DETROIT - The Detroit Fire Department and Michigan State Police briefly closed Interstate 375 Monday in both directions because of wires that fell across the freeway at Larned Street.
The freeway reopened Monday afternoon after the wires were removed.
Lt. Michael Shaw of the Michigan State Police said the wires fell from the overpass. The cause of the wires falling is unknown at this time, though it does not appear to have been caused by an accident.
The fire department said drivers called 911 to alert authorities about the wires being down.
No injuries were reported.

Milwaukee's Best Burger
Sobelman's- Two Locations
Nov. 15, 2009
We're not sure which Sobelman's our readers like best. For years many have gone to the original, a corner bar that became a destination point on the strength of its burgers. This summer the owner opened Sobelman's Tallgrass Grill, serving even better burgers. The difference? The meat comes from cows fed the natural way, on grass. It's a bit more expensive, but customers get more for their money. Burgers from grass-fed cows are meatier and bigger because they contain less fat and shrink less.

While I love Maker Culture, I generally self-identify more as a kind of 1950s "Popular Mechanics" old-school hobbyist. You know the kind: lathe and mini-mill in the basement, welder in the garage, and random woodworking and electrical equipment scattered all over the house. So I have been struggling for the last few years with whether or not to invest in a 3D printer. They have always seemed pretty pricy, and I was never sure how much use I would get out of one. On the other hand, there is no question of the raw cool involved in being able to print off plastic widgets with ease, and perhaps even get involved in a little lost-PLA casting. When we started carrying the Printrbot Jr. I finally broke down.
Sure, the build-volume of 4"x 4"x 4" doesn't stack up to something like the RepRap Mendel, but the cost was low enough that I could justify it to myself, and if I do find the need for something larger, it has the ability to print out nearly all the parts I would need to upgrade.
I got the unassembled version, because, as far as I am concerned putting it together is part of the fun. To my initial surprise, it does not come with any instructions in the box, but the Printrbot website has far better instructions online than you could ever expect to come printed, plus a full build-video, so putting it together was a snap. In all it took me about three-hours at a "Slow and comfortable" pace, so I probably could have done it in half that if I really put my mind to it.
After a weekend of tinkering, it already has a new (printed) extruder-gear set, and a glass print-bed upgrade (Details will be forthcoming) I have made a GoPro camera mount to send a camera up a kite-string for low-cost/high-altitude photography, and I have generally been falling behind on my other hobbies. A total win so far. I'll keep people updated.

Generally speaking, Frye said, you're not obligated to pay the bills a decendant leaves behind. But you won't be able to inherit any part of the estate until creditors are made whole.
The estate's assets are inventoried under probate, liquidated as necessary and used to pay off any tax liabilities, secured debt (mortgages and car loans) and unsecured debt (credit cards and personal loans). Whatever property remains is then distributed as the will directs.
If assets are insufficient to cover liabilities, the lender typically takes the loss.

Two Japanese airports were among the world's most punctual in 2015, while the nation's two primary air carriers were ranked among the top five airlines, OAG Aviation Worldwide Ltd. says in its annual Punctuality League report.
The report, released Wednesday by U.K.-based aviation intelligence company, said Tokyo's Haneda airport was the most punctual, with 91.25 percent of flights arriving or departing on time. That was enough to take it past Germany's Munich Airport, winner of the 2014 survey.
For a flight to be considered on time, it must arrive or take off no later than 15 minutes from its originally scheduled time, according to OAG.
The punctuality list for small airports meanwhile saw Itami airport in Osaka top the rankings with a 93.85 percent on-time performance record, with Copenhagen Airport leading all mid-size airports.
In the airline category, Japan Airlines Co., with a score of 90.44 percent, and All Nippon Airways Co., with a score of 89.65 percent, surged to take fourth and fifth places, respectively, in the punctuality rankings behind Latvia's airBaltic, which was the top performing airline with 94.39 percent.
In 2014, JAL was ranked ninth and ANA 15th.
OAG said the scores were based on over 50 million flights in 2015.
The report said airports and airlines both improved overall compared with the previous year thanks to increased spending on technology and greater efforts to improve.

House Tour: Modern Flair with a Soft Touch, Part II
Baroness Monica von Neumann needed a modern "chick pad" to express her nobility and personal warmth. With modern style and old-style comfort, Monica created a romantic home that is simultaneously stylish and cozy. This is Part II of a House Tour–to see the rest of Monica's home, be sure to check out Part I.
For Monica, these one-of-a-kind features are just some of the things that make her home such a romantic setting. One of her favorite rooms is the kitchen. Here, friends and family pile up onto the Zen bed, which is loaded with large chocolate-colored chenille pillows, and visit with Monica as she cooks—a common scene in her home.
"I love food, and I love to cook," she says. "Right now, it's soup season for me: it's Italian meatball soup, chicken soup, lima bean soup. I love to get the smell wafting through the house, especially in the winter; it makes me feel all warm."
It is the simple things like this that give Monica's home a warm, welcoming and personal atmosphere. Although her home is modern in design, Monica proves that contemporary does not have to be cold and uncomfortable.
"The problem with contemporary homes is that everything is so uncomfortable and trendy," she says. "I don't think you have to be cold and trendy when you do contemporary. No matter what, comfort is important."
Monica achieves this sense of comfort and romantic simplicity through simple accessories. Vignettes of candles with fresh flowers or exotic orchids are placed in corners and on tabletops throughout her three-bedroom home. Couches are softened up with fluffy and vibrant purple pillows. Simple area rugs add mellow earth tones to the dark hardwood floors, while framed photos of family and friends add a personal element. She also balances the modern style of her home with classic paintings—including Picasso, Matisse and Renoir—which also reflect her passion for art and travel.
Whether it's a classic painting, a scented candle or a photograph of her daughter, Monica finds comfort in the personal details she has sprinkled throughout her home. "They lend to the romance, warmth and feeling of bliss I feel when I come home from a long day," she says. "Love is in the details, and that's what I create in my home."

Like clockwork, as soon as Rick Perry joined the GOP presidential field, the liberal media started slashing at the Texas Governor, impugning him as a "name-calling," "human tornado," "anti-science" racist —just "Bull Connor with a smile," according to MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Plus, Perry's best-in-the-nation record on job creation is really a myth — not a "Texas miracle" but a "Texas tragedy," according to CBS News.
As for Barack Obama, CNN shows they play no favorites, holding the President's feet to the fire in a grueling interview: "The last time you were elected, you got Sasha and Malia a cute little puppy, Bo. What are you going to get them the next time, if you're re-elected?" These quotes, plus many more, in the latest edition of MRC's Notable Quotables (best quotes after the jump; full issue posted here at MRC.org).
Media Slash at Rick Perry, the "Human Tornado"
"On the broadcast tonight, fighting words. Rick Perry comes out swinging and talking, and the White House tells him to watch what he says....The rest of the country is learning what Texans already know about their Governor, what he says, what he does, how he does business....Today's debate had to do with money, name-calling, and whether or not the President of the United States loves his country."
— NBC's Brian Williams opening the August 16 Nightly News.
Anchor Diane Sawyer: "The human tornado from Texas, Governor Rick Perry, who electrified the Republican race, raised the decibel level today against the President, challenging to a kind of political duel on ways to jump-start jobs, fast...."
Correspondent Jake Tapper: "Democrats say that until Perry came along, they never thought they'd meet a candidate who made the other Republican candidates look responsible."
— ABC World News, August 16.
"Unmistakably Texan, unabashedly conservative, Governor Rick Perry does not care about the overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is largely produced by humans burning fossil fuels."
— ABC's Jim Avila on Good Morning America, August 18. [Watch the video on MRC-TV]
Perry's "Texas Miracle" Really a "Texas Tragedy"
Correspondent Wyatt Andrews: "It's his most important accomplishment, and one Texas-sized claim."
Clip of Rick Perry: "Texas continues to lead the nation in job creation."
Andrews: "Some call this the Texas miracle....But Perry also got lucky when high oil prices boosted energy-related jobs....Perry's bedrock pledge to never raise taxes also had a reckoning this year when his budget faced a $27 billion shortfall. With taxes not an option, the state cut deeply into health care, and so deeply into education, some 49,000 teachers are being laid off. [to teacher Rachel Zertuche] Do you see a Texas miracle?"
Rachel Zertuche: "No. I see a Texas tragedy."
— August 12 CBS Evening News.
Is Rick Perry Just "Bull Connor With a Smile?"
"I know you're an objective reporter, but I smell birtherism about this guy. His attack on Obama isn't just policy. It's about the nature of the person who's President....This could be Bull Connor with a smile."
— Host Chris Matthews to Dallas Morning News senior political writer Wayne Slater, MSNBC's Hardball, August 16.
"Do you think Rick Perry would be for that? Do you think he'd be cheering for Ike today if he brought the troops in to desegregate the schools in Little Rock? I don't think so!...He talks about secession. He talks about states' rights. He's got all the idiom of the guys who hate civil rights....I compared him to Bull Connor with a smile yesterday. Maybe that was too far, but I'm still learning about this guy."
— Matthews on the August 17 Hardball.
Smearing "Radical" Tea Party and "Queen of Rage" Bachmann
"In Iowa, where she was raised, [Representative Michele] Bachmann has become the living embodiment of the Tea Party. She and her allies have been called a maniacal gang of knife-wielding ideologues. That's hyperbole, of course. But the principled rigidity of her position has created some challenges for her campaign....Far more damaging than the charge of double standards may be the growing realization among Americans of just how radical the Tea Party movement really is....For now, Bachmann revels in the Iowa crowds, which don't fuss about the missing fine print behind her ideas, the perceived contradictions among them, or their radicalism."
— Newsweek's Lois Romano in the magazine's August 15 cover story on Bachmann headlined "The Queen of Rage."
ABC Already Spending New Taxes from "Mega Rich"
Anchor Diane Sawyer: "Is it time for the mega-rich to pay at least the same tax rate as their secretaries? And if they did pay their fair share, would it fix America's schools or roads?..."
Correspondent Bianna Golodryga: "An additional one percent tax on the richest Americans is estimated to raise $100 billion in extra revenue during the next decade....And while experts agree that $100 billion over the next decade wouldn't be enough to even make a dent in the deficit, it would go far in other ways. For example, it's enough to build almost 7,000 new elementary schools or more than 2,000 new high schools, Diane."
— ABC's World News, August 15.
CNN Anchors' Tag Team Advocacy on Tax Hikes
Co-host Ali Velshi: "Senator, we haven't seen a tax increase in a long time. In fact, we got an extension of the Bush-era tax cut."
Co-host Christine Romans: "We've been cutting taxes for 10 years."
Velshi: "And we haven't seen the job creation. So, where is the evidence that not cutting taxes creates jobs? We haven't seen it."
— Grilling Republican Senator Pat Toomey on CNN's American Morning, August 11. [Watch the video on MRC-TV]
Only "Far Right" Blames Obama for Nation's Woes
Host Al Hunt: "What kind of shape is Barack Obama in for the 2012 campaign in Iowa?"
Former NBC News President Michael Gartner: "I think he's in pretty good shape. First of all, people out here have an attachment to him because he was out here. I think people have a fondness for him and I don't think people blame him for anything that's wrong in this country, unless — I think the far-right of the Republican Party does, but I don't think the moderates do, and certainly the Democrats don't."
— An exchange on Bloomberg's Political Capital, August 12.
Undoubtedly the Question 14 Million Unemployed People Want Answered
"The last time you were elected, you got Sasha and Malia a cute little puppy, Bo. What are you going to get them the next time, if you're re-elected?"
— CNN's Wolf Blitzer to President Obama in an interview shown on The Situation Room, August 16.

Arthritis of the knee is incredibly painful and liquid injections have long been thought to help the condition. A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, finds that the benefits of these injections are actually minimal, if they help at all.
Fox News reports that those with knee arthritis often receive injections of hyaluronic acid, a lubricating substance, a naturally occurring substance in our joints that acts as a shock absorber and lubricant. People who have osteoarthritis, which is the most common "wear and tear" type of the disease, appear to have lower levels.
The therapy, known as viscosupplementation, has been approved in the U.S. since 1997 for knee arthritis only, and has been approved in Europe for longer and for more kinds of arthritis. For the study, Reuters reports that the scientists looked at 89 past clinical trials, finding that overall viscosupplementation did seem to help relieve pain when compared to "sham" injections of no treatment at all.
When they focused on 18 larger trials, however, which included at least 200 patients, where were only "clinically irrelevant" effects, according to the researchers. Dr. Peter Juni from the University of Bern in Switzerland, who worked on the study, stated:
"We don't have evidence that viscosupplementation works, but it is associated with an increased risk of adverse events."
Reuters reports that on top of that, the injections can also carry side effects, such as swelling and inflammation in the joint soon after treatment, which essentially defeats the purpose, according to Fox News. Therefore, Juni told Reuters that he and his colleagues recommend that the injections should be discouraged for those with knee arthritis.

The International Association of Structural Movers has advised homeowners to scrutinize their options before hiring a house mover, as the Hurricane Sandy recovery is expected to attract many disreputable firms.
Gene Brymer, the trade organization's staff executive, said New Jersey residents must take heed from the lessons learned in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. A shortage of house movers there resulted in many residents going with undocumented companies.
"A whole bunch of movers in Louisiana were prosecuted because they were cutting costs on what they were doing and lying to the homeowners," he said.
The first thing any homeowner should do is consult with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to decide what they will be required to do and what resources are available to them. They should also consult municipal building code officials to determine what the local requirements are.
Brymer said waiting until the final flood maps are released, if that's possible, could help homeowners avoid raising homes too high or too low.
"You need to know what the government program is, instead of taking the contractor's word for it," he said.
When choosing a house mover, Brymer said, homeowners should find out whether the company is licensed and bonded.
"I don't just mean ask the guy," he said. "Ask for a copy, a print of the face of the (insurance) policy to see if it's in effect. He may have had it eight years ago, but it may not be in effect now."
Brymer said homeowners should also ask for references. Any reputable contractor should have a few satisfied customers who will vouch for them.
The association also provides a list of its 385 members on its website, www.iasm.org.
"I'd make certain this person I'm doing business with isn't a fly-by-nighter," he said. "I want to know they'll be here 10 years from now when all this mess is cleaned up."

About the Book
I created this book for Beth, my wife and Emily's Mom. I was looking for a way to say thanks to her for being the best Mom ever as she prepares to go back to work after 6 months.
It is a blend of pictures I have taken over the last 6 months and my quirky humor. Hopefully she will enjoy it and use it to show off Emily to the people at work.
The rhymes are all based on things and circumstances that have happened recently, and some may be difficult for outsiders to understand. She will definitely get them all.

A HEAVILY pregnant Sanctuary Point woman was airlifted to a Sydney hospital with serious head injuries after a motor vehicle accident at Tomerong on Wednesday afternoon.
The 20-year-old woman was the backseat passenger in a green Subaru Forester that was travelling south on the Princes Highway around 5.30pm when the accident happened.
Police said the Subaru, driven by a 30-year-old Mollymook woman, collided heavily with the passenger side of a blue Mazda sedan, driven by a 25-year-old Sanctuary Point man, travelling north on the highway. He had attempted to make a right hand turn in front of the oncoming traffic into Island Point Road.
As a result of the impact the two vehicles collided with a third car, a white Holden Commodore sedan that was stopped on Island Point Road waiting to turn onto the highway.
The pregnant woman was trapped in the wreckage before being released by Ambulance NSW paramedics.
She was transported to Shoalhaven Hospital by ambulance with a fractured skull and was later airlifted by the Ambulance Rescue helicopter to St George Hospital.
Police said the woman's condition was listed as stable and everything appeared fine with the baby.
The driver of the Mazda, who suffered a fractured left hand, was also taken to Shoalhaven Hospital, while a passenger in the vehicle suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the Subaru and the 51-year-old male driver of the Commodore were uninjured.
Police investigations are continuing into the accident and appeal for any witnesses to contact Huskisson Police on 4441 5779 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The Verizon IndyCar Series championship is on the line this weekend at Auto Club Speedway with Will Power, Helio Castroneves, and Simon Pagenaud in contention. Castroneves closed Will Power's points lead from 51 to 50 after winning the Verizon P1 Award on Friday.
He was the final driver of 22 to take to the 2-mile oval and clocked a two-lap average speed of 218.540 mph in his No. 3 AAA Southern California Team Penske car. It is the 42nd career pole for the Brazilian and his third of the 2014 season.
"It ain't over; it's just beginning," said Castroneves. "Our job is to be aggressive over the 500 miles and finish where we started."
Saturday night's MAVTV 500 is the third leg of the Triple Crown series and pays double points which keeps Castroneves very much alive for first career championship. He has finished second four times including the past two years.
Will Power, Castroneves' Team Penske teammate, is looking for his first championship as well but he qualified a season's worst 21st with a two-lap average of 212.604 mph.
"With the starting position, I'd rather start at the very front or the very back to stay out of trouble early on," Power said. "It's obviously all about the race; it's very long and we'll be racing in different conditions."
Power won his first career oval track race last season at Auto Club Speedway.
Simon Pagenaud qualified 13th for Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports and he has an outside shot at his first career championship as well if both Power and Castroneves stumble in the 250 lap race.

As surprising as it may seem, there are millions of American consumers who either have no relationship with a bank or only have a savings-account relationship, with no access to a checking or debit account. But a shopper without a bank account or credit card could be among a retailer's most loyal customers.
The United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) has estimated the number of unbanked consumers to be approximately 28 million people. What is not surprising is that these same consumers have all the purchasing requirements of the fully banked consumers—and they likely have the cash in their pockets to complete a transaction.
Although conducting business the old-fashioned way, with paper currency and coins rather than plastic cards and electronic transfers, is not necessarily a negative for the merchant, it can pose hurdles for the consumer.
For instance, a survey by Opinion Research Corp. conducted in May concluded that debit- or credit-card payments were both more convenient and easier than cash. (See the news item on page 168 about consumer payment preferences for quick-pay debit or credit cards in quick-serve restaurants.)
Retailers and issuers of credit cards are stepping up to the plate to make sure that unbanked consumers have the same opportunities to use plastic that the majority of Americans enjoy. Prepaid payment cards are the hottest tickets in town, and reloadable services are enhancing the rave reviews.
Earlier this summer, Wal-Mart partnered with Visa and launched a branded prepaid, reloadable debit card targeted specifically to its customers without bank accounts (
Last month, MasterCard announced an agreement with Los Angeles-based Green Dot Corp. to expand the ability of consumers to reload the branded rePower MasterCard through the Green Dot network of more than 40,000 retail locations nationwide, including Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and RadioShack.
Green Dot, which has similar agreements with Visa and Discover, also offers a cash-processing service, MoneyPak, that allows consumers to load cash to prepaid cards, use cash to pay bills and add cash to a variety of accounts.
At retailers such as St. Louis-based Save-A-Lot, a large percentage of customers do not use conventional banking methods. A spokesperson for the value-oriented, deep-discount grocer told Chain Store Age that the share of its customers who do not have a conventional banking relationship is higher than the U.S. average and the retailer feels a need to meet the needs of this customer.
Save-A-Lot partnered with Atlanta-based CheckFree Corp. to offer its shoppers a walk-in bill-payment service as a way to serve the unbanked population as well as to increase traffic in its more than 1,150 stores.
The service, CheckFreePay, provides a secure, electronic transaction from the store's customer-service center to billing companies such as MasterCard, Visa, utilities and cellular-phone providers.
Although customer-service centers were not originally part of the Save-A-Lot format, the company spokesperson said, "to meet the changing needs of our customers, we are retrofitting two stores per week with Service Centers. We explored putting the money services inline at the front end point of sale, but it just isn't feasible to expect other customers to wait to check out while someone is paying bills."
In addition to the CheckFreePay service, Save-A-Lot also provides check-cashing, wire-transfer and money-order services. Most grocery stores, convenience stores and mass merchandisers offer comparable money services, so walk-in bill-payment services and reloadable prepaid cards are natural extensions to the product mix.
Steve LaBella, CheckFree's VP, agent business unit executive, noted that 60% to 65% of its retail customers indicated they had experienced increased sales as a result of adding the bill-payment service. Although the service itself typically carries a nominal flat fee, ranging from 25¢ on the low end to a high of $2.50 per transaction, the revenues generated from the service itself are not significant. However, providing the service attracts consumers who appreciate the convenience of one-stop shopping/services and who make other purchases while in the store to transact their personal business.
Retailers have two options for deploying the CheckFreePay service. Like Save-A-Lot, they can install a small PC terminal, which is provided by CheckFree at no cost to the retailer, in their customer-service center. Or, the service is available as a Web-based application that can be implemented at a POS register or any Internet-enabled location in the store.

HSU students continue protests against administration
ARCATA - Students, faculty, and staff gathered at the Humboldt State University quad Monday for yet another protest on campus.
The protest is a continuation of student's, and some faculty's, cry for change after the termination of Dr. Jacquelyn Bolman, the former leader of the University's "INRSEP" program (Indian Natural Resource and Engineering Program).
The school's president, Dr. Lisa Rossbacher, answered questions from the protestors over a loud speaker.
Students want the administration to listen to their concerns about diminishing minority programs at the school and reinstate Dr. Bolman.
"I hope that the university administration will embrace the passion and the understanding of this community and these students. That they will allow shared governance of this institution between faculty and students. That they continue to persist and exist in some of the strongest Indian country in all of California. And that they take that opportunity that many universities wish that they had gifted and that is truly self-determined and sovereign Tribal communities wanting to be greater involved in the university to ensure access and equity for all students," Dr. Jacquelyn Bolman said.
Students will speak to the University Senate tomorrow at 3 p.m. in the Goodwin Forum. The administration is expected to give its official response to the situation at that time.

Senate bombshell: Cory Gardner says "I can't support personhood now"
Source: Denver Post
Congressman Cory Gardner, who has been hammered for his position on social issues ever since he jumped into the U.S. Senate race, dropped a political bombshell Friday with his revelation that he was wrong to have supported previous personhood efforts.
He said after learning more about the measures, which would have had the impact of outlawing abortion, that he realized the proposals also could ban certain forms of contraception, a prohibition he does not support.
"This was a bad idea driven by good intentions," he told The Denver Post. "I was not right. I can't support personhood now. I can't support personhood going forward. To do it again would be a mistake."
...Udall's campaign spokesman, Chris Harris, pointed out that Gardner the last two years co-sponsored the Life Begins at Conception Act, which defines a human being as "a member of the species homo sapiens" at the moment of fertilization. He said it was basically a federal version of the personhood amendment, a position with which Gardner's campaign disagrees.
"Coloradans will see through this cheap election-year stunt," Harris said. "Gardner is showing a profound lack of respect for Colorado voters. Coloradans want a senator who always promotes and protects women's health, not one who simply pretends to during election years."

Read more: Friday "Bombshell"--Gardner Flips on Personhood Abortion Ban
Cory Gardner claims that he started rethinking his support for the Personhood abortion ban "after voters rejected it by 3-to1 margin in 2010." As reported by Lynn Bartels, that appears very hard to believe, in light of the fact that Gardner signed on as a co-sponsor on July 23rd of last year to H.R. 1091: the federal Life at Conception Act. Like Colorado's Personhood abortion bans, this bill would extend "the right to life" to "every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization."

16. Is his mouth moving?
He's back pedaling. He knows he can't get elected unless he denies that -- personhood fails in Colorado by a 3-1 margin that just keeps getting bigger with every poll.
Gardner is subject to The Doctor's first rule.
(Fortunately, Mark Udall is willing to twist this particular knife that Gardner stuck in his own ribs.)

Since those are the only two kinds of entities whose personhood anyone seems to give a damn about these days.

sadly, he is only slightly less nuts than the previous "front-runner" one ken buck.
. . .
But the left noted that Gardner sponsored legislation in both the Colorado legislature and in Congress to outlaw abortion, and in 2010 he circulated petitions in Colorado for the "personhood" amendment that critics contend would have outlawed some forms of birth control.

27. you are not missing anything-- here is a short review of doug "tar baby" lamborn:
. . . .
Lamborn is a signer of Americans for Tax Reforms Taxpayer Protection Pledge.[20]
"Tar Baby" Remark
On July 29, 2011, Lamborn appeared on a Denver radio program to discuss the debt crisis and the failure of Democrats and Republicans to reach a compromise on the problem. Lamborn stated "Now, I don't even want to have to be associated with [President Obama]. It's like touching a tar baby and you get it, you're stuck, and you're a part of the problem now and you can't get away."[21] The term tar baby is a known racial slur used towards African-Americans. Former Colorado House Speaker Terrance Carroll, himself an African-American, replied "Looking beyond the fact that Congressman Lamborns entire comment is nonsensical, his use of the term tar baby is unfortunate because [of] the historical connotation of that term when used in conjunction with African Americans."[22]
On August 1, 2011, Lamborn apologized for his use of the slur, explaining ""When I said 'tar baby', I was talking economic quagmire that our country is finding ourselves in because of poor economic policy from the White House. I could have used a better term."[23]
Refusal to attend 2012 State of the Union Address
On January 23, 2012, Lamborn announced he would not be attending the President's State of the Union address. According to his spokeswoman Catherine Mortenson, "Congressman Lamborn is doing this to send a clear message that he does not support the policies of Barack Obama, that they have hurt our country," and he believed Obama was in full campaign mode and will use the address as an opportunity to bash his political opponents."[24]
Leak of classified national security information
On April 11, 2013, Lamborn read out in an open session broadcast on C-SPAN what he thought to be an unclassified section from a classified report on North Korean nuclear capabilities. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs refused to confirm the classified report.[25]
Role in 2013 government shutdown
Doug Lamborn is one of the 80 members of the House that signed a letter to the speaker of the house, urging the threat of a government shutdown to defund Obamacare. This group was named the "Suicide Caucus". [26] He voted against the measure that finally ended the shutdown on October 16, 2013 [27]

14. The second extrememly important issue that should come from this is legislators shouldn't sponsor
bills they know very little about and when they do should never be re-elected. Even more so if you're sponsoring bills that are relying on science as a basis for the claims.
Not only has Gardner revealed himself to be a rights-when-convenient type, he is fundamentally a bad legislator who isn't concerned for the truth, science, or the process of writing laws.

Anyone who's ever tried to tour D.C. in a few days (or otherwise enjoy the city) can understand that the hustle and bustle can be tiring. The monuments in particular are always overflowing with people, and there really isn't an isolated moment to be had. The historic monuments in D.C. are extraordinary, but we have seen them too oft in movies, television shows, or as pop culture references-- we can sometimes take their beauty for granted as we are ritually saturated with images from our nation's capital. It just so happens that I had an opportunity to embark on a night tour of the city's monuments, and it totally altered the way I interact with D.C.
You probably know that feeling when you go out at night in your residential area and forget for a moment where you are; the difference between the appearance between night and day is eerie. I've known several people who can navigate perfectly fine during the day, but as soon as it gets dark they lose all sense of direction. I think that difference in lighting can actively create a divergence in the way we perceive and interact with the world around us: it changes dimension, proportion, and ambience. Washington D.C. constantly works to enhance and preserve the magnitude and prominence of its architecture, as well as to facilitate its appearance to make it as remarkable and accessible to the public as possible. The architects and lighting designers wanted to present the same visibility at night, and they accomplished such: as a result, the grandiosity is only heightened. The edifices are starkly and brilliantly lit, marble radiating like beacons in a sea of darkness.

There's no way to explain the sense of solitude that comes with exploring D.C. at night, so I will leave you with a few pictures. I feel these pictures are not just representative of the magic that occurs after sunset, but also how light can alter the way we view the world. For instance, museums are lit in a very specialized manner as a method to emphasize certain aspects of the art or subjects within. There are many installations that make particular use of this strategy, such as the Filthy Lucre exhibition at the Freer-Sackler (you can click to read a previous post, written by Claire Fuller, about Darren Waterson's interpretation of the legendary Peacock Room). Lighting can be as subdued or dramatic as the designer intends for it to appear. I invite you to enjoy some photos that I took of Washington at night.

Next time you visit a museum or exhibition, take some time to appreciate the intricacies of the lighting. It will give you a richer and deeper appreciation of what is involved in making a work enchanting. I also implore you to explore wherever you live (or wherever you visit) at night to reimagine the way you normally understand the world.

Microsoft, which just bought patents from AOL for $US1 billion, is now turning around and selling most of them to Facebook for $US550 million.
Facebook is buying about 650 of the 925 AOL patents and patent applications that Microsoft bought, Microsoft and Facebook said.
Facebook will also get a licence to use the rest of the AOL patents that Microsoft bought. Similarly, Microsoft will get a licence to use the patents Facebook is buying. This part of the arrangement amounts to an agreement between Facebook and Microsoft not to sue each other over any of the AOL patents. The companies are not saying what the patents cover.
Microsoft said the deal enables it to recoup half the cost of the AOL deal while reaching its goals for the purchase. Facebook's general counsel, Ted Ullyot, called the move a "significant step in our ongoing process of building an intellectual property portfolio to protect Facebook's interests over the long term."
Patents have become a valuable commodity for technology companies in recent years, and are frequently used in lawsuits against one another, leading Yammmer CEO David Sacks to dub patent wars an "innovation tax".
Facebook, which is expected to go public in May, is embroiled in a patent suit with struggling internet company Yahoo.
Yahoo had sued Facebook saying the company violates 10 of its patents covering advertising, privacy controls and social networking. Facebook responded with its own lawsuit this month accusing Yahoo of violating 10 of its patents.
The patents from AOL are adding to Facebook's quickly expanding patent portfolio. The company recently acquired 750 patents from IBM covering technologies that deal with software and networking. At the end of 2011, Facebook had just 56 US patents, which was a relatively small number compared with other big tech companies.
Facebook has said it expects to raise $US5 billion in its initial public offering. The actual figure is expected to be higher, however, and could value the Menlo Park, California-based company at as much as $US100 billion.
Facebook's blistering growth rate

i see stories being developed and aired
so much backstory could be a place were fan fiction comes into play*
It's all about the Numbers, my friends
The Math god
Here's a theory…
These funny colored quasi-humans are the result of some alcohol-induced decision making by previously upstanding Purist Nation citizens on vacation throughout the galaxy. Even Jame T. Kirk couldn't resist going for the bright green Orion slave girl.
They're also referred to by the Purists as the "Mongrel Races", which to me implies that there was some 'gene swapping' going on. Of course, I can't say I'd put too much stock in Purist theories, especially when the governing rule of their logic system is Modus Demonens, or "If P, then Satan. If not P, then still Satan. Q.E.D."
Scott – what is up with your beloved Detroit Lions??? They are ON FIRE! Don't you wish you were doing The Rookie right now – I don't think you would be hearing from as many Bear's fans this year!
Is there more of a background behind the um….. Non-Human, Humans? O.o
What I mean is, the Heavy G's, the Blue, and White skinned humans. Why are they colored that way? Was in environmental? I understand the Heavy G guys are just bigger because they would need to be stronger to put up with more gravity. But how much of a difference in gravity are we talking?
Just curious on your background thoughts. Thanks Sigler.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled to revoke a mining permit of a proposed mine by Arch Coal (Spruce No. 1). . .Keep your eyes peeled to KSDK, Ch. 5 for this falls' "The Million Dollar Quiz" in which participants could compete to win up to $10 million. The panel would compete for 12 straight days and nights and live in an hour-glass structure in Manhattan. Home viewers can play along and win opportunities to appear on the show.. . .Also, NBC Universal has gotten the green light to build a $1.6 billion structure, "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" in the company's southern California theme park. . .The 25th anniversary of the Bob Costas Benefit for Cardinal Glennon Chidlren's Med Center at the Fox Theater was a resounding hit. Hosted by Mike Neidorff's Centene Charitable Foundation, the stage headliner was John Mellencamp, who has amassed 22 Top 40
hits and nominated for 13 Grammys. A pre-show dinner was held in the innards of the showplace and attracted such A-listers as: Susan and Michael Scully, regional prez of US Bank; Ch. 5's Mike Bush and his wife, Claudia, who mentioned their son Matthew had just passed the bar; Janet and Jeff Rainford, Mayor Slay's chief of staff; Mercy's Dr.Rick Pennell cornered by Carol and Tom Voss; Sue and John Sinclair, who tipped a new dealership is in the wings and added, "I played Indian ball with Costas in the 1970s Jim and Jennifer Komen; mortgage scion Ray Vinson with Olga Senante; Zoo exec Susan Gallagher with hub, biz scribe Jim Gallagher and elsewhere – WashU profs Cameron Adams and Josh Lawrence with students Brianne Murphy and Jordan Sanders. Quipped former Ameren puffer Susan Gallagher: "I went from one zoo to another."
PITCH & CATCH: It doesn't take a doctor (though there were plenty of them at Busch Stadium on Thursday afternoon) to diagnose the condition of patient Cardinal Nation. The Nation is suffering from acute Cardinal fever. The all-too-obvious symptoms include a preoccupation with a certain Magic Number, a preference for the color red, an aversion to a team from Chicago, and a willingness to skip more usual pastimes (including actual work) to sit in Busch Stadium drinking $8 malted beverages. While examining the patient, this columnist collected plenty of fastballs, a couple of curveballs, and a wicked brushback pitch or two.
SWEET SUITES: "I'm going to lead a delegation to Cuba on Sept. 20 to try and open up a dialogue about travel opportunities," said US Representative Jo Anne Emerson, who was in a suite with US Rep. Lacy Clay and some other colleagues. "President Barack Obama will drop a bombshell in a joint session on September 9 on health insurance reform," said Clay, who brags out that he occasionally hears from the President by telephone. Nearby, fellow Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) had a bone to pick with Clay about barbeque. Cohen favored Memphis's Rendezvous, while Clay (and other locals in the suite) spoke up the ribs for our town's C&K . . . Nearby was Mike DuBois, a legislative assistant to US Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond, and the new father (with wife, Linda) of 2-month-old Ryan Patrick. DuBois mentioned that, while Bond was recently in Japan, our town's Roy Pfautch, who spends a lot of time in Japan, arranged a sumptuous feast for Bond and ministers of the Diet. DuBois had this to say about Clay and Bond: they get along very well "despite what you hear." Sen. Claire McCaskill? Not so much, apparently. "Claire brings nothing to the people," remarked a bystander (not named DuBois or Clay). "She just tells staff members each morning to get her on television.". . .David Steward, founder and chairman of World Wide Technologies, said his company is expanding with facilities in China, the Netherlands, Sao Paulo and Singapore. "In 2008, we grossed almost $2.6 billion and are buying $1.5 billion worth of network equipment," said Steward. "We're in a tech revolution and thinking about the next level. We're still hiring." . Elsewhere, Brenda and Jim Talent were entertaining. "I'm doing public policy stuff and have become a consultant to Fleishman-Hillard," said the ex-senator.
WITH THE WORKING STIFFS: Carpenters Union bossman Terry Nelson said, "For $12,000 a week, we are getting groceries to the unemployed in the union." How many, Terry? " Of our 20,000 members, 4,000 are out-of-work. But, I'm sure that we'll pick up after the first quarter of 2010." As Hemingway's Jake said in "The Sun Also Rises", "Isn't it pretty to think so?"
IDIOT BOX BOX: In the Fox Midwest Sports box, account exec Tim O'Connor did the honors for a select Steak 'n Shake crew. Anchoring the group were Brad Manns, head of franchising, and Springfield, Mo., franchisee Gary Leonard, who tipped us that the 420 restaurants in the chain will soon bow a new entry on the menu: a combination called Pico De Gello, a chilled combination of peppers, onions, tomatoes, lime and lemon juice and cilantro served up on either a steak burger or a steak frank.
INVESTORS CORNER: "The Post-Dispach is too episodic," insisted investments guru Joe Schlafly in the Merrill-Lynch suite. (A charge that a newspaper published daily would find it hard to rebut.) "I invested my own money and got Bill Danforth to contribute seed money for the St. Louis Beacon. We need responsible journalism." (The St. Louis Beacon is a news/features website staffed primarily by former employees of the episodic P-D.) . . .Between pitches, Ralph Gaia, an IT'er with Centene Corp. raved non-stop about the company's topper, Mike Neidorff. Why does Gaia love his boss? "I was so impressed that he conducted an ethics meeting, and that he's arranged a golf tournament for employees at the Bogie Club a week from Friday," said Gaia . . . Nestle/Ralston Purina makes the best-selling Fancy Feast cat food. That's the best I could get from the company's CEO, Patrick McGinnis. "This is my day off and we don't need any publicity," he barked when he noticed my notebook . . . Stuart Shelp of the RCGA probably should have listened to McGinnis. "We don't get along with them (the Regional Business Council) and we got them started." (Does anybody know RBC exec director Kathleen T. Osborn's email address?) . . . Brian Rhame, head of institutional advancement, and Mike Loyet, president, of St. John Vianney High School, got my congratulations on the 50th anniversary of their school — and quickly dropped names of some illustrious alums.

THE GOLDEN YEARS: It's a great time to be young, in an area that hasn't quite grown up yet, in a world on the brink of disaster. But, still poised for the future is optimistic visionary Gladys Kandel-Reeves, who has toiled for more than four decades at the Delmar Gardens family of 20 facilities, which stretch from here to Atlanta, and including Omaha, Kansas City and Las Vegas. And now, the glamorous woman is touting the company's fifth retirement center in O'Fallon, Mo., the Garden Villas of O'Fallon, that opens in November with a bowling alley, no less. . .
PINHEADS: St. Louis Sheriff's Deputy Charles Kraft has been accused of threatening a couple with a gun during a dispute about a parking spot at a Shrewsbury bowling alley. His subsequent legal problems in St. Louis County have drawn the support of his friends, including managers in his department and judges. A recent fundraiser to help pay his lawyers was hosted by the St. Louis Sheriff Lt. Ray Harris, and Deputies Charles Russo and Kathy Kraft, sister of Charles. Wonder what the St. Louis County prosecutor thinks about that?
COMINGS & GOINGS: Cop talk (no, not CopTalk) says that Governor Jay Nixon will dump the decades long tradition of being escorted through St. Louis by a special detail of the Metropolitan St. Louis Police Department. The guv is rumored to be considering using the state patrol to take over the duty. Is this an early indication of how the guv is leaning on the contentious issue of surrendering state control of the city's police force? . . . One of my all-time favorite news anchors, Deanne Lane, sent a note to set the record straight. "I was not fired. I resigned from KSDK (Channel 5), because I no longer wanted to work at night." Could she still be working in TV? "Among the offers I've had was one from KMOV (Channel 4)," Lane penned from Centene Corp, where she is listed as media contact . . .David Bonetti, sharp-tongued art critic with the Post-Dispatch has written that he "took advantage of advanced age and a benefits package and decided to retire." He further stated, "Although some of the Cherokee Street clique would like to think that I was fired by an enlightened management that wants reviews of inept artists showing their woeful attempts at self expression in vanity galleries, that is not the case". . . Z. Dwight Billingsley, whose most recent column for the Post-Dispatch compared President Obama's national healthcare prescriptions to bad public education policies, has penned his last column for the newspaper. (Will Z. Dwight now follow familiar migration patterns and end up in the St. Louis Beacon?). . .Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi will be special guest on Oct. 3 at the Chase-Park Plaza for the fifth annual gala with Rep. Russ Carnahan. For more info or to RSVP call 314-534-2004. Former Post-Dispatch editor Ellen Soeteber still has her CWE condo and regularly visits her mom, Norma Soeteber, in Shiloh, Ill., as well as other family and friends. But, she and her husband, Dick Martins, are enjoying being back in South Florida, where multiple cultures and lifestyles are the happy norm. When not in our town, she misses her family, her friends, and former colleagues at the Post-Dispatch and the Missouri Biotanical Garden. Christine Bertelson has ankled the Post-Dispatch for what she hopes will be a brighter future with Guv. Nixon's office, beginning Tuesday. A media maven mentioned to her how nice Nixon's state fair speech was on Aug. 13, while still in the paper's employ. She is rumored to have replied, "I wrote it" The maven also suggested, that her dealing with Nixon while in the employ of the P-D, got other staffers' noses out-of-joint. Bertelson served a number of posts at the paper, including editorial page editor, colyumnist and features editor…
HELLO?: The announcement that the local telco will no longer have to deliver its White Pages directory to customers will deprive some of us a favorite pastime: playing the Name Game. One favorite: the St. Louis directory contains a Hitler (and a bunch of Hittlers), a Tojo, two Roosevelts, nine Trumans and 12 Churchills. (There are also eight Schmucks and eleven Dierbergs – but, that's not a food fight, not a World War.)

text: SMITHFIELD, Va., July 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smithfield Foods, Inc. (NYSE:SFD) has honored several of its facilities and employees for their successful sustainability efforts during fiscal year 2013 through a number of innovative environmental projects. The bottom-line impact of these projects was significant, with Smithfield Foods saving more than 592 million gallons of water, nearly 12 million kilowatts of electricity and about 721,000 gallons of fuel oil. These reductions, along with other sustainability achievements resulting from various projects implemented by Smithfield's family of companies, produced an annual cost savings of more than $8 million. Smithfield recognized the environmental achievements of the past fiscal year during its annual Environmental Excellence Awards banquet on July 17, 2013. Smithfield executives presented one President's Award and 12 Environmental Excellence Awards for a variety of project categories that represent a companywide commitment to sustainability: wastewater handling and treatment; environmental training and/or ISO 14001; resource conservation-waste reduction; packaging reduction; best recycling of a previous year's project; community outreach and innovative solution to a compliance issue. The President's Award was presented to John Morrell, of Peru, Indiana, for its resource conservation/waste reduction project. John Morrell's Peru plant became the first Smithfield Foods facility to achieve zero-waste-to-landfill, reducing solid waste from 999 tons in fiscal year 2008 down to less than 25 tons during fiscal year 2013. The John Morrell facility also won an Environmental Excellence Award in the wastewater handling and treatment category for saving 3.5 million gallons of water and more than 5,000 pounds of chemicals. A complete list of categories and award recipients can be found below. For fiscal year 2013, 182 companywide projects were submitted for review. "We're very proud of our employees, who continue to find innovative ways to promote our sustainability efforts by enhancing our environmental management processes. Clearly, their ongoing efforts are producing measurable sustainability results that create value for our businesses and communities," said Dennis H. Treacy, Smithfield's executive vice president and chief sustainability officer.

In a conversation, when I tell someone I am an architecture student, the thing they seem to be dying to know is "So...do you use computers and stuff for drafting?" I've gotten this response many of times, as if the computer is the most impressive thing in my profession. Why? I understand that I am part of the new generation of computer drafting/modeling and hand drafting is dying, but who doesn't use a computer in any profession? There must be some sort of aura(Walter Benjamin) of using a computer to construct and design.
-University of Nebraska-
I've had the same happen. I think the image of the architect at the drafting table or standing with a roll of blueprints under his or her arm is one of those established cultural things.
most people think designing a building is an easy thing, they could do it themselves. using a computer program, on the other hand, seems to beyond some people's comprehension, so that's what impresses them.
be careful what you say, bigness, it is only a cntl-alt-del moment of time before the space odessay you describe is on the breakfast table.
just think in only the last 3 years how the technology has change. its a coming.
i actually believe it has become more accessible than ever, and yet people tell me "so you're good at using computers..."
not sure i understood your comment TED
I agree with all the posts, I believe it is beyond their comprehension...now. However, I believe the way technology is progressing, architecture and computers will be married (and probably not by choice for some.) The important thing to remember is architectural creativity should be shown with the computer functioning as a "tool". And like most craftsman, their work is successful by working with the tool.

It was an elegant affair. High tea at the Col. Taylor Inn Bed & Breakfast. Guests arrived dressed to the nines, some ladies white-gloved and wearing chapeaus that would be the envy of any woman at the Kentucky Derby.
The ambiance of the Inn was a reflection of what the British would call a most civilized affair.
Over 70 supporters of the Friends of the Kennedy Stone House gathered to add financial support to the on-going project initiated by Pauli Cornish and a group of friends in 1999.
Guests were treated to an array of tea cookies, scones and cucumber sandwiches. Servers were dressed reminiscent of the 19th century.
A raffle offered guests a chance to win an array of items which included a hand-painted lamp from Mosser Glass, a basket of goodies from the National Road Heritage Market, potted flowers, candles and porcelain tea cups.
Plans for restoration of the Stone House actually began in 1998 during the Guernsey County Bicentennial when the commissioners named the Stone House a legacy project and awarded $5,700 for its restoration.
Cornish has made the Stone House a personal commitment. She has worked tirelessly planning fundraisers, securing commitments from individuals, businesses and government agencies to save one of Guernsey Countys treasures.
I want to thank Jim and Patricia Irvin for welcoming everyone into their home. And thanks to all of you for making this fund-raiser a success, said Cornish.
Located at Salt Fork State Park, access to the Stone House is either by boat or on the newly completed gravel road.
Cornish said the next event at the Stone House is the dedication of the Walk of Honor this weekend.

Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and several universities in Europe are to assess the effectiveness of interactive online resources that provide young people with information and an opportunity to discuss concerns.
Anglia Ruskin will work with 300 randomly selected English 15-year-olds to assess the success of the internet-based programme, which targets 14- to 24-year-olds.
Tim Waller, professor of child and family studies and acting director of Anglia Ruskin's Childhood and Youth Research Institute, said the research could make a difference to the lives of thousands of young people across Europe.
"There is still an enormous stigma attached to mental health issues, but if we are able to improve the way information and advice is shared, then hopefully this stigma can be eroded," he said.
"We aim to improve mental health promotion to both support those young people in distress and help reduce the number of young people suffering from mental health problems in future.
"Currently there is a real problem with people leaving school and being unable to find work, and the under-24s are disproportionately affected. There is evidence that Neet (not in employment, education or training) youngsters are more prone to suicide."
Fieldwork on the project will run until June 2013. It will use a randomised controlled trial to investigate whether young people that use the website show a decrease in depression, anxiety, stress and suicidal thoughts, compared with a control group, which receives only a leaflet.
It will also examine the benefits of two different strategies for promoting the website – through young people themselves and through health professionals.
In the UK, more than 600 young people die as a result of suicide each year, with three times more young men than young women taking their own lives.
Statistics from the charity YoungMinds show that 6.2 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds have attempted suicide in their lifetime.

MAIDENHEAD United recovered from two goals down to deny Basingstoke Town what would have been an important three points.
Goals at the start of each half from Jordace Holder-Spooner and Andrew Jenkinson had Town in control at the Camrose on Saturday, only for the visitors to hit back and claim what could be a vital point in their battle against the drop.
Town, who remain 10th in the Conference South table, actually closed the gap between themselves and the play-off places to eight points, but the two points dropped could turn out to be crucial in the final reckoning.
The hosts, who were without Shaun McAuley due to sore ribs, made a good start on a heavy pitch and could have been in front with less than a minute on the clock.
Simon Dunn pulled to ball back to Louie Soares on the edge of the area. He had time to pick his spot but fired the wrong side of the post.
The hosts were well on top, with Andrew Jenkinson testing Maidenhead goalkeeper Elvijs Putnins after coming in from the right, before Holder-Spooner put them ahead with just 11 minutes gone.
Visiting defender Leon Solomon conceded a needless free-kick, from which Adam Green picked out Jay Gasson. His header towards goal lacked power but gave Holder-Spooner the opportunity to swivel and fire into the roof of the net from close range.
The setback rocked the strugglers, who looked there for the taking over the next 10 minutes - but Town could not make the most of this.
Green and Jenkinson both shot wide, while Holder-Spooner was unable to get enough on his effort to really test Putnins.
Maidenhead were able to regain their composure and even looked the more likely scorers for the final 25 minutes of the half. Harry Pritchard flashed a shot narrowly wide, while Louis Wells in the home goal did brilliantly to nick the ball away from Harry Grant with his fingertips, knowing that a penalty and a red card would probably been the sanction had he got it wrong.
However, the final opportunity of the first half went to Town, Soares firing over after winning a free-kick just outside the area.
The hosts will have been relieved to hear the half-time whistle, having let Maidenhead back into the game, but they wasted no time in doubling their lead after the break.
The second period was less than three minutes old when Soares cross from the right found Jenkinson at the back post. A defender had got a flick on the ball in, making it awkward, but the young midfielder managed to loop a header towards goal.
However, Putnins may feel he should have kept it out, failing to get a strong enough hand to the ball and seeing it drop agonisingly over the line.
Having taken a two-goal lead, the hosts seemed to relax, allowing Maidenhead to get on the front foot.
Almost immediately, Wells was forced to save with his feet to keep out Tyrell Miller-Rodney's near-post effort, and the visitors got themselves back into the game on 53 minutes.
A good move down the right resulted in the ball being squared for Pritchard to fire home from just outside the six-yard box, and Town no longer had the comfort of a two-goal cushion.
Manny Williams could have restored it, but he was only able to fire into the side-netting after a fabulous touch took the last Maidenhead defender out of the game.
Then it was the visitors' turn to go close, with Wells keeping out Danny Green's angled strike and making an even better save to prevent Matt Ruby equalising with a header from the resulting corner.
An opportunity followed almost immediately at the other end, but the hosts were unable to make the most of a dangerous break, Jenkinson and Holder-Spooner trying to be too clever.
They were made to pay with 12 minutes to go. Wells was unable to hold Pritchard's shot from distance and substitute Jacob Erskine was first to the loose ball, with the goalkeeper unable to recover in time to keep his effort out.
Town searched for a winning goal in the closing stages, with Neil Barrett firing just over from distance. However, the big chance fell to Williams following good play from Kezie Ibe, but the striker failed to get his shot away and was crowded out.
Things could have got even worse in stoppage time, Pritchard's curling effort clipping the head of David Ray and spinning narrowly wide as Basingstoke were forced to settle for a point.

Hi my name is Tan I will assist you.
If the cooling system is working properly then engine will not over heat and the water indicator will flow a strong stream of water. This in itself is the test. The engine has a temp sensor on each cylinder head that monitors the engine temp. If the engine over heats the engine over heat alarm will sound. Then the tell tale is the visual indicator that the engine is pumping water. These are all you need to determine that the cooling system is functioning properly. If you want more info on the cooling system as to temp you can use a Infra red temp gun to check the temp while running through out the rpm range.
If you follow the maintenance recommendations you will have a trouble free motor. The engine should be serviced every 100 hours of use or once a season or which ever comes first.
