Optimization problems defined by (objective) functions for which derivatives are unavailable or available at an expensive cost are emerging in computational science. Due to this, the main aim of this paper is to attain as high as possible of local convergence order by using fixed number of (functional) evaluations to find efficient solvers for one-variable nonlinear equations, while the procedure to achieve this goal is totally free from derivative. To this end, we consider the fourth-order uniparametric family of Kung and Traub to suggest and demonstrate two classes of three-step derivative-free methods using only four pieces of information per full iteration to reach the optimal order eight and the optimal efficiency index 1.682. Moreover, a large number of numerical tests are considered to confirm the applicability and efficiency of the produced methods from the new classes.

Bearcats Tied for Ninth at Old Waverly Bulldog Invitational
WEST POINT, Miss.- The University of Cincinnati women's golf team is tied for ninth after the first round of the season-opening Old Waverly Bulldog Invitational at Old Waverly Golf Club on Monday.
Senior Alex Carl and junior Olivia Dose led the way for the Bearcats with a pair of first-round 74s, which is good for a tie for 11th place. Sophomore Mackenzie Moir is tied for 37th with a 78, while senior Maria Roosis 54th after a first-round 83.
Fredricka Winqvist and Andrea Malekposted scores of 85 and 91, respectively. Winqvist is participating as an individual in the three-day event hosted by Mississippi State.
The Bearcats posted a team round of 309, tied with Kennesaw State for ninth, one shot behind Memphis. Tulane leads the field after 18 holes with a 290 team score, while the Green Wave's Gemma Dryburgh leads the individual competition with a first-round 69.
"We got off to a slow start but we were pleased with many things during the round today," said Director of Golf Janet Carl. "We will work on improving a few things for tomorrow's round, looking to make a move up the leaderboard."

I have a hive that is not building very rapidly and I am currently trying to decide what if anything I need to do. We have only had a couple of weeks of weather that even approaches a normal spring here, with the weather last week having a temperature swing from 38F to a record 97F in a 48 hour period. Unusual to say the least. With the abnormally cold spring, all my queens that had overwintered, briefly stopped laying in late April (early inspection towards end of April showed no capped brood in any of my hives). However, since then all but one has kicked into to high gear and now have multiple frames of brood (capped and uncapped). Today I did an inspection of my hives and the one overwintered hive I have a home (the rest are at a friend's 45 minutes from home), only has a small amount of brood. I found the queen and her laying pattern is good, but is only filling approximately a 1/4 to 1/3 of several frames. The number of bees in this hive also has fallen significantly since the last inspection of this hive about 2 weeks ago.
My questions are:
- Should I replace this queen? She is 2 years old this year but this hive was a great producer last year and I had been hoping for one or more splits from this hive this year.
- Due to the low bee population, is it possible that she is only laying to the degree that there is enough nurse and worker bees to keep the brood warm at night (this week the average temp at night has been the low 50's, but was low 40's last week and had the one night in the upper 30's a week ago).
- Should I take one or more frames of capped and/or uncapped brood from some of my other hives and put it into the hive and bring the number of nurse bees up and see what happens?
- I would have to get the frames from my other overwintered hives which are about 45 minutes away. What is the risk of moving the brood if the temp. is in the 70's when I am transporting them? If there aren't enough bees to keep the brood warm at night?
- Would I be better off moving brood and the bees on the frame with the brood?
- I thought about doing a combine with another hive (have 4 new packages at home, that arrived 2-3 weeks ago), but don't really think there are enough bees to make it worth while and I would really like to save this queen if possible, at least until I am able to rule out the low bee population as being the cause of the slow build up.
- Finally, it just occurred to me that perhaps I should be moving this hive to the other bee yard, where I have ready assess to other strong hives and brood, rather then bring the brood to them.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.


text: There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about Olympic hopefuls turning to crowd-funding websites to help offset higher costs of training and decreasing subsidies. However, I can't really find any skaters out there who are doing the same thing. It's mainly skiers, snowboarders, and speed skaters. There appears to be two major websites out there: RallyMe.com and GoFundMe.com. I did find one ice dancing team who has a page on GoFundMe.com. They are Plutowska and Gerber of Poland. Here is their page. http://www.gofundme.com/WorkHardDreamBig Anybody else see skaters out there on these sites? It would be a good way to have a direct impact on their training.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is taking legal action to stop an online auction of a vial alleged to contain the late president's blood.
"The Reagan Foundation is actively pursuing legal matters against both the seller and the auctioneer," spokeswoman Melissa Giller said Tuesday, according to AFP.
John Heubusch, the foundation's executive vice president, condemned the sale of the vial, which is claimed to date from the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan, by PFC Auctions an auction house in the British Channel Islands.
"If indeed this story is true, it's a craven act and we will use every legal means to stop its sale or purchase," Heubusch said.
PFC Auctions' web site describes the item as "a glass vial which was used to hold a sample of President Ronald Reagan's blood after an assassination attempt in 1981."
As of late Tuesday night on the East Coast, the top bid for the vial was $14,463.75. Bids will be taken until Thursday.
The vial has a label with Reagan's patient ID and surgeon's name at George Washington University Hospital. The winning bid also receives the accompanying lab slip.
The vial is a family heirloom of sorts, handed down from a lab worker at Bio Science Laboratories in Columbia, Maryland, who did the blood testing. The lab worker asked if she could keep the test tube and lab slip. "It has been in my family ever since," according to the statement from the vial holder on the auction site.
The holder originally contacted the Ronald Reagan Presidential National Library, which declined to accept the vial. The family might be interested in getting it back, the holder was told.
The vial holder, a former Army soldier, instead chose to go to an auction house. "I was a real fan of Reaganomics and felt that Pres. Reagan himself would rather see me sell it rather than donating it," she said on the auction site.

5 Simple Yet Effective Social Media Marketing Strategies For Twitter
June 6, 2012
Twitter is the second most popular social media platforms on the internet today with a whopping 140 million users as of March 2012. Although the percentage of adults in the US who are using Twitter only grew by 2% from May 2011 to May 2012, it is still developing in many ways.
According to Pew Internet and American Life Project, the number of tweets per day had increased and so did their ad revenue generation. Not only that but a lot of existing users spend more time engaging on the social network in addition to almost double the percentage of the youngest demographic (18-24 year olds) who have joined the club.
It may not be as extensive and feature-laden as Facebook but behind its simplicity is a great channel and tool that anyone can use and take advantage of. If you're still grappling with your social media marketing strategies for Twitter, here are 5 tips and tactics that will help you harness its power with ease and confidence.
#1 Posting and Spamming
It is very important to distinguish spamming from posting often. More often than not, many new marketers on this social media platform resort to sending one marketing message after another hoping to catch some leads or promote their products. Unfortunately, tweeps hate this and sooner or later they would either block you or report you as spam!
So what would Twitter users like to see in their feeds?
- Provide them with relevant and meaningful content and conversations.
How often should you tweet?
- This can vary but in general, there is no limit as to the number of @mentions and @replies that you can send. We all know that the more conversations we have on Twitter, the better it is for our social media marketing strategies. For regular tweets however, sending about 1-3 times per day would work. If you want to make things easier for you, you can use Hootsuite or SocialOomph to schedule your tweets in advance.
How do I promote my product or network marketing business?
- While you might be tempted to talk about your products or services, avoid making this the focal point of your account. Try to tweet about other relevant information about your products, company and industry or anything that is related to your business instead of just one topic. For instance, if your network marketing business is in the health industry, you can share about the latest studies, researches and news about how to take care of oneself. Don't overwhelm them with too much information though at one sitting.
#2 Reaching Out to Influential Tweeps
Since you'll be posting relevant and meaningful content on Twitter, which by the way should not be all about your blog posts, it is best to include that blogger's Twitter name in your tweet e.g. @kevinkennethlau. Doing this will not only catch their attention but will also contribute toward better engagement and connection. You may be surprised to find out that they would be more than willing to help you out in the future if you ask for a retweet from them.
#3 Automating Some of the Contents in Your Niche
As you build your network marketing blog's content and look for relevant posts to share on Twitter, you will get to know who the influential and authority bloggers are in your niche. Perhaps, you even find yourself tweeting their stuff more often since you know you can trust their content and it adds value to your Twitter followers.
The good news is you can actually automate this process by using Twitterfeed. Twitterfeed allows you to feed your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn with content that supports RSS feeds. It also lets you track their performance with real-time stats.
Just plug in the websites that you would like to get valuable content from and Twitterfeed will automatically look for their RSS feeds. Once a new blog has been posted on one of these sites, it will then send out a tweet to your followers without you having to do anything else.
#4 Automating ReTweets
Your network marketing blog would more likely than not have great posts that you would want to promote now and then. If you want to automate this process, you can get SocialOomph Professional to help you with this. Just make sure to add # tags when tweeting your posts to send out your tweets to specific lists e.g. #NetworkMarketing or #SocialMedia.
#5 Being Human
It is important to bear in mind that people are on Twitter to have conversations with a real person. Therefore, show your network marketing business' human side. Tell stories, showcase photos from live events or get feedback from your followers. Think of how you will connect with them if you were meeting them in real person and endeavor to do so on this social media platform.
You can also facilitate conversations by taking polls and asking questions. Create ways to get your followers to respond and engage with you so as to better market yourself.
These are just five simple yet effective social media marketing strategies for Twitter. If you want to learn more about How To Use Twitter To Attract More Leads And Profits For Your Business, you can join me on June 13, 2012 (6:00-9:00 PM PT) for this special Social Media Training Series. This event will also be broadcasted live on my Google+ page here.

I was recently in Monaco to indulge in one of my favourite things, namely watching insanely fast cars drive round a track. And when the Formula 1 circus comes to town, there's no better place to watch it than in Monte-Carlo, where the absurd speed and noise of these machines is in stark contrast to the perilously narrow and usually genteel streets of the Principality.
I'd taken an early morning flight from Oslo and was due to meet up with some friends travelling from London on a later flight. So, I landed at Nice airport at noon without a clue as to what I'd do to pass the five hours until the rest of the gang arrived. Of course, with my other passion being food I found myself in the baggage hall hesitantly telephoning the three Michelin-starred Le Louis XV restaurant in Monte-Carlo's Hôtel de Paris to enquire if they possibly, maybe, pretty please had a table for one available for lunch in an hour. The answer, to my amazement, was yes.
So after a pleasant bus journey from the airport (maybe not the most glamorous way to travel to Monaco, but it's cheap, scenic, and is often empty) I was dropped off, luggage and all, at Monte-Carlo's iconic Casino Square. As it was Grand Prix weekend, the main square was closed off, so I arrived at the Hôtel de Paris' back door where I was handed a laminated hotel day pass attached to one of those lanyards that seem to be the height of fashion in Monaco during the Grand Prix weekend. Navigating the back hallways of the hotel, I found myself in the main lobby where the entrance to the restaurant can be found.
Although it feels ancient, the restaurant is, surprisingly, 'only' 25 years old. In 1987 Alain Ducasse was tasked by Prince Rainier II of Monaco to turn Le Louis XV into the world's first hotel restaurant to be awarded three Michelin stars. Ducasse was given just four years to realise the prince's ambition and, remarkably, it was a feat he achieved just 33 months after opening the restaurant's doors. It has held this accolade ever since.
However, it's fair to say there are 3-Michelin-starred restaurants and then there's Le Louis XV. On entering the restaurant via the relatively unassuming reception area I challenge anyone not to be stunned into silence by the sight that beholds them; Ducasse's flagship restaurant is nothing short of a jaw-dropping marvel. A dining room of such lavishness and grandeur that it appears to have been transported straight from the Palace of Versailles itself.
A room some 10m high stood before me. I struggled to take it all in as I gazed up at the vast chandeliers, crystal candelabras, marble columns, intricately carved cherubs and ornate frescoes. Everything, but everything was splashed with a liberal layer of gold (even the cutlery and plates would turn out to be gold plated). The centrepiece of the room was an arrangement of fresh flowers that towered above my 1.86m frame. Below, my shoes rested on the thickest and plushest of carpets. The hands of the intricate clocks in the room were all set at the same position, and what's more they didn't move. At Louis XV time literally stands still. Anywhere else this overt ostentatiousness would be ridiculous, but in Monte-Carlo it seemed to make perfect sense. It was simply amazing.
|Gold-plated plates and cutlery and a mystery utensil
Overseeing the kitchens at Le Louis XV is Nice-born Executive Chef Franck Cerutti, a Ducasse lieutenant described by the maestro as "having olive oil running through his veins." He was the man tasked by Ducasse 25 years ago to create his vision of "middle class Provençal cooking." Working alongside Cerutti is Head Chef Dominique Lory, another Ducasse protégé, who moved to Le Louis XV from Ducasse's Plaza Athénée in October 2011.
The menu at Louis XV is described as "Riviera Cuisine" and features French/Italian Mediterranean dishes made with predominantly local ingredients. The menu is split into sections titled "The Vegetable Garden," "The Sea," "The Woods, The Rivers," and "The Farm." There's no distinction between starters and main courses, but a few dishes are offered in half portions, although you won't get much change out of €100 per dish.
|My dining companion
I didn't realise it at the time, but my lunch would coincide with the Formula 1 practice session. As the restaurant overlooks the track, I would have a ringside view of one of the greatest modern sporting spectacles. To say I was excited would have been more than an understatement. I think the exact words I used rhymed with "duck" and "bee."
And those quaint little words were repeated when the first Formula 1 car screamed past. I cannot possibly describe the noise; it's a visceral thing that shakes every fibre in your body and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and the fillings in your teeth rattle, and as I was without earplugs my ears were going to feel the full force of a Formula 1 engine at 18,000rpm. The food was going to have a tough time competing with this.
|How thoughtful – there was even a large screen to follow the on-track action
I didn't want anything too heavy for lunch but I did want to try a few different dishes, so I decided to go for the "Les Jardins de Provence" menu, a six-course menu comprising solely of local vegetables priced at €210. I had chosen to sit inside the main restaurant, as this after all is one of the main reasons one comes to Louis XV, however the terrace just outside was open and I was free to wander out between courses and watch the carbon fibre chariots roar past. The cars got so close I could have touched them were it not for the wire fence separating me and my lunch from an errant flying tyre. Given that the best grandstand tickets at the Monaco Grand Prix cost around €450, it dawned on me that lunch here might actually represent good value of sorts.
The waiters were clearly well practiced at competing with the roaring machines outside and timed their visits to the table with remarkable precision. Orders were taken and dishes brought out just as there was a lull in the noise. It was really quite remarkable how well orchestrated it was. Perhaps not too dissimilar to the balletic organisation of the teams competing just outside. Also, given the formality of the room (jackets required at all times, gents) the service was surprisingly warm and friendly.
To begin the meal some crisp flatbreads pressed with vegetables and black olives were brought to the table. Simple, yet elegant and tasty to boot.
Technically this is as close to flawlessly executed food as you're likely to get. Each individual element of a dish has been honed to perfection – take another look at how those asparagus spears have been trimmed for example. Yet for my tastes, the food seemed a little dated and underwhelmed as a result. Yes they may be as perfect an example of asparagus as you're likely to find, but they're still just spears of asparagus, is it too much to expect more in a 3 Michelin-star restaurant? Lunch at Louis XV is certainly not cheap. My solo lunch came to €385 including service and half a bottle of a rather delicious and complex 2007 Jacques Prieur Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (taken, incidentally, from the incredible onsite wine cellar of over half a million bottles of some the finest vintages).
However, with or without the Formula 1 circus in town, a meal at Louis XV is an exercise in absolute unadulterated luxury. At its core Ducasse's food stays true to its simple Provençal origins, yet here it's elevated to a level of execution beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals. However, the real star of Le Louis XV is the sheer scale and grandeur of the setting. If there were a Seven Wonders of the restaurant world, then Louis XV would certainly be near the top, and that alone is reason enough to make a pilgrimage to this anachronistic temple of pure opulence.

Kleiman refused to comment yesterday, but Collingwood football manager Neil Balme said club officials had to take showers after having the liquid thrown on them.
Balme said the emotion at the end of the game overwhelmed Kleiman after receiving further abuse from the Crows fan.
"At the end, the bloke has given him another pay and he just returned it," he said.
"He's not proud of the act, but the gesture was directed to this bloke, not the crowd . . . we'll write to the AFL asking them to take that into account."
The Magpies have experienced some heated moments at AAMI Stadium in recent times, notably an altercation after the siren involving Port's Kane Cornes last year.

Nature sent us a message today. Be ready for severe weather.
A middleweight sized weather system sailing through the region today has triggered scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. A few storms have met the NWS new 1″ hail sized criteria for issuance of severe thunderstorm warnings.
Drier air with dewpoints in the 40's is pushing into southern Minnesota this evening. That should end the storm threat tonight.
It's a reminder that we're in severe weather season now. May and June are the peak months for tornadoes in the Upper Midwest. That thought will be top of mind at our 2nd annual MPR Severe Weather Forum Wednesday evening at the MPR studios in St. Paul. You can still get tickets which are free, but you have to reserve them online.
I will join Cathy Wurzer, Craig Edwards, Dr. Mark Seeley, Paul Douglas and others as we talk about all the severe weather Minnesota has to offer.
We look forward to seeing you there tomorrow night.

411wrestling.com Interviews: Masato Kimura, Producer of The Evil Within
During Bethesda Softwork's Pre-E3 2013 event, we got the chance to sit down and speak with one of the producers and developers of the upcoming survival horror game release, The Evil Within. Masato Kimura is the lead producer on the project with the game's developer, Tango Gameworks. Kimura was in-person to go through the demo and to speak with us. In the game, you play as Detective Sebastian Castellanos, whose team responds to a mass murder scene at a mysterious mental hospital. Sebastian and his team are separated and things go badly as you are faced with malevolent creatures and insane, terrifying environments. The game was directed by original Resident Evil series creator, Shinji Mikami. During the event we spoke with Kimura-san via his interpreter, Ray Nakazato. Here is what he had to say about the project:
Jeffrey Harris: What can you tell us about the main character, Sebastian Castellanos, and his friends we meet at the beginning?
Masato Kimura: Sebastian Castellanos is a detective. His buddy, Joseph, is the one with the glasses. The girl there, she's called "Kid." Basically those three are involved in that main story. As you saw, it was a mass homicide at the hospital. The police force went there and they lost contact. So then Sebastian and his team went there. So that's how the game starts.
Jeffrey Harris: Is Sebastian trapped inside his mind?
Masato Kimura: Yeah, so whether it's the real world, Sebastian's mind, or someone else's mind – it's just imagination – it's scary because you don't understand what's happening really. So I guess he could be…
Jeffrey Harris: We saw a variety of creatures in the demo such as the spiderwoman, the brute with the chainsaw, the shrouded figure, and the creatures that resembled zombies. Will the game have anything akin to boss characters? Like is the chainsaw guy a boss? Is the spiderwoman a boss?
Masato Kimura: Yeah, they are strong and some of the scary characters or enemies. So I guess you could say they are bosses. But it's not like a traditional one with general enemies and a big boss. It's not going to be like that.
Jeffrey Harris: Of the creatures we saw today, who are you most fond of and who do you like the most?
Masato Kimura: There are a lot of creatures we showed today, so it's kind of difficult to pick one. But out of the creatures that we showed you today, I like the [spiderwoman, who does not yet have an official name]. The first time I saw that creature onscreen moving, I was really pleased. All the creatures are very, very unique and impressive.
Jeffrey Harris: Is there anything specific you wanted to try with this game in terms of environment or mechanics to truly revolutionize the survival horror genre in the approach to this project?
Masato Kimura: So of course we make those scenes look dirty and kind of gross. So that's one thing. It's dark and scary, so we make those kinds of scenes. In addition to that, the object is to try and make a scene that's really bright and clean but somehow it's really scary. We didn't show that today, but that's my goal.
Jeffrey Harris: Why do bad things always happen at mental hospitals and why do they make such a good setting for horror-themed stories?
Masato Kimura: *Laughs* That's really the reason we picked the hospital to start the game. Mental hospital has a – as we said, we are trying to achieve the fear or scary feeling because you don't know what's happening. But because you don't know what's happening and there are things you don't understand. And I think there are a lot of things in that kind of hospital that you don't understand what kind of treatment are done there and what kind of strange things are happening there. So there is a lot of imagination and things that are uncertain. It's hard to understand. So that's why we think that location is a good start.
Jeffrey Harris: We saw a couple different weapons we can use in the game. Are those the only types of weapons we will have at our disposal? Will there be anything like a shotgun weapon? Or will we only have a couple weapons and our wits to survive?
Masato Kimura: Yeah, we have more weapons. But we are not going to be putting in a weapon that's too strong so that the game becomes easy or so easy that it's not scary. The combat is strategic, so the combination of different tools that you to go through in the game is more important than having strong firearms.
Jeffrey Harris: So shotgun? Yes? No?
Masato Kimura: *Laughs* Yes.
The Evil Within is set to be released on Xbox 360, PS3, Windows PC, Xbox One, and PS4 next year.

Following are excerpts from letters The Sun and Daily Bulletin have printed dealing with alleged county government corruption.
Too hot to ignore
Re: "System is working," June 14.
Perhaps the opposite is true.
The Perspectives page gives insight into the ongoing attempts by certain Board of Supervisors members to create a perception about themselves which simply is not true.
It was the outside sources of the press and the public who raised attention to the massive problems within county government, not the checks and balances to which Mr. Ovitt gives credit.
The heat simply became too hot to ignore any longer.
Hesperia, June 2009
Pay to play
Along with his hiring of the (now) indicted Jim Erwin and the recent addition to his paid staff of the immigrant-bashing activist Joseph Turner, Neil Derry is infamous for being one of three poster children for what appears to be a county culture of Illinois-like "Pay to Play."
Along with Supervisors Ovitt and Biane, and a host of local GOP operatives and PACs, Derry paved the way for Upland's Colonies Partners to both game the taxpayers of this county for $102 million, and to fund the latest Republican-led version of our county's perennial culture of corruption to the tune of $400,000.
Upland, May 2009
Time to clear air
The stench from the Taj Majal is overpowering.
While the entire Board of Supervisors was "harrumphing" over San Bernardino County Assessor Bill Postmus' pathetic addiction to greed and drugs and revelations of Jim Erwin's prostitute-enhanced jewelry-buying trip to the East Coast aboard Jeff Burum's jet, at least two, Paul Biane and Gary Ovitt, were hiding, or at least not admitting at this opportune time, that they had four somewhat recent flights aboard the very same plane between them.
It's amazing what $102 million will do. Problem is, it was our $102 million.
Rialto, April 2009
Education valued
Mark Uffer, county administrative officer, appointed Jim Lindley as the chief of the county's Public Health Department. Much to his credit, Mr. Lindley, who has extensive experience as a manager in the welding industry, said he intends to pursue a degree in public health.
His appointment brings to mind the appointment of Adam Aleman as assistant to the county's property appraiser, even though he did not have an iota of appraising experience or a degree, which the job requirements specified. To his credit, Assessor Bill Postmus gave Mr. Aleman county money to complete his degree.
It is heartwarming to see our leaders so interested in helping department heads and assistants become qualified to manage their departments.
Yucaipa, September 2008
Enough talking
Re: "Ethics elusive in government," March 22.
Apparently working on the theory that the "best defense is a good offense," Jim Erwin cites Supervisor Neil Derry's campaign to reduce or eliminate certain job "perks" as the catalyst for his arrest.
No stranger to controversy and shady political practices, Jim Erwin has the audacity to claim that his arrest stems from political revenge! What a joke!
The problem with county politics in general is the notion that one needs to "grease the wheels."
Ontario, April 2009
Clean slate needed
After the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors' meeting on Jan. 22 to deal with the drug-addicted Assessor Bill Postmus, I think it's time to clean the slate.
Let's recall at the same time the three supervisors who are financially and personally connected with Bill Postmus - Paul Biane, Gary Ovitt and Brad Mitzelfelt.
BILL TUCK Jr.
Phelan, January 2009
Tangled web
Many thanks to Joe Nelson and Debbie Pfeiffer-
Trunnel for their article "Colonies give PACs $400k," April 6.
As we are blaming an apparent drug addict for much that went wrong, we also must scrutinize the enabling, co-dependent behavior of the entire Board of Supervisors.
The 2007-08 county grand jury report on the Assessor's Office clearly points to the participation of the entire board.
Only this kind of reporting, along with a citizenry concerned with democracy for the good of the whole, allows the larger Inland Empire civil society to pay attention and reshape our dirty public realm.
Crestline, April 2009
Nothing will change
Re: Jim Erwin as incoming supervisor Neil Derry's chief of staff. It first startled me, then surprised me, then chagrined me and now I am mad, so I just had to respond.
The supervisors have been pontificating for months on how they were going to bring back ethics to county government. Then they do the exact opposite and show us citizens that they don't care what we think!
To approve this contract with Jim Erwin is an insult to our intelligence.
Victorville, September 2008
See no evil
I am forced to question - between Assessor Bill Postmus stating his office received "a clean bill of health" in the grand jury's very critical report and Board of Supervisors Chairman Paul Biane's "see no evil and speak no evil" statement that he was surprised and disappointed to read the grand jury's report - which gentleman's nose has grown the longest over the past several weeks?
Redlands, August 2008
Insult to employees
As a county employee, I am embarrassed by the actions of Adam Aleman.
However, what is more disturbing is the fact that a 25-year-old without a college degree or significant real estate experience was able to obtain a $120,000-a-year job with the county Assessor's Office. This is an insult to all county employees, like me, who are working full time and attending college only to improve their careers.
Running Springs, July 2008
Biane couldn't see it
Why is it only The Sun sees and questions the illegal things that San Bernardino County Assessor Bill Postmus has done over the last few years?
County workers have admitted knowing about Postmus' dirty work, but they did nothing about it.
Paul Biane, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, expresses surprise and disappointment about Postmus' illegal activities. Bull!
Adelanto, July 2008
System broken
So, Bill Postmus and Paul Biane want to use taxpayers' money to defend their position that the Brown Act doesn't pertain to them (re: "Your $50,000 hush fund," by Frank Pine, senior managing editor, Freedom Friday, Feb. 2)? The system is broken, folks! It needs a change.
The two are public employees and need to be held accountable to the public.
Blue Jay, February 2007
Leave Postmus alone
What is the deal with The Sun's incessant criticism of Supervisor Bill Postmus?
The stalker-like behavior of the editorial board and its "news" coverage is over the top.
I haven't seen anything like it since Glenn Close was boiling Michael Douglas' rabbit in "Fatal Attraction."
Postmus' campaign for assessor was centered on improving customer service and improving efficiency through modernization. The voters clearly responded to this message.
San Bernardino, December 2006
Shame on board
How aboveboard is Supervisors Chairman Bill Postmus, who led an action to increase the lobbying firm's monthly payment from $9,000 to $16,000 and two months later received gifts from the lobbying firm involved in jail negotiations? How aboveboard is Supervisor Paul Biane, who had a $25,000 campaign loan co-guaranteed by Brett Granlund and six months later voted to award a lobbying contract to Platinum Advisors, Granlund's employer?
I have been a resident of the county for more than 45 years and a county employee for a good many years. I can honestly say that I have never seen a board behave as badly as the current board does. I am sure that former Supervisor Jerry Eaves must be sitting back with a big smile on his face. Shame on you, board members.
San Bernardino, April 2006
How ironic
I find it ironic that our "esteemed" county Supervisors Paul Biane and Bill Postmus take issue with their back-room, self-serving behavior being made public.
How dare these two individuals, who have been entrusted with being leaders, take issue with leaked information.
The taxpayers are their employers, and we are the ones who need to be outraged.
Mentone, July 2005

So, in hopes of finding a balance between technology and teaching, here are some ways to make sure there is a balance between teaching and technology.
Via NikolaosKourakos, Bonnie Bracey Sutton, Stephania Savva, Ph.D
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Give teachers control. That is the first suggestion. It is reasonable to give teachers autonomy to make responsible decisions in how to use the tools available to them and their students. Will they make mistakes? Yes, they will and responsible teachers will grow.
There's a perception that books are good, while TV is bad. Spend a day curled up with a book and you're an intellectual, but spend a day watching your favorite show and you become a couch potato…
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Books, chosen well, lead to conversation and questions. TV and screens can have negative effects on us and limit conversations. The research cited should inform parents and teachers. It is not that we would kick digital and visual tools to the curb, but use them more carefully, as we would books.
From www
Three strategies to make sure your content—not your technology—is your students' main focus.
Via Vicki Moro
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Each teacher is respnosible for teaching. They create a sound pedagogic setting and enter into healthy pedagogic relationships with students to teach. They make choices and guide each student in assuming responsiblity for their learning.
Reading has always been an invaluable skill, but in the digital era it will be even more important.
Via Ines Bieler, Yashy Tohsaku, Pantelis Chiotellis, Makena Conteh
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
The challenge is not to make digital tools the default process of teaching reading. My experience was children who struggled with reading needed continuous adult support even with a digital reading system. I discovered they tended to lack vocabulary and left to their own devices did not benefit.
"Imagine then how frightening the world would be if education was dictated to by edtech companies. Where pedagogy and educational policies and thus the futures of millions of students became shaped by and subservient to the interests of companies out to make money first. Oh, sorry that world is also very much here too. Or is it?"
Via EDTECH@UTRGV, juandoming, THE *OFFICIAL ANDREASCY*, Stephania Savva, Ph.D, Dan Kirsch
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
The late Ted Aoki said that teachers teach children with faces and stories. This is the pedagogy that counts. Pedagogy is a practical and ethical undertaking and responsiblity that happens in a particular time and place.

Barry Joseph interviews the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History's Rebecca Bray about the museum's innovative, interactive education lab, Q?rius.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Tools can be used in thoughtful ways to bring resources into classrooms that we would otherwise not be able to access. Thoughtful is essential.
The overall aims of this study are to explore 1) how beginning teachers integrate technology in their practice and 2) the connections between teachers' technology uses and their pre-service education programs.
Via THE *OFFICIAL ANDREASCY*, Jim Lerman, Ines Bieler, Yashy Tohsaku
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
It is not enough to simply say young pre-service and beginning teachers know how to use digital tools in their teaching. How they are prepared and supported to that is essential.

It is a bit of a tongue in cheek look at what this means.
From nicholasmeier
At a party of a friend recently I got into a discussion with someone about education and the use of computer technology. The person I was conversing with suggested that educational software could and should be developed to relieve teachers of the technical aspects of teaching. Why should each teacher have to figure out how…
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Computers add a technical level to teaching. The apps and software we would use are algorithmic in nature. Teaching is relational. The last paragraph sums up the post well. I think that teachers who teach well understand how to use tools well. They read and interpret the pedagogic lay-of-the-land and respond.
Yeah, I know I have been showing lots of cartoons about using technology. But I cannot help myself since I do laugh at how technologies have penetrated our (I include myself) lives. Taking a step back to laugh at ourselves as immoderate users of new technologies is, I believe, healthy. So enjoy this batch of…
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
I always enjoy a little humour.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Larry Cuban concluded his two part post about technology changing how teachers change. Change is not an easy phenomenon to research. He concludes that teachers (insiders) make incremental change and researchers and others (outsiders) look for fundamental change. He feels researchers and teachers have to honour both perspectives and stories to achieve a mutual understanding of what change might mean in teaching.
From medium
Chances are pretty good that you're telling stories for other people to read and enjoy. If that's true, then the bare bones truth is that you need to start thinking of yourself as not only an artist…

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Good teachers make good choices with their students about what is the best tool for a the job. Technology is about having wise and knowing conversations about those tools. Teachers learn about the tools so to inform those decisions and their conversations.

As a natural extension of wider trends towards greater privatisation and deregulation, plans are currently underway to make the UK a global centre for the so-called 'sharing economy'. Gary Hall examines the potential effects of this transformation on higher education. The data available on certain platforms could be used to develop an intermediary business model for education services. Higher education workers would have little choice but to sell their cheap and easy-to-access courses to whoever's prepared to pay for them in the 'alternative' education market.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
In education at any level, does uberfication mean we contract out teaching? Is that prudent? Hannah Arendt warned that it was unethical to simply leave children and youth to their own devices.
With logic you start out with certain ingredients just as in playing chess you start out with given pieces. But what are those pieces? In most real life situations the pieces are not given, we just assume they are there. We assume certain perceptions, certain concepts and certain boundaries. Lateral thinking is concerned not with playing with the existing pieces but with seeking to change those very pieces. Lateral thinking is concerned with the perception part of thinking. This is where we organise the external world into the pieces we can then 'process'.

Edward deBono's work makes a comeback. Not all thinking is creative. Some of it is making meaning of the world as we experience it.
Matt Manfredi's curator insight, May 14, 9:08 PM
Thanks Gus-A healthy human brain does not want to always be creative, it is designed to figure out how to do things or how to think about things and then 'locks' that automatic response or behaviour into a subconscious process so that your conscious brain can focus on other matters.

Pensar de forma diferente...mirar mas allá de lo evidente... conduce a soluciones inesperadas a viejos problemas.
Andrea Mejia Medina's curator insight, May 23, 7:38 PM
Lateral thinking is the art of looking at things sideways, and not choosing the obvious answer. When we think laterally, we look a little bit deeper into things. Lateral thinking makes new ideas posible If we are able to look at things differently, and make an unlikely connection, this will take us to a new way of problem solving, as suggested by O'Sullivan, 2008, "search as far outside the boundaries of convention as you can" (p.57). Lateral thinking leads us away from the rules and structure we normally encounter; this can be a mental block on our creativity.

Education innovators love to talk about adoption curves. It's a fancy way of looking at a pretty basic concept: the rate at which a given tool, model or approach saturates a market.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
This article raises an essential question about the tools we use in schools in teaching and learning. The refrigerator was accepted into our homes because homes could accomodate them. On the other hand, washing machines and dryers needed specialized water access and disposal and electrical outlets. I live in a house that we had to install wiring and plumbing. We did so by raising the house and putting a basement under it. The challenge in schools lies in the question "what are we able to accomodate i.e. skills-wise and structure wise?" As well, is the pace of change such that we will feel we are on a hamster wheel?
"The multibillion dollar educational technology market has created a sense of pressure on teachers to incorporate new tools in the classroom. The idea that a changing economy requires tech literacy for any level of post-secondary success is also pervasive. But schools that rush technology without the teaching pedagogy to support it are doing a disservice to students."
Via EDTECH@UTRGV, Lynnette Van Dyke
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
This artilce delivers an essential message. When students engage in their learning, it means teaching is drawing them in somehow. I discovered what worked one day did not always work the next and I adjusted to meet new needs.
Have the 41 exemplary teachers in integrating technology into daily lessons that I observed and interviewed in Silicon Valley in 2016 changed their practice as a result of using new devices and software? Straightforward as the question sounds, it is tricky to answer. Why? In a society geared to constant change as America is, the…
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Larry Cuban presents a critique on technology and how teacherers use it in classrooms in Silicon Valley. He sets the table for his next post by reviewing what change has occurred and how it may have impacted and benefited teachers. He also points out that there are different expectations for digital tools and their use depending on roles i.e. teachers, admin, parents, etc. As well, the dumping of the factory model of school has not been so easy. Bill Pinar argued in 2012 that digital tools have exacerbated the factory model.

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night. I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast. I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels ~ I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today. You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you. I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled. I think you knew ~
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over ~ I smile and watch you yawning,
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ~ then come home to be with me.

Mom had the surgery on her right hand done last Thursday, the 13th. It went very well and she is experiencing less pain every day! She says she has two new hands now, but, really, they both look the same as they always did to me!
The stitches will come out by the 27th and she'll be up and running normally! I can't wait. Since the surgeries, she's been on "light duty" at work and unable to throw routes. I've been pretty bored.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THOSE FLYERS????????? Mom has been a fan for 40+ years. She's flying high on the Flyer's success!!
Mom had surgery on her left hand 4/15/10, and it was very successful! All the pain and tingling is GONE!
The right hand is scheduled to be done on 5/13/10, and we expect things to go well then, too.
Joel is out of the hospital and doing fine. Thank goodness...he's my buddy!
We are all doing ok and trying to be around at least a few times a week for now.
Thank you all for your kindness.
Love ya!

This story from Australia is fascinating.
A lesbian couple wanted to have a child, so they used IVF. By mistake, and contrary to the women's verbally expressed wishes, but not contrary to documents they had signed, two embryos (as in, four or maybe eight cells after conception) were inserted, rather than one. The chances of an embryo implanting are lowish, so just inserting two embryos doesn't entail having twins. However the chances of having twins are substantially increased, to about 1 in 5.
The women had twin girls. They rejected using techniques such as selective reduction (usually used to reduce quins or quads or triplets to just twins), and they rejected putting one of the babies up for adoption. They also rejected terminating the pregnancy altogether, and trying again, which they could have done – they still have two embryos in storage.
The couple is suing the doctor concerned, for the costs of raising one of the twins.
But it seems they are also suffering some emotional distress.
THE partner of a lesbian mother who bore twins following a botched IVF procedure yesterday told a Canberra court how her partner lost the ability to love.
The woman, whose name has been suppressed, said her partner "shut down" and became emotionally unavailable after gynaecologist and obstetrician Sydney Robert Armellin mistakenly implanted two embryos instead of one.
Sobbing, the woman described her partner as "a generous and loving person" prior to the 2003 procedure.
"I find now that she doesn't have the same ability to love that she used to and the same capacity to embrace difficulties or issues as a couple or a team," she told the ACT Supreme Court.
Earlier in the week, the mother told the court the couple underwent counselling to cope with the strain on their relationship.
I need to engage in a bit of disclosure. Our children were born through fertility treatment, and as it turns out, at the time our elder daughter was conceived we were living in Canberra, and the doctor at the centre of this case is the doctor who helped us to conceive her. And, we have twins. They are identical twins, so that's just random good fortune, rather than anything to do with the drugs or our treatment. Our twins were conceived back here in New Zealand. Oh, and aside from a few low-level drugs available on prescription from GPs, we paid for all our treatment ourselves.
I don't know anything about the legal ins and outs of this case, 'though as an uneducated (legally, that is) non-lawyer, it does seem to me that something that is written down (two embryos) carries more weight than a verbal communication (one embryo).
What I do know about is the sheer turmoil of becoming a parent. Over night, your world changes, completely. Suddenly, you, and you alone, are completely responsible for a tiny, helpless being. Mothers (predictably) shift their focus away from their partner, and direct all their energies towards the baby. Equally predictably, the partner, whether that partner is a daddy, or a second mummy, feels left out, and neglected. You end up renegotiating your entire relationship.
Add to that the physical strain of breastfeeding. It's true that virtually all women can breastfeed. But it turns out that some women do it much more easily than others. Some women can run a business, keep the house going, chase around after a toddler, go to the gym, and still have enough physical resources to be able produce milk for their babies. Other women can produce enough milk, but they are permanently tired, and have no energy for anything other than feeding the baby. Physiology can, and does, differ. (This is why I sometimes get upset with the "Breast is best" police. I agree, but…. However, that's a story for another day. And again by way of disclosure, I was able to breastfeed my elder daughter, very successfully, but with great effort, but not my twins.)
Becoming a parent is an incredibly difficult task. Many relationships come to grief over it. I have taken to advising very new parents, and parents to be, that becoming a parent is one of the most difficult things they will ever do, and if they are finding it hard, then that's completely normal. There are remarkable joys associated with being a parent, but believe me, they really aren't in the forefront of your mind when yet again you are getting up to feed a baby at 2am.
We have done some difficult things over the years: we have survived infertility, and two PhDs – both known marriage breakers, and we have encountered various other problems. But of all these hurdles, becoming parents was the hardest, in terms of our relationship. These women clearly encountered considerable difficulties in becoming parents. But those difficulties aren't unique to having twins, or even to having twins when you really just want one little baby. We experienced them when our elder daughter was born, and many, many, many parents experience them.
So sue away, ladies, but don't base your claim on the idea that becoming a parent of twins is difficult. Becoming a parent is difficult, full stop. (Period, for American readers.)

On the series where the Giants eventually kicked the field goal to make to score at the time 24-14, why did the Giants attempt to throw the ball on all three str8 plays?
If I remember correctly, we were just inside the 10 or 15 yard line and Eli got sacked on the 2nd down play pushing us beyond the 20 yard line. Then on 3rd down Eli actually scrambled for positive yardage back to the 20, and then we kicked the field goal.
I am perfectly fine with kicking the field goal as it put us up by two scores and took pressure off of the defense. What upsets me is that this was the time to run the ball to further kill the clock. There was still approximately 5-6 minutes left to play?
I know i have complained that our OC is too predictable because I feel that he is. Although this game he called a balanced Run/Pass game, sometimes you should use the clock to your advantage.
My point is that Dallas was getting momentum and the Giants were going 3 and out on consecutive series. We could have burned another minute off of the clock and still kicked the field goal. Don't give them enough time to drive, score, hold our offense, get the ball again and score again.
I know he tries to take what the defense gives you but there is a time to run and a there is a time to pass. There is a time to be aggressive and a time to be conservative.I still dont agree with alot of the play selection.
Geez, i know this post sounds like I'm complaining about passing when we should be running and other posts I may complain about the opposite. Honestly, the general issue is not just passing or running but not being predictable.
However, in this instance i feel it was the right time to be conservative and run the clock down and kick the field goal.
Yesterday, with the exception of this particular series, the OC play calling was good.
Great utilization of the FB with the flare passes!
Reminds me almost of Rob Carpenter, back in the day.

Dellen Millard stood tall and emotionless in a jammed-packed Hamilton court Wednesday morning as he was formally charged with the first-degree murder of Ontario father Tim Bosma.
Hamilton Police say Tim Bosma was murdered and his body was burned "beyond recognition" at a location in the Kitchener-Waterloo region.
Hamilton Police say that missing Anacaster, Ont. father Tim Bosma has been found dead. Police said the remains of Bosma were found burned.
Police have made several breaks in the case of missing Hamilton father, Tim Bosma, who hasn't been since in a week since he went on a test drive with two men interested in buying his truck.
The mother of a Hamilton man who has been missing since Monday night made an emotional Mother's Day plea for the safe return of her son, according to the CBC.
A police search found Tim Bosma's cellphone Thursday, leading investigators to an unidentified Toronto man who earlier took the two suspects for a test drive of his own
Police have traced a number that called Bosma's cellphone earlier that evening to a phone registered originally in the Toronto area under a bogus name
The wife of a Hamilton man missing since Monday night made a tearful appeal Thursday for his return, urging the public for help to bring Timothy Bosma back to his family.
Police say Timothy Bosma, 32, was trying to sell his Dodge pickup truck online and went on a drive Monday night with two men he said were from the Toronto area

Bosses from some of Britain's major firms today backed Boris Johnson to win a second term as London Mayor.
Among the business leaders to support the Tory candidate are those running Odeon and UCI Cinemas, pub chain JD Wetherspoon, advertising giant WPP and the restaurant empire which includes The Ivy and J Sheekey.
Mr Johnson was praised for his ability to drive a hard bargain for London and push his plans through — whereas rival Ken Livingstone was painted as yesterday's man and criticised for wasteful spending while in office.
Former Marks and Spencer chief Sir Stuart Rose said: "Boris has done a pretty good job. He has a robust plan and I'm supportive. He's a man who gets to the point and gets things done."
Richard Caring, whose restaurant empire includes The Ivy and J Sheekey, said: "Ken is a perfectly decent man but he's too much of an old-school politician, Ken's all about Ken, Boris is all about London. As a restaurateur, I liked it that Boris came out against Westminster council on the parking issue."
JD Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin added: "When I first moved to London, Ken was in charge and he opened this huge library near where I lived in Wood Green. It was my first taste of his extravagance and that's always stuck with me. So I'm backing Boris — I hope he'll spend money more wisely than Ken has done."
Charlie Mullins, founder of Pimlico Plumbers, agreed: "It comes down to a race between a man who left London's finances in a mess and is outlandishly promising to cut the price of practically everything, versus a politician with a credible and detailed plan for growing London's economy." The comments follow a survey that found bosses overwhelmingly back Mr Johnson as the best man to handle the capital's economy at a time of double-dip recession.
Some 63 per cent chose the Mayor in the ComRes poll for LondonLovesBusiness.com, while nine per cent backed Mr Livingstone and two per cent opted for Liberal Democrat Brian Paddick.
Several stressed the importance of continuity amid turmoil in the eurozone and growth fears. Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of advertising giant WPP, said: "My concern is giving political leaders enough time. Chopping and changing doesn't make sense, so on balance I'd give Boris another term to let him carry out his plans."
Rupert Gavin, the boss of Odeon and UCI Cinemas, agreed: "London needs continuity and four years is too short a period to be deciding to junk Boris's approach in favour of going back to Ken's." Helena Morrissey, chief executive of Newton Investment Management, said: "Boris is one of the few politicians who has stood up for the City in recent years and gets it that without a strong financial centre we have a weaker economy. You can't redistribute wealth if none is created."
Michael Spencer, the boss of broker Icap and a former Tory party treasurer, said: "Boris has proved himself to be an excellent Mayor in demanding circumstances and his support for the City and our financial services industry has been particularly welcome."

If ever a test had lived up to its hype it was this one; a rollercoaster of a thing described variously as the "greatest ever played" and the "match made in heaven".
Wallabies skipper John Eales called it the most amazing game of his career and he was on the losing side.
The scene of battle was almost as important as the test itself. It was the first match to be held in what was then called Stadium Australia, the venue for the then recent and very successful Olympic Games.
Crammed into the stadium were almost 110,000 people, a crowd which remains a world record for an attendance at a rugby test.
They certainly got their money's worth, and early.
Tana Umaga scored the first try after only 90 seconds, an act followed by two more from Pita Alatini and Christian Cullen, the All Blacks racing out to an incredible 21-0 lead after only five minutes.
An Andrew Mehrtens penalty made it 24-0 with nine minutes gone, and back came Australia, then the world champions, to somehow level the score 24-24 after 31 minutes.
All Blacks captain Todd Blackadder revealed this week that George Gregan, him of the famous "four more years, boys" World Cup sledge, had plenty to say once Australia drew level.
"George Gregan, when they had just scored their third try before halftime, turned to me and said '24-all, Toddy, we're back'."
Blackadder added: "We trained at Manly during the week and Nathan Grey, the Waratahs midfielder, was watching us. He didn't think we could see him. We kicked everything away at training but on the night we ran everything - it seemed to pay off."
A Stirling Mortlock penalty after the break gave the Wallabies the lead for the first time, with the All Blacks responding through a try from Justin Marshall.
More penalties were traded and then Australia struck what looked like the killer blow - replacement hooker Jeremy Paul crossing in the corner with seven minutes to go to give his side a 35-34 lead before Jonah Lomu scored an incredible last-gasp try for the victory when tip-toeing down the left touchline.
Umaga, who played on the right wing that night, was asked this week if the match was the most memorable he had played in. "It was definitely one of the most exciting," he said. "The way we started, things just seemed to fall into place. We took the opportunities and for the first 20 minutes everybody thought it was going to be a rout and then all of a sudden for the next 20 minutes the Wallabies got into their groove and took their opportunities.
"We got the win in the end but we needed a try from the big guy to get us over the line."
The Wallabies' fightback mirrored that of France in the infamous World Cup semifinal defeat of a year earlier at Twickenham, however, both Blackadder and Umaga denied their thoughts went back to that afternoon.
"We had a new squad then and players had dealt with that and put that behind them. We were pretty determined not to let that happen to us again," Umaga said.
Blackadder said of his feelings at halftime: "It felt like the work we had put in and the effort they had to make to catch up to us would get to them in the end. We were confident we could do it."
All Blacks 39 (Tana Umaga, Pita Alatini, Christian Cullen, Justin Marshall, Jonah Lomu tries; Andrew Mehrtens 4 cons, 2 pens.)
Wallabies 35 (Stirling Mortlock 2, Chris Latham, Joe Roff, Jeremy Paul; Mortlock 2 cons, 2 pens). HT: 24-24.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wasn't bad, wasn't as good as Newts Civil War rewrites. I guess I know a little more about WW2, so it is less plausible to me that teensy little Germany (pop 80.6 mil) could take on and defeat the US (pop 130 mil) and the USSR (pop 190 mil). And the Jerry "superweapons"...well it very much felt like it was written by a second rate sci-fi author and a second rate men's adventure writer rather than two men with Doctorates in history. Well, it's still better than Harry Turtledove
They really should have spent a little more time researching the Jerry weapons, they botched both the panzershreck and the MP 40, but I have come to realize that apparently no one knows more about small arms than I do.
Oh and it's a series. ends on a cliffhanger, next one isn't written yet. Feh.
