Russia takes over Ukraine's military bases, officers
- Ukraine%27s defense minister and deputy prime minister put off a trip to Crimea
- Russians who want to visit Ukraine will now be required to get a visa
- Many Ukrainians fear that Russia could also now invade eastern Ukraine
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's government said Wednesday it will pull its troops from Crimea, where Russian troops and Crimean allies are seizing military bases and officers.
Masked armed men assumed to be Russian military seized Ukraine's naval headquarters in the city of Sevastopol on the Black Sea in Crimea and took away a Ukrainian admiral.
Ukraine's defense minister and deputy prime minister put off a trip to Crimea in what they said was a bid to avert an escalation in hostilities after the self-appointed prime minister in Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, warned that they "are not welcome," Interfax news agency said.
The hostilities follow a decree by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the former captive of the Soviet Union, Russia's predecessor, is now part of Russia despite warnings from the White House and Europe that Moscow will pay "costs" for a takeover.
U.S. Vice President Biden, in the former Soviet republic of Lithuania, declared that the U.S. was "absolutely committed" to defending its allies.
"Russia cannot escape the fact that the world is changing and rejecting outright their behavior," Biden said, after meeting in Vilnius with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite and Latvian President Andris Berzins.
Biden announced no initiative to get Russia to back away.
Ukrainian soldiers in the province of Crimea had been left in limbo after the Crimeans voted Sunday to join Russia, a referendum that Ukraine and the West said was unconstitutional. They held onto their bases, which were surrounded by Russian troops and mobs of pro-Russian Crimeans.
A confrontation at one base on Tuesday that left one Ukraine servicemember dead prompted an order from Kiev that the Ukrainians could fire their weapons to protect themselves. That did not happen though in Sevastopol.
Interfax, a Russian news agency, said "unknown" troops took over the base and Ukraine's navy commander, Serhiy Hayduk, was arrested and the Russian flag raised over the base.
Russia said Ukraine's government is no longer legitimate because it ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, a Moscow ally, for the shooting of more than 80 protesters in Kiev.
Ukraine said Wednesday it will exit the Russia-dominated Commonwealth of Independent States set up after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country's security chief said Wednesday. Andriy Parubiy, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, said Ukraine would hold military exercises going forward with the United States and Britain.
Russians who want to visit Ukraine will be required to get a visa, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Citizens of the two countries had been able to travel back and forth without visas since 1991, when Ukraine became an independent country.
Many Ukrainians fear that Russia could also now invade eastern Ukraine in response to parliament's installation of a pro-Western government. Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the BBC that Russia would not do so, but some here say he may first blackmail the east by hiking the price of energy exports.
"I think that Russia will fight economically outside Crimea," student Dmitri Alexandrovich said in Kharkiv, a Russian-speaking city in eastern Ukraine. '"Then, once the country is on its knees, 1,000 parts will break away and ask to join Russia."

Former NHL star Joe Murphy homeless and battling mental illness
That night in June 1986 at the old Montreal Forum, Joe Murphy was on top of the world.
The big right winger had just been picked first overall in the NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings.
Now, 32 years later, Murphy's life is very different from his 15 years in the NHL where he earned more than $13 million.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Murphy is now living rough on the streets of Kenora and battling mental illness.
The portrait painted is of a balding man, who uses a bungee cord to keep his pants up and goes around barefoot wearing a black winter coat with a hole in it.
Murphy told the Free Press that everything changed for him when he started getting concussions.
"It's crazy," he said. "But I love my life and this place. I'm in and out at times. I'm feeling a little better."
And then there are the drugs. He admitted to using crystal meth.
But Murphy is nothing if not stubborn and won't seek treatment for the mental illness that plagues his life.
"I've had some depression and I've had some anxiety," Murphy said.
"I think it's a combination of things that have happened to me. Maybe, a brain injury from a concussion, for sure, and from some other things that have happened to me in my life, and I think it's affected me emotionally with anger."
He added: "I've gotten very good. … The anger is a sin, and in the temple, Christ displayed how he got rid of the anger and how you cannot sustain the anger."
Murphy may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) that has become a bitter reality for modern athletes.
CTE is caused by repeated blows to the head and symptoms include depression, memory loss, emotional instability, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts.
It's a long way from that night at the Forum.
"My grandfather came to the draft," he said. "It was just a big deal for me. They watched a lot of games, my grandpa and grandma."
He added: "It brings back memories of things going on, and how fast it goes. … Went to world juniors and got a silver medal. Back to Michigan State and we won the NCAA championship that year, too."
Murphy landed in Kenora after getting in a fight in Sioux Lookout and being charged. His court appearance was in Kenora.
"This is how I got here," Murphy said. "This is the reason I'm here. I was arrested there, got sent to prison here, spent a little time, got out and I didn't know where I was."
But now there may be some hope.
A source told TSN that officials who administer the NHL/NHLPA Emergency Assistance Fund have agreed to pay for a room for Murphy in a local motel.
The room is paid for until the end of October.
Now, winter is coming and Murphy told the Free Press he has to get inside.
"I have to get into a shelter or I'll freeze to death," he said.

"Star Wars" fans received an amazing surprise Thursday.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" dropped a new teaser on Instagram, taking advantage of the picture-sharing platform's new landscape feature, and in the short clip John Boyega's character, Finn, is seen wielding a blue lightsaber against Adam Driver's character, Kylo Ren, who is holding a red lightsaber.
This scene, which has been featured in a previous teaser trailer, has been much discussed–even Stephen Colbert tackled the topic!–because Ren's saber has a new cross-design, or as Colbert described it, "a lightsaber with two mini lightsabers on it. It's a ménage à sabres."
Finn, on the other hand, holds the classic blue single lightsaber we've all come to know and love. This is the first time fans have seen Finn in action, as in all previous looks at the highly anticipated film he has been seen in a Stormtrooper costume. Some fans speculate that Finn's lightsaber could be Luke Skywalker's lost weapon.
U.S. & World
NEWS: Harrison Ford surprises "Star Wars" fans at D23 Expo
"The movie explains the origins of the mask and where it's from, but the design was meant to be a nod to the Vader mask," director J.J. Abrams told Entertainment Weekly of Driver's character. "[Ren] is well aware of what's come before, and that's very much a part of the story of the film."
The director also confirmed rumors that Ren's lightsaber "is something that he built himself, and is as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged as the character."
Abrams also dished another spoiler regarding the villain's origins. "He is a character who came to the name Kylo Ren when he joined a group called the Knights of Ren."
Although we haven't seen an official full-length trailer just yet, one should be just around the corner as "The Force Awakens" hits theaters on Dec. 18.

Facebook announced Monday that it will pay Microsoft $550 million for the majority of patents Microsoft acquired from AOL earlier this month.
From Facebook:
In the initial AOL auction, Microsoft secured the ability to own or assign approximately 925 U.S. patents and patent applications plus a license to AOL's remaining patent portfolio, which contains approximately 300 additional patents that were not for sale. . . . As a result of today's agreement, Facebook will obtain ownership of approximately 650 AOL patents and patent applications, plus a license to the AOL patents and applications that Microsoft will purchase and own.
U.S. & World
Microsoft will keep 275 of the patents outright and also have a license to the 650 now owned by Facebook. All in all, a pretty sweet deal for Microsoft -- which has made more than half of the $1 billion it paid AOL for the patents.
"Today's agreement with Microsoft represents an important acquisition for Facebook," Ted Ullyot, general counsel for Facebook said in a statement. "This is another significant step in our ongoing process of building an intellectual property portfolio to protect Facebook's interests over the long term."
With the purchase, Facebook now has security against lawsuits from tech companies (such as Yahoo) and that's likely worth the $550 million.

While here in the US there is ever greater focus on CNG and LNG-powered vehicles, there is potentially another form of transport that could steal the crown as the King of NGVs…shipping.

Installing LED Lights - Randy's Electrical Corner
Do as I say - or as I do
OK, OK, while I am installing a pair of LED lights in this article, this isn't necessarily about LED lights. Sure, I am putting a pair of Vision X Light Canons in an '06 Wrangler. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that after all these years of harping on you guys about always installing relays when you put new lights in your Jeep, I'm gonna tell you not to. Well, this time I am going to talk about using what's there. Sometimes you just don't have to add more stuff to make things work correctly, and I'm about to show you how I figure out when it is safe to ignore old Randy's harping on relays.
I've been told I'm dumber than a bag of hammers, and I've always taken that as a compliment. Well, Joy just told me, "It isn't a compliment, you dummy!" I don't care what Joy says. Who is going to carry around one hammer in a bag? And, if you've ever used a hammer, you know that the first one you grab is never the right hammer. So as far as I care, a bag of hammers is a smart idea -- that way you are guaranteed to always have the right hammer for the job.
Now I might not be the smartest bulb in the box, but I've been installing stuff this way for years and I've never had a problem with it. Neither have the Jeeps that I've used this idea with. It might not exactly be bottle rocket science, or maybe it is, but not adding extra relays and fuses can actually make your Jeep's electrical system more reliable.

Right from the start, the Mercedes-Benz name was synonymous with excellence. One of the car maker's earliest vehicles, the 1931 Mercedes-Benz 170, distinguished itself as the world's first production car to offer a technology that was nothing short of extraordinary for the day including four-wheel independent suspension.
The 1950s witnessed the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing," a sports car that has been described as being the world's first supercar. With its dramatic styling and race-bred technology, the 300 SL reigns today as a classic coveted by collectors worldwide. The decade also saw Daimler-Benz making strides in the area of safety technology. The company's Mercedes-Benz 220's were the first vehicles to incorporate its patented "crumple zone" body design, created to absorb impact in the event of a crash.
In 1963, the company cemented its reputation as the home of automotive luxury with the launch of the Mercedes-Benz 600. The elegant, luxurious car was also available as a limousine and featured an ahead-of-its-time air suspension system and a V8 engine that boasted 300 horsepower. The decade also saw the launch of the Mercedes-Benz 220/250 6.3. This full-size sedan went from zero to 60 in under seven seconds, distinguishing itself as the quickest luxury car is its day.
The 1970s saw the birth of the brand's storied S-Class line of vehicles, opulent salons and coupes that coddled passengers with powerful engines and a long list of luxury features. The decade also saw Mercedes continuing on the cutting edge of safety technology, by being the first to offer antilock brakes in its vehicles.
Daimler-Benz's safety advancements continued in the 1980s. Its cars were the first to offer airbags and traction control. The manufacturer also raised the bar in terms of ride comfort and handling when it introduced multilink rear suspension. The technology debuted on the compact Mercedes-Benz 190 E, and it remains a vital component of the company's chassis engineering to this day
I have added these pages to Classic Cars Online to allow any Mercedes Benz 220/250 owners or enthusiasts a quick and easy reference and a place to share pictures of Mercedes Benz 220/250 's. Technical specifications are also listed on this page as are Mercedes Benz 220/250 's for sale, Mercedes Benz 220/250 spare parts and Mercedes Benz 220/250 books and memorabilia. This page will be updated and improved on an ongoing basis with more Mercedes Benz 220/250 information.
Remember to Bookmark this page, and call back again to view the latest Mercedes Benz 220/250 adverts on these pages.
If you have a birthday to buy for or to help with a rebuild project, you are looking for books and manuals on this car, have a look at the titles Amazon has available. They stock both new and rare out-of-print titles.

Soldiers from Niger and Mali patrolled downtown Gao on foot Tuesday, combing the sand footpaths through empty market stalls to prevent radical Islamic fighters from returning to this embattled city in northern Mali.
The heavy presence of troops near the waterfront reflects efforts to fortify the Niger River landing point where the militants invaded on Sunday and launched a five-hour-long gun battle.
The once vibrant market of vendors selling everything from fish to livestock was nearly empty. On nearby streets spice sellers were open for business, their wares giving enticing smells, but most shoppers stayed away fearing the center of commerce could be targeted by suicide bombers.
Ali Yattara kept his fabric shop open amid other shuttered businesses on the street.
"The atmosphere is calm and the presence of the troops is reassuring," he said, sitting with about a dozen people in front of his shop as the heavily armed Niger troops walked by.
However another Gao resident, Aboubacrine Almou, said he believes the city is still threatened by the Islamic fighters and that more reinforcements from other countries are needed to defend the beleaguered city.
"At this point, they can't do it alone - they need help," said Almou, carrying a radio as he walked downtown in a flowing gray robe and white turban wrapped around his head. "The French are very welcome and we are still waiting for the Americans."
The French have long said they intend for the Malians and forces from other African nations to quickly take over the military offensive, which France launched one month ago. Although France initially said that Gao would be secured by the Malians, French forces have been patrolling the city and guarding checkpoints since attacks by jihadists began last week.
Sunday's attack and two suicide bombings in which extremists detonated their explosives at military checkpoints show that Gao remains under threat. While neither suicide bombing killed other people, they have raised the alarm that the jihadists could be preparing to stage more devastating assaults on civilian centers in northern Mali.
It was still unclear how many jihadist fighters had penetrated the city in Sunday's attack, though at least 10 were killed by Malian forces, said Malian Lt. Col. Nema Sagadam.
At least 14 suspects had been arrested following searches in the area and would be transferred to the capital of Bamako, said Police Lt. Col. Salihou Maiga on Monday.
At least five of them were being held inside a building that smelled of urine with a tiny barred window. The metal door was secured with two padlocks.
One of the suicide bombers had stayed in a Gao house where Islamic extremists lived when they controlled Gao for nearly 10 months.
French President Francois Hollande said Monday his goal is that "not one space of Mali's territory be under the control of terrorists."
"The essential part of the Malian territory is today liberated, but we haven't finished our task," said Hollande in Paris. "There are still terrorist pockets, notably in the extreme north of Mali, and operations are still being conducted by a certain number of groups."
Hollande's aim will require considerable effort as the Islamic extremists have dispersed into the desert from where it appears they will launch attacks on Gao and other centers in northern Mali.

Fall Dazzles
Viewer Comments
I think the Dazzles are the best idea ever, thanks for your wonderful ideas!!!

It was really nice to be able to see how the different products could be used. I came away with a lot of new ideas, thank you!

Another great webisode--enjoy the new ideas. The coffee & tea dazzles will make great friend cards so glad you included them. Keep up the good work.
Just a tip on the candles. When you light the candle, wait until it has melted to about a 1/2 to a 1/4 inch from the edge, then blow it out and let it cool down. From then on it should only melt to that point and no further. This should work for most candles.
love your webb site

This next video might serve as some evidence that Germans are indeed capable of eliciting laughter from others - simply by being themselves. This news report is on a laughing club (lach club) in Germany, where there is a proscribed time and place for everything. This video is in German. That just makes it funnier.
Speaking of the German Language, Mark Twain's meditation on trying to learn the German tongue is entitled "The Awful German Language".
For my own purposes, I have no intention of really to speak German. I'm just trying to hone my mimicry of any spoken moment of German I come across. Also, my lack of knowledge and comprehension does nothing to prevent me from reciting any German text I find to Angelika. I find this pastime enormously amusing. I believe she does too. Her amusement is manifested in a pretense of eye rolling incomprehension of what she's just heard.
I will say that Angelika, being German and all, is not among the unfunniest of folks. I guess since she is also an American citizen, the balance of her national identities places her in the middle of the spectrum.....She's part of a hybrid group: 1/2 Kraut + 1/2 Yank = Krank

Bruce C. Murison's voice gets thicker as he describes one young mother who came to Mission of Deeds to pick up furniture to help her start a new life.
Bruce C. Murison's voice gets thicker as he describes one young mother who came to Mission of Deeds to pick up furniture to help her start a new life.
As agency workers helped her load a bed for her 11-year-old son, Murison recalls, the woman suddenly started crying. He asked why."He's never had a bed of his own," she said, between tears.
Murison is executive director of Mission of Deeds, the Reading-based agency that provides beds, furniture and other household essentials for people in need from Middlesex and Essex counties -- and he has seen many people like the woman whose story he recounts.
Since its inception in 1993, the nonprofit group has helped more than 7,000 families – many of them struggling mothers leaving shelters with their children, victims of fire or other tragedies, elderly residents without families, mentally ill people building independent lives, and middle-aged men and women who have lost their homes.And the need keeps growing.
From the 27 clients served in 1993 to the 500 or so helped two years ago, the demand has increased to more than 700 families in 2008, Murison says.
That is why the agency has been designated as this year's Gifts of Hope recipient.
The Gifts of Hope program, now in its 17th year, is sponsored by Community Newspaper Company to aid less prosperous families in the community. Community donations received by the newspaper go directly to the charity.
In the case of Mission of Deeds, the money is going to an agency which relies strictly on private donations for its $278,000 annual budget and which receives no funding from state, federal or United Way sources. Some $90,000 of the budget goes for new mattresses and box springs alone.
In addition to cash donations, the agency accepts gifts of furniture, such as tables and chairs, bureaus, coffee and end tables, linens, lamps, pots and pans and other household items.
It also relies heavily on volunteer help. Some 150 people offer services ranging from fund-raising to folding linens to driving the 15-foot box truck used to pick up donated furniture. Thirty to 40 of them volunteer time every week.
Their labors go to help a population which much of the world seems to have forgotten.
"They've spent their life working with bureaucracy -- you can see it in their eyes," office manager Paula Goss says of the clients who come to pick up their furniture at the office. "They don't look up at you. But they come in here and we laugh with them, we treat them with respect… They walk out of here with their head held high. When we walk out of here, boy do we feel good."
Ninety-five percent of the clients pick up their own goods at the agency's Chapin Avenue warehouse. That allows them to pick out the furnishings that they like – and "We don't think it's a bad idea for somebody to take a couple of steps to help themselves (by coming to the warehouse)," says Murison. They are only allowed to come once.
Only clients who have been referred by other agencies receive help, so their need can be confirmed. Referring agencies range from state departments like Children and Families or the Department of Mental Health to churches and temples, housing authorities, the Red Cross and Salvation Army and charities like St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Charities.
"We probably get 100 referrals a month and we service 50 or 60, so there's a constant backlog," adds Murison.
On the agency's wish list is a new warehouse to replace its present crowded, 5,000-sqare-foot headquarters. A new facility of 15,000 square feet with office space and multiple loading doros would allow Mission of Deeds to double or triple the number of clients served, staff members say.
In the meantime, workers at the agency say, they will continue to help provide life's essentials to members of the community who need it most – especially as the holiday season approaches.
"It's a group of caring people coming together, neighbors helping neighbors," says Murison.HOW TO HELP:
To contribute to this year's Gifts of Hope campaign, please make out your check to Mission of Deeds only and send it to: Community Newspaper Company, Attn: Gifts of Hope, P.O. Box 9191, Concord, MA 01742-9191. Donations are tax-deductible.

Project Proposal_Philipp Gengenbach
When I was looking into the work of Bernd & Hilla Becher I came across the quotation of the famous painter Paul Klee: "Art does not reproduce the visible rather it makes visible".
Photography is an art, so it could also be called: "Photography does not reproduce the visible rather it makes visible".
I think this sentence describes the photographs of the Bechers in really good way. But it applies not only to the photographs of the Bechers. Also a lot of other photographs we were looking at in this course are characterized by the documentation of daily things which happen in our life. We are completely used to it and only because of the photographic documentation we begin to think about it and maybe we recognize the specialty of these things.
I was really impressed by this statement of Paul Klee and it was helpful for a better understanding of a lot of photographs we looked at in this course. I started to look at some photographs in another kind of way.
The art of photographing not only the very special things but rather the things whose specialty you could first recognize at second glance is very interesting.My Project Proposal should be to analyze some photographs related to this statement of Paul Klee.
I would like to pick some photographs of the photographers we were talking about but also I will try to take some photos by myself which show daily stories in the human habitat.

WEST BRIDGEWATER – New street signs and crosswalks are bringing new color to town.
In the last several weeks, the Highway Department began implementing new street signs and crosswalks redesigned in the official town colors: maroon and white.
Moving forward, all new street signs will use the new design which features large maroon lettering contrasted against a white reflexive background.
The street sign redesign is part of an on-going town branding initiative. In the fall of 2015, the street signs in the downtown area were all replaced with maroon signs labeled with white letters and the town seal.
In the last two weeks, four street signs in town have already been replaced including on Andrea Way, Willow Street and Bedford Street, according to Highway Superintendent Shawn Anderson.
These streets were selected as the first to model the new West Bridgewater street signs because they were already in need of an upgrade, Selectman Jerry Lawrence said.
"They were signs that had never been replaced to meet the new state requirements," Lawrence said.
The old signs on these streets used a font-size that was smaller than state regulations mandate.
The new signs don't feature the town seal because of an oversight on the town's part, Lawrence said. Moving forward, all new street signs will be replaced with maroon lettering, white background and a town seal.
There are no other immediate plans to install more new signs, officials said.
"We're just phasing the new signs in as needed," Selectman Anthony Kinahan said.
However, even if a neighborhood is not in need of a new sign but would like to see their street sign in maroon and white, they'll soon have the opportunity to raise money among themselves and purchase a new neighborhood street sign.
Several crosswalks in town were also repainted with matching maroon and white paint.
As the Highway Department continues to regularly repaint crosswalks around town, residents will begin to see more maroon and white around town.
"From here on, they're trying to keep all the street signs and crosswalks the same so this is what we'll do," Anderson said.

The scientist who galvanized the international polar bear conservation movement with reports of drowned bears is back in his old job with the Department of the Interior (DOI) after a two-year investigation into charges of data falsification. Arctic wildlife biologist Charles Monnett made waves in the environmental movement when he and fellow DOI employee Jeffrey Gleason published a 2006 paper in the journal Polar Biology. It stated that alarming numbers of polar bears are drowning due to melting sea ice caused by global warming.
Al Gore reported Monnett's research in his 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth. During the film computer animation shows a polar bear struggling to climb onto a small, solitary ice floe that breaks under its weight. Gore bemoans, "A new scientific study shows that for the first time they're finding polar bears that have actually drowned swimming long distances — up to sixty miles — to find the ice." (Incidentally, the U.S. Geological Survey reports these hardy creatures are capable of swimming extremely long distances, some in excess of 200 miles. It says the data suggest "they do not stop to rest during their journey.")
In 2010, an anonymous co-worker charged Monnett with several counts of wrongdoing, including intentional omission or use of false data in his polar bear research. The complainant said Monnett intended to fraudulently influence the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) decision to list the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act. He also accused Monnett of illegally releasing confidential government e-mails to anti-oil activists.
These allegations launched a two-year DOI investigation, during which time Monnett's employing agency, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), suspended him with pay for six weeks and then reassigned him to an analyst position. Last month, DOI published its findings.
We found that Monnett made unauthorized disclosures of Government emails to a non-Government entity. Regarding the falsification of data allegations, we found that Monnett and Gleason used an incomplete database as their primary source of information to write their manuscript, made conflicting statements to investigators regarding the writing and editing of their manuscript, and engaged in questionable extrapolation of data by "deliberately" (using Monnett's word) understating data in the manuscript.
DOI also found the research was used as a reference in FWS's 2008 decision to add polar bears to the list of endangered species. The department reported its evidence to Alaska's U.S. District Attorney as well as to BOEM. The DA declined criminal prosecution, and BOEM's deputy director reprimanded Monnett for "improper release of Government documents." As for scientific integrity, the deputy director had only this to say: "While there were other findings made by the [Office of Inspector General] in its report regarding your conduct, I have decided not to take action regarding those findings." BOEM then reinstated Monnett in his former position. The bureau did not address Gleason's role in the case because he now works for another government agency.
Such a mild wrist-slap in the face of DOI's severe criticism has major media outlets announcing Monnett's exoneration. "Inquiry Finds No Proof That Federal Biologist Falsified Data," reads a New York Times blog. The journal Nature headlined Monnett as "Cleared of Misconduct."
Yet official investigation transcripts show Monnett declared his own research "sloppy." Indeed, he admits how he and Gleason, on a 2004 survey of bowhead whales, observed four drowned polar bears after a harsh Arctic storm, leading to their speculation that the deaths resulted from global warming.
Ironically, recent reports reveal polar bear populations are defying doomsday predictions. In the Hudson Bay area, where numbers were predicted to decline to about 650 by 2011, the population is holding steady at around 1,000 bears. In Davis Strait, estimates have swelled from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 in 2007. World Wildlife Fund spokesman Tom Arnbom admits to two growing populations of polar bears, including one in Norway's Arctic islands. And last year, notwithstanding the polar bear's endangered status, Russia lifted a ban on hunting the species for the first time since 1957 — a ban that came about not because of global warming but due to overhunting.
Canada is the only country in the world that allows commercial trade of polar bear products. The Los Angeles Times reports the bears' endangered status is setting records in pelt prices, to the delight of native hunters. But they are wary of the effect on their economy and culture of ever-encroaching international restrictions. "The Inuit have always hunted the polar bear. It's in our best interest to ensure the population is healthy," Terry Audla, a representative of the indigenous tribes, told the Times. "But people have to have faith in us and work with us — to base things on facts, and not listen to these animal rights activists who are bending the truth."

The NFL is all about building morally upright citizens, which is why they don't cotton to things like fightin', whorin' and gamblin'. But maybe while waiting to watch the big match, you might enjoy their sober new ping pong game.
Tailgating, as you know, is a time for hot dogs and lemonade after you pay $45 to park three miles from your local football stadium. The NFL would prefer that you sit patiently in your cars and listen to the radio while waiting for kickoff, but they understand that you want to loosen up for the long walk to your seat. So why not pass the boredom by throwing ping pong balls at this custom table, emblazoned with the logo of your favorite team? Only $130!
Beer? What beer?
It's a pong table! I suppose you could put cups at the end of the table in some sort of triangular format and maybe throw the balls the into the cups. And if you'd like to put a beverage in the cups to weigh them down, that would be fine too. But who says it has to be beer? Why not water? Or a delicious Coca-Cola Classic™? You could put anything in there really. The important thing is that you're having fun ... and not gambling on it!
By the way, your starting running back is probable with a stiff neck. Probably from all the table pong!
If you came into the stadium and bought 20 cups at $9.50 a piece ... hmmm, maybe you could set up your table on the concourse of the second deck? Or failing that, you could just drink the beer without the aid of a stupid game. You know, like a human?

Incredibly Inspiring
The Nordic region is one of the cleanest on Earth. The water is crystal clear, the air is clean, and there is an abundance of beautiful wild berries, native mushrooms, as well as the sensational sea food and game. Although I might be a little bias this region to me, really means the best food in the world. Yet there are dimensions in Rene's recipes I could not have ever even thought of. His innovativeness is simply astonishing. There is a thought behind every detail of every recipe, and as a whole that is what creates the best of the bunch.
As a Cultural Geographer myself, I am loving the references to 'sense of place' that his food philosophy has. Rene has taken the limitations of this harsh climate and made them work to his advantage. He has sourced the whole of the Nordic region for the best produce, and even included a diary of his voyages. It is yet another personal touch to this impressive book.
Needles to say I absolutely love this book, and I think this book means a lot to me because I have the deepest appreciation for the Nordic region. I have experienced the harsh climate first hand, I have seen how limiting the environment can be, and reading through Rene's experiences it becomes clear how much hard work and perseverance it has taken for him to achieve this position in the world's culinary podium.
I made this golden beets with goat cheese and walnuts dish in NOMA's spirit. I sourced the local produce markets for the ingredients, and I felt like creating something joyful and colourful. This humble dish is of course not to be compared to the masterpieces Rene is creating, but it is my little tribute to NOMA, a way of honouring Rene's food ideology, and supporting the work that he is doing in bringing the Nordic food to the map of the culinary world.
3 medium sized golden beets
60g goat cheese
small handful of walnuts
2 tbsp caramelised balsamic vinegar
2 tsp organic apple cider vinegar
edible flowers, to serve
Cut off the stems of the beets, leaving a few centimetres untouched. Wash the beets and place in a large saucepan. Fill with cold water, bring to boil on a stove top and let simmer for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Let cool, peal off the skins and cut into thin discs.
In a small frying pan, toast the walnuts lightly being careful not to burn them. Place the walnuts on a clean tea towel, and using the tea towel rub the walnuts gently between your hands to remove the skins.
Arrange the beets on a serving plate, scatter over crumbled goat cheese and walnuts. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic and the apple cider and drizzle over the beets. Serve with colourful edible flowers.

Two of today's great comic talents, Jason Segel and Ed Helms, are teaming up for a new film from Jay and Mark Duplass.
"Jeff Who Lives at Home" has Segel and Helms playing to type yet again, but they're so damn good at playing those types it's hard to argue with the casting. Segel is a live-at-home loser pothead, while Helms is his more successful older brother.
Filming starts next month in Louisiana for the film that is being backed in part by Jason Reitman and John Malkovich, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
U.S. & World
The script is from writer-directors Jay and Mark Duplass, who have slowly been building a cult following since thei first feature, 2002's "The New Brad."
The brothers unveiled "Cyrus," starrng John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei in an Oedipal love triangle of sorts at this year's Sundance. The film is showing at Saturday at South-by-Southwest. Click here to see the trailer.

Thirty-eight members of the Wabash Class of 1956 received their 50th reunion medallions from President Andy Ford at Friday night's Big Bash Banquet, attended by more than 400 Wabash men, their spouses, and friends of the College.
Click here for pictures from the big night.
Led by Class Agent Paul Hawksworth, each reunioning member of the Class of 1956 was introduced, strode to the stage, and received a medallion from the president, reminiscent of receiving a graduation hood 50 years ago. Liz Gregor, widow of Wes Gregor, and Mary Kough, widow of Bob Kough, also received medallions at the festive reception and dinner.
The Friday night Big Bash Banquet is the first major all-alumni event of Big Bash Weekend. Alumni from the classes of 1941 through 2006 were on hand to celebrate. It's unclear exactly which alumnus will get the honorary "long distance award," though Dick Sylvester '56 has an early lead over Wally Shaw '56. Shaw came from Scotland to attend his 50th reunion, but Sylvester traveled all the way from Australia to be on hand.
One of the highlights of the Big Bash Banquet was the presentation of the 50th Reunion Gift to President Ford. Campaign chair Bob Ehrich thanked all of the living unit volunteers for their excellent help. He said he originally thought his class of about 98 men might raise a little over $10,000, but was surprised when he heard the goal set for the class was $1.5 million. Ehrich and Hawksworth smiled ear-to-ear when they presented a giant check for $2.51 million to President Andy Ford, who moments earlier had been presented a 50th reunion medallion from Hawksworth. Interestingly, Ford celebrates his 40th reunion from Seton Hall University this year.
The evening came to a rousing conclusion when Alumni Director Tom Runge '71, celebrating his 35th reunion, invited Class Agents from 1941 through 2001 to join him on the stage to lead the crowd in the singing of "Old Wabash."
The Banquet capped a full day of campus tours, a golf outing, and several colloquium sessions, including one led by Tom Kometani. A native of Washington state and member of the Class of 1956, Kometani gave an emotional presentation of how his family, American citizens of Japanese descent, were interred in camps for a year following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Saturday's activities are highlighted by the Fun Run (click for photos), more colloquia sessions, the Third Annual Alumni Chapel Sing competition, and individual reunion receptions and dinners.

JoWooD Entertainment and Dreamcatcher pit the greatest fictional detective of all time against one of the most notorious real-life serial killers in Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper, coming in March to the North American Xbox 360.
Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper is the fifth in a series of Holmes adventure titles developed by Frogwares, already released for the PC in North America and Europe. Europe currently has the exclusive on the Xbox 360 version, but that ends in March, when JoWood subsidiary Dreamcatcher brings the struggle between master detective and merciless killer Xbox 360 owners on this side of the pond.
Players will explore the Whitechapel area of London in 1888, searching for clues to the identity of the notorious murder with the help of his faithful sidekick, Watson. It already has a more compelling plot than the recently released Robert Downey Jr vehicle, so if you felt the movie pissed on Arthur Conan Doyle's grave as much as I did, then perhaps the game will be just the thing to make it all better. Look for it in March for the Xbox 360, or pick it up today for the PC.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Protocol Id: 10
This protocol is intended for immunoprecipitation of native proteins for analysis by western immunoblot or kinase activity utilizing Protein A magnetic separation.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
10X Cell Lysis Buffer: (#9803) To prepare 10 ml of 1X cell lysis buffer, add 1 ml cell lysis buffer to 9 ml dH2O, mix.
NOTE: Add 1 mM PMSF (#8553) immediately prior to use.
A cell lysate pre-clearing step is highly recommended to reduce non-specific protein binding to the Protein A Magnetic beads. Pre-clear enough lysate for test samples and isotype controls.
IMPORTANT: Pre-wash #73778 magnetic beads just prior to use:
Carefully remove the buffer once the solution is clear. Add 500 μl of 1X cell lysis buffer to the magnetic bead pellet, briefly vortex to wash the beads. Place tube back in magnetic separation rack. Remove buffer once solution is clear. Repeat washing step once more.
IMPORTANT: The optimal lysate concentration will depend on the expression level of the protein of interest. A starting concentration between 250 μg/ml-1.0 mg/ml is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Appropriate isotype controls are highly recommended in order to show specific binding in your primary antibody immunoprecipitation. Use Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 for rabbit polyclonal primary antibodies, Rabbit (DA1E) mAb IgG XP® Isotype Control #3900 for rabbit monoclonal primary antibodies, and Mouse (G3A1) mAb IgG1 Isotype Control #5415 for mouse monoclonal primary antibodies. Isotype controls should be concentration matched and run alongside the primary antibody samples
Proceed to one of the following specific set of steps.
NOTE: To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG heavy chains (~50 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Light-Chain Specific) (D4W3E) mAb (#45262) or Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127). To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG light chains (~25 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127).

Protocol Id: 410
La Antigen (D19B3) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total La Antigen protein.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu97 of human La Antigen protein.
La antigen is recognized by antibodies in patients with autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome (1). La antigen binds to the 5'-noncoding region of poliovirus RNA and is an IRES trans-acting factor (1,2). Depletion of La antigen reduces the function of poliovirus IRES in vivo (3). La antigen, when phosphorylated at Ser366, has been shown to associate with nuclear precursor tRNAs and facilitate their processing (4). The nonphosphorylated La antigen interacts with the mRNAs that have 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine (5'TOP) motifs to control protein synthesis (4).

One of the more interesting twists in the language, and one loaded with humorous possibilities, is the oxymoron.
One of the more interesting twists in the language, and one loaded with humorous possibilities, is the oxymoron.
The term comes from an old Greek word that meant "pointedly foolish." You can easily see the association with the same root word from which the word "moron" derived. Have you ever done something foolish and felt like a moron, or someone who is a sandwich or two shy of a picnic?
But the "oxy" part of oxymoron means sharp or keen, making this word for contradiction in itself a contradiction.
My dictionary defines today's oxymoron as a "combination of contradictory or incongruous words."
An example could be "cruel kindness." Or some, mostly Democrats, might say that "compassionate conservatism" is an oxymoron. I have heard "postal service" and "intellectual coach" referred to as oxymorons. Jokingly, of course.
If you stop to think about it, two of our more common oxymorons are "terribly nice" and "awfully good." Never use "awfully good" when praising someone's cooking, and never use "terribly nice" to describe a kiss.
My old tennis buddy John Morris handed me some oxymorons to add to the list the other day.
One of my all-time favorite oxymorons is "airline food." If you have ever had lunch in the sky, you will appreciate that one.
How about "government worker" and "legislative harmony"?
Consider "legally drunk" as an oxymoron.
Here are some other oxymorons to ponder that may provide a chuckle or two:
Exact estimate.
Act naturally.
Found missing.
Resident alien.
Genuine imitation.
Good grief!
Government organization.
Alone together.
Small crowd.
Business ethics.
Butt head.
"Now, then…"
Passive resistance.
Clearly misunderstood.
Peace forces.
Extinct life.
Computer security.
A definite maybe.
Political science.
Religious intolerance.
Working vacation.
Tight slacks.
Pretty ugly.
Rap music.
And, to conclude, how about this one: "Hardworking columnist?"

No doubt there are hundreds of Colton Dixons out there. Talented, can carry a tune, can write music, and they are ambitious, energetic, youthful. But only a few get to hit the American Idol stage, and less take advantage of it.
Dixon was one of the lucky ones. Despite his not-so-often-heard-on-mainstream-radio-stations musical genre, Dixon's is Christian rock, maybe in his case the best kept secret of Idol is how it first gives aspiring musicians a platform and then, even in those less popular genres, they can jump off and quietly become a success.
So it seems to be happening that way for Dixon.
From Murfreesboro, Tenn., he tried out in Season 10 and didn't make the Top 24 with sister Schyler. She came back for a Season 12 tryout and he just went along for the ride to accompany her. She received a Golden ticket to advance to Hollywood and the judges talked him into trying again. He sang David Cook's song "Permanent" and they handed him a Golden ticket as well.
The good news for Colton was that he advanced and went on to finish seventh last season. The bad news was that Schyler was eliminated from the competition during the Las Vegas round.
Being ousted from the show didn't deter Colton or even slow him down for that matter. He has merely taken advantage of the exposure he received from AI and he ran with it … halfway around the world for starters.
He recently performed in the Philippines with former Chula Vista resident and last year's runnerup Jessica Sanchez, who now resides in Los Angeles. And that was after traveling to the same venue with the Top 10 finishers at the end of the annual American Idol Summer Tour last September.
And while he was doing all that, he just happened to mix in quite a few recording sessions in L.A. and Nashville, Tenn., for his just released album "A Messenger." That album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Music charts and No. 15 on its Top 200 chart.
"I am so excited about all that has happened with the record," Colton said in a recent phone interview while on his way to Riverside for a radio gig. "I hope that all of my fans appreciate the record." He wrote 11 of the 12 songs on it.
"It was really weird recently when we were driving somewhere and on the radio they played my song 'You Are." I had to change the station it was so weird to hear that," he said. Of course, what isn't weird is the acclaim that song has received among Christian Rock listeners – No. 1 when it was first released last October on the ITunes Christian & Gospel singles chart, No. 5 currently and it was selected as USA Today's Song of the Week when it was released last fall.
"I do enjoy the recording part of all of this," he said, "but it makes for long days … easily 9 hours in the studio. I like the creative part of all the musicians."
Right now, at least, there is no slowing down the 21-year old. Thursday night he will be in Fairfax, Va. as the opening act on a 45-city tour (right now it gets no farther west than Cheyenne, Wyo.) with the Christian group Third Day.
He hasn't even had time to watch this season's version of American Idol.
"I'l probably watch sometime," he admitted. And the new judges? "I really like Keith Urban," Colton said. "But Nicki scares me a little bit," he added laughing. "I'm just glad I had the judges that we did although I have to day I would have liked to have had Simon (Cowell) on the panel. I would have liked to have heard his critique of my performances."

I looked for a similar topic and couldn't find it. But if it needs moved, mods know best!
Ok, a better title might have been: Books that should never have been printed, Books that should never have been series and Author's who should have quit while they were ahead, but I didn't have enough room.
Post your list of bad books here! The ones you were forced to read in a class and still twitch over. Books that someone recommended, and were just horrible (and then you had to tell your friend why you hated it.) Series that started out good, then got really, really bad. Authors who started out with a good first or second book, and then seemed to forget how to write.
Post 'em here! Have at it! It's cathartic, you'll feel better!
That said, I'll start with a couple of my own.
The Catcher in the Rye was just horrible. Good concept, bad writing. The same with 1984. Great concept, badly written. And he did so well with Animal Farm!
The Left Behind series started out so well...and just fizzled. By the last book I was nearly crying out of boredom. (Yes, I stuck with it. I thought for sure that it would get better.)
Mercedes Lackey can stop at any time now. So can David Eddings.
Ok, eveyone, have fun!!

San Diego, California – March 19th, 2015 – Rick Loos, President and Founder of Proper Pillow Plus, has announced the launch of an IndieGoGo campaign to help fund production of the innovative sleeping solution. The pillow is the worlds first intelligent pillow that quantifies a user's sleep pattern, while ensuring the person gets proper neck and back alignment. This campaign goal is to raise $375,000 by April 18th, 2015.
Sleep is crucial to someone's overall wellbeing. People spend a 1/3 of their lives sleeping, which effects the 2/3 of the time spent awake. This orthopedic pillow is specially designed to access a person's sleeping patterns. An advanced monitoring technology is embedded in the pillow itself. The sensor network of pressure receptors, audio, and thermal sensors collects data as the person sleeps. Then using a low energy Bluetooth, the information is sent to the Proper Pillow Plus app that can be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet.
The individual can use this information to adjust sleeping patterns to achieve quality sleep throughout the night. The app will give information on how long the person slept in each position, the ambient room temperature, breathing patterns, and times when the sleep cycle was interrupted. People no longer have to wake up feeling tired or lethargic. However, if someone does wake up that way, they have a trusted pillow that can explain why.
With optimal sleep, people are able to think better, have higher energy levels, be more productive, and live a healthier life. Sometimes the position a person sleeps in could cause them to toss and turn, snore, or have difficulty breathing. All this contributes to a "bad nights sleep." The revolutionary tool can monitor this and give users restful sleep.
Now Proper Pillow Plus needs help to manufacture and distribute the pillow so everyone around the world can get better rest. To order one and make a contribution, please visit the IndieGoGo campaign or click here. Backers can choose from many attractive rewards as a "thank you" for the support.
A donation of any amount matters! For those who cannot give, but wish to show support, please share this on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks.

Bearing arrangements
Locating/non-locating bearing arrangements
Conventional locating/non-locating bearing arrangements (fig. 1) are designed to accommodate thermal elongation of the shaft. In these arrangements, the non-locating bearing must be able to move axially on its seat in the housing.
SKF housings can accommodate bearings in both the locating and non-locating positions. Most standard housings have a bearing seat that is sufficiently wide to enable axial displacement of the non-locating bearing (fig. 2, "s"). When these housings are used in the locating position, locating (stabilizing) ring(s) should be used to secure the bearing axially in the housing (fig. 3).
Some SKF housing series are available with a wide bearing seat for axial displacement, designation suffix L, and a bearing seat that matches the width of the bearing to locate it axially, designation suffix F (fig. 4).
The SKF self-aligning bearing system
To accommodate misalignment and shaft deflections, conventional self-aligning bearing arrangements use spherical roller or self-aligning ball bearings in both the locating and non-locating bearing positions (fig. 1). To accommodate thermal elongation of the shaft in these arrangements, the non-locating bearing must be able to move axially on its seat in the housing. Any wear or damage to the housing seat results in a "stick-slip" condition that induces axial loads, friction, and heat into the bearing arrangement.
A better solution is to use a CARB toroidal roller bearing in the non-locating position (fig. 1). CARB bearings accommodate misalignment and shaft deflections. They also accommodate thermal elongation of the shaft within the bearing, with virtually no friction, to avoid induced axial loads.
Because CARB bearings do not accommodate axial loads, these bearings must always be secured axially in the housing, with either locating (stabilizing) rings or by using a housing variant with an F (or RA for some housings) in its designation suffix.
Compared to conventional self-aligning bearing arrangements, replacing the non-locating bearing with a CARB bearing increases the load carrying capacity of the bearing arrangement, enabling a more compact, and therefore lighter, bearing arrangement to be used. By virtually eliminating induced axial loads, vibration levels and temperatures are reduced and less grease is consumed, resulting in less maintenance. The solution contributes to improved reliability and extended bearing service life.
Typical shaft-bearing combinations
Bearings in SKF housings can be mounted either directly on a shaft or on a sleeve on the shaft. There are four typical combinations (table 1):
- plain shaft with bearing on an adapter sleeve
- stepped shaft with bearing on an adapter sleeve
- stepped shaft with bearing on a withdrawal sleeve
- stepped shaft with bearing on a cylindrical seat
