House fire kills three children, one adult in Lake City
LAKE CITY (AP) — A house fire early Tuesday in a small western Iowa town killed three children and one adult, police said.
Lake City Police Chief Bobby Rist said one of his officers noticed smoke coming from the southern edge of town while he was patrolling downtown several blocks away at 1:45 a.m. Officer Dana Cook followed the smoke to the house and found it ablaze.
Cook said the intense heat and smoke from the fire prevented him from getting into the house.

I believe I'm the one candidate in this campaign who can debate Barack Obama head to head and -- But we don't marry that -- you soon people done before renowned -- is really -- on confidence Alabama voters could be holding its -- in -- hands in the latest polls suggesting.
The former speaker right now edging out -- surging Mitt Romney added Tuesday's primary.
Legendary economist Oliver -- all hoping the new does -- one now because he's the best hope that they Gaza.
His latest book intellectuals and society joins me now for an extended -- we was loved ones outside.
so good to have you.
Good to be here you have very government interest in sort of -- rationale toward Newt Gingrich where you sort of pick apart all the other candidates.
And you argue that of that bonds.
It is Newt Gingrich is that that galvanizes.
And will likely galvanize the base and beyond more explain what you meant by.
And I think he's.
The only one who really can go go to the total -- would vote with Obama and -- -- debate.
I think go that's the tactics through that one from -- Mitt Romney thus far are not gonna be very effective against Obama.
-- Mitt Romney has outspent all his rivals by a large amount he can't outspend Obama.
He has.
No I'm done to ensure that I mean well I would everytime I look at does this these tax I mean.
-- -- I mean there's -- they'll know a lot of money.
Although they do they do but also -- Obama gets an awful lot of free publicity just by being president of the united state your right here so that.
I'm and but Romney had -- years before these primaries.
-- himself.
Set up in these various states.
Obama has been doing this love for even longer.
I think more than that because Obama Romney is what is wealthy.
He's gonna be a big -- -- -- being one of the 1%.
He's not defended himself very well of that in that regard when that -- been raised.
He's one of the things I think what most people are against Obama for.
-- Obama here.
I'm not only just about messing up the medical system which is bad enough.
What about the notion of freedom that he can decide who who does and doesn't have to Obey the law.
By -- giving out waivers to those he likes and not -- amount to those who doesn't like.
I don't I don't see Mitt Romney is being able to make the all human about freedom because -- -- -- let's insistence -- -- think about it for all of those arguments which are sound visited our viewers always are.
And all the improvements -- -- in the economy which is steady but hardly great.
-- for all the media fixation an -- -- Barack Obama would you argue.
Is going to be is secret weapon and something he can always enjoying count.
The best polls have the gap.
Within low single digits between -- and presuming Mitt Romney -- Maybe in a Newt Gingrich should -- be relatively close.
You know less so maybe Ron poll that Rick Santorum but the bottom line is for all those edges and advantages and for all a -- They're -- the way that that.
Romney carries.
It still a toss up.
All yes.
Given the performance low -- Obama in the an office it shouldn't even be close but it is.
And we're looking at -- that as of now.
You did -- one point during the 1980 campaign.
Jimmy Carter was leading in Ronald Reagan 58% to 40%.
So I'm not -- all that impressed with the polls.
-- very clearly remember -- week before the election they were dead even now I agree reviewed it.
But I'm yield here's the issue would new gears I don't -- overly get into the candidates but it's human -- because I read your recent columns in this regard.
-- -- -- That he's unstable that he's brilliant but irascible.
It went through the same qualities you admired him as an as a conservative thinker.
-- what has alienated -- -- among his colleagues in the house.
And those who work with -- in Washington and we'll come back to bite him.
No no question -- that there there is knows there is no safe Republican Canada.
By -- slightly slightly Obama is not a -- democratic candidate.
So the question becomes -- weighing 11 candidate is this event -- against the others.
I'm not at all that impressed by how successful.
Romney was in prime minister he's not running for a job in private industry.
But above to clear that you would prefer any one of those -- gentleman running for the Republican nomination over Barack -- yes.
Oh yes almost -- I was just thinking you know.
If there was till the -- running against admit that we might be too close to call but the but but no.
Given quite the speaker -- if you think about it I don't know.
That that -- that wasn't as strong through its.
But but no there's no question but but the fact is we don't have the option to wait to 26 the unit and hope for a better crowd I think this I don't know I'm -- that's -- We mandate and they -- here commentary entitled to that regard look for better crop and 26 seen.
That is if they were probably desert out in -- -- as some suggest this year and isn't -- deciding -- windows com is that when you think.
Good candidates would.
There would be a different tone -- cleansing geared for Republicans they would then go -- -- way ahead of ourselves I grant you but if you indulge me.
There will then gulf war what what.
What Republicans did after 76.
-- -- of that experience ago to it -- that a cleaner conservative choice that was Ronald Reagan.
All of that's true what I'm not I'm not really so much concerned about Republican Lam about the country.
-- just imagine now that Obama gets reelected.
He now has nothing to fear there's no more elections for -- -- the way he can be stops.
Is by either impeachment -- military coup.
And neither of those is likely.
And now all the things that he's had to bill lightly on.
Of the group lawlessness the various.
All -- -- rulings the -- invasions of the constitution.
Not preparing a budget.
The so Paulo the recess appointments there were were really questionable and so on.
All he can go full bore all left off without any fear -- he can also throw Israel to the wolves.
Without any fear of political repercussions.
And I think that the history of the -- -- -- to -- -- -- hung -- -- -- from -- early times suggests -- that's where that's -- he's gonna -- Is that we've got sociedad because I think you mention he's so Iranian bullies of congenial such an all -- did -- see through -- -- That's -- that's -- many of the great villains of this we have been quite amiable people are you calling Barack Obama delegate.
We'll see how how how does kind of seconds we'll Shelly doesn't the second term I got you got a lot of damage thus -- just think of he will probably be -- look -- the Supreme Court.
With people who BO on that what thirty years from now making rules for our children and grandchildren.
And rubber stamping every access.
Well Obama and his followers.

Rubio and Ryan are thought to be top contenders for the presidency in 2016. Rubio leads a crowded GOP field, according to one poll released Thursday, with support from 18 percent of the Republicans surveyed. Ryan leads the field when it comes to overall favorability though, with about 75 percent of respondents saying they like him, according to the Public Policy Polling survey.
"Rubio's ahead because of his strength with the most conservative wing of the party. Among 'very conservative' voters he's at 23 percent to 17 percent for Paul Ryan and 13 percent for Mike Huckabee," writes Tom Jensen, PPP's polling director, in a memo accompanying the polling results.

text: Princess Nina's sister, Elina, has disappeared. Nina and her friend, Cray, set out to find her. Along the way, they encounter a young warrior name Ryu who has no recollection of his past. This troupe is about to find out that their quest to find Elina will lead them to something much bigger, which will require them to save the world. Take control of the three-member party (there are a total of six playable characters), and lead them into battle. Any member of the group not in the active party can be rotated into battle. When the going gets tough, have Ryu use his ability to transform into a dragon to give you an extra edge. If your characters keep getting killed, have them train under a master to improve their skills. Will Nina and the others be able to find Elina and save the world? Play Breath of Fire IV and find out.

vibe, riding on the psychedelic-tinged swagger of "Lost and Found." Midway through the disc, however, brighter melodies and tones emerge as the instrumentation gets punchier. Despite this slow, subtle shift, the album functions as a congruous set of songs anchored by one person.
The momentum starts to build with "I Don't Hear the Sound of You," an acoustic strummer with a surprisingly jazzy instrumental section. Robinson handles all the guitar and bass work, and even dabbles in organ on a few tracks, most notably on the near-seven-minute "Follow You Forever." Throughout the album, Robinson strategically employs his blues chops, though it appears the folk-inspired Robinson wanted a stripped-down feel for Crooked Sun, as the chords and percussion could easily branch off into epic rock jams. Robinson's masterful playing and ability to find the right outlets give the song skeletons both supple flesh and deep soul.
Other memorable moments include "Hey Fear," for its lingering melody (the album certainly isn't lacking in good melodies, but this one really stays in the head). The guitar firepower increases on "Bye Bye Baby," with Warren Haynes contributing slinky slide licks while Larry Campbell contributes ethereal pedal-steel work.
On "Station Man," Robinson dishes out crunchy chords and arpeggios dotted with vocal calls and responses, but still keeps things from veering too far from the point. The lyrics are fresh and thoughtful—poetic even—but not drenched in sadness.
In general, the quieter Robinson brother's voice is pleasant and soft-spoken—more singer/songwriter-like than what you'd expect from, say, his work with the Crowes. While his solo debut, 2004's Paper, was a heavier, more riff-oriented experiment, Crooked Sun benefits from calculated subtleness that's wholly different from the side he shows with the Crowes— even though he's such a huge part of that band's sound.
Despite being known primarily as a veteran guitarist, Robinson admirably pulls off a triple-threat of feeling in epic riffs, great singing, and interesting lyrics. As a result, the songs stand on their own, rather than coming across as songs written as a showcase for a guitar player. —Tessa Jeffers
MUST-HEAR TRACKS: "Bye Bye Baby" and "Fire Around"
Empros is the album Russian Circles have been striving to concoct since the band's inception seven years ago. On the three previous releases, the instrumental, post-rock juggernauts honed their craft of incrementally building, charismatic, Kraken-summoning riffs from start to finish. But with this fourth release, the Chicago-originated power trio used the right amount of ingredients from its past three recipes to achieve Iron Chef status with Empros. The six-song album intricately blends fat, grisly, discordant riffage with melodic, atmospheric, proggy sprinklings to create a sonically elaborate and raw package.
The opening track "309" goes from 0 to 60 mph on a dime, thanks to drummer Dave Turncrantz's abrasively musical beats and bassist Brian Cook's burly bass progressions. The rhythm section takes the clear lead on the track's first few minutes with fill-in ambient noise-rock runs from guitarist Mike Sullivan. About five minutes into the trek, Sullivan reclaims the lead with a savvy combination of Meshuggah-esque riffing. "Mladek" opens with chimey, delayed arpeggios—à la the Edge—that slowly build. When the song reaches ramming speed, it becomes a musical warfare between all three members—Turncrantz's expanding drum pattern, Cook's trembling bass lines and Sullivan's soaring single notes and eventual pulverizing, palm-muting attack. The effortless ways of "Schipol" and "Atackla" both organically rise by delicately adding a piece to the microcosm of Empros. The rhythmic layering of bass and guitar parts are like Jenga pieces—feats of excruciating genius—assuring that Russian Circles will never need a vocalist.
Russian Circles and producer Brandon Curtis strived to make a record embodying the band's sweltering live performances, and with Empros they succeed by delivering their most dynamically compelling and aggressively brooding batch to date. Each song possesses a clear, distinct evolutionary arc within itself, but every song complements the next, resulting in a cohesively intense rock journey best enjoyed front to back. —Chris Kies

Andy Reiss, Ranger doug, bobby durham The Art of the Archtop Archtop Records If you're a fan of classic archtop guitar, you'll be delighted with this beautifully recorded and relentlessly swinging set of tunes celebrating the f-hole sound. Backed by Bobby Durham on upright bass (and sousaphone on one track), Andy Reiss and Ranger Doug perform timeless music on a collection of vintage D'Angelico and Stromberg 6-strings. Here's the kicker: There are no amps involved. This is strictly an acoustic outing, so the sonic quality of these priceless carved-top instruments comes through loud and clear, colored only by the room and a few high-end mics.

Abstract: This bibliography is aimed at collating information relating to community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in the Southern African region across different sectors and themes. It was primarily compiled to offer material support to researchers participating in the 'Breaking New Ground' – People Centred Approaches to Natural Resource Management and Development Programme – a joint venture of the Centre for Applied Social Sciences, University of Zimbabwe (CASS) and the Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape (PLAAS). It is also aimed at providing a resource to practitioners, policy- and decision-makers and researchers in southern Africa. The bibliography includes references to a variety of previously undocumented sources of information. The focus of this work, whilst including annotations on wildlife, moves beyond this traditional view of CBNRM to include other sectors. It embraces second or third generation issues ranging from the contribution of CBNRM to rural livelihoods and resource condition, to investigating policy issues around CBNRM and issues of power and authority over land and natural resources.

Abstract: Small-scale fisheries are a major source of food and employment around the world. Yet, many small-scale fishers work in conditions that are neither safe nor secure. Millions of them are poor, and often they are socially and politically marginalized. Macro-economic and institutional mechanisms are essential to address these poverty and vulnerability problems; however, interventions at the local community level are also necessary. This requires deep understanding of what poverty means to the fishers, their families and communities; how they cope with it; and the challenges they face to increase resilience and improve their lives. This book provides a global perspective, situating small-scale fisheries within the broad academic discourse on poverty, fisheries management and development. In-depth case studies from fifteen countries in Latin America, Europe, South and Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrate the enormously complex ecological, economic, social, cultural and political contexts of this sector. Conclusions for policy-making, formulated as a joint statement by the authors, argue that fisheries development, poverty alleviation, and resource management must be integrated within a comprehensive governance approach that also looks beyond fisheries.

Abstract: In party organisational terms, the rise of Jacob Zuma to the Presidency of the African National Congress (ANC) is a victory for the alliance partners and the struggle-era vision of the ANC as a popular front, or the 'ANC as alliance', as against Mbeki's centralised and exclusionary practice. Accidentally, this renaissance of the ANC as alliance is good for democracy in South Africa understood in both liberal and participatory terms. On the one hand, the factionalism in the party provided for an alternation of leadership not possible through formal elections; and perhaps not desirable at this time. Further, the emergence of Congress of the People (COPE) promises a more meaningful party pluralism, taking the pressure for democratic competition off ANC internal processes into the future. On the other hand, the renaissance of the ANC as alliance provides better access to government by organisations, especially COSATU, who have a proven record in mobilising working and poor people around key social issues from land to HIV-AIDS and Zimbabwe. In this way the chances of greater inclusion in national decision-making are heightened, at least for some marginalised groups. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/482 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In international relations states labelled as 'middle powers' are often responsible for crafting a middle way to bridge conflicting international interests. They typically favour multilateralism and cooperative international behaviour. Middle power diplomacy has played a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. South Africa has played the role of a middle power in nuclear diplomacy since 1994, drawing on its moral position after giving up its nuclear weapons. This role has especially involved joining the efforts of middle powers in the North, such as Norway and Canada, to indefinitely extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). However, South Africa's foreign policy has shown a gradual shift away from a middle power orientation not least due to an increasing non-aligned position that calls for deep reforms to the perceived unfair world order tilted in the favour of the developed North. This shift is also visible in South African nuclear diplomacy and is eroding the middle ground that has so far sustained the nonproliferation regime. The paper argues that South Africa's middle power diplomacy has allowed it to punch above its weight in the nuclear realm, but its pursuit of international reforms has resulted in the drawing of a fault line between developed and developing countries. It is in the interest of nuclear non-proliferation to regain the middle ground by forming broad coalitions amongst all actors interested in nuclear disarmament.

Abstract: Summary: The paper argues that the practice of democratic mediation is an increasingly common, yet under-researched, component of engagements between citizens and public authorities across the globe. While the actors who mediate (and their tactics) are diverse and are not necessarily of the marginalised group, they share a commitment to overcoming representational, knowledge or ideological deficits in decision-making for the marginalised group. While the 'speaking for' nature of democratic mediation clearly opens up critical legitimacy problems, the practice of democratic mediation appears to be remarkably common, and even effective. The paper demonstrates this by surveying at least three kinds of democratic mediation observed across a large number of cases. First is 'mediation as professional advocacy'. The mediator in these cases is more an 'interested intermediary' in contentious policy politics. In a context of skewed powerrelations where certain groups remain systematically marginalised, not least through knowledge and representational deficits, a degree of advocacy is required to get more egalitarian policy dialogue. Second is 'mediation as representational entrepreneurship'. This refers to engagements between citizens and forms of public authority that stretch from the local to the global level. In more 'global-local' mobilisations, mediators are often experts, professionals, and international NGOs. In more 'local – global' movements, the mediators are 'hybrid activists' deeply rooted in the local identities and associations. However, in either case the actor is distinguished by the taking of initiative to include the voices of the marginalised in a domain of power-relations which is multi-level. Lastly, 'mediation as citizenship development' refers to forms of activism typically associated with community and capacity development, and usually involves limited advocacy by civil society organisations (CSOs). Hence there 04 IDS WORKING PAPER 364 may be little by way of explicit mediation in local governance decision-making in these cases, although the empowerment of communities has a demonstrable and mostly positive impact on local governance.

Abstract: The new cabinet ushered in after the 2009 national elections features new and renamed ministries. Those expected to take the lead in a new initiative to resuscitate the rural economy are the Ministry of Rural Development and Land Reform and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. While the newfound priority placed on rural development is welcome, its separation from the dynamic subsectors in the rural economy is not. This brief shows how existing policies are bifurcated between BEE models for the better off and welfare for the poor. There is now a danger that the two ministries will replicate the dualism of the so-called 'first' and 'second' economies – an approach that deepens exclusion from and legitimises exploitation in the economic core, and prevents the creation of a 'missing middle' of successful small producers. What is needed instead is rural development that restructures the commercial sectors of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and the exploitative class relations (with workers and small producers) on which they are based, and which breaks down the concentration of capital and market power in few hands. Only then can redistributing land, forests and fishing quotas create new pathways for 'the rural poor' to participate, and produce, in these sectors in ways that create livelihoods and jobs, and set South Africa on a different and more appropriate growth path.

Abstract: Small, home-based grocery stores, known as spaza shops, are ubiquitous throughout the township areas of urban South Africa, constituting an important business in the informal economy. In recent years, this retail market has become a site of fierce competition between South African shopkeepers and foreign entrepreneurs, especially Somalis, and is often cited in the media as one reason behind the xenophobic attacks on foreigners. Drawing on original data collected in the Delft township in the city of Cape Town, this paper demonstrates that foreign entrepreneurs, overwhelmingly Somalis, have come to own around half of the sizeable spaza market in Delft in the last five years. This increase is attributable to larger scale and price competitive behaviour as these entrepreneurs operate collectively in terms of buying shops, and stock, as well as in stock distribution. Also important are some more customer friendly services too. Compared to the more 'survivalist' local business model where individual owners look to supplement existing household income rather than generate an entire livelihood, the Somali business model has rapidly outcompeted local owners, bringing spaza prices down and forcing many locals to rent out their shop space to foreign shopkeepers. Consequently, while South African shopkeepers resent the Somali influx, most consumers appreciate the better prices and improved service. The rise of Somali shopkeepers thus represents a transformation of business practice in the spaza sector from survivalist to entrepreneurial modes URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/517 Files in this item: 1

The discussion is based on case study research undertaken in Khayelitsha, Site C, where women involved in incomegenerating projects (IGPs) have also been involved in a dual strategy of trying to improve their living conditions through active engagement. The article looks at the intermediary institutions, the South African national Civics Association (SANCO) and the Khayelitsha Development Forum (KDF) which mediate the participatory spaces for engagement created by local government, and how these organisations serve ordinary men and women from the townships in terms of helping them to attain a better quality of life.

Abstract: In recent times South African politics has come to exhibit features typical of many post-colonial contexts, not least the rise of acrimonious and confrontational politics based around personalities and forms of populism. In such contexts rational dialogue and democratic deliberation become increasingly difficult to get going and to sustain. Drawing on Richard Turner's The Eye of the Needle, first published some forty years ago, the paper examines the role religion, and religious organisations, could play in returning such acrimonious public debate to more democratic and visionary grounds. The key point is that religion offers a form of transcendence from the divisive and bitter particularities that animate contemporary political conflicts. It does this through the spiritual affirmation of our shared human worth due to the love of God(s). From this recognition, achieved through spiritual appeals, the conditions for more rational and democratic debate can be retrieved. In addition, religious transcendence redeems the value of utopian thinking, and thus could help re-orientate public debate from a politics of blame for past wrongs to a politics of imagining of future rights.

Piper, Laurence (SUN Press, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: This chapter argues that local government elections offer a unique opportunity in South Africa's political system for voters to practice forms of democracy that are more local, plural and accountable in character than at provincial or national level. A key reason for this is the mixed electoral system where half of all councillors are directly elected from the wards in which they live. The 2011 election supplied significant evidence of voters attempting to make use of this opportunity, particularly around the candidate selection process of the major parties, and through the accountability talk that dominated public debate. However, analysis of both 'supply' (party behaviour) and 'demand' (voter choice) suggests that this democratic potential was outweighed by bipartisan politics between the ANC and DA which affirmed the national over the local, a choice between two parties over many, and reinforced identity-based political loyalties over the direct accountability of politicians. In short, the 2011 elections were rendered a proxy for a national competition, frustrating much of the unique democratic potential that local government elections offer, effectively taking local politics further from the people. The proposal to hold national, provincial and local elections simultaneously in the future will further impede the democratic potential of the local electoral system.

Abstract: This report describes the 'living law' of land in one part of Msinga, a deep rural area of KwaZulu-Natal. It presents research findings from the Mchunu and Mthembu tribal areas, where a three-year action-research project was carried out by staff of the Mdukutshani Rural Development Programme. Launched in 2007, at a time when implementation of the Communal Land Rights Act of 2004 (CLRA) appeared imminent, the project aimed to gain a detailed understanding of land tenure in Msinga, facilitate local-level discussion of potential solutions to emerging problems around land rights, provide information on the CLRA to residents and authority structures, and help generate ideas on how local people could engage with the new law. Meetings, interviews and focus groups convened by the project between 2007 and 2009 generated lively discussions and debates on a range of issues and problems related to land tenure in Msinga. Policy-makers need to consider how to convene conversations of this kind, on a large scale, before they launch a new round of tenure reform policy formulation and law making. Our experience suggests that well designed processes are critically important to ensure informed discussion, but also that ordinary rural people, not just their leaders, are more than ready to engage in debates about policies that could have major impacts on their lives.

The report has a two-fold emphasis: its primary focus is on rural restitution claims where land has been restored, but it also addresses rural land reform more generally. Where land ownership has been transferred to land reform beneficiaries, similar patterns and challenges may arise, regardless of whether the land was acquired through the redistribution or the restitution route.

Abstract: About two thirds of the WTO's around 150 members are developing countries. They play an increasingly important and active role in the WTO because of their numbers, because they are becoming more important in the global economy, and because they increasingly look to trade as a vital tool in their development efforts. An attempt is made in this paper to examine whether the WTO policies have positive or negative effect on the trade of developing countries. The paper further discusses that the Doha Round of Talk is a myth, a fiction, or is it a reality. Can the spirit of Doha, which launched a new round of negotiations and work with an explicit pledge to deliver development-friendly results, be redeemed or not? Finally, it analyses the special differential treatment (SDT) for developing countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/531 Files in this item: 1

The gentle, mysterious white beluga whale is one of our park's most sociable animals. Born dark grey, their signature white color is actually a clever camouflage belugas develop by maturity, allowing them to swim peacefully in the waters of their icy arctic homes.
Nicknamed "sea canaries" by mariners, belugas are often heard before seen thanks to their unmistakable birdlike songs. Instead of dorsal fins, they have a low dorsal ridge that lets them easily swim beneath thick ice sheets and find breathing holes; a pretty cool adaptation essential to life in one of the coldest regions of the globe.
Q: Where are belugas found? SW: They make their homes in the Arctic ocean and its adjoining seas, including the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska and the Hudson Bay, among others.
Q: Are they endangered? SW: In Alaska, about 375 beluga whales live in the northern part of Cook Inlet. Unfortunately, this population is listed as endangered due to its small size and lack of recovery from earlier hunting and other threats.
Q: What do they eat? SW: Beluga whales eat about 100 different types of mainly bottom-dwelling animals like octopus, squid, crabs, snails, sandworms, and a variety of fishes.
Q: How big do they get? SW: Males average around 11 to 15 feet long, females are only slightly smaller, averaging around 9.5 to 13 feet. They weigh an average of about 3,000 pounds.

The Red Sox and Jarrod Saltalamacchia avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million deal today. Now the Sox have eight other arbitration-eligible free agents to take care of.
Meanwhile, the long-running Mike Napoli saga appears to have ended. From a three-year, $39 million deal, Napoli has agreed to accept a one-year deal believed to be worth $5 million, with incentives, to play first base for the Sox next season. The hangup had been abnormalities with his hip, forcing the Sox to revise their original offer.
Meanwhile, Shane Victorino, as expected, has been named to the USA team in the World Baseball Classic, a move that'll surely not thrill his new bosses.

Steamboat Springs The storms of late December have boosted statewide snowpack to between 70 percent and 85 percent of normal, and Northwest Colorado, where the combined Yampa and White river basins stand at 84 percent of average, is leading the way.
At Ripple Creek Pass in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area south of Steamboat Springs, the snowpack is 100 percent of average. Closer to Yampa, at Crosho Lake in South Routt County, the snowpack is 111 percent of average. On the west summit of Rabbit Ears Pass, the snow is 80 percent of average, and at Dry Lake, on the edge of Strawberry Park just outside Steamboat, it stands at 88 percent.
Although it was snowing lightly near the base of Steamboat Ski Area when dawn came Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Grand Junction was anticipating high pressure and sunshine to prevail with lower-than-usual temperatures this week.
"The storm cycle has been broken under building high pressure," National Weather Service meteorologists wrote Wednesday afternoon. "A highly amplified ridge (of high pressure) along the West Coast today (settles) in the Great Basin through Thursday night. This brings a light northeast flow aloft, sunny skies and milder temperatures to the mountain slopes. The valley bottoms will remain strongly capped (by an inversion) with well below normal temperatures."
Despite the inversion, the National Weather Service forecasts daily high temperatures in the 20s through Sunday.
Steamboat Ski Area's report of a 43-inch base at midmountain still ranks it high among Colorado resorts, especially the larger destination resorts.
Aspen Mountain has a midmountain base of 24 inches, Copper stands at 27 inches and Vail reports 25 inches as its base. Breckenridge has a 32-inch base.
Powderhorn, on the Grand Mesa east of Grand Junction, has a 41-inch base, and Wolf Creek, on the southern edge of the San Juan Mountains, leads the pack with 46 inches at midmountain.

{president's message} We Are Listening
By Kimberly Allard-Moccia
I make it my business to connect in a personal way to as many REALTORS® as I possibly can through Facebook, LinkedIn, live meetings and events across the state. Your Association tries to do the same through its valuable services and programs it offers members.
I'm proud to say that the Association took a step further towards its goal to become better connected by conducting a full member-wide Research Project in late 2012. This project began in late summer, and over the course of a few months, a professional research firm contacted several hundred Massachusetts REALTORS® via telephone to find out how we can better serve you, the member.
Your Association has been working tirelessly to develop programs, services, and benefits so that you truly know you get what you pay for in member dues. Yet, we wanted to make sure that we were on the right path, that we knew who our members are and what they really need to help them succeed in their businesses.
And you told us a lot. Newer members are challenged to sustain their business in the current economy and want more sales and technology tools to improve productivity and profitability. You told us that you value the communication we provide you, but you want more specific information on top agent best practices and listing and selling strategies.
More training and education on social media was a prevalent request among members who were interviewed. We all dabble in social media, but how can we increase our business from it? And many of you also need assistance in getting buyers off the proverbial fence and into the marketplace. The information gained from the Research Project was invaluable to us. I welcome you to visit marealtor.com under Research and you can view the complete results of the Project.
As your Association's volunteer leaders, we used the findings from the research to develop a new Strategic Plan that embraces practical ways our committees can tackle the charge you've communicated. And the 2013 Leadership Team, Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and all the other committee members welcome the opportunity to address the needs we heard from you. We will work for you to help your business grow, help motivate the buyer, and help make the industry stronger and the Association more empowered through listening and learning from each other.

Tippmann TPX Pistol Holster – Available mid April, 2009
Posted by paintballtech on March 23, 2009
One of the first Tippmann TPX accessories out is the Tippmann TPX Pistol Leg Holster. It's going to be available at the same time that the Tippmann TPX Pistol is released. (Around Mid April, 2009)
A lot of thought went in to this new holster. You don't have to choose left or right side. It's reversible! The body is removeable so you can move the hoslter to one side or the other and attach the body as needed.
It's also fully adjustable. The belt strap and leg strap are adjustable so it's comfortable on just about everyone. The Tippmann TPX Pistol itself is held in place with heavy-duty nylon straps. It won't fall out.
There are two removable storage pouches. So you can go light and quick or loaded for the day. The side pouch will hold 4 extra TPX Pistol Magazines and a barrel plug. The front pouch can hold another Tippmann TPX Pistol Magazine. Add the one in the gun and you can carry 6 magazines.
You can order the Tippmann TPX Pistol online at TippmannParts.com.

Not sure if a shot using the Lee BIG Stopper has ever been posted from this particular spot ... well, it has now
Sad tale [for me] really, a couple of days earlier in the holiday I managed to break mine in two, so I had to borrow Frans & Richs if I wanted to do a long exposure - cheers guys I suppose now I'll have to get right to the back of the queue again
Anyway, this was taken about 20 minutes before my previous upload from here.
Tech details: 400 secs @ f14, ISO 100 + 0.9 ND Grad + 3.0 Lee BIG Stopper.
Cheers for popping in, will catch up when I can throughout the day

I mark this 100 out of 20! Excelent my favourite today!
You might try Studio Kit Direct for another Big Stopper, this is a small Company but whan it was launched every Company was quoting two months for delivery, these people had stock, I use them for all my Lee products because they seem to have stock when other large companies dont, phone 01746 769768 www.studiokitdirect.com
Talk to Peter Rogers.
Just a thought if your home insurance covers your photography kit claim for this!
Prefer last weeks natural look but still a good one.
s'alright, I'll take half the credit for the shot then
tidy matey, very tidy.....
This is why we go where we go, and do what we do Paul, a stunning image, I just wish it were mine. Bet that was a sickening crack of the big stopper :-( Shortlisted...
As has been said Paul, this is a stunner.
Sorry about the BS, I was gutted last year when I leaned on my ProGlass ND and heard that sickening sound. Never mind though, I've heard that they're not compatible with 5D's so Fran won't be able to use hers
Brilliant shot showing foreground detail and pleasant backdrop. Good tonel range throughout. well done.
Beautiful stark image of the Cuillin behind and the colour on the big pebble is gorgeous. Sorry about the filter, sadly the queue starts somewhere near Timbuktu.
Quote: Never mind though, I've heard that they're not compatible with 5D's so Fran won't be able to use hers
She must've got a dud then coz it seems to work pretty nicely
LOL @ Dougie, how much is the bus fare to Timbuktu then?
Cheers all for your time and comments and a big thanks to Stace too for the GEA ... nice one
put the order in, you'll have the money by the time it arrives, they dont take any money til they dispatch. far too long to wait otherwise
you'll just have to sell a couple of prints or your body good luck with the prints
Quote: As has been said Paul, this is a stunner.
Sorry about the BS, I was gutted last year when I leaned on my ProGlass ND and heard that sickening sound. Never mind though, I've heard that they're not compatible with 5D's so Fran won't be able to use hers
Mine works fine, never heard anything like that before!
Great shot mate
Late getting to this one Paul - cant really add to all thats been said, its a beauty and worthy of all its accolades.
Bad news about the Big Ten - like you said its a long queue for a new one, they are becoming rarer than rocking horse Sh*t.
cool, well done mate, no surprise there then..... now do I get the 49% of the E or the C? or shall we cut them both in half?
Very nice Paul, I like the soft water against the nicely lit rocks and the Cuillin looks good in partial silhouette but the top right rocks look a bit too dark for the rest of the image. I'm assuming its close to sunset with the bright western sky, if so the rocks would look better evenly lit perhaps.
Magic place...magic shot...congrats on the award to.
This was taken probably about an hour and a quarter before official sunset John and the sun is behind the cloud out of shot to the left. The dark rock is just a result of the BIG stopper vignette plus an overlapped grad, something I suppose could recover in post by blending another shot in, though admittedly it doesn't unduly worry me on this one but thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks guys, have a great evening.
Nothing to add to whats already been so well said.

Alumni Feedback
'The MSc in Wild Animal Biology is a unique opportunity to benefit not only from the knowledge and experiences of experts from around the world, but also from the exchange of ideas between the zoologists and veterinarians that come to the course from a variety of backgrounds. I learned far more than I expected to in the space of just one year.'
Avanti Wadugodapitiya, Sri Lanka.
'After several years of searching for the right graduate program, I was inspired to pursue the MSc Wild Animal Biology course. I had been working as a big cat keeper at Busch Gardens in hometown of Tampa, Florida for six years. While it was a difficult decision to leave a career I loved, I went on the journey to study abroad to gain a greater understanding of conservation and wild animal management on a global level. This unique course encompassed all aspects of conservation -- in situ and ex situ wild animal management, veterinary medicine, epidemiology, and research. The lecturers were amazing, truly leaders in conservation. The research component of the degree was exhilarating as we could design any project based on our interests. I chose to study polar bear behaviour, where I spent time at zoos in five different European countries, gaining insight into their ex situ management. The very best part of the course was collaborating and developing close friendships with people from all around the world.'
Ashleigh Lutz, USA.
'It was really fantastic for me. I got theoretical as well as practical knowledge from this course which proved invaluable in my career when working on the rehabilitation of native wildlife. My MSc dissertation provided me the opportunity to study a particular species, the Common Swift, which has since been my main focus of interest and further, future research ( www.falciotnegre.com

The increasing number of homeowners, businesses, and municipalities connecting solar panels and wind turbines to the region's power grid receive a little-known subsidy, and the cost is being borne by other utility customers. The surcharge on customers who do not feed into the grid has become increasingly controversial as state lawmakers this month hash out the language of a bill that would double the amount of power utility companies could buy from those producing their own energy.

I bet everybody was tired of all the fake Revolution interface screenshots that were released within the past few months. Well, today thanks to Kotaku, we now have images of what could be the first PlayStation 3 interface. Check them out below. No official word from Sony on this recent development.
Far too basic and bland in my opinion, it doesn't exactly yell PS3 at me. Still, they're very unlikey to be legitimate anyway.
FATS you goon, this has already been posted and discusses
I will now hunt you down and kill you for yor sins!
Beter go to the God Section on your PS3 and pray!
wow....if you can talk to god with your ps3 it really will be market leader.... (see first pic)
or maybe a picture of a ps3 comes up when you click it?
Damn... Too slow as usual. You have to be quick as f**k in the Playstation 3 section it would seem.Originally Posted by Dude
Yeah, it's a great idea Viper lol... It's just that most of the information within the PS3 section is very bogged down, within other threads. It makes the whole searching process a little longer. Forgive my impatience!
For instance, this is what appears when I type in PS3 interface...
Only search in the PS3 board.
It's number 9.
You can limit the search by either clicking Advanced Search in the search box or by going into the PS3 board and clicking Search in the top right side of the threads index.
Do'h, thanks for that. The advanced search feature was something that I always neglected.
*notes for future reference*
Anyways, about the interface, I think it looks good, but not for a game console. I can see this kind of interface more on my computer for some kind of Sony Media Center (something to compete with Windows Media Center) or on a Blu-Ray home player or somethin'.
