China's Diplomacy 2.0 and Hu Xijin
When Global Times' editor Hu Xijin went on Twitter he generated quite a buzz among foreign correspondents and activists in China. The Council on Foreign Relations looks at Hu's tweeting as part of a new paradigm shift in Chinese politics and diplomacy:
A very long discussion in the December 2011 issue of Foreign Affairs Review, the journal of the Foreign Affairs University, provides some context for what Hu's tweeting might be about. The article, entitled "Global Politics in the Web 2.0 Era" is a discussion about how communication technologies are changing politics. The cases cited are the usual ones—the protests after the Iranian elections, the Arab Spring, SMS being used to organize protests against Philippine President Joseph Estrada, the Obama campaign's use of Facebook and other social media—and political dynamics described are also now well known—web 2.0 empowers the individual to spread information, flattens hierarchies, and lowers the cost of mobilizing groups. Democratization and the growth of civil society are trends difficult to control, and as a result China must have a strategy for bringing about gradual change.
Online expression by Chinese netizens, according to the article, can be "immature, aggressive, or empty." But if China can develop an effective legal system and internal controls, resolve complaints from society, urge people to contribute policy suggestions and better understand national conditions, and strengthen the capacity of the state and the Party, then web 2.0 technology should be viewed "at least [as] an opportunity that outweighs the challenges."
There is a foreign policy component of the strategy as well. China must defend its Internet sovereignty. It must raise cybersecurity. It must be on guard against a Wikileak-style strategic crisis. It has to be vigilant against malicious rumors and outside interference. China must oppose America's Internet Freedom agenda, but it also must do more than be reactive. The Chinese government must develop a diplomacy 2.0. The United States and Europe are already using microblogs like Sina Weibo to spread their message within China. During bilateral exchanges, diplomatic negotiations, and international conferences, Chinese officials should use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to spread their policy views. Use of social media will be an important part of building soft power.
See also a related discussion by Elizabeth Economy on how China needs to reset its foreign policy in light of new challenges, including the rise of social media. Read more about China's diplomacy and about Hu Xijin via CDT.

New Zealand
Franks suffers recurrence of back injury
ESPNscrum Staff
April 30, 2011
Ben Franks in action for New Zealand against Ireland © Getty Images
All Blacks prop Ben Franks has suffered a recurrence of the back injury that forced him out of last year's Grand Slam tour of the UK and Ireland.
Franks joined the growing list of Graham Henry's World Cup contenders on the sidelines when he was replaced by his brother Owen during the opening quarter of the Crusaders 42-30 Super Rugby victory over the Western Force in Perth.
He will undergo further medical assessment before the squad heads to South Africa on Sunday but Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder sounded pessimistic about the front rower's prospects of making the trip when quizzed after the match.
"We're holding our breath on him but it's not looking good," Blackadder said. "He felt a bit of a popping sensation there and he's had an injury there before in his lower back."
Last November Franks had to return home before the second leg of the Grand Slam against Scotland after injuring his back during a gym session. He recovered during the off-season and has formed a strong propping unit with his sibling and loose-head Wyatt Crockett.
The trio have been rotated during the Crusaders' 10 matches so far but Crockett and Owen Franks can now expect to log plenty of game time against the Stormers in Cape Town next Sunday and Cheetahs at Bloemfontein the following weekend.
Meanwhile, in more encouraging personnel news for the Blackadder, No.8 Kieran Read's two weeks of rest and recuperation has expired so he will play the Stormers. Daniel Carter is also expected to return at first five-eighth after being unavailable with a hamstring strain.

Total number of locations?
The officical strategy guide claims that there are 350+ primary locations in Skyrim.
I have found 340 locations sofar. I have put quite some effort in exploring empty parts of the map, but this is how far I got. Anyone closer to the magical 350?
Have you checked Skyrim's map on GameBanshee?
Impressive work, but it doesn't say how many locations are found.
With the 340 locations I am referring to the in-game statistics.
Wow there's way more stuff at the extreme perimeter than I thought. I'm only 50 or so hours in though. I'm a slooow player.
I have put the index of the GameBanshee map into MS-Word to do some statistics: 343 entries !
I'm still finding new places after 600 hours. I've never purposely tried to find everything though, but this game I'll probably do that. I get a lot of repetition because I've played several different characters and also restarted several games with the same character. I tend to always play the mage questlines, for instance.
To get 600 gamehours since the release you must have played this game for 8 hours per each day, every day.
But how places did you actually find?
I don't have the guide. Actually I don't see the fun of "finding" locations using a printed map. I prefer exploring the game myself and that's how I have discovered 340 locations. Without peeking to any map or whatsoever.
I remember that in Fallout 3 there were some hidden locations. These would not show a marker on the compass. Just wondering if this also the case for some locations in Skyrim.
I thought I had explored most of the locations. :/
I noticed when I first started playing I had a tendency to follow every black icon that would pop up on the compass and I imagine I unlocked a lot of locations that way.
Later I tried tweaking the .ini file to disable the compass and I have been deriving a lot more enjoyment out of the exploration aspect of the game as a result. (And discovering far fewer locations, but it's a bit more rewarding this way.)
If you're truly curious, I could load saves and tell you how many locations each character found, but the overall total would be much, much higher but the game doesn't track that way, I don't believe.

Urban America: The new Solid South
Ever since the 1930s, most urban areas have leaned Democratic. But in presidential elections, many remained stubbornly competitive between the two parties. As late as 1988, for example, Republican nominees won Dallas County and made strong showings in the core urban counties of Cook (Chicago), Los Angeles and King (Seattle).
Today, America's urban areas have evolved into a political monoculture that increasingly resembles the "solid South" that provided a base for Democrats from the late 19th century to the 1960s. Since 1972, the year of the Nixon landslide, the Democratic share has grown 20 percent or more in most of the largest urban counties.
Story Continued Below
As a result, places where Republicans such as Ronald Reagan could once win a respectable share of the vote — including San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York City — by 2004 were delivering 80 percent or more to the Democrats. Even in the losing year of 2004, Democratic nominee John F. Kerry won almost every city of more than 500,000 people.
This fall, Barack Obama, a resident of Chicago, can comfortably expect to triumph in virtually every major urban county, often by ratios of 2-to-1 or more. He can count just as much on cities in decline as he can on those that have been gentrified; he will rack up big margins both in heavily white core counties such as those around Minneapolis and Portland, Ore., as well as overwhelmingly minority Baltimore, Philadelphia and the Bronx, N.Y.
Race and income levels do not explain the emerging urban monoculture, because the cause lies elsewhere: in the evolution of cities over the past four decades. The shift began in the late 1960s, when urban regions, from financial centers such as New York and Chicago to old industrial cities such as Detroit and Cleveland, began to suffer a massive exodus of predominantly white, middle-class residents.
This left behind an increasingly impoverished, highly minority population with very little proclivity to support conservative or even moderate Republicans. Today in some cities — mostly old industrial centers in the East and Midwest — this population remains dominant and is likely to vote in huge numbers for Obama. Most of these cities suffer poverty rates at least 50 percent higher than the national average.
At the same time, some other cities — such as New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland — have done far better. They have done so by attracting a population of well-educated, white professionals. Pockets of this demographic, to be sure, also exist in some hard-hit industrial cities, but the new urban affluents tend to concentrate in cities with industries, such as financial services and media, that provide excitement and the prospect of high-wage employment in a glamorous setting.
Many new urbanites tend to be students or professionals enjoying city life during their first, highly experimental years of adulthood. At this point, they are most open to liberal ideas and causes; they have yet to worry much about taxes and crime, issues that drive people to the center. As they grow older, marry and raise families, many in this cohort — particularly those who do not ascend into the upper classes — leave the urban core for the suburbs or other more affordable regions.

In past years, Tucson has played host to the annual spring training for Major League Baseball. Teams such as the Chicago White Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies have constantly been coming here to Tucson for their spring training.
Last year was the first time in over 50 years that the famous spring training was not held in Tucson. Instead, it was moved to bigger cities like Phoenix, letting down Tucson fans and making businesses feel the economic impact. This was an especially hard hit to Tucson because of the lack of professional sports teams here. Although Tucsonans love watching UofA sports, it's not the same as watching professional sports.
However, Tucson has bounced back in classic fashion with a huge addition coming in the near future.
Six Major League Soccer (MLS) teams will arrive this month for their first-ever training time right here in Tucson.
Out of the six teams that are coming, the Los Angeles Galaxy, the New England Revolution, the New York Red Bulls and Real Salt Lake will all be playing in the Desert Diamond Cup.
The New York Times projects that this two-week tournament could bring in up to 50,000 fans, and that is great news for Tucson hotels and restaurants.
With this new soccer phenomena comes a lot of excitement. Richard Elías, a member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, which owns the facilities where the teams will play was quoted in the New York Times as saying, "We're excited about soccer because baseball really let us down, let down the community."
In some ways, Tucson is the perfect destination for soccer. Although it is not the most popular sport in the U.S, soccer is wildly popular around the world, including in Mexico. Last year, thousands of Mexican soccer fans came to Tucson to see the Red Bulls and Sporting K.C. play an exhibition match. The large Latino population in Tucson and Southern Arizona is also expected to bring their enthusiasm for soccer and to attend the games.
What many people don't know is that soccer is a booming sport, more so than baseball.
According to The Economist, soccer is by far the most popular sport worldwide. Nothing really compares to its fan base in terms of numbers and enthusiasm. With soccer on the rise around the U.S, there is every reason to believe it will be successful in Tucson.
This new excitement of six Major League Soccer teams will bring crowds in, and will also attract new fans to the game of soccer. After a few years of soccer in Tucson, Tucsonans will forget what spring training even was.
You can check out what all the hype is about on Feb. 22 at Kino Sports Complex, when the New England Revolution take on the LA Galaxy at 6 p.m. to kick-off the soccer craze.

Creating Waves of Awareness
Curious as to how your insulin resistant [IR] horses are treated? I have an acute interest in finding ways to help these horses as there are, IMO, just way too many of them in recent years.
I always believed IR to be a 'senior' state but i
n the last decade have seen more and more 3 and 4 year old colts succumbing to this 'dis-ease'. While I work to help relieve the condition by removing ALL processed foods and feeding only 'live' food coupled with exercise (with excellent results) I'd be interested to know if any of you are treating strictly homeopathically and what are your results?
Views: 448
Agree 100%. One reason why I've removed all processed feeds from my herd (diet) and feed fresh 'salads'. I also add herbs when needed. The mare who was strongly IR and Cushings really had a remarkable response to this. Clients' horses for whom I care, all have had great responses, too! Blood tests have shown that numbers go back to 'normal'. Hooves become unbelievably strong; coats shine; eyes bright and personalities calmed. I advocate ALL critters taken off processed foods as much as humanely possible.
Well, I have never seen a case, but the horses I treat are fed with Barley and Oat hay. They eat a little processed food. They usually get a some lucerne (fresh or dry) and carrots. Grains can be dangerous I know, but concentrate foods are worse.
Greetings from Mexico.

Help with Gull Identification, please...
Expand Messages
- I was at Sausalito on January 24 during the Herring run and I photographed a third cycle dark gull with a very light iris. At first I thought strongly it was a Slaty-backed Gull and later I was leaning towards Western Gull. I just finished looking at the pictures I took that day and I have now posted six pictures of the bird on my Website and I would like your opinion of which species of Gull this bird is. You can view the pictures at:
Please let me know what you think and if possible, please include what field marks you are using to make your identification so I can learn from this.

Traffic SafetyBuckle Up America!
· Traffic crashes kill over 40,000 people a year
. Traffic crashes are the #1 cause of child deaths.
· Every 9 seconds someone in America is injured in a traffic crash and every 13 minutes someone is killed.
· Two-thirds of the drivers and passengers killed in traffic crashes are not buckled up.
· Everyday in America, around 900 children are injured and seven are killed in car crashes. Half of those killed would have been alive today if they had been properly protected.
· The cost of traffic crashes to all of us as a society is $150 Billion every year.
Car Seats:
Car seats come in many sizes and designs. There is no "best" seat. The best seat for you is the one you'll use every time your child rides in your car. There are four basic types of car seats.
Infant Seats are specially built for babies up to 20 pounds, or about 7 to 9 months old. These tub-shaped beds are easy to use, inexpensive, and fit most cars.
Toddler Seats are designed for children who have outgrown the infant seat and can sit up without support. They can be used for children who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds.
Convertible Seats function both as infant carriers and toddler seats. Although they cost more, you can use the same seat from infancy until your child outgrows it around age four or 40 pounds.
Booster Seats fill the gap between when your child outgrows a car seat and when the child is able to use only a seat belt. Many seatbelts do not properly fit children and may increase the risk of injury during a crash. Booster seats provide a safe, inexpensive transition for children between 40 and 80 pounds.
It is easy to use a car seat correctly if you follow three simple steps...
1. Sit Right.
2. Seat Right.
3. Belt Right.
1. Sit Right.
Car seats are designed to hold the child in place and absorb the impact of a crash by spreading the forces over the stronger parts of a child's body. For these reasons, it's critical that your child is sitting correctly in a car seat that is facing the right direction. To do it right, follow these simple rules...
Infant seats should face backwards with the baby riding in a semi-reclined position.
Toddler and booster seats should face forward, with the child sitting upright.
Convertible seats should be used facing backwards with a recline in the infant position, and upright and forward facing in the toddler position.
2. Seat Right
. Your child must be secured within the seat itself by the harness and/or straps. If not, the child could be thrown from the seat during a crash and hit the car's interior surfaces. The child could also be ejected from the car. Here are some important points to remember...
Always snugly and completely fasten the harness. In most seats, the harness goes over the child's shoulders and through the legs.
With toddler seats, don't be fooled by models that have a U-shaped, padded armrest. This is only a cosmetic feature. Always fasten the harness.
In convertible seats, thread the harness differently for the infant and the toddler positions. The manufacturer's instructions explain how.
Booster seats may come with their own harness or use the car's lap/shoulder belt. In either case, always secure the child with an upper body restraint.
3. Belt Right
. Failing to correctly anchor the seat in the car as recommended by the manufacturer has resulted in seats tipping over, sliding sideways or being ejected from the car completely. It has also resulted in many children being hurt or killed. Anchoring the car seat properly is critical to the seat's performance in a crash.
Convertible and booster seats require extra attention since the car's seat belt is routed differently in each position.
Older seats sometimes require a tether strap attached to the top of the seat and the frame of the car. If you are unsure of the directions for anchoring your car seat, call the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office at
(918) 596-5706
or contact the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office at
(405) 523-1571
What the Oklahoma Mandatory Child Restraint law means...
· All drivers, transporting a child four (4) years of age weighing sixty (60) pounds or less shall protect that child by properly using a child passenger restraint system. Children four (4) or five (5) years of age can be protected by use of either a child passenger restraint system or a safety belt.
· Vehicles not equipped with safety belts are exempt from the law, as are non-resident drivers. A child medically unable to wear a safety belt because of a medical condition can also be exempt with a signed, written notification from a physician. The law also does not apply to the drivers of emergency vehicles, such as ambulances.
· Law enforcement officers can stop and subsequently ticket a driver for violation of this law.
TRIAD Cooperative Agreement
A TRIAD is a three-way effort among a county's sheriff, police chief and the AARP or older/retired leadership in the area to work together to reduce the criminal victimization of older citizens and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to this population.
The signing of the state TRIAD Cooperative Agreement of Oklahoma took place September 29, at the Fifth Annual Governor's Conference on Crime in Tulsa.
The TRIAD Cooperative Agreement of Oklahoma was signed by National Sheriff's Association (NSA) Crime Prevention Committee Chairman, Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz; Governor Frank Keating; Attorney General Drew Edmonson; American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) State Director, James E. Schaffner; International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) President, John Whetsel, Oklahoma Sheriffs' and Peace Officers' Association President, Russ Higbie; Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association President, Bill Noland and Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police President, Jim Huffman.
A TRIAD provides an opportunity for the exchange of information between law enforcement and senior citizens and focuses on reducing unwarranted fear of crime and improving the quality of life for seniors. A TRIAD is tailored to meet the needs of each town/city/county and is governed by Seniors and Lawmen Together (S.A.L.T) a senior advisory council.
Also attending the three-day conference, held at the Downtown Tulsa Doubletree, was Special Agent in Charge of the Oklahoma City FBI Bob Ricks. Ricks formerly served as Deputy Assistant Director of the Criminal Investigative Division (CID) in Washington, D.C.
In 1988, the AARP, IACP and the NSA signed a cooperative agreement to work together to reduce both criminal and victimization and unwarranted fear of crime affecting older persons.
The three national organizations agreed police chiefs, sheriffs, older leaders and those who work with senior citizens, working together, could devise better ways to reduce crimes against the elderly and enhance law enforcement services to older citizens.
All three organizations shared the common goal - true community policing, providing better service to a population which appreciates, respects and supports law enforcement.

Thousands drawn to landmark papal exhibit
A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and The Jewish People runs through July 15 before moving to D.C. | July 6, 2005
From third-graders to church and synagogue groups, about 100 people a day are visiting the exhibit. And following in the late pontiff's footsteps, groups such as the Jewish Community Federation and Cathedral Heritage Foundation of Louisville are coming together to see the exhibit.
"Some people are coming more than once," says Anastasia Nurre, exhibit manager. "And it's not unusual for people to be so moved they have tears in their eyes as they leave." Nurre also says calls are coming in from all over the country from organizations asking about hosting Blessing.
The exhibit runs through July 15. It then moves to the John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C., where an opening is planned for mid-September. It will later tour Catholic and Jewish colleges and universities and other venues in the United States before traveling to Europe and becoming a permanent display in Israel.
The 1,500 square-foot exhibition, located at the A.B. Cohen Center, takes its name from the pope's commemoration in 1993 of the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The exhibition includes photos, artifacts and videos documenting the pope's history with the Jewish people.
Visitors walk through several rooms representing various stages of the pope's life, including one from his childhood. There is also an interactive area where visitors can write prayers that will be taken to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
"Throughout the world, he has built a bridge that we hope only will continue to be strengthened and will carry the foot traffic of people committed to peace and brotherhood for generations to come," says Rabbi Abie Ingber, executive director of the local Hillel Jewish Student Center of Cincinnati. "This exhibition tries to anchor that bridge as firmly as possible."

Rios' two homers secure series victory
Rios' two homers secure series victory
They hold up especially strong during these final days of the regular season, when every inning matters during races toward the postseason.
Cliché or not, those sayings have become words of wisdom for the American League Central-leading White Sox (74-62). Take these past six games as an example.
With a 6-2 victory over the Twins on Wednesday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field, the White Sox claimed the series win against Ron Gardenhire's crew. It was a win that kept the White Sox in sole possession of first place for yet another day and put the pressure on Detroit to avoid a home sweep at the hands of the struggling Indians and stay one game behind.
It was just three days ago when the Tigers seemed to gain all the momentum in the division via a weekend sweep of the White Sox, and it was about 12 hours ago when the Twins (56-81) hung an 18-spot on the South Siders. Putting those games quickly in the rearview mirror allowed the White Sox to stay where they are, looking down at the rest of the division.
"We can't promise any results, but we've said it over and over and I'll stand by this comment," said White Sox starter Jake Peavy, who reached 10 wins for the first time since 2008 with a victory in Wednesday's finale. "It's because of our manager and our leadership, this team will not get down and I don't care how many we lose in a row, how tough of a defeat. I don't care how it happens.
"If we go out and get beat or make careless mistakes, we will come back and wipe the slate clean the next day and pull for each other and do all we can do that day to find a way to win. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. This team has that mentality. We will not waiver from it. We have enough veteran guys who bought into it."
Wednesday's victory was courtesy of Peavy and right fielder Alex Rios.
Peavy (10-10) allowed just one run over six innings, striking out three and walking one in 107 pitches. His effort ended a personal five-start streak without a victory, dating back to a winning decision over the Twins on Aug. 1 at Target Field.
In fact, Peavy's last three victories all have come against the Twins. That individual result didn't factor into the veteran's decision to count this day as a success.
"For me, personally, to get a win, that means absolutely nothing," Peavy said. "I can honestly tell you that. But for us to win a series like we did today and put the pressure on Detroit to have to win tonight to stay one back, it was big for us to win the series. We have to win series from here on out."
"Just outstanding, to be able to keep them at bay after what they did to us yesterday," said reliever Matt Thornton, who pitched a scoreless eighth, of Peavy. "One run over six innings and then the bullpen came and did the job. It's a good win for us."
Rios, meanwhile, provided more offense with one swing of the bat than the White Sox did as a unit in four of Peavy's starts during the month of August. His second career grand slam came in the first inning against P.J. Walters (2-3), following Dewayne Wise's single, walks to Kevin Youkilis and Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko's popout to second.
Walters' afternoon then came to a close when Rios connected on his second homer in the sixth, with Konerko on first after drawing a walk. Rios set a career high with the six RBIs and with 82 on the season is six short of matching his single-season best, set in 2010. He also recorded his sixth career multihomer game and third of 2012.
"Take Rios out of the game and we're still playing," Gardenhire said. "But you can't take him out of the game because he took us out of it."
"I just got a few good pitches and I connected well, so that's all you can hope," Rios aid. "Hit the ball hard and see what happens."
Minnesota scored its first run in the third on Eduardo Escobar's sacrifice fly, marking his fourth RBI against the team that traded him for Francisco Liriano. But Peavy stranded runners at first and third when Joe Mauer lined out hard to Rios on a 3-1 pitch.
Two bloop hits in the fourth from Ryan Doumit and Chris Parmelee put runners on first and third with one out. But a fired up Peavy retired Trevor Plouffe on an infield popup to Youkilis and Matt Carson on a grounder to shortstop Alexei Ramirez to keep the inning scoreless.
Peavy's performance was a needed effort for the White Sox rotation, as the starters had produced a 7.47 ERA over the previous eight games. But as the White Sox have stressed from the start of Spring Training, the past has no direct effect on the present.
Everything centers on the game at hand. When the White Sox take the field Friday against the Royals, they are guaranteed to be a first-place team thanks to that attitude.
"You come back out and get four in the first, so it was a big boost, and then Jake pitched great," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He's the kind of guy you want after a game like that. He came out and battled, and Rios hits a couple homers. Things look all right again."

The state could spend millions of your tax dollars to pay for a perk for state lawmakers that has virtually no oversight.
Some state lawmakers, who have been in office for 20, 30 even 40 years, have never taken a sick day. As a result, they've accumulated benefits worth tens of thousands of your tax dollars that can be used to buy health insurance after they retire.
"That's just outrageous," said Richard Parins, president of the Brown County Taxpayers Association.
When asked if he is surprised to hear that some legislators haven't taken a sick day in 30 or 40 years, Parins replied, "That's an awfully healthy person."
The program started in the early 1970s. Lawmakers, like other state employees, can bank the sick days they don't use. When they retire, they can convert those unused sick days to health insurance. The big difference for lawmakers? No one is monitoring how or if they use their sick time.
Lawmakers self-report their sick time to the clerk's office and to human resources, but there is no approval or review process.
Some lawmakers have massive benefits waiting for them once they retire.

FOX 11 Investigates requested sick leave information for state lawmakers from Northeast Wisconsin who have been in office for at least the last 10 years.
State Sen. Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) was elected to the Legislature in 1970 and has never taken a sick day. Under the state's sick leave program, Ellis has earned $136,607.12 he can use to buy health insurance.
There's nothing that says the lawmakers have to spend the money. But it is set aside for them to use if they choose to use it.
In 2007, Ellis co-sponsored legislation to end the perk.
So what does Ellis think about the program now, after he announced that he's not seeking re-election? FOX 11 Investigates wanted to know whether Ellis plans on using any of his benefit. While he is usually not too shy about talking with the media, he would not speak with FOX 11 Investigates for this story. His office said he was out of town and unavailable for any interviews.
Ellis' colleague, State Sen. Rob Cowles (R-Green Bay), did speak with FOX 11 Investigates.
"When I first heard about this several years ago I was sort of shocked that it even existed," Cowles said.
Cowles, who was elected in 1982, has also never called in sick. He has a benefit worth $103,788.88 that he can use for health insurance when he retires.
"I've always felt we're on salary and we're supposed to be there and there's been times I've been ill and I've just gutted it out quite frankly," Cowles said. "There have been a few times I probably should've been in bed but I went through with it anyhow."
Cowles has also tried to get rid of the benefit in the past. He co-sponsored two bills in 2007 that would have eliminated the program for legislators. Those bills went nowhere.
When asked if the benefit makes sense, Cowles replied, "My gut feeling is it's too much."
Cowles says he's never thought about using the benefit when he leaves office.
Parins says he understands why regular state workers get sick leave, but not politicians, who set their own schedule and report their own sick time.
"I think the general public, when they see these numbers, the hair on their necks going to stand up and go, why do they get this at all? Why should they be allowed to accumulate such a large amount of money," Parins said.
According to a memo from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau back in 2011, the unused sick time for state lawmakers was valued at $2,888,800. That's an average of $21,900 for every member of the Legislature.
Each year, the state sets aside $79,100, or about $600 per lawmaker, to fund for the program.
The state does not have any current data about how often the benefit is used.
"There's no doubt. It's a perk," said State Rep. Dean Kaufert (R-Neenah). He has taken four hours of sick time during his 24 years in the Assembly. He's leaving Madison to serve as the mayor of Neenah.
Kaufert's $72,070.96 benefit will be transferred into an account until he retires.
"I may or may not utilize those dollars. We'll just have to wait and see," Kaufert said. He added that the program should be reviewed.
The last time the Legislature looked in this issue was 2007. And, as we said, it went nowhere.
But after we started asking questions, some lawmakers told us they would consider taking another look at it. In fact, Cowles says he plans to have the legislative fiscal bureau research the benefit and see how it compares to other states and to the private sector.

Google Tests New Drop Down Navigation Bar From Google + Logo
Google Operating System reports a finding by guao.hk where Google is testing a new top bar navigation bar that may replace the navigation bar we have today.
As you can see, there is a little arrow down mark on the right of the Google + logo. Clicking on it drops down this black bar with the various Google logos.
What you cannot see in this image, but in the images shared by guao.hk is the new sharing section of the bar on the top right.
I am not sure if this interface is a test just for the Google + design or for the global Google top bar. I guess time will tell.
I would think many users wouldn't notice that little down arrow and miss the other navigation and services options offered by Google.
Postscript: Within 24 hours after posting this, Google is testing yet another new design and it was reported by Google Operating System again. Here is a picture:

Hopefully that means less swearing and more flanking.
It'd be so nice if the AI was smart enough to execute their tactics without telling us about them... oh wait, that's not really the consoles fault.
See what I did there?
Seriously though, a powerhouse for AI processing would be shweet.
Hey, you guys ever played F.E.A.R. it had pretty mean AI. Nice balance of aural warnings and actual (but not always) intelligent action.
well I wouldn't give them points for problem solving or anything, but on occasion I remember getting flanked by a "team" of Replica and having to adapt on the spot, there was never an abundance of warning. Like in Conviction the enemy literally yell their plan at you several times before even moving close to your position, it's such an immersion breaker and so obvious that it's pampering for players who have an unnaturally low awareness level.
And the Replica actually had the ability to sit quietly around corners and ambush you. They felt like pro enemies who worked as a team and really wanted you dead.
Hmm, I feel all nostalgic now. F.E.A.R. is totally still one of my fav FPS
in a stealth gameplay,you sees what AI supposed dont, you can learn or predict their next moves. so players can make plans to dodge them. pre and post detection.
in that case, assume AI arent gonna coming in the same location one by one to be punch in the face like sometimes in SCC.
at least you can protect yourself somehow by avoid AIs assaults strategy, say like if they're bout to rushing your position from multi direction,
some how players should able to sense that and go hides, messy but player can still figure out a way to continue the game, not sits in a shadowed cover position and dont know whats going on(if you dont have sonar wallhecks) than suddenly gets sprayed by three different enemies.
the LKP outline can serve this purpose, but too gamey and unreal, but purpose is the same, you see you leaves a LKP outline, you know to get away from it cuz thats where AI goes.
indeed the LKP ghost + wallhecks + AI yelling in the same game is stupidly redundant. leave only one will be just fine.
I'll say AI talks will be the best, just not yelling. that make every AI looks like a cheap thug payed 2$/hrs, instead gives player ability to overhears their radio like pre-detected in SCC.
before they go full on assault, they share your location and coordinate for few seconds. thats your cue to react.
and make sure AI dont take turns sticking to the same cover one after another and all with half of their brains still visible waits for your pop shot, even tho 3 trap-indicating dead bodies already laying on the that position, if an AI saw a teammate getting kill/KO, they should know the position is exposed and need to be avoid.
NOTE: To female readers....it may seem like I dislike kids..but I actually love them. Hence my attractiveness rating should NOT be negatively impacted by the above statement and should remain at 33 trillion...which is the highest ever...on Earth...and Russia.

A collegiate baseball tripleheader is set for today at Tech Field, with the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys participating in two of the intersectional games.
Nationally ranked Central Missouri State and Northeastern State of Oklahoma will open the day's festivities at 12:30 p.m. Tech will then take on Central Missouri at 3 p.m. and will face Northeastern State at 5:30 p.m.
The Wonder Boys are coming off a 1-3 weekend series with Southern Arkansas, one that left them holding a 5-8 overall showing for what has been a rather chilly start to the spring season.
But Tech (5-8) enters the game on a positive note, thanks to a scoreless, three-hit pitching effort by true freshman Dennis Jones in Sunday's 7-1 win over Southern Arkansas.
The Muleriders, one of the preseason favorites in the Gulf South's West Division, had tacked a trio of losses to Tech prior to Sunday's finale - 5-1, 11-0 and 3-2. The Wonder Boys, however, answered with a strong showing in pounding out 10 hits - including three by Logan Critz - against three SAU pitchers and putting this one away early with a pair of runs in each of the first three innings of play.
Jones turned in a solid mound performance for five full innings, giving up two singles and one double to a Mulerider batting corps that was averaging nine hits per game.
Tech will carry a team .294 batting average into today's games, a column headed up by Daniel Lunney (.421), Jake Dickinson (.404), Ryan White (.375), Critz (.364) and Matthew Threet (.300).
Central Missouri (5-2) was ranked as the No. 3 team in the nation at the start of the season. Thus far into the spring, the Mules are hitting at a .322 clip. Junior Joe Strada heads up the Missouri hitting attack with a .500 batting average, with Danny Guidry next at .458.
The Mules' pitching corps, averaging 7.1 strikeouts per game, will bring a 4.14 ERA into the series.
Actually, Central Missouri has seven returning pitchers and four position starters off a team that finished 54-8 and placed third in the NCAA Division II World Series.
Northeastern State is off to a 6-5 start after finishing 31-20 a year ago.
Tanner Altares has been the top hitter for the Redmen thus far, batting at a.485 clip. Chris Leaf (.429) and Chad Gilley (.400) help top off a crew that will bring a .292 batting average into Tech Field.
As for the pitching staff, the Redmen hurlers have put together a 3.89 ERA.
Tech's games against Central Missouri and Northeastern State will serve as a warmup for its next Gulf South Conference weekend series, which opens Saturday in Arkadelphia against Henderson State.
The Wonder Boys and Reddies will play two seven-inning games on both Saturday and Sunday, beginning at noon each day.

If you already started your NM process and your key was accepted for identification, when you finish NM, DAM will request us to add your key to the keyring. We might not love adding a new 1024D key, but we will do it (as we trust the process started before the deadline we set). You can otherwise also ask your AM to re-do the identification part with your new key - The process will be up to him. In any case, if he accepted your 1024D key, you can present a mail signed with your OLD key, stating the full fingerprint for both keys and the reasons for the change. Do this when the new key has already been signed by a DD. Please note that, although your key can be accepted as new with only one signature, in order to replace your key we require two (to protect your identity to be "stolen" by a single evil-minded DDs. Yes, we do have evil-minded DDs!)

"And, now that the deadline has passed, the White House is 'claiming' that they met their goal," the actor playing the show's Steve Doocy said.
"But, look at our Fox News chart," SNL's Elisabeth Hasselbeck said. "As you can see Obama needed to get 7 million new subscribers and he only got 7.1 million. Not even close."
The actor playing host Brian Kilmeade then showed off his version of a "pie chart."
Later in the segment, the "Fox & Friends" crew welcomed Neil DeGrasse Tyson as the "science guy," who insisted to the hosts that science has unequivocally determined the globe is warming.
"It is an indisputable fact that the earth is getting warmer," he said.
SNL's Doocy quickly dismissed him, however, citing the polar vortex and Coca-Cola's happy, soda-drinking mascot.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Ted Brekken, a researcher in renewable energy at Oregon State University, has been named the Outstanding Young Engineer by the IEEE Power and Energy Society, a branch of the world's largest engineering association.
The award recognizes his achievements in teaching, research and outreach to the community, and includes a $2,000 scholarship fund which he will give to OSU.
Brekken, an OSU assistant professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and co-director of the Wallace Energy Systems and Renewables Facility, does research on wind and wave technologies, energy storage and the large-scale integration of renewable energy onto the grid. He also teaches a course on renewable energy at Linn-Benton Community College that is open to the public, and lectures in a series on renewable energy at the Corvallis-Benton County Library.
"I am hoping to remove obstacles that are preventing us from using more renewable energy," Brekken said. "The wind may not be blowing when we have an immediate energy need, such as heating our home – so we have to take a variable resource and make it match our energy needs."

Deja blue: Emmons off target again
Czech Republic's Katerina Emmons shares a moment with her husband Matt Emmons of the US after striking gold in Beijing. (AP Photo)
- |
BEIJING - American Matt Emmons aimed at the target - his own, this time.
Four years ago, he lost a gold medal by shooting at someone else's, and he wasn't about to make that mistake again.
No, this story was going to have the happiest of endings. Emmons needed less than 7 points. Hit the target anywhere near the middle, and the gold medal that got away in Athens would be his.
He raised his gun. He prepared to fire. And . . .
Somehow, Emmons's gun went off before he had focused it on the center of the target. The result: an abysmal score of 4.4.
For the second straight Olympics, Emmons had forfeited a gold medal with a catastrophic mistake on the final shot of the three-position rifle. His misfire yesterday gave the gold to China's Qiu Jian. Emmons fell to fourth, and was left to explain the cosmic misfortune that has followed him through two Olympics.
He did not scream, or sulk. He reacted with the good humor of a man who knows from experience that stuff happens.
"It accidentally went off, that's pretty much it," Emmons said. "I shot a great match. It's just a crazy thing that happens."
Goateed and affable, Emmons is a New Jersey native and four-time national rifle champion at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. A favorite to win at Athens, he took home a gold medal in the 50-meter prone rifle competition. The three-position rifle that year came down to the last shot; leading by 3 points, all he needed was to come close to the bull's-eye to win.
But shooting in Lane 2, he fired at the target in Lane 3.
For four years, Emmons kept his mistake in perspective. These things happen, he would say. At one point, he even suggested that his error had brought good publicity to the sport.
Besides, immediately after that blunder, Emmons met an attractive shooter from the Czech Republic who came over to offer encouragement. Matt and Katerina Emmons married last year.
And then, yesterday.
Yesterday, for nine shots, Emmons set up patiently - his score was often one of the last to show up on the scoreboard.
"The way I come into a target is I start above the target and come down from 12 o'clock and get into the bull's-eye," he said. "And as I get down into the bull's-eye is when I start to get on the trigger."
On yesterday's last shot, "As I was starting to get on the trigger, the gun just went off," he said.
"I was like, 'Uh, that's not going to be good.' "
The most points a shooter can earn for a shot is 10.9; anything below 8.0 is considered bad. A 4.4? That doesn't happen unless something goes terribly wrong.
Jury Sukhorukov of Ukraine won the silver and Rajmond Debevec of Slovenia took the bronze.
It turned out Emmons had needed only a 6.7 on the last shot to win. A 9.3 would have set the Olympic record. His worst shot in the final round to that point was a 9.7.

RIPPED Rylan Clark delivers a knockout blow to his tormentors declaring: "I
was fat, ginger and gay … but look at me now!"
The X Factor star, notorious for his outrageous performances on the show, has
told how he's banished memories of bullies making his life a misery because
of his looks and sexual orientation.
Yet, in an interview with Now magazine, he also tells of how he has faced a
new barrage of abuse, this time via Twitter.
The 23-year-old, who openly admits he's not the best singer on the X Factor,
said: "There's been loads of homophobic stuff and death threats.
"I was blocking everyone. I nearly came off Twitter altogether. But when
you get one positive tweet it's worth it.
"I get loads of messages from 16-year-old gay lads saying they've come
out to their parents because of me.
"I didn't realise going on the show would help someone else other than
Rylan also told how supportive former Take That star Robbie Williams was when
they met on the show.
He said: "He's the ultimate man in the world. Not only did Robbie tweet
about me, but when he shouted during his Candy performance: 'Vote Rylan!' I
thought: 'Rob, you legend!' I gave him a massive kiss.
"Gary [Barlow] said: 'He's just doing it to wind me up'. But Robbie said
to me: 'You don't realise – I want you in my life one way or the other'. I
was like: 'Godparent?' And he said: 'Sorted'.
"I said: 'If it doesn't work out with Ayda [Field], you and me will run
away together'. And he said: 'I'm bang up for that'. So watch this space!"
And Rylan also revealed that his close pal Katie Price is coping just fine
after her recent split from Leandro Penna.
He added: "Katie's very headstrong. She's been around too long to take
second best. If she's not happy with something, she'll change it.
"She's single and ready to mingle, until she finds someone to be with."

Commerce Minister Kamal Nath said on Wednesday his ministry had not received any representation for scrapping the export-oriented unit status to Reliance Industries' Jamnagar refinery.
Scrapping of the EoU status to petroleum refineries was one of the demands of the Samajwadi Party after it decided to support the United Progressive Alliance government, which is set to face a trust motion in the Lok Sabha.
"Amar Singh had met me, but there were no discussions on the EoU issue," said the commerce minister. Nath said everyone has the right to demand changes but it did not mean that the government would act on it.

Re: Amare for Pau
Amare fits in LA if he and Howard are constantly running the pick n' roll. It honestly just doubles the problems for the other team. As long as Amare runs back hard it wouldn't be a problem. He's got the jumpshot and he can iso if the floor is spread. Dwight becomes the only guy to regularly worry about getting the ball in the post. Amare can use those Hakeem moves in an open floor space.
If both are back to being themselves, Gasol is the better player. He might also fit the Knicks better, but I honestly don't want him. Age is not an issue. Contract is not an issue. Quality is not an issue. Even him working with Melo or in the spotlight is not an issue. We have Kidd. I'm sure Gasol would get his. I just don't feel like having any Pau in my life.

Ibanez RG
The Ibanez RG line remains one of the best-selling guitar models in history, more than 20 years after it was introduced. Favored by metal and shred heads like Steve Vai for their wicked good looks, lightning-fast necks and incredible tone, RG guitars also lend themselves well to just about any style of music, having been used to great effect by everyone from prog-rockers like Dream Theater's John Petrucci to alternative darling Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction fame. The RG line began in the 1980s as the Roadster Guitar, designed be workhorse instruments that would appeal to the metal players of the burgeoning shred scene of the time, well-suited to studio work as well as touring. The RG guitars of today continue that tradition, and have evolved into various models, fine-tuned for the ever-changing needs of the modern working musician, ranging from the top-of-the-line RG Prestige and Premium to the more affordable RG Tremolo and RG Fixed models, as well as 7- and 8-string guitars, the RGD drop-tuned metal monsters, and the recent RG 25th Limited Edition line.
While Ibanez RGs are available in a wide variety of configurations, a few elements common to most guitars in the line are the super-thin, ultra-fast Wizard necks, loaded with 24 jumbo frets for two full octaves of shredding madness, and, in keeping with the so-called super-Strat tradition, a divebomb-worthy whammy system, such as the Edge Zero II. The RG Fixed series, however, as the name implies, is loaded with a fixed bridge, for improved sustain and tuning stability. Pickup configurations are generally either dual humbuckers, or humbucker-single coil-humbucker, and the RGA guitars feature arched tops. Beyond that, looking at the model name will give you a clue as to the various features. The RG Prestige is the top of the line, crafted in Japan with the highest-quality materials and workmanship. The Premium line is also crafted in Japan with premium-quality materials and complemented with choice features like USA-made DiMarzio pickups for plenty of screaming tone, hand-rolled fret edges, with some models also boasting a visually stunning quilted maple top. The RG 25th Limited Edition series features many of the most popular RG design elements over the years, such as the Wizard neck, the Edge Zero II whammy, high-output pickups, and an 80s-worthy fluorescent pink finish is even available, if you're so inclined! The RGD models are designed for down-tuning, and feature a longer 26.5 scale length neck and pickups designed to get the most growl out of that bottom end. The RG Tremolo and Fixed are lower-cost versions of the Japanese-made guitars, with either a fixed bridge, or a Floyd Rose-style whammy, as the name indicates. The RG 7- and 8-string guitars are among the best-selling models of their type on the market, and with choice axes like the RG7321 7-string and RGA8QM 8-string with quilted maple top, it's easy to see why. And don't forget the Mikro, a high-quality RG-inspired short-scale guitar, perfect for young shredders, or as a trusted travel companion. So whether you are a seasoned shredder from way back looking to update your arsenal, or you're just looking for a high-quality, fast-playing and cool-looking two-octave axe to swing around at home, you can't go wrong with an Ibanez RG. Order one today!

Yay! I finally found my sample of this tea! I thought it had either gotten lost in the move or that I had drunk it and forgotten to write a tasting note. (Blasphemy, I know).
The aroma of the dry leaf is pure York Peppermint Patty! It smells amazing! When I first lifted the lid off my strainer to get a whiff of the brewed tea, I was assailed by overly strong mint and peppercorn. It felt like my nose hairs were burning!! Oh dear. But once it began to cool, the chocolate aroma came out more. I'm excited to try this, but I really hope those peppercorns die down. I'm not a fan of hot and spicy things.
First sip, hmm…this is interesting. It's mint at first, and then it slowly transforms into a prickly peppery sensation on your tongue after you swallow, but then the mint seems to come back again. And then finally about 10 seconds after the sip, I get a dark chocolate flavor that's so soft it's like I ate a piece of chocolate 5 minutes ago and can still taste it.
The more I sip, the more the chocolate comes to the forefront. It's definitely mint chocolate now followed by that prickly sensation from the peppercorns. I think it would be much better without the latter. I'm just not a fan of that sensation.
I'm going to add a little bit of sweetener and milk to try and overpower this strong mint. It's making me feel lightheaded. Ah, that's a little better. I think I probably should have used a bit less leaf. This is one strong cup of tea! I like mint, but I think this might be too heavily mint for me. I'd like more of a balance between the mint and the chocolate. It was fun to try though, and I'm sure others could enjoy this more than me.

Area sewer districts are faced with making costly upgrades to their systems to come into compliance with new water quality standards.
Some improvements could require rate hikes for customers, officials say.
The city of Washington will not have to make upgrades to its plant because it is only about five years old and was designed to be in compliance with stricter rules from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
"We should be in good shape," said Kevin Quaethem, city of Washington water and wastewater superintendent.
For instance, he said the plant was designed to remove ammonia and nitrogen.
This means city residents will be spared the burden of financing costly upgrades that may fall on sewer districts in the county.
Ongoing Effort
Public Water Supply District No. 1, which serves the Krakow area with water and sewer services, will have to make upgrades to its system to comply with the new rules, said Joe Feldmann, president of the district's board.
In fact, he said improvements to the system have already begun, but he said it is hard to say how much they will ultimately cost because they are being phased in over time.
The district continues to make rate increases to keep up with its debt service and so far improvements have been covered by standard rate hikes, he said.
However, Feldmann said future system improvements could require higher rate increases but no decisions have been made.
Feldmann noted that the district's water distribution system will now require chlorination.
The district has five or six different treatment facilities that discharge into a number of different watersheds, ultimately flowing into St. John's Creek or Busch Creek.
The Missouri Clean Water Commission recently approved the new rules to "place additional protection, in the form of pollutant limits, on 2,100 lakes and 90,000 miles of rivers and streams that were previously unclassified in Missouri," according to the state Department of Natural Resources.
Work is still under way to combine three sewer districts as well as Purina Farms into one wastewater permit holder in order to more feasibly meet the new water quality standards.
Combining the sewer districts in Labadie, Beauty View Acres and Gray Summit as well as Purina Farms into one district will allow the cost of treatment upgrades to be spread across more people to create an "economy of scale," said Dan Buescher. He is the attorney for the Labadie Sewer District. He explained that sewer district permit holders that discharge into the Labadie Creek Watershed must meet the new ammonia regulations.
The new rules will take effect Feb. 28 of next year but compliance time lines will vary based on factors such as expiration dates of current permits.
Without consolidating the districts, the impact on the customers could become unbearable, Buescher said. It has been estimated that the improvements could cost $2 million. Under a worst-case scenario previously reported customers' bills could be $50 a month after a rate hike.
The Labadie treatment plant would be upgraded to serve the consolidated district since it is the farthest downstream, Buescher said.
He said he feels bad for those sewer discharge permit holders who may not be able to team up with others to lessen the blow of the costly upgrades.
Based on the cost of making upgrades and the time required to do so, there could be extensions granted to allow entities time to come into compliance, Buescher said.
It is unclear how many wastewater treatment plants in Franklin County will have to make system upgrades to comply with the new guidelines. The Missourian sought this information from the Missouri DNR but did not get the information by press time.
Buescher noted that Labadie Creek ultimately flows into the Missouri River, and the object of the new rules is to clean up as many of the discharges as possible.
The EPA is trying to deal with "dead zones" in the Gulf of Mexico to restore fishing and natural growth of flora, he added. That can't be done if there are high levels of pesticides and nutrients, he said.
The consolidation of the sewer districts would have to be approved by the county commission. Currently, officials are trying to get sewer district customers to sign a petition in favor of the consolidation even though this is not required. Buescher said this will just show that people are in favor of consolidation.
He hopes consolidation can be completed in the first quarter of next year but said it could take twice that long.
Financing improvements may be done through bonds, grants or loans. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Clean Water Commission are possible funding sources, he said.
