Administrator urges League to rethink points penalty
Portsmouth's administrator Andrew Andronikou has given a 'team talk' ahead of Monday's game against Liverpool and told the players he will do all he can to persuade the Premier League not to dock nine points - a scenario he feels would "distort" the league.
• Administrator irked by Lloyd talk
• Liverpool v Pompey preview
Andronikou has spoken to the players at the training ground in the presence of manager Avram Grant in an unusual team meeting. The address comes ahead of the club's last league match before the Premier League invokes its own rules and docks nine points for the club going into administration.
Andronikou believes if the League does take that course of action, it will make the Portsmouth squad non-competitive and could affect the credibility of the remainder of the season as Pompey may yet impact on the relegation battle, the title race and issues such as qualification for Europe.
The administrator has informed the players he will make a personal plea to the Premier League this week because, under current circumstances, Andronikou believes a points penalty "could be a mistake".
"I met the players on Friday, and it was an amazing get together where I got the message that they believe they can still avoid relegation, and they want a crack at it," Andronikou told Soccernet. "My message to them was that they need to continue to let me worry about the finances and not let those problems wander into the dressing room, that for God's sake go and play for the club and forget everything that is happening off the field.
"The feedback was highly positive. The players remain fully focused, not just for the league where they feel they still have a chance for survival, but also in the FA Cup. They are highly motivated to continue their impressive run in the FA Cup.
"In the league the attitude remains 'let's go and show them' and I am sure you will see that reaction at Liverpool. For that reason I believe they remain highly motivated for the game at Liverpool, but if the Premier League dock the nine points after this game, it will have a harmful effect. It is bound to.
"If they lost the nine points it will be a massive blow to them; it will be a crushing psychological blow and it must determine how they will perform for the remainder of the season. Surely, the competitiveness of the Premier League is crucial, and we have reached the most important part of the season - the final ten games. The whole of the league could be distorted, certainly the key issue of relegation and who wins the league could be compromised.
"The players must have the incentive to play their hearts out for all the points still at stake, still believing they can survive relegation. They believe it still, and they will play against Liverpool as if they still believe it. How can they be expected to believe it if the nine points are docked?
"It is the first time the Premier League will be taking this action, and it could be a mistake. It will set the precedent, and it would be the wrong precedent, so they need to think very carefully.
"The players are naturally concerned about their careers, and they want to go out and win every game, but why should they risk leg and limb if they are already relegated?
"I fully appreciate and understand the Premier League's predicament, but my job is to protect the club, first and foremost. For that reason I can see that the club might have to take its medicine and the nine points, but there are the other clubs who might want to stop and think about the effect this will have. Other clubs have their financial problems, so they simply cannot point an accusing finger at Portsmouth."
Portsmouth will return to the high court on Tuesday where Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs will officially accept their move into administration.
The crisis club escaped being wound up last Thursday after HMRC abandoned their claim owner Balram Chainrai did not have the legal right to put the club into administration.

Two Chief Ministers K Chandrasekhar Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu, who wooed the voters through their hectic schedule of campaigning, could not cast their votes in the civic polls that recorded a low percentage of voters on February 2.
However, family members of KCR and Chandrababu Naidu cast their votes at the allotted booths. The two CMs pressed their party men and cadre for the electioneering that went on for two weeks till the final day of campaigning, KCR and his arch rival Chandrababu Naidu stayed away from voting as they have no chance in the GHMC area.
According to the information, the two chief ministers have a right of voting at their respective home districts of Medak and Chittoor. IT Minister KT Rama Rao and his wife cast their votes and asked the people to cast their votes. Similarly, Chandrababu's wife Bhuvaneshwari, son Nara Lokesh and his wife Brahmani cast votes at the booths allotted. (NSS)

I was wondering how good them auto presure tanners work. Do they save much money. Any sugestions?
Return to Tanning Category Menu
Yes they work and work well.
as for saving you money, yes you can pay for it pretty quickly.
But would you rather be mounting or fleshing?
You can make money tanning with them. a few years back I was tanning capes for some taxidermist, I could turn out four to six capes per
day. Thats 200.00 to 300.00 per day. depending on how hard you want to work.
Jason, yea i agree with john i got mine a few months ago.
and don't know how i did without it.
After being unhappy with a wholesale Fur Dresser I bought an Auto tanner. Total waste of $ I contacted a Fur Dresser in Michigan (H&H Fur Dressing)and couldn't be more pleased. I saw an ad for them about a year ago in Breakthrough or Taxidermy Today. You may want to check them out before you buy a machine, at least you'll have something to compair to. Good luck!
The auto tanner is what makes my business boom. Guys love the turn around time. I take capes out of the freezer thaw flesh and tan in two days the end of the week they get mounted and two weeks later they are out the door. This meens my profit is in hand. I have 3 deer left to do out of 20 from this year. two are tanned and ready to mount they will be mounted this week. One more deer there done for the season. Also have completed 1 LS bear 1 shoulder mount bear and 1 bear rug. carabou, 3 coyotes 2 Bob cats 1 bobcat pedestal 1 coyote pedestal. I should be very ready for turkey season in May. Not taking on fish yet. The auto tanner is the only way to go if your willing to work. If you want to play and live off deposits while you wait for the tannery then go for it. But profit comes from mounts going out not coming in. Just my opinion Jack F
I also fleshed and tanned 5 other deer capes for another taxidermist. I did two flat deer skins, two bobcat flat skins. Tanned 3 coyotes for the other taxidermist.

If you warp from Gran Pulse to Eden through the warp located at Vallis Media - Base Camp, you will find yourself at the entrance to Edenhall. From the save point you warp in front of, I run a path down the hall and to the right killing all the Sacrifices (usually drops Perfume which sells for 12,000 Gil each) and soldiers (usually drop Incentive Chips which sell for 1,500 Gil). Keep killing away until you reach a doorway with a Juggernaut in front of it. Don't fight the Juggernaut since it doesn't really drop anything decent and just make the quick run back (20 sec or so) to the save point you started at. If you run up to the save point and then turn around to go back down the hallway again, all the enemies respawn. I can usually get about 130,000 Gil from one or two runs through in about 15 min.

Make the death trick work. Claiming that something that does work, doesn't work, doesn't work.
darkm0d (Expert) - 7 years ago
The best way to even the odds in your favor for the death trick is to make sure Vanille has the marlboro wand (upgraded from belladona wand) maxed to star level, the Adamantoise in question is debuffed as much as you can and Vanille has faith/vigilance/haste on her.
If that still isn't working for you, i've found mission 24 to be about the fastest way to make gil. It doesn't hold a candle to farming Adamantoise though.
Madjik2k2 - 7 years ago
My fastest way is to hunt the adamantortises for platnums in the valley of archelytte steppe, while having big Cactuar mission active. Equip Collector cat, and a genji glove for fang. major things needed are faithra and bravera for Fang, and at least lvl 2 weps for all. Average time is about 2 mins for the fight itself.
Syn x 3
Start fight in syn x 3, casting faithra and bravera on fang. watch the foot, if its about to drop, switch to Combat Clinic. Once the buffs for fang are placed, in addition to haste and protect for all 3, switch to Relentless and ruin the leg. (changing to CC if needed to heal). Once staggered, Highwing the leg. (should be able to one-shot it). Switch to CC if needed to heal to green, and target the 2nd leg with provoke. (avoids Ravs from targeting the head). Switch to RA and ruin / highwind again. As the he is falling, switch to Sab/Rav x 2. Spam Imperil, then Deshell, and finally deprotect. Switch to Syn/rav/rav and rebuff Fang with Bravera (add faithra to others if @ lower levels). Swith to RA, and go to the fight is yours, just spam attack. If he is about to get up, toss in a final highwind for good mesure. (esp. if @ low lvls. )
for the fight with the dogs added, just start in RA and blitz until they are gone, then do one dose of CC before doing the above.
The reason to start the cactuar mission is simple: the torts respawn if you start then exit the fight. This will be quicker than saving and reloading.

Drought? Colorado?
Flying into Denver a couple of weeks ago, the mountains above 10,000 feet looked like January. I had to check the calendar on my watch.
A few days later, driving up the Big Thompson Canyon to Estes Park, it was raining, the river was raging and close to its banks, and I foresaw a repeat of last fall, when canyon residents had to scamper up the rocks to safety.
I pictured my family and me having to do this, and wondered if my wife (who had questioned the wisdom of heading up the canyon in the first place) would push me into the torrent mid-climb.
One tourist's subjective experience. But in talking to Colorado onion growers on the phone shortly after I got back, I was happy to hear that all that snow and water will indeed make a difference for Centennial State shippers this year.
I made the calls based on a tip that some onion growers in the Greeley area were having some troubles.
Just what Colorado produce grower-shippers need, I thought, after drought, the Jensens and, of course, all that acreage transitioning over to "grass" — and I don't mean asparagus.
(Sorry, after a week listening to a 12-year-old make one lame marijuana-legalization joke after another, it unfortunately seems to have rubbed off on me.)
It therefore made me happy to hear that, with the exception of some isolated hail, the Colorado onion crop is looking great this year, and one of the reasons is growers aren't stressing out as much over water.
The key phrase there, unfortunately, may be "as much" — they're still stressing.
"The water situation is better, but it's still critical if we don't have the storage," Randy Knutson of Greeley-based Martin Produce told me.
Bob Sakata, owner of Brighton, Colo.-based Sakata Farms, said the early hail shouldn't have a negative affect on the 2014 crop, coming as early as it did.
"When bad weather hits this early, the crop can come back. Our onion crop north of Denver is one of the better crops we've seen."
As for the water situation?
"There's no drought problem," Sakata said. "In fact, in northern Colorado they're worried about flooding."
Tell me about it, though I have to admit that, once our car and my marriage survived that harrowing trip up the Big Thompson, the experience of hiking in shorts and a tee shirt on top of several feet of hard-packed snow was not terrible.

Paris, Ile-de-France, France, 2015/01/07 - Safran announced that one of its companies, Hispano-Suiza, is building a new plant in Poland with the support of Polish authorities, to meet the requirements of two other Safran companies. PAR: SAF | SAFRAN
Safran announced today that one of its companies, Hispano-Suiza, is building a new plant in Poland with the support of Polish authorities, to meet the requirements of two other Safran companies, Snecma and Techspace Aero, for the LEAP and Silvercrest engine programs, respectively.
Set to be completed at the end of 2016, the new production plant will be located near the Hispano-Suiza Polska plant in "Aviation Valley", a major aviation manufacturing hub in southeast Poland. The plant will cover about 8,000 square meters (86,400 sq ft) and generate over 100 jobs.
The new plant will include two production lines: one for Snecma, making low-pressure turbine blades, and the other for Techspace Aero, making low-pressure compressor spools.
Safran has operated in Poland since 2001 via Hispano-Suiza, the worlds leading maker of power transmissions for civil and military fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. The companys local subsidiary, Hispano-Suiza Polska, has over 500 employees at its Sedziszow plant. Safran has a broad customer base in the country, including not only aerospace, but also the defense and security industries, and also calls on more than 30 Polish suppliers.
Through these new production lines, Safran will be able to support its customers growth driven by new-generation aircraft: the Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX and Comac C919 commercial jetliners, powered by the LEAP engine, and the Cessna Citation Longitude and Dassault Aviation Falcon 5X business jets, powered by the Silvercrest.
Safran (safran-group.com) is a leading international high-technology group with three core businesses: Aerospace (propulsion and equipment), Defence and Security. Operating worldwide, the Group has 66,300 employees and generated sales of 14.7 billion euros in 2013*. Working alone or in partnership, Safran holds world or European leadership positions in its core markets. The Group invests heavily in Research & Development to meet the requirements of changing markets, including expenditures of 1.8 billion Euros in 2013. Safran is listed on Euronext Paris and is part of the CAC40 index.
Sales in 2013 restated for the impacts of IFRS11 amounted to 14.4 billion euros.

By Jeremy Greenfield, Editorial Director, Digital Book World, @JDGsaid
Given the details of the settlement and what has already occurred in the case, Judge Denise Cote is likely to approve the e-book price-fixing settlement between the Department of Justice and three of the largest U.S. publishers, according to an antitrust lawyer familiar with the case.
"She has already denied a motion from Apple to dismiss the case; the settling defendants are willing to settle; the DoJ believes they got a good deal; and the provisions of the settlement go to the heart of the DoJ's complaint. I expect she'll approve it," said Jay Levine, a partner in the D.C. office of Birmingham, Ala.-based law firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, who specializes in antitrust law and has been following the e-book price-fixing case.
On April 11, three of the largest U.S. book publishers, Hachette, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins, agreed to a settlement with the Justice Department over a lawsuit that it filed alleging an e-book price-fixing conspiracy between Apple, the three above publishers and Penguin and Macmillan. Apple, Penguin and Macmillan have not settled with Justice.
For her not to approve the settlement Judge Cote would have to find that it's not in the public interest, said Levine.
Outside of Judge Cote using her own judgment and hearing out the arguments of all parties – the Department of Justice on one side and the publishers on the other – that's where the public commentary comes in.
In the 60-day commentary period between when the settlement was filed on April 11 and June 11, Justice received some 150 letters from public parties concerned about the case, amounting to 200 printed pages. The information load was so heavy, that the Judge made the unusual decision not to print the public comments and to host them online.
"She will consider them…it is hard to say whether they will make a difference," said Levine.
Whether or not Judge Cote finds the settlement to be in the public's interest will have to do with the details of the agreement, of which several are uncommon.
DoJ settlements attempt to right the alleged wrong, according to James Cooper, a professor at George Mason University School of Law and an expert in antitrust law who has been following the case. Hence, the end to agency pricing with Apple for the settling publishers for two years and the prohibition of most-favored-nation clauses from their contracts for five years.
What is different in this case is the prohibition that the publishers enter into an agency agreement with another bookseller, according to Cooper.
"'We're going to make you get out of the contracts that were a key part of this alleged conspiracy,'" said Cooper, speculating on the Justice Department's thinking. "And then we're going to go further and say 'you can't have those kinds of contracts with any other retailer.'"
What's unusual about this is that in most settlements, the Justice Department will regulate the relationships between the parties involved in the case but no others, said Cooper. This nuance could have a significant effect on the industry.
"There's a lot of detail in the proposed settlement is that greatly restrains if not completely eviscerates the ability of these publishers to control retailer pricing," said Cooper.
One other point in the settlement that has been discussed widely in publishing circles is the discounting clause that stipulates that Amazon and other book retailers can now control the price of the settling publishers' books but have to break even or make a profit on the business they do with each publisher. So, Barnes & Noble, for instance, would be allowed to discount Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs e-book at will, taking a loss on each copy sold, but would have to make up that loss by profiting on the rest of Simon & Schuster's catalog that it sells.
Publishing industry observers have raised many questions around this: When does the fiscal year start and stop for each of the parties? How will this practice be monitored? How are overall profits and losses on e-books going to be accounted for in terms of a large, overall digital business that sells devices and services along with digital downloads? Will there be penalties if a retailer is unable to make a profit at the end of the year after selling books at a loss throughout the year?
According to Cooper, this detail in the settlement was likely negotiated by the lawyers for the settling parties as a way to prevent predatory pricing on the part of some e-book retailers.
Levine, the Washington, D.C. antitrust lawyer, said that this kind of deal in the settlement is not uncommon.
"In every settlement, the DoJ doesn't want to become the business," he said. "They do not want to be an oversight regulatory body. They set the broad parameters and have the ability to audit, to look at something if they think there's a violation, but the parties come up with the details. They may do it in discussions with the DoJ to make sure the DoJ is fine with it."
While many in the publishing industry may find this part of the settlement confusing and irksome, if Judge Cote approves the settlement on July 27, it will become part of day-to-day operations at some of the largest U.S. publishers.
"The publishing industry finds the settlement troublesome, but from an antitrust standpoint the settlement is pretty much par for the course considering the allegations," said Levine.

New Delhi [India]: In a shocking incident, two class 12 students of a Delhi government school in Nangloi, Sultanpuri allegedly stabbed their teacher to death in front of their classmates, after they were not allowed to sit for an examination due to lack of sufficient attendance.
The school authorities said Mukesh, a Hindi teacher, was allegedly attacked with a knife in the classroom after an examination.
Kumar was immediately rushed to the Balaji Action hospital, but the doctors could not save him.
"This is the incident of SP Road Sultanpuri school. It took place around 5-5:30 p.m. Two students attacked Hindi teacher Mukesh with a knife. It took place in the classroom when an examination was going on. The school staff brought him to the Balaji Hospital. The hospital authorities asked to deposit money first before treatment. The two students had low attendance percentage and their names were struck off from the list," said Sumit, one of the school staff.
Gulab Sharma, another school staff described the two students as "criminal-type", who had failed thrice.
"Their names had been stuck off, but were then reinstated in the list due to pressure from their parents and principal. Two of the students had earlier also threatened the teacher. So, the teacher had also requested the principal to reinstate their names. The teacher was very scared. When the teacher was coming out from the classroom, these two students stabbed him from behind," he added.
Sharma, however alleged that the hospital delayed in giving Mukesh treatment.
"He is not with us anymore. Mukesh was their class teacher. Two-three students were adult as well. Their names were reinstated but they were not allowed to sit for the examination yesterday. The police said they are trying to nab the accused but they are still at large," he added.
Mukesh had rusticated one of the two students for low attendance.
Meanwhile, both the students have been apprehended. (ANI)

"Fostering leadership, learning and empathy between cultures was and remains the purpose of the international scholarship program."
Senator J. William Fulbright
In 1945, Senator J. William Fulbright introduced a bill in the U.S. Congress that called for the use of proceeds from the sale of surplus war property to fund the "promotion of international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture, and science."
The U.S. Congress created the Fulbright Program in 1946, immediately after World War II, to foster mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchanges. Senator J. William Fulbright, sponsor of the legislation, saw it as a step toward building an alternative to armed conflict.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is now the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for both students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools around the world. It is the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program. It enables U.S. students and artists to benefit from unique resources in every corner of the world. It enables U.S. citizens to gain international competence in an interdependent world.
The U.S. Student Program currently awards approximately 1,100 grants annually in all fields of study, and operates in more than 140 countries worldwide. For comprehensive information on grant opportunities in a specific country, please visit the participating countries' pages on the Fulbright website.
Grants for Students
- The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships for U.S. graduating seniors, graduate students, young professionals and artists to study abroad for one academic year. The Program also includes an English Teaching Assistant component.
- The Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program provides opportunities for young English teachers from overseas to refine their teaching skills and broaden their knowledge of American culture and society, all while strengthening the instruction of foreign languages at colleges and universities in the United States.
- Fulbright recipients benefit from connection to life-long community of 'Fulbrighters'. The Fulbright Association is a private, non-profit membership organization of Fulbright alumni and friends.
- The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is the principal administrator of the Fulbright Program worldwide along with assistance from the Institute of International Education (IIE).

We say it at almost every contest we go to, and this time we really, truly mean it…BMX is progressing at incredible rates. The bar has been raised once again. 25 riders threw down their sickest stuff and we have all the bangers right here…Do not miss this one!
Contest Format: Four guys rode together in a jam format. Each rider took turns until they each got two full visits to the course. After their two runs they got to take turns trying a few "last tricks." The extra tricks counted towards their scores, as did both of their runs.

Cats Plus Online Videos Equal Precious
Last summer, 10,000 people turned out at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis for the first Internet Cat Video Festival. It was such a success, they've brought it back. Scott Stulen, who runs the festival, thinks cats and online videos just work together.
And our Last Word In Business today is click catnip. Ten thousand people turned out at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis last summer for the first Internet Cat Video Festival.
It was such a success, they have brought it back. Scott Stulen runs it and thinks cats and online videos, they just work together.
SCOTT STULEN: I like using the comparison with dog owners - that they go to dog parks, they go on walks in public and meet other dog owners. But cats are more kind of just within the home, and there isn't really this place. So in some ways like, you know, the Internet is a cat park.
MONTAGNE: Part of the festival is a competition to win the Golden Kitty Award. One of this year's contenders is called "Cat a Log."
GREENE: Har-har. That is no grainy phone video of cat tricks. It actually has actors, a musical score, a storyline about a couple whose new bed came with the cat that was perched on it in the catalog photo.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I thought it was just set dressing. I mean, I didn't think they'd actually ship the cat with the bed. Who does that? They didn't ship the Tibetan singing bull here, did they?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Actually...
MONTAGNE: The winner of this year's Golden Kitty will be announced tonight. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The winner will not be announced on Tuesday, Aug. 27, but on Wednesday, Aug. 28.]
GREENE: And America's obsession with cat videos just goes on, doesn't it? I'll be watching for those entries. That's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
MONTAGNE: And I'm Renee Montagne.

Coach Jon Gruden forced a smile, noting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will need some cooperation from a couple of his former employers to ensure another trip to the playoffs.
To get in, the Bucs (9-6) not only have to defeat the Oakland Raiders in Sunday's regular-season finale, but also need the Philadelphia Eagles to beat or tie the Dallas Cowboys later in the day.
Yes, the same Eagles who have been a nemesis the past decade. The same Eagles who will be knocked out of the race for the NFC's final playoff spot if Tampa Bay takes care of business against the Raiders (4-11).
Gruden, a one-time Philadelphia assistant, conceded it's a little awkward rooting for the Eagles, who eliminated Tampa Bay from the playoffs twice before the Bucs broke through to beat them in the NFC championship game six years ago.
"There is a lot of irony," said Gruden, whose team finds itself in its current predicament because it's nose-dived since being in a position to repeat as NFC South champions and challenge for the No. 1 seed three weeks ago.
"You dig yourself in a hole," linebacker Derrick Brooks added, "you do things you've never done."
Consecutive losses to Carolina, Atlanta on the road and San Diego at home dropped the Bucs from a tie for first place in the division to the brink of elimination. A normally reliable defense has struggled, and the offense has been sporadic.
Gruden and his players insist no one is panicking, that all they're focused on is rebounding against the Raiders.
"People talk about colossal collapses. We really haven't collapsed. We've lost to three good football teams," the coach said.
"You can't really dwell on the three losses. We still have an opportunity and anything can happen," running back Warrick Dunn said.
"We have to have that confidence and that little swagger going back out there, so we can start to play football the way we played for 12 weeks. If we can do that, things will turn around real quick."
The Raiders and Bucs are facing each other for the third time since Gruden left Oakland for Tampa Bay after the 2001 season.
The teams met in the Super Bowl in Gruden's first year with the Bucs, with Tampa Bay winning 48-21. The Raiders won the most recent meeting 30-20 in 2004 and lead the regular-season series 5-1.
This one could be the final game for interim Raiders coach Tom Cable, who took over when Lane Kiffin was fired four games into this season. Kiffin is the son of Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who will be coaching his last game with Tampa Bay if the Bucs don't make the playoffs. The 68-year-old assistant has announced he'll join Lane in the son's new job at the University of Tennessee.
Although the Raiders are just 3-8 under his guidance, Cable thinks the team is headed in the right direction. After beating Houston 27-16 last week, he stressed the Raiders won't make the long trip to Tampa with intentions of just playing out the string in another bad season.
"This comes at the right time for us. We need to do something like this. We've been improving, but we've had some speed bumps, if you will," Cable said. "We played well last week and won a game. ... But we've not been able to do it two in a row. So for us, our motivation is pretty clear."
After losing three in a row, the Bucs said there's no chance they'll overlook the Raiders, who have gotten improved play from young quarterback JaMarcus Russell lately. The second-year pro has completed 61.4 percent of his passes for 478 yards, four touchdowns and one interception the past two games.
Gruden, who coached in Oakland for four seasons, expects the Raiders to embrace the role of spoilers.
He recalled a similar situation from 1999, when the Raiders were out of the playoff race but entered the final week of season in a position to help Seattle and mentor Mike Holmgren with a victory at Kansas City.
Oakland fell behind early, but rallied to win 41-38 in overtime.
"We were down 17-0, and if Kansas City wins the game they win the division, and if they lose the game they're out of the playoffs and Seattle wins the division," Gruden said. "Mike Holmgren still sends me a Christmas card every year thanking me for that."

Idaho soldier still recovering from injuries sustained in Afghan blast
By JOEL MILLS | The Lewiston (Idaho) Tribune | Published: January 23, 2014
LEWISTON, Idaho — Staff Sgt. Cody Ensley, the Lewiston Green Beret injured in Afghanistan last year, has been transferred to a rehabilitation center as he continues to recover, his grandfather said Wednesday.
Cliff Ensley, a Lewiston saddlemaker, said Cody Ensley is also scheduled for another major surgery Friday. Doctors will put a plate in his head to replace a missing softball-size portion of his skull.
Cody Ensley suffered extensive injuries to the left side of his body when a roadside bomb exploded near his unit Nov. 13. The blast killed one Green Beret, and injured two others besides Ensley. He received initial treatment in Germany before his transfer to Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
He is now being treated at the San Antonio Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center, where he is slowly learning to speak and walk again, Cliff Ensley said.
It is still too early to say when Cody Ensley might be able to transfer to a rehab facility closer to home, he said.
Cody Ensley's parents continue to spend as much time as they can at his bedside, and can still use help defraying their travel and living expenses while in Texas. Those interested in donating to a fund to help with those expenses may do so at Banner Bank branches in Lewiston and Clarkston. An online fund has also been established.
Ensley graduated from Lewiston High School in 2006 before joining the military in 2008.

Investigating effects of oil price changes on the US, the UK and Japan
Based on the structural VAR model of the global crude oil market proposed by Kilian(2009), this article investigates the causes for wild fluctuations in oil prices since the mid-2000s. A main contribution of the study is to compare the effects of changes in oil price on three major economies, the US, the UK, and Japan. I find oil-specific demand shocks as well as aggregate demand shocks played an important role in the rise in the real price of oil since early 2002 and the subsequent sharp drops after the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.. Moreover I have found that oil-specific demand shocks increase real GDP in Japan, which is very different from the US and the UK where oil-specific demand shocks lead to reduction in real GDP. This difference possibly comes from the oil efficiency of Japanese products.

Lokomotiv and U20 team Russia goalie Semen Varlamov (Washington Capitals) gave an exclusive interview to AllHockey.Ru after yesterday�s game against Metallurg Magnitogorsk (3:1).
Good evening Semen. If you don�t mind, we will start with the question of the U20 national team.
S. Varlamov: Yes, please, I am ready to answer your questions.
How did you take the fact that you were not invited to the U20 national team training camp?
S. Varlamov: To be honest it was a big surprise.
What was the reason? Have you been keeping in contact with U20 national team?
S. Varlamov: Last time I talked to Sergei Nemchinov was after a game in Moscow against Spartak, and he told me that I need to get ready for the national team and the World Championships. After that we haven�t talked.
After the announcement of the roster, you haven�t talked to him?
S. Varlamov: No, after that match we haven�t talked. For me it was a surprise, because I was getting ready, and was already thinking about the national team, about how I will be playing there and for what.
So, your last performance for the U20 national team is the super series?
S. Varlamov: Yes.
Was your relationship there normal?
S. Varlamov: Our relationship has been normal, no conflicts. I am not really a person of conflicts. I never had any problems with guys nor the coaches.
What about when you were called up to the first team, then the U20 team left without you, the first also left without you, you still had no contact with him?
S. Varlamov: From the side of the U20 squad no one came in contact with me.
And Bykov explained the fact that you ended up outside the team?
S. Varlamov: Vyacheslav Bykov told me that I will be going home and they will be taking another skater with them. That�s it.
Will you get in contact with Nemchinov yourself?
S. Varlamov: No. I wasn�t invited to the national team, what can you do. I guess that means I am not deserving.
So, it seems that the main goalie of a Super League club is considered to be lower than backup goalies?
S. Varlamov: I think that question should be asked to the national team coaching staff.
Now what are your plans?
S. Varlamov: Right now we, with the rest of the team is going to Egypt. We will spend a week there, then we will return here, continuing to train, and continue the season.
You are going to rest or to prepare for the rest of the season?
S. Varlamov: There we will be resting and getting ready.
So, the team is leaving, but your phone would be turned on, and the national team coaches will be able to reach you?
S. Varlamov: No, I will turn off the phone. I want to get away from everything, including hockey. Complete removal of everything.
Understood. And how will you comment about the situation that has happened with the goalies on your Super League team?
S. Varlamov: There is some information that Egor Podomatsky is leaving, and another new goalie is coming in � a Finn Riksman. So, right now we will have two more good goalies. So, I will be competing with them for ice time.
I heard that in connection with Egor�s departure, the club plans to sign another goalie?
S. Varlamov: Yes? Not Martin Brodeur by chance?! (laughing)
Well, I think that it would be interesting for your to compete with Brodeur for a spot in the lineup, but in this case, I think the conversation is not about him. So, there is no news within the team about a new goalie?
S. Varlamov: No, we don�t know anything.
Then can I only wish you a nice rest and to prove to the U20 national team coaches that their selection was a mistake. Although, I think after the end of the second Super League phase they will still have another chance to invite you to the U20 national team.
S. Varlamov: U20 national team?
Yes, why not? You would get a chance to get ready on a more serious level.
S. Varlamov: I guess they could call me up, if I have my passport with me, but how will they figure out my visa?
You will be back in a week right?
S. Varlamov: I guess we will see what happens..

A GROUP of dancers say they have been pushed to the back of the queue after their Newport venue repeatedly cancelled their dances forcing them to go elsewhere.
More than 40 dancers aged between 60 and 85 have had to find another venue for their weekly dances following repeated cancellations at Newport's Lysaght Institute over the past few months.
Dance leader Pam Jones was disappointed when her dances were repeatedly cancelled and was forced to seek another venue at the Whitehead Sports and Social Club in order to keep the dances consistent.
"I got involved with the Lysaght right when it was getting refurbished," she said.
"I got on the committee to get my dances there, as everybody used to dance there.
"We are all pensioners, and right from the beginning I said that I wanted a Friday afternoon and a Sunday evening dance there, but there was no contract and they were cancelling my dances left, right and centre. Everybody is disappointed as it has a beautiful ballroom.
"Some of the dancers only go out once a week and look forward to the dance."
Dancer David Wassall, 69 of Risca, is also disappointed by the outcome.
He said: "It is unfortunate that it is run by a business and not the council because as a business it is looking for money.
"But from my point of view it is for the community, but we pensioners have been pushed to the back of the queue."
Alun Harries, social enterprise project manager with Linc Cymru, said: "The Lysaght Institute is at the heart of the local community, and we need to ensure that it's accessible to as many people from the community who want to use it.
"On occasions, when we have a big event in the diary such as a wedding, some of our regular users have to move the time or date of their sessions. We are very sorry that the tea dance group has decided to move and we would be very happy to host them again.
The tea dances will now be held at Whiteheads from January 12, at 8pm.

It is the most common disease among children.
It is the cause of more missed school days than any other chronic condition.
It is asthma. The Centers for Disease Control reported that 17.3 million people had asthma during 1998. The estimate of the number of cases in Ohio from the CDC for 1998, the last year that data is available, is 748,200. The American Lung Association reports that 4.8 million children under 18 have asthma.
Wooster physician Dr. Robert Sibilia defined asthma as a chronic condition where the airway is inflamed. The cause of the disease is not known, but Sibilia said there are certain triggers that can cause an attack. "Allergies, smoke, excessive cold, infections can all trigger an attack," he said.
These triggers cause the airway to tighten. It also causes inflammation which produces phlegm which is coughed up during an attack.
"Over the past 10 years, treatment plans have changed. We are working to reduce the symptoms so when a patient encounters a trigger, their symptoms will not be so bad," he said.
One change Sibilia noted is treating asthma at the first sign of symptoms. "We are using higher potency medications and there is more use of steroids in treatment," he said. Sibilia said there are four categories of asthma: mild intermittent, when a person has problems three to four times in a year; mild persistent, characterized by night coughing two to four times a week; moderate persistent, when a person is on medication; and severe persistent, when a patient has active symptoms on a daily basis and also has multiple triggers for an attack.
Sibilia's new treatment plans have been effective for 14-year-old Shawn Patrick Frazier of Fredericksburg. He was diagnosed with the disease during his early grade school years.
"Since he has an inhaler with him all the time and a breathing machine at home, he hasn't been to the emergency room in over two years," said Frazier's mother, Diana. Sibilia, who is board certified in internal medicine, pediatrics and pulmonology, aggressively treats his patients' symptoms and said that education of both parent and patient is vital to controlling the disease.
"All patients and parents have an emergency plan if the rescue medicines (typically an inhaler or breathing treatment) do not help," Sibilia said.
Sibilia said he wants his patients to get to a point where they are bored with their disease. "I want them to take their medicine, do their daily activities and not think about their disease," he said. "They should definitely play sports and should not tailor their level of activity to their disease," Sibilia said.
Shawn is active in soccer, wrestling, Boy Scouts and played baseball when he was younger. "Sometimes when I have trouble I have to sit out of practice," Shawn said. He missed several soccer practices last season, but has stayed active, which Sibilia says is important in controlling his disease. "Olympic athletes who have asthma have achieved great things and have not let their disease stop them," Sibilia said. Frazier's mother admits her son gets tired of having asthma and he gets frustrated when he has to miss practices or conditioning for wrestling, but he continues to try and stay active.
If Shawn plays soccer outside on a cold day, he must deal with two triggers for his disease, allergens in the air and the cold. "It's like a snowball effect," Diana said.
The attack can become progressively worse if Shawn comes in contact with several triggers. One way to control his attacks is to limit the amount of dust and other allergens in his room. "I tell him to clean his room, but every time he comes home from school or practice, he has stuff on his clothes and shoes. It is very hard to keep up," Diana said.
Over the years, Shawn has had to answer questions about what is wrong with him if he has to sit out of gym class. "Most people just want to know what is wrong and want to know more about asthma," Shawn said. He added that kids have rarely made fun of him when he cannot participate with the rest of his class.
The fear of having an asthma attack, which can in extreme cases result in death, has not really bothered Shawn. "The only time I have ever really been scared was when I was camping with Scouts," he said. "I was afraid I would get out and not be able to get back in time to get help, if I had an attack."
Sibilia said that many people suffer needlessly with asthma. "There is so much we can do for asthma now. We can manage symptoms and get people on a treatment plan to control their symptoms," he said.
Sibilia will be presenting a public health service program at Wooster Community Hospital titled, "Prevention and Management of Childhood Asthma," Tuesday at 7 p.m. Also at 6 p.m. Sibilia will give a program on symptoms and treatment of breathing disorders including adult onset asthma, chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. For more information or to register, call at 263-8144.

Raleigh, N.C. — Second District Congresswoman Renee Ellmers has been booking a lot of time on cable TV news over the past few days, acting as a media spokeswoman for House Republicans' opposition to the Affordable Care Act. But the second-term congresswoman's rising profile isn't dissuading potential challengers.
One of them is former North Carolina Commerce secretary Keith Crisco, a Democrat, who said Tuesday that he's weighing a 2014 bid for Ellmers' seat.
"It's a consideration," Crisco said in a phone interview with WRAL News. "It's early, and we've got a lot of work to do."
"Some mighty nice people have encouraged me," he added, declining to name any of them.
Crisco, a former Asheboro textile executive, was Commerce secretary under former Gov. Bev Perdue.
"My style was to work across the aisle," he said, "and I've been supported by Republicans, Democrats and independents."
Asked why he might choose to challenge Ellmers now, Crisco alluded to the current stalemate in Congress.
"I think people are ready for someone who's willing to talk and find solutions – someone more centrist," he said. "I think that's a better working approach."
He says he expects to make a decision within the next month.
Meanwhile, a Durham Democrat has filed his paperwork for his party's nomination to challenge Ellmers next November.
Attorney Houston Barnes announced his candidacy for the seat Tuesday via press release.
"We need a non-wavering voice in Washington that understands the needs within our communities and businesses," Barnes said. "I'm proud of my record as an entrepreneur who works every day helping to develop and grow small businesses in our community, and in Congress, I will continue to fight for the people of North Carolina."
Barnes, 31, has not held elected office before. He is married to Brice Barnes, a Democratic fundraiser and strategist.
A campaign spokeswoman says Barnes currently lives outside the 2nd district in southern Durham, but owns property in the district and plans to move his family soon.
Ellmers could yet face a Republican primary challenge for her seat as well.
Chatham County Republican Party Chair Jim Duncan had formed an exploratory committee, but dropped his primary bid last week. However, conservative Cary talk-show host Frank Roche is still considering a challenge from the right.
Roche didn't immediately respond to inquiries about his decision.

The Herald-Dispatch (Huntington, WV) March 31, 2003
Packages contain critical comforts
By Robert C. Withers
KENOVA - It all started with ChapStick. The need is critical for military people in the Persian Gulf, what with the sandstorms, wind and all.
From that, Lizbeth Lockhart has developed quite a list of items that she's mobilizing Ceredo and Kenova churches, businesses and individuals to gather up for those involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom - everything from Beef Jerky and powdered drink mixes to fingernail files.
Lockhart had sent an e-mail to her niece, Staff Sgt. Rachael Watkins of the 386th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron, and was surprised to learn how frantic she and her colleagues are to receive items that the folks on the home front take for granted.
"They want air fresheners to sit around or hang up," Lockhart says. "They sit in their tents for days at a time without the chance to take baths. They're sick of their own smell."
They want soap, too - any brand will do, but they prefer Irish Spring or any "smelly" kind, Lockhart says.
Most of Watkins' unit, which is based at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, sleeps in tents while in the Gulf region. Watkins herself sleeps in a trailer, since she is in charge of the unit's computers and they must be kept free of sand and dust. But even under those circumstances, Watkins awoke one morning with sand in her nose.
Shopping, as you might imagine, is no picnic in those conditions.
"There are too many people here, and the lines to the BX (Base Exchange) are like a two- or three-hour wait," she wrote to Lockhart five days before the war started. "We are not allowed to go off base, and we all started buying stuff online - but now we can't even do that."
The troops want letters and boxes of assorted greeting cards that they can send home to their loved ones on birthdays, anniversaries and holidays, says Lockhart, who is determined to ignore military requests that large shipments of materials not be sent by individuals. "And they especially want phone cards. They're allowed two 10-minute calls per week if circumstances allow, but some of the soldiers don't have the cash."
Watkins is the mother of two girls, aged 4 and 2. Her husband also is stationed at Nellis, but is in the process of relocating the family to McConnell Air Force Base near Wichita, Kan.
The Kenova Police Department, several churches in Ceredo and Kenova and a few businesses are serving as drop-off points for the goods.
The Rev. Ron McClung, pastor of First Baptist Church of Kenova, says the church plans to begin mailing packages by the middle of next week and is raising money to pay for postage - which he estimates at $12 a box.
"We're all just trying to pitch in," he says. "Everybody we run into has a connection over there; I find people very receptive."
Lockhart says people need a contact name to send materials.
"We will ship to Rachael," she says. "When she sees our return address, she will know the stuff's for everybody and turn it over to the chaplain for distribution. We're trying to get the whole area to contribute to this; hopefully we can end up with a surplus that we can send to other bases."
Lori Wolfe/The Herald-Dispatch
Pastor Ron McClung of First Baptist Church of Kenova and Lizbeth Lockhart of Kenova sort through donated items that will be packaged and shipped to soldiers in the Persian Gulf.
Dissenting view
Master Sgt. Richard Covington, the public affairs officer at Nellis Air Force Base, is politely asking people to ignore back-channel efforts to send "care packages" to troops in the Iraqi conflict.
"People mean well, but it's clogging up the system," he says. "It's like, 'I want bullets and I'm getting soap.' "
The Department of Defense has asked the public not to send unsolicited mail, care packages or donations to forward-deployed service members unless they are a family member, loved one or personal friend.
The government already has suspended the "Operation Dear Abby" and "Any Servicemember" mail programs because of force protection concerns. Although they provide support to friends and loved ones stationed overseas, they also provide an avenue to introduce hazardous substances or materials into the mail system from unknown sources.
Unsolicited mail, packages and donations from organizations and individuals also compete for limited airlift space used to transport supplies, war-fighting material and mail from family and loved ones.
Covington acknowledges the good intentions of those involved.
"But you've got to look at what we're trying to get over there right now," he says. "It's more appropriate to let the Red Cross do it because they work with the individual units."
Covington suggests that folks who want to help have bake sales or other fund-raisers and give the proceeds to the Air Force Aid Society or some other military charity.
To show support to troops overseas, the DOD suggests that people:
Log on to the following Web sites to show support - including greeting cards, virtual thank-you cards and calling-card donations - to help troops stay in contact with loved ones: www.defendamerica.mil/support_troops.html, www.usocares.org/home.htm and www.army.mil/operations/iraq/faq.html.
Visit Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, hospitals and nursing homes.
Volunteer services to honor veterans who served in past conflicts.
Mail from family members and loved ones has always been encouraged, and the military mail system will continue to work hard to get that mail to service members overseas, officials say.
Prayer effort
Dave Calvert, store manager of Family Christian Stores in the Huntington Mall and a member of River Cities Community Church, says his prayer effort on behalf of American military personnel involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom has drawn the names of 29 service personnel and seven prayer partners so far.
There are two ways to participate in the program:
Submit the name of a person for whom you want prayer at the store, along with his or her branch of service.
Ask a sales associate for the name of a military person for whom you will pray for the next 30 days.
"We would ask that you pick five minutes in your day - maybe before or after a meal - to pray for your soldier, his or her family and our nation's leaders," Calvert says. "We will have submitted names of all of the military personnel listed on one of the stars hanging from the ceiling."
Participants will receive a free brochure, "A Christian's Duty in Time of War," by Dr. Charles Stanley at In Touch Ministries in Atlanta, Ga.
"We need to pray because God urges us in the Scriptures to do so," Calvert says, citing 1 Timothy 2:1-3. "His desire is that we lead quiet and peaceful lives."
Call (304) 733-0743 between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
Other community outreach programs include:
WAYNE WAL-MART, 100 McGinnis Drive, which has put up a "Freedom Tree." Families are posting pictures of and information about military personnel serving overseas - there are eight of them so far - so customers can buy gifts to send them.
TOM'S FLOWERS AND THINGS, 917 8th St., which is giving away yellow ribbons, as long as they last, to show support for the troops. Owner Tom Hatten already has had to reorder
HUNTINGTON AREA ACLU and the CITY OF HUNTINGTON, which will have a panel discussion about the Patriot Act in City Council chambers at City Hall at noon today.
RIVER CITIES COMMUNITY CHURCH, 4385 U.S. 60 East, which is conducting "A Call to Care" service at 7 p.m. today. Woody Williams, the last surviving Medal of Honor winner from West Virginia, will speak and 100 blue-star banners will be distributed to families who have an immediate family member in the military.
HOWARD P. HALL POST 1064, VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS, 920 7th Ave., which is having a yard sale to raise funds to buy Operation Uplink phone cards for service people from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 5.
MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY, which is sponsoring a talk by historian Howard Zinn on war and terrorism in Duncan Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 14.

Concho Belts
Alltribes selection of handmade Concho Belts. Genuine Turquoise, Coral, Semi-Precious Stone Concho Belts plus a lot more available in both Men and Womens styles.
Concho Belt
Concho Belts are among the most striking pieces of Native American Indian jewelry. Conchas (named after the Spanish word for shell) are round or oval disks of silver. Conchos, also called conchos, are used in groups to decorate belts. The belt itself is called a "concha belt" or sometimes a "concho belt.". Conchos are another example of the foreign elements of design which the Navajo People adopted, changed and developed into a very unique piece of jewelry and a symbol of the Navajo nation. The Navajo have taken a design which they may have borrowed from the Mexican concho bridle ornament or from the oval shaped hair ornaments worn by the Plains Indians and added designs copied from the leather stamps of the Spanish and Moors. The shortened name, concho (or conchas for more than one) is used to describe these belts.
The very earliest (first phase) Conchos had round concha forms and a slotted center through which a belt made out of leather would be threaded. These round conchas were simple in design and were made of heavy-gauge silver. They were made by all hand die stamping. The conchas were often hammered out of single Mexican or American silver dollars. They had a decorated outside edge. Later, when Navajo silversmiths started soldering, copper loops were soldered to the back of solid conchas for threading the leather belt. In the 1890's the open center was no longer functional and, instead, an oval or diamond-shaped stamped pattern replaced it. The large center rosette was embossed by the use of a male and female die. Because they were copied from harness buckles, early belt buckles were small. Between 1900 and 1920 turquoise stones and butterfly spacers appeared, along with repousse work.
All of our backed Concho Belts can be put on Black or Brown Leather. Additional time is needed to make the belt in a different color. If you do not specify a Leather Color or Waist Size you will receive whatever color that is in the image and the belt will be shipped unpunched.

wikiHow to Make Lemonade from Lemon Juice Concentrate
Who doesn't like a glass of lemonade when it's hot outside? If you don't have lemons on hand, you can make lemonade from concentrate. It's pretty straightforward, but here are some tips to make it interesting.
1Mix a little water into the concentrate to make a thick mixture.
2Add maple syrup with a little cayenne. This will make your lemonade unique.
3Add sugar to taste. With the maple syrup, it might not be necessary.
4Add a little salt (1/4 spoon) in the mixture. If you have black salt, try that.
5Fill the glass with cold water and mix. Ice is optional; if the concentrate is still slushy and cold, ice might not be necessary.
6Add mint leaves for garnish. For extra mint flavor, bruise the leaves first.
7Decorate the glass with cute little umbrellas, and put a straw.
8Dice a thin little piece of lemon and put it on the edge of glass.

- If you're making lemonade to sell it, keep thin lemon slices and mint leaves in jars so that they stay fresh.
- Keep in mind that some people are diabetic so don't put sugar in all of the lemonade. Rather, have two pitchers of lemonade; keep sugar in one, and sugar free in the other. This way, people can add the sugar themselves according to their taste.
