Minnesota Timberwolves, punishingly bad, slouch into spring
In the month of March, the Timberwolves executed one of the more radical moves we've seen from a professional sports franchise in recent memory. Going very much against the pro sports grain, they drastically cut season ticket prices for next season by as much as 50% for some seats. It's now actually possible to buy lower deck season tickets for as low as $10. That's a pretty serious deal. Here's Wolves' GM David Kahn explaining the motivation to Truehoop: "I'm hopeful that the end result here is that the pricing decrease here will be made up with a fuller building and more buyers, and a better atmosphere for our team and our fans."
Now, I'm no fan of the way that pro franchises tend to manipulate their fans with transparent gimmicks and sentimental language; team loyalty tends to be a one-way street. But what the Wolves have done is, in many ways, pretty cool. Thanks to these moves, and to some almost as drastic deals for this season, there are actually fans in the seats, many of whom are not obscenely wealthy, and many of whom seem to actually care about basketball. I think this may have been the intention.
But let's not go overboard with the populist rhetoric. Considering how punishingly bad the Wolves have been recently, these moves reek unmistakably of desperation. Wolves fans have been asked to endure a lot over the years; their patience for rebuilding has been nearly exhausted. The team has to know that they are close to a crisis point. Even fans who are flush with the thrill of affordable season tickets can't possibly stomach another season as miserable as this one has become.
The facts: The Wolves have lost 17 of their last 18 games. Only twice in the past three weeks have they been within ten points at the final buzzer. Their resiliency, their inner reserve of will, seems severely depleted. They seem to have become exhausted by the agonizing fact that to simply stay close in any game they must exert a staggering effort.
This depletion shows itself in a host of ways. Most obviously, the Wolves can't seem to summon up the effort to compete on the glass or in their transition defense. We saw this in Utah on Wednesday and especially in that stunning loss to Phoenix on Tuesday, in which the Wolves surrendered 79 points in the first half and 152 in the game. When the Suns and Jazz made their big runs, when they started finding open shooters and casting their particular spells, the Wolves simply wilted. They couldn't force themselves to really fight for rebounds; they couldn't race the floor in transition; they couldn't stop the ball.
Compounding the problem is a concomitant lack of composure on offense. So many of the gains in offensive understanding and execution that the team made before the All-Star break seem to have fizzled away. We haven't seen more than brief flashes of the triangle's fabled movement and fluidity in weeks (when Corey Brewer is the team's prolific shooter, as he was against both Utah and Phoenix, it's a good sign that things just aren't functioning properly). Jonny Flynn has regressed to early-season form; the inexplicable shot selection and the aimless freelancing seem to have won the day. Worst of all, the Wolves have committed an average of just under 15 turnovers per game over the last four. That's a really good way to get pounded.
Even the Wolves' reliably energetic and poised players have succumbed to the swoon. Ramon Sessions, Corey Brewer and Ryan Gomes have all, at times, looked lost and drained in recent weeks. And as for Kevin Love, sometimes considered the Wolves' best player, a player who has been rightly included among the league's top five rebounders, who once seemed guaranteed to bring nightly, ferocious effort? Wolves color man Jim Peterson had this to say: "Kevin Love looks to me like he's checked out." Hate to say it, but I agree.
So, although $10 lower-deck NBA season tickets is a cool thing, fans can only be expected to stomach so much. Its hard to imagine many people sticking out another season like this one, in which the team endures nightly 20-point drubbings, in which the team's best players and best prospects have plainly given up the ghost. Kahn better hope he uses that cap space and those draft picks wisely.

The Wauneta Breeze
Wauneta-Palisade juniors Dharma Blake-Cole and Cameo Rector will be representing Palisade and Wauneta at June's Cornhusker Girls State. Dakota Borchard was selected as alternate for both.
Blake-Cole is sponsored by the Palisade American Legion Auxiliary Post #318 and the Palisade American Legion Post #137.
Rector is sponsored by the Wauneta American Legion Auxiliary Post #304 and the Wauneta Volunteer Firemen.
Spots were open for area juniors and seniors. Those interested filled out applications and interviewed for the right to go to Lincoln. Sponsorship included entry fees and travel expenses. The event will be held on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus May 31-June 6.
Blake-Cole, who lives in Palisade, is the daughter of Stephanie Malcolm and Christopher Cole.
She was a member of the 2014 WP volleyball team, One-Act Play and works as a CNA at Sunrise Heights.
This summer, Blake-Cole will be a lifeguard and work at her uncle's restaurant. She enjoys reading, writing, drawing and painting.
"This is a good opportunity to learn more about government and meet new people," said Blake-Cole.
From Wauneta, Rector, daughter of Rod and Luann Rector, is active in speech and drama, One-Act Play, volleyball, basketball, FFA, Quiz Bowl and National Honor Society at WP. She also participates in church activities and has two jobs. She is in the process of writing a book.
She also enjoys hunting, fishing and riding horses.
"I am very blessed and thankful for being chosen to represent Wauneta at Girls State," said Rector. "This opportunity will open a door to many career paths that I am still very open to. I am very excited about this trip."
Borchard is also a junior at WP. She is the daughter of Karmen and Jeremy Borchard of Benkelman.
At WP she has taken part in volleyball, One-Act Play and FFA. She is also involved in 4-H in Dundy County. Borchard is involved with her church and works as a CNA at Sunrise Heights. She also works as a farm hand during the summer.
Borchard enjoys riding horses, drawing, working with her 4-H cattle and shooting, as well as reading and writing. She says she enjoys her job at Sunrise Heights because of the people.
Started in the 1930s, Girls State became a regular part of the American Legion Auxiliary's Americanism curriculum in 1948.
Girls' State attendees are divided into eight towns named after Presidents of the United States and also into two fictional political parties. To help learn about governments attendees take part in political events and elect city, county and state positions.
Besides learning about Parliamentary Procedure, students also learn about legislative sessions, campaigning, mock trials and debates.

For all the naysayers and worrywarts out there waiting for a part of Hasek to go creak or watch him turn into a washed-up old guy, it simply hasn't happened. "I'm not surprised one bit and I wouldn't call what he has done a surprise," said Senators GM John Muckler. "This is exactly what I expected when I signed (Hasek) to a contract. I know what kind of talent he is and what kind of athlete he is. I know how hard he works. "He's been very good. He's come in here and shown that he wants to get the job done. We're talking about a guy here who is on a mission. He wants to show he's one of the elite-level goalies in the NHL and he wants to win a Stanley Cup. That's why he is here."

If you are like most of the clients I deal with, you are starting to recognize the storage part of your infrastructure represents a BIG opportunity for improvement in 2013 – in agility, in efficiency, and in cost. When demand (data growth) outpaces supply (ability of hardware vendors to increase areal density driving down costs) as dramatically as it has begun to do, something has to change in the way storage infrastructure is approached in order to help balance the equation again. That 'change' creates a perfect economic environment for vendor innovation resulting in creative new solutions for clients. If you have been paying attention to the storage space, you've noticed an increased investment pace as vendors explore technical innovations and try to explain these innovations to potential clients. One of my biggest frustrations though is when the industry can't settle on terminology for describing a solution approach leaving clients thoroughly confused and paralyzed. Read more...

SNW Spring 2013 recap

I'm just returning from the SNW Spring conference in Orlando. It seemed sparsely attended but my 5-foot tall wife of almost 28 years has always told me that dynamite comes in small packages (I believe her!).
As I noted in my last post, I was in Orlando to participate in a round table discussion on storage hypervisors hosted by ESG Senior Analyst Mark Peters. I was joined by Claus Mikkelsen - Chief Scientist at Hitachi Data Systems, Mark Davis – CEO of Virsto (now a VMware company), and George Teixeira – CEO of DataCore. Conspicuously missing from the conversation both at this SNW and at a similar round table held during the SNW Fall 2012 conference was any representation from EMC. More on that in a moment.
The session this time drew a crowd roughly three times the size of the Fall 2012 installment – a completely full room. And the level of audience participation in questioning the panel members further demonstrated just how much the industry conversation is accelerating. I was pleased to see that most of the discussion was focused on use cases for what was interchangeably referred to as storage virtualization, storage hypervisors, and software-defined storage. Check out my new blog – TheLine – for a view on a few of the use cases that were probed on.

In response to: Storage hypervisor round table at SNW Spring 2013Great timing on this post, Ron. I was just reading an editorial by Rich Castagna on searchstorage.com (http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/opinion/Software-defined-storage-Is-hardware-obsolete), pondering whether "software-defined storage" was just the latest marketing hype and that vendors were somehow claiming that this new capability would make storage hardware obsolete.

Back at the Storage Networking World Fall 2012 conference, I participated in a round table on storage hypervisors hosted by ESG Senior Analyst Mark Peters. I was joined by Claus Mikkelsen - Chief Scientist at Hitachi Data Systems, Mark Davis – CEO of Virsto (now a VMware company), and George Teixeira – CEO of DataCore. Following the conference, Mark Peters posted a very nice series of three video blogs with perspective from the round table participants. They are worth a listen.
The discussion is continuing at SNW Spring 2013 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida. The panel discussion "Analyst Perspective: The Storage Hypervisor: Myth or Reality?" will happen on Tuesday, April 2 at 5:00 pm EDT.
As we prepare for the round table next week, I thought it worthwhile to offer a point of view on storage hypervisors. Check out my new blog – The Line – for more information.

Mutant Hybrids: Penny Smith's Recent Stoneware and Porcelain
Holmes, Jonathan, Ceramics Art & Perception
DURING THE LATTER PART OF 2007, PENNY SMITH, was invited to mount a solo exhibition at the Carnegie Gallery in Hobart, Tasmania. This non-commercial gallery, run by the Hobart City Council, has been showcasing small survey exhibitions of prominent artists working in Tasmania for several years now and it provided an excellent opportunity to review her recent work in porcelain and stoneware. (1)
On a number of occasions in what is now almost forty years of professional practice as a ceramist and designer, Penny Smith has produced exhibitions with a carefully defined theme--both of her own work and in a number of exhibitions that she has curated over the past 20 years. In this latter career as a curator, she has been responsible for researching and developing several historically important exhibitions including Common Earth: Alive and Unfired [1985], an exhibition that was generated out of a series of artist-in-residencies held in Hobart; Insite: Art for Public Places [1988] which was shown at the Plimsoll Gallery, University of Tasmania and which was accompanied by an informative catalogue documenting works of public art in Tasmania; (2) and Profiles: International Tableware Design [1991-1992] for which she was guest curator at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery [TMAG]. (3) This significant exhibition, which toured to the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, brought together a comprehensive contemporary collection of tableware by leading international designers and manufacturers. The exhibition entered the TMAG collection and now provides important documentation of then-current styles of tableware.
Profiles reflected a long-standing interest that Penny Smith has had in the field of production tableware and in her own practice this has been a relatively constant theme. She has undertaken a number of research trips to Europe and North America since the 1980s to increase her knowledge of small-scale industrial processes and was awarded an influential artist-in-residency at the Arabia tableware factory in Helsinki, Finland in 1995. This led to an exciting and productive period of research and manufacture of slip-cast and press-moulded ceramics, first in Helsinki and later in Hobart, particularly in the Ceramics Research Unit, which she and colleague Les Blakebrough developed in the 1990s. Two fine themed exhibitions emerged from this research--Lightworks 1, shown at the Arabia Gallery in 1995 and a substantial survey exhibition, Lightworks 11 which was shown in 1996 at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. (4) As their names imply, these two shows had as their principal motif the theme of light, a theme that was carried in a series of elegant forms that had first been imagined in Barcelona in 1992 when she stayed with partner John Smith, who had been awarded the Australia Council residency that year.
Employing an abstraction of the shape of a bull's horn, a number of forms were designed and developed and then transferred to a series of slip-cast moulds that allowed her to reproduce limited production series of vases and lamps. One particularly beautiful series, further developed at Arabia, is a group of 'horns'--about half a metre high--that begins with a conical form that has a radical curve at its centre; three further conical forms then gradually straighten towards the vertical so that one gets a sense of a serial unfolding. Each 'lightwork' sits on a striking textured stoneware base which, with its black glaze, helps to emphasise the quality of lightness and translucence of the sinuous and curvy bone china forms. Decoration is limited to a surface of sgraffito curlicues each of which is pierced at the centre and, with the introduction of electric light, each becomes an ethereal ambient lighting source, with a warm glow spreading across the whole form while sharp pinpoints of light shine through the piercings. …

Victory Fund reports gay candidates elected across U.S.
Originally printed 11/06/2008 (Issue 1645 - Between The Lines News)
Washington, D.C.
Dozens of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender candidates won election to public offices across the U.S. on Tuesday, according to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. The group, which endorsed a record-breaking 111 candidates in 2008, said more than 70 percent of its endorsed candidates had won their races by early Wednesday.
Among the winners in 2008:
* Jared Polis of Colorado became the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Congress as a non-incumbent. He joins Rep. Barney Frank and Rep. Tammy Baldwin, both reelected Tuesday night, as the only openly LGBT Members of Congress.
* Kate Brown became the first openly LGBT Secretary of State in the U.S., and the second-highest ranking elected official in the state of Oregon. Brown is openly bisexual.
* Sam Adams was elected mayor of Portland, Oregon earlier in the year. He will become the first openly gay mayor of one of the 30 largest U.S. cities when he's sworn in next year.
* Jason Bartlett, who came out as gay in his current term, was reelected to the Connecticut State House. He is only the second openly gay African-American state legislator in the nation.
* Thomas Robichaux and Seth Bloom, both gay men, simultaneously became the first-ever openly LGBT elected officials in the state of Louisiana when they were elected to the Orleans Parish School Board in an October primary.
* John Perez became the first openly gay person of color elected to the California Assembly.
* Lupe Valdez was reelected to a second term as sheriff of Dallas County, Texas. First elected in 2004, Valdez was the first woman, the first Latina and the first out lesbian ever to win the post.
* Kevin Beckner won a seat on the Hillsborough County Commission in Florida, unseating an anti-gay incumbent and becoming the first openly gay man elected in the county.
* Rebecca Kaplan will be the first out lesbian to serve on the Oakland, Calif. City Council after winning her race Tuesday.

Distinctly Catholic: Let's look at what 2016 might hold for the Catholic church -- shakeups in the Curia, a consistory and an apostolic exhortation.
Simply Spirit: It is unlikely that the outcomes for U.S. sisters would have been so positive without the outpouring of support by grass-roots Catholics.
Global Sisters Report: The whole sad doctrinal assessment and oversight mandate of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious from the Vatican is history. Alleluia!
The Napa Institute is a remarkable mix of religious retreat, networking opportunity, strategy session, wine-tasting vacation and glimpse at the U.S. traditionalist Catholic superstructure.
Q and A: "In my judgment, there never has been an infallible church teaching on a specific moral issue," Fr. Charles Curran says.
NCR Today: Federal contractors will now be required not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. How will the bishops take it?
The following is a timeline of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's investigation of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
2008: The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life had ordered a separate investigation, known as an apostolic visitation, of U.S. orders of women religious. The results of that study were submitted to Rome at the end of 2011.
Pope Francis confirmed the top leadership of the Congregation for Eastern Churches and named among its new members Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Byzantine Archbishop William Skurla of Pittsburgh.
The Vatican announced Wednesday that the pope confirmed Argentine Cardinal Leonardo Sandri as prefect and Archbishop Cyril Vasil as secretary of the congregation, which assists the Eastern Catholic churches throughout the world and the Latin-rite Catholic dioceses of the Middle East.

"New" 1998 Bianchi Premio - $300 (Far West)
Date: 2009-10-12, 3:46PM CDT
Reply to: email@example.com [Errors when replying to ads?]
This is a true time machine. I bought this 1998 Bianchi Premio from the original owner who bought it new and never rode it. It has been hanging in his garage since new!!! The parting flash is still on the tires and the chain and sprockets are perfectly clean. There are 2 tiny paint chips on the right seat stay, otherwise the paint and decals are perfect.
The bike has a 55cm frame and is built of Tange Infinity tapered double butted steel tubing with a steel fork. It is a true sport touring bike with center and bottom eyelets on the fork and top and bottom eyelets on the rear.It has a Sugino TGP110 triple crank 28/38/48, 7 speed cassette 13/28 with Shimano Deore LX front derailleur and Acera X rear, downtube index shifters. This is as close as you will ever get to buying a brand new 1998 Bianchi at a bargain price. Even all the reflectors are still on it. I live about 150 miles from Chicago, but would meet halfway on either I-80 or I-88.

Classic Shogun Katana road bike - $159 (Spencer)
A classic Japanese-built Shogun Katana road bike, probably late 1980's vintage. I haven't ridden a bicycle in too many years and don't think I ever will again so it should go to someone who can appreciate the bike and its craftsmanship. Shimano Light Action SIS derailleur on a 6-cog cassette mated to a 2-cog Sugino GP130 crank (for 12 speeds total), Suze Sealed-Tech hubs/Araya 32H 700c wheelset, Sakau FX headset, Shimano SLR brakes, Tange Infiniti CR-Mo tapered double-butted tube frame. All top-notch components of the time and all stock build. I believe this is a 53cm frame, but not sure how to measure it. What I do know is that it's just a touch too small for my 5' 10" 195lb build.
All original, except for the Bicycle Alley water bottle and perhaps the Tailbones (soft) seat, but I don't know about that as this is the one that was on it when I bought it back in the mid-nineties.. Recent tires and tubes. There's a couple of nicks on the paint, but nothing is out of alignment or in any state of disrepair. This is one made before production was moved to Taiwan and soon after ceased altogether. Asking a very fair price for a roadworthy classic!
FS- 1988/89 Schwinn Tempo road bike - $300 (Westchester, Il)
Date: 2009-10-13, 12:10AM CDT
Reply to: email@example.com [Errors when replying to ads?]
I am selling my Schwinn Tempo racing bike. I am the original owner, having purchased this bike new around 88/89. This was one of Schwinn's top of the line road racing bikes during that era, when Schwinn was still considered to be a serious bike manufacturer. I rode it for about two years on and off while in college and then put it in storage when my interests shifted to mountain biking. The bike comes equipped with all original parts including full Shimano 105 components. The only non-original part of the bike is the bar tape which I just purchased and rewrapped for selling the bike. Even the tires are the original ones that came on the bike, and they have very little wear. The bike has about 300 miles on it. After taking it out of storage I cleaned it up and gave it a tune-up. She's ready to ride. It is very clean and in perfect working condition. There are a couple minor things I should mention. The wheels are fairly straight but slightly out of true. In their current condition they are very rideable with no brake rub, but they could probably benefit from a professional re-truing from a local bike shop Also, on the top tube, two of the braze-on cable guides have been knocked off due to my clumsiness while putting the bike in and out of the back seat of my car before I finally invested in a car carrier. This bike has never been crashed or downed. I am also including the water bottle cages, a Paramount computer, and a Zephyl frame mounted pump.
As far as the size: the stand-over height from the floor to the top of the top tube at 33.5 inches. I took two measurements on the seat tube length... one from the center of the bottom bracket to the bottom of the top tube at 22.75 inches, and the other from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube at 23.75 inches.
I am asking $300 obo. If you have additional questions or would like more pictures please feel free to ask.

Why is the requirement for a certain distance from the unit (e.g. 10 feet) for return air access so close? I would think that it should be in a separate room with an auto-closing doorway between.
The return air system is a vital part of your overall heating/cooling system. If you place a closed door betweem the return air registers and the rest of the house, there would be only limited air flow and the whole heating/cooling system would suffer. Would create hot/cool areas where you do not want any. It's all a trade-off but better to have good air circulation and more even heat/cool.
Actually, what I meant was how can the return air be allowed to be so close to the unit, especially on a low, gravity fed, or standard efficiency unit where the negative pressure from the return air can draw combustion gasses back down out of the flue into the furnace closet? Wouldn't it take a door and some greater distance than that to keep this from happening?

I'm going to be putting a new set of bars on my road bike so I thought I'd replace the cables as well - they're about five years old now.
Problem is there is no bike shop for 200 miles & I don't know which cables to purchase.
I have Shimano Dura-Ace components.
Any help would be appreciated.

World Briefing | Africa: Liberia: Taylor Should Face Court, New Leader Says
Published: October 28, 2003
Charles Gyude Bryant, head of the new power-sharing government, said the former warlord-turned-president, Charles G. Taylor, should leave his exile in Nigeria and stand trial at the United Nations-backed Sierra Leone court that has accused him of war crimes there. ''I think Taylor should go to the court in Sierra Leone and face the tribunal and exonerate himself from the charges made against him,'' Mr. Bryant said, adding, ''It's only honorable.'' Mr. Taylor has been fighting the indictment. His lawyers are to argue his appeal in Sierra Leone on Friday.

I recently purchased a Vaio CR410E with Vista pre-installed, and decided to
rely on my school's anti-virus software (Sophos) as my primary anti-virus
program since I have used it before and is vista compatible.
After I uninstalled Norton, I began to get a pop-up in the beginning when i
start windows that says:
Molebox Launcher fatal error!
..DLL corrupt
i've tried everything, from my Sophos anti-virus scanner, to Spybot, to
cleaning up my registry with CCleaner to System Restore, but nothing! Other
forums have proved largely unhelpful, or at least i'm not turning up the
right pages in my search. Does anyone have any advice? It disappeared for a
little bit at some point, but when icame home tonight and turned my laptop
on, the same message popped up.

March 21st 1863.
Hearing nothing from Admiral Porter I have determined to send you a barge of coal from here. The barge will be cast adrift from the upper end of the Canal at 10 O'clock to-night Troops on the opposite side of the point will be on the lookout and should the barge run into the eddy will start it adrift again.
Admiral Porter is now in Deer Creek, or possibly in the Yazoo, below Yazoo city. I hope to hear from him this evening. As soon as I do I will prepare dispatches for Gen. Banks and forward them to you.
I have sent a force into the Yazoo river by the way of Yazoo Pass. Hearing of this force at Greenwood Miss. and learning that the enemy were detaching a large force from Vicksburg to go and meet them determined Admiral Porter to attempt to get gunboats in the rear of the enemy. I hope to hear of the success of this enterpris soon.
I am Admiral
Very respectfully
Your obt. svt.

ALS, DNA, RG 45, Area 5. O.R., I, xxiv, part 3, 123; O. R. (Navy), I, xx, 7. An undated letter from Rear Admiral David G. Farragut to USG was received on March 20, 1863. "I herewith transmit to you, by the hand of my Secretary, a despatch from Maj : Gen'l N. P. Banks; it was sent up to me the evening I was to pass the Batteries at Port Hudson. Having learnt that the Enemy had the Red River trade open to Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and that two of the Gun Boats of the upper Fleet had been captured, I determined to pass up, and if possible, recapture the boats and stop the Red River trade, and this I can do most effectually, if I can obtain from Rear Admiral Porter or yourself, coal for my vessels;—by my trip up the River I have become perfectly acquainted with the Enemy's forces on the Banks and his boats in the adjacent waters. I shall be most happy to avail myself

The Taylorsville City Commission has discussed for some time concerns surrounding groups and organizations soliciting money at the city's intersections, especially the busy Ky. 55 and 44 intersection near Spencer County High School.
Events such as the Spencer County High School Project Graduation and the WHAS-11 Crusade for Children benefit from collecting at intersections, but some commissioners have received feedback that there are too many groups soliciting.
The trial of a woman charged with reckless homicide in the death of a teenager after a prom party in 2009 has been postponed.
Angela Barkham, 40, of Inghram Lane, was indicted and charged with reckless homicide in the death of Donald C. DeJesus, Jr. after a prom party in May 2009.
Barkham's trial was scheduled to start this past Monday, but after a hearing Thursday on a motion to change the venue and move the trial out of Spencer County, Circuit Court Judge Charles Hickman decided not to rule on that motion, but to continue the trial date until July 25.
Roland Moore wanted Fairfield residents to know the decision about closing the town's post office has not been made.
It was a point Moore, the Dunnville postmaster, stressed during Monday night's meeting to hear feedback from Fairfield residents on the possible closure.
As a postmaster at a small post office himself, Moore said he has been designated to talk with people in many of the communities facing possible closure of their post offices.
A 2009 Spencer County High School graduate was killed in a one-vehicle crash early Sunday morning.
Cody L. Klefot, 19, of Taylorsville, was traveling north on Dale Lane when he lost control of his 1999 BMW and left the roadway around 1:29 a.m., according to Kentucky State Police. Police said Klefot's vehicle struck a tree and he sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
There were no other passengers in the car and Klefot was wearing his seat belt, according to police.
Raymond Revard appeared in Spencer County Circuit Court on Thursday, but not to stand trial — just yet.
Revard was indicted on charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence in the alleged shooting death of his wife, Lea Revard, in 2009.
Revard appeared in court last week for a pretrial conference, the result of which is another pretrial conference scheduled for April 20 at 1 p.m. in Shelby County.
A jury trial, however, is scheduled in Spencer County from June 27-30.
The 536 Taylorsville Water Works customers who pay for both water and sewer services can now get a better idea of how an impending rate increase will affect them.
The Taylorsville City Commission moved in a special session Feb. 28 to advance with a state-mandated project to upgrade the city's current wastewater treatment facility, which is estimated to cost $3.4 million. Although more than 58 percent of the project will be funded by grants, the city will be left with repaying a $1,410,000 loan, most of which will be passed on to ratepayers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fwG3m0w0t9g They made it short, only a little over 2 minutes, even though the whole routine was 10 minutes long. Was hoping I would see myself briefly in the video but unfortunately for me I don't. Bummer. Maybe next time.

I can't find the helicopter video :(

Ok, I uploaded the video again and didn't let YouTube apply the image stabilization. I was surprised watching it again how shaky it came out, especially the 1st 2 minutes, so not sure if this one looks that much better, it's shakier but the other one is a little distorted, a bit blurry and wobbly. So I'll leave both up and let you decide which of the two look better or worst. Hopefully no one will get motion sickness watching it. lol Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdUIuIGDy6E
1 · July 3, 2012
this time won't let YouTube try to take the little shakiness off with their stabilization software, it just makes it look worst. Since uploading it again will take several hours, here's the link to this one so you can view it tonight, by tomorrow it'll be replaced with a better copy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glR5VA8USzc

Ok, I uploaded the 2nd video, it actually finished uploading a couple of hours ago but I just got a chance to view it and just noticed that YouTube messed it up. When the upload was finished YouTube had a message saying they notice my video is a little shaky and asked if I wanted it fixed, so I clicked yes hoping it will remove some of the shakiness but it came out pretty bad, I can see a lot of blurring and it even slow it down a bit, so I'm going to upload it again and
1 · July 2, 2012
I'll post the link to my 2nd video here as soon as it's uploaded. Susan already shared the link, above here in the comment section, to the 1st video. The 2nd video came out shaky. It was windy and I didn't keep the camera steady enough while holding it with one hand and walking around, hadn't used it in a while and forgotten how shaky the video it records can be if not kept as steady as possible. I will have a couple of additional, shorter videos but these 1st two will be the best ones.
0 · July 2, 2012
Last night I had trouble with 2nd video, the audio from one of the clips in it would disappear, tried saving it 5 times and same thing kept happening, so I had to remove the clip and add again and the 6th time I saved it finally worked. But during upload Windows decided to update and restart my computer so the video didn't get upload it last night while I was sleeping like I was hoping. Uploading it now. Since it is also 10 minutes long it will probably take over 4 hours to upload to YouTube.

It's the entire 10 minute flash mob dance routine, recorded during rehearsals between 11:30 and 11:40am. Took over 4 1/2 hours to upload last night. I just started uploading the 2nd video, the of the clips I recorded during the flash mob at Pier 84. I'm going to sleep and hopefully when I wake up in about 6 hours the video will have finished uploading.

great experience. so much fun. really enjoyed it but please be prepared for a large crowd next time. its better to be over prepared than under prepared. anyone who confirmed their rsvp should have had a spot guaranteed for them as long as they showed up by 9am when check in was scheduled to end. and a shirt! also maybe have people rsvp with their shirt size to make sure people will get a shirt that fits them well and they would possibly wear again.

I showed up at 8:50, within the time limits of check-in (8-9), and was told not only that they were at capacity for participants, but that they had been since BEFORE 8:00 that morning. I understand that the organizers didn't anticipate as many people would show up as did; apparently at all their other events only a quarter of RSVPers actually arrive, and they didn't realize that New Yorkers were as enthusiastic as we are. What I DON'T understand is why nobody sent out an email as soon as they ran out of room--or at any point in the day! I'm sure people continued to show up all morning, with no indication that they wouldn't be able to participate. The organizers could have saved a lot of people the trip and at least a little bit of the disappointment felt at being excluded. In addition, it's strange to me that nobody took down the participants' names or gave them shirts at the Friday rehearsal. People who took the time to show up on Friday should have had a place held for them.

My longest tour was about 6 months and a long time ago; from Brussels to Cairo through Belgium, The Netherlands, Belgium again, France, Monaco, Italy, Austria, daytrip through Germany, two days in Slovakia, Hungary, bit of Yugoslavia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. This was my first-ever tour and was an attempt to go around the world. The rest of the trip should have been back through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, somehow get into Tibet and then through China to reach the Pacific, tramp steamer it across to LA and, then, across North America to Montreal.
I currently have more than enough funds to actually finish the trip without staying in US$1 hotels (yes, there are those but you wouldn't want to touch the bathroom walls!) but I'm a cautious fellow.
Dream tours would include the Silk Road, China (Beijing to HK), circumnavigate Australia, circumnavigate NZ, and Cairo to Cape Town but all of these will have to wait until probably retirement. Life's a little complicated at the moment so any future rides (depending on job situation) will probably be; Toronto-Montreal again, the Lighthouse route on PEI so I can say that I've done all of PEI, Cabot Trail again and/or do the southern route, and circumnavigate Vancouver Island.

Hmmm I haven't toured yet. Well when I was 16 (30 years ago) I rode my Schwinn 35 miles to my cousin's house spent the night and then rode back the next day ...
Seriously tho I am looking at the week long tour thru Colorado for 2007
haven't gone yet but am leaving in 2 weeks (!!) on a 2.5 month tour from Pennsylvania to Oregon.
Had 23 months on the road touring around Australia on our recumbent trikes and had a blast.Originally Posted by Machka
We are now in the final stages of planning our North American ride. Starting here in Perth, Western Australia we intend to ride across to Melbourne before flying to friends in Calgary, then a flight up to Prudhoe Bay before the real ride starts.
From Prudhoe Bay we will ride back to Calgary via the Yukon and BC, then down into and around the USA if we can get long term, multiple entry visa's. If we cant get the US visa's we want we will do Alaska, Canada, some of the US (Death Valley, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon), and then go to Europe and maybe ride home.

I voted "about a month", as my 2 previous long tours were just shy of a full month each.
I'm off for my "big one" on tuesday.
I've honestly no idea how long nor far I'll be touring. The current plan is to hopefully get to Lhasa from Paris before it's too too cold, then see how my finances, mental and physical health are. If everything's peachy (as I imagine they will be), I'll continue on for another 6-8 months or so.
mmmm coffeee!

I haven't toured but am planning to go to Joshua Tree National Park and touring around the park next weekend (4/21-23). I'm taking my bike there with my vehicle, camping and riding the bike around from there.
I consider this a "tour" but is it a tour if you start out with a bike loade on a vehicle?
Have I mentioned that I love riding my bikes?

My longest tour was a two year round-the world tour. loved it, and planning to do a 2nd one from 2010 to 2012.
Bike it you'll like it!
I voted one two weeks. six days to cross Nevada. about same from Monterrey, Ca to LA.
Longest might be two weeks. But not continous? still one tour. rode from outside Paris to St. Malo to Anger( where our tour encountered the TDF.) but after Anger motored the bikes to Macon, Burgundy and rode for almost another week. One two week tour. Well, does not the TDF take days off between stages and transport their bikes somewhere else.
So far my longest tour has been 18 days from oregon to tijuanna last year. This year I'm leaving late may or early June and going coast to coast.
Six months across Europe. Best decision of my life.
Dead last finish is better than did not finish and infinitely better than did not start.
I did 3 months (90 days) in Australia and it was the best decision of my life too .... so far! Those long distance tours can really change your perspective on life, and open your eyes to a whole other world out there!Originally Posted by Blackberry
I would love to go on a six month tour but could never afford to take six months off.
How do you do it? are you independantly wealthy or what? How much does it cost to go to Europe and ride around on a bike for six months?

Took 12 months off work and spent 10 of it in Australia, about 11,000 miles, and one month in Fiji, about 300 miles. I have to say the month in Fiji had more of an impact than OZ although I really loved the desert. Something about riding in a 3rd world country and going through small villages and everyone yelling, "Bula". Very friendly, authentic, non-touristy (as long as you stay away from the beaches) place to visit and I am sure that can be said about most 3rd world areas. I am all for getting a way from the tourist track and as much as I loved Oz, that's pretty hard to do there.

Both Australia and England cost me about $30/day (give or take a bit), so for 3 months that came to about $2700 + the airfare which was about $2000-ish = about $5000.00.
I sold, tossed, gave away, and packed all my stuff ... the stuff I kept (probably about 1/3 of what I originally owned) went into storage in my parent's basement. I gave up my apartment (the lease was up anyway), and handed over my cats to my mother (who loves cats). And then I was off!!
Oh yes, I also quit my job, before I went, because I made the decision to return to University when I got back to get my Bachelor of Education ... which has been considerably more expensive (and difficult) than going to Australia for 3 months!!
When I finish my B-Ed, my plan is to start travelling around the world, getting teaching jobs here and there to support my cycletouring "habit".
That's how I did it and how I plan to continue doing it ... but I, too, would love to hear from others who have done even longer tours, and how they did it! I see we've got some year + responders, and I'd especially love to hear from them!!
Everything Machka said.Originally Posted by Makeitso
And from my own perspective- Didn't have a mortgage or any family repsonsibilities at the time, had saved a few bucks and off I went. Believe me, I'm not wealthy by any traditional definition. But I travelled very cheaply, camping, staying in youth hostels and cooking most of my own meals much of the time. It's amazing to realize how much stuff we have that we don't need--and that actually encumbers our lives.
Another amazing thing is how many people offered hospitality, meals, etc. I never asked for it or expected it, but many wanted in some way to participate in my adventure. I was grateful to accept their kindess.
Bottom line: I really, really wanted to do it and found a way.
Oh--and one more thing about Europe. Generally speaking, the further south you go, the less expensive it is. Not always. But often enough.
Dead last finish is better than did not finish and infinitely better than did not start.
My longest was a month-long tour from Moncton to Prince-Edward Island, then Newfoundland and back all the way through Nova Scotia, the East and North side of New Brunswick, and in Québec the Charlevoix area... til home in Trois-Rivières.
Apart from that I have done lots of 1-2 week tours.
Lately, I have done two 4-day tours and one 11-day tour with my eldest daughter and one 4-day tour with both of them. I'm planning another one this summer which might be a mixed formula : 2 weeks with both of them and 1-2 weeks riding all by myself, who knows.

Joanne and I went around Oz and for the first 12 months I was on Long Service Leave (from the Royal Australian Navy) but the second half was living on savings (no military pension because of being in a different scheme). We kept a pretty good journal (including costs) and it worked out at $67 per day for the two of us, and that included a storage unit for our belongings, private medical insurance, phone account, internet account etc, etc. We cooked our own meals only rarely bought a meal or other items we didn't need. We paid $24 for a campsite once so we then camped "stealth" wise, each night in the bush was another $24 saved!
Our upcoming trip to North America and who knows where, will be totally funded by savings. Both of us are currently working and living as minimal as possible, and saving like there is no tomorrow. By the time we hit the road it will be 3 years since we returned from our round Oz journey and in that time we anticipate that we will have saved enough for a 3 year trip (we hope). When we leave we will also have reduced our household stuff (like you did), sold our car, and got rid of all other non-touring shackles. We will have a small storage unit for our meagre belongings. We rent as opposed to own a house so we will just pack up, clean the house, return the keys and ride away
Our plan, like our last trip, is to camp in the bush on the side of the road or wherever there is a free, or very cheap place to stay, live clutter free, and to "live" on the road as opposed to "sight-see" all the time. That means we will do most of the natural sight seeing but not the commercial stuff.
When we return to Oz, we intend to continue to ride and tour, but will stop here and there to work and will also take up Wwoof(ing) - www.wwoof.com.au. We did some of that last time and it was a great way to have somewhere to stay, get fed, meet interesting people and reduce the flow of money from the bank account all for a little bit of labour.
So, our method of affording it is to - save some money and then spend it very wisely on the road.
Would love to hear other year+ touring ideas from you and other posters.

I've done about 20 three month tours - mostly summer since I teach - but when I was in the restaurant business in Jackson - the fall was a slow time and a perfect time to tour. My first cross-country trip back in 1987 was in the fall, too.
Well I'm running my own business and have a mortgage, two car payments and one kid still at home so I may have to wait for my long tour sure sounds great to do and I love hearing about the experiences.
Have I mentioned that I love riding my bikes?

My longest tour so far was with 3 college friends right after graduation (2001) from Vancouver, BC to Crescent City, CA in 10 days. Two of the guys continued to Tijuana; I went home to work. For some stupid reason, I thought I was almost out of money and needed to start my career. That was very silly of me. My wife and I did an 8 day tour in the San Juan Islands, WA in April 2005. It was her first tour, and an amazing experience for both of us. Everything worked out perfectly, even the weather. We're planning a 6 month zigzag tour across the US from Portland, OR up to Maine, then down the Atlantic coast. Unfortunately, we have to wait until 2008 for that. Until then, lots of weekend trips and maybe a couple weeklong adventures are in the works.
I love reading about everyone's past, present, and future adventures. Keep 'em coming!
The longest tour was in 2001 ,I did Portland Oregon to Portland Maine, then to the UK ,Lands End t John O'Groats.
25,000 miles in 30 months. Euope, Asia, Australia / NZ, North America and East Africa.
4,000 miles in 6 months. South America.
Now planning a 18 month trip in Asia, China and maybe back to Africa.
Cycle touring is great.
Don't know if you're heading straight west or northwest but if you do a big 100 mile first day and need a place to stay in Kent, OH, drop me a line. We're a couple poor graduate students but I'd be interested to talk bikes and give you a bed.Originally Posted by srrs
Took a group of 16-18 year old boy scouts out for a car supported weeklong mountain bike trek last year down the Arizona trail. Can't wait to do it again with my kids unsupported.

"Menton" Top 5 Page for this destination Menton by TRimer
Menton Travel Guide: 136 reviews and 320 photos
Menton is the last town on the coast before the Italian border.
Menton is situated on the Golfe de la Paix (Gulf of Peace), on a rocky promontory that divides the bay in two. The fishing town, the older part with its narrow streets, is in the east; the tourist zone and residential belt are in the west.
Menton was part of the Principality of Monaco until 1861 when it was sold to France along with neighboring Roquebrune. The town became well known as a health resort at the end of the nineteenth century and was visited by large numbers of royalty and aristocrats from abroad, especially from England.
The town center just behind the seafront is one of the most beautiful anywhere on the coast. The architecture here is superb, turn of the century hotels stand alongside huge Italianate palaces.
Menton is one of the most colorful towns on the Riviera and all of the town's gardens are full of beautiful flowers and semi-tropical plants. Menton is world renowned for the growing of Oranges and Lemons and this is celebrated with the Lemon Festival in February which attracts over 300,000 visitors every year.
- Pros:Picturesque Little Town
- Cons:The Promenade is full of Touristy Shops
- In a nutshell:More Italian Riveria than French

My years of being called "Mommy" are long past. At the ripe old age of 44, I am looking forward to the birth of my sixth grandchild any time now. Over time, I have learned many lessons on being a parent… many are things you younger Moms have yet to even imagine. I have often thought of writing to each of you, hoping to impart wisdom and help make your own journeys a bit easier. Something always held me back, though: what makes me so arrogant to believe that anything I learned or have to say will be of any value at all in the face of today's challenges? I sat back and commented on articles whenever I could find words to convey something uplifting and otherwise held myself in check – until today. My own "baby," herself a Mommy to the most amazing little two-year-old boy on the planet with her daughter due very soon posted an adorable photo on Instagram that hit my Facebook feed. As I grinned that special goofy Nana grin, the smile faded as I read her caption: "Please excuse the explosion of toys…"
Enough, y'all. My daughter is by far not the only Mommy I see apologizing all over social media for something or another. Do you have any idea how many photos and videos my daughters have convinced me NOT to share of my babies because they felt their house was too much of a disaster to be posted on social media? I mean, seriously – God forbid the rest of the world see that you cannot eat off their floors every moment of every day. I have had it, Moms everywhere! YOU should have had enough of this, as well.
WHY are you continually apologizing if there are toys or a few outfits in the background of an otherwise great photo? Who cares if nothing else in that picture of your little one is not perfect? You are choosing not to share that moment with the rest of us – your friends and family who adore you and that precious face in the photo – because of some weird insecurity. Guess what? NO ONE GIVES A CRAP!
Stop it. Stop apologizing because your little one is not perfectly put together. Stop saying you are sorry when there are toys on the floor, a basket of unfolded clothes off to the side or even a complete disaster in the living room. We get it. You have a child – or several of them. I replied to my daughter's comment today by saying: "why would you be ashamed of this? There are no dirty dishes or rotten food lying about. There is not trash piled high. Your baby boy is not surrounded by filth. You should be happy and proud that you have a happy, healthy and well-adjusted toddler who loves to play. Yes – you cleaned twenty minutes ago and those toys are already everywhere again. Camden chooses to live life out loud… and boy oh boy is he loud at times. Too many children cannot do the same. So many live in that filth you somehow have come to perceive that is in the background of your photo. Suck it up, buttercup. Until those little ones are long gone from your home, it will NEVER BE COMPLETELY CLEAN for long. When the day comes that it finally is, I promise you will shed a tear and wish that mess back."
My own apartment is stupid clean as I look around. It even smells clean. Four of my grandbabies are out in Connecticut while I live here in Indiana where I grew up. I see them four times a year and it crushes me heart when I'm not with them. Their momma actually apologizes to me when I FINALLY get there after months apart if their home is not spotless. WHAT?! I don't give a crap about any of that. The only thing that matters to me during those precious three weeks is soaking up every single moment – every hug, every kiss and all of the moments that I can store until the next time. Leave the stupid dishes in the sink until tomorrow and spend time with me once the kids are asleep, my girl, because you and I don't get to see each other often enough. Laundry can wait until then, as well. I will even help you do it! Let's just sit here and enjoy a glass of wine and laugh about every silly thing those amazing kids have done today. I miss you, my beautiful and amazing oldest girl, so much that it hurts me every day. I am proud of you – the Mommy you are and the way you are raising those babies. I'm NOT proud that you think you have to be perfect. I hope I did not teach you that. If it is a product of our "times," then our times frankly suck.
To my youngest – I know how exhausted you are. We live less than fifteen minutes apart and yet I rarely see you. You have been working full time, going to college full time and managing a two-year-old who is all boy while being pregnant. Why did you apologize for his toys being in that hilarious picture of him with his silly new pose for the camera? Do you really think I – or anyone else who loves you both – would have even noticed if you had not mentioned it?
I would give anything to have a mess in this too-quiet apartment right now. It would mean that my family is around me, living life loudly WITH ME – the way it was meant to be.

A basketball coach takes over a young program, and then that program goes on long playoff runs that result in trophies at state tournaments.
Sounds a lot like a Union High School coach.
Blake Conley, 28, has been hired as the new boys basketball coach at Union, leaving Kingston High School after four successful seasons.
"I'm really excited to be a Titan," Conley said. "It's a dream job."
Interestingly, Kingston and Union opened the same school year, 2007-08. Kingston went 1-38 in its first two years before Conley took over in the third year.
In his first season, the team won 13 games. The next two, the Buccaneers placed third in the Class 2A Washington state tournament.
Conley will replace Maco Hamilton, who led the Titans to three trophies at state in their first six seasons of existence, including the Class 3A state championship in 2010. Hamilton resigned to become the head coach at George Fox University.
"Only a handful of jobs that we would have uprooted our family and leave for, and Union was one of them," Conley said. "The timing worked out for us."
Cale Piland, Union's athletic director, said Conley had several recommendations and has a proven track record.
"Third in state in two of the four years he's been a head coach really speaks to his ability to run a program at a very high level," Piland said.
Conley said he was impressed when he visited the school, with Union's "vision for athletics," the support from the administration, and the fact that most of the coaches are teachers in the building.
Conley will be an English teacher at Union.

I think the market is oversold in the short term and will rally to close up 6 points. Let me know what you think the market will do tomorrow and why. I would especially like to hear from the great market guru himself, market kibbles. Time for you to show the board how smart and bold you are.
"Oversold" and "overbought" mean very little when the market isn't trading on fundamentals. The market is oversold in that *any* drop is an overreaction to a market that ought to be going straight up because of Fed intervention and foreign money looking for better returns. RSI indicates it's overbought, but it's been overbought almost the entire year and may continue to be overbought for may more months as it reaches new highs.
The market may go up this week, or it may go down a little. The only sure thing is that VXX will go down.
That's a really tough call at this point. The trend appears to be up, but it could change at any moment. Many trend reversal indicators are in place. It is extremely risky to be in stocks right now, even for a short term trade. The best bet, would be to do something else completely unrelated to stocks. Look away....It's Hideous!
You sort of remind me of the mindless in 1999 saying " you just don't understand internet stocks " yes I know they are 80 to 1 PE but thats " normal " its the classic loser STAY IN until you lose it all .
repeat of Friday but it wont trace back. Guess!
We are now in a liquidity driven market; as long as there is money available there is no better place to invest it than the stock market. Those trading the market on fundamentals are losing (at least in the short term) as the market will continue to churn higher with the increasing (and excessive) levels of liquidity. Right or wrong, the markets do not care, they simply react to whatever stimulus has the greatest impact.
At some point either fundamentals will catch up or the value of the dollar will dramatically decline or both. Regarding the later point, I am of the opinion that the Money Masters will not allow precious metals to substitute for the dollars inflation value. Welcome to the new world financial order.
Markets go higher!
QE money inflows seek a place to "land"...accounting for the artificial uptrend. A big scare or black swan is necessary for a significant drop.
Oversold?? By what measure? In any case, it'll be an up day. As will every day forever and ever.

Wolverine #1 Marvel NOW! (2013) review
Paul Cornell takes over as writer of "Wolverine" as the new Marvel NOW! series gets started. He's joined by classic "X-Men" artist Alan Davis, inked by Mark Farmer.
It's the first of the four-part story "Hunting Season," and readers are immediately dropped into the story, as Wolverine is healing from a particularly deadly attack.
A man with a powerful, science fictional weapon is killing hostages, and Wolverine is caught inside the building. The man thinks he's killed Wolverine, but doesn't account for the mutant's healing factor. Wolverine must stop the aggressor and save the man's son, but another twist is yet to come.
Cornell's "Wolverine" seems set up almost as a police procedural with Wolverine at its center. Cornell's take on the character is reminiscent of Chris Claremont solo adventures. While this first issue is a slow burn of set-up, it's perfectly competent, with more of the mystery yet to be revealed.
What can be said about Alan Davis? He's a top-of-the-line professional with tons of X-Men experience. His work here, particularly in Wolverine's reactions and facial expressions, is notable.
I can see a "Wolverine" title with Wolverine as an investigator being a solid draw; this Marvel NOW! issue is a good starting point.

text: I recently bought a new fluid trainer and I want something to track the cadence and power output from my workouts. Has anyone used Peak Training System? I haven't found too much in the Bike Forums about it. Are there any similarly priced competitors out there? PTS is going for $129.95.
