Police in Jamaica have detained nearly two dozen people they allege are involved in a multimillion-dollar lottery scam.
Investigators arrested 22 people after raiding eight homes in the northwestern parish of St. James, which includes the resort city of Montego Bay. Many of Jamaica's proliferating lottery scams are based in St. James.
Police said in a statement Sunday that the suspects are being questioned and have not been charged. They also seized $800,000, several computers and 16 cars.
In recent years, Jamaican scam artists have made the island a center for lottery schemes. The fraudsters mostly cheat Americans out of millions by requesting they send money to claim winnings from a fake lottery.

Kansas Jayhawks' Andrew Wiggins to Declare for NBA Draft
It doesn't come as a surprise that Kansas Jayhawks forward Andrew Wiggins will announce his intent to enter the NBA Draft at a news conference on Monday afternoon. The only surprise at this point will be where he is taken in the draft.
At this moment, the Milwaukee Bucks have the best chance of getting the No. 1 selection in the 2014 NBA Draft. Considering the Bucks can use help at basically every position, they are expected to take the best player available. Whether that means taking Wiggins or forward Jabari Parker, assuming he declares, remains to be seen.
Wiggins isn't someone who will tear it up on the court and make jaws drop in his rookie season. What he will do is give Milwaukee the edge they need two to three years from now when the rest of the players on the roster find their groove. In fact, the time Wiggins comes into his own will be exactly on pace with the rest of the team, which could make for a very scary situation for the rest of the NBA.
Wiggins is unbelievably athletic and has the most potential of any player who will be eligible in the draft. He will be the perimeter threat Milwaukee needs, which will allow other players to work the inside. On top of that, he has the ability to put the ball down on the court and swiftly move past any defender in his way.
The freshman stated months ago that he never intended to stay in Kansas past this season. Even so, it will be hard for the Jayhawks to say goodbye knowing that they didn't accomplish their goal, which was to reach the Final Four.

Title: Yellowing of St. Augustine grass in south Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We live in deep south Texas, Roma, Texas to be precise and we have a problem with our San Augustine grass. In the spring its quite nice and green after a few weeks and one rain it is turning yellow.
ANSWER:Mr. Smarty Plants realizes that you live a ways from Austin, but he suggests that you read the City of Austin's Grow Green Earth-Wise Guide to Lawn Problems. It is an excellent source for detailed descriptions, diagnoses, and treatments of ailing lawn grasses like Stenotaphrum secundatum (St. Augustine grass). It discusses symptoms and treatment of fungal diseases such as brown patch or take-all patch as well as insect pests such as chinch bugs or grubs.

One of my favorite vehicle genres is the beefed up sports sedan. Cars such as the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 and E28 BMW M5 were some of the originators of the breed, but I think many of us can agree that BMW reached a watershed moment with the E39 M5. This car was many things to many people, but for me, it represented exactly what a man's car should be. A car with some size and heft to it, eight cylinders, six speeds and an aggressive stance with meaty rubber to lay all that horsepower down to the pavement. This M5 for sale in California looks great in Alpine White, an not often seen color for this brute. This one is a three owner car with a bit of tuning thrown in the mix. With 55k miles on the clock, it should have a few ///M car nuts salivating.

Motorsports Monday: 2002 BMW M3 NASA GTS4
If we kept tabs on which particular car makes an appearance in our Motorsports Monday segment the most, the BMW M3 would certainly rank right up at the top of that list. For thirty years, this car has been the darling of track days, from the original E30 variant up to the last of the two-door M3s built in 2013. We've seen a lot of variations on the racing theme, from rally cars to full on Le Mans tributes. This 2002 M3 is a recent build that has been tuned to spec for the German Touring Series of the National Auto Sport Association. In addition, it has the flexibility to tune it for several different classes of GTS.

It looks like a real beast, and with Dinan engine mods and a worked over suspension, it's almost like the M5 Touring that never was.

At the end of the Z3-based M Roadster's life, it was given a horsepower treat in the form of the S54 inline-6, finally bringing the performance potential of the E36-based US market cars up to level of their European market cousins. With 315 horsepower on tap, this was a serious little beast and a far cry from the Z3 we first saw in the mid-1990s with it's 1.9 liter inline-4. This 2002 M Roadster for sale in Florida has under 30,000 miles on the clock and sports a great look in silver with its contrasting red canvas top and black and red leather interior.

Coffee and New Friends, One 250cc Explosion at a Time
This is my first Ride Report on ADVrider. I don't do well writing this stuff but enjoy making videos of my travels. This post is just to introduce me and my bike. The links to the videos from the ride are at the end of this post......
After enjoying and living vicariously through great ride reports written by Skeird, Junyah, BigDog, and many others, I've decided to face the mob. I'm now at a time in my life where I can do what I want, go where I want, take as much time as I want, and go home when I'm want. I'm tired of the super highways and the rush to see as much as I can in the usual two weeks of vacation. I was ready to slow down. Riding slowly along the backroads of America is a great way to let my life continue. My new motto is, "I'd rather have more time than money"......I got my wish when I retired :)
A little criminal background check:
I'm a 62 year old guy, retired from Law Enforcement, not married, no children (I did get hammered in Singapore once so maybe), and began riding on a 250cc Suzuki Savage two stroke in 1967. Since the early 90's I've been mostly riding the big BMW GS's. My current GS is a 2011 R1200 standard model with 70k trouble free miles on it. I don't have a bunch of off road experience but a fair bit of roadracing miles (AMA and CCS lightweight Super Sport) in the late 80's and early 90's on a Yamaha FZR 400. I always wanted to race like Mike Hailwood, Kenny Roberts, and Mick Doohan but had to settle for being compared to Larry, Moe, or Curley.
The ride reports written by you all that travel on small displacement bikes have fascinated me for years. I love my GS but have become a bit weary of all the gadgets, weight, the multitude of electronics (I do have a SPOT and a Garmin Montana 600 though), and the cost of buying and maintaining a large "adventure" bike. The challenge of low horsepower, having to rethink what I NEED on the road, REALLY packing small, and outfitting a small bike so as to not overwhelm it was very interesting to say the least. I was also trying really hard after 45 years of riding to get out of the "gotta get there quick" mentality.
Last September I completed another enjoyable ride around the western states here in the U.S. on my GS. Shortly after getting back home, I started thinking about getting a small bike that I could set up for backroads touring with a bit of easy gravel thrown in. I began looking at bikes from all the major manufactures. I wanted a proven, reliable, little water cooled engine in a light frame, with proper suspension, and simple chain drive. I didn't have a bunch of money to spend on engine and suspension upgrades so that was a factor. The bike had to be fuel injected as that technology was very reliable these days and I would not have to worry about re-jetting at altitude. I poked around the dealerships for a few weeks…...
On December 9th, 2014, I cleaned up the GS, parked it in my shop, and bought a new 2015 WR250R. I had looked at small sportbikes, sport tourers, standards, and dual sports. I settled on the Yamaha as it met my requirements, had great reviews from you all, a comfortable riding position, and I wouldn't have too much plastic bodywork to worry about unlike the sport bikes and tourers….The few months before I left were really fun getting the bike set up. I call the bike a "Whizzer" in honor of one I had years ago. Those of you who are old farts like me will remember what a "Whizzer" is :)
I left the motor completely stock for reliability, fuel mileage, and quietness. I settled on a 14/48 final drive combo. (some say that gearing is still too high, but I can change it later unlike a shaft drive bike) The motor turned right at 6100 rpms (Trail Tech Tach) in 6th gear at an actual GPS verified speed of 55 mph (a good backroads speed for me) with a 120/80-18 Avon Distanzia rear tire. Fuel mileage on a level road with no wind was around 65 to 72 mpg. I was happy with that. If the wind blew me side to side I would just slow down (I had plenty of time).
I ran a set of Avon Distanzia tires in 90/90-21 and 120/80-18 sizes. They lasted the whole 6K miles. I will probably have the folks at Woody's Wheel Works super lace me a 19 inch front and a 17 inch rear so I can have a better selection of more road oriented tires in the future. I love the Michelin Pilot Road 4s on my GS. I rode it over Ophir Pass in Colorado with those tires and all was well….well as best as it could be with a 600 pound bike, 100 pounds of Starbuck's Coffee, and a 180 pound dummy on top of it :)
The left the suspension completely stock for this trip. I was on tarmac most of the time and on the dirt on the Mokee Dugway and Valley of the Gods road, I just rode accordingly. I weigh 180 pounds and my riding gear, racks, and bags weighed about 100. Rear sag was ok (after adjusting for the load) and there was plenty of suspension travel left for any easy off road riding. Later on I will probably get a 550 pound rated rear spring from Go Race for future travels.
For comfort I had Russell build me one of their "Sport" seats, lowered the foot pegs with larger Fastway EVO 3's, installed a Madstad windshield, and added Oxford heated grips. All was well. No wind blast, legs stretched out a bit, my hands are warm, and my ass felt like it is sitting on a pair of Angel's hands. A few days we rode for over 10 hours and I was never uncomfortable.
I'm too poor to buy cheap stuff that wears out in a few months. I am willing to pay more for some kit that will last for years. So....two years ago I invested in the Klim Badlands Pro jacket and pants. They work well for me and have no signs of wear. Sidi Adventure Gortex boots have served me well for three years and are still completely waterproof. The Arai XD-4 is my helmet of choice. Fits my oblong alien shaped head very well. A pair of lightweight Klim summer gloves, a pair of Held Gotex rain gloves, and a pair of Gerbing Core 5 heated gloves protected my hands. Three pairs of Smartwool socks, three Under Armor shirts, and three pairs of LD Comfort underwear complete my riding clothes. I'll talk about my other minimal clothing later on.
I have a 5 year unlimited mileage Yamaha Warranty on the whizzer. I ran it hours and hours each day on the road. All well within its rpm range and probably no more that 7.5K rpm most of the time. If the thing had blown up, I would have popped into a dealer (there are many, unlike another brand), had them order a motor, and camped in the back till it came in….or rented a U-Haul truck and gone home. Easy.
I know my bike looks clean. I wipe it down at the end of each days riding....just my ocd :)
In the past I have filmed my travels (https://www.youtube.com/user/tewster2/videos) with one Go Pro camera for video and only my iPhone 5 for narrations and stills. This trip was no different. I don't travel with a bunch of photo or computer stuff. I like to ride instead of fooling around with electronics to keep me in touch 24 hours a day with other human beings. I shut my phone off during the day except for the photos. I also didn't post much while I was on the ride. I wanted to enjoy the ride without having to spend hours editing and uploading each night at the campground as my beer got warm and the fire went out.
A friend and I began this ride on May 4th from my home in Western North Carolina. My buddy Anthony was riding a brand new, beautifully outfitted, 650 Wee Strom. We headed west towards Monument Valley. Along the way we found good coffee, small towns, forgotten byways, new friends, and conversation. We rode slowly traveling 250 to 450 miles a day and had no plans for the next 5 or 6 weeks. The weather dictated where we would go into Utah/Nevada/ Colorado/Wyoming. I had received emails and phone calls about my planned journey from many of you here on the forum. I finally got to meet a few of you. Thanks again!
In the end, you all can decide if I was stupid or a genuis to ride the WR out and back…we will see. It was an adventure after all.
Thanks for coming along. Here are the links to Episodes 1,2,and 3. I'll have more episodes later as I get them edited.
Episode Three (Mokee Dugway, Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley)
Episode One (Days 1,2,3 Asheville to Oklahoma)
Episode Two (Oklahoma to New Mexico)
Episode 4 (Glen Canyon, Vermillion Cliffs, Zion National Park)

Very good Tewster. The good thing is different detail than the videos. I've been subscribed to your uTube channel a few months now. I can hear your voice as I read the posts now....not saying that is good or bad thing
I've been waiting on you to make comments about traveling with a companion this trip. I have a feeling it made more difference in your feelings on the trip.
Not meaning good/bad, but just very different experience for ya.

Hello Tim, I'm in for this ride report. Feel like I know you as we have watched your trips on the GS for the last 2 years on youtube ( I've done Ophir pass on a WR250R, couldn't imagine doing it on a GS, alone) !! In fact, we just watched all 3 episodes of Coffee and Friends this morning prior to even knowing this ADV ride report existed. We take the same or similar ride each year at least once a year, sometimes twice. Just returned home on June 14 from a 4,867 mile run and left the bike in Casper WY. 855 miles on the Amtrak auto train plus 150 miles on a high-speed ferry across Lakel Michigan. Will return in about 3 weeks to ride it home via Sturgis, back to Florida. We eat at many of your recommended restaurants along the way, while avoiding the ones you indicate are less than par !! Most recent great experience was the Serious Texas BBQ in Durango, just last week!! Maybe see you on the road some day ! Ride safe.
Looking forward to more of your adventure !!
My Whizzer in Moab last year !! And yes, I had one as a kid also ....

Hey B.B., thanks for following my trips over the years. My videos are what I will look at to remember rides I did when I'm sitting on the porch of the nursing home letting my teeth fall into my lap when I can't ride anymore. You went to my favorite places in the west. Isn't America beautiful!
I'm in FL right now helping my mom with some doctor stuff. If you are near the Volusia County area we could get together for some grub next week before I head back to Heaven I call the mountains of North Carolina. Let me know, thanks for watching my stuff, take care.
And I agree, the BBQ in Durango is really good! Plus, give me a buzz sometime when you want to come to the mountains. I've always got the rocking chairs on the porch and beer in the fridge :)

A few thoughts from the ride:
22 days on the road. Was gonna be more but the weather did us in.
Tires are about 3/4 gone after almost 6k miles.
Averaged around 62 to 70 mpg.
93 or 87 octane gas did not seem to matter.
Spent on average around $73 per day for everything.
Most days were spent riding in or around miserable weather.
My butt never got sore (thanks Russell).
Not a single problem with the bike none nada nothing.
Mom and pop motels are the best.
Taos has the best porta-potties.
Marcia in Moab is a sweet lady.
Her dog is too.
The wind in Oklahoma is like trying to fly a paper airplane in a tornado.
I never had so much fun riding a motosickle in my life.
It's nice to have someone ride along with you sometimes.
The WR doesn't have a lot of horsepower but it has all I need.
Girls at gas stations like the little bike, so do their moms :)
The bike is so small there is not a lot to clean each night.
Most asked question...."You rode that from where?"
Then followed by me saying "I only ride it because girls like it".

Love my 2009 wr250r. Just passed 13k trouble free miles, all multi-week trips but limited to once a year. Can't wait for retirement and more time like yourself. I have a couple orange bikes in the garage as well, but always grab the WR for the multi-day rides because of the reliability, mpg and go anywhere spirit
looking forward to hearing more about your adventures and WR admiring soccer moms.

Tewster2's ride west-again
Hey Tim!
Another grand westward adventure, and I loved it again! It is great that you con5inue to enjoy retirement AND great health. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to Utah, as we discussed, due to some health issues! Hopefully this fall. Maybe I'll see you up at the Pisgah Inn again soon. My buddy is back in Brevard for the summer, but he'll return to St. George, Ut. Later for the winter. Maybe you can meet him. In any regards, I love your videos and travels, so keep Whizzing!

Cindy Ella is A+ ChickLit.
If you get a chance read it. I found it in the childrens section where my mom and I go to buy books and if you are 11 yo or over its a great book to read. I wont tell the story but its like a modern day Cinderella about a girl with real life issues. She has crushes on guys, one is an older hottie senior , one ends up being gay, and one is an online guy that she flirts with a lot. She has 2 mean sisters and a mom that lets her do anything when it comes to tv and the internet. She escapes the real world and ends up flirting a lot with the online guy, and there are a lot explicit romantic things she talks and thinks about but its real world stuff we all deal with. And best of all, you will love the ending. I cant say if she gets the HOTTIE!
Has anyone else read it?

Dawn nears Ceres – Approach images, movies and animations
March 3, 2015
NASA's Dawn mission will arrive at Ceres on March 6, 2015, and will be the first spacecraft to explore a dwarf planet. Ceres is the largest body in the main asteroid belt. At the time of its discovery in 1801 it was considered a planet and later demoted.

Dawn has arrived at Ceres
March 6, 2015
Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com – @BednarChuck
After a journey of more than 7 1/2 years, NASA's Dawn spacecraft was expected to enter orbit around Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, this morning.
In a statement, the US space agency announced that Dawn was approximately 38,000 miles (61,000 kilometers) from Ceres when it was captured by the dwarf planet's gravity at about 4:39 am PST (7:39 am EST) Friday morning. NASA personnel received a signal from the spacecraft confirming that it was healthy and operational at 5:36 am PST (8:36 a.m. EST).
"We feel exhilarated," said Chris Russell, principal investigator of the Dawn mission at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "We have much to do over the next year and a half, but we are now on station with ample reserves, and a robust plan to obtain our science objectives."
Reconnaissance of an entirely new world
According to BBC News, Dawn was expected to enter orbit around the planetoid at about 7:20 am EST on Friday, barring any unexpected issues. For the next 14 months, the probe will study Ceres, dwarf planet in the inner solar system and the first to be visited by a spacecraft.
Dawn's study of Ceres should provide new insight into the origins of the solar system, and since it has been travelling at a relatively slow speed, it was anticipated to have a smooth entry into the gravitational field of the dwarf planet. At closest approach, Dawn will be approximately 40,000 kilometers (under 25,000 miles) from Ceres, the British news outlet added.
"This is a first reconnaissance of an entirely new world," Marc Rayman, Dawn's chief engineer and mission director, told USA Today. UCLA's Christopher Russell, principal investigator of the mission, added that Ceres has been like a "secretive neighbor" and that everything that he and his colleagues have witnessed so far during the mission has been "unexpected."
Figuring out the bright spots
Among the surprises revealed by the planetoid thus far was a pair of bright spots discovered by Dawn during its approach. The spots, which thus far have been too small for an in-depth analysis yet remain brighter than anything else on Ceres, could be ice, salt or volcanic activity.
"As the spacecraft spirals into closer and closer orbits around the dwarf planet, researchers will be looking for signs that these strange features are changing," NASA said earlier this week in a statement. Such changes "would suggest current geological activity," the agency noted.
"Studying Ceres allows us to do historical research in space, opening a window into the earliest chapter in the history of our solar system," added Jim Green, director of the Planetary Science Division at the NASA headquarters in Washington. "Data returned from Dawn could contribute significant breakthroughs in our understanding of how the solar system formed."
The final countdown
Dawn began its final approach phase toward Ceres in December, and during its journey it has captured several optical navigation images and made two rotation characterizations, NASA said. This has made it possible for scientists to observe the object throughout the entire course of its nine-hour rotation, and it will continue to provide increasingly quality high-resolution photos of Ceres throughout the course of its mission, agency officials added.
"Scientists know that Ceres once had an icy ocean at its core and probably still does. But it's also possible that radioactivity inside the planet melted some of the ice, creating a lake or a sea. Dawn will look for a liquid ocean," USA Today said. If they find it, science team member Mark Sykes said, it could indicate that Ceres is or once was capable of supporting subsurface life.
Interrupted by Jupiter
Ceres, which was discovered by Sicilian astronomer Father Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801, is the second destination for Dawn, which had previously visited the giant asteroid Vesta in 2011 and 2012. While in orbit around Vesta, the spacecraft captured more than 30,000 images and several measurements of the object, revealing new information about its composition and geology.
With an average diameter of 590 miles (950 kilometers), Ceres is much larger than Vesta, which has an average diameter of just 326 miles (525 kilometers). Ceres, which contains approximately one-third of the entire asteroid belt's mass, was initially classified as a planet and later called an asteroid before being re-designated a dwarf planet along with Pluto and Eris in 2006.
Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, explained that both Ceres and Vesta "were on their way to becoming planets, but their development was interrupted by the gravity of Jupiter. These two bodies are like fossils from the dawn of the solar system, and they shed light on its origins."
"By studying Vesta and Ceres, we will gain a better understanding of the formation of our solar system, especially the terrestrial planets and most importantly the Earth," she added. "These bodies are samples of the building blocks that have formed Venus, Earth and Mars. Vesta-like bodies are believed to have contributed heavily to the core of our planet, and Ceres-like bodies may have provided our water."

NASA Probe Sees North Pole of Dwarf Planet Ceres (Video)
by Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
April 17, 2015 01:36pm ET
After spending several weeks in the shadow of Ceres, NASA's Dawn spacecraft is finally getting a close-up glimpse of the dwarf planet.
Ceres' cratered north pole blazes through the darkness in new images captured by Dawn on April 10. The photos are the highest-resolution views of the world that Dawn has gotten since entering Ceres' orbit on March 6, NASA officials said.
Dawn was about 21,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) from the dwarf planet when the pictures were taken, and mission team members promise even better views of Ceres in the months to come.
Full science observations begin April 23, when lighting conditions will be better for Dawn and the probe will be even closer to Ceres — just 8,400 miles (13,500 km) above the surface. Dawn will begin moving even lower down on May 9.
In future weeks, NASA hopes the mission will help scientists better understand a key mystery of Ceres: strange bright spots on its surface that, in some cases, have different temperatures than the terrain surrounding them. Mission scientists still don't know what the spots are made of.
The $466 million Dawn mission, which launched in September 2007, aims to better characterize the solar system's early days by studying Ceres and Vesta, two intact protoplanets that are the largest denizens of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The probe spent 14 months at the 330-mile-wide (530 km) Vesta in 2011 and 2012, then headed to Ceres.
Mission scientists said they expect that Ceres, which is about 590 miles (950 km) wide, will be wetter than Vesta, and made of different stuff. Some researchers think Ceres may even harbor liquid water beneath its surface, perhaps making the dwarf planet capable of hosting life as we know it.
Dawn will study Ceres for the next 14 months, mapping and measuring the cratered world from a series of successively closer-in orbits until June 2016, when the probe's fuel will run out and the mission will come to an end.

Ceres Gets Weirder With More Bright Spots and Unexplained 'Pyramid'
If you thought Ceres' spots were weird, wait until you see its mystifying 'pyramid.'
Indeed, Ceres has intrigued NASA scientists and worked fringe UFO bloggers into a frenzy since the Dawn spacecraft arrived for a close-up of the dwarf planet in March. Upon arrival, Dawn imaged a cluster of bright spots in a crater; now, a pyramid towering over a flat landscape serves as the latest addition to Ceres' scrapbook of oddities.
Scientists have plenty of questions about Ceres' features, but will we get answers? Maybe.
Space Oddity
Right now, Dawn is in its second orbiting phase roughly 2,700 miles above Ceres, which has given us a closer look at the now famous bright spots. We now know there are even more spots than we initially saw in early images.
Scientists believe a highly reflective substance — ice or salt are leading contenders — is responsible for the spots, but they are still considering other options (a thriving alien metropolis is probably not one of them). Thankfully, Dawn is equipped with an infrared mapping spectrometer that can identify minerals based on the way they reflect light. As scientists get more images and data from Dawn, they'll certainly learn more about the composition of those spots.
And That Pyramid
Dawn also photographed a pyramid-shaped landform in its latest crop of photographs. Based on visual evidence, the mountain rises roughly 3 miles into the sky, and it's smack-dab in the middle of a relatively flat area on Ceres' surface. This shouldn't come as too big of a surprise: Ceres bears all the telltale signs ancient, and perhaps present, geologic activity. Ceres has scars on its surface that hint at ancient lava flows, landslides and collapsed structures.
Ceres' story is only going to get more interesting. Dawn will continue to orbit 2,700 miles above the dwarf planet's surface until June 30. Then, it will edge even closer, entering orbit at an altitude of 900 miles sometime in August.
When that time comes, it's safe to say another strange chapter will be added to the book of Ceres.

From the Vipir 7 Storm Center
Weather Update - 5:30 p.m. Monday
Scattered showers and thunderstorms in West Tennessee continue to bring heavy rain to the region but not everyone got rained on in West Tennessee today. We'll have a more likely chance for rain in the region as we jump into July on Wednesday.
Tonight, showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible after sunset, but the coverage should diminish with the loss of daytime heating. Under partly cloudy skies, temperatures will drop to the upper 60s and the low 70s by sunrise on Tuesday. During the day tomorrow, we'll have a few showers and thunderstorms again but the activity should be scattered. Temperatures will soar back into the upper 80s and low 90s during the afternoon.
Wednesday and Thursday, an approaching cold front will bring more widespread rainfall and could even result in a strong to severe thunderstorm. Damaging winds and large hail will be possible in some of these storms but right now the risk for severe weather appears to be low.
On Saturday, the Fourth of July, West Tennessee currently has a 40% chance for rain in the forecast. It doesn't seem to be as much a question of whether or not it will rain in the region, but rather where it will rain.
Stay with the VIPIR 7 Storm Team for the latest on this forecast.
Have a great evening!

There is a current debate over the net fitness consequences of sexual selection. Do preferred males increase female fitness or are these males manipulating females for their own benefit? The evidence is mixed. Some studies find that mating with attractive males increases female fitness components, while others show that preferred males decrease measures of female fitness. In this study, we examined some of the fitness consequences of pre-copulatory sexual selection in Drosophila simulans. Virgin females were either paired with one male and given an opportunity for one copulation or were exposed simultaneously to two males. This allowed us to compare female preference (copulation latency) and fitness (longevity, lifetime productivity and rate of offspring production) both with and without the influence of male–male competition. When females had access to a single male, neither female longevity, productivity, nor short-term rate of productivity were associated with female preference, and although females mated more quickly with larger males, male size was also not associated with any female fitness measure. Inclusion of male–male competition showed that female longevity was negatively affected by preference, while productivity and rate of productivity was unaffected. This latter experiment also indicated that females preferred larger males, but again, male size was not associated with female fitness. These results indicate that females may not benefit from mating with preferred males, but they may incur survival costs.

Death and the Devil, By Frank Schätzing
A fresh whiff of Cologne
Tuesday 15 September 2009
Frank Schätzing was well-known in Germany for his historical novels before he achieved international recognition with his ecological thriller, The Swarm. Death and the Devil is a medieval mystery, set in 13th-century Cologne. In the shadow of the cathedral, still under construction, Jacob the Fox, a beggar conspicuous by his red hair, has the ill-luck to espy a murder – and the murderer spies him.
There follows a game of cat-and-mouse through the city, from its markets to its middens, as Jacob is pursued by an assassin armed with a strange crossbow. The chase creates a colourful picture of medieval city life, taking us into some dangerous places, including a leper colony.
As in all the best medieval romances, a beautiful young woman comes to Jacob's aid. But the unheroic Fox becomes involved in a vicious political imbroglio. The death he witnessed was that of the architect of the cathedral, and the incident merely one stage in a bitter conflict between church and state. The Archbishop of Cologne is locked in a power-struggle with rich patrician families, and neither side has scruples; they use any means to gain their ends.
The book, translated by Mike Mitchell, rises well above the level of most historical mysteries by its inclusion of the religious debates of the time. It is hard now for us to visualise the theological climate in which matters such as the nature of sin were discussed as keenly as football today, but this intellectual atmosphere is vividly brought to life.
In another respect, we might find identification easier: this is a society suffering from the effects of foreign conflict. Old Crusaders with post-traumatic stress disorders, the effects of horrible sights in foreign countries, are stalking the land. How might they be serving the lofty burghers of the city? The hunts around stinking alleys and rich mansions are well done, deeply enriched by historical research, and the setting a freshly enjoyable one for the UK reader – though there is an entertaining British connection at the end.

Citroen offers an SUV in NZ for the first time
Relevant offers
Lifestyle Vehicles
The new Citroen C4 Aircross, like the Peugeot, does not include a diesel variant, just a series of two and four-wheel-driven, 2.0-litre petrol offerings.
That the car is here at all is a nice surprise. Citroen didn't bother to import its other Mitsubishi-based soft-roader, the up to seven-seater C-crosser, which, like the Peugeot 4007 (which did reach these shores two years ago), was based on the Japanese company's Outlander model.
Citroen's importer, Ateco, will launch the light SUV in New Zealand in July, when it will become the final offering in Citroen's lineup of 4-series models, joining the Citroen C4, Citroen C4 Picasso and Citroen DS4 models.
"Although these four models sit in the same size category, they are four distinct models in their own right," Citroen New Zealand general manager Lawrie Malatios says.
"By providing them with their own platforms and differing drivetrains, Citroen has allowed them not to be variants of one model and to carry the restrictions in their abilities that this would cause, but to be much more capable vehicles designed to meet the specific needs in each of their own market sectors and offer Citroen customers a wider range of choice."
The basic C4 is a traditional five-door hatch, the seven-seat C4 Picasso on its own separate platform is a full seven-seater people mover, and the DS4 is a stylish prestige coupe/hatchback with a unique chassis.
It has to be said that Ateco could have done well to bring in the shorter-wheelbase, five-seater version of the C4 Picasso too - an immensely capable car without the prospect of having two empty seats most of the time.
As with the Peugeot 4008, the C4 Aircross is powered by Mitsubishi's 2.0-litre, 110-kilowatt engine, and will be available with a choice of two or four-wheel-drive and a CVT self-shifting gearbox, although, unlike the 4008, a manual option is being offered. That suggests the Citroen might even undercut the CVT-only Peugeot's $37,990 starting price.
Pricing has not yet been revealed.
The four-wheel-drive variant offers a choice of two-wheel-drive for economy, four-wheel-drive for difficult going, and 4WD Lock for semi-serious off-road conditions. These settings can be chosen by way of a twist selector on the car's centre console.
With the previous Outlander- based C-Crosser and 4007, the Citroen seemed to have been at the front of the queue when the front and styling were handed out, but in this case, the jury is out as to whether the Citroen or Peugeot is better looking.
The styling of the C4 AirCross certainly draws upon the brand's DNA, with the twin-chromed bars and the Citroen double chevron in the centre looking like a startled electrocardiograph.
Citroen says the car's sculpted horizontal lines and aerodynamic vents at the front are meant to accentuate the model's compact appearance, with the contours of the bonnet, the wide wheel arches and the reduced front and rear overhangs combining to enhance an impression of robustness.
A comprehensive equipment list and pricing will be announced at the car's launch next month. Fairfax NZ
