With the "Dancing" Final Four performance show and a special preview of "Motive" (prior to its debut on Thursday at 9:00 p.m.), ABC was Monday's most-watched television network for the 5th consecutive week (topping all 4 Mondays of the May Sweep), outdrawing runner-up NBC by 3.1 million viewers (12.2 million vs. 9.1 million).

Raleigh, N.C. — Slide the City returns to the Oak City Saturday, and more people than ever before are expected to enjoy shorter wait times and splashy rides down Glenwood Avenue on the 1,000 foot world record-breaking slip-and-slide.
Riders need to sign up in advance to participate in this all-day event, which draws tremendous crowds from both in and around Raleigh. The event, which sold out last year, was a huge success, but many riders complained about the wait to slide.
This year, event organizers have changed things up a little bit to address that issue. "We are now implementing waves into registration," said Brad Behle, an Event Director for Slide the City. "This means that everyone has a block of time they sign up for to slide."
Tickets for the event, which range from just over $10 to $99 depending on sliding frequency and time of purchase, enable riders to ride once, three times or as many times as they can fit into the eight-hour sliding block. As Behle said, all sliders will sign up for particular blocks of time in which they can slide.
Slide the City is a national event that has reached 32 states and some locations in Canada, so the new organizational method has already been tested in other cites. "It has changed the wait times dramatically and added a lot to the overall experience of the event," said Behle.
The big green water slide, which is padded for riders' comfort, was made in the United States and travels throughout the country to bring Slide the City to different areas. Although the slide is only open from noon - 7 p.m., sliders and onlookers can arrive early and stay late to enjoy a family-friendly block party with live music, food, drinks and local vendors.
Ticket options
Tickets are still available on the event website for triple slider, single slider, ultimate slider and all-day slider options. All ticket options come with a drawstring bag and a mouth guard, but larger packages come with T-shirts, inflatable tubes and more.
All riders are required to slide on tubes. If your ticket doesn't include a tube, you can bring your own or purchase one at the event. The event will be held at 200 Glenwood Avenue.

Round up of maker-made Iron Man costumes.
Here are some of the best attempts at building a suit of Iron Man armor on the cheap, made with not much more than some decent sculpting skills, an eye for detail, a stick or two of hot glue, lots of free time, and a desperate need to impress your friends and random YouTube visitors. They don't fly, they don't shoot anything, and they'll barely protect you; but damned if we aren't still jealous of each and every one of them.

4-6 is a safe bet. We should get more respect, we are getting more from anylists this year, I think it's our turn to pick up a couple nationally televised games.. Though it's still Indiana with no superstars, so your only gonna have so many in this league.
How many nat'l games did Philly get this season? I think our number next year is going to be similar if we do not clear the first round. If we do go on a nice run and make the 2nd round opponent work... Maybe we get on as many times as Memphis did this year.
At any rate, I just don't see us being on more than a handful of times because we don't have that name on the roster that is "Must see TV"
...Still "flying casual"
And for what I remember the transition defenses were stellar as well.
I am trying to locate a listing of how many times each team was on TNT, ESPN and ABC.
Note this was to have been the schedule if a full season took place. Click on the link to see a complete list of the schedule. Here is the breakdown by team .
Blazers and Warriors were scheduled for too many. The Grizzlies should have been a lot more.
Lakers - 25
Heat - 25
Celtics - 24
Bulls - 24
Mavs - 23
Knicks - 22
Thunder - 19
Magic - 14
Blazers - 14
Spurs - 14
Nuggets - 14
Clippers - 13
Warriors - 10
Suns - 10
Hawks - 8
Grizzlies - 5
Sixers - 5
Jazz - 4
Hornets - 2
Rockets - 2
Raptors - 1
Wizards - 1
Cavs - 1
Bucks - 1
Pistons - 1
Pacers - 1
Kings - 1
T-Wolves - 1
Nets - 0
Bobcats - 0
The Lakers and Heat lead the way in national TV appearances, with 25 each. The Celtics (24), Bulls (23), Mavericks (23), Knicks (22) and Thunder (19) follow.
Twenty-eight of the NBA's thirty teams are scheduled to make a national TV appearance this season, including the likes of the Kings, Bucks, Timberwolves, Wizards, and even the Pistons.
The only teams left off the national TV slate were the Nets and Bobcats

To me ESPN2 is almost the same difference as ESPN. To him, it's on NBATV level.
Which do you agree with?
Other than some not-so-forced missed layups/shots, I agree.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Surprise surprise the Grizz and Sixers were to have the same number of appearances.
ESPN2 only has had 1 game all season and they were scheduled to have no games if the full season had been played. So why does it matter
In the playoffs ESPN2 will have some games when they already have two on ESPN
But to answer your question ESPN2 is a lot closer to ESPN than NBATV. but is is still not quite ESPN. if ESPN is 100 and NBTV is 10. ESPN2 is about a 90

Just before 11pm last night and after a long, damp (and very cold) wait, Team GB's 300 paralympians finally marched (and rolled, in Union Jack wheelchairs) out into the Olympic Stadium to David Bowie's Heroes.
Almost every one of the 62,000-strong audience was on their feet. Boris Johnson was clapping like a maniac. Half the Royal Box was up clapping and beaming and jigging about.
Princess Anne may or may not have been weeping behind a pair of very strange sunglasses. Tickertape was raining down and eyes were brimming and hearts swelling painfully - even in the press seats.

More Ag News
At around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, police responded to a residence in the 300 block of East 8th on a reported disturbance involving a bleeding male running into a home there.
Brown said the attack continued inside the home, with Levi continuing to punch, kick and choke the alleged victim. Both Curt and Levi held the victim and restrained him from leaving when the man tried to escape.
Eventually, the man got away and ran next door, seeking safety. The homeowner of that home in the 300 block of E. 8th secured the front door and kept the pursuing Levi Bohman from getting in, Brown said.
The Bohmans left the scene before police arrived.
The victim, Stephen Kent, was transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center emergency room where he was treated for minor injuries to his arms, neck, chest, head and back and released, Brown said.
On Monday, an investigator questioned Levi Bohman and arrested him.
Bohman was initially charged with first-degree false imprisonment, strangulation, two counts of assault, criminal trespassing, disturbing the peace as well as two counts of child abuse (due to fear to children that was caused when Bohman tried to enter the next-door home where the victim ran to hide.)
In court, Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Austen Leighty asked for a bond of $250,000. Leighty said it was particularly violent crimes and spilled over from Kents house to the neighbor's, where Kent ran for help.
The charges read in court were false imprisonment, strangulation, assault, terroristic threats and trespassing.
Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull said a $250,000 bond would be greater than the sentencing parameters and set bond at $150,000.
Bohman asked for a public defender.
The neighbor, Jessica Yearling, was in court. She broke into tears during the arraignment.
Curt Bohman was also arrested Tuesday and charged with false imprisonment, trespassing and assault.

Ausar Walcott turned himself in to Passaic police Tuesday after he was identified as a suspect in an incident that happened around 3 a.m. Sunday.
The linebacker was signed by the Browns May 13 following a tryout. The team announced his release Wednesday.
Walcott, 23, is charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault and third-degree endangering an injured victim, said Salvatore Bellomo, a senior assistant prosecutor. He said the complaint alleges Walcott punched a man in the head. The Record newspaper said the Hackensack, N.J., native and former University of Virginia player struck 24-year-old Derrick Jones just after The Palace Gentlemen's Club closed. Police told the newspaper that Jones, who is from New York City, was critically injured. Walcott was being held on $500,000 bail. It's not clear if he has a defense lawyer.
His release came on day after the AFC's rookies visited the Browns' facility as part of the NFL's Rookie Symposium, four days of seminars and meetings designed to prepare the drafted first-year players for life as a professional on and off the field.
Lawsuit dismissed against Denver CB: A Denver judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a woman who accused former Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault.
Court documents show the case was dismissed last week at both parties' request, with no one admitting fault.
Attorneys for both sides mentioned a confidential agreement reached outside of court in declining to comment Wednesday.
The woman had sued after jurors acquitted Cox of criminal charges alleging he sexually assaulted the woman at his apartment in 2010 after a night of partying. She remembered little of what happened but became pregnant, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father.
Colts WR suspended: Colts receiver LaVon Brazill has been suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
Neither the Colts nor the league said what Brazill tested positive for. He will be eligible to return to the active roster following Indy's game Sept. 29 against Jacksonville, though he will be eligible to practice at training camp and will be able to play in all four preseason games.
A team spokesman said the team would not comment on the suspension.

Tampa, FL, United States, 2009/08/10 - Contract enables DocuVantage to offer its on-demand document and business process management platform to local, state and federal government purchasers - DocuVantage.com.
Document Advantage Corporation, (DocuVantage), has been awarded a contract with the General Services Administration (GSA). This agreement distinguishes DocuVantage as an approved Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendor offering DocuVantage OnDemand®, a subscription based document and business process management platform that includes records management, collaboration and email and fax management, to government purchasers through the GSA.
As the government embraces cloud computing in their business initiatives to save on costs, DocuVantage has passed a strenuous review in order to better serve these organizations. Utilizing DocuVantages online document management platform is appealing to government entities because they do not have to purchase and manage the physical infrastructure, letting accountability and responsibility for performance of the software application lie solely in the hands of DocuVantage. By using DocuVantages online platform, government organizations will save large sums of money and time spent on traditional on-premise document management solutions.
The GSA approval process was quite extensive as DocuVantage OnDemand® was one of the first SaaS document and business process management suites to go through the review, but it was worth the wait, said Jana Wiggins, president and CEO of DocuVantage. We look forward to offering the GSA contract to our existing government base, as well as to other agencies, that until now due to budget constraints, have not been able to take advantage of todays document and information management technologies. DocuVantage OnDemand® will help them run their departments more efficiently and better serve their communities.
This acquisition, under Schedule 70, contract GS-35F-0208T, provides DocuVantages online document and business process management platform to federal, state and local government customers at a discounted rate. A subscription to DocuVantage OnDemand® gives government agencies a way to streamline and reduce unnecessary costs such as the cost of securely storing and protecting paper files, business process workflow inefficiency and records retention compliance costs. Now, as an authorized GSA vendor, DocuVantage can offer federal agencies the best rate for managing their documents, contracts and records online.
DocuVantage OnDemand® is a secure and scalable application which can be customized to meet the needs of all departments in government. The user-friendly application allows government agencies to securely store, manage and retrieve their documents and information online in a format that is as easy-to-use as searching the internet. With DocuVantage OnDemand®, customers do not buy and install any hardware or software and DocuVantage provides continual monitoring and uptime for its application, eliminating the purchasers accountability for performance and removing the burden for the agencys IT department.
GSAs shopping and ordering system, GSA Advantage!®, enables easy accessibility and a simple order process through its one-stop online resource for thousands of government employees worldwide. To purchase DocuVantage OnDemand®, GSAs approved SaaS document and business process management application, simply register on the GSA Advantage!® website.

The bv-Control for Windows Password Analysis Settings Wizard lets you configure your bv-Control for Windows Password Analysis Settings. You click Next to begin the wizard.
Windows stores passwords in a "hashed" format. When data is hashed, it is encrypted using a nonreversible encryption algorithm. It is not possible to return the information to a form that you can read or understand. It is possible to unhash text and compare that to the hashed text. If the newly hashed text matches the stored hashed password, then the text that bv-Control for Windows generates must match the original unhashed form of the password.
The Password Analysis Settings Wizard lets you configure how bv-Control for Windows retrieves the hashed passwords from domains and computers. The wizard also lets you configure how Password Analysis is performed.
The password data is encrypted while in transit. When the Query Engine uses the password data for analysis, the password data remains hashed. Humans cannot read the hashed information. The information is never written to a file on the disk. On completion of analysis, the Query Engine automatically writes a string of zeros (0)to the memory that stores the hashed password data.
When you do Password Analysis, bv-Control for Windows connects to the target domain or computer and retrieves the hashed passwords.
For each user in the scope of a Password Analysis query, bv-Control for Windows lets you check for the following situations:

So right now Coco is located in my room with her Nic Condo. I am debating on whether i should move her to our finished basement or not and get her an xpen. Currently she gets free time a little before i head to work and from about 5-10 at night. Our basement is nice, but doesnt get much traffic, but then again neither does my room. If i did move her downstairs i would bring up up stairs for her normal free roam. The plus of her cage being upstairs is she knows where her litter box is and she is comfortable there.
I would really love to get her a friend but as i live with my parents they wouldnt be to happy for another critter (but they do like coco!).
What do you guys think?

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A prison nurse isn't immune from being sued over an inmate's 2009 death following a violent seizure from alcohol withdrawals, a federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday.
Nurse Jennifer McCune had sought immunity as a government employee in the death of Michael Reid at the Richland County jail in Mansfield in northern Ohio.
A lower court denied that request in July 2011, and a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati upheld that decision in its ruling Tuesday.
"A reasonable jury could conclude that McCune acted with a perverse disregard for a risk under Ohio law," the panel wrote, calling Reid's death "tragic."
McCune's phone number wasn't listed, and her Columbus attorney, Daniel Downey, didn't immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.
Reid was taken to the jail after he was arrested on April 2, 2009, on a probation violation for drinking alcohol; his blood-alcohol level was .35 percent, more than four times the legal limit, according to court records.
When he arrived at the jail, Reid was taken to McCune after he and his probation officers repeatedly alerted jail staff that Reid experiences seizures when he stops drinking, according to court records.
Although McCune first decided that Reid should be taken to a hospital after she found that he had a racing pulse and was dehydrated, she later approved him to be admitted into the jail instead and ordered that he be given medication once he started showing withdrawal symptoms, court records show.
A jail physician later testified that Reid should have been given medication within an hour of his arrival.
Reid never was given medication and had a seizure about 12 hours after he was booked into jail, hitting his head on a concrete bunk as he fell to the ground, according to court records. He was declared brain dead and taken off life support five days later.
In March 2010, Reid's family sued McCune, other prison staff members, the jail itself and the county, alleging infringement of Reid's constitutional rights, medical negligence and wrongful death.
With the exception of McCune, all the other individuals named in the lawsuit were later found to be immune from being sued because of their status as government employees.
McCune was denied that same immunity after a federal judge found that she had acted recklessly and with deliberate indifference by placing Reid in a concrete cell knowing that he would go into alcohol withdrawal and that there were no medications in the jail at the time to treat him.
The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $375,000.

The mandatory title defense of heavyweight world champion Vitali Klitschko of Ukraine was not addressed during the mandatory meetings on Wednesday because mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne and his promoter, Camille Estephan, both of Canada, did not arrive until today.
K2 Promotion's Tom Loeffler of the U.S., said that Klitschko requested the WBC to wait until November 30 for his confirmation that he's ready for his mandatory defense. Estephan accepted and replied, "We are willing to wait to make this fight happen, and we are looking forward to making this fight happen."
Mauricio Sulaiman proposed a heavyweight tournament of the top five or six contenders to determine the next mandatory world title challenger, which was approved by the Board.
A video was shown illustrating the success of the WBC's instant replay rule, which has been used in fights, whenever possible, for five years, and the WBC's open scoring rule that has been used in fights, whenever possible, for six years. The Continental Federations were urged to continue to increase their use in their areas.
Ring Officials Board Chairman Hubert Minn of the U.S. gave a report on Monday's referees and judges seminars, and said that 130 ring officials were in attendance.
The attendance at the convention was estimated at 600.
Reports were presented by World Medical Advisory Board Chairman Dr. Paul Wallace of the U.S., Dr. Clive Noble of South Africa, who has done extensive testing of boxing gloves to find the safest glove construction, Dr. Beatrix Raudszus of Germany, who heads the Medical Boxing Accidents Committee, and Dr. Helen Clausen of Australia, the Director of Neurological Cognitive Research.
Alberto Leon of the U.S., Chairman of the WBC Boxers Foundation Fund, gave a report on the fund's fantastic success so far — it raised $1 million last September in partnership with Hublot Watches to assist fighters in need — and plans for its continued success in the future. Alberto said, "A lifelong dream of our President, Jose Sulaiman, is now a reality." WBC Vice President Rex Walker of the U.S. added, "It's one of the best things the WBC's ever done."
President Sulaiman has always considered amateur boxing the "lifeblood" of professional boxing. Ed Pearson of Canada, Chairman of the new World Boxing Council Amateur Boxing program, reported on its great success in his home country, and advised other Board members how to implement the program in their areas, as well as creating international matches. Ed said, "AIBA tried political and legal ways to stop it, but lost at every step of the way." He gave credit to Dave Allison, who "has done all the work."
A report was given on the WBC program, "Driving Without Texting," to which WBC middleweight world champion Sergio Martinez of Argentina and former world champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico have given support. Texting while driving has overtaken alcohol as the main cause of car accidents.
Asian Boxing Council Secretary Patrick Cusick of Thailand reported on the very active and successful year had by both his organization and the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation, as well as plans for the WBC's continued growth in China, considered the "next Mecca of boxing" in the world. Cusick also said that three cities in China are preparing proposals to host future WBC conventions.
Mauro Gazcon reported that he will begin Monday to reschedule the highly-anticipated WBC World Cup events. The first was scheduled for October 18 in Mexico City and another during this convention in Bangkok, but were postponed after President Sulaiman's surgery on October 1.
Tomas Yu of New Mexico, Chairman of the World MMA Council, introduced himself to the WBC with a proposal for the WBC to become involved in world-wide mixed martial arts title fights. His proposal will be reviewed further at the next WBC convention.
WBC Cares Chairwoman Jill Diamond of the U.S. and a group of world champions and other convention attendees went to visit a children's hospital and orphanage during the afternoon.
A free day tomorrow will be followed by a gala dinner in the evening.
The 51st annual WBC Convention was officially closed by WBC Vice President and host, General Kovid Bhakdibhumi of Thailand.

London – Liverpool will not be able to re-enter the Champions League next season and even a top six finish will be difficult to accomplish, Reds legend Stephane Henchoz said Thursday.
Henchoz – who was at a press conference in Singapore announcing a tournament featuring Premier League greats of yesteryear – described Liverpool's performance this season as "disappointing".
"I think if you look at the league, (two) points out of five games is really disappointing," he told AFP, adding that their fixture schedule thus far featuring teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal had been "difficult".
"I think for me, don't speak about top four finish ... I don't know which order but the top four will remain... (Manchester) United, (Manchester) City, Arsenal, Chelsea," Henchoz – a former Swiss international – said.
"And then you've got teams, maybe Everton, Tottenham, Newcastle, Liverpool... it's another four teams competing for fifth to eighth. So top six is realistic, but I don't think it will be easy."
Liverpool are currently third from bottom with two points out of five games played.
Henchoz, who was part of Liverpool's historic treble-winning team in 2001, said the players were experiencing a "transition season" where they were still getting used to new manager Brendan Rodgers' style of play.
Despite growing criticisms of Rodgers following Liverpool's slow start to the season, Henchoz said the manager – who joined in June this year – was "the man for the job", adding that it was the players who needed to buck up.
"I would say, who is performing at his best at the moment? I don't think many players are performing at their best at the moment. I'm sure they can all improve," Henchoz said, singling out Pepe Reina, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger as examples.
Liverpool's recent acquisitions also came under fire from Henchoz.
"Big mistakes had been made last season with the summer signings. You take Liverpool, spent over £100 million, which is a lot of money, out of the six of seven players they brought in, I think there is only (Luis) Suarez who is doing okay," he lamented.
"The rest, you know for me, they are simply not good enough. (Jordan) Henderson, (Stewart) Downing, they don't have the Liverpool standard and it is as simple as that.
"So I think Brendan Rodgers won't be able to do miracles over a fortnight with the squad he's got."
On the possibility of Asian defenders following in the footsteps of South Korean midfielder Park Ji Sung and Japan's Shinji Kagawa and making their debut in the league in the near future, Henchoz expressed doubt.
"I think Asian people, like I see it, very gifted, very mobile, very quick, but maybe not the strongest physically, not the tallest," he said.
"The English Premier League, especially as a defender, requires people who are quite tall and quite strong so I don't think its the easiest league to adapt for an Asian player," Henchoz added.
"I would think maybe (Asian players) would prefer maybe Italy, Spain where the game is more played on floor, not in the air as much, when the game is a little bit slower and less (of a) challenge, that would be, I would think, easier to adapt." – AFP

" Brand: Silentnight / Product Type: Kingsize Mattress "
I have a king size pine bed which came, as they do with a rather thin king size mattress which I kept for a while. With hindsight I would have bought a normal size double bed, as this size bed in small bedrooms has caused no end of problems but that was a decision that I made that I am now living with as the bed is okay and there is no need to buy a brand new one just yet.
Anyway, after I realised the thin mattress was not good enough I bought a new king size mattress, a cheap but thicker one and that was another bad decision, it went mouldy as my bedroom had damp problems, and the springs came through the mattress, so that was thrown out as well.
After I moved I wanted a decent mattress that would last, and looked into it, the Silentnight Miracoil 7 was affordable and about as good as you need a mattress to be unless you have a back problem.
Silentnight have always had a good name, but were always out of my price range, however I thought that it would be a good idea to get a good nights sleep, as I was not too well at the time, with damp and a bad mattress and noisy neighbours I was happy to pay out and try and get some sleep.
This miracoil 7 is a continuation of the Miracoil range of mattresses which have proven to be very popular and succsseful. It has something called cirrus airflow on th etop layer to keep you cool, as well as targeted cushioning for areas that need extra support like your head and shoulders.
This king size version has an incredible 782 springs, which is a lot for a mattress, it means the mattress stays even when you sit up or move around. I tend to read and write in bed last thing at night, you can have something on the bed only a foot away and push the mattress down and it wont move. With my old mattress things used to slide down toward me and crash into me ( like books , drinks , mobile etc ).
This mattress cost me about £240 I ordered it online and it was delivered wrapped in plastic. When it arrived I was very impressed, it was much thicker than even my other new mattress, and stood up on its own on it's side ! With no support the mattress had so many springs that I could just slide it down the hall, and reverse it back into the bedroom and unwrap the plastic there.
I was very careful cutting the plastic as I have had a bad experience, cutting open the cardboard wrapping on my new solid wood stereo cabinet and carving straight into the polished mahogany surface ! I've never done it since, and am very careful and slow unwrapping.
When it is brand new it is amazing and was easily the best mattress I had slept on. I did mange to ruin it I think as when it is left on its side too long, the springs crush together, and when decorating you have to be careful how you store it. Mine has been lumpy since I moved it around when I was doing flooring/painting etc.
I remember that after talking to someone about this bed and mattress they suggested that as my bed was not a divan, but a wooden base with slats, the mattress would not last as long as it should, and I may as well get a cheaper one. Maybe with a divan the support will prolong the life of the mattress, and I may well look to buy a divan base before this gets spoiled.

KIPTON — Former village Fiscal Officer Rick Krueck overpaid himself for the work he did before resigning his position last year, a review of Kipton's finances by Ohio Auditor Dave Yost's office has found.
In a report released Tuesday, Yost noted that Krueck, who served as fiscal officer from April 1, 2013, until his resignation Oct. 7, 2013, paid himself about $365 more than he was entitled to receive.
The report said that Krueck issued a payment to himself for $1,667.50 on Oct. 8, 2013, to cover his salary from March 1, 2013, through Oct. 30, 2013. The salary for the fiscal officer is $2,500 annually and is to be paid at the end of the year, according to Yost's findings.
Krueck did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday.
The report concluded that Krueck "was able to process the warrant with no other review or oversight prior to issuance with only the fiscal officer's signature being required at the time."
Given the small size of Kipton — 243 in the 2010 census — Yost wrote that there needs to be more oversight for "critical accounting processes," although the report said the village has taken steps to improve review of expenditures.
"The Village has subsequently required two signatures on all warrants issued and management and the Council has taken a more active role in the monitoring process; however the absence of these reviews could be considered a weakness in internal accounting control, resulting in inaccurate cash balances, or even undetected theft," Yost wrote.
Blaine Kelly, a Yost spokesman, said the state didn't issue a finding for recovery against Krueck because the amount of money he was overpaid was below the $500 threshold for such a finding.
"We report it to the entity for them to commence and try to get that money back," Kelly said.
But Kipton Mayor Bob Meilander said the village is unlikely to take legal action against Krueck because it would probably cost more in legal fees than the money Krueck was overpaid. He said a final decision will be made by Village Council during its Sept. 8 meeting.
Meilander said the village is also finalizing details to make sure that contributions are forwarded to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System to cover the time Krueck worked for the village. The unpaid money, including taxes for Krueck, and other deficiencies in payments were among other issues discussed in the report.
The audit also found that there were problems with two electronic fund transfers that had been cleared but weren't properly recorded in the village's books, Kelly said. He also said the village had made three payments for which the checks hadn't been cashed.
He said the village was told to contact the entities the checks were made out to and ask them to cash the checks.
The report also said that Village Council needs to adjust how it appropriates money in order to comply with the law.
The audit comes a month after Meilander called a town meeting to discuss the village's financial woes and announce plans to slash Kipton's budget from $80,000 this year to $70,000 next year.
Meilander said the village is reducing electricity use, freezing salaries for elected officials and doing away with its town solicitor to deal with the budget crunch. He said the village must renew its $14,000 per year operating levy in November or risk dissolving and being absorbed back into Camden Township.
After the July meeting, Meilander placed much of the blame for the village's problems at the feet of Krueck, whom he accused of leaving behind unpaid bills and unopened mail when he resigned.
But in a letter to The Chronicle-Telegram last month, Krueck wrote he inherited the problems from his predecessors.
"The books were in disarray when I became the Fiscal Officer and there were myriad letters not opened and bills going back several years that were waiting to be processed," he wrote. "There were tax issues that had not been reported and the list goes on and on."
Krueck insisted that he had done his best to clean up the village's books, but resigned after disputes with Council. He also wrote that Council committees had failed to provide proper oversight of village finances.

MTV News shares an exclusive first listen to Michael Jackson's "Blue Gangsta." The song, which is available exclusively now at michaeljackson.mtv.com will appear on the upcoming posthumous King of Pop album, Xscape, and features iconic 'MJ pop magic.'
Pre-order Xscape on iTunes Now: http://smarturl.it/xscape?IQid=youtube
XSCAPE is an album of previously unreleased Michael Jackson songs. The album is executive produced by Epic Records Chairman and CEO L.A. Reid, who retooled the production to add a fresh, contemporary sound that retains Jackson's essence and integrity. It's a process Reid calls "contemporizing." The list of producers include global hitmakers Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, and John McClain.
Jackson, who passed away in 2009, was a recording artist, actor, producer, dancer, businessman, and philanthropist.

Despite an exceptionally frigid night, a crowd of about 500 was on hand to celebrate the annual lighting of Anoka's holiday tree.
The event was held in the Riverfront Plaza at Anoka City Hall from 5-7 p.m. Saturday.
Most were grateful for the four bonfires lit on the plaza, where people could huddle and keep warm.
Kids still lined up for a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, where they shared their wish lists and were treated to a candy cane. Santa arrived on a vintage Anoka Fire Department truck and there were also horse-drawn trolley rides through the city streets.
The tree was donated by Tom and Brenda McKnight from their yard on Colfax Avenue in Anoka and will be lit up in front of city hall through the holiday season.
During the tree lighting, Mayor Phil Rice said Tom had always wanted to decorate the tree in his yard, but it was so big he couldn't get it done.
Warm treats including chili, hot dogs and hot cocoa were also for sale by the Anoka Rotary Club.

Metal shavings in bore
Went to clean a new Carbon 15 for the first time before shooting and :
1. The bore is sooo tight. I could barely squeeze a patch down it...and from the muzzle end only. Would not go through chamber/breech.
2. The patches that did go through had metal shavings on them. Everything looks perfect except some "shadows" on the end near the chamber
This is my first gun that has ever had a new chamber as well as first ar.
Any recommendations? Call manufacturer? Shoot away?
On all guns new to me, I drag a bore snack through the barrel, then I visually inspect, then I "choot 'em".
Sounds like what I saw when I was cleaning. My AR for the 1st time. As to the patches? Well try pulling them through instead of pushing them through. I have one of those Otis cleaning kits that come with the flexible cleaning rod. I feed it through the muzzle end attach the patch at the chamber end and pull it through out the muzzle end.
I might also suggest the purchase of a boresnake. I use it for the light work on the barrel. a bore brush, chamber brush and patches go through after running the snake through about 3-5 times. Makes it less likely that I will mar the interior of the barrel trying to get a cleaning rod or anything rigid.
If your LGS has a bore scope I'd have them take a look. I've never had shavings in a barrel. Their presence indicates to me that the manufacturers quality control program is nonexistent.
The barrel could be fine, it could also have a chamber/throat that has only been rough reemed.
I have that problem too.
I'm using the standard cheap aluminium cleaning rod, and it's some of the aluminum flaking off the push cleaning rod. I'm thinking about getting a bore snake myself.
Clarify. What was the color of the shavings?
Shavings are bright shiny metal quite possibly from the cleaning rod.
Or if it is just a rough edge on the bore lining will it wear in with use? Or just mess with accuracy from the beginning

It seems at times as if, by common consent for the other's altering tastes, that East and West are exchanging positions. The West's love of the subtle side and back lighting, in the spirit of Junichiro Tanizaki's lovely extended essay "In Praise of Shadows," and Japan's preference for the glare of the fluorescent strip is one example.
Others are the modern Occident's taste for minimalism in interiors vs. Japan's cluttered rooms; Britain's growing vegetarian population, Japan's carnivores; the West's interest in Japanese gardens, the English garden boom here. There are more Zen practitioners now in California than in Japan, and the last hope for the sake industry we are told, is the foreign market.
Ironically, it is the patronage of foreign visitors that is also helping to preserve older style inns, those long forsaken by a Japanese clientele favoring the modern facilities of the business hotel. This reverse shift in accommodation is commented upon in Isao Sawa's "Welcome to Sawanoya, Welcome to Japan," the story of a budget inn located in a downtown district of Tokyo, one that exemplifies the old school of service: attentive without being intrusive.
Being a long established family business, the Sawanoya, run by Sawa and his wife Yoneko, provides a model for sketches and cameos of Tokyo social history and customs. We learn, for example that, having left a drunken husband, Yoshi, the original founder of the inn (and mother of the present owner), arrived in the Yanaka district of Tokyo in 1940, opening first a boarding house, then a billiard hall and finally the ryokan that became, in the immediate postwar years, Sawanoya.
Sawa gives a spare but vivid portrait of his mother-in-law as harridan and taskmaster. After her daughter flees the entrapment of home, her mother, white with rage, reports the young Sawa to the police for abduction, sending the hapless Yoneko off to a temple.
In a curious reversal of a predicament more common to young brides in Japan, Sawa's fate was to be the sternly treated son-in-law. If the writer thought that diligence would earn the respect of his mother-in-law, he quickly discovered that an adopted son-in-law's first lesson is how to kowtow: "Mother would make Isao kneel formally on the tatami," Yoneko recalls in the book, "and hector him about what she called his shortcomings."
The hardships of inn-keeping in those years are enumerated upon. "If regular customers appeared at the same time and expected to be accommodated," the writer recalls," Yoneko and I would give up our room and sleep either in a closet used for storing futon or with Yoshi in her room."
Drunken guests were common, and empty bottles of alcohol left by departed high-school groups were routinely discovered behind ceiling panels. As Japanese guests dwindled with the popularity of the business hotel, the Sawas were faced with the daunting prospect of taking in foreigners, a step that would mean a learning curve in language, treading softly through minefields of cultural distinctions, a daily adjustment to the needs, preferences and tastes of their new guests.
Doubtless too much is made in Japan of such cultural differences, while the overriding similarities are downplayed, but with short-stay visitors, whatever differences exist are likely more visibly, intensely manifested. Foreign residents in Japan might be puzzled by the lengthy explanations about the hurdles of the Japanese toilet, bathing, eating habits and manners but, as with many works of cross-culturalism, much humor can, and is, extracted from describing the collision of customs.
Interestingly, many of these cultural slipups concern misplaced objects, a fact nicely captured in the complaint of one of Sawanoya's part-time cleaners: "It's room 21," she despairs, apparently not for the first time, "The tea canister is filled with hot water, there are shoes in the tokonoma (alcove), and there are bananas in the shoe cupboard!"
The long-suffering Sawa clearly benefits from a sense of humor and forbearance as he encounters fresh oddities and eccentricities: the guest who uses a recently purchased chabako (wooden box for keeping loose tea) as a suitcase; the Middle Eastern gent who sets himself up as a door-to-door pistachio salesmen; an American who puts his sneakers into the tumble-dryer.
If the Japanese are inordinately fond of knowing how foreigners view them, here is a rare chance to see how the Japanese perceive us.

Now I mostly use Serial.print(F()) to put the strings in EEPROM, but I don't think that reduces the compile size.
Including libraries that are not actually used by the code doesn't seem to affect it.
Defining variable don't seem to affect it, which is surprising.
Code: [Select]Defining variable don't seem to affect it, which is surprising.Not if you understand where variables are stored. Program space is read only, unless the bootloader is uploading a new hex file. Since variables need to be written to, they are not stored in program space. So, they do not affect the amount of program space needed.
Of course it doesn't. It actually increases it, as you've now said that constant strings should live in program (code) space, rather than SRAM.
void setup () { Serial.begin (115200); Serial.println (F("Hello, world."));}void loop () {}

If you have any global variables that could be made local instead this can save a lot of memory.
Eighteen Hints to Reduce Code Size1. Compile with full size optimization.2. Use local variables whenever possible.3. Use the smallest applicable data type. Use unsigned if applicable.4. If a non-local variable is only referenced within one function, it should be declared static.5. Collect non-local data in structures whenever natural. This increases the possibility of indirect addressing without pointer reload.6. Use pointers with offset or declare structures to access memory mapped I/O.7. Use for([font=Verdana];[/font][font=Verdana];[/font]) { } for eternal loops.8. Use do { } while(expression) if applicable.9. Use descending loop counters and pre-decrement if applicable.10. Access I/O memory directly (i.e., do not use pointers).11. Declare main as C_task if not called from anywhere in the program.12. Use macros instead of functions for tasks that generates less than 2-3 lines assembly code.13. Reduce the size of the Interrupt Vector segment (INTVEC) to what is actually needed by the application. Alternatively, concatenate all the CODE segments into one declaration and it will be done automatically.14. Code reuse is intra-modular. Collect several functions in one module (i.e., in one file) to increase code reuse factor.15. In some cases, full speed optimization results in lower code size than full size optimization. Compile on a module by module basis to investigate what gives the best result.16. Optimize C_startup to not initialize unused segments (i.e., IDATA0 or IDATA1 if all variables are tiny or small).17. If possible, avoid calling functions from inside the interrupt routine.18. Use the smallest possible memory model.

Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
My dog's stomach is growling very loudly and continuously but she won't eat even her favorite things.
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer.
* What breed is Peanut?
* When did she last eat?
* Is she still drinking normally?
* Has she had any diet changes such as people food, new dog food, new treats, or gotten into the trash or something outside?
* Is she having any vomiting or diarrhea?
Peanut is a medium dog, mixed breed.
last eaten 24 hrs. ago.
yes. drinks water.
no changes in food, treats, garbage, etc. cause she won't eat.
had milkbones as treat prior to last feeding.
no vomiting or diarrhea.
she does nap and the loud noise doesn't seem to bother her, but it is a growling sound like a human when they are hungry only much louder and is continuous.
Thank you. How much does she weigh?
Usually when there are excessive gastrointestinal noises, there is excess gas rumbling through the gastrointestinal tract.
You can try some over the counter treatment first.
Give 2 1/2 teaspoons of peptobismal every 8 hours.
You can also give 1 tablet of pepcid ac every 12 hours to reduce the amount of acid in the stomach.
She is not going to eat either medication so you will have to pop the pepcid ac into the back of her throat and make her take the pepto bismal.
I would not try to feed her while her stomach is making lots of noise.\
Once it quiets down, you can feed her a bland diet of plain chicken and plain white rice. Start with just a spoonful and gradually increase the amount.
You can also offer her small amounts of low sodium chicken broth.
Her stomach should be settled by tomorrow morning with the pepto bismal and pepcid ac. If it is still loud, she may have a gastrointestinal infection and need oral antibiotics. At that point, you will need to see a veterinarian.
I hope this helps.

Mises Daily Articles
Economists and their Frameworks
Part of the problem with being an economist — besides having to don sunglasses and a fake beard to avoid throngs of adoring fans and marriage proposals when out in public — is that once you think about a particular economic issue in a certain way, it's virtually impossible to shake that mindset. If some other economist is reaching a different conclusion with his preferred mental framework, you stubbornly cling to your own conclusion because "when I think about it this way" you seem to be right.
What's really ironic is that many times, both frameworks are perfectly valid. The reason the two economists come up with opposite conclusions is that at least one of them is using his own framework (or model) in a sloppy way. He's used it so much in the past, and always come up with a certain type of answer, that he doesn't realize it can yield a different answer when one of its dials is turned.
In the present article I'll go over two examples that illustrate this hazard of the occupation. First I'll discuss a colossal blunder made by a big gun in the august pages of the Wall Street Journal. Then I'll write about a much more painful topic, a case where I myself was (temporarily) led astray from an obvious conclusion, because my preferred framework hadn't ever given me that type of outcome in the past.
Case One: Wolf Chooses Tax Hikes Over Currency Movements
Back in the December 15–16 (2007) weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal, Charles Wolf, Jr. wrote an op-ed titled "Our Misplaced Yuan Worries" (page A12). Wolf first lays out the "conventional wisdom," which says that the US trade deficit with China would shrink if only the Chinese let their yuan appreciate against the dollar. This seems pretty straightforward: a relatively stronger yuan would lead the Chinese to buy more US goods (which now seem cheaper to them), while the relatively weaker dollar would lead Americans to buy fewer Chinese exports. In fact, this "conventional wisdom" is how economists teach currency markets and international trade flows to undergrads.
Yet Wolf thinks this is a very superficial analysis. To make sure we get his point, I'll quote him extensively:
This reasoning, though plausible, is wrong. A country's global current account deficit depends on the excess of its gross domestic investment over gross domestic savings. Gross savings in the U.S. are about 10%–12% of GDP [while] gross domestic investment is 16%–17% of GDP. The difference between the two comprises the U.S. current account deficit.
China's current account surplus is the mirror image of the U.S. imbalance. Gross investment in China is above 30% of its GDP, but its savings are even higher, above 40%.
While the appreciation of the yuan might initially raise U.S. exports to China and lower China's exports to the U.S., these effects would be small and transitory as long as the imbalances between savings and investment in the two economies persist.
Rather than revaluing the yuan, Wolf recommends possible strategies such as distributing credit cards in China, reducing US federal spending, and even "establishing a graduated consumption tax" in the United States. These types of policies would be better because "unlike currency realignment, they would actually address the underlying sources of the US and Chinese imbalances."
The problem here is that Wolf is so enamored with thinking of current account deficits in terms of capital account surpluses, that he fails to see the validity in the alternate view of focusing on currency markets. Make no mistake; I too am a fan of Wolf's framework. But the problem is that in this instance, his preferred framework has led him to the wrong conclusion, even though it contains the ability to yield the same answer that his opponents get.
Yes, it is true that if domestic investment exceeds domestic savings, then there must be a net inflow of capital, which is the flip side of a current account deficit. This accounting tautology trumps other things, even the incentives of currency movements. But in our present context, this is a bit like saying, "I don't care if you put that block of ice in the oven. So long as its molecules don't increase their random motion, it won't melt. Please study some physics before talking to me in the future."
What Wolf should think through is this: how are the Chinese currently holding down the yuan, relative to the dollar? It's not that they've passed a law, enforced with guns and prison sentences. No, they've suppressed the yuan's appreciation by massively buying US debt. To put it simplistically, the Chinese government takes some of its revenues (in yuan), and enters foreign currency markets to trade those yuan against US dollars. Then it uses the dollars to buy Treasury bonds from the US federal government. By having a huge agency offering yuan to buy billions of US dollars in the currency markets, the price of the dollar (measured in yuan) is propped up higher than it otherwise would be.
So what would happen if the Chinese government abandoned this practice? The obvious effect would be a fall in the yuan-price of dollars. But another immediate implication would be a reduction in investment in the United States, because buying Treasury securities counts as "investment" in these types of measures. Further, the lowered demand for US debt would lower its price, which is the same thing as saying that interest rates in the United States would rise. This would tend to raise domestic savings. Thus the US imbalance (of domestic investment exceeding domestic savings) would be reduced.
What of the Chinese side? Well, depending on what they did with those yuan (that previously were earmarked to buy US securities), the imbalance could be reduced as well. For example, if the Chinese government spent the yuan on roads or food stamps, then the gap between its savings versus investment would shrink. This is because spending on roads would increase investment, while spending on food stamps would increase consumption, which means reduced savings.
Case Two: Murphy (Briefly) Thinks Dollar Dump Can't Cause Inflation
Just to show that I too am susceptible to this vice, let me explain the circumstances of how I was led astray. Many economists believe that the US dollar is poised to fall even further against other currencies. Some of the more alarmist in this camp warn their readers that if foreigners tire of holding these deteriorating dollar-denominated assets, they might decide the emperor has no clothes and stop treating the dollar as the modern era's gold. If that were to happen, the warning goes, then US consumers would suffer massive spikes in the prices they pay at Wal-Mart (since imports from China would now be so expensive), and they would also suffer from huge spikes in interest rates (because of the expected inflation).
Although it sounds plausible, at first I had difficulty accepting the validity of the argument. Let me try to explain the source of the cognitive dissonance. As a free market economist, I was used to arguing that unions and OPEC couldn't cause price inflation. Sure, Arab countries might jack up the price of oil, but then that would just leave less money for Americans to spend on other things. The only group of people, I loved to point out, that could raise dollar-prices in the long run were those running the Fed, since they controlled the supply of dollars.
So by the same token, wasn't it inconsistent to now claim that foreigners could cause massive price inflation in the United States? After all, if people had to pay more for Chinese imports, wouldn't that just leave less money to spend on haircuts from American stylists? Why would we expect prices in general to go up?
There are (at least) two ways to reconcile these contradictory intuitions. In other words, I still believe that the defense of OPEC and unions is right — i.e., they can't unilaterally cause inflation — while I also believe that people warning against a dollar crash are right, i.e., that a sharp fall on the foreign exchanges could lead to massive inflation at home. Let me explain the two issues in turn.
First, it's not quite right to say that only printing up more dollar bills can lead to higher price tags. There is always the subjective, demand side of the market. For a silly example, if Americans suddenly became convinced that powerful aliens would conquer the United States three months in the future, and that the aliens would kill anyone holding dollars, then the prices of items right now would shoot through the roof. People would try to shift their wealth out of dollars (and dollar-denominated assets) and into other liquid items, such as gold, diamonds, etc. This massive drop in the purchasing power of the dollar would not be the fault of the Fed (though we might blame the Pentagon for focusing on Iraq rather than those merciless Martians).
Second, and more relevant to our discussion, is the fact that the foreigners in question are demanding dollars in order to buy US assets, not US products. So even if we neglect the fact that a worldwide drop in the demand for dollars leads to higher prices (measured in dollars), we still see how US consumers could get fleeced. Above I asked, "Just because the price of Chinese imports goes up, why wouldn't the price of other things go down?" Fair enough, but what if the compensating prices that are dropping are things like the price of a share of IBM, or the price of a federal Treasury bond? These movements would be totally consistent with doomsday predictions of massive spikes in the CPI, and high interest rates.
The areas of international trade, monetary theory, and finance are complicated enough when studied in isolation. But when you have to mix them all together, as the current economic crisis requires, it's very easy to make a mistake in reasoning. One common source of error, as I've demonstrated above, is the use of tools that work very well in one setting, mistakenly deployed in a different setting. As with everything else in life, competition among conceptual frameworks is very healthy, since it can quickly highlight when an economist is likely abusing his favorite technique.

CHARLEVOIX, MI (RNN) – When a little boy was separated from other runners in his group during the Jeff Drenth Memorial 5K, he asked a Marine, who was also running the race, for help.
"Sir? Will you please run with me?" 9-year-old Boden Fuchs asked Lance Cpl. Myles Kerr.
According to a post on the Seal of Honor Facebook page, Kerr not only ran along with Boden, he also encouraged the boy to finish the run when Boden wanted to give up.
Kerr accompanied Boden to the finish line where the boy was reunited with his group.
An onlooker at the race snapped a photo of the two running together that has been making its way around Facebook and Kerr is surprised by the attention.
"The picture really took off," Kerr recently tweeted. "I was on the radio! And I have a meeting with the newspaper."
