With a field of teams that could give it a feel of a final four more than the opening nights of a national tournament, Hope College has been selected to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Division III women's basketball championships this coming weekend (March 4-5). The Flying Dutch received an at-large berth to the 64-team field and have been rewarded as a host site. The teams coming to Hope's DeVos Fieldhouse on Friday and Saturday bring credentials unrivaled at any of the other tournament sites.
Friday's games
Denison (28-0) versus Washington-St. Louis (20-5), 5:15 p.m.
Hope (26-2) versus DePauw (25-3), 7:30 p.m.
The Friday winners will meet Saturday night at 7 p.m.
Tickets for each day are $8 for adults and $4 for students through the DeVos Fieldhouse ticket office.
* Washington University of St. Louis is the defending national champion having beaten Hope in last year's title game. The Bears have won five national championships and are appearing in the tournament for a 22nd consecutive year. Last year Washington defeated Hope 65-59 in the national championship game. Earlier this season Hope defeated Washington 49-47 on a neutral court.
* The host Flying Dutch have won two national championships, the last in 2006. Hope is making its 13th appearance in the tournament and will bring a 76-game home floor winning streak into the weekend, the longest in Division III.
* DePauw won the national championship in 2007 with victories during their title run over Hope and Washington-St. Louis. This is DePauw's eighth straight appearance in the tournament and the 12th in school history.
* Denison (28-0) is one of two undefeated teams in the field. The Big Red is making its seventh appearance in the tournament, the fifth in six years.
MIAA rival Calvin has also been selected to host a first-second round tournament set. The tournament's bracket is set up in a way that Hope and Calvin could advance to a fourth meeting of the teams in the Sectional final the weekend of March 11-12.

Story highlights
- A new information map reveals the most photographed cities in the world and top attractions
- Moulin Rouge not Eiffel Tower scored as the most popular picture place in Paris
- European cities dominate the list with eight out of 10 positions in the list
The Eiffel Tower isn't the most popular place for pictures in Paris, nor is the Empire State Building the top photo destination in New York.
At least, that's the case among users of Google's geolocation-oriented photo-sharing website, Panoramio, according to Sightsmap.com, which has ranked 15,000 cities and their attractions according to photos tagged.
The result is a "heatmap" with bright areas indicating more photos.
New York tops the list as the most photographed -- or the highest Panoramio-penetrated -- city in the world.
Europe dominates the chart with eight places in the top 10.
Among them are three cities in Italy, including Rome, which ranked second.
Barcelona rounds out the top three cities, with Park Guell as its top attraction.
More photos are tagged of the Guggenheim Museum and the Tweed Courthouse than the Empire State Building in New York City, according to the poll. (Perhaps because the Empire State Building is a tougher picture to take?)
The Church of the Santissima Trinita dei Monti triumphs in Rome and the city's favorite wishing pond, Trevi Fountain, follows.
Moulin Rouge is the most Panoramio-photographed attraction in Paris -- the Eiffel Tower came fifth.
Istanbul, recently named the world's top destination by TripAdvisor, was the fifth hottest city on Sightsmap.com -- Kiz Kulesi (Maiden's Tower) is the city's top attraction.
Top 10 cities (and their most photographed attractions)
1. New York (Guggenheim Museum)
2. Rome (Church of the Santissima Trinita dei Monti)
3. Barcelona, Spain (Park Guell)
4. Paris (Moulin Rouge)
5. Istanbul (Kiz Kulesi)
6. Venice, Italy (Ponte dell'Accademia)
7. Monte Carlo, Monaco (Hotel de Paris)
8. Florence, Italy (Piazzale Michelangelo)
9. Buenos Aires (Caminito)
10. Budapest, Hungary (St. Stephen's Basilica)

Major gifts to BU from BAE Systems, IBM and Kodak support underrepresented minorities, faculty development, laboratories
BAE Systems Platform Solutions, IBM Corp. and the Eastman Kodak Company are helping to mark the 20th anniversary of Binghamton University's Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science with gifts that encourage more underrepresented minorities to enter careers in high technology, maintain laboratories as state-of-the-art teaching facilities, and recruit and retain an excellent faculty.
"Committed industry partners helped found the Watson School and it has continued to receive their generous support throughout 20 years of growth and innovation," said University President Lois B. DeFleur.
Half of BAE Systems' gift of $100,000, along with Kodak's gift of $10,000 will support greater diversity among students of engineering and computer science by providing resources for the Binghamton Success Program, as well as peer mentoring and exchange experiences for underrepresented minority students. The remainder of BAE Systems' gift will be used for instructional laboratory enhancements, and a $25,000 gift from IBM will assist the Watson School in faculty recruitment and development.
"Technology has emerged as the driver of the world's economy, and the Watson School will play an important role in preparing future generations to succeed in that environment. In that light, we consider this grant to be an extremely sound investment," said William Berical, vice president of engineering at BAE Systems Platform Solutions and chair of the Watson School Advisory Committee.
"These gifts recognize the advancement of the Watson School over our 20-year history to a leading engineering institution serving a critical role in economic development in New York State and beyond," said Charles R. Westgate, dean of the Watson School.

Solid player, great character, and would be shame to lose but cannot throw huge money at him and its likely he'll get a better offer in the open FA market.
"Release the Kraken!"
- Dan Dierdorf, Giants vs Dolphins, 10/30/2011
If we could find an upgrade at LG that would be a nice down payment on upgrading the OL.
No one remembers who came in second.
we will stink at both guard positions. For those of you waiting for Snee to revert back to All Pro status,good luck. Snee has played at a All Pro level since 2009.
I think Boothe will be in blue next year. His talent is in his versatility not his overwhelming power and performance at one position. I don't see another team putting the big $$$ out there for a versatile backup
Still don't know what happen with Mitch Petrus ? Thought he played well in 2011, when he was needed !!! Got in the "DOG HOUSE" .

Vito Mannone says it is essential that Arsenal beat Montpellier in their next Champions League game if they are to progress from Group B.
Goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud gave the Gunners a two-goal lead against Schalke on Tuesday night, before the German side fought back for a draw.
With Olympiacos beating Montpellier, two points now separate three teams and Mannone admits it is going to be a tense end to the group stage.
"It was a really tough game," the Italian said. "There is a mixed feeling in the dressing room, because we could have won it and we also could have lost it.
"I thought we could get the three points but unfortunately they came back. Probably if we didn't concede that goal at the end of the first half it would have been a different game. But I think it was a good point.
"We need to focus on getting through the group now. We have six more points available to us and the next game is really important - we need to make sure it is a win."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

White House: Cairo speech inspired the Iran uprising
posted at 9:28 am on June 23, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
No, I'm really not kidding about this. The Washington Post has the story:
But Obama's shades-of-gray approach rejects comparison to an era when Communist bloc dissidents had virtually no access to the Western media and the world was more neatly divided between a pair of superpowers, not complicated by the set of ambitious regional powers such as Iran that the Obama administration is seeking to manage.
Since taking office, Obama has argued that reclaiming America's moral authority by ending torture and closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay provides essential diplomatic leverage to influence events in such strategic parts of the world as the Middle East and Central Asia. The speech he delivered to the Islamic world in Cairo eights days before the June 12 Iranian election sought to do that by providing what the president saw as an unvarnished accounting of U.S. policy in Iran, Iraq, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"We're trying to promote a foreign policy that advances our interests, not that makes us feel good about ourselves," said a senior administration official who, like others, declined to be identified, citing the sensitivity of the issue.
Obama's approach to Iran, including his assertion that the unrest there represents a debate among Iranians unrelated to the United States, is an acknowledgment that a U.S. president's words have a limited ability to alter foreign events in real time and could do more harm than good. But privately Obama advisers are crediting his Cairo speech for inspiring the protesters, especially the young ones, who are now posing the most direct challenge to the republic's Islamic authority in its 30-year history.
This is the most despicable, self-serving, and arrogant spin I've seen yet from this White House, and that's saying something. Obama gave a speech, and suddenly the people of Iran discovered that they're being ruled by tyrants? Never mind that two weeks passed between the speech and the uprising, and that the very obvious trigger for the unrest was the incompetent manner in which the mullahs rigged the election for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Never mind the fact that this President took a full week to even sound like a watered-down Nicolas Sarkozy, let alone the leader of the free world.
This is very obviously an attempt at damage control. Obama has gotten hammered for staying behind the curve of Western leaders in the defense of liberty, freedom, and human rights. He has preferred to stay on the sidelines in the hope that silence will make the mullahs like him enough to grant him an audience, while Sarkozy, Angela Merkel, and the Brits slam the mullahcracy for its brutal treatment of political opposition. Now, suddenly, Obama wants to claim credit for getting their first with his Cairo speech — which had nothing to do with overthrowing mullahs, and in fact had only a passing mention of democracy as an official US policy in the Middle East.
On the grand scale of things, I'd say that the establishment of democracy in Iraq had more influence on the Iranians than anything Obama's managed to say, and I wouldn't go so far to make it a proximate cause, or much more than a tertiary influence, after the stolen election and decades of repression by the mullahs.
Besides, how impressed do you think Iranians are with Obama's open invitation to the mullahs for a 4th of July BBQ? Think that inspires them to demand liberty?
Despicable, and shame on the Washington Post for not calling them on it.
Update: I meant to write two weeks, not two months, between the Cairo speech (6/4) and the uprising. It's fixed.
Update II: Jim Geraghty makes a great point:
Remember how it was important to recognize that these protests in Iran were triggered by ordinary Iranians' response to the election, and it was important for the U.S. government to be quiet, soft-spoken, and understated in its response to evolving events? Remember when the most important thing was that the Iranians, and the world, conclude that this uprising was generated entirely by internal sources?
Yeah, apparently that's no longer the case.
So now can we get a full-throated cry of support for freedom and liberty from the supposed leader of the Free World?

Will asylum seeker policy changes save lives?
Jul 19, 2013 , 11:04 AM by Vicki Kerrigan
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd plans to change Australia's asylum seeker policy, but will the changes stop the boats and save lives?
20 boats in the last 2 weeks have arrived at Christmas Island, that's around 100 arrivals per day. The Administrator of Christmas Island, John Stanhope says they have increased the mortuary facilities to cater for 50 bodies, previously it catered for 5.
Opposition leader, Tony Abbott says the Prime Minister should recall parliament to change Australia's border protection laws and Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition says people will keep dying at sea unless the Government changes its approach.
Whatever side of politics you're on - you probably agree that something does need to change, so that people stop dying at sea.
Julian Burnside is a Human Rights Lawyer and a refugee advocate; he fears that all of this talk will have no impact on the lives being lost at sea.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Its about time the politicians realized that we are responsible for these refugees coming here due to our involvement or in the wars in their countries, or in the case of Sri Lanka and Vietnam,our lack of involvement. The boats/refugees will not be stopped until the underlying problems forcing them to flee are addressed! Also, if climate change continues what we see now will be a trickle in comparison to the flood we'll see in the next decades.

Hi All,
I am preparing to get bees next Spring and have a question regarding
using foundation less frames.
There seems to be a bit of back and for about foundation less frames.
Well, I am actually plan to use them but I am not sure
whether this is the right approach when I start from scratch.
I do not have old drawn cones which can be used by the bees
after I have put them into the new hive.
Can I just put the frames (with starter strips) in the hive box and
pour the package of bees into it and put a feeder in or on top of the
new hive and be done with the installation?
Looking forward for some advice.
Thanks a lot

Hey guys,
I'm finally getting around to posting some pics of my completed ESB Fett. I met a few of you here and there at C3. It was great meeting you guys. I did all the paint work, the armor, helm, and jet pack are MLC. Gauntlets are Ruffkin. Jumpsuit is a Starfortress. I still need to get accurate gloves, and adjust the color on my ammo belt. I'm also waiting on my EE3 from Starfire. Other than those minor things, it is complete. What do you guys think?

Jackett relishing Coventry clash
Kenny Jackett has again highlighted the vital role of Wolves' fans so far this season as Coventry prepare to bring the biggest away following to Molineux tomorrow (3pm).
The Sky Blues have sold over 3,300 tickets for tomorrow's game, undoubtedly leading to an excellent atmosphere as Wolves return to action after the break for internationals.
Both Jackett and the Wolves players have been driven on by excellent support home and away this season, and the Head Coach is confident of more of the same tomorrow.
"Our home support has been very good and they have linked very well with the players, and at times, the supporters have got us over the line to win games as well," he said.
"They've driven us on at times or dragged us towards that win.
"That's been a vital component to what's been a pretty pleasing start to the league.
"They have been fantastic so far and contributed to our position and our points total.
"It will be a very good atmosphere and a local derby and we know we have to rise to these occasions and make sure we're ready.
"Wolves v Coventry has been played in mostly the upper echelons of the footballing pyramid – they've been two Premier League teams.
"We've picked up 25 points out of the first 30 so we're looking forward to the game.
"If we have been slightly second best or anxious at home, we've either come through it or defended well enough to have stayed in the game – that's the real key part.
"We'd love to dominate for the entirety of every game but the reality is you're not going to do that and sides will have a spell.
"That's when you need to defend well to stay in the game to give yourself a chance later on.
Jackett expects a tough test against a Coventry side which, but for a ten point penalty imposed during pre-season, would be fifth in the Sky Bet League One table.
He added: "Coventry have got a very good front two who have managed 18 goals between them now – Callum Wilson has 10 and Leon Clarke eight and it's the most potent strike pairing in the division so far.
"The boys behind them are working well and have a lot of belief in the lads up front when they're scoring that many goals.
"That's been a major contribution to an excellent start to a season when you consider everything that's happened to them with leaving the Ricoh and going to play at Northampton.
"What's gone on there in the last few years hasn't done the club any good, but I'm sure they will be delighted with the start to the season they've made with everything going against them.
"It could have been a disastrous season for them.
"They've started very well and I'm sure they've given everyone around their club optimism going forwards.
"Going to watch them play on Sunday and then seeing a good number go to the game but stay outside while the game is going on just shows you how deep the feeling is because it was a cracking game to watch inside the ground.
"I think from where they were stood, you could probably see it anyway, but it showed you how hurt they are by the situation and how much they feel Coventry is their home.
"They want to get back to the Ricoh Arena but you can only commend the team in what they've done in the circumstances on and off the pitch.
"We respect every opposition but we don't talk about them too much either because it's important we get everyone back and fit for a vital run of games now so we keep pace at the top."
Wolves will travel to Austria for their 2017/18 pre-season trainin....

Reviews for this host's other properties
I think that the place was almost perfect. It was very rustic and homely. The only problem was wi-fi but, in my opinion, if you are in Paris... why do you need internet? I enjoyed the place: the beds were really comfortable, the kitchen was easy to use and the bathroom reminded me of mine: small but useful. So, for me, five stars!
Nice little apartment, centrally located between Opera and Place Pigalle. Unfortunately, the carpet is a little worse for wear from the previous tenants. The bathroom is ok and the beds are good. The kitchen is stocked adequately. Traffic noise is not noticeable, and a fan at 20 meters running 24 hours.
Nette kleine Wohnung, sehr zentral zwischen Place Opera u. Place Pigalle gelegen.
Leider ist der Teppichboden von den Vormietern etwas lädiert. Das Bad ist okay und die Betten sind gut. Die Küche ist ausreichend bestückt. Verkehrslärm ist nicht wahrnehmbar und ein Lüfter in 20 m Entfernung läuft 24 Stunden.
This was a fantastic apartment and because of this a fabulous Paris experience!!! the location was excellent; within 5-10 mins to several metro stations, great local shops, bars and restaurants.There were 3 of us and the apartment was spacious enough to accommodate us all very well. The area is quiet and felt safe and I can not rate highly enough the service we received from Sebastien et al regarding the key pick up to leaving our bags in their office after checkout, they were extremely helpful and it was a great service. I will stay here again and cant wait to return to Paris. It is so refreshing to come back from a trip away and have no complaints!! thank you!!
This is a very nice, charming flat. Everything was clean and propper.
Sufficient for small family (4 persons). There is a supermarket and several restaurants and bar, as well as a boulangerie close to the flat. We would again book...
By and large, the apartment was beautiful. Convenient location, a perfect plan to get the key (at night) to get to the office. We were fifth and above all it is the sleeping space is not optimal. Internet did not work at unfortunately.
Im Großen und Ganzen war die Wohnung schön. Gute Lage, perfekter Plan, um den Schlüssel (nachts) im Büro zu holen.
Wir waren zu 5. und dafür ist vorallem die Schlafmöglichkeit nicht optimal.
Internet funktionierte leider überhaupt nicht.
nice appartment, functional perfect for a small family. Very small bathroom the size of the water (and it is not a figure of speech!), To improve the cleaning (covers stained, dirt settles on doors, bathroom fan, cutlery)
appartamento carino, funzionale perfetto per una piccola famiglia. Decisamente piccolo il bagno grande quanto il water (e non è un modo di dire!!!), da migliorare la pulizia (coperte macchiate, sporcizia sedimentata su porte, ventola bagno, portaposate )
I'm very satisfied. The apparment was perfectly located, close to everything, even though Paris is big. It's not that big but we were 4 persons and it was no problem. Love the balcony overlooking the street.
It was pretty hard to find when we arrived because the door number had fallen off.
But except from that everything was great!
Condo was absolut disgusting :-(
A lot of mildew in the shower, some light bulbs and TV out of order. Old dirt in the whole condo.
Thanks for nothing - never again !
Unfortunately, the studio was not clean. The household had to be done one month before because it was really dusty on some furniture and floor (parquet), the trash was dirty. Photos on a sofa was presented with a nice cover. There, that was not the case, we could see halos ladles on the mattress. The toaster did not work, nor the code of the door grafted after 3 days so we can go out for fear of not being able to go home! (For holidays Montmartre is not bad). The studio must have moisture problems as we could perceive black streaks down the walls, it's a shame because a little bit of white paint would make it any cleaner and more welcoming and more cheaply because given the daily budget that the studio could at least be clean!
Malheureusement le studio n'était pas propre. Le ménage avait dû être fait 1 mois avant car c'était vraiment poussièreux sur le peu de meuble et au sol (parquet flottant), la poubelle était sale. Sur les photos un canapé était présenté avec une jolie housse. Là, ça n'était pas le cas, on pouvait apercevoir des auréoles louches sur le matelas. Le grille pain ne fonctionnait pas, ni le code de la porte d'entée au bout de 3 jours donc on ne peut plus sortir par peur de ne plus pouvoir rentrer! (pour des vacances à Montmartre c'est pas mal). Ce studio doit avoir des problèmes d'humidité car on pouvait appercevoir des traces noires en bas des murs, c'est dommage car un petit coup de peinture blanche rendrait tout ça plus propre et plus accueillant et en plus à moindre coût car étant donné le budget journalier de ce studio ça pourrait au moins être clean!
quiet location, near metro station. Building was old, but charming. Difficult that you have elsewhere in the city the key to retrieve. The novelty of the described refurbishment was there again. Ikea furniture appears not as good and a great cleansing might just be good! With people you are comfortable with (for small toilet!) And not too high demands, it is a great place to stay. The 5th person had forgotten them, but they have put right after the bell.
rustig gelegen, dichtbij metrostation. Pand was oud, maar sfeervol. Lastig dat je eerst elders in de stad de sleutel op moet halen. De nieuwigheid van de beschreven opknapbeurt was er al weer af. Ikea meubilair blijkt niet zo degelijk en een grote schoonmaak zou wel eens goed zijn! Met mensen waar je vertrouwd mee bent (ivm kleine toilet!) en die niet te hoge eisen stellen is het een prima plek om te verblijven. De 5de persoon waren ze eerst vergeten maar hebben ze recht gezet na belletje.

Some of the tooling used for blueprinting
Mausers have two faces that the barrel seats on. The first is the face of the receiver, which gets trued by using a mandrel to chuck it up in a lathe
All the Mauser talk here lately motivated Me to dig out a project that got side tracked a couple of years ago. This is my 3rd Mauser project which in no way makes me an expert on the subject, but I have picked up a few things along the way.
I had already blueprinted the receiver before the project got shelved. It's a 1937 Czechoslovakian VZ-24 (large ring Mauser)
Some of the tooling used for blueprinting
Mausers have two faces that the barrel seats on. The first is the face of the receiver, which gets trued by using a mandrel to chuck it up in a lathe
The second seat is internal and is trued by using this tool. Which also has a second part used to true the bolt face.
This tool is somewhat similar to the one above. But this tool is spring loaded to apply pressure on the bolt for polishing the 3 locking lugs. You simply apply valve grinding compound to the lugs and work the bolt for awhile.
Last edited by 7.62x39; 09-22-2012 at 09:01 PM.
This tool is used to polish the raceways.
This receiver holding fixture mounts the receiver solidly while all this is going on.
Other tools used in this project include a barrel vise, receiver wrench, 7.62x51 finishing ream, go and no-go gauges and extractor ring pliers
Fitting the receiver to the stock is made a lot easier with these stock inletting pins and stock maker screws
I'm going to pillar bed the receiver and free float the barrel.
You can see that the rear mounting hole comes slightly elongated to accommodate variations in receivers. The receiver needs a solid lock up there for best accuracy. Here's how to do it. The pillar also solidly locks the receiver to the TG. First you need to drill out that hole large enough to fit the pillar and the bedding compound. Then accurately cut the pillar to the correct length. I also opened up the area around the front receiver lug to allow for the bedding material.
This pic shows the notch that must be cut in the TG to accept a trigger mounted safety.
You need to tape up the stock and apply the release formula to anything that you do not want the bedding compound to stick to.
In the 3rd pick you can see where I plugged the holes where I do want it to stick with silicone plugs before applying the release compound.

So i think that when reasoning about Tobi's true identity we can drop some "evidence" because it's a plot hole. The question is which part or parts could be these fake evidences. Even now in the debates here people prioritize evidences in a different way, for example one says that Tobi's words are more important and another says that Madara's words. But i think pictures should be always more important than translated sentences, which could also be mistranslated or simply misinterpreted when not knowing the exact context.
So for example if we take away from the evidences Madara's recent sentence about Izuna being dead then Tobi being Izuna seems to the best idea. Maybe Madara said this because he thinks Tobi betrayed him and he thinks Iznuna would have never done that.
Or maybe as Hunter said the rinne tensei that Madara used went wrong. Actually it could go wrong in a way that would bring in another idea described by Hunter: maybe too much time passed between the rinne tensei and Izuna's death and because of that the jutsu could not single out Izuna's soul from those surrounding it and accidentally brought back a mixture of souls of Izuna and other Uchiha and related (enemies, other clans) ninjas. In that case Izuna's mind would be dominating this mixture but his mind would be also filled with a lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings and hatred. And to bring peace to his soul which has all these conflicting feelings of past ninja who died in a world of hatred he found that the solution for himself and the whole ninja world is to be united into one singularity. Then to make himself "whole" he wants to unite in himself not only those few hundred souls but every human soul that lives. So for example Tobi is 40% Iznuna's mind and 1% for each of 60 other ninja, the knowledge being the combined knowledge of all these people would explain Tobi's vast knowledge and the strong feelings combined would explain Tobi's strange goal and attitude towards people. And most importantly it can explain why doesn't Madara regard him as being his real brother when he say Izuna is already dead.

Good idea about sending a clone to the alternate dimension...Tobi is severely depowered IMO now that kakashi has figured out it is only one jutsu. I hope that he makes an attempt to actually cancel Tobi jutsu (just like Tobi did) therefore preventing him from phasing out that way narutos attack land full on....unless the 10 tails or edo Madara interferes...

So expect Tobi to take the advantage in a big way. I guess the 10 tails will be unleashed or we will see some uber Tobi mode.
As much as a Tobi and Madara meeting makes sense, I get the sense from Kishi's interview that Madara is not done with the Kages.

Just shooting the breeze...
The first set, Itachi's eyes, had two distinct techniques (Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu) that combined to form a third (Susano'o). The second set, Sasuke's eyes, had one distinct technique (Amaterasu) and a support ability to the distinct technique (Enton) that combined together to form another distinct technique (Susano'o). (Of course, there is still some debate as to whether or not Enton is Sasuke's other MS technique, or if he also has Tsukuyomi, only weaker than Itachi's (much the same as Sasuke's Amaterasu being more powerful than Itachi's).)
If Tobi's technique is an MS jutsu, and it is Obito's other eye, then Obito's eyes do not follow either of the preexisting patterns for the MS. Specifically, Tobi's technique already does Kamui but with something extra (being able to send and return), consequently it is neither truly distinct from Kakashi's eye nor is it a support for Kakashi's eye (and Kakashi's eye technique is neither distinct nor a support for Tobi's eye (since Kakashi's eye is inferior)).
In other words, what is the point of Obito having two eyes that do not help each other (Tobi, if he is using Obito's eye, obviously doesn't need help from Kakashi's eye to do whatever it is he is doing) or simply do similar techniques?
Additionally, even considering that Obito's eyes could be similar to Shisui's (which seem to have only had one MS technique copied in each eye (which is explained due to the fact that the technique has a 1 year cool down period in between uses), Kakashi's and Tobi's techniques, while similar, are too different for them to be the same technique since one is clearly superior to the other (admittedly, Kakashi's chakra could have negatively influenced his borrowed eye, or maybe the full eye power only develops in an Uchiha body (of which only part of Tobi's body can be considered Uchiha)).
What we do know is that other MS's have existed in the past, and some abilities and techniques are already known (Amaterasu and Susano'o are shared between Sasuke and Itachi (and Susano'o has been confirmed for many other MS users), and it has been hinted at multiple times that other MS users have had the same techniques ( in the past). So, even if Kakashi and Tobi's technique is the same (or close enough), that does not mean the eyes came from the same source, it could simply mean that the eyes are able to access similar powers like other eyes in the past have already done.

The latter.
Basically Enton are the black flame themselves or rather the field of jutsu making use of them. Amaterasu is such a jutsu, the ability to summon and move those flames with your sight, whereas Kagutsuchi is the ability to apply Keitai Henka to the flames in order to manipulate their forms, movement and purpose.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Oh so good to see the Brits arriving to ooh and aah for our Muv the Quilting Queen!!!
Now, please join us here with a new patriotic project, BrownOwl and CoventryUK!!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I have now finished about 20 of those Union Jack cushions, and I need a different kind of patriotic challenge. Still mulling it over, but hasn't the challenge finished? Or are you carrying it over to 2013?
W.C. Fields
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
Just as patriotism will never end!!
Actually Works4Me and I were discussing the other day what our next Patriotic Project might be ... I think I know what mine will be!
So get those creative juices flowing BigBrownOwl ... maybe you could start something in honour of the new Royal Heir and complete it when the full details are known?
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Welcome bigbrownowl. What QuiltE said.
I'm debating whether I start my patriotic quilt next or have a small project in between. But, my Frankenstein quilt has to be finished first.
I have an American flag quilt that I have been planning for a couple of years. Maybe this is a good time to dust it off and get 'er done!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Howdy my friends.. I have been back at the sewing machine full time for two days now. I'm working on a small sampler quilt. It has been a great project to get my creative juices flowing again.
I have the camera charged and loaded the pictures onto my computer and no pictures of the ornament. Grr I know I took those pictures before I left and all the projects were packed away for storage. Well I guess the craziness of the times has taken another prisoner. Bummer.. I am so proud of the way it finally turned out. Oh well come spring when we are back in Indiana and I reunite with my lovely stash and UFO's I was working on I will be able to take pictures again to share.
In the mean time, I am thinking of making a Red, White, and Blue Mug Rug of my own design for 2013's first patriotic project. I know I want to incorporate a few of the blocks patterns from the sampler Im working on now. Here is a picture of it. I have it pinned to a football quilt pinned on the wall. I dont know how the colors will show up on your computer. The pictures don't do the fabric justice at all.
Part of what I was thinking for the Patriotic Mug Rug was to hand quilt a wavy flag pole design on individual blocks in the solid blocks that separate the sampler blocks. Will be searching the Quilt Cache for block ideas also. I don't think though I will set the blocks on point as I am doing in this first project. I am going to look for small and large print paisleys in fabrics. IDK just my beginning project thoughts. It is SEW good to be back at the machine and creating.
Have an awesome day!
Glad that you're back and bonding with your sewing machine Jenniky!
Odd isn't it, as to how much more settled we are when sew?
At least, that's the way it is for me.
Looks like you made good progress on your latest project ... at first I though, oh how odd that she's mixed in some football material. Then I realized you hadn't made those blocks yet! duhhhhhhh!
And being that you didn't tell us, I am assuming you now have snow and cold weather.
Otherwise, I'm sure you would have told us that there wasn't any!!
So sorry for the change of fate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Grammavee - Great! As QuiltE said, that is exactly how this thread started. We needed a push to get our patriotic projects done.
Jenniky - glad you are sewing again. And so happy you are thinking of another patriotic project. I really like your idea for the quilting in the solid spots.
Looking forward to project photos from everyone.
Wanted to share with you a great deal!!
The editor of Fons & Porter contacted me to review their new eBook. If you like log cabin quilts you can get a free copy of this "eBook" by heading over to my blog!
Happy Quilting!

(additions are underscored)
National Futures Association ("NFA") Compliance Rule 2-4 provides that Members and Associates shall observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in the conduct of their commodity futures business. NFA Compliance Rule 2-36(c) similarly provides that Forex Dealer Members and their Associates shall observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in the conduct of their forex business. Over the years, NFA's Board of Directors ("Board") has provided guidance on certain issues to ensure that Members and Associates understand their responsibilities to observe just and equitable principles of trade and to act honestly, fairly and in the best interests of their customers.
For example, in 1986, the Board issued an Interpretive Notice to provide Members with guidelines relating to the disclosure by FCMs and IBs of costs associated with futures transactions. The Board stated that Compliance Rule 2-4 requires that each FCM Member, or in the case of introduced accounts, the Member introducing the account make available to its customers, prior to commencement of trading, information concerning the costs associated with futures transactions.
NFA's 1986 Notice also recognized that Members may employ various arrangements in establishing their commissions, fees and other charges associated with futures transactions to customers. Typically, commissions for futures transactions have been set competitively since the 1970s, and Members usually base these charges on their costs plus a reasonable profit, and the services provided by the Member. The vast majority of NFA Members impose commission charges in a manner commensurate with their costs and the services provided by the Member, and adequately disclose and explain to customers commission rates, fees and other charges.
The Board has also previously recognized, however, that any fee arrangement which is intended to or is likely to deceive customers is a violation of NFA Requirements (e.g., NFA Compliance Rules 2-2 and 2-29(a)) and will subject the Member to disciplinary action. Over the years, NFA's Business Conduct Committee ("BCC") has charged several Members and their Associates with violating NFA sales practice requirements because they misled customers as to either the amount of commissions or the significant impact of the commission charges on the likelihood of obtaining any profit. Most of these cases have involved the sale to retail customers of commodity options and forex. 1
The Board believes that it is appropriate at this time to provide guidance on the types of sales practices specifically relating to commissions, fees and other charges that have been found to be deceptive and misleading, and violate commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.2 Therefore, the following are relevant factors regarding commissions, fees and other charges in determining whether a Member or Associate has presented retail customers with a distorted and misleading view of the likelihood of earning profits by investing with a Member:
1 See, e.g., In re Qualified Leverage Providers, Inc., NFA Case No. 05-BCC-003; In re Calvary Financial Group LLC, NFA Case No. 02-BCC-005; In re The Siegel Trading Co., Inc., NFA Case No. 97-BCC-007; In re Bachus & Stratton Commodities, Inc., NFA Case No. 92-BCC-015 aff'd, NFA Case No. 93-APP-002; and In re Churchill Group, Inc., NFA Case No. 90-BCC-012.
2 This Notice does not apply to security futures products, which are governed by NFA Compliance Rule 2-37(g) and its Interpretive Notice relating to fair commissions. See NFA Manual paragraph 9047.

After seeing the Senior Bowl practices, I have a new sense of what I believe we should do. Resign Beatty and let Boothe walk in FA. Release Diehl, Boley and C-Web and restructure Canty and Baas. Here is the draft. I am predicting a comp 6th round pick for losing Aaron Ross:
1. Alec Ogletree - ILB Georgia - I think Ogletree can play the middle in Perry's D as he has the side to side speed that we would need here. He needs to work on getting off blocks better but that will come in time.
2. Khaseem Greene - OLB Rutgers - Two LBs in a row, well that is our team weakness. Greene has the athleticism to cover TEs and to mirror RG3 and whomever Philly brings in to run Chip Kelly's Offense.
3. Brian Winters - OL Kent St. - Meet our starting LG. Plug and play tough guy who will help the run game immensely and looked good in pass protection at the Senior Bowl.
4. Ricky Wagner - OT Wisconsin - I liked the way Wagner looked at the Senior Bowl as well. Another beast of a run blocker who held up well in pass protection. Will challenge for a starting spot with Brewer and Mosley and may the best man win.
5. David Amerson - CB NC State - I am predicting a slide for Amerson on draft day. His does not seem to have the hips to play CB in the NFL but is not good enough of a tackler to play Safety. His ball skills are undeniable though and we take a shot here.
6. Josh Boyd - DT Mississippi State - Boyd does not do anything great but is pretty solid in all phases. Also very battle tested from the SEC. Fits into the rotation on the DL.
6. Caleb Sturgis - K Florida - Tynes has been good for us but does not have the leg anymore to hit anything over 45. Also, do not want to pay a lot for a kicker. Sturgis has a big leg.
7. Justin Brown - WR Oklahoma - We have a decision to make next year between Cruz and Nicks. I don't think we can sign both. Brown has good size and is a good PR. If we lose Hixon, Brown can fill that role on specials and learn the offense for the next season.

England looks back on 8 years as Chubbuck mayor
CHUBBUCK, Idaho - Tuesday was the last election Steven England would see as Chubbuck's mayor.
He has been in the office for eight years. Before that, he was on the City Council for 22 years.
"I just came to the conclusion that 30 years as a comfortable amount of time," said England.
During his time serving the city, he was more than just mayor. He helped deliver hot meals with the Meals on Wheels program, supported the community hockey program and helped bridge the relationship between Pocatello and Chubbuck.
"Rather than having two separate proclamations, we would develop the proclamations together from the two cities. Then we'd go to one event and read one paragraph and then the other so that it really became a joint proclamation," he said.
He also brought in big business like Allstate.
England's hard work has brought the city to where it's at today.
With a vision Chubbuck will keep growing, he said he won't be slowing down anytime soon.
He'll continue to serve on the Pocatello-Chubbuck Auditorium Board, Chamber of Commerce, Pocatello Chiefs, the Valley Pride Committee and in the next couple of years, he and his wife plan on serving an LDS mission together.

Video courtesy Graney Family
There have been many great onscreen cowboys over the years. John Wayne. Clint Eastwood. Sam Elliot. These are just a few Hollywood stars who have donned big-brimmed cowboy hats to entertain fans of Western movies. Trevor Brazile also wears a cowboy hat. But there's a big difference between Brazile and the actors—Brazile is a real cowboy. Fans might even say he is the greatest cowboy in history. Recently, he took home his eighth all-around world championship at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the first person to win eight of the prized gold buckles.
Practice Makes Perfect
Brazile lives with his family on a 100-acre ranch in Decatur, Texas. He has earned his championship titles by competing in tie-down, steer and team-roping events. Brazile is so serious about his craft that he had an arena built on his ranch with the same dimensions as the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, where the NFR is held each December.
Brazile practices every day, and it has certainly paid off. He has earned more than $3.3 million in career earnings competing in the rodeo. "I love being able to make a living doing what I love to do," Brazile told TFK. "Winning makes it that much better. I work my tail off every year, because I have so much respect for my competition."
What would he do if he weren't a cowboy? "I would be doing another sport," he says. "I love competition." But, he adds, "The hardest part [about this line of work] is the miles. We travel a lot and it takes a toll on our bodies."
A Cowboy for All Time
Pro Rodeo Hall of Famer Dean Oliver thinks Brazile could have succeeded in any era of the sport. "Trevor would have been fine back then," said Oliver, who won five straight all-around titles in the early 1960s. "He could win in any era. Oh, golly, there have been a lot of great cowboys. But Trevor is good in all three of his events, not just one."
Before last December's NFR, Ty Murray was considered by many to be the best cowboy around. Murray even holds the nickname, "King of the Cowboys." He has won seven all-around titles in events such as bareback, saddle-bronc and bull riding. He is also the one cowboy Brazile looks up to the most. "Ty Murray is one of my heroes and always will be," Brazile said.
But who's the toughest cowboy? For Brazile, it's John Wayne's rugged onscreen alter ego. "John Wayne was tougher than me," Brazile said. "Nobody can go against the Duke."

Shannon Gales, who was critically injured Thursday night while trying to push her disabled SUV, died Saturday at University Hospital in Louisville.
Kentucky State Police said the 1995 GMC SUV Gales was driving ran out of gas near the 200 block of Larue Lane in Elizabethtown. Gales, 25, and her passenger got out and attempted to push the vehicle to Gales' mother's house. Gales' 2-year-old daughter was strapped in a car seat still inside the vehicle.
At some point, the GMC started to roll backward. The passenger quit pushing as it rolled back; however, Gales kept a grip on the steering wheel in an attempt to stop it from rolling, police said. The vehicle kept rolling, traveled down an embankment and overturned over a culvert. Gales became pinned underneath it as it rolled on top of her, police reported.
KSP was called just before 9 p.m. and troopers arrived within 10 minutes. Trooper Dennis Oldham and Sgt. Jeff Jenkins were able to lift the vehicle off the Elizabethtown woman and administer CPR until an ambulance crew arrived.
Gales was transported to the emergency room at Hardin Memorial Hospital and later was taken to University Hospital in Louisville where she died Saturday.
Her daughter was uninjured.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Trooper Shannan White is investigating.

Strategic RTS. Everyone's viewpoints all bottle down to this simple label I slapped on.
A Real Time Shooter,
RTS means Real Time Strategy. An FPS, First person shooter, is always real time. Real Time was added to Strategy when it was no longer turn based because of computers.
Star Craft is an example of this.

The Village Theatre will hold a special presentation on rebuilding the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge on Tuesday, March 27 at 2 p.m. After one of the upper spans of the eastern bridge pancaked downward during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, political squabbles delayed the selection of a final design and start of construction until 2002. The final design will create an iconic new Bay Area Landmark to rival the Golden Gate Bridge upon its completion, hopefully by Labor Day 2013. The Village Theater is located at 233 Front St., Danville. Tickets are 410 for sponsor members and $15 for guests. Call 837-3750 or visit www.museumsrv.org.

I'm not getting out myself, but getting in more and more: expanding. But having a conversation with a friend, he talked about how hard it is to get your money back if you sell out of beekeeping. He said you'd be very luck to make 50 cents on the dollar.
What are your thoughts?
Is it always a losing proposition?
Is the possibility of selling out a solid reason for using the most standard equipment you can?
Are there other ways to maximize your resale value as you build your operation?

Izzo's and Chipotle are both a cut above Moe's. I like Chipotle. They do what they do well. Their guacamole is really good. I think Izzo's is a notch above them, based on having more options. You get one choice of tortilla flavors at Chipotle (flour), while Izzo's has 4 (flour, wheat, cayenne and spinach). Toppings at both places are very fresh. Again, Izzo's has more variety like fresh jalepenos, sauteed onions, grilled mushrooms, none of which you can get at Chipotle. I like Izzo's house made sauces (illegal and Habenero). Chipotle has Tabasco bottles. Izzo's pork > Chipotle's pork. Chipotle's chicken > Izzo's chicken. Steak is a wash. Izzo's has grilled shrimp. Izzo's has queso.
Chipotle is probably the closest to Izzo's in terms of fresh ingredients, but Izzo's takes it beyond with more options. That said, I rarely leave Chipotle disappointed either. But I do like having the other choices at Izzo's.
People saying chipotle is better obviously don't like la owned food

After that while hauling it home I came across an s10, called the guy, got it all set up to pick up in 3 days... Drive all the way down (80 miles) to get it, guy stiffs me and says he sold it. Ok fine, whatever, karma will get him. Finally my dad and I talked, I was using his 06 Silverado to tow my car to the track(will make a thread for that car once I get situated here) We ended up convincing me that an s10 just wont do anymore, that its time to get a reliable, 4x4 for winter, and a good tow vehicle so i dont have to borrow his for towing mine to the track. Go to dealership to look at one, owner is a prick, I end up walking out. Strike 2.... one more im out. Guy wanted $22K for a base Sierra, 44K miles, one accident, and no options.... Guy was a straight up jerk, but I'm glad he was a prick to me. Hop on craigslist and finally found this one, test drove it. LOVED IT. 2008 Chevy Silverado LT w/ LT2 4x4 5.3L Flex Fuel V8 23,000 Miles 3 year/ up to 75,000 mile warranty starting 6/7/11 5 year/ 100k mile warranty BLACK (wanted most) Cloth Interior (which I wanted) Center Console (I wanted) Z71 Suspension w/ Offroad Package Remote Start Power Everything on pure e85, im getting around 18-19mpg highway at 62mph with the ac off, I do notice it goes into and stays in v4 mode a LOT more with ac off.

Some game franchises should just die quietly when they have the chance. This latest game set around the ever-popular killing machine should never have seen the light of day after endless promises that weren't kept.
But, it has to be said, good on Gearbox Software, which acquired the game last year and actually got the thing to market where others had tried and failed.
DNF (ha ha) was announced way back in 1997 - and if it had have stayed in the decade, would probably have been received with open arms.
But these days, it takes more to woo gamers than a crewcut-sporting misogynist in bad sunglasses. The schoolboy humour is intact, although it seems even more dated in this more liberal era - like the "wall boobs" that Duke is urged to slap occasionally. One-liners pulled from action films still offer a good laugh, although some of them do get a bit repetitive.
Gameplay itself is utterly ordinary; though you'll get a blast of nostalgia for the first few minutes, it quickly becomes pedestrian.
The control system is basic, but sticky and slow - trying to take out multiple flying enemies while you have to wait for your scope to catch up with your movement does not help you win firefights.
Duke's movement and dexterity is a far cry from what you'd expect in a modern shooter, which makes for some frustrating levels where game mechanics prove to be the real enemy. And as for enemy AI - it's so basic the challenge becomes remembering where the aliens will spawn from, not actually blowing them to bits.
But Duke's substance abuse does add some fun - drink beer to be tougher, albeit with blurry vision, or neck steroids to smash foes with a single, bloody punch. Graphically Duke Nukem is also caught in a timewarp - there are major framerate issues; and characters, weapons and items generally look blocky and dated.
Though the environments' designs don't miss the mark by much, the level of interactivity with items in a modern game is much higher, and they look awful and patchy. We're also a bit more demanding of quality splatterhouse gore these days too. Other characters in the game - including the delightful Pigcops of old and, of course, endless strippers and anatomically dodgy bikini babes - all seem wooden and clunky, although this fits the less-than-stellar voice acting.
If you want a class shooter with awesome gameplay, get Black Ops; if you'd like a slightly less classy title with crass humour and sexist anti-heroes, get Bulletstorm.
But if you're a true fan of the Duke Nukem series and its numerous spin-offs on numerous devices, by all means have a look - give it a month and check the bargain bins.

sorry guys, no pics to display. We watched the game like 2 civil adults. She did not get real upset and admitted the Giants played well and that the 49ers stunk it up. She knows the Giants are a very good team and like I said, she will root for them most of the time and was by my side in 2007 and 2011 when the Giants won it all. I would tease her from time to time, but did not rub the 49ers loss in her face.
I did mention to her that there are a few 49ers fans coming back and eating their crow. I also mentioned that there are some conspiracy theorists out there that think Jacobs gave the Giants the 49ers game plan. She just thought that was crazy that some people would think that.
I did have her on my side earlier in the afternoon---she was rooting for the Ravens and Lions to win as well---LOL!!!

Серёжа, Sergey
Of the 30% National Winterloss as reported, how much of these losses have to do w/ neonicetinoids? I doubt that there is any data on that. Is there?
Nothing personal? Of course not. I didn't take it that way and neither should you.
Mark Berninghausen
I have deep respect to people like yourself, Mr. Palmer and other 1398, who is working very hard in commercial operation. My point was that it is not right to make a conclusion that all bees are OK between neonics fields based on 0.006-0.07% sample. If you ask the question, you need to know the answer. May be you could answer for Mr. Palmer? Why his bees are doing well? For instance, when Michael Bush is commenting on beesource, he always post a references to the book, so people could learn.
Серёжа, Sergey
OK, this is getting circuitous.
From what I can tell by reading some of Michael Palmer, his bees do well because of good beekeeping. That's all.
The fact they are surrounded by neonics does not seem to affect them. Mike may or may not have some theories as to why, but really, he probably doesn't know, other than that the effect of neonics on his bees is not the sky falling down scenario that some claim it ought to be.
The reason this has got circuitous Cerezha, is you are constantly trying to work the argument around to the position that Mike has to explain why his bees are unaffected by neonics. But to repeat what has already been said, it is up to people who claim his bees should be affected by the neonics, to explain why their claims are being shown to be untrue in this case.
No reason Mike has to explain anything, least of all respond to comments with a "tone".
"Thinking Inside The Box"
. . . it is up to people who claim his bees should be affected by the neonics, to explain why their claims are being shown to be untrue in this case.
Yes, that is indeed the point!
(6th year, 15 hives, Zone 5b, 5500')
To explain it a bit different Cerezha, it would be like me claiming that your bees are affected by unseen microwaves. When you say your bees are fine, I then counter by saying, OK, well explain why they are not affected by microwaves then.
Why should you?
If I made the claim, I would have to explain how it affects your bees, not demand you do.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I purposely do not touch neonics because we have a history of the hot "discussions" going nowhere. If Mr. Plamer's bees are doing 300% better than average (winterloss 10% vs 30%) it may be beneficial to 1399 other commercial operations to learn from Mr. Palmer's expertise - if everyone will have 10% loses, we could just forget neonics! I am trying to see a positive side in this story. Since, loses in average around 30%, to me it means that not so many people learned from Mr. Plamer's how to do a better beekeeping. But, yes, I agree - 10% loss is indication of good beekeeping practice and we all need to learn from Mr. Palmer. I personally, feel bad that did not manage to read any of Mr. Palmer's books or publications. My excuse is that I am a hobbyist and experiment with my bees in my own way. Right now, I am solving the problem, how my formerly nice bees in their anger managed to penetrate PM vented suit many times? My theory is that they regressed so much that their butts are small enough to get trough first mesh layer... or may be I unintentionally selected them to penetrate vented suit?
Серёжа, Sergey
Серёжа, Sergey
I would not presume to speak for Michael Palmer. He is the one to do that.
Some things I do know are that Michael doesn't migrate and he raises his own queens and has done so over a long period of time.
Mark Berninghausen
you gotta get out into other Forums Sergey. I think this is pretty common knowledge written by Michael himself. Not that I know a lot about other beekeepers on beesource myself I guess.
Being a good beekeeper for perhaps 40 years helps too. Though I guess there are others who have been losing bees who have as many years experience as Michael.
Mark Berninghausen
But this is how the system works - company must provide the evidence that chemical is safe, not reverse... unfortunately, US system does not work well to protect citizens - it issues regularly temporary permits before evidence that the chemical is safe has been provided... than these temporary permits extended to infinity...

Salivary nicotine and salivary cotinine is widely used in clinical and epidemiological studies to validate smoking cessation. However, the reported collection for salivary nicotine and salivary cotinine vary by technique and duration. This study investigated the influence of salivary collection by unstimulation and stimulation technique of the concentration of salivary nicotine and salivary cotinine. It was found that unstimulated technique produced the highest salivary nicotine concentration, whereas stimulated technique produced the highest salivary cotinine concentration. The results of this study suggest that it is important to standardise salivary nicotine and cotinine collection technique.

text: Ok, so I got an old 30's Iver Johnson motorbike frame. I had no idea that the two-piece cranksets were such a joy to try to locate. I see two options which I feel are within the scope of my abilities. I just want to see what experiences others may have had with these options: 1)cut out the crank hanger and replace it (i.e., weld in or splice) with a standard for one-piece cranks 2)harvest a hanger for a 3-piece crankset, which will fit inside the current hanger, tack weld it in, and run 3-piece cranks Obviosly the biggest factor in either of these options is that whatever hanger is placed in will have to be perfectly straight. With the second option, it has to be perfect the first time, because in order to avoid damage to the threads on the donor hanger, the welding will be done in an area where it would be difficult if not impossible to remove it to redo it if I screw it up. Either way it looks like I may be posting some project pics soon for this. I have a feeling I will go with the 2nd option, and I doubt that many people have done this one. Most people don't want to hack into a prewar frame too often.

2012 12.20 Submitted by Tim Schulz, President & C.E.O. This article is worthy of front page! I am pleased that we have won numerous national championships, players going Division
I full ride scholarship athletes, players signing pro, etc. etc. but have a look at this superstar.
Though I live in Denver, Colorado, I have known this gal from the Rush in Anchorage, Alaska for a half dozen years. She is my hero. Yes, she is a good player but more important she is an amazing citizen. This gal not only gives her time to R.E.A.C.H., Rush Equipment Assisting Children, but also works with the TOPSOCCER program, Children with physical and mental disabilities. I want to recognize her and point out that the United States Youth Soccer association has done the same. She is the recipient of the 2012 US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year Regional Award.
"I have helped out with the AK Rush Thunder TopSoccer program since it started over 4 years ago," said Laura. "AK Rush Thunder started when my best friend Rachel's mom helped Robert Devasie, get the program going. Rachel has a brother with Down's Syndrome. Over the years I have enjoyed being with him and teaching him soccer. I first went to Special Olympics and helped him play."
Region IV – Laura Ellen Aspelund – Anchorage, Alaska
Though she's just a sophomore in high school, 15-year-old Laura Ellen Aspelund has made an impact on TOPSoccer participants, as she encourages players like her buddy, Mark, to try new things and embrace the game and life. In addition to being a buddy, Aspelund is also a certified TOPSoccer coach. Aspelund maintains a 4.0 GPA while balancing her work with TOPSoccer, other volunteer efforts and her own playing career, which included a spot on the Alaska Olympic Development Program team.
Laura, continues,"I was coaching at the AK Rush Youth Academy at the time but I felt like I was missing something. Once I started being a TopSoccer Buddy and coaching TopSoccer I felt awesome. I so enjoy sharing the happiness of playing soccer with the players, seeing their successes, smiles and great joy. I have actually learned lessons myself, about patience, kindness and the important things in life."
Good job Alaska Rush and very good job Laura, Tim

Kingsport traffic fatalities up
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - It's been a deadly year for Kingsport drivers -- we've learned 14 people have been killed on the roads since the beginning of the year.
"What we're seeing this year is a huge multitude of causes and locations," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Police tell us they haven't seen this many fatalities since 2005. "They're happening in a variety of places, in a variety of times, for a variety of reasons," says Patton.
The reported reasons range from drug and alcohol use, to text-and-driving, to red light running. Less than half of those who died were not wearing seat belts.
Officers say the main theme in all the fatalities is driver error.
We pulled the numbers for the totals for the Tri-Cities and found that in Johnson City, there have been seven traffic fatalities this year. In Bristol, Tennessee, there haven't been any. Bristol, Virginia has had three traffic fatalities this year.
Kingsport police have a message for all drivers: "Pay attention to your driving, obey traffic laws, drive the speed limit, stop at the red lights, don't text and drive, don't drive while impaired," says Patton.

Mold problems at former Missouri State Penitentiary date back years
ABC 17 News investigation finds reports of "abundant" mold in 2010
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Work on renovations at the former Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City could begin within weeks, but an ABC 17 News investigation has found mold problems date back years in the buildings.
Tours were canceled at the former prison in fall 2013 because staffers noticed the smell of the mold was more powerful than ever after a wet spring season. A study done then showed elevated mold spore numbers throughout the public-access areas.
The inspections obtained by ABC 17 News indicate levels of stachybotrys, or black mold, up to 20 times higher than in the air outside the buildings. Other mold spore counts reached as high as 80 times the outside air count.
"[Stachybotrys] is dangerous but it is mostly dangerous to people who already have lung problems, breathing problems and asthma," said Michael Goldschmidt, an environmental design specialist with the University of Missouri extension. "So the higher quantity that's being shown in these buildings would be problem for people who have asthma or respiratory problems."
Goldschmidt was shown the 2013 inspection results and noted that the molds found inside the former state penitentiary were consistent with old buildings in Missouri. MSP was the oldest prison west of the Mississippi when it closed in 2004, having opened in 1836.
"This is not unexpected, but it's still higher than what might be safe for a building like this, especially if a large amount of the general public may be walking through it," Goldschmidt added.
Prison history and ghost tours brought nearly 19,000 people to the former prison in 2012, raising around $300,000 in direct revenue, according to the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.
In an open records request, ABC 17 News obtained a 2010 hazardous materials survey of the former Missouri State Penitentiary. In it, California-based Tetra Tech observes "abundant" or "elevated" mold throughout the property.
Documents show the observations were also made in Housing Units 1, 3 and 4, which are the three units currently slated for renovation.
"Tetra Tech recommends repairing/closing windows that area currently open and addressing all area where water intrusion is occurring," according to the report. "All visible mold growth should be removed from the buildings."
At the time of the survey and final report, tours had been happening throughout the MSP facility for about one year.
ABC 17 News asked the state Office of Administration why the mold was not addressed at the time of the 2010 survey, when tours were in their infancy.
The office issued this statement:
"Although hazardous materials were identified previously, they were found in specific locations in non-public access areas, thus the exposure was deemed to be minimal or non-existent. Most were common fungi and not considered toxic."
"When testing was completed in 2013, it showed that the levels and locations of mold had increased since 2010. This prompted further testing which showed that elevated levels now exist in public areas, thus the tours were halted due to the potential for unacceptable exposure that the current conditions present."
Ryan Burns, public information officer for OA, added that the office would go into more detail about the current renovations at the site when work got underway.
"If they can repair windows, repair doors, repair the walls so that the water's not leaking in, that goes a long way," Goldschmidt told ABC 17 News. "Then you remove the mold that's there and you increase the ventilation because we have a saying – 'dilution is the solution to pollution.' The more fresh air they pump in, the less chance that those mold spores will be there and in less numbers."
In terms of health effects, Goldschmidt added that most visitors to the prison should not have experienced any sickness even given the elevated spore counts because the vast majority of people can handle high levels of molds.
"My experience is that although these can be problematic, they are pretty common in old Missouri buildings, we see them all the time," he said. "But if they started to develop asthma or respiratory problems, shortness of breath, especially right after they were there they should see a physician."
In November, Governor Jay Nixon and Jefferson City-area state Senator Mike Kehoe announced a $2 million joint deal to get the former prison reopened to tours by this spring, noting that the true economic of the landmark as tourist spot was much higher.
Of that, $1 million will come from a state facilities fund and the remaining $1 million will be provided by the City of Jefferson from a half-cent sales tax passed by city voters in 2011.
Mayor Eric Struemph defended the decision to spend the money to ABC 17 News, saying the money had already been approved for roads at the former state penitentiary site and therefore wouldn't come at the expense of any department's budget.
City and state leaders stressed the need to get the prison reopened in a November 6, 2013 news conference announcing the investment to replace windows, doors and roofs while removing the mold inside.
"As an architect, I really want them to reopen this building for tours, again, it's an architectural icon, it has tremendous historical value," Goldschmidt said. "At the same time, I want them to clean up the mold."
According to the state Office of Administration, bid for the renovation work should go out any day. As of the end of January, the prison was expected to reopen for tours sometime in the spring.
