SEOUL, July 26 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Steel Co., South Korea's No. 2 steelmaker, said Friday that its second-quarter profit dropped 51 percent from a year earlier due mainly to falling steel prices and weak demand amid the global economic downturn.
Net profit reached 90.5 billion won (US$81.5 million) in the January-March period, compared with a profit of 183 billion won a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Sales also sank 14.5 percent on-year to reach 3.29 trillion won in the second quarter, and operating income declined 44.2 percent to 182 billion won over the cited period.
The steelmaker attributed the sharp drop in the net profit to weak demand for steel products and a decline in prices.
During the second half of the year, Hyundai Steel expects to log 6.8 trillion won in sales, up 15.5 percent from six months earlier, on the back of rising demand from shipbuilders and construction firms.
Shares of Hyundai Steel closed at 70,300 won on the Seoul bourse, down 1.54 percent from the previous session's close. The second-quarter earnings were released after the market closed.

The House Oversight panel is launching an investigation into the White House's efforts to help the housing market and reduce home foreclosures.
Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said Saturday that his committee would look into ways for the Treasury Department to speed up policies to help the housing market and whether loan servicers and banks are carrying through on their obligations. Towns said that the panel would look into how the Treasury Department defines "net present value," a key criteria for homeowners participating in the mortgage modification program.
The Making Home Affordable program has been a centerpiece of the Obama administration's efforts to shore up the housing market, which continues to struggle under mounting foreclosures and depressed prices. The White House committed $75 billion to supporting home loan refinancings and mortgage modifications.
The program has come under heavy criticism from lawmakers and outside observers for how few trial loan modifications have been made permanent. Of the more than 900,000 loans that have entered into the government program, only a little more than 7 percent had reached a permanent modification by the end of December, according to the latest report from Treasury.
The Obama administration is taking steps to improve that rate, including changes in how homeowners provide documentation.
"If a homeowner is denied a permanent mortgage modification, the specific reasons for the denial are not revealed," Towns said. "Treasury has not established a process for homeowners to appeal the denial of a permanent mortgage modification."
Towns sent six pages of questions to the Treasury Department, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

May the best team win on Saturday. But what I really hope is that BYU is the
best team. Two great coaches and a bunch of great players.
Interesting how the relationship between these two coaches was more normal after Anderson left the U of U. Perhaps sportsmanship is emphasized at other schools more so than at Utah?

Great article! What a wonderful article about two great coaches who are rivals and friends. So nice to step away from the bitterness often found in sports and just enjoy good competition. Thank you, Coach Anderson and Coach Mendenhall - I am a proud Cougar fan and see you both as coaches and men worthy of being mentors in the community of sports and life.

It has little to do with sportsmanship and everything to do with professionalism. When you are an employee for a rival company (a very rauccous and well fought one at that). You simple don't fraternize with the other side, even if they were your best friend. Why? because there are certain obligations that must come first. That and especially with him being the defensive coordinator while he was at Utah he has no right to take certain liberties or things that a head coach could get away with without being an obvious insubordinate.

"When you are an employee for a rival company (a very rauccous and well fought one at that). You simple don't fraternize with the other side, even if they were your best friend."
You describe precisely the attitude of bitter rivalry that needs to change. LaVell and McBride got along just fine. THen Urban The Destroyer rode, stoked and used fan hatred, and took the poison to a whole new level.
Now that they play in different playgrounds, there is no good reason to keep the whole "Team Down South" attitude alive. Utah fans and the team talk all the time about moving on, but they choose not to. And shame on Whittingham, a BYU alum, for not changing the tone.

This is a pretty interesting article. I love Gary Andersen. He's one heck of a coach. Don't use this article to act like the relationship was because the U is some horrible school with awful fans. That attitude is what makes the rivalry ugly. Both schools have some pretty embarrassing fan moments. Who could forget the U fans rushing the field last year almost losing the game or the Y fans throwing trash at the refs this year. It's fun if you can keep things in perspective. In this case, the article is about an interesting relationship. Forget your disdain for the other side.

I have Samba set up on a Fedora 15 Machine. All looks well except that there's something nagging and I don't know what exactly is causing it.
I have a public share on the server which is accessible by everyone and its permissions is set to 777. When one person opens a document under that share and closes it after working, the other person who opens it can't edit or save it because it opens in read only and shows that it's still open on another computer.
What might be causing this and how can I resolve this?

They say sorry seems to be the hardest word – but we make no apologies for showing you the Autotune remix of Nick Clegg's mea culpa which has become a YouTube sensation. Clegg's clanger – or apology for dropping one – got us thinking about some of the other great political video mash-ups that lampoon our elected leaders.
Tony Blair elected to introduce a bit of showbiz and music to his big political moments – Things Can Only Get Better was always going to come back and haunt him – making him the perfect subject for some rap with the Clash, which is wonderfully edited with plenty action from his "band" – Gordon Brown and David Cameron.
But the smile was wiped off Brown's face when he told PMQs on 10 December 2008 "but we not only saved the world, err, the banks", leading to the edgy Do Nothing remix.
If Brown hated to be the butt of a joke, one politician seems to relish his image as a loveable buffoon. London mayor and Olympic champion Boris Johnson has a penchant for medal-ing with language – his love of wiff-waff, aka table tennis, got global coverage years before the Games – so there were no surprises when this Olympic welcome, complete with references to burgers and chocolate biscuits, became a viral video success. The question is, has he got the Commons touch to be the next Tory leader?
But our political parodies are by no means all home grown. It's all stars and hypes as presidents Bush and Obama have words put into their mouths and François Hollande gets the Dr Dre treatment. Would that be Dre for dreary soundtrack?
All this makes us wonder what the politicians themselves think when they watch these videos – surely it must be secretly flattering to get millions of views on YouTube? Which video in our chart gets your vote? Who tops your poll? Do let us know.
1. Nick Clegg Says Sorry (The Autotune remix)
A liberal dose of fun at the party leader's expense.
2. Should I Stay Or Should I Go Rx2008
The Blair stitch-up project.
3. Gordon Brown Saves the World (Do Nothing remix)
It wasn't only the economy that was stuttering.
4. Boris Johnson's Olympic Welcome
Games for a laugh.
5. Remix - Moi Président de la République - Dr Dre feat François Hollande – Still D.R.E
An Eiffel of Hollande.
6. T-Pain – Obama Autotune video – Jimmy Kimmel live!
It's a rap when it comes to healthcare.

Winning Literary Acclaim, A Voice of Central Europe
Published: September 9, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
At the age of 12, Mr. Nadas said, he knew he wanted to be a writer. He dropped out of high school, took a photography course and then got a job on a magazine taking pictures of peasants being forced into cooperatives.
By 1968, he said, he realized he could no longer live among the lies of Communism and at the same time not harm or incriminate people he liked by his freewheeling thoughts and actions. Unlike George Konrad, a well-known Hungarian novelist who became one of the high-profile dissidents, Mr. Nadas retreated to the countryside.
For a while, he existed in a kind of a shadow society, where, he said, he literally subsisted on beans brought to him by peasant women. Magda Salamon, a journalist 11 years his senior, whom he later married, visited him from Budapest at weekends. But in that extreme isolation, he said, he found enough space to write.
''I was well aware that this small space I had -- what Western liberalism considers prison -- was enough space to express what I was writing about,'' he said of that period. ''You have to be very egotistical to keep up that space. There was no sense of community anymore; it was only what one person could do for himself.''
He remained a member of the writers' union and leapt at a theater scholarship offered for East Berlin in 1971. ''Nobody else was interested,'' he said. ''For me German literature was so important I thought it would do just fine.''
When he started ''A Book of Memories,'' in 1973, Mr. Nadas was in a virtual no man's land. Though a collection of short stories had been published in 1967, his first novel, ''The End of a Family Affair,'' was submitted to the censors in 1972 and sat there in limbo for five years. It will appear in English next year.
By 1986, ''A Book of Memories'' sailed through the Hungarian censors.
The censors and the Hungarian reviewers chose to ignore the mix of eroticism and politics, the subject of the book that is closest to him. He was disappointed, too, he said, that of the many rave reviews in the United States and Britain this summer only one, in a British newspaper, The Independent, appreciated this major thread.
The eroticism of ''A Book of Memories'' was one of the reasons, along with stylistic echoes of Thomas Mann, that the novel was such a success in Germany, he said.
For German readers, who admire him so much that almost all his short stories, theater pieces, post-1989 nonfiction essays and an autobiographical explanation of how he wrote ''A Book of Memories'' have been translated, the eroticism represented a welcome counterpoint.
''German literature,'' he said, ''is a very clever literature, but in it, humans don't exist from the chest down.''

Vinny's Eagle Project this Saturday and Sunday!
This Saturday and Sunday, June 25 & 26 - Vinny's Eagle Project @ Barrington Municipal Hall - Barrington, NJ. 8 AM to 4:30 PM each day! Lunch will be served! If anyone can bring shovels, rakes, pitch forks, lopping shears, concrete trowels, wheel barrels, gloves, scrub brushes, or post hole diggers, it would be much appreciated! Just let Vinny know by e-mailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com . GREAT start last week, but Vinny needs help placing the brings and gravel and reinstalling the flag poles! The more help, the better!
Pictures from Day #1 of his project:
FIVE Scouts presented their Eagle medals
Thank you to everyone who came out to see Stephen, Sherveer, Josh, Don, and Luke presented with their Eagle medals! Great job guys, you earned it!
Pictures are up at:
Election Night 2016
On June 15, elections were held for next year's Senior Patrol Leader. Folks were nominated, speeches were made, questions were asked, and votes were voted.
The SPL for 2016-2017 will be John W. Congrats John!
Flag Day Flag Retirement
On Tuesday, six scouts and two leaders held a flag retirement ceremony on Flag Day. This was held at the White Horse District Roundtable Meeting at Pine Hill Scout Reservation.
The scouts all did a really nice job, especially since most of them had only a few hours notice!
Thank you to Assistant Scoutmaster Steve Teti for putting the ceremony together and taking care of the logistics!
Wading River Canoe Trip
We had a great time on the Wading River last weekend. Perfect day to be on (and in) the river.
First Aid Night
First Aid Extravaganza Night at the shed. June 1, 2016. Fun!
Memorial Day Flag Planting
The Berlin VFW and Troop 48 spent the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend placing flags on the veterans graves at Berlin Cemetery.

Congrats to Steve and Luke for making Eagle Scout!
HUGE congratulations to Stephen and Luke for each earning their Eagle Scout rank this week!
For his project, Steve built a new block long retaining wall at St Cecilia School in Pennsauken. He's had quite a Scouting career, earning three 50 miler awards on the Appalachian Trail (Shenandoah, Vermont/Massachusetts, and Maryland), the BSA Camping Award, and was 2015's Memorial Award recipient. He served for several years as Patrol Leader, and is currently an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. In one of those "this will never be repeated" achievements, Steve came up from Delaware to be in Troop 48... nearly six years of an hour trip each way for the meetings! He's not done either, as he is slated to go out to Washington State with the troop this summer! Stephen becomes our 118th Eagle Scout!
For his project, Luke sanded and painted a score of picnic tables at Camp FAC (the former YMCA Camp Moore) in Marlton, cleaned up the trails, pulled weeds from the volleyball court, and did a few other odd jobs. Luke also had quite the Scouting career. He camped out with the troop for 136 nights, including making seven summer trips and earning the Silver Bullet Award twice! He also earned FIVE 50 Miler Awards (Batona Trail, Grand Tetons, Shenandoah, Batona Trail [again], and Vermont/Massachusetts) and finished his career with just over 400 miles of backpacking with the troop. He aged out this Spring, and is set to go to Rowan University in the Fall. Luke becomes our 119th Eagle Scout!
We're all very proud of your achievements and the men you have grown up to be. Congrats to each of you from all of us here at Troop 48!
Ten Commandments Hike
One of our Scouts took part in the annual Ten Commandments Hike last weekend, and snapped a few pictures of his journey. Odd weather for it!
Emergency Drill
In the spirit of "Be Prepared", Troop 48 held an emergency drill two weeks ago. Notification was sent out via our text message system of the time and place to meet in Berlin, giving twenty minutes warning. Fifteen Scouts and numerous adults responded to the assigned location (the Berlin Historical Society).
The Boy Scouts have a long history of helping with disaster relief in all corners of the United States. Were Berlin to be struck by a disaster, Troop 48 will be mobilized to help with the relief efforts. This practice drill was one step in making sure that we are ready if, God forbid, disaster was ever to strike the town.
If you didn't receive the message, talk to Mike and get on the text message list!

With several medalists, the Lady Raiders were able to earn a two-way tie for fourth overall out of 15 schools while the Imac boys came in a two-way tie for 10th out of 27 schools.
"For only having six members attending the kids did an awesome job," Immaculata coach Sue Lednicky said.
Below are individual Raider highlights:
* Olivia Theus, 105-pounds — first in clean; first in squat (set new state record); first in bench; first in total weight lifted (set new state record) and second best overall lifter

Keeping occupied is the secret to a long and happy marriage,
Eric Brinsdon, who celebrates his 75th wedding anniversary
today, says.
''When you're that busy working to make a living, you don't
have time to make an argument,'' Mr Brinsdon said.
He and wife Lillian (nee Drummond), both 94, still live in
their own home in Mosgiel.
They were married in a registry office in Dunedin in 1938,
and had six children, five of whom are still alive. They have
12 grandchildren.
They met in Momona, where Mr Brinsdon worked on a farm,
through Mrs Brinsdon's friendship with his twin sister, Vera.
The couple moved to Mosgiel, and Mr Brinsdon worked for the
Taieri County Council, and later as a wharfie at Port
Chalmers, where he worked until retiring in the 1970s.
Retirement was spent first in Hampden, and then Oamaru,
before the couple moved back to Mosgiel about five years ago.
Daughter Sylvia Andrews said that her mother was a keen cook,
who was ''horrified''by the thought of ordering
Mr Brinsdon was still a keen gardener, and the pair both
enjoy getting around Mosgiel on their mobility scooters.
They will celebrate with a lunch today in Waihola, with about
20 people.

Dollar Drops From a 4-Month High as Treasury Yields Pare Gains
The dollar declined from a four-month high amid Treasury yields at an almost six-week low before the Federal Reserve meets next week to determine whether to continue scaling back stimulus.
The U.S. currency touched the highest level since September before reports this week that economists said will show manufacturing growth accelerated while existing-home sales rebounded. The Canadian dollar weakened to the least against the greenback since 2009. The yen reached the lowest in a week as the Bank of Japan began a two-day meeting amid speculation it will extend stimulus to counter the impact of a sales-tax increase.
"The 10-year Treasuries coming off some highs are behind the dollar losing some steam from overnight," Brian Daingerfield, a Stamford, Connecticut-based currency strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said in a phone interview. "The dollar is generally following interest-rate markets."
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against 10 major counterparts, advanced 0.1 percent to 1,034.16 at 5 p.m. New York time. It touched 1,037.75, the highest since Sept. 6.
The dollar rose 0.1 percent to 104.30 yen after adding 0.6 percent, the biggest increase since Jan. 14. The U.S. currency traded at $1.3561 per euro after adding as much as 0.3 percent. The 18-nation shared currency rose 0.2 percent to 141.43 yen.
Treasury 10-year note yields traded added one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 2.83 after touching 2.87 percent. The yield fell to 2.8157 percent on Jan. 17, the lowest since Dec. 11.
Real, Lira
Brazil's real decreased versus all but three of 31 major peers amid speculation that accelerating inflation in the nation will spur the central bank to extend borrowing cost increases. The currency slipped 0.7 percent to 2.3606 per dollar after declining 1.1 percent, the most since Jan. 8.
The Turkish lira fell to a record after its central bank left interest rates unchanged, failing to tackle an inflation rate it said will remain above target. The currency plummeted as much as 1.3 percent to 2.2691 per dollar before trading down 0.5 percent at 2.2513.
Thailand's baht fell as Moody's Analytics Inc. cut its forecast for the country's 2014 gross domestic product growth to 3.2 percent from 5.3 percent. The currency depreciated 0.3 percent to 32.915 per dollar after decreasing 0.4 percent.
Loonie Trading
The Canadian dollar weakened to C$1.10 for the first time in more than four years amid signals that the Bank of Canada will continue to provide monetary stimulus as the Fed slows its own. The loonie fell 0.2 percent to C$1.0967 after touching C$1.1019, the lowest since September 2009.
The U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar was the most heavily traded pair today as over-the-counter foreign-exchange options totaled $71 billion, from $39 billion yesterday, according to data reported by U.S. banks to the Depository Trust Clearing Corp. and tracked by Bloomberg. Volume in options on the greenback-loonie exchange rate amounted to $15 billion, the largest share of trades at 21 percent. Options on the dollar-yen rate totaled $12 billion, or 17 percent.
U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar options trading was 259 percent more than the average for the past five Tuesdays at a similar time in the day, according to Bloomberg analysis. Greenback-yen options trading was 12 percent above average.
Fed Bets
The dollar gained this year against all but three major currencies before the Fed begins a two-day policy meeting on Jan. 28 at which it may decide to continue tapering stimulus. Policy makers at their previous gathering on Dec. 18 decided to cut monthly bond buying to $75 billion from $85 billion beginning this month.
They will reduce purchases by $10 billion at each meeting to end the program this year, according to economists in a Bloomberg survey conducted Jan. 10.
The Markit Economics preliminary index of U.S. manufacturing climbed to 55 this month from 54.4 in December, according to the median estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News before the figure is published on Jan. 23. The National Association of Realtors may say on the same day sales of previously-owned homes climbed 1 percent last month after a 4.3 percent drop in November.
'Strong Enough'
The number of Americans continuing to receive jobless benefits fell to 2.9 million in the period ended Jan. 11 from 3 million, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg before the Labor Department data on Jan. 23.
"The overall fundamental picture is in favor of the dollar," said Ian Stannard, head of European foreign-exchange strategy at Morgan Stanley in London. "Data suggest the U.S. economy is strong enough for the Fed to gradually reduce the stimulus. The market will continue to watch economic reports closely and any improvement will further fuel speculation in that direction."
The yen erased earlier losses against the dollar that came after Japan Economy Minister Akira Amari said the country still faced risk of falling back into deflation.
"Amari's warning that Japan is escaping deflation but that it could return suggests that the Bank of Japan may keep its foot on a monetary pedal," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. "That puts pressure on the yen."
Options Trading
Thirty-three percent of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News on Jan. 10-15 expect the BOJ to expand its 7 trillion yen ($67 billion) of monthly bond purchases in the second quarter as it attempts to stoke inflation and revive growth. The sales-tax increase in April to 8 percent from 5 percent will cause the economy to contract 4.1 percent in the three months to June, according to a separate survey.
The yen has climbed 2.2 percent this year, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes that track 10 developed-nation currencies. The dollar strengthened 1.1 percent and the euro weakened 0.4 percent.

Police: Man dead after hut fireFebruary 07,2013
ST. ALBANS The St. Albans police department says a homeless man was found dead after fire destroyed a small hut on the edge of the Vermont city.
An autopsy is being conducted on the body of 54-year-old Richard Poquette to determine the cause of death, but police say the body had severe burns when it was found late Tuesday afternoon and indications are it was an accidental fire death, which may have been started by a burning candle.
Police were called to a wooded area, about 100 yards from North Main Street, at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday after a caller reported finding a body. Poquettes body was found outside the hut, which had been destroyed by fire and was still smoldering.MORE IN Vermont NewsDemocratic Gubernatorial Candidate Peter Galbraith released a proposal Thursday to quash the...

William the Coderer
New to Java and having fun learning it. Please be forgiving of my ignorance. I love stackoverflow, because everybody here knows so much, and my books don't cover everything I want to know.
I am familiar with C/C++ concepts (Win32/64 API). I am having difficulties absorbing the massive extent of the Java platform API and seemingly multiple classes that perform the same operations with a different interface. Either way, it seems like a better idea than .NET
If you were wondering about my user name, it's a spoof on "William the Conqueror"

haha stunning work
Wow, awesome!
Damn that is cool!
Woooo, sweet! Mario's having a blast riding on that Koopa shell and plowing through that level like a pro.
Thanks. I'm pleased that it's coming across that Mario is tearing through the level
That. That is awesome.
That is a fantastic compliment, thanks. I also like your thumbs up gif there!
Damn, that's awesome.

haha awesome, takes me back to Mario Party 2.
I never played any of the Mario Party games, were they any good?
Aww yeah! They were a blast. Shall shocked was basically a bunch of those green pipes every other block, and you had to navigate your koopa tank through it while eliminating the other 6-8 opponents. It was just a lot of mini-games, but they were usually a challenge. haha

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE -- One of about 30 threatened Florida black bears known to live on or near this sprawling base in the Panhandle was fatally struck by a sports utility vehicle.
The female, which was about 21/2 years old and weighed 90 pounds, was killed Tuesday. It probably was one seen traveling with a larger bear, likely its mother, near Poquito Bayou for the past week or so, Eglin environmental spokesman Mike Spaits said Wednesday.
The bear came out of the woods in front of the SUV driven by Cy Hull, said his wife, Laney Hull.
A population study using DNA from hair samples has identified about 30 black bears so far on or near the base, which covers 724 square miles in three counties, Spaits said.

Another brick in the paywall
Newspapers have two principal sources of revenue, readers and advertisers, and they can operate at mass or niche scale for each of those groups. A metro-area daily paper is a mass product for customers (many readers buy the paper) and for advertisers (many readers see their ads.) Newsletters and small-circulation magazines, by contrast, serve niche readers, and therefore niche advertisers — Fire Chief, Mother Earth News. (Some newsletters get by with no advertising at all, as with Cooks' Illustrated, where part of what the user pays for is freedom from ads, or rather freedom from a publisher beholden to advertisers.) Paywalls were an attempt to preserve the old mass+mass model after a transition to digital distribution. With so few readers willing to pay, and therefore so few readers to advertise to, paywalls instead turned newspapers into a niche+niche business. What the article threshold creates is an odd hybrid — a mass market for advertising, but a niche market for users. Clay Shirky on the economics of newspaper paywalls and why article thresholds seem to be the way of the future.
The Grey Lady teaches Math
"Crazy as it sounds, over the next several weeks I'm going to try to do something close to that. I'll be writing about the elements of mathematics, from pre-school to grad school, for anyone out there who'd like to have a second chance at the subject — but this time from an adult perspective. It's not intended to be remedial. The goal is to give you a better feeling for what math is all about and why it's so enthralling to those who get it." Mathematics in the pages of the New York Times!

5.0 stars 8 totalReview Mathew Stevenson
Posted by a client
At first glance, my case appeared to me to be fairly simple. As the evidence poured in it was anything but. Mat spent countless hours researching and talking with detectives and the prosecutor and stood by my side the whole way. My thanks go out to Mat and the whole team at Bigskylegal for getting me an outcome better than I could have ever hoped for. B.L.

"My experience with Stevenson Law Office exceeded my expectations and the attorneys are above reproach. Mat Stevenson and David Maldonado handled both my criminal and family law cases. They worked aggressively, communicated with me often, and handled both my cases with class. These guys are legal geniuses!! If you want respect, unparalleled legal services for a criminal or family law case, and the most positive outcome in your case, then these are your guys, bar none."
Posted by a client
I felt it necessary to write a review of the service and professionalism I have received from Stevenson Law Office. First off, let me say. ..I am 100% sure that I would be serving a 10 year prison sentence at this time if not for this team. I was very guilty of the crime I was charged with and it was not a winnable case. I was told by 2 different public defenders that there was nothing that could be done and I needed to come to peace with my fate and serve my sentence. Now understand, I did not need innocence or guilt argued. I needed a strong and understanding attorney to argue my sentence and convince prosecutors that prison was not the appropriate sentence. This took due diligence on my part to find a very strong attorney that could handle a burden of this level. Almost every attorney I spoke with, after looking at case facts, told me they could not help me. Mat Stevenson looked at this case and understood exactly why prison was not the right option. He took the case and negotiated tirelessly to show prosecutors why they needed to revisit my sentence. I have never seen a attorney that was able to negotiate an unwinnable case that has no leveraging against prosecutors to argue for a reduced sentence. That said, Mat and David did exactly that. I did not serve 1 second in prison and won't. I needed the court to see my perspective on my case and no attorney was even willing to try. Mat took on this case and from day one, began to show the court why my freedom was appropriate. Mat is beyond skilled and extremely knowledgeable. He has saved our family and our future and I highly encourage anyone facing a serious crime to not risk your freedom and immediately hire this team. I can tell you that money was a very small amount of this team's motivation. I obviously paid them, but not nearly what the few others that were considering this case had quoted me. Don't risk your future. ..hire Mat and don't waste precious time dealing with attorneys that don't care about more than your dollar. In my family's honest opinion, if more attorneys operated like Mat, there would be a more trust worthy legal system. Thank you Mat and David, we could never repay what you've done for us.
D and family

I was sentenced to 21 years probation in 2004. I realized I had changed in the last ten years and wanted my past behind me. I hired Mat Stevenson to represent me and I could not be happier!
Mat and his top notch legal representation of me, was able to get the last eleven years of my probation dropped. He is an amazing lawyer that gets the job done at a reasonable price.

I was incarcerated in the Ravalli County Jail without ever seeing a judge. The Public Defender I had never ever came to see me and even made me miss a court date. I was incarcerated for 73 days without ever seeing a judge. I hired Mat Stevenson, he asked for an immediate hearing and he got my no bond hold lifted and after posting $5000 I was released the very next day after hiring him. I am so pleased with the work Mat did on my case. He petitioned to have my revocation dismissed, which the judge granted. I was looking at five years DOC and Mat kept that from happening. I really feel Mat is one of the best attorneys I have ever met or seen in a court. He really cares about his clients and works very hard on their behalf. If I hadn't hired Mat I could possibly be doing 5 years in prison, not only did that NOT happen but he got everything dismissed and I didn't even lose my 2 years paper time. Mat is the best and I would recommend him to anyone needing a attorney. He truly works miracles for his clients.

Mathew Stevenson is the best attorney in Montana no question! I was blessed to have the chance to be represented by an individual of such a high caliber. His poise and attention to detail place him in a league all of his own. He has helped me several times in a way my family and I could never repay. Thank you Mat. HT Missoula, MT
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
Very satisfied with the out come of my court case. Matt effectively had my charges reduced with minimal fines imposed and most importantly no jail time. I'm from out of state and was allowed to return home based on his efforts at my first court date which had originally been set for October, my accident happened in early August, but due to my circumstances was moved by Matt to the third week in August so I could leave ASAP. Anyone who has to retain a lawyer for whatever reason, or is a first timer like I was, knows how stressful it can be but he really made this as painless as possible and over with in a timely manner. I'll just reiterate again how happy I am with Matt and the results of my case. Thank you ,
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I was charged with a very serious felony in Ravalli County, Montana in 2007. I have a minor criminal history and the two other lawyers I interviewed told me I would definitely be going to prison. I hired Mat Stevenson because he was extremely confident that he could get me a sentence that would not result in me going to prison. My charges were reduced and I ended up with time served about (2 months) and probation. I hope that I am never in any trouble again but if I need a lawyer Mat would be my first choice.

Oregon's Ancient Ocean
"Oregon's ancient ocean: the oldest vertebrate fossils from the Brisbois formation of eastern Oregon"
There were no dinosaurs in Oregon, but there were thallatosaurs.
Eric Metz (MS student, University of Alaska Museum) will present his research on the recently discovered 225 million year old fossils from the Brisbois formation of eastern Oregon. Nicknamed "Bernie", these fossils are being excavated from their rock matrix in OMSI's Paleontology Lab before they are sent to Alaska for study.
These are the oldest vertebrate fossils known in the state and belong to an enigmatic group of marine reptiles called thalattosaurs. The talk will focus on the geography of Oregon during the late Triassic, the near-shore environment these animals inhabited, and the morphology of the animals including its distinctive down-turned snout and other aquatic adaptations.

Science Pub Portland: Fireflies
Silent Sparks: The Wondrous World of Fireflies
With Sara Lewis, PhD, Professor in the Department of Biology at Tufts University
Doors Open @ 5PM | $5 Suggested Donation
For centuries, their ethereal beauty has evoked wonder and delight. Yet for most of us, fireflies remain shrouded in mystery: How do these creatures make light? What are they saying with all their flashing? Are fireflies disappearing? In this talk, noted biologist and firefly expert Sara Lewis dives into the mysterious world of fireflies and reveals the most up-to-date discoveries about these charismatic insects. Join her journey from the meadows of New England and the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, to the rivers of Japan and mangrove forests of Malaysia, to hear remarkable stories of firefly courtship and romance, poison and deceit.
Sara Lewis is a Professor of Biology at Tufts University who tries hard to stay susceptible to wonder. Over the past thirty years, her scientific research into the luminous lives of fireflies has revealed many intimate secrets of firefly sex and death. Author of 80+ scientific papers, Lewis has also given a TED talk and written numerous popular articles on fireflies. Her new book Silent Sparks: The Wondrous World of Fireflies (Princeton 2016) is a richly illustrated and passionate look at these beloved creatures, and a call to reconnect with the magic of the natural world.
Silent Sparks is a firefly love story, unveiling the hidden drama that lies beneath fireflies' ethereal beauty. Telling the fascinating stories of birth, sexual attraction, and death among fireflies, noted firefly biologist Sara Lewis reveals the scientific saga of these marvelous insects, as well as the scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding them.
Dinner and drinks will be available throughout the presentation. Please see the Mission Theater website for a dinner menu and venue information.

Any team in baseball would kill to have a couple of top prospects like Taijuan Walker and Mike Zunino and both players are among the best of the best in all of baseball. Beyond that the Mariners have a host of potential mid-rotation starters at all levels of the organization, headlined by the trio of Danny Hultzen, Brandon Maurer and James Paxton all nearly ready to reach the big leagues after varying degrees of success in Double-A. Outside the Top 15 the Mariners have several boom or bust prospects that could make their way onto this list next year. It's an intriguing system that should be fun to follow in the coming years.
1. Taijuan Walker – RHP (Last Year's Rank: 2)
Walker's ceiling as a starting pitcher is absolutely through the roof and aside from his high risk profile, finding fault in his game is merely nit picking. With tremendous athleticism and a fastball that can sit in the mid-90s, Walker has two base ingredients in the plus-plus range. His curveball and cutter flash as plus pitches and the progress of the rest of his game leaves scouts believing his change-up can catch up and become an average pitch. Walker's ceiling rests as a frontline starter and after growing in Double-A last year, he could be ready for the big leagues in 2014.
2. Mike Zunino – C (NR)
The Mariners top pick last June, Zunino could be one of the first big-league regulars from his draft class. Though his profile lacks flash, he has a full complement of solid-average tools at a premium position. Zunino can struggle with consistent contact at times but he should show enough hitting ability to post averages in the .270-.275 range with 15-20 home runs. His defense needs to progress at the professional level but he has average potential and should easily be an everyday catcher defensively. With a broad skill set that should play well in the big leagues, Zunino could end up an All-Star at a thin position.
3. Nick Franklin – SS (5)
I know I shouldn't like Franklin as much as I do, but I just can't help myself. Like Zunino ahead of him, Franklin has a nice complement of average to solid-average tools, combined with a great feel for the game; helping his tools play up just a little bit. Franklin is a solid hitter with average raw power that should manifest in plenty of doubles and 10-15 home runs a year. Most scouts have some difficulty projecting Franklin on the left side of the infield thanks to modest range and a below-average arm, but his defensive profile can reach the average level with a move across the bag to second base.
4. Danny Hultzen – LHP (3)
Hultzen was a bit of a reach with the second overall pick in the 2011 draft, lacking a big ceiling and looking more like a number three or four starter. While Hultzen's stuff still showed solidly in his first full season, his feel for the strike zone escaped him and he struggled to locate any of his pitches. Hultzen resides in the low-90s with his fastball, mixing it well with a plus change and a solid slider, helping him keep hitters off balance and work through lineups. With improved command, Hultzen could be ready for the big leagues by late 2013.
5. Brandon Maurer – RHP (NR)
Arguably the least heralded member of the 2012 Double-A Jackson rotation, Maurer may end up being the second best big leaguer behind Taijuan Walker. Maurer's fastball can reach 96 mph when he reaches back for more and he sits in the 91-93 mph range consistently; relying on plus sink just as much as his velocity. Both his slider and curveball have at least average potential, giving him the pitches necessary to miss some bats. Maurer's command of the strike zone and change-up require further development and they will determine whether he reaches his number three ceiling or comes up short at the back of a rotation.
6. James Paxton – LHP (4)
Paxton took an adventurous path to the Mariners organization after not signing right out of the draft but then pitched at Double-A for the second consecutive season in 2012. With a fastball that can reach 97 mph and rests easily in the plus range, and a curveball that sits comfortably in the same range, he has two legitimate big-league pitches. Most scouts I spoke with had very little confidence in his change-up and projected him out as a two-pitch number four starter that you always expect more from.
7. Victor Sanchez – RHP (NR)
A beefy (6-foot, 250-pounds) right-hander, Sanchez has the makings of becoming a true power pitcher that eats innings every time out. His fastball is consistently 92-94 mph and will reach higher on occasion. His curveball and change-up both flash at above-average levels but need considerable consistency to hold those grades every inning or every time out. Sanchez is extremely young and extremely raw, requiring ample development time but he has legitimate mid-rotation potential.
8. Luiz Gohara – LHP (NR)
One of the top pitchers on the international market in 2012, Gohara could explode onto the scene in his professional debut this summer. His fastball already reaches as high as 95 mph from the left side and will consistently work at 90-91 mph during his outings. He shows feel for both a curveball and change-up early in his career and if you want to dream you can see two more above-average to plus pitches in his arsenal. There is almost no telling what Gohara can become, but he is certainly worth watching going forward.
9. Carter Capps – RHP (NR)
Drafted in 2011, Capps has raced through the minor leagues and he should impact the big league bullpen in 2012. Capps' physical frame fits his upper-90s fastball that touches 99 mph and he attacks with that heater. He also features a plus curveball that can miss bats and gives him at least setup projection with some potential to close as he settles into the big leagues.
10. Brad Miller – INF (NR)
Miller is a nice player whose only standout tool is his bat. Despite some odd swing mechanics, Miller gets the bat to the ball and shows an ability to use the whole field and hit for average. He hits line drives consistently and has good gap power that should play to 20+ doubles in the big leagues. His defense at shortstop is not pretty and he fits better in a utility role than an everyday guy at any one position.
11. Edwin Diaz – RHP (NR)
I was tempted to push Diaz considerably higher in these rankings but ultimately I need to see how his fastball and curveball play under a professional workload before I get that bold. As an amateur, Diaz showed plus velocity with projection for even more down the line, as well as a potential plus curveball. Relatively inexperienced, Diaz is extremely raw and must become more of a pitcher rather than a thrower, but his velocity and feel for a breaking ball at a young age are extremely promising.
12. Tyler Pike – LHP (NR)
A third round pick in 2012, Pike is highly projectable with a lean frame and velocity that already sits in the average range, touching 92 mph when he ramps up for a little more. Both his curveball and change-up show some promise, giving him the potential for three average pitches with good pitchability and excellent competitiveness. Pike lacks a significant ceiling but he could move quickly despite his youth and has a chance to max out as a number four starter.
13. Stefen Romero – INF/OF (NR)
If I were convinced Romero could stay on the dirt I would have ranked him among the top ten prospects in the system. As it stands now, the scouts I spoke to were pretty skeptical of his below-average range, fringy arm and modest actions at second base, projecting him better on an outfield corner. Romero has the potential to hit in the .270-.280 range with average pop and maybe even 10-12 stolen bases as a fringe-average everyday guy.
14. Gabriel Guerrero – OF (NR)
Guerrero is immensely talented an also incredibly raw in every phase of the game. He fits well in right field with solid athleticism, good defensive instincts and a true plus arm. Offensively, his approach will need considerable work but he shows some feel for the barrel and plus raw. It's going to be a long road to the Major Leagues but Guerrero has one of the higher raw ceilings in the system.
15. Tyler Marlette – C (15)
After a solid showing in the Appalachian League and continued solid reviews from scouts, I remain optimistic about the potential Marlette offers. His defense will need continued work but he made some strides with his receiving in 2012 and still shows an above-average to plus arm behind the plate. With good pop in his bat, he can drive the ball out of the park but he will have to prove he can make more consistent contact to reach his potential.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Clam-I-Am! is an interactive, educational storybook that teaches young readers about marine ecology. Kids can read to themselves or listen to a narrator as they discover the wonders of the sea with popular Dr. Seuss characters like the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, and Thing 2. Features such as highlighted text, interactive illustrations, and a voice-recording option encourage early literacy and language development. Tappable word definitions teach kids lots of fun science facts, but many concepts are too advanced for early readers. The app provides many links to purchase more products, and parents need to be aware that these opportunities appear on various pages of the story.
What kids can learn
Language & Reading
- letter or word recognition
- reading
- reading comprehension
- vocabulary
- ecosystems

Thinking & Reasoning
- memorization
Engagement, Approach, Support
Kids will enjoy tapping pictures and words throughout the story as they learn fascinating facts about the sea. Ocean sound effects and fun music bring the story to life.
The story is packed with vocabulary kids can learn by tapping bolded words. Features like highlighted text and two reading options support early literacy.
Navigation is fairly easy, and kids can move through the story by turning pages or choosing a particular page to view. An interactive glossary and a method to assess learning would be welcome additions.

What's it about?
Take a virtual trip to the sea with the Cat in the Hat and friends to learn about bivalves, mollusks, crabs, driftwood, tides, and more. The ebook has two reading choices, Read to Me and Read it Myself. In the Read to Me option, words are highlighted as they're spoken, which helps kids learn and practice reading skills. In both options, kids can tap bolded words to learn their definitions and tap pictures to hear and see labels. Kids can even record their own voices while reading the story, which offers a great opportunity to practice speech and language development. While there is a storyline kids can follow, the app is more of a science reference book.
Is it any good?
CLAM-I-AM! is a fun, interactive way to introduce kids to marine ecology and related science topics. Text highlighting and tappable words and pictures enhance the learning experience. Many of the words and definitions, such as such as arthropod, echinoderm, and mollusk, are a bit advanced for early readers.
Unfortunately, the ebook does not include opportunities for kids to practice or review what they've learned. Adding some interactive activities and a glossary of terms would deepen the learning experience.
Families can talk about...
Read together and encourage kids to ask questions about key terms.
Find pictures of sea creatures and challenge kids to identify them using terms like mollusk, crustacean, or echinoderm.
Write together a poem or short story about the sea. Choose one of the creatures from Clam-I-Am! as the main character.

Ralph Garman
Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman take a twisted look at showbiz news and bite the Hollywood hand that feeds them. Sometimes, they feel bad and give Hollywood a tetanus shot and some Neosporin, but, even then, they usually just turn around and bite Hollywood's other hand. They can't help it. It's their nature. It's like that "scorpion and frog" story. But, deep down, they're just two nice East Coast boys... who happen to have a heavy dependence on drugs and alcohol, respectively.

Beautiful Outdood Set

Very Nice Set
By Steven
from Miami, FL
I can't say enough what a beautiful set this is. Very easy to assemble. You only have to put the leg supports on the chairs. They are otherwise fully assembled which is a huge plus. The base and table top attachment is quick and easy. You will need two strong people to put the top on (very heavy). Very well packaged. Everything is protected by wrapping to prevent scratching. This set is much nicer than sets I have seen around $1500. The stone top is beautiful!

Not a good start
By psueric

We were very satisfied with this product for the first 3 months. It's beautiful, and appears to be well constructed. Unfortunately, within the first 3 months, the table literally began to come apart. I'm going to open a warranty claim with the company, and see how their customer service holds up. I'll update my review once the issue is resolved.https://www.flickr.com/photos/52966498@N02/14971734490/https://www.flickr.com/photos/52966498@N02/15155429681/

Beware quality control on tiles
By NJ Guy
from Bergen, NJ
I bought the previous model of this table Two years ago. We love the look and were happy overall -- until this year. After the first season, one of the tiles came loose. No big deal, just set it with some epoxy and all was good. However, as I begin my 3rd season, virtually every tile has lost adhesion. The set came with a 7 year warrantee -- BUT NOT THE TABLETOP. That got a scant 1 year of coverage (makes it rather obvious the manufacturer knows of the issue). I live in the northeast, so I'm sure a brutal winter contributed, but the table is covered with tarp and placed under an eave each Fall. If you buy this table, you will love it. But you should be prepared for issues and plan to reseal the top each season.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Was cleaning my weapons I had taken out for the day an noticed the feed ramp on my .45 was a little rough. I got the brasso an dremel an made it slick as glass. After I put it together I put a full mag in an it would not feed at all. After I hit it with the palm of my hand it fed, no matter how hard I slingshot it it would not feed, no matter which ammo I tried. Now keep in mind never had a problem before. Than I remembered a thread on this forum where someone said the ramp needs to have a little friction to work, at the time I thought this was bunk but what the heck. Got my emery cloth an ruffed it up just a little. I was shocked feeds great. Still not sure of the dynamics but it works. The old saying is true if its not broke dont fix it.

"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.

OD got it right!
"Don't shout for help at night, you may wake your neighbors"
I, too, would like to hear an explanation of why that could be. This is the first I heard of it.
Incidentally, when you "slingshot" the slide it is propelled forward by the spring so the force is theoretically the same each time if you are pulling it all the way back as you should be.
See, Chyrsler had the best automatic transmission of the day. Rolls Royce bought the patent/licensed it from them, whatever.
So the Rolls people got a number of Chrysler automatic transmissions, and took them apart. They were aghast at what they found.
They observed that the insides of the transmission parts (the inside of the housing, as I recall), were not finished. Ie rough metal.
So they ground it all down, till they were smooth as glass, as befits Rolls Royce parts, whether they are seen or not.
And of course, what they got were transmissions that would not work. They had assumed that it was "sloppy & slip shod" work from Chrysler, and that they wouldn't tolerate that nonsense, and in the process, Rolls Royce destroyed a number of perfectly good transmissions, lol.
The majority of feed related issues in the 1911 are either with the extractor or to a lesser degree...the magazine.
If your 1911 does not feed smoothly suspect the extractor first.
If the rear of the cartridge has trouble/difficulty moving up into the extractor then the bullet nose cannot physically feed smoothly into the chamber.
And then you will either have a hesitation in the feed or a jammed feed.
The frame feed ramp actually has very little to do with how efficiently the 1911 feeds as long as it has been factory milled to the correct specs.
If everything else is correct then the frame feed ramp does not need to be highly polished but, it should not make any negative difference if it is highly polished. I have never heard that the frame feed ramp needs friction in order to insure a flawless feed.
All photo credit to Rogers Precision
This feed ramp example by Rogers is about as perfect and highly polished as it gets and his 1911 handguns always feed.
This is ideally how your barrel feed ramp & frame feed ramp should relate to one another when the barrel is seated and fully to the rear.
Notice that the bottom of the barrel chamber feed ramp is spaced away from the very top edge of the frame feed ramp.
Make sure that your barrel is not overhanging your frame feed ramp or even with the top edge of your frame feed ramp.
Also the bottom edge of your barrel chamber mouth (the edge that your cartridge slides over as it enters the barrel chamber) should be very slightly broken and polished.

If anybody has a 1911 that hesitates on the feed sometimes a simple solution is the TRIPP RESEARCH CobraMag. You can check out their website and find out why. I am tired of typing today.

You have a barrel with an integral ramp? Like this one below?
Then make sure that you do not have a hard sharp edge where the barrel ramp turns into the chamber.
A hard sharp edge there can catch the cartridge case edge on the way in.
But, still I would look at the extractor and make sure that it is not over tensioned and that the extractor hook is not cutting into your cartridges.
Also you might want to install a fresh recoil spring possibly a # or 2 heavier but then you'll need to shoot it for function before you carry it.

My host apparently updated PHP and SQL to version 5 and I think that it messed up my WordPress install. I cannot login or access WP at all, but I do have FTP access and access to the database.
Is there any way for me to deactivate my plugins so I can upgrade to 2.3, or do I just have to upgrade without deactivating and hope for the best.
I'm not sure what version of WP I'm currently running, but if there is a file I can check I will check and post the version number. Thank you.

Whats the big reason for this stocks slide? As of late its lost its way. I bought this stock to make money not only a great dividend.
Wall Street once again bringing it down to load up before earnings come out next Thursday. Dont worry about it. It is solid and will rebound over $14.25 soon. Buy more if you have the extra $.
I can't believe we are trading under the current book value. The current book must be closer to $14 by now.
