ST PAUL, MN, June 28, 2013
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) are accepting applications from landowners interested in the Grassland Reserve Program (GRP).
A new round of funding authorizes $47 million to enroll up to 200,000 additional acres into GRP nationwide.
Anyone interested in these voluntary programs should contact their state or local NRCS or FSA office.
Sign-up dates and deadlines vary by state, and applications are accepted throughout the year. Minnesota NRCS and FSA have established a 2-week sign-up beginning July 1st and ending July 17th.
Through the Grassland Reserve Program, landowners and managers apply for conservation easements or rental agreements that support conservation of working grazing operations, enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity, and protection of grassland under threat of conversion to other uses.
"Conservation of working grasslands enhances plant and animal biodiversity while protecting the land," said NRCS State Conservationist Don Baloun. FSA State Executive Director Debra Crusoe stated, "GRP is a great program for our livestock producers to consider for improving the long-term substantiality of their livestock operations."
To apply or find out more about GRP eligibility and enrollment options, visit your local USDA Service Center.

The Marceline Lady Tigers may have been delayed in the second round by snow, but nothing stopped them from claiming a District Championship. This is only the programs second District Championship in the last six seasons.
The Tigers took on Putnam County to start things Friday night. The Tigers fell behind early, as their opponents took off on a 6-0 run to start the game. Marceline finally got on the board with a hoop from Frankie Herring. Late fouls in the first frame allowed the Tigers to remain in the game, and a buzzer-beating bucket from Chase Hilsabeck would cut the Marceline deficit to 19-10 after one quarter.
Putnam opened the second frame with a 4-0 run, and would expand their lead to double-digits before the midpoint of the frame. A pair of free throws by Brett McGlothlin would set the Tigers off on a run that would cut their deficit to seven points. With just over a minute left in the half, Hilsabeck drained a three-pointer to close within three. But, a quarter-ending 4-0 run would put Marceline down 35-27 at halftime. However, The Tigers did outscore their opponents in the second frame.
In the District Championship game, the Lady Tigers would do battle with the hosting Schuyler County Lady Rams. Marceline had topped the Schuyler girls on this same court earlier in the season.
Gauthier found Morgan for a hoop to start the game. Schuyler would respond with a three-pointer. The teams would fight evenly early on, and after one quarter, the game was tied 10-10.
Marceline would start the second frame on a 5-0 run with points coming from Madison, Morgan and Brooks. Another run by the Lady Tigers, this one going to 9-0, would extend their lead late in the half. At the end of the second quarter, Marceline led 28-18.

AUSTIN (February 13, 2013)--Gov. Rick Perry wrapped up his high-profile recruiting trip to California without convincing any businesses to relocate to Texas.
The Republican said Wednesday that he met with "entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the Golden State."
He also hosted a reception for more than 200 California companies that have expressed interest in moving.
But Perry offered nothing concrete to show for the visit as he headed home.
Last week, Perry was featured in radio ads denigrating California taxes and regulation and touting Texas as friendlier to businesses.
He now says that competition between the states is healthy, even if it can sometimes get uncomfortable.
Perry likened it to a race, saying he'd rather be ahead and "letting someone look at my backside."

Crafted as part of Grant's Classic series, this classic steering wheel harks back to a time when sports cars from England, Italy, France, Germany, and the United States really were all about keeping everything lightweight, mechanically simple, and elegant. Natural wood materials and metals were valued, and this classically finished steering wheel conjures images of spirited wheel-handling around turns wearing leather gloves. Slim and fashionable spoke designs represent the timeless racing mantra of removing every ounce of weight wherever possible. Mounting this steering wheel requires the Grant Installation Kit sold separately, and these wheels are not designed for use on vehicles originally equipped with airbags.
Since 1922, Grant® Products has been a leader in the field of automotive products. After getting its start with engine overhaul kits and parts, Grant became involved in automotive racing and supplied many engine components that set records on the salt flats of Bonneville and on the pavement of the Indianapolis Speedway. Grant diversified into steering wheels for race cars in the 1960s and pioneered many advancements using woods and plastics in construction. After introducing tilt-wheel conversion kits and street-legal quick release steering wheel kits for theft prevention, the company became so successful with their steering wheel line they opted to focus solely on it. Today, Grant Products produces a wide range of modern and retro style steering wheels for boats, heavy trucks, ATVs, golf carts as well as passenger cars. When a well-made, stylish custom steering wheel is what you want, Grant® is the only name you need to know.

CHARLOTTE (WILX)-- The next time you hit a pothole wouldn't it be nice to snap a pic and text it to the city, and it's fixed instantly?
That's the idea in Charlotte. The city started 'Complaints by Text' on Tuesday hoping to improve neighborhood quality.
When residents observe a situation requiring city attention, they should take a picture, send it to email@example.com-- and add a message with a location and description.
The texts can be used for multiple types of complaints. It could be a street light not working, a sidewalk falling apart, or a neighbors high grass.
People who've already texted in their own complaints say it's an easy process.
"I thought I'd give it a try. It's a simple matter of using your cell phone," said Don Sovey.
Sovey was the first to text a complaint to the city.
"What we want to do is keep the standards high in the community of Charlotte."
All texts go to City Manager Gregg Guetschow's email. He says it's easier that way because he'll make sure all complaints go to the right department.
Right now the city gets an average of two complaints a day via e-mail. Using text that number's expected go up, possibly double, as the city becomes notified of issues it wouldn't normally find.
"People who live here are more accustomed to see things we might miss as we drive through those same neighborhoods. An example would be a street light that's out. We don't know that it's out until someone tells us," said Guetschow.
For those who have a hard time with technology don't worry, the city's still taking complaints by phone calls and on their website. The texting is just an added resource.
"As we relied on people phoning us in the past, or sending us an email, this just seems to be one more tool for us to provide to residents to help us keep their neighborhoods in good condition."
*Depending on your cell phone plan, users may incur charges when texting complaints.

Virtual Box
innotek VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.

Cannot use bootcamp partitions as a hard drive :(
Works perfectly for me. It is free (as in gratis) if you want USB proxy support, and runs the couple of Windows apps that I use from time to time smoothly. Recommended, especially if you don't want to spend money for other apps that do the same stuff.
I've tried Fusion, Parallels and VirtualBox, but after Parallels wanted another $50 to upgrade from 4 to 5, I thought I'd go back to VB for another go. As I'm not a heavy user either (one or two apps), I installed Windows 7 and am now typing this to you from Chrome! Shared folders, networking and hard drive management are very easy - I'd definitely suggest giving it a go before dropping any dollars on the commercial products, especially if you're not after a specific feature of the big two.
I've tried both VMWare and VirtualBox. Unity alone may be worth the price if you use several Windows applications regularly - it lets you run hosted applications without the hassle of having to load the virtualizer, load a VM, and then fiddle about in a window each time. VirtualBox is free and works, but has a slightly awkward interface and little desktop integration.
@papercrane :
Unity feature: Run Windows applications like Mac applications, quickly switching between Mac and Windows applications, minimizing Windows applications to your Dock, and even store Windows applications in your Dock to launch at a momentâs notice.
What is the Unity feature, and how important is it?
I've been running Ubuntu on it for a while now, and I have no complaints.
To compare with VMWare, VB doesn't have the Unity feature, but that only works with virtual machines running Windows, so if you're running a free OS, run it on a free virtualizer!
Sweet. I didn't want to shell out for VMWare or Parallels since I just need to run Win 98 & WordPerfect 8 (from 1997) occasionally to open some old files & use my scanner (Xerox Documate 510, with no Mac or SANE drivers available). It works great for both -- USB support with the scanner is flawless so far. The only issue is that display options for Win98 are pretty limited but for something I use only a few times a week it's fine.
this cannot be universal since its a x86 virtualizer.
homepage says: "VirtualBox for OS X Hosts (Beta 2; Intel Macs only)"
i'm running a vista vm and an xp vm, and it is just as fast as fusion/parallels, and best of all it's free.
there is no coherence/unity equivalent, but other than that, i haven't noticed any discernable differences between the commercial software and this wonderful free offering.

HOUSTON – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team opened up the 2012 season this evening at the University of Houston - Hilton Houston Plaza Classic at Cougar Softball Stadium. After a rain delay that pushed the games back four hours, the No. 20-ranked Houston Cougars' offense took control early in the first inning, scoring nine runs, to win the first game of the three-day event, 10-0, in five innings.
Senior Jordan Trujillo took the loss for the Islanders (0-1), giving up nine runs on three hits while walking four and striking out one. Senior Vianca relieved Trujillo in the first inning, allowing just one run on five hits while walking two and striking out three.
The Cougars' powerful bats started things off at the top of the first inning. Houston (1-0) jumped out to nine runs in the top of the first with the first nine batters each plating runs. Jennifer Klinkert led the Cougars with two hits, one run and one RBI while Hayley Outon tacked up two runs and one hit. Jaime Edwards also chipped in two RBIs, one run and one hit. The Cougars 10th run came in the top of the fourth, after Outon reached base on a walk, Klinkert doubled and Edwards followed it with an RBI to first base to plate Outon.
The Islanders put up four hits, including two in the bottom of the third. Senior Alejia Cain singled to start the inning while freshman Cassie Carroll doubled in her first game as an Islander to advance Cain to third. The Islanders were stranded though as junior Meagan McKinney popped up to first base to end the inning. Freshman Hayley Galloway also added a hit in her first collegiate game in the second inning while senior Sandy Schumann singled in the fourth.
Bailey Watts limited the Islanders to four hits while striking out eight and walking four in five innings.
The Islanders will continue play tomorrow in the Houston Hilton Plaza Classic when they square off against No. 11 Oklahoma State at 11 a.m. followed by a 5 p.m. matchup vs. North Texas. Oklahoma State (2-0) picked up two shut-out wins today over North Texas and Sam Houston State. North Texas (0-1) fell to the Cowgirls 2-0.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
A TRIP TO TRENTON TO SEE A BASKETBALL GAME by Mignon Sparling
I was a senior in high school the winter of 1909-1910 and my sister Belle Lowe, my brother John Lowe, and three friends, Mary Tucker, Ethel Perriman, and Thomas Lyon and I decided we would like to attend the basketball game at Trenton on a Saturday afternoon.
I do not remember how the basketball team traveled to Trenton in those days, I suppose they probably left early Saturday morning in a horse drawn coach, but I do remember how we the fans traveled. We had to leave school early on Friday afternoon and catch the 2:30 Wabash going west. We four girls were really dressed up for the occasion in our long billowing skirts, our high laced shoes, our heavy coats and last but not least our huge picture hats which were the style in those years.
Our train ride to Gallatin Junction was apparently uneventful and we got out at the Gallatin Junction which was on the northeast side of the West Branch of Grand River. It was going to be several hours before we could catch a train to Trenton, so we decided to cross the river on the railroad bridge and walk on into Gallatin. It was a cold day and the station was too cold to sit around and wait, so we set off double file across the railroad trestle.
When we were half way across the bridge, my brother John, who had keen hearing, apparently heard a train coming behind us. I was beside him in the lead and was suddenly aware of the fact that we were in danger. Immediately John shouted back to the rest . . . "We're playing a game . . . step up front, go a little faster . . . sing it as you go."
With that John started chanting "Step up front, go a little faster" and set off at a fast pace . . . I realizing that he did not want to alarm the rest of the crowd, joined him in singing "Step up front, go a little faster" . . . and soon all six of us were racing across the bridge, singing as we went. The singing made enough noise, that none of the other four heard the oncoming train.
As soon as the bridge reached solid ground, John and I dived off of the trestle and those behind followed our example. It was just then that the west bound train whizzed by, our hats blew off, or at least the brims blew up, if our long hat pins kept the crowns firmly anchored. We all realized what a narrow escape we had had.
When our hearts started beating again, we continued our walk into Gallatin. We eventually caught the train to Trenton.
I don't remember whether the Chillicothe team won that game or not, but there were six loyal fans to shout encouragement. After the game, we went back to my aunts for supper and to stay all night. At 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning we were back at the Wabash train station to catch a train to Gallatin.
This time we rode all the way into Gallatin and found the station ice cold in the pre-dawn winter morning. We had to spend most of the day in Gallatin, since the train to Chillicothe didn't leave until 4:00 that afternoon. We found a warm church and stayed there for several hours. At noon we ate a prolonged dinner in what to my memory was McDonald's Tea Room. (Although not the same version that Virginia McDonald had much later).
We caught the train at 4:00 o'clock and by bedtime on Sunday evening, we were back home in Chillicothe.
FUN TIMES IN THE EARLY 1900's by Mignon Sparling
Sometimes my grandchildren have asked me "What did you do for fun, Grandma, when you were growing up?" I don't tell them, but I don't think this generation knows what fun really is. We made our fun ourselves and usually it involved getting together with a lot of other people.
Box suppers and pie suppers were really exciting events in those times. The Linville Community where I grew up had a lot of them, but sometimes we would venture further from home.
Floyd Thompson, one of our neighbors taught school up in American Bottoms west of Chula and a big wagon load of us decided to go up to a pie supper at his school house and to stay all night at the Thompson house. Each of the girls took a pie and after the fun at the pie supper we went to Floyd's parents' house and stayed all night.
The girls took their own blankets and slept upstairs on the floor, the boys slept downstairs or in the barn. There were twenty-three of us there for dinner the next day.
We decided to go to the Ward Church for services that morning. The Ward Church at that time had planks for seats. Whenever you went to a different church or school event, you had the opportunity of meeting new friends.
The young men of that day were' very competitive with their horses and buggies, and the fellow who made the most progress with the girls was perhaps the one with the best buggy and the matched team.
One time we had a Leap Year's party in the Linville Community and the girls had to take their family's horses and buggies and go after the boys. A few girls were lucky enough to ask nearby boys who could be walked after. I'm sure the older generation of our day said "What's this world coming to?"
Editor's Note:
I am thinking that some of our current RSVP members may wish to share an Old Time Tale. Please contact me.

General Discussion
Myoclonus is the term used to describe the sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles caused by muscle contractions (positive myoclonus) or muscle relaxation (negative myoclonus). The twitching or jerking of muscles cannot be controlled by the person experiencing it. Myoclonic jerks may occur infrequently or many times a minute. They sometimes occur in response to an external event or when a person attempts to make a movement. By itself, myoclonus may be seen as a symptom rather than a disease. To some degree, it may occur occasionally to otherwise healthy people. (For instance, hiccups may be considered a type of myoclonus.) In severe cases, it can interfere with movement control and balance, and limit various everyday activities such as eating or talking.

Those "salads" such as potato salad and macaroni salad can add fat and calories. Opt for a green salad instead.
Watch what you put on your burger or hot dog! Mayo can add hundreds of calories, but zippy mustard adds few.
Just not a barbecue without beef or pork? That's OK, says Mr. BBQ, Bruce Bjorkman. Grilling allows most of the fat to cook away from the food.
A burger gets healthier when eaten open-faced on half a bun or on a whole-grain bun.
Another low-fat, low-calorie and healthy option is grilled fish. Try salmon, shrimp, swordfish or any other densely fleshed fish.
Poultry, such as chicken or turkey, is another tasty, low-calorie option. Keep it moist by spritzing it with a combination of water and apple cider, bourbon or beer.
If you want to cut back on fat, veggie burgers and hot dogs offer healthy ingredients such as grains and vegetables.
So is grilled corn. Instead of butter, try dressing grilled corn with some lime juice and chili powder for a spicy treat.
And don't forget dessert! Keep the grill going and add peach halves, pineapple slices, bananas and more for a yummy, healthy finale!

Swiss meets American
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in IWC (29)
The Industrial Age was sweeping across Europe and North America. For the first time, time-consuming but quality traditional craftsmanship that had survived through generations came across new technologies that promised to speed up production, and the result was cross-bred brands that had looked back to their artistic past but had also moved forward to new exciting features. The International Watch Company or IWC of Switzerland is one case. In 1868, an American engineer founded the company in Switzerland seeking to merge state-of-the-art technologies with unmatched watchmaking mastery of complications that create precise movement. When Swiss met American, it was a marriage of innovation that easily built a name for IWC, the sole watchmaker on Switzerland's east side at that time—other watchmakers were on the west. Across time, the march of newer technologies, such as miniature batteries and transistor circuits, transformed IWC from purely mechanical complication to a hybrid of precision mechanics and electronics. Likewise, the brand is a pioneer of haute horlogerie, the art of timepiece design and science of watch movement, producing memorable IWC watches that exude precision engineering with a fashionable flair. Today, IWC Collections run from trendy robust watches to professional sports pieces, whether for undersea performance (Aquatimer) or timepiece for aviators (Pilot's Watches).
Shreve is an authorized dealer for IWC.

Wait, Pot Can Reduce Skin Cancer Risk?
A new cannabis-centric skin care line is being developed following study results that indicate it can help prevent skin cancers
READ: 20 Best Earth-Friendly Beauty Products
Researchers in Japan tested cannabinoids and found that they "displayed potent anti-inflammatory activity and marked inhibition of tumor promotion in two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis." Translation : a key component of weed seems to help stave off skin cancer.
Now, before you start getting baked before baking your bod on the beach, let's back track a little. According to an article in CosmeticDesigns.com, a U.S. Biotech company, on the heels of the Japanese results, is "developing a line of cosmetics based on synthetic cannabinoids" (compounds present in Cannabis and occur naturally in the nervous and immune systems of animals), meaning that your derm more than likely won't be issuing you a medical maryjane card any time soon.
Dr. Dorothy Bray, the President of the company that is developing the skin care line says that, " We have been focusing our efforts on meeting the ever increasing market demand for natural cannabinoid-based solutions. This evidence suggests our product lines, which include natural combinations of high-quality, organic cannabinoids, should yield efficacious anti-cancer properties cannabinoid-based treatments."
A great bonus of incorporating this type of ingredient into anti-aging cosmetics is that it appeals to eco-conscious consumers as well as beauty-obsessed customers.
Does it make sense to you that a plant found in nature would have anti-carcinogenic and even "fountain of youth" potential. Would you consider using it?

As part of our series highlighting women in tech for International Women's Day on March 8th we are we are featuring Gretchen Moran, Software Developer at Pentaho. Gretchen's title may be 'Software Developer,' however, over her nine years at Pentaho, she has worn many technical hats to help lead the company to where it is today!
Rosanne, Sarah, Michelle and Gretchen are just a few of the impressive women that work at Pentaho. Our goal with this series is to promote the theme of this year's International Women's Day…to inspire change. We encourage you to share their stories with girls and women to encourage them to become more interested in STEM or to hopefully bring more strong and smart women to the tech industry.
What do you do at Pentaho? How long have you been at Pentaho?
I have been developing software in the warehousing and business analytics space for 15 years, 9 of them with Pentaho.
I have held many different roles through my many years at Pentaho. When I haven't been coding, I have worked with our talented open source community, managed the technical side of larger Pentaho customer accounts as a Technical Account Manager, and consulted on numerous internal projects.
My current role is software developer for Pentaho Data Integration and Pentaho's Big Data stack of technology.
What inspired you to want you to work in technology?
I have always wanted to push boundaries. In college, I wanted to see how far I could take my interests in math and science. My college career began in the 90's, and computing and technology provided a great landscape to test my skills.
As I have grown in my career, working in technology has given me the challenges and change I need to stay engaged in my work. It has also allowed the flexibility I desire to be a great mom.
How do you think the industry could inspire more girls and women towards careers in technology?
I think we need to talk less about inspiring women toward technology, and talk more about how a career in technology can fuel any passion a person might have. Are you passionate about the medical field? Innovate some tech that will make medical records handling more efficient and private. Are you passionate about drama and acting? Pursue a career in graphics and animation; filmmaking today is as much technology as it is human resources. In my experience, the passion doesn't lie in the code; it lies in the industries you are coding for.
What advice do you have for women wanting to become a software developer?
Engage! The mainstreaming of open source makes this easier than ever today. Find a tutorial, get some code under your belt, and then start contributing to a project that means something to you. The best part is that there is a project for everyone. From open source medical records systems that serve third world countries to smart phone apps that help you find great shoes. It's all out there, anyone can contribute, and there are few barriers to entry.
The formal education for computer science does not need to be intimidating. As with any worthy endeavor, it requires focus and hard work, and is absolutely within reach if you are passionate about the subject. The key to finding passion in technology for me was realizing that no subject is outside the technology realm.
Confession – I am not a code junky. A new API or performance progress does not excite me. I get excited when a customer wins based on Pentaho solutions that revealed a market differentiator for them. I get excited when I see Pentaho Community Edition implementations powering countries and organizations that would otherwise be shut out of the business analytics value proposition.
I've had the privilege of giving this advice to many different demographic and age groups. I recently spoke to a computer club at a local middle school, and a week later gave the same talk to a house full of single moms in a transitional program. Technology from an open perspective is a meritocracy upon entry; it's up to the entrant to determine how far they will take it. That advice applies equally to boys AND girlsJ
What is a favorite memory you have about Pentaho?
My favorite memories will always be the first year(s) of Pentaho. There is a special energy that a company has as a startup. Late nights, bean bags for office chairs, and a few energetic developers working toward a common vision of disrupting the business intelligence industry is a wonderful thing I've been privileged to be a part of. I love that even as we have grown, we have kept this energy and passion for what we do as a company.
Fun Fact about you.
I love Christian mission work! I have served in New Orleans and Guatemala and have contributed to missions in Central America and Africa for the last five years.
I also have three of the greatest kids EVER… if I do say soJ

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< The issue as to Irving's ...
|The convergence of the hi... >
|Finding as to Irving's mo... >>
The relevant considerations
13.139 Issues as to a person's motivation have to be decided by reference not only to the direct evidence of the person concerned (in this case Irving) but also by reference to the surrounding circumstances from which inferences as to his motivation may be drawn. In the present case such circumstances include the nature and extent of the misrepresentations of the evidence together with Irving's explanation or excuse for them. But in my judgment it is relevant to take into account also such matters as Irving's conduct and attitudes outwith the immediate context of his work as a professional historian, including the evidence of his political or ideological beliefs as derived from his speeches, his diaries and his associates. I also consider that it is material to have regard to the manner in which he has conducted these proceedings. These are all matters from which inferences may legitimately be drawn as to Irving's motivation.

Volkswagen is trying to decide whether to send over from Europe its Golf GTD, the diesel counterpart to the sporty GTI hatchback.
VW tossed me the keys to a Scirocco Green German-market GTD for a long weekend and will buy me lunch to get my 2 cents.
The GTI earned the respect of American/Euro sport enthusiasts at the debut of the hot hatch in 1984 when VW's TV advertising put its vibe to the beat of the Ronnie and the Daytonas' "Little GTO." The spot showed a brace of rowdy Rabbits playing catch and catching air on a race track. The GTI name became a gold standard after that.
There are no plans to sell the current-generation GTD in the United States. But "I really want to bring it over with the next generation," said Rainer Michel, VW of America's vice president of product marketing and strategy.
In Europe, the GTD is sold in three- and five-door hatchback models with a six-speed manual or six-speed dual clutch (automated manual) with a Sport mode. Starting prices in the U.K. range from about $20,000 to $28,000. In the U.S., a GTI automatic starts at $25,390.
Volkswagen already sells a diesel-powered Golf TDI in the U.S. ($25,030 to start), which gets up to 40 mpg on the highway. It uses a 140-hp, turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 236 foot-pounds of torque at 1,750 rpm.
The GTD would move in with 170-hp and 258 lb.-ft. torque that peaks from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. That's the kind of low-end launch that creates diesel-believers.
Mileage mavens can still get approximately 40 mpg in standard mode, but grabbing Sport sharpens shift points and acceleration. There's barely a second's gasp of the turbo to activate and kick this ride in the backside. Acceleration is brisk at 0-62 mph in 8.1 seconds (about a second slower than the GTI) with a top speed limited to 137.
The dual-clutch wasn't exciting in daily driving. The manual would be more fun to manipulate the power when carving up a back road.
The GTD should be an oily halo that primes enthusiasts to pay a little more for a juiced diesel. The current GTD is likable, but it wasn't love at first twist of the key. It should be as quick as the GTI and it needs a mouthy exhaust that talks smack to competitors, including the Fiat 500 Abarth, Honda Civic Si and Mazdaspeed3.
The price of diesel stayed constant through the recent gas spike, which almost seemed cheap when compared to petrol. It's not – but when it's flowing through a juiced GTD, who cares!

MORAGA -- On Jan. 18, three of the four screens in Moraga's New Rheem Theatre complex will go dark indefinitely as the historic movie palace succumbs to modern-day Americans With Disabilities Act code issues.
An aging elevator, diagnosed by the McKinley Elevator and Hankin Specialty Elevators firms as "unrepairable," means access to the three upper-level theaters is no longer available to disabled patrons.
Theater owner and operator Derek Zemrak said, "Obviously, we want to comply with the ADA. We've worked on the elevator for 2¿1/2 years and put in more than $10,000 to keep it operating. Last month, it just broke down completely."
Letters and verbal complaints from area residents who claimed the malfunctioning lift was discriminatory to seniors, along with a recent fine from the Department of Justice, which oversees ADA compliance, clinched the deal, Zemrak said.
"Even though the theater is thriving, with increased attendance across the board, it's like dodging an eight-ball," he admitted.
The elevator, which rises along a curved path instead of vertically, will cost $30,000 to replace. The circuit boards are outdated, and parts to repair other deteriorating elements no longer exist, which means repair is not an option.
"Some of the same people who complained are now saying 'Oh, this is tragic,' so we all want to get over this hurdle and get it up to code," Zemrak said.
Until the issue is resolved, the Rheem will be a one-screen theater.
Special programs scheduled for Jan. 18 and beyond will be canceled, and Zemrak said he and his staff are hoping for support from the community, local businesses and an Oscar night fundraiser.
Carlos Rangel, one of the owners of Shelby's Restaurant in Orinda, heard about the situation and within 24 hours offered to help. On Jan. 18, the day three of the Rheem's screens will shut down, 15 percent of Shelby's sales will be donated to the Rheem Elevator Fund.
"We've been in the same situation," Rangel said. "We once had rent issues. We wanted the support of other businesses. The chamber of commerce helped by advocating for us. The community wrote letters. Small businesses should stick together."
Rangel says his business is benefiting from increased attendance at the Orinda Theatre (managed by the same people as the New Rheem), and he doesn't want the economic boost to disappear.
"It's now my time to step up, and hopefully, other businesses will jump in to help. It's the only way we are going to survive."
It could take three months to order, manufacture and install a new elevator.
A red carpet Oscar Party at the theater, already in the plans for Feb. 24, could play a key role in re-opening the upper levels.
"Half of the (elevator) fund could be raised just in that one night," Zemrak said. "I'm optimistic it can all work out, but my main concern is that people were saying, 'This is the same thing that happened to the bowling alley.'"
The loss of the Rheem Valley Bowl, opened in 1960 and closed when the trust owners wanted to sell the property in 1999, still bothers local residents.
"This theater will be preserved," Zemrak insisted. "It's become an integral part of the community."

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Apr. 9, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- "The time comes when the old have to move on to make way for the new, for the young," says Chief Deputy Dwayne Courtney of the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
After 10 years at the there and 20 at the Aiken Department of Public Safety, Chief Deputy Courtney will do just that.
"It's been a long career, it's been a challenging career," he says. "But it's been, I think, the absolute most rewarding thing that a person can do."
Courtney found his love of public safety at just 14 years old as a volunteer at a fire station. After serving as an MP in the U.S. Army, he joined Aiken Public Safety under legendary Chief Carrol Busbee.
"You know, I can hear Carrol Busbee to this day. 'Shug, bump it up in to neutral!' And I always knew what he meant," says Courtney, explaining that he, as a young officer, would sometimes get a little worked up.
He made it to the rank as Captain there until newly elected Sheriff Michael Hunt made him his Chief Deputy in 2003.
"Dwayne's somebody that's got a lot of experience but will not tell you what you want to hear," says Sheriff Hunt.
Sheriff Hunt and Chief Deputy Courtney say the leadership change will allow the department to grow. They've recently announced that Captain Troy Elwell will fill Courtney's shoes, and Elwell tells News 12 they'll be big shoes to fill.
"He's young, energetic, very forward-thinking, he's been the face of the agency now for several years," says Courtney of Elwell.
Elwell says he'll take a very hands-on approach and inject in more community policing too.
But the question is already popping up. As the sheriff grows older, could this new, younger leadership run for sheriff one day?
"You always want to, as a CEO, develop folks for the future, because the fact is, nobody will be here forever, so you want to look down the line," says Hunt. "But I don't have any plans of quitting yet."
Courtney says he'll miss the people the most, and he'll miss his influence on the men and women there. However, his new job won't take him far away. He'll still be in the area, and he adds that he'll still be just a phone call away.
"He's been a great mentor," says Aiken Department of Public Safety Director Charles Barranco, adding that even as director, he still calls on Courtney for advice.
His last day is April 25.

Criminal Justice
Careers in Criminal Justice include a wide variety of job opportunities. There are approximately 60 different Federal Law Enforcement Agencies and numerous State and local law enforcement agencies that vary from State to State.
Positions within Courts include bailiffs (from law enforcement), Court Clerks, Court Reporters, Judges, Prosecutors, and Defense Attorneys. Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, and most Judges are required to have a law degree, which often includes a certain amount of Criminal Justice classes.
Then there is Corrections. There are Federal and State Corrections as well as private industry positions in jails and prisons. In addition to correctional officer positions and the administrative careers they may lead to, there are numerous supplemental positions in Corrections as well. Positions within corrections often involve counselors, therapist, nurses, educators, theologians, and many others. Have you ever considered Juvenile or Adult Probation? Those positions are available in both Federal and State Agencies. What about Parole? The reality is Criminal Justice is way much more than just "being a cop."

I don't like surveillance cameras in general. I hate them in nature. This is not because they might immortalize my image poaching a closed Droste or Rim trail someday, either.
It's just not right. Surveillance cameras belong in warehouses, parking garages, and along prison fences; not in the places we head to get away from the part of the world that is already overpopulated with them.
How stealthily have these eyes in the Skyline sprung up? Until a couple of weeks ago I didn't know there were motion-sensor cameras installed on the Rim and Droste trails. I learned about Big Brother's right eye on Droste through an article in The Aspen Times. I learned about the left one when a couple friends got caught by a click on the north Rim Trail. The article explaining the purpose of the cameras in the paper was disturbing. Two ladies getting busted with them turned my trepidation real.
I am not defending anyone who is using our trails illegally. We proceed with civil disobedience knowingly and fully cognizant of the risks of being caught and punished for our premeditated disregard for the rules. Neither is it that I think the use of cameras gives people charged with enforcing the laws an unfair advantage against scofflaws. For those who believe breaking the rules is a game, I believe the odds for winning should be stacked in favor of law enforcers.
What gals me about cameras in the wild is simply that they are there. I understand that they are not put there to hassle people, but they can be used for that anyway. I know they were installed to monitor elk and bird mating and migration without the physical intrusion of human beings. But, a camera is a camera is a camera and, no matter what its intended purpose, it can snap an image of a human being as easily as it can a black bear. If you are on the Rim or Droste trails and make one move, false or otherwise, you will be captured in pixels. Someone has the ability to know exactly where you were and when.
It is an impersonal intrusion into what should be a very personal experience. It is an impersonal intrusion into a few of the places left where we don't want them, don't expect them, and, until recently, didn't know were happening. That's quite a violation! I can talk to a trail ranger. We can exchange pleasantries and information. Or, we can ignore each other. Whatever, it is an encounter with a person who is standing in front of me, and I'm wired for that. But, how am I to contemplate the beauty before me knowing there might be a wireless lens focused on me, beaming my whereabouts to a computer screen in a cubicle in a government office somewhere?
I do not think this is part of a conspiracy theory. I don't believe the installation of motion-sensitive cameras in our recreation areas is part of some grand plan to subjugate us to tyranny in the future. I have not even considered it a possibility that incriminating cycling-in-Lycra photos will one day be used to blackmail an otherwise respected local. I just think it's a bunch of crap.
I get the part about protecting animals. What I don't get is that we have to get close-up shots of elk when they happen to wander in front of a camera concealed in a tree. To monitor the migration of an elk herd, I think old technology works better. From safe distances, high-powered binoculars are much better for tracking an entire herd or a lone wolf. You can see all the animals. You can see their tracks. You can tell where they have been and which direction they are heading ... in real time, color, and HD! How does a grainy black and white image on a computer screen every now and then when an animal happens to walk in front of a stationary camera beat that?
I have two proposals to deal with this intrusion. First, and most simple, take the damn cameras down immediately! If that doesn't happen, I think this is a big enough deal that the people of this community, who have provided the millions of tax dollars needed to purchase these precious lands, should vote on whether or not it is appropriate to have cameras in our backcountries. Of course, I'm assuming that nobody has installed cameras in the voting booths, yet.
Roger Marolt thinks it's OK to get worked up over an intrusion like this. Contact him at email@example.com.

Gov. Bobby Jindal should be commended for his attempts to eliminate Louisiana's income tax and replace the revenue with an expanded sales tax.
The Civitas Institute recently released a report showing that this type of reform would greatly benefit North Carolina.
In particular, the study concludes that if North Carolina had implemented this reform in 2000, the state would now be enjoying between $1,500 and $2,600 more in income per worker per year.
Moreover, it would have directly led to the creation of up to 378,000 new jobs over the past decade. The research backs up the rhetoric: Eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a sales tax is a reform that works for everyone.

Deer Valley High boys basketball coach LeChet Phillips has been placed on administrative leave while the district investigates a fight that occurred during a freshman basketball game on Friday.
According to Phillips, during the fight, some fans and parents went after his wife and he jumped in to protect her.
"I had to protect my wife," Phillips said.
Keith Rogenski, the assistant superintendent for human resources at the Antioch Unified School District, said the decision to place Phillips on leave came from principal Ken Gardner.
"There were some allegations regarding some of (Phillips') conduct that took place during the fight," Rogenski said. "The principal decided that a district investigation needed to take place."
The investigation is ongoing, Rogenski said. The district hopes to complete it in a timely manner, but the primary focus is to make sure the investigation is "thorough and complete," Rogenski said.
"I'm just trying to go with the process," Phillips said. "I don't feel it was just, but that's not my call. I'm not particularly happy with the situation."
Assistant coach Pat Saindon is coaching the team in his absence.
Deer Valley (19-5, 7-1 Bay Valley Athletic League) faces Freedom (18-7, 8-1) on Thursday in a showdown that should decide the league title. The Wolverines, ranked No. 4 in the Bay Area News Group East Bay poll, are also a contender for the top seed in the North Coast Section Division I playoffs. Behind Kentucky-bound Marcus Lee and UNLV-bound Kendall Smith, Deer Valley is considered a state title contender in Division I.

Plainfield, landowner, and hikers clash over trail access on conservation easement
PLAINFIELD - A homeowner who bought a wooded parcel of land in 2010 is now objecting to the presence of a popular hiking trail on her property, despite a conservation easement that guarantees public access to most of her 104 acres. Property owner Jennifer Lesser says the Secret Trail, part of a network of trails behind Plainfield Elementary School that leads to French�s Ledges, has proven to be a nuisance that infringes on her family�s privacy.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
These handsome paperback editions of Samuel Eliot Morison's multivolume The History of United States Naval Operations in World War II are being published by the Naval Institute Press with new introductions by noted military historians. The series, hailed for its accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, presents a complete naval record of the war. An eminent Harvard professor, Morison gained a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve and served in all theaters of the war. His books have won two Pulitzer and two Bancroft Prizes.
Volume 8 covers five of the most eventful months of the Pacific war. From the end of the Marshall Islands campaign to the recovery of Guam, Morison author details the actions of the entire Pacific Fleet. Particular emphasis is given to the greatest carrier action of all time, the battle of the Philippine Sea, a naval action equal to Midway in tactical interest which was decisive in the outcome of the war. He also covers the bitterly contested Marianas Operation, giving credit to the flexibility and fortitude of U.S. forces.
"Revisiting Samuel Eliot Morison's epic narrative of World War II at sea is like returning to an art museum to savor a favorite masterpiece. Few historians have ever told this story with such precision and eloquence. Morison knew ships and the sea, understood grand strategy and macro logistics, enjoyed access to key contemporaries such as Chester Nimitz and Franklin Roosevelt, and quite likely observed naval operations in more corners of the world than any other American. " — Col. Joseph H. Alexander, USMC (Ret.) in his introduction to Volume 7, author of Utmost Savagery: The Three Days of Tarawa and Storm Landings: Epic Amphibious Battles in the Central Pacific

During press call on Wednesday, former "Seinfeld" actor John O'Hurley was asked who he though would finish atop the leader board at this year's American Century Championship, which will be played at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course July 20-22.
"I think it's going to be between Jack (Wagner) and Danny Quinn," he said.
Former San Francisco 49ers great Jerry Rice playfully shouted to O'Hurley: "John, John it's going to be between us."
Rice re-stated his prediction when he got a crack at the question. "I think it's going to be John and I at Edgewood in that final group."
O'Hurley finished at the top of "Dancing with the Stars," but his best showing at Edgewood was 41st in 2003. Rice, on the other hand, has cracked the top 10 - barely. In 2009 he finished in the 10 spot, and last year was 15th. While those are respectable finishes and it isn't completely laughable to picture him with the winner's trophy, there are several celebrities other than Rice favored to finish first.
Dallas Cowboy's quarterback Tony Romo finished second to Wagner last year, who won the event for the second time. Quinn is a four-time winner of the event, finishing second three times and never doing worse than eighth. Then there is eight-time winner Rick Rhoden. His worst finish was also eighth, but until 2010 had done no worse than fifth.
But this year, Rice likes his chances to finish near the top.
"My setup is a lot better this year, the way I'm positioning myself over the ball. I'm really hitting it good," he said. "I can see exactly what I want to do and how to approach the hole and not just get out there and hit the ball."
Rice said he always felt comfortable on the football field, but not so much on the golf course. But that is changing.
"I think I'm feeling more confident this year. The confidence is there, but it's just that it's a learning process. It's not something I've done all my life," he said. "I'm excited about my progress and the direction I'm going."
Even though others might not think so, Rice feels like that direction is up the leader board.
"There's nothing wrong with being an underdog a little bit, I have no problem with that. There are some good golfers in this tournament," he said. "I don't mind being the underdog. I feel like my game is really progressing the right way. I was able to crack the top 10 and I hope to be in the top five soon."

"We can't tolerate this anymore," President Obama said on Sunday evening in Newtown, Conn., following the unspeakably tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "We are not doing enough and we will have to change."
His remarks were not dissimilar to those made by U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat from Colorado, who said this summer, "I think we should, and I think that's where it starts," when asked about reinstating the assault-weapons ban after the movie theater massacre in Aurora.
And yet here we are. Again. And again. And again.
On Election Day 2012, for the second time in four years, Colorado made its mark on the map as a solidly blue state. As such, it seems there's no moment like the present for the Centennial State to stop acting quite so yellow, doing nothing more than chatting about change when the cameras are rolling, and instead reflect somberly on our anachronistic gun laws and think bravely and earnestly about making significant modifications to ensure a less violent future.
The Wild West was tamed ages ago. Colorado has long since become the crown jewel of the glorious West, where we've proven through our lifestyle - and elected officials - that social, environmental and quality-of-life issues are close to our hearts.
As such, it's about time we recognize that eyes on the back of our heads and a finger on the trigger at all times is not only unnecessary, but also unreasonably mistrustful. We've evolved meaningfully - although judging by the easy availability of such agents of death as a Smith and Wesson .223-caliber assault rifle outfitted with a 100-round magazine, it's hard to really blame those who fear a high-noon shoot-out outside the swinging doors of the saloon.
It's a deadly cycle, though: We're scared of others wielding weapons, so we go out and buy them for ourselves as a means of self-defense. It's safe to say, however, that most members of Colorado's imaginary militia are arming themselves out of paranoia instead of a threat-based in reality.
While students on college campuses around the country have had to run for their lives too many times to count from deranged classmates firing guns - and 20 6- and 7-year-olds were outrageously and horrendously robbed of their heartbreakingly precious lives on Dec. 14 in Newtown - Colorado colleges and universities are forced to welcome students bearing arms thanks to a recent state Supreme Court ruling upholding a ghastly law allowing students with concealed-weapons permits on campus.
A Sept. 22 article in The New York Times about the unease of faculty members at the University of Colorado regarding the law said one particular CU-Colorado Springs student carries a Ruger p90 pistol on campus "for protection" when he leaves school in the dark.
It's hard to argue against someone who needs legitimate defense, except CU-Colorado Springs security guards are actually state-certified police officers who meet the same qualifications as municipal law enforcement officials; plus they carry weapons, can make arrests and readily offer to escort students at night, according to a university spokeswoman. Emergency phones are located throughout that campus, too, and other CU campuses have similar and additional protections in place.
Without diminishing students' fears of walking alone in deserted areas late in the evening, carrying a gun when armed and trained professionals are available for literal and figurative hand-holding is like showing up to squash a spider with a grenade missing its pin.
Maybe some people live in neighborhoods so unsafe they feel as if they have no choice but to keep a pistol under their pillow, but just how adept at using it will they be if awoken from a deep slumber? Can they be certain those bumps in the night weren't a raccoon knocking over a trashcan or their teenage children sneaking in past curfew? Have burglar alarms been ruled out? What about working with local police departments to beef up neighborhood security? Maybe get a stronger lock on the front door?
We need to figure out how to stop laypeople from being so ready and willing to mete out punishments that aren't on par with crimes that haven't even been committed. And we need to hold our elected officials to being proactive instead of reactive.
Last Thursday, the day before the bloodbath in Newtown, Colo., Gov. Hickenlooper told the Associated Press he planned on introducing a gun control debate among state lawmakers next month. But will the corpses of 20 first-graders be what it finally takes for President Obama, Rep. Perlmutter, Gov. Hickenlooper and their colleagues to get specific and take actual action instead of speaking in stirring and debate-worthy but ultimately empty terms?
It's a hopeful sign that we voted to keep Colorado's rivers and streams running blue, but we also need to make sure this cowardly yellow tint we've been harboring for so long doesn't stain them blood red.

I know this is a basketball forum, but what do you guys make of the Michael Phelps photo of him smoking dope? Is it a big deal or is it getting blown out of proportion? He needs to know he is one of the biggest athletes in the world, and he can't put himself into situations that could ruin his reputation.
I think this could hurt his sponsorships the worst. He is stilla young guy (24) but he has to realize everything he does will be scrutinize. Yet, u cannot judge him for smoking dope bc im sure many people around his age group do the same. But they do not own 8 gold medals in last years olympics
good point, he is not just a regular college kid who likes to smoke pot. If he wants to get high, show a little restraint and do it when someone cant take a picture of you with their camera phone. Yes pot really is not that bad, its not like he got caught with steriods or hard street drugs, but it is still illegal and it tarnishes his image. He has to know he is a role model for so many young swimmers out there. He needed to be the bigger man and not try to act cool by getting high with a bunch of college kids. Every one of theose kids at that party would kill to be in his shoes, and he might have ruined his reputation because he wanted to be cool.
His reputation and his millions of dollars which might have been lost could be the biggest hit. Now I hear the sheriff of the town wants to pursue charges which is absurd.
He just officially apologized for what he did. Its a shame bc he seems like a good kid and shouldnt be judged on what he did but then again Penny was judged bc of his poor acting skills in Blue Chips
This is strike two for phelps. In 2004 he got a DUI in Salisbury, MD. Now he got caught smoking drugs. People are going to judge him alot i think. He is or was an american role model. I think it tells kids if Michael phelps can get high and win gold medals then so can I. Phelps needs to grow up and know that people will take advantage of him if they can.
I would like to be the kid who took the picture. He probably got a real nice pay day for that photo, shop it around to the highest bidder.
P.S. Blue chips was the best penny has ever played, and he would have been good if it wasnt for Neon Bidoux
Yea he has to know who he is with. I think he did not realize how many people are out to take advantage of him.
ps. Neon Bidoux didnt want a car
I guess now he does know how many are out to get him. But he should have known that before hanging out with those kids.
And it wasn't a car, it was a lexus.
Phelps is a lucky man today, because A-Rod just bailed him out. So long Michael. See you in three years.
I hope Phelps cashed in while he could. If not, I do not know if he can afford those 3,000 calroie breakfasts much longer.
Valid point there Eric, A-Rod is all the headlines and Michael Phelps is just the back page news now. and he also wont be affording those 3000 calorie meals if he has a big pot habbit to feed.
The pot habit is why he needs 3000 calories.
hahaha very good point Eric. Phelps might have been eating breakfast routinely alongside the trailblazers squad of '02 and snoop dog
Yea I mean why else would he have Cheetos inside his six egg omelet. 3000 calories is just a serious case of the munchies.
Speaking of Drugs, I heard Jamal Anderson, aka the dirty bird, got caught with pot and coke.
Also Freddy Mitchell, aka fred Ex, got caught with a fed ex package addressed to him with seven pounds of weed in it.
these guys are such idiots. I hate freddy mitchell
