Over a half century has passed since the end of World War II, but some Japanese leaders continue insisting their nation did nothing wrong by invading China or attacking the United States. This month, General Tosho Tamogami was fired for an essay in wrote in which Japan is the innocent victim and the United States and China are the culprits in World War II. According to the general, the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was a trap set the by the Americans and Japan's brutal invasion of China which resulted in the death of over four million Chinese really wasn't that bad. Japanese peace activists are shocked by the essay because it reveals there are still many people who work hard to justify murder, brutalization, and aggression. A recent film, "We Won't Forget" portrays the Japanese nation as being forced to invade China, kill millions, and attack the United States.
It would be beneficial for Japanese educators to study from German educators who have developed extensive programs to teach their children the truth about Nazism and its brutality. German students learn about the Holocaust unlike Japanese students who do not learn about the killing and raping by Japanese soldiers in Nanking. Perhaps, the Japanese government should invite German educators to assist their school system in developing educational programs that do not justify war and brutality. In the end, the truth is the best weapon to prevent future wars.

Guess time will tell. I just don't think he would have risked being caught over 15-20k

Arsène Wenger says there is "a lot more to come" from Olivier Giroud and believes he can develop into a similar player to Alan Smith.
The France international scored twice against West Ham on Wednesday night to take his tally for the season to 11 goals, and he also has nine assists to his name.
I am convinced there is a lot more to come from Olivier and that he can convince our fans he is the striker they look for
Wenger is pleased with the progress the striker is making in his debut season in the Premier League, and sees similarities with an Arsenal legend.
"[He is] maybe like Alan Smith, a little bit - he can develop into this kind of player," the manager said.
"Our fans like Olivier Giroud, because he is a guy who is developing very well. First of all he fights for the team, he has great qualities and charisma. I am convinced there is a lot more to come from Olivier and that he can convince our fans he is the striker they look for.
"It always takes time, but he has scored 11 goals and has many assists. He is strong in the air, defensively and offensively, and overall he has important qualities for the team."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

OMG it's Meredith from Sea Change!
March 14, 2013 , 2:59 PM by Fiona Parker
Great to have two veterans of stage and screen in our Bendigo studio today.
Jill Forster (who you may know as Meredith from Sea Change, along with her many other television roles) is directing her husband John Stanton (arguably Australia's greatest classical actor) in a show for the Castlemaine State Festival.
The play is called "And When He Falls" and sees John taking on the roles of various Kings of the Middle Ages; the bloody nature of power at that time, the intrigue and the romance... Check the festival website for more information at www.castlemainefestival.com.au
In the meantime, click on the link below to have a listen to Jill and John talking to Mornings Presenter Fiona Parker about living in Central Victoria and memories of Jill's time on Sea Change.

A Brief History of the Tire
July 28th, 2016
The tire is such a commonplace item -- it's on every car, every truck, every bicycle, every aircraft. It's easy to not give the tire a second thought, but like every other technology, the tire has an interesting history of advances and failures.
In the 19th century, carriages and wagons used steel strips for "tires" on their wheels, with the punishing sort of ride that you'd expect. In later years, they were shod with strips of natural rubber, which was an improvement but was still problematic. Solid rubber still rode pretty rough, and the natural, uncured rubber would get gummy in hot weather and shrink and harden in cold temperatures. Charles Goodyear was able to help with the invention of vul ...[more]

What's Leaking From My Car?
July 14th, 2016
You go out to your car, start it up, pull out of your parking space and see a puddle of...something...where you were parked a moment ago. This is never a good feeling. What could it be?
Fortunately, some automotive fluids are dyed different colors to make this a little easier to narrow down.
Does it appear to be water? Were you recently running your A/C? Chances are that's just condensation from the A/C system, which drips out through a rubber tube and is perfectly normal. No worries there.
For years, antifreeze was dyed a bright green to make it easy to identify. Today, other antifreeze formulations can be colored pink or orange, but it's still not hard to figure out -- antifreeze has a swe ...[more]

text: Stuckey said he didn't fear that his shoulder had been separated or dislocated when he initially suffered the injury. "I felt something pop," he said, "but I knew it wasn't that because it didn't feel awkward. ... I'll be all right." I'm not sure awkward is how I would explain it. It was the coach's decision, and it worked a few times. But, Denver did a good job of pushing the ball and getting shots before the defense could set up, and of forcing switches. Sometimes you just can't execute what the coach wants.

Green Bay Wins Doubleheader at Detroit
By: Jill Wunrow
DETROIT, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay softball (12-12, 2-3 HL) team won both games in its double header Horizon League battle against Detroit (7-26, 0-8 HL) Friday, April 6. The Phoenix outscored the Titans by a combined total, 14-4, snapping a three-game losing streak.
GAME 1 - GREEN BAY 11, DETROIT 2 - Sophomore Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) led off the second inning with a solo homerun to right center field, giving Green Bay the 1-0 advantage. The homer was Reinke's first of the season and second of her young career. Detroit tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the frame with an RBI double.
The Phoenix kept the bats rolling in the top of the third when Reinke added an RBI double to left field, giving Green Bay the 2-1 lead. Junior Jessica Hrncar (Bristol, Wis.) added a two-run RBI single, scoring Reinke and Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) for the 4-1 cushion.
Detroit cut Green Bay's lead in half (4-2) in the bottom of the third before the Phoenix added two more runs in the top of the fifth with an unearned run and sacrifice fly, boosting its lead to 6-2.
With one out in the top of the seventh inning, Green Bay scored five runs to seal the 11-2 win. Reinke hit a single to left field before Amanda Pozolinski (Appleton, Wis.) hit an RBI double to left center. Hrncar added a single while Cassie Scheel (Hartland, Wis.) and Hailey Mohrfeld (Menominee Falls, Wis.) both reached base on a fielder's choice. Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) contributed an RBI single to center field before Alli Rivera (Geneseo, Ill.) closed the scoring with a two-run RBI single. Green Bay scored five runs on five hits while stranding two runners on base in the final inning of play.
Reinke led the Phoenix going 3-for-3 from behind the plate, with two RBIs while scoring four runs while Pozolinski went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run. Sophomore pitcher Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) went the distance for the Phoenix from the mound, striking out two batters while allowing two runs.
GAME 2 - GREEN BAY 3, DETROIT 2 - The Titans got on the board first in the opening inning with an unearned run for the 1-0 lead.
With two outs and Pozolinski on second base, Paige Newtols (Green Bay, Wis.) hit an RBI double to knot the game 1-1 in the second inning of play. Green Bay later took the 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth with two outs when Newtols hit her first home run of the season.
The Phoenix boosted its lead to 3-1 with one out and one runner on base in the fifth inning when Reinke hit an RBI double to left field, scoring Shannon Butts.
Detroit came within one run in the bottom of the fifth following a Phoenix error before Green Bay's defense tagged a runner out at home plate. Green Bay's defense held in the final two innings as its offense scored three runs on nine hits in the game.
Nannemann finished her second consecutive complete game from the mound, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out two batters.
Green Bay will wrap up its three-game series against the Titans Saturday, April 7 at 11:00 a.m. at Buysse Ballpark in Detroit.

Green Bay Welcomes Milwaukee for Horizon League Tourney
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - One week has passed since the last meeting at the Resch Center, but so much has changed as Green Bay and Milwaukee will square off for the third time this season. With the stakes raised for the first round of the Horizon League Championship, Green Bay will try to improve to 3-0 on the season against its rivals from down I-43 on Tuesday night, hosting the Panthers at 7 p.m. at the Resch Center.
Last Tuesday, on Feb. 26, junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored a career-high 28 points as Green Bay defeated Milwaukee 78-61 at the Resch Center. While the Phoenix has since dropped its regular season finale to Valparaiso, the Panthers will be playing at the Resch Center for the second-straight game.
Brown and fellow All-Horizon Leaguer Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) both shined in the two wins over Milwaukee this season, with Brown averaging 25.5 points and eight rebounds per game and Sykes chipping in 17 points per contest.
TICKET INFORMATION: Tickets are just $11 for adults and $7 for youth and are available at all TicketStar locations, the Resch Center box office (open 11 AM-5 PM Monday and 11 AM-game time on Tuesday), by calling 800-895-0071 or online at ticketstaronline.com.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans unable to make it to the Resch Center on Tuesday night will be able to watch the game on the Horizon League Network or listen on WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM or thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Cordero Barkley. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Including the season sweep in 2012-13, Green Bay now leads the series against the Panthers, 28-21. The Phoenix has won 17 of the 24 games in Green Bay. In conference tournament action, Green Bay and Milwaukee last played on March 4, 2000, with the Panthers winning 62-58 in Chicago. The previous year, Green Bay won 72-66 on Feb. 27, 1999, in Chicago.
2. LAUDED ALL-LEAGUE: Keifer Sykes, Alec Brown and Jordan Fouse were all honored by the Horizon League on Monday with postseason accolades. Sykes, who ranks in the top-5 in the conference in points and assists, was named to the first team while Brown was a second-team selection after averaging 15.6 points in league play. Fouse, who led the conference in rebounding, was the runner-up for Newcomer of the Year and named to the All-Newcomer team.
3. DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE: Brown and Fouse both were named to the five-player All-Defensive Team after helping the Phoenix rank first in field goal percentage defense, rebounding and blocked shots in league play. Brown and Fouse are the first Phoenix players to be named all-defense since 2008-09 and the first Green Bay duo on the team since 1997-98. In addition, Fouse is the first freshman in the conference to be named to the All-Defensive Team since another Phoenix player, Terry Evans in 2005-06.
• THE SEASON SERIES: Green Bay posted 20 and 17-point wins over Milwaukee but both games were close in the second half. The Phoenix had a strong edge in field goal percentage, shooting 47.9 percent to just 37.6 percent for Milwaukee. Green Bay also had a plus-9.0 rebounding margin and made five more threes despite nine fewer attempts. Junior Alec Brown averaged 25.5 points per game, making 19-of-30 shots from the field, 5-of-7 threes and all eight of his free throws.
• HOME SWEET HOME: The Phoenix is 11-3 at the Resch Center in 2012-13, including 6-2 in Horizon League play. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, Green Bay has a 33-9 record in 42 home games. Sykes is averaging 16.6 points and five assists per game in 14 home games this season, going 83-of-104 from the line. Brown is chipping in 13.4 points per game and shooting 52 percent from long range. Led by Sykes, the Phoenix has made 123 more free throws at home than its opponents (258-135).
• COMEBACK TIME: Green Bay has shown the ability to come back and handle adversity throughout the season. Most recently, the Phoenix has overcome a second-half deficit in five of its past six victories. The team has won its last five games following a loss, and ended a season-long four-game losing streak by defeating Marquette 49-47 on Dec. 19.
• SECOND-HALF SYKES: Sykes, one of just two Horizon League players to be named Player of the Week at least three times this season, has excelled in the clutch. In the past five Horizon League games, he has scored 70 of his 95 points in the second half, averaging 14 second half points. For the season, Sykes averages 9.2 points per game after halftime.
• BROWN'S BLOCK PARTY: Brown blocked 42 shots in Horizon League play to become the fourth player in league history with more than 200 career rejections. The 7-foot-1 Brown is third in Horizon League history in blocks with 211, behind only YSU's Damian Eargle (293) and Dan Godfread (226) from Evansville. Brown's 55 blocks this season are the third-most all-time, behind only his totals as a sophomore (89) and a freshman (67). Brown is one of only three players in conference history with at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 200 career blocks.
• REJECTIONS REGISTERED: With Brown (55), Fouse (43), Mays (17) and Cougill (15) all in double figures in blocks, the Phoenix has now swatted 143 shots on the season to break the single-season school record. The past three seasons are the top-three single-season totals in program history, with 119 in 2010-11 and 142 the past two seasons. In league play, Green Bay blocked 90 shots, just four shy of the conference record of 94 set by the Phoenix last season.

The Cullen Trust for Health Care has committed a $2 million grant to the University of St. Thomas in Houston to establish the Cullen Trust for Health Care Nursing Endowed Chair.
The University of St. Thomas is planning to reopen its School of Nursing to address the growing shortage of nurses nationwide. Following approval by the UST Board of Directors and accreditation by the Texas Board of Nursing, the University expects to begin offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and enrolling the first class of nursing students in the fall of 2012.
"In awarding the Nursing Chair grant, the Cullen Trust for Health Care commends the University of St. Thomas for addressing the nursing shortage," said Cullen Trust for Health Care Board Chair Beth Robertson.
University of St. Thomas President Dr. Robert Ivany said this outstanding commitment by Cullen Trust will help the University attract first-class faculty members who will offer students a quality nursing degree program.
"Preparing students for nursing as a healing ministry complements UST's unique mission. As a faith-based institution, located only minutes from the Texas Medical Center and other hospitals and clinics, we can provide highly educated and inspired nurses who are in such great demand. This grant further strengthens our expanding relationship with the medical community," Ivany said.
After much study and the initial gift of $2.5 million from Carol and Odis Peavy, the University of St. Thomas began the process to reopen its School of Nursing.

I am new to this building v8 motors. I have experience in rebuilding top ends of 4cyl cavaliers and timing them. I'm currently building a 391001 GM block I believe its an early 70's block. it currently has stock heads on it now but ran across a set of 906 heads off a 98 Tahoe and the new intake to fit it to my block. my current heads of roller rocker tips, my question is what is needed to do the swap on my motor
Easy swap, get 2 head gaskets and intake gaskets for the Vortec heads.
When The Flag Drops.,. The Bull ***t Stops.,. P. Engineer, Engine Builder
I think the intake bolts might be a different size and you will have to use self aligning rocker arms. Don't forget they also use center bolt valve covers too.
I am going to be measuring the retainer to valve seal clearance on a set of these in 1 or 2 months on a build I am working on cuz I here they don't handle much lift. You have an aftermarket cam?

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 10101
As others have said, please number pages (makes it easier to refer to things when people write to you, among other things!), include contact info, and make it legible. Also, I really like to have the author's name (or pen name) clearly on the cover - it surprises me how many people don't do this. Date (or at least season & year) of 1st printing is good. And as mentioned above, DO NOT staple through the edge like you would a regular unfolded stack of paper. If you must, please tape over it with duct / electrical / bookbinding tape to prevent injury. But really, a long-arm stapler doesn't cost that much, especially if you plan to keep making zines - and you can always use the one at the copy shop if need be.
has legible font been mentioned?.....
I think you are asking more about layout and stuff, but as for content one thing i dislike is when folks include material they found on the internet or in an email, such as funny viral emails or something.
It seems cheap somehow!
I spent a bunch of time reading zines after the Portland Zine Symposium and even wrote some letters to find t hat there was not contact info anywhere and some people don't even put their name in them! How and I supposed to get my old school zinester mail on if I can't send a letter!
Also, I think it was a zine librarian lamenting the fact that zines don't put dates on them and it makes it impossible for archiving. i think since 2002 I have been putting the season and the year in my zines like "Summer 2008" because I never really feel like tying down to one dates, but it seems that putting a season ties it down well enough.

Holte: Vote Bruce Brown for district attorney
October 28, 2012
Some people do not think that a district attorney has much impact on them and so they vote party line. A DA can spend too much money on frivolous trials, have low conviction rates at those trials, file retaliatory charges against people or not file adequate charges based on the crime. A D.A. sends a message in their communities that says crime will be tried and punished here so don't commit any crimes. The message gets confused when it doesn't apply to certain classes of people, there is a significant acquittal rate at trial or a minor case snowballs into an expensive trial. Once a D.A.'s office establishes a practice it is not likely that they will stray far from it in the future. Before you vote, think long and hard about what you want the district attorney's offices message to be in your community. Vote for Bruce Brown for district attorney, let's send the right message.

Cloudy outlook for albedo?
Guest Commentary by George Tselioudis (NASA GISS)
In the past few years several attempts have been made to assess changes in the Earth's planetary albedo, and claims of global dimming and more recently brightening have been debated in journal articles and blogs alike. In a recent article entitled "Can the Earth's Albedo and Surface Temperatures Increase Together," that appeared in EOS, Enric Palle and co-authors use recently released cloud data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) to explain how it is possible for the Earth to be warming even as it's albedo is increasing. The need for an explanation arises from the author's claim that the earth's albedo has increased since the year 2000, an increase that was not followed by a decrease in surface temperature. They base this claim on Earthshine data (a measurement of the glow of the dark side of the moon that they use to deduce the earth's reflectance) and on an albedo proxy derived from ISCCP parameters after they are regressed with two years of overlapping, but not global, earthshine observations. Subsequently they claim that the rising reflectance of the Earth has not led to a reversal of global warming because the difference between low and middle-plus-high ISCCP clouds has increased in the last four years. This they say implies that as the low-level, cooling clouds have decreased during the most recent years, the high-level, warming clouds have increased even more negating any potential cloud-induced cooling.
There are several issues connected to the use of earthshine data to calculate the earth's albedo that have been discussed in peer-reviewed publications and that I will not discuss in this posting. I will say a few things, however, about the selective use of ISCCP data in this article to construct qualitative arguments that do not stand up to detailed quantitative analysis .
First, let's take the claim that the Earth's albedo has increased in the last four years. This is based primarily on the huge earthshine-derived albedo increase in 2003, which the authors now admit may be caused by undersampling of the data but was the the highlight of the authors' recent Science paper (Palle et al, 2004). The other three years have values close to zero (relative to the reference year) with two years having error bars extending into the negative territory. The earthshine-trained ISCCP reconstruction of the albedo is a purely statistical parameter that has little physical meaning as it does not account for the non-linear relations between cloud and surface properties and planetary albedo and does not include aerosol related albedo changes such as associated with Mt. Pinatubo, or human emissions of sulfates for instance. Even this albedo reconstruction, however, shows only a weak positive trend in the last four years.
The ISCCP group produces an independent estimate of the albedo, from performing a full radiative flux calculation that takes into account observations of all radiative forcings and produces top of the atmosphere, surface, and in-atmosphere fluxes (data, figure right). This has been shown to be in excellent quantitative agreement with satellite measurements at the top-of-atmosphere and with surface measurements. The year-to-year variations of these values show some qualitative agreement with the earthshine-trained ISCCP reconstruction but very large quantitative differences.

|Always keep an auxiliary line long enough to let you reach the bar (and find the way back to your boat.
How about stepping off onto the dock... shouldn't have a tether on doing that.... makes getting to the bar difficult.

Good going on your solo. It's the start of an entirely different level of sailing. I bought my a Pearson 26 in San Diego last year and one of my first year goals was to sail solo. You're absolutely right about in and out of the slip. The boats aft of me are very expensive and starbord of them is a sailing school I have to pass every time I come and go. Fortunately haven't given them anything to snicker about. Reverse is your friend! Very helpful for stopping forward momentum. Also using both the tiller and engine to stear is much tighter. The first few times I went out were dedicated to using only main or only jib. This helped in working out individual details without exponantilly (spelling?) complicating my head trip. I assume that once a tack is completed you prepare your lazy sheet well before the next tack.
When friends come out now they are welcome to do as much as they want but in the end it's like a ballet to me and I do my dance.

|oooops, almost forgot. Never, ever do anything on deck whatsoever without being connected to you boat with a line.
In my opinion you should not hesitate about some sort of autopilot/selfsteeringsystem, if you want to sail alone. Not only for handling the sails, but for also for being able to respond to different sort of calls of nature, whether it concerns output or input. You may need food or something warm to drink.
From time to time you will need both hands for the compass or charts or other functions concerning dead reckoning. Having an autopilot is almost better than a crew member (it does not crave sleep or beer).
With an autopilot you set the course directly in the winds eye and let the engine run at a speed to balance the wind and you have all the time in the world to handle your sails.

BTW, just be aware that the cockpit lazarette locker really needs to be dogged shut when you're sailing a J/24. The lazarette locker, if it isn't dogged shut, can downflood in a broach or when heeled excessively, and fill with enough water to sink a J/24. It is a fairly common cause of J/24's sinking.
As for the j/24 tipping and swamping. I do keep the lockers locked, and the hatches closed. And, you may find this humorous... but I've been saving and storing 2-liter bottles in all the unused space below deck. I also bought a great used air mattress to sleep on, rather than foam (a steal at 8 bucks). I don't have 33 cubic feet filled up (enough to counter the j/24 weight) with these free flotation devices yet, but I may get there

as for the tiller helper, That's pretty much what I was talking about, except that I'll just do it with what I have on hand. No need to spend cash if I can avoid it.

I'd go with modifying the main with a set of slugs sized to fit the track; and run the halyard back to the cockpit. You also should work out a reefing system you can use while single handing that doesn't require leaving the cockpit - and that means the halyard has to be back there. If the main is old try looking for a place local to you that sells used J/24 sails - maybe you'll get lucky and find one in good shape with slugs, trade in your old to reduce costs.
As to docking, trade up on the outboard and get one with a true reverse, or at least one that swivels around to make reverse. Then try backing in - you get more control that way because you would center the rudder and drive and turn the boat via the outboard alone. Most places that repair and sell used outboards allow trade in values; so that will help.
Don't give up on the jib - not using it will increase weather helm making everything else that much more difficult. I can't tell where you sail out of - but places like Bacon's here in Annapolis have excellent choices in used autopilots, sails and other equipment for reasonable prices.
As SD said, stay on the boat. At a mininum, wear a PFD or at least an inflatible. I don't want to read about you in some 'sailor lost while single handing thread'.
Believe it or not, I visualize leaving the slip under sail, but I'm nowhere near confident enough to try it yet. This motor does rotate for reverse, which has some fun side effects, like dragging the fuel line out behind the motor if you turn it the wrong way . As I get more comfy I think I can live with the rotation, just my first couple of times were hectic.
The main halyard does run to the cockpit, which right now makes the operation slower, because when the boltrope jams, I have to run up to the mast, unjam, run back to the clutch and haul some more. Well, when I say run, it's only a couple steps, but still I haven't called around about adding slugs or swapping sails, but probably will soon.
I'll keep using the jib, I just gave up for that day to let the steam vent and because messing around with it was taking concentration from everything else going on in the eyes of a first timer. I tend to focus on problems until they are solved, to the exclusion of other things... so I chose to forget that problem before missing something important going on that I should really focus on.
I'll admit I was not tied into the boat that day. Winds were pretty light and I didn't feel any concern. But, you guys are right, I should be tied in.
I too sail alone many times...
