text: It's all happening in the Beach Party Capital of the world. Miami is the setting for "Dostana"--serving a cocktail of all ingredients to do with friendship, fun, frolic and that thing called Love--but with a slight twist. There is a small case of pretending to be gay! When Sameer and Kunal are turned down for an apartment because the landlady doesn't want two strapping young men to corrupt her young sexy niece Neha, they go to plan "G"--they pretend to be gay to secure the apartment. All is well until they meet the sexy siren Neha and thus begins a journey of fun, frolic and a test of friendship like never before. When Neha's boss Abhimanyu enters the fray as the third contender for her affections, it gets even hotter under everyone's vests and bikinis and the boys get down and dirty, in sunny Miami.

A turnaround by Hispanic voters, many of whom had previously supported a gambling measure in November, led the way to defeat for the slot machine referendum in Miami-Dade County.
A review of election data Wednesday showed that only 41 percent of voters in heavily Hispanic precincts approved of slots, while in heavily black precincts, including the Overtown and Liberty City areas, 55 percent of voters approved.
In heavily white precincts, 48 percent of voters approved it, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel review showed.
As a result, the measure to put slot machines at Flagler Dog Track, Miami Jai-Alai and Calder Race Course failed by more than 3 percentage points.
White voters approved the measure in the affluent north Miami-Dade communities of Golden Beach, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach and Bal Harbour, all a short drive from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale.
Only about 14 percent of voters cast ballots in Miami-Dade, but in many precincts only about 100 votes separated yes voters from no voters.
As a general rule Miami-Dade's slots vote broke down along racial and ethnic lines. That was particularly true in Hispanic neighborhoods, where appeals by Gov. Jeb Bush on Spanish-language radio against the proposal swayed many voters, particularly his Cuban-American supporters.
In the days leading up to the election, the governor took his campaign to Spanish-language radio and those stations heated up with hosts and callers issuing fervent warnings that slot machines would lead to the community's decay.
"I'm really proud of my community for saying that they don't want this as part of the future of their community," Bush, a longtime Miami-Dade resident, said in Tallahassee on Wednesday.
In November, Hispanic voters were more in favor of the constitutional amendment that allowed Tuesday's referendum, said Florida International University political science professor Kevin Hill.
"Jeb single-handedly turned around the Hispanic vote," he said.
Many voters apparently worried that slot machines would lead to full-fledged casinos in Miami-Dade, which they feared could increase crime and bring other economic and social ills to their doorstep. That and distrust of the campaign that promised the machines would bring more money to schools and more jobs to the region contributed to its failure, observers said, even as voters in neighboring Broward County approved slots at four facilities there.
"I'm not supporting the slots and I wouldn't mind seeing the lottery end also," said Miami-Dade voter Maria Alonso. "I don't believe that the money is going to education and that the job excuse is true."
The vote could also indicate the direction Dade voters want tourism and economic development to take in their county, said George Gonzalez, a political science professor at the University of Miami. Some voters believe casino-style gambling could bring single tourists interested in gambling, drinking and carousing, rather than family-oriented tourists, he said.
"They don't want to attract that kind of tourism," Gonzalez said. "They don't want this to become another Las Vegas or Atlantic City."
The tourism model in Miami-Dade, which relies on tourists spending money on local businesses, is different from areas that rely on gambling tourism, Gonzalez said. Money spent on gambling establishments tends to go into banks or leave the community, he said, and by rejecting slots voters might be indicating that they want tourism dollars reinvested in the county.
"For a place like South Florida, it does not seem to be a good development approach," he said.
Slots proponents touted the fact that the constitutional amendment calls for state tax revenue from the machines to be used to supplement funding for state schools. The Legislature will determine how much to tax the machines and what types of machines to allow.
Pari-mutuel executives and their supporters plan to bring the issue back before voters in two years. They were optimistic that their facilities could hang on until then, even if Broward locations have the competitive edge of slot machines.
"I think that there were people in Miami-Dade County who just did not understand our message," said Fred Havenick, owner of Flagler Dog Track. "I think that there was doubt that was raised. I personally feel the doubt really wasn't there, but [voters] felt that there were questions that had not been answered. In two years, those questions will be answered."

Hendrik Anthonisz (d. 1552)
Hendrik Anthonisz, an Anabaptist martyr, was captured with five fellow believers in 1552 at Amsterdam. Before the council they declared that they intended to remain loyal to their faith. The government ordered him and Reyer Egbertsz to be tortured on 28 June. Because they did not recant then, they were condemned to die at the stake on 6 August 1552. Hendrik confessed that he had not been baptized, but was "ready for it." Their property was confiscated. On the same day all in the group met their deaths at the stake.

Actress Mila Kunis agreed to go on a date with a nervous British reporter after he charmed her by chatting about beer and soccer in an unconventional interview.
The brunette beauty sat down to discuss her latest movie Oz the Great and Powerful with BBC Radio 1's Chris Stark in London on Monday (04Mar13), and appeared amused when he admitted he was "petrified" to talk to a celebrity, confessing, "I've never done this before!"
The 25 year old proceeded to ramble on about his favorite pub and soccer team, prompting the actress, who is dating Ashton Kutcher, to delcare, "This is the best interview I've had today!"
Stark invited Kunis to watch his team Watford Football Club and tuck into a chicken lunch at fast food joint Nandos in the clip, which has since gone viral.

WCCS BUDGET: Figures up, but caution urged
COLUMBIA CITY — Colors can convey the story.Whitley County Consolidated Schools Business Manager Tony Zickgraf updated the board of trustees on what the budget numbers would like for the 2013-14 school year. His handout was on yellow paper, and he said it reflected the mood of the money."We are in a very cautionary mode," he said. "If we spend our entire allocation we could end up spending some of our cash balance."Estimated numbers for 2013-14 show a total budget of $22,405,349; up from $21,935,019 for this year. Budgets are approved by the state, but Zickgraf said the district is not spending all they have been given for next year."We have been approved for $23,533,369," Zickgraf said. With unpredictability on the horizon, particularly fears of rising healthcare costs, Zickgraf said the district in this cautionary mode. The district is not spending its entire allocation because it is waiting to see how healthcare changes on the federal level will trickle down to WCCS.To read the rest of this story, see the March 7 issue of The Post and Mail.

Delayed planting of wheat to avoid the kind of devastation dealt by a record April 11 freeze in 2007 to upper Southeast growers may come back to bite in the form of lower yields.
"The April 11 freeze taught us several lessons about wheat production in North Carolina, but delaying fall planting is not one of them," says North Carolina State University Wheat Specialist Randy Weisz.
Unfortunately drought prevented many growers from planting wheat on time. Others delayed planting to avoid spring freeze damage. The total affect is to have a lot of early, mid- and late-season wheat varieties all planted later than is recommended.
"In North Carolina, we are seeing a lot of wheat planted late, and in some cases replanted, that is far behind fields planted on time. Though we can do some things to manage this slow growth in the spring, the late-planted wheat will never catch up and never reach the yield level of the wheat planted on time," according to Weisz.
"In 2007 we saw some wheat with 50-60 percent of the tillers destroyed by the April 11 freeze. In adjacent fields we saw other wheat varieties virtually undamaged. The difference is maturity date or heading date," Weisz says.
Early heading varieties typically come out around April 4-6. Late season varieties typically come out later in April. In general, the late-maturing varieties escaped damage from the April 11 freeze. Of the 10 top-yielding varieties in 2007, only Southern States 8308, USG 3910 and Vigoro Dominion were mid-to early-maturing varieties.
The most popular and most consistent high-yield varieties in the upper Southeast have been early to mid-maturing. However in 2006-2007, these were among the lowest yielding varieties — because of the high level of freeze damage on April 11.
Among the varieties hardest hit by the freeze were Southern States 520, Panola and USG 3209, which are among the most heavily used varieties in North Carolina and Virginia.
By comparison in the 2006/2007 season, the highest yielding wheat varieties were in the late-maturing group. These include Coker 9436, NC Neuse, Pioneer 26R-12 and Southern States 8302.
"I've talked to a number of growers who say, 'what if we don't have a freeze — I know I can make good yields with these early to mid-maturing varieties'. That's a big risk that farmers don't have to take. A better approach is to plant at least three varieties, with at least one of these being in the late-maturing category," Weisz says. "Don't plant more than 30 percent of your crop to early-heading varieties," he adds.
The North Carolina State specialist says it's a good idea to plant the early-maturing varieties late or last. Early-maturing varieties are the most susceptible to planting date. By planting these varieties early, that variety is set up for more freeze damage. Late-maturing varieties, by comparison, need to be planted early to take advantage of warm fall weather to make maximum tillers, he explains.
Drought and fear of freeze damage has left many thin wheat stands in the upper Southeast, which results in reduced tillering. Growers with thin stands will need to apply nitrogen — in most cases 50-70 pounds per acre as early in 2008 as possible to help develop enough tillers to reach a decent yield.
The high cost of fertilizer is another good reason to plant wheat on time. By comparison, wheat planted on time will not need nitrogen until Growth Stage 30, and in most cases less nitrogen will be needed than in later planted wheat.
Weisz warns wheat growers to know the difference between thick and thin-tillering and to apply nitrogen accordingly. Applying nitrogen in January and February when it's not needed can increase lodging and freeze damage risks, disease problems and reduced yields.
Though some of the freeze risks for late-planted wheat can be overcome by adjusting fertilizer application rates and time, a much better way is to plant varieties with different maturity, or heading dates and to plant these based on time of maturity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman from California says she and her lesbian partner will attend the gay marriage argument at the Supreme Court, courtesy of her cousin, Chief Justice John Roberts.
Jean Podrasky says she and Roberts are first cousins, and that he knows she is gay.
Podrasky tells the Los Angeles Times that she will be in a seat reserved for guests of the justices when the court hears the highly anticipated case on California's ban on same-sex marriage.
In a separate open letter, Podrasky writes that Roberts is "a good man" and that she is confident he knows that a ruling "in favor of equality" is in line with the views of most Americans.
Podrasky was not immediately available to comment Monday. A court spokeswoman said Roberts had no comment.

Launched last week, Sky Shopping is a price comparison site displaying products from retailers including M&S, John Lewis and Comet.
There are already plenty of shopping comparison sites out there, so is this one any different?
The screenshot above shows how the homepage is supposed to look, but on my laptop, for whatever reason, I get this on all browsers, which doesn't look good.
I think this is due to the banner ad blocking on IE7 / Vista, but perhaps the designers should have tested the site on various browsers and operating systems to avoid this.
Elsewhere, the homepage doesn't promote the products on offer above the fold. So much space is taken up by the box promoting competitions and voucher codes that the visitor has to scroll down to see any products.
The top navigation menu isn't great from a usability perspective either; the text headings are too small, and the drop down menus could be a lot better.
Below the fold, the site does start to promote some of its top sellers and featured products, and the price finder is potentially useful.
Searching for products
The top navigation menu is not especially usable, and some of the product category labels are misleading. For instance, instead of labels like 'input devices' and 'hardware', why not provide links to 'PCs/laptops', and 'accessories'.
Once you click on a category, it doesn't get much better. Some of the options and links can be confusing. The arrows below next to the product categories make you think that a drop down list would appear when you click it, but instead it opens a new page.
For a site with so many products on offer, the filtering options on Sky Shopping are woefully inadequate, and enough to frustrate most online shoppers.
Looking for computers, I can't find a way to show only PCs, not laptops, so I am left with over 9,000 products listed:
The lack of any filtering options is truly shocking, and makes the product search virtually useless. Even once you get down to a list of laptops and sort by price, you still have 4,000+ products listed, and would have to go through at least 40 pages of accessories which have also been place in the same category.
It doesn't get any better if you know what it is you are looking for. Search for a 'Sony Vaio' for instance, and you have a list of 1,600 results with no distinction betwen Vaio laptops and accessories.
Considering the amount of decent websites around that offer more sophiscated product search options and filters, the fact that Sky Shopping has not bothered to provide even the most basic methods to refine searches is baffling.
This makes searching for anything on the site a potentially long and frustrating task.
It doesn't even do much of a job at price comparison either; once you select a product, related products in a similar price range are displayed, but you don't have the option of looking at the products and prices from different retailers, which is what comparison sites are supposed to do.
Sky Shopping will get a fair amount of traffic, just for being promoted on the Sky.com portal, but will need a lot of improvements to get people to use it regularly and keep returning.

"Let's hear your speech now, let's hear your speech," an emboldened onlooker barked. It was the morning of April 29, 1945; a reply was unlikely. The firing squad had done its job. Now, dumped off a truck like a waterlogged mattress into Milan's Piazzale Loreto, Benito Mussolini's dead body had been riddled with bullets all over again, stomped upon, spat at, cursed at and urinated on by a mass of his former subjects. One of its eyeballs was lacerated and swelling with fluid. Its cranium was cracked, its cerebellum crushed. Dislodged bone jackknifed through its sinus cavity and palate. And before it was strung up over a gas station by its fat feet, Sergio Luzzatto tells us, someone reached into the static center of that turbulent mob and laid Mussolini's sallow, bald head between the stiffening breasts of his mistress, splayed beside him. This, like everything done in the piazza that morning by Milan's fuming citizenry, betrayed one implacable assumption: that the sting of sarcasm would not be lost on a dead body.
Death has long occupied a special place in the publishing industry's staple crop of biographies: the end. But the rules of biographies are rapidly being stretched or tossed out entirely. Abstract ideas are now fair and compelling subjects, as in Charles Seife's Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea; so are inanimate objects, as in Holley Bishop's Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey. Luzzatto, a professor of history at the University of Turin, the author of four previous political histories and a regular commentator for Italy's two major daily newspapers, has breathed a new, peculiar life into the form by writing the biography of a corpse. The Body of Il Duce shows Mussolini as a man who, in becoming an inanimate object, also became an abstract idea. Death is only this story's beginning.
There has never been a shortage of dead bodies in the world. Yet Luzzatto couldn't have delivered what is presumably the first dead-body biography at a more suitable or more energetic moment in the cultural history of cadavers. Dead bodies have suddenly become the life of the party. It's a regular Weekend at Bernie's out there. Only a few months ago, America was grousing over the living corpse of Terri Schiavo and gushing over the Pope's still-tepid one. In the wake of Katrina, a lone cadaver on Union Street, neglected for days in an abandoned New Orleans, became an indictment of the Bush Administration. It's beginning to seem as though at the center of every shouting match and scandal lies a dead body–stock-still, neither assenting nor objecting.
Mussolini's body led an extraordinary afterlife, worthy of a biographer of Luzzatto's enthusiasm and skill. Born out of bullets, Il Duce's corpse was beaten, hung, buried, exhumed, stolen by neo-Fascists, hunted down, gossiped about, hidden for more than a decade by the Italian government, smuggled out of the convent of Cerro Maggiore in a box marked CHURCH DOCUMENTS and finally in 1957 reinterred–a string of misadventures and minor triumphs engineered, in every case, for someone's political advantage. His was the hardest-working corpse in Italy.
By 1945, when Mussolini's corpse hit that piazza, Italians were already fluent in the symbolic "language of bodies," writes Luzzatto. They had had an early education in the subject with the brutal assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, Mussolini's early Socialist rival, in 1924. Fascists beat Matteotti to death and, after sexually assaulting his corpse, unloaded it in the woods, where it lay undiscovered for two months. (Within days of Mussolini's execution, rumors spread that Matteotti's son had slipped into the ranks of the firing squad to avenge his father's death.) The popular memory of this body tainted Mussolini's reign, just as the dead body of Mussolini haunted Italy as the nation tried to reinvent itself after World War II.

Nutritional Analysis
Good eating habits start at home, but it's difficult to keep track of your child's eating habits as she becomes older. Show her how to analyze the caloric and nutritional value of her favorite meals. She may be surprised to find out how healthy—or not—her favorite foods actually are. This activity's sure to increase her awareness of her diet and provide a gateway to a healthier future.
What You Need:
- Favorite meal recipes
- Lined paper
- Pen or pencil
What You Do:
- Have your child list her favorite meals on a sheet of lined paper. They don't all have to be complete meals; she can also jot down her favorite side dishes and desserts.
- Next, have her take another piece of lined paper and divide it into three sections, lengthwise. Ask her to write the word "Ingredients" at the top of the first column,"Number of Calories" at the top of the second column, and "Nutritional Value" at the top of the final column.
- Now, invite her to choose one of her favorite meals and write it in the margin on the left hand side of her lined paper.
- Encourage her to write each ingredient in a bulleted list if it's a recipe from scratch. If it's a prepared box meal, such as macaroni and cheese, have her write just the basic ingredients, cheese, pasta, milk, and butter.
- Then, ask her to look up and record the number of calories in the second column across from each ingredient, based on serving size if made from scratch. Vegetables are extremely low in calories, so they don't need to be taken into account in this column. Fruits are a little higher in calories and amounts can be found via the internet. If it's a prepared meal, just have her write the total number of calories found on the back of the package. Remember: Most of the calories are based on small serving sizes, so try to take that into consideration.
- Finally, have her write down the other important nutritional values or facts from the packaging from each ingredient, such as minerals, vitamins, fat, etc.
- Invite her to repeat the above steps with all of her favorite foods and meals.
- Now, have her add the total number of calories per meal. Have her analyze each meal paying attention to the amount of calories, fat, vitamins, minerals, etc.
- Help your child come up with ideas to modify her meals if they are unhealthy in certain aspects, such as high in saturated fat. For example, packaged macaroni is high in calories and fat. Instead, you could use whole grain pasta, low-fat cheese, margarine, and add chopped zucchini and tomatoes. Another example is cheeseburgers; instead of beef burgers, you could substitute turkey (which has about half the fat and calories), low-fat cheese, a whole wheat bun, tomatoes, and romaine lettuce.
- Finally, have her write her new modified recipes in each column. Encourage her to compare and contrast the old and new recipes for calories, fat content, and other nutritional values.
- Try the new recipes together to promote a healthier lifestyle that will continue throughout adulthood!

Prior to joining the university faculty, Dr. Nelson received his B.S. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1983 and his medical degree from Northwestern University, where he was chief resident in urology from 1993 to 1994. Following surgical and urologic residencies at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University and a fellowship at the Brady Urological Institute, he became an assistant professor of urology and oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of urologic oncology at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
Dr. Nelson's clinical interests include prostate cancer and other urinary tract malignancies. He is one of the country's leading surgeons performing nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, an operation in which a cancerous prostate gland is removed but the nerves controlling erections are left in tact. Nelson also maintains an extensive research program to rapidly translate basic laboratory findings into clinical trials. Primarily, Dr. Nelson's research focuses on new ways to treat advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy.
In the mid 1990's, Dr. Nelson's laboratory identified the protein endothelin-1 in advanced prostate cancer and published evidence suggesting that this factor contributes to prostate cancer growth and spread to the bones, in addition to causing pain associated with bone metastasis. Subsequently, Nelson developed clinical protocols using an agent to block the activity of endothelin-1. While at Johns Hopkins University, the clinical trials involved men with advanced prostate cancer whose disease was androgen independent and thus resistant to mainstay, anti-hormone therapies. To date, results in treated patients show a decline in prostate specific antigen, a protein that at high levels is associated with prostate cancer activity, and a decrease in pain.
Dr. Nelson has gained considerable recognition for both his clinical work and research. He has been featured in several publications due to the great strides he has made in the treatment of prostate cancer and is the recipient of multiple awards. For four consecutive years, he received a research award from the CaPCURE Foundation, an organization established to fund promising research on prostate cancer. From 1994 to 1996, he was a Dornier Scholar with the American Foundation for Urologic Disease. In 1997, he was named Pfizer Scholar in Urology, and in 1999, he received a SBUR/Merck Young Investigator Award for his studies. In addition, Dr. Nelson also serves on the consulting editors board for the scientific journal Urology and is an ad hoc reviewer for several other medical publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine.
Currently, Dr. Nelson is a dedicated professor and chairman of the department of Urology. However, he is also active within clinical practice and remains involved in prostate cancer research. Through implementing such research into clinical trials, Dr. Nelson is continually striving to discover new methods of treating advanced prostate cancer.

"Currently THE DEBATE IS BEING SHAPED by creationists in the Islamic world. THE MOST PROMINENT ONE IS HARUN YAHYA IN TURKEY. And he links evolution with atheism and also with the West. Everything that is wrong with the West he ascribes that to the acceptance of evolution… Many of the participants that I have talked to in my lectures here [in Pakistan] they usually cite Harun Yahya's work."
Asked by the presenter "Is he influential?," Hameed replied:
"He has an enormous reach. In fact his books are widely available not only in the Muslim world, but also in the Muslim diaspora, for example in Europe, in England. His documentaries are shown on television everyday and recently he sent out this 850 page Atlas… HE HAS A TREMENDOUS INFLUENCE at present regarding evolution. THE MOST PROMINENT VOICE we have in the Islamic world is that of creationist Harun Yahya."

Leadfoots of the city, beware.
Beginning at 6 a.m. Wednesday, speed cameras at Gompers Park began issuing tickets for speeders, according to CBS Chicago.
The cameras have been installed at 4100 W. Foster Ave. and 5100 N. Pulaski Road since August but have, until now, only issued warnings, the Expired Meter notes. They will be in effect during the hours the park is open -- from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. and speed violators will still receive just one more warning before being fined.
Initially, $35 tickets will only be automatically issued to any drivers caught going more than 10 mph over the speed limit -- but before long, anyone caught going 6-10 mph over the limit should expect to receive a $35 ticket in the mail and drivers clocked at 11 mph or more will be fined $100.
Beyond Wednesday, speed cameras at McKinley Park, Marquette Park and Garfield Park are already in the midst of their 30-day warning period and tickets will soon be issued at those sites, ABC Chicago notes. Forty-six additional sites will also see cameras installed citywide in the months ahead.
The start of fines at Gompers Park comes just days on the heels of news, first reported by WBEZ last week, that the speed cameras appear poised to bring in far more revenue than the city has projected.
Nine speed cameras at the four parks where they are already installed caught 233,886 speeders between Aug. 26 and Oct. 9 alone. Had the cameras been issuing tickets, as they soon will be, they would have generated almost $13.9 million in citations over that month and a half alone.
The city noted, however, that the number of violators dropped dramatically -- by over 40 percent in just two weeks-- during the warning period, in line with the city's expectation for "behavior to change dramatically" as a result of the cameras being in place, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Startled, I woke up in the middle of the night between Sunday and Monday. I'm not sure what I had been dreaming about, but in a sleepy haze I awoke thinking about two things: this week's column and coping strategies.
More specifically, I was painfully aware that I still needed to write a column, and my dream must have been about dealing with something gone wrong, because the first few thoughts on my mind were how people deal with situations differently — how we all use different coping strategies.

State police roll out new low-profile cruisers
LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas State Police has deployed 24 new low-profile vehicles that are designed to blend in with ordinary traffic.
The agency showed off the vehicles at headquarters early Wednesday.
The new cares are equipped the same as a conventional patrol car — but come in different colors, do not have the roof-mounted bar light and are marked only on the passenger side with the State Police star and blue stripe.
Each of the 12 troops in the state get two of the vehicles.
A Highway Safety grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was used to purchase the newest cars along with the speed detection radars, emergency lighting and law enforcement communications equipment installed inside the vehicles.

When our old blower quit working, I decided to take my wife to a STIHL Dealer in Bryan, Texas to find a new blower. I wanted a lightweight, easy to start model. After our salesman showed us a few options, we chose the SH 56 Shredder Vac/Blower with a gutter cleaning kit. It was everything we were looking for in a blower, with a little extra! Now I can finally sit back and relax while my wife takes care of blowing off the porch, driveway, garage and gutter cleaning! Thanks again, STIHL. You've made my life easier!

This year I was deployed with the Alert Academy of Big Sandy, TX to go to Joplin, MO to help with tornado relief. In the woods, mixed in with the rubble that the tornado left everywhere, we found a STIHL BG 55 Handheld Blower, Serial Number 281997454. It was missing the blower screen and carburetor cover and filter, the outlet nozzle had been ripped off and the housing was cracked all over. Obviously it got caught in the F5 tornado and had gotten beat up pretty badly while airborne. Nonetheless, when it was brought to our deployment trailer, we fueled it up and it started on the third pull! Talk about STIHL strength!

I have a STIHL backpack blower and a small chain saw. I bought them at J & J Small Engine and I can honestly say I have never seen a product that can do such a GREAT job and stay in GREAT running condition at all times. The blower has helped lessen my workload because of its fast blowing power. I'm so pleased with my equipment.
- Mark B., Nebraska
When my old Ryobi blower finally gave out, it was time to shop around for a new gas leaf and debris blower. I finally settled on a blower from STIHL and was immediately impressed with the physical design of the blower. I was also extremely pleased with how easy it was to start! I am 62 years old and not as strong as I used to be. Because it's so simple for me to use, I don't hesitate to get out my blower and clean up the driveway and porch areas. I consider the blower by STIHL to be a durable and solid investment.

We need testers to play the Campaigns.
The videos (FMVs) are now available here: http://download.gna.org/warzone/videos/ ... es_ogg.zip
You unzip those into data/base directory.
To use those, you *must* use a nightly build of revision of at least 6119 or higher.
Those are available here: http://warzone.mortis.eu/nightly-builds/ or http://download.gna.org/warzone/snapshots/
*ALWAYS* use a debug build, like so: warzone2100_TRUNK-r6119-debug.exe (anything higher than 6119 is ok)
For 2.1 beta 5+ testing, FMVs do *NOT* work! That isn't a bug.
However, whichever version you pick, the same rules apply.
Don't use cheats (except for time compression, since 1x is a bit slow, but don't use anything higher than 3x)
Just play the game as you normally would.
I would suggest to save game at start of each mission, (or end of each mission). Name them something that makes sense, like level_name_save1 (or whatever).
If/when you fill up all savegame slots, then I would suggest you archive the whole savegame folder, and once that is done, just remove everything in the savegame folder.
If you crash, then copy the stdout.txt & stderr.txt (which is in the same location as warzone2100.exe) and attach them to your bug report(s). Also the crash dump file.
If you can repeat it, then also attach a savegame file (which needs savegamename.* (.gam, .es) and everything in the savagamgename directory)
Also, please list what system you are using (OS, gfx card...), post screen shots (F10 key!) of issues, and be as descriptive as possible when listing bugs.
And finally, list the version of the game you are playing. (2.1 beta 5, or r6119 (or whatever))
Note, if you have a bug, & it happens every time, then please list the steps to reproduce it. If we can't reproduce it, we can't fix it.

Exploring Circumference
Lesson 5 of 19
Objective: SWBAT: • Measure an object to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. • Identify and find the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle. • Explain pi in your own words. • Explain the formula for circumference and why it works.
Big Idea: What is pi, anyway? Students explore the relationship between circumference and diameter by measuring a variety of circles and use it to derive the formula for circumference.
Do Now
- I created this lesson so that students can discover the relationship between a circle's diameter and circumference. In my state, sixth grade students need to be able to work with circles and calculate their circumference and area.
- Some students may already be familiar with the formula for circumference, but they probably don't understand where it comes from. I want students to understand these relationships so that they can come up with the formula for circumference on their own. I hope that this will help students to remember the formula and apply it correctly.
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Here, I want students to spend a couple minutes jotting down what they know and want to know about circles. I ask students to share their knowledge and ideas with the class.
Brain Pop Video: Circles
Circles Video: http://www.brainpop.com/math/geometryandmeasurement/circles/
I pause the video so that students can fill in their notes. I do not show the entire video! Students will be deriving the circumference formula later in the lesson, so I stop the video at 1:23 after Tim shares that the circumference is the perimeter of a circle, or the distance around it.
Resources (1)
Now that students have been exposed to the definitions of radius and diameter, I want them to practice knowing one and finding the other. A common mistake is that students confuse diameter with radius and vice versa. It helps students to draw what is given first, and then figure out the missing information.
Resources (1)
Exploring Circumference
I have a volunteer read the directions. I go over group expectations and what to do when they finish measuring an item. I stress the importance of accurately measuring the items. I suggest that group members check each other's measurements to ensure accuracy. Students will be engaging in MP6: Attend to precision and MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
For this activity, I let the students choose their groups of 3-4. I give them 30 seconds to pick their groups and sit down. If they cannot handle that, then I will have students count off and sit down. I have volunteers pass out materials and Group Work Rubric to each group.
While students are working, I walk around and monitor student progress and behavior. When a group has measured five objects, I check in with them briefly and then have them move on to the graph.
Some students may struggle to make connections on question 3. This is okay. I want students to work together to see what they can figure out. If a group asks for a calculator, I give them one to work with.
If a group completes the graph and questions, I ask them to explain what they noticed and their predictions for 3c and 3d. If there is still time, the group can measure extra items and then plot the new measurements on the graph.
With about seven minutes left, I stop groups and have them come together for a class discussion. I ask 2-3 volunteers from different groups to show their graphs under the document camera. I ask, "What did your group notice?" I want students to notice that the circumference of a circle is about 3 times bigger than a circle's diameter. I ask students to share their predictions to 3c and 3d and explain them.
Resources (4)
Brain Pop Video: Pi
Pi Video: http://www.brainpop.com/math/numbersandoperations/pi/
I pause the video so that students can fill in their notes. I do not show the entire video! Students will be deriving the circumference formula next, so I stop the video at 1:15 after Tim shares that pi is an irrational number.
If I have time, I go to http://avoision.com/experiments/pi10k to show students what pi "sounds like" as a musical sequence.
Resources (1)
This will serve as the Closure for the lesson. We go through these questions together as a class. I want students to be able to explain that pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference and its diameter. I have students Think Pair Share about what they think the formula for circumference of a circle is. Students are engaging in MP 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Then I have students use their formula to answer 1 and 2. For 1a, students can just put 8 times pi. Rather than using 3.14 to calculate the circumference, I just want them to estimate. If I have extra time, I give students problems with bigger (circumference of 150 cm) and smaller (diameter of 2.5 cm) measurements and have students make estimates of the diameter and circumference.
With the last few minutes of class I give a Ticket to Go for students to independently complete. I pass out the HW Exploring Circumference at the end of class.

Actress Jessica Alba helped throw a baby shower for a group of military moms on Tuesday (03Jun14).
The Sin City star hosted a party for over 30 members of Navy families stationed in San Diego, California ahead of their upcoming deployment.
Alba and her organization The Honest Company partnered with officials at Operation Shower, a charity which provides baby celebrations for service members.
Each family at the fete was given a month's supply of diapers and wipes from Alba's Honest Company, much to the delight of the moms and moms-to-be in attendance.
During the event, Alba explained, "Growing up in a military family and having many family members in the service, I saw first-hand how tough deployment is on families and the time apart is never easy for either party involved.
"I am so thrilled to join Operation Shower to reward these brave men and women as a small token of The Honest Company's appreciation for their service and their sacrifices to help protect our country."
Alba's father Mark was part of the Air Force and the family moved around Mississippi, Texas and California during his service.

Editor's note: This release was published in Wednesday's Tribune, prior to the news that Jonah had passed.
Sunday morning, the Niagara County SPCA met officers from Niagara Falls Police Department and removed three dogs from a residence on 12th Street in Niagara Falls. The dogs, male and female adults and a male puppy, were rushed to the Niagara County SPCA for immediate medical attention.
An 8-week-old Labrador retriever mix puppy was listed as in critical condition. Two of the three dogs are emaciated. Conditions inside the residence have been described as deplorable, according to Amy Lewis, shelter director.
Niagara Falls Police are seeking the whereabouts of the owner.
Anyone interested in contributing to the care of the rescued dogs, or the puppy who has been dubbed Jonah, pictured above, right, should visit the SPCA website at niagaraspca.org, where a special link has been set up for these donations.
Jonah is being closely monitored and kept on a heating pad. He's getting fluids and is on a special diet that requires him being fed every couple of hours, Lewis said.
"He should weigh between 10 and 12 pounds; he's 3 pounds," Lewis said of the golden brown colored puppy. "He's really lethargic; he really doesn't have the energy to do anything."
The adult female dog, Nellie, shown left, is at least 10 pounds underweight," Lewis added. The male has a good body weight, but his coat is dull and matted from living in his own excrement.
Lewis said the dogs at some point will likely be put up for adoption, but with a court case pending, plus the current health of the dogs, it may take a while.
Police had received calls concerning the welfare of the animals, which appeared to have been abandoned at the residence.
"This is really sad and there is no excuse for such neglect, especially when there are other avenues available to owners when they cannot care for their animals. He could have picked up the phone and contacted our shelter or a local rescue. Most shelters and rescues are full this time of year, but many will find the room if we are made aware of the severity of the situation," Lewis said.
Niagara Falls Police officer and SPCA board member Dave Bower said, "This is a clear case of neglect. The owner of these dogs failed to provide basic care, and he faces three counts of animal cruelty."
Meanwhile, the shelter already is dealing with overcrowding, despite a fee-waived adoption promotion for both dogs and cats that began June 26 and will continue until Wednesday, July 10.
Anyone who is witness to animal cruelty or neglect in Niagara County is urged to call 731-4368, ext. 307. If you have a complaint outside of SPCA investigation hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, call your local police department.

Sum and Difference Identities
Lesson 13 of 16
Objective: SWBAT apply the sum and difference identities to find the exact values of trigonometric ratios of angles that are not derived from special triangles.
Big Idea: The love story of Sinbad and Cosette helps students to remember and apply the sum and difference identities.
At the start of today's lesson, I ask students to work on simplifying the expression on page 2 of Sum and Difference Identities Flipchart. I intend for the problem to serve as review. The task requires students to review both the Negative Angle Identities and the Pythagorean Identities. I ask students to attempt the problem individually. I want to see how far students can get without assistance. I plan to ask a similar question on an assessment, so I would like to know who is able to recall their identities (or look in their trig book and apply the identities) so that I can plan for review.
Resources (2)
For today's lesson, I lead students through the Sum and Difference Identities by presenting notes using the document camera. I accessed these Notes: Sum and Difference Identities from www.emathinstruction.com. I like the outline and I love the homework assignments that go along with the notes. The homework assignments spiral back through concepts and present tasks in a way that requires students to think about a concept in multiple ways.
Teacher Note:
I am not posting answer keys to these resource. emathinstruction.com posts their curriculum for free, but their answer keys need to be purchased. See this link to purchase full answer keys: http://www.emathinstruction.com/id3.html (accessed April 8 2014)
I begin my presentation by asking students to recall the Pythagorean Identity. Although they may not realize it, my students already have the knowledge to solve exercise 1 by drawing triangles within the coordinate plane and determining their ratios using right triangle trigonometry. I remind my students that they know how to do solve the problem in this manner. However I want them to solve this problem differently by using the identities (MP1, MP2, MP7). I give my students about two minutes to work through the task. I expect some will get it, but some will not. Once I feel the students are losing momentum, I plan to show the class how to substitute into the identity and solve for cosine.
Before I start the second exercise, I will tell my students the story of Sinbad and Cosette (pages 3-5 on Flipchart). Typically, my students find the story funny and reference it throughout the rest of class. I think it provides a narrative anchor point for internalizing the trig identities. Hopefully, it will help them to better remember the Sum and Difference Identities.
Now, I will introduce the Sum and Difference Identities, using the Notes I guide students through Exercises #2, #3, and #4. When we reach Exercise 4 parts e and f, my students will be applying the Sum and Difference Formulas to evaluate these, not the Double Angle Formula! I do not cover the Double Angle Identities in my class class. Instead, I have students rewrite the problem as a sum of two angles.
Depending on how the lesson starts, I may present my students with a challenge: see if they can figure out how to do Exercise 2. I expect that some of my students will want to use a calculator. If they pursue this strategy, I will ask them to provide me with EXACT answers (requiring radical form). I expect that several of my students will be able to handle this challenge. If necessary, I may hint that,"It might be good to re-write the equation using special angles."

In true 'Bits n Bobs' fashion I will be running through each of the three bars below at a rate of knots :D I hope you can keep up! Be sure to share your thoughts on each!
Weetabix Oaty Bars Milk Chocolate

'Milk chocolate flavoured cereal bar, drizzled with milk chocolate'
You may recall me reviewing the white chocolate variant from the Oaty Bars range in my first 'Bits n Bobs' cereal bar round up. On offer here we had pretty much the same proposition, with a golden syrup noted oaty base topped with a fairly unsubstantial sprinkling of milk chocolate. In comparison to the flavourless white chocolate topping on the other variety, the milk chocolate did come through in the taste somewhat better, however it was still a way off providing a satisfying chocolate flavour hit. The size of the bar was again way too small to satisfy even the smallest of tummy rumbles. On the whole better, but still not worth seeking out.

Green & Black's Dark Chocolate Dipped Fruit & Nut Cereal Bar
Kcal 229 Fat 11.8g Fat(sats) 5.2g Carbs 26.7g
'Whole almonds with cherries and dried apricot, in a oat based cereal bar, dipped in 70% dark chocolate'
This without doubt is one of the best cereal bars I have ever had. I'm not generally crazy on the things anyway, but this stood out as product really packed full of variable flavours. The most prominent features in the taste were the tart cherries and buttery almonds, which really stood out from the sweet honey noted flavours of the oat base. Additionally the unsweetened cocoa flavours of the chocolate were also very forthcoming, and ensured that a swift chocolate flavour burst was present with each bite. The nutritional values may put some people off as they are hardly within the expectations of the average cereal bar consumer's limits, however I would really recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Green & Black's products. I rate more highly than a lot of their stand alone chocolates.

'Cappuccino and chocolate flavoured rolled oats'
So you saved the best until last right Jim? Err no not quite! This bar caught my eye in my local Holland & Barrett store, and came with the promise of keeping me feeling fuller for longer. Now I can't deny that this bar had the potential to leaving my hunger feel satisfied for longer than the average chocolate or cereal bar, but in order for this to be a reality it would of had to have made me want to eat it. Unfortunately this just wasn't the case! This bar was nothing more than a bland, tasteless slab of rolled oats, with no hint of coffee or chocolate detectable at any point. To put it in to context I had to do the awful thing of checking the back of the wrapper after the first bite to see if it was still in date ... it was by nearly 6 months!! This bar just tasted awful, and I threw most of it in the bin. AVOID!!

So there we have it! Three more whistle stop reviews of some of the cereal bars we have on the UK market. If you have any requests for ones you want to see in part 3, be sure to drop me a note. It would be great to hear from anyone else who has tried one of these bars ... did you think the G&B bar was as good as I did? Is the ADOR bar as bad as I am making out?
