About This Book
The Other Side of Dawn is the long-awaited, riveting, final title in the Tomorrow series about a group of teenagers in war-torn Australia.
Since their home was invaded by enemy soldiers and transformed into a war zone, Ellie and her friends have been fighting for their lives. They have learned survival skills out of necessity and taken care of each other through impossibly dark times. Now, with a roar like a train in a tunnel, the war has entered its final days. There's no more sitting around, no more waiting. There's only fast decisions, fast action, fast thinking — and no room to get it wrong.
As the enemy forces close in on their hideout in Hell, Ellie, Fi, Homer, Lee, and Kevin, and their adopted group of orphaned children, find themselves facing the last chapter of their struggle for freedom. But it may just be the most dangerous yet. And not everyone will survive.

Deadline Now: Election 2012 Preview Show
Friday, November 2, 2012 at 8:30 p.m.
This election looks like it will be one of the hardest fought and closest presidential races in history. And perhaps more than ever, Ohio may be the key to it all. But that's not the only race on the ballot. Jack Lessenberry, David Kushma, Editor of The Blade, and Tom Troy, Political Writer for The Blade, examine the race for the White House and many others in Ohio and in Michigan.
Here are Jack Lessenberry's Final Thoughts for this edition of "Deadline Now:"
To my mind, the ultimate nightmare scenario in this presidential election would be for it all to come down to Ohio -- and to wake up Wednesday morning with Mitt Romney holding a narrow lead here and two hundred thousand provisional ballots left to be counted.
We've had two truly disputed elections in this country, in 1876 and in the year 2000, and I think we need at least another century before we, or our descendants, are forced to endure another one.
But the presidential race isn't the only thing on the ballot -- and may not even be the most important. I personally feel strongly about who the next president should be. Yet I also think it likely that the republic would survive either a Mitt Romney administration or four more years of President Obama, regardless of what the ads say.
However, I am not sure that Michigan would survive the devastation that some of the proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot would do to our state. And this whole region would be hugely affected if the billionaire who owns the Ambassador Bridge succeeds in his drive to have voters preserve his monopoly.
Roy Norton, Canada's consul general in Detroit, told me that if Proposal Six on Michigan's ballot is approved, it will have a devastating effect on the Ohio and Indiana economies as well, and that "it would mean an entire population's economic interests would become subservient to those of a greedy billionaire."
In Ohio, voters have a chance to call a new constitutional convention -- and also to replace the present system where legislative and congressional boundaries are drawn by the politicians to one where an independent citizens' commission would do it. If you don't like the shape of the new Ninth Congressional district, which snakes up from Toledo to Cleveland, this may be worth a look.
Finally, there are many, many crucial races up and down the ballot. Some future president is probably out there somewhere today, running for the house, senate, or some Colorado school board.
You may not like the results when you wake up Wednesday morning, and few of us will like the way everything came out.
But if you don't vote, you have no grounds to complain.

text: Collier Bicycles has been manufacturing its own wheels for its bikes. The company is operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 30% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the wheels are $1.50 and $1.80, respectively. Normal production is 200,000 wheels per year. A supplier offers to make the wheels at a price of $4 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead being charged to the wheels will have to be absorbed by other products. a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the wheels. b. Should Collier Bicycles buy the wheels from the outside supplier? Justify your answer.

Clearly they are not saying they are against pets -- they are saying that pets can trigger a severe asthma or respiratory attack. I get it. How difficult it that to understand? I also get that it's my CHOICE to bring the dog on the plane... it's NOT a passenger or crew member's choice to have asthma or some other disease. Good grief. Pet lovers are supposed to be sensitive... although what I am reading here seems to suggest otherwise.

94 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2013
Good bright, deep red. Crystallized black raspberry, cherry, bitter chocolate and graphite minerality on the expressive nose. Dense, sweet and very deep, with hugely rich flavors of red and darker berries, espresso and bitter chocolate. As creamy as this is, there's no shortage of energy or underlying tannic support. Very long and lush on the finish. A great vintage for this property, but this will probably be best over the next 15 years.

This review was first published in The eXile on September 4, 2004
We must remember the millions who died in the Soviet camps. Why? That nasty, nagging "why?" kept dogging me as I made my way through Anne Applebaum's long (600 pp.) and well-researched history of the GULAG. If I hadn't lived in Moscow from 2002 to 2004, I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to challenge Applebaum's mission, commemorating the victims of Stalinism. But one thing you learn in Russia, whether you want to or not, is that the Russians are not interested in this subject at all. And their lack of interest is strangely contagious, infecting even formerly avid fans of Zek literature like myself.
Before living in Russia, I used to wonder why none of the sons or grandsons of GULAG prisoners hunted down the thugs who tortured and killed their relatives. It happened in China, where descendants of those persecuted by the Red Guard tracked down and beat or even killed ex-Guards. And there's an army of well-funded pursuers tracking down the few living ex-Nazis. Why didn't Russians go after Stalin's surviving executioners?
The simple, disturbing answer is that they're not interested. And that bothers us. It's not that the West cares very much about the Russians — either the millions who died, or the 140 million struggling to live in contemporary Russia. We've made our indifference to them pretty clear, over the past fifteen years.
Rather we need to believe that everyone shares our alleged dedication to the Christian-derived notion that we have to love everyone. And that means mourning, or at least going through the motions of mourning, every mass death.
So we wait for the Russians to start moaning and gnashing their teeth over the GULAG, as we would wait for a bereaved family to start keening over their loss. We've been standing nervously outside the Russians' hut for over a decade now, waiting for those banshee wails to trigger our public tears.
And there's been this silence — at first puzzling, then offensive. And at last, realizing that these shameless Russians aren't going to start their own rites, we decided to do the job ourselves.
Thus Applebaum's book was born. And it has the feeling of a belated, awkward funeral oration by one who didn't know the deceased very well, but is driven by a deep sense of moral righteousness to perform the proper rites. To her credit, Applebaum knows and admits that the Russians themselves aren't interested in commemorating the victims of the camps. She mentions that the only monument they have in Moscow is a single stone from the Solovetsky Islands. We lived a block from that stone, and for two years we walked past it nearly every day. I don't recall seeing anyone take notice of it, even once. It sat there, splattered with birdshit, facing Lubyanka — completely forgotten. By contrast, the statue of Dzerzhinsky, though exiled to the Statue Garden by the river, is covered with curses and homage, just biding its time.
Anne Applebaum bears the sufferings of Stalin's GULAG victims
In her final chapter, "Memory," Applebaum attempts to account for the Russians' indifference. She's quite intelligent for a conservative, and surprisingly fair-minded for someone associated with a Tory rag like the Spectator. She even acknowledges that anti-Soviet rhetoric is soiled, in the minds of most contemporary Russians, by its association with the Gaidar kleptocracy, and offers a cogent summary of other possible factors:
"There are some good, or at least forgivable, explanations for this public silence. Most Russians… spend all of their time coping with the complete transformation of their economy and society. The Stalinist era was a long time ago, and a great deal has happened since it ended. Post-Communist Russia is not postwar Germany, where the memories of the worst atrocities were still fresh in people's minds."
The comparison to post-1945 Germany is the crucial one, the one by which contemporary Russia keeps disappointing and annoying righteous Westerners like Applebaum. This is yet another case of the "Hitler Standard," by which the Nazis are the gold standard of evil, and the painful rehabilitation of Germany after 1945 the gold standard of recovery.
And of course this version of what happened in Germany in 1945 requires a suppression of memory at least as great as that involved in Russia's apathy towards Stalin's crimes. In the first place, it's not the case that Germany's crimes, in general, made much of an impression on "people's minds." Germany's crimes against Russians, in particular, were little noticed nor long remembered in the West — despite the fact that the majority of the Wehrmacht's victims were Slavs.
Most massacre victims are the sort of people not likely to be remembered. This is one of those almost-tautologies that's still worth saying, like the old evolutionary biologists' joke that most of us are descended from people who didn't die before puberty.
And as another cynical French wit put it, we are all very good at bearing the sufferings of others.
Only when a massacre is unusually dramatic and interesting, and/or involves people to whom we feel particularly close, do most of us feel anything. In other words, the Christian-derived premise that there is some Enlightenment moral sense in each of us, which reacts with instinctive horror at any mass suffering, is simply nonsense. There is no such sense — and a quick look at the archives of a Tory magazine like the Spectator, for which Applebaum proudly toiled, would reveal that fact a million times over. Ever hear of the "Black Hole of Calcutta"? Of course you did. That terrible overheated room in which some English prisoners were kept during the Indian Mutiny, so stifling that some of them actually died! Now, let's do the math: what is the ratio of Indians killed during the British occupation to British prisoners stifled in the Black Hole? Few of you will have any idea, because those millions of dead never registered with us.
Applebaum would not have been capable of accepting a position with a vile publication like the Spectator unless her own consciousness contained at least one huge, highly adaptive amnesiac blob where all the crimes of the Empire should have been filed. So vast and horrific were these crimes, so long did they continue, that you could pretty much spin a globe, jab a finger at it blindfolded, and land on a spot where some Imperial force committed some sort of atrocity. (Unless, of course, you landed on ocean — though the Royal Navy would do its best to provide you with material even there.)
The crimes of history are optional. We mix, match and discard according to taste and convenience. It's useful for Applebaum's Tory backers to remember Stalin's crimes because they can still use them to bash anyone who might want to beef up the National Health system with higher taxes. "Today an extra 1% VAT on my Jag convertible, tomorrow Kolyma!" is a very familiar war cry from these crusaders for human rights. Other massacres are dim stats, to be dredged up when necessary. Take, for example, all the tens of millions of dead in the Japanese occupation of China. They are rarely invoked in the West, because we don't need them. The Japanese are thoroughly spent, neither a threat nor a bad example of anything we worry about at the moment. The Chinese are more of a worry, making the invocation of their dead a dangerous concession. And in the Tory mind, those dead are connected with ignominy: the surrender of Singapore without a fight, the sinking of the Repulse and Prince of Wales…and so it goes, with a huge number of tangential mental associations determining which of the billions of corpses clogging the earth will be dug up and flung at one's opponents at any particular moment.
In this context, the Russians' lack of interest in Stalin's victims seems quite natural and healthy. It's Applebaum's arduous disinterment of them that ends up seeming forced, disingenuous and surprisingly dull.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) reported earnings last night that crushed analyst expectations, and the stock is now up more than 13%, pulling much of the stock market up with it. As of 1:30 p.m. EDT the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) is up 0.54% to 1,743. The largest ETF tracking the S&P 500, the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEMKT: SPY ) , is up 0.57%.
Analysts had expected Google to report a strong quarter, but even their high estimates were surpassed by Google's results. Analysts expected earnings of $10.34 per share, and Google's actual EPS was $10.74 -- a 19% year-over-year rise. Net revenue -- revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs -- was expected to be $11.7 billion, and Google's actual net revenue rose 5% year over year to $11.92 billion.
Google's great results have led the stock to an all-time high of $1,008, driven by a 26% year-over-year increase in paid clicks, which was more than enough to offset an 8% year-over-year decline in cost-per-click ad prices.
Fellow search giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ) is up 6.9% on Google's results, an analyst upgrade, and the better-than-expected Chinese Q3 GDP figure that was released last night. China reported that Q3 GDP rose 2.2% quarter over quarter and 7.8% year over year. It should be noted that China reports GDP differently from most countries. In the U.S., GDP is reported quarterly on a seasonally adjusted, annualized basis. China reports its quarterly GDP on a seasonally adjusted basis, but the data is not annualized. Annualizing the quarterly GDP figures can give a varying view of Chinese GDP from the year-over-year figures, which are just that and are not seasonally adjusted.
The tech sector as a whole is up 1%, with Apple and Cisco among the other big movers in the S&P 500.

Joel S. Newman
Wake Forest University - School of Law
Tax Notes, Vol. 116, No. 6, 2007
Wake Forest Univ. Legal Studies Paper No. 1086110
In United States v. Gilmore, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Mr. Gilmore's legal expenses pursuant to his divorce were nondeductible. The opinion mentioned in passing the wife's sensational and reputation-damaging charges of marital infidelity. The California Appellate Court noted that the case was ... one of the most sordid and revolting with which courts are required to deal. This article describes the Gilmore divorce in state court, with help from the breathless coverage of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The European Union has been awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to promote peace and democracy, even as the continent is in the midst of its biggest debt crisis since the 1950s.
The Norwegian Prize Committee said the EU received the award for six decades of contributions "to the advancement of peace and reconciliation and human rights in Europe."
"The stabilizing part played by the European Union has helped to transform a once-torn Europe from a continent of war to a continent of peace," Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said.
Some are criticizing the committee for its move to award the EU.
"I suppose could have been even sillier: they could have awarded EU the Nobel for economics," Benedict Brogan, editor of The Daily Telegraph, tweeted.
"Nobel Prize for the EU at a time Brussels and all of Europe is collapsing in misery," Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders said. "What next?"
The award will be presented on Dec. 10.

New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men to headline Summerfest
It's going to be boy bands galore at the Marcus Amphitheater when The Package Tour, featuring New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men, headlines Summerfest on July 2.
The news will make fans swoon. Shows all across the country have been announced for the tour, including two dates at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., in late July that made a Summerfest appearance seem unlikely. And despite going on tour nearly every year since reuniting in 2008 after a 14-year hiatus, NKOTB hasn't played in Milwaukee since that year. »Read Full Article(26)
Lauren Conrad tunes in fashion, teen fiction

Oysters are a keystone species to the Chesapeake Bay and provide vital water column filtering as well as habitat for reef dwelling and reef associated fishes, crabs, mussels, and other marine life. Yet, historical overharvest, pollution, and disease have left oysters to a fraction of their population, and unable to fill their essential ecological and economic roles. Fortunately, recent and dramatic changes in policy, coupled with improved scientific understanding following years of experimentation, provide a clear path forward for restoration of this iconic, keystone species. Large-scale oyster sanctuary preserves now in place, coupled with sustained funding, can turn the tide for oysters.
The Oyster Recovery Partnership has teamed up with state and federal partners in a concerted effort to accelerate the restoration of native oyster reefs and achieve an ambitious goal of twenty Bay tributaries restored by 2025. Harris Creek, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, is the first targeted restoration location, and by itself represents the largest oyster restoration effort ever conducted in the Chesapeake and East Coast.
Major activities include rebuilding the reef substrate structure, planting newly constructed reefs with baby oysters to jump start the local oyster population and monitoring to evaluate project performance. As planned, billions of baby oysters will be placed within the protected sanctuary in Harris Creek, rebuilding more than 370 acres of reef. To date, we have already rebuilt 110 acres. This project will also establish a blueprint to expand large scale oyster restoration efforts to other tributaries in the Chesapeake. Only healthy estuarine habitats will support the rich variety and abundance of life once found in the Chesapeake Bay, as well as provide benefits to people economically, socially and culturally.
The Oyster Recovery Partnership is seeking to raise $1,000,000 toward oyster restoration in Harris Creek and other locations. Funding is our only holdback as ORP and our partners have the capacity to produce 2 Billion oysters and plant 500 acres per year. For every $1.00 donated, normally 50 oysters are planted. However, for this campaign, all gifts will be matched with a $3.00 for every $1.00 we raise, allowing ORP to plant 200 oysters for every $1.00 donated! Therefore, for every $5,000 raised, ORP can recycle 100 bushels of shells and plant 500,000 oysters.
ORP is listed as a top-rated nonprofit receiving the Maryland Seal of Excellence, the Guidestar Exchange Seal and is an approved nonprofit with 1% for the planet. We ensure that 95% of all donations go directly into oyster restoration. We hope that you will support this vital environmental program and help us return the Bay to population levels last seen decades ago.

Millcreek School Board passes proposed final 2014-15 budget
The Millcreek Township School Board Tuesday night passed an $89.2 million proposed final budget for 2014-15.
The board voted 8-0 in favor of the proposed budget at its meeting at the Millcreek Education Center. One board member was absent.
The School Board has until June 30 to adopt a final budget for 2014-15.
"It's pretty much what we brought forward at the committee of the whole," Superintendent William Hall said. "I'm very comfortable with it. I think it's a good budget. I think it's very solid going forward."
The proposal includes a 4.8 percent tax increase, or an additional 0.6 mil. The increase would amount to an additional $60 in property taxes for the owner of a $100,000 home.
"I do think it's a good budget," said Aaron O'Toole, the Millcreek School District's finance director, who was hired in February.
"We really broke down in the details line by line within the budget," O'Toole said. "I'm not sure within the past couple of years if it really has been broken down that far and making sure everything was recorded properly and what not."
Hall said between 17 and 20 positions -- mostly instructional -- in the budget would be left vacant through attrition or through the elimination or combination of classes with low enrollments.
RON LEONARDI can be reached at 870-1680 or by e-mail.

The two West Chester University graduates were in a Warsaw hotel lobby late one afternoon in May 2012 when they were told of an antiques shop in an old neighborhood.
"It was a shop that carried a mixture of Judaica and Nazi paraphernalia," Hilary Bentman said last week.
An odd mix. But in the early evening, she and Hadassah DeJack went there.
The Christian shopkeeper, whose grandparents had hidden Jews during World War II, asked if they would like to see a section of a Torah rescued from the Nazi occupation.
"I touched it. I cried," DeJack said.
On Monday, international Holocaust Remembrance Day, the two women, who earned master's degrees in the Holocaust and genocide studies program at West Chester University, will present that restored and framed Torah section to the school, at a 7:30 p.m. event at its Main Hall.

I'm configuring a PPP server and it is able to accept multiple client
connections. Each connected client is handled by a PPP virtual
interface, for example if 10 clients connected then there'll be
ppp0-ppp9 on the server.
I'm curious, is it possible to aggregate these virtual interfaces into a
single interface? Therefore the server only need to maintain ppp0 for
multiple clients. If so, how to configure it?
If not possible, would the server be scalable? Because if 1000 clients
are connected, the server would have to maintain ppp0-ppp999, would it
cause any problem?

< Transportation Day | Main | That Didn't Take Long >
Early Leaders
Posted at 3:55 PM on February 21, 2008 by Michael Marchio
We're just shy of two weeks into the session, but a few lawmakers have already highlighted some good strategies for racking up MFL points. One strategy is what I like to call "score by attrition."
In this, lawmakers file dozens bills with the words "Capital Investment" or "Capital Improvement" in the title. These are basically requests for bonding money to bring back to their district for community centers, historical preservation of buildings, environmental cleanups and infrastructure repairs, among other things. The Range lawmakers seem to be particularly fond of these.
Picking up lawmakers with this strategy is a good way to earn some sure points; all a lawmaker needs to do is file them, and they get 1 point, and if they can get the bill in front of a committee, that's another 5 points. There's a ceiling on this strategy, because if the request isn't very persuasive, its not likely to get passed and rolled into the bonding bill. But at this early stage in the session when there have been relatively few committee hearings, it's a way to vault into a quick lead.
Another way is best exemplified by the lawmaker sitting at #3 in our power rankings, Rep. Ryan Winkler (DFL-Golden Valley). Elected in 2006, this is Winkler's rookie biennium, and along with the more typical policy bills and capital investments, he's sponsoring HF2553 the I-35W bridge victims relief bill. Picking up lawmakers like Winkler is the "lightning rod strategy." This is when you pick up a lawmaker sponsoring a bill that's either unusually controversial and a lot of committee chairs want to kill it, or because (like the I-35W bill) it will falls under a lot of jurisdictions. These bills get bounced around to a half-dozen committees, and provided they don't get stopped before finally being sent to the floor for a vote, they just keep adding up 5 points for each committee and 10 for each passage. Last year, the smoking ban did much the same thing.
Since we've only had about two weeks of committee hearings, we'll just have to wait and see what kind of other strategies emerge. Tomorrow, I'll be doing a weekly recap, and maybe by that time the House will finally be done debating the transportation bill (still going with no end in sight as of this posting).
So what are your thoughts? We've got a comments button, let's put it to good use.

|Mexico: Tens of Thousands March against PRI's Presidential Candidate
|Written by Ela Stapley

Miguel Perez Navidad was twelve years old when he first realized that Mexican politicians were corrupt. It was election day and he was on holiday visiting his aunt in her village just outside Mexico City. He recounts how members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) started threatening people who were lining up to vote. "They just took hold of people and starting dragging people away," he stated. "From then on I knew that I would never vote for this party."

LAST AUGUST, JOHN MUMMA WAS SITTING in his headquarters at the U.S. Forest Service's northern regional office in Missoula, Mont., when the telephone rang. George M. Leonard, the Forest Service's No. 2 man and Mumma's boss, was calling from Washington, D.C., He wanted to see him—alone. They set up a meeting in the United Airlines Red Carpet room at Denver's Stapleton Airport. Leonard's tone, Mumma recalls, was ominous. "I knew something was going to happen," he says.
The meeting, it turned out, was not only ominous but swift. It lasted 10 minutes and effectively ended Mumma's exemplary 28-year career helping to manage the nation's public forests. Leonard informed Mumma that his refusal to meet his timber quotas was unacceptable: Either he could take a desk job at headquarters in Washington, D.C., or be "separated" from the U.S. Forest Service. "I had tears in my eyes," recalls Mumma, 52, who, other than during an appearance before a congressional committee last September, has rarely spoken publicly about the confrontation. "I said, 'George, I've put the Forest Service ahead of my life and my family for 28 years. I will not take that form of punishment.' "
As a regional forester in charge of 25 million acres of national forests and grasslands, stretching from the Dakotas to Washington State, Mumma was responsible for selling trees to private companies and building logging roads to facilitate their harvest. But the Forest Service's mandate also requires that it protect the environmental health of those same forests. The timber quotas, Mumma maintained in his testimony before Congress, force the agency to violate environmental laws. Because of the erosion that follows clear-cutting—razing all trees in a specified area—many of the mountain streams in his region have became choked with silt, he says. Montana's rare bull trout are dying of asphyxiation, and the largest grizzly-bear population outside of Alaska is threatened by increased road-building and human activity as timber crews carve up its habitat.
Leonard's ultimatum devastated Mumma. He flew home to Missoula, where he and his wife, Myra, 48, saddled up two of their horses and headed out to nearby Lolo National Forest for a pack trip to sort things out. "We spent three days crying," says Mumma. "Myra said she'd be willing to move to Washington, but I told her I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be punished for a wrong I didn't commit."
After a protracted—and unsuccessful—negotiation, Mumma quit the Forest Service in November 1991. His forced retirement further fueled a bitter environmental debate within the agency. "Morale was pretty poor before, but when you see them go after a man of John Mumma's stature, you know we're all in trouble. It sends a clear message to those of us in the field not to make waves," says one ranger, who asked to remain anonymous. Adds David Wilcove, senior ecologist at the Environmental Defense Fund: "Mumma's firing demonstrates that the Bush Administration Forest Service remains first and foremost a tree-cutting company with little regard for the environment."
The logging industry disagrees with that assessment. "Mumma wasn't a good administrator," argues Joe Hinson, executive vice president of the Intermountain Forest Industry Association, a timber trade group. "He didn't carry out his responsibilities as a regional forester."
Mumma's, however, was not an isolated case. Last September, Rep. Gerry Sikorski of Minnesota held congressional hearings into possible intimidation of National Park and Forest Service employees, and he plans to issue a report on his findings this summer. During those hearings, a Park Service regional director, Lorraine Minlzmyer, testified that she was transferred to Philadelphia after refusing to alter a scientific study that advised further protection of the fragile Yellowstone ecosystem.
Until two years ago, Mumma could never have imagined himself as an agency renegade. His parents owned a ranch in the high desert near Farmington, N.Mex. As a boy, he would ride out to the pine forests to study their flora and fauna. "I always loved the woods," he says. "My heart would beat a hundred times a minute just being in the woods on my horse."
Mumma graduated from the University of New Mexico and joined the Forest Service in 1963. Because of his horsemanship, he was assigned to the rugged San Juan National Forest in Colorado. His knowledge of the outdoors and his administrative abilities soon brought him to the attention of Forest Service brass, and in 1985 he was persuaded to take a job at headquarters in Washington, D.C. "They told me it was important for me to understand the 'big picture,' " says Mumma, "but it just about crushed me. It disgusted me to see the power of lobbyists and politicians and the influence they exerted on the forests."
Still, the tour paid off. In 1988, Forest Service Chief F. Dale Robertson named Mumma as regional forester of the northern region—making him the first and only wildlife biologist to hold that position. John and Myra bought a 10-acre ranch in Missoula, near Lolo National Forest. "I thought I had it all," says Mumma.
But Mumma's troubles were just beginning. When he arrived, he found his timber quota set at 1.1 billion board feet. "My scientific and wildlife people were telling me we couldn't meet the quotas without damaging the forests," he says. He tried to compromise, authorizing 85 percent of his quotas, but within several months of his appointment, he was called back to Washington, D.C., by Robertson and told to cut more trees. Eventually, Mumma decided he would rather be cut loose.
Mumma may be rich in ethics, but he is increasingly impoverished otherwise. By resigning four years short of his 55th birthday, he lost not only a $98,000 salary but $1,600 a month from his federal pension. "After the bills, we have about $100 to last us the rest of the month," he says. "It's nip and tuck. We hope we won't lose the ranch."
Recently, Mumma has been walking the Lolo National Forest, examining ponderosa pines, Douglas firs and western larches and assessing the damage done by clear-cutting. The destruction he has seen persuaded him to speak out. "People shouldn't be outraged at what happened to me," Mumma says. "The public should be outraged at what's going on in their forests. Right now they're being managed for the short-term dollar benefit of timber companies. Who they should be managed for is the citizens of the Northwest, the country and, ultimately, future generations."

Serge Ibaka hit a jumper, and one possession in, the Thunder led the Heat 2-0. It was a good, clean high pick-and-roll set with an on-time delivery from Reggie Jackson, executed to perfection.
Hard to draw any kind of conclusion from one possession, from one jumper, but considering how the Thunder have performed against the Heat dating back to the 2012 Finals, specifically early in games, I took it as a great sign.
But then came the Miami onslaught. Fifteen straight from the Heat before Scott Brooks finally decided he'd seen enough of his two-big lineup, and with 7:24 left in the first quarter, he subbed Kendrick Perkins. The Thunder were now in a 15-2 hole, with it eventually growing to an 18-2 one. You could hear the sighs and groans and grumbles emanating from Oklahoma City all way on South Beach. It was just more of the same. More of the same stubbornness that had them in consistent holes in the Finals, more of the same infuriating resistance to an obvious change that has given the Thunder constant problems against the Heat.
The Thunder fought back.
Led by an impressive burst from the second unit, the Thunder won the second quarter and actually held a 55-50 lead heading into the break. The comeback was impressive, but it felt empty. Why? Because we all know Scott Brooks and how rigid and committed he is to his consistency. So for at least five or six minutes to start the third, we all knew the Thunder were going to have to weather another mismatched storm.
But something weird happened. Like Game 6 against the Rockets last postseason, Brooks flexed. He adjusted. You know he didn't want to, you know that he only did it because he was finally backed into a corner. The Thunder never want to show a weakness, or let anyone think what they're doing isn't good enough. They firmly believe if they just play to their capability, they can beat anyone, no matter the personnel. Sometimes though, that square won't fit into that damn circle.
Perry Jones started the second half in place of Perk, and the Thunder picked right up where they left off. A barrage of early 3s to start the quarter created some distance, and as Miami hung around and began to make a mini push, cutting the lead to 10 on back-to-back LeBron buckets, the Reaper arrived.
A filthy 28-foot 3 to shut up a raucous American Airlines Arena. A response from LeBron, then two free throws from Serge Ibaka. A Ray Allen jump pulled it back to 11, but Durant broke out his one-footer running jumper, then answered a deep LeBron 2 with another bomb from deep. The Thunder absorbed the Heat punch, and threw one right back. And the icing on it: Straight out of the Valparaiso playbook, Derek Fisher banked in a 3 at the buzzer to put OKC up 16 heading to the fourth.
The final 12 minutes were stressful until Erik Spoelstra finally decided to pack it in and pen his concession speech, sitting LeBron and Wade with 1:46 left. The Thunder had gone from an 18-2 hole, to routing the Heat 110-77 from that point on. After Brooks subbed Perk, OKC outscored Miami 110-80. That's a 40-point swing. That's wow.
The Thunder got the Miami monkey off their back. They ended the six-game skid, and not just that, revealed a precise, pinpoint gameplan to beating them. It wasn't just Brooks' adjustment to sit Perk, but the way OKC attacked the Heat's trademark trapping pick-and-roll coverage was simple, and incredibly effective. The Thunder absorbed and used Miami's aggressiveness against them, drawing the second defender to the ball, releasing the pressure to the roll man, then bringing a big to the free throw line. Pass, pass, pass and the Thunder were finding open, easy shots.
Without Russell Westbrook, a top five player that's currently still on the roster and set to return in a few weeks, the Thunder walked into Miami, into the house of the two-time defending champions and just took it to them. It's the most satisfying regular season win I can remember for the Thunder. And with Durant's takeover and the way he snuffed the life out of any Miami comeback, it's going to take some supernatural happenings for the MVP to land anywhere but OKC by the end of the season.
- Two big numbers in this game: 16 made 3-pointers from OKC, and 21 Miami turnovers. The 16 made 3s are the most in the OKC era, and came on 27 shots. The script finally flipped. Durant was outstanding, but instead of Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole or whoever drilling 3s all over against the Thunder, it was Jeremy Lamb, Derek Fisher and Thabo Sefolosha knocking a few down.
- The Thunder's bench won this game, really. Fisher was seriously outstanding, hitting 5-5 from 3 and playing a huge part in settling the team down with a couple shots in the first quarter. Lamb went for 18 on 7-10 shooting (4-6 from 3) plus four assists. A total of 33 points from them on 12-17 shooting and 9-11 from 3.
- Again, Lamb was wonderful. He hit back-to-back 3s in the first half that pulled OKC close, and was just steady and in rhythm offensively all night. Provided Durant a perfect perimeter option in a bunch of spots.
- (Should I make a Harden-in-the-Finals joke here? Or are we all well past that?)
- Scott Brooks on the lineup change: "I thought it was, to win this game, we had to make a decision to go with a smaller lineup. It's just this game. It's not something we have to do all the time. Perk brings so much to us. I'm not going to make it a small lineup, big lineup thing. We won the game. Understand that we won the game. It's not what I did, it's how we played as a collective group. It's always been about us. We've got a bunch of guys that are all about team, and tonight was a clear, prime example of that."
- Durant on the smaller lineup: "It's a better matchup for us, I guess."
- Durant also told reporters, "I don't have a supporting cast. We're all the same."
- Okay.
- The lineup that started the game: -13. The lineup that started the third quarter: +9.
- Not only did Brooks start Jones in the second half, he made the wise choice of starting him on LeBron. Obviously a baptism for Jones, but a necessary one with KD sitting on two fouls. Plus, it was a time for Durant to go for a stretch without worrying about defending LeBron. Jones did well, forcing a few tough shots.
- Remember when the Thunder drafted Jones two years ago? A lot of folks felt like he might be an X-factor against the Heat. Well, well, well.
- So, the big questions: What took Brooks so long to make the change, and why now? I think he's known all along it was necessary. I have two theories as why he waited: 1) Brooks was saving his grand adjustment for the Finals, if the Thunder play the Heat. Like he didn't want to reveal his big adjustment in a January game. Or 2) he genuinely wanted to give his guys the chance to solve it themselves. This is probably the reality. Like I said, the Thunder have a very specific mindset, almost arrogant, and to adjust was to admit a weakness. Brooks is a player's coach and you know he didn't want to do it. I don't think the thought of going small finally just popped into his head at the half. He wanted to give the regular rotation a shot. But once it wasn't working, his hand was forced and to his credit, he made the move.
- Thing is a good thing for Perk, too. Instead of everyone yelling at him and blaming him for everything for not being able to do he's not physically capable of, he gets to step aside. I've always said this about the Perk-Miami thing: It's not his fault. It's on the coach to put his players in the best possible position to succeed, and Brooks wasn't doing that with Perk against the Heat. We all know the story with Perk. He's played admirably well this month, and has had some really solid defensive performances. Against a few teams, he's a hero. But that's what he is. A specialist. I just can't comprehend not accepting that and making the proper adjustment within that mindset.
- The perfect illustration that Brooks understood the issue, but just refused to adjust to it, at least until halftime: Steven Adams was headed for a DNP-CD until garbage time. Because Brooks recognized there was never a matchup where he made any sense. So really, as we all know, the only reason he was playing Perk is to just maintain the consistency of the starting five. Why though? Is he afraid of hurt feelings?
- If Brooks had started Perk in the second half, I had this good analogy lined up comparing it to when I play Call of Duty online and there's a sniper camping in a spot, and he kills me twice, and then I get all determined to go get him. Like I think, "I'm good enough. I can do this. I'll just edge out a little bit and— dammit." And then I go back again, because I just refuse to accept that I can't get him. I kind of think that's what it was with Perk.
- KD made it 12 straight with at least 30. And the Thunder won. What was I so worried about?
- KD, with LeBron guarding him 90 percent of the game: 33 points on 12-23 shooting, 4-9 from 3, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals.
- LeBron, with KD guarding him probably 50 percent of the game: 34 points on 12-20 shooting, three rebounds and three assists.
- I already saw a few try and excuse LeBron and the Heat that they didn't care as much as the Thunder tonight. Rewatch that first quarter. The Heat cared deeply. You can tell just by LeBron's defensive stance. Dude looked like he was about to form tackle Marshawn Lynch.
- Serge Ibaka played a big time game tonight and like I said earlier today, the Thunder needed him. He was cold early, starting just 4-12, but he hit six of his last eight finishing 10-20 for 22 points plus eight rebounds. With the way Miami defends the pick-and-roll, he had good looks all night. Again, great gameplan from the Thunder.
- 20 shots is a season-high for Ibaka.
- Reggie Jackson was solid. That's really it. Just played a decent game and picked his spots well.
- Thabo really played a good one. Stepped up on LeBron well after KD's second foul, wreaked a little havoc in passing lanes, and played with a bunch of force and aggressiveness. Six steals and four assists for him, with nine points. That's the Thabo we know.
- Derek Fisher is making so many of these shots that I'm going to quit groaning when he puts them up. And that's bad for everyone.
- Two of Fisher's 3s were banked in. I can't even.
- Scott Brooks and LeBron yapping at each other. That was great.
- I thought KD's first couple shots were really forced, like he was a bit caught up in the game. Then he scored a couple in transition and loosened up. Then it was on.
- Be honest: When the Heat were down 20 with four minutes left, you still didn't think it was over did you? I know I didn't.
- And let me go ahead and do this for you, Heat fans. LeBron has two rings, KD has none. We know. Everyone knows. Remember how annoyed you used to get when Kobe fans dropped that stuff on you? And now look at you.
Next up: At the Nets on Friday

They don't have to. Bettman has said that it requires a majority vote by the BoG. Toronto argues that they have a veto vote, but after discussions with the league, they commented something like "we only have one vote, apparently."
Mobile, so no source atm, sorry.
You're right about the voting to put the team in Toronto, but you can still envision problems between the 2 teams in regards to sponsors and more importantly tv rights.

While the NIT certainly isn't the coveted destination for college basketball teams at the end of the season, it is still a postseason tournament that allows each team involved to continue playing.
Whether it's a senior-laden team looking to simply extend their final season together or a young team that can use the time to grow before the start of the offseason, the NIT is another useful tournament for every program.
Here is a look at the bracket for the NIT, courtesy of ESPNU:
Here's the 2014 NIT Bracket - SMU, St. John's, Minnesota & FSU #1 seeds pic.twitter.com/kcR8riEQa7— ESPNU (@ESPNU) March 17, 2014
Perhaps one of the biggest snubs from the NCAA tournament was the SMU Mustangs. After finishing the season at 23-9, Larry Brown's first season with the Mustangs seemed destined to finish in the NCAA bracket.
But after wilting down the stretch with three straight losses, SMU fell just short of their NCAA dreams and instead heads into the NIT as a No. 1 seed. With other programs like Florida State, St. John's and Minnesota just missing out on the March Madness field, the NIT is a place where they can still prove their worth.
Before the tournament officially gets underway, here are a few teams to watch along with top storylines for the competition.
Teams To Watch
When talking about disappointment, being ousted in the NCAA tournament is one of the most emotional in all of sports.
Completely missing out on the field? That's a whole different kind of hurt. David Watkins of NBC 5 provides a look at the reaction from the SMU team after learning they wouldn't earn a berth:
This picture says it all. SMU will have to wait another year for a shot at the NCAA tournament. Crowd is stunned pic.twitter.com/DPeQq5h83C— David Watkins (@dwatkinsNBC5) March 16, 2014
SMU couldn't overcome a loss to South Florida or the three straight losses to close out the season and ultimately found itself in the NIT. With that type of motivation, the Mustangs will look to obliterate every team in their way to win the entire tournament.
Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com provided a statement from head coach Larry Brown regarding the upsetting result:
"When things don't go exactly how you planned, you can either pack it in or you can find a way to do better," Brown said. "We need to use this as a way to get better."
Thanks to stellar scorers like Nic Moore (13.7 ppg, 4.8 apg) and Markus Kennedy (12.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg), the Mustangs have plenty of firepower to get to the final in Madison Square Garden.
Florida State
Despite winning their second round matchup with Maryland in the ACC tournament after being a perceived bubble team coming in, the Florida State Seminoles still didn't earn a berth to the NCAA tournament.
The Seminoles have a strong core of young talent like Aaron Thomas (14.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg) and Boris Bojanovsky (12 points, 12 rebounds against Maryland) around senior leader Ian Miller.
With a No. 1 seed in hand, the Noles have a chance to down last year's NCAA Cinderella story in the first round by taking down Florida Gulf Coast. If Florida State can get by the high-flying Dunk City, it has a chance to win it all with the size of Okaro White and Bojanovsky down low making it difficult for any team.
Top Storylines
Can an Underdog Win the Tournament?
The fun part about the NIT is that nearly every team in the tournament has likely been an underdog throughout the season. And with some of the likable losers throughout the season earning No. 1 seeds in the tournament, it's tough to predict a team that could emerge.
But one of the most likely candidates to knock off a No. 1 seed might be the likes of Arkansas or Clemson, who are both No. 3 seeds in their regions.
Clemson features one of the best players in the country in K.J. McDaniels. His scoring touch and defensive prowess make him special, earning him a vote for ACC Player of the Year, per Joe Ovies of 99.9 The Fan:
#AsExpected, Warren received nearly twice as many as Jabari Parker. 48 to 25. Marcus Paige got 2 votes. CJ Fair and KJ McDaniels each got 1.— Joe Ovies (@joeovies) March 11, 2014
Along with some of the three seeds, teams like No. 8 Robert Morris, which upset Kentucky last season, and No. 6 Georgia State, which features former N.C. State and Kentucky player Ryan Harrow, have a chance to pull off big upsets over top seeds.
Every Conference Still Looking for Supremacy
It may be the NIT, but it's still a proving ground for young teams looking to rise in their respective conferences.
With teams like Florida State and Clemson earning high seeds in the NIT, a team like SMU will certainly attempt to show that the American Conference is just as strong as the ACC. In fact, Brown believes they missed out on the NCAA tournament due to their conference, per George Riba of News 8:
Larry Brown on no tourney bid: when I saw Louisville at 4, I figured we were in trouble. I knew they didn't have much respect for our conf.— George Riba (@georgeriba) March 16, 2014
As for the rest of the programs, teams like Green Bay and UC-Irvine are simply looking to show that their respective conference has a shot at holding their ground. It's never a perfect science when trying to figure out the NIT, but every team will show up eager to defend their conference.
After a long season for each of the teams competing against their conference throughout the entire year, every program will look to prove their style of basketball is better than anyone else in the country.

We defeated heroic Anub'arak, and that will be our final victory as a hardcore raiding guild. There was no scandal, no encounter that we couldn't beat, and our roster has 32 active raiders. In fact, we finished TotC poised to do well in Icecrown Citadel.
Why are we throwing in the towel? We realized that a large portion of our raiding core only raids out of dedication and obligation to the rest of the core. Very few of us actually enjoy the game, but no one wants to be that jerk who quits first. With Aion, new babies, and other things wanting our attention, we finally started discussing whether or not hardcore raiding was something our raiding core really wanted. It wasn't. It shows what a great community we have that so many kept playing for so long out of simple loyalty and dedication. Those members who still want to raid at a hardcore level will find new homes. The rest of us will stay on Bonechewer and play casually.
What legacy do we leave behind? In 2005, we wished the horde of Bonechewer an Emerald Christmas. During Black Temple we had every DPS scoring in the top 10 for their class on WWS scoreboard, and at one point we had 4 of the top 5 DPS parses for Teron Gorefiend. We also pioneered the bear cavalry and got a ZA bear mount for every raiding member. During Sunwell PTR we got a ton of publicity for our success and our live stream, WoW Radio interview mp3, interview review, and ptr first drama. We've been at the forefront of PvE progression ever since the beginning with a top 15 on Ragnaros, #12 Nefarian, top 10 C'thun, #3 Ouro, top 25 KT, and #6 KJ. Throughout WotLK we've gotten #3 - #23 on every kill.
This is the end of Vis Maior as a competitive raiding guild in WoW, but it isn't the end of Vis Maior. Our vent is as active as ever with PvP in WoW and nearly our entire roster playing Aion in some capacity. We are also looking forward to Diablo III and SC2. Vis Maior is not just a WoW guild, these past 5 years in WoW as well as the previous 5 years in Everquest have built a community that transcends games.
P.S. Vis Maior is no longer recruiting warlocks.
Within our 50 attempts this week we cleared through the twins, and got some learning attempts on Anub'arak. Xyrm recorded this video of our twins kill. Enjoy!
Also, we're looking to recruit a mage, warlock, rogue, and a healer of the non-paladin variety. Please read our recruitment tab.
We're recruiting warlocks and a few other classes! Check out the recruitment info page if you are interested!
Also congrats to Wayneria on his new 310% mount Mimiron's Head.

Album Review
The Band
was a very album-oriented group, and only had two Top 40 hit singles. So one could argue that a single-disc greatest hits compilation, or best-of anthology as this might more properly be called, is not the optimum way to dig into their repertoire. But if you're limiting yourself to one
collection and your budget or patience does not stretch for the two-CD
To Kingdom Come
set, this 18-song program hits all the famous buttons, including "The Weight," "Chest Fever," "Up on Cripple Creek," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "The Shape I'm In," "Stage Fright," and "When I Paint My Masterpiece." Naturally, it leans most heavily on their first two albums, which supply four songs each. Good, lengthy liner notes by
Rob Bowman
are a nice bonus, considering that single-disc career-spanning overviews often dispense with such frills. Strange, though, that "Don't Do It," their one Top 40 hit single other than "Up on Cripple Creek," isn't here; in fact, there's nothing from their live

That's the number of new players who will wear a Milwaukee Bucks jersey in 2013-14. Many of them have had success elsewhere, while some are rookies looking to make a strong first impression.
Whichever the case, the roster will have a new, different feel to it this season.
In order for it to be a successful year, the team will have to get contributions from many of the newcomers and certain players must increase productivity if the Bucks hope to reach the playoffs for a second straight time.
Some players—like O.J. Mayo—will thrive in a new, expanded opportunity while others may have to accept the notion of playing a lesser role.
Either way, contributions from all the new faces will be needed.
Each player will have an impact on his new team in a different way. Some will show up on the stat sheet while others won't. Nonetheless, it's important to look at what the output might be from a numbers standpoint.
