Workshop Offers Tips for West Texas Landowners
EL PASO, Texas — A workshop to be held Jan. 18 will help West Texas landowners learn more about available tools to manage wildlife habitat and diversify income on smaller properties between two and 2,000 acres. The workshop is part of a statewide series designed to address the growing problem of Texas rural land being fragmented into smaller tracts, often involving urban-based owners who are interested in wildlife conservation but may lack experience in wildlife or land management.
For more than a century, rural Texas land has been owned mainly by farm and ranch families who lived on it. In recent decades, the countryside has been fragmented into smaller tracts owned increasingly by urban, absentee owners looking for a weekend retreat or retirement home. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report showing that Texas led the nation in the loss of undeveloped land from 1992-97.
Land fragmentation is one of the main threats to wildlife in Texas. It crowds wildlife into smaller spaces, blocks travel corridors and disrupts access to feeding areas.
The El Paso workshop will discuss the tools, people and funding programs available to help landowners achieve conservation and financial goals when managing property for wildlife. Local wildlife professionals from TPWD and other organizations will give presentations regarding habitat and species management techniques, wildlife tax valuation and other topics at the workshop.
"The loss of habitat and wildlife in Texas is directly proportional to urbanization, land fragmentation and the introduction of exotic (non-native) species," said Lois Balin, TPWD urban wildlife biologist in El Paso. "Landowners have the distinctive ability to assist in restoring habitat and wildlife diversity by participating in one of the many private landowner programs available. This workshop will provide the foundation of resources and tools needed to help landowners manage their property for the benefit of wildlife while supplementing their income."
TPWD and the Texas Cooperative Extension are sponsoring the event, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 18 at the A&M Research Center, 1380 A&M Circle in El Paso.
The cost for the workshop is $25 per person or $40 per couple, which covers lunch, refreshments and materials. Registration is required by Jan. 13 to ensure that organizers have sufficient workshop materials for attendees. For more information and reservations, contact Lois Balin at (915) 774-9603 or email@example.com or see the Landowner Workshops calendar on the TPWD Web site.

Burrell hockey program gets major boost in numbers
Burrell hockey is back. Only this time, it's for real.
After years of a lack of interest in the program, Burrell hockey has numerous players in the pipeline and is poised for a resurgence in PIHL hockey.
According to Burrell Hockey Club president Dave Schueler, there are more than enough students interested in playing and getting it back to the varsity level.
"We've actually had to turn kids away this year," Schueler said. "We have a junior varsity and a freshmen team, and we've turned kids away at both levels."
Schueler said that the Bucs hope to have a varsity team next year, as well as a JV and freshmen team. This group of young players hail mostly from Lower Burrell, but they also have players from the Penn Hills, Riverview, Highlands, Valley, and Leechburg school districts.
"Most of these kids play travel hockey as well," Schueler said. "They play in amateur associations and already had a team to play on. The big change is that we are working with the Ice Renegades in Harmar, and the Vipers that play out of this rink, to get more of the amateur kids into our program."
Bob Carroll is back as the Burrell coach this season and says he expects to have enough players to field both a PIHL varrsity team and an independent team for next season. Since the team has players from different communities who have to travel to the rinks, Carroll credits their parents for support.
"There's a lot more parent involvement in hockey teams, and they have been great," Carroll said. "You can only do as much as the parents help out."
Last year, Burrell's freshmen team went without a victory to finish at 0-16. However, Schueler expects the team to compete at the JV level. The team already has shown that it can score by winning their season opener, 6-4, against McDowell last week.
It may be too early to tell who Burrell's top threats will be this year, but Brandon Scholz and Cam Johnson are projected to lead the way for the Bucs' JV squad. For Burrell's freshmen squad, Schueler said to watch out for Jonathen Schueler and Nick Kaminski.
The interest in the team is so great that Burrell plans to have a developmental team next year with younger players in kindgergarten through sixth grade.
Tryouts for next year's teams will be around the end of May or beginning of June, according to Carroll.

There are few more life-changing experiences than having children. For those of you who are already parents, I don't need to tell you about the impact – both mentally and physically.
That impact – and the joy and wonder of children – was sheeted home to me earlier this month when my first child, a son, was born. There's nothing that compares to the joy of a new little person coming into your life. It's an amazing, wonderful experience.
You begin to imagine the future – from him talking and walking right through to how his teenage years and beyond will unfold. Don't get me wrong, we're not wishing the years away, but it's natural to wonder what his life will bring.
More than anything, I hope my son discovers happiness in life. It might sound cliched, but that's because it's universal, rather than glib.
Given my day job, however, I naturally started wondering a couple of things – what investing lessons I want my son to learn, and how I'm going to help him discover the wonderful opportunity he has in starting down the investing path at a very young age.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
1. Be positive. The power of democratic capitalism has been responsible for many of the innovations and advancements made in the past couple of centuries. Even when the market has got it wrong, the actual companies themselves keep on growing.
2. Make money your servant, not your master. I hope he's responsible with the opportunities – monetary and otherwise – he is handed in life. But I also hope he keeps it in perspective. After all, the richest man in the cemetery is still dead.
3. Have fun with investing. The business world is full of amazing companies and products. Thinking about which ones are likely to be successful and working out a reasonable price to pay might sound a little nerdy, but if you approach it in the right way, you can enjoy the challenge.
4. Think long term. He's just been born and has a wonderful life ahead. He can be anything he wants to be, and has the biggest single advantage, bar none, that any investor can ask for – time.
5. Be generous. With your time and your money. I hope he has a fulfilling work and home life. I also hope he can invest his money well enough to give him a wide range of choices – including the opportunity to help those who aren't so fortunate.
I'm sure that list will change over time. I'll refine it as I learn new things and reprioritise my thoughts.
Begin. Commence. Do. Start!
My son has a lifetime of potential ahead of him – investing and otherwise. However, it's true of all of us that the only place we can start from is where we are.
As you know, whether you're 8 or 88, at The Motley Fool we think investing in quality companies and paying attractive prices is a great way to build your wealth.
Moreover, if you're already a parent, aunt, uncle or grandparent – and if you're already investing – I want to ask you for a favour. Please take a little time to consider how you can help the younger generations in your family invest better. In the words of Warren Buffett: "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."
Regardless of your age, my suggestion would be a single word: start. Start reading, start thinking – and start investing. For yourself and for the younger people in your life.
Outside choosing a life partner, it may just be the most important decision you ever make.
Attention: If you're looking for companies with a lifetime of success, dividend-paying businesses can be a great place to start.

A leaked report, sent to a major foreign embassy in Tehran, has highlighted a rift between Iran and Syrian president, Bashar al Assad, Al Arabiya reported.
According to the document, sent by a western diplomat and copied to the Saudi-owned news network, Tehran believe the Syrian president is "not listening to the Iranians on how to deal with the current situation."
Iran has been a strong supporter of the Syrian regime, allegedly providing troops and arms to help President Assad defeat the opposition. Both Iran's government and the Syrian president are Shia and many regional commentators blame Iran for stirring up sectarian divides in Syria.
The latest report also details the apparent corruption within the Syrian army. According to the document, a huge part of the funds supplied by Iran is going in to the pockets of high ranking Syrian army officers. However, there is no mention of Tehran withdrawing its support from the Syrian regime and according to the report, Iran will continue its efforts to keep Assad in power until their own elections in June 2013.
Tehran is not convinced that the current Syrian regime will be able to stay in power in the long term, according to the document.

Manatee Sighted, Captured on Film in Cove Harbor
ROCKPORT, Texas — On Nov. 9, a manatee was spotted just outside of Rockport at an area known as Cove Harbor North, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department experts. The manatee was caught on video by some local residents and T.P.W.D. personnel were also on hand to witness this rare sighting. Aransas County Game Warden Danny Flores and Coastal Fisheries Biologist Dennis Pridgen also responded to the sighting.
"The manatee was videoed swimming in the area before disappearing. Sightings of manatees are extremely rare for this area as well as for the State of Texas," said Capt. Henry Balderamas. A manatee was last seen just South of Corpus Christi several years ago.
"The last time we have seen a manatee (or more than one) was July 2001," said Karen Meador, of TPWD's Coastal Fisheries Division in Rockport. "More than one was observed off Galveston, Port Aransas and in Rockport. Before that, we observed one or more manatees during late summer of 1995. What's interesting in all three instances is that tropical activity in the eastern Gulf of Mexico was above-average. As you know, this summer's weather could've easily blown this animal west of its habitat. There are no resident populations of manatees in Texas," said Meador.
Deborah Cohea, administrative assistant in the Rockport Law Enforcement office, witnessed the animal's rare appearance. "Game Warden Danny Flores said they had a manatee sighting and I said 'Where, I want to see it, I've never seen a manatee!' So I drove down there to Cove Harbor. I lived in Florida and I never saw one the whole time I lived there, it just made my day. We were standing on a dock and he was about five feet out on the water and he was huge, they said no less than 7-800 pounds, and a full grown healthy male. He rolled over and his front flippers came up by his face and it was just too cool!"

Reading the HTML Reference, marquee is not in the deprecated list, but in another area it is mentioned as the "worst element ever!" and that it should not be used. Personally, I like it. But if it is to be deprecated, I know I should move on, but I have a major problem.
I'm not into great web design, I'm not kidding anyone there. But I maintain the old high school class web site that is hosted by a provider that does NOT want any <script></script> tags on the Free web sites they allow us to use. The basic layout is common to all the class sites is the same, but each of us "admins" can customize the site to some degree.
Example: I like to create a slideshow of all the old class mates with birthdays in the same month. AH-h.... new to me is using images in the Marquee, so I've done so. It's cute & different & fairly unique. I run the images in one direction and the text containing the names & dates in the opposite direction. They don't match, but that adds the cuteness to the display.
So, if I'm to deprecate Marquee and can't use <script> or Javascript, or some other script, then what am I to do to get the same type of effect?
Deprecation is a status applied to a computer software feature, characteristic, or practice indicating it should be avoided, typically because of being superseded.
That being said, in my opinion, if you have no other choice, as in your case, as long as it works use it.
I'm sure many wouldn't agree, but as I said it's my opinion.
Personally I think "blink" is worse......
No MARQUEE in NOT "Deprecated", since it's Propriety MS nonsense it NEVER was in the Recommendation to start with - because it was so badly designed.
To mark something as obsolete and about to be removed from the standard (which is what deprecated means) it has to be a part of the standard in the first place. It isn't possible to remove the marquee tag from the standards as it has never been a part of any standard.
Marquee is a behaviour and JavaScript is the appropriate language to define web page behaviour. It is rather easy to add some JavaScript to your pages that will allow any part of the page to be converted to a marquee simply by adding a class to the tag. See http://www.felgall.com/jstip109.htm for an example.
To xhtmlcoder: if it is so badly designed, why is it still around? Why didn't it get non-supported at some point because of the bad design. OR, better yet, why didn't someone sometime rewrite it into a good design? AND your link to "menu/cssplay-radio-left-right-click.html" had me confused. I saw the slideshow, but I want something that is turned on and left to run without any user clicking the little arrows to go to the next slide.And, as originally stated, I can't use Javascript, the host of our free web sites forbids it.
The people who created the browsers don't want their users switching to a different browser because they have ceased supporting something that some web pages use and which those users are used to seeing work. Even if all the HTML tags that shouldn't be used any more were to be completely removed from the standard the browsers that support them would continue to do so simply so as to not break all the prehistoric web pages that use them.
Sounds good in theory, but I lived thru the early days when Netscape was the only viable alternative to the Internet Exploder. And I think I have on my book shelf a web master manual whose reference section to HTML lists ones used in IE and the alternatives used in Netscape. People didn't mind too much then.
But having worked in the SW industry for lots of years, I have to say that one of my irritations has always been when big updates "have to include" all the old stuff they don't support, but users use.
As for HTML, if something is being used a lot, then maybe it should be part of the "standard of the day." And some simple things ought to be included just because they'd make everyone's life a lot simpler...... my choice here is a simple way to "include" a block of common HTML code to my page.
All I'll say here is that I'll use Marquee until it is Deprecated, or until something else is introduced that does the job that is not some script that requires some extra executable, like Java.
Looked at your "marquee" at the above URL. I have a few comments, if you don't mind.
The quotes you use in the marquee example should read:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. <-- the typing idea for this was to hit every letter of the alphabet.She sells sea shells down by the sea shore. <-- just a missing word.
And, since your code was all run together and I don't know Javascript, the question is Can you run your images then have the text either above or below the images, like having your name below your picture? If so, can you insure the text will line up correctly?
As noted prior MARQUEE will never be deprecated because it was never even official - part of the reason was because it wasn't structural but presentational and caused web accessibility issues. Obviously not all browsers support it.
Warning! the following link may cause motion strobe and flicker leading to epileptic episodes: http://www.goer.org/htmlhorror/htmlhorror1.html of course BLINK has been replaced by CSS {text-decoration: blink} and the scroll animation won't work in Fx in the absence of JavaScript.
Like said, you can get some scrolling effects with CSS 3 animation. Though probably the nearest direct mapping CSS to marquee would be: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-marquee/ People made a lot of mistakes in the Browser Wars and so did the vendors last century. HTML5 includes the "junk" many people were wishing to get rid off or thought they had in the Strict Doctypes. HTML5 is 'descriptive' rather than 'proscriptive', which undoubtedly will lead to a lot of authors using "bad practice". Like Stephen said there is still some legacy support for various ancient "proprietary" tags. Perhaps even ILAYER if you can remember that far back, in Netscape 4.x series. Someday EMBED will probably be made official.
In HTML, there is obsolete, and there is deprecated, and they are not the same thing (well, they probably are, but someone wanted to change the terminology... deprecated was supposed to mean "thrown out of the spec" while obsolete seems to mean "it's in the spec but it should not be used EVAR").
Marquee in HTML5 is, like, obsolete-obsolete*. It will throw an error in the validator. As opposed to the obsolete-but-conforming elements, who'll only give you a warning.Well and watch out, there are two specs we're dealing with... W3C and WHATWG. An example of weirdness is the <u> element. **Still, there is an "implementation" page for vendors (browser makers) with specific instructions on how to support these things. There's one for marquee.
Most of them do. The big non-supporter I know of is Chrome, who does support marquee, but doesn't seem to hold to the implementor's rules. Or something. It misses some attributes and features IE originally had in marquee that most of the earlier browsers has supported... I forget which ones, and I only know this because someone came over here to SitePoint and asked why his marquee wasn't doing x and y in Chrome. It was lawlz.
But, I mean, it scrolls.
WHATWG did just that. They gave it the smelly name of "paving the cowpaths". It was via this manner that <iframe>,<embed>, and XMLHttpRequest were brought into the HTML spec (iframe back from deprecation; embed who like marquee was never in the spec at all and brought in; same for XHR). They were brought in because they were so much in use, the spec writers decided there ought to be a specification for something used so much. Because specifications tell you how browser vendors (implementors) should deal with that markup and how authors should write it.
Marquee never got that because, like blink, it was probably considered a monstrosity that should have been killed while incubating over at MS.
That said...
Long ago I noticed in Firefox (back in ... 3.0?) that the page XhtmlCoder linked to, the Evan Goer's OH POINTY BIRDS page, that not all the blinking and marqueeing elements were actually moving. The browser had blocked many by default it seemed... only a few of the elements appeared. Take a look in an older browser and you'll see about twice as many.
But anyway, so what if it's deprecated? Or obsolete? That's for validators anyway. If you have such a child-eating hoster, and you are not an HTML writer, validation is not one of your worries.
** It's deprecated in the W3C HTML5 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/changes.html#idx-deprecatedIt is not deprecated in the WHATWG HTML5 spec: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-u-element
No - deprecated means obsolete now and will be removed completely from the language when the next version comes out. With programming languages you know that when something is marked as deprecated in version 4 that if you try to run the code using version 5 that it will crash because it no longer recognises the previously deprecated command at all. Unfortunately with HTML the browsers and those developing HTML 5 are disregarding that HTML 4 flagged a whole series of unnecessary tags for complete removal in HTML 5 and they have un-deprecated them by not removing support for them. After all they were deprecated for a reason and that reason still applies - just with too many novices still writing HTML 3.2 and wanting to call what they are writing HTML 5 actually removing the tags flagged for removal would break too much of the web.
Of course embed is only needed to support Netscape 4 and earlier and iframe is only necessary to support IE7 and earlier - all more recent browsers support the object tag properly for those uses. Still, it seems many people are still writing their web pages with Netscape 4 and earlier as their target browsers rather than bringing their code up to date. By the time that HTML 5 becomes a standard the browsers that need you to use embed or iframe will be long dead (one is already and the other almost is now).
You just need to add a single line to the CSS attached to your browser to turn off all marquee tags on the entire web. See http://www.felgall.com/marquee.htm for instructions on how to do it in several different browsers. With that one liner in your browser the browser will ignore all marquee tags and treat the content the same as if it were in any other HTML tag.
The text could be easily changed and for the purpose of showing how the marquee works the content doesn't matter. After all it is just text inside of the appropriate HTML tag that is converted into a marquee by attaching class="marquee" to the container tag.
That particular marquee script converts whatever is in the content into a single line of text/images. To put the text above or below the images using that script you'd need to set them up as two separate marquees. They would stay aligned one below the other provided that the total width of the content of each when placed on a single line is the exact same width (since all the marquees in the page will move at the same speed). No matter how many marquees you have in the page you'd still only need the one copy of that script attached as it converts all the tags in the page that have class="marquee" into marquees..
Not in HTML. There's deprecated, a term used by the W3C. There's obsolete, a (new) term used by the WHATWG and in general for HTML5. They are both writing HTML specs. W3C actually still calls it by version number: we are on 5.0 and they are currently writing 5.1. Things deprecated will (likely) remain deprecated, but they are never removed. Obsolete things are not removed; they are marked as obsolete, and then vendors are told how to implement it anyway. Some obsolete things will bring a warning in the validator (the "conforming" ones) while the others will bring an error like deprecated elements did back in the day of HTML4.
As far as authors are concerned, with HTML5, there is no more "deprecated". Despite there being a W3C page about it.
which HTML isn't, never will be, and only sorta slightly half-a$$edly follows the slightest rules for.
They have never removed support for them. Only reason Chrome hadn't everything for marquee had pretty much everything to do with it being the sole baby browser in the world at the time. They had no legacy, except whatever they inherited from KHTML (I think they threw a lot out, especially after the spat KHTML guys had with Apple... which btw seems to have been somewhat patched up, or so I heard in a rumourz on teh interwebs).The "un-deprecation" is the WHATWG either re-creating new meanings for some tags (which were not actually deprecated in any case, like em, strong, b and i), bringing wholly new things into the spec (XHR, embed) and making things the W3C had labeled "deprecated" just in the spec. In the spec means in the spec for WHATWG.
That's awesome, though I used to actually write user stylesheets, I stopped that about when I stopped using bookmarks because every new machine needed new copies and every new browser and blah blah and I was lazy. I just hit the back button with sites with scrolling crap I can't turn off. It's way easier for me. But! Most people don't switch machines or browsers as much as I've been doing recently so I think it's a pretty valuable piece of CSS, so thanks. I might twot that.
So basically the HTML standards people have changed the meaning of deprecated to suit themselves. It has had the specific meaning that I mentioned with respect to all programming languages for several decades and presumably still had that meaning for HTML when HTML 4 became the current standard.
For example when PHP 4 was released there were a number of things from PHP 3 that were marked as deprecated. When PHP 5 was released those things marked as deprecated in PHP 4 no longer existed and so code that used them would no longer run.
It is going to be confusing for anyone writing both markup and programming languages if the same term has a different meaning for markup languages to what it has for programming languages.
I suppose the HTML 5 standards people will next define "flying pigs" to mean something that you see every day of the week.
It's as if HTML is afraid if it removes stuff in later versions, it'll forget who it is and resort to tattooing itself and taking polaroid photos to know what's going on... and not to trust Apple.
Probably but only if Hixie doesn't say No.
I think that the real problem is with the way browsers implement HTML. Instead of looking at the web page to see which version of HTML it is supposed to be usingand then use that particular version to display the page the web browsers instead have their own version of HTML built into the browser itself - which therefore needs to be able to cope with whatever version of HTML that the page uses.
So in reality there is no browser that supports HTML 3.2, HTML 4 or HTML 5. Instead you have IE7 supporting HTMLIE7, IE10 supports only HTMLIE10, Chrome 25 supports only HTMLC25, Opera 12 supports only HTMLO12 and so on.
Which I think they did as a practical answer to the fact that they feel they can't afford to be like a C compiler. You know the phisherman's dilemma?
If all phishermen are causing people to stop reading mail which will in turn devistate all phishermen, and one or several decide to stop phishing or phish less... this does not benefit them, but only benefits the all-out phishers since now they have much less competition. In the end, the phishers who stopped phishing fail entirely and still eventually the scammed quit reading mail and all phishers die out anyway and the world ends due to global warming blah blah.
Well nobody wants to be the one or one of the browsers who shows a Yeller Screen O Death instead of some band's myspace page, because users will switch to the One Who Works, and therefore everyone is doomed anyway.
It only works when it's like a C compiler: always always always dies a horrible loud obvious error-prone death every single time no matter which platform you're on. We don't have this in HTML. Because Postel blah blah. Damn him.
You're in the wrong section in the WHATWG spec. Check the "obsolete features" section. Also, the W3C version you're looking at is several years old.
Um, that's HTML 4.
Lawlz, why yes it is. What I get for drinking in the evening and posting on forums.
And someone else also asked me "why you looking at old specs?" and sent me to a more-newer-better W3C draft page.

MIDFIELDER Yaser Kasim has admitted he still feels a little lost in Town's formation but is confident the team can make it work for them as the new season draws near.
Swindon get their League One campaign under way against Scunthorpe on Saturday and will be doing so with three centre halves flanked by two attacking wing backs.
Kasim's role in manager Mark Cooper's strategy is as part of the three-man central midfield, with the Iraqi admitting it is not a formation he or his teammates are particularly familiar with.
The 23-year-old is confident the squad will quickly get to grips with their new way of playing but insisted it will only come through hard work and every member of the team buying into the club's philosophy.
"We need to do more, on the training ground, everywhere," he said.
"We need to understand our roles a lot more and for me personally there are certain times I don't understand what's going on and I don't like to be in that position on a football pitch.
"If it's like that I don't know how to solve the problem and in my position I have to make the play for long periods of time so we have to do a bit more.
"We have two players who maybe haven't played in this sort of system and haven't played with these players before, so they need to get a lot of work in and we have to look after them.
"For sure it's not inbred for us to play this way from a young age. Some clubs play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 but not this system.
"The most important thing is the football philosophy and no matter what system you're playing you must have a certain philosophy about your play and your passing."
Despite his concerns, Kasim insisted he is comfortable with Town's formation going into the Scunthorpe clash and insisted it is perhaps performances, rather than results, on which the tactics should be judged.
"I'm comfortable in any formation but we have to get it down and sorted," he said.
"It's all about performance because even if you have a bad performance and you win then you won't feel as great as you should do.
"If you have a bad performance, win 2-1 and everybody's happy, then the cracks will soon appear.
"We have to work on it, even after the first game, because footballers know that even after you take two steps forward you can take one back with a mistake.
"Everyone in the changing room wants to do it because we want to have a good season for ourselves as a group and everyone at the club."

Abductive validation is the process of validating a given hypothesis through abductive reasoning. Under this principle, an explanation is valid if it is the best possible explanation of a set of known data. The best possible explanation is often defined in terms of simplicity and elegance (see Ockham's razor). Abductive validation is common practice in hypothesis formation in science.
After obtaining results from an inference procedure, we may be left with multiple assumptions, some of which may be contradictory. Abductive validation is a method for identifying the assumptions that will lead to your goal.

Diego Della Valle has thrown yet another cook into the Schiaparelli mix: after announcing Farida Khelfa as the "face" of the brand and Vincent Darre as the decorator of the Maison, today he has revealed that Christian Lacroix will create a one-off couture collection, to be unveiled in July, that will be an "homage" to the late designer. That's a lot of opinions and aesthetics under one roof. But there's more (and there will be more)! Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2013 (1684 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A copy of the Winnipeg Jets schedule for the abbreviated 2013 NHL season has been leaked on Twitter.
While this appears to be a first draft of the schedule, the Free Press is led to believe opponents and dates will not change from this draft, although start times might.
The Jets will play 24 games at the MTS Centre. Three games appear to be cut off the schedule, including one home game -- likely in the first week of April.
Interesting to note is the Pittsburgh Penguins will be in Winnipeg twice, while the Washington Capitals will be here three times, including on back-to-back nights in March.
The Jets open against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, Jan. 19 at MTS Centre and close out the regular season against the Montreal Canadiens at home on Thursday, April 25, according to the leaked schedule.

Carl Froch admits he has "everything to lose" when he defends his IBF super-middleweight title against unfancied American Yusaf Mack next month.
The Nottingham veteran defends his belt for the first time on November 17 after becoming a three-time world champion by obliterating Lucian Bute in May.
Froch (29-2, 21KO wins) was a betting underdog against Bute but finds himself regarded as the overwhelming favourite against Philadelphian Mack, who has never beaten an elite fighter and is dropping down in weight for the bout.
Even the self-styled 'Cobra' admits he knows little about the low-profile challenger but is well aware he cannot take Mack lightly when they meet at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena.
"I've got nothing to win and everything to lose," said Froch, 35. "From that point of view I've got to keep myself focused and keep that determination and desire strong to make sure that when I'm in the gym I'm doing the work and when I'm hitting the punchbag, really gritting my teeth and putting in the work.
"I could have stayed in bed this morning and not bothered because I've had this press conference today and I'm in the gym later today.
"But I got up and did my five-mile run at a good pace to make sure I'm on the case, because I need to be."
Mack (31-4-2, 17KO wins) has no concerns about dropping half a stone to secure his shot.
"I'm going to stick to my gameplan and do what I've got to do," he said. "Nothing's changed due to coming down in weight, it's just about keeping it basic and replicating what I'm doing in training when the time comes in the ring. I'm still able to eat what I want despite having to drop the extra weight.
"Froch is an A-grade fighter, he comes to fight. But on November 17 he's going to be in front of a real fighter who isn't going to fade."

The joys of reading OLD history books: Myths & Legends of the Celtic Race

As some of these old history books can be, I expected it to be pretty dry, but have found myself pleasantly surprised! […]Read More →

Hi,it might not be right forum to ask this question but i think people might have idea. i accidently deleted my style files from within dreamweaver. i m using mac os. where does it go? can i get it back.if yes how?
Have a look in the Trash folder (trash bin icon in the Dock).
If it's not in the Trash then you may be able to extract the data from the browser's cache file. If using Safari, this can be found in [user account]/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Use a text editor such as the free TextWrangler to open the cache file. How long this will take, or if it can be opened at all, depends on the size of the file and your system (a 100MB cache file opens here in around 8 seconds.).
With the file open in the editor, set it to soft wrap the text for easier reading and then search for some CSS that you know the stylesheet contains. If/when you find the code, copy it and paste into a new text file.
i was using firefox and dreamweaver.any chance?
how do i open cache.db, which tools?
As mentioned above, a text editor. Even TextEdit should do it.
i was able to retrieve some bits of my css. i wonder why not full.is there a way for getting my css fully back from cache?
If you revisit one of the pages in Safari's History menu and it shows the styles correctly then you should be able to access the CSS via the Resources panel of the Web Inspector (this is found in the Developer menu that can be turned on in the Advanced section of Safari's Preferences).
Did you ever look in the Trash?
Always make sure you have your computer backed up. Even if you get a cheap external hard drive and set up Time Machine, you'll have a backup of everything.
Yes, i saw in trash but DW doesn't save it. i think its a stupid IDE for not trashing it into trash.I had to work all the way..all night long but finally did it and learn my lesson .
That really helped me.pulling the base of my css layout from cache. i use aptana, i wish they have browse all version feature. but thanks!p.s - like u said get it from history, what is the right way to access something like that from history. do i need to offline to do that because new stuff will replace the old one right?
Thank you all. I had to work all again but i managed!
Sad thing DW doesn't throw it into trash. :(....just FYI

Complete Withdraw from New River Community and Technical College
Any student whose credit hours drop to "0" or who wishes to leave New River must complete a Request for Withdrawal Form. These forms are only located on campus. The signatures must be obtained by the student; the form should be taken to the Business Office or the Registrar's Office.
Students who officially withdraw from all courses for which they have registered during a semester in the academic year will be eligible for a full refund if they withdraw prior to the start of the semester or prior to the first day of class with a delayed start. It is important to withdraw before the semester begins if you change your mind about taking courses for a particular semester. Students are responsible for adhering to deadlines, available in the academic calendar.
Please note that being eligible for a refund does not necessarily mean a refund in the form of a check sent to the student - it is the amount of tuition that is removed from the overall bill. Withdrawing from the college may cause a balance owed from the student to the College and the student is responsible for paying this balance.
Students who officially withdraw from all courses after the "full refund " period described above shall be eligible to receive a refund of regular tuition and fees in accordance with the following schedule. Special fees will not be refunded.
The following schedule for calculating refunds shall be adhered to for those students who withdraw from the institution via the official withdrawal process and who are eligible to receive refunds:
Summer 2017 Refund Schedule
Summer I 2017
(Ten-Week Term May 22, 2017-July 28, 2017)
|Prior to the start of the semester (Before May 22, 2017)
|May 22, 2017 - May 25, 2017
|May 26, 2017 - June 8, 2017
|June 9, 2017 - June 22, 2017
Summer I 2017
(Five-Week Term May 22, 2017-June 23, 2017)
|Prior to the start of the semester (Before May 22, 2017)
|May 22, 2017 - May 24, 2017
|May 25, 2017 - May 31, 2017
|June 1, 2017 - June 7, 2017
Summer II 2017
(Five-Week Term June 26, 2017-July 28, 2017)
|Prior to the start of the semester (Before June 26, 2017)
|June 26, 2017 - June 28, 2017
|June 29, 2017 - July 6, 2017
|July 10, 2017 - July 13, 2017
Should the percentage of calculation identify a particular day, the entire day will be included in the higher refund period. All refunds are to be calculated from the first day of classes of a given semester or term. Every student who registers incurs a financial obligation to the College. Exceptions to this policy resulting from extenuating circumstances must be approved by the Registrar or designee before a refund may be processed.
Return of Title IV Refunds
Financial Aid recipients who fail to withdraw before 60% of the semester has been completed or choose not to attend courses may be required to repay a portion of the federal aid received. Repayments are based on the number of days a student has been enrolled in classes.

I keep reading on forums like this one that Meseraco is untouchable and Grandal should be traded for an arm or a LF. My question is how big a drop off is it from Meseraco to Grandal?
I believe one the bright spots for this team last year was it's catching. Ramon and Ryan are a pretty good tandem. I get a little frustrated by how Dusty uses them sometimes, but they have been pretty good. I wouldn't take to many other catching situations in the NL over this one.
Ramon has hinted at the fact he would like to stay in Cin. I say give him another year with a team option for 2. Meseraco would get us much more right now then Grandal, so go get a plus arm or 2. By the time Ramon was done, Grandal should be ready to go.
I like the fact that Grandal is a switch hitter. He would give whoever the skipper was more versatility in the line up as well.
Let me know what you guys think?

The United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare (also known as HEW) was a cabinet-level department of the United States government from 1953 until 1979. It was administered by the United States Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. In 1979, a separate Department of Education (ED) was created from this department, and HEW was renamed as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
To date, this was the only department of the U.S. government to be created through presidential reorganization authority, in which the president is allowed to create or reorganize bureaucracies as long as neither house of Congress passed a legislative veto. This power to create new departments was removed after 1962, but in the early 1980s the Supreme Court declared legislative vetoes unconstitutional.

A vet is warning dog owners of the dangers of corn on the cob after a Labrador needed life-saving surgery to remove a husk lodged in his stomach.
The 11-year-old Labrador, called Finn, found the piece of corn when the Evans family, from Wandsworth, held a barbeque on Friday, June 13.
Roger Bralow, head vet at the Wimbledon-based Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital, said corn husks are indigestible by dogs and, once eaten, can cause a potentially fatal obstruction unless they are surgically removed.
His owner, Charlotte Evans, said he liked to scavenge at any opportunity – like many Labradors.
The family caught him with the corn but the cheeky pooch managed to eat it before they could stop him.
Finn was initially fine but was sick overnight and for the following four days.
Mrs Evans said: "[The vets] told us while many dogs vomit from time to time, they rarely do it for several days so we took him in straight way.
"He was starting to lose weight and we were very worried about him. When the Stone Lion team X-rayed him and found the corn husk, I was distraught, as was my eight year old daughter Tabitha - Finn has been with us since before she was born.
"They told us they would have to operate immediately as any delay could prove dangerous so we spent a very worrying few hours.
"It was a great relief to hear that the surgery had gone well and the corn had been removed without problem. He is now recovering well - and back to his old scavenging habits - but we are keeping corn on the cob well away from him."
Vet Roger Bralow added: "Fortunately, Finn's owners got him to us in time so we could help him and it's great that he is recovering so well from the surgery."
The Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital is based at 41 High Street, Wimbledon and can be contacted on 0208 946 4228.

Hollywood shines spotlight on spy's role in bin Laden captureGreg Miller
Published: December 13 2012 - 3:00AM
WASHINGTON: She was a real-life heroine of the CIA hunt for Osama bin Laden, a headstrong young operative whose work tracking the al-Qaeda leader serves as the dramatic core of a Hollywood film set to premiere next week.
But her CIA career has followed a more problematic script since bin Laden was killed.
The operative, who remains undercover, was passed over for a promotion that many in the CIA thought would be impossible to withhold from someone who played such a key role in one of the most successful operations in agency history.
She has sparred with CIA colleagues over credit for the bin Laden mission. After being given a prestigious award for her work, she sent an email to other recipients saying they did not deserve to share her accolades, current and former officials said.
The woman has also come under scrutiny for her contacts with filmmakers and others about the bin Laden mission, part of a broader internal inquiry into the agency's co-operation on the new movie and other projects, former officials said.
Her defenders say the operative has been treated unfairly, and even her critics acknowledge that her contributions to the bin Laden hunt were crucial. But the developments have cast a cloud over a career that is about to be bathed in a glow usually reserved for fictional Hollywood spies.
The officer, who is in her 30s, is the model for the main character in Zero Dark Thirty, a film that chronicles the decade-long hunt for the al-Qaeda chief and that critics are describing as in line for an Academy Award even before its release next Wednesday.
The character Maya, which is not the CIA operative's real name, is played by Jessica Chastain. Maya is portrayed as a gifted operative who spent years pursuing her conviction that al-Qaeda's courier network would lead to bin Laden, a conviction that proved correct.
At one point in the film, after a female colleague is killed in an attack on a CIA compound in Afghanistan, Maya describes her purpose in near-messianic terms: ''I believe I was spared so I could finish the job.''
Colleagues said the film captures the woman's dedication and combative temperament. ''She's not Miss Congeniality, but that's not going to find Osama bin Laden,'' said a former CIA associate, who added that the attention from filmmakers sent waves of envy through the agency's ranks.
''The agency is a funny place, very insular,'' the former official said. ''It's like middle-schoolers with clearances.''
The woman is not allowed to talk to journalists and the CIA declined to answer questions about her, except to stress that the bin Laden mission involved an extensive team. ''Over the course of a decade, hundreds of analysts, operators and many others played key roles in the hunt,'' said an agency spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood.
The movie has been a source of controversy since it was revealed that the filmmakers, including director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal, were given extensive access to officials at the White House, the Pentagon and the CIA.
Members of the US Congress have called for investigations into whether classified information was shared. The movie's release was delayed amid criticism that it amounted to a re-election advertisement for President Barack Obama.

Deep Panuke Fire Probe
HALIFAX — An investigation has been launched into an electrical fire that resulted in the evacuation of personnel from the Deep Panuke natural gas production platform off Nova Scotia on Saturday January 22.
A spokeswoman for SBM Offshore, the owner and operator of the platform, says the inquiry will include an examination of why the automatic fire suppression system failed to work.
Anne Guerin-Moens says firefighters still managed to quickly extinguish the small electrical fire.
She says the investigation will be carried out by the project's owner, EnCana (TSX:ECA), and Dutch-based SBM and there is no firm deadline yet for when its findings will be available.
She says 46 people were temporarily evacuated from the platform, which is 250 kilometres southeast of Halifax, while firefighters extinguished the fire.
The offshore project had previously said it wants to produce natural gas by the middle of 2013, but Guerin-Moens says it's too early to know if the fire will cause production delays.

ANY comic worth their mettle knows the Edinburgh Fringe is stand-up's Mount Olympus and they'd be treading blind into the tiger's pit if they didn't test out their efforts first.
On Friday three stand-ups are doing exactly that with an Edinburgh Fest preview at Taunton's Brewhouse Theatre.
They are Omar Hamdi, who launched his career last year at the Taunton Comedy Festival, and West Country comics Tom Glover and Cerys Nelmes with their odes to life in the region.
Audiences can be assured it won't be 'notebook in hand'.
Entertainment reporter DAISY BLACKLOCK gets the low-down.
STAND-UP Cerys Nelmes, Mother of 'The Teenager', aka @hatemymum, and a hardened MC, is teaming up with her mate Tom Glover for Edinburgh 2014.
"Ever since I started my comedy has been about stuff I've done and stuff that's happened to me," she said.
"I've got a 16 year-old son, Callam, so I do a big chunk on him because he's comedy gold at the moment.
"I got him up this morning, made him a bacon sandwich, he downs a Red Bull and goes off to his exams – that's the kind of GCSE exam preparation we do.
"I MC'd for Sarah Millican's preview last year. She was sat out the back saying to him 'I can't believe what she's saying about you!' "When I took him out to the audience at the end of the night the crowd all cheered.
"He's got quite a name for himself on the comedy circuit."
WELSH-EGYPTIAN Omar Hamdi supported Russell Kane on his 2013-14 tour, has just finished his solo show at Brighton Fringe and is taking his 45-minute solo show to Edinburgh.
He said: "The theme of my show is history and how it affects us.
"I've just run it at Brighton Fringe, so it's actually becoming really polished.
"I've tried to avoid the label 'political comedian'. The tradition of political, current affairs, topical comedy, is usually a middle-aged guy talking about Nick Clegg, being quite self-congratulatory.
"I think we now have a comedy coming through that hasn't yet been picked up on.
"There's a new wave of comedians, quite young and hip like me ... within that construct of observational comedy, where there's that bit of awareness.
"It's always related to my personal life.
"There's obviously such a demand for stand-up in Taunton. When I did the first Taunton Comedy Festival in the big marquee in front of 800 people, it was the gig of my career."
FORMER newshound Tom Glover grew up in Bridport, Dorset, and he says local papers are rife with comedy material . . . including the County Gazette.
"Cerys and I are doing half a show each – we're not actually a double act.
"My comedy is very observational – stories about my life, the sorts of conflicts between counties in the South-West.
"I once read a Taunton story about a bus driver who was attacked by a gang who threw cabbages. It has been in my set ever since.
"I've been doing comedy for three years now. I always wanted to, but it's nerve-wracking, so I avoided it for a while."

The specific issue we face is salts being left behind in the blind and small threaded holes after parts are rinsed and dried. Some parts have dozens or even a hundred or more holes in them.
We have been told by a pretreatment chemical supplier that it may be worth looking at adding a rinse aid to our rinses. How helpful do you think that actually could be? Will it make that much difference or have that much of an impact on surface tension that the water will, in fact, rinse out more readily or help to rinse the various diluted chemicals still trapped in those holes? M.P.
A. From your description, it seems you are doing all the right things from the standpoint of system design. Three rinses and DI water following your process tanks is admirable. With that much forethought with the design, I assume that you have also employed counterflow rinse techniques to minimize water usage. In short, this involves introduction of the cleanest water into the final rinse tank, then counter flowing into the previous two tanks.
You can expect a rinse aid, wetting agent or surfactant (all essentially the same) to provide a significant reduction in surface tension of the water. A very low concentration of a surfactant (on the order of ~0.001 percent) can cut the surface tension in half or more. This can make a significant difference in the ability of the rinse water to penetrate those blind holes and recesses you are having trouble with. It will 1) displace the vestiges of the conversion coating and 2) enable the rinsewater to be displaced by progressively cleaner and cleaner rinse water.
It sounds like you have invested a significant amount in the design of your system and paid particular attention to proper rinsing, particularly with the multiple tanks. The addition of a rinse aid or surfactant can effectively enable you to take advantage of all three progressively cleaner rinse tanks. Without it, those blind holes are receiving what is essentially a single rinse, since there is no turnover or dilution due to the high surface tension of the water.

Funeral directors C S Bowyer are appealing for help with their campaign to collect as many unwanted textiles as possible to raise money for the hospice Helen and Douglas House.
The campaign, which runs untill December 31, is to collect black bin liners full of clothes, soft toys, paired shoes, caps, linen, bags and belts.
C S Bowyer will then arrange with Devizes-based charity Bag4Sport to weigh the items, which will be taken away in return for a cheque to the firm to donate to the hospice charity for children and young adults.
The charity was chosen by Trowbridge branch funeral arranger and administrator Adam Bewley as it looked after his 15-year-old cousin, Harry Dodd, from Devizes, before he died from a brain tumour in 2012.
Mr Bewley said: "Each month C S Bowyer do a community activity, with the money going to extremely worthy causes. Having not worked with Helen and Douglas House previously, this was a perfect opportunity for us to do so.
"It couldn't be easier as we just want people's rubbish. We will collect any black bin liner full of clothes or any other soft textiles, which will then be weighed by Bag4Sport in return for a cheque.
"Harry was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was 15 and his story touched a lot of people, especially in the Devizes area where his family is from.
"During that time we saw the great work that Helen and Douglas House carry out, so the decision to donate the money raised through this campaign is very personal to me, and hopefully the community will get involved."
C S Bowyer is well known for its community activities in West Wiltshire, with the Bradford branch recently competing in the soapbox derby in Trowbridge, as well as the pancake race, a book sale and photo competition.
Anyone wishing to donate can do so by dropping a bin bag with textiles at CS Bowyer or, alternatively, contact Mr Bewley at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for bags to be picked up.

The development process can quickly unravel when a herd of speculative investors steers into a country. Brazil boldly attempted to regulate such speculation in 2010 and 2011. Their efforts were a modest success, but developing countries can't bear the full burden of regulating cross-border capital flows.
"Hot money" in the form of short-term debt, currency trading, stock market, real estate speculation, all stampeded into emerging market developing countries in 2010 and 2011. Low interest rates in the developed world and higher rates in emerging markets triggered such financial flows. The fact that developing countries were growing faster than crisis-plagued industrial nations played a role as well. Via the carry trade, investors borrow dollars and buy Brazilian real. Then they short the dollar and go long on the real. Depend on the leverage factor an investor can make, well, a killing. Read more

A FROSTY reception holds no fears for Dougie Freedman as he makes his way back to Crystal Palace this afternoon.
The former Crystal Palace boss led the Eagles from administration and the Championship relegation zone to the top of the table in 18 months at the helm.
In all, he spent more than a decade at the club as player, coach and manager and he believes his record at Selhurst Park should spare him most of the Palace fans' wrath as he returns for the first time since quitting the club for the Reebok last October.
"There will be a minority of people who don't see eye-to-eye with the decisions you make but I think the majority will recognise the job I did," he said. "I would imagine that the majority will give me a good reception.
"I am very proud of what I achieved. I will be walking in with my head held very highly because when we got there we were nearly bottom of the league, and took them nearly to the top with big assets.
"When I took the club over we were in the bottom three and there had been a lot of hard luck there.
"Myself, my staff, the fans and the recruitment side of it all worked very hard. We all played a part in moving the club forward and leaving it with tens of millions of pounds worth of assets.
"I am very proud of that and you can't take it away.
"This was a challenge that I couldn't turn down."
Freedman brought the likes of Lennie Lawrence, Cutris Fleming and Jamie Fullarton with him from South East London but says he has had no contact with the Eagles' hierarchy.
"I feel that it was only right that I didn't speak until this moment about Crystal Palace because of my affection for the club, and I think it would harm the club," he said.
"I haven't spoken to anyone at all, I have let them get on with it, and if I have brought in any staff I have gone through the right channels."

We now sell Innovations 16 gram threaded CO₂ Cartridges as singles. Each cartridge has enough CO₂ to inflate a 700 x 23c tire to roughly 100psi. On the trail, one 16g cartridge will inflate a typical 26" mountain bike tire to roughly 40psi. We generally like to ride with a couple cartridges for added insurance against unforeseen events, like double punctures. Or you may need to loan one to a friend in need.
Please Note: Per UPS regulations, ORM-D items such as this must ship via surface transport: UPS Ground or UPS Standard (Canada). We are unable to ship ORM-D items Internationally, or to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Wish we had 20g
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
With wider road and mtb tires now de rigeur, it makes way more sense to have 20g cartridges as standard. 16g gets you home, 20g gives you plenty to blast the beads back on to your tubeless setup should it come unseated in the process.
Real deal
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Looks like just what I needed. Not too big, Im going to take two with me on the trail.
Used several times.
These canisters are affordable, easy to attach to the tire, and work well.
Set a bead on trail.
I don't seem to get flats since I went tubeless, but I do sometimes burp a sidewall. If you set yourself up right you can set the bead again with one of these guys. I also carry a little pump to top off the 29er tires and get back on the trail. This kit is good value, be sure to give some away to friends. Think of it as them carrying your gas...
Quick and Easy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these. Pair them with the genuine innovations head and you are golden. No need to bring any little pumps. At such a reasonable cost, it will make your day far better when you get a flat and need a quick fill.
gets air in the tube, nice that it is threaded, enough said
Threaded is the future
A penny saved, is a penny earned. 5 stars.
it puts air in the tube
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
the quickest way to get air in, boom!
Quick and simple
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got a flat? Fill it back up fast with C02. I like to use a simple inflation head with the cartridge and keep things simple. Don't be caught without your repair needs.
Gets the job done
CO2 cartridges are handy for fixing on trail flats. Fixing a flat takes a fraction of the time than using a hand pump. In a pinch, can also be used to reseat a bead on a tubeless tire.
You need these.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Stock up, couple for your Camelbak, couple for your work bench. Key item to have- bummed when you don't. Don't get caught out there with out one. I use mine with this. Super slick, and doesn't take up much room. http://www.backcountry.com/lezyne-twin-speed-drive-co2
What a perfect little match with the Microflate Nano Inflator (INN0007). Super small, don't really notice it in your pack until you need it- and then you're STOKED that you have them on hand, inflate your tire quickly and painlessly.
Does the trick
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
So I bought this refill to go with the inflator http://www.competitivecyclist.com/innovations-air-chuck-elite-inflator and love the size of both. They fit great into the small saddle bag. If a flat comes I'm ready for it!
A must have
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Buy this:
Innovations Microflate Nano CO2 Inflator
Buy some of these CO2 refills and enjoy. You'll be happy you did, I promise! I've used these more times than I care to count and they always work great.
Always needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I always keep 4-5 tubes and 4-5 cartridges in my home bike shop. These are things you need to keep a stock of.
Be Prepared
Flat's are a bummer, but if you can't avoid them it's best to be prepared with a couple of these in your pack. These 16 gram cartridges are perfect for filling your 26er back up without having to deal with a hand pump. Don't forget an inflator to replace the CO2 with air once you get home.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Werd - work well, just hope we do not have to use them that often, but when you do - makes your riding mates cheerful; as they do not have to wait extended periods of time if you had used a hand pump ;)
Work great.
These work great for a road bike. I mostly use them on a road bike. Gets the pressure up over 100 psi in just a few seconds. Sometimes I'll use them on my mountain bike if I am lazy. I'll put about 10-15 lbs in with a hand pump. Then I'll throw a c02 in to finish it up. If I am really lazy I just use 2 CO2 cartridges.
This is an essential piece to have in your repair kit. Inflates fast so you are back on the trail and not screwing with your hand pump.
it'll keep you rolling
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Nor much to say about a CO2 other than it'll keep you ride going. The 16oz cannister is enough to inflate a road tube, or a 26 or 29" MTB tire. One use per cannister.

A few days a week, Eliot Gordon, bassist-vocalist for Tornado, drives a hybrid cab for an alternatively fueled car service. The 26-year-old musician serves as the guitarist for the Twin Cities' group Mary Allen And The Percolators and, at his South Minneapolis home (affectionately referred to as Disgraceland), he's built a recording studio in the basement. It's here that he and Klaus Dakota, Robbi Grunke, Thomas Jennings, and Mae Devitt are in the process of recording their LP on a MCI 2-inch 24-track analog studio tape recorder. It's a piece of equipment that's larger than an oven and more than four decades old. The album, Luchadores Of Tone, is the debut full-length for the surfy-soul punk rock 'n' roll project Tornado, or, as the group will soon be called, Tonador.
Tornado/Tonador makes a lot of the right decisions. The group's presence on the Internet is small, in some ways only adding to its charm. In the thick of the fly-by-night digital age, the group has opted to keep recording analog, to do things the old way—playing bike parties and shows around town for the last three years—and releasing sparse four-track tapes and a split 7-inch with Mary Allen. The group has a session mix done by Atmosphere guitarist Nate Collis recorded above Matt's Bar and aptly called The Jucy Sessions. On the group's enigmatic website, there's only one song: a dark and sweet, slowed-down ballad named "Goodbye," which effectively shows everything there is to love about Tornado in less than four minutes. Imagined as a soul and funk band at its inception, the group has become something else entirely: a seamless, gritty bridging of grinding organ jams and plucky surf-rock with punk and rock 'n' roll elements. It's all anchored down by the soulful trade-off vocals of Gordon and vocalist-conga player Devitt, filtered and accentuated through analog tape. In anticipation of the group's summer full-length release and March 31 show at the Twin Cities third annual Worst Friends Ever bike event, The A.V. Club talked to Gordon and tried to get a bit more insight into the mystery of Tornado.
The A.V. Club: How did Tornado start?
Eliot Gordon: We've been playing out for about three years. We got the name when a tornado knocked my garage off the slab in South Minneapolis. I had a dream to start a funk band and do some slower soul songs, like Stax stuff, but we weren't really good at it. We're all a little too white. So we started in an attempt to be a funky/soul group and just evolved into this mashup of everything we like.
Me and Klaus had been playing together for 10 years, or something. We had this other band, Dangerboy. And I lived with Robbi for a long time, so we would play music together. Tom was there, and we were like, "Fuck it, let's start a band." I had some intentions for it, like the funk and soul thing, and that didn't work out, but I like what it turned into.
AVC: How is Luchadores Of Tone coming? Is it hard to make time if you're all in other bands?
EG: Yeah, we're all in other bands, besides Klaus. We have a few different things. It's not a side project in any way, though. It's usually my most active band. We practice at least once a week, if not more than that. Luchadores Of Tone is a full-length. I just got this huge recording machine and a mixer to match. We got 10 tracks laid down. A few of those will probably get cut so that it fits on a record. It will only be released on vinyl with an MP3 download.
AVC: Where are you gonna press it?
EG: There's a company called United Record Pressing in [Tennessee] that I've always used before.
AVC: When will the record come out then?
EG: I wanna get it out by mid-June. All the main tracks are laid down; we've just got to get the guitar solos and vocals. We recorded the drums, bass, guitar, and organ all live at the same time.
AVC: How important is the equipment you're using to the overall sound? Like the Kimball organ, for example?
EG: I mean, we could all play on crappy Yamahas, and it would be fine—but I do think it helps the sound. I love my bass, but I would play a different one if it broke or something. If we could get a nice, new keyboard that's good, we'd use it because it would be way easier to play and move and stuff. But a keyboard that can do what the Kimball does is like $1,500 dollars, and we're not wealthy, none of us.
AVC: What did you do to outfit Disgraceland to be a recording studio?
EG: There is a boiler room, which is the main room, which has all the recording equipment in it. I just smashed a hole in the wall and made some windows and shoved a PVC pipe through there and put a socket in. It's got pretty thick plaster ceilings, and we put pillows in the windows when we play. We had to soundproof the laundry shoot, because it was just blaring the music through the whole house. You can still hear it in the radiators; it's just quiet.
AVC: Why the name change?
EG: I don't know, TONADOR! It just sounds cooler. Also there's a lot of bands that are Tornado, like The Tornados and this metal band from Europe called Tornado. And when you Google search the word, it's just actual tornados.
AVC: Was it an intentional move to cultivate this old sound? Or did it just organically happen out of what you all like?
EG: I think it's just what we listen to, so it's what we're always thinking about. I can't sit down and play a new metal song. This music's just what comes out now, no matter how hard I try to make it different.
AVC: Has everyone been playing music for a while?
EG: We've all known each other for a long time. Me and Tom and Robbie and Mae have been in the Black Label Bike Club for years now. So we've been biking together for a while. We build bikes, and we do runs and campsite parties. We ride and party on the bike club's birthday and stuff. We're having our 20th anniversary this year.
AVC: Can anybody be a member of BLBC?
EG: We take it pretty seriously. If we are hanging out with someone for a while and we like them, we ask them if they want to be a part of the club. We give them prospect colors, which is just the patch sown on the vest, and then they're—to varying degrees—subjected to whatever a member tells them to do, and then after a while they're given their real colors. We usually try to do it at an event like May Day or the club's birthday.
AVC: What about the show on March 31? The third annual Worst Friends Ever?
EG: We're playing a block party, but we aren't really allowed to publicize where it will be yet. We can say it's a block party, and it'll be in South Minneapolis. There is an Alleycat race before the party, set for 2 p.m. It starts at The Grease Pit bike shop on East 28th Street and Bloomington Avenue. The block party is from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. We are allowed to have three hours of music, so the music will probably start at 7. There will probably be bike events like jousting, footdown, bumper bikes, and relay races going on during the music.

O'Reilly accused Kennedy of lying by distorting his speech, citing bogus stats
FOX News host Bill O'Reilly falsely accused Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) of advocating "abortion of any kind on demand" in his recent speech at the National Press Club and of lying about President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. The truth is that Kennedy's speech advocated no specific changes to current abortion law, and his statements about the Social Security plan Bush is expected to propose were accurate.
On the January 13 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly claimed in his "Talking Points Memo [1]" that Kennedy's "vision for America" included "abortion of any kind on demand." Here's what Kennedy actually said about abortion in his January 12 speech [2]:
If we are serious about reducing the number of abortions, we must be serious about reducing unwanted pregnancy. We must accept policies with a proven track record of reducing abortion. History teaches that abortions do not stop because they are made illegal. Indeed, half of all abortions in the world are performed in places where abortions are illegal.
We do know, however, that the number of abortions is reduced when women and parents have education and economic opportunity. Our progressive vision is of an America where parents have the opportunity and the resources, including good prenatal care, to bring healthy children into the world.
Moreover, in 1999 Kennedy voted for [3] a version of a ban on later-term abortions that included an exception for the life and health of the woman. The Republican-led Senate rejected that bill (S.Amdt. 2319 to S. 1692 [4]) in favor of a ban that did not include these exceptions.
On his radio show earlier that day, O'Reilly went further, suggesting that Kennedy and other progressives would approve of a case, featured the previous evening on The O'Reilly Factor, in which a 16-year-old boy in Michigan induced a miscarriage [5] in his pregnant girlfriend by repeatedly hitting her abdomen with a miniature baseball bat. O'Reilly declared that Kennedy would be indifferent towards such a case:
From the January 13 edition of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: You know, we had a story last night on The Factor, where at 16-year-old kid in Michigan took a baseball bat to his pregnant girlfriend's stomach -- and killed the fetus who was six months developed. And, the lawyer came on and said, "Well, why are we prosecuting this? There's no crime." You know? And that's -- Ted Kennedy believes that -- why bother with that? So, you wanna take a baseball bat and kill a fetus -- six months, go ahead. Now, the kid's been charged with a felony. The girlfriend hasn't -- even though the girlfriend said, "Fine, go ahead and do it."
O'Reilly failed to mention that the teen boy's lawyer, Miranda Massie, explained the previous evening that his client had resorted to this desperate measure "only after getting false medical information from official crisis hotlines and only after making other very desperate attempts to end this unwanted pregnancy."
Later in the "Talking Points Memo," O'Reilly accused Kennedy of lying about Bush's Social Security plan. He played a clip of Kennedy claiming that "President Bush is talking not just about a cut, but an incredible 33 percent cut" in Social Security benefits. O'Reilly made a show of refuting Kennedy by citing statistics from the Social Security administration indicating that "unless changes are made" to Social Security's finances, benefits will have to be cut. O'Reilly was apparently suggesting that large cuts are not Bush's fault, but rather an inevitable result of the system's finances. Of course, the fact that that the system faces a long-term shortfall doesn't change the fact that Bush's plan involves deep cuts in benefits. In addition, O'Reilly misleadingly implied that the only options are enacting Bush's plan (which involves benefit cuts) or doing nothing (which will involve benefit cuts, albeit farther into the future than in Bush's plan). In fact, other options exist that don't involve steep benefit cuts.
From the January 13 O'Reilly Factor:
Does the president really want to cut Social Security checks by a third? Hide the grannies. That's frightening -- if it were true. ... "Talking Points" dialed up the government's Social Security website, www.ssa.gov/qa.htm [6], whatever that means, and on the site it says this: "Unless changes are made, in the year 2042, benefits could be reduced by 27 percent and could continue to be reduced every year thereafter."
The site goes on to say, by the year 2079, benefits could be reduced by 33 percent. Uh, paging Senator Kennedy. That's a long way from Bush cutting Social Security by a third, is it not, Senator?
But Bush's expected plan cuts guaranteed benefits deeper than what the trust fund could pay if no changes were made to its financing. While Bush has not laid out a specific plan, the principles he and members of his administration have signaled -- in particular, indexing guaranteed benefits to prices rather than wages -- entail a 26 percent benefit cut relative to current law in 2042 and a 33 percent cut by 2052, as The Washington Post reported [7].
O'Reilly said of Kennedy's speech: "[T]his kind of misleading rhetoric hurts the progressive cause. ... The truth is that Social Security will have to change and everybody knows it." But of course, Kennedy did not propose doing nothing to shore up Social Security's financing. Other possibilities include a combination of modest tax increases combined with modest benefit cuts (see, for example, the Diamond-Orszag plan [8]), adjustments to the income cap on eligible taxable income, increases in the retirement age, reductions in benefits paid to early retirees, or simple financing of the program using general revenue. Finally, O'Reilly ridiculed Kennedy's representatives, who, he claimed, "pointed to a newspaper article" to support his claim:
O'REILLY: Now, we called Kennedy's office today. He'd never face me because he knows I know what he's up to. His people pointed to a newspaper article to back up his claim against Bush. Nonsense!
But since Bush has yet to present a detailed proposal, no official estimates exist of such a proposal's impact on benefits. The Post and other papers have estimated the impact of indexing the initial benefits formula to price growth, rather than wage growth, which Bush administration officials have suggested will likely be part of the plan, as the Post explained [7].

Hales bag swimming gala second
11:37am Thursday 19th June 2014
11:37am Thursday 19th June 2014
HALESOWEN swimmers travelled to Cheslyn Hay for the second round of the Mercian Summer League on Saturday, June 14.
The swimmers faced tough opposition and after the opening relays the team found themselves in a battling third place.
However, a series of strong individual performance saw Halesowen draw steadily into a solid second spot and by the end of the gala were comfortable runners-up overall.
Double event winners were George Davies in the backstroke and butterfly and Daniel Hill in the individual medley and butterfly. Other individual event winners were Ruby Fell, Kitty Luscombe and Ryan Spoor in the breaststroke, Dermot Cameron in the butterfly and Max Rollason on the freestyle.
Hales finished with a total score of 197 with winners Stratford Sharks on 251.

Buyers of homes in new developments are getting a head start on other Australian residents with access to the national broadband network.
Overall, the federal opposition says progress on Labor's NBN "white elephant" has been slow, with only 30,000 people signed up so far.
But far from being the costly extravagance the Liberals and other critics have suggested, national network promoters say that if Australia follows an emerging US trend, home buyers will soon make high-speed broadband access a prime factor when choosing where to live.
The aim is to have the network go past 286,000 homes by June, with access possible at every Australian home by 2021.
But home owners in new developments go straight to the front of the queue. The network is already available in 314 new apartment or housing estates around the country.
As fibre optic cable will replace the copper network, it made no sense to install copper in new estates.
An NBN spokesman, Jonathon Grahame, says demand from developers for "fibre" in new projects is very strong.
Nationally, the company has 2497 signed applications to deliver the service to 116,308 premises. And the network is already going past 22,000 lots in new developments.
One of the apartment blocks benefiting from the network is Divercity in the inner-Sydney suburb of Waterloo.
Most of the 153 residents who have moved into the Becton project have signed up for the highest possible 100Mbps plans, while residents in neighbouring streets are more than a year away from getting access to the service.
When Andrew Brown, 26, discovered a cupboard full of wires and equipment while inspecting an apartment in Divercity, he knew he'd found his new home. "I already liked the apartment so when I found it was connected to the NBN it was, 'OK, cool. Let's go with this'."
For Mr Brown, a self-employed graphics and web designer who works from home, internet speed is more a necessity than a luxury. "We get about five times the speed we were getting at our old apartment at Elizabeth Bay," he said.
It is also cheaper than using the traditional copper internet lines. "It was about $80 a month in Elizabeth Bay but here we're paying about $60 [a month]."
At Waterloo, Mr Brown, who lives with his partner, Andy, 24, is suddenly very popular.
"Friends are coming over to our home and having a go of our new toy. It's making them consider moving from the eastern suburbs to Waterloo," he said.
For those who are not in a new apartment block or housing estate, the wait will be longer. Householders and businesses can check the network's progress on the NBN Co website and typing in their address.
