS Car Show, call 255-2677.
"DFMWR and Army Family Covenant are proud to offer events like Lake Fest to the Families and community where they can have fun and a safe experience while not spending a lot of money," said Emily Klein, DFMWR special events coordinator. "It is important to spend time together as a Family, and Lake Fest is one of those opportunities you just shouldn't pass up."
In addition to all the fun activities planned for this year's Lake Fest, patrons can take advantage of being green through recycling programs now being offered at major events hosted by DFMWR. Recycling bins are available to properly dispose of your aluminum and plastic items. So be on the look-out for recycling bins to help keep the installation green and be proactive in recycling to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The Fort Rucker community is encouraged to take advantage of the special events planned by DFMWR throughout the year as they work hard to bring entertainment for the entire Family.
"We work with Army Entertainment to bring in special events like the Soldier Show, USA Express and Comics on Tour. In addition, we are planning to have the 'Sesame Street' characters visit in June and a Luau in August," Bludsworth said.
For more information on Lake Fest or any of the upcoming special events, call DFMWR at 255-1794 or visit www.ftruckermwr.com.

After a pleasantly short week it's time to say "Hello!" to the weekend once again. Down here in Brighton we'll be downing tools, donning our most brightly-coloured outfits and celebrating Pride, but hopefully even if you don't have a technicolour extravaganza to attend you'll find a way to enjoy what appears to be the last weekend of summer. Grab yourself a coffee and have a read!

Miller recalled from Hartford
The Rangers have recalled forward J.T. Miller from Hartford (AHL) this afternoon, almost certainly to be in the lineup Thursday against the Blackhawks as the team resumes the NHL season put on hold for the Olympics.
Earlier in the day, coach Alain Vigneault said recalling a forward from the Wolf Pack was a possibility despite Derek Dorsett's apparent readiness to return to the lineup for the first time since breaking his left fibula at Pittsburgh on Jan. 3.
Mats Zuccarello, the team's leading scorer with 15 goals and 28 assists for a career high 43 points, had been on a line with center Derick Brassard and Benoit Pouliot that had displayed really good chemistry with all three very strong skaters.
The 20-year-old Miller, the 15th overall pick in the 2011 draft, gives the Rangers a little more line flexibility than the rugged Dorsett, who plays a hard game but doesn't necessarily have the offensive potential that Miller does. However, if Vigneault chooses to keep his other three lines intact - Derek Stepan centering Chris Kreider and Rick Nash, Brad Richards in between Ryan Callahan (barring a trade) and Carl Hagelin and Dominic Moore's fourth line with Brian Boyle and Dan Carcillo - Miller could fit into Zuccarello's spot easier.
By the way, here's my column today from The Record on why the team should not trade Dan Girardi.
Miller had three goals and 14 assists in 18 games for Hartford since being sent down on Jan. 11. Overall, in 26 games for the Wolf Pack this season, Miller has 10 goals and 16 assists and was selected as an AHL All-Star.
However, it's obviously been more of a struggle for him at the NHL level, certainly defensively. He has to goals and two assists in 25 games for the Rangers this season.

Too many knee-jerk reactions will do more harm than good.
While The Journal News' lohud.com, which ran an article and an interactive map of the homes and names of handgun owners in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties, is still getting flak for their lack of journalism ethics, many liberals are in high gear on their march towards tighter gun restrictions.
Now you read it here first. In my column about The Journal News' running an interactive map that features the names and addresses of handgun owners in those New York counties, I wrote that it would give criminals all the information they need to take a nice bus ride and do a little five-finger discount shopping at someone's home.
And according to Jana Winter's story on FOX News, I wasn't too far off the mark.
"They just created an opportunity for some crimes to be committed and I think it's exceptionally stupid," said Bob Portenier, 65, a former burglar and armed house robber turned crime prevention consultant.
On the flipside Walter T. Shaw, a 65-year-old former burglar and jewel thief, told Winter that it would be easy for someone to skip the house of the gun owner and hit the one next to it where the neighbor doesn't possess a firearm.
Wow, not only did The Journal News put gun owners by publishing their information in danger but also their non-gun owning friends and family. Oops.
But apparently The Journal News operates under the theme of "Do what we say and not what we do" because they hired armed guards. You see, the newspaper's Publisher and President Janet Hasson said the newspaper received threats when she announced that the publication was planning on releasing the same information about Putnam County's handgun owners.
"The safety of my staff is my top priority," Hasson told The New York Times when asked why she had armed guards at the newspaper's two offices.
But wait, it gets better. Hasson refused to tell the Gray Lady how many armed guards or what type of guns they have. So it's OK for her to have armed guards to protect her staff and not give up any information, but no one else can enjoy those same rights of protection? Hypocrisy at its best. And a disgusting display of it too.
And to the gun owners who are allegedly making these threats, please knock it off. Stop being idiots. You're only hurting yourselves and giving Hasson more ammo for her campaign.
I've been a journalist for newspapers and magazines for years and I know what it's like to run information that can have a huge impact on people's lives and the community at large.
But doing what The Journal News did is irresponsible journalism. I saw no rational reason why they did it except maybe to create some controversy after the tragic shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
However, if there was a real public service about running this information then I could get behind it. For example, if they ran a similar map that showed handgun owners who received their permits because of backroom deals made with local politicians, then I can see the need for it. (And in all fairness I believe I read this example somewhere online, but sadly I forget who mentioned it. I believe it was a journalism ethics professor.)
Sadly because of the Sandy Hook shootings that left 26 dead there have been many knee-jerk reactions made by some liberals and Democrats.
At the moment, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo apparently wants to propose today a strict ban on assault weapons, reported The New York Times.
And if you see my last column, you will find examples of why any type of bans do more harm than good.
What we need is to stop the witch hunt on legal gun owners. Not all of them are crazy and believe it or not many of them have used their firearms to not only protect themselves but others as well.
We have some good laws on the books and let's find ways to better protect others, but to not restrict the Second Amendment rights of good, honest Americans.
Because as I told Becket Adams of The Blaze on Twitter recently, going after law-biding gun owners is like blaming senior citizens because some idiot overdosed on prescription medication.

can you tell me what type of rasbora this is
2 Attachment(s)
can you please identify this fish
It's the very rare, Buenos Aires Tetra Rasbora.
/ Seriously. Not a rasbora. A Buenos Aires Tetra.
^ seriously a very serious fish alright. Is it causing all kinds of trouble
I can't make the pic out so i'm taking tophats word for it.
The black bar on the caudal peduncle and the reddish tail fins are diagnostic.
In the right tank, that's a great fish. In the wrong tank, which includes almost every community aquarium you're likely to want, that fish is a terror. What do you have him in with?
Sure it's not a Rosy Barb (Barbus conchonius)?
Positive. That black line at the back rules it out, and the shape is spot on for a BA Tetra.
i compared with a BA Tetra they are simular but they have white tips on all their fins. their whole body is orange and around the place line is yellow not a red/orange. the pic isn't that great so you don't see this. they were in my 50 gal that has black skirts and lemon tetras, 2 blue white tipped rainbows a bichir eel and a BGK. but i moved them to my betta tank which has 3 female bettas and 3 cories, and some ghost shrimp
Very well, I still think you have a tetra rather than a rasbora. I suppose you might have one of the varieties of gold tetras (Hemigrammus rodwayi):
Or Head and Tail Light Tetra (Hemigrammus ocellifer)
I don't think it's any of the fish that mimic Corydoras hastatus. If it were, it were most likely the Paraguary White-Tip (Aphyocharax paraguayensis - no adipose fin) or Dawn Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eos)
the closest is the head and tail light tetra although mine are alot more orange thank for all your help
Thats a Buenos Aires, we sell them at the pet store I work at.
