URBANA -- High temperatures and sustained drought, especially in the extreme southern part of the state, have resulted in severe damage to many cornfields, which now are unlikely to produce economic grain yields.
University of Illinois extension educator Robert Bellm reminded producers wanting to salvage this drought-damaged corn for livestock feed to do so very carefully because there may be high nitrate levels in the forage.
"These levels will be highest in fields that received high nitrogen fertilizer or manure applications and in plants that are severely stunted and did not form an ear," he said.
Nitrate concentrations are highest in the lower third of the stalk. Harvesting or grazing only the upper two-thirds of the plant will greatly reduce the potential for nitrate toxicity.
Forages containing high levels of nitrate may still be safely fed if they are diluted with grain or other feedstuffs that are low in nitrate. "Within limits, animals can be conditioned to consume high-nitrate forages as long as they are introduced to them slowly," Bellm said.
Drought-damaged corn that is going to be green-chopped and fed should be tested prior to harvest. "Animals should be limit-fed and introduced to the forage slowly," advised Bellm.
"Making hay from drought-damaged corn will NOT reduce nitrate levels," he added. "Hay made from drought-damaged corn should be tested prior to feeding."
Ensiling the forage can reduce nitrate levels by 30 to 60 percent. Because fermentation may take up to 21 days, silage should not be fed for at least 3 weeks after being put into the silo or bag.
"Care should be taken when ensiling high-nitrate forages because of the potential for production of nitrogen oxide silo gases, which are toxic," Bellm warned.
Because of the variability of nitrate reduction during the ensiling process, silage made from high-nitrate forages should still be tested prior to feeding. Recommended safe feeding levels vary from state to state and are usually given as a range.
Laboratories may report results on a dry matter basis, or "as is" moisture. Test levels based upon "as is" moisture will always be higher when converted to a 100-percent dry-matter basis. Make the conversion for the sake of consistency.
Finally, some areas of the state received scattered rainfall this week. Harvesting drought-damaged forage should be delayed at least five days following a rain event. Immediately after rainfall, there is a rapid uptake of nitrate by the plants. Waiting a few days will allow them to metabolize the nitrate and reduce the nitrate concentrations within the plant.

(CBS/AP) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson in South Florida.
PICTURES: Athletes in trouble with the law
The state attorney's office confirmed Thursday that a Broward circuit judge issued a warrant May 7 against Johnson for failing to report to his probation officer.
Johnson received a year of probation last September after pleading no contest to a domestic violence charge involving his former wife, reality TV personality Evelyn Lozada.
The six-time Pro Bowl player was arrested in August after Lozada said he head-butted her during an argument. She quickly filed for divorce, which was finalized days before his conviction. They had only been married since July 4 of the same year.
Johnson was cut by the Miami Dolphins shortly after the incident. He previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.

MUSIC-playing equipment was seized from a 'noisy neighbour' after residents suffered six months of hell.
In the first seizure of its kind in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale, environmental health staff, backed by police, secured a warrant for a raid on a house in Carleton Street, Nelson.
Locksmiths helped council staff to enter the terrace property and remove the electrical equipment, including a TV and DVD player used to play loud pop music at all hours, after repeated complaints about rowdy gatherings there.
Neighbours were forced to move out of their homes in the middle of the night in a bid to secure some sleep.
Council bosses in Pendle have now pledged to take action wherever nuisance neighbours are making lives a misery on the borough's estates.
Coun John David, environmental services executive member, said: "This resident has been causing noise nuisance for over six months with absolutely no regard for her neighbours.
"Our environmental health staff have been working with the neighbours to try and bring about an end to their ordeal."
Richard Walsh, the council's public health manager, said neighbours contacted them when the noise became unbearable.
He added: "There have been occasions when they have had to take their family out of the house in the middle of the night to go and sleep at a relatives' home.
"The lack of sleep was causing them stress and their children's schooling was being affected.
"No one should have to put up with prolonged noise nuisance like this, and I'm pleased that we've been able to bring this case to a satisfactory conclusion."
An investigation began earlier this year when the authority received complaints about the mother-of-two, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Warning letters were sent out and the problem briefly died down - only for the parties to restart in September.
Police were called to the house at least twice in October for rowdy behaviour and a noise abatement order was served on the premises, under the Environmental Protection Act.
Later officials from East Lancashire's night-time noise nuisance service were drafted in and they witnessed loud parties on October 16, November 13 and December 3.
This evidence helped to persuade Reedley magistrates to grant an entry warrant, to impound any music-making equipment.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said after the seizure, said: "There are always problems with that house. Hopefully now it will be a lot quieter."
Council officers have confirmed that the householder will now be prosecuted for breaching the October noise abatement order. People who are suffering similar difficulties can contact 01282 661199.

Modernizing Federal Workspace To Gain Efficiencies and Cost Savings
The Bureau of Land Management (external link) has been a campus tenant for more than 30 years. Their mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America's public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In late 2011, BLM wanted to explore consolidating and reducing their real estate footprint at the DFC. BLM then approached the General Services Administration, the civilian federal government's landlord and manager of the DFC, for expertise.
BLM currently resides in portions of Buildings 40, 41, 53, and they occupy building 50 in its entirety. When the consolidation is complete, the project will reduce their office footprint by more than 41,000 rentable square feet - close to 20% of their campus space. This space reduction will result in direct rent savings totaling more than $445,000 annually.
The BLM, like many government agencies, is determined to realize true cost savings by decreasing their footprint while improving and reinventing their workspace. In order to do so, BLM is exploring a mix of modern and traditional workplace solutions, right-sizing support spaces, and examining how their organization functions most effectively.
The GSA project team will partner with the BLM and develop solutions that meet the bureau's goals and deliver a complete and operational finished product. That entails a space consolidation with an emphasis on improving the use of their space as well as providing mobility to the end users. Furthermore, the project will provide the desired cost savings and use of modern and mobile workplace solutions to support and improve the bureau's overall mission.
The project starts in October 2012 and is planned to be complete by 2015.

'Dirty Dozen' Prohibited Species Brochure Debuts
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has introduced a new brochure which details prohibited species in the seafood market. The brochure describes the harm to humans and the ecosystem that could result if each of the exotic (non-native) species makes it out into the environment.
For example, in the case of prohibited Tilapia: they may compete with native fish for resources and inhibit reproduction in some native species, and also may destroy vegetation and habitat by digging holes for spawning.
The brochure and companion poster is being distributed to TPWD law enforcement and fisheries offices statewide. Printing was funded through the settlement of a large case involving exotic/prohibited species. TPWD worked closely with the Harris County District Attorney's Office on the project.
A total of 5,000 brochures and 500 posters were printed.
"Posters will be distributed to groceries and markets where there have been problems in the past with these prohibited species. Texas Game Wardens will also distribute them on patrols and in out-reach meetings," said Lance Robinson in Coastal Fisheries who deals with exotic species and works near Houston.
The idea for the project happened when Houston-area game wardens found Asian swamp eels and some prohibited Tilapia, and discovered a huge distribution of water spinach, which is also prohibited but is a staple in the Asian diet. More than a ton was confiscated recently and had been growing for more than a decade, according to investigators. Now water spinach will only be allowed through a permitting process.
"The goal is to try and educate the public about these prohibited items and try to explain WHY they are prohibited," Robinson said.
The species in the new brochure are as follows: Pacific oysters (unless they've been shucked), all species of Cynoscion in the drum family except spotted seatrout, snakeheads, freshwater eels (family Anguillidae) except for the native American eel, mitten crabs (family Grapsidae), tilapia not from a TPWD-permitted facility, swamp eels (family Synbranchidae), several members of the Penaeid shrimp family, all species of giant rams-horn snails, water spinach, a number of Asian or Chinese carp species including grass carp, and piranhas. *
For a complete list of prohibited exotic species in Texas, visit tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/exotic. For a brochure, visit a TPWD Law Enforcement office or call (512) 389-4864.

Hotel Burnham – Reliance Building
The Reliance Building was reborn as the Hotel Burnham in October 1999 in the heart of Chigaco.
Located in the heart of downtown Chicago and the State Street retail district, the Hotel Burnham fuses a sophisticated interior and service with historic early 1900's architecture and design. Originally designed by Burnham and Root in 1891 and finished after Root's death by Charles Atwood of D.H. Burnham and Company in 1896, the Reliance Building is one of the most important early skyscrapers in America.
Its large expanses of glass and minimal bands of white glazed terra cotta is often referred to by architectural historians as a "proto-modern" building. Its significance is recognized by its being listed as both a National Historic Landmark and a City of Chicago Landmark.
As part of its rebirth the Reliance Building has undergone a $27.5 million refurbishment and renovation under the initiative of the owners, along with the City of Chicago Planning and Development Department. The storefront has been recreated to Root's original bronze and granite design with wide glass windows.
The elevator lobby was reconstructed using imported Italian marble for the walls and ceiling,ornamental metal elevator grilles and stairwell railings, and an elaborate mosaic tile floor modeled after the original – which had been completely destroyed.
Restoration architects also focused on preserving the upper floors (7-14) where some authentic elements remained in the floor lobbies, guest rooms and corridors. Terrazzo floors and marble walls and ceilings were cleaned and honed in the floor lobbies. Intact plaster ceilings, patterned (Florentine) plate glass, interior storefronts and varnished mahogany doors and trim were restored, as well.
The Reliance's turn-of-the-century opulence has been recreated by the use of leathers in deep earth tones, tumbled stone mosaic and mahogany wood throughout the lobby. Furnishings and linen in the guest rooms have deep blue and gold accenting.
The intimate Atwood Café, with its floor-to-ceiling velvet curtains and ornate decorations, is the perfect downtown Chicago restaurant. A private dining room on the Mezzanine level can be booked for meetings, lunch or dinner.
The Hotel Burnham is the third Chicago hotel managed by the Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, Inc., a San Francisco-based company known for its collection of stylish boutique hotels that are coupled with bustling chef-driven restaurants.
Building Design
The Reliance Building's skeletal frame construction was ahead of its time – preceding by a generation the sheer glass facades of skyscrapers designed by European architects in the 1920s.
An elegant structure wrapped in a skin of cream colored glazed terra cotta and wide expanses of broad, tall glass windows, the Reliance Building seemed almost to defy gravity when viewed by Chicagoans in the early 1900s.
The exterior is marked by narrow piers and spandrels, covered with enamelled terra cotta decorated with Gothic-style tracery (including a quatrefoil design element also found in the interior).
The light and airy facade is almost entirely windows comprised of both flat and projecting bays – what is known as a "Chicago window." A flat cornice topped the 14-story structure, which has been reconstructed.
All structural support for the building is provided by the internal steel skeleton, which utilized an unusual two story-high column that improved wind bracing capabilities, simplified design, saved on steel and provided continuous pipe space inside the column. For more details about the restoration view Harboe Architects Reliance Building.
While in Chicago visit the nearby Millennium Park, featuring Frank Gehry's Pritzker Pavilion and the 925 foot long BP walking bridge, connecting Millennium Park to Daley Bicentennial Plaza. Also the new Spertus Building, designed by Krueck +Sexton, a few blocks further.
On the way you will pass the construction site of Renzo Piano's new wing for the Art Institute of Chicago. Scheduled to open in 2009 the building features a "flying carpet" roof structure. Piano is also designing the Nichols Bridgeway that will connect Millennium park to the Modern Wing. The 62 feet long, 15 feet wide pedestrian bridge will be made of painted structural steel, stainless steel mesh, and aluminum planking.
Not to be missed is a walk around the IIT campus with 20 buildings by Mies van der Rohe. Crown Hall (1950 – 1956), one of his masterpieces, was designed to house Illinois Institurte of Technology's Department of Architecture, Planning, and Design. The building was designated a Landmark in 1997. The Chapel of Saint Savior (1949 – 1952), a small brick building with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, was his only religious building.
While at IIT visit the McCormick Tribune Campus Center by Rem Koolhaas OMA.
Located next to it is Helmut Jahn's new Student Residence Hall, a long glass and corrugated stainless steel structure comprised of six interconnected housing units. The student rooms have large windows overlooking courtyards and the IIT campus.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers a superb selection of Chicago architecture tours. We highly recommend them. They also published an excellent small book about the Reliance Building.

If you have not read "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson we suggest you order it right away. The juxtaposition of the two main characters – architect Daniel H. Burnham and murderer H.H. Holmes – is fascinating. The combination of the birth of Chicago as a world class city, the magic of the fair, and the creepy serial killer makes for a compelling read.
The San Francisco Cronicle called it "As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find."

Astros have veterans to complement youth
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- For all the talk about how young the Astros are going to be this year, two of their starters -- right fielder Rick Ankiel, designated hitter/first baseman Carlos Pena -- are 30 years old or older, as is Ronny Cedeno, who'll platoon at shortstop, as well as starting pitcher Erik Bedard and closer Jose Veras.
Manager Bo Porter said it's important to have veteran players in a young clubhouse to provide leadership despite the team's commitment to youth.
"When you have players that haven't played for long periods of time in the Major Leagues, when you can surround them with players that can be mentors, it's good," he said. "A lot of times, from a staff standpoint, there are things that never make it to you because you have better guys who have been through the trenches and they're able to share information with the guys, whether it's sitting on the bench or sitting in the clubhouse or sitting on the airplane or the taxi to the ballpark together."
Porter was a coach with the Nationals the last two years and worked with Ankiel, and he became well-versed about Cedeno's game in preparation for interviewing for a job with the Pirates a few years ago.
"A lot of the veterans that are here, if you look around, I have some kind of history with them," he said. "They're here for a reason. Again, you want to not only have veteran guys, you want to have the right veteran guys."

Wat Ton Son
Ang Thong is a small province through which the Chao Phraya and Noi Rivers flow.
Ang Thong is mostly flat, containing neither mountains nor forests, and consists primarily of agricultural land. Ang Thong receives much rain during the rainy season and the two rivers and their subsidiary canals (klongs) provide enough water to the sandy soil to produces abundant rice crops. Ang Thong is only 108 kilometers from Bangkok and is an area of historical importance for its contributions to Thai art and mythology. There are a number of historical attractions in Ang Thong, including many fine temples, and there are opportunities to see unique handicrafts produced in several local villages.

text: Newest MU pipeline: Atlanta Sports Academy By Doug Smock February 4, 2013 Story Share As national signing day approaches, Marshall is getting its usual reinforcements from either of the two well-known Virginia military prep schools, Fork Union and Hargrave.This week, it will be Fork Union, as wide receiver/athlete Angelo Jean-Louis and linebacker Stephan Houston are expected to sign letters of intent Wednesday. Both are ranked four stars by at least one recruiting-oriented website.But there is another emerging postgraduate pipeline pushing recruits to Huntington, and it's Atlanta Sports Academy. Another wide receiver/athlete, 6-foot-2, 215-pound Deontay McManus, is enrolled at MU for the spring semester and is expected to sign Wednesday.McManus, rated four stars by Rivals and three stars by other recruiting sites, hails from Baltimore. ESPN.com posted a scouting report, updated Jan. 13, which reads in part:"Offensively, he is a galloping brute of a player. Good athleticism, but little polish at this stage. He is like a bull in a china shop when the ball is in the air. Elbows and muscles his way into position and will elevate with his long arms and leaping ability to snag the ball in traffic."In other words, a good candidate to fill voids left by departing receivers Aaron Dobson and Antavious Wilson.McManus would be the fourth ASA alum to sign with the Herd, joining Tyler Williams, Corey Tindal and Kent Turene. Defensive back Tindal and linebacker Turene, who enrolled in January 2012, have just become eligible after sitting out two semesters as nonqualifiers, while Williams just finished a very successful freshman season as MU's punter.All four will count toward MU's recruiting class of 2013. Williams, who boomed punts at a 45.2-yard clip, went on scholarship this semester, thus becoming an "initial counter" in NCAA rules parlance - just like Wednesday's signees, should they qualify as freshmen. Williams went to ASA out of R. Nelson Snider High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., playing for the Spartans in the fall of 2011. He walked on at Marshall in the spring of 2012, got the hang of college-speed punt operations and a switch seemingly flipped in mid-August.In a videotaped testimonial, Williams talked about how ASA helped his career."Coming out of high school, I only had one walk-on offer, at Ball State," he said. "Being down here, I got close to 10 more offers . . ."It's a good experience. Like any other, [it has its] ups and downs and tough times. But most of all, you learn leadership and hard work and character pays off. In the long run, I think it will help me in life."ASA was co-founded in 2009 by Damon Dawson, a former defensive lineman at North Carolina and Hampton, and Viondi Pate, who played collegiately at Auburn. In a nutshell, the academy aims to boosts the stock of athletes on the field and in the classroom. The school has moved into its own campus near suburban Dawsonville, housing more than 200 male students in three different sports - football, basketball and baseball. The football program, often split into two squads, went a combined 18-1 and boasts of 23 signees and commitments, three in the FBS.(One is Deion Sanders Jr., heading to Big East-bound Southern Methodist.) A budding alumni list is displayed, including the first three Marshall recruits and players who headed to Auburn, Mississippi State and Middle Tennessee State, plus a number of FCS schools.nnAs the suspense grows over 11th-hour surprises, some attention has turned toward offensive lineman Sandley Jean-Felix of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.Ranked 140th among offensive tackles by ESPN.com, the 6-foot-5, 295-pound Jean-Felix has been committed to Florida International since last August. But the Panthers have since changed coaches, firing Mario Cristobal and hiring Ron Turner.In that transition, offensive line coach Alex Mirabal was let go and is widely reported to have joined the MU staff (the school has announced three coaching hires, but not that one). The Miami Herald reported that Jean-Felix has visited MU."Don't be surprised if this is a verbal commitment [to FIU] that doesn't make it to Wednesday," the Herald said. nnThe Big Green Scholarship Foundation is hosting a signing-day party from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesday at room BE-5 of the Memorial Student Center. Admission is $15, and you must be a Big Green or Quarterback Club member.Big Green memberships (minimum $50) will be available at the door. For more information or to RSVP, call 304-696-4661.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Donations can be made by sending checks or money orders (made out to "Ukiah Boys and Girls Club") to the Ukiah Boys and Girls Club at P.O. Box 67, Ukiah, 95482, or by bringing or mailing them to The Ukiah Daily Journal office at 590 S. School St., Ukiah, 95482.
Here's what Club members are saying ...
Emily Pozzi age 9 says "my favorite thing to do at the Club is play in the gym and do art because I can play slam-ball with my friends and it's really big. All of the staff members are my favorite because they are all very helpful and trustworthy. I enjoy spending time with my Boys and Girls Club friends because we have fun together."
Here is what Alyson Gomes, age 6, has to say about her Club experience: "I like to play tag outside because it's fun to run. Jamie is my favorite staff because she is nice and fun. My favorite part of the day is going into the movie room and playing Dance Central on the Xbox because everyone gets a turn to play."

President Obama outlined ambitious new goals for U.S. deficit reduction, including a call for growth in security spending to be held below inflation over the next 12 years. This amounts to a $400 billion cut over current plans. Fiscal hardliners have called for even greater cuts in defense spending–up to $1 trillion. While the Congress would probably not implement such drastic surgery, the outlook for defense spending in the U.S. has now clearly changed.
Meanwhile, the Fiscal Year 2011 U.S. federal budget has finally been approved, allowing the Pentagon to start new programs. Aviation highlights of the Fiscal Year 2012 Pentagon budget testimony given recently to Congress are:
• initial funding for a new stealth bomber that will be "designed and built using existing technologies"
• more funding for F-15C/D upgrades, including new displays and radios as well as the AESA radar retrofit
• a study on F-16 modernization including AESA radar, displays, electronic warfare and datalink, plus design of structural modifications for Blocks 40/42/50/52
• a study on how to replace the E-8 JSTARS
• 13 electronic attack pods for the MQ-9 Reaper UAS
• development and full-rate production of the AIM-9X Block 2 air-air missile
• funds for the competitive prototyping development of a 'next-generation missile' to replace the AIM-120D and the AGM-88
• fielding of the first of 72 planned MH-60M helicopters for special forces, replacing MH-60K/L versions. The Army gets 71 more UH-60M/HH-60M upgraded versions.
• reduced procurement of six F-35Bs each in Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 while the V/STOL version of the Joint Strike Fighter remains on probation
• 28 more F/A-18E/Fs, with production to be extended through Fiscal Year 2014
• a further life extension to 10,000 hours for 150 F/A-18C/D versions.

Photo Gallery: Asian-Inspired Rooms
Design inspiration from the Far East.
A bold bench, demi-lune table and black-painted door with windows add character and functionality.
"Lisa Borgnes Giramonti's Los Angeles, California entry, enveloped in Flowering Quince wallpaper from Clarence House, is welcoming, classic, and of course beautiful," says Courtney Barnes, designer and author of the popular Style Court blog. "But some of the unexpected elements are a nod to her passion for eccentricities. For example, the bold red stair runner and the sheep by the door. These really add personal warmth."
See more of Barnes' design picks in our gallery.
Chinese, Indian and English artifacts mix beautifully for a well-travelled look.
Original herringbone flooring and glass walls and roof endow this conservatory with unique period character. A big turn-of-the-century Chinese wedding cabinet offers a home for family clutter.
See more beautiful interiors with gorgeous flooring in our photo gallery.
Add interest by mixing and matching pieces found on world travels.
A black island provides a furniture-like focal point in this kitchen. Woven stools, kudu horns and a screen made of antique chinoiserie wallpaper also add a global feeling to the space. Pine wood floors look like bare wood when treated to a pickling stain, which helps imbue the space with a sense of airy lightness.
See the before photo plus other stunning before-and-after shots in our Bold Renovations gallery.
The simple shapes of on-trend global-style pendants imbue importance when hung en masse.
Punctured-tin light fixtures made in Cairo were rewired and hung asymmetrically over the dining table for a loose, romantic effect. Low-key chairs (covered in silk velvet) keep the sight lines open around the rosewood and hammered-nickel dining table. The buffet, an unexpected office credenza in silver lacquer, completes the vintage look. The walls were painted with a faint, distressed Saz-style motif.
See more of this home in our photo gallery and Online TV segment.
Bring harmony to your space with hallmarks of Japanese design.
In Japan, black is considered a colour that is used to emphasize form. Look for shapely black items such as leggy cocktail tables or a curvy webbed chair. As a finishing touch, decorate white walls with traditional calligraphic scrolls; fashioned into a kimono and hung on a bamboo pole, their inky script becomes gorgeous graphic art.
Soothing lavender walls offset ornately patterned furniture.
Designer Katie Ridder layered this opulent living room with rich decor — a pair of inlaid Indian tables, a sofa upholstered in a linen weave, an antique Tabriz carpet, a Kiki Smith painting — for a modern-regal effect.
Get more design and decorating ideas in our Katie Ridder photo gallery.
Glam meets modern in this posh pad.
This Los Angeles bedroom by Canadian–born design darling Tamara Kaye–Honey is brimming with understated glamour. By pairing white with bold and subtle blues, the designer achieves a serene, monochromoatic effect. A large-scale photo by iconic photographer Slim Aarons acts as a focal point and echoes the room's subdued colour palette. The Asian Foo Dog lamps and silver-tasseled Moroccan wedding blanket lend the room an exotic allure.
See more pretty, Tiffany-inspired interiors in our photo gallery.
Daring design gives this room a heightened sense of drama.
In 2011, traditionalists are expressing their inner rebels with a riot of clashing colours and bold patterns. Chinoiserie wallpaper mixes with a camp-style red point blanket to offer appealing tension and an upholstered headboard gets an edgy update with nailhead detailing. Classic lampshades on swing-arm lamps, while still pleated and pretty, swap out more staid shades for exotic brights. Bits of gold detailing throughout add a balancing dose of traditional polish.
See more 2011 trend looks in our photo gallery, plus more tips on Decorating With Pink.
A vintage headboard and ornate white mirror frame add to this room's intricate details.
The midtown Manhattan apartment of jewelry designer Barbara S. Gross is dark and dramatic, but this guest bedroom exudes a playful, feminine style. Painterly cherry blossoms printed on Clarence House wallpaper add a chinoiserie element. Wallpapering all four walls and the ceiling makes a large room seem small and cosy.
See more interiors from Amy Lau's Expressive Modern in our photo gallery.
Look for one-of-a-kind antique pieces with an exotic feel.
Lit by handsome tall original sash windows, the spare bedroom is home to an early-1800s teak village bed that was shipped back from Rajasthan, India. En route, it lost its tiles and broke to bits. It was reassembled in London by a master joiner, and homeowner Alistair Green scoured the city to find the new tiles.
A Zen-inspired vignette.
Practise the Japanese art of display by creating a balanced composition, using only a few items against a blank white canvas. Pair light and dark objects and straight lines with curves. Using Japanese washi tape to hang small pieces of art makes the vignette informal and easy to change around.

Top prospect Gray on radar to make debut
PITTSBURGH -- Rockies right-handed prospect Jon Gray has given up just one run, and it was unearned, in 11 2/3 innings over his last two starts at Double-A Tulsa.
Although it's likely lefty Yohan Flande, who was 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in three starts during an earlier stint with the Rockies, will fill an open rotation spot on Tuesday against the Nationals, manager Walt Weiss said Gray is on his radar to make his debut this season.
Gray, ranked as the Rockies' No. 1 prospect by MLB.com, was Colorado's top Draft pick, third overall, out of Oklahoma last year.
"I think he's still in the picture this season, but he's in his first full season in the Minor Leagues," Weiss said. "He's making some progress. His last outing in particular was very good.
"I check his stat line and all that stuff. For the most part, we rely on our player development people. Just the fact that he's a big hoss, he's got a real good arm and he's a power pitcher, those are things to be excited about. Those things play up here, too."

9 of Martha Stewart's Most Memorable Hip-Hop Moments
While some are quick to think that Martha Stewart's new show, Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party, on Vh1, is her first time connecting with hip-hop—one look back at her history reveals that the DIY queen has always had close ties with rappers. From the many rapper guests she invited on Martha, her talk show that ran through 2012, to Eminem being her favorite rapper—Martha Stewart has always been down with the culture.
In August, news popped up that Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg would be launching a cooking show together in the fall. While the announcement took many by surprise—the idea, although random, also seemed somewhat genius. The Home-Maker icon had always been a supporter of rap music dating back over a decade—with everyone from LL Cool J to Big Boi appearing on her show.
Snoop and Martha's trendy cooking show premiered on Vh1 Nov. 7 featuring Wiz Khalifa, Ice Cube and Seth Rogen as guest stars. The episode consisted of a fried chicken cook-off between Snoop and Martha—with Cube, Wiz and Seth as judges. Anderson .Paak additionally offered up a performance.
One look back in time at Martha's dealings with rappers over the years unveils a long history and a tight relationship with the talkshow host. Below, check out some of Martha's most memorable moments with rappers from the past.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Nathan Gastineau, the former San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy accused of having sex with a teen Explorer, took the stand in his defense Tuesday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
During his testimony Gastineau, who is out of custody on bail, admitted to having sex with the teen once when she was 16 years old, but nothing else.
"There was no sex prior to Jane Doe's 16th birthday?" defense attorney Andrew Haynal asked.
"No," Gastineau said.
"Nothing other than on March 5, 2011," Haynal said.
"There were no other incidents." Gastineau said.
Gastineau, now 33, has been charged with 17 counts – six counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child 14 or 15 years old, 10 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than three years younger. and one count of possessing child pornography.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
While he was on the stand Gastineau said he is currently working as a cab driver in Santa Clarita. He has been doing that for about 2 1/2 years.
Before that, he was a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy working at the Highland station and living in Redlands. He worked at that station from 2006 until June 2011, when he resigned.
From June 2006 to April 2011 Gastineau oversaw the Explorer program, where he met the girl, called Jane Doe, who was 15 years old at the time. She applied to be an Explorer in June 2010 and Gastineau, who had been an Explorer himself, was the one who accepted her into the program, he said.
Later that year, the girl joined Gastineau and his girlfriend at the time at events for a club he helped organize – the Inland Empire Ghost Busters.
"She started tagging along," he said.
Gastineau said he and his girlfriend would take Jane Doe to and from events, but the teen would ride with Gastineau's girlfriend while he drove the Ghost Busters vehicle.
Haynal and the defendant went over each Ghost Busters event with Gastineau. They talked about whether Jane Doe attended that event, who drove her, etc. Gastineau also testified that he would give Jane Doe rides to or from Explorer meetings.
On March 5, 2011, a day of a scheduled Ghost Busters gathering, a sexual incident occurred between Gastineau and Jane Doe at his apartment, he testified.
Gastineau said he picked her up that day, but had forgotten several things he needed for the event. The two went back to his apartment and he said he asked her to stay in the car, but she came up because she wanted to see his girlfriend's cats.
Gastineau said when he came out of his bedroom, the girl was on his couch. She made sexual advances toward him – straddled him and started kissing him – and the two eventually went into the bedroom, he said.
"She asked me if I wanted to have sex," Gastineau said. "We began unclothing each other and just had sex."
Gastineau's girlfriend was not home at the time.
The two took pictures and a video during sex, which Gastineau kept on a hard drive, He testified that the pictures and video, which are entered as evidence in this case, were only taken on that day.
Gastineau's statements contradict what Jane Doe said last week when she took the stand.
Jane Doe testified that the two had sex once a week – about 20 times – in his apartment over a six month period – from October 2010 to April 2011.
During an interview with detectives, Gastineau initially denied having any kind of relationship with Jane Doe. But he eventually admitted to having sex with her once on March 5, 2011, when she was 16. Gastineau then testified that he volunteered information to detectives about having a video and photos of them on his hard drive.
To explain the difference in times embedded in the photo data, Gastineau testified that he had a very old computer and any time he uploaded a photograph to that computer he would have to manually change the date. He also said when he removed the battery from his camera it would always reset the date and time, so it was never accurate.
Gastineau said he didn't bother ever changing the date and time on the camera because he would date them in iPhoto on his computer.
When talking about their relationship, Gastineau said there was a time where he was close to falling in love with Jane Doe.
"I cared about her a lot," he testified.
He later said, "she was a good friend. I cared about her but nothing more."
The defense is scheduled to call more witnesses Wednesday.

Seeing Westbrook trying to be the alpha dog is bad.... Horrible shot selection
Loved watching DWade fouling out and going to the locker room to calm down. Nothing funnier than Wade with his head up his .
NO Lebron is getting better, but its too soon in the season. He will peak very soon and fall back to earth to his normal self where he is vulnerable to to the Pacers.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Yeah, we match-up decently against them and can frustrate them, but there's nothing we can do to stop a possessed Lebron James from beating us in a playoff series.
LeBron that keeps getting better is scary at this point. The only thing you can hope for is for him to not carry this momentum come playoff time. The Heat goes wherever he goes.
Technically, Jordan averaged just under 50ppg for a playoff series once and pretty much beat a good cavs team by himself...
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
If LeBron's outside game is hitting like this then the Pacers (and no other team in the league for that matter) have no chance against the Heat. I really doubt he can keep this up though, and I still think the Pacers match up really well. If the Pacers somehow got to the ECF I wouldn't be at all shocked if they beat the Heat. I would be extremely shocked if they beat the Thunder or Spurs though.

I think we are going to be there. It's gonna be weird to think we are just one playoff series away from the finals. I think we can beat Chicago and New York. We had the Heat last year. The players are one year more experienced. We beat the Heat on the boards. Lebron and Wade are going to get theirs, we just have to keep the other players under control. The Pacers have held Ray Allen to 2 scoreless games, his only scoreless games of his career. That's a very good sign. I watch the Heat and I just think our defense is too good.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Yup. Gun to my head (or really any part of my body really) I would take the Knicks over the Pacers just because of Melo and their ability to get hot for a couple games and shoot us out of the series. Especially if the Knicks have home court.
New York Knicks:
18-5 (n=23) from November 2nd until December 15th
14-13 (n=27) from December 15th until February 15th
Also, some of the factors that were critical to their early season success (hot shooting, old legs fresh at the beginning of the season, few nagging injuries) are unlikely to re-emerge for a seven game series in the second round of the playoffs.
Injuries to Shumpert and Amar'e are mitigating factors, of course (these guys will likely be as good or better in the playoffs than they have been). Another factor is Felton's injury, which was obviously devastating.
I'm not saying I'm not scared of the Knicks, especially if they end up with home court, but this is not the same team we saw in November and December. I don't think we will see that team in the playoffs. I also don't think we will see the January Knicks in the playoffs so we'll see what happens.
Right now the Knicks are matched up against Boston in the first round. Honestly, I'd be tempted to pick Boston to win that series. You can't underestimate the toughness of Garnett, Pierce, and Terry (who has looked a lot better lately). It would be interesting to see Terry go up against Chandler and Kidd since they were all members of that championship team.
I know he's enemy #1 here, though I still can't really understand why, but this thought crossed my mind last night. If Lebron was 6'3", 200 lbs with mediocre athleticism, he'd still be one of the 5 best players in the NBA.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Bosh only played one game against us last year and they still won the series. I don't think that stopping Bosh is going to do all that much, though it will certainly help.
Stopping Wade would certainly help in theory, but I think he is simply too good to be stopped. He might not be 2006 Wade anymore, but he's still pretty freaking good. In the six game series last year, he scored 29, 24, 5, 30, 28, 41. We stopped him one game, and then he came back the next three with a chip on his shoulder and completely torched us.
I think we can frustrate them and take a couple of games from them. I want to believe. But after watching the playoffs for so many years, one thing is clear: The team with the best offensive players almost always win: Lebron, Dirk, Mamba, Truth, Duncan, Shaq, 45, Hakeem, etc etc etc. I don't think there's any defense that can stop Lebron from exploding and taking over a series when he wants to. If we had a player who could trade buckets with Lebron, then it would be different. Lebron and Wade are so superior offensively to anything we have, and that is what will decide the series. If we had a Reggie on the team, i.e. a guy who you could count on to take over the game offensively in the fourth quarter, then it would be different. But I don't have confidence that anyone on this roster can do that. We have multiple "very good" offensive players, but there's no player who you can count on to routinely will you to playoff wins by taking his game to the next level like Reggie did. That's what wins in the playoffs. Our best hope is that Paul George eventually turns into that player. I'm confident that he can because he's only 22 and has drastically improved his offensive game in every season. The sky is the limit for him.
Completely random but I lol-ed
JJ Watt is a beast and look how tiny he looks next to Yao.
He wouldn't be able to get to the rim nearly as well as he does. That body and that athleticism opens up things (outside jump shots, post ups, transition game) for him.
Now he would still be an NBA player, and probably a pretty good PG. Maybe he'd be a like a bigger CP3.
I thought Frank had a nice coaching moment vs the Heat last game. He switched David to Bosh and left Roy on Haslem. That kept Roy inside near the basket and David out on Bosh to contest those jumpers. JMO, but the guy that will determine Pacer success vs the Heat is Roy. If he can score inside, they will have problems with the B&G.
Completely disagree. His game depends on his athleticism/strength as much...if not more..than Rose's does.
His passing ability with just ok athleticism makes him rondo .
It could repeat itself, but I think we're more likely to pull it out this year than we were last year for various reasons. I just think what that would probably look like is LeBron scoring above his average while everyone else scores below theirs (or with some exceptions scoring just AT their average and not above it). That's all I'm really trying to say.
Honestly a big quiet difference this year over last year is having Ian instead of Lou backing up the five spot. He stuck out in both wins thus far to me in how different it is to have him come off the bench instead of Lou to protect the rim, challenge shots, discourage drives. Having that size and length for 48 minutes is a huge deal for us in that matchup. With Lou it was pretty tough.

WOBENZYM N - Wobenzym N 200 TABLET
Our Price: $40.85
Product Description
Garden of Life - Wobenzym N Healthy Inflammation and Joint Support (formerly distributed by Mucos)
Wobenzym N contains a combination of enzymes which when taken on an empty stomach can act as an anti-inflammatory or when taken with a meal can help to better digest and assimilate food.Wobenzym contains systemic enzymes, which split other proteins and break them down into smaller chains of amino acids. The body uses these naturally-occurring enzymes like a biological vacuum cleaner to rid the blood of circulating immune complexes and other harmful proteins that can lodge in joints or cause other health problems. Wobenzyme N. Nutritional Defense for Inflammation. Germany's Most Popular Immune System Supplement. An Enzyme Supplement. Enteric Coated (pH stable) tablets. Wobenzyme N is a safe, natural, clinically researched enzyme formula, unlike aspirin type products which are formulated to temporarily inhibit pain.
Wobenzym N is the authentic systemic enzyme formula trusted by millions worldwide to provide clinically demonstrated support for joint and inflammation health.
First introduced in Germany as a pharmaceutical over 40 years ago, Wobenzym N has been updated but still features the time-tested, synergistic combination of plant-based enzymes, pancreatic enzymes and antioxidants. These powerful yet delicate enzymes are protected by a vegetable-based enteric coating which ensures optimal absorption and utilization in the blood stream.
Years of Research and Validation
The exact formulation found in Wobenzym N has been featured in six human clinical studies with 2,489 patients studied. When you read that Wobenzym N provides temporary relief from everyday aches, pains and muscle soreness due to everyday activity, increased flexibility and mobility, and promotes a normal inflammation response and supports joint and tendon health, you know that these results have been clinically studied.
Since Wobenzym N became available in Europe in the 1960s, over 29 million people have taken the product. Millions of ordinary people seeking temporary relief have found an answer in Wobenzym N.
The Far-Reaching Benefits of Wobenzym N
Wobenzym N is a unique blend of systemic enzymes that provides temporary relief from aches, pain and muscle soreness due to everyday activity, supports the body's natural inflammation response, and leads to increased flexibility and mobility and supports overall joint and tendon health as well.
Enzymes are fascinating essential biological catalysts that are involved in almost every single process in the body. They initiate millions of chemical reactions every second in the human body. It is easy to see why supplementing with systemic enzymes can have far-reaching benefits to the human body.
The enzyme blend in Wobenzym N contains the following, clinically studied enzymes: pancreatin, papain, bromelain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Each one of these is a protease, which simply means that they break down proteins.
There are certain proteins in the body that stimulate and others that repress inflammation. Under normal circumstances, your body balances the two. The systemic enzymes in Wobenzym N support that balancing process, assisting normal inflammation response that in turn, leads to temporary relief from everyday activity-related aches and pains.
And of course, Wobenzym N tablets are enteric coated to ensure that the enzymes are protected and allows them to reach the small intestine, where absorption occurs and they can be accessed by the body.
The key benefits of Wobenzym N include:
- Supports the Body's Natural Inflammation Response
- Increases Flexibility and Mobility
- Supports Joint and Tendon Health
- Temporary Relief from Aches, Pains and Muscle Soreness due to Everyday Activity
- Increases Flexibility and Mobility

- Temporary Relief from Aches, Pains and Muscle Soreness due to Everyday Activity
Wobenzym N works holistically — throughout your entire body — to support your body's natural response to inflammation.† While inflammation in the body is a normal and natural response, the aches, pains and muscle soreness that often accompany it can keep you from living the active lifestyle you desire. Experiencing extraordinary health is all about helping the body achieve homeostasis — a dynamic state of balance.
If you want to take control of your life and live it on your terms, choose the brand that has been trusted by millions worldwide for decades — choose Wobenzym N.

South Bend, Ind. • When videographers and historians get together to chronicle the 2012 Brigham Young University football season, the theme will emerge rather quickly.
Blown opportunities.
Wasted chances.
And a whole lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda.
That was more than evident Saturday afternoon in what could have been a golden moment for coach Bronco Mendenhall's team, and outlined against a blue-gray October sky, no less. Holding the Cougars scoreless in the second half, the No. 5-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish stayed undefeated with a 17-14 win in front of 80,795 at historic Notre Dame Stadium.
"One or two plays short from being able to come away with a victory," Mendenhall said. BYU fans have heard that one before, as three of BYU's four losses have been by a field goal or less.
As the Cougars trudged to their locker room and the Notre Dame band played its familiar fight song for what seemed like the millionth time, quarterback Riley Nelson said the feeling was eerily similar to those razor-close losses in September, 24-21 to Utah and 7-6 to Boise State.
"Extremely [frustrating]," Nelson said. "We just can't seem to close [the deal]. ... Way worse than getting blown out, if you ask me."
If there was a play that symbolized and substantiated Mendenhall's theory that the Cougars (4-4) were a play away from pulling off what would have been the biggest win in his eight-year tenure, it was the one midway through the fourth quarter when Nelson overthrew a wide-open Cody Hoffman, who was 10 yards beyond the nearest Irish defender.
"That probably wins the game for us," Nelson said.
Perhaps, but a few plays later, Mendenhall made a critical decision that also impacted the result. The Cougars punted on fourth-and-13 from the Notre Dame 34, instead of opting for a 51-yard field-goal try from Justin Sorensen, who was wide left on a 46-yarder in the third quarter.
Mendenhall said that earlier miss by Sorensen played into his decision to punt, and with around six minutes remaining and one timeout left, he thought the Cougars' defense could get a quick stop.
It couldn't.
The Irish took over with 6:10 remaining and didn't give the ball back until 22 seconds remained, using their powerful rushing attack that put up 270 yards against the No. 3 defense in the country against the run.
"That's a bracket-buster team, in basketball parlance," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said of BYU. "That's a darned good football team."
But not quite good enough again.
The Cougars took a 14-7 halftime lead, but mustered just 115 yards in the second half. The difference in the game was Kyle Brindza's 24-yard field goal, after two misses. That came after Theo Riddick busted off a 55-yard run when most Cougar defenders thought he had been tripped by Kyle Van Noy.
Jordan Johnson ran Riddick down to save BYU four points.
The go-ahead touchdown came when BYU safety Joe Sampson whiffed on an open-field tackle opportunity, allowing George Atkinson to reach the end zone on third-and-2 with 12:52 left in the game.
"It's frustrating, man," said BYU linebacker Brandon Ogletree. "It hurts. It stings. We were right there."
Having intercepted Nelson in the first half on a tipped pass to thwart BYU's opening drive, Notre Dame's Heisman Trophy candidate linebacker, Manti Te'o, said the mood in Notre Dame's locker room wasn't all that celebratory, and noted that the country's fifth-ranked team perhaps got more than it wanted out of the visitors.
The Irish (7-0) gave up an offensive touchdown for the first time in more than four games, a stretch that spanned 17 quarters and an overtime session last week against Stanford. The Cougars took the 14-7 lead after an interception by Van Noy set them up at the ND 30. Nelson's 2-yard TD pass to Kaneakua Friel stood, after a replay review.
"Those 14 points [BYU scored] upset us a lot," Te'o said. "It is not easy to win college football games, especially when you are Notre Dame."
BYU can certainly relate.
R IN SHORT • Failing to score in the second half, the Cougars blow another opportunity to upset a top-ranked team, and they lose 17-14 on the road to No. 5 Notre Dame.
KEY STAT • The Fighting Irish rush for 270 yards against a BYU defense that was previously ranked No. 3 in the country against the run.

Reliever Albers gets rare start vs. Royals
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- One of baseball's long-standing traditions is that starting pitchers typically do not speak to reporters before a game on the day of their scheduled outing. It is not often that a reliever gets to take advantage of this aspect of clubhouse culture.
Matt Albers was reminded of the unwritten rule on Tuesday morning.
"Yeah, that's right," Albers said with a laugh. "I might exercise that right."
For Tuesday's game against Kansas City, Albers was given the ball as Cleveland's starter on a day designed for the team's relievers. Indians manager Terry Francona said Albers got the nod because he felt the pitcher had the ability to stay with his normal approach, even in unusual circumstances.
Albers and right-hander Bryan Shaw were among the relievers who appeared in the Cactus League tilt against the Royals. Both pitchers were acquired from the D-backs on Dec. 11 as part of the nine-player, three-team trade that involved the Reds, and also brought pitcher Trevor Bauer and outfielder Drew Stubbs to the Tribe.
Albers, who is out of Minor League options, is a leading candidate for a spot in Cleveland's bullpen. Shaw is also in the running for one of the few available relief roles, along with the likes of Cody Allen, Frank Herrmann, Nick Hagadone, David Huff, Scott Barnes and Matt Capps, among others.
Albers allowed one run on two hits with one walk and a strikeout in his lone inning of work against the Royals on Tuesday. Shaw also gave up one run in one inning of relief for the Tribe.
"I like the fact that he'll take the ball every day," Francona said of Albers, who pitched for the manager in Boston in 2011. "He can almost survive on one pitch, which is his two-seamer. When it's good, it's got so much life in the zone. But he's durable. Shaw's got that cutter that really has a chance to be a pretty explosive pitch."
Last season, the 30-year-old Albers worked in 63 games between stints with the Red Sox and D-backs, who landed the righty in a July 31 trade with Boston. Albers went 3-1 and posted a 2.39 ERA over 60 1/3 innings, during which he compiled 44 strikeouts and 22 walks.
Shaw had a 3.49 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 64 games for Arizona last season.
"I was excited to be able to come over here," Albers said. "Especially after I saw they made a couple moves, and then later in the offseaso they made even more moves. It was exciting. Coming here with Shaw, knowing him and a couple other guys.
"I've kind of been through the team-changing [process], so I'm kind of used to meeting guys and getting acclimated. I think it's going well here so far. I think I'm fitting in pretty good."

The indices did a very nice job of building on Friday's intraday reversal, but it was much easier to be a seller than a buyer. Many folks who jumped in on weakness last week were using the strength today to lock in good gains, but it was a challenge to put additional money to work. The major comments I heard today were complaints about filling too fast, particularly Apple (AAPL).
What made it even more challenging was that after the first hour of trading, there was very little movement. AAPL continued to run and breadth was extremely strong, but there weren't many gains if you weren't already in the market this morning.
Technically, a low-volume, oversold bounce like this should not be expected to last; however, these bounces have a tendency to last a longer than many think they should as fear of being left behind increases. The sort of action we are seeing today is typical of a bounce within a downtrend. It catches folks by surprise, and as they try to adjust, it provides an underlying bid and keeps the move going. Many market players fear being left out of rally more than anything, and they will pay up even if the entry points don't appear to be ideal.
The big question is whether the rally can continue to run. The market has recouped last week's losses, but it runs into more overhead resistance the further it bounces. The minute it cracks a bit, the rush to protect recent gains will start and the shorts will press, so the danger of a failed bounce builds.
This market has had a strong tendency toward V-shaped moves and almost all of them have started with a lower-volume bounces like this one. It is counterintuitive that a move like this should gain momentum, but it has happened often enough that we can't totally dismiss the idea. In fact, with the market ending at a high, there is likely to be plenty of performance anxiety and nervous shorts to keep things going. I don't intend to fight this strength, but that doesn't mean it's easy to add more longs.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, DC. According to a Cato Institute report released Monday, the U.S. has become overly dependent on foreign turmoil for its conversations and media coverage. "The American people consume as many as 60 million barrels of crude speculation every day, using it for everything from driving discussions to heating up political debates," the report stated. "Unless we can dredge up domestic sources of turmoil, we may end up utterly dependent on the Middle East for conversational fuel."

Sportsbikes are typically a non-event in terms of design. An engineering team working working independently combines whichever mechanical components are currently in vogue, then passes the rolling chassis off to the styling department to have some plastic slapped on it. Even though the Aprilia RSV4 R still had to develop in much the same way, Miguel Galuzzi's design stands out with radical new proportions.
Starting with the drastically small top fairing, function dictates the
look with ram air intakes positioned for maximum air pressure, creating
two separate hemispheres drawn together by the central headlight.
Moving on to the minimal side fairings, they barely conceal the engine
and completely expose the frame, emphasizing its already massive
proportions and centering the entire visual weight of the bike just
below the tank. The tail section then draws things to a close with a
dramatic sweep into a tiny, tiny point. Looking at it as a whole, the
front gives the impression of purpose, the center says "strength" and
the tail makes the whole thing looks like its going 200mph thanks to
the tail. All of that is doubly effective in person, the RSV4 R is tiny
and feels even smaller than the Yamaha R6 when you're onboard.

OROVILLE — Facility and park fee waivers turned into a lengthy discussion Tuesday night with opinions voiced strongly on both sides of the issue.
At the direction of the City Council, staff have been crafting a standard policy for charging and waiving fees charged for renting city buildings and parks.
Over the past two years, the city has waived more than $68,000 in fees at the request of various groups for special events, according to the city report.
At its Jan. 15 meeting, the council authorized a resolution adopting a Facility and Park Fee Waiver with changes. The council directed staff to make the necessary modifications to the code and the Department Policies and Procedures documents.
On Feb. 5, the ordinance came back to the council for possible amendments.
The council adopted the ordinance with changes.
On Tuesday night, the ordinance came back to the council to approve the second reading.
Seven organizations also requested fee waivers Tuesday night.
For the past few years, the council has been waiving all of the fees for small events that benefit the city and a sizable amount of the fees for larger events that benefit the city.
However, Tuesday night, city staff and fur councilors contended the city has a $1.55 million budget deficit and can no longer afford to arbitrarily waive fees.
"We're trying to fill a hole," said Don Rust, director of planning and development services.
While the city is not happy to have a hole in the budget, the hole can't be filled if the city continues not charging to use city facilities, he said.
However, councilors Cheri Bunker, Al Simpson and Jack Berry disagreed that the city should burden small nonprofits, run entirely by volunteers who plan events that benefit the city with fees they can't afford.
The example they provided was the Experimental Aircraft Association that had asked for a fee waiver for an event association rep Howard Fairbanks said benefits the Oroville Municipal Airport and the newly remodeled operator building.
The fees totaled about $443 that Howard said the association and other small nonprofits cannot afford to pay.
The new policy allows the city to wave up to 50 percent of the rental fees. However, fees for police officers and fire personnel to cover events cannot be waived.
That left the association with about a $3,000 fee plus a fee for fire protection during the event.
Kent Fowler representing the Native Sons of the Golden West said the city's new policy of a 50 percent fee waiver still leaves organizations with a more than 50 percent fee than they paid in the past.
Several others came to oppose the fee saying it strapped nonprofit organizations that sponsored events entirely for public benefit.
Pastor Steve Terry of the Oroville Rescue Mission said he understood the city's plight, but the new fee policy would blow the mission's events such as the free community Christmas Eve dinner out of the water.
Councilman Gordon Andoe, however, said the idea is for the user to pay for the cost of using facilities.
Andoe said he participates in board for organizations such as Little League that expect to pay when they use a facility or park.
In addition, Andoe asked the council why they wasted money on staff time to develop a policy they weren't going to adopt.
Councilman David Pittman blamed the state for taking redevelopment agency money that paid portions of many salaries and for now trying to take other money from the city.
Mayor Linda Dahlmeier said staff had done exactly what the council had asked by developing the ordinance.
After more than two hours, Dahlmeier, Andoe, Vice Mayor Thil Chan-Wilcox and Pittman voted to approve the new policy, ordinance and department policy changes.
Bunker, Berry and Simpson voted no.
Staff writer Mary Weston can be reached at 533-4415 or email@example.com.
