Britain's Defense Ministry is coming under criticism for not thoroughly investigating a devastating attack on Camp Bastion in southwestern Afghanistan, The Independent newspaper reported.
STORY: UK failure to address 'security lapses' at Afghan base is unpunished despite report
The U.S. Marine Corps took the rare step earlier this month of asking two generals to retire in the wake of the surprise attack that killed two American Marines and completely destroyed six American warplanes.
A team of 15 Taliban insurgents used bolt cutters to cut the perimeter fence and sneak onto an airfield.
At the time of the attack last year the British were responsible for security at Camp Bastion, which was part of a larger coalition complex in Helmand province.
Under a complex memorandum of understanding, the British had a separate chain of command from the U.S. side of the base, called Camp Leatherneck. There was no single commander responsible for security over the entire compound.
The U.S. report pointed out that the arrangement violated a key tenet of warfare: unity of command.
The arrangement was changed after the September 2012 attack. Security for the entire complex is now under the command of an American officer.
"The U.K. was responsible for protecting Camp Bastion, yet in contrast to their U.S. colleagues, two of the most senior U.K. commanders at the base have since been promoted," The Independent reported.
The Independent said Britain's Defense Ministry has reviewed the lengthy U.S. report and said that no further action is needed.
"I am deeply concerned at their apparent unwillingness to address the U.S. document's allegations openly and transparently," Madeleine Moon MP, a member of the Defense Select Committee, told the newspaper.

The star who plays billionaire Tony Starks says he is "humbled" by real-life innovators from around the country in the "Iron Man 3: Inventor and Innovator Fair"
HOLLYWOOD — Robert Downey Jr. came face-to-face with a stage full of true innovators on Friday.
As his billionaire inventor character Tony Stark and Iron Man 3 stormed through the U.S. box office, Downey surprised 12 finalists onstage at the "Iron Man 3: Inventor and Innovator Fair" at Hollywood's El Capitan Theater.
The finalists in the nationwide competition looked amazed and shocked when Downey made the unannounced visit onstage, hands in the air giving the victory sign, following the awards ceremony. Students had flown in from around the country to accept the innovation honors for their work.
Downey congratulated the students, ranging from sixth to ninth grade.
"I hate to say this, but I'm humbled," Downey said from the stage. "I congratulate all of you."
"I am very pleased to be introducing the future design team of the next Tony Stark Iron Man suit," Downey added.
Iron Man 3 was on par to make $60 million on its opening Friday following a stellar international opening last week. But Downey put the spotlight on the award-winning students.
Anin Sayana from Cupertino, Calif., was just one of the award-winning entries with an impressive title: "A Novel Configuration of Carbon Nanotubes to Inhibit ABCG2 and Selectively Target Chemotherapy-Resistant Cancer Stem Cells."
"Iron Man is breaking records all over the world, but these are our big stars today," Downey said.
"This whole series is about someone who invents something out of necessity. It's nice entertainment," he added. "But I am just so pleased to be part of the youth of America representing the things that are going to be keeping the planet sustainable and push technology and innovation forward for years to come."

By Bill CovaleskiSnow made an early appearance this year when our first wintry storm of the season hit us this past Saturday. Clearing downed tree limbs at home the day after the storm, my freezing fingers yearned for a warming winter brew. As I endured the elements, I began to wish I could simply hibernate through the winter and wake up when it is warm again.
Of course, life won't allow me to sleep through the season and worse yet, a Victory beer will be doing the hibernating on my behalf: Old Horizontal Barleywine.
Just as the moon catches its Z's on the Old Ho label, our beloved barleywine will be sleeping its way through 2012.
Here's why…
As we explained earlier in the year, Victory is experiencing incredible growth and impressive demand for our products. While this surge is mostly good news, it has forced us to make some tough decisions. In order to keep up with the demand for our core brands like HopDevil, Prima Pils, Golden Monkey and Headwaters Pale Ale, we have to take a pass on brewing our dear Old Horizontal.
If you've been lucky enough to taste the luxurious brew, you know that it is rich with hop aroma and dense with sweet malt character. These flavors come from the ridiculous amount of hops and malt we use when brewing Old Horizontal. "Luxurious" is an appropriate term for this brew, as it is pricey in both ingredients and time. In order to get the candied fruit flavors we know and love, Old Horizontal requires an incredibly time-consuming brewing process. With most of our beers, we can use the second-runnings of sugar-rich wort (the pre-fermentation liquid from the brew) in the recipe. That is not the case with Old Horizontal, so we have to brew twice as much in order to make half the yield of a "regular" Victory beer. With our brewhouse running at peak capacity, we literally can't afford the time for our precious Old Horizontal. For this reason, we're saying "Goodnight Moon" as the brew takes an extra long nap this year.
Skipping Old Horizontal this year is as sad for me as it is for many of you. Even though I am the one making this decision, I still lament the choice. In fact, I'm ruining my own collection – I've hoarded a bottle or two of each vintage beginning in 1996, and now the chain will be broken. Yet another reason I'd like to cuddle up with Old Horizontal during its winter hibernation.
But there is some good news to keep me (and you) from too many depressed Old Ho woes. We've got a few kegs of vintage Old Horizontal still hanging out in our warehouse. Over the course of the year, Old Ho will wake up and make an appearance on draft here at the brewpub. Keep an eye on our draft list, like our Facebook page or join our mobile mailing list to be sure you know when it will be available.

Software saleswoman Barbra Chase Burke said she wants to help take politics out of the Douglas County School District board. The Roxborough parent, running as Barbra Chase, seeks the District B seat now held by term-limited board president John Carson.
A total of four school board seats will be up for grabs in the November election.
"Let's take the politics out of education," said the mother of two DCSD students. "I'm running as unaffiliated on purpose. I think there's a trend of people that are wanting the same: Let's focus on our kids, and that's it."
Chase describes herself as a "passionate advocate of Douglas County Schools," but one who also is concerned about the district.
"I'm concerned with the growing class size," she said. "I am concerned with fewer instructional hours for high school (students). I am concerned about the number of private meetings held by the board. I want to put the public back in public schools."
She has a particular interest in electives.
"Because of my involvement with parent/teacher groups, the lack of funding and the cutting of specials like gym, art and music across the district, I'm very passionate about specials and having a well-rounded education for everybody," she said.
Despite her concerns, Chase has kind words for district officials.
"I think we have really great people in our district and big hearts on the board," she said. "Everybody's shared value is the best education for our kids. We can all improve, but until I'm sitting there, I don't think I have the right be critical."
The Iowa native credits her success in life to a public school education.
She served as executive director of the Roxborough Elementary School Parent Teacher Involvement Committee that helped add another school building in the unincorporated area of northwest Douglas County. Roxborough Intermediate, serving third through sixth graders, opened in 2008, alleviating crowding at the original school building. That structure became Roxborough Primary, and serves preschool through second graders.
Chase also volunteers with the parent/teacher group at Ranch View Middle School.
She owned a now-closed company called Organization in-a-box, which helped guide the operations of community-based organizations. In 2010, the company launched PTO in-a-box for parent teacher organizations.
Her husband Sean also has been heavily involved in the Roxborough schools and DCSD.
The Burkes worked with other Roxborough residents to create One Roxborough, the bedroom community's version of a town council.
As busy as her life is, Chase said she has time to serve on the board.
"I think we all have time," she said. "The question is priority. I will make time because it's a priority not only for my kids, but because I love kids. I think I can help be responsible for their experiences and their memories and their preparedness for whatever lies in their future."
Chase joins a growing slate of school board candidates.
Other declared candidates include Ronda Scholting, Nick Land and incumbent Meghann Silverthorn in District G; as well as Kevin Leung and Stephen Wayne Boyd in District D. Current board members Carrie Mendoza of District D, and Doug Benevento of District E, whose terms expire in November, have not yet declared their candidacy.

2nd Sunday of Luke
The Gospel according to Luke 6:31-36
The Lord said, "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful."

The Emery Town water pipeline project has been completed. The entire canal has been piped from the Emery Water Conservancy District facility to the water treatment plant in Emery. A tour, luncheon and ribbon cutting was held to mark the end of the project in December. The tour began at the 80/20 split where 80 percent of the water travels on to Emery and 20 percent is diverted into the line for Moore.
The completion of the pipeline is a relief for the Emery residents who always have a fear their water supply will freeze up in the winter. Another big benefit of the water pipeline will be the water savings which studies indicate will be between 20-40 percent.
The project will improve and protect raw drinking water and reduce operation and maintenance costs. The project was completed to allow for future developments involving installation of sprinkling systems for agricultural land. There will be an overall improvement in the operation of the secondary system.
The project increases the quantity of water. The project will enhance public safety with the canal being piped there won't be any danger of livestock or people falling into the canal. The project will increase the property value.
The cost of the total project was $6,670,000. The money for the project came from a number of funding sources. Emery Town secured a CIB Grant for $805,000 and a CIB Loan for $270,000. CONSOL mine contributed $125,000. Muddy Creek Irrigation Company contributed $470,000 and the US Army Corps of Engineers contributed $5,000,000.
The project was successful due to the cooperative efforts of Emery Town and the Emery Town steering committee, the Army Corps of Engineers, United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Muddy Creek Irrigation Company, Castle Valley Special Service District and the private property owners whose land was crossed over to install the pipeline.
The project involved the installation of 6.1 miles of covered pipe. Pipe size included 63-inch, 54-inch and 14-inch. The major diversions included the 80/20 split for Moore and the Emery Town treatment plant. Key design items include routing the pipe over the bluff and the direct connection to the town's secondary system. There is a piped connection to the desilting structure.
The Muddy Creek Irrigation Company is excited about the improvements to the water system for Emery. It will increase available water and install a backbone for future pressurized irrigation systems. Because of this project the irrigation company will have increased funding possibilities in the future. The project comes with a possible pressure connection in the future. The project reduces operation and maintenance efforts and cost. The new system decreases liability for the company. With the new pressurized system, the pumps at the water treatment facility will no longer be used. On the Emery Water Conservancy website all of the data for the flows on the Muddy can be accessed at any time. There is a flow meter at the 80/20 split and at the water treatment plant. The water conservancy district can set the flow from their office and adjust the flow to Moore at any time.
The most crucial benefit which everyone is looking forward to is extending the irrigation season with more water available and experiencing the water savings that will come from piping the canal. Each irrigation season, it's estimated that the town loses 20-40 percent of their water out of the canal. The Muddy Creek Irrigation company records indicate an annual 30 percent loss of water. The canal will not be filled in and will still collect water in flood events.
cfs is equivalent to 2 acre-feet per day
Total Loss: 3,486 ac-ft/Irrigation Season
Key Components to the project include:
Main Transmission Pipeline
Water Distribution Points
Flow Control and Monitoring for the System
Large Percentage Cost of Future System (enable phasing)
Improves Cost Effectiveness of Future Projects and decreases operation and maintenance costs now
Main Transmission lines are largest unit cost
Allows future improvements to be phased
New Pipeline Lowers Future Improvements Total
Cost - Which Increases available funding sources
i.e. Federal Salinity Funding Program
Completive funding program based on $/ton
removal of salt
Risk of canal failure
Continual monitoring of pipeline operation
Condie Construction from Springville did the actual construction of the pipeline. Design work began for the project in 2010 and the funding process. Jones and Demille Engineering did the design work. The town would like to thank everyone involved in the project. Rep. Jim Matheson and former Sen. Bob Bennett were instrumental in helping the town of Emery obtain the needed funding for the project. The Army Corp. 595 project money was a major component of the funding for the project. Maintaining a water supply for the town of Emery is critical. The pipeline will insure the town of a continued, clean water supply free of the contamination involved with a free flowing open canal. Jones and Demille said the construction company did an excellent job. They were very protective of any riparian areas the pipeline needed to pass through. Only a small amount of agricultural land was impacted and every thing possible was done to keep these impacts minor. Of the 6.1 miles of pipeline 3.1 miles is the 63 inch pipeline.
The original Blue cut tunnel had collapsed several times. The pipeline was moved out of the canal to a higher location, but still kept low enough it wouldn't impede the flow. There are drains along the way and air intakes to keep the water flowing. High spring flows will also help flush the pipeline. The canal was kind of meandering and the new pipeline is more direct. There are irrigation turnouts so water can be delivered to the ditch. It is also hoped the pipeline will increase pressure and this will be known when the irrigation season starts in the spring. Emery Town has three small reservoirs and Julius was held back this year to save water for culinary uses.
Mayor Mistie Christiansen said she is very happy with the project, but there is more to be done to enable Emery to have water all winter long for the people and the livestock. "We water more than 2,000 cows and over 200 horses. There are real concerns. This is a big step and we couldn't have done it on our own. I want to thank everyone who helped," said the mayor.
Along with the building of the new pipeline is also the end of an era with water no longer flowing down Muddy Creek to the town of Emery. Below is a little of the history of the canal and the famous Blue Cut tunnel.
"The tunnel builders". In 1889, the pioneers had located on the Muddy Creek three miles North East of the town of Emery. The build a tunnel 1,200 feet long through blue slate rock to bring water to the town of Emery. Their only tools were pick and shovel and blasting powder. They hauled dirt out in a two wheeled cart. They sank three shafts, one at each end and one in the middle of the blue slate hill, allowing for work in four directions. The pioneers used horse power to hoist dirt out in wooden buckets. Their living quarters were dugouts along Muddy Creek, called Camp Muddy Creek. The irrigation canal began as a tunnel engineered by pioneers in 1885 and finished in 1889. Many of the people in Emery have memories of the tunnel and the canal, Merlin Christiansen as a child he would skate on the canal into the tunnel in the winter. Merlin said the pioneers attempted to shore up the tunnel with cedar posts along the wall and roof. Cave ins were frequent and they used a scraper on a long cable, pulled by a team of horses to clean out the tunnel.
By putting the tunnel through this blue slate hill the pioneers were able to get water to more fields at a higher elevation, than they would have if they had gone two miles around the hill resulting in a loss of water due to seepage and evaporation.
Nielson Construction Company replaced the tunnel with a deep ditch after a tunnel collapse in the 1940s.

The What tarot card resembles you Test
Their result for The What tarot card resembles you Test ...
The High Priestess
You scored 32 change, 51 wellbeing, 78 wisdom, and 78 truth
This card represents the subconscious mind. It is the balancing force between pairs. The pillars to her sides represent the opposites, light and dark, and she sits in the middle of them, impartial to one or the other. The curtain behind her connects the pairs. The letters on the pillars are B and J. The B is symbolic of the number 2 falling as the second letter in the alphabet. The letter J is the 10th letter in the alphabet, in numerology, this is reduced to 1. So on the pillars we have the numbers 1 and 2. This is symbolic of male and female, the two opposites. The Priestess is holding a scroll of universal and personal knowledge, but only part of it is showing, because god has more yet to reveal. The High Priestess is the link, the conscious mind formulates ideas and the subconscious sets them into action in a fashion of order, represented by the block on which she sits. This card falls under the vibration of the number 2.
some extra words:
staying nonactive
withdrawing from involvement
allowing events to proceed without intervention
being receptive to influence
becoming calm
being passive
waiting patiently
accessing the unconscious
using your intuition
seeking guidance from within
trusting your inner voice
opening to dreams and the imagination
being aware of a larger reality
seeing the potential
understanding the possibilities
opening to what could be
seeing your hidden talents
allowing development
letting what is there flower
sensing the mystery
looking beyond the obvious
approaching a closed off area
opening to the unknown
remembering something important
sensing the secret and hidden
seeking what is concealed
acknowledging the Shadow

They scored 51% on wellbeing, higher than 22% of your peers.
They scored 78% on wisdom, higher than 86% of your peers.

Pre-settlement funding provides cash to the plaintiff in a lawsuit before their case is finally resolved by a court decision or settlement. These funds can also help plaintiffs whose cases have been resolved but have yet to receive payments. The money allows plaintiffs to cover general living expenses, medical bills and other immediate needs while they wait for settlement. Pre-settlement funds are NOT loans. This money is for purchase of part of the recovery in a lawsuit made to qualifying plaintiffs. If the plaintiff loses his or her case, the part of recovery not purchased does not need to be transferred to us.
The most common types of cases for plaintiffs who may be eligible for pre-settlement funds are:
Peachtree has a variety of pre-settlement funding options for your unique needs. Smaller funding amounts (as little as $500) require no case-related documents and your attorney can submit a simplified application. Individuals seeking $5,000 or less can expect a fast application review and quicker funding. Large funding amounts are available up to $750,000. Post-settlement funding is also available.
When making decisions about who to secure pre-settlement funding from, be sure to ask questions such as:
Since 2005, Peachtree has delivered pre-settlement funding on more than 19,000 cases. As a top pre-settlement funding company, our fees are very competitive in the industry and our fast turnaround times can provide cash in as little as 24 hours on many cases upon approval.
Peachtree is dedicated to delivering quality customer service to the attorneys we work with, and we have received recognition from several legal publications.
Again, service is our focus. With an efficient and fast review and underwriting process, we reduce requests for additional information while learning about your unique needs.
Once we've reviewed your case and determined which options may be best for you, qualified plaintiffs receive an agreement for you and your attorney to go over.
Once your attorney receives the agreement from Peachtree, all you need to do is sign the agreement and return it to Peachtree. It's that simple.
As soon as we have the signed agreement, Peachtree can usually get you your funds within 24 hours. Some larger cases involve more underwriting and could require up to three days for approval and funding.
Every individual who seeks pre-settlement funding is unique. The fees depend upon the nature of your case, the amount of funds you are requesting and the amount of time it will take for full resolution. Talk to a Peachtree representative to learn more about the fees that apply to your case and know that there are no hidden fees when you receive pre-settlement funds from Peachtree.
In most cases, your attorney will only need to provide three key documents in order to be eligible for pre-settlement funding:
In some, more involved cases we may request more documentation.
When you work with Peachtree, you get a dedicated pre-settlement representative as your point of contact from start to finish. We find it's the best way to ensure you're being taken care of at a time when you need it most. Our representatives and our team of underwriters work hard to lessen the burden on attorneys and get quicker results for plaintiffs. It's all part of our commitment to service that we call the Peachtree Promise.
We're proud to be recognized for our unmatched customer dedication by several leading legal publications.
The settlement process can be difficult to understand and take quite a bit of time to resolve. Pre-settlement funding can provide some much-needed relief. Here are some answers to common questions that arise during the pre-settlement process.
Once we receive your completed application, the funding process usually takes between 1 and 3 business days.
Yes. You must have an attorney representing your case. Peachtree will work directly with your attorney to ensure that all paperwork is complete and funding is delivered as quickly as possible.
You'll work with one dedicated representative throughout the entire process. This representative will be familiar with all the ins and outs of your case, and will be available to answer any questions you and your attorney might have.
This can vary but for most cases your attorney will need to provide a completed application, a police report and any medical reports if applicable.
Current eligible states are: AK, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, LA, KS, KY, MA, MI, NV, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TX, UT, VA, WA, WY
No. The application process is free. You pay nothing until your case is settled.
No, our fees include a competitive monthly compounding fee on the amount funded which will include a one-time $75 document preparation fee.
No, it is the sale of a portion of the potential proceeds of the lawsuit. Unlike a loan, if the case is unsuccessful, you do not have to pay back the funding you received from Peachtree or incur any fees.
Yes, the attorney signs the "Acknowledgement by Counsel." The attorney acknowledges the assignment of a portion of the proceeds and agrees to pay the amount due from the settlement proceeds to Peachtree upon settlement of the case.
Peachtree Financial Solutions has been helping people secure pre-settlement funds since 2005. We've delivered funds in over 19,000 cases to date. Our success is due in large part to an unparalleled commitment to service for the plaintiffs and attorneys we work alongside. With Peachtree, you get:
And if needed, Peachtree can provide attorney funding to cover legal fees and operating expenses while your client's case is being resolved.
We're proud to be recognized for our unmatched customer dedication by your peers.
For each of your clients in need of pre-settlement funding you will need to fill out a simple application that is specific to your case. Peachtree will evaluate the information you provide and if approved, forward an Assignment Agreement to you for execution by you and your client.
In addition to the application, Peachtree will need a copy of the police or incident report, and any medical reports associated with the case.
What documents does Peachtree require from my client's file?
Usually, we request a copy of the plaintiff's complaint, the Defendant's answer, police or incident reports, a list of medical bills incurred and a copy of the relevant medical records. We will never require documents or information that is subject to the attorney-client privilege.
What if my client needs additional assistance at a later date?
Peachtree will further evaluate your client's case at that time and in many cases will provide additional funding. However, the total amount of all transactions will not exceed 15% to 20% of your client's expected recovery, after legal fees.
How much assistance can my client receive?
To ensure that the financial assistance provided by Peachtree will not hinder your ability to negotiate settlement, Peachtree will not purchase more than 15% to 20% of your client's expected recovery, after legal fees.
Does Peachtree get involved with the handling of my client's case?
No, you and your client retain complete control of the litigation.
Is it ethical for an attorney to refer their clients to Peachtree?
It is absolutely ethical for an attorney to refer their clients to non-recourse funding companies. Contact us for information on the ethics opinion in your state.
Must a lawsuit be filed in order to get funding?
No, in exceptional situations, we may provide funding if there is sufficient information and documentation to allow us to evaluate the claim.
Does Peachtree offer post-settlement attorney funding in my state?
Peachtree offers attorney funding in all 50 states.
Peachtree Financial Solutions has helped provide pre-settlement funding for over 19,000 cases to date. Call us today at 1-866-559-7050 to find out how you can benefit from referring attorneys and claimants to Peachtree for help when they need it most.

Calling Law a 'Profession' Only Confuses Thinking about the Challenges Lawyers Face
Thomas D. Morgan
George Washington University Law School
February 17, 2012
University of St. Thomas Law Journal, Forthcoming
GWU Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2012-11
GWU Law School Public Law Research Paper No. 2012-11
It is appropriate to want lawyers to be mature, moral people and to help legal education reinforce those qualities. It is also appropriate to be sure students understand lawyers' fiduciary responsibilities and the ways lawyers fall short of meeting them. It only confuses work on those issues, however, to call them part of teaching "professionalism." Law is not a "profession" as that term has traditionally been used. Calling law a profession does not help understanding the challenges lawyers face.

Missing functions
GNU Octave strives to be among the very best numerical tools available. While compatibility with Matlab is one of many strong features of Octave, we have not achieved 100% compatibility. If you are reading this page, it is most likely because you attempted to use a function that is part of core Matlab, but has yet to be implemented in Octave.
There can be several reasons for the given function not to exist in Octave:
The function may exist in Octave-Forge, but has not yet been adopted as a part of the core Octave distribution. You can try to look for your function in the alphabetical list of functions at the Octave-Forge web site to see if it is available in some package.
The function may be new to Matlab. It is possible that the Octave community simply does not know it exists. Should this be the case, feel free to open a feature request in the Octave bug tracker.
The Octave community consists of volunteers working in their spare time. As a result, development might sometimes not be fast enough for your needs. If you have a feature request for Octave, the best way to ensure that your suggested improvement gets incorporated is either to implement the feature yourself or to pay somebody to do it for you. If you are interested in funding work on Octave, please check out the resources for developers.

|In response to Re: Drain clog fixed, should regular chemicals be used to maintain?
: : My drain was clogged, I used a long snake in the main pipe and that fixed it, now all drains flow well. Over the years it will slow again like it always does. Do you suggest to put chemicals in my system as regular maintence to keep it flowing properly, if so, what chemicals? My house is over eighty years old. Thank you
: Water Jetting removes years of acculumation of soap scum/grease build up restoring the piping to a like new condition inside.
: I am totally against chemical use in keeping a plumbing system working properly.
: Many of my accounts are homes built in 1922 and once I water jet these lines full flow is again established and you should be OK for another 20 years.
: With dish washers, washing machines and garbage disposals now installed inside the homes the build up of soap films and food particles reduce the internal piping to nil.
: Snaking /rodding will not scour these drains they only remove hard stoppages like rags /roots etc Jetting is the way to go.

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico - Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., won the third place match on Sunday at a four-team women's beach volleyball exhibition tournament to celebrate the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence.
Mexicans Bibi Candelas and Mayra Garcia upset world champions Jennifer Kessy and April Ross of the U.S., in the championship final 21-17, 20-22, 19-17.
The Canadians won their last match 21-16, 21-13 over Yarleen Santiago and Dariam Acevedo of Puerto Rico. Lessard and Martin opened the tournament dropping two close matches, first to the Americans 21-19, 15-21, 15-11 then to the Mexicans 18-21, 21-17, 15-12.
"We are pleased with our performance in our first event this year," the pair wrote on their website http://www.lessardmartin.com/. "These high quality matches early in the season will help us target our training in preparation for the full international season."
Lessard and Marin also mentioned there were many Canadians vacationing in the area who came out to support them at the matches.
Ranked 23rd internartionally, Lessard and Martin earned three ninth place finishes on the World Tour circuit last year, the first full season together, including one at the final stop in Thailand.

Nice summer shoe
"I've only worn it once so far but for a whole day at work it was great. Didn't rub in any weird places and looked great with a simple black dress for summer. The jewels are pretty big but they give the shoe character! The wedge is not high but gives you just a little bit more support than a flat sandal. I am looking forward to wearing these all summer!"

Castle Valley Special Service District manager, Darrel Leamster has been traveling to the city meetings in each town to discuss the upcoming raise in water and sewer rates. He has been to Ferron, Elmo, Huntington and Cleveland. Leamaster said, "People have generally been pretty supportive. They have the question why and when I go through the presentation they can understand the need for the increases. We have had more expenditures than revenues and once people realize that they have been supportive."
At the recent service district meeting updates and approvals of 2004 projects were on the agenda. Two bids were received for the curb and gutter projects. When the bids were opened, both were more than the amount the engineers had estimated. It was decided by the board to rebid the projects.
Many of the towns represented expressed the thought that they would be willing to negotiate out some of the summer projects to lower the cost. Leamaster informed the cities that their revised plans would need to be in as soon as possible to allow enough time to advertise for the bids and get the projects underway.
Leamaster noted that the soil and perc tests have been completed for the Ferron lagoon project. The designs are moving along as expected also, although, the price of pipe is becoming a concern. PVC prices have risen dramatically in the last few weeks. The deadline for the design is May 1.
The district is moving ahead with the Ferron City sewer lagoon project. Ferron City is responsible for obtaining and paying for the easements needed for the project
The bid for the River Bottom Road project in Huntington was awarded on March 9 and the project is scheduled to begin on March 29. Bids on the drainage projects will be opened at the next meeting.
Water and sewer projects for the 2004 season will include a sewer line in Castle Dale and a water line in Orangeville. Drawings are in the planning stages now and the easement requirements will be coming soon.
More drives will be coming for the secondary water systems this fall. This means that the new pumps will be ready for next year. In Castle Dale, a project to redo the screens in the pond is being planned. The hope is that the screens will be installed this fall.
The crack sealing project on the roads in Castle Dale is complete. The final cost came in very close to the estimate.
CVSSD is in the planning stages of purchasing a new Vactor truck. Spec sheets were reviewed by the board. Leamaster explained that price of the basic truck, and with the options necessary for the work done in the district, the final price is $239,000. This truck will be acquired through a lease/purchase agreement with four installments to be made.
Leamaster also informed the board that two of the public hearings concerning the increase in the water and sewer rate have been held. He said the meetings went very well and were well attended. He also presented a request from Elmo Town to structure the water rates and hookup fees along the same lines as the secondary water is handled at present. This is an item that was brought only for consideration and does not require board action at this time.
Leamaster explained the new legislation that came this year. He said that the water conservation bill now has more consequences. Water districts need to have a plan outlining their individual conservancy plans and how those goals will be attained. He also said that each town, with the exception of Elmo, Clawson and Emery, will be required to have a plan.
Eric Anderson, councilman from Emery, informed the board that Emery Town is very concerned about the loss of water supply for the town. He said that since the mining activity under Julius Flat Reservoir began, the towns wells, springs, creeks and reservoirs are drying up. He asked for any suggestions to the course of action Emery can take to prevent any further loss of water. This issue is of great concern for not only secondary, but culinary water as well.
The announcement was made that the secondary water would be turned on sometime after April 15. The next Castle Valley Special Service meeting will be held April 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Need to catch up on Parts 1, 2 and 3?
This week, it's all about shirt buttons!
Secret #7. Why are my shirt buttons missing? Most dry cleaners don't check for missing buttons. Checking requires another process for each shirt, blouse, trouser, jacket, etc. The funny thing about this is that the dry cleaner is probably responsible for at least half the missing buttons. Sometimes a button comes off when the thread comes loose. But often, it's because it gets cracked when pressing. Shirt pressing equipment covers the entire garment and can cause cracked or missing buttons. This happens even more frequently for dry cleaners who do not regularly change the pads in the presses. When the pads are used too long, they get hard and cause more buttons to crack and fall off.
On a personal note, I hate missing buttons! This is one of the reasons I got into this business. Many dry cleaners don't check for missing buttons, so I saw this as an opportunity for my business to shine compared to other dry cleaners. We check for missing buttons. We may not catch them all, but I promise we try to find them and replace them before returning the garment to you.
If you get a shirt with a missing button, return it to us, and we'll replace it press the shirt again and pay you $5.00 for the trouble! I meant it when I said I hate shirts with missing buttons!

ENMU building programs
September 4, 2007
PORTALES — On the surface, Eastern New Mexico University's cross country teams may not have seemed to fare all that well in Friday's season-opening Buffalo Stampede, hosted by West Texas A&M at Canyon.
Still, first-year ENMU coach Eric Boll said his teams aren't exactly in midseason form, and the men in particular aren't at full strength.
"We're not in top shape yet," said Boll, who also coaches the school's track program and gave up his football assistant's position to take over cross country. "We came out of the race healthy. I was real pleased with the way it turned out."
The Greyhounds were fourth out of seven teams at WT, while the women finished seventh out of eight. The men are running without injured Kenyans Nimrod Lelei (Achilles) and Felix Boit (knee), and Boll plans to bring them along slowly.
Another Kenyan, Kennedy Baiywo, led the Hounds at WT, finishing 13th out of 70 runners in 22 minutes, 25 seconds over four miles.
"We're not where we're going to be later in the year, but we're not where we want to be either," Boll said.
The top runners for the women at WT were Krystal Becenti, 28th out of 56 in 22:43 over five kilometers, and Jerri Martin, 32nd in 22:54.
Boll said the women are trying to build their program, while the men should have a chance to do well in the Lone Star Conference.
"I think we should be in the upper half of the conference," he said of the men. "With the women, we're just trying to give them experience and have them come together as a team."
ENMU is at a meet at the University of New Mexico this weekend, the second of only four on the schedule prior to the LSC meet at Greenville, Texas, on Oct. 20.

Market check: The Nikkei Stock Average leapt 2.2% as the Bank of Japan unveiled — after months of trader anticipation — a series of aggressive new policies measures. They include doubling holdings of Japanese government bonds and exchange-traded funds and buying more real-estate investment trusts. Japanese central bankers are thus expected to buy 7 trillion yen of government bonds per month, or $75 billion, up from today's 3.8 trillion, reports the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper highlights the risk of doing too much: "If Japan's borrowing costs rise more sharply than goods-and-services prices in response to the central bank's policy actions, that could damage the economy and swell Japan's public debt, which stands at more than 200% of annual economic output," write Takashi Nakamichi and Tatsuo Ito. "However, [central-bank governor Haruhiko] Kuroda said now isn't the time to worry about such possibilities. "I'm not concerned that long-term interest rates could spike or asset market bubbles will emerge, Mr. Kuroda said. "I don't have any intention of financing government spending."
Fund watch: Prepare for a surge in WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity fund (DXJ), which is up 6.3% — 6.3! — in premarket trading. iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (EWJ) is rising by 3.5% and Maxis Nikkei 225 Index Fund (NKY) is up 3.1%. See above.

Spotlight on mkyong
By MarkHeckler-Oracle on Mar 19, 2012
Occasionally, I'd like to share a blog I've discovered or that someone has passed along to me. Criteria are few, but in a nutshell, it must be:
- Java-related. (Doh!)
- Interesting. A good blog is exciting to read at some level, whether due to perspective, eye-catching writing, or technical insight. It doesn't have to read like a Stephen King novel, but it should grab you somehow.
- Technically deep or technically broad. A site that dives deeply, quickly is a great reference for particular topics/tasks. On the other hand, one that covers a lot of ground at a high-but-still-technical level can be a handy site to visit occasionally as well. Both are what I consider "bookmarkable", but for different reasons.
Drumroll, please...
With that in mind, this Blog Spotlight is cast upon mkyong.com, a site I stumbled across that offers a little bit of everything for various Java dev audiences. The title indicates the site is for "Java web development tutorials", and indeed it does have these: JSF, Spring, Struts, Hibernate, JAX-WS, JAX-RS, and numerous other topics are addressed to varying degrees.
The site isn't devoted exclusively to server-side tutorials, though. Recent posts include mobile development topics, and the links at the bottom of the page connect you to reference pages and other useful sites.
I've poked around through a couple of the tutorials and, while they won't take you from "zero to hero", they do seem to provide a nice overview of the subject at hand. They also offer an occasional explanatory comment that is missing from far too many texts, sites, and doc pages. It's not a perfect site, but I like it.
The Bottom Line
mkyong.com offers a nice "summary site" of server-side tutorials, mobile dev posts, and reference links. Check it out!
All the best,

Yes, but...
"These are very pretty shoes. I really do wish they would work for me...Unfortunately, they fit way too snug across the toe. I own several pairs of GUESS pumps and have not had any trouble up to now. I think they would be quite comfortable if I had a slightly narrower foot or if they fit like every other pair of GUESS shoes I own. The construction looks good though there is some sticky goo here and there, I think that was likely the storage/shipping and could easily be removed.The other issue is the color. The picture looks rather like a bright reddish coral but the description is bright pink. I looked at the reviews to see if there was any info there regarding the color and one said that they were more coral than pink.Yes, but...Well, erm, they really are more salmon colored I'd say (Crayola salmon, not the real thing). It's a very pretty color but not what I need and certainly not what is shown.So, Pretty? Check.Good Construction? Check.Bright pink? Erm?Fit? Good for an average to narrow foot I think.Comfort? If they fit well I think theyd be quite wearable.I can recommend these to a shopper looking for a fun pair of pumps so long as they dont need a perfect color match and their foot is not remotely wide."

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.
"Counters - Introduction" showing 2 items.
Counter, Deschiens Compteur
- Description
- Counting the number of revolutions of a shaft allowed steamship owners to gauge the distance between ports, helped gas companies measure the quantity of their product sold, and aided engineers seeking to determine when a steam pump would require fuel. Combined with a watch, revolution counters allowed one to measure the velocity of any number of machines.
- Eugène Deschiens, whose business was active in Paris from 1866 until 1894, was an eminent manufacturer of revolution counters and velocity meters (known also as tachometers). An 1884 article on tachometers reported that his instrument was "so well known we need not describe it." His devices won prizes at national and international exhibitions. They were used on ships of both the French and the British navies, as well as by a range of other manufacturers.
- This small cylindrical instrument has brass sides, a glass top, and a metal bottom painted black. Under the glass are five windows, which show digits. Steel or German silver rods extend from opposite sides of the cylinder. A section of the case contains eight steel pieces that may be used to turn these rods and hence cause the counter to count. One of these has an ivory handle. The pieces are in different shapes, so that they will link to different mechanisms.
- A mark inside the glass top read: COMPTEUR (/) SYSTÈME BREVETÉ S.G.D.G. (/) No 701. Another in the same location reads: E. Deschiens (/) Constructeur (/) PARIS.
- The wooden case is lined with satin and velvet and partly covered with leather. A mark on the lining of the lid reads: MÉDAILLES de MERITE VIENNE 1873 (/) OR, PLATINE & ARGENT PARIS 1875 (/) MÉCANIQUE de PRÉCISION (/) TÉLÉGRAPHIE & HOROLOGERIE (/) ÉLECTRIQUES (/) E. DESCHIENS (/) 123 Boulevard St Michel (/) PARIS.

Revolution Counter by A. Sainte of Paris
- Description
- This portable revolution counter has a handle at one end. The point at the other end is pressed against the end of the axis of the shaft whose revolutions are counted. In between are two wheels. When the lower wheel turns once, the upper wheel moves one tenth of its circumference. The edges of both wheels are divided into 100 equal parts. Each tenth division is numbered.
- The lower wheel is labeled: TENS. Its divisions are numbered clockwise from 0 to 9 on the inside, and counterclockwise from 0 to 9 on the outside. The upper wheel is labeled: HUNDREDS. Its divisions are numbered counterclockwise from 0 to 9 on the inside and clockwise from 0 to 9 on the outside. A spring disengages the wheels to allow zeroing.
- A mark on the back of one wheel reads: A. Sainte (/) A Paris.
- The end of the shaft has three attachments. The instrument also has a metal weight and fits into a velvet and satin-lined case.
- By counting the number of revolutions of the shaft of a steam engine and knowing the steam pressure and the properties of the engine, steam engineers could compute the horsepower of the engine. A. Sainte patented a device for this purpose in 1877, and exhibited it at the Exhibition Universelle held in Paris in 1878. A form of the device was still being manufactured as late as 1903.
