The schema version is revealed via the objectversion attribute off of the schema object from your configuration head of the forest i.e "cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=yourdomain,dc=int".
So using Quest Cmdlets, you can run this query :
Get-QADObject "cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=yourdomain,dc=int" -ip objectversion | select objectversion
The –ip is the alias for includedproperties.
And, when using the native AD Cmdlets of Server 2008 R2 (ADWS), the syntax is slightly different ;
Get-ADObject "cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=r2,dc=lab" -properties objectversion
Above, you see the query ran with Quest Cmdlets resulting in objectversion 31 which is against a Server 2003 R2 Forest, whereas the latter is for a Server 2008 R2 Forest i.e Schema version 47.

Offshore education major export earner for New Zealand
Wellington, Aug 19 (IANS) New Zealand's education sector saw revenue from services delivered abroad rise from about $75 million in 2012 to $124 million in 2015, a statement said on Friday.
The report from the Education New Zealand agency also showed that the added value, or broader contribution to the economy, of education services delivered overseas was $175 million, Xinhua news agency reported.
The top markets shown were Australia, China, the US and Britain.
International education was New Zealand's fifth largest export industry, with onshore education delivery estimated to be worth $2 billion annually in the year ending March, Steven Joyce,
The government aimed to increase the value of international education to $3 billion by 2025 and, as part of that, to increase education services exports to $363 million, Steven Joyce, Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, said in a statement.
"There is a huge growth opportunity offshore for New Zealand education providers," Joyce said.

Prima Guides – Why Won't I Ever Learn?October 5, 2008
Don't look at me like that. I can't stand it — those accusing eyes. That harrowing look. That glare that says, "Syp, you're a 32-year-old gamer who really should know better." I might as well have a scarlet "Epic Fail" hanging on my chest.
For I, yes, I, bought a copy of both the Warhammer Online Prima Strategy Guide and the Atlas. I knew what I was doing, I knew it was stupid, and I have paid $30 for that stupidity.
Here's how it went down. I drove down to Gamestop on September 17th to pick up my Collector's Edition — which, wonder of wonders, the register monkeys didn't lose. The clerk actually tried to convert me into playing World of Warcraft as he rung me up a completely different MMORPG — "Yes, I've heard of WoW," I said, my eye twitching. "It's only been out for four years." Perhaps I was distracted by his constant attempts to sell me crap I didn't need — a one year subscription to Games Informer! pre-orders for Madden 2017! a Dreamcast! — but I saw a bundled copy of the Prima Strategy Guide and Atlas and was told that, if I purchase them now, they'd oh so kindly knock off $10 from the price.
They knew I was being taken, as I paid for it. I knew it. Even the clueless mom buying GTA IV for her toddler gave me a patronizing "tsk".
So as I continue on in this article to tell you just how much these guides suck eggs (that's the third grader in me coming out), you must recognize that I knew better and still did it anyway. You can't blame me for being caught up in the "WOOHOO Warhammer's out!" frenzy of excitement.
Hopefully you all know that hardcopy strategy guides are just about worthless in this day and age of the internet, and if not, here's Penny Arcade to reinforce that message. MMO strat guides, even more so, since whatever information the books might contain will be outdated the second you purchase the guide. Literally, that second. I figured there might be a tidbit or two of useful knowledge therein, so I got them anyway, but it ended up being $30 of fluff and filler that will certainly line the darkest recesses of my closet for the rest of time.
Forget the Atlas, because about 100% of its maps are contained in the Strategy Guide. So it's the Strategy Guide, just dumbed down even more. And here's the thing, none of the maps in either the Atlas or the Strat Guide are useful for anything. They label PQs, quest hubs and RvR objectives. That's about it. There's no big arrows that helpfully point to "HUGE SECRETS HERE!", or warnings about what to avoid, or, really, anything more than you'd get in game as your map autocompletes. My mind reels at the sheer wastefulness of these maps, but I shouldn't even be surprised after reading the introduction to the strategy guide.
Let me paraphrase. The strat guide begins with the Prima authors essentially going, "We're all SUPER excited to be writing about this TERRIFIC game! Mythic's really nice to us and was excited to help us too! But we realized that you can't have a strategy guide to point out all of the quests and secrets of a game where everything might change with the next patch, so we're trying something DIFFERENT. We're just going to SKIP all that stuff, and focus on RvR strategy instead."
Let me paraphrase that paraphrase: it was just too tough to try to cover a MMO, so the authors flipped up their hands and went "Naw", then scribbled down strategy sections for each career that's written in some pseudo-fictional voice (good luck trying to read 10 pages of Greenskin writing without developing a migraine). I've never actually seen a strategy guide admit defeat before it ever began, so that was a novel approach, at least.
The only semi-useful part of the strategy guide are the career sections, mostly because it's the only place with charts that try to detail abilities, morales, tactics and mastery paths. Of course that's all out of date in several places, but it's there if you want a quick offline reference to give you an idea what a career has to offer.
As for the touted "RvR strategies", it mostly boils down to common sense. If you're a healer, heal and be friends with a tank. Tanks should tank. DPS should DPS. Cheerleaders should do a half-spring somersault. Syp should die. Then you get to the scenario strategy sections, which are even more patronizing: "You really, really need to get to the flag before the enemy!" the guide will say in a slow, sing-songy voice.
Like the phone book, the hardcopy strategy guide is obsolete and yet still in production, possibly because of people like me who knew better but dropped a third of a C-note on them anyway. If a store clerk tries to push these on you, just say "BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!" and run from the store immediately.

"The Baloney Detection Kit"
by Maria Popova
"The "Baloney Detection Kit" from the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science and Skeptic Magazine editor Michael Shermer is a 10-point checklist for assessing the believability of a claim, covering everything from telling the difference between science (e.g., SETI) and pseudoscience (e.g., UFOlogy) to detecting personal agendas.
"You want to have a mind that's open enough to accept radical new ideas, but not so open that your brains fall out."
The above sentiment in particular echoes this beautiful definition of science as "systematic wonder" driven by an osmosis of empirical rigor and imaginative whimsy.
The complete checklist:
1. How reliable is the source of the claim?
2. Does the source make similar claims?
3. Have the claims been verified by somebody else?
4. Does this fit with the way the world works?
5. Has anyone tried to disprove the claim?
6. Where does the preponderance of evidence point?
7. Is the claimant playing by the rules of science?
8. Is the claimant providing positive evidence?
9. Does the new theory account for as many phenomena as the old theory?
10. Are personal beliefs driving the claim?"
○"It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. Obviously those two modes of thought are in some tension. But if you are able to exercise only one of these modes, whichever one it is, you're in deep trouble.
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You never learn anything new. You become a crotchety old person convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) But every now and then, maybe once in a hundred cases, a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you are too much in the habit of being skeptical about everything, you are going to miss or resent it, and either way you will be standing in the way of understanding and progress.
On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful as from the worthless ones. If all ideas have equal validity then you are lost, because then, it seems to me, no ideas have any validity at all.
Some ideas are better than others. The machinery for distinguishing them is an essential tool in dealing with the world and especially in dealing with the future. And it is precisely the mix of these two modes of thought that is central to the success of science."

Another good read from Relevant Magazine. Thanks to Melissa for passing this along. Unfortunately, people leave churches for all of the wrong reasons all the time. Hopefully this will be food for thought in case you ever personally struggle with this. Keep the faith, brothers and sisters!

Before You Post....
Got this from Gloor, our worship minister, yesterday. Basic message is think before your post brothers and sisters. Sometimes you can blow your entire witness in a single post. I have a check that I do personally and that I encourage others to do before you speak, post, tweet, vent, whatever:
1) Is it true?
2) Is it kind?
3) Is it necessary?
1) Is it true?

Christian Yoga? Now That's A Stretch
Wanted to pass this article along from Mark Driscoll that was brought to my attention from one of our elders here at Oakwood. Though I don't agree with everything that Mark puts out, this is a very thought provoking article for any Christian to consider. Pray and discern, and compare it to the Living Word! (I also like his receive, reject, and restore thoughts on engaging culture. Good stuff there.)

Lake O'Hara
Posted on September 9, 2014
Lake O'Hara is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and they limit the amount of people that can go into this fragile alpine area daily. Kirstie and I book a day there every September and every year it is completely different. Last year we had a day that was without a cloud in the sky, 22 degrees and the Larch trees had already turned golden yellow. Today was very different and just as stunning and surreal as ever as a recent snowstorm had just hit the area. It is not far from Banff but feels quite different as it is on the western side of the Divide. This place has been named by National Geographic as the second most beautiful place on earth only behind the Fjords of Norway. I haven't been to Norway and really want to go but to be honest if I could spend one day every September in this place, then I really don't need anything else. It truly is a special place and we have really only touched the surface of what there is to see on the abundance of hikes in the area. Lake O'Hara is a hiker's paradise and holds a great amount of diversity. See more photos that Kirstie took here.
Like A Kid In A Candy Shop
Posted on September 8, 2014
Today we received an abundance of snow, our first snowfall of the year. It was 22 degrees yesterday and both Kirstie and I received sunburns. Today was a very different story. Snow has come very early and today was one of those days that I will not easily forget. There was lightening, thunder, and snow! Lots of snow! So I naturally took to the fat bike immediately and hit the Spray Loop where I came across a moose within the first couple of kilometers. Thunder, moose, snow, how can a day get any better? Kirstie took some photos of me as I arrived back in town near our home. See the full post here. Snowtember is continuing into the middle of the week as it looks so far.

Cooler and wetter weather has once again returned to our mountain town making it feel as if fall is not far off now. Fortunately for me, Fall is my favourite season especially for hiking and biking! See more photos of foggy Banff here.

It's been a very warm July for the Canadian Rockies and the wildflowers are out in full force now. I have been photographing them as they arrive and have been putting together a photo list here. There are so many more and such little time. Off to the Alpine I go.
The Monarch Ramparts
Posted on July 7, 2014
I made my first summer hike up into the Alpine of Banff National Park today. It has taken awhile for the snow to come off to get to some of my favourite areas and without a doubt the Monarch Ramparts are my absolute favourite spot to get out into the true wilds of Banff National Park. See more of my photos from the day here.
A Decade In Banff
Posted on July 2, 2014
Kirstie and I arrived in Banff ten years ago this last Canada Day. I was moving to a new country and Kirstie was returning home. Canada's Birthday could not have been a better date to have be our first to enter the country and more importantly to enter this incredibly beautiful town that we have called home for ten years now. We are both very much looking forward to the next ten years and the rest of our lifetime in this place that we have settled. We recently put together a list of our ten most favourite things to do around Banff here, on our collaboration Canoe Wedding.

Review of The Beautiful Word 365 Devotional
As a member of the Harper Collins book review team, I'm reviewing The Beautiful Word 365 Devotional
This devotional is a hard cover book containing a devotion for every day of the year. A companion to the Beautiful Word Coloring Bible that I reviewed last year, it contains many of the same full color verses in the margins, but without anything to color on your own. It does however have extra lines on every other page for you to express your own thoughts or to add notes to.
Much like the title, this book is a very beautiful book. It would make the perfect gift to give to friends or family. (There's a special presentation page to gift to someone) I especially like the size of the book. It's a bit heavier than most devotionals, but the compact size makes it easy to hold and read. I would absolutely recommend this book to all of my readers. Look here first for your next personal devotional or friend gift.
Book Details
Book: The Beautiful Word 365 Devotional
Hardcover: 400 pages
Publisher: Thomas Nelson (April 11, 2017)
Purchasing Info
Available from Amazon and other book retailers.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes. I was not asked to give a favorable review; all opinions are mine.

More than 200 million people worldwide are exposed to excessive fluoride in drinking water. According to the World Health Organisation, the optimal concentration range of fluoride in drinking water is 0.5 to 1.5 mg/L. Above this range, populations may contract dental fluorosis or, in severe cases, crippling skeletal fluorosis. In the Gokwe area in NW Zimbabwe, where drinking water contains up to 11 mg/L fluoride, fluorosis prevalence has previously been estimated at 62%. This paper investigates the water quality of 126 water sources in Gokwe (58 pumped boreholes, 15 flowing artesian boreholes, 46 wells and 7 streams). The water chemistry, determined from high performance ion chromatography and field measurements, showed that the water source types exhibit significantly different (P < 0.05) concentrations of F−, Cl−, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, temperatures, pH and conductivity values. Thirty-five (28%) of the 126 water sources (18 pumped boreholes, 15 artesian boreholes, one well and one stream) contained F− > 1.5 mg/L, indicating that fluoride contamination in the area is a characteristic of deeper groundwater, possibly due to its interactions with the potentially fluoridic coaly and carbonaceous materials of the Lower Karoo Aquifer at depth. The plausibility of providing alternative low fluoride water, and defluoridation, should be investigated.

Implications of Recent Soviet Military Political Activities
this estimate is issued by the director of central intelligence.
the national foreign intelligence board concurs, except as noted in the text.
The following intelligence organization participated in the preparation of the Estimate:
The Central InteKgcnce Agency, Ihe Defense Intelligence Agency, the Notional Security Agency, ond the intelligence orgoniiotion of the Deportment of State.
Also Participating!
The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of the Army The Director of Naval InteSgence. Department of the Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, lnt**genee. Department of the Air Force The Director of Intelligence. Headquarters. Marino Corps
During the post severalumber of coincident Soviet activities have created concern that ihey reflect abnormal Soviei fear of conflict with (he United States, belligerent intent thai might risk conflict, or sonic other underlying Soviet purpose These activities have included large-scahr military exercises (amongajor naval exercise in the Norwegian Sea. unprecedentedaunch activity, and large-scale SSBNreparations for iilr operations against Afghanistan; attempts to change tin: air corridor regime in Berlin; new military measures termed responsive Io NATO INF deployments; and shrill propagandaieightened danger of war to US |
Examining these developments in terms of several hypotheses, we reach the following conclusions:
We believe strongly thai Soviet actions are noi inspired by. and Soviet leaders do notenuine danger of imminent conflict or confrontation with the United States This judgment is bawd on the absence of forcewide combat readiness or other war preparation moves in lhe USSR, and the absenceone of fear or belligerence in Soviet diplomatic communications, although lhe latter remain uncompromising on many issues. There have also been instances where the Soviets appear to have avoided belligerent propan.uula or actions Recent Soviet "war scare" propaganda, of declining intensity over the period examined, is aimed primarily at discrediting US policies and mobilizing "peace" pressures among various audiences abroad. This war scare propaganda has reverberated in Soviet security bureaucracies and emanated through otltcr cliannels such as human sources. We do not believe it reflects authenticfears of imminent cunflict.|
We do noi believe thai Soviet war talk and olher actions "musk" Soviei prcparallons for an imminent move toward confrontation on the part of the USSR, although they have an incentive to take initiatives that discredit US policies even at some risk. Were the Soviets preparing an initiative they believedeal risk of military confrontation with the United States, we would see preparatory signs which the Soviets could noi mask.f-
The Soviet actions examined are influenced to some extent by-Soviet perceptionsounting challenge from L'S foreign and defense policy. However, these activities do not all fit into an tn-tesrated pattern of current Soviet foreign policy tactics | j
Each Soviet action has its own military or political purixne sufficient to explain il. Soviet military exercises are designed to meet long-term requirements for force development andwhich have become ever more complex with the growl It of Soviet military capabilities
In specific cases, Soviet military exercises are probably intended to have the ancillary effect of sigmling Soviet power and resolve to some audience. For instance, maneuvers in the Tonkin Gulf were aimed at backing Vietnam against China; Soviet airpower use in Afghanistan could have been partly aimed at intimidating Pakistan; and Soviet aclion on Berlin has the effect of reminding the West of iu vulnerable access, but very low-key Soviet handling has muted this effect
Taken in their totality, Soviet talk about the increased likelihood of nuclear war and Soviet military actions doolitical intention of speakingouder voice and showing firmnessontrolled display of military muscle. The apprehensive oullook we believe the Soviel leadership has toward the longer term US arms buildup could in the future increase its willingness to considereven at some heightenedrecapture the initiative andthe challenge posed by the United St*te*.Q
These judgments ure tempered by some uncertainty as to current Soviet leadership perceptions of the United States, bv continued uncertainty about Politburo decisionmaking processes, and by our inability al this point loetailed examination of how the Soviets might have assessed recent US/NATO military exercises aod reconnaissance operation* Notwithstanding these uncertainties,we are confident that, as of now, the Soviets see not an imminent military clashostlysomeperilous strategic and political struggle over ihe rest of the decade j

civilian requirements More immediately, the Soviets are concerned that the United States couldhift in Ihe overall balance of military power which, through more interventionist foreign policies, could effectively thwart the extension of Soviet influence in world affairs and even roll back past Soviet gains. From this perspective, the United Stales' actions in Central America, Lebanon, Grenada, and southern Afilca are seenoken of what could he expectedroader scale In the future.|
Third, and most important for this assessment, we do not believe the Soviet leadership sees an imminent threat of war with Ihe United Stales. It is conceivable Ihal the stridency of Soviet "war scare" propagandaenuine Soviei worryear-future attack on them. This concern could be inspired by Soviet views about the depth of anti-Soviet Intentions in Washington combined wiih elements of their own military doctrine projected onto lhe United States, such as the virtues of surprise, striking first, and masking hostile initiatives in exercises. Some political and military leaders have stressed tbe danger of war mote forcefully than others, suggesting that there may have been differences on thisal leas! how to talk about thethe past half year.
However, on the basis of what we believe to be very strong evidence, we judge that lhe Sovieidoes not perceive an imminent danger of war. Our reasons are the following1
The Soviets have not initiated the militarymoves they would have made if iheya US attack were imminent.
In private US diplomatic exchanges with Moscow over the past six months the Soviets have neither made any direct threats connected with regional or other Issues nor betrayed any (earS attack.
Obligatory public assertions of the viability of the Soviet nuclear deterrent have been paralleled by private assertions within regime circles by Soviet experts that there Istable nuclear balance in which the United States does not have suflicient strengthirst strike.
In recent months top leaders, including theof Defense and Politburo member Dmitriy Ustinov, have somewhat downplayed the nuclear war danger, noting that it should not be "over-dramatized" (although Ustinov's recent Victory
Day speech returnedomewhat shrillert the same time, high foreign affairs officials have challenged tbe thesis that theStates can unleash nuclear war and have emphasized constraints onourse of action.
Moreover, the Soviets know thai the United Slates is at present far from having accomplished all of its force buildup objectives!
Recent Soviet Military Activities
ntimidation? It is possible that some of the Soviet military activities listed above were Intended, as ancillary to their military objectives, to intimidateaudiences:
The East Asian naval maneuvers, deployment of strike aircraft to Vietnam, and amphibioushave displayed military muscle Io China.
The bombing campaign in Afghanistan could be seen not only as an operation against thebul also as an implicit threat loand perhaps Iran.
In mounting large-scale and visible exercises (such as the March-April Northern and Baltic Fleet exercise in lhe Norwegian Sea) Moscow would understand that they could be perceived as threatening by NATO audiences. ^
Soviet INF-relaled military activities liavc also been designed to convey an Impression to the Weil that the worldore dangerous place following US INF deployment and that the USSR Is making good on its prede ploy men! threats to counter with deployments of ils own. ^
There is uncertainty within the Intelligence Community on the origins of Soviet behavior with respect to the Berlin air corridors. It is possible that Soviet actioneliberate lemlnder of Western vulnerability. Alternatively, airspace requirements for exercises may have motivated this move. The luw-key manner in which the Soviets have handled the issue docs not suggest lhat they have been interested in squeezing access to Berlin for intimidation purposes Nevertheless, the Soviets have been in lhe process of unilaterally changing the corridor (light rules and thereby reminding the West of their ultimate power to control access lo Berlin.hort hiatus in bte April and early May, the Soviets declared new air corridor restrictions, indicating thai this effort

Well, not having a charger at the time just put it on the shelf in my garage and forgot about it, for two years now. Basically the electrolytes in the water attach themself to the plates, and they choke the battery from being able to re-charge properly... 3 of my 6 cells were sulphated, that is why I couldn't get more than about 5.5v charge to stick (2.2v/cell), it would just drain overnight. You have to "shock it" back to life to turn that sulfate collections to Electrolytes, and allow the plates to except the charge.
So I followed these steps:
- Connect a known good battery (12.6 - 12.8v) to the dead battery in parallel (+ to +, - to -) with jumper cables.
- Connect the charger to the Battery to start charging it.
- Check every hour or so until the dead battery is at least 10.5v (min for an auto charger to recognize it as a good battery)
- Continue to charge the prevously dead battery until the Charger shuts off (or it gets too hot, it can get warm, but not hot).
- Wait 24 hours for the surface charge to dissapate (mine ended up at 14.23v)
- Properly maintain the battery with a solar charger, or maintainer charger.
Well it seemed to work with the Red Top (due to spiral cores of their plates and the very low internal resistance), I'll give this a try with the deep cycle (Marine/RV) that came with the trailer too, maybe I can get some life out of the old girl after all.

They can be difficult to diagnose by just pulling on the wheel, yet can still cause a racket over rough terrain. You need to have the wheel raised, then grasp the bottom of the tire with both hands and tug vigorously upwards--hard as you can. Hear a slight "thunk"? That amount of wear is all it takes to create some banging over bumps--especially if the rear is loaded. At 140K miles, you're due. Phil P.S.

Clipper Darrell's betrayal — of the Clippers
March 1, 2012
Bill Plaschke
Three decades ago, the Lakers had an unofficial mascot who got too big for his tuxedo. He was an entertaining fan who became so popular, he eventually wanted money to continue being that fan. The Lakers tried paying him but couldn't pay him enough to keep him happy, so he stopped coming to games and eventually faded into anonymity. Remember Dancing Barry? He's about to be joined by Clipper Darrell. The Clippers' unofficial cheerleader, the rotund dancing guy in a red and blue suit named Darrell Bailey, caused a stir this week when he issued a statement on his website claiming that the Clippers, "no longer want me to be Clipper Darrell.… I am devastated!"
Owner occupied
April 28, 2014
They began the game huddled in a concrete hallway, arms locked, bodies swaying, desperately begging each other to stay united through the storm. "It's just us . . . only us . . . we're all we got!" They ended the game trudging through the same hallway in single file, heads down, eyes vacant, sighs heavy, their earlier hopes lost in the echoes of the silence. The Clippers tried. Oh, did they try. One day after being dragged into the center of national outrage with the release of an audio recording containing racist statements purportedly made by their owner, Donald Sterling, the Clippers tried to play through the storm.

Charlotte had a 10-6 record under Silas entering Friday's game and is in the chase for a playoff spot in the East. Bobcats center Kwame Brown, a former Laker, has had four double-doubles this month; guard Stephen Jackson leads the team in scoring with 18 points a game.

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who for 30 years has presided over the city's second NBA franchise, became the object of national outrage and the target of an NBA investigation Saturday after allegedly making derogatory remarks about blacks. In an audio recording, released by celebrity gossip site TMZ, a person identified as Sterling argues with his girlfriend, criticizing her for posting a picture of herself on Instagram posing with Lakers legend Magic Johnson. "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people," Sterling allegedly says, later adding, "I'm just saying, in your ...

March 6, 2014
By Eric Pincus
The Clippers (42-20) have hopes for an NBA title in June. The Lakers (21-40) are eyeing the top pick in the NBA draft. On Thursday night, the Lakers are to host the Clippers at Staples Center. The two local teams met on the season's opening night, with the Lakers getting a huge performance from their bench to upset the Clippers, 116-103. In January, the Clippers returned the favor with a dominating 123-87 win. The Clippers aren't likely to have Jamal Crawford (calf) and certainly won't have J.J. Redick (back)

By Broderick Turner
The Clippers fell down hard Wednesday on the first date of this five-game trip, losing to a New Orleans Pelicans team that was injury-riddled. Now the Clippers will try to pick up the pieces tonight when they face the Dallas Mavericks in a back-to-back game. The Clippers have won both meetings with Dallas this season, outscoring the Mavericks, 16-2, in the final 3 minutes, 51 seconds to win a game on the road and then erasing a 17-point deficit in 4:30 to get the win at Staples Center.

Clippers beat Atlanta, 96-82
March 14, 2012
By Melissa Rohlin
The Clippers made progress in clawing themselves out of their recent slump with a 96-82 win against Atlanta on Wednesday. It was a lopsided victory in which the Clippers often led by double digits, and never trailed. The Hawks went on a run at the start of the fourth quarter, coming to within five points of the Clippers after Josh Smith made a three-pointer to put the score at 74-69. But the Clippers were not about to lose their third game in a row on their home court -- and it was the team's bench that ensured the victory.

By Melissa Rohlin
The Clippers will enter the All-Star break with momentum. They snapped their two-game losing streak with a 103-95 victory over Denver at Staples Center in front of a sellout crowd of 19,163. Chris Paul opened the fourth quarter with a quick seven points to help give the Clippers an 89-85 advantage. But behind Al Harrington and Jordan Hamilton's offense, the Nuggets came back. The Clippers trailed by one point at 92-91 with just over five minutes left -- and then they took over.
Warriors fans unleash their fury on Clippers owner Donald Sterling
April 27, 2014
By Ben Bolch
OAKLAND -- Golden State Warriors fans are among the most boisterous in the NBA, and they weren't holding back when it came to the brouhaha involving Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Shortly after the Clippers walked onto the court for warmups before Game 4 of their first-round series at Oracle Arena on Sunday, a fan chanted, "KKK-Clippers!", alluding to the racist remarks purportedly made by Sterling during a recent conversation with a female friend. Full coverage: The Donald Sterling controversy A voice that sounds like Sterling's can be heard in an audio recording released by TMZ telling his friend that he was upset she posted a picture on her Instagram account of herself next to Lakers legend Magic Johnson because he didn't want her to be associated with black people.
Clippers fans criticize Sterling for alleged racist rant
April 27, 2014
By Gale Holland, Louis Sahagun and Howard Blume
As the Clippers faced off against the Golden State Warriors in an NBA playoff game Sunday, basketball fans and bystanders across Los Angeles grappled with the racist rant attributed to team owner Donald Sterling and shared their thoughts. At 1739 Public House in Los Feliz, bartender Curtis Swanson said Sterling had been known as a racist and slumlord for 35 years. He doubted anything substantial would come of the controversy because "he's got more money than the people yelling at him." "I grew up in the Deep South and old money is always racist money," Swanson, 38, said.
Councilman drafts resolution against Sterling's alleged remarks
April 27, 2014
By Emily Alpert Reyes
Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard C. Parks and his staff are drafting an official city resolution to condemn racist remarks attributed to Clippers owner Donald Sterling and push the NBA to make "appropriate sanctions." Parks said such sanctions would be similar to those used against former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, who was repeatedly suspended from managing the baseball team in the '90s. The resolution, still being drafted Sunday afternoon, will also demand an apology to Magic Johnson and "the entire Los Angeles community," back the decision by the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP to drop plans to honor Sterling, and ask local newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, to stop running ads for Sterling "that display his commercial real estate empire and his alleged civic activities." "Sterling's actions are inconsistent with the United States human rights laws, the long-standing positions of the L.A. City Council, the diversity of the community, the fan base of the Clippers and the very high percentage of minorities who worked for and are working for the NBA," Parks said in a statement Sunday.

From President Obama to L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, there has been swift condemnation from political circles to a recording said to be of Clippers team owner Donald J. Sterling making remarks about blacks. "When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk," Obama said during a press conference in Malaysia. Sterling's alleged comments also met with criticism by L.A. officials. Garcetti said through a spokesman Saturday that he condemns the "statements and sentiments" attributed to Sterling. "These statements are offensive and despicable and have no place in Los Angeles.

April 27, 2014
By Barry Stavro
For all the Donald Sterling issues surrounding the team, the Clippers still have a critical game to play Sunday -- and several gambling sites have them as slight, two-point favorites in Game 4 of their playoff series against the Golden State Warriors. The Clippers squeaked out a 98-96 win in Oakland on Thursday to take a 2-1 lead in the series against the Warriors. But the Clippers have lost 15 of 18 games against the Warriors in the Bay Area. BetUS.com expects a big game from Blake Griffin, with his over-and-under in combined points scored and rebounds at 36 in Game 4. The gaming site also expects a big contribution from Stephen Curry, setting his points scored over-and-under at 23-1/2 for the Warriors' All-Star point guard.

Matt Kemp suddenly found himself linked to the Donald Sterling scandal Sunday. In the hours leading up to the Dodgers' 6-1 defeat by the Colorado Rockies, the celebrity gossip site TMZ released a second audio recording of what was said to be a conversation between the Clippers owner and a woman described in court filings as his girlfriend. The female voice in the recording promised to remove from her Instagram account a picture of her with Kemp. On a recorded conversation released earlier, a man identified as Sterling chided a female friend for "associating with black people.
Clippers can't deal with distractions or Warriors in 118-97 loss
April 27, 2014
By Broderick Turner
OAKLAND - The Clippers seemed weighed down Sunday afternoon in Game 4 by all the controversy that has engulfed them. And even though it was not of their own making, but that of owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers were in the storm and tried to stay afloat. But they could not avoid their albatross and a hot Golden State team, dropping a 118-97 decision to the Warriors at Oracle Arena. BOX SCORE: Golden State Warriors 118, Clippers 97 Instead of talking about the best-of-seven first-round series being tied at 2-2 or about regaining home-court advantage with their Game 3 win, the Clippers had to talk about Sterling's alleged racist comments about African Americans.
Doc Rivers unsure of future with Clippers in wake of Sterling uproar
April 27, 2014
By Ben Bolch
OAKLAND -- In a potentially ominous sign for the Clippers, Coach Doc Rivers acknowledged Sunday he wasn't sure about his future with the organization in the wake of racial remarks attributed to owner Donald Sterling. Asked if there were things he needed to hear and see from Sterling or others within the organization to want to continue working for the Clippers, Rivers said, "Don't know yet. I'm just going to leave it at that." Lakers star Kobe Bryant and Golden State Warriors Coach Mark Jackson were among those who have said they could not play for Sterling in the wake of an audio recording released by TMZ that purports to contain Sterling telling a female friend that he was upset she posted a picture on her Instagram account of herself next to Lakers legend Magic Johnson and didn't want her to bring him to Clippers games.

Jammers Lose For Fourth Time This Week
GENEVA — Winfred Nelson had a chance to beat his hometown Jamestown Jammers on Saturday night.
In the process he pulled the Geneva Red Wings closer to first place in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League's West Division.
Nelson, a Pine Valley graduate and soon-to-be senior at Hilbert College, threw six innings of eight-hit, four-run ball, striking out four and walking three as Geneva handed the Jammers their fourth loss of the week, 5-4, at McDonough Park.
Jamestown's Christ Conley (Canisius College) hit two home runs and Skyler Valentine (University of Texas-San Antonio) had three hits. Conley also doubled, ending his night with three hits and raising his team-best batting average to .406.
Along with Valentine's three hits, Ben Brookover (UTSA) and Alex O'Donnell (Mercyhurst University) contributed two hits each in defeat.
Bradley Griggs (UTSA) got the start on the hill for Jamestown (27-10) and worked the first 5ª innings. He gave up seven hits, five runs, walked three and struck out six. Nolan Hunt (Canisuis College) threw two scoreless innings out of the bullpen while Connor Ryan (Mercyhurst University) and Quinn Taylor (Felician University) saw action in relief as well.
The Jammers held a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth, but Geneva (22-15) plated four runs to take the lead for good.
Geneva's rally was highlighted by a two-run single from Jake Evans and an RBI single from Jake Lyle.
Trailing 5-4 entering the top of the ninth, Conley led off with a walk and Brookover's one-out single moved pinch-runner Christian Deaton (CSU Bakersfield) up to second, but Valentine flew out to center field and Jimmy Standohar (Mercyhurst) struck out to end the game.
The Jammers will look to get back on track today at Diethrick Park against the Newark Pilots. First pitch is slated for 3:05 p.m.

White Chicken Enchiladas
Welcome Pinners! Thanks for visiting. There have been hundreds of comments and questions on this recipe so I want to make some of the answers known up front. :) Enjoy the recipe!
1. This recipe calls for diced green chilies. Don't let that fool you, these are NOT spicy in the least.
2. If you would like, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the recipe. It is a 1 for 1 substitute.
3. If you cook your chicken first (rather than using a rotisserie chicken), you may wan to add some spices to give it extra flavor. I like the chicken to have good flavor. I tend to cook my chicken in the crock pot with some ground cumin, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
4. You can make this ahead and keep it in the fridge up to 24 hours. Just put it in the oven and increase the time a bit. You will want to make sure they are heated through.
5. This sauce does not freeze well. Then enchiladas themselves freeze really well. I freeze a few pans of them double wrapped in foil and then I just make the sauce the day of. Thaw them first, add the sauce, cook according to original instructions.
6. Yes, your friends and family will like their plate and ask for you to bring them to every gathering from here on out.

3. In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.

5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
6. Bake 22 min and then under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.

If you listen to the news you know about Rudy Giuliani's statement that Obama does not love America. I have to agree with him on that. I say what I really think most all the time, but it takes guts for such a public figure to say what he really thinks and not care if he is being politically correct or not. I am even more proud that Mayor Giuliani stuck by his statement and didn't back down. My hat is off to him for publically stating what many Americans also think, including myself.
The young man in this next video is only 12 years old, but has more common sense than many adults. It gives me hope for the future in this country. If this young man can clearly see the harm Obama is doing to this nation, it gives me hope that other young people will also see it. They will be voters someday.
One of the best things about this young man, CJ, is no one can accuse him of being racist toward the President. Good job, kid! Stay informed.
Your friend, Harley

A resident north of Tully and three people in the town have contracted locally-acquired cases of the disease.
A dengue fever outbreak was declared in Tully in February, when three people were diagnosed with type-two dengue.
