New Yosemite Indian war: Tribes fight over place in historyBreaking News
A statue of "Chief Lemee," who was actually an Indian park employee who danced in Miwok and Plains Indian regalia for visitors, occupies a place at the Yosemite park museum, as does a photo showing the ceremony. Members of the Paiute tribe contend the display, as well as others, are historically inaccurate.

Bieber's deposition was in connection with a lawsuit filed by a photographer, Jeffrey Binion, who claims that last June Bieber's bodyguards attacked him while he tried to take pictures of Bieber outside Miami's Hit Factory recording studio. Binion is represented by attorney Mark DiCowden.
DiCowden grilled Bieber about Gomez last week, and in new legal documents the reason is now clear. He wrote in the filing that he asked Bieber about Gomez because he believes she witnessed Bieber attacking a photographer in May of 2012, which sets a pattern of behavior that he hopes to prove.
The section of his deposition covering Gomez is embedded.
During the interview, Bieber went ballistic and walked out. Eventually, he came back.
It's unclear why he was acting lovesick. The day after the interview, on Friday, he and Gomez reunited.
In addition, DiCowden reportedly is asking the judge in the case to remove Bieber's lawyers on the grounds they were obstructing the interview.

States will have a new incentive to provide law enforcement with tools to solve felony crimes after President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law H.R. 6014, the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act of 2012.
Introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, the law is meant to encourage the collection of DNA profiles from people arrested for felony crimes.
"We've seen countless cases where someone has been arrested for a felony - they have not been given a DNA test - and then released back on the street to go back to committing violent crimes," Schiff said. "When they finally do get a DNA sample taken and they match up to prior crimes, you realize you could have prevented women from being raped or others from being murdered."
Under the law, states that agree to follow a regimen of DNA collection from felony arrestees can apply for funding from the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Reduction Act. Though the funding is limited to $10 million a year for the 2013 to 2015 fiscal years, the legislators hope that states will adopt policies to collect DNA profiles willingly.
Approximately half of the states including California already have legislation in place to collect DNA profiles from felony arrestees.
"It's my hope that many more states will see the benefits of collecting DNA and law enforcement agencies will solve cold cases and embrace the changes," Schiff said. "It's a cost-effective law enforcement process in removing people that go on to commit other offenses."
The bill, originally introduced by Schiff in 2010, was also sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, and Republican Rep. David Reichert of Washington state. It was named after a college student who was raped and killed in 2003 in New Mexico.
For three years, Jayann Sepich lived a mother's worst nightmare. Her 22-year-old daughter's killing remained unsolved, despite the DNA samples that investigators collected from Katie Sepich.
It wasn't until a DNA collection in 2006 that Katie's killer, who was serving prison time for a separate charge, was linked to the case.
The family became advocates for DNA collection from arrestees of felony crimes, eventually meeting with Schiff, who was working locally to raise funds to reduce the backlog of local DNA samples.
The database converts DNA information into a numeric ID, similar to a Social Security number, that does not record personal information like hair or eye color, Schiff said. There are also mechanisms in place to expunge the DNA from the system if the person is acquitted of the offense.
"DNA is the 21st century fingerprint," Schiff said. "The database collection can be done in a way that protects privacy but also protects people from violent crimes."

David Bell said teachers had "nothing to fear" if they followed the right guidelines.
However, teachers' unions disagree. The NASUWT advises its members to avoid school trips, as it says following procedures is no protection against being sued.
Would you send your children on a school trip? Does the cost of activities discourage families from sending children? Are schools and teachers afraid of litigation?
This debate is now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
The following comments reflect the balance of opinion we have received so far:
It is inevitable that unless teachers are protected against unjustified and often outrageous claims of negligence against them that out of school activities will simply no longer be available and the children themselves will be the losers. Don't blame the teachers who could lose their livelihood. Blame the education authorities who avoid their responsibility by not supporting their own employees and the parents who are hoodwinked by the current compensation culture that is destroying our whole way of life Robert Lever, Oldham, UK
I spent 5 weeks in the Australian outback with my school in the summer of 2002 (at a cost of £3000) and it was one of the most valuable experiences of my life. Yes, accidents happened - one girl got bitten and her leg became infected, but none of us sued because of it. Trips with schools, regardless of the scale, are invaluable as learning experiences.James McEnaney, Glasgow, Scotland
It was always accepted that accidents happen. But nowadays they've always become somebody else's responsibility/fault/negligence. I can't blame teachers for not wanting to risk their careers and local authorities not want to risk their pockets. Even following procedures doesn't help - no procedures can be designed to cover ALL possible situations, events, consequences etc and you can bet some solicitor will find the unplugged hole. It's the children who lose out by being denied these potentially rich experiences.Jenni, Cambridge
School trips with good supervision are a great idea but who can blame the teachers for their reluctance to take them. I'm sure there are lots of unscrupulous parents out there who would milk the system and damage the career of a good teacher because little Johnny scraped his knee. Lee, Castleford
School trips are a great way for children to learn and a well designed trip can make learning more fun. Of course care should be taken to ensure that the children return safely, but teachers should not have to fear they will be prosecuted unless they really are negligent. Proper supervision is important and it is vital that the children are taught to respect their teachers and follow instructions to avoid problems. Rachel, Farnborough, UK
I do not believe that climbing a mountain broadens a child's academic education per se. We send our children to school to be in a contained safe environment designed for learning how to read, write and do maths. I do not want my child engaging in potentially dangerous activities outside the school grounds without my supervision.Allison, UK
Once again schools and teachers are expected to make up for what parents fail to provide! First of all they are to become baby sitting services for working parents and now they are to provide holidays and days out too! Maybe parents could just drop off their kids when they are born and pick them up after they finish university! Let's encourage families to take on their roles and responsibilities and let schools and teachers concentrate on education - this is what they do best. Nathan, Cornwall
Yes, yes and yes. During my school years I travelled to France and Switzerland, learned to ski and experienced a brief part of parachute training. All things my parents could not, or were not likely to be able to, provide. All memorable experiences. Let children have similar opportunities and learn to take a few calculated risks.Barry Bailey, Basingstoke, England
I actively encourage my 8-year-old daughter to go not only on school trips but outings with the Brownies too. It would have to be an immense event for me to even consider suing our school or Brownie pack and also bear in mind that claimants are in effect attempting to cash in on the misfortune of their own child! I deplore the attitude of the NASUWT.Chris Green, Hagley, Worcs, England
It's no wonder that education in this country is considered to be second-rate if people like Trevor from Cambridgeshire continue to harp on about the use of 'their' taxes for broadening a child's education. I pay taxes too believe it or not and think that the best way in which to back-up learning and development in a classroom environment is for children to go on these trips/visits. To call them holidays is degrading and insulting to the teachers and parents that put the effort in to giving children as interesting and varied an education as the National Curriculum currently allows.Jon C, Swindon
School trips and adventure activities especially can teach children respect for each other and develop team building skills in a society that is increasingly isolated from all but their immediate group of friends and close family. An ideal time to meet people from all walks of life, and HAVE to get on and work with them.Edward Ridgway, Edinburgh
Yes, they should be going on school trips, but if I was a teacher I certainly wouldn't want to take kids on a trip in today's 'Sue You' culture, so until this culture changes school trips will be curtailed.Tim, UK
What amazes me is where they are now going. The furthest I went in secondary school (which was only ten years ago) was the nearest beach about 20 miles away to study the geology of cliffs. Now my nephew (who is 15) is to go on a school trip to NEW YORK! As much can be learned by going down the road as can be learned on the other side of the planet.Stephen, Cardiff
Absolutely. Putting kids outside what is familiar, beyond their comfort zone, is essential in developing their character. School trips are valuable for all, but especially for those whose parents cannot afford to take them on activity holidays or to national heritage sites, art galleries and museums. However, schools should have the right to deny such trips to children who unlikely to behave themselves, as they will not only make life miserable for everyone else on the trip but are also (literally) a liability.Heather, Stockport, UK
Also many of the trips offered do not seem to be strictly educational - they are more like adventure holidays which I think parents should arrange if that's what they want their children to take part in. The Duke of Edinburgh award scheme is a different matter, as it has 4 parts including service to the community, and the participation in this does not use up school time on the whole, and I support this movement whole-heartedly. But if the trip is not strictly related to the curriculum I question whether they should take place.Sarah Allen, Somerset, UK
I'm a teacher who has recently returned from a trip to Germany with a group of 14 yr olds. Despite laying down some clear rules about not going into town on their own, only if they are in a group, and informing a teacher if they want to go swimming so that we can ensure there is supervision, most of them disregarded these rules in about 2 seconds. Comments like "I'm paying £250 for this trip - you can't tell me what to do" sum it up really. I know that they are 14 years old, but at that age, I would have expected them to be able to take even a tiny bit of responsibility for themselves. That's the last time I volunteer for such a trip!M, Essex, UK
School expeditions should be almost obligatory. We are growing another generation of couch potatoes. Anything that encourages physical activity and a healthy interaction between individuals has to be encouraged. No activity with excitement can take place without a small element of risk and that risk is what builds character. P Smith, Claydon Suffolk
I have cut down on the number of off-site activities. The paperwork that has to be completed, the medical forms to collect to go past the school gate with a pupil even for a few minutes. The risk assessments, the cover lessons to plan, the insurance to arrange and the insurance forms to complete. The permission that has to obtained from the governing body. And all before you plan the educational activities of the field work, gallery visit or theatre trip! Rene, Berkshire
Should school trips be encouraged. Yes, New Zealand children spend one week on camp. Parents are also encouraged to help and encourage all types of outbound activities organised by group camp organisers similar to an Army assault course and other outdoor activities so long as they are manned well. These activities start at the age of approx 9. Older children go on more advanced courses i.e. making rafts, solving logic problems and cooking outside.Krys Byrne, Stafford
School trips are indeed one of the few things that can engage children when all else fails. However, I don't think it would be wise to encourage the activity while lines of responsibility have still to be clearly defined. There have been numerous disasters on such outings and which may well have been avoided with proper training and manageable numbers of pupils. When I was a sixth former we went on a survival week to Skye. After the hurricane hit on the first night and all the tents had been shredded we came home, having not survived at all. Schools and teachers cannot control the elements, but they should know when the elements are beyond their control.Fraser Irving, Sheffield, UK
The problem lies with parasitical lawyers who shamelessly exploit every situation in order to line their own pockets, combined with a mindless legal aid system which provides limitless amounts of taxpayers' money to bankroll their activities.Ron, Brit living in USA
School trips must be encouraged as they provide valuable social experience for developing young minds. However, there is a clear fear of litigation among teachers. At a recent former pupils' dinner at my school, I spoke with a teacher who was appalled at how threatened they feel by litigation. I was told that outdoor activity trips are almost a non-starter these days and if a pupil is to be kept back on detention, two teachers have to act as supervisors in case of vindictive claims of abuse or assault on them which can lead to immediate suspension even if the claims are utterly false. While the safety of the child is paramount, as sensible balance must be struck.M, Edinburgh, Scotland
Yes, school trips are a very valuable way of broadening pupils' learning experience. However the amount of red tape surrounding them in the modern litigation culture is unbelievable. My kids' primary school takes a group of year 6 pupils to an outward bound centre for a week each summer. The teacher in charge has to prepare a risk assessment document which is an inch thick; this then has to be approved by the LEA before they can even contemplate going. I can understand why some schools find it easier not to bother arranging outings.Simon Haven, High Wycombe, UK
This is just another example of the ridiculous practice that we seem to have inherited from the US of suing everyone and anyone. The trips I went on at school are some of my best memories. When I have children I don't want them to miss out on this. Also, what's the alternative? With the government being so keen to get parents back to work as soon as children can crawl, there's not much chance of the parents taking their children out to give them these experiences.Jackie, Hull, UK
Yes, they should be encouraged to widen views and perceptions. Staying in a school all day every day grows machines, not children. It will grow the next generation of recruitment consultants, which these days seems to be the most popular job on the market. But until we begin to open our eyes to this, we are going to degenerate into a society of bland, closed minded and cultureless simpletons.Sergio, Bristol UK
Only once pupils have mastered the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic should they be permitted to go on school trips. They attend school to be educated, not to go on holiday. I object that my taxes are used to give free holidays to children who whose grasp of grammar and punctuation is almost non-existent.Trevor, Cambs, UK
Trevor, Cambs: School trips are far from free. I have so far paid over £1000 to my son's state secondary school for trips and he's only 12. I do however feel that he benefits in so many ways from the opportunity that we are willing to make sacrifices in other areas to find the money.Val, Bristol UK
It is a very good idea that children go on school trips to broaden their horizons a bit. If I was a teacher though, there is no way I'd have anything to do with one. Increasingly spoilt children behave exactly as they see fit, while teachers following procedures get sued and lose their careers if any accident happens. Let the parents take the risks if they want their children to leave their seat in front of the TV.Chris, UK
Of course, they should be encouraged. We are in danger of turning our children into litigious stay-at-homes, who will have only a limited exercise level a limited social ability and a lack of appreciation of the natural worldRichard, Bridgend, Mid Glam
Yes, of course they should be encouraged. It is good for kids to see a bit of the country, get some fresh and air work together etc. It may start a hobby (e.g. hill walking) that will stay with them for life. They don't have to be dangerous, as long as the instructors are experienced and qualified (a teacher took 40 schoolgirls up a mountain in Scotland this summer, without proper clothing or a compass. Could have been a tragedy). Secondly, school trips help rural economies. Rob, Birmingham, UK
Yes of course. I took advantage of many school trips when I was at school and feel the better for it. I made new friends from different years and classes as well as touring the world. These subsidised holidays are many children's only opportunity to leave the minute part of the world they call home.Ed, London UK

Xander Bogaerts' growing pains at shortstop proving costly: 'Inside, it's just tough'
|08.17.14 at 9:08 pm ET
Much was made after the Red Sox' 8-1 loss to the Astros Sunday over a single ruling at second base that proved to be a game-changer.
With two on and one out in the top of the second inning, Marwin Gonzalez hit a ground ball that was fielded by Xander Bogaerts at short for what appeared to be a routine double play.
Bogaerts ran to second, threw to first and jogged with the rest of the team into the dugout with the inning seemingly over.
But it wasn't.
Astros manager Bo Porter challenged that the ball left Bogaerts' hand before touching the bag, which the replay proved to be true, giving Houston life in the second. Two batters later Jose Altuve lifted his first-career grand slam to give the Astros a commanding 6-0 lead.
The result didn't sit well with Red Sox manager John Farrell, who argued that teams are not allowed the review the front end of a double play at second base. The umpires told Farrell the play, which the skipper referred to as "the neighborhood play," was a reviewable play after receiving confirmation from replay officials in New York prior to Houston's challenge.
Farrell disagreed and was ejected for his response.
However, none of it would've mattered had Bogaerts made the play to begin with.
The rookie capped a troublesome weekend with his second fielding blunder in the last three days, amplifying questions about whether he has the instincts and feel for the game to be a major league shortstop.
On Friday, Bogaerts went to second base too late on a grounder his way instead of making an easy throw to first. His failure to record an out allowed the game-tying run to score in an eventual Red Sox loss.
Sunday's gaffe proved even more costly. Bogaerts said he knew right away that he stepped on the bag after the throw, but hoped it was something the umpires couldn't review. He said he was trying to make the play quickly in order to avoid Marc Krauss running into him at second to try to break up the play, which he affected the way he approached it.
"It's kind of something I knew I messed up right there," Bogaerts said.
The blow worsened for Bogaerts after the Astros added four more runs as a result.
"After Altuve got up and hit that grand slam, there's no worse feeling than that," he said.
When asked to describe what the last three days have been like for him, Bogaerts said, "You guys have no clue. Sometimes I hide it on the outside, but inside it's just tough."
Bogaerts' misplay epitomized more than just a forgettable weekend for him. The play outlined what has been a frustrating rookie season for the 21-year-old. Bogaerts has committed a team-high 17 errors, although only seven of them have come at shortstop. While his defense was expected to be a work in progress this year, his offensive numbers (.228/.296/.342) have been well below expectations.
Offensive production aside, Bogaerts' biggest challenge has been learning to become a major league shortstop. However, his coaches are confident in him and said they can see him progressing as an infielder.
"Some guys pick it up a little bit quicker than others, but the thing is he's getting repetitions," said third base coach Brian Butterfield, who coaches the infielders. "Repetitions are key. Every player in this clubhouse has learned through repetitions. Unfortunately, at times, Bogey is learning it at 21 at the major league level. That's tough. He's under the microscope, he's playing a very important position and things like that happen. But he'll be fine."
Butterfield said Bogaerts' struggles go beyond the physical aspects of the game. He said the two discuss mental elements such as body language and battling adversity on a regular basis. All he needs is more experience.
"We're all very pleased as a coaching staff on how far he has come in a short period of time from spring training to this point," Butterfield said. "He's worked real hard at his shortstop play. He worked very hard at third base before we moved him back. There's so much that goes into it. It's not just the physical preparation but it's also the mental stress that is involved during the course of the year. It's a tough position, there's a lot of failure involved.
"He's playing a very demanding position. Most young shortstops early in their career, whether it's in the minor leagues or the big leagues, struggle. He's going through a lot of things but he's also a very intelligent guy, he's got tough skin. He shows that he cares, he shows that he's very accountable and shoulders the burden when things go wrong. He'll get better for it."
Farrell echoed those sentiments, saying Bogaerts is "not going to get the experience at any other level. While he's been challenged at times, he's also been very good at times. Through these experiences I'm very confident he'll be better off for them."

All projects submitted on an LOI form are reviewed for eligibility. Eligible projects are then prioritized to create a Project Priority List (PPL). The PPL is used by Business Oregon's Infrastructure Finance Authority (IFA) to invite project applications and is included in the
Intended Use Plan (IUP)
that the state must submit to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval.
Sustainable Infrastructure Planning Project Priority List
The sustainable infrastructure planning project priority list reflects the final relative ranking of projects and activities reviewed for funding:
Public comments will be accepted for the proposed infrastructure planning PPL between:
Tuesday, April 11 to Thursday, May 11, 2017
Drinking Water Source Protection Project Priority List
The source protection project priority list reflects the final relative ranking of projects and activities reviewed for funding:
Public comments will be accepted for the proposed source protection PPL between:
Tuesday May 30 to Friday June 30, 2017
Infrastructure Project Priority List
The infrastructure project priority list reflects the final relative ranking of projects and activities reviewed for funding:
Public comments will be accepted for the proposed infrastructure PPL between:
Wednesday April 26 to Friday May 26, 2017
For the infrastructure project priority list, eligible projects are ranked based on the following six rating criteria areas:
Risks to human health and health protection;
Compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act;
Consolidation or partnership of two or more systems;
Drinking Water Source Protection;
Community affordability; and
Cost effectiveness.
Projects addressing risk to health, compliance, or consolidation place higher on the PPL.
The criteria used to establish funding priorities were adopted by Oregon under the Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) process and were approved by EPA.
Eligible projects are combined with projects from previous years to create a Comprehensive PPL. Combining the projects allows Oregon to better manage the loan fund and to assure that ready-to-proceed projects can get financing quickly. The Fundable PPL now includes a more robust project description to meet the needs of DWS, IFA and EPA. This allows EPA to conduct a preliminary review and approve the PPL, so that IFA can invite the highest ranked ready-to-proceed water systems to begin their funding processes earlier than usual.
Once on the PPL, projects that have been determined as to being ready-to-proceed with funding, regardless of ranking, may begin the lending process with IFA and their
Regional Coordinators
. The by-pass process allows ready-to-proceed projects that are lower on the PPL to be funded before projects higher on the PPL that are not ready to proceed. Projects, if not funded, can remain on the PPL for up to two years from the approval of the IUP.
2016 Project Priority List Results
For fiscal year 2016, 17 water systems submitted a LOI.
All 17 of the proposed projects were eligible.
Approximately $38 million in DWSRF assistance was requested to fund much needed infrastructure improvements through the 17 eligible projects.
Fifteen of the 17 eligible projects, or 88 percent, are for small water systems serving less than 10,000—a six percent increase from 2015. However, the number of eligible projects submitted was consistent with 2015.
To obtain copies of PPLs, contact Adam DeSemple, SRF Program Coordinator, at

Reviews for The BodyHoliday
Amazing holiday here booked through BA. Absolutely all inclusive, be as active as you like or relax as much as you like. The staff go out of there way to ensure you have the best time. Complimentary massages/treatments daily and outstanding food. No idea why anyone would give less than 5 stars!
tomgmcfarlane - London, United Kingdom
My wife and I stayed for 10 days in May and absolutely loved it. There are so many activities to choose from, the resort is beautiful, the staff are excellent and the food was delicious. In particular we thought Natascha the resident yoga instructor was very good. I'd only ever done a couple of classes about 6 years ago and wasnât all that taken with it but the ones at the BodyHolidy were much better. Once I understood what I was supposed to be doing I found the flowing movements with breathing physically challenging and somehow very emotionally grounding. We liked them so much we went every day and have since started classes at our local gym (sadly not quite as good). Bertha our cleaner was absolutely lovely. She was so friendly and always did our room at the same time. All of the included treatments we had were brilliant and I think the staff work incredibly hard. Readers will probably want to know the negatives and all I can think of is that our room was a little dated and could probably do with a new bathroom. Also, Iâm not sure if people with physical disabilities will be able to get around very well as there are lots of stairs. If you have mobility issues I suggest you call ahead. Younger visitors might find the lack of TV in the rooms unusual and it's worth noting that there is no wifi by the pool or beach. For us the digital detox was beneficial. Honestly thatâs it, they are in the process of renovating the rooms already. We liked it so much we debated whether we could go back this winter and if it wasnât for other commitments we would have.

My stay at the bodyholiday ticked all the boxes. This was quite possibly the best holiday I have ever had. From the welcome when you arrive, to the tiny attention to detail all the way through it was fantastic. I travelled on my own, for the first time, you meet in the evening in the piano bar and you are then taken by one of the bodyguards to the Communal table. I met some really great people and made some great friends, I never really ate alone the whole holiday always someone to share with, or alternatively on my own if I wished. There is so much to do with classes in Archery, Yoga, pilates, to name but a few. You can pack in as much or as little as you like. I tended to do classes in the morning, get my treatment, which was amazing and then beach in the afternoon after a light lunch,. round it all off with Yoga at the end of the night. The bodyguards are amazing, Sean, Gracoius, Mindy, Donna to name a few, Natasha the Yoga instructor and Tendal the Bhutanese massage expert really sorted my back out. The girl who cleaned my room each day and turned down my bed at night was also amazing (room 514) I had a garden room, which was clean well appointed and had everything I needed. I came to the bodyholiday, tired, run down and left refreshed energized and happy with a lot of new friends. I cant wait to come back again next year. No wonder people want to come back, I didn't want to leave!
bigdel5412 - Strathaven, United Kingdom
I visited the body holiday in May of this year for a week with friends. It was the best holiday ever. So relaxing, every whim catered for and the highest level of customer service. The staff were amazing, the quantity and quality of classes and activities immense and fabulous choice of food and drinks. Three downsides; the journey from airport is about 1hr 30 mins, don't forget mosquito spray, and whilst it is called the body holiday I didn't come back thinner.... though that might be to do with the copious amount of cocktails and lovely food...
Stakit - London
What an absolutely brilliant place; truly a vacation for body and soul, where you can be as active or as idle as you like. I can see why the majority of the guests were âreturnersâ. Itâs not Middle East/Far East 5* blingtastic luxury but the outstandingly high customer service means you can forgive everything else (including not having air con for 3 days which left my room smelling musty, my clothes dank and the bed very damp â hence the rating). Superb tennis and swim stroke coaching. The atmosphere is wonderful, the facilities excellent and the food options very good. A really easy and most welcoming place if travelling on your own. Iâve already booked a return visit next year. Donât forget to pack high factor sunscreen and plenty of mosquito repellent â the sun and bugs were merciless. The wi fi worked well and the ocean front/view rooms had wonderful outlooks but are slightly more worn than the newly renovated garden view rooms. My meal at Tao restaurant was absolutely delicious. Thank you again to all the fantastic staff and management for a fabulous experience. I canât wait to do it all again.

NHRA Funny Car: Capps takes out BIR fan favorite for title
Ron Capps turned out to be the force in the finals of the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals Sunday at Brainerd International Raceway.
Capps capped off a successful weekend as he beat track favorite John Force for the Funny Car title with a pass at 4.134 and 304.05 mph. Force, bidding for an incredible 12th win at BIR, went 6.633 at 116.35 mph as he smoked his tires early and often.
Entering the weekend second in season points, Capps heads to Indianapolis with the points lead. Force entered the weekend ninth in points.
"Force is cagey, he's good here," Capps said. "He could be having the worst year ever and he still could come here and win, he has that good feeling here.
"I was doubtful we were going to get a win. He was on a roll. You put a guy in that situation like John Force and he knows how to take it to the next level.
"I looked for him at about 800 feet but he wasn't next to me, and we got the win light."
Force gave Capps his start in drag racing. He helped Capps learn how to drive a Top Fuel car and Capps still considers Force his mentor.
"He took me under his wing," Capps said. "I was going to be the driver of his first-team car, but it didn't work out. I still consider him to be one of my best friends out here. I used to get calls from him at 2 in the morning. Now that he's calmed down I get his calls at 9 at night.
"If there's a driver out here ... just because John's been in an accident, and he's got some age on him, that they will have an advantage at the starting line, they've got a lot coming to them. He's as good as anybody out here, if not better. He's sharp. He can pull every trick in the book."
On his way to the finals, Capps defeated Courtney Force in the opening round and Dodge Charger teammates Johnny Gray in the quarterfinals and Matt Hagan in the semifinals.
Capps, the fifth seed, zipped to his third win of the season, his third at BIR, and the 36th win of his career.
In the quarterfinals, sixth-seeded John Force stunned the crowd when he fouled (red-lighted) at the start against 11th-seeded Alexis DeJoria. Force, however, received a gift pass to the quarterfinals when DeJoria was disqualified.
About halfway down the drag strip, DeJoria nearly lost control of her car and was nearly sideways when her back tire touched the center line, signifying instant disqualification. That sent Force to the quarterfinals where he upset No. 3 Cruz Pedregon and to the semis where he eliminated No. 2 Tim Wilkerson. Also in the quarterfinals, No. 16 Hagan eliminated top-seeded Jack Beckman.

S&P Picks and Pans: Apple, IndyMac, Red Hat, Adobe
Apple Inc. (AAPL; $132.97)
Upgrades to 4 STARS (buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Scott Kessler
The upgrade is based on valuation. The shares have fallen some 10% from highs established last week, following June-quarter results that exceeded our forecasts. Although we continue to remain skeptical about near-term prospects for the iPhone, we think Apple will continue to take market share in desktops and notebooks, and succeed with its digital media strategy with iPods and iTunes. Also, given the current economic and market environments, we think companies/stocks with strong brands, sustainable long-term growth prospects, and solid balance sheets, like Apple, should outperform. Our 12-month target price remains $170.
IndyMac Bancorp (IMB; $20.55)
Downgrades to 2 STARS (sell) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Stuart Plesser
Our downgrade is based on concerns about the magnitude and protraction of the U.S. housing market decline. We believe falling home prices and stagnant sales will necessitate additional writedowns of IndyMac's securities held, higher provisions for loans held from already elevated second quarter levels, and narrower gain-on-sale margin in coming quarters. Although we think IndyMac is well capitalized, a protracted housing slump could result in a dividend cut. We are lowering our 12-month target price by $4 to $18, 7.7 times our 2007 EPS estimate of $2.35 (lowered today from $2.50), below historical levels.
Red Hat (RHT; $20.32)
Upgrades to 3 STARS (hold) from 2 STARS (sell)
Analyst: Jim Yin
The upgrade is based on valuation and follows a decline in the share price to below our 12-month target price, which we are keeping at $22. We remain concerned about slower growth in billings due to increased competition, and a more difficult year-over-year comparison after one year of acquiring JBoss. Additionally, sales of Linux server grew at a slower rate than Windows servers last quarter for the first time in several years. However, we view Red Hat shares as fairly valued at current levels. We are maintaining our EPS estimates for fiscal 2008 (Feb.) and fiscal 2009 at 36 cents and 53 cents, respectively.
Adobe Systems (ADBE; $39.40)
Upgrades to 4 STARS (buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Zaineb Bokhari
The upgrade is based on valuation. Adobe shares have declined by about 11% since the company reported May-quarter results, and we think they now offer attractive upside to our 12-month target price of $48, which is based on relative and intrinsic valuation. While shares trade at a premium to S&P 500 software peers, the company is at the start of a major product upgrade cycle. We also think Adobe has considerable long-term potential for growth through its small but growing mobile and devices business segment. We are maintaining our EPS estimates of $1.35 for fiscal 2007 (Nov.), and $1.58 for fiscal 2008.

text: Have any of you bought your V's at the end of the lease? I have an 07 STS V and I just checked my paperwork and the option to buy price on my lease is 47900 in September 2010! Car has 10K miles right now but cant be worth any more than mid to high 30's right now, never mind in 1 year! I would love to buy it at lease end but I cant see GMAC dropping the price by almost 15K to reflect the actual market value of the car . Any thoughts?

TOKYO, Oct. 2 (Xinhuanet) -- One Japanese people was killed and four others
injured in Saturday's bomb blasts on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, Kyodo
News reported Sunday.
The 51-year-old Japanese tourist, who was confirmed dead earlier in the day by the Japanese Embassy in Jakarta, may be a university employee in north Japan's Aomori Prefecture, Kyodo said.The victim's family has departed for Bali to identify the remains.
Japanese Foreign Ministry spokesman Yoshinori Katori denounced the bomb
blasts. "The government of Japan reiterates its firm condemnation of atrocious
terrorism that victimizes many innocent people," he said at a press conference

Describing the Bali bombings as constituting "meanness and inexcusable
acts", Katori added, "Terrorism cannot be justified for any reason."
Powerful bombs ripped apart three restaurants packed with diners on
Indonesia's resort Bali island Saturday night, killing at least 26 people and
injuring more than 127 others, including foreigners.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer on Sunday said thenumber of
Australians killed and 17 others were injured in Saturday night's bombings.
Meanwhile, according to the South Korean Foreign Ministry on Sunday, eight
South Korean tourists were confirmed injured in the bomb blasts.

inspect the scenes of bomb blasts.
This is the second largest bomb blast in last three years. On Oct. 12, 2002, Bomb blasts occurred in Bali, killing 202 people, mostly Australian vocationers. Enditem

Press Release - The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
Press Call: Southern Voters and Advocates Discuss Real Need for the Voting Rights Act
Monday, Feb. 25 at 10:30 AM EST/9:30 AM CST, Two Days before Supreme Court Arguments in Shelby County v. Holder and Voting Rights Rally
For Immediate Release
Contact: Shin Inouye, 202.869.0398, firstname.lastname@example.com
February 22, 2013
Here's an MP3 of of this call: http://www.civilrightsdocs.info/audio/press-calls/VRASouthPressCall.mp3
WASHINGTON, DC – On Monday, February 25 at 10:30 AM/9:30 AM CST, legal experts, civil rights leaders and an impacted voter will hold a conference call about the real and continuing need for the Voting Rights Act (VRA) to protect voters in covered jurisdictions in the South. This call is the third in a series of regionally focused press briefings on the importance of this landmark law for voters around the country. Prior briefings have addressed protecting voting rights in Texas and in Indian Country.
The briefing will occur just two days before the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Shelby County v. Holder, a case challenging the constitutionality of Section 5 of the VRA. Civil rights leaders, Members of Congress, activists, students and advocates from all over the country plan to rally at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court during the argument in support of voting rights (see more information at http://www.protectthevra.org/ and http://www.todaynvr.com/).
The challenge to Section 5 of the VRA has far-reaching implications for the law's ability to protect voters in covered areas throughout the country, and in jurisdictions in the South in particular. For voters in southern states covered by Section 5, these protections have been vital for generations and are still crucial today. New videos show examples of the recent attempts to discriminate against voters based on race that were stopped by Section 5 in South Carolina and Alabama before the 2012 election.
Nationally, the Voting Rights Act was used to reject more than 1,000 proposed discriminatory voting changes between 1982 and 2006. In addition, hundreds of voting changes were withdrawn by covered jurisdictions after an initial request for more information from the Department of Justice.
- Wade Henderson, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and a key organizer of the rally outside the Supreme Court on February 27
- Ryan Haygood, Director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund's Political Participation Group
- Calvin Henderson, a voter from Pitt County, NC whose rights were protected by Section 5 in 2012
- Alabama State Senator Hank Sanders, a key organizer of the 2013 Freedom Rides for Voting Rights
WHAT: Press call on why Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is vital to voters in the South in advance of Supreme Court argument and rally in landmark case
WHEN: Monday, February 25 at 10:30 AM EST/9:30 AM CST
CALL-IN INFO: 866-952-1907, Verbal Passcode: "VRA"

Do you think it's a Hematoma? It's not hard and a little painful. Surgery 4 days ago. (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
The picture is not so good. The surgical area have some edema ( natural in this fase) , equimoses in the skin. Is difficult to define if this is an hematoma or seroma. Is better to return to your doctor and cheek this.
Its very difficult to say without an exam. Its not uncommon to get bruising around the incision site following an augmentation which is most likely what you are seeing. However if your breasts feel different and one side is more swollen,tender and harder you could be dealing with a hematoma. I suggest you contact your surgeon.
Good luck.
kind regards,
Good luck.
kind regards,
Do you think it's a Hematoma? It's not hard and a little painful. Surgery 4 days ago.
Always best, to have your plastic surgeon evaluate your situation. Most likely, having said that, you are dealing with a bruise. This should resolve with time. Again, your surgeon will be your best resource. Best wishes.

I think that this is worthy of investigation just in and of itself. The type of traffic you describe is highly irregular.

I have often found that these features can produce other interesting anomalies in your network analysis. It can often pose an interesting conundrum when analysing traces from multiple locations.

I can understand your stance. In this time of constant global issues it is reasonable to be interested to investigate even what seems to be benign to most of us.
It may be worthy to spend some time looking into other analysis tools, such as network visualisation aids etc.

Yes this is valuable information and has served me well in the past.

Sometimes it may not be just the packet contents themselves that is interesting. Maybe the packets and their arrival on the network signifies more than a mere Googling can provide.
Just some food for thought!

This has happened to me once before, but I have a friend at school who is very nice to me, but she just irritates the hell out of me. It's not a bipolar irritation type of thing, I'm not sure what it is. It happened once before with a girl I worked with who I was "supposedly friends with", as far as she knew, but every single thing she did and said drove me CRAZY! I tried to talk about it with Mark at dinner on Friday, what she was saying and doing that was making me so irritated, and he just looked at me blankly and said "I guess it's a girl thing?" It really doesn't seem rational when I talk about it to someone, so I'm not sure what the underlying cause is. Can't some people just ANNOY you, just because? It's not that I don't like her, she just has a way of getting under my skin, and I can't figure out why. She's a very pretty girl, outgoing, lots of friends, but here's where I could deviate and start to list what annoys me. It's not jealousy, I definitely don't want to be her or like her in any way, form or fashion. It's just small things that really shouldn't matter, yet they do, and boy do they. It's mostly what she SAYS, and when she says certain things, I have to concentrate so hard on my facial expression not to give myself away, even thinking of the expression in my eyes, because I know what my mind is thinking and if I'm not really careful it will be totally obvious how I feel, and I don't want that. But she says things out of nowhere and I have no warning, so it's tricky.
My husband and I are getting along much better these days. He doesn't talk about his individual counseling, but I think he goes once a month. I'd rather not know about it, anyway, and don't ask much about it. Our marriage counseling appointment is coming up sometime soon, but I have no idea when. I already told him I didn't want to go to her ever again (probably several times), so I'm curious if he'll even remind me when the time comes. It makes me very happy that he's doing something to improve himself personally (instead of always professionally). I think just about everyone could be better with a bit of counseling some time in their lives.
I've been slacking off on my running - it is SO FREAKING HOT OUTSIDE! I think it was at least 107 degrees today, but of course I wouldn't have run at the hottest point of the day. We've been getting up much, much earlier on Saturday mornings to run on the trail, but I just can not run the whole time. I get too hot, and now I can't make myself get out the front door before school to run between 5-6 am. I liked it much better in the winter and spring when it was so much cooler. So yes, my weight loss has slowed down, but I'm not sure if that is because I weigh less now or because I run less. When I run four miles, I now only burn 250 calories. I mean REALLY? 250 calories? However, I think it does speed up my metabolism at least. I still have 16 pounds to lose to 125, my first goal. For my height - 5'6", I think that is about right. If I can get there, I will possibly try for 115 - I think that is when I have looked my best in the past.

There's a mind-bending quality to the Super Bowl. Indeed, several mind-altering characteristics. As soon as the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos qualified for Super Bowl XLVIII (that's 48 for those struggling with Latin numerals) the jokes began about this being Weed Bowl 48 because the protagonists just happen to come from the two states which have legalized marijuana.
Now, it is doubtful that the availability of recreational marijuana in Washington and Colorado is what got these two teams to the pinnacle of the National Football League season. Indeed, the properties of cannabis are the very opposite of what an NFL player needs. In a very real sense, however, the drug actively worked against the Seahawks' Super Bowl campaign: Seattle's cornerback Brandon Browner will be missing from the big game having been banned for a year for drug use, understood to have been marijuana. The authorities would probably have been more lenient if he had been repeatedly doing something much less dangerous like, say, drinking and driving.
So, a key Seattle player is banned from his job for taking a substance that is legal in the state in which he lives and plays and which is not performance enhancing. This is a debate a corporate entity like the NFL doesn't want to get dragged into. Even more than that, the NFL would rather not get into any discussion about the Seahawks and drugs.
While Browner is banned for recreational drug usage and for a year, his case is not typical of a wider drugs issue at the Seahawks and across the National Football League. For those keen to see players stopped from gaining an unfair advantage via performance enhancing substances, a suspension of a year would seem suitably harsh. Except Browner was banned for this long because it was a second offence. And it wasn't for a performance enhancing substance.
Since 2011, six Seahawks players have been given four-game suspensions for violating the sport's drugs policies. Guard John Moffitt is understood to have tested positive for prescription drug Adderall, an amphetamine used in the treatment of attention deficit disorder. (Moffitt has since quit the game altogether). Offensive lineman Allen Barbre and cornerback Winston Guy, both of whom are no longer with Seattle, each served four-game drug-related suspensions. Defensive end Bruce Irvin missed four games this season after breaking the league's drug rules, as did another cornerback, Walter Thurmond. For those not familiar with NFL positions, many of these are very big guys doing a lot of pushing and shoving, and almost all play on the defensive side of the team, a key component in the Seahawks' success.
We know few specific details about their drug taking because the NFL does not disclose details in an attempt to give these incidents as little publicity as possible. But the case of another Seahawk who has come to national prominence sheds a little more light. Overexcited cornerback Richard Sherman has been debated endlessly this past week for a 30-second post-game TV interview after his team qualified for the Super Bowl.
But last year Sherman was banned for four games for using performance enhancing drugs before he appealed and had his ban rescinded. Afterwards he had this to say:
Half the league takes Adderall (although obviously not Sherman!). That is quite some claim. Perhaps it's a distraction tactic: it's not just Seattle players that are "cheating"? Or maybe – and TV rant aside, Sherman has done a decent job of showing that he's a thoughtful guy this week – it's somewhere near the truth and ought to have been a launchpad for what could be an open and honest debate about drugs in sports.
"About half the league takes [Adderall] and the league has to allow it. The league made a mistake in my case. Obviously, I didn't do anything, but you have to go through a process to prove you didn't do anything. There are still naysayers out there who don't believe me. But I accept it. If everybody loves you, it probably means you're not much of a player."
There is some evidence to support Sherman's claim: Adderall has been linked to the suspensions of Tampa Bay cornerback Eric Wright, New England corner Aqib Talib and defensive end Jermaine Cunningham, Green Bay defensive end Mike Neal, New York Giants safeties Will Hill and Tyler Sash and more. Players are aware that Adderall use is permitted by the NFL – provided the proper paperwork has been filed with the league office. Giants running back Andre Brown had a four-game PED suspension overturned after he failed to disclose his Adderall prescription to the league office.
But there are many barriers to understanding further, not least the NFL's refusal to publicly divulge or comment on the specific substances that trigger positive test results.
But here is a drug that is on the edges of the sport's legality, and that is a powerful stimulant, which increases physical strength, stamina and endurance. Ie a perfect substance for people playing a fast, hard, physical sport. Would the NFL prefer that players don't take drugs? Probably. Does the NFL want an action-packed entertaining sport? Yes. Does players taking drugs make the latter more likely?
Sadly, yes. Just like Major League Baseball during its "steroids era" – when pumped up players raced to break the game's most famous records – the NFL knows that the fans love what they see. Players taking drugs is part of the price of that. Baseball then and football now can't be seen to condone the use of performance enhancing substances, but they certainly don't want to become embroiled in the stench that would result in banning half the league's players.Not so long ago the NFL thought it had extricated itself from an even worse stench: that it was slowly killing its players. With perfect timing – just before the season started – the NFL agreed a $765m peace deal with former stars of the game over allegations that players are suffering long-term debilitating consequences from repeated concussions. And that the league knew about the dangers but did its best to cloud the issue and stymie research. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) causes a very different – and permanent – form of mind-altering to marijuana.
$765m looks like a very big number at first glance and the ex-players agreed the settlement. NFL executives could allow themselves the quiet feeling of satisfaction of a problem solved. It took a judge to point out that $765m (in total) isn't actually enough – either in terms of the NFL's revenue ($9bn last year and growing) or in terms of the number of players who may have been affected. The NFL hasn't even accepted liability in the settlement, so is not staring down the wrong end of precedent for future litigation.
Judge Anita Brody's decision to reject the proposed settlement less than three weeks before the Super Bowl ensured that this issue is back in the national conversation at just the wrong moment for the NFL. The Super Bowl is the NFL's showpiece, the day when the nation stops to watch a game of football. Half of the US will be watching the only game of football they will watch all year. And probably not watching that much of the game itself (who do you think will be watching Bruno Mars at half-time?).
The occasional fans drawn to the occasion will be enjoying the half-time entertainment, thrilling to the best ads that the Mad Men can create, and maybe watching a little of the game. The NFL's worst nightmare would be for those non-loyalists to spend the game debating how they feel about players damaging their brains to entertain us.
NFL might be the behemoth of US sports today but it really wasn't that long ago that it wasn't. And it is a business that is hungry for more growth. Were some of the grimmer realities of this gladiatorial sport to become the prevailing view, then the NFL has a long way to potentially fall. The NFL doesn't like to talk about the drugs that players take. The NFL doesn't like to talk about concussions either. The NFL would like us to shut up and enjoy the show.

Although it might not particularly sound all that impressive beyond the laundry list of hardware expected to be on board with the handset, we're presented with the confirmation that it'll be supporting the Bluetooth 3.0 standard. Moreover, it features some of the common items you'd expect to see nowadays – such as support for A2DP 1.2 and hands-free profile 1.5. Moreover, it was found being approved back on July 14th.
Besides the monster 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM it's rumored to be packing for the ride, it's also said to incorporate the latest Adreno 220 GPU as well. So far, the rumors have it on track for an October 6 release date.

[Bertis Downs How the Industry Has Changed]
How is the industry different right now than it was our generation, about a generation ago, 20-25 years ago? It's a completely different world as I alluded to a minute ago. We didn't even have a fax machine when we started. That was really in the distant horizon, to be able to get this thing over the phone lines that would be in writing. That just seemed really, really technologically advanced when we finally got a fax machine somewhere in the mid to late '80s, I guess, whenever that was. I say that only because, obviously, the world has changed so much from a technological standpoint over the last years. And the way that's affected music and content industries in general or intellectual property has been huge.
Bands, when we were starting out, we used to think of it as sort of there were four possible income sources. There'd be touring. And part of touring would be merchandizing. Maybe people would want to buy t-shirts or something, or posters. And then there'd be records and there'd be publishing. And now, those four things exist, but there's all these other possibilities, too. And all these things are kind of shifting around in terms of importance and possibilities. I think the goal when a band is just starting out now is exactly what it was when we were starting out: grow. Well, do great music, have a career, have a following, build fans, fan base, spreading popularity. So a lot of that's the same way. There's just so many more options now.
I remember a few years ago hearing about ring tones. Oh, right, like that's gonna be a big deal. Well, it is. It's a huge deal. When we first got started out, videos pretty much had not been – they were right in the very early stages of making videos. Videos became a really important medium for marketing music kind of in our early '90s period with Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts and some of those. They're less important now. But they're still really important overseas. They're still really important in places that you're probably not gonna get to on tour than they are here for us.
So it's just kind of a, again, to use the term balancing act. I think of bands starting out now in a lot of ways have it a lot harder because there's so many choices to be made. But they have those choices and they can decide how much emphasis are they gonna put on touring? How much emphasis are they gonna put on recording? We had a kind of a conscious decision early on not to do anything involving commercials, endorsements, that kind of stuff. Bands are less concerned about that kind of stuff now. Arguably, fan bases are less concerned about it because people accept it. People compete to get on a particular commercial so that people will – it's just another avenue for exposure.
I'm not saying that's wrong at all. That's sort of the reality of the world now. For REM, that still seems wrong to us. Sort of something about it doesn't seem right about associating a particular song with a brand or a product. And so it's something that we still don't do. But just the world changes and you just try to keep up in a lot of ways.

KNOXVILLE -- Radford wouldn't go down without a fight Saturday, but the Tennessee baseball team pulled away late to post a 10-4 win at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Eli Iorg and Josh Alley both homered for the Volunteers, who recorded 14 hits to the Highlanders' nine.
The Vols (13-3) now have a 10-game winning streak that is tied for longest in NCAA Division I-A. Alley's four RBIs on the day give him eight in the series, which comes to a close Sunday at 2 p.m.
Iorg crushed a solo home run to left field in the bottom of the first inning to open the day's scoring. It was his second homer in as many days and his fourth of the season.
In the second inning, Tennessee junior Kelly Edmundson scored from third as freshman Julio Borbon reached on a fielder's choice.
Radford plated its first run when catcher Nate Toth scored on a throwing error following a basehit by center fielder Steve Mignogna in the top of the third. The Highlanders logged another run in the fourth inning when Kellen Wohlford crossed home on a basehit by left fielder Jonathan Spears. That run knotted the score at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the inning.
Senior first baseman Alex Suarez knocked in Edmundson with a double down the left line in the bottom of the fourth to put the Vols back on top. Borbon then came up and singled to right field, allowing Michael Rivera and Suarez to score and give the Vols a 5-2 advantage. Borbon finished the day 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored.
The Tennessee lead was then stretched to five runs on a two-run homer to left field by Alley. The junior's second home run of the season closed out the Vols' five-run fourth inning.
Wohlford sent a double deep to right field for Radford in the top of the eighth, allowing Ross to score from second. Radford's next batter, Aaron Ranft singled to drive in Wohlford and bring the Highlanders within three.
But the Vols pulled away in the bottom of the eighth, courtesy of a double down the left line by Alley that scored Suarez from second and Borbon from first. Alley's eighth double of the year put the Big Orange up 9-4. Alley proceeded to steal third base before coming home on a sacrifice fly by Iorg.
Sean Watson picked up the win for Tennessee and improved to 4-1. The sophomore from Miami, Fla., set a new career-high with 10 strikeouts while working seven innings and allowing two runs on six hits with no walks. Senior Rob Fitzgerald -- Tennessee's starting first baseman in Friday's series opener -- came on in relief in the top of the eighth and surrendered a pair of runs on three hits in one full inning worked.
UT senior Chris Howell remained steady in his closer's role. After walking RU's first batter in the top of the ninth, Howell finished things off with two strikeouts and a groundout.
Radford starting pitcher Justin Morgan dropped to 0-3 on the year after allowing seven runs on eight hits with two walks and one strikeout in five innings on the hill. Morgan was replaced by Casey Hodges, who tossed 2 2/3 innings before giving way to lefty Mark Beppler.
Sunday's series finale features freshman left-hander James Adkins (2-1, 2.15 ERA) taking the mound for the Vols. Radford's starting pitcher will be right-hander Josh Deaver (0-0, 6.23 ERA).
