ON TV: ABC – WTVA, noon
MONTGOMERY, Ala – This weekend isn't all fun and games to Ashton Shumpert.
The Itawamba AHS 4-star recruit hasn't committed, or even narrowed down his list of 10 scholarship offers and don't expect him to today.
Shumpert and the Mississippi All-Stars' focus is to end Alabama's win streak in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic.
"Some people try to say they're not beatable this year because they've got some real good players," said Shumpert. "But I believe we can beat them."
The 26th annual game is scheduled for a 12:07 p.m. kickoff today at Montgomery's Cramton Bowl.
Alabama has won four straight in the series and 12 of the last 14.
There are again plenty of stars and big-time recruits on Alabama's side.
One of those is Muscle Shoals' defensive lineman Dee Liner, the nation's No. 2 strong side defensive end, behind only Robert Nkemdiche, the country's top overall recruit.
Mississippi head coach Junior Graham joked this week about vetoing assistant coach Jamie Mitchell's plan to throw the ball 40 times during the game. Graham has seen plenty of Shumpert to assure he'll be a big part of the effort to end Alabama's streak.
"Shumpert is probably stating in the backfield, driving the bus, you name it," Graham said. "That guy, he's gonna play. We feel good about our running backs. Ashton may have separated from the rest of them."
loaded backfield
The Mississippi backfield is loaded. It also features the state's new single-season touchdown record holder in Noxubee's Darrell Robinson, speedy Charleston back Kameron Myers and West Bolivar's Kailo Moore, a shaky Mississippi State verbal.
Mississippi State has another verbal in Mississippi's defensive side, Houston defensive end Chris Jones. Jones has impressed coaches and players all week. The 6-foot-7, 280-pounder graced the front page of ESPN's recruiting site on Friday.
Ole Miss can watch its future Rebels as well, including Eupora receiver Derrick Jones and Alabama linebacker Rashawn Smith of Florence.
"They are extremely focused. When we have meetings, they're very receptive. We're treating them more like a team of ours back home," Graham said. "We're coaching them hard. They want to win."

What are Brad Smith's chances with Bills now?
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2013 8:53AM
With the news that Buffalo Bills wide receiver Brad Smith has renegotiated his contract, that obviously increases his odds of making the 53-man roster in 2013. Just because he renegotiated his contract however, it doesn't mean safety is guaranteed just yet.
Looking at the wide receiver position, there seem to be four locks for the roster. Stevie Johnson, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and T.J. Graham all are most likely going to take up the first four spots on the wideout depth chart.
Past the initial four names though, there are four names likely fighting for two spots. With as many young, enigmatic receivers as the Bills have, it's probably a safe bet that the team keeps six spots for the position.
Along with Smith, Da'Rick Rogers, Chris Hogan and Marcus Easley will be in competition for those two spots.
However, Rogers is the clear cut favorite to land one of the spots. With all off-the-field concerns considered, he has clear physical talent that the other three listed simply do not have. As long as he keeps his head on straight during training camp, he should be a good bet to make it on to the roster.
The sixth spot then comes down to Smith, Hogan and Easley. With due respect to the fans that are still holding out hope on Easley's potential, he's the hidden man of the competition at this point. Unless he really comes out and performs at a high level, he's got an uphill climb to make the roster outright.
That means it comes down to the recently renegotiated Smith, and the former
Hard Knocks
star Hogan. During spring practices, Hogan seemed to outperform Smith -- but that was without the physicality that a normal training camp practice would present.
Smith has a clear advantage over Hogan in part because the latter still has practice squad eligibility. As long as they can sneak him past waivers, he could become the 7th man of the receiver group but just not on the active roster.
Combine that with the renegotiated deal, it could be too much for Hogan to overcome. It certainly looks now like Smith is a favorite to make the roster, but don't book it just yet.

Gayle King | Talking Your Tech
NEW YORK — Longtime broadcaster Gayle King, a co-host of CBS This Morning, is the first to say she's "technically challenged." But she used an app to track down her lost iPhone recently, and sleeps every night with a Jawbone Up health and fitness bracelet.
King, an editor-at-large for best bud Oprah Winfrey's O magazine, met us in the green room recently at CBS This Morning to talk tech.
STORY: Norah O'Donnell uses gadgets for work and play
"I've always been a bad sleeper, and I was curious just how bad it was." CBS This Morning executive producer Chris Licht suggested the Up bracelet, which monitors your pulse to track sleep — as well as steps taken during the day, and food eaten, via a USB connection to an Android or iPhone. She's averaging four hours of sleep, and likes that with the Up, she can discover that one night she had 1 hour and 15 minutes of light sleep, 2 hours and 46 minutes of deep sleep and that she woke up one time during the night. "Is it good to know?... at least I'm thinking about it. Before I never thought about it, so that's good."
Gayle KIng | Using the Jawbone Up | Talking Your Tech Bonus
After years of her just using a BlackBerry, CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose bought her an iPhone5. It is housed in a special yellow case (her favorite color) with her initials monogrammed on it. She named it "Charlotte" in honor of Rose.
She recently misplaced Charlotte and took advantage of the "Find my iPhone" app to retrieve the device on 57th Street and Eighth Avenue, in front of the Hearst building, home to O magazine.
"I'm here to tell you it works."
She recently discovered Shazam, which identifies song information when held up to a radio or TV. "I was watching a piece about anchor Robin Roberts on Good Morning America and this pretty song was playing." She held the phone up to the TV, learned it was by Mandisa, bought it and transferred it to her iPod.
She has nearly 700,000 followers on Twitter, even in the face of very infrequent Tweets. She was silent on Twitter for several weeks because she had trouble signing in with her BlackBerry, and also fretted that she had little to say. "I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great." On the tech side, "I wish I wasn't so technically challenged, because it puts you at a distinct disadvantage. I wish I could figure out a way to get more up to speed."
Her friend Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, N.J., "tweets too much, and I tell him that all the time." Booker, with 1.3 million Twitter followers, "is a master tweeter, a Twitter genius. You know what he would say to me? Gayle, stop talking. I know what I'm doing."
King is partnered with Booker in his next-generation video website, #waywire, for which she's an investor.
"Telephone and e-mail. We don't text a lot."
"People respond faster to you on a text than an e-mail. Why is that? Why will they ignore an e-mail, but get back to a text?"
"I wish there was something where you could blink an eye and be somewhere. I'm a very nervous flier. I wish we could get from point A to point B instantly. Tell somebody to do that."

|2| Bad
|1| Terrible
And the difference between a seal and just stealing it outright is what? whether it's still in your body or not? Or whether the enemy can use it or not? Either way this can't end well for the captains.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I hope the captains don't somehow win now, even though their bankais are stolen. I forget the names, but there's a few captains who can use hollow masks and bankai. You'd assume they'd be able to put in a good fight Vs the Quincy.
Far too awesome for your eyes!
wow those Quincy just got a power boost in the form of the first lot of Bankai we saw in the series... looks like an awesome set up to reveal the remaining Bankai of the other Captains to me
I wonder what is that device they used? they steal it then what? use it or augment it to strengthen themselves? This is how is i see the captains who rely too much on bankai can be defeated... the others are still 50/50 except for the uber strong
sig made by me
See ? I told you that they will need a bankai-power level to defeat the quincy ? Still I was hoping that they can reach it without using bankais...like kanpachi... oh well.
Ah those Quincy, if you do not have the might, just steal it, heh, to think that their Angel Mode was powered by Shinigami Banaki, I should have noticed it earlier (this is based one the fact that none of them have a glove, like the one that Ichigo is fighting, but all have the same symbol).
Still, I wonder if the bankai fades after the Angel Mode ends, like how a Quincy's power fades after the Last Stance(?).
No, they didn't just "steal" the Bankai.
You just gave the Bankai away >_>
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
There plan backfired because of two reasons, well it originated from one. MISINFORMATION!!!
1) They relied on sasakibe's report about sealing bankai at his dying breath. Sasakibe also must have misunderstood what they did or he can't fully disclose it since he was in the verge of dying
2) I remember mayuri concluding at the captains meeting regarding sasakibe's words that the quincies are able to block bankai
No mention of the possibility of Stealing it - if this is the correct translation. Waiting for mangastream
Byakuya's plan along with the 4 were guided by misinterpretation and misinformation. They were foolish to be that careless; well no matter what regardless if they didn't use bankai they will be defeated. Byakuya even knows this, without bankai they'll definitely lose. Only the old captains, maybe the hollow powered captains might stand a chance, also a powerhouse like zaraki who fights without bankai. His reiatsu alone could break everything
The thing i like about this is that we don't get to see more of those 4 bankai's fight again and again. I'm fed up with watching their bankai all over again for like the 10th time. Glad to see they are sealed. Still i believe they can retrieve it. Kubo would not allow this guys to remain bankailess for the entire 9 years. Especially histugaya as he stated that hitsugaya's bankai would mature later on in the series
but even though their bankais have been stolen i swear its only meant to obey them....
He Who Speaks Without An Attentive Ear Is Mute.

A wide spectrum of activities is covered by permits. While the Division of Management Authority focuses on regulating international movement of species protected under CITES, it also issues permits under other domestic and international laws and treaties.
The Branch of Permits issues permits primarily for the import and export species that are protected by CITES. In addition, some examples of other activities we permit are: take of certain marine mammals; take and interstate and foreign commerce of non-native species protected by the Endangered Species Act, including a captive-bred wildlife registration; cooperative breeding programs for live exotic birds covered by the Wild Bird Conservation Act; and import and transport of injurious wildlife.
Through the permitting process valuable data are gathered, shared, and used to monitor and manage trade of animals and plants.

The Basics of Creating a New Layout from START to FINISH!:
- I scrap 90% of my layouts in a size of 11x8.5 , so this is the Width and Height I chose. But this is simply a personal preference. If you will be doing 12x12 (or any other size) you would type that in for the width and height instead.
- If you plan on printing your layout, you MUST set the Resolution to 300. This is the minimum DPI (dots per inch) for print quality...otherwise, when printed, your layout will appear pixely and/or blurry. However, if you're creating something that will be used only on the web, you can set the Resolution to 72. This makes your file much smaller therefore doesn't use unecessary space on your hardrive.
- Set your color mode to RGB and 8 bit.
- I usually set my Background Contents to white, but you can also set it to Transparent or another background color. I use white simply because until I get my paper on my layout, the checkerboard background of a Transparent is very distracting to me. Plus... sometimes I like my photo and text so much on a white background, I simply leave it that way. :)
- Also... if you plan on doing a lot of layouts in this particular size, once you get everything filled in, you can click on Save Preset and Photoshop will remember your settings. This way, when you go to start another layout, you can simply pull down your drop menu beside Preset and choose your size.
3.) Now... we have our new document open and we are ready to choose a photo to scrap. The first thing you want to do is to go to the top right of your new document and click the Restore Down button.
7.) Now with your move tool, grab the blue strip on the top of your photo screen and move it over so you can see both screens.
10.) For those of you using a size of 11x8.5, choose your Move Tool. Then run your mouse over one of the corners of your paper. (Your cursor should change to a double-sided arrow.) Now hold down your SHIFT key (very important!), then click and hold and pull the corner in toward the center until the vertical sides of the paper line up with your document. (*NOTE: holding down your SHIFT key will ensure that anything you resize will keep its proper proportions.) Once you get the paper sized right, click on the Check Mark at the top of your screen:
11.) Now, to get your photo back on top of your paper, go to your layers palette at the bottom right of your screen. Click and hold your paper layer and drag it underneath your photo layer.
12.) Now you can click on your photo layer to make it active and then refer to step 9 above to resize your photo if you like. Here's what your layout should look like now:
14.) Now, follow steps 3 through 8 again to add a frame and any other embellishments you wish.
- Closer to the bottom, you will find your foreground color which is the color square on top and is what determines the color of your font. Choose your desired color by clicking on that square and picking a color.
If you wish to edit your text after you have clicked the check mark, just choose your Text Tool again and click anywhere on your text to make your changes.
24.) Choose your PSD Pages folder, name your file, and then make sure the Format indicates .psd and then click Save.
25.) You will probably get a Maximum Compatibility window that pops up, just make sure it's checked and click OK.
26.) Now, we're going to save our high resolution .jpg file. Again, go to File and choose Save As. Then, choose your JPGS folder, name your file and pull down the drop down menu beside Format and choose JPG, then click Save.
27.) Once you click Save, a window will pop up called JPEG Options. For my high res .jpgs, I always save it at atleast 10... just to make sure the print quality is really good. Then click OK.
28.) The last version you will save is your low res .jpg for posting to the web. The first thing you need to do is resize your image from 300 dpi to 72 dpi. Go to Image and choose Image Size...
29.) Then when your Image Size window pops up, change it to these settings (in this order) and then click OK. (*NOTE: If you are saving a 12x12 layout, the Width and the Height will both be 600.)
30). Now, last time... go to File and choose Save As. Then, choose your LOW RES jpgs folder, name your file and pull down the drop down menu beside Format and choose JPG, then click Save.
31.) Now when your JPEG Options window comes up, change the Quality to somewhere between 6 and 8. This should take your file down to a size of 150KB or lower. Then just click OK.
GUESS WHAT??!! YOU'RE DONE!!!!! You have just completed a layout from start to finish. Now, go post it in your favorite gallery (my favorite is at Oscraps!!) and show it off!!!
I'd LOVE to know what you think of this tutorial!! Please feel free to leave comments! If you have any questions regarding this tutorial, you can certainly email me at email@example.com.

Portable beveling tool head removes boiler tube membrane, overlay
Esco Tool has introduced a new, patented membrane and overlay removal head to fit several of its MILLHOG® beveling end prep tools.
The head features proprietary inserts shaped like golf tees, rather than screws, that can be rotated to use their 360-degree cutting edges. Capable of removing boiler tube membrane and overlay while beveling simultaneously, the head handles tubes from 0.875 to 3 in. OD.
As the head rotates, the holding forces of the inserts are multiplied to help minimize vibration and heat. The inserts tap into place and are removed the same way.

After the big bang of Japan's Abenomics, the country's surging stock market could start to drift. That, at any rate, is what already appears to be happening.
The Nikkei 225 fell 9 points in July — a tiny, fractional loss — for its third straight monthly decline. The index still finished July with a 31% year-to-date gain.
If the big bang turns into the big drift, you could also expect the yen to hover in place, and perhaps even appreciate. To S&P Capital IQ's Todd Rosenbluth and Geoffrey Mrema, more drifting, and less surging, seems likely for Japan's stocks.
In which case, they argue, the way to go for investors seeking exposure to the country is iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (EWJ) instead of WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity (DXJ).
Here's why: Whereas the WisdomTree ETF was just about perfectly positioned for the go-go Nikkei of late 2012 and early 2013, the iShares fund is attuned to the period that preceded it.
This unhedged fund, unlike WisdomTree, tends to benefit from yen strength. It's got less of an exporter tilt than the WisdomTree fund. And its stock holdings skew larger — with an average market cap of $5 billion versus $2 billion for DXJ — and have bigger helpings of domestically oriented industries, such as telecommunications.
S&P doesn't review it, but don't forget Maxis Nikkei 225 Index Fund (NKY). This ETF is more for Nikkei purists: It's the only one specifically tracking the well-known Japanese stock index.

So a Tug of War with an actual army... sounds fun and unfair at the same time, since they simply gang up upon one person .
So, albino Obito with red fire...
It's interesting how on the color page Hashirama and Madara are shown facing each other(between them is Obito as their fusion), while Naruto and Sasuke stand back-to-back.
Man, Kishi should seriously do the spin-off with the alternative dimension Obito ;D. I actually wonder if the event of Obito (an Uchiha) becoming a Hokage wouldn't perhaps force Madara to rethink his plan ?

|In response to Re: Options for Sewer Line Slope
A good plumber should know how to install a "flat" ruffin that does not use the long sweep 1/4 bend. This can often be installed with a very minimal depth beneath the slab's surface.
: I am planning an addition to the back of my house (in San Jose, CA) that includes a full bathroom. The foundation for the addition is concrete slab with peremeter footings. I am looking for options to get enough slope fall for the sewer line. I was hoping to connect to the sewer line at a clean out at the back of my house. There currently is a concrete patio over the pipe. As far as I can tell (without digging) the end of the pipe is 3 inch diameter and is 12 to 15 inches below grade. The bathroom is 40 to 44 feet away from the clean out. Using the 1/4" per foot slope requirement for 3" dia. pipe will require 11 inches of fall for this line. This does not include the height of the long sweep that is required for the toilet. I know 4" dia. pipe allows for a 3/16" to 1/8" per foot slope. It does not make sense to neck down to a 3" dia. pipe. Can I find a low height toilet and build a pedestal to raise it up. I would also have to raise the shower pan. I have heard of sewage power ejection systems. Is this a reasonable solution?

Not sure if this belongs in this section; I posted it in full size cans and got one response in over a week! Didn't seem right so.......
So I've convinced myself that I need new cans. I have D7000's and love them, but as usual with this hobby, the question is: "but what would it sound like if I got _____?" SO, based on what I heard at a meet a couple of years back, I've narrowed it down to the Fostex TH900 (which I feel I'm guaranteed to like if not love), the HD800, or JVC's elusive DX2000 (but I'm not holding my breath).
Here's the thing: I loved the sound of the HD800's. The mids were SO neutral, the soundstage was awesome, and I don't remember the treble, but I DO remember I didn't find it fatigueing like some people do. I listened to them on a Gilmore Lite amp and DACmagic and thought it was great, but just not enough bass for what I listen to: rock. I've seen the Anaxilus mod, and while I have no problem trying it, I really doubt it will give me what I want, which is: D7000 level of bass quantity. Or more. I just can't live without plenty of bass, so I'm thinking, maybe I do an HD800 with a Behringer DEQ2496, and just EQ in extra bass DIGITALLY (before the DAC)?? I have ZERO interest in playing around with trying a hundred different amps, tube rolling, or playing with different cables. If I go HD800, it's strictly the stock cable, I'll try the Anaxilus mod, and I'm only going to use my Audio GD amp/DAC. No tubes or cables for me. Sorry. Not being difficult or ignorant, just my preference.
If I go Fostex TH900, I have no doubt they're wonderful, but can I get that sweet HD800 midrange from them? I don't know, and I really can't afford to buy both and see. However, TH900 costs about the same as HD800 + EQ, so cost isn't the issue if I'm buying just one. And I don't care about open vs. closed and disturbing others. Comfort isn't an issue either, as both are supremely comfortable. This is strictly about sound, and the real concern is bass from the HD800.
Any opinions either way (from people that really KNOW)? Again, NO interest in trying different cables or tubes (sorry), and no interest in any other cans. I've owned or listened to and disliked basically everything else possible except for Audeze which I have no interest in for a number of reasons.
Discuss...... =D
PS: my D7000's will be for sale soon, solely because of the OCD that is this hobby.

In a possible first-round playoff preview the Rangers went about their business and protected home ice in fine fashion Wednesday night, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 at Madison Square Garden. The win was New York's season-high fifth in a row, lifting the Rangers three points clear of the Flyers for second place in the Metropolitan Division, though Philly does have two games in hand.
"Obviously both teams knew the importance of this game as far battling for a playoff spot, battling for playoff position," explained Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault postgame. "For us this was a real important game before we leave on this four-game road trip here, and our guys were ready."
Henrik Lundqvist nearly picked up his sixth shutout of the season, but Jakub Voracek beat him with a slap shot at 18:07 of the third period with the teams skating four-on-four to make the score 3-1. Lundqvist finished the night with 30 saves and earned his 30th win of the season. It was the eighth time in his career Lundqvist has topped 30 victories. The only season in his career he failed to do so was during the lockout-shortened 48-game season of a year ago.
The Rangers fourth line accounted for two of the team's three goals--as both Derek Dorsett and Dominic Moore scored. Ryan McDonagh also found the back for the Blueshirts, who have now beaten the Flyers eight straight times on Garden ice, including twice this season.
"We know what the standings are at this point of the year," said McDonagh. "Most teams have games in hand on us right now, but it's a matter of continuing to climb and continuing to get points. This was another big win."
Though the first and second periods were opposites as far as the Rangers were concerned, there was one key similarity--the Rangers scored once in each period and the Flyers were held scoreless. Outshot 15-6 and outchanced in the opening 20 minutes of play, the Rangers still held a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes; and in the second period the Rangers stretched their lead to 2-0 while holding a commanding 17-10 shots advantage.
The constants in each period for the Rangers were the stellar play of Lundqvist and diligent hard work leading to each goal. Lundqvist was exceptionally sharp, especially in that opening 20 minutes when the Flyers fought their way to the blue paint with regularity and then closed out the period with five shots on goal during their first power play opportunity. In the second period he made his best save of the game, robbing Adam Hall on a point-blank put-back at 14:37 after his initial stop on Michael Raffl's hard right-wing shot.
Dorsett scored the only goal of the first period, while McDonagh netted the lone tally in the second. Dorsett worked his way from behind Philly's net to the front and collected Brian Boyle's shot in the low slot, wheeling a backhand shot past goaltender Steve Mason at 8:41 of the first to give New York a critical 1-0 lead. The goal was Dorsett's fourth of the season, and first since December 20th.
"I feel like I got my confidence back," said Dorsett, who missed two months of action with a fractured leg and only recently has earned more consistent time back in the lineup. "Confidence is a big thing in this game, and obviously tonight it was big to get that one (goal)."
That the fourth line produced two goals Wednesday night for the Rangers was only fitting as for the second straight contest Dorsett, Boyle, and Moore wreaked havoc on the opposition shift after shift, playing physically, creating prime scoring chances, and grinding down the other team.
McDonagh made a scintillating play to score a highlight-reel goal 5:34 into the second period to give New York a 2-0 lead. As the Flyers attempted to clear the puck up the middle of the ice, McDonagh sprinted from the neutral zone to intercept the puck before it could cross the blue line. McDonagh then skated a bit to his right and wired a wicked shot up and over Mason's blocker for his 14th goal of the season, extending his point streak to five consecutive games in the process.
"He's amazing right now to watch," Lundqvist said of McDonagh. "He's such a great skater, and he's so confident right now, plus he's making some great reads out there. It's impressive."
Vigneault heaped more praise on McDonagh when meeting with reporters postgame, adding that, "He's got to be getting some consideration for the Norris (Trophy) for the way he's playing offensively and defensively. He's obviously been one of our best players all season."
Dominic Moore deflected Kevin Klein's slap shot off Mason and just over the goal line at 7:39 of the third period to give New York a 3-0 lead. The goal was Moore's sixth of the season.
With Chris Kreider missing the game due to a hand injury, Marty St. Louis took his spot on the line with Derek Stepan and Rick Nash, with that threesome generating several excellent scoring opportunities. J.T. Miller was recalled from Hartford to take Kreider's spot in the lineup and played on a line with Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello.
For the third straight game John Moore was scratched as he recovers from concussion symptoms. Raphael Diaz took his spot in the lineup once again and played well---starting off with three blocked shots and three hits in the first period.
The Rangers will now embark on a four-game road trip that begins Friday night in Calgary, then continues through Edmonton, Vancouver, and Colorado.

Great lug sole flatform option
"This sandal is such a steal. It have that great minimalist white sole look, with comfort to boot. I can't believe how many compliments I got on it this past summer. I am going to buy another pair at this clearance price since I wore my first pair down with so many wears. It's very versatile, and the leather straps stretch nicely to fit your foot. It they get too loose in the back by the heel, you can simply adjust them with the buckle and strap. A summer sandal must have for your minimalist chic looks."

Jon Stewart is mad as hell, and he's not going to take it. On Monday night's Daily Show, Stewart turned to the growing scandal at the Veterans Affairs Department over VA hospitals reportedly manipulating their waiting lists to hide long delays in treating military veterans. The long waits at the VA is one of Stewart's causes, and he let loose on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, President Obama, and everyone in the previous administration for half-heartedly expressing their outrage over various delays while failing to solve this festering problem.
"Here's what disgusts me," Stewart said. "We as a country were able to ship 300,000 troops halfway across the world in just a few months to fight a war that cost us $2 trillion" in under-the-table cash, but "it takes longer than that to get someone hurt in that war needed medical care or reimbursement." Stewart's broader case isn't airtight — is the problem really that politicians and bureaucrats aren't acting like angry feral cats? — but this charge is a really good one with no great answer. --Peter Weber
On Sunday's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver took aim at President Donald Trump's cozy relationship with Russia. "He does have a weird, noticeably soft spot for both the country and its leader," Oliver said, hammering the point home with a compilation video of the numerous times Trump has complimented, praised, or otherwise flattered Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"It's a bit weird," Oliver says. "You've been objectively nicer to Vladimir Putin than you have to Meryl Streep."
But the real meat of the segment is in analyzing what we actually know about Putin ("He annexed Crimea, imposed severe fines and long prison terms on protesters, propped up the brutal Assad regime, and signed a harsh anti-gay propaganda law."), why he remains so popular, and what Trump's wish that America could just "get along" with Russia would actually mean for Democratic values.
"Trump is basically the propagandist of Putin's dreams," Oliver says. Take a look below, although be warned: There is lots of NSFW language. Jessica Hullinger
Russian President Vladimir Putin really wants to know what goes on in President Trump's head. NBC News reports that the Kremlin is compiling a document that outlines and analyzes Trump's psychological makeup, for Putin to use in preparation for a future meeting between the two politicians.
The report is apparently updated with new information regularly, and takes notes on Trump's behavior during his first few weeks in the White House, former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov says. "Among the preliminary conclusions? The new American leader is a risk-taker but can be naïve, according to a senior Kremlin adviser," NBC News reports. Fedorov also adds that the Kremlin has noticed that Trump views the presidency like one of his businesses.
NBC notes that it's normal for leaders to be briefed on one another before meeting, but "preparing a detailed dossier on the mind and instincts of a U.S. leader is unusual." The Kremlin's confidence in Trump's ability to smooth over America's relationship with Russia — or lift sanctions imposed by former President Obama following Russia's meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election — seems to be waning. Jessica Hullinger
Uber is launching an 'urgent investigation' into stunning claims of sexual harassment by a female former employee
Uber has launched an "urgent investigation" into claims of sexual harassment, discrimination, and seemingly incompetent HR policies after a former employee published a stunning confessional about her time with the company. Susan Fowler, a former site reliability engineer who joined Uber in 2015, published a long blog post on her website outlining her time with the ride-hailing company, and why she left. In the post, she paints a damning picture of a company where women are targeted and undermined by managers and HR representatives alike.
Fowler claims her manager made sexual advances toward her via online chat. She said she took screenshots of the messages and showed them to human resources, but was told that her boss was a "high performer" and senior managers didn't want to punish him for something they saw as an "innocent mistake." She later discovered other women in the company experienced similar abuse, and received equally insufficient responses from the HR department.
After a series of meetings with HR, things came to a head:
The HR rep began the meeting by asking me if I had noticed that *I* was the common theme in all of the reports I had been making, and that if I had ever considered that I might be the problem ... Less than a week after this absurd meeting, my manager scheduled a 1:1 with me, and told me we needed to have a difficult conversation. He told me I was on very thin ice for reporting his manager to HR. [Susan Fowler]
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said the behavior Fowler described was "abhorrent and against everything Uber stands for and believes in." Jessica Hullinger
America has no intention of seizing Iraqi oil, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis said Monday before making a surprise visit to Iraq. His comments directly contradict those made by President Trump.
"We're not in Iraq to seize anybody's oil," Mattis told reporters. Trump has said repeatedly that his preferred strategy for taking on ISIS would be to "take the oil." "You wouldn't have ISIS if we took the oil," Trump told ABC's David Muir in January. As CNN explains, that would have been a war crime and a violation of international law.
Mattis is visiting Iraq as the push by U.S.-backed Iraqi forces to remove ISIS militants from Western Mosul enters its second day. "I need to get current on the situation there, political situation, the enemy situation, and the friendly situation," Mattis said.
The Islamic State was thought to have 6,000 fighters in Mosul in mid-October, when the government's offensive began, Reuters reports. More than 1,000 of those are estimated to have been killed.
This isn't the first time Mattis has broken with Trump's policy plans. In January, he said he does not support scrapping the Iran nuclear deal, which Trump has dubbed "one of the dumbest deals ever." Over the weekend, Mattis said he disagreed with Trump's claim that the press is "the enemy of the American people." Jessica Hullinger
At a Florida rally on Saturday, President Trump told the crowd that Sweden was facing problems with immigrants. "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden," Trump said. "Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible."
But what, exactly, happened in Sweden "last night" was unclear. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Catarina Axelsson told The Associated Press that the government didn't know of any "terror-linked major incidents." The country's government asked the State Department for clarifications on the meaning of Trump's comments.
On Sunday, Trump took to Twitter to explain that his statement was relating to a segment he'd watched on Fox News. "My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden," Trump tweeted.
Sarah Sanders, the principal deputy press secretary for the White House, said Trump was "talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general, and not referring to a specific incident."
Sweden's crime rate has been falling for the last 12 years, Reuters reports, "even as it has taken in hundreds of thousands of immigrants from war-torn countries like Syria and Iraq."
The Swedish Embassy in Washington kindly offered to inform the president about the country's immigration policies. Jessica Hullinger
When Vice President Mike Pence traveled to Munich and Brussels over the weekend, many foreign leaders were hoping he would provide them with some clarity on President Donald Trump's stance on various international issues. Instead, they got "boilerplate reassurances about United States commitments" and "bland mollifications."
"Today, on behalf of President Trump, I bring you this assurance: The United States of America strongly supports NATO and will be unwavering in our commitment to this transatlantic alliance," Pence said at the Munich Security Conference.
Meanwhile, Trump was at a rally in Florida, criticizing NATO, which he has called "obsolete," and seemingly suggesting Sweden had been the victim of a non-existent terror attack.
"People were not reassured," Daniela Schwarzer, the director of the German Council on Foreign Relations, told The New York Times. "They think that Trump is erratic and incalculable. We all want to hear what we want to hear. But everyone knows that any Trump official could be gone tomorrow, or undercut in another tweet."
The conference came after a tumultuous week in Washington: Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned, and Trump's pick for Flynn's replacement turned down the job. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary James Mattis threatened NATO allies, saying they must increase defense spending, or America would "moderate its commitment" to the alliance.
European diplomats were also hoping Pence would provide some hints as to how, exactly, the balance of power works in the White House, The Washington Post reports. Does his adviser Stephen Bannon hold the reins? What about Jared Kushner? How much sway does Pence have? The vice president stuck to prepared statements at the conference, and did not take questions.
Pence heads to Brussels on Monday, where he will meet with EU leaders before heading home to Washington. Jessica Hullinger
An estimated 14 people were killed and another 30 wounded by a car bomb in the Somali capital city of Mogadishu on Sunday. The explosion happened in a crowded intersection, with shrapnel hitting nearby food stalls and shops.
"I was staying in my shop when a car came into the market and exploded. I saw more than 20 people lying on the ground," said an eyewitness named Abdulle Omar. "Most of them were dead and the market was totally destroyed." Most of those killed are believed to be civilians, though Somali security forces were also in the area.
No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, though it was likely perpetrated by al Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked Islamic extremist group that seeks to overthrow the Somali government. On Sunday, al Shabaab in a radio message denounced Somalia's new president, who holds dual U.S. and Somali citizenship, as an "evil-minded" "apostate" whom Somalis should not support.

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of the government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity�of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."----James Madison, 1778.
I like many other Americans have become alarmed by recent Supreme Court rulings and a host of civil liberties lawsuits that have placed the Ten Commandments at the center of an ongoing volatile legal debate.
As a nation we have seen prayer disappear from our schools and public expressions of faith come under an aggressive assault by "civil libertarians." Soon we could see the Ten Commandments, the very foundation of America's Judeo-Christian moral and faith tradition, disappear from our culture altogether if we stand by and do nothing.
One wonders how far America must drift from its faith moorings before people stand up to declare that "Enough is enough!"
It is worth considering why we as "One Nation Under God" have always identified our national morality with the standards of the Ten Commandments.
I believe our Founding Fathers understood why.
That is why they declared that all people are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" - including "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
In 1778, James Madison stated that America's success was dependent upon the determination of "each and every one of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments."
What gave this venerable Founding Father the boldness to make such a declaration? To discover this we must examine the very essence of the Ten Commandments. Without a doubt they form the single greatest source of morality that the world has ever known. Furthermore, they are the moral foundation of many societies throughout history.
It is alarming, then, that the Ten Commandments-should now face such merciless attack from our nations highest court. Let us be clear: To rip the Ten Commandments from our nations fabric would be a major step in destroying the very foundation upon which this great nation was founded, a foundation seeded in faith and morality.
May God bless America, One Nation Under God.

To get started, users must first charge the device for three hours. The LED will turn from red to green once the battery is fully charged, telling users when the unit is good to go.
The various attachments helped us in cleaning several areas of our office. The crevice tool was able to clean the spaces between our filing cabinets, the debris nozzle/brush tool was able to lift dirt from our keyboards, and the motorized brushbar was able to remove dirt from our carpeted floor and upholstered chairs. However, it had a hard time removing dog hair from one of our chairs, forcing us to spend a little more time vacuuming the same spot.
All the dirt picked up by the vacuum can be seen on the clear polycarbonate bin. When the level reaches the 'Maximum' level, all one has to do is to press the one touch emptying switch to open the bottom part of the bin for easy dirt disposal. There are no vacuum bags or filters for the unit, which means that this vacuum will always maintain its suction power. Just remember to wash the filters every 3-6 months (depending on the use) to keep the system running well.
While we did not have any problems with the unit's performance, we feel that Dyson should improve on the products design. Some of our colleagues who used the product to clean their workspace said that the DC16 got too heavy after a while, placing stress on their wrists. Also, since there was no way to keep the unit on without having to press the trigger, users may find it bothersome to keep on pressing it while removing dirt, say, from a carpeted floor.
The Dyson DC16 Motorhead is a serious handheld vacuum that can clean your car's interior, workspace, or even your favourite couch with ease. The only problem is, it gets 'heavy' after a while, only has a battery life of six minutes, and has an expensive price point ($349). But if you don't mind spending for a vacuum that works without much of a hitch, and you love that classic Dyson design, then look no further.

PHA's International PH Conference provides researchers access to the largest gathering of PH patients in the world.
Each biennial meeting of PHA's International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions includes a Research Room dedicated to helping researchers further their studies by allowing for the collection of data, including biological specimens (cheek swabs and blood samples) from PH patients. The first Research Room was held in 1994 at PHA's International PH Conference in Stone Mountain, Ga. That first gathering brought together almost 70 patients. At the 10th PHA International PH Conference in 2012 in Orlando, Fla., PHA hosted 9 research teams from all over the U.S., with more than 230 attendees participating in our Research Room.
This event gives researchers the rare opportunity to collect data from the largest gathering of pulmonary hypertension patients in the world at any given time, and the work researchers have done at PHA's Research Room has made a difference in the field of pulmonary hypertension.
Learn more about Conference
In addition to his research, Dr. Zhang participates in PHA events, including PHA's 9th International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions in 2010. "I was deeply touched by the PH patients," he says. "Their love of life drives me to work hard on my research, and I hope my results can really help them in the future."

My first recollection of a cancer patient was my grandmother Mary Ann Snow Moffitt in that she suffered from an incurable disease and that there was no chance of her recovering from it. Her cancer was in her throat and the final stages of the cancer were almost unbearable, and very disturbing to a young girl, knowing there was no treatment or cure available at that time. She died in 1931.
Having said that, it is no wonder that I grew up with a fear and dread of the disease. My personal experience with cancer came at the age of 68. For several years before, I had been very faithful in getting the yearly exams recommended by my doctor, and was also on hormone replacement therapy. My husband George and I were on our third full time mission for our church in Palmyra, N.Y. in 1989. I had passed my physical exam in March, but in November I started having problems, and being far from home, was not in the care of my doctor. Finding a doctor is another story, but we were finally led to Dr. Thomas Pulvino, a wonderful, highly trained doctor in Newark, N.Y., 30 miles north of Palmyra. He diagnosed uterine cancer, and did surgery the next day, on Nov. 16, 1989. I had immediate confidence in the doctor, and was surprisingly calm and not afraid when he told me I had cancer.
Dr. Pulvino advised us to stay in Palmyra for at least six weeks for me to heal, and then to have the radiation treatment at another hospital in Clifton Springs, N.Y. I had one mega-treatment (43 hours) of radiation on Dec. 21-22. George was able to continue his missionary duties at the Grandin Building as a tour guide during those six weeks.
We started driving home on Dec. 27, taking five days. I haven't had any reoccurrence of that cancer since. Radiation side-effects were extreme fatigue and lowered immune system. I still have the yearly exams.
Four years later, in January 1994, after a routine mammogram, a suspicious spot showed up in the right breast, and the doctor recommended a needle biopsy. The lump was very small, but tested positive for malignancy. The doctor consulted with family and myself and did a lumpectomy and also some lymph-node surgery. They were clean so no further surgery was done at that time. In February 1994, I started radiation therapy at the Provo Oncology Clinic, five times a week for eight weeks, a check up every three months for a year, every six months for another year, then once a year for three more years. I continued with the yearly mammograms, and on June 18, 2002, had a large lump removed, and another one in March of 2004, but neither one showed any cancer.
Early detection, following through on treatments available, and scheduled check ups-along with a positive attitude coupled with faith, prayer and support from family and friends-give us this "Life after Cancer."
Thanks to good doctors, health personnel, volunteers, and those who work hard to bring us "Relay for Life."
In the spring of 1990, in a routine physical examination for a previous heart problems, the doctor advised me, at the age of 73, to have a PSA blood test to detect a possible prostate problem. As a result of my visit to the urologist, the PSA blood test came back much too high, which indicated a possible serious problem in the future. The doctor repeated the blood test periodically for two years, and it continued to go up, so he scheduled an ultrasound, but nothing showed up. After several months, the doctor did a biopsy. Nothing showed up but the count kept climbing.
Then in the fall of 1995, another biopsy confirmed a small cancer. The doctor said it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but because of the high PSA test and the doctor's concern, he kept looking. He scheduled me for radiation therapy at the Provo Oncology Clinic, and I began the treatments in October 1995, five days a week for eight weeks. We took a camp trailer to stay close to the hospital, came home to Ferron on Friday and back to Provo on Monday. There were some specific rules I was to follow before each treatment, and by being extra conscientious about following them, I had no adverse reactions from the radiation, only some fatigue that seems to happen to everyone who takes it. Before the treatments my PSA count was over 40, and it went to 0.1 where it still remains.
Thanks to good doctors and treatments available, and to all volunteers-whoever they may be-may we all work together to "stamp out cancer."

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL STATION, Cuba — There are lots of creepy moments for a newcomer here.
Atop my list: the first sight in court of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, self-proclaimed architect of the 9/11 attacks.
He shuffled into court, a round, stout figure with orange-hennaed beard and dark, baggy eyes, wearing his customary military camouflage jacket. The overt message: He's still in the fight, one in which prosecutors say he had a direct hand in the murder of thousands of innocents.
From court to mundane daily life on a backwater Navy base to the prison camps, Gitmo stuck me as a place unmoored from time, from real life, even from the country (Cuba) on which it sits.
The 45-square-mile base is a vestige of early 20th century navigation. The Navy needed a Caribbean outpost to refuel its ships with coal, so in February 1903 it leased this pretty port straddling Guantanamo Bay. U.S. and Cuban authorities re-negotiated the deal in 1934, requiring annual rent of $4,085 in perpetuity unless both sides agree to sever the arrangement.
Fidel Castro might want us to go away, but Uncle Sam has grown quite comfortable here on the southeast end of the island. There's a Subway and a McDonald's; The Lateral Hazard, a rocky 9-hole golf course; and the Camp America galley, which offers the best view of any military cafeteria anywhere — the glittering Caribbean.
On a run to the end of the road – not that far given that restricted areas abound here –– I came across an abandoned gun emplacement that sits above beaches covered in black rock and ice-blue chips of beach glass. Almost anywhere else in the Caribbean, this place would be a five-star vacation destination; the low mountains that tumble to the ocean would be dotted with condos and resorts.
Instead, at Cable Beach, I startle a guy sitting in a cinder-block cabana, watching the sunset, Bud Light in hand.
Back at Camp Justice, permanent home to Court Room II and temporary quarters for reporters, I head for the makeshift showers in a tent and back to my makeshift room, a plywood cubicle in another tent where air conditioners thwart the tropical heat and humidity and make it chilly enough to hang meat, or at least require a sleeping bag at night.
A few hills and dry creek beds away, Mohammed and 148 other detainees sleep in their own air-conditioned rooms, better known as cells, in Camps Five, Six and Seven. We tour the first two, but not Number Seven, where Mohammed and the other "high-value" detainees are imprisoned.
The cellblocks and passageways I see are modern, dismal and dreary. Just what you'd expect from a high-security prison.
Runner up for spookiness: Camp X-Ray, the original prison camp. It's just off the road, not far from McDonald's.
The first 299 detainees found themselves in 8-by-8 foot chain-link pens, roofed but open to the weather and insects on the sides. It stayed open for four months in 2002 before more permanent cells could be built.
In the scary, immediate post-9/11 period, an austere camp like this didn't seem like such a bad idea. Then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld famously said at the time, "It's not going to be a country club, but it will be humane." He was right about the not being a country club part.
A federal court order has kept the place intact. That's good. Should we need another camp to hold suspected war criminals — no matter how hideous — we need a reminder that we can do better than this place.
Because we're better than that.
Vanden Brook has covered the Pentagon for USA TODAY since 2006.

Don't you wish you could read animals' thoughts? Like the movie Dr. Doolittle? I certainly do! One of my favorite activities is going to the dog park and watching all the dogs running and playing around, and observing how they get along. The dogs' behavior towards each other surprises me and leaves me wanting to know, "What are they thinking?" and "Are they actually communicating with each other?"
The same goes for my uncle's adorable dog. . . "What is she thinking while chewing on that toy?"
Since we can never know what is going through her doggy brain, I leave it up to you to fill in her thoughts!

Pueblo finally lands Chick-fil-A
Pueblo's hunger pangs for Chick-fil-A soon will end.
The chicken sandwich chain — high on local diners' wish list for years — confirmed Friday it is building its first Pueblo location at the North Side Albertsons shopping center.
Construction is expected to start by mid-April and finish by late summer, said Jerry Johnston, an Atlanta-based spokesman for Chick-fil-A. A grand opening is tentatively planned for late August, he said.
This week, crews freed up additional space for the restaurant by razing the former Blockbuster store at the shopping center. Chick-fil-A bought the former Blockbuster building this winter, according to records filed with the Pueblo County Assessor's Office.
A land-use plan — first filed with the city in late 2012 — shows Chic-fil-A will build a 4,686-square-foot restaurant with a drive-through lane.
"It's been in the works for a couple of years now and we're excited to see it," said Jerry Pacheco, a planner with the city.
The restaurant will go between the shopping center's Fazoli's restaurant and a Valero Corner Store convenience store.
The land-use plan also reflects Chick-fil-A's extensive design work to handle motor vehicle traffic in the shopping center, Pacheco said.
Chick-fil-A routinely ranks high on informal surveys of Puebloans about the restaurants they most would like to see come to the city. Others include Panera Bread, Red Robin and Outback Steakhouse. Currently, the nearest Chick-fil-A restaurants are in Colorado Springs.
Records on file with the county assessor's office show Chick-fil-A purchased the former Blockbuster site in late November for $975,000 from previous owner S.A. Lake Family LLC.
The video rental store shuttered last fall as part of the bankrupt chain's closure of its nationwide brick-and-mortar store under new owner Dish Network. A Blockbuster on the South Side also closed last year.

How well do you know the Patriots?
By Lenny Neslin, Boston.com Staff
After focusing much of our attention on the Patriots' stars, it's time to shine the spotlight on some of the lesser-known and new Patriots. Some Patriots have very unusual family ties, while others went undrafted. This gallery is a mixed bag of interesting facts about Patriots players you haven't heard much about. Next
Music Man: The Patriots' biggest offseason acquisition—
wide receiver Brandon Lloyd—doesn't only have skills on
the field. He is also a rapper. His 2008 single "She All
Mine" made the Billboard R&B chart. He started
recording music when his football career began in 2003,
and has recorded more than 150 songs since then, the
Denver Post reported last year. Next
'Bama star:  Dont'a Hightower won two championships
playing for Nick Saban at Alabama and was a consensus
All-American linebacker in 2011. The Patriots' first-round
pick used to be a tight end at Marshall County High
School in Lewisburg, Tenn. Next
Three Brothers: Chandler Jones is one of three brothers
who are all professional athletes. Arthur plays for the
Baltimore Ravens, Jon is the UFC light heavyweight champion, and Chandler is the Patriots' new right defensive end. Next
Undrafted: Safety Steve Gregory signed with the Chargers in
2006 as an undrafted free agent after playing in the
Syracuse secondary. Next
All-Conference: Greg Salas was named a to the first-team All-WAC in 2009 as a wide receiver for the University of Hawaii. His 1,675 receiving yards in 2010 led the nation. The Rams drafted him in 2011, and the Patriots traded a 2015 draft pick to acquire him Sept. 1. Next
Mr. Rugby: If the Patriots hadn't drafted defensive back Nate Ebner in the sixth round, Ebner would have considered pursuing a career in professional rugby. During college he was named MVP of the USA team for under ages 19 and 20 in 2007 and 2008. He was a preferred walk-on for Ohio State. Next
Undrafted: Despite being born and raised in Baton Rouge and heavily recruited by LSU, Brandon Bolden chose to play at Ole Miss. The running back went undrafted and signed with the Patriots May 2. Next
Unbreakable: Tavon Wilson started 38 consecutive games for the University of Illinois. Wilson, a safety, was the Patriots' second-round draft pick 2012. Next
All-Conference: Defensive end Trevor Scott was named first-team All-MAC in 2007 at defensive end for the University of Buffalo. The Raiders drafted him in 2008 and he went on to win the Ed Block Courage Award in 2011. Next
TV Star: Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe appeared on NBC's "Minute to Win It" game show in 2010. To raise money for charity, he performed tricks such as catching ping pong balls with a bucket strapped to his head and blowing a deck of cards off a Coke bottle while keeping the last card, the joker, on the bottle. Also, his mother is from Liberia and his first name is Indian. Next
Family Ties: Running back Shane Vereen's father, Henry Vereen, was a wide receiver in the Canadian Football League in the early 1980s. His second cousin, Ben Vereen, is an actor and has appeared on "Boston Pops," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and many others. Shane attended University of California and was drafted by the Patriots in 2011. Next
NFL Background: Matthew Slater is the son of Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jackie Slater. Jackie, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, played all 20 years of his career for the Rams. Matthew is a wide receiver and special teamer for the Patriots. Back to the beginning

CLEVELAND-Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and longtime friend, Sandra Uleene Jensen, age 69, passed away Sept. 8, 2012 at Beehive Home in Elmo where her family was extremely grateful for the exceptional care she received.
She was born Nov. 10, 1942 in Cleveland, Utah to Ernest William and Nellie Davis Jensen.
On Nov. 17, 1962, she married Sheldon Lavar Atwood in Cleveland and he preceded her in death on Oct. 27, 1971. A year later she married Henry C. Jensen on Nov 4, 1972 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Sandra shared a strong faith in the Lord and was an active member of The First Independent Baptist Church. She was a lifelong resident of Emery County and graduate of North Emery High.
After graduation she enrolled in cosmetology school and received her cosmetology degree in Provo. Sandra loved people and especially enjoyed working with her hands and caring for others. For years she worked as a beautician in many beauty salons and as a florist at Gordon's Nursery in Huntington.
Anyone that knew Sandra, knew that she loved the outdoors and if she wasn't out riding then she was planning a shopping trip. Sandra loved to brighten everyone's day and during Christmas she was always trying to find another set of lights to place outside.
One of her greatest enjoyments was the love, support and encouragement which she extended to her kids, grandkids and her precious great-grandson. "She will always be that smile in our hearts."

Jensen of Cleveland; one son, two daughters and their spouses, Travis (Toni) Atwood, Huntington, Chandra (Darrin) Jensen, Cleveland, Chris Moyes, Helena, Mont.; sisters, Wilda (Blake) Jones, Huntington, Beverly Jensen, Castle Dale, Thelma Jensen, Ferron, Wyanna (Ronald) World, Cleveland; eight grandchildren Shanda (Jesse) McArthur, Sharamie and Shakoda Atwood, all of Huntington, Shelby, Shantz and Shekiya Jensen, all of Cleveland, Cryslen and Jayden Moyes, Helena, Mont.; and great-grandson, Bronc McArthur.
