WANT TO GO?Hinton Rail Road DaysWHEN: Oct. 20-21 and 27-28WHERE: HintonINFO: The event is free. To find out how to take the New River Train to Hinton, which arrives each afternoon of the festival, visit newrivertrain.com or call the Hinton VisItors Center at 304-466-5420.BOOK SIGNING: Perry Mann will sign copies of his book "Mann and Nature" at Otter and Oak in Hinton from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 and on Oct. 27.About 1870, the C&O had built its railroad to Talcott, W.Va. It had followed the Greenbrier River from Ronceverte.But at Talcott the river ran into Big Bend Mountain and had to make a sharp left turn and follow at the base of the mountain for 15 miles just to get to the other side, which was only a mile or so as the crow flies from the Talcott side. Thus, rather than build 15 miles of railroad along the river around the mountain, the C&O dug the Big Bend Tunnel, which was just a mile and a quarter in length. Helping to cut through the mountain was a steel-driving man named John Henry, who became a legend that is well-known.In 1893, my grandfather had about 90 acres surveyed on top of Big Bend which he bought from the Rollyson family. He built his house there and raised with my grandmother five children to adulthood. My father was one of them. My mother's father had a few hundred acres of bottomland bordering the river where the railroad would have gone had no tunnel been constructed. My father courted my mother and they married and honeymooned in Washington D.C., having traveled there by the C&O Railway.My father's prospects in Summers County were not promising. World War I had just ended. There was work in Charleston, so he took his bride and boarded the train at Hinton and left Summers County and never returned except for visits via the C&O and later by auto. He acquired a house on Russell Street and the couple set up housekeeping. Children came. I was first, born March 12, 1921. At the birth with my mother were her mother and my father's sister. They had come to Charleston on the C&O and returned home on the train. When my sister came two years later, my aunt came to help my mother through the birth and she took me with her to the farm by train. I was the first male grandchild and I was treated as a prince by my grandparents and spinster aunt. Even at that early age I began to love the place. I had a dog and cat. I fed chickens with my grandmother. My grandfather would come in from the fields with something in his pocket and ask me to reach in to see what it was. Once I remember well it was a rabbit so tiny it would fit in a teacup. I watched my aunt milk cows. I watched my grandfather slop the hogs. I saw meadows and woodlands and creeks and sky and clouds. And at night, I saw the heavens in all their glory, unadulterated with the light of any other thing but maybe lightening bugs.Once my grandmother took me to the chicken house to a setting hen's nest. She lifted the hen in spite of her protests and revealed a nest full of fuzzy chicks. The consequence of this love was that I was on that farm with them every chance I had throughout my early life. And the way I got there was, you guessed it, the C&O Railway.During the Depression, I spent many months and years with my grandparents. I used to beg my parents for the $1.93 which was the fare from Charleston to Hinton on what else but the C&O Railway. I never had more than the fare. When the porter came through hawking coffee and ham sandwiches, I had belly rumbles over the thought of a ham sandwich. But the sandwich, which was two thick slices of bread between which was a sumptuous slice of ham, was 25 cents. I had not a nickel on me. I was happy when he went to the next car, and the yearn for that sandwich subsided somewhat.I spent at the farm every Thanksgiving, every Christmas and every Easter Holiday that I could get the $1.93. Also, matters got so bad at home that I went to live with my grandparents year around.It was an education one could not receive any other way or place. I learned the basics and realities of life. I helped to prepare soil for seeds, to cultivate them, to harvest them and to watch the process of tabling them. I watched my grandmother choose a chicken for the pot and see that it got there. I have been there and helped in November to kill the hogs, butcher them, carve out the hams and shoulder, grind the pieces to sausage and watch my grandmother in inclement weather squatting to clean intestines for soap making. I have helped to shear sheep for their wool and to clip the tales of lambs and castrate calves and pigs. That is, I have worked at the bottom of the economic mountain. At the top are those players who gamble with the wealth that the bottom has produced, just as the Saturday-night kind of player who rolls dice for pennies.In December of 1941, I boarded a New York Central car to be transported to Columbus, Ohio, where I was inducted into the Army Air Corp. From there by train I was transported to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. Months later I hitchhiked from St. Louis to Charleston. Then back to the C&O for a ride to Detroit and some basic training, after which I boarded a C&O train to be carried to Newport News, Va., to become one of hundreds on a troopship. The train passed through Charleston on the way and stopped there in the middle of the night. I had my last sight of my hometown for a while. In December 1945, I boarded at C&O train at Union Station in Washington, D.C. for a transport to Charleston and home.Incidentally, while going through my grandfather's papers years after the war, I discovered a document showing that he had sold to the C&O Railway 18 chestnut oak railroad ties he had hewn with a broadax. The farm he got from the Rollyson folk was rocky, but also tree wealthy.Today, the C&O tracks are a football field's distance from my front door. I hear the trains often and see the coal trains going east full and going west empty. And I hear Amtrack blow its horn from time to time. The Fast Flying Virginia and the George Washington, C&O's super passenger trains, are memories come alive on Railroad Days.Mann, a former prosecutor and teacher, a World War II veteran, is a lawyer, gardener and writer in Hinton.

Basement Dwelling Dogs Fall Again; FPU & FCC Win
FRESNO, Calif. --- A big run at the beginning of the second half was not enough to overcome an 18-point halftime deficit for the Fresno State men's basketball team in its 74-63 loss to Colorado State Saturday night at the Save Mart Center.
It was the Rams' first win in Fresno after dropping the previous eight.
Trailing 38-20 at the half, the Bulldogs went on a 19-6 run to open the second half and cut the Colorado State lead to five. The Rams would extend their lead back to nine before another run cut the lead to five, but that was as close as Fresno State could get.
Tyler Johnson led all scorers with 23 points on 7 of 16 shooting. The junior has now scored in double figures in every Mountain West Conference game except for the San Diego State game that he left early with an injury.
Allen Huddleston and Marvelle Harris each added 15 to give the Bulldogs three players in double figures. It was Huddleston's second straight big game coming off the bench after he scored 20 last Wednesday against Boise State.
Free throws again were a back breaker for the third straight game for Fresno State. After seeing Nevada make 30 of 37 and Boise State make all 26 attempts, Colorado State shot 29 of 34 from the line. The Bulldogs (7-12, 1-5) shot their free throws at an 85% clip, but were just 17 of 20.
Colorado State (16-4, 3-2) also hurt the `Dogs on the glass, outrebounding Fresno State 40-21. The Rams grabbed 12 of those 40 rebounds on the offensive end. They entered the contest as the best offensive rebounding team in the Mountain West Conference. Colton Iverson, a 6'10" senior, led Colorado State with 13 rebounds.
The `Dogs continue Mountain West Conference play on Wednesday in Colorado Springs when they take on the Air Force Academy at 6 p.m. The game can be heard live on KMJ 580 AM.

Fresno, Calif. - Fresno Pacific (12-6, 7-3 PWC) jumped out to an early lead before withstanding a furious second-half comeback by Hawaii Pacific (6-10, 3-6 PWC) to hang on for a 94-87 win in overtime. The Sunbirds led 40-19 at one point in the first half. FPU was still up by 11 points with 6:50 left in regulation before the Sea Warriors closed the gap to force overtime.
Two three-pointers by HPU's Jelaney White would give the Sea Warriors the lead in the final minute of regulation, but a Malcolm Griffin floater with 12 seconds left tied it up. The Sunbirds would control the overtime as John Taylor scored the first five FPU points to finish on a high-note after a lackluster shooting night.
Taylor and Griffin finished with 20 points apiece. Antonio Credit added 15 points and 12 rebounds. Matt Samuels added 16 points.
Marko Cukic led the Sea Warriors with 19 points. Malte Ziegenhagen added 18 off the bench.
The Sunbirds improved to 10-0 at home on the season.

Fresno City remained unbeaten in CVC{}action, beating West Hills, 80-59. Alex Perez led the Rams with 13 points. FCC connected on 14 3-pointers in the game. Ed Madec improved to (75-4), career, in the CVC.

Margot Robbie Told To Keep It Vicious For Harley Quinn In 'Suicide Squad'
One of the chief selling points for the upcoming Suicide Squad is Harley Quinn, the scantily clad, wisecracking, and ruthless villain played by Margot Robbie. A much loved character from DC Comics, Harley first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, and to say her big screen debut is eagerly anticipated would be an understatement.
Naturally then, expectations are sky-high for Suicide Squad to deliver a Harley Quinn that is both true to her source material and offers a fresh take on the character. With over 30 years of content to play with, , veering wildly between comic effect, madness, and psychotic violence.
Striking a balance between these aspects of Harley's character is certainly a challenge, but they are all essential to her characterisation. Whether Robbie's version of the character is true to form entirely rests on the tone of Suicide Squad, which so far seems to be the perfect blend of irreverent anti-hero comedy and psychological action thriller. And yet, there's only so much we can tell from the trailers, and we may have misjudged how funny Harley Quinn is going to be.
Robbie Told To Play Down Comedy
In Entertainment Weekly's new print issue, the magazine featured small quotes from each of the Suicide Squad actresses, and Robbie talked about how she and Ayer crafted her character.
"Whenever I would be inclined to play into the comedy or play her more likable, he'd always direct me the other way. He wanted her to be pretty vicious."
Harley Quinn definitely isn't one to don kid gloves, and some versions of the character have taken psychotic violence to new heights — we can see this especially in the game Arkham Asylum and her debut in the Suicide Squad comic. But as dark as her humor gets (and it gets pretty twisted), , and this is something her creator Bruce Timm pointed out to io9 when asked about the upcoming film.
"I think bottom line the most important thing about her is that she's funny. One way or the other regardless of what her backstory is, or whether she's in an abusive relationship with the Joker, or if she's off on her own, or hanging out with Poison Ivy, or whether she's a villain or a hero. Her stories always have to be fun."
Of course, there's a difference between Harley being funny and her being "likeable" — sometimes the most vicious villains are those that laugh when committing atrocities.
So perhaps it's not a question of Harley being funny, but whether she's a sympathetic character. Although that just throws another iron in the fire.
Harley's Journey To Anti-Heroism
Harley is fascinating because despite being a villain we really root for her as a person. The key to her success back in Batman: The Animated Series was her humor, and the fact that the audience sympathized with her while enjoying her villainy. Some of the most poignant moments of the show came when Harley leaned into both her humor and the difficulty of her relationship with the Joker.
There's a lot of complex things going on with Harley, and previous incarnations have struggled to maintain the right balance. When the comic Suicide Squad leaned too heavily on Harley's frightening brand of violence (not to mention her obsession with the Joker), the series was due to falling sales.
Later comics learned from this, and Harley's New 52 solo comic proved to be a huge success, striking the perfect balance between Harley's gleeful love of violence, her sense of humor, and the sympathetic element to her story. Harley has experienced something of a redemption — not quite a hero, Harley has nonetheless moved on from vicious villainy and even teamed up with Power Girl in another comic.
Then of course there's her ongoing romantic relationship with Poison Ivy, .
Ultimately, Harley Quinn is a complex character, and balance is the key to the perfect interpretation. Everything we've seen from her in Suicide Squad so far seems to be fantasic, and here's hoping she rises to all our expectations. After all, !

Prohibition ended 80 years ago Thursday
(WJLA) - The United States' run as a dry nation officially ended 80 years ago Thursday.
On Dec. 5, 1933, Utah became the final state to sign off the on the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, ending prohibition in America.
The prohibition of alcohol was passed in 1920 and stayed in effect for upwards of 13 years. It included an explicit ban on the production, distribution and sale of booze nationwide.
In early 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt eased prohibition laws in the face of mounting criticism and an increasing wave of bootlegging. By that December, the law was off the books for good.

MENANDS -- The Civil War Heritage Days provide reenactors and historians with a chance to not only educate attendees about the history of the times but also demonstrate how much the Capital District contributed to the Union forces' efforts.
The event is held at the Schuyler Flatts Park, which is designated as a National Historic Landmark because it was an important site for both Native and Colonial Americans, according to the Town of Colonie's website. It gives reenactors plenty of room to set up their work stations, tents and firing range for their canon firing demonstrations.
Several informational booths are set up around the park with various artifacts and bits of information from the Civil War available to those in attendance. People can even chat with the reenactors and hear stories from the times that were researched by the reenactors. They do try and switch it up from year to year so the event won't grow stale.
"Next year I might even bring different firearms and different stories to tell," said Dwight McGee, who was playing the role of the Confederate Cavalry blacksmith, although he does own a black smith shop in Averill Park.
It's all in the spirit of education, according to event coordinator Mark Bodnar, as they commemorated the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. He played up the significant role the state of New York played in the Civil War, as he said it had the men, the money and the materials to contribute to the "war machine."
"It had the largest population and it was the center of manufacturing and business," Bodnar said. "With Albany being the capital, we had a lot of that business up here."
Troy Historian Michael Barrett was also on hand where he was showing off pieces of the skirt and deck plates of the U.S.S. Monitor, which Barrett said every bit of iron came from either Troy or Schenectady. Well, except for the gun turret, which Barrett said they were able to get in Baltimore.
The two biggest manufacturers were the John Griswold Iron Works and Albany Iron works in South Troy.
"Between the two of them, they made not only the Monitor but the class of war ships," Barrett said.
One of the bigger names to come out of the area was Henry Burden, who invented the horseshoe machine, which was responsible for creating 90 percent of the horseshoes found on the horses rode by the Union forces.
"Henry Burden was churning out 51 million horseshoes a year by 1862," Barrett said. "He had invented the process of automatically making horseshoes."
The Confederate army was not so lucky, according to McGee.
"The Confederates didn't have many resources like the North for manufacturing horseshoes," McGee said.
Col. Mark Migaleddi, the event's keynote speaker and commander of the Watervliet Arsenal, said he loves the passion many of the educators put into their work and reenactments. He was there to describe the significance of the arsenal during the Civil War but said he was honored just to be a part of it.
"I enjoy the passion people have when carrying on the memories and history of the Civil War," Migaleddi said.

My first quilt I ever made was a log cabin wall hanging.
However, I am considering this my first real quilt. It is made up of five different block styles - Star Variation Block, Aunt Dinah's Block, Pinwheel Block, Martha Washington Star Block, and Drunkard's Path Block. Since I chose material that all had seashell themes, I hand quilted different seashells in the large yellow blocks. I completed it with machine quilting around the outer border and added a label on the back. I've been told that quilters (like true artists) always sign their works of art!
This is a lovely quilt. Can't you just see it on a porch draped across some vintage white wicker. I can see myself in that scene. Thanks for the mini mind escape. Great job of choosing quilting designs.
Love the colors, looks so cozy, great job all around!
Very pretty and the perfect summer colors!
Very pretty. Love the colors.
Pretty quilt

Hail, thunderstorms and damaging winds have lashed parts of the state overnight, with winds and showers set to continue on Saturday.
While a severe weather warning for Perth and parts of the South West has been cancelled, a warning is still in place for other parts of the states with damaging winds to continue during the day.
Were you affected by the storms and want to share your photos or information on the weather with us? Email the newsdesk directly or hit us up on Twitter @watoday
Showers and windy weather have continued during the morning in Perth, with conditions easing and showers expected to become less widespread in the afternoon.
Winds west to southwesterly from 25 to 40 km/h tending south to southwesterly are forecast, becoming lighter later on in the day, although Perth may experience isolated thunderstorms in the evening.
Earlier on Saturday morning damaging winds were recorded in the Perth area, with a wind gust of 102km/h at Ocean Reef at 7:30am and a gust of 91km/h recorded at Rottnest Island at 12:21am.
State emergency services recieved 31 calls on Friday and overnight and had recived a further 14 calls by midday on Saturday, a spokesman said.
Severe weather warning
A severe weather warning is in place for people in the Goldfields, Great Southern and Central Wheat Belt forecast districts.
At 10am a low pressure system was moving across the south of the state, with a band of strong westerly winds moving through areas to the north of the low.
The weather system is likely to cause widespread damaging winds to 100 kilometres per hour that could result in damage to homes and property.
Damaging winds are possible through the Central Wheat Belt, northern Great Southern and western Goldfields on Saturday morning and afternoon, before becoming confined to the southeast by Goldfields this evening.
The severe weather warning for the lower west forecast district (including the Perth Metropolitan Area) and parts of the South West forecast district has been cancelled.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology this is "typical weather for this time of the year" but "winds may cause damage to property and make road conditions hazardous".
On Twitter, the hashtag #perthstorm was trending as people shared weather updates, pictures and jokes.

Flashlight-tag debates over who was illuminated first have ended countless friendships and small-business partnerships. Upgrade the next game of tag with irrefutable evidence at RobinHood Paintball in Havre de Grace. For $12, you get an all-day session (Saturday or Sunday only), complete with equipment rental, unlimited air, and 500 paintballs (a $37 value with tax included). This 10-acre, eight-field facility is open exclusively on the weekends until 5 p.m., and all players must sign a waiver (those less than 18 years old are required to have parent signature or access to treasure sufficient for bribing the authorities).
RobinHood's fields run the gamut from rustic wooded battlefields to futuristic hyperball arenas with scientifically arranged artificial bunkers. Duck and dodge between inflatable obstacles on the air-ball field, or storm the castle in a historically accurate re-creation of the Siege of Malta. Following a safety orientation, players gear up with a proper paintball marker equipped with unlimited air. Ammo is provided, with an initial 500 paintballs that will allow you to generously coat a nearby opponent or accurately autograph the nearest wall. For the trigger-happy pigment warrior, additional paintballs can be purchased on-site in various packages.
Paintball is the perfect way to relieve stress, ritually humiliate frenemies, and artfully redecorate local trees. Crawl on your belly over rocks and dash between bunkers with the whiz of small, paint-filled capsules humming past your ears. Then open fire, tucking, rolling, and shouting in slow motion, your enemies, best friends, or coworkers decimated in a splatter of color. No matter what strategy leads to victory, Jackson Pollock's relentless lawyers will sue the losing team for infringement. Games start throughout the day from open to close, and groups of more than 10 people will require a reservation in advance.

Categories Of Managerial Competences Specific To The Innovative Educational Process
his paper succeeds in investigating, through a questionnaire-based research conducted on a population of managers-teachers, the opinion of the skills / competences which are the main managerial and decision-making support. Ordered hierarchically as early as their intial scaling in the phase of drafting the questionnaire and piloting the project, the three categories of competences / skills: Technical skills – 5 points, Interpersonal skills – 3 points, Skills of self-improvement – 2 points provide an interesting correlation between them and aggregately, and also with the scores of other 24 detailed comptences in the joint research of the two specific questionnaires designed to support the investigation proper. The article details some of the gaps or the differences between the teachers-managers's and the teachers' subpopulation. Another interesting problem solved here is provided by modelling the managerial aggregate score by means of the factors identified in the body of a matrix of correlation.

Series of fires at Dyess being investigated
DYESS, Ark. (AP) - Federal and state agents are investigating a series of house fires that have been popping up for more than two months.
Mississippi County officials said Monday that agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the state fire marshal's office are working to learn more about the blazes.
The Jonesboro Sun reports (http://is.gd/3Jkgmm ) that the most recent fie was last week, and another home burned on April 22. There were other fires in February and March.
Officials say each house was vacant and only one had electricity.
Witnesses told investigators a red Ford Mustang was seen at 1 of the homes just before it burned.

Center's Studies Aid Care for Frail Elderly
Rose Sino sits in her wheelchair as lunch is placed before her. Her son offers her a forkful of cheese blintz, which Sino quickly chews before accepting another bite.
While this scene might appear routine, its significance is not lost on her son, David Swartz, or her caregivers at the Jewish Home for the Aging of Greater Los Angeles (JHA). Sino, 88, is a resident of JHA's Goldenberg-Ziman Special Care Center, a facility that serves elderly residents with dementia. Five years ago, Sino lost all interest in eating and required a feeding tube to get sufficient nutrition.
For Sino and many other frail, elderly nursing home residents, lack of appetite is a common problem, one which can lead to a rapid decline in health, said Dr. John Schnelle, director of the Anna and Harry Borun Center for Gerontological Research.
Weight-loss prevention is one of the principal areas of investigation at the Borun Center, a joint venture between JHA and UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. Housed on the JHA campus in Reseda, the center was established in 1989 to identify and test nonmedical measures that could improve daily care and quality of life for nursing home residents. Given that the number of people 85 years or older is expected to almost double in 25 years, the center's research is of growing interest to the government, private industry and the public.
While the Borun Center utilizes JHA to test and pilot numerous interventions, it also conducts research at facilities throughout the country. In addition to preventing weight loss, current projects focus on preventing mobility decline, detecting pain, preventing pressure ulcers and managing incontinence.
The center has used research findings to develop protocols, available on its Web site, for use by nursing homes. The strategies focus on everyday routines, rather than on medical interventions.
"Once a person is frail enough to enter a long-term care facility, they're usually taking five to six medications," Schnelle said. "They are less inclined to do surgical or pharmacological interventions. What they want is for their pain to be managed and their incontinence taken care of and for staff to treat them in a reasonable way."
The Borun Center is currently working with the federal government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to improve methods of evaluating nursing home care. Current methods don't always provide the most reliable information, according to Schnelle. Not only are the elderly less likely to complain, he said, but the phrasing of questions can influence their responses.
"Asking, 'Are you satisfied with how often you are taken to the bathroom?' will typically generate a yes response, even if that is not the case," he explained. "Asking, 'How many times would you like to be helped to go to the bathroom?' and 'How many times are you taken to the bathroom?' is more likely to reveal the discrepancy between what residents want and what they get," he noted.
Schnelle said that most nursing homes are understaffed and that in the typical facility, residents are taken to the bathroom only once a day. (He also said that, in all measures the center looks at, JHA exceeded all other facilities studied.)
The Borun Center's nutrition and weight-loss study at JHA identifies strategies to prevent the decrease in eating and fluid intake common to nursing home residents. Schnelle cited depression and appetite change as two principal causes.
"Food doesn't taste as good, and they simply don't care as much about it as they once did…. But you can reverse the decline if meal time becomes social."
Sino's improved eating came about not because of a change in her food, but in how it was presented and served. Using Borun Center study results, JHA's Special Care Center systematically incorporated eight measures — including greeting residents by name and providing verbal encouragement — which had been shown to boost caloric intake among certain residents by about 300 calories a day.
"At some facilities, a food tray is placed in front of the resident, and that's it," said Susan Leitch, community manager for the Goldenberg-Ziman Building.
In her facility, servers take plates off the serving tray and place them, restaurant style, before the residents. Containers are opened and meat is cut for those who require assistance. Residents are greeted by name and offered substitutions for foods they dislike.
Nursing aides and other staff sit with residents or stop by their tables with encouragement. "Try this. This is good," one says. "I know you like chocolate," says another as she presents a bowl of ice cream to a resident.
In addition, snacks are incorporated into activities as a way to boost caloric intake, and family members are encouraged to bring treats that they know their relative enjoys. Sino, for example, ate the pieces of chocolate her son offered her, even when she was still using the feeding tube. He credits the chocolate with renewing her interest in eating.
Not surprisingly, the interventions identified by the Borun Center require greater staff time. That means higher costs.
Molly Forrest, JHA's CEO, acknowledged that those costs present a challenge. Approximately 80 percent of JHA residents are on Medi-Cal, and the reimbursement received does not cover the expenses incurred.
"Quality is a costly item," Forrest said. "The needs are so great, and those needs can only be met by the hands of a caregiver."
Schnelle suspects these interventions also prevent hospitalization and prolong life. But even if they did not improve clinical outcomes, he believes improving quality of life for the frail elderly is justified from a moral point of view.
"I think we have to be very clear about the staffing requirements needed to provide good care and let people make choices," he said.
For David Swartz, the choice is clear. Sitting with his mother at lunchtime, he beams. By the time she's done, only one tiny bite of blintz remains on her plate.

North Carolina punished over benefits, academic fraud
The NCAA infractions committee has hit North Carolina's football program with a one-year postseason ban, a reduction of 15 scholarships and three years of probation following an investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct.
In a ruling Monday, the committee said the school was responsible for multiple violations, including academic fraud and a failure to monitor its football program. It also issued a three-year show-cause penalty for former assistant coach John Blake, who had received personal loans from an NFL agent.

Aviation Partners filed a response yesterday to Airbus's pre-emptive lawsuit that seeks to invalidate an Aviation Partners patent for blended winglets. This patent–filed on Feb. 1, 1993, and granted Sept. 20, 1994–is for technology that is the foundation of the Seattle-based company. Since patents perish after 20 years, this one will expire in about 12 months.
In its response, Aviation Partners has requested that the Airbus lawsuit be either dismissed or transferred to Seattle. "Airbus's complaint pleads legal conclusions without factual support," Aviation Partners alleges in its filing. "[The] complaint omits significant facts, including…the longstanding relationship between [Aviation Partners] and Airbus."
According to Aviation Partners, it began discussions with Airbus in 2006 regarding the use of its blended winglets on Airbus A320s. A series of negotiations resulted in the parties entering into a memorandum of understanding in July to form a joint venture to use Aviation Partners' blended winglets on Airbus A320s, the company noted.
Late last summer, Airbus "provided [Aviation Partners] with data and information (including engineering specifications and drawings) for Airbus's 'Sharklet design,'" Joe Clark said in a sworn statement. "[Aviation Partners] engineers analyzed the Airbus materials and noticed the striking similarity between API's Blended Winglet…and the Airbus 'Sharklet' design."
"Without notifying Aviation Partners, [Airbus] sought a patent in Europe for its own 'Sharklet wingtip,'" Clark added. Airbus filed its lawsuit in early December.

Well-known for manufacturing superb interior design products, Italian company Cerruti Baleri continues that legacy with a special project alongside Maison Martin Margiela. Together, both develop a set of furniture pieces, including the "Groupe", a surrealist sofa that incorporates three armchairs, and "Emmanuelle", an armchair wrapped in white cotton canvas. The Maison Martin Margiela and Cerruti Baleri collaboration is on display at the Cerruti Baleri showroom in Milan through April 19th, 2010. Dazed Digital offers further insight into the project, presenting an interview with Federico Carandini, Art Director for Cerruti Baleri.
What sparked the collaboration between Cerruti baleri and Maison Martin Margiela?
The Maison has a team that works on the Margiela showrooms, shops and display spaces. The team was pursuing in depth the possibilities offered by interior design, focusing on creating a piece of furniture. They came to see our collections and they liked our products and modus operandi. So basically everything started from there. What I found fascinating about this Maison is that it has a strong affinity with the world of interior design: Maison Martin Margiela was always about a team, its creations and products and not just about one "celebrity" designer. The same thing happens for what regards the design industry where there is usually an entire team working behind a product. The Maison is mainly based on three main aspects; recuperation, transformation and reinterpretation. These three keywords make it unique compared to other fashion houses and I must admit that for us it was a challenge to turn their ideas into saleable products with a proper market, but it was an absolutely intriguing challenge.
In your opinion which was the most exciting aspect of this collaboration?
Cerruti baleri previously worked with different designers such as Jeff Miller, Arik Levy, Alberto Colzani and Xavier Lust and the 'Edizioni' line will also include the projects 'The Other' by Ilse Crawford and 'Galanterie' by Maurizio Galante. All these designers are single entities, if I may call them so, while Maison Martin Margiela is embodied by an entire team of people, so we had to take care of this aspect and of its image, identity and philosophy. The most extraordinary thing about this collaboration was finding a sort of affinity in the way we work, in the environments we develop our projects and even in our moods. There was a special chemistry behind this collaboration that allowed us to work very well together.
Compared to last year, in which ways has the presentation of the Maison's products changed?
Maison Martin Margiela didn't present specific products at the previous furniture fair in Milan, but they recreated in the district of Tortona the atmosphere of the Maison's Interior Design workshop in Paris, integrating in it pieces they were studying and developing for the showroom spaces. This year the main aim was creating a space where they could present not only the Maison's image, but also proper products. Visitors will be able to admire the products in a space of our showroom entirely curated by the Maison's team. The Maison's previously worked with white environments and products, but things have slightly changed thanks to a few innovations introduced in the chromatic scale that allowed us to highlight the lines and silhouettes of the two products presented. We are also showcasing more than one armchair and sofa to remind our visitors that these products are for sale and they are not prototypes.
The interview in its entirety can be found here.

Will I Get a Flat Stomach from a Tummy Tuck Now or Do I Need to Wait and Lose Some More Weight?
A tummy tuck will make a tremendous improvement in physique, but losing additional weight will probably improve the result. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Flat stomach with a tummy tuck?
You will obtain an excellent improvement by a tummy tuck. It will address the loose skin, muscle laxity, and fatty tissue between your skin and muscle.
The determining factor in how flat your abdomen will be is the amount of fatty tissue you have intra-abdominally, under the muscle. This can only be determined by an in office exam.
I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Will my Health Insurance Cover for a Tummy Tuck and for my Ventral Hernia?
For a nice result and low risk you should strive toward a BMI of 25 or lower, which would take you down to 140 pounds.
Although excess skin and fat comes out and the muscles are tightened, in a patient with a large intra-abdominal value a flat abdomen will not be the outcome.
An actual exam will be a much better guide to advice than photos.
All the best.

Realistic expectations
I commend you for your weight loss and encourage you to continue doing so until you reach your plateau weight that you can easily MAINTAIN without severe changes to your lifestyle. A simple test to see if you can have a flat tummy is to lay flat and see what your tummy looks like. If it goes flat, there is a reasonable chance you can achieve that. If it remains rounded, its unlikely you will have a 'flat' tummy. You will always have an improved tummy but if you will not be happy without perfect, you will need to find a surgeon who will guarantee your results.
Lose weight before tummy tuck?
Ideally losing weight before surgery always helps, but is not crucial in your case. However, the final flatness of your abdomen is often times determined by how much deep fat you have around your internal organs. Men typically carry their fat deep to the abdominal muscles and women tend to have it more superficially. The superficial fat can be addressed with liposuction along with your TT. That's why women usually get a better result from TT then men.
Flat tummy
Lose weight before a tummy tuck
Thank you for your question. It is best to be with in a few pounds of your optimal weight before your tummy tuck. It sounds like you have made the right dietary changes to lose weight. Keep up the good work. Once you lose the weight you will be a good candidate for a tummy tuck.
Will I Get a Flat Stomach from a Tummy Tuck Now or Do I Need to Wait and Lose Some More Weight?
Best to obtain IN PERSON evaluations. But over the internet guess is a full Tummy Tick with uncle repair.
Lose weight before a Tummy Tuck?
Congratulations on your weight loss and getting into a good diet plan. I ask my patients to get to a weight that they can maintain. Losing weight in crash diet just to gain it back after the surgery is disappointing. Also, to lose so much weight that other parts of your body look unpleasant does not make sense either. If your main problem is your stomach, a Tummy tuck should give you a flatter stomach. You can lose more weight after the procedure too.

If you've ever played a Bomberman game, you'd know that it can get pretty hectic. Little Bombermans running all around and dropping bombs like crazy can be dangerous, and that makes it all the more fun to get your bombs powered up. Whether you use great skill or stumble upon the power-ups randomly, the result is the same. Once you charge up your bombs for maximum fire, the range is insane, and anybody who isn't very careful will gets smoked, including yourself. Be careful out there!
In the Banjo-Kazooie series, a crucial (and fun) part of the gameplay has always been morphing into all kinds of transformations, be it a walrus, a snowball, a washing machine, or any of the other crazy things Rare dreamed up. Rare's sense of humor often comes into play during these sequences, including the one I'm about to talk about, which is the Detonator. This seemingly-useless transformation changes you into a TNT-like detonator, allowing you to do two things: hop around and blow yourself up. Yes, your only attack in this form is to explode, taking a small chunk off your health bar. This is strangely entertaining, and can be useful if you find the right objects to blow up. It's also pretty funny.
Missiles act as the anti-air unit in Battalion Wars, and they do their job well. When an enemy Gunship is picking off your poor defenseless ground units, and you can just tell the pilot is chuckling to himself after every barrage, it feels great to bring the Missiles in. You charge up the Missiles to the max, aim up at the copter, and let loose a stream of spiraling rockets into the air, smoke trailing behind them. The pilot isn't chuckling anymore. Then the Gunship explodes in a very satisfying way, using Battalion Wars' excellent (and unique) graphics engine to good use.
This is quite possibly the funniest explosive of all time, perhaps second only to some of Worms World Party's. NOTE: This is only very fun and hilarious during a mutliplayer match. Okay, imagine this. You've bested your opponent in a sniper-fight, and his health is very low. He has retreated as far as he can go, and you have him on the run. But before you know it, he's cornered, and has nowhere to run. You begin to approach him, but suddenly you hear a noise to your right. You glance over and notice a ticking mine on the ground, which can only mean one thing: your opponent is armed with one last deadly weapon... the Timed Mine. You rush him, hoping to end him swiftly, and he wildly tosses tons of mines at you in a panic. Explosions are all around you, but you finally have one in your sights. However, mines can stick to anything, including walls, ceilings, and even... other players. The next thing you know, a red flashing icon is on your screen, warning you that your opponent has attached a mine to your person. You run around like a maniac, desperately ramming yourself into your enemy, hoping to take him out along with yourself. Then the explosion sounds, and you both fly into the air. And now you know the danger (and outright fun) of TimeSplitter 2's Timed Mines.
It's hard to choose just one explosive from Worms World Party. Why, there are bazookas, dynamite, banana bombs, exploding sheep... all manner of things that blow up! But it would be a shame to write a Top 10 List about explosives and not include the Holy Grail of them all... the Holy Hand Grenade! This is pretty much the most powerful bomb in the game (radius-wise), and that's saying a lot. Although small in size, tossing the grenade onto flat ground (preferably with lots of worms stationed nearby) results in a massive explosion, creating a huge sinkhole, catching some of the unsuspecting worms inside. It's also handy for knocking out walls and floors, which oftentimes opens up a hole leading into the murky waters below, which worms tumble into more often than not. Plus, it deals out huge damage. Very fun to say the least.
It's pretty tough to choose just one explosive from GRAW, but in the end I'd go with Smoke Grenades. When you're pinned down in an alleyway, and need to get to the other side of the street, Smoke Grenades are the perfect option. Tossing them out at just the right angle while dodging enemy fire can be rewarding, and as the smoke slowly floats out, the air becomes thick and smoky. Activating Thermal Vision allows you to see through the fog while the enemies can't, and successfully sneak past their sights with your squad. This tactical explosive adds onto the GRAW experience a whole lot, and is very cool.
Remember the asteroid field scene from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, where Obi-Wan Kenobi narrowly escapes Jango Fett's powerful assortment of weapons? If so, then you'll remember one of Jango's coolest weapons (in my opinion, THE coolest), the Seismic Charge. He launched a capsule into space, allowing it to float around for a few seconds. During this time, all the sound in the area was pulled into the charge, muting everything 100%. Then, with a fantastically loud bang, huge blue energy waves were released, obliterating everything in their path. Now one of the coolest scene in the movie can be reenacted in Rebel Strike's multiplayer mode! You can choose to be either the Jedi Starfighter or Jango Fett's Slave 1, both of which are equipped with Seismic Charges. You can duke it out in the skies, launching as many charges at a time as you want. My personal favorite manuever is spinning around like crazy and emptying my entire load of Seismic Charges, leaving an absolutely massive sphere of energy in my wake. Ah, good times...
How could I not add in Bob-ombs? The famed bombs with feet and eyes from the world of Mario deserve a good place on the list. Although they take various forms and uses in different games, they all pretty much act the same. And that behavior always includes ultimately blowing up. I wonder if life for a Bob-omb is sad? But that's beside the point. Sometimes you can toss them at other enemies, sometimes they serve other useful purposes, and sometimes they even help you out by opening canons for you. But whatever the use, they're a classic Mario baddie, and shouldn't be forgotten.
Ah, a true classic. Although the bombs from the 2D Zelda games are great, it's the ones from the 3D ones that land them on the list. The bombs can be used like any item from the series, and if you've ever played a Zelda game in your life, you should be quite familiar with them. Once you bring them out, they automatically go off in a certain amount of time, which can result in hurting Link if you're not careful. You can blow all kinds of things up with them, and uncover hidden caves and holes in doing so. They can be used against enemies too, which can be great fun, especially in Wind Waker. First of all, the bombs have that cool swirly cel-shaded look when they explode in that game, which is really cool-looking. And when you toss one near certain enemies, they might glance over and notice it, sending them into a panic and running headlong in the opposite direction. Bombs are a great item in the Zelda series, and pretty much every game has added them in. They're classic and essential for exploring the realms of Hyrule, which is why they landed #2 on my list. But the best is yet to come...
And finally we come to the very best of the best in Explosiville... Star Wars Battlefront's own Thermal Detonators. This is the second Star Wars-themed explosive on my list, which is a small wonder considering the fact that I, myself, am a major Star Wars fan. But rest assured, my opinion on this oh-so-wonderful weapon is not overly biased. Thermal Detonators really are the king of explosives, and now I shall tell you why. In Battlefront, many troops can use Thermals, though none can carry as many as the Jet Trooper (my personal favorite troop), which can carry up to 6. As long as you have some left, you can toss them at will, and to quote Han Solo, "Here's where the fun begins". Throw one in the middle of a group of Stormtroopers and watch them fly in all directions, stand next to a Gonk droid (which refuels your ammo) and toss an unlimited supply at a nearby battle, jet around as the Jet Trooper and chuck 'em inside the enemy's base, all kinds of things! Sometimes the air is thick with them during a large and heated war, droids and troopers flying along with them. They have such an awesome launching quality, which allows you to use them to shoot enemies out windows, off cliffs, and anywhere else on the battlefield. You can even climb up to a high ledge, drop one next to yourself, and see how far you can launch your troop. They can also be a huge danger though. Beware when you hear the ever-famous "Oh no!" of a fellow Clonetrooper, signifying a nearby Thermal Detonator, and dive for cover. They're such an integral part of the wonderful Battlefront experience, and completely deserve the #1 spot on this list.
So there you have it... The Top 10 Explosives. When it comes to blowing things up, these are the best of the best. Well, at least in my humble opinion they are. There were some great ones that didn't make it on the list, such as the Rockets from San Francisco Rush 2049 and Bombers from Advance Wars, but I think I got down the 10 best in the end. I hope you enjoyed the list, and keep on blowing things up (in video games, mind you... be legal).
