Sue's Views -- Stevens FORWARD! has a strong foundation
For the past three months, the Morris Sun Tribune has been working to explain what Stevens FORWARD! is and how you can get involved.
Throughout this series of stories, we've also tried to tell you why this is an important effort. Sometimes that's an easy task. Honestly, how hard is it to figure out that increasing our commercial and retail sales is good for all of us? Or that an increase in enrollment at UMM means more folks in the area to shop, further helping us along in the revitalization efforts.
Sometimes, the ideas are a bit less concrete. I have to admit, I'm still pondering the destiny driver that says we "will have established an inclusive culture that embraces a diversity of people in our population and encourages their uniqueness to flourish and enhance our community."
And that just begs the question, why are we doing this?
Well, for me, it comes down to whether or not you believe there's room for improvement in our little corner of the world.
It's also about building on the successes of the past.
I was visiting with Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Monday. She was at the American Legion to honor the veterans and their families on Memorial Day. But she took the time to visit with nearly every one in the room, discussing everything from the court battle over the recent senate election to guns to green energy initiatives.
It was as she was walking out the door that she said to me, "I just think you all have figured something out here, how to work together to make your resources reach farther."
She was talking specifically about the so-called "research triangle" with the University of Minnesota, Morris, the West Central Research and Outreach Center and the Soils Lab and their combined efforts towards developing renewable energy alternatives.
I spent some time thinking about her comments and how a little community on the wind-swept prairies of western Minnesota could be so lucky to have three such outstanding institutions within shouting distance of each other.
What was in the water during the 1950s and '60s that would help otherwise reasonable community members decide that they could remake an ag high school into a public liberal arts college? Likewise, what possessed the locals to spend the time, energy and financial resources to lobby Congress for a soil conservation research lab? I'm pretty sure there were more than one or two folks thinking it was a pipe dream.
Thank goodness those chasing those opportunities never stopped to listen to the naysayers.
Now, 50 years later, it's time to decide if you're capable of taking up the cause or becoming one of the naysayers.

A mineral acid (or inorganic acid) is defined as a water-soluble acid derived from inorganic minerals by chemical reaction as opposed to organic acids (e.g. acetic acid, formic acid). Examples of mineral acids include: • Boric acid (CAS No.10043-35-3) • Chromic acid (CAS No.1333-82-0) • Hydrochloric acid (CAS No.7647-01-0) • Hydrofluoric acid (CAS No. 7664-39-3) • Nitric acid (CAS No. 7697-37-2) • Perchloric acid (CAS No. 7601-90-3) • Phosphoric acid (CAS No.7664-38-2) • Sulfuric acid (CAS No.7664-93-9) Mineral acids are commonly found in research laboratories and their corrosive nature makes them a significant safety risk. Since they are important reagents in the research laboratory and often do not have substitutes, it is important that they are handled properly and with care. Some acids are even shock sensitive and under certain conditions may cause explosions (i.e., salts of perchloric acid).…

In this experiment, three soil macronutrients are chemically extracted, combined with color-based reagents, then analyzed using color to determine the nutrient concentration present in the soil sample.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the main components of soil fertilizer. These methods isolate each nutrient from the soil into a solution that can be analyzed using turbidity and color to determine the concentration of nutrients present in the soil sample. Knowing present concentration informs environmental scientists of a nutrient deficiency or surplus in soils used to support plant production, and also provides general insight into basic biogeochemical cycles of an ecosystem.…

TUPELO, Miss. – (WCBI)The National Transportation Safety Board finds a loose nut in the fuel line likely caused a 2011 plane crash that claimed the life of the pilot, 69-year old David Duncan.
The report also shows that the day before that fatal flight, a mechanic had removed the nut to replace a cylinder. While the mechanic says he tightened it properly, he did not re-putty the nut. The putty is put in place, to indicate if the nut has been loosened, either by vibrations or tampering.
Duncan crashed his Cessna 310 shortly after take off at Tupelo Regional Airport.
The fault in the fuel line caused the left engine to stall out, likely causing the plane to plummet shortly after leaving the runway.

Donte Hill wears a lot of hats at Norfolk (Va.) Collegiate School. The 6-foot-4 guard is playing nearly every spot on the floor and he's anchoring the line up for his team this season. The four-star guard is having a big junior year and in the process, trying to figure out what college hat he'll be wearing down the road.
Hill is enjoying a productive year, posting 23 points and 15 rebounds a game. He's helped Norfolk Collegiate achieve a 11-6 record and rolling through a schedule filled with big time match-ups.
"Our schedule is probably one of the best of anyone around here," Hill said.
Article Continues Below
On Tuesday night, Hill lined up against North Carolina bound forward Ed Davis. The game before, he started at the point.
"I'm pretty much playing every position coach needs me at," Hill said. "It definitely helps me. My whole thing is about preparing myself for college. Playing all of these positions makes me more valuable to a team. That's more of a chance to get on the floor and that is what coaches want to see in players."
The coaches are certainly watching. Marquette (offer), Virginia Tech (offer), Virginia, Old Dominion (offer), James Madison (offer) and William & Mary have all been in to see him play this season, he said. George Mason has also offered.
"My dad talked to Florida just recently. So that's pretty new," Hill said.
With all of the attention and a productive junior season, Hill said his recruitment has intensified but he doesn't have any immediate plans of trimming his list or even making a decision.
"I don't have any favorites right now. My dad and I are probably going to sit down and make up a list sometime soon," Hill said. "I've been thinking about it but I'm not concerning myself too much about it. I've talked to a couple of coaches but I don't have any favorites."
When he isn't playing, Hill is either in the schoolbooks or watching the schools that are recruiting him on television, with hopes of examining the teams in real time.
"I've been watching college basketball a lot lately but I still don't feel like I know enough," Hill said. "I'm looking at the systems and trying to find the right place that would fit me the best. It's essential to watch the games. I've always watched as a fan but in the last year, my dad and I are watching more and how to study it. He's taught me how to really study it. It's not about who is winning or who is losing. It's about watching what they do with their players and watching what they do in their system. I want to see how I will fit into their system. I study these games hard. It's important for me.
"I definitely want to go somewhere that they are high on player development. I want to go somewhere that I can get better. For me, that will probably be the biggest thing. As far as distance and where they are located isn't a big concern to me. Somewhere that I can come in and get better is the most important thing."
Make no mistake about it, Hill won't be making a fly-by-night decision. He said his decision will be a calculated one.
"It is definitely going to be a well-thought out decision. It will be something that I really think about," Hill said. "I'm going to take my time with it and it will be a well informed decision."

Prague is on the bucket list of almost every traveler. Almost everyone falls in love with the City of Spires. I couldn't understand it more. Prague is a city which bought me to tears, a city which fascinated me so much that I started to learn the language, graduated from Czech philology and became a translator. Sounds silly, right? I dedicated 5 years to Czech Studies. I spent one semester in Prague and one in Brno. I did two summer schools. I spent hours on the trains and buses wandering across the whole country. There is one lesson I learnt: Czech Republic is so much more than Prague. Trust me. Keep calm and spend your vacation there. Here are some of the true Czech gems. It was a trouble to choose just 5. I hope you discover even more hidden ones on your travels!
Karlštejn Castle and Velká Amerika
Czech Republic is a country of medieval castles and baroque mansions. I've included only one castle on the list. Why Karlštejn? Because it is the most towering and spectacular one I've seen in Central Europe. This grand gothic castle was founded in 1348 by Charles IV, the Holy Roman emperor and King of Bohemia. Karlštejn is home for Czech crown jewels and other royal treasures. Karlštejn is located just 30 kilometers from Prague. It's a perfect spot for one-day trip from the capital. You can reach it by train. If you feel like going on a bit of hike after the spectacular encounter with the Czech history between the castle walls, you could visit Velká Amerika, aka Big America. It is a partially flooded abandoned limestone quarry with an 18-meter deep lake on the bottom. I love the shining surface of the water and its vivid color. Hiking from the castle to the "canyon" is rather easy. It might be a bit tiring on a hot day but the view is definitely worth it. I've never swam in this basin, but I saw people doing that. You might give it a try.
Český Krumlov
If you are interested in medieval history and architecture, you have to visit Český Krumlov. It is often described as the most picturesque example of a fully preserved medieval small town in Bohemia with a grand castle dominating the Old Town and a stunning cathedral. You will find here some Renaissance and Baroque elements there as well. The medieval urbanistic plan is almost untouched. To make it more fairytale-ish the city is located on the banks of meandering Vltava river.
Kutná Hora
A visit to this UNESCO-listed medieval city is a must for all architecture and history lovers out there. It was the site of a silver mine and a medieval coin mint. Unique late Gothic Cathedral of Santa Barbara is probably the most important and most impressive piece of architecture you might explore there. Every second house in the Old Town is a true gem though. Pay attention to all the details when you wander around! If you are quite an adventurer you must go to the Cathedral Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist and the famous Ossuary. It is estimated it contains bones of 40,000 to 70,000 people!
A very important sport for all Jewish culture lovers. It has a complete Jewish quarter with beautiful synagogues and one of the best-preserved Jewish cemeteries in Europe. You will find there a grand St Prokop Basilica which is a spectacular example of Roman architecture. What is even more important, Třebíč historical center shows how Jews and Catholics coexisted together for centuries. You can still feel it in the air.
The Moravian Karst (Moravský Kras)
Time for some more nature! Don't skip the Moravian Karst, a protected nature reserve in Moravia region. There are uncountable caverns and gorges waiting to be explored! Currently four of the cave system are open for visitors. Personally I recommend Punkevní cave the most! The Moravian Karst is accessible by train.
How you ever been to Czech Republic? What do you think of it?
Zofia Bałdyga, aka Zof, is a Warsaw-based NGO worker interested in international migration issues, translator from Czech and Slovak, an occasional poet and photoblogger. A visual addict.

February 24, 2013
US officials made two secret visits to North Korea last year in an effort to improve relations after North Korea leader Kim Jong Un assumed power, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Citing unnamed former US officials familiar with the trips, the newspaper said the visits in April and August were aimed at encouraging the new leadership in Pyongyang to moderate its foreign policy.
The April trip was led by Joseph DeTrani, who at the time headed the National Counterproliferation Center in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the report said.
It was unclear who led the August trip, the paper noted.

Slide 2 of 7
2. "Back to the Future" (1985)
In this classic 80s movie, 17-year-old Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is accidentally sent back in time 30 years in a tricked up Delorean designed by his mad scientist friend, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd). After arriving in 1955, Marty meets his teenaged father (Crispin Glover) and mother (Lea Thompson), the latter of whom – much to Marty's horror, becomes attracted to him! Now, in order to ensure his own existence when he makes it back to 1985, Marty has to make his father and mother fall in love again. Like any good 80s movie, "Back to the Future" turns out alright: Marty is able to reconstruct his parents' love story and, in doing so, actually finds his family members' lives improved when he returns to 1985. This time traveling film was so successful that it inspired two sequels: "Back to the Future" Parts II and III. (Photo by Universal Pictures)

'The Deterioration of Detroit,' As Seen Through Google Street View [Video]
Someone put together this interesting, yet sad, video showing areas of Detroit as it has changed from 2011 to 2014, through Google Street View.
I personally haven't spent much time in Detroit, but that city is nothing short of fascinating. To see something that was as great as it was, just kind of wither away; the story of how this happened is so interesting.
The creator of this video did something pretty cool. He was able to find images of Detroit, as captured through Google Street View, over the years. This shows how certain neighborhoods have continued to deteriorate in a matter of about 3 years.
All of us here in Michigan are rooting for Detroit, we know it won't come back to what it once was anytime soon; but we do know The Motor City will turn around.

Another knight out on the town.
Life as a Jedi seems pretty sweet. You can influence people with a wave of a hand, kick the collective butt of an entire stormtrooper platoon and never have a problem scratching that hard to reach spot in the middle of your back. But for those of us without a midichlorian infestation, there's Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, a port of the excellent PC hit and now appearing on an Xbox near you. It's got Action! Adventure! Danger! Excitement! Not half bad for a Star Wars game, eh?
You reprise your role as Kyle Katarn, the on again, off again Jedi Knight and Force philosopher. After running around the galaxy as a mercenary for the last few years and leaving his lightsaber with good ol' Luke Skywalker, Kyle thought that he had finally put the Force behind . But that was before the New Republic intercepted a transmission from the remnants of the Empire about the mysterious Valley of the Jedi. Naturally, you're sent in to investigate and that's when the poodoo hits the fan.
With an assortment of blasters, explosives and one handy, all-purpose glow stick, you'll take on wave after wave of scum and villainy in both first and third person. From the basic Bryar Blaster pistol to the Golan Arms FC-1, you'll never lack projectiles to hurl to at the endless waves of bad guys.
And after a few levels (when you've gotten back in touch with your Jedi-ness), you'll also gain a handful of Force powers. Besides being able to toss your lightsaber around like a boomerang and shove grunts around like high-school freshmen, you'll have the power to confuse enemies with a Jedi Mind Trick and toast them to a crisp with a little Force lightning. In addition to these powers, you'll also be able to choose from three specific styles of lightsaber combat (fast, medium and strong) to put your own personal touch on the game. Not a shabby bag of tricks for a bunch of spoon benders and mind readers.
Surprisingly, the control isn't half-bad. Most FPS' that get ported over to a console suffer from the lack of a mouse and keyboard, but this is not the case with Jedi Outcast. Just pop over to the Advanced Controls screen and adjust 'til your Jedi heart's content. Every control option can be found here with separate sensitivity options for both horizontal and vertical thumbstick movement. There's also an option for auto-leveling and assisted aiming for those Jedi who couldn't hit the broadside of a bantha with a Super Star Destroyer.
When the action gets going, things look and sound pretty good. Lightsaber battles look awesome with sparks flying everywhere and Force-powered beings clashing to the familiar tunes of John Williams. The rest of the time, the game's visuals are merely sufficient. Indoor areas look perfect with crisp Imperial creases, but you'll really see the age of this old engine in the outdoor areas. Also, the in-game cutscenes look like someone took an old camcorder and just filmed their PC monitor while they were playing. Sheesh, looks like one of the yokels from Agamar snuck onto the cutscene committee.
Speaking of stupid, you'll occasionally notice one of the enemies just lose his marbles. Every so often, stormtroopers will just run right past you as if they were following some kind of script. I know they aren't rocket scientists, but I guess the remnants of the Empire can only afford the dregs of the universe. As long as they know which way to point their E-11's, they're hired.
Jedi, on the other hand, will need all of their wits to get through the game's many challenging puzzles. From basic locked door puzzles to Force powered brain teasers, Jedi Outcast never feels like a cheap point-and-click shooter.
Things can get a little frustrating, though, since the console version seems to be really touchy with character positioning when activating objects such as buttons and computer consoles. For example, there was one section of a base I was running though that was filled with locked doors. I had run though every inch of the place, pushing every button and computer terminal imaginable, yet I still could not progress. Finally, when taking my fifth or so trip around, I stumbled on the correct computer terminal that I had tried several times before. It turns out that though I had attempted to activate the computer console before, I did not have the cursor on the EXACT spot needed to open the doors. Picky, picky.
But for every little fault, there's definitely something good to bring balance to the Force. Jedi Outcast features a solid Multiplayer option that's a great way for you to show off your Jedi skills to a buddy. Several individual and team-based game modes are included for your pleasure, such as Jedi Master, Duel and Capture the Flag. And since you can't have a party with just two people, there's also an option to include up to 14 bots. Not bad, but it's a real bummer that Jedi Outcast isn't Xbox Live! compatible.
Still, Jedi Outcast stands out as one of the better Star Wars games to date. It's got great lightsaber battles and enough Star Wars action to satisfy even the biggest George Lucas junkie. Yoda would be proud.

Heading into 2017, we live in a world that is increasingly polarized by hate. So now more than ever, every word that every person says matters—and one e-sports professional may have just destroyed his career by saying three: "I hate Muslims."
This vile comment from "Guru" contributes to the overall climate of hate speech which has become virtually commonplace online.

Creating a company mobile phone policy to fight mobile phone malware
Are mobile phones the new frontier for money-making malware? In this expert response, Nick Lewis explains recent advancements in mobile malware and how your company can protect itself from them.
This Article Covers
Strategy and policy
Mobile phone malware authors have developed malware for smartphones that will make calls to premium billing locations or send text messages to premium services to make money ; similar to dialer malware for PCs. The malware authors either create or have a stake in these premium services, which typically charge extravagant rates for texts or calls to them. However, this malware has not spread widely, for one, because of the diversity of the operating systems in use on smartphones; this could change, though, as OSes like Symbian -- which currently has the largest share of the smartphone operating system market -- and others are growing.

There have been whole books written on smartphone security, but there are a few simple best practices enterprises can implement to prevent corporate smartphones from being exploited. These best practices start with a company mobile phone policy that involves user education: Users should be told not to install applications from unknown sources or "jailbreak" their smartphones. Smartphones have been protected by the fact that there is generally more oversight and control by default in how software is installed on them, since many smartphones use only vendor-approved applications like those downloaded from the Apple AppStore or the Android Marketplace. It is more difficult for malware to be installed on smartphones, but like on desktops, users will willingly install malware when they think the other facets of the download -- like a Twlight Eclipse Preview, as emonstrated by security researcher Jon Oberheide-- are interesting enough. To protect against rogue malware from being installed, an antimalware application could be installed to protect the smartphone as Mikko Hypponen mentioned in his Blackhat 2010 presentation.
Combating malware is only one part of smartphone security; enterprises should also ensure users have strong passwords and should enable remote management and wipe capabilities for all mobile devices to ensure they are adequately protected.

Stayed at the Raffaello Hotel in Florence for one night on October 2. Nice big lobby with several dining rooms to accommodate groups for breakfast. It also has a nice outdoor area with tables and chairs.
I have to be honest when we first walked in the room I was a bit disappointed. The room was uninviting. There are metal shutters on the outside of the windows (I guess to keep the heat out during the summer months), they were closed tight which left the room without any natural light and basically in the dark – not very inviting when first walking in the room. The room was very small and very ordinary and basic with two beds. The room was clean but it just did not feel fresh. The air conditioning worked very well. The bathroom is not modern but was ok even though it had peeling paint on the walls. Again, not a very good impression. We could literally hear the people talking in the next room, wow. Free Internet for clients.
Unfortunately it was not the best hotel we stayed in while vacationing in Italy.

Marine Electronics Leader Introduces a Variety of New, Innovative Products in Conjunction with the 2013 Miami International Boat Show
Tulsa, Okla. – Lowrance, a world-leading brand in marine electronics since 1957 and GPS navigational systems since 1992 — announced today, in conjunction with the 2013 Miami International Boat Show, the latest addition to its VHF product Line, the Link-2 DSC VHF/GPS handheld marine radio and the new high-precision Point-1 GPS antenna with a built-in compass.
Lowrance Link-2
The Lowrance Link-2 is a feature-rich, free-floating, handheld Class D digital selective calling (DSC) compliant VHF radio that offers Man Over Board (MOB) functionality and storage for up to 300 waypoints. Ideal for everyday use or convenient storage in an emergency kit, the Link-2 features a built-in GPS receiver and the added convenience of a simple plotter with Great Circle waypoint navigation. Rugged and reliable, the radio is equipped with a large 128x128 pixel LCD with adjustable contrast settings and backlighting, enhanced 700mW speaker, and prominent channel display that is easy to view in both bright sunlight and at night. Offering Lowrance's exclusive "Track-Your-Buddy" feature, users can pinpoint and display the exact location of other vessels using position polling techniques. The handheld's "Get Buddy" feature transmits the radio's position with a simple push of a button, allowing buddies to receive bearing and distance data from the radio on other Link-2 units. The feature-packed Link-2 VHF/GPS marine radio also includes a choice of high or low (5W to 1W) transmission power; latitude, longitude and time display; a distress call button with hinged door; the ability to select and program up to three favorite channels on a dedicated key; flexible dual- and tri-watch for greater channel monitoring; weather alerts; plus an easily accessible buddy list of up to 20 people. The unit comes with a belt clip, wristband, rubber duck antenna, desktop charger with 120V AC wall adapter and a 7.4V 1400mAh Li-ion battery pack. Providing additional convenience, the handheld's power-saving circuitry allows the radio to hold a battery charge for up to 11 hours while under GPS function and is NMEA 0183 compatible when in the charger dock.
Lowrance Point-1 GPS Antenna
Offering unparalleled accuracy around the world, the Lowrance Point-1 GPS/GLONASS antenna with integrated e-Compass/Gyro is a rugged precision positioning and heading sensor that ensures access to stable and smooth vessel orientation. In addition to reliable location information, when used with a compatible Lowrance HDS Gen2, HDS Gen2 Touch or Elite-7 series display, the Point-1 greatly enhances navigational information by providing accurate, precise course over ground (COG) data at any speed and enabling radar overlay on charts. Delivering a configurable update rate — 1Hz, 5Hz or 10Hz — for smooth and precise location updates, the GPS features an advanced chipset that offers enhanced time-to-first-fix and supports multiple Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The high-precision antenna will also communicate with GPS, GLONASS and WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS. The Lowrance Point-1's compact size and NMEA 2000® compatibility enable ease of installation anywhere on a vessel, allowing boaters to select the ideal mounting site for optimal positioning and performance.
"The Lowrance Link-2 VHF and Point-1 GPS/Compass represent the innovative technologies boaters expect from Lowrance," said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. "Our Link-2's combination of location-awareness, advanced features and high-performance VHF functionality increases safety and allows boaters to make the most of their time on the water, while Point-1 provides our top-selling Lowrance multifunction displays with reliable and spot-on positioning for truly smooth performance."

- Mercedes news
Haug wants Mercedes stability
- Drivers:
- Michael Schumacher
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Mercedes director of motorsport Norbert Haug says the team needs stability to start challenging for race wins in the coming seasons.
Mercedes is yet to win a grand prix since taking over Brawn GP at the end of 2009, despite the outfit in its previous guise having won both the drivers' and constuctors' championships in the previous season. With the team having strengthened its technical department with the acquisitions of Aldo Costa and Geoff Willis in recent weeks, Haug said the process to move towards the front would be a slow one.
"We are going to keep establishing our new Silver Arrows works team in Formula One," he told Eurosport Deutschland. "Our development and our learning will bring us upwards gradually, step by step, from the fourth power at the moment to third, second and ultimately to position number one. This can be achieved only through years of hard and focused work. The current world champions (Red Bull) took five years before their first success."
Haug also said that the current drivers were integral to the team, and that both Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg would win races when the team is able to challenge at the front despite Schumacher's current deal running out at the end of 2012.
"We are completely satisfied with them, as once we give our drivers a winning car, they will win with it. Michael is a motivator through and through. He has a plan just as he had one at Ferrari, where he fought for five years for his first (Ferrari) title. He has the same bite as ever and remains one of the very best drivers in the field."

Longtime Wood River Rancher Dies
PICABO, Idaho — Longtime Idaho rancher Leonard "Bud" Purdy passed away Monday night in his home at age 96.
Purdy first came to Blaine County in 1928 as a 10-year-old from California, told to work on his uncle's ranch, the K-Bar-K Ranch. By 1943, at the age of 25, he became foreman, and just 12 years later, he bought the business. Gov. Butch Otter described Purdy as the very embodiment of the Code of the West. "Someone whose life was a lesson in cowboy ethics, common sense, stewardship and the value of hard work and perseverance."
In the years that Purdy worked the land in Picabo, he hunted ducks with Ernest Hemingway, learned to fly a plane, ran the Picabo Store, Picabo Elevator, and Silver Creek Supply, grew barley for beer and farmed about 2,500 acres of hay and grain.

Wall, Wizards knock off injury-ravaged Clippers
Wizards defeat Clippers team without Blake Griffin or Chris Paul
Wizards Top Shorthanded Clippers
- Wizards Top Shorthanded Clippers
Wizards Top Shorthanded Clippers
WASHINGTON — The Los Angeles Clippers were missing Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. The Washington Wizards won the game.
Tread carefully around Randy Wittman when trying to connect those two thoughts.
"Hey, listen, we played enough games this year without players," the Wizards coach said. "Don't give me the (bull) about who was here and who wasn't here. … You guys would have printed it a wholly different other way if we had lost. … Now you're going to print, 'Ah, you won because Blake didn't play.' Give me a break."
More on the Clippers
For more news, notes and analysis of the L.A. Clippers, check out the Clippers Report. Blog
To be fair, the outburst was more playful than angry, but the point is well-taken. The Wizards will happily take Monday night's 98-90 win — or any victory for that matter — in a season that was essentially wrecked from the get-go in part because of injuries to John Wall and Nene.
Now it's the Clippers who are close to falling off the rails, having lost seven of nine — including six of eight without Paul. Los Angeles is halfway through an eight-game road trip and has fallen 4½ games off the Western Conference lead.
"It's frustrating because we're giving back a lot of what we had built up earlier in the season," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "But you can't control the injuries, you can't control the schedule, you can't control so many guys being out."
Paul missed his eighth consecutive game and 11th of the last 13 with a bruised right kneecap, while Griffin's streak of 197 consecutive games played ended when he was a last-minute scratch with a strained left hamstring.
"We were walking out (to the court) and he was walking in," Del Negro said.
Del Negro said he knew the hamstring had been bothering Griffin, who leads the Clippers in scoring and rebounding with 18.5 points and 8.6 boards per game. The coach declined to speculate when Griffin would return. The road trip continues against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
"We'll see how he feels tomorrow," Del Negro said.
Griffin had started every game since he essentially became an NBA player at the start of the 2010 season, having sat out in 2009-10 with a knee injury after he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Clippers.
Nevertheless, his teammates were in the game until a spate of turnovers and a pair of offensive rebounds by Wizards forward Nene spurred a 7-0 run by Washington late in the fourth quarter.
"When you're a championship-level team, you have high expectations," said Jamal Crawford, who scored 28 points to lead the Clippers. "And we do, no matter who's in and who's out. Obviously we're missing some of our better players, but no excuse."
Martell Webster scored 21 points, Nene and Garrett Temple had 15 points apiece, Emeka Okafor grabbed 14 rebounds, and Wall had 13 points and eight assists for the Wizards, who broke a four-game losing streak and moved a game ahead of the league-worst Charlotte Bobcats.
DeAndre Jordan had a career-high 22 rebounds for the Clippers. Eric Bledsoe, going toe-to-toe with Wall in a duel between former Kentucky teammates, had 17 points and nine assists.
The game turned when Nene grabbed a high-bouncing rebound off of his own missed free throw to set up a 3-pointer by Trevor Ariza, then corralled another offensive board on the next possession and fed Temple for a jump shot that gave the Wizards an 87-79 lead with 3:53 remaining.
Still, the finish was too close for comfort for Wittman, especially after the Wizards had scored 51 points in the first half.
"It wasn't all artistic for us," Wittman said. "We still had ups and downs from an offensive standpoint. … We seem to forget how we scored the 51. If my forehead's red, (it's from) banging the wall."
Game notes
The Clippers committed eight of their 20 turnovers in the fourth quarter. … Griffin's consecutive games streak was tied for second with Houston Rockets center Omer Asik among active players. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook played in his 360th straight game Monday night. … The Wizards snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Clippers. … Washington played its fourth consecutive game without rookie G Bradley Beal (sprained right wrist). … Del Negro said he hopes to have both Paul and Chauncey Billups (left foot) back before the end of the road trip. He said Billups is on pace to return before Paul. "That's the plan right now," Del Negro said. "But a lot of the plans haven't worked out the way we wanted with some of the injuries."

text: Scotland Yard has informed Prince Charles and Prince William that revelers at a bizarre dress-up party were photographed wearing Princess Diana's dresses before boxing them up and illegally selling them after her death, The [London] Express reports. The news is part of the investigation against Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, who has been charged with theft of a good number of Diana's belongings. Burrell is said to have been among those photographed wearing a gown owned by the late princess. There was also a report of a cross-dressing party, unrelated to Burrell, at which a man put on one of Diana's Royal Ascot outfits, which consisted of a hat, a dress, and high-heeled shoes. Despite the reports, no evidence of the cross-dressing parties has been presented to the jury in the Burrell case.

NCHC signs on with CBS Sports Network
The three-year television contract that the National Collegiate Hockey Conference signed with CBS Sports Network on Tuesday is a mixed bag for the University of North Dakota and its fans.
CBS Sports Network says it will broadcast a minimum of 18 NCHC games per season, including the semifinals and championship of the startup conference's postseason tournament beginning in 2013-14.
The good news is that more UND games - home and road - will now be available in high definition. All CBS Sports Network games come in high-def.
The bad news is that the deal is an exclusive one and UND will not be allowed to renew its contract with Fox College Sports, which has allowed the school to broadcast every home game nationally for the past three seasons.
UND will likely appear on CBS Sports Network five times per season. Games that are not picked up by CBS Sports Network will only be allowed to be broadcast locally and regionally on UND Sports Network, but will not be distributed nationally.
UND spokesperson Jayson Hajdu said that the school also is "working on a plan for the day when the FCS contract expires," but didn't detail what that means.
The school also is exploring options for Twin Cities viewers.
NCHC commissioner Jim Scherr acknowledged that UND was "doing what's good for the conference."
UND is the only school in the league that has all of its home games broadcast nationally.
"This is, long term, good for the conference," Scherr said. "It's great for college hockey fans. Based on my conversations with (UND athletic director Brian Faison), they are pleased with what the agreement means for each school in the conference. I think we have to continue to expand it."
CBS Sports Network is available on Midcontinent Cable with the sports package. It also is available on both DirecTV and Dish Network.
The network will choose which games it broadcasts with input on the league based on marketability of the teams, viewership of teams, success of the teams and stakes of the game. It is unlikely any team will be shown more than five times.

merging a partial branch
From: Rachel Brooks <rach2522_at_yahoo.com>
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:51:50 -0800 (PST)
Hi there, I have to merge a part of a branch back into the trunk. I assume this would be done like this:
cd to the specific directory in a fresh working copy of the trunk (ie, the actual piece i want to merge, not the root)
svn merge trunkurl/same_specific_directory _as_above
Do I use the reintegrate flag in this case?
According to the docs: "In Subversion 1.5, once a --reintegrate merge is done from branch to trunk, the
branch is no longer usable for further work."
So Im thinking i should not use the reintegrate flag, and when I do the
Does anyone see any problems with this?

Please Help! Air bubbles are driving me crazy!
Hey guys, I have a Sig King Kobra with a Super Tiger .61. I just brought the plane out of a six year retirement to find that it has the same problem now as it did then. The problem is that I keep getting air bubbles in the fuel line. The plane runs fine long enough to tune the engine and fly for a minute or so, then it begins to "surge" and lose power all togehter, then die. Before I put the plane away six years ago, I replaced the tank and all fuel lines with no improvement. I also tried different amounts of foam rubber around the tank. I have had it sandwiched in very tight, I have tried no foam at all, and I have tried everything in between. No luck. Someone said try a fuel filter. Tried that. Still no luck. Well, I tried it at home yesterday and it seemed fine, I took it to the field this morning, made a few last minute needle valve adjustments, and took off. Same as always, ran like a striped monkey for about a minute, then began to surge and finally died and gave me a very good test of my skills! (Died in a really bad place). I am out of ideas. Is there anyway that this could be anything to do with the motor or does it have to be a fuel system problem? My father did have one suggestion that I will try if none of you guys have any other ideas. I have the brass tubing from the tank coming out of the front of the firewall to make tubing replacement easy and the holes in the firewall are just large enough for the tubing. Could the vibration from the firewall into the brass tubes be causing these bubbles? I guess I will drill the holes out larger so that the tubing doesn't rest on the firewall. The KK is way to good of an airplane to let sit because of this, but it is a very frustrating problem. I remembered today for the minute or so that I got to fly it just how great it flies. Could any of you guys shed some light on this for me? Thanks a lot in advance.
Assuming that there are no leaks in the fuel pipes, the most likely cause of bubbles in the fuel line is a poorly fitting needle valve. Simplest cure is to put a piece of fuel tubing over the needle valve where it screws into the carb. Many Super Tigre models have this problem.
Another cure for the needle valve would be to brush on some copper coat as a gasket material, works great and has solved many air leak problems, also check for any foreign material in the carb. If the Copper coat fixes the problem, run it for a while to verify, then buy a new needle valve. I would start checking for a mild fuel leak while the engine is at WOT and idle teathered to the ground and tilted straight up.
Another thing to try is to use different oil in your fuel.
Last week we worked to set up a trainer for a club member who had flown plenty of helicopter stuff but no fixed-wing.
He fitted a TT46 to his model and we ran it in (as per instructions) using fuel that had a moderate level of castor in the fuel.
After a minute or so's running on the ground, air bubbles began to appear in the fuel line.
We replaced the external lines and clunk line and tried increasing the vibration isolation of the tank -- all to no effect so then (just playing on a hunch), I told him to switch to some fuel with pure synthetic lube. The problem disappeared completely.
It seems that some oils (particularly those with a high castor component), foam far more easily than some kinds of pure synthetic.
Sirs,can the problem be loss of nipple pressure from muffler?I have such a problem with my TT42 GP(inverted mount) for a time, until I discovered the castor oil reservoir clogges the pressure nipple after 2-3 mins of perfect run and then disaster.Watch the nipple pressure system first.
Take the engine out of the model and run it in a test stand. Connect one tube only to the carb from the pickup of a different tank to the one in the model - make sure the tank position is such that the fuel level is the same as the needle. that way there's no syphon or fuel draw problem. See if you can replicate the 'fault'. If you can, it's the engine. If not, it's still the plumbing/tank/pressure.
I read in a mag a while ago that putting a couple of drops of vinyl cleaner in a tank of fuel stops frothing which is another cause pf bubbles in fuel.
I'm not quite sure which kind of vinyl cleaner but I guess it's the type used for cleaning plastic parts of cars.

Every four years or so, Tycho puts out an album perfectly calculated for chilled-out circumspection. Without a doubt, the best of these is last year's Dive—which is fortunate, since we'll likely be waiting a while for its follow-up. Will Dive change your life, bring tears to your eyes, and catalyze a super-deep epiphany? No, thank god. But it will make your bad days better and your good days seem a couple notches cooler. Tycho is the alter ego of a San Francisco-based graphic designer named Scott Hansen, and it's probably not a coincidence that his ambient electronic tunes sound more designed than they do composed. It's easy to like richly textured, decadently layered synth music, but Tycho opts instead for elegant minimalism—lovely melodies over meditative beats. Nothing extra, nothing missing, Dive is an island of self-assured calm amid the chaos. REBECCA WILSON

i am facing a problem with my galaxy advance proximity sensor, it does not work while in a call it does not shut my screen off. In the *#0*# menu at sensor tab at proximity it says : PROXIMITY : 1 when nothing is in the sensors way, and not turn the scrren green how it should do. Anyone have a clue about this ?
I find that note3 and S4 have this problem, and can recalibrate with ADB ussing this command:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
But in our phone, Prox_cal dont exist! I use italy 4.1.2 official firmware... Any idea?

Sinfest is a comic I follow faithfully. I love it so much because of the way the author has evolved over the last couple of years, moving away from simple throwaway stories and tits and ass into characters that are deep, multifaceted and real, not to mention the occasional commentary on politics. There are still days where I'll groan and facepalm, but not many. Today is both a groan day and a good day. Observe:
This character (who's name I can NEVER remember) is always yo-yo dieting and beating himself up for being a pig. Always. It's been an ongoing thing forever, and I'm waiting for the day he just finally learns to accept himself. I have a feeling he will, as Tatsuya has moved many other characters towards similar growth in the past, but this one lags behind. He's a pig, he should be enjoying 'junk' food and sitting around, because that's what pigs DO. In the not so distant past, pigs were the garbage cans of the farm, eating the leftovers (slops) from the kitchen. They enjoyed lazing about in the mud and dirt until harvest time. This guy needs to learn to accept himself and quit wasting his time and energy on binge exercise and diets.
The groan/facepalm part of this post is the joke, of course; that fat people are fat because they give up, they don't try hard enough to become thin, they lack willpower, etc. So close, Tatsuya, and yet, so far.

Shopping in Outdoor GB has been a good experience. I've bought my outdoor jacket on eBay and I was quite surprised that it took only a few days (3)after purchase that the jacket was at my door (considering I live in Ireland). That part went ok. There was only one snag: the colour of the lining (which is quite visible and goes very well with the outer colour of the jacket) was not the colour on the picture and the description of the jacket. It should have been silver but is dark grey instead. I found this a little upsetting becouse it doesn't really do it for me.

News story
Police bail bill progresses through Commons
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Police (Detention and Bail) Bill has been passed by MPs in Parliament today.
The Police (Detention and Bail) Bill was pushed through the House of Commons in just one day to reverse a High Court ruling that said the time suspects spend on bail should count towards the maximum period of detention allowed before a charge is made.
The police said this ruling would have a serious impact on their ability to investigate crime.
Keeping the public safe
Speaking in Parliament today, Theresa May explained: 'Being held in custody in a police cell, is clearly not the same as being free on police bail, even with conditions attached.
'For more than 25 years, this sensible interpretation of the law has enabled the police to investigate crimes and keep the public safe.'
She went on to explain that police judgement and leading expertise has guided the government's decision to introduce this emergency legislation.
'Only fast-track primary legislation can give the police the necessary certainty and immediacy in restoring the law as it was understood to operate,' she added.
Parliamentary scrutiny
The Bill will now be considered by the House of Lords.
It is hoped that the Bill will become law next week.

The wide wrist gauntlets of this pair of gloves are decorated with stitches and motifs also found on purses of the period. In addition, the gold and silver bobbin lace trim is also similar to that found on some embroidered jackets. The delicacy of the decoration on these gloves emphasizes the fact that they were intended as decorative accessories rather than practical gloves for protection from severe weather.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
i work for a pool maintenance and repair company. In 2009 we did a construction job for a condominium for $5485.87 in which we received one payment of $550.00. In 2011 the condominiums were sold and the debt to us left unpaid. My boss would like to file a small claims suit before the statute of limitations runs out. My question is who should we file against, the previous owners who ordered the work done or the new owner who bought the property?
