Final Stats
Northern Illinois Women's Basketball 2008-09
Northern Illinois vs. Western Michigan
January 14, 2008 - DeKalb, Ill.
WMU Head Coach Tasha McDowell
"We're obviously disappointed at the outcome. I felt we played a strong second half after not a good first half. Northern Illinois played real well, they had great play from their bench as well as their starters.
"At halftime, I challenged [Tiera Delahoussaye] to step it up. She's so important, gives us energy. We need her to play well. We need her to play a lot of minutes.
"In the first half, we settled for outside shots. In the second half, we attacked the basket. I felt we were hesitant in the first half and Northern Illinois took us out of our game. We like to run and we couldn't run.
"It's deflating a little bit [when NIU hit the three to start overtime], but we teach possession by possession. We had a miscommunication and we left one of their best three point shooters wide open."
Northern Illinois Head Coach Carol Owens
"It's good to be home. We spent most of the non-conference season on the road and we improved there. Now we have the opportunity to get in the flow at home. We came back off a five-day road trip and now we have three in a row at home and it's a chance to get that rhythm at home.
"We had a chance to get away with this game early but didn't do that. I'm very pleased with the win in MAC play, but in a couple of days, you are back at it. We got a balanced attack inside and outside, and rebounding has to be the key in that. All in all, I am pleased with the effort.
"[Going into overtime] I told them, we're going to win this game. And we came out and attacked the basket.
"Our starters continue to be consistent and we have a young bench. We have to rely on Jessie, Kylie and Sharí, the upperclassmen, to lead the way.
"Sharí had six rebounds in the first half and when she is rebounding that's going to help us. Ebony is going to draw a lot of attention from the other team, so when another guard is rebounding, that is key. Aileen is a big guard, she's very versatile, can handle the ball. She handles the ball well and with her size, that makes her hard to defend. I expect that kind of play out of Sharí and Aileen.
"We don't get outrebounded very much. I feel like when Ebony [Ellis] is not in the game, that hurts us. When Sharí is not in the game, that hurts. We're going to continue to work on it. If we take away half of their offensive rebounds, we have a sizable lead.
NIU Guard Jessie Wilcox
"When we score, we have enthusiasm and we play good defense. To open up [overtime] with a basket is good, it's a momentum changer. I try to take over the game, keep everyone under control. We lost that a little at the end [of regulation]. As the game goes on, after we started attacking, a lot of things opened up."

Ask my children which parent has more patience and they would unite in giving my husband pole position.
They see me as completely impatient, liable to snap at the slightest thing, while their image of my husband is likely to be that of a mild-mannered creature, dealing with any problems in a calm, measured way.
But this conclusion would be unfair and unjust, and the real picture is borne out by research.
A man's patience is more likely to snap more quickly than a woman's, a survey of 3,000 people discovered. When asked how long they would wait before walking off in a strop, five out of ten men would wait up to a minute, but only one in ten women said they would leave that quickly.
I lose my temper in our home because I'm usually on the front line. I'm at the sharp-end of the frequent disagreements between our daughters, and after refereeing for up to half-an-hour, I get to the point where I can take no more, and I explode.
Meanwhile, my husband is emotionally detached from all this. He's physically there – often in the same room – but has tuned his brain out of the fracas that is going on around him.
When, at last, he does tune in – usually after I prod him with a big, sharp stick – it takes only moments for him to erupt like a mighty volcano. So although I might appear to have a shorter fuse, it is actually a heck of a lot longer.
And I do get a bit irate when it takes my husband five hours to cook a simple meal, meaning we don't eat until midnight.
But ask my daughters who has the most patience in shops, and a different set of results will emerge. They have grown up with a man who only has to set eyes on Marks & Spencer to come out in a cold sweat; who can't face the queue at the supermarket if there's more than two people in it, and who often buys the most expensive thing on the shelves because it's the first thing he comes to.
He's worse on the phone, and cannot tolerate queuing systems at all, whereas, although I also hate automated services, I'm prepared to hunker down and sit it out.
Growing up, I remember my dad as far more impatient than my mum. If he asked us to do something, we would do it immediately, or suffer his wrath. And no-one would deny that male drivers waiting in traffic have far shorter fuses.
Patience is a virtue and we – men and women – could all benefit from lessons in it.

Proposed building may put strain on emergency services
December 15, 2011
GENEVA — The Walworth County Alliance for Children (WCAC) has a location and plan for a new building to house its services.
But the town Plan Commission isn't sure it wants the building on its side of the street. The WCAC is asking the town for a conditional use permit to build a 4,300 square foot building just west of the Health and Human Services Building in the W4000 block of Highway NN, to be called the Child Advocacy Center for Walworth County.
At the Nov. 28 Town of Geneva Planning Commission meeting, Bill Henry of Kehoe-Henry & Associates, an architectural and engineering firm from Elkhorn, sought to address the concerns of the plan commission. "We have an issue with the setting of the building," said Joe Kopecky, commission president and Town Board chairman. "Why don't they put it on the other side of the road so it will be in the city of Elkhorn rather than in the town of Geneva?"
At the current proposed location, fire and police protection for the new building will have to come from the town. If it's moved across the street, the facility would be in the city of Elkhorn.
Henry said there were several reasons why the site was chosen. Most importantly, the site is wooded and has a protected, residential look to it. Henry said the WCAC wants the building to be set in a homelike atmosphere, rather than a stark, institutional-like setting.
"They want it to be as residential appearing as possible," he said.
The proposed wood frame building with garage will also look more residential than institutional, he said. Henry said it might be possible to arrange for the Sheriff's Department to take over security at the facility. He said he would also talk with the chief of the Town of Geneva Police to get his views on the proposed building and its possible drain on town resources.
Henry said that under current plans, the county will retain ownership of the property, and the WCAC would be a tenant.
The WCAC proposal goes back before the town Plan Commission on Dec. 19.
WCAC must get county as well as town approval of its conditional use. A hearing before the county Zoning Agency is scheduled for Jan. 19. The Child Advocacy Center is currently located at the county Health and Human Services building, W4051 Highway NN.
The county's nonprofit children's advocacy program started in 1989 as the Children's Court Advisory Board established by Walworth County Circuit Judge Robert Kennedy. In the fall of 2007, the WCAC was established as a separate entity from the Children's Court Advisory Board to obtain a nonprofit tax exemption, as a privately funded organization. The group brings together professionals and citizens to make the public aware of child maltreatment, child sexual assault and abuse and to address concerns about children's roles in the criminal process. WCAC presents multiple educational seminars on a variety of topics, including presentations and training for law enforcement, parents and school staff, medical professionals and the state Legislature. One of WCAC's goals is to establish a Child and Family Center, where it can locate all of its services in one place. County District Attorney Phillip A. Koss is president of the WCAC board of directors.

Lamar Odom signed a contract and headed to Spain earlier this month. However, after suffering an injury, he is back in the United States after leaving the team behind. If that isn't enough, it sounds like he is ready to come back and win back his wife, even though she has filed for divorce and essentially given up on their marriage. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 19, Lamar Odom is now revealing that he is more than eager to make it work with Khloe Kardashian and now that he is back from Spain, he is ready to work for it.
"I want to make it work with Khloé," Lamar has said after returning home. "I'm going to see Khloe. I'm going to see her soon." Of course, Khloe has a different view on their relationship, because she is planning on moving on. She has put their house on market and she is planning on moving ahead as a single lady. "We don't know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not," adding, kind of creepily, that Khloe will "always be [his] wife, no matter what."
Lamar doesn't seem eager to give up on Khloe, even though he didn't do much to save the marriage during the six months she was working hard to figure out what she wanted to do. But now that she has moved on, he wants her back. What do you think?

Two stories in the tech business produce a common lesson: tend to your own knitting. In the instance of Microsoft, Bill Gates has lamented publicly on many occasions that his shortcoming is his lack of creative invention, unlike Steve Jobs, for instance. Gates is an excellent CEO and manager, but as for product developer and inventor, he comes up short. Windows 8 was a disaster from which the company lost huge market potential, and from which it won't recover. Microsoft may have comfort in its business base, but that comfort zone may be an illusion, awaiting another genius to topple the empire. Speaking of which, another genius of sort is Jeff Bezos. Bezos lost $2 billion in a day after pitching the market on his idea to make some of its own deliveries instead of using commercial alternatives as it has in the past. The idea was to speed service to customers, but that took a bite from profits, without assurance that increased market share would offset the investment.
Bezos bit off The Washington Post too this past year at a time when "papers" and e-papers are doing well at all. Needed is dramatic invention that will rescue intellectual property producers that are serving vast publics that are accustomed to not paying for the product as advertisers must pick up the cost. Advertisers have many choices and the burden of delivering products with superior customer satisfaction is very high.
"Microsoft on mission to save Windows, but may not succeed
Javed Anwer,TNN | Apr 25, 2014, 02.19 PM IST
NEW DELHI: When Microsoft's newly-crowned CEO Satya Nadella came on the stage at BUILD 2014, the company's annual event a few weeks ago, he was asked why developers should create apps for Windows platform. The question was a telling example of how much Windows has slipped. In the good old days there were no qualms about developing for Windows. For developers looking to strike rich, it was the only viable platform."
"Jeff Bezos Loses $2.8 Billion In A Day
Amazon.com AMZN -9.9% was chipper late Thursday about its first-quarter earnings report.
On Friday, Wall Street offered its view about the results and the outlook. It wasn't pretty. Especially for founder and CEO Jeff Bezos.
The shares fell 9.9% to $303.83, their lowest close since Oct. 9, when they finished at $298.23. The percentage loss was its largest since Jan. 31, when the shares fell 11% after revenue and profits missed forecasts."

Yes, it's almost that time of year to "spring ahead" those clocks to enjoy an extra hour of daylight each day. So, when in 2014 does Daylight Saving Time go into effect? Mark your calendar and get set to change those clocks on Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 2 a.m. As posted by "National Geographic" on March 7, there are compelling arguments both for and against Daylight Saving Time. Those in favor of changing the clocks like the extra hour of daylight at the end of every day. Those opposed to it claim that the change doesn't actually save energy at all.
Whatever side of the fence you're on, Daylight Saving Time is coming, like it or not. According to ABC News, rolling the clocks forward one hour for Daylight Savings Time can be bittersweet for many. Katie Moisse wrote on Friday:
The switch signals spring, but delivers a blow to your sleep. For some – particularly those who aren't big on mornings to begin with – Daylight Saving Time takes a toll on mood and productivity, earning blame for car accidents, workplace injuries and stock market dips.
For some reason, the time change always catches parents by surprise. In order to avoid any confusion, set your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night before going to bed since Daylight Saving Time officially begins at 2:01 a.m. on Sunday, March 9 in 2014. It's also a great time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. To get ready for the time change, here's the 411 on DST and a bit of history about the time change.
The 411 on Daylight Saving Time
Many people refer to the change as Daylight Savings Time, but it is actually called Daylight Saving Time (no "s" after Saving). DST is not observed in Arizona, Hawaii and most of the United States territories, like Puerto Rico. Indiana was the last state to change over to Daylight Saving Time. It did so in 2005.
Federal law does not mandate that states must observe Daylight Saving Time. It is voluntary. However, if they choose to do so, the federal law does establish the dates the states must follow. From 1966-2006, these were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October. The government changed the dates in 2007. Now, clocks change the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. This change added a month to Daylight Saving Time.
DST was instituted in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October. During World War II, the government once again required the states to observe the time change. Between the wars and after World War II, states chose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the length of Daylight Saving Time. In 2007, Congress extended the length of Daylight Saving Time as part of its 2005 Energy Policy Act. The act extended the period of DST by four weeks in hopes that it would save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours. There is still a huge controversy surrounding the actual energy savings, with many critics saying that little or no energy is saved.
Fun facts about Daylight Saving Time around the world
- More than one billion people in about 70 countries around the world observe DST in some form.
- Most of Canada uses Daylight Saving Time.
- Mexico didn't adopt DST until 1996. Now all three Mexican time zones are on the same schedule as the United States.
- Also in 1996, members of the European Union agreed to observe a "summer time period" from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
- Most countries near the equator don't deviate from standard time.
- In the Southern Hemisphere, summer arrives when the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing winter. DST is observed from late October to late March.
- Three large regions in Australia do not participate in DST.
- China, which spans five time zones, is always eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and does not observe DST.
- In Japan, DST was implemented after World War II by the U.S. occupation. In 1952, Japanese farmers abandoned it because of strong opposition.
- Only parts of Brazil observe Daylight Saving Time.
- Kentucky and Tennessee have two time zones each, further complicating the time change.
- Interestingly enough, May 10 (one day after the time change in 2014) is National Nap Day.
Helping kids cope with Daylight Saving Time
Most families run on a pretty regular schedule, so nothing can make parents cringe like those three dreaded words, Daylight Saving Time. It means that kids' internal clocks must be reset as they adapt to the time change. The "spring ahead" time change is a bit more brutal than the one in fall because families lose an hour of sleep.
To help your own family adapt to the time change, discuss it beforehand. Let kids know that nighttime will come later than usual. This can mean one extra hour of outdoor play when the sun is shining. Babies have the hardest time adapting to any time change. Experts suggest that parents put their young children to bed ten minutes earlier each night for one week leading up to the time change. If babies want to wake up earlier, room-darkening shades can be used. Parents may observe that their baby (or child) is a little cranky or irritable after a time change. Overall, it takes a family about one week to adapt.
So, don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed on Saturday. Atlanta schools report an unusually high tardy rate on the first Monday following any time change.

Liz Marie, the gal behind Liza Marie Blog, got this old TV console from a Craigslist ad. When she brought it home, she discovered it was much more beat up than she had realized. So, she put some elbow grease into fixing it and giving it a painted makeover.
Once the console was painted, Liz Marie realized that it could potentially be a much more versatile piece of furniture than she had realized. So far, she's tried styling it as a mudroom/storage bench, extra seating, and as the media cabinet it was meant to be. It looks and works great as all three! Seeing Liz Marie's takes on the different uses for a single piece of furniture really got my mind working on how to switch up things at my own house.
You can view all of Liz Marie's different styling ideas for a console like this at Liz Marie Blog.

Charice Pempengco hasn't performed outside of the Philippines for a while, but she returned to the world spotlight for a special concert in Dubai. The entertainer seemed full of energy and offered her fans a great show in conjunction with the ASAP Live in Dubai on Friday. According to The National on Thursday, the star-studded concert was brought to life by The Filipino Channel and the fans packed in the stands to catch a glimpse of the stars.
Charice got her start as a teen with her first album debuting on the Billboard 200 chart. Fans really started to appreciate the singer after her television appearances including those on "The Ellen Show" and "Oprah Winfrey Show." Worldwide the star seemed to make an impression with sold out shows in America, Asia and even her home country of the Philippines.
While Charice Pempengco fans are extremely supportive, the star seems to have stepped back after a death in the family. Taking part in "X Factor" as a judge, Charice seemed to focus less on her music and more on the business.
Seeing Charice in Dubai gives fans in America hope that she might return to the USA in the future to perform. Of course if viewers can't wait that long, then it is necessary to check out the video clip of Charice performing in Dubai as the star looks happy to be performing!

The end of End-to-End?
A more non-technical argument by David Reed about why "End-to-End" matters in the design of the Internet.
END-TO-END ARGUMENTS IN SYSTEM DESIGN - J.H. Saltzer, D.P. Reed and D.D. Clark
David Reed is one of the designers of the underlying protocols that make up TCP/IP. This paper contains some of the critical arguments for why the Internet should work the particular way that it does and why specific features of the design matter. It takes some time and effort to think about, but is a key example of how technology design affects economic and innovation opportunities.
Financial Times: Intellectual property: The internet's undoing. Lawrence Lessig. This change alters a crucial premise of the original internet: that no one should exercise control over the platform to set "policy" about how the network would develop. By permitting such a fundamental shift, governments are allowing the enclosure of the innovation commons. That will destroy innovation.
In both architecture and content, changes to the network's original environment are being justified in the name of protecting "property". But this property-focused debate misses the equally important need to protect the innovation commons. Over-zealous protection of property rights can allow yesterday's property owners to stifle tomorrow's innovations.
Lessig is making an essential point here. The original design of the internet in terms of architecture and protocols has been essential to fostering innovation in applications and services. Efforts to exert "control" in a marketing sense will kill the goose laying the golden eggs. The challenge is that few of those trying to exploit the net or to set policy over it grasp the essential role of the underlying design. [Tomalak's Realm]
Traffic Discussion.
Quote: "Here, at Middlebury, teachers are beginning to actually come around to weblogs because of the comment feature: they like the way stories can be commented on, and they like the way the threads appear, actually."
An interesting thread on why so few people use threaded discussions, even when available, and what to do about it.
There's a behavioral change to be made in moving from email to discussion threads that probably has very little to do with technology features and functions. It's a very different kind of behavior and it's benefits are by no means evident. Further the benefits don't accrue to the individual poster as much as they do to the broader group.
NY Times: From April 4, 2001; Auditing Classes at M.I.T., on the Web and Free [Tomalak's Realm]
More coverage of MIT's OpenCourseWare efforts
The Chronicle of Higher Education: MIT Begins Effort to Create Public Web Pages for More Than 2,000 Courses. In the process, officials at MIT are finding that professors' skill levels vary dramatically when it comes to using the Web in their courses -- which could make it difficult to create a system that is flexible enough to meet everyone's needs. [Tomalak's Realm]
An update on the state of MIT's OpenCourseWare project. It helps sharpen the issues around whether that effort will be a significant element in eLearning efforts. Repurposing material that was originally designed with the assumption of face-to-face instruction as the core feature isn't likely to yield much. I suspect it will simply provide ammunition to those who want to believe that the current system can't be changed or improved on.

I remember reading about this geothermal project being cancelled due to concerns over (relatively) small seismic events caused by the drilling. Have there been any instances of, or reasonable scientific cause to believe a major seismic event might happen due to geothermal drilling?
Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: There's a statistically significant positive correlation between EGS and seismic activity.

Introducing: RC's BBQ at the MN State Fair

You've heard about the Potato Salad guy on Kickstarter haven't you? This dude puts up a page to raise $10, because he's never made potato salad before, and so far has ended up raising almost $50,000. Is it a hoax? Is it a publicity stunt? Is it a slow summer for many who need a laugh so bad that they'd donate $35 to this guy (529 so far)? I can't help but feel grossed out by it, even though at the same time I think Good On Ya if you ask someone for $10 and they give you $50K for free. Bigger picture I think it cheapens Kick-projects, and it makes it seem jokey. I thought that Kickstarter had a selection process that didn't allow everyone to be on the site, I know a few people who have not been allowed to try to fund their products and it seems sort of disjointed to then put this up. But it's happened before, in March some guy got $1,000 for his $8 goal to try a chicken burrito. I guess maybe I'm just unsettled by it, knowing that if this guy stood on a corner with a sign that said I need $10 for Potato Salad, do you think there's any chance he'd even raise $50? What does that say about us?
>> Guess what lovelies . . . Buster's on 28th has REOPENED!! It feels like the same old joint so get in there and give them some money.
>> Sisyphus Brewing has officially launched, and the taproom opens today! It's located in a warehouse behind Dunwoody, so maybe go grab a tap and see if you can't hear some Basilica overflow.
>> Cask Cookhouse is the new version of lobby bar replacing Bradstreet Craftshouse for the Loews Minneapolis, which was once Graves 601. In a nutshell: not a lot of change.
>> Minnesota's first Wingstop opens in Roseville today.
>> Liftbridge Brewery is opening its taproom on Sundays from now on, and they're kicking it off this weekend with a whiffle ball home run derby, some Chicago dogs, and free tours.
>> Mon Dieu! The Town Talk Diner will rise again in Frenchy fashion! This fall we will be able to welcome Le Town Talk French Diner & Drinkery in all its cod hot dish and bubbly drink glory. It's a "buvette" thing.
>> Cause Soundbar (which was Sauce at one time, remember?) will close after a bash this weekend. But it won't stay dark for long, as two Mac's Industrial vets are planning a sports bar called Iron Door Pub for the space, debuting in the Fall. And the DudeBro-ing of Uptown heads East.
>> The cute little 3 Tiers has closed, I liked them.
>> The Dean Vlahos takeover of Sunsets in Wayzata has changed names. It will no longer be known as Cru, it will now be CoV (cove). The site says that they just liked it better as they "started to get a better vision" for who they were. Probably has nothing to do with the fact that there's already a Cru at Grandview Lodge. Anyhoo . . . the opening has been set for July 31.
With all the All-Star craziness going on around town, don't forget about . . .
>> Barbette throws a wicked fun Bastille Day Block Party on Sunday with free live music and cake (natch).
>> Dragon Festival, with all the dragon boats, tasty egg rolls, and tri-color that implies, is at Lake Phalen this weekend.
>> Or get out of town and head to Tangletown's Wise Acre Eatery's Field Trip to the Farm Sunday. There might still be spots left for this picnic venture out to the farm in Plato for farmy fun. If you missed the Little Mekong Night Market last weekend, there's another one slated for July 26 (then again on Aug. 16 and Sept. 6) from 5-10 p.m. It's free to the public and there are plenty of food and craft vendors, plus cool music and dancing.
>> Finally, if you're thinking of hitting up All Pints North craft beer fest next weekend, there are still 10 spots left on this AWESOME TOUR PACKAGE where you won't have to drive and can possibly snooze on your way back from Duluth. If I didn't have a wedding that day, those seats would be mine.
>> For all of you feeling a little down, maybe you should just start Choppin' Broccoli.

Love Knot
By Susan Kirby
Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.Copyright © 2004 Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.
All right reserved.
Chapter OneJackson Sign Company was headquartered in the little farming community of Liberty Flats, Illinois, behind the home of Kate Grisham. Kate's granddaughter, Paula Jackson Blake, co-owned the business with her brother Jake. She and Jake and her sisters were throwing a garden party for Gram Kate's birthday. Friends and family visited in cozy clusters on the sweeping lawn and deep porches of Gram's inviting arts-and-crafts home. But in the kitchen where Paula was chastising her daughter Joy, the mood was anything but festive.
Joy's sullen demeanor heightened Paula's concern over the widening gulf between herself and her preteen daughter. At issue this time was Joy's transgression against Shelby, who had driven down from Chicago to attend the party for Gram Kate. Jake intended to ask Shelby to marry him. A close-knit family, Paula and her sisters, their husbands and children - everyone in the Jackson clan - were holding their collective breath on Jake's behalf.
With the exception of Joy.
"You liked her at first," reasoned Paula. "If you would give her a chance, I'm sure you could like her again."
"The way you're giving Dad a second chance?" returned Joy.
"This isn't about your father," Paula reasoned with studied patience. "We're talking about you hacking into Shelby's story. You invaded her privacy and you put Jake in a difficult position. He deserves better. Why, he's like a father to you."
"Uncle Jake wouldn't have to play father if you'd just told Dad about me in the first place. When are you going to get over it and let my dad be a real dad?" Joy cried as she fled the room.
Paula might have gone after her if not for her friend, Antoinette Penn. "Easy does it, she'll come to her senses," Annie said soothingly.
"I've taken leave of mine, letting her talk to me like that," muttered Paula. "That's twice she's wreaked havoc on that computer. First with Colt and now this. And right under my nose!"
"You're not blaming yourself, surely. Who'd dream she'd sneak a peek at Shelby's writing much less track down her father without leaving home?" Annie wagged her head. "It's off the subject, but I can't help thinking what a shock it must have been to the man to learn he had a twelve-year-old daughter."
"Shock is a positive pregnancy test, and Colt long gone," countered Paula.
After all these years, the void created by her husband Colt having walked out on her before she realized she was pregnant continued to have enormous repercussions. Paula swept dark-auburn hair away from her throbbing temples.
"I know Joy's frustrated by my stalling," she reasoned. "But what if I let her get involved with Colt only to find out he isn't a fit parent?"
"Why wouldn't he be fit?" asked Annie.
Grappling with a shame she didn't want to feel, Paula blurted, "He's homeless, Annie!"
Annie's eyes widened. "No way!"
"It's true," said Paula, though she could hardly believe it herself. "Shelby volunteers at a homeless shelter in Chicago. Jake tagged along to help one afternoon. Colt was there for dinner, and I don't mean to serve it."
"Are we talking about the same Colton Blake? The Voyager?" cried Annie, incredulous.
"Yes, the Voyager!"
It was the name by which the world at large knew Colton Blake. He had begun modeling for Wind, Water and Sky Outdoor Gear several years prior to meeting Paula. The sporting good company's ad campaign depicted him as a rugged outdoorsman clad in denim jeans, flannel shirt and leather boots. But it was the red knit voyager cap he wore that accounted for his now famous moniker. He embodied the unfettered spirit, and not just on billboards and in slick magazine ads.
Wind, Water and Sky Outdoor Gear used that one enduring image of Colt as the centerpiece of their ad campaign. Business had sky rocketed. The company was now a global enterprise. Which made it all the harder to explain how Colt could be reduced to living in a homeless shelter. In response to Annie's questions, Paula could only recount what Jake had learned from the mission director, Mr. Weaver.
"It seems Colt's recovering from an accident."
"What kind of accident?" asked Annie.
"Mr. Weaver didn't say. But Jake said it left him badly scarred."
Annie winced. "That can't be good in his line of work."

''No punishment is enough'' … Frederica Bromwich, the mother of Anthony Zervas, outside the court yesterday. She is struggling to deal with the death of her son. Photo: Jacky Ghossein
BIKIE boss Mahmoud ''Mick'' Hawi has been sentenced to at least 21 years jail for murdering a rival gang member in the 2009 Sydney Airport brawl, despite the sentencing judge finding he may not have actually inflicted a single blow on the victim.
Hawi, until recently the powerful national president of the Comanchero motorcycle clubs, sat expressionless in the dock as NSW Supreme Court Justice Robert Allan Hulme ordered that he not be released until at least November 2030 for the murder of Hells Angels associate Anthony Zervas during the brawl.
The 31-year-old was found guilty of the crime in November last year following a marathon nine-month trial in which six Comanchero were charged with murder but only he was convicted.
Anthony Zervas ... killed.
Justice Hulme described the fight, during which 29-year-old Zervas was bludgeoned with metal bollards, stabbed and stomped on in the Qantas domestic terminal, as a ''shocking and vicious'' crime which would ''live long'' in the memories of those who witnessed it.
''The deceased was killed in an act of retribution because he had the temerity to attack the president of the Comanchero - nobody was going to get away with doing that, least of all someone of the deceased's stature,'' he said.
Despite this, Justice Hulme said he was not satisfied that Hawi had inflicted the fatal blow on the 29-year-old or, in fact, ''inflicted any blows at all''.
Rather his guilt lay in being part of a broader assault or ''simply being there when it was occurring''.
Justice Hulme said that, as national president of the hierarchical Comanchero, Hawi had absolute power and that his presence ''would undoubtedly have had the effect of authorising and approving the actions of the man who bludgeoned Anthony Zervas to death''.
He also said that Hawi had had a prominent role in the events leading up to the brawl, particularly the mid-flight confrontation with the Hells Angels boss, Derek Wainohu, which preceded it.
Upon discovering that his rival was onboard, Hawi walked up and down the plane glaring at him before instructing two of his subordinates to ''get the guys to meet us at the other end''.
The violence began almost immediately after the plane landed, and flared into a full-blown brawl when 12 Comanchero confronted five Hells Angels in the middle of the busy terminal.
Hawi was sentenced to a maximum of 28 years in prison with a non-parole period of 21 years and six months backdated to May 2009 when he was first jailed.
Mr Zervas's mother, Frederica Bromwich, broke down in court after the sentence was read and nearly fainted outside court as - flanked by her daughters - she addressed the media.
''No punishment is enough for the loss of my son,'' she said.

I'm trying to compile the firmware for my linksys WRVS4400N.
ls shows that exist but when it try to run it bash says it does not exist. I can also
cat it, and it is an executable, not a shell script.
I'm trying to compile the firmware for my linksys WRVS4400N.
You mentioned that the output of
Just make a new 32-bit VM and compile it there.
Is it set to being executable? If not, then
When you try to execute a file and bash says it doesn't exist it sometimes means that bash believes the file is a script and that the interpreter specified in the first line (#!) does not exist.
If the files is named
The strace command give info about system calls made, for example
execve("/bin/ls", ["ls"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8061000 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f82000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=32311, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 32311, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7f7a000 close(3) = 0 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/librt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\240\30\0\0004\0\0\0"..., 512) =512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=30624, ...}) = 0
Are you changing IFS in your script? I too encountered the same problem in one of my scripts and thought the same (32 bit file being read by shell script on 64 bit machine). But that wasn't the issue in my case. Instead, I was changing IFS to comma ',' and back to new line which somehow confused the parser and caused this error.
I just removed any change in IFS and it works just fine now!!!

United Parcel Service (UPS-N) the world's largest package delivery company, reported a quarterly profit that beat estimates and raised its 2011 forecast, boosting shares in premarket trading.
"Given fears over weather and fuel in the quarter this was a very solid report," said Peter Nesvold, Jefferies & Co analyst.
"The most important data point in our view were the yield statistics, with global package yields up 5.2 pct year over year and we were modeling 3.7 percent," he said.
UPS handles goods equal to 6 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product and 2 percent of global GDP in its trucks and planes, so its shipment trends give a tangible view of consumer demand.
The company said revenues for U.S. domestic deliveries rose 6.2 percent, driven by higher rates and fuel surcharges. International deliveries revenue rose 10 percent, with gains from rate hikes and fuel surcharges partly offset by currency.
"So far the global economic recovery has been resilient," in the face of Japan's crisis, spiking fuel costs, North Africa and Middle East unrest, CEO Scott Davis told investors on a call.
The company forecast record profit in 2011.
The economic bellwether's first-quarter net income rose to $885 million US from $533 million a year before, and earnings per share rose to 88 cents from 53 cents.
Wall Street analysts were expect a gain of 85 cents per share, on average, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue rose to $12.58 billion from $11.73 billion a year ago. Analysts expected $12.72 billion in revenue.
The Atlanta-based company raised its 2011 share guidance to $4.15 to $4.40. from its February estimate of $4.12 to $4.35 a share.

Matt Fitzpatrick makes the British Masters title his at Woburn Golf Club in England.
Matt had a final round -3 under par 68 to win the British Masters with a -15 under par total, and a two shot winning margin from the chasing pack. This is his maiden European Tour win, a great day that he will remember forever;
"It's not going to sink in for a long time, I know that."
"It was a long day and I didn't really know what I had to do to win but I just sort of ground it out and managed to win. A great day"
"The fans have just been incredible to me and unbelievably supportive and I can't tell everyone how appreciative I am of that."
"Walking down every hole it's, 'Come on Matt' and it's amazing to have that support."
Tied in second place at -13 under par were Søren Kjeldsen, and Fabrizio Zanotti, both -2 under today, and Shane Lowry who climbed up the leaderboard with-4 under 67.
Søren had his chances dashed when he three-putted on the par five 15th, and followed that with a bogey on the 16th.
Shane dropped a shot on the 219 yard par three 14th, while Fabrizio carded back-to-back bogeys on 13 and 14.
Luke Donald finished in a four-way tie for fifth at -11 under par, along with Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Mike Lorenzo-Vera and Marcus Fraser.
Oliver Fisher and Tommy Fleetwood both carded last rounds of -6 under par 65, sharing ninth position with a whole bunch of players.
Graeme McDowell had a remarkable last round, shooting +1 over par 72 , which included an Eagle, four birdies, four bogeys and a triple bogey.
Tournament host Ian Poulter also had a final round +1 over 72 and finished way down the pack. I wonder if the responsibility of hosting left him unable to concentrate on his golf.

An architect and a man of science who never stopped experimenting with new ideas up to the day he died, Sinan created an architecture whose values remain universal even today.
Sinan is an architect who managed to unite in a single person the entire Ottoman architectural tradition in a period when the Empire's political power and artistic achievement were at their zenith. The vast majority, and the most distinguished, of the buildings he designed were built in the empire's then capital, Istanbul. Like a contestant in an architectural competition, he created ever more innovative works and made a significant contribution to the city's silhouette by situating them to the greatest possible advantage in the urban topography. Simultaneously, he transformed Istanbul into a virtual open-air museum of unique architectural masterpieces.
Sinan was born in the village of Ağırnas in the Ottoman 'sancak' or province of Kayseri at an unknown date (possibly between 1494 and 1499). While undergoing training as a boy for the Janissary Corps (the Ottoman military class), he already put in his request for the occupation of builder and went out of his way to work on construction sites so as to attract the attention of the master builders. He says that at such jobs he felt as 'resolute as the fixed point of a compass' although he also 'aspired to traveling in other lands like the compass's moving point'. That aspiration was fulfilled when, as a janissary during the reign of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, he took part in the Ottoman campaigns to Belgrade (1521), Rhodes (1522), Mohacs (1526), Vienna (1529), Germany (1532), and Persia and Baghdad (1534-35) and, despite a shortage of tools and materials, built three galleys armed with rifles and cannons to cross Lake Van for reconnaissance purposes. As a result of the engineering feats in which he had demonstrated his prowess in previous wars, he was promoted to the rank of 'Haseki' (sergeant at arms). A bridge he threw up hastily over the Pruth during the Moldova campaign of 1538 earned him great recognition, and he became 'Chief Architect' of the Ottoman Empire the same year upon the death of the previous chief architect, Acem Alisi.
The various cultural monuments of East and West that he saw on the campaigns in which he took part, the problems he encountered that needed quick solution, the discipline he acquired in the military, and his familiarity with supervision and organization must have given Sinan experience and insight as well as developing his talents for design and management. Serving as chief architect for the lengthy span of fifty years, Sinan during this period not only designed 477 buildings but also supervised the construction and repair of his designs. When we examine the life of Sinan we encounter the story of a creator who was never satisfied with what he did but was forever thinking, investigating and innovating further.
Sinan is an architect who made significant contributions to the design of mosques as the key spaces of Ottoman architecture. Haseki (1539), the first mosque he built after being appointed Chief Architect, is a traditional space typical of its period and exhibiting no innovations of any kind. But the Mihrimah Mosque (1540?-48) at Üsküdar, on which Sinan started work immediately afterwards, represents a turning point with its semi-domes that surround the main dome on three sides; before it was finished he embarked on the Şehzade Mosque as well. Starting from a single-domed structure on a four-pillar base, Sinan enriched the space by the addition of semi-domes, gradually elevating the central space and incorporating the entire structure inside a pyramid. The Şehzade Mosque is the most advanced example of a central dome atop a square base with four semi-domes. The buttresses that support the four pillars of this mosque are masterfully employed as design elements on both the interior and the exterior. If on the other hand they had been used purely for support, they might have appeared rather clumsy. Sinan would use such buttresses later in the Süleymaniye and Selimiye mosques as well.
Following the Süleymaniye, Sinan undertook a number of experiments on a hexagonal scheme under the influence of the Üç Şerefeli or 'Three-Balconied' Mosque that he had seen at Edirne. We observe in these experiments that the scheme of a central symmetrical space which he had implemented heretofore is extended now across the width of the mosque. Another problem whose solution Sinan discerned is that of surmounting a rectangular space with domes and semi- domes on a hexagonal scheme. Despite his firm attachment to the hexagonal pattern, we observe that Sinan returned occasionally to the square plan. And each return is characterized by further innovations and new initiatives.
Sinan never abandoned his quest for the new. The Rüstem Paşa Mosque with its dome that sits on an octagonal base is the product of yet another new design. The scheme with which he experiments here reaches maturity in the Selimiye Mosque at Edirne. With this mosque, which is not only the most beloved work of Ottoman architecture but also Sinan's own favorite, he truly achieved his desire to surpass the Haghia Sophia. Secure on its weight-bearing system, it stands simple and whole under a monumental dome, bearing no resemblance to the Haghia Sophia in terms of either its space or the weight-bearing capacity of its hexagonal and octagonal schemes. And with this octagonal scheme that is employed in the Selimiye to monumental effect, the Haghia Sophia ceases to be a benchmark.
Although architects did not occupy a very important place in government protocol during the Ottoman period, Sinan's position is quite different. Sinan, who designed buildings not only for three different sultans but for a large number of men of state as well, is known to have been a beloved architect of high standing. Charged by Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent with bringing water to Istanbul, Sinan successfully completed this extremely difficult and technically challenging job, thereby earning the sultan's appreciation, as is evidenced by the fact that he assigned Sinan the task of inaugurating a great mosque like Süleymaniye which he had had built in his own name.
"The large mosques, smaller mosques and other important structures, which I first designed on paper and then constructed, I wrote up and developed into a unique treatise of thirteen chapters and entitled, 'An Account of the Imperial Buildings'", says Sinan. "It is my hope that the friends of pure heart who will glance at it from now until the end of time will take a generous view of it when they realize the seriousness and striving of my efforts, and that they will remember me in their prayers with good will." This treatise, in the nature of a memoir in which he describes his life and works, documents the human acts of an ordinary human being. But when we consider his works and compare his complex designs and their implementation, which demanded so much knowledge and effort, with those of the West, Sinan emerges as a born genius who completed a large number of flawless monuments within a very short time.
Sinan was not blindly bound to tradition. He was a designer and a man of science who was analytical and open to new ideas, and who drew the correct lessons and inspiration from what he saw, forging a synthesis in accordance with his own views. Sinan, who continued experimenting and investigating right up to the end of his life, who found new solutions for problems of topography, composition, space, volume and structure, and who produced a wide range of advanced and original buildings, is an enduring icon of Ottoman, indeed of Islamic, architecture.

Could there be a better spring shade than coral? It's bright, but not overwhelming and it's vaguely tropical, but won't be out of place in the workplace (keep that sarong at home, sister!). Since we've yet to manage the coral lip color, we're flaunting our new favorite shade with Elizabeth Gillett's Summer Scarf ($98). This lightweight scarf has a simple pattern of leaves and feathers and just a touch of glam with itsy bitsy sequins!

Nice selection you have there, HotGuns.
hey you guys should check out shotgun news i have gotten alot of stuff from companys in that mag. but the ammo is the best that's what i love about the rifles is that you can get a yugo sks 3 clips and 500 rounds for $200.00!!!! :biggrin:
I would love to try a 91/59! And a Finn M39, but too pricey right now.
Speedstuff, Yugos take stripper clips, so I hope thats what you meant, not detchable magazines, which would have to be rebuilt to the "10 or less" line to be legal, considering the Yugo SKS is imported as a curio and relic. My wifes' Yugo cost $161 delivered to the front door from J&G sales, and thats' in unissued condition.

What is in this article?:
- Expensive fertilizer becoming bigger part of wheat production budget
- Deficiencies can be costly
- Phosphorous makes a difference
• Farmers need to fine-tune operations to make certain their fertility programs are as efficient as possible.
• Options should include annual soil tests, deep sampling, proper placement, proper timing and proper rate to mesh with intended crop use.
• Farmers also may want to look at organic fertilizer sources, such as chicken litter, but should be careful about non-traditional products that may not come with unbiased testing.
PROPER FERTILITY is an important consideration for a good wheat crop and with current high fertilizer prices growers need to make certain they apply nutrients efficiently and economically.
Deficiencies can be costly
Deficiencies can be costly. McFarland said nitrogen may be the most challenging to manage since it changes and transforms after application and may be lost to soil leaching or into the atmosphere.
"We recommend a split application for wheat," he said. "That way we make certain we have nitrogen available at peak demand and also minimize the potential for losses from heavy rainfall or other climate factors. Split applications also give us an opportunity to judge crop conditions and potential before we top-dress so we can apply the most effective and most economical rate."
Rate and timing also depend on crop use. Demand may be different for wheat intended for grain, grazing or as a dual purpose crop. Yield potential and available moisture also affect fertility rate.
McFarland said farmers should look deeper for residual nitrogen, especially if they planted and fertilized a crop last year and drought prevented typical production. "Nitrogen is very soluble and moves in the soil profile, so we recommend farmers sample deeper than the zero to six-inch depth they usually pull from."
Nitrogen that has moved deeper into the soil profile is still available to the crop. Tests have shown substantial amounts of nitrogen as deep as 48 inches — from 78 to 210 pounds per acre, McFarland said. "At just 24-inch depths, we still find significant amounts of nitrogen available. With the current price of fertilizer, that may represent a significant savings."
He said farmers who use residual nitrogen can decrease typical application rates by the amount identified and produce equal yields. "But farmers have to measure it to know how to adjust rates."
Savings could range from $10 to more than $100 per acre, depending on the crop need and the amount of residual nitrogen available. "And that's just for nitrogen; other nutrients are also found at depth. We recommend farmers consider deep sampling, especially if they put out fertilizer last year and had no crop to utilize it."
Farmers will have to pull two samples, one from the usual zero to six-inch depth to determine nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium calcium, magnesium, sulfur, micronutrients, and pH. They'll need to take a second sample from zero to 18 or 24 inches to determine residual nutrient levels with depth.
He also suggested farmers use N-rich strips in season to judge the proper amount of top-dress nitrogen. N-rich strips consist of narrow strips laid out in the wheat field with each strip receiving a different rate of pre-plant fertilizer. Strips are fertilized with increasing rates of nitrogen (for example zero, 40, 80, and 120 pounds per acre) up to the maximum rate for the expected yield.
Producers evaluate each strip to determine between which increments there is no difference in plant growth. They use the last discernible improvement to establish top-dress rate. If the last strip to show a yield advantage is 80 pounds per acre, and the grower applied 40 pounds per acre at planting, he needs to top-dress his field with 40 pounds to bring the total to 80 pounds.

Motorola Atrix HD LTE and Razr V delayed in Canada
Already launched in the US by AT&T, the Motorola Atrix HD LTE is headed to Canada, too, via Bell. Unfortunately, although it was supposed to be released there in "early August", this won't happen.
Mobile Syrup has uncovered a document which shows that Bell will start selling the Atrix HD on August 21. Better late than never, right?
I addition to releasing the Atrix HD, Bell will also introduce the Motorola Razr V. Initially, this was scheduled to arrive on August 2, but now Bell says it's going to be out one day later, on August 3.
Both the Motorola Atrix HD and the Razr V will run Android 4.0 ICS from day one. The new Atrix (pictured above) has more advanced features, including a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and a 4.5 inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels.

Scott Lucas of Local H: just another day on the job
Full-disclosure: in the almost 15 years since getting paid to write for various publications, there's probably no band I've chosen to cover more times than Local H, in town tonight at Harper's Ferry.
The main reason is because probably not since late 70s AC/DC has there been a rock act so consistent with crunching riffs, shredding vocals and neck-snapping drum work that manage to pair nicely alongside some melodically infectious tunes thrown in for good measure.
Most fans who keep a passing, radio influenced interest in music take a moment before saying something along the lines of "Oh right, Local H – they did that "Keep It Copacetic" song – right?"
It's actually called "Bound for the Floor," but yeah, that's the big hit culled from the Chicago duo's breakthrough, the 1996 sophomore effort As Good As Dead.
It was during that tour when, as a fresh-faced college kid in Philadelphia, I sat on the bus before the show with then-drummer Joe Daniels for hours talking about the sudden radio success of that song, the influences he pulled from his blues playing father and his longtime interest in gymnastics and a healthy lifestyle.
He also apologized for having to sit on in the stuffy, tour weathered confines for so long, but there had been a stalker following him from city to city that he couldn't shake.
Meanwhile, the other half of Local H - and Daniels' polar opposite, singer/guitarist Scott Lucas, was having drinks up the street from the venue. Between the two of them, there would be one more album created, the sorta-conceptual Pack Up the Cats, which never got the fair shake it deserved because of a major label shake-up that left the band out in the cold.
Daniels split, ostensibly because he just wasn't enjoying the lifestyle anymore. Undeterred, Lucas linked up with Triple Fast Action drummer Brian St. Clair and got right back in the van, introducing the new lineup by putting his head down and just rocking out at clubs across the country.
During a stop at Philadelphia's legendary Trocadero, it was Lucas who I would sit down with backstage and grill about the change of the original lineup, moving forward, and dropping the hotly anticipated Here Comes the Zoo.
That would be St. Clair's recorded debut, preceded by the Half-Life EP, a four song split of covers and originals that featured a ventriloquist's dummy as the photo on the sleeve who also served as the twosome's on-stage mascot during shows, some of which saw Lucas don a gorilla suit for the entirety of the set.
"Who's the dummy?" I off-handedly asked Lucas as he was taking a pull on a Budweiser longneck.
The always on his on his wit-game vocalist didn't miss a beat, offering up what could best be described as a sardonic grunt while he pointed at himself.
But Lucas is no dummy.
Having successfully installed bass pickups into his guitar rig in the early days, he was able to keep the band a two piece that had more depth and groove thanmost bands twice that number. And instead of starting over with St. Clair, he actually kept the train on the rails by bringing in a drummer who pounded away like he imbibed equal amounts of DNA from Zeppelin's John Bonham and Sabbath's Bill Ward.
Here Comes the Zoo featured a rawer but just as steady Local H, as Lucas continued to his claim as ironic rock's poet laureate ("Rock & Roll Professionals") while delivering Roger Daltrey like screams ("Creature Comforted").
The No Fun EP followed; six tracks that split originals with covers of the likes of The Godfathers and Ramones. I caught up again with Scott, this time for a pretty expansive piece where he talked one last time about keeping Local H together through lineup and label turmoil, and how no one wanted to criticize then President Bush after 9/11.
The rock solid Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles? came next and then the ode-to-a-failed-relationship, 12 Angry Months in 2008, where each of the dozen tracks focused on another stage of heartbreak, outrage or despondency – and sometimes all three.
Those last two and The No Fun EP were lauded across the board for bushing the boundaries but never neglecting the rock.
Now, after a critically acclaimed side-step a few months ago into a solo effort dubbed Scott Lucas and the Married Men that saw the singer show his more vulnerable side, it's back to the rawk as Local H puts a different spin on the current trend where artists pick an album from their catalog and play the whole thing live during a tour. It's kind of a cool idea, but playing it a bit safe, all things considered.
That's where the "6 Angry Records Tour" comes into play, where Lucas pulls out a hat at the beginning of each show and lets a fan blindly pick one of the band's six releases out of a hat. Then it gets performed, in full, on the spot.
At that point, Lucas and St. Clair might as well be pointing their fingers and laughing at artists like Motley Crue, who last year struggled to remember all of the songs from its most popular release, Dr. Feelgood. You think if someone pulled Shout at the Devil out of the hat Vince Neil would remember all the words?
It's pretty doubtful – but you can bet that with the stones he has, Lucas would probably be able to pull it off.
