Growing winter canola in Kansas is still a relatively new experience for many producers, but the crop is catching on. K-State Research and Extension is planning several opportunities this spring for producers to learn more about winter canola production practices and risk management, including tours at producers' and experiment fields across the state.
"We are committed to helping Kansas farmers know the ins and outs of canola production to help them be successful with the crop," said K-State Research and Extension canola breeder, Mike Stamm. "Risk management is critical when growing a new crop. Tremendous progress has been made during the past several years and we are excited to share this information with interested growers."
Attendees will learn about the current growth stage, yield potential, and late season insect and disease pressures. Harvest management options and marketing of grain will also be discussed.
The field tours are part of a cooperative agreement between K-State and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency to promote canola production and educate producers on good farming practices and risk management strategies. The U.S. Canola Association's Promote Canola Acres Program, which is administered by the Great Plains Canola Association in Kansas and Oklahoma, will serve as co-sponsor.
The 2013 dates, directions, start times and descriptions for the field tours include:
• May 1 – Marquette (11 a.m.) Drive 1½ miles west of Marquette on KS-4. The field is on the south side of the road. See 24 commercial winter canola varieties and a producer's canola field.

just bought the netgear r6300 5g router for obvious reasons...speed.
the macbook is running faster and all devices are working better. issue is, i was running without stuttering while streaming movies/shows on the old router. now that the new netgear is installed, it's stuttering like crazy. checked the speed of the macbook and i'm using 5g from the router and running anywhere from 20mbps to 24mbps.
is there a setting in the media server that's causing the issue that it's actually running slower on the faster network? why would it happen on a faster router and not on the slower/older router?

Executors of Michael Jackson's estate are asking a judge to provide more money to TJ Jackson to care for Michael's three children.
Michael's nephew TJ is acting as surrogate parent to Paris, Prince and Blanket, and is their co-guardian, along with their grandmother Katherine. According to TMZ, TJ is struggling to provide for the children financially, as he has his own wife and three kids to provide for.
Paperwork filed with the court say TJ spends 40 hours a week caring for Michael's children. Although he's been a co-guardian since July, he hasn't received any money from the estate, according to TMZ.
The executors are asking the judge to allow them to pay TJ $9,000 a month, retroactive to July.

"No slow songs ever." That's what lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Poke Keithley promises of a Universally Famous Rocket Surgeons show, taking place tonight at The Motherloaded Tavern, 103 S. Main St. in Breckenridge. The Breck-based band is into "drinkin', rockin' and dancin', according to their Facebook page. Keithley describes the group's sound as "rockabilly cowpunk," citing Sun Records, Stray Cats and Reverend Horton Heat as inspiration. The last time the group played The Motherloaded, Brett Lomoro's bass "crumbled into a pile of kindling wood during the last song," Keithley said. The group is recording its next five shows for an upcoming "Live" disc. The show starts at 10 p.m. and there's no cover.

Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Horror
Colorado Debut
Director Rob Grant in Attendance!
Screens at 7:30pm Sat, Oct 6th and 2:30pm Sun, Oct 7th
Cal and Teddy, two former best friends, try to rekindle their friendship by hatching a plan to kidnap their boss's daughter from where they work, 'Hal's Hardware'. But both their plans and their relationship with one another is tested as everything falls apart around them.
It's Fargo meets Dumb and Dumber in this horror movie disguised as a buddy comedy.
Mon Ami just had its World Premiere at Fantasia Film Festival 2012 to extremely positive reviews:
"this one immediately shot into my Top 5 for the festival thus far. An absolute winner."
"Violent accidents begin to accumulate while the bodies begin to pile up in this hilarious film with an original ending."
"Out of all of the comedies, and generally comedic films, at Fantasia this year Mon Ami was easily the bloodiest, and got the biggest laughs."
"Its combination of brutal violence and laughs is, I suspect because of the lovably loathsome protagonists, a winning one."

Liberty Movement
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:14 a.m.
There is a great deal of Monday morning quarterbacking following the defeat of Mitt Romney amongst Republicans. Some say we need to be more moderate.
Most say the opposite, and we need to stick to our conservative principles. Some say we need to turn to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Miami, to lead our party because he will bring the Hispanic vote. I disagree.
We don't need to bring just Hispanics to the party. It needs to be much larger than that.
We need to bring all races, sexes, ages, Democrats and Independents into the party. Here is how we can do it.
There is a fast-growing liberty movement in America. It is extremely popular on the Internet and among young people. It is the fastest growing political movement in America. It is based on a return to limited Constitutional government, no more policing the world and foreign wars, a non-interventionist foreign policy, a strong dollar policy, restoration of personal liberties and getting our federal fiscal house in order.
The Constitution brings all Americans together. It is a winning strategy and the best thing that could happen to America. Mitt Romney rejected the liberty movement in many ways and in my opinion that was the biggest factor in his defeat.
Support liberty candidates, starting with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. He will be a wonderful president. If you want to know more about the liberty movement, I recommend www.dailypaul.com. It is a great place to get your daily liberty movement news.

—Chambers USA 2016
Latham's appellate lawyers have achieved success for clients in high-stakes, high-profile appeals with far-reaching implications across a broad spectrum of substantive areas. The appellate team also frequently handles complex litigation and dispositive motions in the lower courts and before regulatory agencies. Latham's hallmark collaborative approach ensures that before a matter even reaches the appellate phase, the firm's appellate lawyers are working hand-in-hand with trial teams to ensure that issues are persuasively framed and preserved for appeal.
Led by a former US Solicitor General, Latham's appellate team has represented clients in numerous groundbreaking and bet-the-company cases, with an outstanding record before the US Supreme Court and other appellate courts. The practice repeatedly has been singled out by The National Law Journal, Chambers USA, The American Lawyer and others for its results, and recognized by the Financial Times for its innovative work in securing path-marking victories.
Latham appellate practitioners have appeared before the Supreme Court 18 times since 2007 alone, representing Fortune 100 corporations, State governments, leading educational institutions and individuals. The appellate team regularly prepares petitions for certiorari, as well as merits and amicus briefs. The practice has secured certiorari in nearly a dozen cases on behalf of firm clients in the past few years alone, a track record that The National Law Journal recognized as exceptional.
Latham's appellate lawyers have served at all levels in the US Office of the Solicitor General and clerked for Supreme Court Justices and judges serving on every US federal courts of appeals, providing them with crucial insights into the US appellate court system. The firm has argued and briefed hundreds of cases before the Supreme Court and federal and state courts of appeals.

My name is Jamison Huhner and my blog presents and discusses claims to fame for small towns all over the U.S. And other random nonsense. Claims to fame include celebrity residents past and present, historic events (battles, crimes), oddities, records of some sort and a million other things. I'm a graduate of Devils Lake Central and, eventually, a graduate from the University of North Dakota with degrees in Russian/Soviet studies and business. After college I moved south to Atlanta before finally ending up in Nashville where I now live with my wife and twin boys.
I was walking around downtown Nashville with my three year old boy the other day when he discovered an "A" shaped sidewalk sign promoting today's special in front of a restaurant. (see photo) He disappeared into the sign and began telling stories about the "house" he had just found. I needed a little rest anyway so I just settled in, leaning against the building and watching the homeless people that tended to congregate in a nice little park, fountain and all, across the street.
Suddenly a pack of five or six young teenagers from a local church came swirling up, clipboards in hand, faces full of excitement, all giddy with the joy of Christ's salvation. I figured I was about to get hit with a petition or a survey or a gentle request for a small donation to some charity or another when their leader, a pimply faced, red-headed kid stepped bravely forward and asked me how I felt about the services of the Nashville Rescue Mission. Halfway through politely explaining to him that I wasn't exactly familiar with their work, I was interrupted by Beck poking his head out from his house. I told him to play some more and he disappeared again. I apologized for the interruption and they gave me an odd look. They gave an even odder look when I took a couple of bucks out of my pocket and offered it to their charity. Their leader declined, explaining that they weren't allowed to accept any money. They wished me a good day and went on their way.
"A bit strange," I thought as they crossed the street and began talking to the other homeless people. "Hey, wait a minute," I thought, "could it be that…?"
I turned around to look at my reflection in the window. I was wearing a beat up old FILA hoodie with a little bit of white paint on it, my jeans had seen better days and, because it was the weekend, it had been a couple of days since my last shave. My hair was a little messed up from having just carried Beck on my shoulders and the cruel window hid what I thought might have been at least a trace of youth in my face and I thought to myself, "Yep."

Last week, Amazon Studios posted for all to see the first three episodes of "Alpha House," an original political satire set in Washington, D.C. This week, it jumps coasts and lands in the Bay Area with the Silicon Valley startup sitcom, "Betas." Apparently, Amazon has a thing for the Greek alphabet.
"Betas," follows four tech-savvy pals as they attempt to strike it rich with a new mobile social networking app. The cast is mainly stocked with fresh faces, except for veteran actor Ed Begley Jr., who is a hoot as hippie-turned-investment mogul George "The Murch" Murchison.
The show crackles with witty (and jargony) banter and mostly succeeds at making its tech world fun and engaging -- something Randi Zuckerberg's "Start-Up: Silicon Valley" reality series too often failed to do.
But the problem with "Betas" is that it's an uneven endeavor that's just good enough to make you wish it were better.
For example, it has a standout character in Nash (Karan Soni), a programming prodigy who digs Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins tunes. He's brilliant, but his anal work habits and introverted ways are holding him back, not to mention the fact that he doesn't like to wear pants. He's sweet and endearing and you instantly want to root for him.
But "Betas" also contains stock characters like Hobbes (Jon Daly), a loud-mouthed, Adderall-popping, porn-loving slacker. At 35, he's older than the other guys and sadly realizes that his window of opportunity may be closing soon.
"Thirty-five is like 95 in valley years," he moans.
Daly does bring some needed energy to the proceedings, but we've seen way too many guys like him on TV and film, and too often, he's more annoying than amusing.
As for the app they hope to hit big with, well it's an iffy proposition -- sucking in a user's private information in order to find his or her perfect match. A female character calls it "a stalker's wet dream."
Oh, and one more little bothersome point to make: We know the Golden Gate Bridge is really pretty and cable cars are fun, but can someone please inform Hollywood that San Francisco is not the heart of Silicon Valley?
As with "Alpha House," the first three episodes of "Betas" will be posted on Friday and be available for free for anyone on Amazon.com. Future episodes will appear on a one-a-week basis and will require a subscription to Amazon Prime.

Roger makes 26th Grand Slam quarter-final in a row
Today Roger powered his way into a 26th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final in a row by defeating Austria's Jürgen Melzer (ATP 13) 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in a night match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Roger played with his accustomed style on the court, registering 41 winners to 23 for the Austrian as he continued his run at Flushing Meadows without the loss of a set.
Nevertheless, our champion had some luck in the second set tie-break with two net-cords and had to recover from a break down in the third set, but was always in control of the match. "Obviously, the tiebreakers are always crucial," Roger said. "It was a tough match today, breezy. He's a tough opponent and a close friend of mine so it was never going to be easy. I'm really relieved and happy to get through."
Roger's next match is scheduled for Wednesday against Robin Soderling.
CAN say only BRAVO and

Temperatures soared into the triple digits Wednesday, and very little wind meant pollution got trapped.
Summertime means heading outdoors. That can mean lots of running around in triple digit temperatures.
Physical activity raises your internal temperature past 98.6 degrees. Add in the hundred degree heat and the humidity and it feels like 105.
Olympic soccer player Shannon McMillan runs a soccer camp for young athletes.
"I'm not used to this heat," she says. "Being from San Diego, the heat is like hitting a brick wall."
You can see it steaming up from the streets.
Asphalt soaks up the sun, keeping the heat close to the ground.
The air quality is another issue.
Columbia County Emergency Services director Pam Tucker says that's not just a risk for people with preexisting medical conditions. Healthy people will probably feel the effects as well.
"This is not a day for a walk, much less strenuous activity in this weather," Tucker says.
That's why McMillan is keeping a close eye on the kids.
"These young ones will go till they drop," she says.
That's why lots of water and breaks in the shade are important if you're spending time under the summer sun.
Remember, just because it's dark outside doesn't mean the danger has passed.
There's something called "Urban Heat Island Effect". That's when the heat stored in the concrete slowly releases throughout the night, which produces higher than normal nighttime temperatures.

Rotavirus infections
Rotaviruses are a leading cause of severe diarrhoeal disease and dehydration in infants and young children throughout the world. Most symptomatic episodes occur in young children between the ages of 3 months and 2 years. The virus spreads rapidly, presumably through person-to-person contact, airborne droplets, or possibly contact with contaminated toys.
Symptoms usually appear approximately two to three days after infection, and include projectile vomiting and very watery diarrhoea, often with fever and abdominal pain. The first infection is usually the worst one.
There is no specific drug treatment for rotavirus infection, although oral rehydration therapy is recommended. There are now two new rotavirus vaccines to prevent severe rotavirus disease.

I have a couple questions regarding a possible hub conversion.
A friend gave me a set of Mavic Ksyrium SL Superlight Premium wheels as a gift. However, I have a 2009 Specialized Allez Sport road bike with Shimano components, which means I'll need to convert the Ksyriums to Shimano hubs, plus a new cassette for the rear wheel.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Wow, that's a heckuva friend! Nice gift.
Yes, this is something you can easily do yourself, or have your LBS do it for you. If you know what you're doing, it only takes a few minutes. If you don't know what you're doing this will take a few minutes more, but it's something you can definitely do yourself. Unless you actually blow up the hub you can't do too much damage to it. At the very least, take it to the LBS and have them look at it, and maybe make sure you have the right tools.
Most of the wrenches at the LBS are happy to share the wealth of knowledge. Even moreso if you are willing to say thanks.
As far as which type of shimano hub, I'm confused. Mavic has a freehub converter you can buy from Mavic. I would suggest that one. I assume you're going from campy to shimano? SRAM and Shimano use the same freehub. If you're referring to the cassette (grouping of gears) to put on said hub, I would suggest the same gearing you're currently riding. If you're going to climb and depending on what kind of gearing you have in the front, I would suggest a 12-25 or a 12-27. Are you a good climber now? If you're a good climber now, you can probably get away with a more aggressive gearing.
Does that help?
Thanks CT! My fault for the confusion, as I was not aware the SRAM and Shimano use the same freehub. I am still somewhat of a newbie to cycling, so I am trying to expand my knowledge of bike components and maintenance. I don't know if the Ksyriums came with a Campy freehub or a Shimano/SRAM freehub, but based on the images of each type that I compared online, I'm almost sure it is the latter. Like you suggested, I'll just take it into a shop this weekend and humbly ask a mechanic to school me a bit in freehubs and installing cassettes.
I can climb comfortably on my bike, but I am by no means the guy who is out in front of the pack. I'll probably stick with the less aggressive gearing for now until I become a more proficient climber.
By the way, I'd be interested any resources you could recommend for becoming more knowledgeable about bike components and maintenance. Thanks!
No problem. It's kind of silly that SRAM and Shimano have been able to figure it out, but campy has to be "that guy" and wreck the whole works. It seems like it would make more sense to just make that freehub universal, right? People that get paid more than you and I no doubt are making that decision.
It looks like you already have the bible for bike repair, and I'm not sure what else I would suggest.
Like I mentioned, most of the wrenches at the LBS are happy to help. If they're not, just try another shop and don't return to the first one.
The one point I would make about bike maintenence is know when you're in too far and don't be afraid to ask for help. The truth is, you can really muck up some parts, and it's more likely the more expensive parts are going to fail before the cheap ones. I worked in a bike shop for a good long time during my formative years and I learned quite a bit. However as technology changes and improves, I know my knowledge is a bit dated. The fellas at the LBS know me by name because I try to ask before I blow it up.
Lastly, about learning this stuff, just ask people what they're riding and if they like it. You can learn a lot about that stuff by just being social.
Good luck and post how it went!
Thanks CT,
I took the Mavics over to a LBS, and the guys there were nice and helped me out. Turns out it had a Campy hub, so it's a good thing I brought it in. Additionally, I opted for an Ultegra cassette, the guy recommended an 11-28, that they will also install on the bike on Tuesday (they had to order the cassette). Currently, I have the 105s (12-27t) on my road bike, so I thought I'd try out the Ultegra. I've heard mixed reviews as to whether you can tell the difference between 105s and Ultegra, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I look forward to my first after I get the completed wheel back, as it will be the first time I've rode with race wheels and tires.
How did it turn out?
Hey CT,
Apologies for the delayed response, as I had a pretty busy month.
The Ksyriums turned out great! This is the first set of race wheels I have ever ridden on, and the difference in feel is immediate and startling.

2-headed turtle at Texas zoo gets Facebook page
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:01 a.m.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A two-headed turtle born last month at the San Antonio Zoo has become so popular that she has her own Facebook page.
Zoo officials say the Texas cooter, named Thelma and Louise for the female duo in the 1991 Oscar-winning movie, has been doing well.
Spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike (van SKYKE') says the turtle eats and swims, and added that the two heads — named Louise Left and Thelma Right — get along.
The Facebook page on Sunday showed photos of the quirky reptile and imaginary conversations between the two heads.
The turtle hatched June 18. The animal is on display at the zoo's Friedrich Aquarium.

NEW YORK -- Wall Street has a major craving for takeout.
Investors sent shares of GrubHub up more than 30 percent Friday in an initial public offering that gave the online food ordering service a market capitalization of nearly $2.7 billion.
GrubHub is one of four companies to go public Friday in what has been a very hot IPO market, especially for businesses in the cloud software and biotech industries. The others include "smart grid" cloud software company OPower and San Ramon cloud software company Five9, which brought in $70 million.
There have been 71 IPOs priced so far this year, up 115 percent from the same time last year, according to IPO investment adviser and research company Renaissance Capital.
"Investors are looking for growth in a slow-growth economy," says Kathleen Smith, a Renaissance Capital principal.
Smith said she is seeing signs of investors getting more cautious, though, after some hot debuts quickly cooled off. One such company is Castlight Health. Shares of the San Francsico cloud-based health care software company more than doubled on their first day of trading last month. But the stock is now down about 50 percent from the high of $41.95 it reached during its March 14 debut.
Whether GrubHub can hold on to its gains remains to be seen. The company is attractive to investors because of its potential to grow in a new field, says Smith.
GrubHub is trying to change the way people order takeout from restaurants. Instead of calling in an order, people can order meals online or through a few taps on a smartphone app, and can search through many restaurants at once by cuisine or other specifications. The Chicago-based firm makes money by taking a percentage of each order. The company doesn't say how much it charges, but restaurant owners have said it's about 15 percent. The more that a restaurant pays, the higher it appears in GrubHub's listings.
CEO Matt Maloney said most people in the country are still ordering food with a paper menu and a telephone call.
"It's ridiculous," he said. "That's where the growth is."
GrubHub launched national TV campaigns last year to convert people to online ordering. The company also owns Seamless, another online takeout company. GrubHub and Seamless merged in August, but both still operate separately. While more people use GrubHub, Seamless is popular along the East Coast.
"It's like a religion in New York," said Maloney.
GrubHub also owns Allmenus.com and MenuPages, which posts menus from restaurants across the country. The company has 3.4 million active users and had revenue of $137.1 million in 2013, up 67 percent from the year before.
The company does have competition. Rivals Eat24 and Delivery.com compete in some of the same major cities as GrubHub. Even online review site Yelp allows users to order takeout from its site, thanks to partnerships with Eat24 and Delivery.com.
Maloney said restaurants can use multiple services if they choose, since the business owners don't have to pay anything upfront.
"It's irrelevant for my business," he said.
GrubHub raised $192.5 million Friday after pricing more than 7.4 million shares at $26 each. That was better than the company's previously expected range of $23 to $25 per share. Shares moved as high as $40.80 friday before closing at $34, a 30.8 percent gain from the IPO price.
The stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GRUB."
Among the other companies that debuted Friday:
-- Five9's stock rose 64 cents from its IPO price of $7, a gain of 9.1 percent. The San Ramon company's business is cloud-based software for customer contact centers.
-- OPower's stock jumped $4.69, nearly 25 percent, on the NYSE after pricing at $19. Its ticker symbol is "OPWR." It provides cloud-based software to the utility industry.
-- IMS Health's shares rose $2.90, more than 14 percent, to $22.90 on the New York Stock Exchange after pricing at $20 per share. Its ticker symbol is "IMS."

"1" Before Long Distance Number Going Way of Rotary Dial
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:41 p.m.
LAKELAND | Remember the digit "1" everyone had to dial before dialing the area code on a long-distance telephone call?
Dialing "1" to reach another area code appears to be going the way of the rotary phone. One of the main reasons is the proliferation of cellphones, which don't require the historic "1" to notify the carrier that it is a long-distance call and the toll needs to be added.
Some landline telephone companies are doing away with them in some of their expanded calling plans.
Landline phones, for many businesses, are slowly going away.
Still it is confusing for some landline phone users to know when to dial a "1" and when not to.
"A lot of marketing is involved, and carriers usually have choices in their various rate plans.
But whether a "1" is used or not depends on both the carriers' plans and on state law. For example, California requires users to use a "1" on every long-distance call," said Tom Foley of the North American Numbering Plan Administration, which oversees area code and numbering for the nation.
"Historically '1' was used as a toll indicator to the phone companies and every state is different," Foley said.
There are no uniform rules among the states on telecommunications policies, he said.
For the "1" to go away completely with wired phones there may have to be a wait on additional technology, said Bob Elek, public information officer for Verizon in Tampa. But it is more a question of what type of service one buys from the landline carrier. Most phones attached to a phone line still require "1," although there are exceptions that offer "1"-free dialing in some compact areas, Elek said.
Verizon wireless being cellphone service, of course, does not require a "1" dialed before the number, he said. Some of the plans Verizon offers to wired customers is extended calling areas.
"We recognized also sometime ago that people living in Tampa with an 813 area code and those with a 727 code in St. Petersburg had to call long distance so we made that an extended calling area where '1' does not have to be dialed," he said.
Some wired carriers offer some service that doesn't require a "1" to be dialed.
For example, The Ledger chose to use an extended service area provided by its telephone service carrier. Ledger employees who dial "1" in front of four area codes — 407, 941, 727, 813 — from the office get a recording: "It is not necessary to dial a '1,' please hang up and dial again."
Whether the use of "1" will ever disappear completely is not known, but with extended calling plans it really doesn't matter, Elek said.
Still, as the number of cellphones grows it could one day be moot.
In 2009, the most recent statistics from the Federal Communications Commission, the number of cellphones in the United States were 293 million, compared with 379 million wired lines. Cellphone numbers have no doubt grown extensively since then, Foley said.

Now that China's decided to build one coal-fired power plant every week, corporations like Goldman Sachs have become highly interested in helping the country find black rocks to burn. The Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana produces what seems an inexhaustible amount, but there's a hitch (isn't there always?): The coal would have to travel hundreds of miles on trains more than 100-railcars long across wide-open Western landscapes and through congested towns. A handful of towns on the Pacific Coast are being considered for the construction of a new port, and that's created another hitch: If prime candidate Bellingham, Wash., north of Seattle, is chosen, Seattle will be very unhappy. The coal trains would almost certainly lumber through the city before going up the coast, creating additional traffic jams for commuters. A headline from The Stranger sums it up: "Coal trains could delay downtown, SoDo traffic by one to three hours daily." At a press conference, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said the coal trains would "create a wall along our waterfront" leading to "more frustration, more bikers, drivers and pedestrians 'shooting the gap' to get across, which means the potential for more accidents." The consulting firm Parametrix predicted that 10-18 coal trains each day would move through Seattle, with each train delaying traffic by roughly five minutes, and delays occurring at unpredictable times 24 hours a day. Seattle City Councilmember Mike O'Brien summed up the impacts of a major new port and increased rail traffic as "all negative" for the city. "If a project like this goes forward," he added, "our progress (to become carbon neutral by 2050) goes down the drain." Port developers have said that the project's impacts, including coal dust pollution and derailments, will be fully reviewed in order to meet high environmental standards, reports Businessweek.
There's a "quiet crisis" in Colorado, and it's all the fault of people driving energy-efficient cars, reports the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. "We are at a pretty dramatic tipping point," said Randy Harrison of MOVE Colorado, a group seeking solutions to the problem of underfunded road construction and maintenance. Harrison told a Club 20 meeting of western Colorado counties that electric-car drivers - who don't have to pay a gas tax - still need to do their fair share, and he suggested putting transponders on those vehicles so their mileage could be checked and bills automatically sent. "A shipment of all-electric Nissan Leaf vehicles is expected soon in the Republic of Boulder," he warned, and "the rest of us who still drive our Ford 350s" shouldn't have to carry them, the slackers.
Coyotes roam freely throughout New Mexico, but finding a family of five hanging out in an Albuquerque churchyard surprised Ruth Wilson, who lives across the street and enjoys watching them. The church is in a busy part of town and so whenever police or ambulance sirens sound off - which they do several times a week - the coyotes howl along, much to the delight of Wilson's two young children. The coyotes seem quite at home near the church, and some Sundays they even harmonize with the choir. "They sing together, play together, and - in their own way - pray together."
Do chickens need chandeliers and a library? Neiman Marcus thinks so, or maybe the store just wanted to bulk up its Versailles-inspired Beau Coop Heritage Hen Mini Farm - a bargain for up to 10 birds at $100,000.
A "mean, grumpy, upset, excited" bull that didn't want to be put on the auction block escaped from a livestock sale in Worland, Wyo. Unfortunately, its race to freedom ended after a two-mile run, when the bull walked through the open door of a home and downstairs into the basement, reports The Associated Press. "Police and auction workers were on his tail but couldn't get him out," adds the Northern Wyoming Daily News. It took a tranquilizer dart to calm the 1,400-pound animal, which "left behind quite a bit of damage," meaning it probably wasn't the only "mean, grumpy, upset, excited" mammal on the premises.
The moral of this story is: Don't take a nap in a cornfield. A man did so recently in Billings, Mont., and got run over by a combine, which "sucked him into the cutter," reports the Billings Gazette. Amazingly, the 57-year-old, who was just passing through town, survived after the farmer disconnected the auger and manually turned the blades away from the man, who suffered deep lacerations. "For this situation, the man is incredibly lucky to be alive," said Yellowstone County Sheriff Lt. Kent O'Donnell. "And that's about all you can say about that."

Tax Increases Coming Whether Fiscal Cliff Is Averted or Not
'Fiscal Cliff' Deal Or Not, Taxes Going Up
Neither the Obama administration nor congressional Republicans want to increase taxes on everyone, but most workers are likely to see lower take-home pay in 2013, eating away at economic growth.
The White House, in its latest offer Monday to resolve the fiscal cliff, made a key concession that would be felt by every U.S. wage earner: allowing the expiration of the payroll tax cut, a provision that has lowered the workers' share of Social Security taxes by two percentage points for the past two years. That translates into an average tax increase of about $1,000 a year for the typical American household making about $50,000 annually.
Letting the payroll tax rate revert to 6.2% from the current 4.2% would raise government revenue by about $125 billion next year, equivalent to 0.8% of total U.S. economic output, according to J.P. Morgan Chase.
Many forecasters say an increase in the payroll tax rate would damp consumer spending, weighing on the recovery. J.P. Morgan forecasts it would slow growth in 2012 by 0.6 percentage point, a sizable drag for an economy projected to expand by around 2% next year.
The change could be a surprise for many workers who might have been under the impression that tax increases in 2013 would not affect them. The White House and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have vowed to protect all but the nation's highest earners from increases in their tax rates. That's been President Barack Obama's stance since his 2008 campaign and it's part of House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B," which would raise tax rates only on household income above $1 million.
But the payroll-tax cut, which expires at the end of this year, has not been part of that pledge. "I think some people could be in for a pretty rude awakening when they get that first paycheck of the year," said Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets.
For many households, taxes during President Obama's first term have been lower than they were under the Bush administration due to tax breaks the Obama administration installed. The first, the Making Work Pay tax credit, came as part of the 2009 stimulus law. The payroll-tax cut took effect last year and applies to up to $110,100 in wage income. The payroll-tax break directly lowers Social Security taxes, creating some objections from left-leaning groups that object to the program being used as a tool that way, even though Social Security's coffers are reimbursed by other government accounts.
Some economists favor extending the tax cut to provide support to a weak economy. But others object to extending a measure that was intended as a temporary response for an economy recovering from the financial crisis. "I hope we get to more long-run thinking rather than short-term measures," said economist Lee Ohanian, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank.

I recently got hold of a movie file thats natively chinese, so subtitles are a must, on streaming it to my ps3 i found that the default subtitles language were french..
So i went through the transcode menu to find all the other language options, and found that it had every european language as a subtitle option apart from English..
So naturally i thought 'damn, should of checked the movie details on subtitles' thinking for some reason the file didnt contain English subtitles....
I decided to watch a few fight scenes on the VLC player, just because its in HD and upon launching it - the subtitles were in English??
This file doesnt have any srt packs or anything, its a single file for the movie...
Any ideas on why the default subtitles are different and why ps3 ms isnt finding the English subtitles?
Its .mkv 720p blu-ray, and its simply classed as 'vlc media file' .

What His Apartment Says About Him
When a guy props one foot on the edge of your beach chair or on the rung of your stool at a bar, he's subconsciously putting his crotch on display. In other words: "He's letting everyone else know that he wants to nail you," says Janine Driver, president of the Body Language Institute. "He's like a dog, marking his territory."
Pay attention to his face when you're talking. If he raises his eyebrows a lot, he's into you. Experts say it shows he's so elated to be with you that he literally can't hold himself (i.e., his eyebrows) down. Think of it like an erection…of the brows.

My last SFR order
So I received my order from the SFR store today. Is that in itself worth posting about? Yes, yes it is.
This is my second order and both experiences have left me very pleasantly surprised - to the point where I feel the least I can do is spread the good word in return!
I ordered 5 days ago (3 excluding the weekend). I live in the UK and it arrived today despite the fact that the shipping cost was more than fair and the same order with a UK based online store would probably still not be here yet. Maybe those of you living in countries with a competent postal system might not appreciate this, but I was amazed at the speed the guys processed my order.
Free stuff!
Stickers, poster, fliers.. a nice little pile of freebies- and who doesnt like free stuff!
The personal touch
When deciding to order Sick of Wasting the fact that it was signed was a great incentive, what I
expect was that my copy of the Non Prophets CD would come signed too! I don't know if I just got lucky or its a regular thing but I certainly wouldnt expect it. The suprise of finding one of my favorite albums arrive signed by the artist really made my day - and you cant put a price on that. Which brings me to...
My last purchase was to pre-order Human the Death Dance, the price of the pre-order combined with shipping to the UK was somehow cheaper than ordering the CD from a UK music store. Oh, and did I mention that it also came with a bonus cd, signed poster, etc, etc? I can't think of a single reason to NOT order direct from the SFR store despite the fact that its on the other side of the world.
At this point I should probably make a confession - I'm a prolific downloader. I get acquainted with Sage and many of my other now-favourite artists by getting their albums off the internet for free. My philosophy has always been try before you buy, especially given the (lack of) quality in much of todays music, but I also firmly believe good artists deserve your support. My first Sage purchase was Human the Death Dance, his first release since I really became aware of his music, and based on my experience with that (excellent service and an awesome album) I cant see why anyone wouldnt support an artist - especially an independent artist - by buying their music. You get it cheaper, or atleast for a fair price considering, and I assume the artist makes a larger cut from the sale too. Everybody wins.
I'm slowly filling out my back catalogue, and with service like this there is no excuse not to. On a side note its nice to see that the packaging for one of my favorite albums does the music justice - the Non Prophets artwork is amazing and pictures really can't do it justice, just one more reason to buy a physical copy!
Keep putting out quality products and I'll keep supporting, peace.
p.s the dates are a bit out because of the time it took to get myspace working and register here after writing this post.. why anyone still actually uses that outside of blatant promotion is beyond me.
p.s.s isn't it about time you toured the UK again? just saying..

Delek in, Alon out of Cypriot Gas Exploration Rights
From Hareetz
By Eran Azran
Some Israeli tycoons have been shut out of natural gas exploration ventures in Cyprus, but one did get in – Yitzhak Tshuva's Delek Group.
The Israeli firms Delek Drilling and Avner, both units of Delek Group, signed an agreement on Monday for a 30 percent interest in exploration rights for gas and oil off Cyprus's southern shore. The exploration is being carried out by Texas-based oil company Noble Energy, which is working with Delek in petroleum exploration in Israeli waters.
Meanwhile, Alon Natural Gas Exploration – David Weissman's firm – was involved in the discovery of the Tamar natural gas field off Israel's coast. However, it made a formal announcement Monday that it did not win its bid to drill for oil and gas in Cyprus' economic waters.
This followed an announcement Sunday by ILDC Energy, an exploration company headed by Ofer Nimrodi, that it was not expecting to win its bid.
Alon has a 25% stake in a consortium of companies that bid for a license to search for and produce offshore natural gas in Cyprus, in blocks 10 and 11. The consortium includes Sigma Exploration, a group of American and Cypriot companies, which holds the remaining shares. To date, Alon has invested 1.5 million euros in the bid, which included preparations and preliminary seismic surveys.
The winner of the tender was the French company Total, one of the largest energy corporations in the world. Total announced it would conduct a series of 10 exploratory drillings for gas and oil over the next three years. It is thought that it will focus mainly on oil. Total paid 24 million euros for the permits.
ILDC Energy announced that its subsidiary, Immanuel International, received a letter from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of Cyprus, indicating that the permit for block 9 would not be given to the consortium it is part of.
The bid was won by a consortium which includes ENI from Italy and KOGAS from South Korea. The two companies also obtained permits for blocks 2 and 3, for which they paid 150 million euros.
Some reports suggest that one-third of the 15 bidding companies were from Israel. In addition to Alon and ILDC Energy, Yitzhak Tshuva's Delek, in association with two Italian companies and the Australian Woodside, was one of the bidders for permits in Block 9, which ultimately went to ENI and KOGAS.
Other Israeli bidders were Modi'in Energy, which competed with Dor Chemicals and Nafta but apparently lost out.

The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy - David Nasaw
Tuesday, December 4, 2012
6:30pm @ Central Library
Was he an anti-Semite and a Nazi sympathizer? An appeaser and isolationist?
For all his public activities – financier, film producer, kingmaker, father of a president - Joseph P. Kennedy remains an elusive figure. Historian David Nasaw draws on exclusive access to Kennedy's papers to explore the complicated personality.
Nasaw is Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Distinguished Professor of American History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

A Choctaw man charged with first-degree manslaughter in the traffic-related death of an Oklahoma City man in Tecumseh has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Robert Allan McCarty, 55, is charged in Pottawatomie County District Court.
He is accused of causing the death of Larry Denzel Williamson, 62.
McCarty was scheduled this month for a preliminary hearing in the case but instead waived his right for that hearing. A judge has set his arraignment date for Jan. 9.
Charges in the case allege McCarty was engaged in the misdemeanor offense of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol while driving a 1999 Chevrolet pickup at SH 9 and Harrison Road on the night of Jan. 26.
According to the charges, McCarty had a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more while driving the pickup head-on into a 1991 Cadillac being driven by Williamson, who died at the scene.
The crash occurred on the two-lane divided section of SH 9, slightly east of the U.S. 177 interchange.
McCarty, who also was injured in the crash, was taken from the scene by ambulance to Shawnee's hospital for treatment.
Watch for updates.

Obamacare Notes Show Worries About Pushing Paper Applications
Top health officials worried that encouraging people to fill out paper applications for insurance after they couldn't sign up through the troubled HealthCare.gov website wouldn't get them coverage any faster, but they gave in as the site's troubles persisted, internal meeting notes released Monday show.
On the third day of the online insurance exchange for 36 states going live, officials wondered, "Given the computer system issues, should we be saying that paper is better now? Should assisters who are sitting with consumers use paper?" and agreed to discuss further, according to notes from the "War Room" at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, the Medicare unit charged with standing up the law.

Officials doubted that paper would help much, noting on the 11th day, "The paper applications allow people to feel like they are moving forward in the process and provides another option; at the end of the day, we are all stuck in the same queue."
Insurers and community groups working on enrolling people pushed paper applications anyway, the notes show. "Navigators are seeing people very frustrated and walking away, so they are turning to paper applications to protect their reputations as people in the communities who can help, even though paper applications will not have a quicker result necessarily," the Oct. 15 notes read.
A WSJ story here from last week describes how navigators stepped up their role after the website stumbled, netting them hundreds of paper applications. President Barack Obama is heading to Dallas on Wednesday to talk with some of the volunteers trying to sign up people there, the White House announced Sunday night.
Both Mr. Obama and his administration have also been touting the value of paper applications and other paths to signing up for coverage, including replacing an image of a young woman that previously appeared on HealthCare.gov with a new logo pointing people to four routes to sign up for coverage.
Paper applications still ultimately rely on some of the federal government's technology infrastructure to be completed, but new insurance coverage available for people doesn't kick in until Jan. 1, so they won't be impacted by the delays as long as the applications can be processed by then.
HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said Monday that the administration had made "significant progress" in improving the website since the notes were taken and that officials had always been clear that paper applications still relied on parts of HealthCare.gov but sidestepped the balky account-creation process that initially tripped up many users.
"We are checking items off our punch list every day and believe that by the end of November the system will work smoothly for the vast majority of users," she said. "We are processing paper applications every day, and consumers are receiving eligibility determinations from these applications."
The October notes were obtained by the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is investigating the rocky implementation of the health overhaul law. They're trickling out as the Obama administration faces a make-or-break November to get the site working and salvage the law — and convince anxious supporters to hold their nerve.
Also on Wednesday this week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies again, this time before the Senate Finance Committee — but probably can't expect an easy ride even from its Democratic chairman, Max Baucus of Montana.
The notes also show that officials were more optimistic at first than they later ended up being. In the early days of October, for example, they were still planning to get a Spanish-language version of the HealthCare.gov site up and running soon. That option was shelved indefinitely after the depth of the problems with the main site emerged.

Officer uses hotdog bits to rescue dog from roof
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 7:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 7:36 a.m.
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — An animal control officer equipped with hotdog bits has managed to rescue a 15-pound dog that somehow found itself stuck on the roof of a Vancouver, Wash., area house.
Homeowner Barry Klettke says he was backing out of his driveway Monday morning with his own dog, Bella, in the passenger seat when Bella growled.
He tells The Columbian (http://is.gd/i5kSLt) he looked up to see what she saw and there was the dog on his roof. He called 911.
Clark County animal control officer Patrick Higbie says he's responded to calls involving birds stuck on roofs but never a dog. The Chihuahua mix was taken to the Humane Society for Southwest Washington.

By Wade Bourne, WF360 Mississippi Flyway Migration Editor
It's certainly not a flood of new ducks, but ringnecks and other early migrants are beginning to show up in northern and central Minnesota, augmenting local populations of wood ducks, teal and other species that have been targeted by this state's hunters since the Sept. 21 opening day.
"This morning I saw probably a thousand mallards while driving around the refuge. These birds have just arrived," states Duane King, biological technician at the Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) near McGregor, MN. "Also, ringnecks are beginning to show up, and when their migration starts, they usually come in big numbers."
"I hunted Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Bemidji area, and I bagged limits each day," reports Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "I'm sure we've had some ringnecks and early migrants show up in the last few days – mallards, gadwalls, widgeons, a few pintails. But I think our migration is just beginning. We should see a significant increase in ducks with the next cold front, which is forecast for this coming weekend."
Cordts says strong southerly winds and warmer than normal September temperatures have slowed down the arrival of new ducks in Minnesota. However, he adds that the wind swung around to the west over the weekend, and he attributes his good hunting success to this wind shift and the cooler temperature and spotty rain that came with it. "Again, there was no big push, but I definitely feel we had a few new ducks in the marshes where I was hunting."
King reports that water conditions have returned to normal at Rice Lake NWR after a severe drought last year. "We had almost no (wild) rice in 2012 due to a lack of moisture, but this year our water is a lot better, and we have a fair rice crop – plenty to draw and hold a good number of birds."
King adds, "From what I know, hunting in central and northern Minnesota has been hit or miss, depending on where you are. Overall, habitat is better this year than last, and I'd anticipate some good days coming for our waterfowl hunters."
Minnesota is divided into three zones for waterfowl hunting: north, central and south. All zones opened Sept. 21. The north zone runs straight through (no breaks ) until Nov. 19. The central and southern zones ran Sept. 21-29, then closed for temporary breaks. The central zone reopens Oct. 5 and runs through Nov. 24. The southern zone reopens Oct. 12 and closes Dec. 1.
"The way things are shaping up, the second openers in the central and south zones should offer some new ducks and good shooting," Cordts surmises. "The mild conditions we've experienced have stalled the migration, but hopefully the cold front that's forecast should bring in new waves of migrants and cause a pickup in the action. I'm anticipating that in the next couple of weeks, we'll gain some migrants to replace the local teal and wood ducks that have been shot or pushed out since the season started."
