Star Tribune financial backers and handlers are top John McCain campaign contributors
In the course ofposing a question
to John McCain in the new issue ofNewsweek
, George Will reminds us of some connections between McCain's benefactors and the Star Tribune's:
You say "some greedy people" on Wall Street "perhaps need to be punished." So, government should treat greed as a crime—as punishable? What other departures from virtue deserve punishment? How do you distinguish between greed and the socially useful pursuit of personal gain? Your top 20 contributors include this dozen: Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, Bank of New York Mellon, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia Group, Bridgewater Associates, Blackstone Group and Bear Stearns. Are any contributions from these financial institutions so tainted by greed that you are returning them?
Notice any familar names in there? Yes, Credit Suisse is a lender to the Strib and could take over in the event of bankruptcy, though Publisher Chris Harte recently said, ""Credit Suisse and the other lenders absolutely do not want to run the newspaper." And the Blackstone Group is the cost-cutting company that's currently running the show.
Although there are some donors that cross over and are also among Obama's top contributors, Credit Suisse and Blackstone Group are not among them.
Which makes one wonder how this might affect the Star Tribune's coverage of the upcoming presidential race. I'm sure Editor Nancy Barnes would argue, "not at all," but when the bosses are cutting the newsroom by 10%, do you really want to get on their bad side?
Here is the list of McCain's top contributions. I've highlighted the two that are also neck deep in the Strib's finances:
Merrill Lynch $226,550
Blank Rome LLP $222,050
Citigroup Inc $206,102
Greenberg Traurig LLP $173,837
AT&T Inc $149,305
Goldman Sachs $128,770
Morgan Stanley $124,951
JPMorgan Chase & Co $123,450
Credit Suisse Group $115,625
Lehman Brothers $98,400
Univision Communications $87,000
Bank of New York Mellon $86,500
Blackstone Group $86,350
IDT Corp $84,850
Wachovia Corp $84,050

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Multiple officials at Connecticut say the school has not committed to staying in the Big East Conference and continues to look at other conference options.
The officials, who asked that their names not be used because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations, denied that Connecticut and Rutgers agreed to stay in the conference during a three-hour meeting among Big East football members on Monday.
Commissioner John Marianatto emerged from that meeting to say that all the members had "pledged to each other that they are committed to move forward together."
Connecticut President Susan Herbst issued a statement Tuesday thanking fans for their patience and reiterated that the school "will always do what is in the best interests for the University of Connecticut."

ADF = automatic DF, like your basic doppler set does to find that @#$%@#$% fox....
DF-Diamond Frame. Well, that's the one thing I learned new for today. Met my quota. ;)
I'm vaguely familiar with RDF. We used to use it for navigation when we went off-shore, fishing. This was back before LORAN A. Does that date me? ;)
Radio Direction Finder? In aviation we used ADFs (automatic direction finders) which would basically lock onto an NDB (non-directional beacon)... essentially any omni-directional AM transmitter including radio station towers. The NDBs used were fixed and marked on maps. A lot of times one would use the approach marker beacons... usually the LOM (locator outer marker). The ADF was a very complicated and expensive piece of hardware mainly because of the mechanics and installation. It was big and heavy too. The nice thing about ADF/NDBs is that the technology and principles of operation are fairly robust. However, the skills required to execute an NDB approach were fairly tough to master and one of the most dreaded things during IFR training... especially if one had to do it with a non-slaved CDI/HSI (course deviation indicator/horizontal situation indicator) because you have to cross reference across two different instrument displays to determine your radial position. The ADF is used along with a DME (distance measuring equipment) to determine your location from the beacon. Another benefit of ADF/DME equipment is for use in SAR operations to locate ELTs (emergency locator transmitters).Quote:

The RDF we had worked like the ADF you describe, Khuon, except everything was manual. The base of the unit had to be oriented to north, then rotate a knob to align the directional antennae with the signal you wanted to pick up, an indictator needle aligned with the antennae pointed out the direction to the signal on a compass rose printed on the base of the unit. Plot this azimuth on a chart then do it all again with a different signal. Where the two lines crossed was our location. Funny how cutting-edge stuff back then sounds pretty crude now, but remember, this was back when a computer took up an entire large room and a thing that was to be called a PC was still quite a few years away. Heck, there were even real Hippies still around back then. ;)
We kept using this unit through the LORAN A years and later switched to LORAN C. After loosing the boat to a hurricane many years ago, and later Grandpa to cancer, none of us fish offshore anymore. These days my Dad, brothers and I pretty much stick to inshore and freshwater and like everybody else, we use GPS.
Don't know whatever happened to that old RDF unit. Wish I still had it.
ADF's been around a long time, the Japanese planes that bombed Pearl Harbor used radio station KGMB in Honolulu as a signal to DF coming in.......
check out "radiosport" it's a modern, fun "sport" where you use a directional VHF antenna to DF and find a "fox" or hidden transmitter.
It's good to know not all DF riders have a stick up their _ _ _ _!
You might be surprised to find that many things in aviation are actually quite old and "antiquated" technology. For instance, many light aircraft engines are basically a high-powered equivalents of lawn mower engines. Fuel injection? Electronic ignition? Not in those Cessna 172s flying out of PAO. We're talking good old carbs and magnetos. The advantage however is that if you have a total electrical system failure, the engine will continue to run.Quote:

Nice place with wide beer choice. They not do flights unfortunately.
stevoj (229) Boise, Idaho | February 9, 2016
Neighborhood vibe, but then presented with wall of taps. Too many seasonals for even the website to keep track of. Nice selection of locals and sought after East Coast brews. Keep trying to focus on Texas....
Mrdthompson (3) Texas | December 27, 2015
Loooove this place. Bring your lawn chairs and hang in the parking lot. Legit!
theisti (730) Kansas | December 11, 2015
Visited after dinner on a Monday. Long narrow bar, against an alley in Central Austin. Parking looks like it would be a pain, though I was on foot. Place is little run down looking, and there was a bit of an off odor. 60 or so taps, with a nice selection of national, local and import craft. The beer menu was annoying, as many of the breweries were listed as varies or seasonal. When I asked the bartender what seasonals were on, he basically said its December, so winter warmer kind of things. Not real helpful. Maybe they have a chalkboard or something, that would have been nice. I sat at the long and had a flat bread. Overall, felt like a place that used to be great but really isnt at the top of the game anymore.
76 = ★★★ (Worth the visit, must for locals, and visitors with time)
I only use the total score, not the component parts.
Art (129) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | September 15, 2015
Aye here after watching "the bats." Ambiance is like an old English pub but with a bunch of beers on tap. I sat at the end of the bar and couldnt see the list. I asked the bartender for local recommendations and he killed it. I got the French dip, it was a bit small but delicious. Prices seem a tad on the high side but still a worthile stop if in Austin.

Great rustic sort of ambience, Tons of options of decently priced beer, friendly staff.
NachlamSie (700) Denver, Colorado | December 16, 2014
Ginger Man reminds me something of the Brick Store in Georgia, in that perhaps it pioneered the craft beer bar scene a few years ago but has perhaps been surpassed in focus by newer competition. I dont mean to say anything negative about the Ginger Man, the beer selection is fantastic. There are more than enough options, but there are a few taps of things like Stella or Miller LIght that beer snobs just wouldnt drink. The ambiance is cozy and warm. The bartenders were great, helpful and knowledgeable. If I lived here, Id be back whenever I was on this end of town.
BMan1113VR (422) Los Angeles, California | April 5, 2014
Downtown Austin. A very big gingerman with outdoor patio. What seems usual for TX gingermans: an out of date beer list. Plenty of taps, bored service. Even for someone who lives in CA: not many ticks. Decent, but there are other stops downtown Id rather revisit.
orangesol (159) Pennsylvania | March 11, 2014
Made a quick stop downtown on my way to Rainey Street to check out the Ginger Man. Atmosphere was pretty solid, only a few people inside at the bar while the rest were out back enjoying the nice weather. Quality was pretty high, nice building inside and out and the beers were all served in correct glasses. Service was good, had to wait a bit for my bill but they were just starting an event and it was becoming a bit hectic. Selection was pretty good, beers from all over the world as well as plenty from TX. Prices were on par with all of the other bars I visited in the area. Overall an awesome beer bar in the heart of the city, I would definitely return if I am ever in the area again.

How to Shop with Style without Killing the Credit Card
Everyday something new comes to the market: fashion clothes, crazy knee high socks, straw beach bags, gadgets and unending gift ideas for girls. Fashion, for instance, changes regularly. You see artist and models wearing new clothes in magazines and TVs every day. What could be beautiful now could be totally off by the next month. And yet, we ladies can't help but shop for these things. However, as we crazily pursue for the newest trend, we might end up chasing out our credit cards. Here are some things we could do to stay fashionably beautiful and still go home with a happy wallet.
Apply for a Secured Credit Card
Using a credit card is tempting when you know that your credit limit is high. Unfortunately, some of us may not notice that our spending is already reaching more than what we could afford to pay. That is why using a secured credit card could be of great help to get back on track. These cards function just like a debit card where you have to deposit first before spending. The difference is that it sends a credit report to the "major credit bureaus", like a normal credit card would. Thus, you get to rebuild your credit record. Now that's a triple hit!
- You control your spending
- You restore your credit reputation, and
- You get to shop! But more wisely this time.
Keep on saving
Accept the fact that you are not as capable of buying too much. Stop the impulse buying. Even if your ultimate favorite boutique is on sale, don't just put on your shoes and go running for that designer clothe. Try to check cheaper items. Looking gorgeous need not be too expensive. Besides, you wouldn't want to just look glamorous in front of your friends when you know that you can't even buy yourself a drink, right?
Make sure to allot a portion of your income to your savings. Spend only on things that are essential to your daily living. Know "how to budget". If you can't help but buy clothes, try visiting a thrift store. Some outfit there are worth checking for. Or you could probably scavenge your closet for something that you can remake. There are lots of ways to save. Just be dedicated about it. As of now may you still can't spend too much on luxury, but maybe in the future, you can start buying what you want again. By then, I do hope you don't go back to old habits.
If you finally get the hang of saving instead of shopping, you could put your money to better use. Save for a business, for your insurance, or for retirement. Find a financial adviser to help you decide on that. Remember that the money you save now will take you a long way tomorrow.
Your Own Designer Style
Let's say your outfit before, from the top of your hair to the tip of your toe, is full package designer clothes. Now, try settling for one designer piece, and match it with some inexpensive attire. Designer clothes are definitely beautiful, and pairing it with non-designer ones will not make it any less gorgeous. It will shine anyhow. So, try on your previously brought set of accessory with a dress from the discount section. Be creative. You would still be stunning for sure.
Or better yet, why not learn to make your own outfit? The cost of buying the materials will surely be lower than a ready-made clothes. Try practicing doing stitches during your free time. It might also keep you busy enough to forget the urge of heading to the mall.
When you made it out successfully, reward yourself a little. Set a certain amount as your savings goal. And when you reach it, get yourself one designer clothes, shoes or bag. Make this a motivation. Just see to it that you don't use the whole savings you kept.
That's it!
Start working yourself back to the financially stable you.

New Year's Eve Party for Kids
Children love the idea of celebrating on New Year's Eve, but most are just too young to stay awake until midnight. Why not let them celebrate earlier in the day with a smaller version of the traditional party? Here's our guide to a fun and easy New Year's Eve celebration just for kids!
Planning & Invitations
What Do I Need For the Party?
In addition to basic party supplies, like plates, cups, napkins and decorations, you may want to consider purchasing, borrowing or renting the following items for your New Year's Eve party:
- Party hats
- Noise makers
- Wine glasses and sparkling apple juice
- Party music
- A disco ball
- A pinata
Creative invitations build excitement and can increase attendance at your child's New Year's Eve party. If you have time to make your own, be sure to involve your child in choosing the design and filling in the details. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Fold a square of black construction paper in half, and write "Let's ring in [year] together!" on the front using a silver marker or gel pen. Write the party details inside and decorate open areas with squiggles of glitter glue to look like streamers and confetti.
- Cut out a circle from card stock and cover it with metallic craft paper or foil. Cut out black numbers (or purchase pre-cut numbers from the craft store) to spell out the upcoming year and paste them on the front. Cut a circle of black construction paper the same size as your invitation and glue it to the back. Write your party details on the back.
- Cut a circle out of card stock and draw a clock on the front with its hands marking 12:00. Write your party details on the back.
- Punch a hole in the corner of a card-style invitation and use ribbon to tie on a party popper. Mail these in padded envelopes and sprinkle glitter inside before sealing.
If you would rather not make your own invitations, let us print personalized invitations for you, which include all the party details on a themed background of your choice.
Countdown to the New Year!
Plan to start your party at 10:30 a.m. and have the children countdown to noon instead of midnight! Here are some ideas for making the countdown just as memorable as the real thing:
- About ten minutes before noon, have all the kids choose a hat and noisemaker, and start a countdown timer.
- Lower a ball-shaped pinata painted silver to resemble the ball in New York City. Once you hit 12:00, break open the pinata, and divide the candy among your guests.
- Drop air-filled silver and gold balloons over the children as they shout "Happy New Year!"
- Play the song "Auld Lang Syne" as the children celebrate.
Decorating & Food Ideas
- Gather all your clocks, and set them around the party area.
- If you still have a Christmas tree set up, hang party hats and noisemakers from the branches. If you don't have a tree, scatter them around a small table.
- Make or purchase a banner that says "Happy New Year!" and hang it prominently. Take a look at our personalized banners for inspiration.
- Hang streamers from the middle of the ceiling and drape them out to the corners of the room. Attach three balloons in the center of your "canopy".
- Create a dance floor on hardwood floors and hang a disco ball above the center of the area.
- Place disposable cameras on the party table and let the guests take pictures during the party.
- Hang a chalkboard, or large poster board to a wall where people can write their New Year's resolutions.
- Pass out confetti to your guests to throw when the New Year (or pretend New Year) begins.
- Offer a buffet of kid-friendly foods, such as chicken tenders, pizza slices or pizza bagels, veggies and dip, and sliced fruit.
- Serve juice or ginger ale in plastic champagne glasses.
- Make s'mores. If you don't have a fireplace or outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows in the traditional fashion, use the microwave. Place a graham cracker topped with a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow in the microwave. Heat for 8-15 seconds or until the marshmallow begins to puff up. Take it out, top it with another graham cracker and serve!
- Set out a plate of crackers and cheese squares cut into star shapes.
- Make a popcorn bar where your guests can add toppings to their popcorn. Popular toppings include chocolate sauce, cinnamon & sugar, sprinkles, cheddar cheese powder, and butter. Serve the popcorn in traditional popcorn bags.
- Serve a star cake pan and write "Happy New Year!" on top in icing.
Party Favor Ideas
Thank your guests for attending your child's New Year's Eve party by combining fun favors such as:
- Sticker books
- Star-shaped cookie cutters
- Fun-shaped lollipops
- A complete favor set
- Personalized party favors.

Reality Training: Suspect pulls butcher knife at traffic stop
Action may beat reaction 99.99 percent of the time, but Clarendon County Deputy Danny Graham may well represent that remaining 0.01 percent
Every so often, we see a video that shows us how amazingly fast reaction time can be.
A great deal of police training is based on the scientific study of human performance as it relates to time. Many police trainers — most, it seems — talk in some form or another about "action always beating reaction" time, and 99.99 percent of the time, this philosophy of "gunfight speed" may be right.
Clarendon County Deputy Danny Graham may well represent that remaining 0.01 percent. Deputy Graham had just issued a traffic citation to a motorist when Anthony Pearson approached the scene of the traffic stop, pulled out a butcher knife from concealment beneath an umbrella, and lunged at the LEO.
Deputy Graham quickly drew, moved, and shot the assailant. Following the incident, Sheriff Randy Garrett moved quickly to release the dash-cam video below, saying "It's a justified shoot in my book. He's clear."
Watch the incident unfold, and use the questions below for further discussion.
In light of Deputy Graham's performance, we can ask some questions about what enabled him to do such a great job that day in August.
• What pre-attack indicators did the assailant demonstrate prior to attack?
• What dangers — other than the assailant — are present at this scene?
• What training/drills do you think played into Deputy Graham's success?
• What do you think you might have done differently if put in a similar situation?
• Graham was offered the day off after the shooting, but he declined. Should time off after an OIS be suggested or mandatory?

I love this!
Far too cool. Now we just need a steam-powered dirigible on which to cruise over Main Street, blasting our tunes …
From Marthe Lépine: Ivan, your mention of "dirigible" brings to mind a TV commercial I used to see a long time ago when I still occasionally watched TV: Some company making car tires was showing a small dirigible floating behind a car, with a caption that said something like "The Blimp is Watching You"… Sounds familiar?
It doesn't, but Goodyear commonly used a blimp, perhaps it's them?

Great shoes!
I bought these shoes for my wife and she loved them. First day out, we did some light hiking and they were very comfortable for her. They are very stylish as well and we expect to get good life out of these shoes since they are Keen's as well.
KEEN Harvest MJ Shoe - Women's
Cute shoes but tight
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I ordered these shoes for my wife. They're really cute but the top is very tight on her feet. She hopes this will get better overtime - which is why I give these shoes only 3 stars.
Love the shoes
I have the Keen Harvest MJ shoes in most of the colors available and just ordered two more pair. They are so cute and the Polka Dot is my new favorite. I wear an 8.5 and have a high instep - the 8.5 is a perfect fit.
Highly recommend
These shoes are so comfy and cute! great styling and very well crafted, just make sure you buy a size or at least 1/2 size smaller than normal 'cause they are wide and run quite large.
I bought these as a gift for our babysitter. She loves them. Seem to run true to size. And they are as cute as they look in the picture. Also think they will work well with almost any solid color.
Ordering a pair now!
Buy a size down
These shoes are very cute but they are MUCH bigger than a different style of Keen shoes that I have. Since the stra can't be adjusted, they are quite sloppy.
Holy Cow!! Super Cute!!
I love these shoes. I'm thinking I want another pair in a different color because they are so fun. As others have stated, I did go with a 1/2 size smaller and they fit great. I'm having hip surgery in June and needed to find cute, comfy shoes that I could wear while on crutches and go in public without look like a goof. These are exactly what I was looking for.
Love these shoes!!!
Before buying this shoe I read the reviews, some said that the shoe was not as pictured. Mine was exactly as pictured. The shoe fits as others have mentioned, the only thing I would say is worth mentioning is the strap over your foot is not velcro, but stays in place so if you have narrow feet it may cause the shoe to feel a little loose. My feet are not narrow, but average size and when I put the shoe on for the first time it felt a little loose and took some getting used to. The shoes overall are comfortable, have a decent arch support and good for general use. I have worn them in the rain and stayed dry walking through small puddles and on mildly muddy trails without getting the material dirty. The rubber toe is fantastic for keeping me dry and clean. I get compliments where ever I go in these and overall I just love to wear them!!
Your Mom will love these too.
i got these for my mom, and she loves them. the strap hurt her foot at first, but now it is no problem. and now she looks even more adorable than ever. order a half size down, as they run wide in the heel cup and a little big.
Cute shoe, size not right
I would have kept these and even tried to walk around the house with them because they were so cute. But alas, the 10 was a tad too short and WIDE! :(
Love them!
Cute, comfortable, unique! The only problem I have is some tightness in the strap, ut I do have a very tall "rise of the foot" and it's still OK. Go KEEN!!!

P.S.: Ordered 8.5, which I always order in Keen and they were just right. No problem with sizing!
These actually have white trim.
Keen Harvest Mary Jane Shoe - Women's
great shoes...I love the colors & they are very confortable to run around in or walk the dogs. I think they'll last a long time because they are made pretty tough. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than I usually take & they fit just a tad loose but work fine. I would definately buy these shoes again.
I have read these comments and they were very helpful. I will keep the fact that they run big in mind when ordering them!
Comfy shoe - sizes runs big
Should have followed reviewer advice and ordered a half-size smaller. Thankfully the return was pain free (thanks, backcountry). I too was disappointed to see the shoe in white - and not blue like pictured. A super comfy shoe. Pleased with purchase
Remember: each pair is unique!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So I must say I love these shoes-super comfy and they fit me perfectly. I sized down half a size and I have pretty wide feet so keep that in mind. Other than that, my pair doesn't look a whole lot like the photo. The trim is white and my pair is almost entirely blue, white and grey (no green or red or anything bright). I still love them and people think they are so awesome. Another plus is the recycled rice bags they are made out of.
UPDATE: Had these for a few years and worn them a ton. You can barely tell! They will probably last 10 more years since they are so sturdy.
Shoes are WHITE - not blue as pictured
order a 1/2 smaller than what you normally wear. Love the shoes, just disappointed that they pictured them in blue, promised me I'd get blue, and sent me white. Blue is no longer available :(
I have these shoes in the camo and I found that the plaid print was much darker than I expected as well which was a tad disappointing at first, but had grown on me. Also the strap is the opposite from what is pictured, the elastic portion is on the outside, not the inside which is unflattering as well.
Funky sizing
I have been waiting since last spring for a pair of these shoes. My normal shoe size is 9, but 8.5 in Keen. After reading reviews, I decided to try a size 8. They were way too tight, I could barely even get my foot in the shoe. I then got a pair of 8.5's. They are too big. There is too much space in the heel and they are too deep (as other reviewers said). They might be ok with socks but who wants to wear socks with them? I think they are too cute to return so I'm going to try to find some insoles.
how do you wash the Keen shoes? i have...
how do you wash the Keen shoes? i have this in the plaid, but its starting to show dirt....thanks!
If it is just on the surface, use a soft dry cloth and brush it off, avoid getting them wet and creating mud. If the dirt has already started to stain them (and it's not southern red dirt), you can use a mild detergent, warm water and a soft bristle brush.
Are the sizes in men's or women's?

My feet are pretty wide with a high arch, would this shoe work for me? I already own one pair of keen shoes that are size 8, so should I get the same size?
I have very high arches and my foot is fairly wide as well and this shoe fits great. The arch could be higher without a problem for me, however I think it is decent compared to how other similar shoes are. They do rub a bit on the heal initially, but nothing a few band-aids for a while won't cure!
Write your question here...does this shoe...

They are very wide and slip in the heel. I would say they run at least a half size too big from the normal Keen fit. They are really cute!

It is in fact white so currently the photo is wrong. It will be updated shortly to show the correct colorway.

And now, the downside of doggy DNA tests
The board of a ritzy Manhattan co-op is requiring some residents undergo testing of their blood and spit to determine if they are pure enough — and of the proper type — to live there.
As of last month, dog owners living in the luxury tower at 170 West End Avenue must have their veterinarian sign off on the canine's pedigree and, if the pet is a mix, detail the percentage of each breed, according to DNAInfo.com
The policy is designed to purge the building of any pedigrees the board deems troublesome.
And the board deems many breeds troublesome — 27 in all, including the Pomeranian and the Maltese.
Residents were informed of the new policy a few months ago.
The board policy says the 27 breeeds were chosen based on "documented information regarding their tendency towards aggressiveness."
In the case of mixed breed dogs, the co-op board is requiring owners to have their pet undergo a DNA test. If the test shows a dog to be made up of more than 50 percent of one of the outlawed breeds, it will have to leave the building.
Initially, they wanted to require mandatory DNA testing of all dogs, but they amended the policy to require the testing "at the board's discretion."
The latest version of the policy, issued on May 26, says that if a dog's breed is unknown "the board at its sole discretion may require a resident to perform DNA testing."
The 484-unit, 42-story cooperative is one of eight buildings that comprise Lincoln Towers, a 20-acre property near Lincoln Center managed by FirstService Residential. Each building has its own co-op board and makes its own policies.
The board policy also requires that residents register their dog and provide a mugshot of the canine.
The list of banned breeds includes St. Bernards and German shepherds, pit bulls, basset hounds — and even the tiny shih tzu.
"It's like dog racism essentially," one resident said of the new policy. "It's beyond offensive, it's intrusive."

Does pinpointing breeds speed up adoption?
In hopes that potential adopters will find a "Chiratoodle" or a "golden Chinscher" more appealing than a plain old mutt or "Chihuahua mix," an animal shelter in California has begun DNA testing some of its dogs to determine their breeds and market them under more exotic names.
The Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA in Burlingame, south of San Francisco, says initial results show the DNA tested dogs are getting adopted twice as fast.
Not too surprising in a world that prefers labels over mysteries — at least when it comes to what we bring into our homes.
DNA testing is not widely practiced by America's animal shelters, mainly because of its expense. As a result, most people who adopt a dog from a shelter leave with a mystery mutt, or one whose heritage has been guessed at by shelter staff.
My dog Ace, for instance, when he was adopted nearly 10 years ago, was listed as a "hound mix" on his shelter paperwork, referred to as a "shepherd mix" by shelter staff and listed on Petfinder.com as a "Labrador mix."
When DNA tests came on the market in 2007, I purchased one, swabbed his cheek and learned he was Rottweiler and Chow. In the next few years, as the tests became capable of identifying more than the original 38 breeds, I tested him two more times. The second test determined he was Rottweiler, Chow and Akita. The third test showed him to be all of those, and a little bit pit bull.
The tests allowed me to answer the question I was asked at least once a day: "What kind of dog is that?" It wasn't so much that I had to know. All three tests were done mostly as research, for the purpose of writing about them. And once I learned the breeds he was made up of, I kind of missed the mystery.
I don't think the information is all that vital, but I can understand how a purchaser, or adopter, of a dog might like to know what's in his or her mix.
In California, the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA conducted the tests in an attempt to increase the adoptions of Chihuahua mixes, which make up nearly a quarter the dogs in its shelter.
The campaign, conducted under the slogan "Who's Your Daddy?" is aimed at "finding great homes for dogs at risk of being overlooked," said Scott Delucchi, the shelter's senior vice president.
"People love mutts. Still, we're betting shelter dogs with DNA results included, for free, will be quite fetching," he says in a commercial for the campaign.
The shelter picks up the cost of the $50 tests, which they say can help owners identify what breed-specific traits the dogs might exhibit. The tests also allow the shelter to have some fun coming up with clever breed names — like "Chorgi" (Chiuahua-corgi), "golden Chinscher" (golden retriever-miniature pinscher-Chihuahua) and "Chiratoodle" (Chihuahua-rat terrier-poodle).
In February, the shelter conducted tests that determined the breed make up of 11 small dogs. All found homes within two weeks — twice as fast as any 11 untested small, brown dogs in the previous months, according to an Associated Press story.
Twelve more dogs have been tested since then and once they are all placed in homes the shelter plans to test 24 more.
Chihuahuas have replaced pit bulls as the most prevalent breed in the shelter, largely due to the "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" movies, and the breed's popularity among celebrities.
While some visitors to the shelter are seeking Chihuahuas, others are looking for mutts — small dogs who, thanks to another breed being in the mix, might have a less nervous dispositions.
While shelter officials have proclaimed the new program a success, they note that it's going to take more than a gimmick to reduce the "alarming" number of Chihuahua mixes coming in.
"Another part is making spay-neuter low-cost or free to the community," Delucchi said. The shelter also exports some of its smaller dogs to shelters in Florida, New York and other states where they are in shorter supply.

Do we really need a "war" against dog poop?
In the annals of Gotham's crimefighting superheroes, Abby Weissman might not go down as one of the all-time greatest.
But at least he will be noted for capturing a dog pooping on camera and, far more important, that doggie's caretaker not picking it up.
Faster than a speeding bullet, he posted it on Facebook:
In the post, Weissman fires a first blow in his quest for justice, and calls upon others to join in fighting the scourge of canine caretakers who don't pick up after their charges — by submitting photos and videos of scofflaws caught in the act to his block association's Facebook page.
Weissman is president of the South Oxford Street Block Association in New York's Fort Greene neighborhood.
The association started a "Dog Walkers Hall of Shame" campaign July 30, after his home security camera captured a dog walker, busy with her cell phone, walking away from the mess the dog had just deposited on the sidewalk in front of his house.
Weissman hopes a little public humiliation will be more effective than the seldom enforced "pooper scooper" law, and its $250 fines.
Since 2013, 63 "pooper scooper" violations have been issued in Brooklyn, DNAInfo reports. An officer must witness the incident to issue a summons, according to the Department of Sanitation.
Weissman, like any good superhero, seemed to take a great deal of pride in catching the scofflaw, at least on video. "We always wanted a photo or video or someone actually letting their dog shit and purposefully leaving it there. Here it is, thanks to Dropcam."
I'm all for owners taking responsibility for what their dogs drop, and all for laws enforcing that. And I'm fine with fines.
I'm just not so sure we have to view it all in terms of a "war," and I question whether all the high tech weapons being seized upon — like hidden cameras, and sending dog poop to laboratories to see if its DNA can be matched to a particular dog — are a bit of an over-reaction, better used on terrorists than people who don't pick up dog poop.
I have a problem with public "shaming," too — whether it's being used on deadbeat dads, the customers of prostitutes, or those who fail to pick up dog waste. It reminds me of those stocks and pillories we used to punish wrongdoers in colonial times. I'd like to think we've become a little more civilized since then. And I'd like to think we're smart enough to realize people who engage in shameful behavior often don't have a huge sense of shame in the first place.
Most of all I'm puzzled about how we let something with such a simple solution become so huge, and gobble up so much time, money and technology. How much is being wasted sending dog waste through the mail for analysis in laboratories? How many hours did Weissman spend watching video to pinpoint the culprit who pooped in front of his house?
Sometimes I think our species is prone to escalating anything that can possibly escalated.
Perhaps a psychologist could explain that to me.
In the meantime, can't we all just pick it up?

Surviving Butte: The story of The Auditor
Once upon a time in Butte, in a huge and barren expanse of waste that's part of the nation's largest Superfund site, there lived a dog.
Nobody knows how he got there, why he stayed, or how he managed to remain alive in the toxic confines of what's known as the Berkeley Pit. But live he did, for 17 years — during times of active mining, during its suspension, during its limited restart, during the ongoing clean-up effort and right up until the pit transitioned into one of the country's oddest tourist attractions.
He just showed up, back in 1986. Once miners figured out that the ghostly white image in the distance was a dog, they named him "The Auditor," because of his tendency to appear when he was least expected.
With matted ropes of white hair covering his legs, The Auditor — a Puli — sometimes appeared to be hovering when he moved, and he seemed to want nothing to do with humans. The miners would leave him food, and build him a house, and even started sticking baby aspirin in his food when they noticed he was limping, but The Auditor was mostly unapproachable up until the end.
He died peacefully in his dog house in 2003, but The Auditor — like mining — would leave a legacy. His name would live on — in statues, in science, and as a symbol for, well, lots of things.
Appropriately enough, for a mining site in the midst of a massive EPA clean-up that will continue for generations, The Auditor had a coat like a mop.
His yellowing dreadlocks covered his eyes, too, limiting his vision — similar to the blind eye Montana once turned to the environmental havoc mining would wreak on and beneath its landscape.
But perhaps more than anything else, the mysterious white dog became a metaphor for Butte, and its ability to survive hard times — of the hardy stuff of which Montanans are made.
Butte's still kicking — though not the way it once kicked. It's about a third of the size it was in its heyday. Once called the "Richest Hill on Earth" for its massive copper deposits, Butte in the early 1900s, boasted a population of 100,000.
When the mines shut down by 1982, Butte was left economically crippled and environmentally contaminated. Piles of mine waste and years of smoke from smelters contaminated the land and water around Butte with arsenic, mercury, lead and other metals.
In the 1980s, the Berkeley Pit and Butte's historic Uptown District were declared a Superfund site — one that extends 130 miles downstream due to tailings that settled along the Clark Fork River.
The Auditor lingers too. After the local newspaper brought him to the public's attention in 2003, a campaign began to honor him with a series of statues, three of which now sit in various locations around town, honoring him not for any heroics, but solely for staying alive in a place where not much does.
Berkeley Pit lies just a few blocks from the center of Butte. It stretches a mile-and-a-half across and is almost 2,000 feet deep. Barren soil surrounds a lake laden with heavy metals. In 1995, a flock of migrating geese landed in the water. The next morning 342 were found dead.
How The Auditor managed to survive all that time is as mysterious as the dog himself. Maybe his rope-like locks, instead of soaking in the toxins, kept them from reaching his skin. Maybe the toxins weren't as toxic as thought. Maybe, as dogs do, he adapted to them. The only company still in operation at the site — after mourning his loss — had The Auditor cremated.
Normally, that would slam the door shut on the mystery — but Holly Peterson already had her foot in it.
Peterson, an environmental engineer at Montana Tech in Butte, saw the article about The Auditor — 16 years old by then — in 2003. It tugged at her heartstrings as well as her scientific curiosity.
"How can that not touch you?" she said over the weekend, sitting in her office, which is decorated with photos of The Auditor. "I kept wondering, how can that thing survive? With all the contamination in Butte, I started thinking, how can we study that in a different way?"
With her students, she began getting samples of hair from dogs in Butte and the surrounding areas, and when she ran into an official from the mining company, Montana Resources, at a presentation, she asked about getting a sample from The Auditor.
The Auditor was first seen roaming the mine in 1986, the year Montana Resources started its operations. The company, due to plunging copper prices, shut down operations there in 2000, leaving only a skelton crew, but reopened in 2003.
After getting permission from the company, Peterson went to the site, where a mining company employee, wearing gloves, approached The Auditor, on his last legs by then, and snipped off a few locks of hair.
"You could tell he just wanted us to leave him alone," Peterson said.
Tests on the sample in July of 2003 revealed "elevated levels of almost every element imaginable," Peterson said, including 128 times the amount of arsenic in a typical dog's hair.
Peterson's research project would expand from there, shedding new light on the extent of environmental degradation in Butte and introducing a new, if not conclusive, way to measure it and the continuing efforts to clean it up. Her work marked the first time pet hair has been used to monitor toxins in a residential Superfund site.
Since then, the project has moved on to testing the hair of animals in Australia and Nairobi, and sampling the hair of animals bagged by hunters back home in Montana. Through taking samples at hunter check stations, they found far higher levels of metals in animals shot in the area around Anaconda, once home to a huge smelting operation.
The Auditor, as it turned out, inspired Peterson on several levels. She was the one behind the effort to install statues of him — created by a Texas sculptor — at several locations around town, including the one she showed me at the Butte Plaza Mall.
It's made of bronze, with a copper patina that has worn off in spots from people petting it. Most of funding for the sculpture came from a California couple, who read of The Auditor in a Puli Club of America newsletter.
Peterson's hope was that The Auditor — after his death on Nov. 19, 2003 — would become a mascot for Butte, or a mascot for environmental causes, that his legacy would serve as inspiration to others, and as a reminder to not abandon pets, or abuse the planet.
What she wasn't planning on was her own little Auditor.
Living with her 86-year-old mother, she didn't see a dog fitting into her life.
But after publicity about The Auditor, and connecting with the Puli Club, she started getting emails when a Puli would show up at a shelter in need of rescue.
That's how, three years ago, she ended up with Birke-Beiner.
"I couldn't pass him up when I saw the picture of him," Peterson said.
Birke-Beiner, who earlier in the day had gone to a Halloween Party — as a basket of yarn — came along on our trip to the mall, much of which he spent draped over Peterson's shoulder, looking something like a Lady Gaga fashion accessory.
Peterson says some people call him Little Auditor, but Birke is his own dog — playful, people-friendly and, one gets the impression, destined to live a happy and non-toxic life, far away from a giant hole in the ground known as the Berkeley Pit.

Hartz recalls Beef Treats
Hartz Mountain Corp. has issued a voluntary recall of nearly 75,000 bags of dog treats because of concerns about salmonella.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration detected the presence of salmonella organisms in one or more 8-ounce bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats during random testing.
The company, based in Secaucus, New Jersey, has not received any reports of animals or people becoming ill as a result of contact with the treats, and is investigating the source of the contamination.
The affected treats are stamped with the lot code BZ0969101E, according to the FDA.
Dog owners who have purchased the recalled treats should immediately throw them away, and the FDA advises dog owners whose pets are exhibiting fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea to seek veterinary assistance.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall should contact Hartz at 1-800-275-1414. You can read the company's press release about the recall here.

Condo board dumps DNA poop proposal
The proposal to establish a DNA database of every dog who resides in Baltimore's Scarlett Place Condominiums — all in hopes of figuring out who's not picking up their dog's poop — appears to have been dumped.
At a meeting of the condo's board this week, the proposal was tabled and the decision was made to to pursue more "realistic and acceptable" alternatives.
While the meeting was closed to the public, a resident correspondent reports on the Baltimore Sun's Unleashed blog that the board chairman said that other alternatives to finding the culprit would receive further study.
Under the proposal, every dog in Scarlett Place would have had to provide a DNA sample. Any unpicked-up poop found at the building would then be sent to an out of state laboratory for comparison. The owner of the dog linked to the poop would then face fines.
Unleashed author Jill Rosen wrote that, after breaking the story, she was originally invited to attend the meeting, but uninvited when the story developed legs, appearing in publications and on websites across the globe, thereby, in my view, bringing the luxury condominium the embarassment it deserved.
Richard Hopp, a Scarlett Place resident, reported to Unleashed that the condo board, in a standing room only meeting, "tabled the proposal." Not a single resident spoke in favor of it, he said, and the board member who came up with the idea wasn't present.
"For what it is worth, my take on this is that the board members realized they had really 'stepped in it' with their doggy DNA proposal," Hopp reported, "and in order to save face, they tabled the matter, rather than just vote it down and move on…"

Condo considers DNA tests to track poopers
DNA testing, which may have its place in crime solving — not to mention pinpointing your baby daddy — is increasingly being considered around the world as a way to nab dog owners who fail to pick up poop.
Now, in addition to government bodies from Germany to Israel, a ritzy Baltimore condominium is considering using the technology to help track down the owners of the dog or dogs who are not being picked up after.
Some residents of the Scarlett Place Condominiums are so steamed by dog poop — at least some of which is being deposited indoors — they're willing to watch thousands of dollars be spent in an effort to figure out whodunit or, more appropriately, whodroppedit.
Under the condo board's proposed plan, all dogs in the building would be swabbed for DNA testing to create a database. Dog owners would pay $50 each to cover the costs of tests, and an additional $10 per month for the cost of having building staff pick up wayward piles of poop.
The staff would then send the samples to BioPet Vet Lab, a Tennessee-based company, which would compare the mailed-in samples to those in the dog poop database.
When the company is able to identify the owner of the dog whose poop was not scooped, that owner would pay a $500 fine.
"We pay all this money, and we're walking around stepping in dog poop," resident Steven Frans, the board member who proposed the plan, told the Baltimore Sun. "We bring guests over and this is what they're greeted by."
The Scarlett Place condo board is expected to make a decision later this week.
I, for one, would not want to live in a complex whose management, or for that matter, a city whose government, is so anal that it goes around collecting dog poop and sending it in for analysis.
Such a program is underway, on a trial basis, in the city of Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv in Israel, and other jurisdictions in Europe, as well as New York City, have considered it.
As for the Scarlett Place Condominiums, perhaps a cheaper route would be to hire a poop picker upper, adding that service to what its website describes as its "a plethora of desirable amenities."
"Entering the lobby, you will be greeted by one of the Front Desk attendants who will take care of your packages, guests, concerns, and deliveries. Attendants are on duty 24 hours a day … A full service, recently remodeled health club is available 24 hours a day and a spectacular indoor pool is at your disposal complete with magnificent walls of glass overlooking The Inner Harbor and Scarlett Place Condominiums courtyard."
Meanwhile, if they pursue testing dog poop for DNA, I'm wondering what the more-money-than-they-know-what-to-do-with condo board's next initiative will be: Establishing a database of their human residents so they can ascertain who's wiping boogers on the elevator walls?

That Stupid Lady!
I was in some sort of office and got into an elevator with a bunch of people. We were over the capacity the elevator can hold and this lady walks up and pushes the call button. The elevator went ding and the ropes snapped and we began plummeting down at a fast speed. Everybody was thrown from one side to the other and for some reason I closed my eyes, put my hands together, and started yelling "God, PLEASE let us land in some water! Please let us land in some water!" So then we landed in a huge dark tank that resembled an ocean. As the elevator went down and down and down, I got scared and started swimming up and up and up. I got through the top where the roof was ripped off and I climbed out of the tank and back into the office lobby. They had a big fishing machine and were trying to search for bodies while all the survivors stood around in towels. The machine pulled up what was supposed to be a body in the dream but really was a mannequin with a wig. Then we all turned around and saw the stupid lady who pushed the ding button and we all glared at her and then she ran away. Then I woke up.

Employees who claim they were fired because of some form of discrimination don't have a very high hurdle to jump to keep their lawsuits going.
They merely have to show that they were a member of a protected class, were discharged, were qualified for the position they lost and were replaced by someone outside their protected class. That's the so-called prima facie case in a nutshell.
It's then up to the employer to prove it had a nondiscriminatory reason for the decision. You can do that with good, accurate records.
In age discrimination cases, employees only have to show they were replaced by someone younger, or otherwise discharged because of age. You will have a much easier time showing that you had a legitimate reason unrelated to age for terminating the employee if you can cite specific business reasons to back up each part of your decision-making process.

Accent on Christian Faith
The Campus Christian Center (CCC) offers several programs and special annual events through which it both emphasizes the distinctive Christian identity of Berea College and leads the College to accomplish this major facet of its mission. Each year, the Center provides opportunities both to educate about the many forms of Christian experience and to nurture as well as to develop the distinctive ecumenical Christian community of the College. The Center has gathered these activities under one broad programmatic title: Accent on Christian Faith.
The Ruth Pister Hampel Memorial Lectureship in Religion
In the fall semester each year, the Campus Christian Center offers The Ruth Pister Hampel Memorial Lectureship in Religion. The Center invites notable and accomplished ministers, speakers, and theologians to deliver this lecture. The Ruth Pister Hampel Memorial Lecture occurs as a convocation. The CCC has offered the Hampel Lecture in Religion since 1987, through the generous support of John E. and Ruth Pister Hampel. In 1987, Mr. and Mrs. Hampel donated funds for an endowment to support this lectureship, which became the Ruth Pister Hampel Memorial Lecture in Religion. The Hampels gave this gift with the hope and prayer that this program will effectively continue "to emphasize the College's long term influence in the field of religion."
Christmas Open House
In early December, prior to the end of the semester, the Center holds an Open House in the Fireside Room of the Draper Building. The Center provides refreshments, so that individuals can take time for breaks and moments of relaxation beside the fireplace as the semester winds down.
Celebration of Christmas
In early December, the CCC co-sponsors, with the Department of Music and Church of Christ, Union, an annual service of worship that emphasizes the music of the Christmas season and a reading of the account of the birth of Jesus. The Church of Christ, Union, as the historic founding church of the College, provides its ample facilities for this Christmas celebration. The College opens this event to the entire community; typically, approximately 1,000 people will attend this very popular and festive event.
Christmas Breakfast of Appreciation for Facilities Management & Public Safety
The CCC also provides one other event during its Christmas activities, for two very important parts of the College community: the staff of Facilities Management and Public Safety. As a demonstration of the Center's appreciation for their service to the entire campus, the Center prepares a breakfast of appreciation for the staff of these departments.

Food Fight
From Patti Labelle's Soul Food to Big Kenny's Farm-Fresh Fixins—Celebs Dish It Out on NBC's Celebrity Cooking Showdown
PATTI LABELLE (singer and cookbook author): "I'm known for my cooking, but I'm a little intimidated by this show. I'll be making upscale soul food. I will not be using any hot sauce, 'cause I don't know if the judges can take it, and I need to make sure they're happy. With cooking, you mess up and you keep on going. When I cooked on Oprah, something I was making fell on the floor, but I couldn't stop, I had to smile, pick it up and keep moving. That's hard. Singing is much easier!"
ASHLEY PARKER ANGEL (former member of the boy band O-Town): "When it's time to make dinner, I'm the guy who's known for calling Domino's, and now Wolfgang Puck is teaching me how to make pizza. He's taught me all these great techniques, like how to chop. Sounds simple, but it's hard. I originally wanted to do the show because I have an album coming out in May [Soundtrack to Your Life], and I wanted to cook for the release party, but now I think I'm just going to cook for fun."
CINDY MARGOLIS (model, actress and host of her own Internet show): "I'm the woman who could barely boil water. I never cook. My husband, Guy Starkman, owns Jerry's Deli, so we get all of our meals from there. I'm queen of ordering in! My husband took me to Spago for a pasta dish, and now Wolfgang is teaching me how to cook that meal. Guy always cooks for me, and now this will be my special gift, to do it for him."
BIG KENNY (half of the country duo Big & Rich): "I grew up on a farm and I've always loved fresh vegetables. I'm a red-blooded, all-American big beef eater too. I'm not a chef, but I can actually cook. On one of my first dates with my wife, I made her a special burrito—a love burrito—and I think that impressed her. But when my agent told me about this show, I thought this would be really fun—I like learning a few new tricks from the masters."

The Toddler Program
The toddler program at Bethel University Child Development Center (CDC) is licensed to serve 13 toddlers each day.
Our program is focused on giving toddlers the personal attention they need to grow along with creating a social environment where toddlers learn from group activities.
Toddlers are taught and cared for by pre-kindergarten licensed teachers and college students who are preparing to become professional early childhood educators. This creates an opportunity for our toddlers to be involved in many innovative and creative learning experiences, and to be guided by individuals who are knowledgeable in child growth and development.
We use a
learning center approach to curriculum where experiences are tailored to meet the
needs of your child as well as the entire group.
The curriculum helps our children work to improve the following developmental areas: social, emotional, language, literacy, approaches to learning, creativity, arts, cognitive, physical, and motor skills. These skills are developed daily through various activities such as:
- Creative Art
- Science
- Music and Movement
- Literature and Reading
- Active Writing
- Prayer
- And more…
Facilities and Schedule
The toddler program is held in large classroom that is divided into three main areas where the children explore and have organized group activities.

Double Nano Lock Out Question
I've got double nanos on all my big planes (50cc and up...actually I have nanos in almost everything I own, 13 planes, hexacopter, and heli).
Haven't had any issues with any of them tell now, a 50cc plane started locking out on me. The plane had no problems until I added a smoke system (and second nano) to it.
I have it set up to where the main rx is sitting up high in the cockpit - 6" or more away from everything. Not a lose wire in sight!
The slave rx runs only my smoke pump, that's it. It is not in a good place. It's by wires and such but I figured I didn't care if that one locked out.
If the slave locks out, will it somehow cause the main one to lock out too?
I have two theories
1 - Maybe the slave locking out will cause the main one to lock out (long shot here but who knows?)
2 - My main rx is set up so high that it's getting more vibrations than normal and it's getting vibrated to death? Maybe it's been getting vibrated all along but it's just coincidence that it started locking out now after I added the smoke system??????
Yes, the power source is good..... I'll answer that right now. Never had a blinking light upon landing. Just as an added idea I'll run the tattle tail in it next time.

The receivers can not lock each other out. What happens that makes you think there is a lockout occurring? Vibration can cause servo connections to disconnect and reconnect. If you are using older (2 years+) Hitec digital servos, a loss of connection to the servo means a 1.5 second 'reboot' time of the servo itself before it becomes operational.
So, this setup worked fine before adding a second receiver, but did you plug servos or extensions while adding the seconds reciever?
What does a range test show?

I have fail safes set. Throttle and all control surfaces go into fail safe mode for a second or so, then I get it back. That's how I know it's locking out. I haven't had smoke on when this has happened so I don't know for sure if both rx's are locking out or not. If it were just one servo it would just be one surface I'd think. But because ALL control surfaces quit, it's going into failsafe mode.... it's locking out.
The range test is over 200', checked that right before this last flight.
When I added the second rx it was only for the smoke system - so smoke pump connection is the only thing added to the system. I'm not 100% sure that the problem didn't start before I added the smoke system though, it has just got worse since I did.
It started with just a little glitch one flight when the plane was way up high a long ways away, then it got worse and worse. Last flight it was locking out on me right off the bat. It did it about 5 times within 2 minutes all close range, 150' or less close to me. Yes, I know, I should have landed after the first one...landing with a full tank of smoke is against club policy though. That stuff needs to be disposed of properly! ;-)
I've scanned the plane high and low for anything lose but it's all zip-tied tight. This is why I wondered if the nano is getting rattled to death or something. Maybe antenna is coming lose or cracked?
The new field is within 1Km or so from the Tasmanian car racing track.
They had a big meet on that day. I went into failsafe a couple of times with the model within 100 meters or so from me, both times at the start of a new race, talk about background noise! I was using the XPS8, never had a problem before.
I do not know what those guys are using to talk to their drivers, but they must talk a lot, all of them at the same time! definitely blanked me out. Just mentioning this because your problem could be, I say could be an increase in local radio traffic.

Well, your range test is longer than the distance you are experiencing the lockout. So, might be inclined to believe the problem is either vibration related and you are using older Hitec digital servos (we have seen these on several occasions) or maybe the issue is the transmitter module or antenna. You can't get worse range with the button not being pressed than it is when pressed. Check our module's center pin... unscrew the antenna and make sure that the pin is flush or sticking slightly above the gold connector housing. If it's not, then we need to replace the connector because it would be broken and making intermittent connection with the antenna. Are you by chance using a Futaba 9C radio?

The hitecs are 3 years old with 40 flights on the plane (yup, I log my flights).
2-5625's, 2-625's, 1-5645, 1-425bb (good ol trusty plastic).
Upon inspecting them to see what kind they were I noticed a lose servo arm screw on my rudder servo - a 5645. That would be a metal screw in a metal socket, wiggling around a little. The servo arm was actually about to fall off. I really hope that was my problem but I'm not sure if that would give enough feedback to cause a problem? What do you think? The set screw was still there, just about to fall out. That may explain the "slowly getting worse" scenario.
I hate to just go fly it thinking, "well ok, we found the problem!", but what else do you do? Range check with the motor running hard?
I'm using a JR9303 with associated module. I've been flying other stuff since I started having issues with this plane so I know it's not the module/remote - which is good. I did check it though, looks good as new. I've always been careful to not over tighten it.
It's got to be either a vibrated antenna that cracked or that set screw issue, unless you have any other ideas for me to consider. It's definitely not other interferance as I live in the middle of no where so-to-speak and no one else flies within 20 miles of me.

I would swap the two nanos, reprogram and fly with the tattle tale.

You stated that your Nano LED is not blinking, which means that the Nano itself is not losing power, but the connections to the servos could be.

I'll test the servos like you said and range test with the motor on and see what happens.
You don't think it's possible to have a cracked antenna or something like that?

Now, when you say 'failsafes are set', did you delibarately go and program the failsafe mapping using the XDP and then use the live-active failsafe to set those positions? That is what is required to actually 'set the failsafes'. I am trying to determine if there really is a failsafe occurring vs. intermittent servo connection, making it look like a failsafe for any of the channels with those Hitec digital servos. Trust me, we have had a few dozen people with this exact same problem in gasser setups, where vibration over time has caused servo pins to wiggle during flight, causing the servo(s) to reboot - and it looks just like a lockout. I watched one of my friends at the local field have the issue. I called up Hitec right after I figured it out, and the brand new servos that just came in had fixed the problem - but nobody from Hitec USA had known about the issue until I pointed it out.

Getting around town in style
This urban speedster won us over primarily thanks to its relatively light weight, which made it easy to accelerate and pedal up hills. The 700c wheels and 32mm tires gave it adequate cushion on rougher roads but didn't hold us back when we were running late to a meeting.

Cancer Health Center
Lymph Node Biopsy
How To Prepare continued...
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the biopsy, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of the biopsy, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
If you take a blood thinner, you will probably need to stop taking it for a week before the biopsy.
If a lymph node biopsy will be done under local anesthesia, you do not need to do anything else to prepare for the biopsy.
If the biopsy will be done under general anesthesia, follow the instructions exactly about when to stop eating and drinking, or your surgery may be canceled. If your doctor has instructed you to take your medicines on the day of surgery, do so using only a sip of water. An intravenous line (IV) will be put in your arm, and a sedative medicine will be given before the biopsy. Arrange for someone to drive you home if you are going to have general anesthesia or will be given a sedative.
Other tests, such as blood tests or X-rays, may be done before the lymph node biopsy.
How It Is Done
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy
A needle biopsy of a lymph node near the skin is usually done by a hematologist, a radiologist, or a general surgeon. A needle biopsy of a lymph node deeper within the body is usually done by a radiologist using a CT scan or ultrasound to help guide the needle. The biopsy may be done in a surgery clinic or the hospital.
You may need to take off all or some of your clothes. If needed, you will be given a cloth or paper covering to use during the biopsy.
Your doctor numbs the area where the needle will be inserted. Once the area is numb, the needle is put through the skin and into the lymph node. You must lie still while the biopsy is done. The biopsy sample is sent to a lab to be looked at under a microscope.

Judit Polgár announces MATE IN 4! Can you solve it?
I am seeing a mate in 3 -
1.Rf8+ Bxf82.d6+ Be63.Bxe6#
What am I missing?
EDIT:Oh, Now I see:2. ... Qd53. Bxd5+ THEN3. ... Be64. Bxe6#
More straight forward than the title implies.
not bad
Loved the puzzle posted by 14 hours ago · in comment · #112 by sriramu123
Under-promotion to a sacrificial piece to avoid stalemate and enable checkmate!!!
The pawn can't capture the rook because it is pinned by the bishop
Orange_Mouse posts 2 ridiculous "solutions" to two "puzzles" in comment #138. Why?
The first "puzzle" should be a mate in 1 by black, and black makes the wrong move.
The second is a game opening by the two worst players I can imagine.
Don't you people get bored by always commenting 'too easy' and 'first page'? Every single puzzle they put, there is innevitably someone who wants to show just how unchallenged by the puzzle they are. Yeah, yeah, we know you're smart and an exceptionally awesome chess player, kudos to you, now talk more chess and less how dumb the others (apparently people who choose the puzzles) are.
This was an extremely brain-building puzzle.
I think there is an alternate solution in which 2.Rxg6+ followed by Qh6 is mate however black recaptures.
If 2. Rxg6+ then 2...Kxg6 3. Qh6+ Kf5.

"Vaalserberg – 'Drielandenpunt'" Vijlen Things to Do Tip by vtveen
Vijlen Things to Do: 3 reviews and 13 photos
The southern part of the province of Limburg has a lot of hills (for us Dutchies it is almost mountainous) Close to Vijlen lies Vaals, near the border with Germany and belonging to the same municipality.
The Vaalserberg is the highest point of the Netherlands. This point is 322,5 meters above Normal Amsterdam Level (although there are sources saying it is even 322,7 m) and is marked with a plaque, just in front of border post number 1. Another sign is referring to the lowest point in the Netherlands: Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel.
Just a couple of meters away lies the so called 'Drielandenpunt' (Three Country Point), where the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany intersect. From 1830 till 1919 it was even a 'Four Country Point' with the mini state of Neu Moresnet (in the meantime belonging to Belgium).
The boundary lines of these four countries can be seen in the cobbles.
The whole area on top of the Vaalserberg is a touristy hot spot with cafés, restaurants, panorama towers and a labyrinth; so don't expect to be alone when discovering the highest point of Limburg and the Netherlands.
Address: Vaals, Limburg, the Netherlands
Directions: The Vaalserberg is situated nearby the town of Vaals. By car just follow the signs 'Vaals' and (later) 'Drielandenpunt'. It is about 5 km's from Vijlen.
