A/N: I don't own Hogan's Heroes and I don't get paid for this; it is truly a labor of love.
Crittendon's version of "The Assassin". Some lines of dialogue from the episode are included.
Upon my return to Stalag 18, I was not at all surprised to find that Kommandant Schubert considered me persona non grata at his camp. Apparently he viewed me as incorrigible for attempting an escape from Stalag 13, which everyone knew was escape-proof. And if that insufferable Colonel Klink wanted nothing to do with me, then neither did he.
So arrangements were made to send me along to Stalag 16. And, as a parting shot, Kommandant Schubert informed me that my brother Nigel was now a prisoner of war at Stalag 2.
Those Jerries could be rather snide, don't you know. Old Schubert took a positive delight in apprising me of Nigel's fate: apparently my brother, who was attached to the British Eighth Army, had been captured in Tunisia some weeks before.
A blow to the Allies, indeed! Nigel was always the clever one of the family, and was something of a military genius; he had told me once of a remarkable plan he had for recruiting partisans in occupied countries and arming them with improvised weapons. He had based his plan on extensive research of the Peninsular War of the past century, and of the guerrilleros of the Spanish countryside who had valiantly fought off Napoleon's troops during that conflict.
And now his brilliance was to be wasted in a ruddy German prison camp! Naturally, I did not allow my dismay to show on my face; I scorned to give Schubert that satisfaction. Stiff upper lip and all that, don't you know. Instead, I accepted my new assignment to Stalag 16 with all the composure I could muster.
And a jolly bunch they were at Stalag 16, to be sure, but not quite the calibre of my comrades at Stalag 18. Quite lax in the escape department they were, as I soon discovered. The Escape Committee was half French and half English, and it appeared they could agree on nothing. But I had had a taste of freedom when the bally fence at Stalag 13 came down, and I was determined to escape in earnest, despite the Committee's rather Laodicean attitude.
I was taking a late night toddle about the compound and pondering my next move, when who should appear but a couple of lads from Hogan's group, clad all in black and creeping along the fence in a most surreptitious manner. They said they had come to collect Sergeant Gareau, one of the recently captured French chaps. A bit of luck for me, what? I led them to Gareau, and of course I insisted on coming along on their adventure. It was an ingenious scheme they had planned (one could scarcely believe they had broken into Stalag 16, after all), but they clearly lacked leadership: not an officer among them!
At this point in my narrative I am obliged to pause, and admit that I had another reason for insisting on joining their little band. I had reached the altogether unwelcome conclusion that I could never successfully escape on my own, and I viewed the arrival of young Carter and LeBeau as my golden opportunity. Unworthy of me, of course. I shall always hang my head in shame when I think of the proud military heritage of the Crittendons, and how I failed to uphold our noble tradition when I grasped at the chance for escape. Especially when I consider the consequences...
However, the thing was done, and right speedily, too. Hogan's men did not appear excessively pleased to have me along, but I reminded them of my rank, don't you know, and soon we were outside the wire and on our way to jolly old England.
Or so I thought. But my keen sense of direction soon informed me that we were headed on a southeasterly course, not at all the way of reaching the coast! I had just paused to reassess the situation when young Carter approached me respectfully.
"Colonel Crittendon!" he whispered, practically falling at my feet.
"Group Captain, actually," I said with a sigh, and then I gave him a severe look. "What's the hold-up, Carter?"
The lad confessed he wasn't sure which way to go, and I confess I was a trifle impatient with him. Deucedly frustrating it was, just when I had thought Carter had the whole escape notion figured out. "Out of Germany, man!" I told him, with a touch of asperity. "The quickest way possible!"
Carter hesitantly replied, pointing eastward: "But you see, we thought that if you'd go out that way, see, and reconnoitre..."
"That's not the way at all!" I said roundly. "It's lucky I came on this escape; you've been turned around since we left Stalag 16."
"Yes, sir," he said. "Sure was lucky." But I had the oddest impression that he thought it wasn't lucky at all.
I said firmly, "Just follow me, man!"
I led the way through the woods, and we had gone but a few yards when my unbelieving gaze fell on what seemed to be yet another prison camp! There were four Jerries at the gate who started shouting in German and firing their ruddy machine guns in our direction.
"Oh, blast!" I said, for at a time such as this, I am certain one might be pardoned the use of forceful language.
With all the gunfire and dogs barking and whatnot, I was quite taken by surprise when someone or something caught me round the waist and dragged me down into a hole in the ground. Most irregular, I assure you.
The next thing I knew I was in a tunnel. Once I had dusted myself off, I looked at the chap who had dragged me underground, and was surprised to note that he was Sergeant Kinchloe, another of Hogan's men. He appeared to be as surprised as I, and, I am afraid, not at all pleased when he recognised me. In fact, he looked rather annoyed.
"I don't believe it," he muttered.
Young Carter and Corporal LeBeau had followed me down the ladder, and LeBeau said, in a rather ominous tone of voice, "Ah, believe it, Kinch! He insisted on coming with us."
I looked all around me, marvelling; the tunnel was nothing at all like the one Carter and Newkirk had helped me to dig. "This is most impressive! Where are we, chaps?"
Sergeant Kinchloe growled, "We're under Stalag 13." He looked at his two comrades. "Where's Gareau?"
LeBeau flicked me a rather unpleasant look and said, "He was struck by a bullet and the guards captured him."
Carter looked a trifle anxious. "Colonel Hogan sure won't be happy about this."
Kinchloe sighed. "You got that right. But no sense in putting off giving him the bad news. Come on, Colonel, we'll take you to him now."
He led the way through a maze of tunnels and I took in the sights with a sense of wonder. There was a room that held a shortwave apparatus, and a room full of clothing (Jerry uniforms apparently), and a room containing guns, ammunition and what looked like rather a nice selection of explosive devices. We finally reached another ladder, and we all climbed up. I brought up the rear, eventually emerging into one of the prisoners' barracks.
And there was Colonel Hogan, in the flesh.
"Hogan, old boy!" I greeted him, and snapped off a brisk salute. "Good to see you again. I say, fantastic operation you've got going down there, absolutely fantastic!" I eyed him with just a bit of criticism. "Why didn't you tell me about it when I was here before, eh?"
Hogan looked as though he didn't feel at all well, poor chap. "Colonel Crittendon, at that time you said the only duty of a prisoner of war was to escape. And if we were engaged in any more than that, you'd tell the Germans."
"I said that?" I replied, surprised. After I had witnessed the aeroplane taking off from the compound on my last visit, I had so completely reevaluated what constituted my duty in this war that I had quite forgot my initial, rather unbending, attitude. But now it all came back to me, and I had the grace to blush. "Yes, I suppose I did. Should have told me about it, though."
Hogan's voice rose slightly and he looked me in the eye. "All right, I am telling you. We have the most dangerous man in Germany in camp right now. We were bringing in a trained assassin from Stalag 16 to kill him. Instead of that, YOU tag along! The whole operation gets snafued, and our man gets captured. Now I suppose you wanna tell Klink!"
I was appalled that he should leap to that conclusion. "Why would I do a thing like that?"
The poor fellow was becoming a trifle agitated. "Because this and everything else we are doing in this camp is completely against what prisoners of war are supposed to do!"
Well, this was all quite true, of course, but I was in no position to cast stones, as it were. Colonel Hogan had a plan with a praiseworthy goal, and I, all unwitting, had thrown a spanner in the works. In a flash, I realised that there was the only one way I could atone for causing poor Gareau to be captured, and I responded with alacrity.
"Precisely!" I said. "That's what makes it such a smashing good show! Now, tell me about this chap I'm going to do in."
The entire group of prisoners in the barracks slowly turned to gaze at me with a wild surmise.
"You're gonna to do him in?" Hogan said in a disbelieving sort of way.
I tried for the light touch, don't you know; they all looked so dashed serious. Incredulous, in fact. "Well! All in a day's soldiering; can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, can we, what?"
Hogan walked over to confront me directly. "Colonel Crittendon, you've had actual field experience?"
"Tied to a desk job my whole career," I admitted. "So! I could use a keen young fellow like Carter here, and all of those firecrackers he's got down in the cellar."
At this, young Carter, Corporal LeBeau and Corporal Newkirk clustered round me eagerly, each with a suggestion for effecting the demise of the most dangerous man in Germany. Why this chap was so dangerous, I had as yet no idea. Still, one had to admire their fervour.
This was too much for Colonel Hogan, however, and he protested.
"What's up, old boy?" I enquired mildly.
His response was quite strongly worded; he appeared to be labouring under the impression that we were not approaching the problem in the proper spirit, considering the gravity of the situation. I assured him that the utmost level of professionalism would be maintained. He sighed and shook his head, and the lads and I continued our discussion on the best method of doing away with the villain, who was, as Newkirk informed me, a scientist by the name of Dr Vanetti.
After devoting a good deal of thought to the matter, I met with young Carter, and under my direction he constructed a crossbow. An ancient design, 'tis true, but most effective; most effective, indeed. Nigel had taught me how to build one when I was but a lad, and I was rather pleased that I was able to recall the detailed instructions he had given me.
"Wow, this is great," Carter said as he put the finishing touches on the weapon. "I know how to build a long bow 'cause that's what my family always uses, but this is gonna be a lot more powerful, I think." He paused in his work and sighed. "Maybe I would've had more luck with this baby than the one I used when I tried to shoot a flaming arrow into that truck carrying explosives. I ended up hitting the window frame in Colonel Hogan's office instead! Newkirk had to do the job for me in the end...I felt like such a failure. My ancestors would've been ashamed of me for sure."
I regarded the lad with sympathy. How well I knew that feeling, by Jove! "Perhaps you would have been more successful, at that. Very accurate, these crossbows, and silent in the bargain. My brother Nigel considers the crossbow to be an ideal weapon for guerrilla warfare."
Carter examined the mechanism again and lovingly applied a drop of oil. "I don't know 'bout that, Colonel. No gorillas around here, far as I know. But I did hear they have chimpanzees at the Hammelburg Zoo..."
He was interrupted by the arrival of Colonel Hogan, who had the strangest expression on his face.
"Not with a crossbow!" he said. Decidedly odd...Hogan did not seem to be at all pleased with our efforts.
"Lovely weapon, you know, a silent killer!" I assured him, and after a bit he grudgingly allowed that it perhaps might have a chance.
"I just found out Vanetti's having dinner with Klink tonight in his quarters," he said. "I'll maneuver him in front of the window, and there'll be a diversion at the other end of the camp. You'll get time for one shot; make it count."
"Right...good as done." I could tell the chap was tense, and as is my wont, I endeavoured to make a little joke to lighten things up a bit, don't you know. But my facetious remark about requiring carrots to aid my night vision didn't seem to help at all.
These chaps from the Colonies have no appreciation of the British sense of humour. And really, what can one expect of people who insist on driving on the wrong side of the road?
Half an hour later, after a bit of awkwardness, Hogan set off for Klink's quarters and I headed for the shadowy corner from which I would launch my attack. I was to take my shot sixty seconds after the firecracker diversion started.
As I waited, crouching there in the dark, the enormity of the task before me loomed large in my mind. Throughout my entire military career I had never had the obligation to personally take the life of another human being. But this man was working on a bomb that might mean defeat for the Allies: my duty had never been more clear! So I steeled myself to the task.
I readied the crossbow, and took careful aim for the open window, which was well-lit and in clear contrast to the surrounding darkness, a jolly good target indeed. After a few moments, the sound of firecrackers exploding could be heard, and I began counting the seconds. As soon as the figure of an unfamiliar man appeared in the window, I pulled the trigger. But even as the arrow was released, the man was somehow knocked to the floor and out of the line of fire. I watched aghast as the arrow slammed home into a door across the room, pinning Colonel Klink's cap to it.
Fortunately, Colonel Klink, who had entered the room at the moment I fired the crossbow, was unhurt. But my target had escaped, and I had failed. I felt a sudden rush of relief that I had not, after all, killed a man, but I thrust it aside: there was still a job to be done. The villain was still at large, and free to continue his diabolical plans.
I had to try again.
The following day, I had quite the row with Colonel Hogan regarding Dr Vanetti's continued existence. He wanted to scrap the assassination plan, for Vanetti had told him that he did not want to build the atomic bomb for the Nazis, but wished to escape to England instead. I was far more suspicious than the foolishly trusting Hogan; this was no doubt a clever Jerry trick, and we should be remiss in our duty if we fell for it. In the event, I had to pull rank on the poor fellow in order to carry out the mission. And I was determined that this time I would not fail.
So I conferred with young Carter again. "I expect you chaps have had occasion to rid yourselves of undesirables in the past. How did you accomplish this, without bringing suspicion on your operation here in camp?"
"Well, gee, sir, a nice bomb usually does the trick..."
"Then that's what we'll use, man!" I told him. "It fits in nicely with Vanetti's work, too, don't you see? This blighter is building the world's most lethal bomb! If it appears as though he has blown himself up, well, that's the risk he runs for having the temerity to create such things. And it should destroy any evidence of our involvement as well."
Carter was enthusiastic, but his efforts to produce the perfect bomb for the task were not entirely successful; in fact, I had increasing fears that he might blow himself up in the process. I confess I was somewhat relieved when, finally, Hogan took me aside to propose an alternate plan.
"I've decided you're right, Crittendon, but I've got a better idea than using explosives," he said. "Vanetti needs to be taken care of, and we'll get him out of camp to do it. So we'll have you dress up as a Kraut, take a little ride with Vanetti, and shoot him at close range. Then you take off cross-country, and head for England. They won't dare put you behind a desk again!"
How could I refuse, after my insistence that the assassination must be carried out? I was provided with a German army uniform, a Luger, and detailed instructions, but I had my doubts.
"You're sure this is a better way, Hogan?"
"Better? It's perfect!" Hogan assured me. "Forged papers from Berlin, our own men in a staff car...all you have to do is take Vanetti out, and let him have it."
I gulped. The implications of actually taking another chap's life were haunting me again, but this time I would be face to face with my victim, looking him in the eye, dash it! "Just...ah...let him have it. You're sure he's not on our side?"
Hogan told me I had convinced him of Vanetti's perfidy, and so I had no choice but to carry out the plan. I crossed the compound in the darkness to climb into the staff car alongside Vanetti, who was muffled to the eyes in scarf, hat and overcoat.
The car started up and soon we were outside the gates. We sat in silence for a time as the car drove on in the dark, and I glanced anxiously at the man seated beside me, with my heart as heavy as the weapon in my pocket. But I knew my duty, and after a few minutes, I had the driver pull over. I turned to confront my companion, pulling the Luger out with one trembling hand. And then I realised something...
I gasped. "You're not Vanetti, you're Klink!"
Klink said, "Of course I am..." He babbled on in a nervous manner for a few moments, then he peered at me more closely. "Haven't we met before?"
I muttered, "Ah...I just remembered an appointment," and hastily exited the car.
Klink's agitated voice followed me. "Guards! Driver! He's an escapee from Stalag 16! Capture him!"
Even as I fled, I wondered how Klink knew I had escaped from Stalag 16 (since he had returned me to Stalag 18 on our previous acquaintance), but I felt absolutely no desire to go back and ask him.
What did it all mean? It wasn't until much later that I found out that Dr Vanetti was indeed seeking to escape Germany before he could be forced to create a bomb for the Nazis, and that Colonel Hogan had enabled him to escape through the tunnel system. Hogan and his men made it appear Vanetti had died in an explosion at camp, utilizing one of young Carter's bombs, just as I had planned! Except Vanetti was in no danger from this particular explosion, of course. And I had been used to decoy Colonel Klink out of camp while all this took place.
I cannot imagine why Hogan did not see fit to tell me all this at the time; I am quite sure I would have come round to his way of thinking eventually.
Emily placed the manuscript on the little table beside her chair and turned to gaze at me thoughtfully.
I became a bit nervous, don't you know, and cleared my throat. "Well, my dear? What did you think of it?"
I thought perhaps she would tell me that my stubborn refusal to listen to reason had once again caused trouble for myself. Which of course was quite true, and unfortunately it was not the last time it would happen in my dealings with Colonel Hogan.
But that was not what was weighing on her mind.
She sighed and reached out to touch my hand. "I know there was a war on, but I really hate that you felt you had to kill someone in cold blood. It's just not like you, Rodney."
"I suppose not," I said. "Would've if I had to, though. Duty, don't you know."
"I know. But may I say I am very glad you didn't have to do it, after all?"
I smiled. "You may, old girl."
Emily picked up the manuscript again and looked at the last page. "So what happened after you left Klink's car? Didn't the guards try to stop you?"
"Well, yes, of course! Gave me a ruddy fright, too, when they started shooting at me..."
"Shooting at you?" Emily's bonny brown eyes kindled with indignation, and she dropped the manuscript onto the table with a thump. "Are you telling me that was part of Colonel Hogan's plan? Just wait till I get my hands on him!"
I hastened to soothe her. "Well, yes, my dear, it was part of the plan, but I found out later he had arranged to put blank ammunition in the guards' guns. There was no danger, really, none at all."
She took a few deep breaths, and nodded. "Okay. What happened then?"
I shook my head ruefully. "Recaptured yet again, by Jove! It was back to jolly old Stalag 16 for me, I'm afraid. But not for long, you see..."

Police identify woman struck, killed on I-465
The Indiana State Police have identified a female pedestrian who was struck and killed by a vehicle on I-465 over the weekend.
The Marion County coroner identified the victim as 31-year-old Melissa Simmons of Indianapolis. Her family has been notified.
State Police say the crash occurred at around 8:19 pm on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Simmons was walking in the I-465 northbound median near 38th Street and climbed the concrete median barrier. She was attempting to cross the southbound lanes when a pickup truck struck her in the far right lane.
Simmons was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the pickup, David Sinclair, 55, of Avon, was not injured. Troopers did not observe any signs of impairment and Sinclair submitted to a breath test with negative results.
Troopers were unable to locate a disabled vehicle in the vicinity. The crash remains under investigation.
The crash shut down I-465 for about an hour Saturday night near 38th St. on the Indianapolis west side.

Using the interactivity, can you make a regular hexagon from yellow

If the yellow equilateral triangle is taken as the unit for area,
what size is the hole ?
Tim Rowland introduces irrational numbers
If we express the difference between the fractions $\dfrac{p}{q}$ and $\dfrac{p+1}{q}$ as $\dfrac{1}{q}$, then as the number $q$ starts to increase the value of $\dfrac{1}{q}$ starts to decrease due to the fact that they are inversely proportional.
This means to say that the larger the number $q$ is, the more likely there is to be a fraction between the interval 8.06 and 8.19, compared to a smaller number $q$.
As I've clearly shown in the table above, all denominators barring 2, 3, 4 and 5 have a fraction between the approximate numbers of 8.06 and 8.19 which represent $\sqrt{65}$ and $\sqrt{67}$.
In conclusion, there are no rational numbers in the interval between $\sqrt{65}$ and $\sqrt{67}$ with denominators of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Gabriel from Wheaton North High School in the USA also used a table. This is some of Gabriel's work:
Knowing that the fraction that I used had to be slightly greater than eight, I {used the expression} $\dfrac{8n+1}{n}.$
Then Gabriel realised that this table only included fractions $8\frac{1}{n}$ and ignored fractions with numerators greater than $1$. Considering the $17$ row, Gabriel said:
$\dfrac{x}{17}$ will always be a number with a decimal of $.058824,$ $.117647,$ $0.176471,$ and so on.
If $q=2:$ $65\times4< p^2 <67\times4\Rightarrow260 < p^2 <268$
$16^2 = 256,$ $17^2 = 289$
There are no fractions with denominators of 2 between the two radicals
If $q=3:$ $65\times9< p^2 <67\times9\Rightarrow585< p^2 <603$
$24^2 = 576,$ $25^2 = 625$
There are no fractions with denominators of 3 between the two radicals
If $q=4:$ $65\times16< p^2 <67\times16\Rightarrow1040 < p^2 <1072$
$32^2 = 1024,$ $33^2 = 1089$
There are no fractions with denominators of 4 between the two radicals
If $q=5:$ $65\times25 < p^2 <67\times25\Rightarrow1625 < p^2 <1675$
$40^2 = 1600,$ $41^2 = 1681.$
There are no fractions with denominators of 5 between the two radicals
If $q=6:$ $65\times36 < p^2 <67\times36\Rightarrow2340 < p^2 <2412$
$48^2 = 2304,$ $49^2 = 2401,$ $50^2 = 2500$
There is 1 fraction ($\frac{49}{6}$) with denominator of 6 between the two radicals
If $q=7:$ $65\times49 < p^2 <67\times49\Rightarrow3185 < p^2 <3283$
$56^2 = 3136,$ $57^2 = 3249,$ $58^2 = 3364$
There is 1 fraction ($\frac{57}{7}$) with denominator of 7 between the two radicals
If $q=8:$ $65\times64 < p^2 <67\times64\Rightarrow4160 < p^2 <4288$
$64^2 = 4096,$ $65^2 = 4225,$ $66^2 = 4356$
There is 1 fraction ($\frac{65}{8}$) with denominator of 8 between the two radicals
If $q=9:$ $65\times81 < p^2 <67\times81\Rightarrow5262 < p^2 <5427$
$72^2 = 5184,$ $73^2 = 5329,$ $74^2 = 5476$
There is 1 fraction with denominator of 9 between the two radicals
If $q=10:$ $65\times100 < p^2 <67\times100\Rightarrow6500 < p^2 <6700$
$80^2 = 6400,$ $81^2 = 6561,$ $82^2 = 6724$
There is 1 fraction with denominator of 10 between the two radicals
If $q=11:$ $65\times121 < p^2 <67\times121\Rightarrow9360 < p^2 <9648$
$88^2 = 7744,$ $89^2 = 7921,$ $90^2 = 8100,$ $91^2 = 8281$
There are 2 fractions with denominators of 11 between the two radicals
Now that we have proven that all integer denominators from 1-5 have no numerator which places them in between the two radicals, 6-10 have one, and 11 has two, we are going to prove that there can be no fractions with an integer denominator greater than 11 that do not have a numerator that places them in between the two radicals.
Here is a hypothetical proof involving variables which will be applied to the problem.
Set variables $x,$ $y,$ $\dfrac{a}{z}$ and $\dfrac{b}{z}$ where $x<\dfrac{a}{z}<\dfrac{b}{z}$ and $a+1=b.$ Since $\dfrac{a}{z}$ and $\dfrac{b}{z}$ share the common denominator $z,$ $\dfrac{b}{z}-\dfrac{a}{z}=\dfrac{1}{z}$ and $\dfrac{1}{z} < y-x.$
Since when you increase the denominator but leave the numerator unchanged the fraction decreases in value, we can say then that $\dfrac{1}{z+c} < y-x$ {whenever} $c > 0.$
Now we will substitute the variables for the problem's numbers to prove that every denominator greater than 11 has a numerator that would place it in between the radicals:
Since $89+1=90$ and the two fractions share a common denominator, $\dfrac{90}{11}-\dfrac{89}{11}=\dfrac{1}{11}$ and $\dfrac{1}{11}<\sqrt{67}-\sqrt{65}$
Since when you increase the denominator but leave the numerator unchanged the fraction decreases in value we can say then that $\dfrac{1}{11+c}<\sqrt{67}-\sqrt{65}$ {for any} $c>0.$
Since any fraction with 1 as a numerator and a number greater than 11 as a denominator is less than the distance between the two radicals at least one multiple of that fraction must land in between $\sqrt{65}$ and $\sqrt{67}$.
Therefore the above denominators below 11 which do not have a numerator that places them in between $\sqrt{65}$ and $\sqrt{67}$ must be the only denominators that conform to that rule.
Amrit from Hymers College used a purely algebraic approach:
We want to find fractions in the form of $\dfrac{p}{q}$ such that $$\sqrt{65} < \frac{p}{q} < \sqrt{67}$$
Squaring all parts of inequality and rearranging, we have $$65(q^2) < p^2 < 67(q^2)$$
If this range lies between two consecutive square numbers, $p$ cannot exist (we are dealing with integers for p and q). For example, if $65(q^2) > 16^2$ but $67(q^2) < 17^2,$ there is no integer $p$ which lies in between $16$ and $17$.
Therefore, $p$ cannot exist if there is a number $x$ such that $$x^2 < 65(q^2) < p^2 < 67(q^2) < (x+1)^2$$
And we will always be able to find a square between two numbers that do not lie between two consecutive squares, so if there is not such a number $x$, then $p$ does exist.
Breaking up the inequality, we have $x^2 < 65(q^2)$ and $(x+1)^2 > 67(q^2).$
Square rooting both sides of both inequalities and making the subject $x,$ we have $x<\sqrt{65}\times q$ or $x > \sqrt{67}\times q-1$.
So if there is an integer $x$ that lies between these two bounds, then $p$ cannot exist, and if there is not, then $p$ does exist.
The inequality suggests that $\sqrt{67}\times q-1 < \sqrt{65}\times q,$ but there is a $q$ such that $\sqrt{67}\times q-1 > \sqrt{65}\times q$
Subtracting $\sqrt{65}\times q$ and adding $1$ to both sides, we get $\sqrt{67}q-\sqrt{65}q > 1$
Grouping in terms of $q$, we get $\left(\sqrt{67}-\sqrt{65}\right)q > 1$
Dividing both sides by $\sqrt{67}-\sqrt{65}$, we get $q > \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{67}-\sqrt{65}}$ which is approximately equal to $8.12,$ so $q > 8.12$.
This constraint applies for the first integer after $8.12,$ which is $9.$ Therefore, when $q \ge 9,$ $\sqrt{67}\times q - 1 > \sqrt{65}\times q$, so it is impossible to find an $x$ that is larger than $\sqrt{67}\times q-1 $ but smaller than $\sqrt{65}\times q$ - so there will be a $p$ such that $\sqrt{65}<\dfrac{p}{q}<\sqrt{67}.$
So fractions exist with a denominator of $9$ or greater that lie between $\sqrt{65}$ and $\sqrt{67}.$

Already looking at $100 billion in federal legal penalties over the mortgage crisis, major lenders fear they face a large and undefined liability under the government's aggressive anti-discrimination enforcement and are pushing for officials to define where they're drawing the line.
The Obama administration has kept the statistical methodology it uses to prove lending bias in both home and car finance so secret that a bipartisan group of 22 senators — including 11 Democrats — fired off a letter to regulators Oct. 30 demanding details.
Senators asked the administration to clarify what constitutes a "statistically significant" racial disparity in auto loan outcomes that would trigger prosecution.
In a Nov. 4 letter of reply, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) refused to say.
Alan Kaplinsky of Ballard Spahr LLP, a national law firm specializing in bank regulation compliance, called the response "less than satisfactory."
Threshold Unclear
It "did not provide a basis-point threshold for determining when statistically significant disparities exist, as the senators requested," noted Kaplinsky, who heads the firm's consumer financial services practice.
The Obama administration is the first to sue lenders for bias under the controversial civil rights doctrine known as "disparate impact." So far it's sued more than two dozen banks under the theory, which relies on computer screens of loan data to find differences in approval rates and loan terms.
The data don't include borrowers' credit scores, income, assets, cash reserves, debt-to-income ratios, down payments or other credit risk factors that lenders say explain racial differences in lending outcomes. They say prosecutors have failed to distinguish risk from race.
"They're taking a shortcut and not getting a true picture" of individual creditworthiness, Washington lawyer Andrew Sandler, who has defended several banks in lending-bias cases, told IBD.
Larry Dillon, president of C&F Mortgage in Virginia, says Justice Department prosecutors refused to consider credit risks when they accused C&F of charging some black borrowers more for loans in 2012.
"They would not let us use loan-to-value ratios or debt-to-income ratios" to explain statistical differences in loan pricing, he told IBD. "If they had, there would be little, if any, disparity."
Difficult Defense
The administration insists "statistically significant" racial disparities in loan denials or loan costs are all the evidence it needs.
Lenders complain that the standard of proof is so low it's all but impossible to defend against disparate-impact claims. They want to know what they can do to limit their exposure to anti-redlining investigations while still complying with new Dodd-Frank Act rules that discourage pricing loans for risk in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis, which disproportionately affected minority borrowers.
In June, eight financial and business trade groups sent a letter to the CFPB and HUD seeking "clarity" on how lenders can avoid liability under new disparate-impact regulations. They also sought written guidance on the metrics that investigators use to determine discrimination, arguing the "lack of guidance will create great uncertainty, resulting in higher prices to account for risk and less available credit for consumers."
"Compliance with one regulation should not make it impossible to comply with another," the groups said.
Before the crisis, lenders were sued for not originating enough loans in minority neighborhoods. Now they're being sued for "steering" low-income minority borrowers into loans that typically charge borrowers more to compensate for the higher risk of default based on traditional credit standards.
Chevy Chase Bank is an example.
In the 1990s, the Washington lender was ordered by then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder to "target African-American neighborhoods" in poor areas of the capital and "aggressively solicit" loans for low-income blacks living there.
In September, Holder, now attorney general, ordered Chevy Chase to pay almost $3 million to minority borrowers who defaulted on subprime loans.
Banks say they feel like they're "damned if they do and damned if they don't" lend to poor or credit-impaired minorities, American Bankers Association President Frank Keating said June 26 in a published column.
"Lenders are facing lawsuits and prosecutions even if they have done nothing wrong," Keating said.
They've received little guidance from regulators. On Oct. 22, five financial regulatory agencies issued a statement "in response to inquiries from creditors about whether they would be liable under the disparate impact doctrine of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act" if they originate only mortgages that comply with new rules meant to ensure loans are made only to borrowers who can repay them.
The agencies did not provide specific yardsticks, saying their "general approach and expectations regarding fair lending, including disparate impact doctrine, are summarized in prior guidance." But they said, "In selecting business models and product offerings, we expect that creditors would consider demonstrable factors that may include credit risk, secondary market opportunities, capital requirements, and liability risk."
Regulators referred to two published government documents, the 2009 "Interagency Fair Lending Examination Procedures" and the 1994 "Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending," which was adopted by the Obama administration in 2011. Both documents warn that "substantial" or "significant" racial disparities in loan denial rates or loan pricing can trigger investigations. Neither defines these terms.
The banking industry has turned to Congress for help. So far, lawmakers have failed to get the administration to disclose the econometric methodology it uses to measure whether discrimination is present in a lender's portfolio.
The administration recently expanded disparate-impact enforcement to include not just home lenders but also the auto industry. Auto lenders were supposed to be exempt from Dodd-Frank rules.
In their Oct. 30 letter to Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the 22 senators demanded that the administration reveal its investigative methods. Specifically, they asked Cordray to make public the numerical trigger point at which racial lending gaps violate federal law and justify discrimination charges.
In his response, Cordray could not provide a fixed level at which such gaps set off alarm bells, or even a danger range. He said the formula used by investigators "varies" case by case.
Nor could Cordray list any controlling risk factors that could explain racial disparities, saying he could not identify them all.
Such factors are key to lenders' defense against disparate-impact claims. Defendants say prosecutors have failed to control for all the risk factors that go into lending decisions when comparing final loan decision data by racial group. They say the administration is not actually comparing borrowers with similar credit backgrounds, which skews results and makes it look as if race is the cause of gaps, when in fact it's risk.
Consider Nara Bank of Los Angeles. Since 2009, it fought a federal suit claiming it overcharged blacks and Latinos for car loans. The Justice Department alleged a "statistically significant" disparity between "mark-ups" charged to blacks and Latinos versus Asians was proof that Nara discriminated.
A district judge dismissed the suit after agreeing that the government's statistical analysis of loan terms was faulty because it didn't consider other important factors. But after Justice appealed, Nara in September agreed to a nominal settlement while still denying wrongdoing.
Underwriting high-risk loans at prime terms — in effect, subsidizing substandard loans — may be lenders' best protection against disparate-impact liability.
"Creditors may, over time, feel increasing pressure to make" such risky loans, said Richard Andreano of Ballard Spahr. Such political pressure led to the economically devastating mortgage crisis, critics say.
The administration's 2009 fair-lending examination guidelines encourage lenders to establish "second review programs" for minority applicants previously denied loans.
"Such programs are permissible," the appendix to the federal examiners' manual instructs.
More and more bankers are giving rejected applications another look as protection against disparate-impact prosecution.
Last year the American Bankers Association, in a "fair lending toolbox" distributed to banks, advised its 5,000 members to give rejected minority loan applicants a "second look," which it said "can result in suggested changes in underwriting standards."

bella is sirius cousin, therefore lilys aunt or something
bella is dracos aunt, which makes her scorps as well.
well bella and narcissa are sisters, so draco is either sirius cousin, or nephew.
you can have sirius be ok with this, cause in there times purebloods di marry their cousins, or you can just ignore the whole idea

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1584) Callback for intercepting merging segments in IndexWriter
|Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:52:13 GMT

The problem is you need more information than simply "these segments got merged" to actually do something interesting with your caches. Okay, now I've thought a bit. What we need is a notification on which segments remained, which are new and which got toasted, plus docid ranges for them. Their ancestry is irrelevant, because you're right, to exploit it we also need deleted docs, and then replicate some of the merging logic and it gets really messy from here. Dropping parts of the cache related to dead segments, rebasing survivors and doing a fair-and-square load/uninversion/whatever for new ones is enough. bq. Can you explain what's missing in Lucene's FieldCache? It's not that easy to say. Our version was initially used only for sorting, but without concurrency issues and with async warmup. But then we used it to load docs (way better than storing fields and using IndexReader.document), tied up with our strongly-typed-fields code, added handling for multi-valued fields, used it for faceted searches. So now it is essentially just something different from Lucene field cache. > Callback for intercepting merging segments in IndexWriter > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1584 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1584 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Jason Rutherglen > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1584.patch > > Original Estimate: 96h > Remaining Estimate: 96h > > For things like merging field caches or bitsets, it's useful to > know which segments were merged to create a new segment. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

In a heated exchange with MPs, Kelly attacked the 'flawed' regulatory system of the former Tory Government for failing to spot the deep-rooted problems that have pushed the mutual to the brink of insolvency.
She insisted throughout more than an hour's testimony to the Treasury Select Committee that changes made by Labour since it came to power in 1997 meant Britain now had a world-class regulatory regime.
But, despite her attack on the Tories, the minister once more refused calls for either Government compensation or a new inquiry by Scottish judge Lord Penrose into the question of redress for savers.
Reiterating the Financial Ombudsman was ready to listen to fresh mis-selling claims, she said: 'There has been no finding of maladministration and no recommendation for compensation.'
Kelly's comments drew a fierce response from the Select Committee's Conservative MP, Michael Fallon, who accused her of 'wriggling out of any responsibility' to policyholders.
He told the London Evening Standard: 'She's being completely disingenuous. There were management failings in the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority for which ministers are responsible. She's pushing Equitable towards insolvency, which is the cruellest stroke of all. She's inviting policyholders to, in effect, sue themselves and that's just criminal.'
The pressure on Kelly to budge on compensation was increased after Lord Penrose earlier indicated to Committee chairman John McFall that ministers had to shoulder some of the blame for the quality of the regulatory regime.
He said: 'Those entrusted with the regulatory function were not terribly well equipped by knowledge or skills to make a significant contribution to it.'
Kelly has been under fire since she was accused of 'spinning' the findings of Penrose's mammoth 818-page report in the House of Commons a week ago.
She said Penrose found Equitable was the 'author of its own misfortunes' and had suffered from paying out far too much in bonuses, a situation that wiped out its capital reserves.
She told MPs that the Serious Fraud Office was still looking into the findings of the report and defended the time the Government took to read through it before last week's announcement.
Penrose insisted it was his decision not to carry out his two-and-a-half-year investigation on a statutory basis, and that he had enjoyed the full co-operation of Treasury officials throughout his inquiry.
But Labour MP George Mudie argued his narrow terms of reference - Penrose was unable to consider compensation - meant that, at £2.5m, the report was the 'most expensive history book ever written'.

Christian Gaupp III, a name kept familiar by the roadway named for him that runs between the White Horse Pike and Jimmie Leeds Road in western Galloway Township, died Monday at age 102 - about two weeks before his 103rd birthday.
The roadway, Chris Gaupp Drive, was named after the former public works head for his more than 38 years of service to the township and Atlantic County.
"During the winter months as a teenager, he helped the (township) community build gravel roads using the family horse and wagon to haul the gravel from the gravel pit to the road," said his grandson Eric Gaupp.
After a brief period with the county's Agriculture Conservation Program, Christian Gaupp began his work at the township's Public Works Department. He played an active role in addressing issues in the city's roadways and drainage system, Eric Gaupp said.
"Chris spent many hours (on his own time after work hours) each week patrolling the township roads looking for potential problems, such as potholes, drainage issues, downed tree limbs, intersection hazards, safety issues and many other conditions," Eric Gaupp said.
When he retired in 1978, the Township Council honored him by passing an ordinance to rename what was then Kumys Avenue as Chris Gaupp Drive, which has become the main artery from the White Horse Pike to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Regional, Mainland Campus, Eric Gaupp said.
Christian Gaupp was born in the Germania section of the township and worked for the county as well as the township. He was president of and the last charter member of the Germania Gun Club, which reflected his love for hunting and trapping. He used to trap muskrats during the winter on 100 acres of meadow property he owned along the Mullica River, Eric Gaupp said. He liked hunting rabbits, ducks, deer and foxes.
Gaupp also loved to fish, travel and enjoyed woodworking.
He stayed active for his 35 years after retirement, Eric Gaupp said. "For some perspective of Chris' lifetime: He was born in the time of horse and wagon, no electricity, indoor plumbing or telephone; lived through the Great Depression, the first automobile, many wars, starting with WWI, a nuclear bomb, and terrorism; the industrialization of our country, the invention of television, airplanes, putting a man on the moon, computers, Internet and 18 presidents from William Taft to Barack Obama."
A funeral service will be held Saturday beginning at noon at Wimberg Funeral Home, 211 E. Great Creek Road in Galloway Township.

Bra Over Shirt Trend: The '90s Styling Trick Every Cool Girl Is Using Right Now
With all the pretty bras and bralettes on the market right now, it almost seems like a crime to not show them off.
However, not all of us can rock a lacy cami-like undergarment on its own, especially in the workplace.
Luckily, there's one styling hack that all the cool girls in Hollywood are using right now that'll allow you to show off that gorgeous bralette in the daytime, without looking or feeling inappropriate, and that's wearing a shirt underneath.
Take Kendall Jenner, for example. Last week, the 20-year-old model of the moment stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a lacy cami (similar, if not the same one she donned solo at Coachella) over top a cropped, white tee. The face of Estee Lauder paired the tops with high-waisted distressed skinny jeans, black boots and a kimono thrown overtop for good measure.
Instant It-girl outfit, no?
However, this styling trick isn't anything new. Who could forget Cher Horowitz's iconic gym outfit in "Clueless," where she wore a white tee under her black tank?
Like, duh, Cher was totally ahead of her time.
And this trend isn't just limited to bras — you can also wear a tee under your fave slip dress to make it daytime-appropriate, or to just edge it up a bit, though we'd advise against wearing a zip-up jacket underneath a la Kim Kardashian.
Even little fashionista, North West, has jumped on the trend.

Abrahams must explain 'politicisation' of NPA' says Maimane
Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane wants National Prosecuting Authority head Shaun Abrahams to account to Parliament for the "politicisation" of the institution.
Maimane was speaking at a media briefing on Sunday afternoon' where he again called on President Jacob Zuma to resign.
Maimane said that certain "loyal" state institutions were gunning for those who have opposed Zuma.
"The timing and nature of charges most recently brought against the Minister of Finance' Pravin Gordhan' and the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters' Julius Malema' has left me deeply concerned.
"An impartial and independent prosecuting authority is the backbone of a functioning constitutional democracy' where the principle of the rule of law is respected and upheld.
"While it may be that both these individuals have a case to answer before our courts' one cannot ignore the suspicious timing of the charges' especially in light of the contemptible delay tactics being used by the NPA to avoid prosecuting Jacob Zuma for the 783 charges of fraud' corruption' money-laundering and racketeering'" Maimane said.
READ THIS: Maimane calls on SA to stand together against 'Zuma Inc'
He added that it is worrying that Gordhan had expressed his belief that the NPA could not ensure his fair trial.
"The DA will not sit by while this assault on such a valuable institution of state continues.
"I urge the ANC Chief Whip [Jackson Mthembu] to end his selective-outrage and support our call. It is time for Parliament to call Shaun Abrahams and the NPA to account for their actions."
Mthembu last week expressed his support for Gordhan in Parliament' saying "We will be with him' some of all the way' to wherever he's going … as a disciplined cadre of our movement and as a wonderful finance minister."
Maimane said the DA would renew its efforts to ensure the independence of the NPA by pursuing the Private Members Bill' first drafted by the late Dene Smuts MP.
This to provide for "greater accountability of the NPA' and more Parliamentary oversight over the selection of the National Director of Public Prosecutions".
• 'Shaun Abrahams won't give me a fair hearing' - Pravin Gordhan
Maimane said Abrahams had a golden opportunity to prove his capacity to act without fear or favour and prosecute Zuma on the corruption charges reinstated against him the courts.

I have one foot that slightly over pronates and one that supinates and am cyrrently wearing some ASICS Nimbus.
Visted Sweatshop yesterday and they were giving me a gentle nudge towards their Footbalance insoles.
Had a quick google around and there doesn't seem to be much feedback on them.
What are people's experience of them?
Are they worth the money or would I be better getting some proper custum orthotics from a podiatrist?
(I'm crrently using some semi-custom orthotics provided by the NHS, which are OK for running in, but uncomfortable for general wearing in any shoes that have a proper heel (like my work shoes!).)
Many thanks for your assistance.
Suffering from too much detail in the post, I suspect.
Let's keep it simple.
Has anybody any experience of the Swetashop Footbalance insoles - good or bad?
I have custom made orthotics in my running shoes( made by an NHS podiatrist)
I wear sweatshops footbalance insoles in a pair of boots that I wear alot for everyday walking. When they were first made- I have to say that they felt q supportive and did correct my overpronation to a degree;but not as good as the custom made orthotics.
I haven't used them for running in though........so I suppose I'm not much help!! Sorry......
Sounds like you might be better off with a pair of neutral shoes. your Nimbus may be helping out your pronating foot but it'll be exaggerating the supination of the other foot.
Nimbus are neutral shoes.
No they arn't Nimbus are for neutral to over pronators. hat means they have a slight correction but not one that would throw off a neutral gait....will will throw of asupinator though.
If you are mixed then you need a pure natural shoe like a Saucony triumph, Kinvara.
The page on your link says under pronation (supination?) and neutral. My undestanding was that they tried to provide control for both light supinators and pronators as well as neutral runners.
The US site seems to support this:
Ths is slightly off topic anyway, as the calf injuries I have suffered have tended to be on my slightly overpronating foot, where I suspect I lose form as I get tired.
I'm recognising that I need some form of additional support at the moment and was really trying to get a feel for whether I was better persevering my NHS orthotices which were prescribed after a quick 30 minute wham-bam analysis session, without any post prescription review or whether the Footbalance insoles might be a sensible option.
I'll certainly consider Saucony's when I replace the Nimbus, as they seem to fit my feet slightly better. The Nimbus should be good for a while yet.

Tales Of The Seven Seas 2 (Player Two Start)
this wiki
Tales Of The Seven Seas 2 is the sequel to the pirate-themed 1995 hit Tales of the Seven Seas, published by Sony and devloped by Naughty Dog. The game takes place a year after the first game and features the same seven playable characters: Erick, Dona, Victoria, Creel, Albert, McKenna, and Jack, returning from the first game with largely the same abilities and skills, with a few new ones added in. Graphically, the game is largely the same as the first, though with a few added 3-D effects, the game is considered one of the best looking games to appear on the SNES-CD, and, like the original game, features a CD audio soundtrack and fully voiced dialogue. This time, instead of sailing on a ship for the majority of the game (though the seven characters still have their ship and travel on it from time to time), the game largely revolves around the bustling town of Port Seashell, the characters' main base of operations. Instead of wandering the ship talking to characters between missions, you can now wander the town and visit various places there, which, like in the original game, leads to dialogue trees and potential new missions. This game is a bit smaller in scope than the original, there are around 85 missions total, of which you'll complete somewhere between 20-30 if you take the straightest path through the story. There are once again endings for each of the main characters depending on the relationships formed during the game, though, like the original game, they're all "good" endings for the most part. The easiest ending to obtain and the "canon" ending is Dona's, as the main storyline somewhat revolves around her.
It's a year after the end of the first Tales of the Seven Seas, and Erick and his friends have found a port of call: Port Seashell, a relatively peaceful town that's home to pirates and refugees from all over the seas who are looking for downtown or somewhere stable to live. In Port Seashell, however, Dona has found her mother, father, and younger sister, all of whom she thought had died. The remainder of the crew wants to get back to sailing the high seas, but Dona is slowly reconnecting with her family and is thinking about settling down with them again. All of this is complicated by the arrival of Silverbeard, a vicious pirate captain who is launching raids on Port Seashell in search of information about an ancient hoard of gold that lies buried somewhere on a nearby island. The action of the game largely revolves both around doing favors for townspeople in Port Seashell and stopping Silverbeard from collecting clues to the treasure (and also defending the town). Over the course of the game, you'll battle various members of Silverbeard's crew (and in some paths you can turn them to your side as allies). Depending on how the story goes (and in the canon and most common branches taken by players), one or both of Dona's parents die at the hands of Silverbeard, and Dona's younger sister is kidnapped by him at the end of the story to be taken as his bride, leading to the final confrontation with the deadly pirate in an ancient fortress where the great treasure is buried. After Silverbeard's defeat, Port Seashell is made peaceful once again. Dona realizes that her true destiny lies on the high seas with her friends, and the crew once again sets sail for their next adventure...
Tales Of The Seven Seas 2, despite not QUITE reaching the same commercial success as its predecessor, is still one of the top selling new release games of the year and is fondly remembered as one of the last great hits on the Super Nintendo CD. It's also as well reviewed as its predecessor, with mostly 9s and even a few 10s. It doesn't kick off another huge pirate boom like the first game did, but it does solidify the series as one of Nintendo's best video game franchises.

Photo courtesy of the New York Red Bulls
By FRANCO PANIZO
UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Playing at JELD-WEN Field under normal circumstances is intimidating. Playing there in a season opener is even worse.
The New York Red Bulls have the honors (or bad luck) of having to play out the second scenario, as they visit Caleb Porter and the new-look Portland Timbers on Sunday in their first game of 2013. The Rose City is sure to be rocking hours before kickoff and the atmosphere will only grow in intensity the closer the game is.
While you would be hard-pressed to find a single person on the Red Bulls not anxiously awaiting Sunday night's game, two players in particular are eager to get the ball rolling. Those two players are Kosuke Kimura and Eric Alexander.
No, the Red Bulls' duo are not out seeking vengeance when they return to the place they temporarily called home. Rather, they are looking forward to playing in front of the raucous crowd that has quickly become one of the most recognizable and admirable in MLS.
"It's going to be crazy out there, but at the same time you have to enjoy that," Kimura, who spent four months of the 2012 season with the Timbers, told SBI. "Soccer is growing up in this country and especially in Oregon, you see that now on TV and everywhere, so now we go there and enjoy. That's professional soccer. You feel the excitement and atmosphere and all that (but) you have to use that."
Kimura may be encouraging his new teammates to enjoy the 90 minutes inside of JELD-WEN Field, but he also knows that playing there can be quite chaotic. With 20,000-plus Timbers fans sure to pack the stadium and root on their club with the renewed enthusiasm that comes with the start of a new season, the Red Bulls will surely have some communication problems.
That might be a tough challenge for a Red Bulls team with so many new parts to it, but it is a challenge they plan on tackling head-on.
Still, do not expect to see New York go in all-out-attack mode on Sunday. New head coach Mike Petke has emphasized all preseason long how tough the club needs to be defensively, and the message appears to be carrying over into the players.
"Obviously, we're defenders. First job is to defend, no matter what happens," said Kimura when asked about offensive responsibilities. "If I score a goal but I concede two goals, it doesn't matter what I did for a goal. If I concede two goals, that's it. You can't do that.
"I'm a 100 percent defender, so defending comes first but then extra comes to supporting and going and joining the attack and Mike knows me and Roy [Miller], we're experienced enough to do that and make the right decisions."
Regardless of the tactics, going on the road and picking up some points against the Timbers in any manner would be a solid start to the season for the Red Bulls. Kimura and Alexander are both confident that is possible.
"It's definitely going to be a hard place to play and we know that going in," Alexander told SBI. "But we think we can get a result there."
- A day after MLS Commissioner Don Garber said the Red Bulls would be moving their front office to New York City, a team source told SBI Thursday that the full front office was not moving and instead just some commercial and marketing functions would be relocated there in the future.
What do you think of Kimura and Alexander making their returns to Portland? Do you see them helping the Red Bulls to a victory at JELD-WEN Field?
Share your thoughts below.
does Portland's stadium name always have to be in caps? Pretty sure i have seen Jeld Wen's sales docs in regular font…
As much as i liked these guys there is a reason they are no longer on the roster. Kimura had the heart but let forwards behind him often. If he plays he will get turned inside out like we were last season. Alexander had flashes but they never really panned out. With the right people to play off he could do well for NY. Really looking forward to seeing how the Timbers new style works out for real. it has looked very dangerous in preseason.
Tim F.
In the photo, why is Fagundez's foot so far into the field?
I hope that Kimura and Alexander can make contributions at points during the season but I didn't think either would necessarily start or even contribute this game; of the two, I think Kimura is the most likely to see action / start.
I'm more interested in how Henry — Apparently Henry will start; he hasn't played on turf that often — Espindola, Juninho, Cahill, Bover and McCarty play in front of Olave, Pearce and Robles. I would like to see Holgersson and Barklage start but I think it will be Miller and Kimura who start. Hoping that Juninho, Espindola and Olave are the impact players in this game.
Last year, the team played like two different squads, a shell of itself on the road, at time unbearable to watch; this year, I hope they play well on the road as they do at home. Also last year, against the better teams, the Red Bulls seemed to lack athleticism and speed for the 90+ minutes. This game will give a first look at whether these two issues were addressed.

From Wikipedia
Calcium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula CaS. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. CaS has been studied as a component in a process that would recycle gypsum, a product of flue-gas desulfurization. Like many salts containing sulfide ions, CaS typically has an odour of H2S, which results from small amount of this gas formed by hydrolysis of the salt.
In terms of its atomic structure, CaS crystallizes in the same motif as sodium chloride indicating that the bonding in this material is highly ionic. The high melting point is also consistent with its description as an ionic solid. In the crystal, each S2− ion is surrounded by an octahedron of six Ca2+ ions, and complementarily, each Ca2+ ion surrounded by six S2− ions.

Campers forego fires during record-breaking heat wave
MISSOULA, Mont. - With temperatures reaching into the 90s and fire danger climbing we decided to check in with area campgrounds to find out if they're allowing campfires.
NBC Montana talked to Tom Mahlum, the owner of Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park outside of Missoula. He tells us he follows county burning guidelines – if Missoula County allows campfires, then so does Mahlum.
Mahlum tells us with a heat wave lingering over western Montana most campers decide to ditch the fire pit and go swimming instead.
"The probability of them having a campfire over the last couple days and the next couple of days will be pretty slim because of the temperature," said Mahlum.
We talked to campers to find out if they were planning to have a campfire over the holiday weekend.
"With the weather and the condition the forests are in it's just not a wise thing to do," said avid camper Michael Hoger. "The west is on fire right now and you don't want to be a contributing factor to it because you walk away for a minute and that minute is when a spark will fly and catch the forest on fire."
Hoger's wife, Jan, says she can live without making s'mores over an open fire.
"It's way too windy and we don't want to start the place on fire, so that's why we're not going to have a campfire," said Jan Hoger.
As for Mahlum, he says they will take extra precautions on the Fourth of July.
"With fireworks tomorrow night right around the corner, we are very cautious on any extra fire activity in our park," he said.

Most important is 5. Actively seed, feed and weed:
We are often taught that social networks are emergent and self-organizing — they take care of themselves. Baloney. Truly vibrant and growing social networks are carefully tended by the individual at the center of his or her network. These social networks require catalysts to expand — interesting people, ideas and conversation topics that can motivate people to connect with you and become more and more engaged. The people who contribute the most need to be recognized and rewarded. And the people in the social network who are generating negative energy and too focused on their own self-promotion need to be gently escorted to the exit.

USD/JPY: weekly Ichimoku analysis
Tatyana Norkina, FBS analyst
Daily. Bears returned to the market after a test of the horizontal Kijun line at 102.00. The pair lost more than one figure during the week, hitting 101.00. As a result, the bearish trend could extend. The indicator is supporting this idea: the Cloud widens to the downside, Tenkan and Kijun lines formed a dead cross.
Chart. Daily USD/JPY
H4. The H4 picture has also turned bearish as the pair failed to hold in the positive area. Sales resumed from the beginning of the new week. As a result, the price fixed below the Cloud. Tenkan and Kijun-sen formed a dead cross. At the same time, note that the 101.00 support is rather strong. Given the oversold market conditions, we expect a consolidation at the current levels before a new dip to the 100.80 support.
