Security Council toughens sanctions against North Korea
The UN Security Council has again unanimously condemned North Korea's rocket launch of 12 December 2012 and further tightened its targeted sanctions against the country. In Resolution 2087 of 22 January 2013, the Council demands that North Korea end all ballistic tests and nuclear programmes. Further individuals involved in the rocket programme have been added to existing sanctions lists and will now be subject to travel bans and asset freezes. Banks and other institutions have also been included in the lists.

In Berlin, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle welcomed the resolution, calling it a "clear response to North Korea's actions, which blatantly violate international law". He went on to say that it showed "that the international community will not tolerate the country's deliberate provocations".
The Security Council has also further specified sanctions provisions and added clearer instructions. For example, it calls for enhanced vigilance by member states in order to prevent any financial transactions intended to fund Pyongyang's nuclear and rocket programmes. The procedure for inspecting goods on vessels is also addressed. Furthermore, the Security Council expressed its determination to "take significant action" in the event of a further missile launch or nuclear test by North Korea.
"Actions, not words"
In the light of the continued violations of international law by North Korea, Minister Westerwelle stressed:
North Korea's new leadership must now make a choice. If it keeps up its provocations and continues to violate international law and isolate itself, we will not hesitate to respond resolutely, now and in the future. The other option, which we have long been pressing for, is a change of course towards de escalation, dialogue and reintegration into the international community. The door remains wide open. But let me emphasize that what counts are actions, not words.
International concern about nuclear rocket programme

North Korea is isolated internationally and one of the most closed-off countries in the world. The population is suffering due to the poor economic situation and the lack of basic necessities as well as political repression. The international community is striving to persuade North Korea to halt its nuclear programme. Since 2003, the most important forum for this were the six-party talks in which the two Koreas as well as the US, China, Russia and Japan took part. However, they broke down back in 2009.
Pyongyang conducted nuclear weapon tests and launched rockets in previous years. In April 2012, another rocket launch failed. The launch of a Unha 3 long-range rocket on 12 December 2012 seems to have been successful. The North Korean leadership claimed it had sent a weather satellite into space. However, the international community suspects that an intercontinental missile was tested. UN Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874 from 2006 and 2009 as well as Resolution 2087 (2013), which has just been adopted, prohibit such ballistic missile launches by North Korea.
In reaction to the latest condemnation by the UN Security Council, North Korea is threatening to strengthen its nuclear deterrent and no longer take part in denuclearization negotiations. Minister Westerwelle called on the leadership in Pyongyang to comply with the UN Security Council resolutions in full and to refrain from any irresponsible actions which could further exacerbate the situation on the Korean Peninsula. He went on to say that North Korea would face even greater international isolation should it carry out further nuclear weapon tests.

Topic: Photoshop Keyboard Command switching from 'Text' to 'Selection' tool
I know the keyboard command for the selection tool is "v" and I know the keyboard command for using the text tool is "t". Is there a way to switch from the text tool to the selection tool using a keyboard command. If you are using the text tool and type "v", like you would when switching from any other tool, a "v" appears on the screen instead of switching!
I know I could just use the mouse to switch tools but keyboard shortcuts are faster and more fun. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks, Brian

Leslie Sobon, a vice president of Advanced Micro Devices, said that the company had no immediate plans to target the market of slate-type computers. Earlier Ms. Sobon said hybrid chips that feature both x86 and graphics engines would revolutionize tablets.
"I think that we are looking upon tablets as we were looking upon netbooks. [...]with Ontario, we are in a good position to [...] grab a share of the netbook market. [...] We will move to tablets when they are proven successful. [...] Netbooks are not as sexy as tablets [...]," said Leslie Sobon, vice president of worldwide product marketing at AMD, in an interview with Inside Hardware web-site.
Back in August Advanced Micro Devices announced intentions to install its chips into slate-type personal computers going forward, but at the same time it said that it had no plans to develop direct competitors to system-on-chips (SoCs) based on designs developed by ARM holdings, such as those that power smartphones or the most popular tablet at present, the Apple iPad.
At present netbooks and similar low-power devices are much more popular than tablets. However, the recent success of Apple iPad is clearly demonstrating the fact that consumers do need slates.

Class Action Suit Airs Intel and Microsoft's Vista Dirty Laundry
Jason Mick
February 29, 2008 1:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The little sticker that is causing a world of trouble for Microsoft and Intel.
(Source: DailyTech)
Microsoft executive -- "We set ourselves up"
One of the most iconic images of Microsoft's Windows Vista launch in January 2007 was the small "Windows Vista Capable" stickers on computers months before, reassuring customers that when the new operating system came out, their computers could be updated to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately for the consumer it appears that the capabilities that these stickers promised were intentionally exaggerated to benefit Microsoft and chipmaker Intel.
A class action suit filed against Microsoft in April 2007
accused Microsoft of intentionally misleading
consumers with the stickers, claiming the "Vista Capable" logos on computers that were anything but. The suit centered around several key points, among which was that the computers sold could not run Windows Vista's more impressive features such as the Aero user interface, and were left with only a bare-bones skeleton of Vista. The suit
forced Microsoft to redefine
its definition of what exactly "Vista Capable" meant, which included Microsoft's addition of a disclaimer that some of the PCs bearing the sticker could not run significant Vista features such as Aero.
Meanwhile, the legal case proceeded forward. Armed with internal emails obtained from Microsoft, the plaintiffs,
represented by high-power attorney Jeffrey Tilden of Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell,
took their case before a U.S. District Judge in order to gain class action status
. In a significant victory for the plaintiffs
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman
granted the case class action status
, with the primary focus being to determine whether Microsoft intentionally deceived consumers to sell PCs. The judge also opened the door for the suit to also encompass gripes about the lack of Aero if the plaintiffs found another named plaintiff who bough Vista but was unable to run Aero.
Now in the aftermath of the ruling, the Judge Pechman
unsealed 158 pages of Microsoft corporate emails
(PDF) that paint a picture Microsoft would rather not have the public see.
Some of these emails featured Microsoft employees candidly describing the program with, "
Even a piece of junk will qualify" for "Vista Capable" designation. The now famous email from
Mike Nash, currently a corporate vice president for Windows product management, states, "
I PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers? ... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine."
Less dramatic, but equally damaging was the email from
Jim Allchin, then the co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, stating grimly, "
We really botched this ... You guys have to do a better job with our customers."
The most interesting emails though, turn out to be the new ones. While a number of key portions of several emails were redacted, the parts that remain paint a picture of intentional deception that Microsoft virtually admitted to in the internal emails.
In the emails Microsoft executives discuss how the
Intel 915 Chipset
was to initially be deemed incompatible Windows Vista. The policy was abruptly reversed. Says one of the executives in charge of the decision, "
In the end, we lowered the requirements to help Intel make their quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with the 915 graphics embedded. We are caving to Intel. We worked the last 18 months to drive the [user interface] experience and we are giving this up."
This admission is extremely significant as it precisely describes what was alleged by the class action suit. Microsoft will have to fight an uphill battle to prove that its employees' email correspondence was inaccurate and misleading.
Other emails make it clear that retailers had voiced frustrations with Microsoft, and were met with stubborn resistance from Microsoft executives due to the policy, which aimed to underhandedly pump up Intel's chipset sales. Says one Microsoft executive, guiltily, "
I was in Best Buy listening to people and can tell you this did not come clear to customers. We set ourselves up."
"It seems as though my state-funded math degree has failed me. Let the lashings commence." -- DailyTech Editor-in-Chief Kristopher Kubicki

Giselle Corbie-Smith, MD, MSc
Professor, Social Medicine
Professor, Department of Medicine
Center for Health Equity Research
BA 1986, Cornell University - Ithaca NYMD 1991, Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Bronx NYMSc 2000, Emory University - Atlanta GA
Dr. Corbie-Smith is Professor of Social Medicine and Medicine at the School of Medicine, and nationally recognized for her scholarly work on the practical and ethical issues regarding involvement of minorities in research. She directs the Program on Health Disparities at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at UNC-Chapel Hill and has been a member of several national and regional committees including Institute of Medicine committees examining the ethical issues of involving minority communities and underserved groups in housing-related research and on standards for systematic reviews in comparative effective research.

In all of her studies, she has built multidisciplinary research teams to conduct research in conditions with health disparities. Her work on community members' expectations and perceptions of benefits of research emphasizes the principles and expected outcomes of community-based research. She has effectively developed and conducted research across systems to address the health needs of vulnerable populations with the goal of eliminating health disparities, while providing support to pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and junior faculty trainees. Her recent line of inquiry has focused on developing methods and interventions to engage minority and underserved communities in research. She has focused on interventions to increase minority participation in clinical research and the use of engaged research methods, like community based participatory research, to work collaboratively with communities to address the issues of most concern. In addition, she has used each project to mentor young scholars from a variety of disciplines and from undergraduates to junior faculty members, and currently holds a K24 to support her mentoring efforts. She has been the principal investigator of grants funded through the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, the National Institute of Nursing Research and the National Human Genome Research Institute.

KTLMPosted Thursday, November 3, 2011, at 12:50 PM
My Dad told me once at the lowest point in my life, that "God only gives people what they can handle, and it makes them stronger" Actually, I don't know if that is verbatim, but something along those lines. I was at my parents house, and was walking out the door, in my despair. It was shortly after the death of my firstborn daughter. I don't remember much about the conversation, but I remember thinking (don't remember if I said it to him) "I'm strong enough, please God, no more" There really is no true understanding of His ways, but I could only have Faith, and never lose Hope. Not to say that I never lost Faith/Hope. I'm human.
I have been so lucky in my life in so many ways. I've had heart ache that seemed to go on forever. And then I was able to bring babies to my home. Evan was a happy baby and always easy to get along with.
Katie was born 2 1/2 years later.... She had an excited big brother waiting on her! He didn't know it, but she was bringing gifts just for him, and was looking forward to meeting the brother that would later boss her around. Katie arrived June 10 (he was Dec 1) with the biggest eyes looking all around ...as if she was wise and knew things. She was considerably past due, and just amazingly beautiful.
On the way home from the hospital, we stopped at the Park in Boise to let Evan feed the Ducks, and have some fun after being cooped up all day. Then we took my children home to begin the life I was looking forward to.
Evan adored her...never once waivered in that. Katie was a tough little girl, and cute as could be, and for the most part knew it. She walked early, and I will never forget her in a little pink robe, looking like a little doll floating around the floor.
Once at my parent's house, we told her "No" for something, I forget what. She was wearing a little pink poofy dress and...walked over to the wall, and put her hand on the wall, and her forehead on her hand.... so dramatically.... My Mom and I thought she was so cute.... not at all the response she was wanting. We still giggle about that. You can't make that stuff up.... little Drama Princess.
Katie was one tough little girl.... and she had to be to keep up with her cousins and brother. And she had them all wrapped around her little finger, (though I'm sure they will deny it vehemently now)
She had a pony from the time she was 2, and the hard knocks she took from them, I can't begin to count. She spent at least 4 summers wearing casts, and showed in the Fair every summer from the time she was 4.
Ya know those big semi tractor trailers going down the hiway with the letters KTLM on the side of the trailers? We used to tease her that those were named after her. I bet next time you see them, you'll think of her!
She became the Honorable person that I wanted all my children to become, but on top of that, she became a nurturer, and so much more of a gentle person than I. It may sound backwards or ridiculous, but she is the person who helped me become the Mother I am. When she was 5, Joey was born, and she mothered him in many ways.
She is gentle and caring and so much more. She has put together that gentleness and hard will in a way that is at times super human, in my eyes.
Other than the times as a child when she misbehaved, she was (really none of my kids) never "bad". She was always 'trying' to do right. Once when she was about 20, she did manage to really upset me. It was a week before Thanksgiving, when she managed to do this. I was silent for so long, thinking of what I wanted to say, and having a wash of emotions going thru my mind/heart. I am not one to ever say anything impulsive, and I think I can thank my Mother for that. There was so much in that moment that I wanted to say in anger, but I bit my tongue thinking "I can't say it" I can only imagine what Katie was thinking in these moments of my Silence. When I did finally speak, I did say many of the things I wanted to voice, in my anger. And then, I told her, "I've always told you to do the best you can, in whatever you are doing, so now, your course has changed, and I still want you to do the best ever" She told me later that she could see the struggle, and in her fear, she thought I was not going to forgive her.
I have come to see the "Door that opened, when one door shut" in that also. There was a Silver/Gold Lining there also.
Her course did change, but she has only become stronger as the years have gone by, and never ceases to amaze me. She is the one who told me to step out of my sadness at the loss of my sister, and helped me thru that with her strength and determination.
She brought into my life my first Grandson, and who am I to say that there isn't a special bond between a Grandma and her first Grandchild? That bond laid the path to such strong bonds between myself and all my grandchildren.
My KTLM is stubborn ... Oh my gosh, annoyingly so at times. Strong willed to the point of a barb. I'm proud of that, and annoyed at times. She's not afraid to tell me "No" ... and I'm proud of that ... while wishing.....
She's a Mother to her core, and I can't ask more than that.

A modern-day treasure hunt, geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity which uses GPS and other navigational technique to hide and seek "geocaches" amongst its players.
Some of Prague's geocaches include:
Lennon Wall – Amidst the famous wall of creative expression, find John Lennon-inspired graffiti, lyrics from Beatles songs, slogans of peace and love…and the cache.
Wenceslas Square – Skirt the crowds and the traffic of Wenceslas Square and head to front entrance ramps of the National Museum to find this micro cache. Act with extra care when retrieving and replacing it.
Emauzy - Inside the Abbey, find the classic but magnetic film canister. Be careful when retrieving and returning the cache. The monastery is frequently visited so best to visit between 6pm-8am daily and during weekends

Hi all, latest photos of the status of the attic. Installed roof ventilator, solar film 2 windows, added racking and plan to hang the bings on the racks. I've also lined some of the walls with camphor woods as well.
It's an improvement, it's less hotter and less humid. Except that when it gets really really hot (when it records 29 Degree C), the humidity dips to below 30%! Here in Singapore. I guess it will be hotter up in the attic - these readings are taken 10ft down.
I am thinking of cool roofing the attic and replacing glass windows with glass bricks. Will instal an access ladder as well.
My $ now goes to improvement of the attic area. .... Unfortunately it did not stop me from spending on 2X 1kg bings just yesterday, a 2003 Menghai Tea Factory golden bud ancient tea.
I am also vacuum packing some older teas. Don't know if it makes any sense at all.....am doing A-B test with one vacuum packed and another in normal conditions.
Thanks for watching.

Samsung Electronics stopped selling its popular Galaxy Tab slates in Australia due to a court order. Apple, which accused Samsung of patents infringement, asked the court to order Samsung to stop selling Galaxy Tab devices until the patent lawsuit is fully resolved.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" infringes ten Apple patents, including the "look and feel", and touch-screen technology of the Apple iPad, Steven Burley, a lawyer for Apple, told Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett, reports Bloomberg news-agency. Apple is also seeking to stop Samsung selling its popular Google Android-based tablets in other countries, including the U.S., but the South Korea-based company denies that it infringes any patents.
The latest Samsung Galaxy Tab slates are powered by a dual-core ARM system-on-chip (Nvidia Tegra 2 with high-performance GeForce integrated graphics), are equipped with 8.9" or 10.1" multi-touch LCD screens with 1280*800 resolution; 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage; USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and HSPA+/EDGE/GPRS connectivity. The new slates feature a 3MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera. There are also Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V flavour of the 10.1" slate with 8MP camera, but in thicker form-factor. At present only the 10.1V version is expected to be sold in Australia. The latest tablets are based on Android 3.0/3.1 operating system.
The sales ban of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V will help Apple to ensure that its iPad-series slates will remain the most popular tablets in the country and will lack any competition.
The issue can be resolved on August 29, 2011, at the earliest. It is highly likely that the actual decision will be made later, which means that the Australian court has just helped Apple to virtually monopolize the market of slates in the country for several months.

Building on the highly successful initial "Roadmap for U.S. Robotics," published in 2009, a new and updated report for 2013 outlines the progress of robots in multiple industries over the last five years, identifies goals for the coming decade and emphasizes the importance of the robotics research pipeline for maintaining U.S. innovation. First announced by President Obama in 2011, the National Robotics Initiative was officially established in 2012 by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture.
Highlighting robotics as a key economic enabler, the 2013 roadmap explores the potential of robotics technology to transform U.S. society by developing new markets and industries, creating new jobs and addressing a number of issues of national importance. IRIM Director Henrik Christensen presented the report to the Congressional Robotics Caucus on March 20, 2013.
"Robots have the potential to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., to improve our quality of life and to make sure our first responders and warfighters stay safe," said Christensen. "We hope this report will help foster the discussion on how we can build partnerships and allocate resources to move the robotics industry forward."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (41 votes).
In short: Work In ProgressIn full: Overall i had a great weekend, my mrs went shopping, i had a run, and the sun was out.Now to the race, on paper the course looked boring but i found it fine, i enjoyed the northern part the most.Now the problems, WATER, Half a cup just isnt enough, even if you took 2 cups most of it would of been spilled within a mileLUCOZADE I started the race with a full bottle to sip on, and was looking forward to another bottle at 14 mile, but what do we get? half a cup of fizzy locozade.I think most people will have a few complaints about this race but for me the big problem was a lack of communication.If id known about the lack of fuel and water i would of carried my own but as we were told it would be available i trusted the organisers.I did enjoy the 2 lap course and will probably come back next year as this is a great PB course, but i will carry my own fuel.Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Not as flat as you think, but great fun nonethelessIn full: A nice 2 lap race around Blackpool, not as flat as you might imagine, but flatter than most marathons. Loads of water stations and good orgnisation. Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Great weather, route and PB potential. Pencilled in for next year.In full: Having run three Great North West half-marathons previously I knew the northern section of the route which allowed for focusing on the running. The southern section, past the Tower and the Golden Mile, provided more spectators and interesting views such as party-goers recovering from the night before which helped pass the time!Well organised with no real issues. Carried my own Lucozade Sport and gels to prepare for Ironman UK in August and was glad I did as traditional Lucozade is not for me. Otherwise plenty of water with friendly marshalls who provided some encouragement especially at the turn-around points.Enjoyed the two-lap course as it allowed for keeping to a specific pace. It was not as flat as I thought with a few undulations but these just made the run more interesting. The two laps also allowed my family to see me more often rather than just start and finish - my six year old son enjoyed jogging alongside me a couple of times during the race. He also completed the final 50 metres with me and loved being applauded by the spectators near the finish!!Only minor point for me was the lack of chip-timing as my PB would have been improved by a further 45 seconds. However, I do understand why it is not used on a race of this size. I should just be more positive and start further forward than I usually do!Overall, a race I really enjoyed and, depending on my race calendar, one I will be doing again in the future.Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Terrible organisation!In full: This was my first marathon so in fairness i dont have anything else to compare it with - only what i have been told by friends of other races. I realise that you cant please everyone and some people love a good moan, but i am genuinly not one of those people (you will not believe me by the end of this review though!). There were so many things wrong with this race that i dont really know where to start apart from saying that this is the worst organised race i have ever been in. I am going to make a list of everything rubbish about this race because i really think that the organisers should realise where they should change things for next year - or people who are applying for next year should have some idea of what they are getting themselves in to!1. The water situation was terrible - regardless of the half filled cups, it was that they were positioned at the turning points of the route, where as had they been a mile or two futher up the track there would have been double the chances for runners to refuel and no extra hassle at all for the water people - rather than essentially only have three half cups of water for a 13 mile last lap of the marathon.2. To get the race number, and confirmation that you are in the race only two days before is ridiculous. A reply to any one of my emails saying that i have a confirmed place would have been appreciated.3. The information we were given states that toilets are available on the route (and that we would have to pay to use them!), which i suppose is true - we were free to use any one of the public toilets in Blackpool and queue with the tourists like anyone else. If you didnt use the toilets at the start finish - this was your only option. Luckily i had been to Blackpool before so had an idea of where i could go - some poor people were knocking on the doors of B&Bs to use their facilities.4. The last few miles were terrible - for obvious reasons of course, but mainly because the route had us run the last part down a path that consisted of a concrete wall and the shore, this is very demoralising and most people just gave up and walked at the this point because there was no support from spectators (because nobody knew were were down there) and there wasnt anything to look at to take our mind off what we were doing. Apart from that steep ramp we had to run up right at the end - that was a lovely view.5. Who on earth had the bright idea of sending a young lad round on a bike for the last stretch to 'cheer us up'? This lad cycled next to exhausted runners for the last 5 miles or so making comments like 'ive been on my bike for an hour now and im knackered so i really know what you are going through' and 'you should be grateful for the tan you are getting today and not look so weary' etc etc. Im sure that in normal circumstances he is a perfectly nice person, but please, in future races dont send some child out on a bike to make patronising and annoying chit chat with runners who dont really have the energy to carry on small talk.I know you are all reading this thinking - she is a right moan, but i just feel that i should tell people the reality of this race. I spoke to one runner who said this was his first and last marathon because of the route / water / bad organisation and i think it is such a shame that people are being put off racing because of poor organisation. I can only assume that the organisers dont do any running themselves and so dont realise the reality of running a course like this. So apart from the fact i paid nearly 30quid for a race that doesnt offer a timing chip, a decent tshirt (i got an XL because they didnt have enough of the other ones) which as a size 6 woman is more of tent, enough water, toilets on the route or a proper sign at the start (how do i know when to start my watch? A bit of paint on the road isnt suitable with that many people running). So overall - poor valuable for money, poor organisation, poor facilities and poor you for having read my review and are now probably falling asleep with boredom!Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: good course.considering it was hot the were tight with water.Date of review: April 12, 2010
In short: Nice low key & friendlyIn full: Love this event and will definately do it next year but please do something about the water.Less than half full cups was a problem.The fizzy lucozade didnt stay down too well either.The marshalls and crowd at the finish were fantastic. Thanks to everyone.Date of review: April 12, 2010
In short: Not bad for a first-time marathon experienceDate of review: April 12, 2010
In short: My first ever Marathon, chose it for being so flat, wish I'd chosen one with a better atmosphereIn full: The route proved as flat (apart from a couple of ramps up and down to the lower proms) as I expected it to be. But I thought the atmosphere was sadly lacking, probably not helped by the finish being on the middle prom, below the main road & main prom where most of the public would have been. Also I think half the public will have been holidaymakers who were possibly more intimidated than supportive! Fairly scenic - nice running beside the sea, not as nice running passed all the tatty B&Bs & the gaudy merchandice shops. Personally I didn't mind having to do 2 laps along the same circuit. I would definately choose somewhere different if I was to run another marathon. Date of review: April 12, 2010
In short: no pb but an enjoyable morningIn full: only complaint was not recieving number until thursday before race then only had a day to sort out a hotel for the weekend.but what a great weekend i had ,blackpool is just blackpool, the medal is loud, t shirt fits, the event was well marshalled, and i am pleased i ran the blackpool marathon,well done to all who organised and helped out,Date of review: April 12, 2010

Watch for inauguration updates
Water issues raise questions
Arden Haner, Douglas
My subject today is water management and flood control.
Let me start at the beginning. The N.D. Legislature formed the State Water Commission in 1957. That law also set up water boards in each county with three members for each county appointed by the county commissioners. This was later changed to allow counties to go to five-member boards.
Water Law is in Chapter 61 if you go online. Under 61-01-04 the code addresses eminent domain. Key words are beneficial uses and least damage. Who created the idea that transferring a problem from Area A to Area B or C became a solution?
I will list a few: Devils Lake to Valley City; Canada to Minot 2011; Garrison Dam to Bismarck 2011; Rice Lake to Douglas and livestock operations in planning stage with approved funding from state.
How can our governor accept the transfer idea?
I'm sorry for getting so forgetful. The governor has been blindsided by a fellow from Minot who is related to a fellow from Bismarck who manages or controls every water board in the state. In fact this was the fellow who changed the law so that people who wanted to control a board could have their friends apply. Law says will apply. One happy family. In fact, at one time in Ward County a fellow from the old-folks home was appointed (with a recommendation).
I'll now touch on the flood of 2011 at Minot.
It really began in 2009. (Something like Ole when his barn caught on fire and he waited two hours to call for help.) In times of high precipitation, both rain and snow, self-serving leaders asked Canada to hold the extra water. Great for fishing in Canada. While this is being done the local water board and the Joint Water Board are all sleeping in the back room. Bad statement! Let's check and find out how much money was spent on dike repair or how many times they made adjustments to the operating plan during the three prior years. Understand they are all buddies covering each others' back (except one).
They start the 2011 flood with Burlington Dam closed and full, all gate wells are open with gates and pumps froze down and inoperable. All dead loops and holding areas were filled first. The city had no choice but to call Canada and ask them to hold the water and they tried. Mother Nature took over from there.
It is so bad in Ward County today that over half of the county is without representation on the water board the southern portion. Then they allow a contractor, who is related to a water board member, to come into my township and mitigate wetlands for DOT on the northeast tributary of Douglas Creek. No notice to the township. No hearing. My how things work. There is a member of the water board who works for DOT. Self-serving and happy family indeed.
I find it hard to believe that a region that needs water from the Missouri River is so busy trying to step on anyone who could help make it happen. It appears they are enjoying the wait.
The water board wasted one-half million dollars on recreation instead of flood control. Everyone is a loser.
Then they promoted building in the flood plain. Once the flood got a good start they went out and started building dikes that caused even more damage.
The public needs to know the WAWS is well on its way in one year and NAWS is dead still after 20 years. Who said it pays to fight? What if the local water board were to follow Century Code and work toward common good. I doubt if this board can ever abstain from threats to property owners.
If you analyze the secret meetings along with false charges against property owners and the altering of documents you will be surprised. One of these individuals has gone so far that all of Freedom Township is in the Souris River Flood Plain (Type A at elevation 2150). Compare this to the highest flow through Minot in 2011. What is the mentality?
I could go on but it won't change the end of the day. They moved to shrink the flood plain in 1995 and now they move to expand that line. They should settle on a line that makes a little sense.
I would like an answer to the question as to how moving a flooding problem to another area can be of beneficial use to the area you move it to?
In the past you needed a cost benefit ratio of 1 to 1 in order to start a project. Today they come with state funds and eminent domain. We used to need an environmental impact study and hold hearings. We used to check high water marks, old tree lines and old records including precipitation from the past.
An aquifer used to be considered to be a valuable resource to be protected for residential, industrial and irrigation uses. The Ward County Water Board has approved the project to pump Rice Lake to the Missouri River. This could include part of the aquifer.
At this point let me bring the rubber to the road. The distance to Douglas is 10 miles and the distance to Douglas Bay using Douglas Creek about 15 miles more through private property causing damages. The distance to an empty NAWS Pipeline is less than 11 miles and they could charge for pumping costs. This way you keep the fight in your own yard.

You did WHAT to the paper airplane contest?
Can Rarely Assume Something Happens
I got a disturbing letter the other day — yes, in an envelope in the mail — from my buddies at the Weisbrod Aircraft Museum.
It informed me that the museum would not be available on the second Saturday of June — the traditional date for the Fly Pueblo Paper Airplane Contest — because of some yada, yada, yada big event.
Seems the airplane contest "would not fit" with all the exciting activities being planned at the yada, yada, yada big event.
I did what you would expect I would do with the letter: Folded that puppy into a glider and sailed it toward the trash can.
Here's the deal: If it failed to hit the trash can, I would respond graciously and accept the offer contained within the letter to have the contest later this summer. That would be the adult thing to do.
If it went into the trash can, this would become an opportunity rather than a disappointment.
I make and throw very accurate planes after two decades of sponsoring this particular contest.
So, airport museum people, the time has come to part ways. I wish all of the sponsors of the yada, yada, yada big event the best of luck and regret that I wasn't considered to be a part of it. I want to thank the museum and particularly the Air Force Association for being faithful sponsors of the contest for all these years. I am truly grateful for that support.
That's not the point.
I admit that I was miffed that these plans progressed without so much as a phone call asking me how I thought the contest might "fit" into the yada, yada, yada big event.
Didn't happen.
There might have been somebody telling me: "They're about to snatch the date you have carved out for the contest over the past 10 years with a yada, yada, yada big event."
I should have been more vigilant. I should not have become complacent in thinking the museum would be available on the accustomed date. I should have nailed down the details.
I wasn't. I did. I didn't.
And now, I'm at a crossroads. Or cross-flight patterns, perhaps. Discarded like . . . well . . . what else? Some worn-out paper plane.
There was a reason I chose the second Saturday in June for the contest. Most kids are out of school by that time, but have not yet dispersed on summer vacations. What better time for a fun, kid-oriented event?
I thought back to the early days of the contest, when it was still new and fresh. It was more like occupy the premises than a corporate competition.
The first was on a windy Wednesday morning, and we set up like a flash mob in a corner of a parking lot at the airport. It was great fun.
One time we held it on a Thursday afternoon, because I could fit it into my schedule more easily, and we actually got great television coverage. It was during the lunch hour at the newly opened Convention Center, one of the first events held there.
Mostly, however, it has occurred on Saturdays, just because Saturdays are more fun than the other days of the week.
We've held it at the Buell Children's Museum, flying planes before the sod on the front lawn was installed.
We've held it at the Pueblo Chemical Depot, as part of a larger yada, yada, yada festival we were invited to attend. Enthusiastically invited.
We've held it at the Pueblo Zoo, where a turkey briefly wandered onto the course and nearly caused an animal rights issue.
Thinking back, it was a lot of fun to have the contest in a new location, with new challenges every year.
So here's the new deal . . .
I'm going to fling an idea out there with the immense intensity of the world-famous underhand, softball-pitch slingshot paper airplane toss (OK, that was actually something I made up one year, and isn't "world famous," but it should be) and see where it lands.
We will have the next airplane contest whenever and wherever you want it.
But . . . you have to really, really, really want it.
Consider this an invitation for bids.
You provide the place, and we'll bring people, paper, publicity and impromptu fun. All you have to do is promise not to treat us like an afterthought.
Toss us your ideas, and we'll see where it all comes down.
Send them to email@example.com. Or, mail potential paper airplanes to "You Did WHAT to the Paper Airplane Contest?, c/o Chris Woodka, PO Box 36, Pueblo, CO, 81002.

Twilight / ** (PG-13)Posted Saturday, November 22, 2008, at 11:29 AM
"Twilight", the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's hit vampire book series, hits Marshall this weekend. Is it worth the hype?
When did the vampire turn into a superhero? When I developed my love for them, they were creatures of bloodlust and sexuality. Now, instead of being creatures of horror, they've become some of fantasy. Wouldn't it be fun to be a vampire?! We used to think that too. That's always been part of their allure. But when they used to be a monster there was the taste of fear that went along with the desire. Today's vampires hold more in common with Superman than they do with Dracula.
"Twilight" became one of the year's most anticipated movies almost without anyone noticing. And now that it's here, I can see that flying in under the radar was probably better for the movie than everyone knowing what they were getting into ahead of time. Then, it may not have seemed worth the bother. Of course, the movie was adapted from the best selling novel by Stephanie Meyer, and I am very much out of the loop having not read it or any of the others in her vampire series. I'm sure it must work better on the page than it does on the screen, or there probably wouldn't be a movie.
The story involves a teenage girl, Bella (Kristen Stewart, "Jumper"), who moves in with her estranged father after not having visited him since she was a little girl. Her father (Billy Burke, "Untraceable") is the sheriff of a small town in Washington State, where the weather is perpetually overcast and cold. Bella doesn't fit in well at school, but soon gathers a small group of friends. But she can't seem to keep her attention off the outcasts of the school: the Cullen family. Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire") in particular strikes her fancy. She doesn't know what to make of his strange behavior toward her; but after he saves her life under more strange circumstances, they develop a tentative friendship.
They eventually fall in love and Edward must reveal his family's secret to Bella--they are a coven of vampires. The family patriarch, Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli, FX's "Damages"), has taught his clan to feed only off animal blood, although the temptation for human blood is strong. This detail is where much of the mythology of their story goes wrong. By breaking the bloodlust for human flesh the sin of vampirism is lost. They retain all of their superhuman powers of heightened strength and accelerated speed, some can even see into the future; but they are more like mutants with superpowers than monsters.
There are some monsters in this new vampire mythology. Another small coven of vampires has been ravaging the town by taking human victims and threatening to expose the Cullens's secret. When their tracker James (Cam Gigandet, FOX's "The OC") discovers a human in the midst of the Cullen clan, he becomes determined to kill Bella and start a battle between the two clans. So now a conflict that was once between the mortal world of morality and the undying temptations of sin has been relegated to a feud between two warring super-powered vampire clans. Humans have all but been eliminated from the equation, except as snacks.
The early passages of the movie play like some overcast and drizzling version of the newly revamped "90210". But even teen soaps like that have more teeth than this vampire flick. There is a sense of timidity throughout the movie. It's as if director Catherine Hardwicke ("Lords of Dogtown") doesn't want to offend anyone. Her depiction of the vampire's superpowers is standard and often too weak. Blurring their movement to show their speed is overdone and too often looks just plain goofy in this rather melodramatic context.
The lead actors do well enough in showing their rising passion for each other. But Melissa Rosenberg's script draws their courtship out for too long before getting to the meat of the issues of hanging out with vampires. I don't know how closely Rosenberg (a writer for the Showtime serial killer series "Dexter") follows Meyer's book, but their needs to be a stronger focus on the bad vampires. They are the threat to this small town, but we never get a chance to feel that.
I had my concerns about seeing a vampire movie that is rated PG-13. The sinful explorations of human temptation for which that the vampire myth was invented does not lend itself well to a light touch. I never expected that touch to be quite as soft spoken as it is here, though. Although these vampires can see their images in a mirror--I'm assuming since they walk around in daylight--there is really nothing there at all.

As a lover of the Twilight BOOKS, I can tell you that the movie was not like the book. Sure there was the same plot and basics, but all of the things that made the books so great, were completely left out. I can't believe Stephenie Meyer allowed this pile of garbage to be made. I went to the midnight showing on Thursday night and I just couldn't believe my eyes. After the movie was done, there were all of these people that were talking about how great the movie was, but they obviously didn't see the movie the way that I did. It's just like they did with Eragon. They turned a completely great book into something that was trash. If they were smart, they would stay away from making the rest of the Twilight series into movies. If you haven't seen the movie and you love the books, don't waste your time and money, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

As I understand it, Summit entertainment has already secured the rights and Melissa Rosenberg has already agreed to write the screenplays for New Moon and Eclipse. And Summit is in the process of securing the rights for Breaking Dawn. With a $35 million opening day, the two movies they've already started moving on are inevitable. And I'm sure Meyer will be upping her price for the fourth book before those rights get secure.
The opening day take alone almost paid for Summit's $37 million price tag for making the movie. They stand to make a lot of money off this series. They've said they want it to be their "Harry Potter". Ironically it was Warner Bros. decision to move the next "Harry Potter" to next summer that really allowed "Twilight" this shot at such a big box office take. It would not have done nearly as well, had it had to take on the popular wizard. So unfortunately, you will probably have to endure further disappointment with the series.

You really didn't like it? I thought some of the special effects (if you can call them that) were contrived but I enjoyed a great deal. Perhaps it was because I was projecting my interpretation of the characters onto the actors. I mean, they didn't have to do a Oscar-winning performance for me to enjoy it. Maybe my expectations were just set low and I came away feeling good.

No, I didn't. The simple version is that I was bored. If you think about it, nothing much happens in this movie. The threat to Bella doesn't really show up until late in the story, when James senses her during the baseball game. Then you finally get about 15 minutes of suspense while he hunts her down and the Cullens try to hide her. Up until that point it is pretty much all Bella and Edward trying to decide whether they can even really contemplate a relationship, and that issue isn't fully resolved at the end of the movie.
I think we needed to see much more of James and his coven. What little we are shown is hardly frightening as it consists mostly of the lame blurred action sfx.
Also, having not read the book, I didn't bring any of my own impressions of the characters to the movie. In the encouragingly packed house Friday night at the Marshall Cinema, I could tell most of the audience were fans of the book, since everytime a character walked on screen there was some form of vocal reaction. Dr. Carlisle Cullen had the loudest reaction. But people reacted even to Bella's human friends like Mike and Angela. But these characters were barely even treated as cameos. I'm sure the novel had much richer representations of everyone and can't imagine fans were satisfied with how little was seen of just about every character beyond Bella and Edward.
But even had it had spent less time on the romance and there been more action or more suspense, the biggest problem I had with the story was the way it abandoned the themes of sin and temptation that vampire mythology has always encompassed.

Knight Time Players

This play, which is a great way to start the holiday season, revolves around a rag-tailed group of children called the Herdmans. They are dirty, rambunctious and not so nice sometimes. They hear there are refreshments at Sunday school, so they arrive just in time to take over the annual Christmas pageant. The play is full of laughter and touching moments.
Go Knights
Thank you to all in the Sugar Grove community who came out on Friday, Nov. 8 for the Eisenhower Knights football team send-off. The team bus stopped at 4:30 p.m. in town on Friday on its way to the playoff game in Corry,. A large crowd was on hand to greet the team with signs, balloons, and loud cheers. A number of area dignitaries were also on hand. School board members, our Sugar Grove Borough mayor and mayor-elect, township supervisors and more all took the time to shake hands with each member of the team and congratulate them on a great season.
A huge thank you to the Sugar Grove Volunteer Fire Department which escorted the team in style with numerous horns and sirens from the school all the way to Corry High School. They were also joined en route by the state police as well as the Bear Lake Fire Department.

Commissioners give BCHS, SWCD budget hikes
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners approved small budget increases Thursday for the Brown County Historical Society (BCHS) and Brown Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) at budget review sessions.
Director Bob Burgess said the BCHS expects more than the typical 7,000 annual visitors this year with the high number of U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 commemorative events going on for the second straight year.
"We've got a number of building repairs and updates to do, some of which we'll do ourselves," Burgess said. "New storage units with more capacity will save us walk-in space. It'll be the most cost-effective walk-in space, we'll ever get."
The BCHS request included an hourly wage increase of less than 2 percent, that would be the organization's first hourly pay hike since 2006.
The BCHS requested $86,304 for its 2014 budget, $3,875 more than it was appropriated in 2013. Commissioners compromised with a 3 percent hike, $84,902. Another $3,275 in "pass-through funds" will be used to maintain Searles and Oak Ridge cemeteries.
The Brown SWCD requested $99,490 for 2014. It was allocated $80,000 this year. Commissioners agreed on a $82,400 2014 budget.
In the past year, the SWCD did 44 CREP (Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program) spot checks and RIM (Reinvest in Minnesota) easements for compliance with program rules and regulations. Tree orders were distributed to 45 clients.
The Brown SWCD and NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) worked together on federal and state conservation programs for local landowners.
The district cooperates with NRCS to provide local landowners with information and technical assistance needed to be eligible for federal programs, enabling $41,872 in EQIP funds to be distributed in Brown County. There are now $86,539 in obligated EQIP contracts for 2013 installation.
Funding for EQIP includes conservation tillage, grass waterways, agriculture waste management systems, terraces, water and sediment control basins and other Best Management Practices (BMPs).
In addition, the SWCD is working with other organizations to help manage Lake Hanska water quality.
Commissioners maintained $1,200 annual funding for the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
"We're a business development organization for businesses and individual contractors. We don't do economic development," SBDC Director Michael Nolan said. "We service 25 to 30 clients a month, half of which want to start new businesses. We get them on the right track. Most bigger business accounts in financial trouble come from banks. They usually need help with their books, so we put together plans to get them back on their feet."
Nolan said businesses interested in selling out should contact the SBDC four or five years before they plan to sell.
"There are nine ways to sell a business, eight more than I earlier thought there were," Nolan said. "A retired banker is working for us on a fairly large Brown County employer at no charge to the client. I won't tell you who it is unless the client wants it known."
Nolan said fee-based, SBDC classroom training is available. It begins with business cash flow and profit and loss statements.
"Everyone raves about our programs," Nolan added. "We pay people to do our consulting. Never say never. We have good friends at the Minnesota Legislature and in other public and private places."
Bridging Brown County (BBC), which has graduated 185 Brown County residents including 21 Brown County employees from its leadership program since fall 2003, asked for $4,000 in 2014. It was allocated $3,500 in 2013. Commissioners agreed on $3,250 for BBC for 2014.
Brown County Agriculture Society President Lucy Gluth said her organization has paid off all its loans after receiving restitution from a court case involving a former Ag Society treasurer.
"We added more bleachers for demolition derbies," Gluth said. "We're improving lighting and saving energy with LED lights and planning more improvements like that."
Gluth said she got lots of compliments from people about gospel singing events held during the recent Brown County Free Fair.
"We've got people who have been doing this work for 20 to 30 years," Gluth said. "We like what we're doing and spend lots of time on it, but we need new board members too."
She requested and received approval of $28,500 for the 2014 budget.
Budget amounts are subject to final approval at a final levy certification meeting in December.

Missing: No reason for Hancock-area man's disappearance
Special deer hunts expand opportunities for hunters with disabilities/Inside the DNR
It's that time of year again when hunting plans start to firm up and red X's begin to fill calendar pages as the various season openers are nearly upon us.
For some deer hunters, this year's calendar may look a bit different than those of past years. In short: Don't panic when you don't see the youth deer hunt or disabled veteran hunts on the list when reviewing this year's hunting season dates. Those opportunities still exist, but have been revamped and renamed for 2013.
The September deer hunt previously known as the "Youth and 100 percent disabled veterans hunt" has been renamed the Liberty Hunt. This special two-day season, which takes place the weekend of Sept. 21-22, is open to youth hunters 16 years of age or younger, as well as hunters with disabilities who meet one of the following criteria:
Is a veteran who has been determined to be 100 percent disabled or rated as unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Has been issued a permit by the DNR to hunt from a standing vehicle;
Has been issued a permit by the DNR to hunt using a laser-sighting device;
Is legally blind as defined by law
These criteria were recently modified by the Natural Resources Commission to include more hunters with disabilities and provide additional hunting opportunities for those hunters. Youth participation in the Liberty Hunt is subject to the same guidelines as in the past.
The special October hunt formerly known as the 100 percent disabled firearm hunt also has a new name: The Independence Hunt. The eligibility criteria for this hunt on Oct. 17-20 are the same as for the Liberty Hunt, which will allow more hunters with disabilities to qualify for participation in this early firearm hunt.
For complete details on the Liberty and Independence hunts, check pages 26 and 30 in the 2013 Hunting and Trapping Digest.
Additional items of interest for September:
The Otter Lake Boating Access Site will be temporarily closed from Monday through Friday next week while DNR Parks and Recreation staff work on repairs and updates. The closure is concurrent with Houghton County's drawdown of Otter Lake in order to inspect and repair the dam.
Deer hunters no longer have to wait until Nov. 5 to place their ground blinds on public land. Ground blinds may now be placed on public land from Sept. 1 until the day after the deer hunting season closes, which is consistent with the rules that were already in place for hunting platforms/tree stands.
The sale of wolf hunting licenses has been delayed until Sept. 28, allowing DNR licensing staff additional time to test the licensing system and make any changes necessary to ensure the system can handle the anticipated sales volume. A total of 1,200 licenses will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at noon on Sept. 28; purchases can be made over-the-counter or online through the DNR's e-license system.
The Weekly Fishing Report is now available by phone at a toll-free number: 855-777-0908. The report is updated each Thursday and is also available by email subscription or on the DNR's website at www.michigan.gov/fishingreport.
The new Ottawa Eastern Connector (EC) ORV Route opened at the end of August. The 70-mile ORV route runs north-south through Ontonagon, Houghton and Iron counties, connecting riders with the existing Bill Nicholls, Iron River to Marenisco, and central Bergland to Sidnaw routes, while also providing access to local communities and business establishments along the way.
Antlerless license drawing results are now available online at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings, along with a list of remaining public and private land licenses in each Deer Management Unit. Leftover licenses will go on sale over-the-counter beginning Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 10 a.m.

To the layman, it looks like a hole in a box. But to the Keystone Light drinker, it's CANHOLE, a completely self-contained cornhole game that utilizes the packaging and crushed cans to deliver hours of fun.
