Catamaran or Trimaran?

Most multihull buyers have a subconscious preference for cats or tris.

Once you've made the decision that your cruising boat will be a multihull, the nextstep is to determine how many hulls it should have. Most prospectivemultihull buyers have a subconscious preference for catamarans or trimarans,but often this bias reflects a lack of experience or serious investigationof the other type of boat. My wife, for instance, instinctively preferscatamarans, yet it's fair to say she's never been cruising on a moderntrimaran, or for that matter that she knows anyone who has owned one. I feel youshould keep an open mind in your search for the ideal multihull. Althoughyour instincts may well be accurate, initial preferences can change aftercareful reflection and some hands-on research.
Catamarans are by far the most prevalent cruising multihull, formany good reasons which we'll discuss shortly. They are also the mostwidely available as a charter yacht. This means that most sailors new tomultihulls get their first taste on a catand first impressions,especially those on a well-appointed charter yacht, can be lasting. Mostof the cruising trimarans on the market are in fact trailerable sportcruiserseasily transported boats that can serve as racer, cruiser, orsome combination of the two. While catamarans seem to be the cruisingmultihull of choice, trimarans have some distinct advantages that make themwell worth consideration. Let's compare catamarans and trimarans usingvarious cruising considerations.
Accommodations and Storage Ability By far the most impressive characteristic of a cruising catamaran is theamazing amount of space on board for the overall length of the boat. Thewide beam on most catamarans allows for truly outstanding cockpits,foredecks, living and sleeping accommodations, galleys, heads, and storagespaces.

Deck and storage space on most cruising multihulls make for easy living.

Sleeping accommodations are superb. On our 26-footcruising cat we had two double aft cabins with permanently made-up berthsand a salon seating area that converted to a queen-size berth. While thereare many different layouts, cats in the 34 to 38-footrange typically have staterooms in three of the four corners of the boatand a large head in the other corner. Longer cats, many of which are set up for chartering, can easily have four double staterooms and four heads. Versions outfitted forprivate ownership often have one entire hull dedicated as the owner'sstateroom, with two additional staterooms in the other hull.
The galley and living areas on a cruising cat can also be quiteastonishing. This is mainly due to the fact that the main salon on a catis level with the cockpit, affording panoramic views and the ability tointeract easily with people in the cockpit. The galley on a cat can bedown in a hull or up in the main salon area, and either option allows for aspacious, well-equipped food handling area.
Catamarans not only have more physical storage space, but theygenerally have a greater load-carrying ability for a given length of boat. The interior layout and accommodations on most modern trimarans aresimilar to those found on monohulls. There are a few trimaran designs withsolid wing decks where the interior accommodations (usually in the form ofberths) extend out toward the amas. These designs are the exception,however, and tend to be of an older vintage.

Large, light, and airy interiors set multis off in a class by themselves.

Sailing Performance and Safety In general, trimarans have better sailing performance for the size of boatthan catamarans, especially cats with fixed low-aspect ratio keels ratherthan daggerboards. Trimarans with one or two daggerboards or a centerboardusually have a better ability to tack and to go to windward, and aregenerally faster for the same length of boat. For those who like toexperience a variety of cruising grounds, but don't have the time or desireto make long passages, a sport trimaran may be a good choice. And it'sbeen said that sport trimarans inherently have that ultimate designcharacteristic for speed enhancement, trailerability, which allows them togo at highway speeds.
Trimarans, and to a lesser extent catamarans, are often given a badrap concerning safety. This is almost exclusively due to two factors:

The majority of trimarans out sailing are sport models whose skippers oftenpush the safety envelope in search of higher performance.
The widelypublicized mishaps concerning high-speed ocean racing tris, and to a lesserextent cats.

 Whether cat or tri, true cruising multihulls are a wholedifferent breed with impressive safety records. Safety on multihulls, aswith all sailboats, is related to knowing when to shorten sail and how tohandle the boat in heavy weather.
Initial Cost and Resale The initial cost of multihulls is higher than monohulls of equivalentlength, with catamarans generally higher in cost per foot than trimarans.The high initial cost keeps many would-be multihull sailors out of the newboat market. Used boats can be a good option for those on a modest budget,but since the resale value of multihulls is excellent, you'll need to do somesearching to find a true bargain.
Maintenance and Ongoing Costs Catamarans have two main hulls to maintain, while trimarans have one mainhull and much smaller outer hulls called amas. Cats also tend to have twoengines (one in each hull) and, therefore, twice the mechanical maintenance.

Trailerable sport tris offer great performanceright up to 65 mph!

Sport trimarans have the edge when it comes to docking, storage, andtransportation, since they fold to roughly the beam of a monohull and theirtrailerability allows for easy storage and road transport. When comparingnon-trailerable tris and cats, they both cost quite a bit more than monohullsfor dockage, storage, and transportation by road or ship because of their wide beam.
Making the Decision The choice between catamaran and trimaran comes down to personal preferenceand finding the best boat for your needs. For thoroughbred performance andthe potential for trailerability, take a look at the trimarans on themarket. Many catamaran designs also offer superb performance, and a fewdesigns such as the Aquillon 26 and F-25 are trailerable. Most other catamarans onthe market offer a nice blend of performance and the opportunity forincredibly comfortable cruising. Remain flexible and you're sure to findyour ideal cruising multihull.

Megs thought the driver was after a bribe because he played Laos music tapes at full volume for the entire trip. It drove the foreigners crazy with many of them putting in ear plugs. The only thing that stopped the music was when we picked up a local (and his AK-47 machine gun), dropping him off down the road.
When we arrived in Phonsovan we found a normal sleepy little town.
The next day we picked up some bread and cheese for our lunch and headed to the tour office for our tour of the Plain of Jars. On the way to the first site we stopped at the local stadium to have a look at the Hmong New Year Festival. It was just a quick look but there were the normal kids rides, games and food with a Lao touch. Basically all the games were the same except one that was a wall of balloons where you throw three darts to try and pop the them to win a prize. Not surprisingly they fix the darts so they won't fly straight.
Heading on we stopped again a short way down the road to watch some cow fighting, apparently a local tradition
Arriving at the first site (the only UNESCO listed one) we paid our typical foreigner entry fee, 400% more than locals. We made sure to read the MAG (Mine Advisory Group) sign explaining about un-exploded ordinance (UXO) and headed along the cleared path, staying between the white and red markers. Outside of these they don't guarantee you won't be blown up as they've only done a surface sweep of the area. Interestingly the mine sweeps only occurred in March this year and were sponsored by NZaid.
The jars were amazing. Huge rock sculptures made god knows when and moved god knows how to their current position. They don't actually know what they were used for but think it was perhaps as a burial jar. Walking around we took in the site with over 100 jars. It was also interesting to see the effect of the carpet bombing in the area. The fields are littered with crater holes and very few trees due to the use of Agent Orange.
Continuing down the very bumpy road we proceeded to site two. Up on the top of a hill in the middle of no where, again with another few hundred scattered jars (some with lids)
On the way back we stopped at a village where they made rice whiskey, but weren't keen to try any so it was a quick stop while the others had a taste. Arriving back in town we had a look at the old US airfield used during the Vietnam War. It is right behind the main street and looks untouched, though not maintained. We could just imagine a plane landing there between all the houses.
More noodles and veges for dinner then off to bed for an exhausted sleep (and to listen to the other hostels guests, a surveying team, party on into the night).

After Bond (Pierce Brosnan) gets caught by the enemy in an Axis of Evil hot zone, M (Judi Dench) and the rest of her alphabet spy squad secure his release by giving the Koreans a blue-eyed Asian man with a very expensive face. "One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter," says the great Emilio Echevarría's Cubano. That's as deep as Die Another Day is willing to get—then again, Bond has never been known to mix politics with pleasure. This 20th Bond flick features the usual country-hopping (represented here: North Korea, South Korea, a dance-happy Cuba, Great Britain and Iceland), assortment of gadgets and skimpy outfits for the ladies. Everything has a detonation switch, and as such something is exploding on the screen at any given movement. For the Bond aficionado, the fireworks may not be enough to hide the fact that the film's toys look awfully familiar—that so many of the film's sights and sounds (satellites, laser beams, etc.) bring to mind Dr. No may mean that it's time to put 007 to rest. On the Bond Girl Richter scale, Halle Berry must fall somewhere near the bottom. She's good with a gun and knows how to emerge from the ocean but in allowing her to kick ass on equal ground with Bronson, director Lee Tamahori may empower Berry physically but he still manages to give her all the degrading dialogue. (After her gratuitous Swordfish and Monster's Ball stripteases, Berry has curiously decided to keep her clothes on.) As Verity, a British fencing instructor, Madonna seems to be in her own element here. Her exit line ("I don't like cockfights") not only suggests that she may have been unavailable for a second day of shooting but that the entire film's dialogue could have been coined from pieces left over from her Erotica album. Fast cars, loose women and double entendres have kept James Bond in the public eye for nearly 40 years. Nineteen films after he first made his appearance in Dr. No, 007 is still a walking cliché. The collection of clever quips on parade here are both tiresome and predictable (big points, though, for the Asian masseuse who calls herself Peaceful Fountains of Desire). And with there being no end in sight to Mike Myers's Austin Powers franchise, how will James Bond now reconcile that he's become a parody of a parody of a parody?

Adds Sparkle To BeadworkAugust 13, 2010
I used the TOHO Silver-Lined Amethyst 15/0 seed beads as an accent on the top edge of an embroidered pin/pendant featuring a piece of raw Amethyst. It added a bit of "sparkle" to the outline of the piece, and naturally complemented the other shades of purple in the beadwork.

Disney's 'Into the Woods' Images Tease a Star-Studded Fairy Tale
Posted on Wednesday, July 30th, 2014 by Angie Han
We've seen plenty of live-action fairy tales hit the big screen in recent years, but most of those movies are content to include tell just one story. Rob Marshall's upcoming musical Into the Woods mashes them all together.
The first Into the Woods images show James Corden and Emily Blunt as a baker and his wife who want to start a family. But in order to do so, they must first confront the witch (Meryl Streep) who put a curse on them.
Along the way, they come across a whole bunch of other familiar characters including Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), her prince (Chris Pine), the Big Bad Wolf (Johnny Depp), and more. Check out the new Into the Woods images after the jump.

April 20, 2011

East Lansing, MI — The Michigan State University College of Law Legal Clinic welcomed the community to learn more about its services and tour its new facilities at a public open house on Tuesday, April 19.
The Legal Clinic offers the opportunity for MSU Law students to work under close faculty supervision on real cases with clients from the local community. The clinic reopened at 610 Abbot Road in East Lansing in February, marking a new era in the program's history.
MSU Law Dean Joan Howarth calls the move "an important next step" that will elevate the Law College's clinical program. "I recommend that every law student take a clinical course and get a chance to serve the community in a world-class law office environment," Howarth added.
The move came in a year already marked by exceptional growth and notable successes. In 2010, First Amendment law, immigration law, and plea and sentencing were added to a slate of programs that already included housing law, small business and nonprofit law, tax law, and the Chance at Childhood Clinic. A civil rights practice area that will work with prisoners is expected to open in the fall, and conservation law and other practice areas are on the horizon.
The Legal Clinic's new building provides twice the square footage of its former location, while featuring two classrooms, seven client intake rooms, a supervised visitation room, and a Sparty-themed waiting area for children. Unlike the old facilities, where students and faculty were separated into different areas of the building, the new site's integrated workspaces encourage collaboration across practice areas.
Professor Michele Halloran, director of clinical programs at MSU Law, commented on the clinic's convenient location near downtown East Lansing, easy access to a bus line, and free parking for clients. "The new building in many respects makes the clinic more accessible to the public," she noted.
The clinic's commitment to service also is expanding to include clients who can't come to them. Last fall, MSU College of Law purchased a used library bookmobile, which clinicians will take on the road to provide mobile legal services to the state's migrant worker camps and rural regions.
As MSU Law's roster of clinical offerings grows, so too does the impact students can have on clients and the community. Recent examples include:
The MSU College of Law Legal Clinic provides a high-energy, small law firm environment in which students apply their knowledge of the substantive law to real-life situations under the guidance and supervision of licensed attorneys. While discovering their niche in the field of law, student clinicians provide an important service for the betterment of the community.
Michigan State University College of Law, a leading institution of legal education with a long history of educating practice-ready attorneys, prepares future lawyers to use ethics, ambition, and intellect to solve the world's problems. As one of only a few private law schools affiliated with a major research university, MSU Law offers comprehensive interdisciplinary opportunities combined with a personalized legal education. After 100 years as a private and independent institution, the affiliation with MSU has put the Law College on an upward trajectory of national and international reputation and reach. MSU Law professors are gifted teachers and distinguished scholars, its curriculum is rigorous and challenging, and its facility is equipped with the latest resources—all affirming MSU Law's commitment to educating 21st-century lawyers.

Belgian Court Deals Google a Bombshell
It has all the makings of an epic David vs. Goliath battle: A band of scrappy Belgian publishers, citing copyright infringement, have taken on Google and emerged victorious. On Feb. 13, a Belgian court said the search giant could not reproduce certain copyrighted titles and summaries on its Belgian Google news or Google.be Web site. What's more, the Mountain View (Calif.) company must pay €25,000 a day ($32,500) until it removes all related content. Google says it will appeal.
At first glance, it might be easy to dismiss the case as a one-off. After all, the ruling only applies to French- and German-language publications in Belgium, including Le Soir and La Dernière Heure, that are represented by Brussels-based copyright group Copiepresse.
But if the Belgian case is upheld, or if similar cases are filed and won in other jurisdictions, it could have radical implications for Google (GOOG). "A lot of the value of the [Google] service is its comprehensive nature," says Frédéric Louis, a partner at the law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Brussels. "The more national exceptions you have to make, the more it loses that value."
An Internet in Disarray
Indeed, the search powerhouse has traditionally taken a very aggressive position on copyright, citing the principle that "fair use" allows it to use snippets of material and a link to the full story on the copyright-holders' sites, says Lee Bromberg, an intellectual property attorney at Bromberg & Sunstein in Boston. "The Belgian ruling suggests that…they're going to have to be more compromising," Bromberg says. "That's a pretty serious wake-up call."
And it's not just a wake-up call for Google. That's because the entire concept of search indexing and news aggregation relies largely on compiling Web pages and online content for free. "I think if the Belgium decision holds up on a broader basis the whole Internet will be thrown in disarray," says Mark P. Kesslen, an attorney with Lowenstein Sandler who chairs the firm's intellectual property group. "Go to Yahoo! news; go to any of the sites that are an aggregator of content, and they are not getting approval."
No question, search engines and portals direct vast amounts of traffic to Web sites. But the Copiepresse case underscores publishers' concern that, while their sites may get more visitors thanks to Google and the like, it's the news aggregators who take more of the revenue. In many cases material is being reproduced outright, with no return to the copyright owner. Copiepresse has also accused Yahoo! (YHOO) of copyright violation, and Microsoft's (MSFT) MSN has also landed in hot water with some Belgian newspapers.
Not Even Summaries
"All publishers are worried that they have developed too great a dependence on portals, which now makes it hard to oppose them and get a fair deal," says François le Hodey, chief executive of Brussels-based publisher IPM, which puts out La Libre Belgique and other publications and is represented by Copiepresse. "It's time to say 'hold on' and take some time to establish the rules of the game."
To be sure, Google News doesn't reproduce entire articles. Instead, it posts news summaries and includes links to the full articles on the original site. But the Belgian group argues that even Google's use of headlines and story summaries violates copyright law.
The Belgian papers aren't alone in taking issue with Google. Two years ago, Agence France-Presse filed a suit seeking damages after Google put photos and story snippets from the French newswire on its news search page. The case is still pending and Google has dropped AFP content in the interim. Google has also run into trouble with publishers and authors over the scanning and digital reproduction of books. (The McGraw-Hill Companies, parent of BusinessWeek.com, is among them.)
Defining Fair Use
Google said in a statement that it believes its news service is entirely legal and that it was "disappointed" with today's judgement, which affirms a preliminary ruling last September (see BusinessWeek.com, 9/27/06, "Google in Tussle for Digital Rights"). Google has long held that any publisher not wanting to be indexed on Google News can opt out, or use a tool called robots.txt, which enables publishers to block items from being indexed.
Le Hodey of Copiepresse believes the ruling could embolden other publishers that operate under EU copyright directives to initiate proceedings against Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. Perhaps, but copyright laws aren't harmonized across the EU. For example, the concept of what constitutes "fair use"—usually sufficient acknowledgment of authorship—is more elastic in some countries than in others.
While some copyright holders are bound to try to exploit the ruling, "it would be a consumer tragedy if [the decision] became globally accepted," says Scott Devitt of Stifel Nicolaus & Co., who views the ruling as a one-off. "I think that Google will do what it needs to do to set it straight."
That seems to be exactly what Copiepresse wants. While some papers are happy to get whatever exposure they can from being included in Google News, le Hodey says most are eager to establish a more rewarding arrangement. "Finding a fair deal is in everyone's interest," le Hodey says. "The portals need content, and to keep producing that quality content, while we the publishers need to keep reinvesting in the publications that generate it."

In the last few years, security has become a hot-button issue for IT organizations of all sizes. Accordingly, many of the security features that were either optional or suspect in Windows 2000 have become solid, effective fixtures in Windows Server 2003-making it the most secure operating system Microsoft has ever produced. That is, if you know how to configure it properly.
The Windows Server 2003 Security Cookbook wants to make sure that you do know how. Picking up right where its predecessor, the Windows Server Cookbook, left off, this desktop companion is focused solely on Windows Server security. It teaches you how to perform important security tasks in the Windows Server 2003 OS using specific and adaptable recipes. Each recipe features a brief description of the problem, a step-by-step solution, and then a discussion of the technology at work. Whenever possible, the authors even tell you where to look for further information on a recipe.
The book is written in a highly modular format, with each chapter devoted to one or more technologies that Windows Server 2003 provides. This approach allows you to look up a task or scenario that you want to accomplish, find that page, and read that particular recipe only. Topics include:
If you're an intermediate or advanced system administrator who wants to feel secure when deploying Windows Server 2003 and its related services, then you don't want to be without the Windows Server 2003 Security Cookbook.

PS-S Reports
We Promote Self-Sufficiency
Since 1986, Project Self-Sufficiency (PS-S) has been creating opportunity for low-income, single parent families in Larimer County who are struggling to make ends meet and overcome the cycle poverty. From educational development and career planning to adequate child care access and housing, the program is a comprehensive resource providing everything a single parent needs to become self-sufficient:
Career Planning
Education & Training
Remove Barriers
Promote Family Health
Encourage Self Advocacy
Prevent Poverty
We are a local nonprofit organization supported by United Way, local governments, and private funders. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, national origin, age or disability.
Our Guiding Principles
Our History
PS-S evolved from the efforts of a countywide task force that met in 1985 to better coordinate and expand services for low-income, single parents and their children while encouraging the families toward greater self-sufficiency. Task force members pledged resources, including staff time and housing assistance for families, and the new project began in October 1986 with the enrollment of 65 families. Current program capacity is 150 families.
In 1989, a special program was added to address the specific housing needs of PS-S participants. Through a cooperative effort between Project Self-Sufficiency and the Housing Authority of the City of Loveland, the award winning Willow Place apartment complex was designed and constructed specially for single parent families participating in PS-S. The 20 families residing at Willow Place receive both a rent subsidy and housing in a unique setting that encourages mutual support among families and a sense of community.
During 1992, PS-S became incorporated under the name Project Self-Sufficiency of Loveland-Fort Collins and was approved for 501(c)(3) charitable status by the IRS. Since that time numerous program elements have been added, including the "Cars for Families" donation and repair programs, the scholarship fund, the emergency fund, the Boundless Children's Fund, self-esteem and other classes, holiday programs, child care assistance, and "Cool Kids" back-to-school clothes for children.

Ada Evening News, The (Newspaper) - July 2, 1962, Ada, Oklahoma What's Kennedy Seeking Through Latin Journeys? By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent MEXICO CITY (AP) What is President Kennedy accomplishing or trying to accomplish, by his personal diplomacy in Latin America? i Mexico was the third Latin American country the) president visited in his campaign to dramatize the Al- liance for Progress. Few would deny he has scored a significant personal triumph. He made whirlwind trips to Venezuela and Co- lombia last December. Brazil, at the end of July, is next. There may be more. The accomplishment in Mexico was measured by the impact of the U.S. president on the Mexi- can public, Kennedy's talks with President Adolfo Lopez Mateos hardly changed the situations they 59TH YEAR NO. 95 ADA, OKLAHOMA, MONDAY, JULY 12 Pages 5 CENTS WEEKDAY, 10 CENTS SUNDAY 1962 Shows Promise For Safety Mark The First six months of 1962 the safest half-year in recent years on Ada's traffic scene. During the first half of '62, only 137 traffic accidents occurred on city streets. That's 24 fewer than 1961 which was a record. In June of this year, only 37 accidents were reported, account- ing for much of the gain. The annual accident toll has de- creased steadily from 386 in 1959 to 353 in 1960 to 313 ill 1961. No mishaps were reported on Saturday, the last day of June, or Sunday. Two cases were filed Sunday in Municipal Court. Ronald E. Kay, 29, forfeited bond for operating a vehicle with improper muffler. Cleburn Howard, 44, was fined for public drunkenness. Late Saturday cases: Mary Holcomb, 19, and Frank- lin D. James, 25, reckless driving. Leo C. Pendleton, 67, Dale L. Johnson, 27, and 0. C. Frazier Jr., 24, .public drunkenness. Russell Smith, 39, resisting ar- rest and assault. Jerry Wayne Carroll, 16, im- proper muffler. talked about. The Mexican gov- ernment still will go its own way, will continue to recognize the Cas- tro regime in Cuba and will op- pose anything it considers inter- ference with Cuba's internal af- fairs. The Alliance for Progress was dramatized. Lopez Mateos public- ly embraced it and his joint com- munique with Kennedy called it a natural successor to the 1910 Mexican revolution. Persons in a position to know say an important aim of Kennedy j visits to Latin American nations is to create a psychological cli- mate, to generate enthusiasm for the ideas of the alliance and par- ticularly its idea that the Latin Americans will do their share and help themselves. President Kennedy's personal triumphs in Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico indicate that many of the people of those countries re- gard the United States and the policies of its young president with hope and high expectation. The alliance is dramatized in this way. But are there some dangers in dramatizing a program that raises hope that in a rela- tively short time Latin .America (Continued on Page Two) U. S. Plans Monstrous Fourth Of July Blast HONOLULU United. States will make a th'ird try at exploding its biggest and highest atmospheric nuclear shot of the current Pacific series on Wednes- day night, the Fourth of July, above Johnston Island. A spokesman for Joint Task Force 3, which is conducting the tests at Johnston and British- owned Christmas Island, said the blast is scheduled between 4 a.m. Thursday and a.m., Eastern Standard Time. Washington reoorts have indi- series near conclusion. The reports said the series is about 85 per cent completed. The test comes within the two or three months mentioned by President Kennedy in March when he announced the decision to re- sume nuclear testing. The series, tagged Operation Dominic, began April 25. Officially, the high-altitude de- vice will have the explosive force of more than a million tons of TNT, the power scientists call a megaton. Unofficially, it is ex- cated the explosion will bring to be up to 50 times as powerful as the nuclear warhead dropped on Hiroshima, Tne explosion is expected to go off at an altitude of about miles.

Bill Taylor, operator of the laundry and dry cleaning estab- lishment, says he will continue to operate from an office at 812 East Fourteenth (his The laundry, Ada's largest, will cooperate with a laundry at Seminole to take care of at least some of the Ada customers. The blaze destroyed the front portion of the -laundry building, but the dry cleaning plant was partially saved as firemen threw up a wall of water to keep it from spreading to the farthest north portion of the plant. However, practically all cloth- ing was destroyed. Thus, scores of customers will find them- selves short of clothing this week. Taylor said Monday the laun- dry's insurance policy on cus- tomer goods is "secondary" that is, if a customer has insur- ance on personal and household effects, he should go that route. Tf not otherwise covered, cus- tomers should file claims with the laundry's adjuster, Sam A. Brown. Taylor noted the fire will prob- ably necessitate cancellation of industrial laundry contracts, in- cluding a new one recently sign- ed with the Texoma State Lodge. That would have required Tay- lor's hiring of seven additional employes. Approximately 30 peo- ple were employed at the laun- dry .before the. fire .struck.-. Plans are underway for re- building the laundry, but Taylor said they are indefinite at this time. After investigating the char- red building, Fire Chief Dudley Young noted Sunday: "We're told there are two kinds of fires that are unstoppable a laun- dry and a supermarket. We did manage to keep the fire from spreading to the rear part of the plant and to nearby buildings. The full force of the blaze was also kept out of the plant's boil- er room." Young added that no "explo- sion" occurred during the fire. What many spectators thought was an explosion was merely the roof of the building caving in. The White-Way fire was the fifth blaze reported in four hours Saturday evening.

Court To Clarify Rule; Protest Blasts Initiative Petition OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A special 3-judge federal court took under advisement today a petition by Okla- homans for Local Government calling for clarification of its reapportionment ruling. A ruling on the petition apparently will come July 31 when the court will issue its final order regarding reap- portionment of the state legislature in the event no move has been started to reappor'tion. Judge A. P. Murrah, chief judge of the 10th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and U. S. Dist. Judge Fred Daugherty held the hearing on the petition. They ruled, the petition would be taken under advisement. U. S. Dist. Judge Ross Rizley, third member of the special fed- eral court, was absent.

Will Wilson says Un- dersecretary Charles Murphy and four other Agriculture Depart- ment officials should be fired for granting favors to Billie Sol Es- tes. Wilson also expressed his view on a television program that Sec- retary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman should resign for lack of prompt action in the Estes scandal. An Agriculture Department spokesman declined comment. Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, a member of the Senate Perman- ent Investigations subcommittee, appeared on the program as de- fender of the Agriculture Depart- ment. He said his committee, which resumes its hearings in the Estes case Thursday, has found no evidence of favors from Estes to persons still in the Agriculture Department. Estes, a Pecos, Tex., financier, is under state and federal fraud charges involving about mil- lion in mortgages of fertilizer tanks which the FBI has said do not exist. Manipulations of his cot- Senators Open Talks On Medicare Proposal ton acreage allotment and his storage of government grain also are under state and federal in- vestigation. Wilson, who has spent three months on the Estes inquiry, said: "I don't think there is any question.at all that he built an empire on favors, largely in the Department of Agriculture." The favors included, he said, approval of the cotton allotment deals which he contended were known in Washington before Whee'ock h Dead After Long Illness Wayne Wheelock, well known accountant, lodge official, church worker and -all-around serviceable citizen, died Monday at a.m. He was in the Scott-White hospital at Temple, Texas.

An- other Marines and Army troops are remaining. The U.S. Defense Department announced the withdrawal Sunday and said President Kennedy had authorized it. The announcement said more Marines might be with- drawn soon, depending on the situation. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said the Leathernecks "will still be in a position to ,move back quickly if necessary." They were rushed to Thailand from units of the U.S. 7th Fleet in the western Pacific. Vice Adm. William Shoech, the fleet commander, said they would rejoin the fleet units in the Philippines, Okinawa and Guam. The U.S. task force was rushed to Thailand in mid-May after the Red rebels in Laos broke a cease- fire and, advanced nearly to the border of Thailand. The Communist guerrillas did. not press their offensive, how- ever, and 11 days ago the three political factions in Laos reached an agreement and formed a coali- tion government under neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma.

It always seems as if something breaks down or needs replacing whenever large bills are due.
If it's time to pay the homeowner's insurance premium, then one of our vehicles needs new tires. If it's time for property tax bills, then the hot water heater goes out. That's just the way life is.
Somehow, though, while there might not always be money for the things we want, there always seems to be enough for the things we need.
But for those people who have more money than they know what to do with, companies are now making more and more "must have" items.
Lindsey Wilson will host "We Love Him Now: Lincoln the Unloved," a talk by Berry Craig, a professor at Western Kentucky Community and Technical College in Paducah.
The talk - which is a Kentucky Humanities Council event - will be at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, March 10 in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall. It is free and open to the public.
This event, originally planned for Jan. 27, was rescheduled because of the ice storm.
Not since 1973 when Bobby Riggs coaxed Billie Jean King into a "Battle of the Sexes" has so much controversy been raised by a tennis match.
But the Campellsville St. Baldrick's Committee has gone one better - Jeff Wright v. Sarge Pollock.
Wright and Pollock, will play in a winner-take-all-braggin'-rights match at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 14 at the tennis courts at Miller Park.
The match is a fundraiser for the second annual St. Baldrick's event.
Campbellsville cut a 16-point deficit to four with about five minutes to go in the Mid-South Conference Women's Tournament title game in Frankfort on Sunday, but the Lady Tigers ran out of time, losing to Cumberlands 69-57.
"Yeah, we cut it to four and had the ball," said Lady Tiger coach Ginger Colvin. "I felt good about it, but we just never could get over the hump."
Cumberlands placed five players in double figures and hit nearly 80 percent of its free throws in turning back a Campbellsville bid for a title, its first chance since 2004.
The Campbellsville University Concert Band will be performing its annual winter concert Tuesday, March 10 at 8 p.m. at Ransdell Chapel.

Taylor County will be featuring KMEA Festival selections during its portion of the program.

Nearly everyone can recall a story of how cancer has personally touched and left its mark on their lives. For a local woman, her family's experience with cancer has resulted in a fundraising campaign geared toward not only collecting donations but raising awareness about childhood cancer.
Donna Wise, chair of the department of human performance at Campbellsville University, has a grandson, Carter, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of six months.
The mission of St. Baldrick's is to raise awareness about a cure for childhood cancer. And this year's local fundraiser will culminate on Saturday, March 14.
The mission of Donna Wise and her army of volunteers is to raise money to make childhood cancer research a reality.
Wise undertook a three-week mission last year and created a buzz, literally and figuratively, that generated $52,000 in contributions.
Girl Scouts will be selling cookies through Sunday, March 15 and then they will be gone until 2010.
If you would like more information or want cookies before they're all gone, call 789-3055 or (888) 771-5173.
Upcoming booth sale:
- Saturday, March 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kroger in Green River Plaza.
Don't forget that Girl Scouts will also be taking monetary donations to the Gift of Caring program. In this program, troops choose a charitable organization in their community to visit and deliver boxes of Girl Scout Cookies donated by their customers.
Campbellsville University will host author MeMe Perdue of Eddyville, Ky., as the speaker for a wellness conference Saturday, March 7.
The conference will be in Ransdell Chapel from 10 a.m. to noon. Admission is free. At the conference, there will be door prizes, taste tests and free health screenings.
Perdue is the program director of the Pennyrile Allied Community Services Nutritional Outreach and Wholeness Program, a nutritional education program that serves every Kentucky county, including all age groups.

Early in the morning, before anyone else is awake, before the birds are even stirring, I walk down to the edge of the stream behind my house. I kneel down and call to my water nymph. She answers.
Not everyone can see her. Not everyone believes I see her. But I worship her. I promise her that I will love and revere her above all others, above my parents, my spouse, my children, myself. I request her help, ask her to carry out acts of mischief on others. Find money and treasure for me. Help me attain my goals. She bends to my will. She exists through me, for me.
Those who don't believe in my water nymph are a-nymphs. (Not to be confused with nymphos.) Their a-nymphism is a belief system, too, which, through contrast, helps validate my conviction.
This idea of belief and unbelief in nymphs is a little ridiculous, yes? Yet you and I often hear that atheism is a belief system or a religion.
No. It. Is. Not. Refusing to accept an outrageous story or idea as truth or true does not make our skepticism or doubt a "belief."
No matter our religious affiliation or lack of, we all sift through and oftentimes reject what others believe. Here are some examples, which many of our grandparents believed and we now simply reject (we don't become a-believers):
1. It's bad luck to open an umbrella inside.
2. If you break a mirror, you will have 7 years of bad luck.
3. Rubbing a wart with a bean pod, and then burying the pod, will get rid of a wart.
4. High heart rates mean that your fetus is female.
5. Shaving makes your hair grow back thicker.
6. If you swallow chewing gum, it remains in your stomach for 7 years.
7. If you go outside with wet hair, you'll catch a cold.
There was a time when it made sense to believe in these things. For example, before people understood that colds came from viruses, not from being "cold." Now that we know better, we reject this belief our grandparents held, or we just consider it an "old wives tale."
Many Christian apologists will insist that atheism is a "belief system" or a religion, too. This is simply an attempt to equalize the two, to bring unbelief on the opposite side of the equation from religion, which is a belief system. If, believers postulate, both sides are "beliefs" and if one is free to choose from two separate–but seemingly equal–systems, then it standardizes religion. Religion is now logical like math and science. Science and math now require a leap of faith. Belief and unbelief are simply one of two choices that any reasonable person can make.
No. No. No.
It is not logical to believe that breaking a mirror will bring you bad luck. It is not logical to believe in my water nymph, even if I tell you that your unbelief is a belief, too.
But what if all my neighbors and relatives say that they believe my story? What if I show you a book that I found, telling of the nymph's fantastical journey from Planet Ooh? What if I tell you that everything I've asked my water nymph for has materialized?
Correlation, we know, does not imply causation. An observation of two variables does not mean that one causes the other or that they're related.
There's one more thing we need to address to put the nail in the coffin of atheism as religion or belief system.
Yeah. I believe in science. But that is different from saying, "I believe in god."
"I believe in science" means that I put faith in the people and institutions that are doing the work, that I have confidence in their methods. I could do the math or science my damn self, if I had the time. But you and I cannot specialize in everything. We cannot do all things. So we must trust that others are doing their jobs, the same jobs that we could do, using the same methods that we were all taught and have agreed are worthy of our trust and confidence. These things are provable and repeatable and verifiable across the scientific community.
"I believe in god," as many philosophers have noted, is an existential claim that is made when the thing believed is unrealistic, unproven or highly unlikely. I believe that eating more burgers before conceiving will produce a boy baby. I believe that kissing a frog will produce a prince. I believe in the tooth fairy. Vampires. Leprechauns. Water nymphs. God.
So, no. Atheism and science are not beliefs or religions. And, yes. Belief in a deity or deities requires a leap of faith and is therefore not based in logic. If it were logical, we could all plug god into the equation and prove his or her existence. If it were logical, we could confirm the existence of god and heaven. We would not hear people say, "I know it doesn't make sense, but I just believe. I just feel in my heart that god is real." This is neither evidence nor grounds for a sound argument.
If believers are being intellectually honest, this is something they already know. Unfortunately, the idea of atheism as religion has been repeated so often that I now hear other unbelievers accept this as true. Don't get pulled into accepting this mistaken notion that atheism is just another belief, another card in the deck of theism.
One person's belief cannot create two religions.

Due to the planned introduction of universal credit, many of the current eligibility criteria for so-called "passported benefits" are under review by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Passported benefits are a variety of benefits and entitlements that claimants become eligible for when they are awarded tax credits. Each passported benefit has a different criteria and income threshold.
The charity Family Action warned that families could miss out on vital benefits if the introduction of universal credit changes existing entitlements to support.
Rhian Beynon, head of policy and campaigns at Family Action, said that the loss of free dental care for parents, for example, could have a serious knock-on effect on children.
"One thing that encourages low-income parents to care about their children's teeth, for which treatment is free, is to offer them free access to dental care as well," she said. "If they don't seek the help themselves they become less conscious of their children's needs."
She added: "There are quite a few families with complex needs who have mental health issues or learning difficulties and there is going to be a whole issue about how those groups navigate the new system."
The charity is now calling for passported benefits to be provided to all parents on universal credit, something Beynon argued is affordable, given how much it could cost to introduce new systems for determining eligibility for individual benefits.
A spokesman for the DWP said a decision is yet to be made on how the introduction of universal credit will affect entitlement to passported benefits.

For my Dad
Poem by: cmccoy
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
When I was little, my dad would say:
"You'll soon grow up and move away."
With him, I have smiled many smiles,
and for me he'd walk a million miles.
My hand was so small it'd fit in his palm.
I'm sure he misses that tranquil calm.
He was my protector and my strength.
Never letting me go beyond arm's length.
When I would fall and skin my knee
He would scoop me up and cradle me.
Even when I did something wrong
He never made me feel I didn't belong.
I have grown into an honest woman
Only because he was an honest lawman.
He has taught me moral and respect
To be kind and fair, though I'm not perfect.
My dad loves me as I am, no doubt.
He knows my heart and what I'm about.
He took careful and patient time with me
To make sure I'd be what he knew I could be.
So I say, "Never fear, Dear Dad,
You have raised me right, so don't be sad.
Though I may live very far away,
I will always be a Daddy's Girl, even today!

Three suspects were arrested and a fourth was cited after a police sweep at a residence in San Rafael.
The arrests occurred at 51 Arguello Circle near Point San Pedro Road, where detectives were seeking a parolee on a warrant, said police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher.
The parolee was not there, but police arrested Richard Thomas Kenney Jr., 32, who had an outstanding warrant for skipping court in a drug case, Rohrbacher said.
Police also arrested Stacey Gene Lazzarini, 32, on a no-bail warrant for having her probation revoked in a drunken driving case.
Police also arrested Rachel Leilani Salvador, 31, on suspicion of having methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in her room, Rohrbacher said. Salvador is also on probation in Sonoma County.
Christopher Robert Summers, 38, was cited and released after police found suspected drug paraphernalia and a stun gun in his possession.
Police did not release the name of the parolee who was the original object of the search.

Last Friday night, I was walking across an intersection in Manhattan. A cab driver was aggressively (99 percent of Manhattan cab drivers do everything aggressively) trying to turn right, and almost hit me.
Read Whole Story
If I have to hear or see "YOLO" one more time, I'm going to rip out my eyes and ear drums (not really, but I'm a big fan of hyperbole).
But you know what else I noticed? President Obama uses the word "folks" extremely often, maybe too often. He used the word "folks" 17 times in total. Romney used it three times; moderator Candy Crawley used it five.
Many of us are bothered by seemingly random words. Last year, we asked our readers to contribute the words they shuddered upon hearing, and they assailed "moist," "viscous," and "maggots," among others.
I stumbled upon this video today via Buzzfeed: reality TV star Lauren Conrad demonstrates how to chop up old, dusty books and turn them into a charming storage bin.
"Nauseous" and "nauseated" are two very commonly confused words. People often use "nauseous" when they mean "nauseated." For example, you WOULDN'T say, "I feel so nauseous right now" when you're trying to say, "I feel like I'm going to throw up right now."
Do YOU know how to use the phrase "begging the question"? No? That's okay; most people don't. It is commonly misused, as people typically confuse it with "raising the question." But that's simply incorrect. Why do people continue to use this confusing phrase if they don't know what it means?

Most of us want to learn a second language, and some of us actually need to learn a second language, but doing so as an adult can be difficult. If you have ever tried to learn and remember even a few phrases for a trip to another country, you might be frustrated finding out that you just can't communicate. Pimsleur courses are a new way of learning a second language and one that might just allow you to become virtually fluent in no time at all.
How Do Pimsleur Courses Work?
When you start to read about the Pimsleur courses, one of the first things that you will see is that this is an entirely audio course. What this means is that you will not be focusing on reading and writing at all – just speaking. This is the same way that you learned your primary language, and according to Dr. Paul Pimsleur who developed this course almost 50 years ago, it is the best way to learn your second language.
Is It Easy?
Learning a new language is never easy per se, but you can start to learn an entirely new language in just 10 days by using the Pimsleur courses. These are 30-minute audio programs, and you simply listen to one each day. They gradually build on themselves so that you will find yourself repeating phrases over and over again until you get them. By listening and repeating a language, rather than worrying about spelling, you will learn a lot easier.
The other benefit of this program is that you won't find yourself tied to your computer. Some online language courses can help you learn, but you will end up spending hours in front of your computer screen. With Pimsleur courses, you can pop a CD in your car, or take it with you and you can learn wherever you are, even when you are working out.
What Languages Can You Learn?
There is a huge variety of languages that you can learn when you use Pimsleur courses. First of all, you will be able to try Spanish, French, German, Hebrew, and Russian, but also various forms of Arabic, Chinese, and a variety of other Asian languages as well. Each course consists of four CDs that are designed to make you fluent in the language of your choice. When you order this program online, you will also get MP3 files that you can use so you can put your program right on your MP3 player.
–> Learn A New Language With Pimsleur Courses Now <–
How Do You Know That It Works?
With any program or product that you buy online, there is always a concern that you might get ripped off. But rest assured that the Pimsleur courses is a legitimate and world-renowned method of learning a language. When you order this online, you will not only get free shipping, but you will also get a full 30-day money-back guarantee. This should make you feel assured that you are getting something that will really help you.
"This program is a lot of fun and I think I might use it to learn another language, too."
Johnson, IA
"I had tried a lot of courses in the past and this is the only one that really stick for me."
Pamela, CA
Here is a video testimonial of a magician who successfully used Pimsleur courses to learn both French and Russian (note: Source volume was soft so please turn up your speakers in order to hear him):
Is This for You?
Instead of spending the next few years in a classroom, dealing with conjugation and trying to remember thousands of words, this is a unique approach to learning a language that will not only make it easier on you, but will enable you to speak fluently in the language of your choice in virtually no time at all.

2014 U-M Water Polo Schedule
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan water polo team released its 2013 schedule today (Monday, Oct. 21), consisting of 11 tournaments and three single games, including a home-and-home series against rival Indiana. In all, the Wolverines will host four events this season at Canham Natatorium.
U-M starts the 2014 campaign with the annual Michigan Kick-Off on Saturday, Jan. 18.
The Wolverines will largely split time between the coasts in 2014, traveling to California for the Stanford Invitational (Feb. 1-2), Posada Royale Invitational (Feb. 28-March 1) and CSU East Bay and Sonoma State mini tournaments (April 5-6) while heading east for the Bison Invitational (Feb. 15-16) and Harvard Invitational (March 8-9).
Michigan will play at Canham Natatorium on back-to-back weekends in March, hosting the annual Wolverine Invitational on March 15-16 before facing rival Indiana at noon on Saturday, March 29, for the second game in a home-and-home series. The Hoosiers host U-M at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22, in Bloomington, Ind.
Admission to all regular-season home events is free.
The Wolverines will also kick off the postseason at home, hosting the first-ever CWPA League Weekend. Taking the place of the Western Division Championship, the event will still feature games between CWPA division opponents.
Finally, Michigan will travel to Lewisburg, Pa., for the CWPA Championship, formerly the Eastern Championship, April 25-27, while the NCAA Championship is scheduled for Friday-Sunday, May 9-11, in Los Angeles, Calif.
Specific tournament games and times will be added as they are finalized.

The military has been significantly strained in recent years, primarily because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congressman Petri believes it is imperative that our troops serving abroad have access to the supplies and equipment necessary to complete their mission as effectively and safely as possible. It is also clear that there are parts of the defense budget that are extremely wasteful and inefficient, particularly in the defense procurement process. Congress must continue to work to find ways to meet the needs of our troops while also cutting unnecessary projects and programs, freeing up resources to be used more effectively in other areas.
The war in Afghanistan is now in its tenth year. With a security situation that seems to be worsening and no comprehensive political outcome yet in sight, many observers view the war in Afghanistan as open-ended. Signs of deterioration have included an expanded area in which militants are operating, increasing numbers of civilian and military deaths, Afghan and international disillusionment with corruption in the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and the ease of infiltration of Taliban militants from safe havens in Pakistan. Rep. Petri visited Afghanistan in 2008 and has no illusions about the challenges we face. Though much of Al Qaeda has been forced out to Pakistan, we must recognize that the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is porous and arbitrary. He wants us to leave as soon as possible, but if we leave too soon, we open up opportunities for the Taliban and for Al Qaeda to come back in. In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2012, Rep. Petri supported amendments that would either reduce or cut entirely funds for Afghanistan, Libya and Pakistan. He also supported amendments to reduce or eliminate the Afghanistan Infrastructure Fund. While Wisconsin suffers from infrastructure budget cuts, Rep. Petri cannot justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars on infrastructure in Afghanistan.
Current unrest in Libya began in February following revolts in other Middle Eastern nations. Allied forces, including the U.S., have offered limited assistance to rebel forces in the form of unmanned predator drones and air strikes, but President Obama has not committed U.S. ground troops. The War Powers Resolution allows the president to commit involvement of the U.S. military if our national security is threatened, provided that he notify Congress within 48 hours and that the forces may remain there for no longer than 60 days with an additional 30 day withdrawal period. Congress has the authority to formally declare war, which has been done only five times in history, the last time following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Congressman Petri would like to see a peaceful resolution to this revolution with freedom, democracy and stability established in Libya for the first time in decades. However, he also has serious concerns about any potential commitment of American military to Libya, and believes the President has not followed the law as required under the War Powers Act. Rep. Petri voted in support of resolutions requiring the President to provide a justification of our involvement in the Libya conflict and also for a resolution.
2012 Department of Defense Authorization:
On May 26, 2011, the House passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. This bill authorizes appropriations for military construction and other the Department of the Defense programs. The legislation also reaffirms that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with Al Qaeda and the Taliban and strengthens policies and procedures used to prosecute and detain terrorists captured under this banner. The legislation also includes a number of provisions to identify and prepare for future threats. The bill does not expand the war on terrorism or authorize force against Libya or Iran. Congressman Petri supported this bill, because he feels it is important to continue to fund our military, even while he supports planning for a responsible and timely withdrawal from Afghanistan.
