On Thursday heavy rains in the mountains led to flash flooding in Ferron and Huntington canyons. Flood water rushed down the creek beds and washed out the road just past Millsite golf course and before you get to the Millsite State Park entrance. This has been a trouble spot over the years and has washed out before. Mud rolled across the golf course on the new hole eight and the current hole number six and seven. Water rushed down the middle of the road and side of the road. The Behling home on Canyon Road saw the water rise and fill their yard. Mud rushed across the road leaving behind debris.
Another problem area was in Trail Canyon in Huntington Canyon. Eyewitness Alex Stoddard said, "It has been a sweltering summer. Three months of unforgiving heat. But today on July 29, things changed. It happened suddenly and unexpectedly. I was in my room, cleaning and playing video games when was a crack of thunder that made it sound as though the mountain had split in half.
"Wow, that was loud. I thought.""
"But about a minute later, there was the sound of rain. But not just any rain this rain fell in sheets. Buckets. Tubs. The noise was loud and constant. Anyone who took one step into the downpour was instantly drenched and I had to rescue my sister's turtle which had been put out on the deck of our house.
"The intense rain sent my siblings into an uproar. They were all outside, jumping in and out of the rain, pushing each other into it, even one-year-old Brett was having fun, flailing his hands, and sputtering.
"Then they all screamed and pointed at the thick mud that was spilling down the mountainside and onto the road. They screamed and pointed at the water that had completely flooded the creek and spilled into our garden...
"And then they screamed when the water began to carry the big funhouse block away. Fortunately, my brother was able to grab it and roll it back to the yard.
"Eventually, the rain dissipated. But it left behind a mess. Mud everywhere and piled on the road and filled to the brim in the creek. It was a rainfall to remember," said Stoddard.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said some Ferron residents reported water in their basements from the flooding.
Mud on the fairways at the Millsite Golf Course is causing problems. "We have scraped the cart paths where the mud accumulated. We are going to wait until the rest of the mud dries out and scrape off the lawn areas, then wash it off as best we can," said Mike Willson.

Q. We have a 30-gallon tank in our living room with red parrot fish and silver dollars. The same fish have been in it now for more than 7 years. I was wondering how long these fish can live and what is their natural life span? --Lance Backos, Holtsville
A. We really do not know the natural life span of many fish as it is hard for us to track them from birth to a death of old age in a natural setting. Many aquarium fish do live more than a decade in a fish tank, but that is not a natural environment. Thus it is hard to tell if their life span is longer or shorter than nature directed that it should be.
Most Popular
I have a friend who has had a silver dollar fish in her tank for just over 20 years. This fish has outlived three glass tank changes in its life.
I am sure many of our readers have similar stories of how long their fish live. If you have a geriatric aquarium fish, please let me know how long you have had it and what species it is. I will tally the responses in a future column.
Q. My 3-year-old Yorkie thinks that she is part otter -- she loves to play in water. The problem is that she plays in her water dish so much that she splashes all the water out in 10 minutes. Not only does this make a big mess, but then there is no water for my Chihuahua to drink. I give them as much as they want to drink when I am home and then take up the dish so the Yorkie cannot splash it out. They seem fine with this, but I hate the fact that if they are thirsty when we are not home then they have nothing to drink. What can I do about this situation? --Maria Bastidas, Uniondale
A. Pet stores sell heavy-duty glass water bottles with stainless steel mounting brackets and spouts. They are pretty much indestructible. I have even used them for big parrots and monkeys.
The mounting brackets are designed to be screwed onto the outside of a cage so that the bottle is mounted on the outside of the cage with the spout going into the cage so the animals can drink. However the bracket can be reversed so that you can screw it to a wall and then clip the bottle right up against the wall at a convenient height for both dogs. Then all they have to do is lick the water out of the spout. The spouts are 5/8 of an inch wide so the dogs will be comfortable with this, and there is a stainless steel ball inside the spout that falls into place when the dog is not drinking out of it to prevent the water from coming out. This should solve the issue for you, but remember that the water bottle must be taken completely apart every day and washed out to prevent bacteria from growing in it.
Q. I have had two parakeets together in the same cage now for three years. One has a beak that is just fine, but the other one's beak has grown so long that it is now touching its chest. I have a cuttlebone in the cage for them to chew on and one of those sandstone perches that are supposed to trim the birds' nails and beaks, but obviously the one bird is not using them. What can I do about the beak and how can I encourage the bird to use the cuttlebone? --Tina Andrews, Garden City
A. This is more a medical condition than a husbandry issue. The bird has some kind of medical condition that has caused the beak to overgrow. It could be a liver problem, but this is really for a vet to say. You need to take the bird to an avian vet to get the beak trimmed and to diagnose what is wrong with the bird so that the situation can be corrected. The problem will not go away by itself even if you trimmed the bill on your own.

Warriors baseball headed to second-round playoffs
By: Lance Cpl. Antwaun Jefferson
Quantico Sentry
Quantico, VA | May 9, 2012
The Quantico Middle/High School Boys Baseball Team has been on a figurative rollercoaster this past week as they get faced off against two evenly matched teams right before their Delaney Athletic Conference playoff game.
On May 3, the Warriors only had to play five out of seven innings against Saint Michael the Archangel High School Warriors before the mercy rule was put into effect. In the end, the Warriors demolished Saint Michaels, 12-2.
"We were more aggressive at the plate and on the base paths," said Paul Roy. "We missed out on one run but we took advantage of most opportunities presented to us, which made for a great game."
There was no time for a rest as the Warriors faced-off against the Massanutten Military Academy Colonels at Woodstock, Va., the next day. In that game though, the Warriors had trouble bringing in runs. Before the Warriors knew it, the game was taken out of their hands and in the fifth inning, the Colonels beat them, 13-3.
Now even after the loss, the Warriors kept their heads up and looked forward to their first playoff game on Tuesday against the Highland High School Highlanders at Quantico.
"I'm hoping to win this playoff game," Roy said. "I think we're going in as the better team and the Warriors know they should win. It's actually too bad the season is coming to an end. The more games they play, the more experience they get and the more natural things seem to have been coming together."
It was a close game all the way down to the final inning. The game was tied, 2-2, in the bottom of the seventh with the Warriors at bat with two outs. The Warriors team captain, Ronald, a senior, was ready to bat but before he got the chance to the Highlanders walked him to load the bases.
With another Warrior at bat, and the game on the line, tension filled the air. The Highlanders pitcher through the ball too low for their catcher get to it and the ball bounced over his head. With this small opportunity, Cody, an eighth grade player for the Warriors, sprinted for the home plate and dove head first, trying to beat the catcher.
As, the dust settled and everyone was silent, awaiting the umpire's call. "Safe," yelled the umpire and the Warriors, along with their families, went crazy as they witnessed one of the best games the Warriors had this season.
The Warriors current record is 7-8 and they are now headed to Fredericksburg to play the Fredericksburg Christian School Eagles in the second round of the playoffs on Thursday.

Market check: The Federal Reserve is blanketing the airwaves with keynote speeches again, and the effort at transparency may end up adding to the confusion. With last week's market losses driven in part by fewer easy-money expectations after the FOMC minutes, William Dudley, president of the New York Fed, is the latest dove this morning painting a more cautious economic picture and fanning the market's QE3 hopes. "It is too soon to conclude that we are out of the woods," Dow Jones Newswires' Cynthia Lin quotes Dudley as saying in Syracuse this morning. "Real economic activity has yet to be strong enough on a sustained basis to make a big dent in the overall amount of slack in the U.S. economy." That's after Janet Yellen, the Fed's numer two official, last night made what the Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath called an "emphatic" case for sticking to low-interest rate policies.
Fund watch: The RBS Gold Trendpilot ETN (TBAR) is, in ETF Database's Stoyan Bojinov's words, a "hands off" option for gold investors. The trend-following strategy behind this product tracks either gold bullion or the yield on a hypothetical investment in 3-month T-bills depending how gold's been performing. The 14-month old fund, which has a 1% fee when it's tracking the benchmark index, has only grabbed about $26 million in assets.
In the news: Fund flows have been more encouraging this year but not in March, Bloomberg reports: Investors withdrew a net $7.5 billion from U.S. stock funds in March, Strategic Insight told the newswire. "Investor confidence remains fragile," Avi Nachmany, Strategic Insight research director tells Bloomberg. "The optimism on Wall Street has yet to reach Main Street."
In case you missed it: The SEC is digging into hedge-fund data in an attempt to figure out whether funds are putting markets at risk, and whom. Hedge funds are cutting down commodity bets lately.

Accreditation is a disciplined management style that results in professional integrity and quality.

Metabolic Essentials (120 capsules, 1-month supply)
Item# MTB10
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
Metabolic Syndrome—also known as "Syndrome X"—is a set of risk factors including:
- A waist circumference more than 40" in men and more than 35" in women
- Serum triglycerides of 150 mg/dL or above
- HDL cholesterol of 40 mg/dL or lower in men and 50 mg/dL or lower in women
- Fasting blood glucose levels of 110 mg/dL or above
- Blood pressure readings of 130/85 or higher
If you have a few or all of these concerns, act now to protect and support your future health. My Metabolic Essentials is a proprietary formula of powerful nutrients proven to combat each risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome. It features GreenSelect Phytosome, a remarkable new green tea extract for impressive weight loss results that's three times more bioavailable than ordinary green tea extracts, plus stays in your bloodstream far longer. Clinical study subjects lost up to 30 pounds in 90 days using this nutrient along with a calorie-restricted diet. Even better, weight loss actually accelerated after day 45 (when most other weight loss efforts hit a wall). The same research found that subjects had a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels.
A second powerful ingredient called AmlaMax™ is a patented, carefully standardized extract of Emblica officinalis fruit, also known as Indian Gooseberry. This remarkable nutrient has been shown to not only increase levels of helpful HDL cholesterol by up to 16%, but also lower C-reactive protein levels, offering significant cardiovascular benefits. I also included the herb Coccinia indica, which has been shown in clinical trials to reduce blood glucose levels by up to 18.5%, making it the perfect nutrient to address early blood sugar concerns. And he added to that 400 IU of vitamin D, which plays an important role in helping your body process glucose. To round out this comprehensive formula, Metabolic Essentials includes magnesium, which I have recommended for decades to promote healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health. Metabolic Essentials is the first and only nutrient formula to specifically target every risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome to help ensure your long-term good health.
Metabolic Essentials:
- Help you lose up to 30 pounds in 90 days (along with a healthy diet and exercise)
- Reduces body fat percentage
- Raises HDL cholesterol levels
- Lowers serum triglyceride levels

'Suitcase' packs his bags for Oil City
Jason Gregor
September 03 2009 02:47PM
The Oilers filled the void of Bob Mancini with Mike Sillinger, who spent 17 years in the NHL. "Suitcase" Sillinger, a nickname he earned after playing for 12 different NHL teams, will start immediately.
Here is a quote from the Oilers press release.
"We are very excited to have Mike fill such an important role with us," said Tambellini. "We know his experience of 1,000-plus NHL games will benefit our younger players and the development of their careers."
As a member of the Oilers Hockey Management Team, Sillinger will work closely with all Oiler draft picks in the junior, college and European ranks. He will also be working with Edmonton's prospects in the AHL and ECHL.
Sillinger has seen action with 12 NHL clubs, most recently suiting up for the New York Islanders last year. Originally drafted 11th overall in 1990 by the Detroit Red Wings, Sillinger began his NHL career in Detroit before continuing on to play for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Phoenix Coyotes, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and New York Islanders.
Mancini returned to the Oilers as Development Coach in 2007, but was let go earlier this year. He was also previously a member of Edmonton's scouting staff for four seasons between 2000-01 and 2003-04. He left the Oilers after that to become the General Manager and head coach of the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League.
Sillinger has lots of NHL experience, and should be able to help the young kids through different transitions of their career, since he moved around so often, but this is his first venture into management so we'll how he fares in this role. I guess this ends the ridiculous rumblings yesterday that stated Jason Smith would take this job. Smith will stay in Ottawa for at least another year.
Oil tidbits
I spoke with Robert Nilsson today after his skate at the Kinsmen Arenas and he looks like he has gained a few pounds and says he feels much stronger and in much better shape than previous seasons. He changed his off-season program and spent time working with a coach every day, rather than working out by himself.
"What I used to accomplish in two hours by myself, I would get done in 20 minutes with my coach this summer. I feel much better and certain I will make a good impression from the start of camp," said Nilsson.
What is interesting is that as we spoke Mike Comrie strolled by and didn't talk to the media today. When I asked Nilsson if he was concerned about a player like Comrie coming into camp he replied, "Not at all. He is a good player and we all want to win, if he helps us that is great."
What Nilsson might not know is, that if Comrie comes in he could push Nilsson out of a job. I'd rather roll the dice with Nilsson over Comrie at this points, but we'll see.
Heard anything on the Kessel front? Is there even a chance of it happening?
I'm not the biggest Nilsson fan but yeah you go with him over Comrie for sure. Seems like a no brainer to me, almost guarantees the Oil do the opposite.
September 03 2009, 03:08PM
With Comrie you know what you're getting.
With Nilsson you don't.
Not always better to go with the devil you know?
September 03 2009, 03:12PM
We don't need Comrie, another small forward is not the answer. Plus, I think, a lot of players (ie. Penner & Nilsson) are going to be turning things around under the new regime.
I think that if indeed the lights gdo go on for Kenta's kid he'll be all and more than Bill Comrie's kid.
Why not spend the 1.5 M on Malhotra? Anybody know the reason we don't like him? Isn't he more of what we need in a player at this point if we're bringing somebody else in?
September 03 2009, 03:19PM
Comrie in, Nilsson out. Comrie can help mentor Gagner and Cogliano*
*Gagner will be sleeping with Bulin's wife in 5..4..3..2...
September 03 2009, 03:20PM
Woo Silly the Suitcase is coming to Etown. I can thank him in person for the run he went on a couple years ago to carry me to fantasy glory.
As for Comrie I don't deny he's got some skills, but where is he going to fit? We seem pretty set (unfortunately) with Horcoff and Gagne down the middle on the top two lines. Comrie isn't a third or fourth line presence.

Nilsson's had plenty of chances - hopefully the new coaching will help him - but ultimately a player's fate lies in his own hands.
I'd take Comrie over Nilsson in a heartbeat right now. Of course yes..we could use some size instead - but we don't see the big picture (that hopefully management IS looking at) and perhaps there is a trade or 12 in the works for some addition by subtraction and Nilsson is halfway out the door already...
Comrie > Nilsson.
Less money, proven past performance. I'll take Mike for Robert to go, please.
September 03 2009, 03:25PM
It's been reported that Comrie was skating with a number of Oilers in pre-camp conditioning sessions. The dirt today is that it's maybe more than that. My courier just let me know that Comrie's game equipment was delivered to Rexall this afternoon. Does that signal at least a try-out? Comrie wouldn't have game equipment delivered to Rexall via courier if he was just skating with the boys, would he?
Regarding Sillinger, I'm kind of disappointed that he won't be working more closely with the boys on the big club. In 122 face-offs with NYI last season, he went better than 58% on the dot. I wish he could teach our centers, be they Comrie or otherwise, how he did that.
September 03 2009, 03:26PM
I thought I read that comrie isn't in the cards straight from tambo today
September 03 2009, 03:26PM
The difference - the key, most important difference - between Comrie and Nilsson is simply this:
Robert Nilsson is under contract, and will cost something to dispose of. Mike Comrie is not under contract, and will cost something to acquire.
If the difference in performance is not large, then the course of action is obvious in a choice between the two.
September 03 2009, 03:30PM
Replacing Bobby with Mike would be ok if it doesn't cost us anything...
September 03 2009, 03:30PM
It was Dan barnes of the journal
Can't wait for Brownlee to get on the air...
September 03 2009, 03:44PM
Er... so Tambo says there are no plans to take on Comrie. I guess that means Mike Comrie is an Oiler. Dang.
September 03 2009, 03:51PM
@ Legion:
Tambo didn't exactly say Comrie wasn't in the cards. He said:
"No decisions have been made to add any player to our roster. We've got a full roster, we've got salary cap issues. Nothing's been decided at this point."
That's a dance around the question with a healthy sprinkling of spin. Add to this the fact that Tambo is reportedly (and justifiably) not happy with this move Katz has instrumented, and I can see why he answered the question the way he did.

Would it be unbelievably bad business to put Nilsson on waivers and sign Comrie? If Nilsson gets picked up, I suppose we've 'disposed' of him for nothing - but indirectly gained someone that's perhaps a step ahead and cheaper.
I know you always want to get a return on investment, and at least get a pick. Maybe management gets forced into a move like this if Katz is forcing the Comrie thing?
September 03 2009, 04:25PM
Was he a good face-off guy?
Maybe he could be here for training camp and work with our centers on draws.
September 03 2009, 04:38PM
So if you role the dice does that mean you are playing the dice in a role playing game?
September 03 2009, 04:39PM
If they sign Comrie and go into the season with 8 french fries (Gagne, Cogs, Sully, Nilsson, Hemsky, Comrie, Brule, Pouliot) I may get physically sick to my stomach. That line-up will get eaten alive.

2008-09 = 58.2% (only 7gp) 2007-08 = 56.3% (52gp) 2006-07 = 58.8% (82gp)
so that would be a yes

Montreal thinks that kinda lineup gets you a cup.
Losing Nilsson would be regretted....
You guys sure get excited.
Kotalik out, Brule in Brodziak out, Comrie in
Doesn't seem earth shattering to me... we won't get pushed around more than last year with comrie int he line up since Brodziak played smaller than Comrie does.

@ Jonathan Willis: Is this what we are reduced too? Their -Posessive ie: They took THEIR ball home They're- short for THEY ARE ie: THEY'RE doing something There- location description ie: Put it over
THERE "THEY'RE palying with THEIR ball over THERE."
How about "of" or "have"..... It's "Comrie should not HAVE left to begin with" Not "Comrie should not OF left to begin with"
We all make spelling and Grammar mistakes from time to time.... Especially on the Nation with it's lack of a damn edit button.
Oh look at this post from Jonathan Willis on September 1st titled, "Powerplay Options"
"Because so little of the game is spent on the powerplay, it's difficult to get a good idea of a player's proficiency on the powerplay from a single year – the numbers are just to small."
It should be TOO. This could be a spelling mistake or a grammar mistake and it doesn't really matter but for whatever reason it drives me nuts a little. BOOYA!!!! hahaha you know I love you Willis!
September 03 2009, 06:11PM
Oh come on!! I spend all that time working on a rebuttle and then you erase your post? haha take mine down now too.... please.
September 03 2009, 06:13PM
And furthur more, I hate it when I type something in this little box using spaces and jumping lines and it looks good but when I press enter and post it, it all gets mixed up and I look like an idiot..... HAHA
Does it really make sense to add another contract and get even closer to the cap with a player like Comrie?
Wouldn't an executive who is looking beyond immediate returns keep a little roster and cap space room so that a few weeks into the season when a better, bigger player becomes available the Oil wouldn't be hamstrung?
The philosophy the team seems to have is that if you've got money, spend it. Why is this cap money burning a hole in the pocket of Lowe?
We're going to be stuck in mediocre land until Lowe is gone.

I dint actuly erase it Im asuming bignofuel did for my owne good, cause pickin on grammar makes me look pety ;)
September 03 2009, 07:51PM
@ Travis Dakin:
And ouch ;)
Seems like the Oilers are looking pretty good in the coaching department and upstairs except Klowe, I would think they could come up with something better then Mike Comrie. Sure would love to see Kessel here. Hey Greger are you and your man purse heading down to Telus Field to see Bryan Adams Tomorrow night?
September 03 2009, 08:48PM
@ Travis Dakin: Sir, you wield grammar like a knife in the back alley of the interwebs. Now, if only the education system could explain "then" and "than" sufficiently.

Hey Gregor what was the shot at "Clareview" guys as not being tough? LOL. Us NS boys fight fair, with fists, bats, and beer bottles, not like them southsiders with drive bys, molotov cocktails, and guns? Cheap asses....just kidding buddy
September 03 2009, 09:15PM
@ Anthony Ta No dude, the Pronger rumours are totally true. I heard it from a friend of a friend whose second cousin was dating a neighbor of one of the 2006 Oilers.
September 03 2009, 09:19PM
@ wazy08 That's because the southsiders can afford cars. ZING!

September 03 2009, 11:54PM
my first thought was that the team had signed him as a player... i almost sh*t.
this can't hurt to have another new face with the club.

Haas Challenge Grant Supports Veteran Training
1. March 2013
When U.S. servicemen and women return from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, they often face joblessness and bleak prospects for a career. Yet more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs reportedly go unfilled in the United States. Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, is helping solve both of these problems. It provides free training and certification in manufacturing trade skills to veterans. Numerous suppliers of manufacturing equipment have rallied around this cause by supporting this organization with donations of cash, machine tools and shop supplies. Already a generous donor to Workshops for Warriors, the Gene Haas Foundation is now offering a matching grant for as much as $100,000 to increase support of veteran training.
Haas Automation entrusted four new CNC machines to Workshops for Warriors that are used for training students in the newly named Haas Technical Education Center. Pictured above is the spring 2013 CNC class.

Search and rescue workers continued to scour a rural area in central Virginia on Saturday after a hot-air balloon carrying three people caught fire and crashed Friday night.
The incident happened shortly before 8 p.m. ET Friday evening in Caroline County, Va., after three hot-air balloons took off from Meadow Event Park and headed northeast to a pre-approved landing zone about two miles away from the park, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corrine Geller said at a press conference late Friday. Two of the balloons landed safely, but as the third balloon attempted to land, witnesses said it struck a power line and burst into flames near the Caroline Pines subdivision.
No wreckage has been found yet. A pilot and two passengers were believed to be aboard, Gellar said.
Based on witness accounts, including information from the other two balloon pilots at the scene, the basket -- or gondola -- of the doomed balloon caught fire and two explosions occurred, the second of which severed the gondola from the balloon, Gellar said.
Carrie Hager-Bradley said she saw the balloon in flames on her way home from the grocery store and heard people yelling, according to WWBT TV.
"They were just screaming for anybody to help them," the station quoted her as saying. "'Help me, help me, sweet Jesus, help. I'm going to die. Oh my God, I'm going to die,'" Hager-Bradley said she heard one person screaming.
Because the balloon and gondola separated during the blaze, with the balloon ascending and the gondola descending, authorities were searching for two crash sites, Gellar said.
According to witnesses, it appeared the pilot tried to take emergency measures, and the two passengers may have jumped from the fiery gondola, she said.
"We will continue through the night," Geller said. "We've got additional resources coming in until we find the wreckage."
The balloon was part of the Mid-Atlantic Balloon Festival, an event at the Meadow Event Park in Caroline County, Va. The incident took place several miles away from the park, and Virginia State Police and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating, said Greg Hicks, the park's vice president of communications.
Gellar said grid searches were being conducted, but were hampered by darkness, dense forest and rough terrain. She also said police "have an idea (of the identities of the missing) and have been reaching out to family members."
The Meadow Event Park is known for being the birthplace of thoroughbred race horse Secretariat.
The Mid-Atlantic Balloon Festival was scheduled to take place at the park Saturday and Sunday. According to the park's website, a "Friday Flights Happy Hour" kicked off roughly two hours before the crash.
Balloon teams from across the country were expected to take part in the weekend event, but a statement posted Friday evening on the festival's website announced it had been canceled due to the accident.

WoW!! Berserk is getting animated and. After 20 years, it's about time and they should do it with justice. I like what I'm seeing do far The animation seems to be superb. Can't wait to actually see Guts cutting everyone with his big sword.
WOW, the quality is superb, it doesn't feel to be aired weekly, unless they were preparing for years ;D . Even as a OVA (maybe like Break Blade ?), I will watch this (Berserk btw ;P).
^ From what I read on it, it will be hourly episodes or movie sized episodes. Like Katanagari or they just might release like 1 or 2 a year but the good news is that it will be the whole story based on the manga from start to its current and probably continue. This why I'm hoping that the author actually might be trying to put out more chapters than usual.
Toriko, Deadman Wonderland, and Ao no Exorcist are the ones I'm most interested in. I already know Ao no Exorcist is awesome based on manga, so no doubts about that.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
Why hasn't anyone talked about the petty revival of Rurouni Kenshin? It's been announced in Shonen Jump that it will have a Blu-ray release of its movie and OVAs.
Yeah!! It's getting reanimated with the blood, gore and mindbreaking scenes they omitted from the first adaptation. I have high expectations for this animation.

INDIANAPOLIS – Earlier today, Indiana's Education Roundtable voted to endorse the new Indiana Academic Standards recommended by the Indiana Department of Education. The vote was a crucial step in Indiana's process of approving new college and career ready academic standards for English Language Arts and Math. The standards now go before the Indiana State Board of Education for final approval by an up or down vote on Monday, April 28, 2014.
In response to the Education Roundtable's endorsement, Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz issued the following statement:
"I am very pleased with today's vote and I want to thank the members of the Roundtable for their support. My staff and the Technical, Advisory, and Evaluation Teams, as well as the College and Career Readiness Panel have spent thousands of hours working on this standards review process to ensure that our standards are not just college and career ready, but the highest in the country. In addition, this process has been the most transparent standards review I have ever witnessed as we had multiple public meetings and expert review while incorporating thousands of public comments into these final standards.
"As a teacher, I have always trusted Indiana educators to design the best standards for our students. They have always been mindful of the changes needed to meet the future needs of our children. Academic standards are about what our children need to know and be able to do. As we shift to our college and career ready standards we need our students to more fully engage in critical thinking, analysis, research, inquiry and problem solving. I am once again proud of Indiana educators' finest work on our new standards.
"Moving forward, the Department will be working with local schools throughout the state to implement these standards. Additionally, I am excited to take the next step of aligning these standards into a new statewide college and career ready assessment in 2015-2016."

London Welsh will be chasing a third straight Aviva Premiership victory when they welcome Gloucester to the Kassam Stadium on Sunday.
London Welsh will be chasing a third consecutive Premiership win when they welcome the Cherry and Whites to the Kassam Stadium on Sunday.
Exiles coach Lyn Jones makes one change to the starting line-up that beat Sale 29-19 – a result that saw Welsh back up their win over Exeter Chiefs.
Seb Jewell comes into the side at full-back for his first start of the season, with Tom Arscott moving to the wing in place of Phil MacKenzie. The Canadian is named among the replacements.
The only other change to Welsh's matchday 23 sees back-row forward Alfie To'oala restored to the bench in place of Ed Williamson.
Among the other replacements is scrum-half Nick Runciman, who began his career at Gloucester before spending three seasons at London Welsh. He re-joined the Cherry and Whites in 2011 for a season before recently returning to the Exiles.
Welsh will gladly take a repeat of the last time the two sides met, at Kingsholm in a pre-season in August 2011. The Exiles came out on top, 24-23, thanks to tries from Mike Powell, Vili Ma'asi and a late effort from Rob Lewis, with Ross kicking the winning conversion.
It's more than fourteen years since London Welsh and Gloucester faced each other in a competitive match when Gloucester ran out 34-18 winners
Meanwhile, Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies keeps faith with the majority of the line-up that defeated Wasps, but does introduce three new faces. The only change to the backline sees Mike Tindall swap places with Henry Trinder to partner Billy Twelvetrees.
Up front, Australian Huia Edmonds is in for Darren Dawidiuk who picked up a knee injury against Wasps while number eight Ben Morgan is ruled out with a dead calf.
Finally, Peter Buxton, who has been in fine form in the Aviva Premiership A League, is named at blindside flanker with Sione Kalamafoni moving across to number eight.
It will be Gloucester's first clash with London Welsh in the Premiership at Kassam Stadium.
"It's very important that we've got the right mindset going into Sunday to play London Welsh," said Redpath.
"It's going to be a physical encounter. I think that the two sides that they've beaten probably didn't give them enough respect and, because of that, they finished on the wrong end of the result.
"They're a very strong team, a proud side. They've got a lot of points to prove, individually and collectively, and, if you get it wrong against them, they will beat you."
Form: London Welsh have now recorded successive Aviva Premiership victories over Exeter and Sale. The Exiles have won two of the three league games they have played at Kassam Stadium. Gloucester are unbeaten in their last three encounters since their opening day defeat at home to Northampton. Gloucester's most recent away loss was to London Irish at Madejski Stadium on 5 May. The two clubs have not clashed in competitive rugby since a 4th round tie in the Tetley's Bitter Cup at Old Deer Park on 3 January 1998 where Gloucester ran out 34-18 victors.
The teams:
London Welsh: 15 Seb Jewell, 14 Tom Arscott, 13 Sonny Parker, 12 Hudson Tonga'uiha, 11 Nick Scott, 10 Gordon Ross, 9 Tyson Keats, 8 Ed Jackson, 7 Michael Hills, 6 Daniel Browne, 5 Matt Corker, 4 Jonathan Mills (capt), 3 Paulica Ion, 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Frank Montanella.
Replacements: 16 Dan George, 17 Tom Bristow, 18 Arthur Joly, 19 Kirill Kulemin, Alfie To'oala, 21 Nick Runciman, 22 Ryan Davis, 23 Phil MacKenzie.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Jonny May, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 James Simpson-Daniel, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Andy Hazell, 6 Peter Buxton, 5 Jim Hamilton (capt), 4 Tom Savage, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Koree Britton, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Shaun Knight, 19 Will James, 20 Akapusi Qera, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Henry Trinder, 23 Martyn Thomas.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Seek immediate medical care if you develop severe diarrhea or vomiting and are in or have very recently returned from a country where cholera occurs.
If you believe you may have been exposed to cholera, but your symptoms are not severe, call your family doctor or general practitioner. Be sure to tell him or her that you suspect your illness may be cholera.
Here's some information to help you get ready and what to expect from your doctor.
The list below suggests questions to raise with your doctor about cholera.
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may leave you time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
Be sure to stay well-hydrated in the time leading up to your appointment. For diarrhea and vomiting that may be cholera-related, drinks such as water, juice and soda won't adequately replenish both fluids and electrolytes. Instead, use an oral rehydration solution such as RecoverORS for adults or Pedialyte for children.
In most developing countries, you can buy powdered packets of oral rehydration salts (ORS) originally developed by the World Health Organization to treat diarrhea and dehydration in infants with cholera. Reconstitute the powder in water according to the directions on the package.
If no oral rehydration solutions are available, you can make your own by combining 1 quart (about 1 liter) of bottled or boiled water with 6 level teaspoons (about 30 milliliters) of table sugar and 1/2 level teaspoon (about 2.5 milliliters) of table salt.

Wellmont looking at future options
Executives exploring aligning with another system
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Change is coming for a local health care company.
Wellmont Health System announced Thursday morning the company will spend the next year evaluating options to meet the long-term needs of the organization.
We've learned Wellmont officials started a process to look at future options, including aligning with another health system.
Wellmont Health System President and CEO Denny DeNarvaez told News 5 the company has no specific timetable for any changes, but said something happening in 2014 was a real possibility.
"It's more important that the process be complete, do our due diligence and make sure we make the right decision, rather than the quickest decision," said DeNarvaez.
The announcement said it has become increasingly difficult for companies like Wellmont to continue to operate as they have in the past due to changes in healthcare.
A press release cited low patient volumes, reimbursement cuts and possible performance penalties under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as challenges for healthcare providers.

Stockbridge, Massachusetts is best known for its preservation of the past—the cozy, small-town feel that inspired Norman Rockwell's most celebrated work. But for a month, its familiar Main Street landscape will be chock-a-block with contemporary art. Stockbridge does have a handful of permanent galleries dotted around town, but the first annual Stockbridge Art Lab is something different—a host of so-called pop-up galleries, borrowing space from existing businesses. The work on display—from paintings to pottery to site-specific sculpture—comes from nearly fifty faculty members at the IS183 art school in the village of Interlaken.Seated in a studio at IS183, which has repurposed a brightly painted 19th-century Victorian-style schoolhouse, director Hope Sullivan says the experiment will show Stockbridge from a different perspective.
"I think as you're wandering from pop-up gallery to pop-up gallery, I mean these are all spaces that are being re-thought, re-conceived to showcase artwork. It'll be a fun way to re-see Stockbridge, and to really explore the town and creep around it and look in new spots and see things in a new light."
Lucie Castaldo, of the school, curated the work. She looked for art that would relate to its environment.
"So there's everything from installation sculpture in Hall's Garage to oil paintings hung in Berkshire Bank."
For the opening reception, the garage will not only play home to two large sculptures, but a performance by cellist Paul de Jong, formerly of popular electro-acoustic band The Books. Around the corner [sfx up] at Seven Salon Spa, as stylists chat and patrons catch up on magazines while waiting for their hair treatments to finish, co-owner Maurice Peterson describes the art headed their way.
"Basically abstract but there's some representational too. it's all very delightful and worth coming to see. Because we love art, and also art lovers will come down to the salon to see the art, so it was great."
At the stately Red Lion Inn, which is co-sponsoring the Stockbridge Art Lab, A collection of antique teapots will be removed to make room a new display and fiber art will share space in the lobby with the house cat . Things kick off with a reception at 5 p.m. tonight, and the art will be up through June 3.

|In response to Re: Building a custom radiator
: Hi all,
: I would like to convert a one pipe monoflow hot watr system to a baseboard loop. The problem is that the job spec requires I keep the radiators under the windows only. Doing so will not allow for suffucient BTU output. I looked into various types of alternative radiators, but was shocked by how expensive they became.
: My question is, can I build my own custom radiator by stacking one baseboard elemnt on top of another adn if so, should I pipe the water flow through one then the other using lots of ells, or should I use a monoflow tee to divert the flow through each element.
: My guess is that I am not the first person to think of this, so if there happen to be any commercially available solutions like this, I would love to hear about them too. Thanks!

The weight is nice, light...but not so light that it makes it blade heavy with anything I have paired it up with. Durability has been great thus far.

Mark Steyn: Hagel vs. too-big-to-fail Defense Department
If you had buttonholed me in the Senate men's room circa 2003 and told me that a decade hence Joe Biden would be America's vice president, John Kerry Secretary of State, and Chuck Hagel Secretary of Defense, I'd have laughed and waited for the punch line: The Leahy administration?
President Lautenberg? Celebrate lack of diversity! But even in the republic's descent into a Blowhardocracy staffed by a Zombie House of Lords, there are distinctions to be drawn. Sen. Kerry having been reliably wrong on every foreign policy issue of the past 40 years, it would seem likely that at this stage in his life he will be content merely to be in office, jetting hither and yon boring the pants off whichever presidents and prime ministers are foolish enough to grant him an audience. Beyond the photo-ops, the world will drift on toward the post-American era: Beijing will carry on gobbling up resources around the planet, Tsar Putin will flex his moobs across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the Arab Spring "democracies" will see impressive growth in the critical clitoridectomy sector of the economy, Iran will go nuclear, and John Kerry will go to black-tie banquets in Europe.
But Chuck Hagel is a different kettle of senatorial huffenpuffer. And not because of what appears to be a certain antipathy toward Jews and gays. That would be awkward at the Tony Awards, but at the Arab League the post-summit locker-room schmoozing should be a breeze. Since his celebrated "evolution" on marriage last year, President Obama is famously partial to one of those constituencies, so presumably he didn't nominate an obscure forgotten senator because of his fascinating insights into the appropriate level of "obviousness" the differently oriented should adopt. So, why Hagel? Why now?
100 jobs cartoons over three years
My comrade Jonah Goldberg says this nomination is a "petty pick" made by Obama "out of spite." I'm not so sure. If the signature accomplishment of the president's first term was Obamacare (I'm using "signature accomplishment" in the Washington sense of "ruinously expensive bureaucratic sinkhole"), what would he be looking to pull off in his second (aside from the repeal of the 22nd Amendment)? Hagel isn't being nominated to the Department of Zionist and Homosexual Regulatory Oversight but to the Defense Department. Which he calls "bloated."
"The Pentagon," he said a year ago, "needs to be pared down." Unlike current Secretary Leon Panetta, who's strongly opposed to the mandated "sequestration" cuts to the defense budget, Hagel thinks they're merely a good start.
That's why Obama's offered him the gig. Because Obamacare at home leads inevitably to Obamacuts abroad. In that sense, America will be doing no more than following the same glum trajectory of every other great power in the postwar era. I feel only a wee bit sheepish about quoting my book "After America" two weeks running, since it's hardly my fault Obama's using it as the operating manual for his second term (I may sue for breach of copyright and retire to Tahiti). At any rate, somewhere around Chapter Five, I suggest that, having succeeded Britain as the dominant power, America may follow the old country in decline, too:
"In what other ways might the mighty eagle emulate the tattered old lion? First comes reorientation, and the shrinking of the horizon. After empire, Britain turned inward: Between 1951 and 1997 the proportion of government expenditure on defense fell from 24 percent to seven, while the proportion on health and welfare rose from 22 percent to 53. And that's before New Labour came along to widen the gap further.
"Those British numbers are a bald statement of reality: You can have Euro-sized entitlements or a global military, but not both. What's easier to do if you're a democratic government that's made promises it can't afford – cut back on nanny-state lollipops, or shrug off thankless military commitments for which the electorate has minimal appetite?"
Democrats put it slightly differently: In 2004 John Kerry demanded to know why we were building firehouses in Iraq but closing them in America (the municipal fire department apparently falling, like everything else, under the federal government). Barack Obama prefers to say that it's time for the United States to do some nation-building at home – the pilot program in Afghanistan having worked out so well. Either line will do, and, like Britain's inverted budget priorities, both implicitly acknowledge that a military-industrial complex and a dependency-bureaucrat complex are incompatible. And that's before you factor in Washington-size borrowing, under which, within this decade, the interest payments on the debt will be covering the entire cost of the Chinese military. America can fund the Pentagon or the People's Liberation Army, but not both, not for long. Having gotten the citizenry to accept a supersized welfare bureaucracy, Obama reasonably enough figures he can just as easily get them used to a shrunken American presence in the wider world.
So the President is looking for his equivalent of Denis Healey, the Labour Cabinet minister who in the 1968 defense review announced an all but total withdrawal of British forces from "east of Suez" – a phrase that in the imperial imagination is less geographic than psychological.
Kipling's English Tommy on the road to Mandalay:
"Ship me somewheres east of Suez..."
And then a cheeseparing defense minister says: No, we won't. Not now, not ever again. It's over.
Who would you hire for the Pentagon's east-of-Suez moment? According to the Washington Post, Obama picked Hagel to "bridge the partisan divide."
Even for the court eunuchs of the palace media, that must be hard to type with a straight face: He seems to be all but entirely loathed by his own party. Nevertheless, he is technically a Republican, not to mention a bona fide war hero. Only Nixon can go to China, and only a pro-life, pro-gun, climate-denialist, homophobic, Strom Thurmond-loving medal-draped Republican can go to the Pentagon and tell them to start clearing out their desks. Obama has picked a guy whose rhetoric is more anti-Pentagon than his own, and who, unlike most of the Cabinet senators, has a record of executive experience that suggests he may well live up to it.
If he pulls it off, it'll be a big part of Obama's legacy. And, if he doesn't, I'm sure the media will be happy to remind everyone that, oh well, Hagel was a Republican.
But beyond the politics is a real question. He's not wrong to raise the question of Pentagon "bloat." The United States has the most lavishly funded military on the planet, and what does it buy you? In the Hindu Kush, we're taking 12 years to lose to goatherds with fertilizer.
Something is wrong with this picture. Indeed, something is badly wrong with the American way of war. And no one could seriously argue that, in the latest in the grim two-thirds-of-a-century roll call of America's unwon wars, the problem is a lack of money or resources. Given its track record, why shouldn't the Pentagon get a top-to-toe overhaul – or at least a cost-benefit analysis?
Just to be clear: I disagree with Hagel on Israel, on Iran and on most everything else. But my colleagues on the right are in denial if they don't think there are some very basic questions that need to be asked about the too-big-to-fail Defense Department. Obama would like the U.S. military to do less. Some of us would like it to do more with less – more nimbly, more artfully. But, if the national security establishment won't acknowledge there's even a problem, they're unlikely to like the solutions imposed by others. "Petty" and "spiteful"? No. Obamacare's other shoe.

Politics Counts: McConnell's Rand Paul-Style Win
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao arrive for a victory celebration following the early results of the state Republican primary May 20, 2014 in Louisville, Ky.
Getty Images
Dante Chinni writes Politics Counts as a regular Capital Journal feature. Mr. Chinni is the director of the American Communities Project at American University, which examines different types of communities across the U.S.
Coming out of Tuesday's primaries, the Republican Party's establishment is feeling better about its chances of retaking the Senate in the fall. As the Wall Street Journal posted soon after the results were in, the GOP's establishmentarians won in Kentucky and Georgia.
Going deeper into the numbers, a few things jump out of those primary tallies – and they are mostly good for the Republican Party's establishment and for the party in general for November.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's win Tuesday night looked a lot Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's primary win in 2010 – Mr. McConnell captured 60% of the vote, while Mr. Paul won 59%.
And while some may see concern for the GOP in the number of people who turned out – 355,000 for Republicans versus 402,000 for Democrats – the numbers are actually better for Republicans than they were in 2010. Then 352,000 votes were cast in the Republican primary versus 521,000 for the Democratic primary, and, of course, Mr. Paul, the Republican, won going away in the fall.
There was also good news for Mr. McConnell in the shape of his win, which seems to show what his campaign contributions showed. He did well in counties with large numbers of evangelical adherents. He captured 60% of the vote out of counties labeled as Evangelical Hubs in American University's American Community Project. Those counties are in purple on the map below.
That matched what Mr. McConnell captured statewide and it beat the 55% that Mr. Paul pulled out of those counties in his primary in 2010.
And Mr. McConnell's win was remarkably flat in terms of winning population centers. He won the six big counties where the population is greater than 100,000 people with 60% of the vote. He also won the rest of the state with 60% of the vote. That strength in rural places in particular could be important this fall, as we noted earlier this week.
In the five-candidate race to succeed Sen. Saxby Chambliss in Georgia, the two mainstream, establishment candidates – businessman David Perdue and Rep. Jack Kingston – took the top two slots and will compete in a runoff in July. It's widely believed that either of those two candidates would be the most likely to defeat Democrat Michelle Nunn in the fall.
But the numbers looked different in metro Atlanta, where former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel finished a close second suggesting she could play a role going forward in the campaign. Ms. Handel has deep roots in the area and won Fulton, Gwinnett and Forsyth counties.
Ms. Handel was backed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and was very critical of Mr. Perdue during the campaign. Considering her success in metro Atlanta, Ms. Handel could play a role in the July runoff by pushing her supporters toward either Mr. Perdue or Mr. Kingston.
As we noted earlier this week, metro Atlanta is an important area for the GOP and really for anyone seeking statewide office in Georgia – and right now Ms. Handel seems to have a good-sized base of support there and perhaps a good political hand to play.

THESE are the kind of people who tell more than a few Republican members of Congress when to jump and how high:
The conservative Club for Growth said Friday that it will punish House members who voted for a flood insurance measure aimed at helping pay for Hurricane Sandy�s damage.
The Club will �key-vote� the measure, using it to compile an annual rating for each lawmaker.
The House on Thursday morning approved the $9.7-billion increase in funding for the National Flood Insurance Program. The bill passed easily in a bipartisan 354-67 vote.
