That Gale kid actually, facially, resembles Tyson Fury. Obviously about 20 stone lighter though!
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Dave Twamley has left the competition!? with those skills!? WHY??!?!
Just watched Cooper vs Gale...who the fuck has organised this shit?!
Rich Walker's gonna cripplify the poor bastard
In all honesty what are you guys on? Where does Richard walker go if he loses? The fellas record is 0-6 it's hardly Anderson silva vs Craig Allen.
Yes I think it's all wrong that this fight has even been contemplated, and fair play to Sam gale although I don't be is clever enough to know the guys are just taking the massive piss out of him.
Personally I would like to see Richard walker win by some lame submission then get paired with some massive heavyweight, can't imagine he'd be so willing then.
Lol and Richard walker sparring and trying to catch the leg kick, hopefully gale looks low and takes his head off with a head kick.
War gale FORCE
I still can not believe this show is for real.
the bullshit stops when the cage door locks!!! @prosystemsmma @Ryanwhitemma
The next "fight" in the competition happened this weekend.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Honestly hope Gail finds a gym sticks it out and gets involved best of luck to the lad.

Joe Nathan's Facebook page he will be pitching off the mound starting next month. Bill Smith also says that Nathan is also on track to be ready for Spring Training.
In other Twins closer news Bill Smith said that it is a no-brainer that the Twins will tender Matt Capps a contract.(For some reason the link hasn't been working for some people but if you copy and paste the following address it should bring you to the article: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2010/11/matt_capps_staying_in_minnesot.html)
Even with the good news about Nathan it is nice to know that the Twins will have a back-up option if he isn't ready at the beginning of the 2011 season. Capps could fill-in as the closer until Nathan is back to form.

Twins general manager Bill Smith said it's "not at all" a question whether Matt Capps will be tendered a contract this winter.
That can be read in two ways as is typical for Bill Smith. Maybe that's why you didn't use quotes and your link goes to nowhere. He may very well mean that it would be stupid to give him one....

SEASIDE PARK, NJ -- A massive six-alarm fire broke out today on the boardwalk at Seaside Park at approximately 2:30 p.m. The blaze, which is believed to have started at Kohr's Frozen Custard Shop at 301 Boardwalk, quickly spread and engulfed several buildings in the vicinity, including the FunTown Pier.
According to local news reports, construction crews have been called to the scene of the fire, which neighbors Seaside Heights, to remove sections of the newly installed boardwalk to create a "fire break." Several firefighters and residents were being treated for smoke inhalation.
"Pictures and video of the fire are startling and sad given what Seaside Park and neighboring Seaside Heights have endured with Superstorm Sandy," said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the governor's office.
Seaside Park mayor Robert Matthies added, "This is another tremendous wrench in the recovery."

Post subject: hijacked treasures
a moderator has since deleted the previous forum dedicated to said travel bug, but allow me to make a statement or two related to it. if you have no idea what i'm talking about, or don't care, then by all means, please stop reading.
the bug is once again ready to be placed. it wasn't cache ready, for a while, through no fault of my own. while the king and i have a standing dispute over a previous bug, i had 'trinkets and treasures' in my possession for less than two weeks when it became 'hijacked hardware.'
i had done nothing with the bug in the time i had it, and had not told the king the bug would not resurface, when it was suddenly renamed for reasons unbeknownst to me. i can tell you i was in no hurry whatsoever to place the bug elsewhere, but again, i had it in my possession for less than two weeks when it was renamed.
while that didn't prevent me from placing the bug in another cache, i certainly opted not to at that point. i'm just that petty. why would i? i don't care if the king and i have a standing grudge over a previous travel bug or not, i'm not going to do any favors for anyone who shows disrespect. when the king 'grabbed' it, even though i had it in my possession, i grabbed it back, and starting putting it in a graveyard, where i felt it belonged. if you had seen the bug page before the king cleaned it up, you saw me state that more than once.
i'm sure you're all much more honorable than i am and would have dumped the bug in a nearby cache as quickly as possible. (sarcasm mode on) but god knows i'm the only one who causes any troube. (sarcasm mode off)
so, when i insist the bug i had, which no longer existed, technically, belongs in a graveyard, and would continue to be placed there, a post went up at this forum, suggesting i had decided that nobody should have the bug, so here is it's tracking number for anyone to post a grab/find.
i continued to point out that trinkets and treasures no longer existed.
before i finish, let me address a couple of points.
rickrich noted on the bug page that the bug shouldn't be held hostage in a war, and that he regretted finding the bug and moving it. (that find has since been deleted.) sure, i grabbed the bug knowing it would irritate the king. i also knew that my action would probably pay me back with 10 times the entertainment. i enjoyed watching the king grab the bug and remove it from the graveyards. i've got a sadistic sense of humor that way. but to make it clear, rickrich, the bug was not being held with the intention of it being a hostage. as i've made it quite clear, the bug was altered by the king, in a way that wasn't polite. i didn't ask the king to change its name and grab it, even though he didn't have it. nor did i ever tell him it wasn't going to circulate. i may well have held onto it indefinitely, but that wasn't an option i was given, as the bug i had found quickly disappeared, as far as i was concerned. you can call it a hostage if you like, but that's not what it was.
now i'll forget who made the other comment on the bug page, (also deleted,) but it questioned why somebody would grab a bug and hold onto it. it's clear now i had it less than two weeks when it was changed. at that point i felt i was within my right to not place it anywhere. disagree with me? fine. but just as the king has the right to rename his bug, i have a right to hold onto it until i see fit to place it elsewhere. more important, i hadn't taken the bug with me on my trip to michigan, and i haven't spent time geocaching since that trip. so i hadn't even had a chance to place it elsewhere. and i'm far from the first person to grab a bug and take more than two weeks to drop it.
so, when i posted on this forum my question asking when i could drop off trinkets and treasures, the king indicted a willingness to allow that to happen. and he backed it up with his actions. he restored the bug page to something resembling what it was, and cleaned up the page to erase all our grabs and drops. (which, when i look back at it, is quite funny, in all its stupidity.)
i will circulate the bug in the near future because the king showed good faith. i'm not interested in pointing a finger and saying 'shame on you, it's all your fault.' but i want to make it clear that like me or not -- and that's far from my concern -- i gave no reason for the king to rename the bug hijacked hardware, and my 'decision' not to let anybody else have the bug by placing it in a graveyard was solely because of his action.
as i noted on the bug page, for at least a moment, the king and i have reached a peace accord, if but on this one item. once he acknowledges this message, his bug will be good to go. i have 2 or 3 ideas in mind on where i will drop it off.
if you cared enough to read this post, thanks for your interest and allowing me to speak my mind as this bug prepares to rejoin the cache world.

I'm working on a new cache for these situations, The Minnesota FlameFest.
Have a beef with another cacher? You go to the FlameFest cache and log your beef. Then you can post a note stating that XXX has been flamed. But you can't disclose the contents of the flame in your note. XXX, or any other interested parties, must visit the cache in order to discover the details of the flame.
I will make the walk to this cache suitably long, to encourage thoughtful reflection.
I expect to visit this cache a few times myself.
To get credit for this cache, the parties involved in the flamefest must all agree that the dispute has been resolved. This cache may be logged up to 4 times per year.

Claes Oldenburg, The Street and The Store + Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing
Now 84, Pop artist Claes Oldenburg is best known for his drooping, soft sculptures of telephones, toilets and other household fixtures, and for the cheerfully absurdist, gargantuan versions of small objects—lipsticks, clothespins and the like—made in collaboration with his late wife, Coosje van Bruggen, for various outdoor locations around the world. As for where these works came from conceptually, the answer may lie in MoMA's lively presentation of Oldenburg's early projects.
Together, The Street and The Store represent the artist's first forays into full-scale installation, in the early 1960s. Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing, installed in the museum's atrium, was created over a 12-year period, between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s, and comprises a collection of altered and unaltered readymades, cast-off objects and artworks housed in side-by-side enclosed structures designed by the artist. Both seem particularly relevant today for the way in which they presciently deconstructed and undermined the workings of consumer society and the art world alike, even as they openly reveled in the culture of spectacle.
Born in Sweden in 1929 and raised in Chicago, Oldenburg arrived in New York's East Village in 1956, where he encountered the immigrant neighborhood's bustling streets, plus a group of rising young artists determined to challenge the dominant New York School. Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, for instance, incorporated real-world objects into their works. Allan Kaprow, meanwhile, had published an essay in 1958 titled "The Legacy of Jackson Pollock," in which he called for a new art that would incorporate all of life.
In January 1960, Oldenburg channeled these influences into The Street, a jittery immersive environment that filled the basement gallery of Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square. The current iteration at MoMA presents surviving sculptural relics from the original installation as discrete artworks, teaming them with pieces made during the same period. A contemporaneous film playing overhead shows Judson's tiny space crammed with crude wood and cardboard cutouts of giant male and female figures, cars, airplanes, dogs and street signs, around and through which Oldenburg and his then-wife, Patty Mucha, performed in costume. (Other performers during the show's run included Robert Whitman, Al Hansen and Dick Higgins). The work is witty, but ferocious: The outlines of the figures are edged in black as if they had passed through fire; a streetwalker's face looks like a skull, and crude graffiti covers the walls. This section of the show also boasts the gigantic, bulbous, papier-mâché Ray Gun, from 1959, the first appearance of an object that also operated as a character, an idea, a corporate entity, an alter ego and most importantly, according to Oldenburg, as a metaphor for "vision, the power of seeing through walls, i.e., the artist's supposed capacity to discover reality." It would become a recurring theme in his art.
The following year, Oldenburg, under the umbrella of the Ray Gun Manufacturing Company, embarked on a second major project, The Store, filling a rented storefront with colorful, enamel-painted plaster reliefs and free-standing plaster sculptures of everyday items such as clothing, food and toys. Ensconced in glass cases suspended from the ceiling, and hung salon-style on the walls, these lumpy, expressionistic works—all of them for sale—were extraordinarily far-seeing in the way they erased the differences between consumer goods and their perfected images in advertising, not to mention the line separating art from any other commodity. A mountainous silver cash register squatting on a pedestal at the center of the show seems pulled from the real world, but a wall relief depicting a pair of red tights and, next to them, a yellow number nine is clearly taken from a print ad. Equally contemporary is the way in which these essentially interchangeable objects and images culled from consumer culture allow for new connections to be made among them, replacing advertising's subliminal seductions with more personal associations.
Oldenburg's interest in an object's value as a commodity reached its apotheosis in Mouse Museum and its Ray Gun Wing, completed in 1977 as two covered, walk-in galleries—one in the shape of a Mickey Mouse head, the other in the shape of a gun. In Mouse Museum, an assortment of odd items, ranging from dolls to dildos and from fake food to a giant toothbrush, offer themselves up, in a relationship with viewers that is more uncertain than the usual institutional display. At the same time, Ray Gun Wing's array of objects mimicking the right-angled configuration of a gun—a bent straw, for example, or bit of wood—celebrates the artist's ray gun vision not only as a particular form, but as a hope for individual expression set against the pervasive presence of capitalism.—Anne Doran

NEW YORK — The Jones Group Inc. plans to close 170 under-performing stores in the U.S. by mid-2014 as part of its efforts to shore up profitability.
The stores identified for closure include 50 units previously announced in the fourth quarter.
Jones, which owns the Nine West, Jones New York and Anne Klein banners among others, will emerge from the restructuring with a higher percentage of outlet stores in its portfolio, and some units will be converted to more viable sister banners.
"We remain focused on our mission to create the leading global fashion company defined by premier brands," said CEO Wesley Card.
Other cost-saving initiatives announced by Card include consolidating DCs and cutting staff. About 18% of the company's retail employees in the U.S. will be terminated, and another 2% of corporate, support and supply chain staff will be cut. Retail staff reductions are already underway and, said the company, will continue through the first half of 2014.
The aggressive cuts come as Jones has struggled to ride out the economy. The company said Monday that it projects first-quarter earnings to be half what they were in the same period last year.

PartnerRe Ltd's forward P/E ratio for today is 14.84.
PartnerRe Ltd's P/E (without Non-Recurring Items) ratio for today is 0.00.
PartnerRe Ltd's P/E (with Non-Recurring Items) ratio for today is 0.00.
It's a measure of the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) using forecasted earnings for the P/E calculation. While the earnings used are just an estimate and are not as reliable as current earnings data, there is still benefit in estimated P/E analysis. The forecasted earnings used in the formula can either be for the next 12 months or for the next full-year fiscal period.
The estimated P/E of a company is often used to compare current earnings to estimated future earnings, as well as gaining a clearer picture of what earnings will look like without charges and other accounting adjustments. If earnings are expected to grow in the future, the estimated P/E will be lower than the current P/E. This measure is also used to compare one company to another with a forward-looking focus.
Trailing P/E relies on what is already done. It uses the current share price and divides by the total EPS earnings over the past 12 months. P/E ratio can be affected by non-recurring items such as the sale of part of businesses. This may increase for the current year or quarter dramatically. But it cannot be repeated over and over. Therefore P/E (NRI) is a more accurate indication of valuation than P/E (TTM).

For current announcements, visit the SAP News Center»
SAP NEWSBYTE - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) and Aeroflot, the leading airline in Russia, today announced that they have started the second stage of an implementation of innovative technologies from SAP across Aeroflot subsidiaries, affiliates and subdivisions. The announcement was made today at a press event hosted by Vitaly Saveliev, Aeroflot JSC CEO, and Bill McDermott, co-CEO of SAP AG.
As part of the second stage, Aeroflot plans to complete the unification of the information systems and business processes and to centralize its IT processes. The new IT solutions are expected to help reduce costs significantly and improve operational efficiency. In addition, Aeroflot will adopt SAP solutions that are new to the Russian market, including:
A common implementation methodology for implementing SAP solutions in subsidiary companies, using the "one implementation, several replications" model, will help reduce the consulting services costs and provide common standards of support and development of IT solutions.
"The company envisions its development via the creation of a common information system ensuring well-coordinated and more effective operation of all units," said Saveliev. "The implementation of additional innovative SAP solutions in addition to the existing ERP system will give the airline a number of competitive advantages – operational, middle-term and strategic. Our purpose is to transform ourselves from the largest local player into a global network company. The purchase of new assets is always a painful process due to losses during the subsequent integration. A common IT platform speeds up this process and makes it maximally efficient."
"With this ambitious project, Aeroflot is setting a standard for technology innovation and operational excellence," said McDermott. "Under the leadership of Vitaly Saveliev, Aeroflot is already seeing the business value from its investment in increased reliability and safety and better experience for its customers. The customer-focused innovations we are introducing will be useful not only to Aeroflot JSC – Russian Airlines and SAP, but also to the broader air transport industry."
The first phase of implementation of the SAP ERP application began at Aeroflot JSC in 2009. As part of this effort, 11 projects were implemented in 18 months, including automation of such areas as bookkeeping and tax accounting, treasury, management accounting, international standards of financial statements, aircraft maintenance and repair and personnel management. The general contractor for the implementation was the consulting unit of SAP CIS. At present, more than 2,400 company specialists are working in the system.

"Once again, FTS has broadened its series of value-added contracts to serve the federal community," said Bob Suda, Assistant Commissioner for Information Technology Integration . "This will increase GSA's broad offerings and shows that GSA has the answer for all IT needs."

Earlier this week, the voters renewed our basic operational millage for another 20 years. Thanks again for your support and confidence.
In addition to our millage, three of our trustees were reelected to four year terms on our governing board. President Valerie Wright, treasurer Jim VanderRoest, and trustee Ian Kennedy will all remain on our board with new terms beginning July 1.
I appreciate their dedication to the library and their willingness to serve again. As KPL "tightens its belt" in these challenging economic times, our budget deliberations will require even more thoughtful, careful consideration. All our board members are good stewards of the public's trust.
Congratulations and thanks to Valerie, Jim, and Ian.

The instant Mike D'Antoni woke up Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. he remained convinced he would make his Lakers (5-5) coaching debut tonight against the Brooklyn Nets at Staples Center
He had slept for nearly 12 hours after going through physical therapy and taking pain medication for his recent knee replacement surgery. D'Antoni felt much more energetic than in recent days that forced him to sit or nap throughout the day. And with the Lakers embarking on a three-game trip this week, D'Antoni much preferred marking his first game appearance as Lakers Coach before the home crowd.
"I was a lot better today," D'Antoni said following the Lakers' morning shootaround. "I know I'm going to be a little tired. But I think the adrenaline will carry through the first couple days."
Of course, there could be an adjustment period.
D'Antoni hasn't worn crutches in the past four days, but he may keep them behind the bench in case he needs them. D'Antoni plans to sit for the game to minimize his movement. He envisions his rehab to last at least a "couple months." And D'Antoni and players alike recognize the danger that a loose-ball scrum could prove consequential.
"Hopefully the ball doesn't come his way," Lakers center Dwight Howard said. "We'll make sure he's protected tonight. We'll be praying for the angels to stay close. We're in Los Angeles so we should have some Angels."
Still, D'Antoni proved good enough to receive clearance from Lakers trainer Gary Vitti.
"I avoided him today," D'Antoni said, laughing. "That's the reason I'm out there. I haven't seen Gary."
After all, Vitti convinced D'Antoni to sit out of the Lakers' 119-108 victory Sunday over the Houston Rockets. The Lakers worried about D'Antoni's lack of mobility, reaction to medication and waning energy level. But D'Antoni said all of that has substantially improved.
"He was right and I knew he was right," D'Antoni said of Vitti. "But this time I'm right and I know he's okay with it."
The Lakers are dealing with other issues beyond D'Antoni's health.
The Lakers are still without Steve Nash (fractured left leg) and Steve Blake (lower abdomen) at least for another week. As much as he loves Darius Morris' speed and work ethic as the team's starting point guard, D'Antoni revealed he'll hold back installing more complex elements of his offense for now.
"You won't see w hat we want to do until Nash gets out there," D'Antoni said. "You just won't see it. We'll try to be good and do things when Nash gets out there and seer this is how we do it. I don't know exactly what that means but we'll be able to platy off of Nash and see what happens."
Still, the Lakers' offense has flourished since D'Antoni led practice last Thursday. In the past two games, the Lakers have averaged 116.5 points per contest on 50.5 percent shooting. D'Antoni joked those numbers won't last while he sits on the sideline.
"That always happens," he said. "I don't know why the hell we coach. If we leave them alone, they just go."

Mr. De Vinne makes a single comment upon the passage, in which he says the last comma in this extract is superfluous.
De Vinne notices an irregularity in the style of setting credits.
The De Vinne Press does not use a period after the letters and figures noting paragraph enumerations.
It is gaining ground rapidly in the best printing-houses, and is recommended by De Vinne, who uses it in his books.
The letter-press is of course De Vinne's best,—there is nothing better on this side of the Atlantic.
Mr. De Vinne says the dash should be selected whenever there is an abrupt change in a statement.
The De Vinne system should be mastered by typewriters, and used by them on all work that is left to their own judgment.
Mr. De Vinne illustrates his definition by a sentence which possesses special interest75 for the student of punctuation.
De Vinne says: Parentheses always inclose remarks apparently made by the writer of the text.

A few years ago, dozens of companies offered software to make free long-distance phone calls through technology called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). All you needed was a sound card, a microphone and speakers or a headset, and an Internet connection, and you could call any other PC that was online and using the same software. VoIP worked by breaking up your voice into tiny data packets and carrying them over the Internet. When the packets arrived at Aunt Jane's computer, she could hear your voice. Although the technology let you make free or close-to-free phone calls, the packets did not always reassemble perfectly, resulting in word dropouts or static,
Today, VoIP technology is so advanced that PC-to-PC calls sound almost as clear as those made on telephones. And thanks to companies such as Microsoft and Skype, they're still free because they bypass long-distance carriers. Here's how Microsoft's and Skype's VoIP applications work:

Racer Bios
Kenny Coolbeth
Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidson Factory Team rider Kenny Coolbeth has been racing – and winning – on motorcycles since he was five years old. The 33-year-old Connecticut native is a third-generation motorcycle racer and has been a member of the Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidson flat track team since 2006.
Coolbeth is a three-time Grand National Champion riding for the Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidson Factory Team (2006-2008). In 2012 Coolbeth finished the Grand National season in seventh place, with wins at Knoxville, Iowa, and Pomona, California. Both wins came after Coolbeth recovered from a leg fracture suffered at the Lima, Ohio, race, which caused the Harley rider to miss two races in the middle of
the season.
Coolbeth has 28 wins in eight seasons of racing at the Grand National level. He was named the AMA Flat Track Rookie of the Year in 1994, and began a steady climb up the ranks in Grand National competition. He won his first Grand National race
in 2002.
Coolbeth once worked construction jobs between races, but now races full-time for a living, training between events on both flat-track and motocross motorcycles. During the long New England winters, ice racing on local ponds keeps his skills sharp.
"Riding for the Harley-Davidson Factory Team is still the best opportunity in the sport," said Coolbeth. "They give me excellent equipment and put me in position to win the championship every season. This team has produced so many Grand National champions over the years; I feel like all those great riders are with me every time I zip up the factory leathers."
Andrew Hines
Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle®/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines is a three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle World Champion. Hines made his professional drag racing debut with the Screamin' Eagle team in 2002 at Bandimere Speedway near Denver. In 2004, at age 21, he became the youngest world champion in NHRA history as he rode the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson V-Rod to the Pro Stock Motorcycle title.
In 2005, Hines opened the season at Gainesville with a 6.991-second run to become the first Pro Stock Motorcycle rider to make a pass under seven seconds. Hines won the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle championship again in 2005 and 2006. In 2012 Hines scored a career-best six event wins in 11 final-round appearances, and on Oct. 9, 2012, set a new Pro Stock Motorcycle national Elapsed Time (ET) record of 6.728 seconds at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. Hines qualified for the Countdown to the Championship playoff series, and finished second in season points.
Andrew is the son of Vance & Hines Motorsports co-founder Byron Hines, whose teams have earned 12 national drag racing championships. His older brother, Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines crew chief Matt Hines, also was a three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle champion.
Andrew Hines works in the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines race shop and is an active participant in the assembly and testing of the team's Harley-Davidson V-Rod Pro Stock motorcycles.
Paul James
Paul James is a 15-year veteran of Harley-Davidson Motor Company and has held a variety of roles in Harley-Davidson's communication and marketing departments, working on Harley's PR, social media, entertainment marketing and most recently consumer events team. Paul is an avid motorcyclist and started club level road racing in 1994. He has raced in the 24-hours of Willow Springs, the 8-Hours of Daytona and the Daytona 200 and is currently competing in AMA Pro Racing's Vance & Hines XR1200 series.
Eddie Krawiec
Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle®/Vance & Hines rider Eddie Krawiec is a three-time NHRA® Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion, riding a Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidson V-Rod to the title in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
Krawiec began his motorcycle drag-racing career in 1999. He earned nine wins in the AMA Pro Star series and twice finished second in Pro Star points (2002-'03). He made his NHRA debut in 2004, and was working as the manager of Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, when he was invited to join the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines team before the 2007 season. In his first full NHRA season, Krawiec qualified for the Countdown playoffs and finished seventh in season points. In 2008, he qualified seventh for the Countdown and won 14 of a possible 20 rounds during the five-race playoffs, and won the 2008 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle world championship. Krawiec was only second driver and first since Rob Bruins (TF) in 1979 to win a championship without winning a race. Krawiec won four events and claimed his second Pro Stock Motorcycle championship in 2011.
Krawiec successfully defended his Pro Stock Motorcycle title in 2012, dominating the class with nine wins in 11 final-round appearances, twice winning at three events in a row. He was the top qualifier for the Countdown to the Championship playoffs and won the championship by 82 points. On March 2, 2012, Krawiec set a new NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle national Elapsed Time (ET) record of 6.750 seconds at Gainesville, Florida, a mark that was surpassed later in the season by his Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle®/Vance & Hines teammate, Andrew Hines.
Krawiec set the Pro Stock Motorcycle top-speed record of 199.26 mph at Gainesville in 2011.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in order to further the purposes of existing treaties with the Navajo Indians, to
Page 499
provide facilities, employment, and services essential in combating hunger, disease, proverty, and demoralization among the members of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes, to make available the resources of their reservations for use in promoting a self-supporting economy and self-reliant communities, and to lay a stable foundation on which these Indians can engage in diversified economic activities and ultimately attain standards of living comparable with those enjoyed by other citizens, the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and directed to undertake within the limits of the funds from time to time appropriated pursuant to this Act, a program of basic improvements for the conservation and development of the resources of the Navajo and Hopi Indians, the more productive employment of their manpower, and the supplying of means to be used in their rehabilitation, whether on or off the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. Such program shall include the following projects for which capital expenditures in the amount shown after each project listed in the following subsections and totaling $88,570,000 are hereby authorized to be appropriated:
(1) Soil and water conservation and range improvement work, $10,000,000.
(2) Completion and extension of existing irrigation projects, and completion of the investigation to determine the feasibility of the proposed San Juan-Shiprock irrigation project, $9,000,000.
(3) Surveys and studies of timber, coal, mineral, and other physical and human resources, $500,000.
(4) Development of industrial and business enterprises, $1,000,000.
(5) Development of opportunities for off-reservation employment and resettlement and assistance in adjustments related thereto, $3,500,000.
(6) Relocation and resettlement of Navajo and Hopi Indians (Colorado River Indian Reservation), $5,750,000.
(7) Roads and trails, $20,000.000.
(8) Telephone and radio communication systems, $250,000.
(9) Agency, institutional, and domestic water supply, $2,500,000.
(10) Establishment of a revolving loan fund, $5,000,000.
(11) Hospital buildings and equipment, and other health conservation measures, $4,750,000.
(12) School buildings and equipment, and other educational measures, $25,000,000.
(13) Housing and necessary facilities and equipment, $820,000.
(14) Common service facilities, $500,000.
Funds so appropriated shall be available for administration, investigations, plans, construction, and all other objects necessary for or appropriate to the carrying out of the provisions of this Act. Such further sums as may be necessary for or appropriate to the annual operation and maintenance of the projects herein enumerated are hereby also authorized to be appropriated. Funds appropriated under these authorizations shall be in addition to funds made available for use on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations, or with respect to Indians of the Navajo Tribes, out of appropriations heretofore or hereafter granted for the benefit, care, or assistance of Indians in general, or made pursuant to other authorizations now in effect.
The foregoing program shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this Act and existing laws relating to Indian affairs, shall include such facilities and services as are requisite for or incidental to the effectuation of the projects herein enumerated, shall apply sustained-yield principles to the administration of all renewable resources, and shall be prosecuted in a manner which will provide for completion of the program, so far as practicable, within ten years from the date of the enactment of this Act. An account of the progress being had in the rehabilitation of the Navajo and Hopi Indians, and of
Page 500
the use made of the funds appropriated to that end under this Act, shall be included in each annual report of the work of the Department of the Interior submitted to the Congress during the period covered by the foregoing program.
Navajo and Hopi Indians shall be given, whenever practicable, preference in employment on all projects undertaken pursuant to this Act, and, in furtherance of this policy, may be given employment on such projects without regard to the provisions of the civil-service and classification laws. To the fullest extent possible, Indian workers on such projects shall receive on-the-job training in order to enable them to become qualified for more skilled employment.
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, under such regulations as he may prescribe, to make loans from the loan fund authorized by section 1 hereof to the Navajo Tribe, or any member or association of members thereof, or to the Hopi Tribe, or any member or association of members thereof, for such productive purposes as, in his judgment, will tend to promote the better utilization of the manpower and resources of the Navajo or Hopi Indians. Sums collected in repayment of such loans and sums collected as interest or other charges thereon shall be credited to the loan fund, and shall be available for the purpose for which the fund was established.
Any restricted Indian lands owned by the Navajo Tribe, members thereof, or associations of such members, or by the Hopi Tribe, members thereof, or associations of such members, may be leased by the Indian owners, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, for public, religious, educational, recreational, or business purposes, including the development or utilization of natural resources in connection with operations under such leases. All leases so granted shall be for a term of not to exceed twenty-five years, but may include provisions authorizing their renewal for an additional term of not to exceed twenty-five years, and shall be made under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Secretary. Restricted allotments of deceased Indians may be leased under this section, for the benefit of their heirs or devisees, in the circumstances and by the persons prescribed in the Act of July 8, 1940 (54 Stat. 745; 25 U.S.C., 1946 edition, sec. 380). Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to repeal or affect any authority to lease restricted Indian lands conferred by or pursuant to any other provision of law.
In order to facilitate the fullest possible participation by the Navajo Tribe in the program authorized by this Act, the members of the tribe shall have the right to adopt a tribal constitution in the manner herein prescribed. Such constitution may provide for the exercise by the Navajo Tribe of any powers vested in the tribe or any organ thereof by existing law, together with such additional powers as the members of the tribe may, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, deem proper to include therein. Such constitution shall be formulated by the Navajo Tribal Council at any regular meeting, distributed in printed form to the Navajo people for consideration, and adopted by secret ballot of the adult members of the Navajo Tribe in an election held under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, at which a majority of the qualified votes cast favor such adoption. The constitution shall authorize the fullest possible participation of the Navajos in the administration of their affairs as approved by the Secretary of the Interior and shall become effective when approved by the Secretary. The constitution may be amended from time to time in the same manner as herein provided for its adoption, and the Secretary of the Interior shall approve any amendment which in the opinion of the Secretary of the Interior advances the development of the Navajo people toward the fullest realization and exercise of the rights, privileges, duties, and responsibilities of American citizenship.
Page 501

Beginning with the quarter commencing July 1, 1950, the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay quarterly to each State (from sums made available for making payments to the States under sections 3 (a), 403 (a), and 1003 (a) of the Social Security Act) an amount, in addition to the amounts prescribed to be paid to such State under such sections, equal to 80 per centum of the total amounts of contributions by the State toward expenditures during the preceding quarter by the State, under the State plans approved under the Social Security Act for old age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the needy blind, to Navajo and Hopi Indians residing within the boundaries of the State on reservations or on allotted or trust lands, with respect to whom payments are made to the State by the United States under section 3 (a), 403 (a), and 1003 (a), respectively, of the Social Security Act, not counting so much of such expenditure to any individual for any month as exceeds the limitations prescribed in such sections.
(a) There is hereby established a joint congressional committee to be known as the Joint Committee on Navajo-Hopi Indian Administration (hereinafter referred to as the "committee"), to be composed of three members of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate, not more than two of whom shall be from the same political party, and three members of the Committee on Public Lands of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, not more than two of whom shall be from the same political party. A vacancy in the membership of the committee shall be filled in the same manner as the original selection. The committee shall elect a chairman from among its members.
(b) It shall be the function of the committee to make a continuous study of the programs for the administration and rehabilitation of the Navajo and Hopi Indians, and to review the progress achieved in the execution of such programs.

Stone, John
John Stone appears to have been a storekeeper in North Dennis, Massachusetts in the 1830s and 1840s. He also dealt in lumber, wood products, and building materials.
This volume represents a number of miscellaneous accounts, and because there are no page numbers, the exact nature of the book is difficult to discern and information is difficult to extract. Starting at the front, a more or less complete list of the accounts includes: cost of loads of lumber, 1837-1840; accounts with individuals, 1837-1840; invoice of goods, 1839; bills not paid, 1840-1841.

Beyond the Beat! -MP3-
April 29th 2008
Here are some of the tracks found on this last trip that probably aren't dancefloor material (perhaps with the exception of Mamo Lagbema's "zambo zambo"). Nevertheless, this is some incredible music. Check out the two haunting Blues songs by El Rego towards the end! Sorry about the static humm on the track by Les Ambassadeurs... there's something wrong with the electrical grounding at our house and I think that's what caused this problem. If I get around to it, I'll re-record the mix but I can't promise. Time is tight and preparing for a transcontinental move from West Africa to NYC turns out to be a big pain in the neck...
