Doncaster 1-0 Colchester
- From the section Football
Doncaster moved level with League One leaders Tranmere with victory over Colchester, a result which condemned the U's to a club record-equalling eighth successive league defeat.
Josh Thompson thought he had headed the visitors ahead, but an infringement saw the referee disallow the goal.
With on-loan Emile Sinclair making his Rovers debut, Iain Hume forced visiting keeper Mark Cousins into a fine save.
And late on David Cotterill curled into the far corner to win it for the hosts.
Doncaster, who had a game in hand on promotion rivals Tranmere and Sheffield United prior to the match, took advantage of both teams' participation in the FA Cup to move three points above the Blades and behind the Merseyside club only on goal difference.
Doncaster Rovers manager Dean Saunders told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"Last week's game emotionally and physically took it's toll on the players and you could see that today we were a yard short.
"That's four games without the opposition having even half a chance against us, without scoring a goal they've not had a half chance against us, only long range shots.
"That's the Preston game, Sheffield United, who scored from a penalty and a goal-mouth scramble and Oldham they didn't get a chance either.
"So we're defending great and when we don't string it together like today we kept a clean sheet and stayed in the game."
Colchester United manager Joe Dunne told BBC Essex:
"We were magnificent. I thought we were the better team. We controlled the ball, I though we got into great positions and tested their back four.
"We were very good. I don't think we deserved to lose the game. Any real football person would say that.
"The players should be very proud of themselves. That's a great performance to take into next week.
"For once I can't stand here and say it's the same stupid mistakes because it wasn't. It (David Cotterill's goal) was a class finish."

NASA uses rubber ducks to fight global warming
Rubber ducks are the latest weapons in the fight against global warming, according to NASA.
NASA scientists have dropped 90 of the ducks into holes in the Jakobshavn glacier - Greenland's fastest moving glacier - in a bid to understand why glaciers speed up in the summer in their march to the sea.
The toys have been labelled "science experiment" and "reward" in three languages, and carry an email address.
The ducks, if found by someone who emails NASA about their discovery, could tell scientists how melting water moves through ice, Alberto Behar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said.
"It's a beautiful place to visit. You can watch these icebergs continuously march across and fall into the ocean," Mr Behar said.
"Right now it's not understood what causes the glaciers themselves to surge in the summer."
That's where the rubber ducks come in, along with a probe about the size of a football loaded with a GPS transmitter and instruments that can tell much about the glacier's innards.
Mr Behar said he hoped a fisherman or hunter might find a duck or the probe but so far nothing had turned up.
"We haven't heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us an email that they have found it," he said.
"These are places that are quite remote so there aren't people walking around."
The Jakobshavn Glacier is very likely the source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912 and researchers focus on it because it discharges nearly 7 per cent of all the ice coming off Greenland.
As the planet warms, its melting ice sheet could make oceans rise this century.

Ju Jin Mo to Return to Film with ′Friend 2′
Ju Jin Mo will be returning to the big screen with director Kwak Kyung Taek.
According to the actor′s agency Fantagio on March 27, Ju Jin Mo has confirmed he will be appearing in Friend 2. He will be appearing as Lee Joon Seok (Yoo Oh Sung)′s father Lee Chul Ju, who was a charismatic man of the town in the 1960s.
Ju Jin Mo commented, "I′m happy I′ll be joining the sequel to Friend. Friend 2 isn′t a film about mere bullies; it contains characters with their own pathos. It′s my first time working with director Kwak Kyung Taek in six years. I′ll work hard to show what being manly is all about on screen, so you can look forward to it."
Friend 2 is set in both 1963 and 2013, and is about men who represent each period. Yoo Oh Sung, the lead of the first film, and Kim Woo Bin have been confirmed for the film. It will start filming in April.

Getting started with library research | Overview of renewable or sustainable energy | Recommended engineering databases | Recommended environmental databases | Government resources | Statistical resources
This guide provides a starting point to locate resources used to search the topic sustainable or renewable energy. Alternative energy is a slightly different topic, and although there is some cross-over in regards to renewable/sustainable energy, alternative energy is not specifically covered in this guide. For energy resources in general, see the Chemistry, Physics, or one of the engineering guides like Electrical Engineering or Nuclear Engineering.
This guide follows the definition of renewable/sustainable energy as defined by The Encyclopedia of the Earth: "… energy sources are those that are naturally available and replenished. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro (water), geothermal, Tidal power or ocean wave energy, and biomass."
These each cover all types of energy resources, but each also includes several sections on renewable/sustainable energy forms.

How new is this pistol?
For a moment, I'll assume that it's brand new. If that's the case, look closely at the trigger safety, the part that protrudes from the front of the trigger and is pushed back to allow you to move the trigger back. On some new Glocks, I have seen what a factory Glock Armorer called "flash molding", which is the presence of excess plastic molding on the sides of the trigger safety. That was present in one pistol that was exhibiting a strange "jerky" trigger pull that I saw, and the solution was to very carefully file it flat. This "flash" will appear as two ovals (not perfectly oval, more like Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval), one on each side of the trigger safety. If it's there, and if you can feel it catching the trigger, you can file it flat (with very fine files), and clean it up with fine sandpaper.
Another thing I would check is the fit of the connector in the trigger mechanism housing. I've seen sticking here on a couple of different (non-Glock) connectors. In order to see it clearly, you need to detail strip the bottom half of the pistol, and disconnect the trigger spring so that you can remove and examine the connector and the trigger mechanism housing closely. The connector should stick out from the trigger housing at the top (or rear), it's designed to spring in and out. If you push it in and out and it doesn't catch, it's fine. If it does catch, my solution has been to remove the connector and carefully file the edge of the trigger mechanism housing where the connector is touching it. Once that's done and the connector move freely, the trigger feel should improve.

"In God We Trust" Reaffirmed as National Motto
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed, 396-9, a concurrent resolution reaffirming In God We Trust as the national motto.
The resolution was introduced by Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), co-chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus. It is a concurrent resolution because the Senate already passed a similar resolution in 2006 for the 50th anniversary of In God We Trust as the nation's motto. Resolutions do not carry the force of law and do not require the president's signature.

Garcia: He is a good fighter but I am a true champion / Herrera: I thought I won the fight
After his majority decision win over Mauricio Herrera, unified super lightweight champion Danny "Swift" Garcia spoke with SHOWTIME Sports ringside reporter Jim Gray, saying, "He is a crafty veteran and I know every time I step in the ring, every fighter wants what I have. So I expect them to bring everything. I had to make adjustments and I had to push the fight. He is a good fighter but I am a true champion. I had to make adjustments and pull it out. I needed to find my comfort zone but once I adjusted and got him on the ropes I knew I was doing good. I had to keep my composure and use my power shots. He came to fight and he did and it was a great fight."
When asked if he felt he did enough to win the close decision, Garcia said, "I wanted to knock him out in front of my fans but he was tough. I know nothing is going to be easy from this point on for the rest of my career. I thought I won the fight. The Puerto Rican fans here support me. I love them."
Regarding a potential move up in weight, Garcia told Gray, "I think making 140 pounds might have affected my performance a little bit. I need to sit with my camp and see if I should go up to 147 and start a new journey. It's been getting a little hard so maybe I need to think about moving up."
After the fight, Herrera told media that he felt he won. "I thought I was fine-tuned," he said. "I came perfectly prepared for this fight. I was trying to push the fight. I came to box but he wasn't making a fight so I am the one that had to make the fight. I was the one putting the pressure on to make the fight. I feel like I won the fight. I thought I finished strong at the end too. I thought I won the fight."

GNU Street Series
Is the GNU "Wax Infused Base" some kind of sintered hybrid base? Based on their website, it says "new wax is being exposed at the exact rate you ride." So my question is, does it need to be waxed as often as other bases or not at all?
Also, which has more flex... skate banana or GNU SS? Thanks
Most definitely....your wax works with your base. All decent snowboard manufacturers have sintered bases...the difference is in the molecular weight. You'll see numbers like 3600, 9700, etc. Those numbers represent molecular weight. The heavier the molecular weight of the base is, the more it will absorb the wax as the molecules are bigger creating more space between them allowing more wax to "infuse" into the base; therefore creating a better glide. Home waxing is very easy and I encourage you to wax as often as you can as it will end up being alot cheaper for ya. If you know how to iron clothes...you'll be able to wax a board.
As far as flex is concerned i would say that the GNU SS has a touch more flex to it. Any particular reason why you ask?

Viking Tactics Carbine 1.5 Apr 29-May 1 Southern Exposure, Kathleen Fl
24 experienced shooters, many with prior time in Viking Tactics courses with the usual mix of diverse backgrounds. Both active military and law enforcement, professionals representing the firearms, medical, engineering, and an embassy security rep.
Kyle and his assistant Dan presented our group with three days of progressively challenging core skills to raise each students ability to run and diagnose carbine performance in less than casual circumstances.
By the close of TD1, we went through all of the fundamentals covered in basic carbine operators courses starting with confirming zero at 50 and 100, then running a series of firing drills from the basic positions, prone, squat, kneeling, sitting and offhand. This also gave us aggregate groups which we diagnosed and made accuracy adjustments if necessary. We ended the day starting with multiple targets.
TD2 picked up with more Multiple target drills. Then Kyle gave us a very good diagnostic presentation along with a follow up practex named 3 little kittens. This is clearning every type of malfunction under the pressure of motivational dialog and adjacent gun fire from either Kyle or Dan. In the afternoon we started shooting on the move in three directions, forward, lateral left and right respectivly. We ran turning drills online and from stacking.
Next we ran pistol transitions which was pistol alone, with rifle dry then downloading magazines and transitioning. We ended the day running the Zig Zag drill (you tube) by splitting the class in two groups on two seperate ranges. We ran for informal times which pushed us to bring together everything we have done up to that point.
TD 3 started transitioning our rifles from strong to weak side so that our ability to fire competently from either side was a core skill for every student that completes this class. This was an excellent time to work the kinks out of any issues you may have with your particular sling in order to avoid being tied up at the wrong time.
From here we moved to the several specialty shooting positions that are highlighted in his book Green Eyes and Black Rifles only you are the one upside down instead of in a reading chair. We learned how to transition in and out of these positions more effectively and gain range experience using them. This helps understand your individual issues with your own body and equipment and effectively getting hits at the 100 yard mark. We ran Kyle's 9 Hole drill (you tube) and spent time challenging ourselves using the awkward ports that are placed to round out our skills. Many of us feel that attending this class prepares a shooter well for shooting well outside of the comfort zone.
Then we ran a gauntlet where 6 barricades were placed across 6 target arrays presenting us with 12 positions to practive transitioning from a supported, kneeling, barricade on both strong and support sides. If you took too long to get down correctly and score a hit on a 6" steel lollipop and the guy comin gbehind you was delayed for you, you were tapped out. This was a drill moving across open spaces and transitioning to alternate shooting positions correctly. If you think this is easy, you came from Kyle's old address. All the rest of us learned the love of oxygen.
We ended our last day running the Highsmith drill (you tube) as a class competition, for time which between this drill and the one described earlier we learned the meaning of his latest round of T Shirts "KNEES".
I have a slew of class photos and a couple of videos taken from a pair of shooting glasses with a camera in them and I will place them up here tomorrow. I am out of time for this afternoon but I want to say that each of us in the class, all have the utmost respect for Kyle and Dan as instructors. Patient, low key, great sense of humor, informative and a depth of knowledge to exlain the reasoning behind many years of hard lessons learned that have aggretated into the program of instruction that takes the basic carbine or carbine qualification courses to the next level.
If you are able to find a way to make it into one of the courses with time and schedule, it is a fast and enjoyable 3 days.
Southern Exposure just gets better every time I visit there. The ranges are manicured grass. There is a new shoot house on the property along with the 200 yard rifle, and couple of pistol bays. Irv and Wafta are always excellent stewards and hosts and the culture there is tight. When you attend classes thee, you become part of an extended family which I enjoy visiting each time I am there. It is three days and nights of uninterupted, focused and well thought out training. A large percentage of attendees are all regulars who all know each other and this class was no exception.
I am greatful to have attended. More later...
Great AAR, Rick, thanks for making the time to write it up.

Did the course with Kyle and Dan a couple of years ago...got into more bizarre shooting positions than I thought possible. Excellent training by VERY knowledgeable people.
Something else that I thought about after finishing yesterdays note on the class. There was another aspect to the 3 days that I briefly touched on, the 23 other guys who were a part of this class. Just like life itself, you find yourself thrown into a mix of people who you do not really know, or perhaps know casually from 'seeing them around'. But everyone shares a common interest.
As Kyle and Dan bring the class through a progression in the cirriculum, they also group students as buddies and partners. So while we are all shooting as individuals, you begin looking after your partners and other classmates. Kyle promotes this and more than one time, I received some great counseling from the guys beside or behind me on a drill. We all hear the same instruction and you THINK you are executing it the best way possible. Then your buddy behind you says hey, you might try this, as a suggestion that ended up helping alot.
I wont call out individuals, but I will say after the three days of hard shooting, as a group, we all end up a close knit group.
Camaraderie; Priceless.

Hi Rick
Thanks for the AAR. The range is looking good as the grass starts to grown in again as summer is here. Thanks to Mike E. for the barricades, he did a great job as usual. Southern Exposure is special as the friendship made here are long lasting and students are really part of the extended family
This was Kyle's and Dan's (Viking Tactics) third trip to Southern Exposure and we will be having him back twice a year in the future.. Still to come his famous "Streetfighter" class. The carbine 1.5 is a great class for those schooled in the fundamentals as these 24 students were, Viking Tactics takes carbine and handgun classes to a new meaning of "advanced" and I urge all to get in these classes where ever they are taught. Kyle and Dan are great instructors who explain and critique each shooter so they will be better by the end of the class.
My thanks to Kyle and Dan for a great class. Students come to Southern because of the quality of instructors who teach here not because of the range. In my informal poll of the students everyone praised the class highly, that says it all.
be safe irv

It is 'much'. I tell my two grandsons who got my first two quilts that they are the best because I learned so much making them! And I truly believe that.
However, in terms of true skill, they aren't great, but they are LOVED and fraying after 5 years. That's another thing that makes them the best!

At some point, Sufjan Stevens turned into a bona fide neon cult leader. Last night at the magical forest that is the Prospect Park Bandshell, he held a rally in the form of a concert, and the rain-soaked audience willfully held on to his every word. The formerly-folk-but-now-electro singer entranced the crowded venue with his proclamations of cosmic togetherness ("This song doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the world."), interesting dance moves (Think of a very drunk person trying to Dougie.) and, of course, some glow-y and idiosyncratic costumes. Stevens called it his "space prom," but it was more like a rave, full of blasting glitch-pop mixed in with some awkwardly timed yet well-received folk from his past.
The setlist favored Stevens' most recent release, the change-of-pace Age Of Adz. In fact, of the 14-song set, nine were from that album. The songs translated easily to the live setting, despite the ridiculously complex compositions that Stevens has imposed on his band. Some of the highlights from those nine songs were "Now That I'm Older," which stands out simply because Stevens forgot an entire verse and sheepishly apologized for it after the song; "I Want To Be Well," the first song to get the crowd going, as he went into the now iconic "I'm not fucking around!" segment; and the gorgeous album opener, "Futile Devices," which was the only Age Of Adz song to showcase Stevens' power as a solo artist, as he stepped up to the front of the stage with just an acoustic guitar.
The more interesting parts of the pre-encore set were the songs that were derived from other releases. Wisely, Stevens chose to start the set with the majestic "Seven Swans," which reached possible early-peak status when his costume gained some archangel-like wings. The other non-Adz song was "Enchanting Ghost," from last year's excellent All Delighted People EP, a beautiful acoustic song that made one girl in the audience standing near me break down in tears.
"Impossible Soul," the epic closer from Age Of Adz, deserves its own paragraph. A 25-minute epic of daunting proportions, the onstage collective nailed it. Featuring many costume changes and even a set change, it was an interesting endeavor—and that was before the last part. As the song passed its awkward Auto-Tuned portion (which Stevens committed to by wearing a robot helmet that looked like a cocoon) and moved into its new-wave pop ("Boy, we can do much more together!"), beach balls were thrown into the crowd, giant inflatable tube men sprung up and (my personal favorite) Stevens appeared as a Christmas tree piñata. It was the type of ridiculousness that one would have never associated with Sufjan Stevens, folk artist, but he pulled it off with his sincerity and self-awareness.
The encore was more traditional, as the man came out to play "Concerning The UFO" from Illinois on the piano, before segueing into the surprising yet very welcomed "Dress Looks Nice On You" from Seven Swans. Then came the epic finale, the song everyone knows and (judging by the reaction) loves, "Chicago." As if the song itself weren't epic enough (it is), this version came with room-sized beach balls being added to the mess in the crowd, and what a beautiful mess it was. As the soaked crowd fought the balls and their own emotions, Stevens climbed on top of the piano, a leader surveying his people, leading them in one last chant of "Ohhhhh" as the rain continued to beat down on them. Wet, exhausted, beat up, with possible ball-induced concussions, we all sang along.

Barring an upset Friday against Washington (12:30 p.m., FOX), the Cougars will lose for the 39th time in 48 tries since Tuel arrived in Pullman as a rail-thin, baby-faced freshman in 2009. Tuel is 3-22 as a starter.
Through all the losses and all the interviews, Tuel has stood tall. Teammates never get thrown under the bus. A positive take is offered whenever possible.
"Great teammate, a great leader," summed up former WSU quarterback Marshall Lobbestael.
Tuel has compiled some of the glossiest passing numbers in the history of a school with a proud tradition of elite quarterbacks, but Tuel's numbers would have been much better if not for a string of injuries. He asks you to spare him your sympathy.
"I'm not going to sit here and worry about things that are out of my control," Tuel said. "I play the game a certain way, and that's as hard as I can."
(career completion %)
Early in the game, Tuel found himself scrambling for yardage. Nearing the sideline, he refused to run out of bounds, took a hit and suffered a broken collarbone.
"It would have been nice for him to run right out of bounds, sure," then-WSU coach Paul Wulff said at the time. "But you know, he's a competitor."
That fact has never been questioned since Wulff chose to burn Tuel's redshirt four games into his freshman season. It only seemed appropriate that a man named Wulff would throw an 18-year-old quarterback to the wolves, inserting Tuel into his first college game at USC with the 12th-ranked Trojans leading 20-0 in the second quarter and 75,000 fans roaring their approval.
Tuel, a Fresno native who never drew a sniff from the Trojans or most other Pac-12 (then Pacific-10) Conference teams, promptly silenced the Memorial Coliseum crowd by leading the Cougars on a long, impressive drive. The Cougars lost the game, but they found their quarterback.
Five games and starts later, Tuel's season ended due to a knee injury. He started every game as a sophomore and earned honorable mention all-conference honors, but injuries limited him to three games and two starts last season, and a knee injury in the second game this year sidelined him for two weeks. Earlier this month, he missed the final three quarters of the UCLA game after getting drilled.
"It (all the injuries) sucks, no doubt about it," Tuel said.
"It's unbelievable," coach Mike Leach said. "I mean, most people would have quit. So yeah, he's been through a lot of adversity. He's a tough guy, an example for everybody as far as real commitment to playing football."
Tuel absorbed a brutal beating last month at Stanford, but he passed for a career-high 403 yards despite being sacked 10 times.
"He got back up and kept fighting," Stanford defensive end Ben Gardner said. "He's a heck of a quarterback. He doesn't get the credit that he's due. He's a warrior."
The Cougars have sought a medical redshirt year for Tuel, but athletic director Bill Moos estimates the odds of gaining the NCAA's approval at 20-30 percent. Tuel, who has battled for the starting job with Connor Halliday all season, has repeatedly said he might not stay at WSU even if he is granted another year of eligibility.
Pro ball is a possibility, and recent NCAA rule changes permit some college graduates to transfer and complete their eligibility at another school the following season. Tuel is set to earn his communications degree next month.
Right now, Tuel is focused on beating those purple-and-gold guys from the rainy side of the state. The 2010 Apple Cup was the only one Tuel was healthy enough to play in, but he knows enough about the Cougars-Huskies rivalry to have stopped drinking purple Gatorade – "That's my favorite" – years ago.
TUEL RANKS 5th ON WSU's CAREER LIST FOR COMPLETIONS (498), 7th FOR PASSING YARDS (5,586) AND 7th FOR TD PASSES (33).

by Dan Brown
(Bantam, £20)
You can't argue with Dan Brown's sales figures. He has sold some 200 million books worldwide. There are more than 81 million copies of The Da Vinci Code alone in circulation. The Lost Symbol, his last novel about his "symbologist" hero Robert Langdon, sold a million on its first day of publication, making it still the fastest-selling adult novel ever.
There's not even any sex to speak of in Brown's work either, a fact cheerily acknowledged in Inferno, his first novel for six years, sure to be this year's overall bestseller. When Langdon asks his publisher for the loan of a private jet, he's told: "If you want to write Fifty Shades of Iconography, we can talk." A joke, almost - although Brown doesn't really do jokes either.
What Dan Brown does do is extreme product continuity. If you liked his previous books, you won't be disappointed by this one, because it is more of the same. Once again, it's a chase sequence across different countries, in a tight time frame, as Langdon progressively unravels improbable puzzles and ciphers, leading to the revelation of a world-shattering conspiracy.
This time, though, Dan Brown is not meddling with the bloodline of Jesus or the secrets of the Freemasons but with cutting edge science. Inferno is a thriller about the threat posed by overpopulation to the survival of the entire human race and the monstrous solution to the problem that a brilliant but deranged geneticist, Bertrand Zobrist, has devised. Sounds good!
However, to give his pet symbologist something to do, Brown has to bring in some arty and religious references. So Zobrist, the crazy boffin, also happens to be a "Dante fanatic", influenced by the poet's hellish visions - and he has laid a trail of Dante allusions to bring Robert Langdon and his various allies and pursuers to the scene of his apocalyptic act, a little tastelessly referred to as "his ground zero". Why our villain wants to lead them there at all, let alone through such a complicated path, is never explained - he just does, OK?
We begin in Florence, where Langdon wakes up, with complete amnesia about his last few days, caused by a mysterious head wound. Almost at once furiously pursued by mystery assassins, ably assisted by a ponytailed blonde he has just met called Sienna Brooks, he races through all the main tourist sites of the city, including the Palazzo Vecchio and the Baptistery, before following the trail to Venice, where he dashes through St Mark's, before rushing on again to Istanbul, where he heads first for Hagia Sophia and then the city's "sunken palace".
So there's plenty more of the dimwit cultural history and tour guidance that Dan Brown's readers have evidently enjoyed so much before. Michelangelo's David? "Arguably the world's most admired male nude." Istanbul? "Arguably one of the most historically diverse locations on earth." Venice? "A unique Italian water-world city made up of hundreds of interconnected lagoons and ruled for centuries by a Venetian head of state known as a doge."
And that poem by Dante? "Dante's Inferno, Langdon thought. Inspiring foreboding pieces of art since 1330." The perfect ad for Alighieri.
We can only admire Dan Brown for not having changed his prose style one iota either. He has stuck to his guns. Although it appears that while composing he does like every now and then to hang upside down to improve the flow of blood to his brain, he has not taken any remedial lessons in English usage or submitted his work to corrective editing. It is just as full of ineptitudes, stumbling blocks and outright howlers as it always was. He cannot fit words together. The very first sentence about Langdon waking up amnesiac reads: "The memories materialized slowly... like bubbles surfacing from the darkness of a bottomless well." It wouldn't be bottomless, would it? Only deep.
The language is repetitious and full of clichés, so that all smiles are wry, looks incredulous and chuckles grim. Dan Brown still doesn't know how to show rather than to tell. "The crowd gasped audibly", he tells us; then a bit later, "Sienna gasped audibly"; then again a few pages on, "Langdon's gasp of revelation was audible".
He has special trouble with all figures of speech relating to the human body and agency, so that eyes, hands and feet are all over the place, acting entirely on their own - "his eyes urgently scanned the sidewalk", etc. He continues to place unwarranted trust in the use of dot dot dot for building suspense mid-sentence and in idiotic italicisation for indicating deep thought. He believes the word "suddenly" infallibly excites. He uses full names in almost every sentence, perhaps as a comprehension aid for those with no attention span at all.
Dan Brown couldn't write: "The cat sat on the mat". It would be: "Suddenly, the tall, well-built cat sat on arguably the most famous mat in the world. The mouse gasped audibly. What... in the world?"
Never mind. His fans are, in one of his own favourite words, legion. And if The Da Vinci Code achieved notoriety through outraging Catholics, Inferno bids fair to choke anybody who values human life. For the book ends up keenly endorsing the idea that reducing the population of the planet by at least a third, willy nilly, might be a smart move. After all, it did the trick before. "The Black Plague thinned the herd and paved the way for the Renaissance", as our heroine Sienna explains.
History with a slightly broad brush perhaps? But that's Dan Brown's speciality. It's hard to decide what's the more alarming - that Brown clearly thinks he has got a good debating point here, or that he has announced he already has ideas for 12 more books featuring symbologist Robert Langdon. Either way, Inferno pulls off the fantastic feat of making you feel almost nostalgic for last year's merely mucky blockbuster.Reuse content

Pune, Nov 29 (IANS) Indian Army chief General Bikram Singh Thursday said the army fully backed parents of Kargil War martyr Captain Saurabh Kalia, who was captured and brutally tortured by the Pakistan Army in 1999, in pursuing their son's case at the International Court of Justice at the Hague.
"He was our brave officer who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty in the best traditions of the Indian Army. We have written to the Ministry of Defence and National Human Rights Commission conveying our concerns in the matter. We fully support his parents," General Singh said here.
The army chief was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the passing out parade of the 123rd course of the National Defence Academy at Khadakwasla near here.
Captain Kalia's father N.K. Kalia recently moved the Supreme Court seeking its direction to the government to raise his son's case at the International Court of Justice at the Hague.
Kalia has been pressing the defence ministry, the army headquarters, external affairs ministry and the Prime Minister's Office for over a decade to exert pressure on Pakistan to punish those Pakistani soldiers who indulged in barbaric torture of his son and five other soldiers in violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Salt and pepper a thawed roast such as a round roast or chuck. Place it in your crockpot, put the lid on turn your crackpot on to it's highest setting and cook for about 8 hours. You will have plenty of moisture from the meat itself. We also like to add a package of onion soup to this before cooking. With the drippings you can make baron of beef, or thicken the drippings for a flavorful gravy.
here is one...sounds awesome. i just happen to have tilapia in the freezer...but don't have the balsamic vinegar! dang!
never thought of putting fish in the crock pot.
Boneless chicken breasts without skin work really well for this, too.Originally Posted by catrancher
This recipe turned out awesome! i posted this a while ago..plan on having it again tomorrow..
Lemon Sweet Chicken
1 chicken, cut up i use 10 chichen thighs,bone and skinless
1/2 cup water
1 - 6 ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
i could only find the 12 ounce frozen lemonade..so i measured 1/2 to use, and froze the other 1/2 for next time
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons catsup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
hot cooked rice
Put the chicken pieces to
the crockpot.
Blend the thawed lemonade concentrate, the 1/2 cup
water, brown sugar, catsup and vinegar; pour over chicken.
Cover and
cook on low heat setting until tender, 5 or 6 hours. Remove the
chicken to platter; keep warm. Skim fat from the pan juices. Measure
juices; add water if necessary, to make 1 1/4 cups liquid. Place the
liquid into a sauce pan. Blend 1 tablespoon of cold water with the
cornstarch. Stir into the pan juices. Cook and stir till thickened and
bubbly. Remove from heat. serve sauce with chicken; over rice.
Remember,you can always make it up in the evening, and plug it in in the morning..if your crock comes out.
with the rice, i fried up some chopped onion in a little olive oil, i get the "cilantro" broth cubes..(in the spanish section), and 1 broth cube of chicken flavor. cup of water, boiled and mash/melt both cubes..then put it in the rice cooker..with the onion. we all love this rice..

Laughing--in July I posted a link for a crockpot site I used quite often. A couple of people tried it and the link wouldn't open. I just tried it again and got a Dating Site for 50+!! I guess the cooking site is not available. I didn't open any links on the dating site; all I could think of is my DH is 50+; why would I want another "older man"??? Sorry for the "missing" link!!
I've made this with frozen chicken breasts, can of black beans, can of corn and a jar of salsa for 5-6 hrs then topped with the cream cheese. As stated it's wonderful shredded then served with avocado...mmmmm!

Apr 16, 2013 - The Associated PressCouple settles lawsuit over shot horse
CASPER --A Thermopolis couple has reached a $2,700 settlement with a Hot Springs County undersheriff who shot and killed their horse on their land.
Chris and Larry Bentley sued after their 15-year-old horse, Bud, was shot by undersheriff David Larson about 100 feet from their home in August 2010. According to court documents, Larson had assumed that the horse was a neglected stray.
The settlement was reached Wednesday. Larson will also pay legal fees.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Patricia Bach represented Larson. In court papers, she said the decision to settle was not an acknowledgement of wrongdoing.
The Bentleys say a lack of nutrition before they adopted Bud caused him to develop arthritis. However, they say he was well taken care of and treated like a pet.
First vote set on Casper smoking ban
CASPER --The Casper City Council is scheduled to have its first vote and public hearing Tuesday on changes proposed for the city's ban on smoking in enclosed public places.
Amending or repealing the ordinance will require three readings. SmokeFree Natrona County has stated it will fight any weakening of the law.
After the smoking ordinance took effect in September, some business owners complained they were losing customers.
The City Council has informally agreed to lift the ban for taverns, lounges and bars. Other proposed changes include exempting private clubs when they're closed to the public and allowing smoking in nonpublic areas of service establishments.
Jackson resort sets record for skiers
JACKSON --Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has broken the 500,000 skier-day benchmark for the first time this past winter season.
Resort managers calculated it hosted 502,222 visits, or skier days, this season, which started Nov. 24.
The increase marked a 5 percent jump over last year and beat the previous record set in 2008.
Resort President Jerry Blann said the half-million mark has been achieved by only 17 to 20 resorts a year.
The increases came during a meager season of snow. The Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center reported 385 inches of snowfall this season, compared to 605 during the epic year of 2007-08.

I don't own a 938 yet but I will...
This is a discussion on Sig P238 question regarding Sig P938 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I was wandering if anyone who purchased a Sig P238 now also owns a Sig P938 and if so what reason is made to when ...
I was wandering if anyone who purchased a Sig P238 now also owns a Sig P938 and if so what reason is made to when you carry the .380 instead of the 9mm version? If you had a P238 then bought a P938 what did you do with your P238 if you did not keep it? (Give it to your wife, son, daughter for example).
The reason I picked the P238 over the P938 was the P238 is slightly smaller and I carry (for the most part) in my right front pocket using one of two holsters. I have a Crossbreed Mini Tuck as well which I use from time to time. I am thinking of a another pistol which would be IWB only. I like the S&W Shield 9 but I will most likely stick with another Sig (just not sure which one yet).
I've got both and keeping both! Why? Cause I love guns! Seriously, the 938 will be my EDC once broken in. I like the 238 for special occasions when dress demands something smaller. Hell, might even carry both at once!
I bought a P238 for my wife. I liked it so much that I bought a P938 for myself. The 238 is noticeably lighter than the 938, but the 938 is still very carriable. I bought the 938 to have a little more power in my EDC vs. the P238. They are both fantastic pistols.
purchased the 238 after getting the Ruger lcp , did not like the trigger pull on the lcp ..
really like the 238 ,
picked up the 938 because how much I like the 238 , but wanted a little more firepower.
the 938 is my EDC , and the 238 is when I need to pocket carrey ..
The only difference in shooting the two is the size of the "bang" when you pull the trigger. The 938 is about 5% bigger than the 238.
The 238 is 5.5" long, 3.9" high and 1.1" thick. The 938 is 5.9" long, 3.9" long and 1.1" thick and weighs 16oz vs 15.2oz for the 238.

WASHINGTON - A major trait that endeared Jim Brady to the Washington press corps was his sense of humor, especially when he made fun of his own boss.
When Ronald Reagan was campaigning for president in 1980, Reagan drew scorn from environmentalists for saying that trees were a greater source of pollution than cars. Aboard the campaign plane, Brady pointed at a forest fire in the distance and yelled, "Killer trees! Killer trees!" to the great amusement of reporters.
After the election, Reagan's advisers appeared hesitant to appoint Brady press secretary. Nancy Reagan was said to feel the job required someone younger and better-looking than the 40-year-old, moon-faced, balding Brady.
"I come before you today not as just another pretty face but out of sheer talent," Brady told reporters. A week later, he got the job.
Brady, who died Monday at 73, would need humor and much more after March 30, 1981. On that day John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel just two months into the new president's term. Reagan nearly died from a chest wound. Three others, including Brady, were struck by bullets from Hinckley's handgun.
Shot in the head, Brady lived through hours of delicate surgery and then many more operations over the years. But he never recovered the normal use of his limbs and was often in a wheelchair. Besides partial paralysis from brain damage, he suffered short-term memory impairment, slurred speech and constant pain.
Still, along with his wife, Sarah, he went on to become the face and as much as possible the voice of the gun-control movement in the United States. A federal law requiring background checks for handgun buyers bears his name, as does the White House press briefing room.
Mrs. Reagan, the former first lady, said Monday she was "deeply saddened to learn of Jim Brady's passing today. Thinking of him brings back so many memories - happy and sad - of a time in all of our lives when we learned what it means to 'play the hand we're dealt.'"
Although Brady returned to the White House only briefly, a year after the shooting, he was allowed to keep the title of presidential press secretary - and the $89,500 annual salary as assistant to the president for press relations - until Reagan left office.
Sarah Brady became involved in gun-control efforts in 1985, and later chaired Handgun Control Inc., but Brady took a few more years to join her, and Reagan did not endorse their efforts until 10 years after he was shot. Reagan's surprise endorsement - he was a longtime National Rifle Association member and an opponent of gun control laws - helped turn the tide in Congress.
"They're not going to accuse him of being some bed-wetting liberal, no way can they do that," said Brady, who had become an active lobbyist for the bill.
The Brady law required a five-day wait and background check before a handgun can be sold.

Identifying ear rot diseases
Before starting up the combine, you should think about the possibility of ear rot and kernel rot diseases in your corn. Detecting these diseases before harvest is a good way to avoid problems and make proper decisions before it is too late. Some of these fungi can produce mycotoxins that are harmful to livestock, so it can pay to be aware of their occurrence in your fields.
To check for ear rots, strip back the husks on at least 100 plants scattered throughout the field. Scout fields separately according to hybrid, tillage and rotation history, and planting date. It is important to be able to recognize the ear rot diseases because their potential impact is very dependent on the particular fungus involved.
Common Ear Rot Symptoms
Click on any image to see a full-screen version.
Fortunately, conditions have not been especially favorable for ear rot diseases this year and these diseases are a problem only in a small number of fields.
When evaluating an ear rot problem, remember, certain ear rots are a warning sign to suspect toxins, but ear rots do not always lead to toxin problems. Many fungi are not known to produce toxins, and even those that can produce toxins do not always do so. Proper handling reduces the risk of toxin development in infected kernels. On the other hand, significant toxin concentrations can sometimes occur in grain that was not visibly moldy.
When potentially toxigenic ear rots are noticed in the field, grain can be managed so as to minimize toxin development. There is no real threshold for these diseases because toxin levels cannot be estimated from mold levels. If more than about 10 percent of ears have a significant amount of mold (25 percent of the ear or more), these fields should be harvested as soon as possible. The combine will remove some of the moldiest kernels.
The best option for moldy grain is to feed it or sell it instead of storing it. However, it should be tested for toxins before feeding. If toxins are present, it is possible that it can be fed to a less sensitive livestock species, such as cattle. This will depend on the specific toxin and its concentration.
A veterinarian or extension specialist can help with these decisions. If the grain is sold, there may be a reduced price due to mold damage.
Testing for mycotoxins can be done before putting the grain in storage. If toxins are already present, storage is not a good option. Corn that is moldy going into storage will definitely not store well. Toxins only can stay the same or increase. Cleaning the grain will remove fine particles that are usually the moldiest and most susceptible to further mold development. Good storage conditions (clean bins, proper temperature and moisture content, aeration, insect control, etc.) and regular inspection are essential in preventing mold and toxin development in any corn.

text: So the Bernanke announces that the Fed will buy $40B of t-bonds per month, on top of the $45B in MBSs per month. That equates to them monetizing 90% of the treasury's debt issuance. What does this mean for us? It seems like the Fed is flailing madly in an attempt to just keep things the way they are. That gives me somewhat of an uneasy feeling. They reeeeeally want people piling into equities and RE.

Murray's golden moment
Long-time sweethearts ... Pete Murray and Amanda Coutts.

It was a golden moment for singer Pete Murray in the tiny village of Eureka in northern NSW yesterday when he married his long-time sweetheart Amanda Coutts.
Not only did the couple enjoy an intimate wedding in the Byron Bay hinterland, but they left the church aboard an old-fashioned kombi van in a nod to their laid-back union.
Murray, who received ARIA nominations for his debut album Feeler and his most recent release See The Sun, stuck to a traditional soundtrack for the ceremony inside Eureka's Uniting Church.
Hymns during the 45-minute ceremony included Morning Has Broken and Glory, Glory Hallelujah.
Coutts wore a full-length sleeveless ivory gown, with chiffon neck detail and a soft, Elizabethan-style collar. She was accompanied by three bridesmaids in light blue.
Murray changed out of his traditional rock'n'roll uniform of jeans and T-shirt to wear a crisp black suit, white shirt and long tie.
The couple, who have a two-year-old son, Charlie, returned to their property near Eureka for a reception with family and friends.
There were about 150 guests at the wedding, including members of Murray's band the Freemasons, but the singer shied away from having full-blown celebrity nuptials.
However, there were security guards outside the church, ensuring only invited guests attended.
Murray, 36, is one of mainstream music's biggest stars and has a legion of fans in Australia, including an adoring female audience.
But he only has eyes for one woman, Coutts, who regularly travels with him on tours with their son.
When Murray was in his early 20s, writing and crooning songs in his lounge room, Coutts encouraged him to try to record some of his material.
Even before their official wedding ceremony yesterday Murray regularly referred to Coutts as "my wife".
It was no surprise to Murray's friends that his much-loved kombi played a role in his wedding, because the vehicle was a key part of his early music career.
Before Murray hit the big time he used the kombi to lug equipment to gigs and travelled to various parts of the country to perform live. It even made a cameo appearance on the Feeler album cover.
Although he has driven the vehicle all over the country, Murray left the church as a passenger yesterday. A driver was waiting in the van to collect Murray and Coutts at the end of the wedding ceremony.
The newlyweds are expected to have a honeymoon but Murray is due to appear at the ARIA awards ceremony in Sydney on October 29.Source: The Sun-Herald

Hi lili,
Give this link a try:
Version "S" is the one that I work from, but there may be another updated one out there. This one works just fine for me though. As long as you have Excel you will be just fine. Good luck! :)
