Groene at the Legislature: Holding NRDs responsible
Groene, colleagues short-sighted on NRD funds
More opinion
NFU urges smooth, transparent transition to Fair Trade framework
New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
This year I introduced Legislative Resolution 40 to ask the legislature to request that the U.S. Forest Service reconsider its original decision not to pay a proportionate share of the replacement costs of fences destroyed by wildfires between private and public lands in Dawes and Sioux Counties in Nebraska.
It advanced to the floor on a vote of 8-0.
The federal government stated it does not have funds to replace fences destroyed by wildfires between private and public lands in Dawes and Sioux counties in Nebraska. Last year, these fires in the northern Nebraska Panhandle areas burned over 202,000 acres.
Approximately 2,200 miles of fence lines, valued at about $1,220,000, were burned, resulting in emergency movement and/or sale of cattle.
The U.S. Forest Services stance is that the fence lines are owned by the landowners, since the US Forest Service is only required to have boundary markers. This contradicted earlier stances by the Forest Service that claimed co-ownership of the fences, allowing the service to require certain construction standards.
It is traditional for owners of adjacent lands to share replacement costs of common fences, but the affected private landowners have already been devastated by drought and forced to liquidate approximately 40 percent of their livestock.
Adjacent landowners, already devastated by drought and fire, will be hard pressed to secure funds for their half of replacement cost, and it will be a significant hardship for them to pay the entire cost.
On May 31, the legislature adopted LR 40 to demonstrate its support of efforts to maintain a partnership with the federal government on the issue of good stewardship of federal land in the state of Nebraska.
LB 517, by Holdrege Sen. Tom Carlson, was passed last month to create a task force to consider the long-term sustainability of state water resources.
The Water Funding Task Force consists of the members of the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission and 11 additional members to be appointed by the governor.
The Task Force also includes, as nonvoting, ex officio members, the director of the Department of Natural Resources or his or her designee, the chairperson of the Legislature's Natural Resources Committee or his or her designee, and five additional members of the legislature appointed by the Executive Board.
I was appointed to serve on the new task force. I believe my appointment is important because Legislative District 43 includes more than 20 percent of the state.
The district has land in six of the state's Natural Resources Districts, includes several rivers, and sits over the deepest portions of the High Plains Aquifer.
The district also has a significant stake in the long-term plan for Nebraska's water management.
LB 517 allocates $1 million for research, data collection and production of a final report, which the task force will submit to the legislature by Dec. 31. The report will identify water resources programs, and projects and activities in need of funding to meet the long-term statewide goals of water sustainability, efficiency and productivity.
Problem gambling
Passage of LB 6 will move our state's problem gambling services from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Revenue.
LB 6 will reinstate original legislative intent by empowering a new nine-member autonomous commission to oversee services for problem gamblers and their families. By July 1, the governor will appoint members with the following qualifications:
one with medical or mental health expertise,
one with banking or finance expertise,
one with legal expertise, one from education,
one with data analysis expertise,
two consumers of problem gambling services and
two members of the public at-large.
To apply, go to www.governor.nebraska.gov or you may call my office and talk to my Legislative Aide Sherrie Geier. Sherrie has worked with the issue of problem gambling for 13 years and, since last spring, has assisted the bill's introducer Sen. Bob Krist with this policy change.
As always, I value your input, and welcome phone calls, emails and personal visits from you.

Although the day's most significant race had a formful
conclusion, there were enough upsets to trigger a Pick 6 carryover of $62,888
when racing resumes Sunday. Post time is 12:30 p.m. The Pick 6 will begin in
the fourth race. Scheduled post time is 2:02 p.m.
Giving jockey Rajiv Maragh his first local stakes victory, Sanagas,
a 5-year-old German bred, continued a mini-roll of Grade I success on this
coast for Eastern-based trainer Graham Motion.
The conditioner of 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal
Kingdom, Motion has won three significant events in Southern California in a
span of 12 months.
Before Sanagas' win Saturday, Motion had taken the 2010
Matriarch last November at Hollywood Park with Gypsy's Warning and the 2011 Del
Mar Oaks in August with Summer Soiree.
The 8-5 favorite against six opponents in the 29th
Turf Cup, Sanagas tracked the slow pace set by Miss Match for most of the way,
took command with a quick burst with about a half mile to run and went on to
win by 3 ¼ lengths.
Owned by Andreas Jacobs, the Lomitas gelding out of the
Marju mare Scota covered the 1 ½ miles in 2:27.53. He's won seven of 10 and
earned $282,282.
The win was the second in a row and third in five United
States outings. His earlier wins in this country had come in the restricted
John's Call Aug. 5 at Saratoga
and the Grade III Sycamore Oct. 20 at Keeneland.
A regular in New York, Maragh,
26, had come close in the past to Grade I bliss at Hollywood Park.
Maragh collaborated with Forever Together to be second
behind the ill-fated Tuscan Evening in the 2010 Gamely, then was runner-up to
the aforementioned Gypsy's Warning in the Matriarch six months later when
aboard Wasted Tears.
A winner of four of five in his native country, Sanagas paid
$5.20, $3.20 and $2.60.
"It was pretty straightforward,'' said Maragh. "My horse got
into a nice flow right away and was just pulling me around the race track.
"I was always in a good position without having to ask him.
He made my job very easy. (Ashtar) moved on my outside and that kind of
triggered him to go. It was a little earlier than I wanted initially, but he
really wanted to go and I didn't want to dishearten him.
"He always runs big and we've always had high hopes for
Assistant trainer Alice Clapham indicated Sanagas will
return to Motion's Fair Hill Training Center Nov. 27. "He moved a little early
today, but Rajiv said he dragged him to the lead,'' said Clapham. "It worked
out great.''
Looking for his first win in his sixth start over the
Hollywood Park grass, Bourbon Bay, the 2-1 second choice, rallied to gain
second, one length in front of 16-1 shot Falcon Rock.
A multiple graded stakes winner, Bourbon Bay, who was ridden
for the first time in more than three years by Garrett Gomez, returned $3.20
and $2.80. The show price on Falcon Rock, who was handled by David Flores, was
"He traveled well and he ran well,'' said Gomez. "The winner
cut on the turn and I just couldn't keep pace. He kept trying and kept digging.
"I got shuffled a little on the backstretch, but I liked
where I was. I was straight in behind the horses I thought I had to beat. I
just couldn't quicken with the winner.''
Completing the order of finish were Ashtar, Norvsky, the 5-2
third choice, Miss Match, the lone female in the field, and Goldwaki.

ADOPTIVE parents in Worcestershire are being invited to find out about the support on offer to them at an informal event next month.
The event at Worcester's County Hall organised by the county council's Post Order Support Team will run from 10am until 1pm on Saturday, July 5.
While parents can learn more about the specialist services on offer, children can have a go at a range of fun activities including circus skills.
Representatives from a range of agencies will be on hand including consultant clinical psychologist and author Dr Kim Golding, who was influential in setting up the Integrated Service for Looked After and Adopted Children (ISL), a multi-agency service offering support for parents, schools and professionals.
The council's cabinet member with responsibility for children and families Cllr Liz Eyre said: "Some adopters may be reluctant to come forward for help or advice until there is a crisis.
"But we are eager to help at an early point when it can make a real difference."
Manager of the Post Order Support Team Jonathan Dudley said: "This informal event is a way of us reaching out to parents to offer them the support and guidance they may need now or in the future.
"We want adopters to feel that we are here to help them, whatever their needs."
To book a place call 0800 917 9655 or email email@example.com.

Actor Akkineni Nagarjuna says his father Akkineni Nageswara Rao's will to live has helped him recover faster after his surgery to cure intestinal cancer. The 90-year-old legendary actor was diagnosed with cancer in October last year. He had shared the news with fans and requested them not to show sympathy.
Talking to IANS Nagarjuna said, "We are thrilled with the vibrancy and positivity he is showing now. On Jan 1, the entire family had a fun-filled day with him. He is eager to reach the goal he spoke about when he met the media last." The actor added, "He is full of positive spirit. He has been doing things that make him stay vibrant. He is watching his favourite comedy shows on television and also listens to old and new songs. He has also been catching up with Telugu movies - from the oldest to the most latest Uyyala Jampala."
Nagarjuna said his father needs the best wishes of his fans. "Support from his fans, well-wishers and the media play a strong part in his path to recovery and I hope that it will continue," said Nagarjuna.
With over a 70-year-old career comprising a filmography of over 250 films, Akkineni Nageswara Rao made his cinematic debut with Telugu film Sitarama Jananam in 1944. Some of his best films include Batasari, Devadasu and Prem Nagar. His next will be Telugu family drama Manam with son Nagarjuna and grandson Naga Chaitanya.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/12/2013 (1340 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Expect flight delays heading east out of Winnipeg today.
Thanks to the severe ice storm that hit Eastern Canada Saturday, flights heading into and coming from markets such as Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are experiencing delays.
Officials confirm the storm is causing a slight headache and inconvenience for travellers trying to get home for the holidays, so patience and planning is advised.
"What we would advise for people travelling today is to check our website (waa.ca) before you head out," said Felica Wiltshire, spokeswoman at the Richardson International Airport.
"Check the arrivals and departures. If you're planning to pick up family at the airport, just double-check to make sure their flight isn't delayed."
Some flights out of Eastern Canada have been cancelled, while others are seeing delays in the one- to three-hour range.
Most carriers are handling the situation quite well, Wiltshire added.
"We're noticing that (the ice storm) is affecting flights across the board," she said. "But it's not too bad. Sometimes, when a major hub like Toronto is experiencing issues, it has a trickle-down effect across the country.
"Our advice is just check our site or the specific airline before you come down. That information is being updated all the time."

56 Express — By Capt. Chris Kelly
— June 2000
Grand Entry
|Neptunus reworks a proven model to create a bigger, more luxurious "entry-level" yacht.
For most production boatbuilders, a yacht the size of the new Neptunus 56 Express would easily be the Queen of the Fleet. But for this semicustom builder, it's actually an entry-level model in a line that stretches to 70 feet. It also serves notice that the Dutch yard will continue to challenge UK and Italian competitors as well as domestic brands with innovative designs, quality materials, and fine craftsmanship. And styling. With a deeply raked, stainless steel-framed windshield, racy forward-angled electronics arch, oval port lights, and even oval engine-room intake vents, the 56 Express simply looks fast.
Actually, the 56 is not entirely new. According to Neptunus' southeast sales manager Greg Cohen, it's an adaptation of the 54 hardtop the company used to build, of which he recalls, "The helm and cockpit areas were fully enclosed…it was like driving a yacht from your living room." Even though the 54 hardtop was popular, Neptunus designers wanted an open version that would take advantage of better weather in the southern climes. "We build this boat for people who don't want or need the hardtop, and the open design brings the price down by $70,000 or $80,000," says Cohen. In the design process the yard also added two feet to the hull, which provides the extra buoyancy necessary to carry the weight of a jetboat on the electro-hydraulic platform. The absence of a hardtop also leaves the 56's spacious teak-decked cockpit fully exposed for maximum sunning and outdoor entertaining.
That cockpit has two lounge areas. Aft, there's a curved lounge with great backrests; it can seat six easily around a removable dining table. (More on the second lounge area in a moment.) A leaf in the center of the table opens for easy walkthrough access to the engine-room hatch, which is beneath one of the lounge seats. A five-step ladder leads down to a full-beam lazarrette that is easily big enough to house a watermaker or even a dive compressor. A door in the forward bulkhead leads directly to the engine room and the 660-hp Caterpillar 3196s.
Because Neptunus coupled Twin Disc V-drives to the Caterpillars, the engines sit well aft, a configuration that frees up a lot of space in the saloon while concentrating weight aft for good on-plane performance. The diesels are supported by rugged engine mounts (with twin vibration-absorbing pads on each mount), which are bolted through the FRP-encapsulated stringers. There is room to walk between the engines, and the sea strainers, dipsticks, and even freshwater coolant caps are all within easy reach. Strong dripless shaft seals should keep the area dry.

STUDENTS will be celebrating clocking up more than 15,000 hours of volunteering so far this academic year.
Worcester Students' Union will be holding its third annual Volunteering and Society Awards event at the New Road home of Worcestershire County Cricket Club on Tuesday, May 6
The union had set a target to double the amount of hours students volunteer in the local community and at the union itself, with the intention of going from 6,000 hours in 2013 to 12,000 hours this year.
They smashed the target and the ceremony begins at 7.30pm and will recognise the achievements of students who have undertaken a whole range of volunteering activities
It will culminate in the award for Community Volunteer of the Year, supported by Worcestershire Ambassadors.
Students who have been active members of societies devoted to the performing arts, running activities for local children and providing first aid will also be among those recognised for their hard work and commitment.
The celebration of student volunteering and involvement in student societies is sponsored by the University of Worcester.

Portland Velo Tuesday & Thursday Ride (Portland; every Tuesday & Thursday)
November 15, 2016 at 9:30 am
Stay Safe
In Oregon, a bicycle is legally considered a vehicle, and the same Oregon road laws apply. Please "be seen" and practice safe riding. Vehicle traffic, farm equipment and narrow shoulders exist on many Oregon roads, and you may find that construction projects, traffic or other events may cause road conditions or signage to differ from the map results, ride descriptions and directions. For travel options plus weather and road conditions, visit tripcheck.com, call 511 (in Oregon only), 800.977.6368 or 503.588.2941. Routes listed on this website are for informational purposes and intended as a reference guide only.

Contact Info
Our Tuesday and Thursday rides are a great way to get a ride in with a smaller group. All rides start at 9:30 a.m. on the north side of Wilshire Park at the intersection of NE Skidmore and NE 35th in Northeast Portland.
The usual leader is Terry Lawson, with others leading when he is unable to. Terry maintains a mailing list to distribute route information and cancellation status. Rides may be cancelled in inclement weather if there are fewer than three riders indicating they want to ride that day. To get on the list or for ride questions send an email to Terry (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The rides are varied, crossing the Columbia into Washington or heading out Marine Drive to the Gorge. They are 30-45 miles in length with shorter sub-group options. Tuesday routes tend to be flatter. Riders should be fit and able to ride 18-23 mph. The group may split on some stretches – but will re-group as necessary.

Last flight of Don Andrus
25 Dec 1944 — Champlon, Belgium
Statement MACR, 2nd Lt Liebert W. Boyer jr, 485th Fighter Squadron
I was flying #2 position in Zenith White flight on LT Andrus wing. In order to indentify traffic an a road at P3970 (about 36 miles south of Liege), LT Andrus and I went down to investigate. We received heavy and accurate light flak fire from the wooded area surrounding the road, and LT Andrus did not pull out of his dive. I observed his airplane hit the ground and explode. We were flying at 100 ft. I think LT Andrus did not get out of his plane.
Thanks to Jay Jones, author of The 370th Fighter Group in World War II in Action over Europe .
Since 2009 i have adopted the gravesite of Don Andrus during an adoption program on the American Cemetary Henri Chapelle.

Brooke Hogan in a bikini
Here's Brooke Hogan and her boyfriend Stack$ on the set of her new music video yesterday, and obviously, Brooke's people have realized the only way to get any exposure is to make her roll around in a bikini and/or show as much breast as humanly possible. Normally, I'd applaud this thought process except I'm kind of wishing they went for something a little more subtle. Like a bear costume.
EDIT: Added two more rows of pics. No need to thank me.

Hi to all. Does anyone have any experience with debilitating dizziness? My sister is not on any pain meds, just antibiotics and some bile thinning medication. From time to time (getting more acute and frequent as she is deteriorating) she is so dizzy that she cannot lift her head up. Any advice????

Waterwise landscaping helps save water resources
Florida is known for its beautiful greenery, abundant sunshine and the many lakes, rivers and streams that dot the peninsula's interior.
When Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon first sailed along Florida's east coast in 1513, he named this area of the New World for its abundance of flowers and greenery, calling the area La Florida in honor of Pascua Florida (the feast of the flowers).
Centuries later, Florida still attracts new residents and visitors — at least in part — because of its floral beauty. Florida's weather also attracts many, but the natural cycle of weather that brings rain to replenish our water sources is constantly changing. The long periods of wet weather followed by long periods of dry weather means that the water to sustain the state's plants and animals — and us — is limited.
Often, the biggest use of water by people is outdoors for lawn and landscape irrigation. To find a balance in our uses of water and the needs of nature, water conservation must be a part of people's everyday practices. Using water wisely in our landscapes is one way to find that balance.
Waterwise is a common sense way to landscape that conserves water and protects the environment. The main objective is to establish and maintain a healthy landscape by matching the right plants with existing site conditions so that the use of additional resources — such as water, fertilizer, pesticides and labor — is minimized.
In addition, waterwise landscaping practices reduce the amount of pollutants reaching water bodies because fewer yard chemicals are used. Fertilizers and pesticides can contaminate waterways when they are washed out of the yard with the rain in stormwater runoff.
Florida's water management districts were established to make sure that people and nature have the water they need. We invite you to explore the information here and on the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ website to learn how you can work with nature in the state's unique environment to establish a landscape that is appealing while also conserving water resources and protecting water quality.

An affectionate spoof of the Universal Frankenstein series of horror films from the 1930s and early 40s, appropriately shot in period-style black and white, Young Frankenstein (1974) is writer/director Mel Brooks' tribute to the undying legend of the Frankenstein monster, played for laughs with a superb cast that wrings every ounce of parody out of the source material. The film almost immediately became a cult hit, and is frequently revived today; what makes the film so effective is its combination of visual stylization, coupled with Brooks' irresistible Borscht belt humor. This, in short, is slapstick comedy at its finest, and one of the funniest films produced in American during the 1970s.
Actor Gene Wilder, who collaborated on the screenplay of Young Frankenstein with Brooks, plays Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, who continually insists that his name is properly pronounced "Frahnkenstein," and avoids any mention of his infamous ancestor. As Young Frankenstein opens, Frederick Frankenstein is working as a lecturer at an American medical school, but soon news arrives that he has inherited his grandfather's ornate castle in Transylvania. Arriving to claim his birthright, he meets Inga (Teri Garr), who will become his assistant; Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman), a stern taskmaster who urges him to follow in his grandfather's footsteps; and Igor (Marty Feldman), a hunchback whom Frankenstein soon presses into service in his experiments.
In short order, Frankenstein and his motley crew of associates have whipped up a new monster (Peter Boyle), assembled from the body of a recently executed criminal, but handicapped by an "abnormal brain" that makes him unpredictably violent. Inspector Kemp (Kenneth Mars, in a parody of a role made famous by actor Lionel Atwill in the original films) is suspicious of the activities in Frankenstein's laboratory (which used the original "mad lab" equipment designed by Kenneth Strickfaden for the original 1931 film, and its subsequent sequels). When the monster escapes, he is briefly befriended by a blind hermit (Gene Hackman), but is soon recaptured by Frankenstein, who dresses him in white tie and tails and teaches him to sing "Puttin' on the Ritz" for a group of amazed fellow scientists.
More plot complications lead up to an obligatory happy ending, but the film's real strength lies in its deep respect for the original Frankenstein films, starting with director James Whale's Frankenstein (1931), and continuing on though Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and director Rowland V. Lee's Son of Frankenstein (1939). Brooks' film borrows plot elements, characters, and situations from all of these films, and yet manages to remain both fresh and funny entirely on its own terms.
Much later, Brooks would transform Young Frankenstein into a successful Broadway musical, but the 1974 film version is easily the better production, and is often screened at "midnight matinees" in film theaters around the world. Brooks parodies the Frankenstein legend, but at the same time, he is faithful to it, resulting in a film that even purists can enjoy, and one of the most successful comedy films of all time.

DETROIT - Vice President Joe Biden headlined a fundraiser Saturday evening for Michigan Democrats, but long-time party member Debbie Dingell also made big news.
Before the annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner at Detroit's Cobo Center, Dingell said she would not run for U.S. Senator Carl Levin's seat. "I'm not saying that I'm ruling out elective office in the future. The polls showed I had a good chance of winning, but it (running) would tear the party apart. I want to help pull us together."
Biden spoke on several different topics, from the terror attack in Boston to the importance of the auto industry. Biden called Detroit the "engine of the middle class in America."
He also addressed concerns about everyone having the ability to vote. "We will fight tooth and nail the continued attempts to surpress the minority vote in this country."
Michigan could play a big role in the 2016 presidential election, and Biden has not ruled out a run.
He is traveling to South Carolina in May for another Jefferson-Jackson dinner. The galas are frequent stops for candidates.
Others who addressed the crowd was U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, along with state lawmakers.
--Debbie Stabenow
Past speakers at the Michigan dinner include former presidential contenders John Edwards and John Kerry.

Emma Watson Circling Cinderella
She may go to the ball
Last we heard, newly-minted blockbuster director Kenneth Branagh (Thor, Jack Ryan) was only in early talks to direct Disney's new Cinderella. Variety now report that he's firmly ensconced behind the camera, and he may just have found the actress to fill the glass slipper: Emma Watson is being courted by the studio to play Cinders.
This Cinderella is the version once under the aegis of Mark Romanek, until creative differences with Disney saw him take a pumpkin carriage outta there. It's been in development for a couple of years, with screenplay drafts completed by Aline Brosh McKenna and Twilight: New Moon's Chris Weitz. The film is part of a cycle of new Disney live-action fairytales and traditional stories, alongside Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great And Powerful, and Robert Stromberg's upcoming Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie as Sleeping Beauty's wannabe nemesis.
Since Hermione Granger, Watson has been steering clear of the kids' fantasies, stretching her acting chops with the likes of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. But if Cinderella seems like a step back for the promising actress in terms of genre, it absolutely fits her clear strategy of choosing to work with strong directors: she's recently turned out for Sofia Coppola (The Bling Ring) and Darren Aronofsky (Noah). Cinderella is also a crack at a solo starring role for Watson, who has so far stuck to ensembles.
The film is currently in pre-production, with an eye on a 2014 release.

Support Female Literacy with L'Occitane's Fundraising Soap
Sweet-smelling soap that gives back to the women of Burkina Faso? Yes, please!
-Diana Denza
In the small West African country of Burkina Faso, only 8.1 percent of women 15 and older are considered literate. Poverty and illiteracy plague the nation; currently, millions of teens and adults are unable to read and write basic sentences.
Read Give a Sheet: Crane & Canopy's One-For-One Campaign Aids Abuse Survivors
This crisis spurred L'Occitane into action, and the brand's foundation has been working to promote female literacy and economic autonomy in the country for decades.
This year, the brand continues its mission with a special edition Women's Day soap bar designed by a Burkinabe artist and produced by Burkinabe factory women. All profits from the bars will go toward the purchase of bricks to build female literacy centers in Burkina Faso. And the Ecocert Fair Trade shea butter will leave your hands silky-smooth!
Buying just one $8 bar on usa.loccitane.com or in L'Occitane stores will pay for three bricks, so every purchase counts. Joining the fight for female literacy has never been so easy!

Im totally new to this and everything which involves programming. You can call me a noob, weirdo or tell me that i should've never even started with programming from the first sight, if i don't know how to do this. But i really want to learn how to program, OK, here we go
Whenever i try to execute some sort of code using Command Line i get like perhaps... 90 % of the cases some sort of an error-message. I get really frustrated about this and i can't figure it out, how to solve my problem. I'm really doing what i was told to do through my programming-course website. Yes, i'm reading a course, though it's a distance course so i can't really talk with my teachers more than chatting with them through a forum. I don't think they are very helpful anyway.
Here are some codes i've been having problems with:
- Code: Select all
print("Charles is", end=" ")
Charles is >>> age = 2006-1987
print(age, "years old")
This was my first (i never got any error-message when i executed this though) issue in the programming course. According to my teachers, when i execute this, "Charlie is 19 years old" should be on the same line. But when i execute it, it looks like this
- Code: Select all
print("Charles is", end=" ")
Charles is >>> age = 2006-1987
print(age, "years old")
Charles is
19 years old
My teachers wants me to use a program called IDLE, but i have tried it and it doesn't work for me. I saved the file as "zzz.py" and tried to press F5 to execute the file (I have also tried to find any menu or something which says "run" or "execute"). But with no luck. I have also read that IDLE isn't any good program for some reason. Anyway the command Line isn't maybe the right program to start with as a newbie as me? Do you know any better program or am I using the command Line wrong, perhaps? When I use Command Line the only thing i do is entering the program and start "coding".
Also just to show you 1 more example, i will show you this:
- Code: Select all
temperature = int(input("Give temperature: "))
if temperature < 5:
print("Burr, It's cold today!")
But unfortunately an error-message occurred.
- Code: Select all
>>> temperature = int(input("Give temperature: "))
Give temperature: 4
>>> if temperature < 5:
... print("Burr, it's cold today!")
File "<stdin>", line 2
print("Burr, it's cold today!")
IndentationError: expected an intented block
The meaning with this code is to input a number and let the program (computer) decide if 5 is more or less than the number i was inputting. If it's true that 5 is higher then 4 then my program should also execute "Burr, it's cold today!", but it won't do it!
This is 2 examples from my course. I can even finish this course without even touching python but i'm not doing this just to get a grade in this course. I'm doing this summer-course because i want to learn programming. So if any kind people could help me out, I would be more than happy. Cheers!
regards Joel

Sheffield scratched from NHSI consolation game
The reason: watching right-hander Jordan Sheffield from Tullahoma face Eustis catcher Chris Okey, both in MLB.com's Top 50 Draft prospects rankings. It's that kind of matchup that has quickly made the NHSI a must-stop for the scouting industry.
On this crisp, cool morning, however, the scouts were disappointed, as Sheffield was scratched from his start because of forearm tightness.
Sheffield hasn't pitched since March 12, a game he came out of after 73 pitches because of that right forearm. He's been resting and rehabbing, acting as the team's DH in the interim. He hadn't even returned to shortstop until Wednesday's NHSI opener against Mater Dei High School (Calif.), and it seemed like things were heading in the right direction. He told coach Brad White that his arm felt great Wednesday night before the team's curfew."The last thing I told him this morning was, 'If it doesn't feel like you can go, you have to be honest with me, '" White said. "I went to the 'pen with him, looked at his face as he was throwing. Some pitches, he was hurting on the top of the forearm out at the extension point. So we made the decision to shut him down.
"The kid wanted to throw, but he was smart enough today to give me the feedback I needed as a head coach not to put him in jeopardy."
Sheffield was only going to throw 40 pitches on Thursday, but instead, Tullahoma turned to Dalton Davis and Tyler Burns to outlast Eustis, 4-3, in 11 innings. Sheffield played first base, and he will continue to play there or DH for the remainder of the tournament. When the team gets back to Tennessee, he'll go to see a doctor to make sure it's nothing more serious.
Forearm tightness is often a precursor to elbow trouble. It's not uncommon for a pitcher to have forearm issues, and it eventually turns out he has an ulnar collateral ligament tear and needs Tommy John surgery. It was clear on Thursday that the thought had crossed White's mind, but he was still hoping it wasn't that serious.
"Watching the trainer do the test for the UCL, I honestly don't feel that way," White said. "If we felt that way at all, we'd have gone to see a doctor. I really think it's something in the forearm right there, but it's in a bad spot.
"You've got a kid with a mid-upper 90s arm. There's a lot of stuff that can go wrong in there. It's in the back of our mind -- we're scared, but we're still very cautiously optimistic."

DanNeely - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkI don't think sticking it on the power brick is a good idea. You're far more likely to lose that than the laptop at which point unless you're a packrat and wrote it down somewhere else (99% of users won't) if you need to reinstall windows you're SoL.
For that matter, I thought MS licensing reqs required sticking it to the computers primary chassis; which the power brick is not. Reply
icrf - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkOn the HP laptops I've dealt with at work, it's under the battery, which seems a perfectly secure and reasonable place. Reply
cheinonen - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkWould probably be hard on these with no removable batteries, though. PSU is about the only place to put it and not ruin the look they're after. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkYeah, it is a little questionable, but considering OEM machines ship with restore partitions/DVDs that put an activated copy of windows on the hard drive, the COA is only there to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Even if you want to install a clean version of Windows 7, it's just as easy to use ABR to backup and restore the key on the machine. Reply
BaRReLL - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkASUS notebook does not need Windows Product key for installations. The licence number is embedded in hardware itself and the product key is never typed during OS recovery.
Losing the COA does not stop your from reinstalling OS at all. Reply

tipoo - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkI can't find the picture right now, but they talked about the heatsink in this and showed a comparison of the thermals in the "Fruit Brand" ultra-portable, had a good giggle at that. Reply
arnavvdesai - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkI wish they would include the 2.5" drives instead of these tiny things. I understand they want to make it as slim as possible but couldnt they have built this with a proper drive? Reply
r3loaded - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkIn a word: no. A 2.5 inch drive is about as thick as the whole laptop. The format they're using is mSATA - it's also used in the MacBook Air and a couple of other laptops. Reply
donline - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkI was really hoping to snag my 256SSD out of my HP Envy and drop it in this to UX21E to replace the 128GB. I have a core i7 in a nice small package but no flippin' hdd space. UGH
Anyone know where I can get a 256GB SSD in the correct form factor? I can't seem to find those Sandisk U100 anywhere Reply
donline - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - linkBrand new the thing only has 82GB free. I can't do jack with that. Reply
r3loaded - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkIt looks like a regular mSATA drive, so that's the format you need to be searching for (I personally can find a few, but none of them are SATA 6Gbps drives). Reply
donline - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkThanks r3loaded. Can you tell me where I can find a 256GB mSata? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Reply

jcornel7 - Sunday, October 23, 2011 - linkI own the UX31E. I see in the BIOS and in the driver stack there is support for a TPM chip. When you opened this up did you see a spot for a TPM chip. I will buy one and sodder it on myself if its reachable. Reply
PeterAhlstrom - Monday, December 05, 2011 - linkThis is the only Zenbook teardown I could find online, and since it said a torx T2 was used, I spent all day Friday trying to get one locally. The smallest size Home Depot and other hardware stores had was T4. I finally found someone who had a T3 and borrowed it from him. The T3 was too small; it just spun around in the screwhead and did nothing.
His next size up in the kit was a T5 and it worked fine on the Zenbook's screws. Due to the small amount of play with the T5, I'm guessing a T6 will work fine (but I don't have one to test with). T6 is the same size Macbook Pros used to use.
I'm glad I didn't just order a T2 online and wait for it to arrive, because it wouldn't have worked at all. Reply

The William H. Riker Prize
The William H. Riker Prize for Political Science is awarded to a social scientist in recognition of a body of research that exemplifies and advances the scientific study of politics in the spirit of William Riker. It was created by the students, friends, and colleagues of Riker, and it is financed by an endowment built from their individual contributions and administered by the University of Rochester.
The Riker Prize recognizes a sustained research program or coherent collection of published research that has, in the view of the Riker Prize Committee, advanced the scientific study of politics through excellent, theoretically informed study of real-world politics, creative and influential theoretical study of political phenomena, and the productive combination of theory and empirical study. It is intended neither as an award for a single work nor as a lifetime achievement award. It may be awarded for work outside the specific areas in which Riker conducted his research and, in keeping with the high value Riker placed on interdisciplinary social science, may be awarded for research conducted outside the discipline of political science that has strongly influenced the discipline.
The Riker Prize winner receives a monetary award, currently set at $3,000, and is invited to the University of Rochester to present the Riker Lecture and to celebrate the award at a Riker Prize banquet.
In addition to honoring the memory of William Riker, the Riker Prize is intended to continue two projects to which Riker devoted so much of his career--promoting the scientific study of politics and, through bestowing the award and hosting award winners, building the Department of Political Science at the University of Rochester.
Riker's Contribution to Political Science
William H. Riker believed that the scientific study of politics depended on combining, within the discipline, excellent and creative empirical study with incisive and well-developed deductive theory. His own work was an exemplar of both aspects of political science and of their fruitful combination. Just as important, he built a political science department at the University of Rochester and fostered major changes in the discipline as a whole that advanced this approach to the field.
In Riker's view, all aspects of academic political science were part of the same unified enterprise. Through undergraduate teaching, graduate advising, university administration, research, publication, and the administration and organization of major professional organizations, he discovered new knowledge, disseminated that knowledge, and influenced the activities of other social scientists along productive avenues of discovery.
Administration of the Riker Prize
Frequency of award. The prize may be offered as often as annually, but will be offered less often if no suitable honorees can be identified or if the endowment does not permit. Currently, endowment funds are sufficient to finance the award every second year into the indefinite future.
Eligibility. Current and recent faculty members and recent PhD graduates of the University of Rochester's Department of Political Science are ineligible for the prize. Previous winners are eligible to be recognized again for a separate body of work.
The Riker Prize Committee. The Riker Prize Committee consists of at least three persons serving rotating three-year terms. At least one is a faculty member at the University of Rochester; at least one other is an alumnus or alumna of the Rochester Political Science program. Additional members may be contributors to the Riker fund or previous winners of the Riker Prize. The chair of the Rochester Political Science Department appoints the required faculty member of the committee; other members are nominated by the committee and must be approved by the chair of the Rochester Political Science Department. The members of the 2000 Riker Prize Committee were Randall Calvert (chair), Richard F. Fenno, Jr., David Rohde, and Kenneth A. Shepsle. The members of the 2002 Riker Prize Committee were James Johnson (chair), David Rohde, and Kenneth A. Shepsle. The members of the 2004, 2006, and 2008 Riker Prize Committee were James Johnson (chair), Robert Bates, and John Huber. The members of the 2010 Riker Prize Committee were James Johnson (chair), Gary Cox, and Wendy Schiller. The members of the 2012 Riker Prize Committee are James Johnson (chair), Barry Weingast, and Georg Vanberg.
Approval of the award. Because the award is administered by the University, the decisions of the Riker Prize Committee must be approved by the chair of the University of Rochester Political Science Department. It is the intent of the founders and contributors of the Riker Fund that the composition of the committee and the nature of the awards will continue to reflect, as appropriately as possible, the scientific values of William Riker.
Announcement of the award. The committee will arrange to announce each award of the Riker Prize through prominent outlets in the profession, such as the newsletters and program booklets of the larger professional associations. They will also, as much as possible, continue to inform contributors about the awarding of the prize.
Contributors. The administrators of the
Riker Prize welcome contributions of any size. Please send contributions
to the attention of the Riker Prize Committee, c/o Professor Gretchen Helmke,
Chair, Department of Political Science, University of Rochester, Harkness
Hall 333, Rochester, New York 14627-0146.

HOUSTON - A man plead guilty to lighting a bar on fire after he and another man were kicked out of the establishment, officials say.
Jaime Mata, 31, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he pled guilty to felony arson.
Mata is one of two defendants charged in the fire at La Estrella Bar, at 8011 Harrisburgon, on April 19, 2012.
Mata and co-defendant Gabino Silva were kicked out of the bar for fighting that night, investigators said.
According to authorities, surveillance cameras caught the two barricading the front door to the business in an effort to keep other patrons from leaving.
Investigators said Mata and Silva were then seen pouring gasoline and igniting the back door of the bar.
Officials said the fire was quickly discovered and the patrons in the bar were able to escape through a third exit on the side of the building.
Silva is currently awaiting trial that is scheduled to start later this month.

DEVIZES has plenty of coffee shops but entrepreneurs Alan and Ramona Richards are planning to open a tea room selling speciality teas.
The couple, of Trowbridge Road, Seend, have applied for planning permission to open a tea room in the former Gary Hatto barber shop in The Ginnel.
They believe that there is a niche in the market for their idea and that it will benefit traders in The Ginnel, off the Market Place.
Mr Richards and his wife have been running Home Sweep Home, a domestic and commercial cleaning business, for the past five years.
Mr Richards is also a qualified food technologist and worked in the food industry for 15 years.
He said: "It's always been a desire to start a business that's food orientated. We have both got an interest in tea and, to a certain extent, coffee. We like exotic, unusual teas and health aspects that come along with tea as well. We want to introduce people to a wider variety of teas from around the world."
They plan to open a tea room on the ground floor, and the first floor would include retailing tea products for consumption at home.
Mr Richards said: " There will be a wide selection of teas and coffees as well. The aim is to make it a destination for locals and tourists."
Their agent, Keith Bennett, says in the planning application: "The proposed use, due to its unique speciality attraction, will enhance the local area and bring a lot more people into The Ginnel, helping to sustain the vitality and viability of neighbouring shops in The Ginnel and the town in general."
The Ginnel is one of the areas that tourists arriving by coach in New Park Street will walk through following the award of Coach Friendly status to the town recently.
The town council's planning committee have raised no objections to the plan.
The former barber shop has been empty for about a year since Gary Hatto relocated to The Brittox.
Ginnel trader Sarah Clarke, owner of Upper Cut Clothing, welcomed the tea room plan.
She said: "We have a lot of coffee houses in town and it will be lovely to have an independent tea house."

No. 1 Florida shows no letup in blowout of LSU
Published: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 5:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 12:10 a.m.
Florida did not cut down the nets shortly after its 79-61 rout of LSU.
Photo Galleries
With the Southeastern Conference regular-season title already secure, the No. 1 Gators (27-2, 16-0 SEC) insist bigger goals are out there. Though Florida coach Billy Donovan isn't big on discussing seeding, a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament remains a priority. So does becoming the first SEC team to go through a conference season perfect in 18 league games.
"The season is still going on," Florida senior forward Casey Prather. "We've got another game against Kentucky on Saturday. So that's our last home game, so we feel like we win there, we cut them down there."
Prather said it was a team decision, but Donovan said he wouldn't have let the Gators cut down the nets because he didn't want his team to face any more distractions.
Florida wrapped up its third conference title in the past four years after Arkansas beat Kentucky in overtime on Thursday night. But Donovan recalled the 2006-07 season, when the Gators celebrated the SEC regular-season title with three games to go by cutting down the nets after a win over South Carolina. Florida went on to lose its next two games at LSU and at Tennessee before winning 10 in a row to clinch the second of back-to-back national titles.
"We did it, and looking back, I regret it," Donovan said.
On Saturday, Florida didn't play like a team content to rest on its accomplishments. The Gators made a season-high 13 3-pointers, including 9 of 14 in the first half to jump to a 41-25 halftime lead. From there, Florida extended its lead to as many as 29 points in the second half before emptying its bench in the closing minutes
"There were so many 3s available," Donovan said, referring to LSU's collapsing defense. "I was just happy our guys shot the ball with confidence. It was good to see the ball go into the basket for our guys."
Sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith led four scorers in double figures with 16 points. Prather and sophomore guard Michael Frazier II added 14 points apiece, while senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin had 11 points and four assists.
"We shot great today," Wilbekin said. "It's not going to be like that every night so we still have to keep our focus defense. If we do both, shoot and play great defense, it's going to be a great game for us."
Florida pressed on and off throughout the half, wearing down LSU's frontline. LSU freshman forward Jordan Mickey picked up two first-half fouls, while fellow freshman forward Jarell Martin had three fouls in the first half. Florida made five of its first seven 3-point attempts to build an early 30-14 lead.
On Friday, Donovan talked about his team's inability to stretch first-half leads. But Florida maintained its consistency on the offensive end of the floor for most of the half. Florida shot 55.6 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 12 to 6.
"We want to win by as many points as we can," Wilbekin said. "Something coach was stressing was wasted possessions, turnovers, possessions where we don't get up a good shot. Just eliminating those."
Ahead 41-25 at halftime, LSU cut UF's lead to 43-30 in the second half on a 3-pointer from point guard Anthony Hickey. But Florida went back to the press, with positive results. Prather scored two straight baskets in transition, one off a Will Yeguete steal. Then, Yeguete scored on an inside layup to put Florida up 49-30 with 17:58 remaining.
The Gators finished with 17 points off turnovers and outscored LSU 34-22 in the paint. Center Johnny O'Bryant III led LSU (17-11, 8-8 SEC) with 18 points, but needed to work to do it. O'Bryant made 6 of 14 shot attempts.
"They're an extremely good basketball team and they shot the lights out tonight," LSU forward Jordan Mickey said. "They had 13 3s and were great on defense, so they had it going on both sides."
Asked about the possibility of the Gators going 18-0 in the SEC, LSU coach Johnny Jones said: "It says a lot about their team. They sit here and they've already clinched the championship, and for the guys to come out and play as motivated and hard as they did tonight — the other motivation is for them to go undefeated in the league."
Donovan shied away from 18-0 talk, instead focusing on something the Gators accomplished. By winning their 27th game, Florida posted their highest win total in the regular season in school history.
"There's opportunities out there for them to chase things that hopefully will keep them motivated, focused, excited," Donovan said.

Did you know?
Lake Sibaya is home to 22 species of frogs and eight reptiles.
Lake Sibaya (or Sibhayi or Sibayi, as it is also known) is named as one of the 10 jewels of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the largest freshwater lake in South Africa. It is around 70 square kilometres in size and lies in the tropical north-eastern quadrant of KwaZulu-Natal.
Lake Sibaya was once at the mouth of a mighty river, and was open to the sea. Many years ago, though, things changed. Now, a high forested duneland divides Lake Sibaya from the coastline.
Surrounding it is the thickly vegetated iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also a Ramsar wetland of international importance (Ramsar is a town in Iran where an agreement was struck in 1971 to conserve significant wetlands).
Although its clear blue waters may look cool and appealing, Lake Sibaya is not a good place to swim and crocodiles and hippos paddle about in startlingly large numbers.
The lake has had little development pressure, and is considered near pristine, with over 100km of unspoilt shoreline. It has been been cut off from the ocean for so long that certain fish that were marine in origin have evolved to become unique freshwater specimens and are near-endemics . There are many interesting cichlids and gobies, along with various tilapias and mouthbrooders.
For birders, Lake Sibaya is paradise. Here you can find 279 species of rather special birds, including that rare vegetarian bird of prey – the palmnut vulture. You might also see the elusive Pel's fishing-owl, the pygmy goose, bat hawk, yellow white-eye, the rufous-bellied heron and Woodward's batis.
You'll almost certainly see the malachite, pied and giant kingfishers, flamingoes by the dozen, black-winged stilts, white-fronted sand plovers, spoonbills, swamp hens, crakes and bitterns.
Apart from the more or less unmissable crocodiles and hippos, keep an eye open for smaller creatures like water mongooses, reedbuck, samango monkeys, red squirrels and endangered blue duikers.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
iSimangaliso Wetland Park
Tel: +27 (0)35 590 1633
Fax: +27 (0)35 590 1602
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
From Durban, head north on the N2 for just over 300km, or about three hours' drive. Take the turn-off to Hluhluwe and from here, head north towards the scuba diving and camping haven of Sodwana. You're essentially driving through iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a very photogenic experience, so it could take you another two hours or so from Hluhluwe to Lake Sibaya. Lake Sibaya is just north of Mbazwana.
Best time to visit
Mid-summers are very hot and humid. Rather visit between April and October if you can.
Around the area
The reefs at nearby Sodwana are legendary and the water is always pleasant (also mostly startlingly clear).
Length of stay
Lake Sibaya is not really geared towards day-trips. It's better to stay in the area.
Where to stay
There's a beautiful luxury camp at Mabibi close to Lake Sibaya. You could also opt for family accommodation at Sodwana or even Kosi Bay.
Best buys
The woven basketwork made in this region is some of the finest you will ever see.

EA has decided to include Micro Transactions in Dead Space 3 to bypass earning it with skill. 8bitbot is wholly against this. Check our video to see why.
No... I am not boycotting. And i won't be buying the micro transaction too. I'll just play the game normal.
The upside of boycotting is to send a message to the big game developers that micro transactions are not right or fair.
Is it just me or does this website/youtube show look really, really lame? Looks like they're reading a script in their mom's basement
I don't see a reason to unless you're forced to buy things that add more content to the game that should have been there for free. IIRC, Dead Space 2 had a bunch of DLC that just made the game easier...nothing you absolutely required. It takes away from the challenge, anyway.

SQUAD building continues apace at Worcester Wolves with the signing of American guard Sean Park.
The 24-year-old joins from California's Chico State University, where he helped the Wildcats reach the Elite Eight of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division Two tournament, which was the best achievement in the school's history.
Park, who stands at 6ft 4ins, becomes the fourth new arrival of the summer following on from fellow guard Chavis Holmes and centres Donatas Visockis and Robert Thurman.
Captain Alex Owumi has also returned to the University Arena club along with forwards Jamal Williams and Kalil Irving and guard Disraeli Lufadeju.
Director of basketball Paul James said: "Sean is a player who will fit in well to our system and contribute to our team ethos.
"He knows how to put the ball in the hole and will be an asset and extend the depth of our team."
In his final season as a Wildcat, Park averaged 13 points per outing as well as pulling down five rebounds and serving up a couple of assists.
The American said: "I'm very excited to be joining the Wolves.
"As a rookie, it was important for me that I become a part of a winning situation.
"I look forward to doing whatever I can to help bring a championship to Worcester."
Trophy and play-off champions Wolves begin their British Basketball League campaign at defending champions Newcastle Eagles on Friday, September 26.
Point guard Zaire Taylor and centre Will Creekmore have departed Worcester during the close-season, while the future of small forward Kai Williams remains uncertain.
