They brought the Pain. They scratched and clawed and fought like cats and dogs for position on the court. They ground bones to make their bread down low and still smiled for the cameras like real troopers. They had total game. They did what they had to do. The Stars showed up, then showed out.
So did the basketball players, for the most part.
Crikey! The Celebrity Hunter is hyperventilating!
The world's best ballers couldn't touch the Great White & Black Celebs for sheer preening power and pain threshold. Let's examine how things went at NBA All-Star Weekend.
Now, my own idea of The Sixth Element of Pain is being tied to a palm tree with nylon stockings while Nona Gaye slides up and down and around my body like a snake and I can't do anything about it but keep trembling. Saturday's NBA All-Star Weekend Slam-Dunk Contest might have been a stink bomb of "Gigli"-esque proportions, but I didn't see it because I followed Nona into the bowels of the Stapler as if on rails after her video duet of the anthem with her late father, Marvin. I don't remember walking.
But she motioned for Security, so I woke up.
This, from a guy who's usually pretty much immune to celebrity. But there's only so much any one central nervous system can take. Sunday's All-Star Game was the Glitterpimperati On Parade. Celeb Factor 9, Mr. Sulu. They were out in full force; and for the most part, "Strut" does not do them justice.
Best Actress had to go to Star Jones of "The View" and her ample, er, intellect. Star got herself proposed to just outside of the three-point arc in the second half by a money player named Whozat? She had my man on his knees and gave us hands to the face, tears, teeth, flapdoodle, whole niner. I'm not saying it was orchestrated, but they don't call her "One-Take Star" for nothing. Now Star can go out and bring home a skid full of Payless shoes ... Right.
If anybody could afford that rockzilla, it wasn't Whozitz. Star broke Ahmad Rashad's record for public proposals, his coming in an NFL pregame show. Ahmad is retired and was sitting on the opposite side of the court, chillin'. Tavis Smiley, who once said that Black America must (1) register to vote, and (2) find Star Jones a husband (preferably not him), can come out of hiding now.
Myself, I was sitting courtside in Brian Grazer's seat. But then he showed up unexpectedly. "Brian!" I said, shocked. Then I asked him if he would make my movie. He seemed disgusted even by the mere thought of it.
It was then I saw that "Hey Ya," the new national anthem for 2004, was no accident. After Andre of Outkast performed his hit for the East's player introductions, he walked all the way around the court to Grazer's seat and glad-handed. They bowed to each other like two sumo wrestlers. Out of all the celebrities, Andre went up to the right guy -- the one who can green-light a picture.
No need to guess what's up Andre's sleeve next, eh? For Best Performance in a Political Role, Andre beat out Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who photo-opped with Yao even though Ahn won't get many votes in Hunan province.
Curiously, Pat Riley seemed to be throwing gang signs.
P Diddy's bodyguard ruined my handshake moment with Denzel, who had on a Yankee lid. I was saying it was the right hat today, but then the muscle got agitated -- not because I was within 100 feet of Dids, but because a breeze from my jacket touched a woman Diddy escorted to the game. She frowned up. Like she hadn't ever been touched, and by a lot more than breezes. Security scowled and said, "Hey You!" By then, D was swallowed up by Star Jones.
Round and round, spin your head, place your bets: Joe Pesci or Andy Garcia, Cynthia Cooper or Elliott Gould, Damon Wayans or Nick Cannon, Paris Hilton or Nick the Attachment, Serena Williams or Lou Gossett, Cube or Russ or Dr. Phil, Chris Tucker eating chicken, Ashton Kutcher kissing rear, Vanessa Williams out walking Rick Fox, Snoop Dogg eyeballing Naomi Campbell. Went to an All-Star Game and the Grammys broke out, as well as the Golden Globes, barely covered by D cups. Bs need not apply.
As for the game and the hoopers ... well, I love seeing the guy who tops out just short of this level, who doesn't belong. Be it Usher, or Ron Artest. Poor Artest was trying to make like Jason Kidd; it wasn't happening. Pain. You can tell the guys who have reached their top level and it isn't this. They might score, but they're not quite White Heat -- not quite Top Of The World, Ma.
Artest was in over his head. So was Michael Redd, to some degree. Magliore didn't look artistic doing it; but without him, the East would not have been able to make it a game, not vs. the Playboy Giants of the Western World. Dirk and Peja looked out-of-sync, maybe because Janet Jackson was sitting shamelessly in their peripheal vision with Jermaine Dupri, who was making origami out of new $20 bills, saying the result reflected the Illuminati.
Do not tell me, ever again, that Peja is anywhere near the jaw-slacking, ball-cracking Larry Legend. You may never see the like of Bird Man again.
Due to the wild celebrity stalking, it was hard to keep your mind on the game, even while the world's best were just rolling along in hyperdrive, going up and down the court at the highest plane of human accomplishment in the world in that particular field. But there's always somebody who is in over his head, whose returns are diminishing, who's Peter-Principling it up. He looks no different than you or me struggling against some kid up at the Y.
God, it does me good to see that! Artest, not artiste.
Everybody else threw down, and even defended. It was close at the end. Then the cream rose. They all D'd up. Tim Duncan, who can get 14, 13 and five without you noticing, hit a turnaround, grabbed the biggest board, screwed up a lob that East go-to-guy T-Mac meant for Jermaine O'Neal. Shaq, KG, Yao and Dunc turned Jermaine O'Neal into Jermaine Dupri making origami.
J. O'Neal is super when he's got the edge on you, When he's in there with boys as big as him -- it ain't happening. Not yet, anyway. Don't know why. Nice enough kid, not stupid or anything. Kind of smart. But it would take both of his de-calved, pipe-cleaner legs to make one of Yao's massive pins.
Shaq turned out to be the Sammy Davis Jr. of the entire room. That Ruben Studdard hug after a coast-to-coast, rim-roasting dunk ... "I'm suing Ruben Studdard because when I ran into him, he grabbed my ass and wouldn't let it go," said Shaq, adding a droll postgame stand-up to his 24/11 MVP game. He even acted like he took his own picture; sheer athleticism on the ramble.
Kobe showed up late. He's trying to play cool, but he's conflicted, in pain. He did show up, on both ends. The court is his only refuge. He can't even go home in peace. We'll go more into the Seven Voyages of Kobe Bryant later. Suffice it to say for now that Jerry West was in the house, big-time, so West is where we'll start the 2004 NBA All-Star Uncensored Thought Balloons.

Making green, not being green
Published: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 9:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 9:45 a.m.
I share the view expressed in Mrs. Donnes' recent letter that Louisiana's critical ecosystem and oil and gas production can successfully coexist. However, contrary to what Mrs. Donnes suggests, improving the state's process for handling legacy lawsuits can preserve landowners' rights to seek cleanup remedies for their properties. The sad fact is that most of the personal injury lawyers involved with legacy lawsuits seem to be more interested in making green than being green. One of the most egregious examples of this is a legacy lawsuit filed in 2002, Corbello vs. Iowa Production, which led to a $33 million payout on property that still hasn't been cleaned up.
Indeed, the Corbello case was so egregious that it sparked a bipartisan effort to try and fix legacy lawsuit abuse through Act 312 of the Louisiana legislature in 2006. Unfortunately, this reform is not working as intended, and a small group of plaintiffs' attorneys are still abusing the system. According to the Department of Natural Resources' Office of Conservation, among the 250 legacy lawsuit cases, only two have made it through the entire Act 312 process. Most often when these cases drag on in our court for years, a few lawyers and their clients pocket millions of dollars while nothing gets done to address any actual environmental damages. There must be a better way.
People who honestly want to see real environmental issues be addressed effectively should be distressed to see our well-intentioned environmental laws being abused. "Green" should be a reference to responsible environmental stewardship — not disingenuous lawsuits designed to put "green" into the bank accounts of those who seem to be abusing our legal system for personal profit.
Louisiana needs a better system that will appropriately balance landowner rights with environmental issues and economic development concerns. Legacy lawsuit abuse is one of many issues of concern to the thousands of Louisiana citizens across the state who are supporters of Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch. Another issue of recent concern is the sneaky attempt by personal injury lawyers to extort a percentage of the payments intended for oil spill victims who opted to settle their cases out of court.

Analysis: URC's two-pronged strategy for NZ snacks firm Griffin's
Griffin's new owner believes it can cater for demand in south-east Asia for premium snacks
Universal Robina Corp. appears to have two main areas of focus for Griffin's Foods - launching the New Zealand snacks maker's products in south-east Asia and using the business's presence in Australia to enter that country's own-label business. Dean Best looks at the Philippines-based group's plans.Griffin's Foods is New Zealand's largest biscuit maker by sales but its prospective new owner has plans for the business that extend far beyond its home market.
Universal Robina Corp., which has struck a NZ$700m (US$592.2m) deal to buy Griffin's from private-equity firm Pacific Equity Partners, is one of the largest consumer goods companies in the Philippines and does business across south-east Asia.
The group, part of Philippines conglomerate JG Summit Holdings, announced its move for Griffin's two weeks ago. URC sells a range of sweet and salty snacks and the acquisition, expected to go through by the end of October, gives the company a Griffin's stable including its core biscuits lines, as well as crackers, snack nuts and muesli bars.
The NZ$700m price tag values Griffin's at 8.9x EBITDA, a tasty-looking multiple. URC says it has yet to "quantify the value accretion" from the acquisition - it insists it will report back to the market once it draws up business plans with Griffin's management, most of which is staying on with the company. However, when URC announced the deal, the company said it expected the transaction to be "value accretive" - and it outlined ways the acquisition will benefit the combined business.
URC believes Griffin's products will be able to capitalise on demand from south-east Asian consumers, who seeing their incomes rise, for "premium" products. Markets in the region are also seeing demand grow for "on-the-go" options, URC argues.
"The trend towards a shifting lifestyle across the ASEAN is evident and consumers are willing to trade up more for aspirational snack foods products," URC CEO Lance Gokongwei says. "We are also seeing the growth of convenience stores as on-the-go lifestyle-focused consumption and sourcing is now very evident. URC would like to tap into this shift into modern trade retail."
Griffin's brands, Gokongwei asserts, can benefit from URC's presence across the region. As a business, Griffin's exports to around 20 markets but the bulk of its sales are generated in New Zealand and, to a lesser extent, Australia. Griffin's generates sales of around NZ$280m and its growth rate has been steady at around 3-4% a year, Gokongwei says, save for 2013 when its turnover fell on the back of what the URC boss called a "price war" in New Zealand after rival Mondelez International competed heavily on price.
The faster-growing markets of south-east Asia could, in theory, boost Griffin's top-line growth. Speaking to just-food, Gokongwei says Griffin's wrapped bars will be the "main product" for ASEAN markets, alongside chocolate-enrobed biscuits and potato chips, particularly kettle chips. He cites Singapore (as well as non-ASEAN member Hong Kong) as "the main markets" URC will target the Griffin's portfolio, with other aims being "key accounts" in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and, perhaps on a longer time frame, China.
"They have a plan for China, which includes a potential joint venture with a significant distributor in China but we're not at this point able to disclose any details on this," Gokongwei says.
URC firmly believes in the potential for Griffin's in south-east Asia but admits it is difficult to quantify the opportunity for "premium" snacks in markets in the region. "For the Philippines, if you are look at premium chocolate, it's about 40% of the market. If you look at snacks, if you look at the presence of Lay's and Pringles here, it's about 7-8%. For biscuits, it doesn't exist, maybe it's 1%," Gokongwei says. "It depends on the product. We're very focused on the opportunity, which we think is wrapped bars, chocolate-enrobed products, particular biscuits, and it's potato chips. The bulk of imported snacks into the Philippines is potato chips."
Industry watchers believe URC can capitalise on the perception of brands from developed markets as premium products but contend health could in fact be an important lever for the group's new portfolio.
"Demand for snack foods in some of URC's markets is fast-forwarding to a stage where they should not only be tasty, filling and somewhat indulgent or entertaining, but also healthy - e.g. reducing sugars and saturated fats and additives - and reflective of consumers' lifestyle choices," Torsten Stocker, a partner in the Asian consumer goods practice at management consultants A.T. Kearney, tells just-food.
Jason Wong, a research analyst at Euromonitor, says Griffin's could have "a slight edge" in some categories in some markets in the region, where imported products have something of a cachet. "For example, in Vietnam consumers tend to perceive imported chocolate biscuits to be better tasting because local brands lack the manufacturing capabilities to produce high quality chocolate," Wong says.
However, the Euromonitor analyst has a note of caution for URC. Local biscuit markets are competitive, Wong says, while price is central to buying habits. Health, he suggests, could prove more fruitful.
"Griffin's Snax and MallowPuffs brands are likely to struggle penetrating the Philippines because there are similar low-priced local brands in the market such as Fita and Choco Mallows. In countries like Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, price plays a very important role in consumers purchasing habits. Griffin's is likely to have better opportunities with brands such as Digestives and Fruitli that are positioned as healthier biscuit alternatives," Wong says. "Competition in this segment is still fragmented and competition will be limited mainly to imported brands that target higher income households. If Griffin's is able to position their products cheaper than similar imported brands in the market, they are likely to able to capture middle-income households that demand healthier biscuit alternatives."
Away from the emerging markets of south-east Asia, URC is also hopeful its move for Griffin's will give it a means to become a low-cost, private-label supplier to retailers in Australia. Griffin's sells its brands across the Tasman but has also built an own-label business, supplying Woolworths Ltd, Coles and Aldi.
Compared to markets in Europe, Australia has been a more brand-centric food market but consumption of private-label lines has grown in recent years and is expected to continue.
Gokongwei insists the "more immediate opportunity" for the company is to take Griffin's products to south-east Asia.
However, he says URC is also eyeing taking its own products into Australia's own-label sector and believes its low-cost production base in Asia can position it as a supplier of entry-level private label.
Gokongwei tells just-food: "The main opportunity for URC products made out of the Philippines, Vietnam or Thailand is probably to take advantage of our relatively low manufacturing cost and price point and try to build some sales, particularly on the biscuit or wafers side. The average prices in most of the markets we compete in are about 35-40% of Australian or New Zealand products. That gives us a good opportunity to address the discount part of the retail-branded mix of these retailers, while still keeping a decent margin. We think there's enough room to introduce some of our products." Griffin's own-label business in Australia is of more "premium" own-label lines, he adds.
With private label taking a growing proportion of Australia's grocery spend, there is, on paper, an opportunity here for URC, although Gokongwei is at pains to underline the first focus will be on rolling out the Griffin's portfolio into south-east Asia. It will be interesting to see which strategy reaps the greater dividend.

The older we get the more important it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. This is necessary to maintain cardiovascular health and maintain muscle mass.
If you're over 40, you might want to take it easy at first, then do more repetitions as you become more proficient and build stamina.
Warning: It may be too strenuous for some.
Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

Darn, I thought this was a serious thread.
I wanted to listen to someone else who had started a work out routine. But it did give me a little laugh.
And by the way, my current resting heart rate is 48. Turn green with jealousy couch potatoes!

Mandela and forgiveness
Last week I wrote a column I hoped would pay appropriate tribute to a great man, Nelson Mandela. He is an inspiration to me. To all of us.
That was Part One. Part Two is today. And Part Two is … well, embarrassing.
I'd forgotten that inspiration is uplifting and joyous only sometimes. I'd forgotten that another pathway for inspiration is to be "found out," then convicted and humbled, obliged to feel deservedly foolish, and then and only then to be made ready for a new and better life.
See, the human ego is prone to inflation. Assuming some reasonable ability (and willingness!) to pay attention, everyone can, sooner or later, identify some way in which the ego-self is aggrandized. A carefully nurtured, cherished and protected image of self is lifted and advanced across the appropriate lines of humility.
Admiring human greatness is a "good news, bad news" proposition for me. On the one hand, I like noticing and shamelessly lauding what is beautiful, courageous and profound in the human spirit. I'm not threatened by greatness. I like the part of me that is so willing to shine the light on people who are such a bright light to a world regularly groping in darkness.
Mandela's fight for justice earned him 27 years in prison. Twenty-seven years! He broke rocks in a lime quarry, while the sun ravaged his eyes, permanently damaging his sight. And, when freed … he smiles and waves. He is grateful. Filled with resolve. He shrugs off the temptation to resentment and bitterness the way you'd wave off a single gnat buzzing your picnic.
Are you serious? You make me a political prisoner for 27 years and I'd be grouchy. Embittered. Changed in my very soul, and not for the better. Twenty-seven years? I see me losing hope within the first 36 months. Maybe I kill myself. Or maybe I just slowly turn out the light of my own will and die. "Failure to thrive," they call it in hospice. Maybe I just dry up and blow away like a pile of forgotten leaves.
In my fantasy, I come out of prison and spend the rest of my days rehearsing the list of all I have lost. I'm not vengeful, just empty and useless. Mandela comes out of prison and spends the rest of his days striving for all he can still learn, experience, achieve, and most of all give! He comes out of prison and says the rest of his life doesn't belong to him. His life belongs to his country, to his kinsman, to the cause of justice, truth and reconciliation.
Mandela's willingness to forgive and teach forgiveness is incomprehensible to me. It boggles the mind.
On the other hand …
I tend to romanticize what I admire. And then I long for what I romanticize. I sit, staring at a life like Mandela's, or any life called to lead a collective transformation, and I think "how cool is that!" And then I think, "I've never been an instrument of collective transformation."
And then I sigh, shrug my shoulders, and feel unimportant. Not particularly significant. And then it hits me. And I laugh a liberating laughter.
At myself.
What foolishness! I use my admiration of greatness to paralyze myself, then to justify inaction. If I can't change the world like Mandela, then what good am I? Unbelievable. I've caught myself using my ordinariness as an aggrandizement and an excuse. Because I'm so utterly ordinary, I have become uniquely irrelevant.
Like I said, it's embarrassing. But inspiration, nonetheless.
I think of the corny, oft-told story about the boy on the beach. The tide has stranded thousands of starfish, dying in the sun. One by one, the boy tosses them back into the life-giving sea. A passer-by says, "Do you really think that one little boy can make a difference in the suffering of all these starfish?" And the boy, pointing down to the starfish in his hand, says, "It makes a difference to this one," and hurls it into the sea.
I think of the story Jesus tells of the widow who gives two small coins to charity (Mark 12, Luke 21). He says the widow, so poor, who nonetheless gives freely and sacrificially, has given more than a rich person who donates from such excess.
If I admire and value what I say I admire and value, I'll get my sights off aggrandized targets. I'll reach for the starfish at my feet. I'll give what I have to give. I will leave the prison of cherished resentments.
I'll forgive the people who have hurt me.

|Ian Culhane
|Standard Route
Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2016
|Great climb as part of a 5 day thru-hike of the Enchantments. Took about 1.5 hours to reach the top from our camp at Tranquil Lake. Ice axes are mandatory this time of year, with microspikes/crampons being a useful addition (we made do without by kicking steps). The scramble from the ridge is way easier than we expected; definitely class 2, not class 3. Mediocre views due to cloud cover, but still worth the effort.

|Good day
Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2015
|Planned for Dragontail and Witches Tower but almost decided to stop after Witches Tower because of thick clouds. A small break in the clouds gave us some hope so we headed for Dragontail via the Little Annapurna snow col. Limited visibility there but good enough, made the top and got partial view, the weather was beautiful the rest of the day. Long and hard day but so worth it.

Funny you should mention Jeff. It had to be around the 2002 era, that I got to visit with Jeff and his wife in their home. As we chatted, I asked Jeff what he thought of the Glocks, he said, "A throw-away gun for throw-away cops." I pulled my cover garment over my G19 and went on to another subject.
What I heard was that Jeff finally acknowledged the Glock as viable weapon, but Jeff was pretty much a .45 ACP 1911 platform guy.

Randy Wolf finally gets his playoff win
Lefty also erased bad memory of awful NLDS start with a Game 4 NLCS gem
Updated: October 14, 2011, 7:26 AM ETBy Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
ST. LOUIS -- He was a human trivia question, and not real proud of it.
The question: Which active pitcher had made more career regular-season starts than anyone else in baseball without ever winning a postseason game?
The answer: Mr. Randall C. Wolf, ladies and gentlemen -- with 342 of them.
But you can now yank that card out of your Trivial Pursuit deck, because Randy Wolf is off the hook.
Cliff Lee couldn't beat the Cardinals in October. Roy Oswalt couldn't beat the Cardinals ...

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — About the only thing people in unincorporated Salt Lake County agree upon is that the status quo isn't working.
It's why there is a renewed effort to incorporate Millcreek Township into a city.
It's why an East Millcreek neighborhood that is contiguous to Holladay wants to annex to that city.
It's also why Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams has proposed a third option: legislation that would enable residents of the unincorporated county to select a new form of government, a municipal council. The proposal also envisions that the county mayor would be the area's executive officer while municipal services and administration would be provided by the county.
"What brings us to the point we are today is the age-old debate within the community that has pitted neighbor against neighbor and, I believe, has been detrimental to the progress of our unincorporated residents," McAdams said during a press conference Wednesday in the Salt Lake County Council Chambers.
The conversation has simply reached a stalemate, he said.
"It's no surprise to me there is a stalemate because what we are presenting our residents with are two imperfect solutions; we're forced to choose between having high-quality regional services and direct representation in directing what those services are," McAdams said.
"We're forcing our residents to choose between boundary protection and higher taxes. Those are tough choices for people who are weighing things they want on both sides of the debate. I believe it's time to present new options and new solutions."
The Community Preservation project envisions "better government but not more government," he said. The proposed legislation would create a vehicle to protect boundaries and encourage economic development in their communities in terms of jobs and tax revenue to support key services.
McAdams said residents could enjoy the benefits of direct representation and efficiently priced regional services. The proposed municipal area would encompass the east canyons, Millcreek, Granite, White City, Kearns, Magna and other communities now in the unincorporated county.
Under the plan, the County Council would remain intact as the countywide government oversees services such as public works, health and animal services. The Unified Police Department and the Unified Fire Authority would continue to provide public safety services.
"There will be peace in the valley," predicted Sen. Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City, sponsor of the yet unnumbered bill that aims to preserve communities, provide direct representation for residents of the unincorporated county and allow for the efficient delivery of municipal services from a common tax base. The bill has not yet been released to the public.
"We need to value townships. We need to give them a government of their own. We need to protect their boundaries. We can't continue to go on like this," Mayne said.
If the Utah Legislature passes the bill, voters in the unincorporated county could vote as soon as 2015 on the change of government, which would go into effect in 2016, McAdams said.
The bill's House sponsor, Rep. Eric Hutchings, R-Kearns, said the Salt Lake County Council is the municipal government for residents of unincorporated Salt Lake County, more than 135,000 people who live in more than a dozen townships and communities.
"When you live in the unincorporated parts of the county, you feel a little bit like you go home, you take all valuables out of your house, go out and lay them on the front lawn and just really, really hope that you have good, honest, friendly neighbors that aren't going to take everything from you. Sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn't," Hutchings said.

Organic compounds are compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen but also composed of oxygen, nitrogen and, to a lesser extent, phosphorus and sulfur. Historically these were compounds were only isolated from living or once living organisms. These compounds could not be synthesized in laboratories until Friedrich Wohler did so successfully in 1828.
Inorganic compounds were compounds composed of the rest of the elements. These were isolated from rocks and minerals. The difference in source of these compounds, lends to the naming of the compound and the relation to the word organic and living.

RED RIVER ARMY DEPOT, Texas -- Red River's vigilance to help injured employees has claimed another award for the depot as the recipient of the 2012 Theodore Roosevelt Workers' Compensation and Disability Management Award. The depot also previously won the award in 2007.
Recently, RRAD was also recognized by former Commanding General of the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, Maj. Gen. Kurt J. Stein, as having the best workers' compensation program within the TACOM community.
The Teddy award, as it is referred to, honors one company and one nonprofit organization for their efforts to reduce the number and cost of injuries to workers, according to the Risk and Insurance Awards website. The award was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt, who, in 1908, introduced and promoted the first piece of significant workers' compensation legislation in the United States.
Each quarter RRAD is provided a report from the Department of Labor listing the cost associated with each injured worker. Since 2006, the cost associated with the program has more than stabilized due to over 40 employees taken off the compensation rolls and placed in light duty work.
Since 2011, total costs for the depot's workers' compensation program has decreased by $300,000. The program has a net savings of $40 million since 2006.
In addition to the cost savings, the depot has also not been listed on the Department of Defense Top 40 List for Lost Time Injuries since 2007. Each year the DoD looks across all agencies and compiles a list of those with the highest lost time injury/work day rates. In 2006 Red River ranked number 29 on the list; however, RRAD challenged the workforce to aggressively accept new initiatives for safety. With the new "safety first" mindset for employees, Red River became the first depot within the Army Materiel Command to not appear on the list.
Red River will accept the Teddy Award at the annual Workers' Compensation and Disability Management Conference and Expo in November. The award has been given by Risk and Insurance for 17 years.
RRAD repairs/rebuilds a variety of mission essential combat and tactical vehicles and equipment including the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle as well as the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Orlando Brown, the first player in NFL history to be suspended for more than one game for contact with an official, remained hospitalized with an eye injury Thursday.
The huge offensive tackle of the Cleveland Browns could remain at Cleveland Clinic Hospital for the rest of this week, team spokesman Ken Mather said.
Brown was hit by a flag weighted with BBs and thrown by referee Jeff Triplette during Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Brown returned to the field and knocked down Triplette with a two-handed shove to the chest.
On Wednesday, the NFL indefinitely suspended Brown for the remainder of this season and possibly for part of next season.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue will meet with the 6-foot-7, 350-pound Brown in New York after the Pro Bowl in February. Additional penalties will be discussed at that hearing.
Brown, who has apologized for shoving the game official, said he became emotional because his father, Claude, lost his sight to glaucoma in 1993. Brown has been in the hospital since Sunday night with impaired vision and bleeding in a chamber of his right eye.
The injury would have kept Brown out of Cleveland's season finale against Indianapolis on Sunday. The Browns have a bye week on the final weekend of the season.
Still, that weekend counts toward the suspension and Brown will not get a paycheck, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Brown signed a six-year, $27 million contract with Cleveland in February. Based on his 1999 salary, Brown will lose $49,411 the remainder of this season.
If the suspension continues into next season, Brown would lose $131,250 per game, based on his $2.1 million salary in 2000.
Brown's agent, Tom Condon, was not available for comment Thursday.
Condon has not said whether the NFL's discipline will be appealed or whether Brown would file a lawsuit.
Brown appeared Tuesday during a news conference at the hospital. Wearing a metal patch over his eye, Brown apologized. He had planned to read a handwritten statement, but said he couldn't see it and handed it to his wife.

If Never Say Never is an accurate thermometer, then Bieber Fever - the pubescent-female passion for popster Justin Bieber - is North America's happiest epidemic.
From Bieber's modest beginnings in Stratford, Ontario, almost 17 years ago to his Madison Square Garden concert last August that sold out in 22 minutes, Never Say Never is one part backstage biography, one part concert film charting the roots and meteoric rise of Justin II, successor to that supernova surnamed Timberlake.

5 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
we used these shirts for our son's soccer team. we were happy to be able to find enough for the entire team. the sizes were accurate for "average" body types but because my son is 8 years old/slim/tall and we got him a 10/12 to have some extra room. the only bad thing was that the store didn't have enough shirts on hand so we had to order online. we had to pay an extra dollar per shirt for shipping.
i got my son a 4-5 shirt. he's 2. its kinda big for him but thats his style. he LOVES loves loves this shirt. he even sleeps in it.
I bought this for my 3 yr old who loves Angry Birds...he loved the shirt! It fits him now a little too big because its a shirt for next yrs wardrobe. But judging it accordingly to its sz & comparing it to other same sz shirts it look to be a true fit sz shirt. Overall I love the design, not expensive, my son loves it so its a thumbs up!
This was delivered to my house defective. It had some sort of glue dried all over the collar. I tried to just scrape it off bc I had bought it for a gift and didnt really have time to wait for a new one. It didnt come off. So I guess i bought it for nothing and now I have to go through the added hassle of returning it :(
10 year old son loves Angry Birds and saw this shirt and wanted it sooooo badly. He loves it!

TV personality and Michelin star chef
Glynn Purnell often called the 'Yummy Brummie' started cooking professionally at the age of 14
After securing a work experience placement in a hotel kitchen, he spent the next two years catching the No 966 bus to the Metropole Hotel at the NEC where he was quickly promoted to making salads and flipping burgers. A six year stint followed, gaining experience in every department from banqueting to the a la carte Terrace Restaurant, where he discovered his talent and passion for fine dining. He began winning awards including the prestigious Salon Culinaire.
His next professional step was as Chef de Partie at Simpson's Restaurant in Kenilworth where he progressed to the position of Sous Chef. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star and Glynn went on to win a number of accolades within the industry.
After training with top chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Gary Rhodes and Claude Bosi, Glynn travelled abroad to work with well-known Michelin starred chefs in Europe. He went on to help launch Jessica's in July 2003, which was awarded Birmingham's first Michelin star back in 2005. Glynn is now the proud owner of three establishments in Birmingham, Purnell's, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2007, Ginger's Bar and Purnell's Bistro, formerly The Asquith.
He has successfully made the transition to television and has taken part in the Great British Menu, winning twice and then appearing as a mentor. He has previously featured on The Great British Food Revival and can be seen in the new series in the autumn. He appears at the BBC Good Food Show and is a regular guest chef on Saturday Kitchen with James Martin.
Purnell's Restaurant recently received the BMW Square Meal Best UK Restaurant award. This is the 12th year the BMW Square Meal UK award has been awarded, with past winners including The Fat Duck and Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons.

Shorts are clearly trapped. Over five million shares short are reported by NASDAQ . . . shares are still hovering around $6, . . . and huge good news is expected within just a few weeks or less that will drive price into the teens.
It's almost certain that the shorts will launch a very negative article about AMPE very soon so they can buy shares back without losing too much more. A $10 spike that could happen very easily would cost them over $50 million in additional losses so a well placed article is the last chance they have to cover.
Be ready to buy big amounts as soon as the article hits because it wil cause shares to fly like no tomorrow.
Get ready for very big and very good news very soon. The company said results will be announced in the third quarter and there are only five weeks left to go. The clock is ticking dangerously close for the shorts so be watching for their last chance dying breath of a negative article.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
5 weeks to go? what - the 3rd qtr ends in August now? : )
Yup, my thoughts too. The closer we get to the news, the more active the shorts will be. Watch out for all the negative posts by crafty shorts like imprvngmyavg, they appear friendly but they pack a punch. The bashers have become quite sophisticated.
LOL, "Crafty" you give me too much credit. Hard to be anything when the audience isn't listening or willing to reconsider their own infallibility. and for the umptiunth time. I AM NOT SHORT THIS STOCK and I thought you said you were paying attention. ;-))
...the bigger question is what happened last Tuesday when the stock dropped 13% on big volume. Either way, I expect Ampion data in the first half of August, so we're almost at THE inflection point for AMPE.
Agree..., except there are NINE weeks left go in the quarter.
nine weeks goes by quickly when you consider how huge the move will likely be. It's too risky to be out of AMPE because the news may come any day when we are not expecting it and once it comes, it is too late. Shares will jump to the teens instantly and move higher from there.

A Treatise of Civil Power
Geoffrey Hill
Yale University Press, $16, 64 pp.
Geoffrey Hill's new book takes its title from Milton's Treatise of Civil Power in Ecclesiastical Causes (1659), but it might just as well be called Recent Poems. Milton is a presence in the book, but only one of many: the summoned ghosts include Wyatt, Bacon, Surrey, Oliver Cromwell, Milton, Holbein, Handel, Edmund Burke, Blake, Brahms, Hopkins, John Cornford, Elias Canetti, Olivier Messiaen, Gabriel Marcel, and Gillian Rose. Hill assembles large companies these days.
Most of the poems are short, and generally lyrical or meditative. Hill recalls with affection and sorrow the English landscapes that have meant much to him, the villages in Worcestershire where he was born: they are different now, sadder places, apparently. His themes are those the readers of his earlier books are familiar with: poetry as a means of survival and in that sense a mode of moral life, the wrenching of truth and meter, language as enemy country, the quest for political justice, the babble of fame, "the things of earth snagging the things of grace," as he wrote in Canaan (1997).
In "History as Poetry" (from King Log, 1968), Hill refers to "the tongue's atrocities," a phrase that must appear lurid unless we assume that language is corrupted, like the other constituents of human life, by original sin.

great job!
Lol...I am stuck...maybe I should send you the parts to continue the project.
yup..pre balanced
Sure do..I rebuilt an old TJT eagle with it..used the wheel and NGV..they are awesome.
Do yourself a favor go with these. http://www.jetmax.ch/en/turbine_wheels.htm
I love it
Nice..didn't know that about those early models..very interesting..thanks Basimpsn and rjpmodel
Also double check your rpm reading on startup..if it does not look quite right then the trick for that is to take a magnet and bring it in close proximity to the rpm sensor....to "defrag" the sensor...
Most likely its not your ECU...try this before you spend money you don't need to...first connect your glow plug back to your ECU then take a pencil torch/ butane torch and introduce that high...
If you examine the link above you will find the same part numbers for...
Just got the harborfrieght 7x10 mini lathe ..its good...look in the AMA magazine there is a discount on it in there..got it $100 off.
before you send it all back try this....take a magnet..like that from a screw pick-up...wave the magnet over the sensor a few times then see if it gets better....the Ram turbines would sometimes do...
Diesel works just fine...what you will notice the first time you do it is that you will get the same rpm at a slightly lower pump voltage..but I use it in a similar engine with 2 cycle synthetic...
This is a video I shot a while back..its a TJT eagle...same set up as yours... there is a part 2 also.
or you could just buy a speed 300 electric motor from the car section of your local hobby shop and change the motor...or at minimum change the brushes if the problem is indeeed the pump..motor is...
if there is an inline filter check it first...sounds like a restriction some wherebetween pump and engine...if not there check the pump.
way to go Drywaller, get it done. Its as easy as pie to do the replacement
Let em know Baz, speed 300 is like $11 and switch to old bendix...problem solved.
part 1 and 2 of a TJT 3000 (in the video it had a ram casing)
niiiice video mi amigo eres buen veulo [8D]
beautiful bird my friend....keep flying her and always use your flaps...i started with the super and then moved to the C model...i love hornets..honest airplanes
gotta disagree baz...superhornets are great trainers..lol
only one wave washer should be there..to resist the washer you must push from the turbine side towards the compressor and the play is minimal...as said before the shims may not be necessary and are...

I'm looking to import support for
org.slf4j and
org.quartz in a maven project in Netbeans. However, I'm not able to figure out the exact steps. I'm unclear as to how should I configure these two packages (through their jar files) as artifacts.
My present Netbeans structure looks like this :

Paul Conroy explaining why Syria is not only a dangerous place for journalists #BelFest

War photographers must be wired differently to the rest of us. They feel fear, yet they seem to suppress the instinct to do anything about it.
