Weimer outduels Johnson
By Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside
Unbeaten junior welterweight "Stone Cold" Stevie Weimer continued his winning ways in impressive fashion on Friday night at the Fairgrounds in York, PA, capturing a well earned six round unanimous decision victory over Justin Johnson. In the co-feature of the highly entertaining six bout card promoted by A & D Promotions, lightweight prospect Danny Aquino (9-1, 4KO's) used his superior punching power and hand speed to drop the always dangerous Jason Rorie (6-15-2, 3KO's) once on his way to a convincing four round unanimous decision victory.
It was a big night for unbeaten and hometown favorite junior middleweight "Stone Cold" Stevie Weimer (8-0, 2 KO's) who stepped up into his first main event as a professional, in a six round scrap against Pittsburgh PA's Justin Johnson. Weimer, had quickly become a local favorite in the York area as a boxer who also was willing to trade when challenged, which made for exciting fights throughout his career as a pro.
Weimer looked good in the early going as he boxed well throughout the opening round, but he got cute in the second and dropped his hands, which allowed Butler t land a quick three punch combination.
Justin Johnson tried to establish his jab and box on the inside in the third, but Weimer was the more talented fighter and he even began to win the inside battle as well.
Late in the fourth, Weimer hurt Johnson with a big right hand and then battered him from ring post to ring post. Johnson was a survivor though and avoided enough big shots, so Weimer backed off and as he didn't want to punch himself out.
It looked like Stevie Weimer was looking for his second wind in the fifth by using movement and not trading with Johnson, but a left hook late in the round stunned the Pittsburgh native. Weimer saw the opportunity went for broke, banging with away seven unanswered shots, but the bell sounded just in time to save Johnson.
Weimer appeared ahead on the cards and could have boxed his way to another victory but he wanted the knockout and continued to trade away in throughout the sixth and final round. Neither fighter could land the telling combination, sending the bout to the scorecards. All three judges saw the bout easily in favor of Stevie Weimer by scores of 59-54 x 2 and 60-53 respectively, for the unanimous decision victory.
Stone Stevie Weimer appears to have all the ability to take his game to the next level as his record jumps to 8-0, 2KO's) His punching power appears to be on the increase, as he is setting down on his combinations more. Pittsburgh's PA's Justin Johnson falls to a respectable 2-3-3.
In the Co feature, featherweight prospect Danny Aquino immediately showed he was the stronger puncher than Jason Rorie and it showed in the early going as both exchanged throughout the opening round.
Rorie landed several good combinations during the exchanges in the second, but Aqiono began to wear him do with good bodywork. Rorie started to swing wildly and was caught off balance an overhand right from Aquino and fell to the canvas. Since it came from came from a punch, It was ruled a knockdown. Rorie immediately rose to his feet and was able to box his way out of trouble, but his punches had lost their steam allowing Aquino outwork him throughout the rest of fight. All three judges saw the fight 40-35 in favor of Aquino.
Highly touted lightweight prospect, Rolando Chinea moved to 2-0, 2KO's with a third round stoppage of debuting Deandre Walker. Chinea had to overcome a lot of choppy work on the inside as Walker was warned several times for holding and hitting. Chinea remained composed though and hurt his opponent with short one two's on the inside. Walker constantly bent over to avoid several of the flurries of Chinea., but he eventually turned away from the constant pressure, forcing referee Gary Rosato to call a halt to the contest at the 2:38 mark of the third.
Junior welterweights, Jesus Saucedo and Clifford Gregory waged war in a fight that could have been fought in a phone booth as they traded away right from the opening bell to the final minute of their four round contest. Saucedo appeared to be the stronger puncher and took the opening two rounds as both traded away in the center of the ring.
Saucedo hurt his hand in the third and had to slow his pace a little, allowing Gregory to outwork him. Saucedo knew the bout was close and finished strong as he rocked Gregory in the closing seconds of the fight. All three judges saw the bout in favor of York PA's Jesus Saucedo by scores 40-36 and 39-37 x 2 giving him the unanimous decision victory. Saucedo remains unbeaten at 4-0-1, while Buffalo, New York's Clifford Gregory slips to 1-8-4.
Debuting cruiserweights Dave Belykeo and Greg Brady waged war over four solid rounds. Brady owned a several inch reach advantage and controlled the opening round behind solid jabs and long combinations. Belykeo started to turn the tide late in round two as he found his mark on the inside with heavy hooks up top. The heavy handed Belykeo stepped up the pressure throughout the third round with good bodywork and a few nice uppercuts. Both fighters tired in the fourth, but Belykeo controlled the final round with short combinations late and a nice uppercut. One judge had the bout even at 38-38, but was overruled by the other two officials who both had it 39-37 in favor of Dave Belykeo, giving him the hard earned four round majority decision victory.
Robert "R. J."Sockwell (3-2, 3KO's) needed only two minutes and twenty four seconds to finish off winless junior middleweight Andrew Jones (0-10-1) in the opening four round contest. Sockwell found his way on the inside in the early going and floored Jones with a left. Jones rose to his feet, but looked stunned, so Sockwell unleashed seven unanswered shots before referee Vic de Wysocki stepped in and rightfully called a halt to the contest. It was the first time that Jones had been stopped in his career.

Our Continuous Quest for Silence
All week on Soundcheck we've been talking about noise -- and we've been asking you how you block it out of your life. On Tuesday, we spoke with Professor David Hendy of the University of Sussex in England about his recent 30-part BBC 4 radio series called "Noise: A Human History." It examined 100,000 years of human noise and how it's shaped civilization.
We've gotten permission from the BBC and Rockethouse Productions to bring you a shortened excerpt of the final episode of that series. Our excerpt starts off with David Hendy speaking from the New York Life Insurance building right here in our hometown of New York City.
Take a listen -- and if you like what you hear, all 30 episodes of "Noise: A Human History" will be available on Audiogo.com beginning on Monday, May 6.

As an avid personal investor I'm often appalled by cable shows that report on the markets as if they were non-stop sporting events. Seriously, how many people care how the NASDAQ or the Dow are doing on any given minute of any given day? But apparently there are enough day traders out there that noon reports from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange are as compelling as half-time reports during the NFL playoffs.
I have to confess that there is one piece of financial analysis that I do look forward to – though in my defense, this is an annual occurrence and not an hourly update. The analysis comes from Jon Picoult, a gentleman who runs Watermark Consulting.
For a while now Jon has been taking the data from Forrester's Customer Experience Index (CXi) and using it to do a thought experiment. In this experiment he looks at what would have happened if, back when we first published the CXi, an investor had taken two equal buckets of money and created two U.S. stock portfolios. The first portfolio would have consisted of the top 10 publicly traded companies in our index (the customer experience leaders). The second portfolio would have consisted of the bottom 10 publicly traded companies in the index (the customer experience laggards).
In Jon's model the investor would have held each portfolio for a year, then sold them both and taken his profits (or losses). He would have then used the proceeds to purchase the new year's leaders and the new year's laggards, continuing this cycle of selling and buying for all six years that the CXi has been in existence.
Intriguing, right? Even those of us who believe in the business value of customer experience (or in my case can prove it through research) don't normally look at the impact on stock performance.
Posted by Harley Manning on the Customer Experience Professionals Blog on March 1, 2013
Last month, I was in Europe with a group of customer experience professionals from various divisions of the same large company. Although their expertise was at varying levels, no one was clueless, and everyone seemed highly motivated. About halfway through the all-day session, one of the attendees asked me a question that I'm going to paraphrase here.
After some preamble about the pressures the company was under to increase revenue and profits, he asked, "Given that, when should we put aside the need for profits and fund customer experience projects instead?"
His question surprised me. And I clearly surprised him when I responded, "Never." I let that hang in the air for a moment so that it could sink in. Then I added, "You should never put aside the need for profits when you fund customer experience projects."
I could see that people were a little confused, so I went on. "You should only fund customer experience projects that will produce profits. That's why you do those projects in the first place. And if you have other kinds of projects that will produce better business results, do them instead. But if you take the time to create the business models for your CX projects, you'll probably find that they'll produce better ROI than most of the initiatives they're competing against."
To be clear, the guy who had asked the question seemed very bright and had a lot of expertise in his area (metrics and measurement). But he had fallen into the same trap that so many customer experience advocates fall into. He wasn't thinking of improving customer experience as a path to achieving business results. Instead, he was thinking of it just as a generally good thing to do for customers (which it is, but that's not why you should do it).
Posted by Harley Manning on the Customer Experience Professionals Blog on October 12, 2012
Last week I got a question via email from one of Forrester's clients, who asked:
"How do you explain the success of companies that consistently provide a poor experience but perform well financially?"
I wish more people asked this question because it shows that they're thinking about customer experience in the right context: as a path to profits. Here's my answer: Creating a superior customer experience is the most important thing that companies need to do. But it will never be the only important thing they need to do.
My co-author and I describe the relationship between customer experience and other factors that lead to business success in Chapter 13 of our new book, Outside In:
"Is customer experience a silver bullet that will kill off all your company's problems and make your stock price soar? No. If there is such a bullet, we haven't seen it. The fact is, regardless of your customer experience, you can still get clobbered by a big, strategic threat like a new market entrant (Netflix if you're Blockbuster) or a substitute product (digital photography if you're Polaroid). That's especially true if the new market entrant or the provider of the substitute product offers an amazing customer experience (Amazon.com if you're Borders or Barnes & Noble)."
When you have a virtual monopoly, you can get away with providing a poor customer experience — right up until you can't.

In January 2008 I spent $1500.00 to have Radiesse put in the Naso lines and brow furrows. Very lumpy looking, don't know if it was the product or the doctor just didn't take the time to smooth away the lumps. This product was supposed to last for up to a year thus the higher cost. By June it was gone completely. Juv and Restalyne seem to work just fine for me and last about the same time frame. They are also much less expense wise.

Are Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush rekindling their romance? Well, if they do, they'd get a stamp of approval from Khloe Kardashian!
There's been talk that Kim and the NFL football star, who dated from 2007 to 2010 (as in pre-Kris Humphries marriage fiasco and Miles Austin fling), have been hanging out again. And truly it's only talk—there are no photos of them canoodling, hand holding or even standing in the same room. In fact, there are no photos, period--only a report that they lunched together on the patio at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills on Sunday. However, Khloe has now acknowledged the gossip—and weighed in on a possible reunion—making it seem like there could be a ring of truth to the story.
"I love 'The Bush and The Tush,'" Kim's little sis told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show earlier today. "You can't do much better than that."
However, when pressed for further details, Khloe wouldn't confirm that Kim and Reggie even dined together.
"I think they both were just at the same place at the same time," Khloe said. "I don't think they were on a date together."
Well, it certainly would be a major coincidence that of all the restaurants in Los Angeles, Kim and Reggie were at the same one at the same time on the same patio. Just saying. But we'll soon see whether "The Bush and the Tush" are giving it another go…and I kinda hope that they are for no reason other than I love their new nickname and I would laugh to myself whenever I'd have to type it.
Do you think Kim and Reggie should give their relationship another try--or do you think the reality TV star needs to find someone totally and completely new? Weigh in.

@Shakara, either you are close to Albino or as dark as ever, thats why you'll never understand.
I am fair and have never used any form of bleaching in my life! my knuckles are slightly darker than everywhere else, including my knees and elbows. in fact, i think most people are like that. unless you have various forms of other ethnicities in your bloodstream. I don't anything out of the ordinary about Adaeze's knuckles, so stop making noise. you wanna see a bleached hand? look at Rukky Sanda. hissssss, anyway.
Adaeze is looking just okay. she used to look better before her baby. IDK if its the hair or the outfit, but she doesn't have her old "sting." some will probably crucify me and say "SHE'S A MARRIED WOMAN AND A MOTHER!" but remember, she is still only 21-22 or so.
and @babz....well since i do read her tweets once in a while, she worked out like crazy to loose the baby weight.

Anon February 24, 2011 3:39 PM; thanks for your comments. We've been on this blog like forever and Alicia just started coming here like last week and all she spews is bile. She's the same person someone said is Ghanaian because of her obnoxious comments re-ankara shoes in Aldo. By the way did i mention bleaching anywhere in my comment? Last time i checked there was still freedom of speech. It's obvious those who typed bleaching are the ones who bleach and have a complex about it. Alicia, hook me up to clear your black knuckles, knees, elbows, inner thighs, armpits and ankles. You are so uncouth! People like you forget that those areas are all hard skinned and need special care on their own.
- 24 February 2011 at 16:53
@ anonymous 3:39 PM
what is your issue? did you really just dedicate a whole essay to me? I'M FLATTERED! lmfao!
"i understand the scarcity of jobs in nigeria but pls try and change course a little bit" too much ignorance in this place. can i be in Nigeria to begin with? second of all, you don't know a damn thing about me, so i suggest you shut that trap you call a mouth.
yes i comment with a name, while you always remain totally anonymous. HISSSS.
there are PLENTY of people that come to Linda's blog daily, so what is your beef? GO TO WORK and stop reading all of the comments here, because you know what that says about yourself? and allow me to remain on Linda's blog. are you feeding or clothing me?
another yeye girl, mtcheeew!!!

pretty girl, wrong outfit. Linda, you have to be objective.

@Shakra (don end ooooo)
I've actually been on this blog longer than you think. i never said i had BLACK knuckles, etc... i said they are slightly darker than everywhere else. or you no sabi read again?
what else would you have been talking about when mentioning dark knuckles? oh please give me a break.

Im bleaching and my knuckles are not dark. So how can u verify who is bleaching and whos not?? SMH
- 24 February 2011 at 20:43
Most of you yabbing have probably never had a child and don't have a clue what a woman goes through to bring a life into this world. As a new mother myself, I commend Mrs. Yobo for working hard to get herself back after birthing a child. She looks better than most first time mothers and many women that have never had a child.
As for the so called bleaching argument, let it rest people. Mrs. Yobo is light in color to begin with and having dark knuckles is not conclusive proof that she bleaches. Even if she does...what is your own?
- 24 February 2011 at 23:37
@ anon 8:43pm, you are my role model haha! i use toning creams too and my knuckles are doing fantastic...I laugh when these 'bleaching' cops think they know who is and who isn't. GET A LIFE
- 24 February 2011 at 23:55
Beyonce and Rihanna are bleaching. How come they don't have "tell-tale signs"?? LOL @ people who think they know people that are bleaching! You wish you look half as good as her or even afford to use the cream she's using!! Idiots!
- 25 February 2011 at 01:18
I dont bleach and my knuckles are darker than the rest of my skin,alot darker..Does that incriminate me for a crime I dont commit?Lol.Lets move on from this bleaching topic and use all that ferocious energy to do something else more meaningful,like chew gum.Lol.Seriously :)

- 25 February 2011 at 13:40
Anonymous 11.15am - i do believe you are munachi because of all the things being said about adaeze, my joking comment is what you picked up on. if you don't like that i called your name munachi, just say so, it wasn't meant to be an insult, i was wondering out loud because you two were compared a lot.
don't tell me to get a life when you obviously don't have one since you are here reading LI's blog as well. if you had a life, you wouldn't be fleeting from one party to the next, do they pay appearance fees for that? what do you actually do for a living? you are not an actress, a singer, tv host, author, radio host or at least a wife to somebody because quiet as it's kept, that is a job. so what exactly do you do that give you the right to tell me to get a life? foolish woman, if you don't have anything to say go and drink cold water and go to sleep!
PS: The word "like" in a sentence is so third grade, ooppps sorry, make that elementary 4! do something about upgrading your vocabulary, okay sweetie because a pretty face without a brain, is just that...a pretty face and pretty can take you but so far.

I have known u from the Nina feud days I was even exchange virle comments wit nina on ur behalf. I thot u were matured then and admired the way u handled things but i now know that u a sad excuse for a human being. You are so uncouth. Anyway u insulted Linda on her own blog it tells alot about u. You just dont throw insults at people u are obviously jealous of because u think the replied ur comment without being sure. I dont need to tell u to get a life. I know u dont have one and the is no hope of getting one. Fool!!!

You said you wouldn't dignify me with a response yet you went on to comment on my thoughts. I never asked for your support, I don't know you, I don't care to know you and I don't really give damn about your analyses and what you perceive to be me. I come to Linda's blog to have a good laugh, when you see my posts feel free to NOT comment on it but if you are itching to do so because you find me oh so fascinating, please feel just as free to say something but either way, let's be clear about one thing, I don't give a good goddamn what you think of me, and I don't need your "suppport" unless you are planning on paying off my bills for me, now that is the kind of support I could use:))
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, boo-boo because that little rant of yours doesn't speak much of the time you are having, get a glass of wine and relax, okay? Smoooches!
- 27 February 2011 at 02:28
@ chichiluv. Get a grip on ur sorry ass life. Having a bad weekend doesnt compare to having a hateful and sad existence like urs. Do sometin abt ur life before giving out advice on my bad weekend. Nobody is impressed by or fasinated by u in the lest. Get off u high horses cause u sound so ignorant. You need more than a glass of wine. A change of mindset and attitude will do. Smooches to u too.
- 27 February 2011 at 17:37
Linda, what happened to your censorship? There are now too many people abusing one another here and it's just not on. It's cyber bullying!
Adaeze is still pretty. She's looking like a fully grown rich woman now.

The Foundation's program, Project HealthDesign: Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records, was designed to expand a vision of personal health records and encourage the market to develop products that meet the diverse needs of patients. MyMediHealth has allowed the Vanderbilt project to explore the vision of medication management in an era with interoperable medication history and other data. At present, Vanderbilt is prototyping the components into an existing PHR platform, so that they can demonstrate the comprehensive capabilities and complex informatics requirements for MyMediHealth.Transitional funds for the MyMediHealth project have been provided so that this interim period can be utilized to conduct usability studies of core components and of the tools needed to teach PHR-naïve families in order to get maximum benefit from this technology. These tools will provide preliminary data to allow continued development and the refinement of the model for a child-centered PHR.

According to Reuters, "News Corp, whose global media interests stretch from movies to newspapers that can make or break political careers, has endured an onslaught of negative press since a phone-hacking scandal at its News of the World tabloid" in 2011. One danger in this mix of private power even over government officials and being publicly criticized is that Rupert Murdoch could use his power in vengeance to retaliate. The public does not often suspect that such a high-profile and financially successful person could act so irresponsibility, but we ought not take what we are shown at face value. There is, after all, a public relations industry.
Rupert Murdoch, owner of News Corp.
As reported by a few government officials and press outfits in the E.U., the News of the World tabloid's managers had been paying off state police in Britain in order to hack the phones of government officials and celebrities, those managers reacted by retaliating by hiring at least one private detective to follow Tom Watson, a member of the British House of Commons, and Mark Lewis, a lawyer. A biographer who had been in regular contact with Rupert Murdoch over months told Frontline (PBS) that Murdoch had a habit of remarking that he had pictures of this person or another—meaning that if people did not measure up, Murdoch would destroy them publically. His newspapers, which were not that profitable anyway, were for such influence over government officials or otherwise retaliating against "enemies."
After "the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Australian Financial Review newspaper . . . said [in March 2012] that News Corp's pay-TV smartcard security unit, NDS, had promoted piracy attacks on rivals," Murdoch tweeted: "Seems every competitor and enemy piling on with lies and libels. So bad, easy to hit back hard, which preparing." This reply is telling, for it makes Murdoch's overriding instinct to exact vengeance transparent. Even referring to critics as enemies is excessive, given the possibility that Murdoch's company had at the very least broken the law in Europe by paying off a police department and hacking into private voicemail accounts.
To claim that someone is an enemy simply for uncovering or reporting illegal or unethical activities merely points back to the source as sordid and perhaps even pathological in nature. "Enemies many different agendas, but worst old toffs and right wingers who still want last century's status quo with their monopolies," he tweeted. "Toff" itself might be a relic of a prior century; I have never heard of the word. Moreover, Murdoch's squalid approach to business might hopefully be one day relegated to an earlier age, if there is such a thing as progress in terms of business ethics.
The lesson for us goes beyond one newspaper man, whether it be Hearst in the twentieth century or Murdoch in the twenty-first (at least physically). Might it be that we, the general public, assume too much regarding the maturity of people of position, even if the status has come in part from having built up a company from the ground up? Might it be that we ascribe too much to status itself—that we are in a status society wherein position counts for more than is entitled? Consider, for example, the childish mentality and behavior of Richard Fuld, the CEO who brought Lehman Brothers down in 2008 by piling on real estate debt to excess in an effort to catch up to JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs.
If with great power comes great responsibility—a phrase uttered by Cliff Robertson in the film, Spiderman—then what do we do when childish, vengeful people are ensconced in positions of power? Considering the damage such people can wreck out of a sense of being personally wronged, society itself has the right to step in and rid the offenders of such power. I am not suggesting a personality test that they must pass every few years like renewing a driver's license. Rather, once scandal has broken out in a major company, a government's justice department should be able to have a presence in the company, keeping the CEO on a firm leash.
Unfortunately, where a society (and government) finds it to be in its interest to allow private power to be amassed to such an extent that the government itself can no longer act as a corrective on a company's CEO, then the society really is at the mercy of a spoiled child. At the very least, we ought to recognize a CEO such as Fuld or Murdoch as such. If we then look the other way, we have only ourselves to blame for whatever havoc they wreck.

Hi i'm new to bimmerfest bought my fisrt bmw in may just picked up my 5th bmw its a 2001 750il 178000 miles. transmission whining very loud and torque converter not locking up changed trany fluid and filter it quieted the whining down alot but still some whining even when warm. changed torque converter with new one it now locks up but tranny still whines seems to shift good . this is my first 750 and 5hp30 trans so I don't know how much noise it should make if any. sometimes there is a rattling noise from torque converter area [with the old and new torque converter] would it be time for complete rebuild or maybe valve body rebuild
Might be transmission filter. Aftermarket ones have weak plastics and bend than cause noises like whining. Could be valve-body

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Northern Arizona men's tennis begins
Spring play on Thursday, hosting Sacramento State at Flagstaff
Athletic Club East. Match time has been moved up to noon due to
forecasted heavy snow. The Lumberjacks will also host Montana State
on Saturday as they open the 2010 season with a pair of Big Sky
With six new players and nine of 10 players with either freshman or sophomore standing, the young Northern Arizona men's tennis team is in the process of building a winning tradition on the mountain campus. Powered by sophomore Andrew Reiff, who earned All-Big Sky First Team honors as a freshman in 2009, the young NAU squad is looking to build on a 3rd place Big Sky finish a season ago and win their first Big Sky title since 1997.
Reiff posted a 15-10 overall singles record and a 7-1 dual mark in 2009, quickly ascending to the No. 1 singles spot. He went 10-5 playing at No. 1, while also going 5-3 at No. 2 doubles in his first season at NAU. He ended the season on a five-match winning streak and was the only Lumberjack to appear in all 25 singles matches and 24 doubles tilts.
Junior David Flodberg looks to build on an 11-13 2009 and 5-3 record in Big Sky play in 2009. Along with a 7-11 doubles mark playing predominately at No. 1double, the native of Sweden earned Big Sky Honorable Mention a year ago. Sophomore Robin Pezzutto also returns after a 5-3 Big Sky singles record as a freshman playing predominately at No. 4.
The remainder of the starting six for NAU will likely be comprised of new faces. Freshman Patrick Schimmelbauer looks to build on a 7-8 fall singles record and a 4-5 doubles mark teaming with Flodberg. Another newcomer, French freshman Hugo Ramadier posted an 8-5 record in the fall including a streak of eight wins in nine matches through the initial-two tournaments of the Fall season. Rounding out the starting six will likely be freshman Kevin Taylor after the native of Canada posted a team-best 8-4 record during the Fall season. Sophomores Ben Lantz and Josh Brown as well as freshmen Andres Perez and Tyler Roos will add depth to the new-look Lumberjacks
2009 posts a challenging schedule for the Lumberjacks, including five of eight Big Sky matches on the road. NAU opens with a pair of home conference matches against Sacramento State and Montana State on January 21 and 23, respectively. The Lumberjacks will also host Grand Canyon and Scottsdale Community College before closing their home schedule against Big Sky foe Montana on March 1, hoping to repeat 2009's perfect 5-0 home season.
Of the Lumberjack's 17 matches away from Flagstaff, the toughest tests should be a March 30 match at No. 49 New Mexico and a January 29 meeting at UNLV, ranked No. 73 in the preseason ITA Team rankings. Pac-10 power Oregon battles NAU in Phoenix on April 2, while WCC foe Gonzaga and Air Force out of the Mountain West Conference will also pose challenging road matches.
In the preseason Big Sky coaches poll, NAU was picked to finish in sixth place, ahead of Portland State, Northern Colorado and Idaho State. The Lumberjacks will look to fend off defending champion Sacramento State in a bid to ride a slew of young talent to a conference title in Director of Tennis Kim Bruno's second-season as head of the NAU men's team.

The snowmen (and women) of Saumarez Park
SNOWMEN and women were built from the glistening ground of Saumarez Park this morning.
SNOWMEN and women were built from the glistening ground of Saumarez Park this morning.
Battle lines were also drawn between families and friends as snowball fights broke out in the early morning chill.
Sisters Nicole and Mireille Guilmoto, with their friend Evie Weeks were among the youngsters at Saumarez who had been unable to get to school due to the standstill traffic in the early morning.
They had built a snowman and woman together.
'It took us about 15 minutes, said 17-year-old Evie. 'It was hard work pushing them - our feet slipped.'
Nicole, 15, said they had been constructing a head for their snowman but it was too big and they decided to make a woman as well.
Her sister Mireille, 17, added: 'You can't make a snowman without making a woman.'

Unable to get to school but evidently able to get to Saumarez Park. Where there's a will there's a way I suppose....and who can blame them. I'd have probably done the same thing! :-)
Island Wide Voting
That's got to be a set up photo!
Those three young ladies must be agency models surely ?
These girls are highly underage. Your comment seems very ill-advised.
It seems Jimmy Saville is still alive...
Pepe Le Pew
That's it, my suspicions are confirmed that the world has gone totally mad. He only asked if the girls were agency models. Perhaps the GP photographer should be investigated too?
Sensible people still accept it is possible to acknowledge beauty without any sinister sexual connotation whatsoever. I regularly tell my daughter she is attractive and intend to do so throughout her life until the day I die - and woe betide anyone who suggests there's anything sexual in that.
Well said, PLP
Island Wide Voting
Well Mr Rice,if there is ever enough cash left in the kitty to form a 'Thought Police' unit IQ will be your first volunteer
I suppose some people do not know about the link between actions and consequences. I don't particularly like snow and I would much prefer do work, rather than build an 'exciting' snowman.
The trouble is that events that bring rare phenomena afford certain individuals the excuse to skive.
You are a sad, probably lonely, excuse for a human being. What on earth is wrong with a few young people enjoying themselves in the snow ? Get a life before it passes you by.
I think you need to seriously reconsider your choice of vocabulary. It irks me when I hear words such as 'sad' as they hold very little true meaning and mar the beauty of the English Language. You obviously lack the capacity to appreciate and embrace the dfferent sentiments of this forum and therefore the ones that pervade this society.
So perhaps it's you that needs to 'get a life' and, before you say 'I don't know who you are to tell me to go and get a life', remember that, just because you are an adult, it doesn't mean that what your saying is not nasty. If you are an adult then you ought to know better.
Anyway, have you heard the adage "Work now , play later" ; perhaps these individuals ought to use their time more profitably as, once they have worked hard, they can then become more lax.
Agreed, the kids should be locked away in mines and factory's - they can play when they are 90!
L'eree Lad
The only person who should be locked away is Ed - somewhere with no internet access ideally.
His posts have long since ceased to be clever or amusing and are now just an irritant.
Ed, please do everyone a favour and melt away for good like Friday's snow...
Call me old fashioned but if I was ever off school for whatever reason the instructions from the parents was clearly to stay in if I couldnt make school then forget about going out, I guess parents these days dont care what their children get up to as long as they are out from under their feet
Terry Langlois
Call me "normal" but whenever I had the day off school due to snow the instructions were to get out there and make the most of it. Life is made up of such moments.
Pepe Le Pew
Agreed Terry. I don't believe schools should close unless the conditions are severe (which yesterday they weren't) but when they do it's time to play!
We complain about the nanny state, well yesterday Education got it broadly right by opening every school (bar one - whose staff probably wanted to loosen their inner child!) whilst acknowledging that ultimate responsibility for children is in the hands of parents. If a parent decided they'd rather their child had the day off to experience the fun of some rare snow I for one wouldn't blame them.
JJ, at 15 and 17 the girls can hardly be classed as 'children'
Lighten up!
I drove 54 miles to, AND from work today in the snow because I had to. (Gsy ex-pat in SE England) And I managed it.
It took me 2hrs30m on the way back.
These guys "couldn't" get to school? Too slippy, perhaps. Only in Guernsey do weak excuses wash like that.
Congratulations, I'm proud of you, you're a legend (in your own head)
Pepe Le Pew
....and you still had time left to post a comment at 3am.
Chuck Norris eat your heart out. :-)
Paule (Guern in UK)
As someone rightly said "Lighten up"
Blah blah snow, blah blah work, blah blah !
For goodness sake, if these young uns want to go build a snowman, let it be.
So what if they and others miss a day or two of school, there are over 300 schools closed here where i live and from what i have seen the kids are taking advantage of their unplanned day off and going out building snowman (and snowwomen of course!) sledging and snow ball fights.
What is the harm i ask?
Go on then tell me........
There is no apparent harm, but there perhaps is some form of subtle harm. Do these young people have any form of wisdom ? Don't they prioritise activities that will, in the long term, of avail to them over ones of which the excitement and pleasure will soon vaporise ?
The fact that many Sixth Formers decided to leave at lunchtime just goes to illustrate the degree of commitment and that these individuals, far from being zealous advocates of education, are half-hearted learners who use the Sixth Form as a way of avoiding the encumbrances associated with a professional lifestyle. Perhaps if this was the weekend I wouldn't have been engulfed with a wave of appall, but, unfortunately, nature has a name for being an inconvenient phenomena and thus it's merely tough luck that the snowfall didn't take place on the weekend.
Paule (Guern in UK)
Engulfed with a wave of appall?
Now i know you are not in any way serious and nothing more than a little troll.
I agree he must a troll but if he is serious then i really think he needs to see someone.
I'am merely disgusted (appalled) at the fact that school pupils are using this as an opportunity to skive.
Contrary to your theory, I am a firm believer in the views that I put forward and write with an air of sincerity. If you are a fervent advocate of a cause, you have a penchant for writing with a verbose style as quirky words and literary expressions are a way of conveying strong sentiments.
I have no intention on 'seeing someone'- flowery expression is by no means an indicator of an unsound mind.I wonder whether you have heard of something called 'passion' or 'zeal' ?
passion and zeal? nope you got me there Ed but i did used to jump in the water lanes on my way to school on occasions just so i could get sent home. It worked a treat :)
I think I know where you are coming from with your very educated unrealist misunderstandable comments for me to understand.
Snow is white and the thicker it gets it causes problems for everybody in one way or another.
ED going to education and reading your comments then I assume you were the teachers pet in school for you found a way of getting into school to hold the fort for the days register of attendents during adverse snowy conditions.
I praise you for turning up wherever your day was taking you.Its a pity the laptop did not get snowbound.Each day brings new adventures.
I'm one of the girls in this article. For those who are complaining about us "skiving" i think you should recognise the definition of the word. My sister and i were at the park at 7.30 as we live about a minute walk away,"Unable to get to school but evidently able to get to Saumarez Park" - True. School is in town, the park is next to my house. Thank you for pointing that out. Our schools told us not to worry if we weren't there early/at all as they knew snow was likely to happen and transport could be difficult. So, we called our schools before school started and told them we would be in a bit late and they both told us that it wasn't a problem. All of us were in school by lunchtime. At my school, there were only 60/450 students absent for the whole day. Those of you talking about "children nowadays" are stereotyping and discussing the habbits of sixthformers- i'm a sixthformer and spend most of my day studying, rarely do i leave except for doctors, dentist etc. At the end of the day, we were at the park for just over half an hour because we live right next to it and were in school for the rest of the day. Snow is fun and exciting, yes, i'm not planning on being top of the world like those of you moaners seem to claim to be, i'm on track with my studies and so am allowed a little fun for half a day. "If you are a fervent advocate of a cause, you have a penchant for writing with a verbose style as quirky words and literary expressions are a way of conveying strong sentiments." -- And Ed, please put the thesaurus away.
What thesaurus ? I was using the vocabulary that I have acquired through education and through reading fiction and non-fiction books. If you wish for bigger words then I will use some more !
However, this calls for revision on how news events are portrayed. The article made it appear as if you spent the entire day playing in the snow, rather than just for half a day. Yes, damn us 'moaners' for our squareness, but we are not blameworthy of not knowing the full situation- we had no idea that you were to later go to the Sixth Form after a brief period of fun.
But did you feel like telling the school that you were going to spend time engaging in snow frolics ?
Terry Langlois
Alternatively Ed, maybe it calls for a revision by YOU of the way in which you interpret news reports and leap to pass sweeping judgemental condemnations of people whom you have never met based on the most meagre information.
There was nothing in the news report to suggest that they spent the whole day playing in the snow - and if you had a better grasp on reality you would have realised that by lunchtime the snow was too soggy for making snowmen (or women) anyway. The only references to time in the report are "in the early morning" and "it took us about 15 minutes". Evidently, your comprehension skills need some attention.
Perhaps you need to apply some of that wisdom that you are convinced that you are blessed with before leaping off the deep end with misguided posts.
Oh Dear
Oh Ed, what on earth is wrong with you?
When I was your age I would've been out in the snow. You really do need to lighten up and enjoy yourself. I know lots of people who enjoy learning but they still make time to have some fun. If you live your whole life locked in a room reading the thesaurus and various internet articles you'll end up a very lonely and depressed old man.
Cheer up, don't take everything people say on here so seriously and enjoy your life.
You may think your writing style makes you sound wise, I think pretentious is closer to the mark.
But I do enjoy my life- there's just different ways by which one can enjoy it.
Pepe Le Pew
Oh come on Mireille don't take it personally - there's no need to justify yourself with the "I work so hard I never leave the house" stuff.
Us grumpy old farts (or grumpy young fart in Ed's case) were just jealous we had to trudge into work whilst you and your mates were out having fun.
I was far from jealous !
Pepe Le Pew
Not even a teeny weeny bit Ed?
If i were you i wouldn`t take any notice of Ed. Hope you had fun and if it were me i`d have taken the whole day off:).
As if attempting to deter others from reading one's posts is particularly mature.
No Ed not "others" just Mireille didn`t you see i was only responding to her.
I told her to take no notice of you because all She did was have a little fun in the snow and you felt the need to post comments such as
"Do these young people have any form of wisdom?"
"The fact that many Sixth Formers decided to leave at lunchtime just goes to illustrate the degree of commitment and that these individuals, far from being zealous advocates of education, are half-hearted learners who use the Sixth Form as a way of avoiding the encumbrances associated with a professional lifestyle."
"I'am merely disgusted (appalled) at the fact that school pupils are using this as an opportunity to skive."
We let our kids off school for the morning while the snow was there..They haven't ever had a decent dollop to play in and loved making snowmen like yours..Like you we phoned the school and they said 'No Probs as some of the teachers had not bean able to fight the traffic..or had good cars they did not want wrecked by people like Ed who get to work at any cost!
Mireille - great comments! Good on you for standing up for your self and good luck with your studies! Glad you had fun :o)
I know these girls. They live very close to Saumerez park so it would have taken no more than five minutes to walk there. Only half of my year turned up on Friday, therefore most of the lessons were a "skive" anyway. The education department obviously felt it was quite a risky day for students, as they wouldn't let us outside because it was too "dangerous", we weren't even allowed to cross the courtyard to the cafeteria. As for Nicole, she made her way into school for the last couple of lessons. We might be in a critical period of our education, but funnily enough, we still get excited playing in the snow, lighten up.
Mr S. Nowman
Ed, you really need to get off here & find something else to do with your spare time. Maybe see a psychiatrist or someone that can help with your issues...
I had great fun at the park! It's just a shame I melted. I'll be back soon hopefully - before the Spring arrives.
I think you have issues. Why can't somebody express their ideas without ridicule. Town Dweller clams that most posters on here are educated, but, since you lack the ability to appreicate what I am saying and that there is such thing as quirkiness, I think that many of you are myopic.
I have absolutely no intention of leaving this site as I believe that, as this is a democracy, I have a right ( yes a right !) to voice my sentiments and express my worldview.
Terry Langlois
Ed, express your sentiments and world view by all means. Be verbose and slightly pompous in your choice of language if you must. It is your right.
But you also have a tendency to cast judgement on others based on insufficient information, and to suggest that you are better than others on this forum or the people about whom stories are written. On several occasions you have revealed your belief that you are educating your fellow posters. That is conceit of the highest order. If you do that, expect to be pulled up about it.
Show a little humility and open-mindedness and I am sure that you will attract less criticism and ridicule. Oh, and learn to spot a joke - take the Nazi graffiti thread for example.
Bon chance.
Fair comments there.
You astound me Ed. You can do concise!
Island Wide Voting
I was consumed by a wave of appall at your remark.Are you adverting to Ed's tendency to sometimes over-egg some of his more otiose posts?
Yes, IWV, I was indeed adverting to Ed's predilection, fundamentally from a syntactical perspective, to correlate his posts with a somewhat verbose, as well as otiose, writing style.
Keep it concise, is all I ask.

How Many SUVs Are on Your block?
We want you to go outside and count the number of SUVs on your block, as well as the number of regular cars. This is our experiment in "crowdsourcing," where we employ you, the listener, in an act of journalism. We're trying to find out just how much gas-guzzling SUV use there is throughout the New York area, with all the talk of environmental sustainability in the city. We're giving you until next Thursday to do the counting, but please, just count the cars once. Most trucks and minivans are not SUVs, so we're trusting your judgment. Also, please count the cars on both sides of the block (i.e. the section of your street between intersecting roads).
Post your results in the comment section below and we'll analyze the results Thursday, August 2. The count ends at 1 pm Wednesday, Aug 1st!
Wired Magazine writer Jeff Howe explains the idea on the air.
Please post 1) your neighborhood, 2) your block (street and cross street) 3) the number of SUVs parked 4) the total number of cars parked
NOTE: While we ordinarily encourage comments of any kind, we would like to keep this page limited to the findings about SUVs. We will take other comments when we discuss this next week. Thanks!

Re: Westerbeke 12B Two Coolant Flush/Replacement
Assuming you have the original Hurth transmission you should check the fluid level with the engine off. Don't screw the dipstick back in when checking your fluid level either... Unscrew it, wipe it clean, then reinsert until it stops at the threads but don't screw it down, then pull it back out and look at the level. I always checked mine when the transmission was cool. It is usually suggested to replace your fluid once a year or every 250 hours of use.
If you poke around on the Westerbeke website long enough you should be able to find the technical manual for this engine. It has lots of extra information including info on the transmission.
Incidentally, I ended up replacing the Hurth HBW-10 transmission that was originally on my Westerbeke with a Twin-Disc TMC-40P 2 seasons ago. So far it has worked very well with about 250 hours on it and no problems at all.
Westerbeke 12B Two Coolant Flush/Replacement
Hi PJ
I have same setup, thanks so much for the info here. Wondering if you Havedetails on gearbox fluid change. I have the manual, but it does not specify if fluid level should be checked with engine running or stopped. Any thoughts on this?
Re: Westerbeke 12B Two Coolant Flush/Replacement
I also have a Westerbeke 12B-Two and am about to do a flush for the first time... I would love to hear some pointers from anyone with experience with this engine.
W, Since it sounds like you may be a bit newer to this engine than me you might like to know that it is actually a "marinized" version of a Mitsubishi K2AS Diesel Tractor engine. If you look up the manual for the K2AS you will see that Westerbeke copied some of the pages right out of the original Mitsubishi manual. This is useful knowledge because it can help you find cross-referenced parts for the diesel tractor engine at a fraction of the cost that Westerbeke sells them.
Things like the raw-water heat exchanger, water cooled exhaust, and the extra pulleys to run the raw water pump are the marinized parts that Westerbeke added.
Here's my list of commonly replaced parts with cross-references to commonly available parts. If anyone else has anything to add to this list please share the knowledge!
Engine Oil: 10W30 Marine grade, Diesel Grade, 3.3 quarts
Oil FIlter: Napa Gold 1334 or FRAM - PH3593A or similar cross reference
Westerbeke Water Pump: 46120
Westerbeke Replacement Impeller: 46622 (OEM kit) , Globe 1112 (aftermarket run-dry impeller avail from Defender)
Also found a reference to a "volvo-penta-3586501-R13" fitting the 12B-Two raw water pump
Replacement Alternator: Advance Auto Parts Part No. 186-0486 which is an alternator for a 1983 "Mitsubishi Cordia" Cost $65 compared to $400+ from Westerbeke
Hope this helps!
Westerbeke 12B Two Coolant Flush/Replacement
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers for replacing the coolant in my Westerbeke 12B Two.
I currently have the old green coolant that is starting to look not so fresh. I don't have any history behind when it was last replaced. I'd like to go to a long life coolant but I don't know exactly how to go about that. The manual is lacking as to where the drain plugs are to eliminate the old coolant.
I should mention that I also have a water heater so the coolant does circulate through it.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Tacoma and King County Office of Civil Rights received additional funding for more comprehensive fair housing education and outreach efforts.
The almost $110,000 of additional funding was given to the City and County by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) Partnership Funds.
The monies will be used to conduct training sessions, produce new or translate current materials and promote fair housing through the expansion of the 28th Annual Fair Housing Conference hosted by the City.
The City and County submitted a joint proposal to the Region X HUD Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity in Seattle for the additional funding for 2014.
"We are fortunate to have been selected to receive these funds," said Tansy Hayward, director of Neighborhood and Community Services in the City of Tacoma. "This is additional funding to our annual contract for the investigation of fair housing discrimination complaints and the provision of education and outreach."
FHAP Funds are given to special projects that further fair housing. Additional funds are made available by the FHAP when monies are not used through the standard FHAP contract process during the previous year.


text: went to the game...refs killed it in the early 4th quarter by calling rip for 3 fouls on the SAME possession. wilcox and rip set up for 2 straight alley oops, and while sometimes he just stands around doing nothing, he can become a useful player for us if he can learn the game of basketball. all of our bigs need to learn to box out. one thing i like about charlie v is that he likes to put the ball on the floor and go to the hoop. he's got some nice post up moves. jerebko also made 2 very good offensive plays via a kareem-skyhook and a nice dribble-drive to the basket. rip is mostly deferring but his game is regular-season ready. bynum was a non-factor along with tay. would've liked to see daye get in there, but hopefully we'll see him tomorrow. gordon is clearly trying to fit in but when we go on those cold streaks i'd like to see him just try to take over the offense himself. stuckey had an excellent game. he controlled the tempo well and was aggressive when he needed to be. there was a definite difference when he was in the game and when he was not. several problems are going to hurt us this season and we're going to lose games because of it. first, we have a lot of penetrators and not a lot of distributors. either the guys have to penetrate and kick out for 3s, are they're going to have to start looking for other guys when they drive. second, we have a plethora of mediocre bigs, but no one who's going to consistently grab 8-12 rebounds per game or play solid defense. third, our defense is just weak. i do think the defense can be drastically improved with proper coaching though. tonight the pistons played pretty when guarding their own man, but where we gave up a ton of points was not rotating, not defending the pick-and-roll, and letting guys get down low because of improper switching. all of these things are correctable as long as the coaching stuff knows how to fix it and our players are willing and smart enough to understand and implement it. we'll see.

Mossberg 12ga, Rossi 20ga, NEF/H&R 410
only shotgun i have is a mossberg 500 for hunting and shooting trap/skeet and then i have the 18 inch barrel and the pistol grip for HD/SD
Winchester Model 101 XTR 20 gauge
Brownig A5 - bought new by my dad in 1968, he used it up until a couple years ago, gave it to me so it has been officially retired
Win SX3 - for skeet and duck hunting.
i thought about everyone had an ole' h&r............really am suprised that their numbers are so low....
Beretta, Remington, and mossberg1
Have a Mossberg 500 pistol grip and a stainless Marine Winchester
Off the top of my head a Mossberg bullpup, mossy. 885 ultra mag, Remington 870 combo slug and field barrel, Rem. 1100, Winchester Model 12& 1400, Stevens side by side & old parkerized police issue hump back, and a couple of italian made mid grade over and unders.
I have my Winchester Ranger from my youth, a Remington 870 and a CZ O/U that I use for shooting clays.
I have an H&R topper with a five round butt-cuff. Good-nuff. (Although, I have to admit I have been eyeing the Mossberg "Persuader" pretty hard....hmm....my birthday is in March...)
^^Installing a Mesa Tactical Stock Adapter - YouTube
^^mesa tactical instal with out the enidine system
Mesa Tactical recoil buffer - YouTube
enidine system being demonstrated.
from what I can see I personally don't like the system. the inch of recoil absorption that does take place seems too easy to actuate, ie not stiff enough, therefor you may as well shoot the shotgun an inch away from your shoulder and see how well that works out for you...
the knoxx looks legit. it's got two different forms of recoil absorption, both of which seem effective. I would go with that, IF I had a remington 870. Unfortunately with a mossberg the knoxx makes it different to manipulate the safety naturally, not to mention partially covers up the action lock.... not cool. my search continues...
I own
Rem 1100 12 gauge
Rem 1100 20 gauge
Rem 870 Express 12 gauge
Rem 870 Express 20 gauge
H&R 980 Ultra Slug 12 gauge(IMO best slug gun for whitetail)
Winchester 1897 12 gauge
Ithica model 37 featherweight 12 gauge
I used to hunt birds a lot. I have Browning, Remington, and Benelli. For any purpose, Benelli is the go-to gun now. Lighter, softer shooting, and more reliable.
Have had rem 870 for a long time,)00 buck for the home.
I just got into trap shooting last summer and bought a Mossberg O/U for that.
Mossberg 500, 28" barrel, modified choke. I've used that gun for everything from deer to dove. Still one of my favorite guns.
I have a HK Fabarm Tactical 12g shotgun ..
7+1.for home defense ..
Its not the best conceal & carry Gun ..
What can anyone tell me about the Savage Arms 12 ga, Tactical, 320 series. Its available at my local walmart.
got a mossberg 590, love it.

The pupils waiting in the playground of St Mary's Catholic primary could barely contain their excitement.
"Yeah! There she is!" they shouted as the Duchess of Cornwall swept into view, arriving for her visit to the school at the centre of the Evening Standard's Get London Reading campaign.
Camilla was greeted by a sea of smiling faces and some unusual questions: "Are you going to be the queen?" one six-year-old asked. "You never know," laughed Camilla. Executive headteacher Jared Brading looked on and said: "Can there ever have been a school that has attracted so much attention? Who will visit us next I wonder? The Pope?"
Fourteen months ago nobody had heard of this failing Battersea school, let alone visited, but in the past year it has hosted a remarkable array of guests, including the Prime Minister, schools minister, Ofsted chief inspector, poets and storytellers. Today it was the turn of royalty to hear how, with the help of 25 Evening Standard reading volunteers, St Mary's has achieved a transformation so extraordinary it is being talked of in the European Parliament this week as a model of good practice.
Not only did Ofsted rate it "good" for the first time, but in one year it went from 52 per cent to 100 per cent success in Sats English and Maths, putting it in the top 10 in London. Camilla is a champion of literacy, who kicked off our campaign in 2011 with a donation to fund 10 reading helpers trained by our campaign partner Beanstalk.
In the new library at St Mary's, refurbished by Selfridges and stocked with 1,000 books by publishers responding to our campaign, she read Jack And The Beanstalk to 15 rapt pupils sitting on beanbags. "Are you comfortable?" asked the Duchess. "Can any of you read this book? You can probably read it better than I do." Camilla met volunteers who come in for three hours a week, including Jill Pay, former serjeant at arms of the House of Commons, and Gabi Bartlam, a play therapist.
The Duchess was treated to a retelling by Year 2 of The Papaya Who Spoke. It was led by Laz Val, seven, who came from Spain last year hardly speaking a word of English.
"I give you 10 out of 10," she said to Omari Koroma, five, for his reading of Frog And The Bath, which he finished with a triumphant: "'No,' said Frog, 'I stink!'" prompting Camilla to add: "That's always a good ending".
Omari's reading helper, Isabel Patchett, 50, a mother of four who runs a consulting business, said: "I was inspired to join by the Standard's campaign. I can't imagine a life without books and was shocked by what I read about the state of illiteracy in London and wanted to help." Camilla said: "You volunteers are doing a brilliant job."
St Mary's is one of 300 schools our initiative is aiding, with £1 million raised to provide 450 volunteers to support 3,400 children over three years.
The Duchess was visiting on the day she agreed to become patron of Beanstalk. Sue Porto, chief executive of Beanstalk, said: "We are thrilled to welcome her."

Germany chops 2013 forecast on euro crisis
Two years after expanding at its fastest rate since reunification, Germany's economic growth is seen at just one per cent next year, finally hit by the eurozone crisis that has hammered most of its partners.
The Government chopped its 2013 growth forecast yesterday to one per cent, down from a 1.6 per cent forecast in April. For this year, the economy ministry expects growth of 0.8 per cent, up from 0.7 per cent in April.
Germany's economy powered through the first two years of the eurozone's sovereign debt crisis, posting 4.2 per cent growth in 2010 and three per cent last year at a time when some peers were seeking bailouts and others were grinding to a halt.
Its export strength saved the currency bloc from falling into recession up until the second half of this year.
But uncertainty about policymakers' ability to curtail the crisis has resulted in companies postponing investment, and turmoil in Germany's main trading partners could weigh on exports in the second half of the year, the ministry said.
"The good news is Germany is standing its ground despite all global economic turmoil and remains on track for growth," Economy Minister Philipp Roesler said.
"But Germany is navigating stormy waters because of the European sovereign debt crisis and an economic weakening in emerging nations in Asia and Latin America."
German companies are feeling the pinch. Deutsche Telekom may have to cut more jobs as a slide in revenues in Europe cuts into its profits and truckmaker Man Se expects third-quarter orders to fall below those in the second quarter.
Man, which also makes diesel engines and turbo machinery, also said it was bracing for a "tough" year in 2013.
However, after years of wage restraint and job-market reforms, Germany is benefiting from a healthy labour market and employees' wallets may not actually shrink.
Real wages should rise by 2.8 per cent this year and 2.6 per cent next year, outpacing inflation forecast at two and 1.9 per cent respectively and Roesler said private consumption, long subdued, would continue to be a main pillar of growth.
But the crisis looms large. Yesterday, Bertelsmann Foundation forecast a global economic crisis if Greece were to leave the euro.
Even though more Germans in a recent poll want Greece to remain in the eurozone than want it out, the willingness of German citizens to give twice bailed-out Greece more credit if it fails to deliver on saving targets is wearing thin.
Roesler, who is leader of the Free Democrats, junior partner in the centre-right coalition, said real incomes and consumption could rise even more strongly – by 0.2 percentage points each – if a surcharge on renewable energy were not raised next year.

Cibo Matto Returns With Hotel Valentine
Cibo Matto, the New York band with the Italian name founded by two Japanese ex-pats, made a lot of people dance and smile with their albums Viva! La Woman and Stereo*Type A back in the 1990s. Their songs were usually about food, and they sang them to a wild blend of catchy tunes, experimentalism, and Hip Hop. Now Yuka C. Honda and Miho Hatori have resumed making music as Cibo Matto, and their first album in 15 years, Hotel Valentine, is their best yet. Honda and Hatori, along with band mates Yuka Araki and Jared Samuel, join David Garland in the WNYC Studio to perform their new songs and tell some of the accompanying ghost stories.
Plus, Garland presents new recordings of previously unknown songs by the enigmatic 1950s songwriter Connie Converse, from the new album Connie's Piano Songs. This show first aired February 16, 2014.

Mockumentary Features Physics-Defying Amusement Park Rides [Video]
The award-winning 'The Centrifuge Brain Project' by Till Nowak uses amazing special effects to show off the impossible rides.
German filmmaker Till Nowak's short mockumentary about experiments with bizarre amusement rides features the fictitious Dr. Nick Laslowicz and his Institute for Centrifugal Research. 'The Centrifuge Brain Project' examines the institute's research into physics-defying rides that supposedly improve people's cognitive function.
The short film uses stunning special effects to show off the impossible amusement rides, which amaze in terms of creativity and design. These include the "Spherothon," which rotates to lift the seated people until they are floating upside down, and the "Wedding Cake", which features four spinning platforms set on top of each other.
There is also a 14-hour ride called "High Altitude Conveyance" and an interactive ride called "The Expander" that has cabins equipped with a button so people can control when they extend outwards.
The short film has won twenty five awards after travelling to film festivals around the world for over a year and has now been released online. You can check it out below:
