VATICAN CITY — For the first time, Pope Benedict XVI will hold his weekly general audience in the main public square of Castel Gandolfo.
The Vatican originally scheduled the pope's Sept. 1 audience for St. Peter's Square. The pope was supposed to helicopter back to the Vatican tomorrow morning, hold the audience in St. Peter's Square, then head back to the summer villa at Castel Gandolfo, in the hills about 15 miles south of Rome.
But this morning, the Prefecture of the Papal Household announced that tomorrow's audience will be in the main square outside the papal villa. The faithful can fill the square and the main street leading to it. And the pope will be seated in front of the main doors of the villa, the prefecture said.
If the pilgrims aren't with a group that has a bus, they will have to catch an early morning train from Rome. Also, it might be more difficult to see the pope, but the entrance to the villa is sloped, so he will be a bit higher than the people in the square.
Generally, the pope's audiences are suspended completely in late July to allow him time for a real vacation. Then in August and September, when he's in residence at Castel Gandolfo, the decision to hold the audience in the villa's courtyard or at the Vatican usually depends on how many people request tickets. The courtyard is small.
Apparently, there were more requests this week than using the courtyard could satisfy, but not enough to force the pope to come back to the Vatican for the morning.
Visitors who arrived at the Vatican today to pick up their free tickets for tomorrow's audience were advised in extra-large print. The video screens in the square, which usually are used to broadcast papal events, advised pilgrims that plans had changed.

Junior Jaterra Bonds (Gainesville, Fla.) scored a game-high 19 points, senior Jennifer George (Fresno, Calif.) collected her 26th career double-double and Florida defeated LSU, 77-72, to earn its first Southeastern Conference victory in a thriller manner on Sunday afternoon in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
With LSU (10-5, 1-1 SEC) leading by nine points, 58-49, with 11:46 remaining, the Gators (12-4, 1-1 SEC) scored 11 consecutive points in a two-minute span and took a two-point lead with 9:08 left in the game.
Freshman Sydney Moss (Union, Ky.) put back an offensive rebound to start the march, before redshirt-sophomore Kayla Lewis (Decatur, Ga.) nailed just her fifth three-pointer of the season. Freshman January Miller (Orlando, Fla.) came up with a steal and dished to Bonds, who made the layup and tied the game at 58-all. Moss then secured a defensive rebound and found a Lewis down court and she made the layin to give Florida its first lead since the 10:16 mark of the first half.
The Lady Tigers, who committed two of their 15 turnovers during Florida's run, halted the spree with a layup by Shanece McKinney that produced the fourth tied score of the game.
Theresa Plaisance tacked on two more for LSU inside and swung the lead back in the visitor's favor, as there were three lead changes and four tied scores in the final 9:31 of the contest.
George then converted both ends of a one-and-one from the free throw line with 6:09 remaining, bringing the Gators within one, 62-61.
George blocked Adrienne Webb's shot and collected a defense rebound with 5:06 remaining, but injured her shoulder on the play and would not return to the court after having a strong performance of 15 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals, including her seventh double-double of the season .
Junior Vicky McIntyre (Omaha, Neb.) stepped in for George at the line and made both ends of her one-and-one trip that gave Florida a 64-62 lead.
LSU came right back with an inside bucket from Danielle Ballard, but Moss calmly nailed two free throws with 3:53 on the clock and Florida would not trail again, as Lewis scored the next four points of the game and gave the Gators a 70-64 advantage with 2:51 remaining.
LSU closed within three points three times in the last 51 seconds, but Bonds answered with a driving, athletic bucket the first time with 29 seconds remaining. McKinney came back with a score and the Tigers forced a turnover with 20 seconds remaining and had the ball with a chance to tie, but 5-foot-6 redshirt-freshman Carlie Needles (Highlands Ranch, Col.) came up with the first blocked shot of her career, swatting Adrienne Webb's three-point attempt, then collected the miss and was fouled. She then converted two free throws that gave Florida a 75-70 lead with 12 seconds left.
Webb did hit a shot from inside the arc with four ticks and LSU fouled Bonds, who drilled two more from the line and ended the game's scoring, helping Florida capture its 15th consecutive home victory, as well as present head coach Amanda Butler with the 150th win of her eight-year overall tenure.
"I think we beat a very good team tonight, that's the first thing I'd like to make really clear," Butler said. "I think LSU has a great squad and is a postseason team and it was important for us to get them here and take care of our business on our home court. "
Bonds also dished a game-high five assists with three steals for the Gators, while Lewis added 10 points and six rebounds.
"A lot of things that I'm proud of, I was just telling these guys (Carlie, JT, and Kayla) is that they were our core tonight, they did a great job of sustaining this through a lot of different ups and downs and that's important," Butler said. "And what I think it's great about our team is that core can change. A lot of people can step in and do different things at different times. You had Mac (Vicky McIntyre) and (Christin) Mercer rotating offensively and defensively–they did a great job of handling that. Again, a great team win against a very good team in front of a fantastic crowd as well."
Plaisance scored 17points to lead four LSU players in double-figure scoring.
George set the tempo in the first half as she scored the first seven points of the ball game on a pair of hook shots and a reverse layup that resulted in a three-point play.
Redshirt junior Lily Svete (Granger, Ind.) fed off of George's momentum and drained her first three of day and put the Gators up 10-4 over the Tigers heading into the first media timeout.
Mercer scored off an inbounds play which led to a made free throw and a 13-6 favor for the Gators. LSU's Ballard answered with a layup, but with a missed shot by Moss and a strong put-back by George the Gators were rolling on offense and looked as though they couldn't be stopped.
The Tigers trickled along, capitalizing off Gator turnovers to allow jumpers from Ballard, Webb and a three-pointer from Kenney to pull LSU within two at the 12:41 mark.
Moss hit a jumper to make a 19-15 advantage for the Gators, but LSU's Lutley answered with a basket from beyond the arc to diminish the Gator lead to one, 19-18 at the 11:40 mark. Lutley was then able to tie the game for the first time all day at 20 a pieced by hitting two free throws.
The Tigers seemed to have taken the Gators spark nearing the nine minute mark of the first half when they took the lead off a Theresa Plaisance three at the top of the key to make it a 25-22 contest. The Gators were 0-for-3 before LSU's Plaisance knocked down another trey to force a Florida timeout.
Bonds connected from the charity stripe on back-to-back occasions to pull the Gators within three of the Tigers, 29-26, before Moss sank a three that put some life back into the Florida offense.
Things started to really heat up around the five-minute mark with fast-paced transition and intense play. LSU's Webb hit a jumper in the lane which led to nicely executed Svete three-pointer from the corner. Webb answered right back with a three of her own before LSU went on 5-0 run to extend their advantage to 41-34 at the 2:30 mark.
Both teams missed opportunities for points on several trips down the court which was the result of scrappy play and defensive rebounding. Needles mustered a charge against the purple and yellow which led to a George layup and brought the Gators back within five of the Tigers, 36-41.
LSU's Plaisance hit a short-corner shot with three-seconds remaining in the half to allow the Tigers to take a 44-36 lead into halftime.
The Gators return to action on Thurs., January 10,when the team travels to Starkville to take on Mississippi State beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It took a career-high 31 points from senior Kevin Murphy, a near perfect night from junior Jud Dillard and the entire 40 minutes of play Sunday evening for Tennessee Tech to finally subdue a relentless Wilberforce University squad that came to Eblen Center with an upset in mind.
The Bulldogs, hailing from a tiny NAIA school near Dayton, Ohio, was within two points in the final minute, before the Golden Eagles managed an 84-83 non-conference victory.
A fade-away 3-pointer at the buzzer by Chris Olafioye made it a one-point finish after Tech had scavenged a four-point lead with 13 seconds to play.
Senior Darius Foster had the hot hand for Wilberforce, going 6-for-10 from long range and 7-for-8 at the free throw line to net 31 points and held keep his team in the thick of the challenge.
Olafioye scored 16 points and had four assists and Terrance Morgan added 11, going 3-for-3 from long range. The Bulldogs (3-6) also got eight points and four assists from Ronald Hightower, eight from Tremayne Scott and seven from Patrick Perdue on a night when Wilberforce shot 50 percent (25-for-50) from the field and 55.6 percent (10-for-18) from long range.
Murphy led Tech with 31 points, going 8-for-9 at the free throw line, and added six rebounds and three assists. Dillard narrowly missed a double-double, finishing with 23 points and nine rebounds while hitting 10-for-11 from the field.
Bassey Inameti also reached double figures with 11 points. Point guard Zac Swansey dished out nine assists and tied his career-high with six steals. Tech shot 51.6 percent (32-for-62) from the field including 71.7 percent (29-for-41) from inside the arc. Tech hit 14.3 percent (3-for-21) from long range.
Wilberforce led by as many as 11 points in the first half, racing out to an 11-0 lead. The Bulldogs and Foster hit most of their shots in the opening 15 minutes and allowed Tech just a one-point lead on three occasions.
Finally, with 6:22 to go before intermission, Kevin Murphy hit a 3-pointer that pushed Tech on top, 31-28, and the Golden Eagles used that to kick-start their offense. Tech went on a 10-3 run, capped by Zac Swansey's first points of the night to make it 41-31 with 4:01 remaining. The Golden Eagles led by nine at halftime, 49-40.
Tech maintained the lead throughout the second period, but could never shake loose from the Bulldogs. The Golden Eagles were still on top by double-digits, 78-67, when Wilberforce put together a last-ditch charge that nearly earned the upset.
Foster hit back-to-back shots to ignite an 11-2 run by the Bulldogs that pulled them to within two, 80-78, with 2:30 to play. Murphy hit a jumper and Foster followed with two free throws, and it was back to two points, 82-80, with 40 seconds remaining.
Murphy drew a foul with 13 seconds and canned both free throws to make it 84-80. Tech forced a missed 3-pointer with seven seconds left, but Zach Bailey slipped and fell, and was called for traveling, giving the ball back to Wilberforce with 2.3 seconds.
Olafioyle fired up a fadeaway 3-pointer that scorched the net as the buzzer sounded.
Tech (3-3) has six days to prepare for its next encounter. The Golden Eagles play at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Saturday at 6 p.m. CT.

With the first shark tournament of the season coming up this weekend, held from the Star Island Yacht Club in Montauk, a tale told by a visiting surfer and all-around waterman gets to the heart of the gut-level feelings stirred by the natural, and unnatural, hunting instincts of the big ocean predators.
"Sava began to whine," Billy Hamilton said of his 10-year-old yellow Lab. The dog was in her familiar spot, standing near the nose of Hamilton's surfboard waiting for the next set of waves.
Hamilton lives on the north shore of Kauai, and he and Sava were enjoying a go-out at Hanalei Bay in 2003. The surfing and surfboard-shaping legend and his best friend had it wired. "I watch her now as much as I watch the wave," he said during a fishing trip aboard the Mishell II charter boat on Friday.
"She leans," he said, getting down on all fours on Mishell's deck to show how Sava has learned how to anticipate his cutback, a signature drop-knee turn recognized by surfers around the world.
But this day, the surfing dog kept whining. "I paddled in. Later that day, I met a girl at the post office who drew me a picture of the dorsal fin with a ragged trailing edge. Very distinctive. The shark had showed up a few minutes after I went in. The girl said it kept blocking her way back to shore. I said this shark is dangerous." Whatever sense or combination of senses made Sava whine a warning, Hamilton said he now heeds it without question. "Whenever she whines, I go in."
A week earlier, a large tiger shark had taken Bethany Hamilton's arm near her shoulder. The young woman was surfing at a spot near Hanalei Bay on Oct. 13, 2003. She was just 13.
Billy Hamilton explained that tiger sharks return to their natal waters to breed around the islands in October. Earlier in the year, they are farther north feeding on seabirds, then move to the south munching on monk seal pups, and finally around breeding time come close to the islands and target sea turtles. He said that occasionally, transient tigers drop by and exhibit strange behavior, which was the case with this one.
It haunted surfing spots, even wriggling over the reef like a lizard to get to deep water closer to land. Billy Hamilton said he was the last person to visit Bethany Hamilton (no relation) before she left the hospital. "I met her father there. Tom Hamilton looked at me, angry, and said, 'If you could catch that shark. . .' "
"Laird called me and said, 'Dad, you've got to get that shark,' " he said, referring to Laird Hamilton, his stepson and a legendary big wave surfer. Eventually he and a friend did so by making a bait out of a whole gray nurse shark with two very large hooks embedded, the shark tethered by a chain to a float buoy. The fact that the bait was left to fish in the middle of Hanalei Bay did not make everyone comfortable.
After the fish was caught and dispatched with the help of a 44-magnum bang stick, Hamilton towed it offshore and cut it open looking for Bethany's watch or perhaps bone. Nothing was found, but it had been three weeks since the attack. The jaws were cut out and brought to the beach so they could be matched up to the serrated half-moon-shaped bite that had been taken out of Bethany's surfboard along with her arm.
"Bethany watched as we fit the jaws to the bite in the board, a very brave girl." The teeth matched the bite marks exactly, including a spot on the board that bore no marks exactly where the young surfer's arm had been.
Surfers were generally happy about what Billy Hamilton had done. "The surfing family liked it. Some of the Hawaiians who think of sharks as their amakua, their reincarnated ancestors, did not." And, it took the intercession of a friend to prevent him from getting beat up, he said. "Another Hawaiian man wanted the tiger's skin to make a drum head," Hamilton added. He said the man died mysteriously while in the shower the next day.
Hamilton said he had rounded up troublesome sharks before, but only ones whose behavior had become dangerous.
Meanwhile, Bethany Hamilton continues to surf, and surf well with one arm. "Soul Surfer," a movie about her heroic story, was released earlier this spring.
Billy Hamilton caught two keeper fluke and a keeper striped bass during Friday's outing. He will be around for the next few weeks taking orders for custom shaped boards. They can be ordered via firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling Hamilton directly at 808-639-3493.
The captains meeting for the Star Island Yacht Club tournament will take place this evening at the Yacht Club. Fishing will take place tomorrow and Saturday.
In other fishing news, larger striped bass are moving from west to east as proved by John Bruno, who used eels to catch 40.68-pound and 38-pound striped bass over the weekend. The bigger fish now lies in second place behind Bill Gardiner's 42.26-pounder. A 39.56-pound striper caught by Wes O'Donnell was in third place as of Monday in the Montauk SurfMasters' spring fling surfcasting tournament.
Paul Apostolides of Paulie's Tackle shop in Montauk also reported bluefish blitzing right under the Montauk Lighthouse, and striped bass in the low-teen keeper size (over 28 inches) along the beach on Napeague and at Ditch Plain, Montauk, in the morning.

I apologize in advance, i'm about to make some horribly vague descriptions.
Alright so there was this Library I used a good year or two ago, it was basically a Map building library. It had many building tools similar to Icon Ultima, such as square/circle selection or a fill tool. I -think- it was a library to build/save/load maps.
To build it had a hud of icons in the lower right corner if I remember correctly, it was just a big jumble of icons. Once you click on a certain region it would zoom in somewhere, and a complete set of Icons would appear. From here you just click which icon you want, and with the building tools you built your map.
It used the standard RPG maker icons, but it had quality level icons that you could make amazing maps out of.
So basically I am trying to figure out what library this was, and if it's still around. I can't find it :(

No. 84,510
1. The Kansas Board of Tax Appeals specializes in deciding taxation issues and courts generally give its decisions deference on such issues unless its interpretation is erroneous as a matter of law.
2. When reviewing an agency's action, an appellate court's scope of review is limited to determining whether the district court reviewed the action in accordance with the Act for Judicial Review and Civil Enforcement of Agency Actions, K.S.A. 77-601 et seq.
3. K.S.A. 77-621(c) allows a court to grant relief from an agency action under certain circumstances, including when the agency erroneously interpreted or applied the law, when the agency's decision is not supported by substantial competent evidence in the record, or when the agency's action is unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious. The party who asserts that the agency's decision is invalid bears the burden of proving the invalidity.
4. The terms "real property," "real estate," and "land" shall include not only the land itself, but all buildings, fixtures, improvements, and rights and privileges appertaining thereto. K.S.A. 79-102.
5. In Kansas, the test for determining whether personal property becomes a fixture is: (1) annexation to the realty; (2) adaptation to the use of that part of the realty to which it is attached; and (3) the intention of the party making the annexation.
6. There are practical difficulties in formulating a comprehensive principle for determining which personal property qualifies as fixtures. The determination can only be made from a consideration of all of the individual facts and circumstances attending the particular case.
7. Remaining property at a closed oil refinery meets the three-part Kansas test to qualify as fixtures to be valued and taxed as part of the realty when it (a) remains annexed to the land on the valuation date, (b) is so enormous and so securely attached to the land that it cannot be removed without significant labor and expense, (c) was designed specifically for the land to which it is attached, and (d) was originally intended to become a permanent part of the real estate.
Appeal from Cowley District Court; JAMES T. PRINGLE, judge. Opinion filed December 15, 2000. Affirmed.
Benjamin J. Neill, of Neill, Terrill & Embree, Inc., of Overland Park, for appellant.
Richard D. Greene, of Morris, Laing, Evans, Brock & Kennedy, Chartered, of Wichita, for appellee Total Petroleum, Inc.
Before BEIER, P.J., ELLIOTT, J., and JANICE D. RUSSELL, District Judge, assigned.
BEIER, J.: Cowley County (County) appeals the district court's ruling affirming the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals' decision that a closed oil refinery is realty rather than personal property. We affirm.
Appellee-taxpayer Total Petroleum, Inc., (Total) shut down its oil refinery in Arkansas City and removed certain key components necessary to run it. Total did not intend to reopen the refinery, although it continued to run a small asphalt storage operation on the premises.
While the refinery was still operating, the County appraised it, using a guide prepared by the Property Valuation Division (PVD) of the Kansas Department of Revenue. The guide allocated 90 percent of the calculated value of the refinery to real estate, approximately $19.1 million, and 10 percent to personal property, approximately $2 million.
After the refinery closed, the County's appraiser testified that use of the PVD guide for valuation was no longer appropriate. Appellant categorized the remaining refinery property other than the land itself as personal property and valued it at $12.6 million, based on a third-party's purchase offer, which was ultimately rescinded. Two parcels of land underlying the property were separately appraised as real property at $422,890 and $1,026,860.
Total appealed this valuation to the Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA), arguing that the County had improperly divided the refinery assets into personalty and realty and that the property had a negative value because of environmental remediation costs.
At the BOTA hearing, the County presented expert testimony that the value of the remaining property was $9,944,640. However, on cross-examination, the County's expert admitted he arrived at the figure by using the amount of the rescinded offer to purchase. He also admitted he was not a licensed appraiser and had no experience in valuing oil refineries.
Total presented the testimony of three witnesses who addressed the salvage value of the remaining property. Total's corporate property tax manager testified that the net book value of the fixed assets at the refinery location was $1,596,699. The national director of the complex property tax group for Ernst & Young, LLP, opined the value of the property was $3,260,000, based on data obtained concerning the sale of a comparable refinery one year earlier. Total's operations manager, Harold Green, testified that he believed the remaining refinery property would be worth $2.5 million to $3 million if cut down and sold for scrap.
Green also testified regarding the physical characteristics of the improvements, including how the tanks and operating units were originally constructed, attached, and interconnected. Green explained that the tanks were constructed using sheet metal, which was welded to the ground, and that their side walls were put up one sheet at a time until each was 3 inches thick. Green also testified that the tanks were not portable, were never moved, and would have to be cut down a piece at a time to be hauled away.
Green also testified about the construction of the towers at the refinery:
"The towers, they usually railed them in because they were too long to come in by truck. One that comes to mind was about 120 feet tall, weighed 175,000 pounds. That's empty weight without the trays. It has got the trays in it about every 18 inches. They go down about 20 feet and start pouring a big base of foundation with rebar and then come up to pedestals. The pedestals has got usually an inch and a half anchor bolts. You take -- after you get the tower set, leveled, it's grouted in, usually an epoxy grout which is real hard to remove. It's supposed to withstand a windload of a hundred mile an hour."
Green also said that, when certain components were removed earlier, it had taken two crews 4 weeks to obtain two items, a reactor and a heater.
An environmental engineer for Total's successor company also testified. He said the amount of the reserve the company maintained to cover the cost of cleaning up environmental contamination at the refinery was more than $21.7 million over a 10-year period. The remediation would include, among other things, asbestos removal, cleaning, and disposal of hazardous sludge.
The County did not take issue with any of Green's testimony about the size and weight of the property or about the difficulty of removing it from the land. It merely emphasized that the property could be removed.
BOTA made the following findings in concluding that the appraised value of the subject property for the tax year at issue was $0:
"First, the Board finds that the County erroneously reclassified the fixtures of the refinery to personal property. Nearly all improvements to real property may be salvaged to a certain extent. A house may be uninhabitable, but still have salvage value in the wood and fixtures. Merely because a fixture is no longer useable for its intended purpose, but may have some salvage value, does not warrant classifying the fixture as personal property. Second, the Board finds that the County failed to make any attempt to value the subject property according to accepted appraisal standard. The County did attempt to support its recommended value, after the fact, through the testimony of Ronald Cook. However, Mr. Cook did not apply any recognized appraisal method in his review of the subject property, but also used the 'offer' as the basis for arriving at his value. Essentially, Mr. Cook arrived at a salvage value of $9,460,632. It is further noted that Mr. Cook is not a licensed appraiser and has no experience in valuing oil refineries as his area of expertise is limited to the valuation of oil and gas leases. The Board finds that Mr. Cook's estimate of salvage value is still far less than the cost to cure the environmental problems associated with the land and the fixtures."
The County appealed BOTA's decision to the district court. The district judge affirmed, finding BOTA's decision that the property constituted fixtures, i.e., part of the realty, was supported by substantial evidence and was not unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious. The court also concluded it was proper for BOTA to offset any positive salvage value of the fixtures by any negative value of the land itself, including the environmental liability associated with the land and the cost of remediation. See K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 79-412 ("It shall be the duty of the county or district appraiser to value the land and improvements; but the value of the land and improvements shall be entered on the assessment roll in a single aggregate."); see also In re Tax Appeal of Andrews, 18 Kan. App. 2d 311, 323, 851 P.2d 1027 (1993) (holding the aggregate value of the land and its improvements is the controlling value).
This appeal by the County focuses only on the finding that the remaining refinery property was realty rather than personal property.
Our standard of review requires us to recognize that BOTA specializes in deciding taxation issues and that courts generally give its decisions deference on such issues unless its interpretation is erroneous as a matter of law. In re Tax Appeal of Boeing Co., 261 Kan. 508, 515, 930 P.2d 1366 (1997).
"When reviewing an agency's action, an appellate court's scope of review is limited to determining whether the district court reviewed the action in accordance with the Act for Judicial Review and Civil Enforcement of Agency Actions, K.S.A. 77-601 et seq. Board of Douglas County Comm'rs v. Cashatt, 23 Kan. App. 2d 532, 538, 933 P.2d 167 (1997).
"K.S.A. 77-621(c) allows the court to grant relief from the agency action under certain circumstances, including when the agency erroneously interpreted or applied the law, when the agency's decision is not supported by substantial competent evidence in the record, or when the agency's action is unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious. K.S.A. 77-621(c)(4),(7), (8). The party who asserts that the agency's decision is invalid bears the burden of proving the invalidity. K.S.A. 77-621(a)(1)." In re Equalization Appeal of Ottawa Housing Assoc., L.P., 27 Kan. App. 2d ____, ____ P.3d ____ (Case No. 83,198, Sept. 1, 2000).
K.S.A. 79-102 provides that the terms "real property," "real estate," and "land" "shall include not only the land itself, but all buildings, fixtures, improvements . . . and . . . rights and privileges appertaining thereto."
In Kansas, the test for determining whether personal property becomes a fixture is: "(1) annexation to the realty; (2) adaptation to the use of that part of the realty with which it is attached; and (3) the intention of the party making the annexation." Stalcup v. Detrich, 27 Kan. App. 2d ____, ____ P. 3d ____ (No. 83,641, Aug. 4, 2000) (citing U.S.D. No. 464 v. Porter, 234 Kan. 690, 695, 676 P.2d 84 [1984]).
In Stalcup, this court found that a metal building attached by metal bolts to a concrete slab was personal property because (a) it could be removed, (b) it was not particularly adapted to the farmland on which it sat, and (c) the owners' intention at the time of annexation for it to remain personal property was borne out by their provisions that it be separately taxed and that the taxes be paid by a distinct party. 27 Kan. App. 2d at ____. In Porter, the court noted that the propane tank at issue was not attached to the soil, was not buried underground, and was easily movable. It finally concluded that the tank was personal property. 234 Kan. at 695.
"Most modern authorities recognize the practical difficulties in formulating a comprehensive principle for determining what are fixtures, and hold that the determination can only be made from a consideration of all the individual facts and circumstances attending the particular case. [Citation omitted.]" Kansas City Millwright Co., Inc. v. Kalb, 221 Kan. 658, 664, 562 P.2d 65 modified 221 Kan. 752, 564 P.2d 1280 (1977). In this case, substantial competent evidence supports the district court's finding that the remaining refinery property should be classified as fixtures rather than personalty.
First, with regard to annexation, Green testified that the refinery property was firmly attached to the land and not easily removable, unlike the tank in Porter. The refinery tanks involved here are so large that the sheet metal to make them had to be transported to the site on semi trucks. It was welded down to create the floor of the tank, and the sides sheets were welded together until they formed a wall three inches thick. In order to remove the tanks, Green testified, they would have to be cut down a piece at a time. The refinery towers, weighing as much as 175,000 pounds, were built 20 feet into the ground with concrete foundations and designed to withstand 100-mile-an-hour winds. All of the property was originally interconnected, and it had not been severed from the land on the day of valuation. These facts constitute substantial competent evidence that the property was annexed to the realty.
In terms of adaptation, the County argues the property ceased to be of any value or usefulness to the land when the refinery closed down. However, a small part of the property was still being used on the valuation date to store asphalt. In addition, evidence was presented that the land was devoted to the placement of an oil refinery; and some of the property, including the towers and tanks, was specifically constructed for placement on that particular land. Much of the property would have to be cut down in pieces in order to be removed from the land, and such removal would result in environmental contamination that would have to be treated. This evidence was sufficient to meet the adaptation part of the test for fixtures.
Finally, with regard to intention, the County asserts Total intended that all of the property become personal property when the refinery was permanently closed. That is not the period of time we examine to determine this question. At the time of annexation, the taxpayer clearly intended that the property would be a permanent part of the land. It was firmly affixed to the ground, and the property was interconnected in such a way that removal of any portion would be exceedingly laborious and complicated. Moreover, the fact that the property still was not severed from the land on the date of valuation provides another piece of substantial competent evidence that the taxpayer's intention at the time of annexation was the creation of fixtures, not personal property.
Our review of the facts and the governing law in this case persuades us that BOTA did not erroneously interpret or apply the law; that its decision was supported by substantial competent evidence; and that its action was not unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious.

If Femto steps out of the Dream, I am so done!
the golems vs the "spiders" is pretty neat. Reminds me of the weird spiders Inside the sea god.
Ps: correct me if I'm wrong but is that the shape of the "yin yan" apostle we see in the background just before the splash page with the montage?
I don't think it's meant to be the exact same thing, but yes it's similar to it. Close enough that I don't think it's a coincidence, same with the Slan-like creatures I mentioned above.
Griffith: "Do you think you're chosen by god just because you were born a noble?"Griffith: "If you have something to protect, take the sword"Farnese: Ah, this feeling, it's as if I got hit on the head (overwhelming)It's similar to what I conceive towards Guts
What I find interesting is how varied the monsters are... and how fitting they are for the scenery. Very reminiscent of the Eclipse.
A Golden Age highlights reel! So many scenes here, recast with Miura's current pen.
It's finally happening Farnese and Schierke are learning about Guts' past by way of learning about Casca's. Isidro is going to be so jealous when he finds out what he missed...
Huh, what a strange notion... So familiar, somehow.
I was somewhat surprised Farnese didn't put 2+2 together when she saw Griffith in the memories. Afterall, she saw Griffith in Albion, and heard Guts speak his name. Too bad... Guess it wasn't the right moment.
Certainly -- design elements of slan and the apostle who kills Judo are abstractly visible. It's like a glimpse of what we could see up on the mountain.
On page 14, where Farnese put the love memory piece on the doll, it is shown a different monster from the ones before, and on the page after it seems as if it was following from distance the girls and the dog. I'm not sure if it's going to be relevant in the next episodes, as an attempt of Casca's conflicted feelings to thwart her own recovery, or if i'm just reading too much into it.
Indeed. A small regret is that we didn't see any memories highlighting events we didn't already know of. But I guess it makes sense if we think of the fragments as being related to the cause of all this.
I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but even more so in this episode I feel a sense of urgency and excitement directly from Miura through his art. It's almost as if he is exceptionally enthusiastic about what's coming next and can't wait to show the readers. Certainly it would be cool to see a few unique scenes and some more episodes in this dream sequence, but it's fun seeing Miura this passionate about his work (not that he isn't always passionate!). It's a great time to be reading Bersesrk.
In closing, I'll leave it at this: get your hankies ready for 351, people.
Could there be a possibility that the person Casca wants to see is either the Moonlight Boy or Griffith?
Little talking sprite-Casca was a definite highlight for me. Miura knows just when to pull out the little surprises that totally mushify your heart. It was so overwhelming to see something that had been kind of unspoken the last few episodes finally bubbling to the surface: "There's somebody I want to meet." I'm getting chills just thinking about it!
I'd say that is the sole most important point of this episode.
It's the first time we see Casca expressing herself with words. Sure, she didn't physically say them, but I'd say that's even better, because they couldn't express anything but a deep and true feeling inside her dreams. We got a very good clue on what, as SK would say, she really wants.
What they're about to face is what broke her (and created that world) in the first place.
I don't know about that. Farnese was present when the old Wizards were talking about the Hawk of Light earlier, though she was busy watching Casca, I'm sure she heard about Guts' connection to Griffith when they were asking him questions. Maybe not in name, but she'd recognize the face.
I think once they confront the truth (and Casca's emotions), things will be more concrete in how the state of the world has become.

DURHAM, N.H. - Behind a very small contingent, MIT men's track and field managed 20th place out of 38 scoring teams at the 2008 NEICAAA Outdoor Championship. Senior Omari Stephens paced the Engineers at the all-divisional meet, finishing second overall in the pole vault.
Stephens cleared 15'9" in the vault. Despite tying for the best jump of the day, the Tech senior settled for second place as Southern Connecticut State's Sutton Underwood topped the height on his first attempt.
Junior James Oleinik enjoyed another strong performance in the shot put en route to sixth out of 21 entries. Oleinik set a personal record and cleared 50 feet for the first time in his career with a throw of 50'10".
Anthony Teixeira was the only MIT athlete to compete in two individual events. Tex added to MIT's point total with an eighth-place finish in the long jump (22'5") while he just missed qualifying for finals in the 110-meter hurdles after a clip of 15.46.
The Engineers also received good efforts from Stephen Morton in the triple jump (44'11.5") and Vlad Sobes in the javelin (177'2") although both performances finished just outside of scoring.
The University of Rhode Island pulled away for the team championship with the University of Connecticut taking second.

It is always important to remember that a hydraulic system consists of many mechanical components. Mechanical components are subject to mechanical problems, vibration being a case in point.
Technically, excessive vibration is a mechanical, not a hydraulic problem. In a well-designed hydraulic system, vibration is neither identified with nor related to the shifting action of hydraulic controls, the linear movement of cylinders, the rotation of pumps and motors, or the oil itself. Yet, mechanical imbalance – which results in vibration – can and often is the cause of hydraulic problems that maintenance people must troubleshoot and deal with. A detailed troubleshooting procedure for excessive vibration appears in Figure 7.
Long-term consequences — The trouble is that engineers often tend to design to resolve an immediate problem, but frequently fail to consider the longer-term consequences of their designs. One example of lack of design foresight is component inaccessibility on many machines. Replacing a pump and achieving the required alignment of electric motor and hydraulic pump – to avoid vibration – in a machine is often difficult and sometimes nearly impossible if electric motors and pumps are buried inside the machine. The initial assembly is made without problems, but after other machine elements are in place, maintenance, repair, and replacement becomes a headache.
The designer should have anticipated a potential long-term maintenance problem, and not just designed for an easy, short-term assembly solution. A makeshift fix may be a relatively cheap short-term cure, but can become very expensive in the long run.
Don't keep it a secret — Maintenance personnel should be encouraged to think about causes and prevention of equipment problems, and to communicate their thoughts, observations, and ideas to their company's management. It is management's responsibility to review and evaluate suggestions submitted by the maintenance department, and to consider reported design short-comings when planning future equipment purchases. Otherwise, problems are just perpetuated.

Last winter I wrote how I didn't want the Mets to trade for Johan Santana. I was thinking he would cost too much in prospects and money, and would break down before the end of the contract. Who knows about injuries?
But, he's been worth it. Every time he goes out there you expect him to throw a good game and have the feeling the Mets will win. He provides a sense of confidence. You are surprised when he doesn't pitch well.
That's an ace.
The man should have 20 wins this season. Seven games the bullpen coughed up for him. Many more times the offense snoozed.
If he keeps pitching like this and the Mets give him some help, he will win a Cy Young Award here. I'm glad he's here. I always enjoy seen the best perform.

Born and raised in Russia, I got my Ph.D. degree in biology at St. Petersburg State University (Russia) and continued my research work at the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1999, I moved to the United States to pursue my neuroscience research at the UT Southwestern Medical Center located in Dallas, TX.
Being a scientist is rewarding in so many ways, including creativity but I still feel a compelling need to further express myself by taking an artistic journey.
Several years ago, I started to study photography. The powerful potential digital photography offers has encouraged me to explore different styles and mediums.
My artistic experimentation has evolved into a tremendously exciting form - digital art, mixed media collage and alternative photographic process.
I like experimenting with my photographs. I combine multiple images, textures, to crystallize an image that says something new and different at the emotional level.
My award winning works has been shown at numerous exhibitions and juried into fine art shows. Much of my work resides in private collections in the US and Russia.

This is a TAG:
You are going to be cast away on a desert island, but you must maintain your fabulousness. The trick is, it can only be a lip product. What ONE lip colour could you happily live with for the rest of your days? This isn't about your favourite or what's haute at the moment. It should be something that doesn't require lip liner or mixing with some other colour to make it look good. This should be a colour that you don't have to think twice about because you know it will never fail to make you look flirty, bold or seductive every time you wear it. What would it be?
Here are the rules:
- Choose your Desert Island Lip colour (lipstick, stain, lip pencil, OR gloss). Only one, please
- Tell us why you've picked it (what makes it special, timeless, or the bomb)
- Post a photo of yourself wearing the lipstick . The photo should be your full face
- *You may only use these other types of products in your photo:
- Foundation/concealer/powder
- Groomed brows
- Mascara
- Desert Island Lip product
- Tag 3 other beauty bloggers
*No paintpots, eyeshadows, eyeliner, blush, contour, highlighters or additional lip liners. Just K.I.S.S ).
My desert island pick is: MAC VIVA GLAM V LIPGLASS!
Colour: MAC calls it a neutral pink with pearl, but I would say it's a browned neutral pink with pearl. A fleshy neutral on me.
Why: A couple of reasons-- Viva Glam V was my first MAC love after Oh Baby! lipglass, it's part of the VIVA GLAM program, I'm a nude lip girl at heart, but this bit of pearl and a flesh toned lip product does my face and skin tone well... besides, it can be pretty universal!
Here's who I'm tagging:
Thanks Ace Your Face UK for tagging me chica! ;)

Writer on Jewish mysticism; born in 1808 at Kappel, near Buchau, Württemberg; died there Feb. 3, 1841. He was a son of the cantor Elias Landauer, and at the age of eighteen entered the yeshibah and lyceum in Carlsruhe; later he studied at the universities of Munich and Tübingen. In spite of ill health he returned to Munich in 1838 to copy from Hebrew manuscripts in the Royal Library extracts for use in his investigations. In 1839 he passed the examination for the rabbinate, and in the following year was appointed rabbi of Braunsbach, Württemberg. Only three months later illness obliged him to resign his position and to return to Kappel, where he died.
Of Landauer's works the following may be mentioned: "Jehova und Elohim, oder die Althebräische Gotteslehre als Grundlage der Geschichte der Symbolik und der Gesetzgebung der Bücher Mosis," Stuttgart and Augsburg, 1836 (see A. Geiger's review in his "Wiss. Zeit. Jüd. Theol." iii. 403 et seq.); "Wesen und Form des Pentateuchs," ib. 1838. Landauer's posthumous works and excerpts, dealing with his investigations of the history and literature of the Cabala, of the Zohar, and of Jewish literature, as well as his report on his studies of Hebrew manuscripts, were published in "Orient, Lit." 1845-46.
- Jost's Annalen, iii. 69 et seq.; Fürst, Bibl. Jud. ii. 219 et Seq.

Performance Alerts - even a novice can understand in Puppy
This thread is inspired by discussion that have raged over the last 4 years on RAM.
We are ALL aware of industry advances we have seen in both desktop (this includes laptop and others named "PC"s) technology and in the internet speeds. Thus, there is the combination of increased speed and increased volume.
In Puppyland, specifically, the issue of size/volume (this applies to all sorts of views) is still an issue and continues to be part in parcel discussion.
One thought that I have ONLY seen in one other vendors offering which I think can be very usefully applied in Puppy products is one of a visual-audio alert system on the system's desktop/taskbar reflecting current system resources.
On some PUPs, the taskbar has a graphical representation of RAM, but, many, if not most of us ever take the time to really understand it or use it. This doesn't mean its useless, rather, it has good information.
But, suppose that graphical contained a threshold which would sound an audible or reflect visually in some alerting way to indicate that the system is running critically short of the resource(s) that the graph reflects.
Were this the case, it could make it extremely easy for any user to understand and investigate methods of resolution.
There are 3 system areas that this type of alert could address. CPU utilization, RAM exploitation, and primary system partition utilization. And, considering the multimedia aspects that MOST, if not all, Puppy users have in their PCs, this alert could even be a vocal message addressing the user.
As many in the community already know, the system contains this information and it is in real time.
Is this reasonable?
Please share your views on this.

In my case, I have an indicator on the task bar that some see as memory usage when in fact, it is an indicator of the pupsave file's status.
And I have a 3gig pupsave with 1.92gig free that still shows an orange indicator color that would normally mean one's pupsave file free space is low.
I do not know how the threshold is figured.
But it seems that with a large pupsave file size, the orange indicator is in error.
I could cut down the size of the pupsave by combining installed pets into an add-on SFS file.
But I do not want to have to have backing up the SFS addons along with the pupsave as an acceptable means of backup.

Yes, I think an "alarm" function would be very helpful (maybe it already exists but I just don't know how to set it up...).
Conky is great, but it still does not penetrate my conciousness when there is a problem. For example - I am continually running out of laptop battery because I forget to turn on the wall power. The battery icon is flashing but I just don't seem to see it. If it was possible to turn on an audible alarm, or something like a pupsay splash over-riding all other windows it would be great.
Similarly with ram usage - if it were possible to set a threshold beyond which a pupsay splash would pop up it would more likely make me aware about what type of activities were choking the system. That might prompt me to turn off Flash, or switch on adblock etc etc.
Setting a Pupsave threshold that would bring up a warning spalsh would also be good. I guess I really only look down at the taskbar when I have nothing better to do...

Under linux there is no need to manage RAM directly, hence no need to display any warnings. While possible to flush RAM (clear the cache), it is entirely unnecessary and may actually slow things down by flushing out programs which you subsequently want to use.

While not a task bar icon... glances is a CLI tool that can seem to do some of what you want.
It requires python to run, but gives a good overview of whats going on in your system. You could just run a full screen shell window with it running it and keep it minimized, then when you need to know whats going on, Alt-Tab to maximize it.

amigo`s correct ( as usual ), the O.S. flushes anything not being used to free ram.
To monitor ram only shows you it`s taken up, as the O.S. leaves things for reuse.
Ram is never full if you have a swap file, so there`s no need to worry or monitor it.
You could run all of the average Puppy`s apps. at once and it`d take under 500 MB.
New PC users often confuse ram and HD space, not understanding the difference.
The exception: No-Swap PCs need a ram monitor. There`s a forum thread on this.

Gov. Rick Scott's endorsement of a plan to expand Medicaid has many Republicans fuming, but not Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist.
The former governor says the state should press ahead with a plan to expand Medicaid roles to cover an additional 900,000-or-more poor Floridians.
"I never think it's harmful to explore other alternatives in addition, but we don't know what they are yet and how they're going to be handled and how compassionate they're going to be and if they're really going to serve people," Crist said. "But Medicaid works. We know that. It is the bird in the hand."
Crist has been all over the map when it comes to supporting President Barack Obama's signature health care law. In 2010, he said the bill should be repealed but later said it should only be modified.

He said he would have voted for the bill. And he said he would have voted against the bill.
But now that the law has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, Crist says it is time to move on.
The money that would be coming to the state to expand Medicaid is essentially tax dollars that Florida residents have already sent to Washington, Crist said. "They ought to benefit from it, is my view. In essence, they already paid their taxes to make Medicaid work and solvent, they should benefit from it."
On Thursday, the state revised its projections for the cost of expanding Medicaid, saying it would cost state taxpayers about $3 billion over 10 years. The federal government's share would be roughly $51 billion over the same time period.

K-W-L Chart
This K-W-L Chart, which tracks what a student knows (K), wants to know (W), and has learned (L) about a topic, can be used before, during, and after research projects.
Students in grades 38 should engage in various types of research. Using a K-W-L chart, students can prepare to research a topic and use it to track information gathered along the way. This tool will help students confirm what they know about a topic and encourage them to think about how they want to focus their research. Ask students leading questions for each column of the chart, such as, What do you already know about this topic? What things do you want to learn about the topic, so you can focus your research? and What did you learn from doing your research?
- Have students conduct research about a particular country, an unusual animal, a celestial body, or other content area topic. Ask students to first think about what they know about the selected topic (for example, the poison dart frog) and write it in the first column. Students should then direct their thinking toward the research questions they have about the poison dart frog. These questions are recorded in the second column. Then, as students conduct research, they should add information gathered to the column, showing what was learned. For older students, you may want make a K-W-L-S chart, with the fourth column focusing on what students may still want to learn even after completing research.
- Use the K-W-L chart to direct students thinking as they begin reading a new chapter book. Show them the title and cover of the book and encourage them to think about what the book might be about. Then ask students to think about what they might already know about the book or the book topic. Encourage them to brainstorm about the events in the book and pose questions about the events or characters. These can be recorded on the chart as a class or individually. As students read the story, instruct them to revisit their questions in the What I Want to Know column every few days and answer them in the What I Learned column.

Version: Upgrade from Prime R16
Upgrade from Prime R16
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
Maxon Cinema 4D Visualize R19 allows architects and designers to visualize and design products, architecture, and other real-life objects, to create walk-throughs, stills, and animations in high levels of realism. C4D offers an intuitive workflow and reliable operation, allowing you to efficiently meet deadlines and make last-minute revisions. Maxon regularly releases free service packs for optimization with changes in operating systems and drivers, contributing to continued reliability in demanding environments.
Cinema 4D is designed with a logically arranged (and customizable) interface and intuitive, easy-to-understand operation. To make things easier, the interface also allows any questions about a specific function to be asked by right-clicking on the function and jumping straight to the integrated software documentation.
C4D is also designed to stay flexible throughout your entire project. It offers various options, such as procedural shaders, for working non-destructively, and the C4D Take System allows you to save and manage multiple versions of a scene in a single file.
The application is compatible with Mac and Windows systems.
Note: This upgrade is valid for existing owners of Cinema 4D Prime R16.
|System Requirements
macOS 10.11.6 or 10.12.4+ with 64-bit CPU running on Intel-based Mac
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit or higher on Intel or AMD 64-bit CPU with SSE3 support
4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)
OpenGL graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.1 (dedicated GPU recommended)
The GPU renderer requires an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card on Windows or AMD on macOS which supports OpenCL 1.2 or higher At least 4 GB VRAM is recommended for GPU rendering
USB port, registration is required
Special Notes from Maxon
Cinema 4D on Windows 10:
There are no known Cinema 4D issues that are Windows 10-specific but your user experience might differ, depending on your hardware. A closed field test showed that some but not all GPU drivers or input device drivers work less reliably on the new operating system, especially when using 3rd-party plug-ins that rely on these drivers. This can change anytime if these drivers are updated, which means that no general guidelines exist regarding which graphics cards will be affected. For users of Intel HD2500 / HD4000 GPUs, the use of Windows 10 is not recommended because they will most likely not receive the necessary updates. Additionally, some versions of QuickTime could not be used with Windows 10. According to the Apple support website, there is no official support for Windows 10. However, positive feedback has been received with regard to using version 7.7.9 with Windows and Cinema 4D.
Generally, Cinema 4D supports all currently available Intel and AMD 64-bit CPUs with SSE3 support. However, the risk of compatibility issues for new CPUs (like AMD's latest Ryzen family of CPUs) that are released during a Cinema 4D release cycle cannot be completely ruled out. But updates may be provided in the future for current releases to support these CPUs.
Graphics Cards:
Generally, Cinema 4D supports all OpenGL 4.1-capable graphics cards. Nevertheless, a dedicated 3D graphics card with an AMD or NVIDIA chip set is recommended. High-performance graphics chips are currently already available in mid-range laptops. Ensure to always use the most current certified graphics card driver (no beta versions).
Regarding NVIDIA 3D Vision:
A quad buffered graphics card is required to use NVIDIA's 3D Vision Shutter glasses for viewing the stereoscopic display in Cinema 4D.

I've finished Joan Waugh's U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth. I'll give some thoughts on the book at some point in the near future. But it and Larry Tagg's The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln got me to thinking: what do we really know of "public opinion" as of a point in time? I mean, it's hard even today, with polls out the wazoo, to tell what public opinion is on any given topic. The most typical resource relied upon for public opinion has been newspapers, including reporting and editorializing. But let's keep in mind that newspapers never have been objective, and during the middle period of the 19th century in this country they were unabashedly partisan. That's why they had names like "The Democrat", "The Whig" and "The Republican". They reflected the viewpoints of their owners and editors (again, no different from today). If we admit the lack of objectivity, then we don't take editorials at face value – we also delve into letters to the editor. Of course those were selected for publication by the editor as well. So perhaps we should look in the records of the newspapers themselves: files of letters to the editor that never made it into print. If they exist, we have to rely on the objectivity of the newspaper in saving the letters. And even that pool is tainted because it will consist of correspondence from readers of that particular newspaper. As consumers, we have to deal with another filter, that of the historian who selects (evaluates) what's pertinent, what's worthwhile. Anyway, all this thinking just makes me look more suspiciously at generalizations about what people in the north or south "thought" or "felt", and about how "pressure from the public" or even the press, influenced decision makers.

You make a very important point. CW newspapers are incredibly rich sources, but they must be used judiciously. I agree that too many authors present the words of various newspaper editors as reflective of the feelings of some larger slice of society. (I encounter this repeatedly in my current research on a particular ethnic group during the war; so many times I find authors cite ethnic newspaper editorials as evidence of the larger group's feelings about any number of issues re: the conflict, as though (1) the larger group was monolithic, i.e., its members felt and/or acted in virtual lock step; and (2) the ethnic editors were indeed in a position to speak for the group.) To be sure, CW newspaper editors undoubtedly wielded a great deal of influence, especially among their readers. But citing their opinions as evidence of anything other than their own feelings on various matters is problematic.
By the way, I hope you will reveal how/why Waugh's and Tagg's books inspired this post. I've not read either of them yet, but both are on my list.

I'm looking forward to reading both. By the way, it'd be interesting to know if any author / historian has had success in locating the 'archives' of any CW newspapers, including letters to the editor not published. An old advisor of mine raised the same idea years ago, but I had no success (at least in part because the paper was middling in size). As you say, it would likely be revealing to see which letters were published and which were not.

Montana wildlife commission pursues more aggressive wolf-killing
Trapping puts other species at risk, raises stakes unnecessarily
HELENA, Mont. (July 12, 2012) – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) Commission approved changes to the 2012-2013 wolf hunting regulations today that will allow widespread wolf trapping, triple the number of wolves an individual can kill in a single season, and eliminate hunt quotas across nearly the entire state.
The following is a statement from Mike Leahy, Rocky Mountain director for Defenders of Wildlife:
"Montanans already live with 13,000 black bears and 3,500 cougars, so there's no reason we can't learn to live with 650 wolves as well. Sharing the landscape with these animals is an important part of life in the West and what makes Montana so special.
"We're disappointed to see Montana focusing on reducing the wolf population instead of maintaining it. Montana was a bright star in the region, showing everyone what a balanced, incremental approach to wolf management looked like. Now they're moving to kill hundreds more wolves unnecessarily when there is no legitimate need to do so.
"Trapping wolves could have serious impacts to rare, non-target species, including lynx and wolverine. Livestock losses to wolves were at a five-year low in 2011, so using that issue as a justification for this unnecessary program is disingenuous. Instead, FWP should prioritize using cost-effective nonlethal tools to reduce livestock conflicts."

Sharks stay perfect with shootout winby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- The streak goes on for the undefeated San Jose Sharks, who won their seventh straight game and second straight shootout Thursday night at HP Pavilion, a 3-2 decision over the Edmonton Oilers.
Michal Handzus and Dan Boyle scored the only goals in the shootout, and Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi stopped both shots he faced, first from Sam Gagner then from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan downplayed the importance of being the NHL's only remaining undefeated team -- but not the importance of having 14 quick points.
"The schedule's so compacted, it's a short season," McLellan said. "The more you can bank points the better off you are. We'll have our share of times where we're frustrated and maybe not winning, but right now we've got to keep putting them in the bank as much as we can."
Handzus has been money in the bank in shootouts for San Jose. He's now 18 for 34 for his career and 7 for 12 as a Shark.
During a shootout win against Anaheim on Tuesday, Handzus scored the decider in the first round against Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller. Handzus again got the Sharks off to a good start in the shootout, this time beating Devan Dubnyk on a high shot to his stick side.
"He's big, too, but he's deep in the net. I knew I couldn't shoot it right away," Handzus said. "I tried to fake it first, make him go down then try to go up. It worked."
McLellan said there was no doubt he was going to send Handzus out first again in the shootout.
"He's elite, one of the best in the League, and we're fortunate to have him in that situation," McLellan said. "He seems to make it count more often than not."
In the third round Boyle wristed a shot past Dubnyk, sealing the victory.
Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored in regulation for the Sharks. Gagner and Taylor Hall had goals for the Oilers, who fell to 4-2-1 but played much better than they did in a 6-3 loss to San Jose 10 days earlier when the Sharks scored six first-period goals.
"We needed to respond after that game in Edmonton," said Dubnyk, who gave up all six of the Sharks' goals in the Oilers' home-opener.
Hall nearly ended it less than a minute into overtime on a breakaway, but Niemi caught his shot from close range. A minute later Hall nearly redirected a shot into the net, but Niemi stopped that one as well.
With 1:15 left in overtime, Gagner was penalized for hooking Marc-Edouard Vlasic and the Sharks went on their fifth power play. Boyle had a good scoring chance from the slot, and Couture ripped a one-timer with time running out. But the Sharks, who entered the game with the NHL's top power play, came up empty again.
The Sharks killed all three penalties they faced against an Oilers' power play that ranked was No. 2 entering the game. The Sharks have now killed 16 straight penalties.
"It's been good," McLellan said. "That's one of the top power plays in the League, very dangerous. Not only do they have a lot of skill on it but they've got some speed, some tempo to it. It starts with the goaltender. He made some great saves when he had to. Everybody else is doing their jobs and not getting caught out very long. We've been able to stay fresh on the penalty kill, which helps."
The Oilers trailed 2-1 entering the third but needed just 51 seconds to pull even on Hall's goal, capping a 2-on-1 break with Jordan Eberle. Hall sent a cross-ice pass to Eberle, took the return feed and sent beat Niemi from just left of the crease.
The Sharks appeared to move back ahead when Ryane Clowe got past Mark Fistric and beat Dubnyk with a backhander at 4:24. But Clowe was penalized for interfering with Fistric long before he put the puck in the back of the net.
The Sharks turned up the heat late in the third, sending puck after puck at Dubnyk, but they couldn't get one past him. For the period, the Sharks outshot the Oilers 13-6.
There were no first-period fireworks -- or even goals -- this time. But after a scoreless first 20 minutes, the Sharks got goals from Couture and Pavelski in a span of 39 seconds midway through the second period to grab a 2-0 lead.
Both goals were unassisted, and both came after Oilers turnovers in the neutral zone by defensemen, the first by Ryan Whitney and the second by Ladislav Smid.
While being pressured by Sharks forward Scott Gomez, Whitney lost control of the puck, and Couture jumped on the gift with nothing but open ice between him and Dubnyk. He blasted a shot inside the left post at 7:32, putting the Sharks ahead.
Seconds later, Pavelski blocked a pass by Smid, grabbed the puck and headed the other way -- again with no Oiler in his path. He ripped a shot from the right circle past Dubnyk's glove at 8:11 to make it 2-0. It was his fourth goal in three games.
Oilers coach Ralph Krueger then used his timeout, and his team quickly responded. Fistric fired a hard shot from the blue line, and Gagner redirected the puck past Niemi at 10:56 for his third of the season.
"I think we have to gain confidence from the way we battled back," Gagner said. "It's obviously a tough one to lose. Coming off a back-to-back against a team like San Jose, who's playing so well, we have to learn from it and continue to develop. The way we played in our home opener, we weren't happy with that and we let their offense take control of that game, and we weren't very patient. Tonight, we got some of that patience back. We were able to push the pace a bit. It was a great team effort from us."
After playing solid hockey during their first five wins, the Sharks have struggled the past two games but have found a way to win both in shootouts.
"That's what good teams do, but we cannot make a habit of it," Handzus said. "Obviously we've got to be better than the last two games. We got to work on it. The wins matter, for sure, but you cannot let it slide. You got to still play well."
The Oilers outshot the Sharks 11-7 in a fast-paced first period, but neither team could capitalize on numerous good scoring chances.
Gomez, skating on the second line, was stopped by Dubnyk from close range on a rush just over a minute into the game. With Edmonton on its first power play, Sharks forward Martin Havlat was rejected by Dubnyk on a breakaway. Seconds later, Couture hit the left post.
Gagner blasted a shot from the low slot late in the period, but Niemi gloved it. Ten different Oilers fired shots at Niemi, but he stopped every one.
The Oilers were without captain Shawn Horcoff, who missed the game with a stiff neck -- the result of a hard hit he took Wednesday night from the Phoenix Coyotes' Shane Doan.
Edmonton called up forward Anton Lander from Oklahoma City of the American Hockey League -- he was in the lineup on the fourth line -- and sent down forward Magnus Paajarvi to make room for him on the roster.
Boyle returned to the lineup after missing Tuesday night's game against Anaheim. Defenseman Jason Demers, who had been out after fracturing a wrist while playing hockey in Europe during the lockout, was added to the active roster but was a scratch.
McLellan shuffled his bottom three lines in the third period and OT on Tuesday against Anaheim, and he opened against Edmonton with most of that new-look lineup. Gomez jumped from the fourth to second line as a wing, skating with Couture and Clowe. Havlat dropped from the second to the third line, replacing TJ Galiardi, who was a scratch. James Sheppard replaced Galiardi in the lineup.
"He's showing us that he wants to keep playing and stay in the lineup," McLellan said of Sheppard.

RSL aims to rebound against struggling Vancouver
Sandy, UT – Real Salt Lake will close out a three-match homestand on Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and head coach Jason Kreis will be looking for his team to offer up a strong response.
Salt Lake began its season with five away games in its first seven before coming home for its current stretch of home games.
But after a 1-0 win against Chivas USA two weeks ago, RSL put forth a disappointing performance against the Los Angeles Galaxy, losing 2-0 last weekend to a Galaxy side without key players like Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.
"It wasn't just Donovan and Keane, there were five players that started tonight with the Galaxy that aren't typically in their strongest eleven," Kreis said. "So much so that when I got their lineup I was nervous to even write it up on the board. I was wondering if there was any way I could just sneak it in that they were playing LA's strongest lineup. I feel that our guys have had a tendency over the past to let down when they are playing a team that they think is weaker than they are; and tonight they got shown that team isn't weaker than we are. Their eleven was better than our eleven."
Kreis will be hoping for a much better showing against the Whitecaps, but he will be missing some offensive punch with the absence of leading scorer Alvaro Saborio, who is expected to miss "several weeks" because of a quad injury.
Both Robbie Findley and Olmes Garcia are capable of filling in for Saborio, but both also missed some time in training this week with injury issues of their own, although Kreis expects them to be fit for Saturday's game.
The Whitecaps bring a six-game winless streak into the match, but the club should be encouraged by its 2-2 draw last weekend against FC Dallas after scoring two goals in the second half to rally for a point.
Much of the club's success in the second half was due to the play of 18-year- old Kekuta Manneh, who was the fourth overall pick in this year's SuperDraft.
Manneh tallied his first MLS goal in the 72nd minute and then set up the equalizing goal for Camilo three minutes later.
"He's got the world at his feet, and that's not blowing wind up his backside," said Whitecaps defender Andy O'Brien. "I think he's a very exciting talent and he demonstrated today what he is capable of, he should be very proud about himself tonight."
Manneh will give head coach Martin Rennie another option in attack and he feels he is ready to take on a bigger role.
"I think I came in and made a difference - created some chances," Manneh said. "When I came in, the game changed, so I definitely need some minutes to play."
The two sides will be playing for the second time this season after a 1-1 draw in Vancouver last month as Camilo scored a penalty kick in the 84th minute to equalize for the Whitecaps.

Fill up your car and our trained staff will unload while you stay in the comfort of your vehicle.
This special e-waste recycling collection event is intended for items that are typically purchased throughout the year like toys, outdoor decorations, computers, laptops, televisions, cell phones and much more. "Anything with a Plug™" will be accepted and recycled – except large appliances, smoke detectors, and rear-projection TVs.
All materials collected will be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner and for your security, all media data that is collected is destroyed. This free service is provided by Green in Chestnut Hill and Norwood Fortbonne Academy, and all material collected will be processed by eForce Compliance, the first dual certified electronic recycler in the Delaware Valley. eForce provides a full staff of professional e-waste experts to handle and transport all material collected, and in the process creates sustainable green jobs.
