"Did that really just happen?"
Centennial girls' soccer coach Ginger Flohaug asked herself that question in disbelief after her second-ranked and previously undefeated team suffered a 1-0 upset loss in a wild shootout against Mounds View in Tuesday's Class 2A, Section 5 championship game.
Scoreless through regulation and two overtimes, the teams went to penalty kicks. And it took thirty-two (yes, 32) attempts to produce a winner, leaving anyone who saw the game sharing Flohaug's sentiments.
Penalty kicks are designed to be a best-of five but each team only netted three goals. Centennial got the last attempt and Mounds View coach Sharon Swallen anticipated the worst.
"In that situation, you usually don't come out with a win," Swallen said.
But Tuesday's game was anything but conventional.
From there, it was one-and-done. Mounds View shot first, giving Centennial an opportunity to tie (thereby extending the shootout) or win.
What followed was great, gut wrenching theater. Six players on each team attempted two kicks. Players on each team begged their coaches not to call on them. Each starting goaltender made diving saves and also took a turn as shooters. A Mounds View player hit the crossbar. A Centennial player hit the post. Three players missed the net entirely.
Centennial missed chances to win with its 10th, 12th, 14th and 20th attempts. Attempt No. 20 was the closet of all. But starting goaltender Angie Toepper, who practices taking penalty kicks in practice, hit the pipe.
Then a different kind of pressure shifted to Centennial: survival. Toepper's miss was followed by a string of 11 consecutive goals. Each time Mounds View scored, the Cougars had to answer.
Mounds View's Alex Ronchak scored the final goal of that stretch. She scored twice in the shootout but needed prodding to attempt her second shot.
"She said, 'I can't do this again,'" Swallen said. "We told her, 'We need you. We believe in you.'"
Ronchak scored, forcing Centennial to answer on attempt No. 32.
"Each time we scored we said, 'That's the one. Now Natalie [Stoltz] is going to make the save,'" said Swallen, who coached Mounds View to a shootout victory in the 2001 section semifinals against Irondale that saw a total of 14 players attempt penalty kicks.
Stoltz, playing in her first shootout at any level of soccer, dived to her left and punched away a shot from Centennial senior co-captain Megan Helberg to secure a victory for the ages.
"This has to go down as one of our best section final victories," Swallen said. "When we talk about this game in the future, we'll be able to smile."
Not so for Centennial. The Cougars created more quality scoring chances during the game but Swallen's pack-it-in game plan kept them off the scoreboard.
"I think a lot of people saw that the better team didn't win," Flohaug said. "I give credit to Mounds View for playing defense and hoping we didn't score."
Flohaug told her kids to be proud and implored them to come to school on Wednesday.
"It's hard but not coming to school means you're embarrassed and the girls have nothing to be embarrassed about," Flohaug said. "We were the only Class 2A team to have an unbeaten, untied regular-season record. They should be proud of that."

Feeder Service 240 serves residential neighbourhoods and schools around Boon Lay Gardens and Taman Jurong with connections to Jurong West Town Centre and Lakeside MRT station (more specifically, Jurong West Neighbourhoods 1, 2 and 3). At 15.4km in length, it is notably long for a feeder service.
By skipping Boon Lay Gardens in both directions, Service 30 is a more popular connection between Corporation Drive and Boon Lay Interchange. During Eves of Public Holidays, last bus timings are extended to 1:15am to complement the extension of train operating hours.
In 2014, a Peak Period Short Service (PPSS) variant of this route, Service 240P, was introduced. Operating between Lakeside MRT and Jurong West Town Centre, the route relieved demand off Service 240. The service was renumbered to Service 240M from 1 Sep 2016 as part of Changes to PPSS in Sep 2016.

An 18-year-old Aurora man already facing charges for the overdose-related death of an Elburn teen was arrested early Thursday in Aurora on drug charges.
Aurora police charged Jordan Billek with possession of a controlled substance and possession of a hypodermic syringe following a traffic stop about 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Ohio and Rural streets.
During a search of his car, police found a substance that tested positive for opiates, Lt. Paul Nelson of the Aurora Police Department said Thursday. Bail was set at $3,000 for Billek in Kane County court Thursday.

Law & Order Really, Really Dead
"It's moved into the history books."
It's really, really over: Dick Wolf just told TV critics that there's no chance of a revival for Law & Order — on NBC, AMC, or anywhere else. "It's moved into the history books," he said. But turn that frown upside down, ka-chungsters! Rene Balcer, the exec producer of LOLA (yes, it looks like we're really calling it that), is currently onstage saying L.A. may actually be a more interesting location for an L&O show. "You could argue that New York has been mined of ideas," he said.

Q: Does the world really need another Diablo 2 mod?
Bad news first. This mod won second place in the category 'old school classics' of the ModDB Editor's Choice awards. This is intolerable and needs to be corrected as soon as possible. Next year, I have to make first place.
Median 2008 1.47 has been released!
It is a fairly small patch, hot on the heels of the mega-patch 1.46, which corrected most of the outstanding issues with Median 2008, especially in terms of skill and item balance, and added 3 new 'uberskills' per character class - but you can only pick one. Choose wisely. It also introduced 21 sets, findably only in specific high level areas, and populated some side areas with powerful and deadly monsters on Terror and Destruction difficulty.
1.47 adds a new uberquest, Rathma Square, the old necromancer's neighbourhood in Kurast and the second hardest uberquest currently in the game.

Yes I know, the title is a bit misleading! But its all fun and games as long as nobody gets hurt – right?
All jokes aside, you've heard the expression that many roads lead to Rome. Well, its the same in the world of business… There isn't just one way to do things, there are many. What you have to debate with yourself is, which style suits you best and why. Actually the why is very important because you need a clear understanding of yourself before you can do anything right.
I want to discuss two distinct styles of business, which have both proven their value to me over the years. I've seen many examples and personally I'm leaning towards the soft approach but I'm more of a chameleon, depending on what is required of me in the moment. It's a bit like being ambidextrous – you can do it but it takes a lot of training. But don't let me leave you in the dark here if you haven't guessed it! What I'm talking about is your entrepreneurial style:
If you choose the hard approach, you will need to be just that – hard. Depending on your character, it can come naturally to you or it can be very energy consuming (draining). If you are not a hard person by nature but feel the need to portray yourself that way to gain respect from peers and subordinates, you will need to have a good source of energy to keep it up. If you go against your own grain you may well be exhausting yourself for no good reason. The hard approach is more common because that's what people generally expect and how they perceive successful entrepreneurs. You've heard someone say "oh yeah, he's a good businessman, a real tough negotiator" or "sure, he gets things done, he's a hard ass". Hard people are generally loud and bossy and they will try to bully others into doing things their way. Since mankind is mostly made up of sheep (yes I'm not sugarcoating anything here), this method does work well in many cases. Personally I'm not a big fan of this approach for my own way of conducting business because in all honesty it will only get you so far, but I recognise the need for this type of leadership or approach and I employ it at times, whenever I can I do it by proxy through some who owns it or who is born to do things this way. In essence, if you need the sheep to be killed, send in a wolf.
If you choose the soft approach it's a real paradox because you will be portraying yourself as a soft, diplomatic, easy going person who is nice and understanding all the time but you will have to make your mark in other ways for people to respect you. You will need to let actions speak louder than words and you need to make sure that your kindness is not mistaken for weakness. You should never loose your cool… Can you do that?
A wise old man once told me: if you want people to listen to what you have to say, you don't have to shout at them, you need to whisper…
I like the soft approach because people will be less defensive, let their guard down and give you a chance to whisper sweet stories in their ear and if you whisper just right, they will do exactly what you want them to do and they will think its their idea – its just like magic.
One thing you must avoid at all cost is switching styles within your own organisation, because by doing so you will confuse people and remove their grip on what to expect. In any enterprise, you need to have constants and variables but leadership must never be a variable.
Here's a little story that has nothing to do with this topic, but rather with entrepreneurship itself. Two shoemakers go to Africa. When they get there, one of them says "hey, they don't wear any shoes here! I'm going home". The other one answers "well, that's exactly the point!".

Checked out Ashes and Diamonds (Popiół i diament) and seeing it again realize what poetic cinematography and direction have done with excellent material. It is some on my top 20 or so films. Zbigniew Cybulski is in top form in his first major film role.
Side note: the film is full of cultural references that those outside of Mitteleuropa wouldn't get, example: the new commissioner drinks his tea from his saucer to cool it, that's a Russian habit.

There's little debate about UFC middleweight Anderson Silva's starpower or the consideration he receives as one of the greatest fighters to ever enter the Octagon. However, without the contributions of a select few, it's likely that only a small collective of hardcore fans would even know who Silva is.
One of the men helping lay the groundwork for Silva's ascension to greatness is the very individual "The Spider" will face next weekend – Stephan Bonnar. Though Bonnar has never worn UFC gold or come close to sniffing a title-shot, he was part of the most important fight in the organization's history, as his bout with Forrest Griffin on the Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale brought more attention to the product than had ever been the case before. The match-up is seen as the catalyst leading to the UFC's current success and one Silva surely hasn't forgotten.
"You have to respect Stephan Bonnar. He is the reason why MMA and the UFC are where they are today. He has done a lot for the sport. He has to be respected and given a lot of credit," said Silva in an interview with the UFC.
Though Silva may appreciate Bonnar's efforts, agreeing to action against him in the ring had little to do with admiration.
"It was a request from Dana to come in and save UFC 153. It was an opportunity to give back to all the Brazilian fans for what they did to support me in my last fight," explained Silva, pointing to a few other factors related to his willingness to step up on short notice. "I believe I have more agility, more speed at this weight. I don't know about the power but I do believe I am more agile. Due to the short amount of time to train, it is easier to make 205 rather than to try to cut down to 185."
Bonnar-Silva are scheduled to headline the October 13 lineup, slated to take place in Rio de Janeiro. Bonnar will enter the bout on a three-fight winning streak, while Silva is seeking his sixteenth straight instance of success since signing with the UFC.

- Court: Intellectual Property Archives
- Area(s) of Law: Copyright
- Date Filed: 04-30-2012
- Case #: 08 civ. 5791
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Katherine B. Forrest, United States District Judge
Opinion (Forrest): Peggy Harley (Harley) brought suit against Ann Nesby (Nesby), alleging that Nesby's song "I Apologize" infringed Harley's song "It Will Never Happen Again." In 2006, Harley met with Vaughn Harper, and gave him a press kit containing five copies of the infringed song. Nesby did not deny that Harper then gave a copy to Nesby. Nesby wrote "I Apologize" in 2007. After listening to the songs, the Court found that the songs had substantially similar lyrics, and a strong thematic likeness. Finding both access and substantial similarity, the court GRANTED Harley's motion for summary judgment.

But that's what will happen if the federal government imposes duties of up to 50 percent on Canadian newsprint, upon which American newspaper companies rely.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and Congress if necessary, owe it to the free flow of print news and the thousands of jobs threatened by this proposed tariff to say "no."
A single business, the North Pacific Paper Co., or NORPAC, is championing the duties, petitioning the U.S. Commerce Department to adopt the tariff.
The Commerce Department is slated to make a preliminary decision on the matter by Jan. 8.
Ross and his department should listen to the overtures of The News Media Alliance, National Newspaper Association and a bipartisan coalition of congressional members who oppose the duties on Canadian paper used to publish American newspapers.
Congressional opponents of the duties rightly have concluded they would threaten an industry of 175,000 jobs and would "further damage the printed news industry in the United States, which has seen a more than 50 percent decline in advertising revenue over the last 10 years."
How the federal government reacts to the request from this one Washington State paper mill holds importance to more than just the newspaper industry
Exacting duties based on the whim of one interest is a dangerous precedent to set for a nation that should be encouraging industries to thrive on the principle of greater good.
By that litmus test, an imposition of duties on Canadian newsprint fails miserably.
Duties of up to 50 percent would threaten jobs, drive up printing costs and force increases in consumer costs — all of which ultimately hamper the free flow of information in a trusted news medium.
We ask our congressional leaders — and loyal readers — to rise with us against these harmful, unfair tariffs that fly in the face of so many interests.

- St Paul's maintain winning record by downing Hartpury
- "We just weren't clinical enough" – Hartpury skipper Joe Batley
St Paul's Catholic College brought Hartpury's four-year unbeaten run in AASE competition to an end this week with a superb 24-16 over the Gloucester Rugby-affiliated outfit at Sunbury on Wednesday evening.
Though Hartpury's powerful pack helped them to control the first quarter in terms of territory and possession, only some desperate defending keeping them out.
With the game drifting towards half-time, an electric run by Harry Lightfoot-Brown almost resulted in a try for St Paul's – play being brought back for a forward pass close to the line.
But the hosts kept the pressure on, and scrum half Connor Murphy and burrowed over from close range after Hartpury had infringed.
St.Paul's second try was a piece of individual genius. Elusive wing Cameron Cowell spotted a gap between two defenders, and gathered his own grubber kick to canter under the posts for a crucial score. Although a Cai Little penalty kept the visitors in touch, Hartpury went into the break somewhat shell-shocked.
Murphy and Little exchanged a few penalties in the second half, but the decisive moment came when St Paul's hooker Ollie Adams crashed over after a strongly driven maul by the home side.
Little scored a late consolation try for Hartpury but St Paul's were not to be denied.
Afterwards, Hartpury skipper Joe Batley rued his team's inability to captialise on their early pressure.
"We just weren't clinical enough," he said. "We should have got some points on the board in those first ten minutes. As the game went on, they got more hungry for it and we died off."
Ryan Bifield of St Paul's added: "They brought everything we expected and more – they're a great side. They've gone 40-odd games without losing, so to beat them feels amazing."
There were two more epic encounters in the southern league on Wednesday. First, Truro College scored a try after 16 phases through Harrison Cully to beat Filton College 14-10 on the final play of the game.
Truro's head of rugby Marek Churcher said: "We played into the wind in the first half, and although we were losing 10-0 at half time, I thought it was a small victory going into the second half with the wind behind us. We really upped the intensity from there."
In the final Southern league game, Henley held off a late surge from Ivybridge to win their first game of the season 24-22. They scored four tries through Craig Parker, Jackson Burton, Jack Willis and Noah Jarvis.
Henley head coach Danny Batty reflected: "We're starting to take shape now and apart from the last quarter where our game management was poor, I was really pleased."
In the northern conference, two unbeaten sides – Gosforth and Prince Henry's – met in Northumbria. Prince Henry's proved to be too strong, running out 48-18 winners and scoring seven tries through Nick Rawsthorne, Max Wright, Sam Allan, Josh Bainbridge, Max Green, Tom Burridge and Dan Tai.
Head Coach Andy Rock said: "I'm happy that the boys overcame a difficult period at the start against a determined Gosforth side and eventually put together some very good passages of play.
"There are various bits to improve but it was exciting to see how much pace the lads played with and the back line really did look dangerous in attack."
Myerscough won their second game in a row on Wednesday, following up last week's win over Moulton an impressive 29-13 win against AASE League against last season's finalists Oaklands. Flanker Adam McCarthy scoring a hat trick along the way.
In the final Northern League fixture, the two sides yet to register a win, Moulton and Worcester Sixth Form College, met for a game that saw the Northampton side run out 32-10 winners.

Thirty of Paul "Bear" Bryant's former University of Kentucky football players gathered this weekend at The Campbell House for their annual reunion to slap backs, catch up with friends, tell stories and do the expected general reminiscing about their old college days.
Bear's Boys.
"We're getting up there," said Ed Hamilton, who played during the 1949-51 seasons and scored a touchdown in the 1952 Cotton Bowl. "Not many of us left."
But with this being Father's Day, thought it might be a good time to inquire just what sort of father figure Paul Bryant was back when he was leading Kentucky to 60 wins and three New Year's Day bowl games from 1946 through 1953.
"He was a lot stricter than your dad," said Neil Lowry. "I can tell you that."
"I don't know that I could talk to him like you could talk to your father," said Bob Fry, an offensive lineman who went on to play 12 years in the pros. "He was more of a 'No, sir. Yes, sir,' guy."
"He was more like Zeus," Bill Evans said with a laugh.
"When he came down on off that tower, you would just cower," said Chuck Bell. "Because you thought he might be coming after you."
"Absolutely, he was a father to me," said Babe Parilli, the star quarterback who now lives in Denver, just had his knee replaced and claims it's the best thing he's ever done. "He was a father to all of us."
And, in his way, Bryant was that, a father away from home to a group of boys, many of them just out of the service, many of them with no money, a long way from home.
"I'll give you an example," said Lowry. "I was a sophomore and had been redshirted. I hadn't even played yet. And he was the one that told me that my mother died. She was just 47, so it wasn't expected. I had no money. But he bought me a train ticket home. It was illegal, but he didn't care. He did that for me. And I was nothing."
"You have to remember, he was a young coach at the time, 37 or 38 years old, and he would, well, he was a great demonstrator," said Hamilton. "Sometimes he might knock you over himself. He was always good to those who gave their utmost.
"And when you got through your senior year, he'd invite you over to the house for cookouts. He found jobs for all of us. He showed you more of that after you finished playing."
"For me personally, he was akin to God," said Ed Burnett, who came from Alabama to play for Bryant in the late '40s. "I have learned to appreciate him more as I have aged in years. He taught me how discipline is in your life."
And dedication. And hard work. Even now, Bear's Boys remember how focused Bryant was, how he was willing to work harder than anyone else and have his players work harder than any other team.
"I lived with him and his family when I got hurt," said Parilli. "To tell you the truth, and I think he'd tell you this, he was so involved with his team he could have been a better father to them. We were his family."
But would his methods work today?
"No," said Parrilli. "And he knew that. I coached with him for a spring at Texas A&M, and he was not the same coach at Alabama. He adapted. Back then, it was about intimidation. I coached. And today it's more about communication."
"No," answered Burnett. "The children of today didn't come out of the Depression like we did. We understood that 'No' meant 'no.' No questions asked."
"He would adjust, and he would (succeed today)," said Evans. "I remember someone one time asked about somebody being charismatic. It was around the time people first started using that word. (Bryant) had charisma. He was charismatic."
"Bryant had a way of telling his players they had the ability to succeed," said Burnett. "And we did succeed."

How To Fix The Common FIFA 16 Problems
The FIFA 16 release date delivered access to the much improved FIFA game on consoles and PC, with a lot of exciting new features and upgrades, but there are a collection of FIFA 16 problems frustrating gamers who simply want to play the new FIFA game.
Slow FIFA 16 Downloads
Over the last two days we've seen horribly slow FIFA 16 downloads for users who purchased the game digitally on Xbox One and PS4. Some users reported FIFA 16 downloads of over eight hours.
If you have problems with a slow download you can try to restart your modem, router and PS4 to see if this speeds it up. Another solution is to connect to your router with an Ethernet cable, which can dramatically speed up game downloads.
Unfortunately we've noticed very long download times for PS4 and Xbox One games over the last several weeks, so these steps may not get you much faster downloads.
FIFA 16 Installation Errors
We are seeing scattered reports of FIFA 16 installation errors. If you run into a FIFA 16 install error when you attempt to download and install the game or the required updates there are some things you can try.
The first step is to restart the console and try to install FIFA 16 again. For many users this will fix the problem.
On PS4, go to Settings -> PSN -> Restore Licenses. This should fix the problem for most users.
On Xbox One you might need to delete the installation and start over. Here is a walkthrough on how to fix this Xbox One game install problem.
If you are installing FIFA 16 from a disk and the installation is stuck at 0% or near it, you will need to put your console offline, cancel the download, restart your Xbox One and then try again.
FIFA 16 Startup Error on Xbox One
There is a FIFA 16 problem on Xbox One that prevents users from playing. The Xbox One FIFA 16 startup error happens to players who are using energy-saving power mode. If you see this problem on your Xbox here is what you need to do.
Uninstall FIFA 16 from the Xbox One.
Re-Download from the Xbox Store.
That should fix your FIFA 16 problem, but it may take a while to download.
Invalid FIFA 16 Codes
If you are having trouble redeeming your FIFA 16 codes there are some steps you can take to try to solve this problem on your own.
EA recommends trying the code a second time to make sure you typed it correctly. If that doesn't work. turn your console off completely, not just in rest mode, and then try it again after a full reboot.
If you still have problems redeeming your FIFA 16 pre-order codes, you can post in the EA forums or contact EA support, where someone will help you get a code that works.
FIFA 16 Club Name Errors
When you try to make a club name in FIFA 16 you may see this error:
"Your club name or abbreviation contains a censored word, please rename your club."
EA shares, "New FUT users are receiving a censored word error message when they try to create a FUT Club name. FUT Club names that should not be blocked are still receiving this error message. We are working to resolve this issue."
You can try to make the name in the Web App on a computer to make a name. This worked for many users, but not all.
Join us for a fast look at common FIFA 16 problems and when possible the fixes for these problems that you can do right now to get back to playing. At last, I need to emphasize that fifa16mall.com always provides Cheap FIFA Coins. If you have any demands, Please contact with us.

Dag Nasty – You're Mine lyrics
The last time I spoke to you
I was seconds away
From losing my face
But I'm much closer now, we're so much closer now
And I haven't stopped laughing since I
Learned to laugh at myself
When I fall down, and I'm much farther down
We're so much closer now that
You're mine
To have and to hold until the end of time
You're mine, you're mine

Road update for Sequoia Kings
Work on the Generals Highway Construction Project in Sequoia National Park will be ramping up in the coming weeks. This project began in mid-June and will be underway for two construction seasons. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is reconstructing a segment of the Generals Highway between Amphitheater Point Overlook and Crystal Cave Road (Deer Ridge to Eleven Range).
Beginning Friday, June 30, parking will be limited at the Potwisha trail head parking lot. Fencing will go up and take up to 70% of the parking lot. Restroom and trail access will remain open.
Starting July 5, vehicles 22 feet or longer will be prohibited between Hospital Rock and Giant Forest Museum in Sequoia National Park. During construction, the FHWA will close one lane of the highway by use of K rail. This will cause the highway to be narrowed, and unable to safely accommodate vehicles over 22 feet. The highway closure is being extended to the nearest turn around locations for vehicles of that size to the south at Hospital Rock and north at Giant Forest Museum. Hwy 180, the northern entrance to these parks, is the preferred route for these longer vehicles.
Monday, July 10 will be the start of night closures on the Generals Highway in Sequoia National Park. The road will be closed from Amphitheater Point Overlook to Crystal Cave Road (Deer Ridge to Eleven Range) from 9 pm to 5 am, with only one pass-through at 11:30 pm.
Tuesday, July 11 will have an extended foot print for the night road closure. The road will be closed from Hospital Rock to Crystal Cave Road.
There will be no road work on July 4th weekend starting 5:00 pm Friday until 7:00 am Wednesday.
Monday- Friday: 5 am to 7 am (20-minute delays)
Monday- Thursday: 7 am-8 pm (1-hour delays)
Expect delays of up to 1 hour. Traffic passes through the construction zone at the beginning of each hour. Uphill traffic passes first, followed by downhill traffic. Plan on arriving about ten minutes before each hour.
Monday-Thursday: 9 pm to 5 am
Road closed except for one pass-through at 11:30 pm, uphill traffic first.
Friday: 7 am to 5 pm (1-hour delays)
Expect delays of up to 1 hour. Traffic passes through the construction zone at the beginning of each hour. Uphill traffic passes first, followed by downhill traffic. Plan on arriving about ten minutes before each hour.
Weekends (Possible 20-minute delays)
No delays when both lanes are open. When highway is limited to one lane, expect delays up to 20 minutes. Traffic lights will control traffic, uphill traffic first.
Project Details
To date, reconstruction has been completed between the south park entrance (at Hwy 198) and Deer Ridge. The portion of the Generals Highway Construction Project beginning in 2017 will be completed in 2 phases:
Phase 1 consists of approximately 1 mile of the Generals Highway from Deer Ridge to Eleven Range Overlook (between Amphitheater Point Overlook and Crystal Cave Road). The work is extensive: reconstruct the road to widen narrow sections, construct new or rehabilitate existing retaining walls, improve drainage, construct new pullouts, and make other improvements.
Phase 2 includes repaving Wolverton Road from its intersection with the Generals Highway to the Wolverton Picnic Area and Trailhead parking lot. The entire project will require two construction seasons (2017 and 2018) to complete.
The intent of the Generals Highway Construction Project is to correct structural and drainage deficiencies that could lead to major road failure and that jeopardize the integrity of the road and safety of visitors. In addition, the proposed improvements are intended to provide a pleasant driving experience, improve traffic flow, facilitate maintenance operations, and reduce maintenance costs.

North and South Korea exchange fireAugust 10th, 2011 - 6:04 pm ICT by IANS
Seoul, Aug 10 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Artillery shells fired from North Korea Wednesday landed near the disputed sea border with South Korea. In response, South Korea's military also fired artillery shells towards the North, Yonhap news agency reported.
A South Korean defence ministry official said the rounds fired by North Korea landed off the Yeonpyeong Island. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
South Korea's YTN TV said the incident was provoked by military exercises being held by North Korea near the volatile Yellow Sea border.
North Korea had shelled Yeonpyeong in November last year, killing four people, just a few months after the sinking of a South Korean warship.
The two countries, who technically remain at war following the 1950-53 Korean War, have agreed to return to six-party talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear programme.

Hi Alasdair, thank you for making the time to talk with us today and congratulations on the ongoing successes of your business iDelivery Solutions Group! What have been the biggest challenges so far in starting up your own business and how have you overcame them?
As a company we are in the start-up world and as everyone knows, the next five years will be a pretty good measure on how successful our company will be.
One of our main challenges when we first started our business was trying to predict the future, which we have now learned, you can't!
Instead, we have adopted the philosophy that when the future presents itself, we are prepared to react. Sure, the world of tech changes continuously, but we have core principles that we firmly stay true to. As we grow, we are seeking talented and passionate consultants who are keen to work with our clients to enable them make intelligent use of people, processes and tools.
Why did you start up a business focusing on Technical Testing and DevOps solutions?
The reason why we wanted to start up a business focusing on Technical testing and DevOps was because of our combined expertise and skills. We identified we could work with clients to enable them to get to a better maturity level with regards to delivery and quality of service and, as a natural by-product, save money to enable an increase in spend in other critical areas of their business. Thus, essentially, enabling companies to launch without fail.
If you were to sum up the culture of iDelivery Solutions Group in 4 words, what would they be?
Progressive, Open, Passionate, Agile.
What's exciting you the most about where your business is going currently?
This is a difficult question as I am not sure where to start! There are so many things that are currently exciting me about our business and the direction in which it is headed!
This year we are launching our Academy which is designed to help onboard and train up graduates who are looking to get into tech, alongside that we are running programmes to help the ex-armed forces with IT experience come into our business and train up their skills.
Of course there is also our new offering iFlex that I am really excited about also! iFlex enables automated testing to become affordable and cost effective to organisations of any size, across all business sectors. It creates the opportunity for any sized organization to utilise highly advanced automated testing techniques that will in turn reduce risk, resource requirements and cost, as well as drive efficiency in systems delivery and build quality in to their applications using an automation first approach to testing
Also rather exciting for us, it is delivered from our new offices in the centre of Manchester!
A tech skills gap in the UK is consistently being reported upon; which skillsets are you struggling to hire experts in and what do you think can be done further to plug the UK's burgeoning skills gap in IT?
I believe it is up to organisations like ourselves to plug the skills gap in the UK. For example, we have introduced a graduate academy focusing on providing a strong platform for the next generation of tech skills as well as a number of programmes supporting ex forces personnel wanting to get back into the work environment.
We are absolutely committed to ensuring we give our consultants the right skill sets to help our clients' businesses succeed.
You have new offices opening in uber cool Spinningfields in Manchester city centre, soon. Manchester is increasingly described as a tech hub, what do you think are its strengths and its weaknesses?
We have had fantastic success in the last two years and are very excited about our new offices opening in Manchester! A high number of our management team is from the Manchester area, so we are thrilled to support the city's ongoing growth and development. Due to the success of the last two years we have been able to open offices in London, Budapest and South Africa, which only further strengthens our reach in EMEA and allows us to furthermore support our clients at ground-level.
What do you think are the 4 major no no's when it comes to recruiting Testing and DevOps professionals into any of your offices throughout the UK?
A major no no for us is hiring an individual who has no passion for the tech industry. We are collectively impassioned about how fast moving and innovative the world of tech is, and an individual who doesn't share that same enthusiasm is not the best cultural fit for us.
A low level of commercial acumen is a no no for me also. A solid level of commercial understanding equates to empathy for a client's business goals and objectives, and is as key for us culturally as their rock-star tech skills!
Another no no is someone who is not a team player. Each of us get involved and help out regularly on a number of activities and tasks to assist the overall business's objectives, and ensure our clients are satisfied. An individual averse to helping out on what they perceive to be over and beyond their job description, is not a great fit for us.
Personality is another key area for our business. We are a fast growing start- up, so a no no for me would be an individual who doesn't fully grasp the ethos of a start up! It can be hard work, but equally, it can reap some fantastic rewards on many levels. Someone who is flexible and willing to embrace innovation and opportunities is a yes yes for me!
If you were to describe your journey with iDelivery Solutions Group to date as a movie title, what would it be?
Gone in 60 seconds
Which traits are an essential cultural fit for you?
Positivity, creativity and enthusiastic
If you were to design an app for the greater good, what would it be?
I would build an app that takes the content from digital comms and 'translates' them to the recipient in the tone with which they were meant. I believe it would cut out all ambiguity and ill-conceived pretexts and, I think, make digital comms a far more straight forward exchange!

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- Officials with the Westchester County Department of Public Safety are scheduled on Monday , June 16, to give a presentation on the proposed police consolidation with Mount Kisco.
The meeting, which will involve the village Board of Trustees, is planned for 7 p.m. and will be held in the second-floor meeting room in Village Hall.
The county police department's presentation will include findings and an analysis, according to an announcement released by the village.
Mount Kisco and Westchester County officials have been in talks since late 2011 about a potential merger.
A consolidation, according to details recently provided by Mayor Michael Cindrich, would involve village police resigning and becoming county police. It would also involve a contract stipulating that the village gets a dedicated number of police officers. Space in Mount Kisco's police station would also be used by county police.
The estimated savings from joining with the county, Cindrich disclosed, would be about $2.4 million over five years, although he called the financial impact "cost-neutral." The mayor previously noted that more police would be on patrol.
Earlier this month, the trustees gave approval for seeking $400,000 in state funding to pay for transitional costs of a potential deal.

Milana Vayntrub is an American television and film actress. She is best known for portraying her AT&T saleswoman character Lily Adams in numerous commercials and advertisements.
Uzbekistan-born Milana Vayntrub has a much more extensive acting resume than you might think considering that most people simply know her as the AT&T saleswoman from the popular line of commercials and advertisements. Her resume goes much further back than that, however, as she could even be considered a child actress since she starred in Barbie commercials at five years old. Of course, it wouldn't be until years later that she would start to take on the craft more seriously (well, kind of).
Milana attended Beverly Hills High School briefly before dropping out and getting her GED instead. Having lived in West Hollywood with her parents since the family moved to the U.S. when she was three years old, she went on to attend UCSD and got her degree in Communications. This was not what she wanted to do most, though, as much of her time was spent training with the improv comedy group Upright Citizens Brigade. It was because of this training that she and friend Stevie Nelson started the comedy group Live Prude Girls, who put their video out on YouTube and eventually attracted quite a following due to their, um, attractiveness as people. Along with this, Milana also began acting in CollegeHumor videos, as well.
Of course, Milana biggest accomplishment is still arguably her AT&T commercials, as they made her the new face of the company since debuting in November 2013. This even lead to a huge surge in television series appearances. Since 2013, she has gone on to play roles on shows including "Key and Peele," "House of Lies," "Californication," and "Silicon Valley." Coupling this with the numerous television and comedy short roles she'd done already, and she's made quite a career for herself at such a young age which will likely only continue at rapid speed from here.

Windshield Safety
When you first realize that your windshield needs a replacement, one of the most vital details to remember is not to procrastinate. The front windshield in an automobile is an extremely important component of your vehicle. It is there to protect the vehicle occupants from flying debris, to prevent personal ejection from the vehicle during an accident and to help support the entire roof structure of the car. Driving around with a broken or cracked windshield is illegal in most areas. Even if the thought of a ticket isn't enough to prompt a quick replacement, then maybe the fact that a broken and weakened windshield may allow the driver or passenger to be ejected from automobile. There are over 12,000 fatalities each year attributed to people being thrown from their vehicle or badly hurt during a roll over. Weakened glass and improperly installed windshields play a large part in this high number of deaths.
We employ only highly skilled and qualified professional auto glass installers to repair or replace your glass. We use only O.E.M. quality glass in each and every one of our auto glass replacements. To make sure your windshield replacement does not detach from your vehicle while driving down the road, we use only the highest quality adhesives available. We also offer our free mobile auto glass service to all of Atlanta and most outlying areas as well. Most windshield replacements can take anywhere from 60-90 minutes depending on the complexity of the vehicle. The adhesive that holds the windshield to the front of the vehicle will not be at full strength for 24-48 hours. However the vehicle can be driven about an hour after the replacement is complete.

Plant Genes May Lack Off Switch, But Have Volume Control
By Jenna Gallegos
Scientists at the University of California, Davis have discovered that DNA sequences thought to be essential for gene activity can be expendable. Sequences once called junk sometimes call the shots instead.
Professor Alan Rose has been working for over two decades to unravel a mechanism called "intron-mediated enhancement." I'm a graduate student in Rose's lab, and we made an exceptional discovery in an unexceptional plant called Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress.

ARIES: Six of Swords
You may be on the verge of making important changes in your life, and in doing so will have to think about what you're taking with you and what you need to leave behind.
This doesn't necessarily mean material things; in fact that's rarely what it means. It's more about attitudes and belief systems, as well as a life you may have built and dreams you may have dreamed that are no longer capable of sustaining you.
The Six of Swords — this version from the Morgan Greer Tarot — is a card of transition and change. Moving from one "place" to another, if only in your mind. Notice how the woman in this card is huddled and shrouded from view. She's protecting herself from more than just the elements.
She may be mourning the loss of her previous existence, or she may be reflecting on the choices she's made to leave it all behind. She's put her faith in the ferryman to get to her safely to her new destination.
Notice too that while the waves are choppy beneath them, they start to smooth out the closer they get to the other shore. And speaking of that other shore, the landscape's silhouette appears to be promising. It's lush, flourishing and full of potential.
This is the message behind the Six of Swords. You may not be where you want to be just yet, but you're moving in the right direction. The Six of Swords reminds us that we're not alone. We don't get to the other side without assistance from someone, even when that "assistance" comes in the form of a setback that forces us to change direction.
It also provides clarity and perspective. We may see things we don't want to see — or admit to ourselves — but it's that kind of clarity that motivates us toward change. Take some time this month to reflect on where you are and where you want to be heading. This is the first step, courtesy of the Six of Swords, toward manifesting your goals.

Foreign ministers arrived in Beirut yesterday to help plan the assembly of a 15,000-strong international force to oversee peacekeeping efforts in Lebanon, while an explosive left over from the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah killed a man.
The international force would work with an equal number of Lebanese soldiers to police the ceasefire that took hold on Monday morning and ended 34 days of close combat, Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah rocket barrages.
The diplomatic maneuvers came as the Israeli army withdrew some troops from south Lebanon while Lebanese troops prepared to move across the Litani River today to take control of the war-ravaged region from Shiite Muslim guerrillas.
French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy and his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul, arrived in Beirut for talks. A delegation of the 56-country Organization of the Islamic Conference traveled to Beirut by land from Syria. It was led by Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar and Pakistan's top diplomat, Khursheed Kasuri.
In a sign of lingering danger in south Lebanon, security officials said an explosive detonated yesterday in the town of Nabatiyeh, killing a 20-year-old man.
The victim, Ali Turkieh, stepped on the bomb outside his family home. A girl in the area was injured by explosives a day earlier.
The UN hopes 3,500 international troops can reinforce a UN contingent already on the ground within 10 days to 15 days to help consolidate the ceasefire and create conditions that would allow Israeli forces to head home, Assistant UN Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Hedi Annabi said.
Journalists on Tuesday witnessed about 500 Israeli soldiers on foot crossing the border back into Israel near the Israeli town of Malkiya. Some smiled broadly, while others wept.
France was expected to lead the international force. The Italian foreign minister has already visited Beirut and pledged as many as 3,000 troops. Indonesia and a dozen other countries have expressed a willingness to help.
However, it remained unclear how quickly a full force could be deployed to Lebanon.
The process currently involves three armies on the ground and is complicated, given that those of Lebanon and Israel do not have direct contact and a third and central player -- Hezbollah guerrillas -- will not be involved.
The 2,000-strong peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL that has been in south Lebanon for over two decades was to temporarily take up positions along the border.
The zone along the frontier would then be handed to Lebanese troops and the greatly reinforced UNIFIL force once all Israeli soldiers have withdrawn, UN officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the delicate nature of the operations.
"It will be a gradual withdrawal. It will take a couple of days, even up to one week," a UNIFIL officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
"We agreed with the Lebanese army that it will start deploying as the Israelis start withdrawing. It could be as early as Thursday [today], maybe a slight delay," he said.
Those plans, however, depend on the Lebanese government giving the order for the army to move south of the Litani. The Cabinet has been unable to meet on the issue since the ceasefire because of divisions over what should be done about Hezbollah's arms in the south.

The Big 'Fall'
If we needed a reminder that it is not unusual for a large percentage of yearly depreciation to occur over the fall months of September, October, and November, we just had one. Big time. Some of the steepest declines we have seen since the financial meltdown occurred this year, and primarily in October and November.
Hardest hit as usual, with it being the most expensive segment, was the European and Asian luxury segment, cars more than trucks. A vehicle such as a 2010 Mercedes S550 has lost almost $3500 in value since the end of September, approaching 10% of its worth. That would be among the segment leaders in lost dollar value, but that 10% of lost worth is reflective of much of that market and is not particularly unusual.
Late-Models Lagging
The other industry leaders in depreciation include just about any of the 2012 and up vehicles, in particular any of those vehicles that are fleet or program vehicles and are returning to the market in volume. 2010 and older vehicles are not immune to the depreciation we have experienced of late, but they are much less affected than their more recent brethren. It is counter intuitive to be sure, but the reality is that something like a 2010 Toyota Camry with 80,000 miles might bring more on the block than a 2012 Camry with similar mileage. The 2010 car will have buyers chasing it. Those same buyers will largely ignore the 2012 model, thinking it is in another price category. Normally they would be right. This is not a normal market. Very frustrating if you're looking to "off" the 2012.
There really is no segment that has not been significantly affected by depreciation in the past few months. Good older vehicles have certainly been the least affected and will still attract a following of interested buyers. But if a rising tide lifts all boats then it follows that an ebb tide lowers all boats.
A December to Remember?
We find December to be the most unpredictable of all months for used vehicle values. There are years where the market actually strengthens, perhaps driven by the recognition of unusually strong depreciation over the fall months and anticipation of a spring market soon to begin if all goes according to schedule. There are years, however, when the market continues to fall through December. Other years the December market is a model of stability. We would not be surprised by any of those outcomes this year.

Whereas the conventional general election is vicious from the very start, primary contests usually maintain a faade of intra-party for a certain period of time. By the last week before the primary, that time is passed.
The first and most prominent example is Scott Walker's barrage of negative attacks against Mark Neumann. Walker, the frontrunner, perceives Neumann's chances are not as bad as the GOP establishment would like to believe, so he's running attack ads accusing Neumann of being a pork-barrel spender in conservative clothing.
Or look at the Republican primary for the 8th district Congressional seat. Despite a rather cordial contest between Reid Ribble, Roger Roth and Terri McCormick, the latter of the three lashed out at Roth, an Iraq war veteran, effectively accusing him of having a luxurious war experience. This was a couple weeks after Roth accused both of his opponents of supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Then there's the exciting Democratic Senate primary in Milwaukee, between incumbent Sen. Jeff Plale and Milwaukee County Supervisor Chris Larson. The tone of that contest has never been especially friendly anytime somebody challenges an incumbent in a primary, he has to make a pretty strong case against him to win. However, it is only in the past few weeks that the campaigns have started to really dig deep into the dirt, with both campaigns using their opponent's run-ins with the law to make a case that the other is not suited for elected office.
And of course, just look in our own backyard, in the ol' 77th Assembly District. Brett Hulsey recently started accusing Dianne Hesselbein of being a flip-flopper on transportation and environmental issues. Specifically, Hulsey and his supporters have accused Hesselbein of "flip-flopping" on the purchase of the Ice Age Trail, a proposal that Hesselbein voted against last year but supports this year, now that the county has negotiated a considerably lower price for the land acquisition.
Negative attacks need to be managed much more carefully in a primary. The voters are better-educated and more passionately political, which means it's harder to pull the wool over their eyes, especially with regards to a candidate from their own party. Moreover, if they feel your ad is misleading, they will likely react angrily and punish you for bringing ugliness into the family.
That being said, in my experience, GOP primaries tend to be uglier than Democratic ones. The best example would be the most recent presidential election. The Republicans wasted no time in savaging each other over abortion, taxes, gun rights...you name it. The Dem primary was a completely different affair. While there was no lack of ill will between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, neither one of them ever ran a full-on attack ad against the other. Sure, there was the "red phone" ad and plenty of criticism on the campaign trail, but the calculation the campaigns made was not to upset the undecideds, who they agreed did not want to see ugliness when choosing between two party sweethearts.

What the Sleestak Saw
Dennis (AKA Thidrek the Sleestak) has done a writeup of the last adventure over at What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse. And for a full expose of Thidrek in all his greenness checkout this picture by Jeremy/Oxide (AKA Ripper). Good stuff.
