Texas coach Tom Penders said he'd pit 6-foot-9,273-pound center Dennis Jordan against Traylor. "That's an NPT. matchup with the size of those two guys," Penders said. Texas seemed to have a healthy bunch, but Michigan center Maceo Baston, a native of Dallas, drew the ire of the Longhorns when he said they seem to "take a lot of ill-advised shots." "Ill-advised?" shot back Texas senior forward Sonny Alvarado. "I've never seen a shot I didn't like from my boys. We just take the shot that's open. ... Coach Penders coaches that way and we like to play that way." Michigan guard Dugan Fife, who runs the Wolverines' offense, is fighting a virus and sore throat. Other teams in this regional are not without their ailments, either. All-Americas Tim Duncan of No. 9 Wake Forest and Kerry Kittles of lOth-ranked Vil-lanova are fighting stomach viruses that could limit their minutes today. "Kerry has a stomach virus and has been throwing up. He was finally able to eat something and he feels better," Villanova coach Steve Lappas said after Thursday's workout without Kittles. "I thought it was better that he stay back." Lappas said he expected Kittles to start, however, when third-seeded Villanova faces No. 14 seed Portland (20-9), making its first ■ NCAA Tournament scores I EAST REGIONAL At The RGA Dome State 72 First Round Indianapolis Virginia Tech 61, At The Providence Civic Thursday, March 14 Wisconsin-Green Bay 48 Center Connecticut 68, Colgate Iowa State 74, California Providence.

In other games, Missouri Valley Conference tourney champion Tulsa (22-7) met Louisville (20-11) and Michigan (20-11) plays Texas (20-9) tonight. Take Horns out early, UMassfar Thomas Godley Take the smart choice, follow logic and reason, and right away people jump all over you. The NCAA tournament office pool got under way on Thursday, and as fellow workers scanned the brackets, it took no time for a critical eye to point out that I'd taken Michigan over Texas in the first round. Imagine the shame. An ex-Hom betting against his alma mater, dropping the home team for the sake of a lousy first-round point. Despite the chastising, I stood firm by my pick. Few people understand the true art of NCAA tournament prognostication. It all starts on Monday, following the NCAA committee's seedings. The purchase pf 3 UM Today special tournament section is-crUical. Every (sam is broken down and * • analyzed with key statistics and matchup information. Here are the facts: Michigan is 20-11 in the Big IO. The Longhorns are 20-9 in the SWC. Both teams secured at-large bids. Michigan's starting lineup is 6-9,6-9,6-5,6-3,6-2. Texas is 6-7,6-6,6-5,6-4,6-1. Michigan coach Steve Fisher's career record is 160-70. UT'sTom Penders is 175-80. The Las Vegas line is Michigan by I. Here's why Michigan will move on to the next round: They have better basketball tradition and more Parade All-Americans just waiting four CBS' cameras to shine on them. The Wolverines will fall in the next round to Wake Forest, who will fall to UMass two rounds later in the Elite Eight. The Minutemen will win it all. In the end I tossed USA Today and all its data, and remembered how two years ago a secretary who hadn't watched a game all season took home the office pool prize. She picked Arkansas because they were ranked high and she had relatives there. So I figure, "Why not UMass this year?" They were the No. I team for a while, and my cousin Rick lives up there. (Thomas Godley is sports editor for the Herald-Zeitung) NBHS boys trade set to run at Thy By THOMAS GODLEY Sports Editor From staff reports Herald-Zeitung photo by THOMAS GODLEY Unicorn track coach Lew Simmonds demonstrates technique for getting out of the blocks Thursday afternoon at NBHS. Steven Simpson, Cooper Cogdell and Michael Williams take in the lesson. NBHS tops Lockhart in softball New Braunfels started its comeback. Eleven batter went to the plate for the Unicorns dunng that pivotal fourth inning. Rachel Green led off with a walk, advanced to third base on a past ball and was dnven in by Joy Orr. Melinda Aguirre, Misty Roberts and April Tuch then singled in four more runs to spark the rally. Tammy Braune and Emily Woupka notched the final two RBL Lockhart closed the gap to 7-6 with two runs rn the sixth inning. In the top of the seventh, the Lady Lions put runners in scoring position with two outs, but Braune, who pitched the entire game for the Unicorns, struck out the final batters to preserve the win. Tuch and Braune each went for 2-for-3 with an RBI to lead the offense. The Unicorns' next game is at Bastrop on Tuesday. The New Braunfels girls' softball team used a seven-run rally in the fourth inning to surge past the Lockhart Lady Lions on Thursday at NBHS Softball Field. The win kept the Unicorns' district record perfect at 3-0 and 11-8 overall. Lockhart, the district champion in 1995, dropped to 2-1 and suffered its first loss in 13 district games after going undefeated last season in 28-4A. NBHS coach Cindy Manley said the Unicorns have yet to play their best softball, "This was another tough game where we just made the plays at critical times," Manley said. "It was kind of amazing that we came out with a win considering we had six errors." The Lady Lions jumped out to a 4-0 lead when New Braunfels track coach Lew Simmonds has always been a firm believer in pacing early and peaking late. Considering the way the Unicom boys' team has jumped out of the blocks this season, it could be hitting a big-time stride by the start of district. After three meets, the Unicorns are moving ahead of schedule, and they figure to get better with the addition of several key athletes who are expected to join the team in the next weeks. Jamie Copenhauer, a top middle distance sprinter, will regain his eligibility and give the team a lift in the 400 meter run and 1600 meter relay. Kelly Garza plans to return from an injury to bolster the IOO and 400 meter runs. He was fourth in district in 1995. And Tony Bradford, a 6-0 high jumper, is recovering from a fool injury and could help in the field events. "We're coming along fine right now and I'm pleased, but I think we've got another 30-40 points out there," Simmonds said. "It looks good the way things are developing." The Unicorns head to their fourth meet this Friday at Kerville Tivy. The spring break schedule will mean a scarcity of teams and runners but the meet will give an opportunity to junior varsity runners who expect to be moved up. Last week at the Round Rock McNeil meet, the Unicorns took fourth place. On March 2, they came in third at the Schertz Clemens Relays. The season opened with a dominant performance at the Unicom relays. This year's team has balance. Jeff Garsnett continues be a strong runner in the 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs. Anchoring the field events is state medalist Clay Skarovsky who consistently clears 14-0 in the pole vault. Klint Kingsbury is aiming for 140 feet in the discus. David Simmonds, Cooper Cogdell and J.P. Wilkins are approaching the 21 foot mark in the long jump. Kliff Kingsbury, Merle Meder, Jeff Copenhauer and Brad Boucher ran a lime of 3:35.30 in the 1,600 meter relay at the McNeil Relays. Unicom service ace Craig Sciantareili takes aim with on a sizzling serve. Sciantareili fell to Jeff Mueller of MacArthur 6-3,6-1, but the Unicom tennis team won the overall battle 5-3 in a non-district match at NBHS on Thursday. Davinder Toot defeated Justin Bradshaw 5-7,6-1,6-0. In girls' singles, Rebekah Forney defeated Alison Ojeda, 6-3,6-2 and Melinda Boyd topped Elizabeth Maurer 6-0,6-4. In girls' doubles, Andrea Giesick and Tamarra Jenkin defeated A Maurer and Mc Entire 6-2,6-1. Damarodas-Schneider defeated Baker Kutach 6-1, 6-1. Heraid-Zettung photo by THOMAS GODLEY Astros9 Berry replaces Caminiti By MICHAEL A. LUTZ AP Sports Writer KISSIMMEE. Fla. (AP) — Sean Berry has made a career out of stepping into big shoes. He'll lake over the unsettled third-base spot for the Houston Astros this season — one year after Ken Caminiti, one of the most popular Astros ever, departed for San Diego. "I followed George Brett at Kansas City, I followed Tim Wallach in Montreal, so in that sense Caminiti is in pretty good company in the people I've followed," Berry said. "I had the good fortune to play with Brett and Wallach and although I never got to play with Carny, that would have been nice," Berry said. "Sure, you'd like to live up to those guys but you're kidding yourself. "You just try to play your game and someday, maybe they'll say I was a pretty good third baseman." Dave Magadan and Craig Shipley platooned al third base in Cammiti s absence last season but fans clearly missed Cammiti s dart-like moves and laser throws to first base. Solidifying third base was an early goal of new Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker. "Sean fits well with this club," Hunsicker said "We weren't looking for a high-profile type guy. This is a club of blue-collar workers who go out and grind it out every day. "Even the stars. (Craig) Biggie and (Jeff) Bagwell are everyday grinders. Berry fits that mold. "Sean is like a chameleon Many times you don't even nouce dial he's there unul you look up at the end of the year and realize how much he's done for the team," Hunsicker said. Rockets soar past Hawks 114-106 By The Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — Lenny Wilkens is the winningest coach in NBA history and even he couldn't devise a defense to stop Hakeem Ola-juwon. Olajuwon hadn't practiced in two days and was playing with a sore nght knee, but he scored 38 points and fueled a third-quarter charge that led the Houston Rockets to a 114 106 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Thursday night. "We were going to try and double team defensively and help as quick as possible with relations (on Olajuwon)," Wilkens said. "I don't think we got there quick enough and he's too good to give him that much time." Olajuwon's knee started bothering him in pracuce on Tuesday but he elected to play against the Hawks and Rockets coach Rudy Tom-janovich is glad that he did. The Rockets remain two games behind the division-leading San Antonio Spurs. ;

The Wister Trace(1987)
Classic Novels of the American Frontier
An anthology of stories edited by Loren D Estleman
A master practitioner's view of his craft, this classic survey of the fiction of the American West is part literary history, part criticism, and entertaining throughout. The first edition of The Wister Trace was published in 1987, when Larry McMurtry had just reinvented himself as a writer of Westerns and Cormac McCarthy's career had not yet taken off. Loren D. Estleman's long-overdue update connects these new masters with older writers, assesses the genre's past, present, and future, and takes account of the renaissance of western movies, as well.
Estleman's title indicates the importance he assigns Owen Wister's 1902 classic, The Virginian. Wister was not the first writer of Westerns, but he defined the genre, contrasting chivalry with the lawlessness of the border and introducing such lines as "When you call me that, smile!" Estleman tips his hat to Wister's predecessors, among them Ned Buntline, the inventor of the dime novel, and Buffalo Bill. His assessments of Wister's successors - Zane Grey, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and Louis L'Amour, to name but three - soon make clear the impossibility of differentiating great western writing from great American writing.
Especially important in this new edition is the attention to women writers. The author devotes a chapter each to Dorothy Johnson - author of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" - and Annie Proulx, whose Wyoming stories include "Brokeback Mountain." In his discussion of movies, Estleman includes a list of film adaptations that will guide readers to movies, and moviegoers to books. An appendix draws readers' attention to authors not covered elsewhere in the volume - some of them old masters like Bret Harte and Jack London, but many of them fascinating outliers ranging from Clifford Irving to Joe R. Lansdale.

The New Masculinity
To be sure, the argument that masculinity is in a state of crisis has been around for some time. In fact, critic Robert Bly made exactly this argument in his widely read book Iron John published in the early '90s.
At around the same time, a small but significant number of academics from a variety of disciplines started researching men and the so-called crisis they were finding themselves in. A key part of this research consisted in developing theories for understanding how, exactly, men are socialized into manhood. The most influential figure in this area of research is sociologist Michael Kimmel, who argues that men tend to be encouraged to model their masculinities along the lines of four ideals:
- The rejection of all things female and feminine, especially those associated with dependence, care-giving and compassion
- The pursuit of fortune, success and wealth at all costs, even if it means betraying friends and family
- The ability to be fearless, invulnerable and in control at all times, particularly when in the presence of others
- The willingness to break rules and flout authority for personal gain, financial reward and sexual satisfaction.
The New Masculinity: Established characteristicsSo, what exactly does AskMen's Great Male Survey tell us about men today? Far from shirking familial responsibilities or shunning commitment in favor of permanent promiscuity, modern men appear to date with an eye on marriage. In fact, 78% of men surveyed said that marriage potential was either "very" or "somewhat" important when deciding on whom to date. It is, therefore, not surprising that a similarly resounding 67% of men claim that marriage is a necessary institution and one in which they will participate.
The emphasis on marriage is brought even more clearly into focus when men are asked to comment on what best defines a "real man" in 2010; here, 50% of men claimed that the ultimate mark of modern manliness is being a good husband and father who provides for his loved ones, which beat out being wealthy (3%), being a great lover (4%), being charismatic (7%), being a great leader (23%), and having manly skills, like the ability to fix things (13%) by wide margins.
What is the masculine paradox?

There a Bonanza with NFL Totals?
October of 2010, I immediately isolated an NFL OVER trend. Perhaps it was
because of an incident that happened with my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers. It was at that point in the season that the
Steelers were fined repeatedly for what the NFL termed "unsportsmanlike hits". The NFL handed out large fines, and made
threats of handing out even largely fines if the purported violence
continued. With defenders notably
changing their playing style, scoring in the NFL rose to almost 50 PPG for over
a month. It was not until the cold
weather began to influence scoring and a mindset returned to normal that
scoring began to settle down.
Once the labor dispute was settled prior to the 2011
season, the NFL repeated their threats.
Penalties, fines and suspensions would be immediate and severe for any
blows to the head, any use of the helmet as a weapon, or any unnecessary
attacks on unprotected players. Some may say that the Week #1 offenses of NFL
teams were ahead of the defenses or there were more teams (witness Miami on
Monday night) who changed offensive schemes from a less conservative
approach. Or perhaps, there is an
influence of the new kick off rules. To
this viewer, however, it was apparent that defenders were playing with less
abandon for fear of threats they would be penalized. Regardless of what the influencing factors
were, the results are obvious.
adjustments have been made for Week #2.
Yet much like last year, the adjustments they make may be too slow. Week #2 OVER/UNDER numbers for the 15 games
of Sunday, September 18th averaged just 42.7 PPG. There are again numerous indications on the
part of the linemaker as to which games have a higher propensity for going OVER
the posted total.
My OVER/UNDER service is now 11-3 dating back to the
PreSeason action in NFL this season. Let's hope this continues….

Thanks, Joe!

I Need Help ID'ing Jeep Wheels and Tires
Hey folks. . .
I'm about to purchase a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and am interested in swapping out the stock tires and wheels and replacing them with the exact ones in the photo below. The problem is, I need help identifying them. Any chance a few of you experts would take a stab at identifying both the wheels and tires on this Jeep? I don't have a better photo, but it was suggested the tires may be BF Goodrich KN-2's. However, they could be something else altogether.
I'd also like to get people's thoughts on the actual size of the wheels and tires as well as the lift that was likely done.
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
Union, Maine 04862
Those look like 38's or bigger! Definitely lifted, no way those would fit under the JK Rubi. The wheels look to be at least 18" maybe more like 20".
I cant help but they look GREAT!!!
I think they're KM2s, low profile on big wheels...
I emailed PJ and asked if they know.
Let me know if you want to sell your old springs and shocks.....
Zooming in and a little Photoshop to lighten the color I'm pretty sure I read BFGoodrich which would more than likely mean KM2's. Just look at the front part of the front tire for the branding.
The wheel is a Magnus UltraWheel. I found it at this site:
Ultra Magnus Flat Black Painted
Nice looking Jeep, but keep in mind you can dress one up to look exactly how you want, but if it doesn't suit your NEEDS it's pretty much worthless.... Looks are one thing, what's functional for you may be different.
Thanks for the great feedback, guys. STxWrangler, I checked out the website for the wheel manufacturer themselves, and lo and behold I found the origins of the photo I posted:
Ultra Wheel
Mr. Ford and Hilldweller, I'm glad to see you two agree on the make of the tires. Thanks for your input.
I've discovered over the past 24 hours that I wouldn't be able to duplicate this look, because I live in Maine and it's illegal here to put a body lift on a vehicle. Technically even lift blocks or shackles are illegal in Maine.
So my question to you experts is this. If I go with the 18x9 Ultra Magnus wheels, could I get a set of 305/60R18 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2's to work on a 2011 Ruby without any body lift and still not have any rubbing?
Any/all feedback appreciated. Thanks again.
Union, Maine 04862
I don't think that Jeep has a body lift. It has a suspension lift. Not sure if that makes any difference in Maine or not.... If you can't lift it, you can still do the wheels and tires, just go up to a 32" tire and you'll fit fine with no rubbing.
Personally, I wouldn't consider anything less than a 35 for 18s so that you can air-down effectively.
So, if you just have to have those wheels, get some 35s on it with a proper suspension lift of at least 2.5".
I don't understand the fashion wheels anyhow. I bought my wheels because they were on sale, light, strong, the right backspacing, the right diameter, and not too "ghetto" for my age-influenced taste.
In all actuality, I can't even see them while I'm wheeling. Really; I can't. I've tried.
EDIT: Sweet Baby Chesus! They weigh 17 pounds more than my wheels... ...each. Not 17 for 5 of them.
Hilldweller, et al.
Maine is a tough State regarding the restrictions they place on vehicle modifications. I've learned that I can go with a suspension lift of no more than 3", and that it has to be using a lift kit for the whole vehicle. I'm also not allowed to increase the size of the tires more than two sizes beyond what comes stock. I can therefore go no larger than 34" tires on an 18" wheel, or run the risk of the vehicle not passing inspection. I therefore need to make some compromises.
I'm leaning toward going with 305/60R18 BGF Mud-Terrain T/A KM2s on 18 x 9 Ultra Wheel Goliaths. I was told these would require a 5 1/2" backspacing. Is there any chance these would fit on a Ruby without a lift and still avoiding any rubbing? If not, how much of a lift do you think I'd need? If I have to go with a lift, I'd likely go with an Old Man Emu 2 1/2" Light Kit suspension system.
I'm also curious what other Off-Road Max-Traction tires you'd recommend that would fit on 18 x 9 wheels but be closer to 34". Possibly Cooper Discoverer STTs in the same size?
Any/All feedback appreciated.
Union, Maine 04862
Maine has too many laws if they're legislating lifts, etc.
Too restrictive for me.
I live in Maine now with my vehicle registered to Oregon so I'm gonna play dumb if questioned about it.
Don't overthink it too much.
Mount a nice 35" tire on those 18s and take a tape measure to it; the weight of the vehicle will handily make it a 34. You can even let out 5 pounds of pressure on inspection day.
A 2.5 or 3" lift will be fine for a 35; if they rub the rear fenders at full-stuff, replace the rears with Bushwacker flat fenders.
I wouldn't run a 305/60-18; there's no performance benefit at all for that width compared to circumference. Just bling factor.
Also, I'd look for wheels with less backspacing than 5.5". I'd say 5 or 4.5 is safer.
that is one sick looking jeep...even for a 4 dr :D
Thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna take your advice and go with the 35s. I think the final set-up I'll be going with once I receive the Jeep will be the following:
If anything looks a little off, let me know. I'm hoping everything will fit and work fine without having to replace the rear fenders. Time will tell.
By the way, how much do you think I could reasonably get for selling the stock wheels and tires that come on a Ruby?
Thanks again,
Around $1000 or more for wheels and tires
I'm really NOT a fan of spacers though.
Not sure you'd even need them with 4.75" backspacing. Maybe a different wheel choice with 4.5"; I'm pretty sure they'd fit.
Spacers are illegal in more and more states and there are an increasingly large number of tire chain stores that won't touch your Jeep if you run them.
They're the source of countless bickering threads on this and other forums too....
I just had a long chat with my car guru guy out here and he's in agreement about losing the spacers. I'm also switching from the Super-Flex lift to the Standard. I've also heard enough conflicting opinions about the Cepek Radial F-C II's, that I've changed my mind about those and will going with Wrangler DuraTechs as well as 18" wheels instead of 17". So the revised set-up will be:
I appreciate the feedback. It's really helpful.
I think that's too much bs for that size tire... Not sure about that, since I'm new to JK's. But that's almost 12.75 wide and 5" bs is only an inch less than stock. While stock tires are only 10" wide.....
You'll have a less expensive life for ever if you stick with 16s or 17s for wheels; and I'd shoot for 4.5" backspacing at most.
If I shifted over to the 17" version of the same wheel, and went with the 315/70R17 Wrangler DuraTrac, would that work? The other tire option I'd consider would be the Nitto Trail Grappler N/Ts in a 35x12.5R17. My biggest concerns are about driving on ice and snow, and having to replace the tires too frequently because of treadwear.
Which of the two tire options would you recommend? Here's the revised wheel info:
It's not 4.5" backspacing, but at least I'm moving in the right direction.
Actually that might work. If I'm thinking correctly the negative offset will give you basically another almost 1/4" of bs to accommodate that width tire. Bill, correct me if I'm wrong here.... My brain hurts now.. :)
the 1/4" is on the front side already. 4.75" is the BS and 4.25" is the "front space", if you will. That gives you the 9" total width of your wheel.
Will both options potentially work, or just the Duratracs? I don't know how all of this fits together and how to do the math taking into account the 3 1/2" lift, the backspacing and the offset.
Thanks, guys (& gals),
Here's how I figger it.
Stock Sahara is a 255/70-18 tire on an 18x7.5 wheel with 6.75" bs. That sets your inside edge of rubber at 8" from the hub mounting surface.
The larger of the new ones are 35x12.5 on 17x9 with 4.75" bs; that puts the inside edge of rubber at a mere 6.5" from the hub mounting surface.
You've got an extra 1.5"
Dang. Math.
So the Nitto's would work, too? I just want to make sure I'm following you here. Thanks, man.

If we want the public to understand whether the billions of dollars spent on fuel subsidies are the best use of their taxes, we need better, more transparent data on how much countries are spending.
Last week, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Board met for its last meeting before the upcoming climate talks in Paris. Countries created the GCF to be the main global fund for climate finance, and as such, it could play a vital role in delivering the goals of an agreement in Paris. If the GCF is to be a key player in the future climate regime, it needs to show that it can effectively spend money. Is it up to the task?
With a pivotal climate summit in Paris just weeks away, a new far-reaching survey by the Pew Research Center shows widespread support for a global agreement to tackle this challenge.

The world's legally recognized community forests hold about 37 billion tonnes of carbon, about 29 times the annual carbon footprint of all the passenger vehicles in the world.
The UNFCCC secretariat released a major report aggregating greenhouse gas emission reductions captured from 146 countries that submitted their national plans (or INDCs) as of October 1, 2015. These countries represent 86 percent of global emissions. Additional countries have submitted their national plans since October 1 and will continue to do so. The report finds that the INDCs represent a substantial slowdown in emissions growth achieved in a cost-effective way. Yet, countries will need to take additional actions to reduce emissions further before 2030.
After key negotiations in Bonn, we're in the homestretch to COP21, the pivotal global meeting in Paris in December where countries will agree on a new international climate agreement. Negotiators made significant progress at Bonn, but a strong COP21 outcome requires a much more vigorous pace.
The upcoming decisions at the Paris negotiations present an opportunity to put our global community on the right path, providing appropriate short-term signals for investors and innovators, as well as a strong long-term signal that guides the phase-out of greenhouse gas pollution.

Build Your Web Funnel
In 1997 when I wrote my very first column for the Livingston Country Press, I was only responsible for one thing: writing the column. I'd write them, email them to the lifestyles editor, she'd edit them, they would show up in the paper, and I'd be paid my twenty-five dollars.
But, that was the old way.
When I write my current column, called "Where Are They Now?" and appearing on a bi-weekly basis on the Hartland Patch website, I'm not only responsible for composing the content but responding to readers' questions, and promoting each article on Facebook or Twitter.
It's not so much that I'm responsible for it, but in reality I know that I need to do it. The more exposure my column gets, the more readers which come to the site, and the more popular my work becomes. My column's fame translates into value for the site's editor.
There are so many more ways to deliver content nowadays that content management has gotten way more complicated than it ever was in the 1990's. The plus side is that writers can reach a much broader audience, and when they play their cards right their written work may never grow stale. The downside is that the burden of managing that content now falls upon the shoulders of the creator.
In this document I hope to talk about some ways in which you can spread your content out to difference audiences while efficiently keeping it under control.

Similar to the polar emissions from a neutron star, seen as a pulsar if the observer is within the cone traced out by the polar streams, gamma ray emissions from a GRB are very directional as well as intense. If a GRB went off anywhere within our galaxy, yes the entire galaxy, and Earth was in line with one of the two polar beams, all life on Earth would be extinct within hours. In his book "Death from the Skies," fellow Discover blogger Phil Plait has a great description of what life on Earth would be like in its last minutes, and my co-author Ges Seger and I examined this phenomena in this short story. Now before you lie awake at night worrying, here's a podcast describing why we should be safe from GRBs.
GRBs were first discovered in 1967 by the Cold-War-era Vela satellites–satellites designed to detect the gamma ray pulses emitted by nuclear weapons tests. When the Velas began sensing gamma ray pulses that weren't coming from Earth, the initial reaction was that those darned Rooskies were testing nukes beyond the moon. Cooler heads prevailed, and GRBs were observed to be occurring isotropically–or equally likely in any direction. Numerous hypotheses were advanced to explain them before science settled on the current models.
Some of these hypotheses are less mainstream, but more fun, than others. One of my favorite "must read" online columns is Gregg Easterbrook's "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" on ESPN. TMQ is a nerd-friendly analysis of the past week in the NFL, sprinkled with asides on politics, science, and science fiction. Mr. Easterbrook maintains that GRBs may, in fact be muzzle flashes from distant alien doomsday weapons:
Bummer Cosmic Thought: Recently, astronomers glimpsed the most distant gamma-ray burst ever observed–so far away it may have occurred only about a billion years after the universe formed. If gamma-ray bursts are caused by dying super-massive stars, as some cosmologists think, this is the oldest (or youngest, from the perspective of the cosmos) such death so far observed. But as TMQ cautions about gamma-ray bursts, don't assume they must be natural. Maybe they are the muzzle flashes of doomsday weapons. Maybe what GRB 080913 tells us is that shockingly soon after life began, so did the horror of combat.
This is a fun notion to mull over, but unlikely nevertheless. It's inconceivable that any civilization could generate artificially the colossal energies associated with GRBs. Moreover, if GRBs were, in fact, telltale signs of distant alien warfare, astronomers would observe energy bursts anisotropically, or coming from a preferred direction in space…
…which is exactly what has been happening recently. In Antarctica, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to detect the ever-elusive neutrino–subatomic particles emitted from cataclysmic astrophysical phenomena like supernovae and GRBs. Although, for this experiment, they are considered "noise", IceCube can also detect cosmic rays. Not only has IceCube been detecting an over-abundance of cosmic rays, lately, they have been observed anisotropically–coming from a preferred direction. Now THAT is the kind of observation that would hint at being muzzle flashes from distant alien warfare.
Realistically, the IceCube observations are certainly naturally occurring, and it's only a matter of time until astronomers identify a source. The observations do raise an interesting point, though. Current SETI research is based largely upon the notion that the first signals we detect from an alien civilization will be radio signals–from an intentional attempt at contact or a byproduct of their internal communications like our radio and television. Weaponry almost certainly would emit far more detectable energy into space, though it may be more narrowly focused.
If we do detect alien intelligence, it may be more likely due to a BANG, not a whisper. Wouldn't it be wonderfully ironic if the Vela satellites, designed to detect nuclear tests, discovered GRBs, and a detector like IceCube, designed to detect neutrinos from astrophysical events, initiated First Contact?

"Start 'em young" is a motto that can be applied to a lot of things in life, but isn't often used in tandem with providing financial knowledge.
Changing this is the goal behind BankMobile's second annual BankMobilist College Program, for which applications for the 2016-2017 school year are now open. The program is seeking college students around the country to serve as financial "ambassadors" or "BankMobilists" in the program, which allows them to both learn and spread financial awareness on college campuses across the USA.
They do this, according to BankMobile co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Luvleen Sidhu, through "word of mouth, social media, and swag."
"The point of the program is really to educate young Americans about financial security, and to raise financial awareness," said Sidhu. "We want to change the financial landscape of America to one of financial empowerment."
This is the second BankMobilist Program "America's Largest Mobile First Bank" has held, with the first beginning in September 2015, the same year that the bank itself was established as the digital banking division of Customers Bank.
BankMobile currently has around 2 million customers. It had 61 "BankMobilists" in the program last year working around the country as "part of its #BankForLife movement by spreading the word that there is finally a bank that you can love!"
According to Sidhu, the goal of the program is to spread financial awareness, not open bank accounts. However, the expanded social aspect of the program, which now includes a new free course where users can learn the basics of finance with lessons about budgeting, investments, and student loans (ugh), has the dual benefit of building strong financial foundations and letting consumers know that there is a bank that can provide them with "a digital, effortless, and financially empowering experience."1 - Reader Likes This Post

· Headteachers are not falling over themselves with gratitude after ministers promised them business mentors to help raise standards in the classroom. "Terminal 5, I say to you," Mick Brookes, general secretary of the National Association of Headteachers, told his members at their annual conference earlier this month. "Which one of us lucky leaders will have BAA as a mentor? Just don't let them give you any advice about managing the schoolbags and lockers."
· One headteacher comes home to look after another flock when school has finished for the day. Jim McManners, head of Cassop primary school in County Durham, rushes home to check on his 50 ewes, five rams and 70 lambs. But which flock is harder to look after? "It depends on the time of year," he says. "I try to time lambing for the Easter holidays."
· Cynical folk have been maintaining for a long time that "public consultation" over academy proposals is a sham. Now it appears that their suspicions are confirmed. A public relations company apparently acting for the Oxford academy (all the academies seem to have PR consultants) claims on its website, with disarming honesty, to have helped its client in the process of "understanding and managing opinions". But fear not, we are told that the company concerned, apparently called Civitas, is no longer working for Oxford academy. The academy has appointed a new PR company, Grebot Donnelly Associates, which assures us that its client is "fully committed to an ongoing and genuine dialogue with all stakeholders". So that's all right then.
· Or is it? We will have a better idea when we see what happens in Barrow-in-Furness. The formal consultation showed that most people were against the proposed new academy. Then, in the local government elections, an anti-academy campaigner unseated the Conservative leader of the council. Four anti-academy campaigners were elected, and the fifth missed out by one vote. In the ward most affected, it was a clean sweep: an anti-academy Lib Dem was elected alongside the campaigners. Will the government cough up the money for Barrow schools without forcing them down the academy route? Or will they seek to "manage opinions" in Barrow?
· As anthropologists gathered in Chicago to debate the US military's use of their subject, there was much talk of hard and soft power, of leveraging cultural assets and of the ethics of anthropological counterinsurgency. But what on earth was behind the conference paper The Moral Economy of War: Galula Fetishism and its Consequences for Pax Americana?

Creating budgets and making plans to achieve personal finance goals are common practices for many parents. However, some may overlook the opportunity to include their children in conversations about responsible spending and saving. It's never too early to get your child on the path toward a sound financial future.
When it comes to helping children understand the value of money and the responsibilities that go with it, the earlier, the better. The future comes all too quickly! By introducing your child to financial matters early, you'll help them understand the concept ofmoney and how it works. Here are some ideas to help build your child's financial future:
As your children become interested in money, be it through an allowance or a birthday check from grandma, start teaching them how to handle it wisely. Open a minor membership account for them and and help them begin saving.
Set savings goals with your children and discuss the best ways to achieve them. Is there a new toy they're pining after? How long will it take to save up enough allowance to make the purchase?
As their savings grow, start instilling responsible consumer behavior in your children. Help them avoid impulse buying and demonstrate how to compare items based on price and quality.
Navy Federal has a suite of products available to our youngest members, with options that will grow along with them and their finances.
With money of their own, take your children to open their own accounts. Our Basic Savings and SaveFirst accounts are both great places to start. If your children earn an allowance, decide with them how much will be deposited into their account and how much they can spend.
For long-term savings, our Education Savings Account (ESA) offers tax-free savings when the funds are used for education expenses, and our EasyStart℠ Certificate is only $100 to start with a 12-month term. Both options allow you and your children to contribute toward future financial goals.
Help your students make the switch from paper to plastic responsibly with Visa® Buxx. Our reloadable prepaid card allows parents to set spending limits and manage account activity to reinforce the importance of smart spending.
When they hit high school or get ready to head off to college, a Campus Checking account is the next step to well-managed financial independence.
No minimum balance is required, and no monthly service fee applies. With a free Navy Federal Debit Card included with the account, cardholders can make purchases at millions of locations worldwide and have free access to cash at over thousands of ATMs.
As your children grow, there's bound to be a shift in their spending and saving habits. It's essential to continue the conversations about financial goals and responsible consumer behavior as they graduate from simple savings accounts to prepaid cards and checking accounts. Our online Account Access and Mobile Banking help accomplish that. Both you and your child can have free, fast and secure access to view balances, make deposits and transfers, set up text alerts and more.
No matter what route you decide to go, know that starting early is the best way to build responsible financial habits for your children.
We'd like to be there every step of the way as you teach your children financial responsibility. Our Minor Membership Accounts are perfect for young savers, and just like you, they'll be members for life.

Poll: Most oppose Syria strike
By JENNIFER AGIESTA,
and LARA JAKES
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Only 1 in 5 Americans believe that failing to respond to chemical weapons attacks in Syria would embolden other rogue governments, rejecting the heart of a weeks-long White House campaign for U.S. military strikes, an Associated Press poll concluded Monday.
The poll of 1,007 adults nationwide found that most Americans oppose even a limited attack on Syria — likely with cruise missiles — despite Obama administration warnings that inaction would risk national security and ignore a gruesome humanitarian crisis. And a slim majority — 53 percent — fear that a strike would lead to a long-term U.S. military commitment in Syria.
The survey reflects a U.S. public that is tired of Mideast wars after a dozen years of military action in Iraq and Afghanistan. It undercuts political support President Barack Obama is hoping to garner as he seeks congressional authorization this week to strike the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"We need to stop being so aggressive militarily," Izzy Briggs, a business services consultant from Epsom, N.H., said Monday. "I think these small countries are feeling very intimidated by the U.S. and some feel they have to have these sorts of weapons."
U.S. officials have cited a high confidence in intelligence that indicates Assad's government launched the Aug. 21 attacks that they say killed more than 1,400 Syrians. Obama last year warned Assad that using chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war would amount to a "red line" that, if crossed, would bring a swift U.S. response.
In the weeks since the attacks, the administration has argued that hostile governments in Iran and North Korea, and extremist groups like Hezbollah, would be more likely to use weapons of mass destruction in future conflicts if Assad is not punished. To bolster the case, U.S. officials last weekend also released grim video footage showing young children gasping for breath and rows of dead bodies in the hours after the chemical attack in the Damascus suburbs.
But support in Congress is lukewarm at best, and many lawmakers have questioned whether the strikes would create more of a problem for the U.S. than they would help the nearly three year effort to overthrow Assad.
"We must balance the legitimate concerns that Americans have about the use of military force with our strategic interests," said Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., who on Monday announced she would not support the White House plan.
U.S. opposition to striking Syria cuts across party lines, as does doubt that an American attack would deter other world leaders from using chemical weapons.
The poll indicated that 53 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of independents and 73 percent of Republicans believe Congress should vote against the plan to strike Syria. Only one out of four Democrats think that an attack would deter other world leaders from acquiring and using chemical weapons; even fewer Republicans and independents agreed.
"It's not good what they're doing to their own people, but we don't want to start World War III," said Rosie Vega, a retired receptionist who was at a Glendale, Calif., bakery on Monday morning.
Overall, 61 percent of people surveyed said they wanted Congress to vote against authorizing U.S. military strikes in Syria, the poll found. By comparison, 26 percent said they supported it, and the rest were undecided.
Just 16 percent of Americans said they did not think that the limited strikes would lead to a longer military campaign, the poll indicated. And an overwhelming majority — 75 percent — said they do not support sending U.S. troops to Syria. Obama has already pledged that will not happen.
The Syria dilemma has become a major test of Obama's political mettle on national security and foreign policy issues. After months of resisting U.S. military action in Syria, the White House abruptly reversed course after the Aug. 21 attacks — only to confront withering public support both at home and abroad.
The AP poll found that 54 percent of people do not approve the way Obama has handled the U.S. response to Syria. That marked an increase from the 43 percent in June 2012.
Darrell West, vice president of governance studies at the Brookings Institution think-tank in Washington, said Obama is likely to play on Americans' emotions to convince them to support strikes.
"It is very difficult for a president to persuade people when they've already made up their mind against some type of foreign intervention," West said Monday. "But what he can do is basically explain much better than he has done to date about what has been going on in Syria, the use of chemical weapons, the impact on young children and women there."
Released Monday, the AP poll was conducted September 6-8 by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,007 adults nationwide. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points; it is larger for subgroups.

These fabulous spirals are made using the ancient filigree technique and are made from Sterling and Fine Silver components. They started out as flat shapes which were then filled with the delicate filigree wire showing off the miligrain affect of the wire, all hand forged and milled for these earrings. The trick is in the shaping and twisting to achieve the desired affect which allows the light to reflect off the polished surfaces and gives dimension to these pieces. The earrings are truly elegant and compliment any wardrobe and can be worn for work Play or evenings where they really stand out. They are polished to a high shine while the filigree is depletion gilded; a technique for raising the pure silver to the surface and crating the stark white contrast between the filigree and the Sterling Silver which has been highly polished. They measure approximately 2.25 inches in overall length.

By Laurie Kellman, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON The Bush administration, bowing to an uproar over its firing of eight federal prosecutors, agreed Thursday to tightening the law for replacing U.S. attorneys and letting Congress hear from senior officials with roles in the ousters.
"The attorney general told us the administration would not oppose our legislation requiring Senate confirmation for all U.S. attorneys," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., after a private meeting with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
He and other senators said Gonzales also agreed to let five of his top aides involved in the firings talk with the committee, rather than wait for the panel to authorize subpoenas.
In another development casting a cloud over the Justice Department, a report to be released Friday accuses the FBI of underreporting its use of the Patriot Act to force businesses to turn over customer information in terrorism cases, according to officials familiar with its findings.
The report also says the FBI failed to send follow-up subpoenas to telecommunications firms that were told to expect them, according to several government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the report by the Justice Department's inspector general had not yet been released.
Overall, the FBI underreported the number of national security letters it issued by about 20 percent between 2003 and 2005, the officials said. In 2005 alone, the FBI delivered a total of 9,254 letters relating to 3,501 U.S. citizens and legal residents.
Six of the eight ousted prosecutors told House and Senate committees on Tuesday they were dismissed without explanation. Some said the dismissals followed calls from members of Congress -- Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. Heather Wilson, New Mexico Republicans -- concerning sensitive political corruption investigations.
Others said they feared the Justice Department would retaliate against them for talking with reporters and giving lawmakers information about their dismissals.
The meeting with Gonzales occurred a few hours after Sen. Arlen Specter, ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, gave Gonzales and his department a dressing down for the controversy.
Specter said the attorney general wrongly besmirched the fired U.S. attorneys by saying most of them had been dismissed for poor performance and calling the uproar an "overblown personnel matter" Thursday in a column Gonzales wrote in USA Today.
"I hardly think that it's a personnel matter," Specter, Philadelphia's former federal prosecutor, said. "And I hardly think that it's been overblown."
He also suggested Gonzales might suffer a similar professional fate as the fired prosecutors.
"One day there will be a new attorney general, maybe sooner rather than later," Specter said.
The message apparently hadn't reached the White House.
"My view is this is unfortunately a very big attempt by some in the Congress to make a political stink about it," presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday told a crowd of more than 700 at an event hosted by the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
Still unclear is whether Gonzales will allow his aides to speak with the Senate panel in private or at a public hearing. The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday also demanded to speak with the officials.
They are: Michael Elston, Kyle Sampson, Monica Goodling, Bill Mercer and Mike Battle.
Sampson is Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' chief of staff, Elston is staff chief to Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and Mercer is associate attorney general. Goodling is Gonzales' senior counsel and White House liaison, and Battle is the departing director of the office that oversees the 93 U.S. attorneys.
The developments came two days after the fired prosecutors told their stories during eight hours of hearings by the Senate panel and the House Judiciary Committee.
The proceedings turned into a display of mudslinging that several Republicans said made them cringe.
The fired prosecutors insisted they had stellar records and didn't deserve the Justice Department saying most of them were replaced for poor performance.
Reversing the Justice Department's previously stated policy of not commenting publicly on personnel matters, William Moschella, a deputy attorney general, then recited before TV cameras the shortcomings of each of the ousted U.S. attorneys.
In private Thursday, Specter offered Gonzales some stiff advice: Acknowledge that the matter is serious.
"And that he take the next step and realize that there is a significant blemish on the records of these individuals," Specter told reporters, referring to the prosecutors. He added, "that he acknowledge that the problem arose because he failed to state the reasons why these people were asked to resign."
Gonzales refused to comment as he exited the private meeting.
Democrats felt the administration had taken advantage of a change in the Patriot Act that took effect a year ago, which lets the attorney general appoint federal prosecutors indefinitely, without Senate confirmation.
Gonzales has denied that was his intent and said he will submit the names of all appointees to the Senate approval process.
Nonetheless, he told senators at Thursday's meeting that the administration would not try to block legislation designed to reverse the change in the law. Sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the bill would impose a 120-day deadline on attorneys general for the nomination and Senate confirmation of appointees to any of the nation's federal prosecutors' posts. After 120 days, appointment authority would go to federal district courts.
Previously, the administration said 120 days was an unreasonably short time.
Separately Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee demanded interviews with the five Justice Department officials and documents connected with the firings.

But today in front of the Treasury Select Committee he took a tougher line, casting himself as the prophet of doom. 'It bears repeating,' he said. 'The level of house price inflation, the growth of house prices is unsustainable and the longer it goes on, the sharper is likely to be the eventual adjustment.' In other words the greater today's gain, the greater tomorrow's pain.
His boss Sir Edward George, perhaps with an eye to the inevitable headlines, sought to cool fears of a bust to follow the boom. Unfortunately, this is not in his gift. It is a bit like the dollar - every central banker wants it to fall but slowly and gently, because the alternative is too awful to contemplate. But in financial markets gentle adjustments are as rare as hen's teeth. The reality is that when people see that prices slide, they rush to sell. Their desire to lock in their profit guarantees that a bust will follow the boom.
Something to Yell about
YELL, the directories business sold in the fire sale of assets by BT a few months ago, confirmed today that it is coming back to the stock market. The indicative float price is between 270p and 345p a share, which puts a mid-point value on the equity of just over £2bn.
The float is a chunky one for the market in its current mood, given that it is planned to raise rather more than £1bn from new investors so that they will hold 51% of the equity. Of this, £750m will be new money with the balance of £300m going to venture capitalists Apax and Hicks Muse, which financed the original purchase from BT and are unloading some shares.
The debt in the business, currently £2.5bn, drops to £1.2bn. The new money raised will pay off a chunk and an additional slice owned by the venture capitalists will be converted into equity before the float. Overall, therefore, the venture capitalists will maintain their equity commitment - which suggests they think the business still has a long way to go and the offer price is a lot better value than shares of comparative companies in the market place. Venture capitalist sales are not always good value but this market will not pay over the odds.
For a business that has been around as long as Yellow Pages, it is a remarkably strong growth story with unusually good management. The executives have found a new passion since they got out from under BT, which means the business is squeezing out more revenues and maintaining margins in Britain despite a tougher regulatory regime.
The potential is even better in the US, although an apparently mature market, because it is controlled largely by the incumbent telephone companies. These are seen as dinosaurs struggling to fight off a much more aggressive, light and nimble independent sector which has begun to develop rapidly since a court ruling a few years ago that forced the incumbents to hand over the clean phone lists the competitors needed to get into the markets.
Alhough British companies normally make a pig's ear of operations in America, in this case the competiton seems to be as desultory as BT was at exploiting the potential of the business.
So if you believe the Americans will remain a sufficiently soft touch for Yell to continue to do rather well there - and to expand fast without overreaching itself - you have a powerful reason to buy the shares. They certainly look a more attractive bet than some of the stuff floated recently.
PR message
A QUESTION in Parliament yesterday focused on the apparently unhealthy move of the hitherto unknown Andrew Hood from his post as a special adviser to Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon across town to the financial public relations consultancy Brunswick.
The perceived problem behind the question was an issue that had been raised by BBC radio's Today programme. Special advisers are really just PR people who put a more favourable gloss on what their minister does than departmental Press offices manned by impartial civil servants are willing to do. Nevertheless, when an adviser goes from such an appointment inside a ministry to an external appointment with a PR firm, ought not there be a decent cooling-off period?
Not in this case for two reasons. First, though Brunswick has Rolls-Royce as a client it is not a political lobbying firm in the accepted sense, so Hood's internal knowledge of the MoD will be no use to it. Second, Hood is not being employed as an external PR consultant, but as an internally focused office manager.
What is clear, however, is that Brunswick failed to get this message across to the media. Perhaps the firm needs to retain a PR consultant.

Collaborative Awards More Than $3 Million in Grants to Baltimore City Summer Programs
The Baltimore Summer Funding Collaborative recently announced more than $3 million in grants to 92 nonprofits in support of summer activities in Baltimore City.
Learn more about the work of the Annie E. Casey Foundation by reviewing our latest news releases.
The Baltimore Summer Funding Collaborative recently announced more than $3 million in grants to 92 nonprofits in support of summer activities in Baltimore City.
Under Armour and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) are joining nine of Baltimore's largest charitable and nonprofit organizations to support high-quality summer programs for the city's children and youth in low-income families. The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. Friday, February 17, 2017.
After the Great Recession, the nation's child poverty rate increased steadily, peaking at 23% in 2011. Since then, the rate has been on a slow decline and, in 2015, reached its lowest level in five years, at which point one out of every five children lived in poverty.
The teenagers of Generation Z — the rising cohort born after 1995 that follows the Millennials — broke records in education and health indicators despite growing up in the midst of the economic downturn, according to the 2016 KIDS COUNT Data Book from the Annie. E. Casey Foundation.
Festival on May 21st is free of admission and open to the public. The event includes food, hoops, chess, balloon rides, gospel and home tours in southwest Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood.
More than 5.1 million U.S. kids have a parent who has served time. In a new report, A Shared Sentence: The Devastating Toll of Parental Incarceration on Kids, Families and Communities, the Annie E. Casey Foundation recommended policy reforms that would help millions of children who struggle with emotional and financial instability as a result of having an incarcerated parent.
The Casey Foundation has awarded grants to 43 local nonprofits through its Baltimore Direct Services Grants (BDSG) program, amounting to a combined $860,000 that will support summer activities and programs for hundreds of Baltimore City's young people in 2016.
Outstanding human service and social change leaders from 13 states will develop results-based leadership skills to build bright futures for children and families.
In partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service's Social Innovation Fund, the Annie E. Casey Foundation announced today that it plans to award $5.4 million in grants over the next three years to help more teens and young adults complete high school and postsecondary education and build paths to careers.
Baltimore's largest charitable funders are teaming up, for the second year, to create new summer learning opportunities for city youth.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation recommends federal policy changes to narrow the wide gap in savings between white families and families of color.

I don't know if you have any experience with Li-Ion batteries, but they can be extremely dangerous if you don't do a little initial research. They can literally explode or catch fire if you do not take the correct precautions during use and especially charging.
That being said, I would only buy protected batteries. I can't emphasize that enough. I also only buy AW brand Li-Ion batteries. The next important thing is to buy a quality charger. My favorite charger is a custom made from "Cottonpickers".

text: Dear Town Residents and Property Owners: It has been awhile since our last newsletter and it is time to update you on what has taken place within our Town. You may have noticed that a number of Town roads have been striped. South Shore, River Road, Amacoy Lake Road, and Hutchinson Road will be striped when road work is complete. The Rusk County Highway department will complete work on Amacoy Lake Road and Hutchinson with an overlay sometime this fall. The Town will be constructing a shed to store sand and salt for the upcoming winter season. The Rusk County Highway Department is not always open on Saturday, Sunday, and some holidays. Our shed is being constructed to meet short term needs and this facility will enable us to provide you with the best driving conditions possible throughout the winter. This is the third year the Town of Stubbs has committed resources to Amacoy Lakes Association Grant project to eliminate the infestation of Curly Leaf Pond weed. There is an official grant award letter available for your examination. Just contact the town chair. Lake Amacoy is a valuable asset to the community and we are fully committed to preserving Amacoy Lake for generations. On a different note, Waste Management/Timberline is requesting a $2,000,000 decrease in assessed value. Our assessor, Tom Hanson, is working with the State of Wisconsin to address this issue. Our Board of Review is currently set for September 5. We are not sure at this time how the decreased valuation would impact the property taxes in the Town of Stubbs. You may have noticed numerous trucks hauling material from and to the frac sand site east of Weyerhaeuser. A sand storage facility is being constructed on the site. The frac sand company is going to construct an access road within the Village of Weyerhaeuser for the sand trucks to haul to the facility. The company is currently using Stiles and Norwegian roads for construction. The Town Board will request reimbursement for damage done to the roads. The Canadian National may ask for closure of Norwegian Road. All residents along this road will be contacted and invited to a special meeting on the proposed closure. The board was informed that trains could block Norwegian Road for up to 45 minutes at a time. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact any board member or email us at email@example.com. May summer continue for the next 3 months, fall will be fantastic, and winter will be as short as possible. Art Dixon, Chairman 715 8686844 Jim Zak, supervisor 715 8683279 Duane Taylor, supervisor 715 868 2336

Mar. 6: Asian session
Asian stocks advanced. MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.7% and Japanese Nikkei 225 gained almost 2% as diplomatic efforts moderated the crisis over Ukraine.
USD/JPY rose to 102.70. Japanese yen weakened after a Japanese government advisory panel said Government Pension Investment Fun, the largest pension fund in the world, no longer needs to focus on domestic bonds given quickening inflation and could turn to a bit riskier assets.
Commodity currencies are on demand today. AUD/USD jumped from the session low of $0.8975 to $0.9035 on upbeat Australia data (retail sales rose by 1.2% vs. forecasted 0.7%, trade surplus increased to 1.4B). The pair retraced lower later in the session, but holds above the key $0.9000 support. NZD/USD is trading in the positive zone, but remains capped at the yesterday's high of $0.8940.
EUR/USD edged down to $1.3725, but is above yesterday's low at $1.3707. Euro is under pressure ahead of today's meeting of the ECB. GBP/USD is little changed just above $1.6700.

Pimkie / The Mini Fashion Bar
This story originally appeared on Contagious I/O, our customisable research platform featuring the world's most innovative, creative and effective ad campaigns and marketing ideas
Fashion brand stocks its clothes in boutique hotel rooms across Europe
French fashion brand Pimkie is turning hotel wardrobes into clothing mini-bars with The Mini Fashion Bar, a partnership with a number of boutique hotels in cities across Europe.
Rooms in the participating hotels come with a fully-stocked wardrobe of clothes appropriate for the weather, country and season. Guests can try on the range of clothes and can request different sizes via the hotel's concierge. If there's an outfit they love, the guest can wear it and pay for it when they check-out.
The menu, which features items such as rain coats and comfortable walking shoes, includes a QR code that guests can scan with their mobile phone, allowing them to browse the entire Pimkie range.
The concept, through Happiness in Brussels, is currently available in Antwerp, but is set to appear in other cities across Europe, including Barcelona, Berlin, Milan, Paris and London.
Contagious Insight /
Smart Sampling / Stocking its range in hotel rooms is a disruptive way to tempt a new audience into trying on Pimkie clothes without ever needing to entice them in-store. The novelty factor means there's a good chance that people will try on whatever brand is stocked in the wardrobe, helping to fill any down time guests may have in a more interesting way than channel-hopping. The fashion mini bar also introduces them to Pimkie, a brand they may not have heard of before, at a time when they will be away from home and in the right frame of mind for treating themselves.
Exciting blueprint / This concept offers an exciting blueprint for other brands. While hotels feature some sampling, with cosmetics and drinks brands, this idea shows how much potential still exists. Just imagine Barbour jackets or Hunter wellies being stocked in British country retreats with unreliable weather, or Nike supplying guests who've forgotten their gym kit.
Contextual thinking / The contextual spin Pimkie has put on the campaign is impressive. Adapting the wardrobe to the weather shows it has thought about the wider experience of the target audience, while also plugging a customer pain point. After all, how many times have you realised that the gear you've packed is not quite appropriate for a particular trip? Stocking clothes that assist people in a style dilemma works especially well for Pimkie's brand of affordable fashion. The low price point means the options are perfect panic purchases, yet they're cheap enough for people to add on to their hotel bill without too much wincing when they come to pay.
