BLM, Forest Service issue Northwest Colorado greater sage grouse plan
Steamboat Springs — The Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service have released a draft resource management plan and environmental impact statement for greater sage grouse in Northwest Colorado.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has until 2015 to determine whether to list the greater sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act.
"We want to see an effective plan that safeguards the best remaining habitat and is based on science and not politics," Megan Mueller, senior conservation biologist for Rocky Mountain Wild, said in a news release. "We look forward to reviewing the plan and hope that BLM has made the changes wildlife biologists agree are necessary to restore sage grouse before the bird needs to be protected under the Endangered Species Act."
The Northwest Colorado environmental impact statement is one of 15 being done across the West to provide additional measures to protect habitat on public lands and possibly preclude listing the native bird, according to a news release. The BLM manages 46 percent of greater sage grouse habitat in Colorado. The plan would not bind private land.
"Real conservation measures need to be made to save the grouse in Northwest Colorado," Wes McStay, a Moffat County rancher and member of BLM's Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Council, said in a news release. "My family has protected grouse habitat on our lands so the next generation can enjoy this wonderful bird. BLM needs to ensure that others are required to do the same on our public lands."
The release of the plan starts the 90-day public comment period, and the full report is available online. Public meetings will be held during October in Craig and Walden, which both have greater sage grouse leks in the vicinity. The meeting in Craig is set for 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at The Memorial Hospital. The Walden meeting will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Wattenburg Community Center.
According to the news release, four alternatives are outlined in the plan:
• Alternative A: Continue the current management direction under existing planning documents for all five field offices involved in the planning effort, plus the Routt National Forest.
• Alternative B: Analyze management actions outlined in the National Technical Team's report. Conservation measures under Alternative B are focused primarily on priority habitat areas that have the highest conservation value to maintaining or increasing greater sage grouse populations. These conservation measures include such protections as right of way exclusions and a fluid mineral leasing closure.
• Alternative C: Analyze management recommendations submitted by conservation groups for protection and conservation of greater sage grouse and its habitat at the range-wide level. Conservation measures under Alternative C include creating an Area of Critical Environmental Concern that would include all preliminary priority habitat and a grazing closure over all designated habitat in the planning area.
• Alternative D: Incorporate local adjustments to the National Technical Team's report that were developed with cooperating agencies. The purpose is to provide a balanced level of protection, restoration, enhancement and use of resources and services to meet ongoing programs and land uses. Conservation measures under Alternative D are focused on both preliminary priority habitat and all designated habitat.
The release states that Alternative D is the BLM's preferred option but notes that the final decision could be a mix of the alternatives.
"This is an opportunity for BLM to take a more holistic view of the landscape of Northwest Colorado to ensure that the special places and amazing wildlife resources that attract so many people to this region continue to drive our local economies into the future," Soren Jespersen, of The Wilderness Society, said in a news release.
The BLM and the Forest Service will issue separate decisions by Sept. 30, 2014, according to the release.
David Boyd, public affairs specialist for the BLM, said it's possible the two entities issue decisions that favor slightly different alternatives or versions of an alternative.
The next step, Boyd said, is to find a proposed alternative "that very often contains a blend of alternatives or elements within a range of alternatives."

Longridge Town boss Lee Ashcroft was delighted after watching his side beat Prestwich Heys 5-1 last weekend.
Paul Turner scored twice in the first half with Richie Allen, Joe Melling and Danny Wilkinson on target after the break.
Ashcroft believed his players are showing the benefits of their hard work going into further home games against Bacup Borough on Wednesday and Shelley on Saturday.
"I thought we were brilliant, and the pleasing thing was that the lads went out there and did everything I asked of them and they got their rewards," he said.
"It was a good test. Prestwich finished third last season and scored 124 goals, they will certainly be up there.
"I went to watch them last Tuesday and I knew that they were a decent side and they play good football, but I'm sure they weren't expecting a performance like that from a team that has just been promoted from a lower league.
"There's going to be harder games to come, we'll keep our feet on the ground but we've started OK and long may it continue."
Just as impressive as the victory was the turnout at the Mike Riding Ground.
A crowd of 211 turned up to watch Ashcroft's men and the manager hopes they will continue to turn out in such numbers.
He said: "The supporters were fantastic again. We had the best crowd in the league, and in the league above there were only one or two attendances bigger so we're doing something right.
"The lads can't believe the support we are getting and it makes such a difference.
"They all look forward to home games and we hope we are providing value for money with some entertaining football.
"The plea to the Longridge people seems to have worked and hopefully, on Wednesday night, there will be some more new faces because one thing we do well is entertain."

Harvey Gulf Files for Chapter 11 Restructuring
This week, U.S.-based offshore vessel operator Harvey Gulf followed its peers in filing for a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Harvey cited the offshore market downturn as the underlying reason for the restructuring, which primarily consists of a debt-for-equity swap.
Harvey's board and its senior lenders have voted to approve a restructuring plan that would "substantially deleverage [Harvey's] capital structure" to position it for "continued long-term success." Harvey Gulf seeks to pay its suppliers in full, and only senior lenders will be affected by a proposed stock swap. Their claims will be exchanged for new stock.
The debts affected include three credit facilities totaling to $1.2 billion, according to the plan. In addition, as part of the agreement, private equity group The Jordan Company will relinquish claims on Harvey Gulf's shipyard, the Gulf Coast Shipyard Group. Harvey Gulf described the yard as an important asset to retain for an eventual market turnaround.
In its filing, Harvey said that it has assets of between $100-500 million, debts exceeding $1 billion, a roster of 500 mariners and a fleet of 60 ships, including the high-spec MPSV Harvey Sub-Sea and the LNG-fueled OSV Harvey Freedom.
Harvey's advisors for the filing include Vinson & Elkins, Blank Rome, Stephens Inc., Postlethwaite & Netterville and Deloitte Tax.

It has been confirmed time and again that I'm a bitter and miserable human being. All of the nations' web sites are straightforward to navigate, so you'll not have any difficulties shopping the merchandise. In case you're a cash back professional or new to the world of cash back web sites DollarDig is an ideal addition to your buying habits to maintain extra dollars in your own pocket. Place an advert: Craigslist, local online event websites, and meet-up websites are nice places to post.
Back in the day, malls were simply locations to shop however at the moment, they have evolved to change into more than just buying and eating destinations. This yr by way of September, some 14 main U.S. retailers from Macy's to Males's Wearhouse each closed one hundred or extra shops. Clothes and sneakers are better tried on too – I always end up sending garments again that I've bought on the internet as a result of they do not fit correctly.
I now have been to the publish office (they advised me to) and will also have to go shopping right now to purchase these controllers – whole value rather more than if I had used Amazon. Keep away from faux web sites and phishing schemes A phishing scheme is any scheme that makes use of web sites or emails that impersonate reputable web sites and emails in order to steal personally identifiable information.
As talked about earlier than, services like & PayPal will enable you to just accept bank card funds on-line. But some websites are promoting cheap products at excessive worth to customers and some deals websites are highlighting (Promoting) these products for huge fee. I might not suggest procuring online in your very first pair of glasses or you probably have by no means had a extremely good becoming pair of glasses, as it's possible you'll want more specialist help to choose an appropriate a pair.
I additionally spoke with the representative from Customer Service, CCM, to get answers to my questions: 'Do I have to register as a enterprise entity to do on-line enterprise?', 'What if my income is through Google AdSense (via my blog or articles that I write on-line)?', 'If I do this activity half-time, like promoting on an adhoc basis, by means of eBay, and many others, or selling cookies during festive seasons, do I still must register?' The reply is YES.

A SWANSEA software development company is expanding into custom-built premises to meet growing demand for its services.
BSS currently operates from 1,200 sq ft premises in Gowerton, but is now investing in new 5,000 sq ft facilities on the Garn Goch Industrial Estate in Gorseinon.
The expansion into purpose- designed offices is being supported by the Welsh Development Agency.
Although it has a relatively small workforce of 14 people, BSS provides a wide portfolio of services to industry.
These range from server hosting to internet and web design, mailing services, networking and hardware and software maintenance.
In the last two years the company has undergone significant changes to expand and meet the future needs of industry.
"Communications are changing so rapidly that we looked back to the past to see where we needed to be in the future," said managing director Teifion Davies.
As a result the company has developed and launched eM1 - a major product that took four man years to develop, which finally went on the market this year.
They have also taken on more graduates and made the decision to invest in new premises
"The lack of space was holding us back as an increasing number of new customers want us to host their servers and eM1 - our new modular administration control system - is already attracting a number of new clients," said Mr Davies.
The new premises will have broadband, ISDN, IP Stream and glass fibre connections, as well as a dedicated server room with comprehensive back-up and security features, and a conference room with video conference facilities for training clients and staff.
Established 20 years ago by Teifion and his wife Zena, BSS has made a name for itself by developing computer-based management systems that can be tailored to meet the needs of individual companies.
It specialises in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, providing complete financial administration software packages as well as a series of specialist modules to satisfy individual clients' needs.
"My background is in management services and we use computer technology as the tool to achieve our aim - which has always been to provide user-friendly systems that are easy to understand and easy to operate," said Mr Davies.
"We don't use jargon or computer terms without explaining what we mean and perhaps the key to our success is that we provide a personal service - the people that developed our systems are the ones that answer the phones and help clients with any problems."

Authorities have said China plans to open 200 new GA airports by 2020, bringing the total to about 500, and then expand to about 2,000 over the next 10 years.

Also in the first half of the year, 118 new general aviation aircraft were registered in China, bringing the total to 2,415, and flight hours were up about 15 percent from the year before.
Chinese officials are in Brazil this week at LABACE 2018 (Latin American Business Aviation Convention and Exposition), working to expand their aviation sector and find new markets for their 18-passenger Y-12E twin turboprop commuter.

I'm An Alien
Yep, that's me. No Sci-Fi stuff, just me. Sorry.
Right now I'm a dependent alien. Alien, because I'm staying in the US for a few months as a non-American and dependent, because that's what my visa says.
When people ask me where I'm from and I tell them I'm from Hungary, sometimes I receive odd reactions. Some people simply nod and I can almost see the new input racing through their brain cells and ending up in the trash. Other people ask questions like:
"Is that in Asia?"
"It's a socialist country, right?"
But my Hungarian friends are used to the fact that the world (*cough Americans *cough) doesn't really know much about us. And let's face it, we are a small country in the middle of Europe, where everyone has their own
shi problems to deal with. However, on a more surprising note, this is not only true for Hungary. When I was in an unusually chatty mood with an American Uber driver, I added "but practically I live in the UK". And this is what I got:
"Wha's tha'?"
"You know, the United Kingdom? Britain?"
*Blinks and silence.
"England?" – I said.
"Oh, I just love your accent." – He said.
Yeah, it's my accent, surely.
It seems while British PM Theresa May is flooded with letters of her slogan falling off the wall in the wave of Brexit, this is what an alien gets for talking about the UK on the opposite side of the pond.
Perspectives, right?
The Lands of Immigrants
But the UK, Hungary and the US have at least one thing in common. Everybody wants to shut the door to everybody's face while yelling and beating their chests. They are mostly the politicians, to be fair. Nowadays the words "migrant" or "immigrant" are used with the tone of an insult or disgust.
In the UK – in the United Kingdom, in Britain, in England – a politician can pose in front of a billboard portraying marching refugees as a tool for tearing the country apart from Europe. (While being an MEP and receiving both salary and pension from the EU. Lovely, innit?)
In Hungary… Well this is a bit ironic, because, and this is true, the number of those people who are willing to set foot in the country are far less, than of those who are leaving it. Still, there are ongoing hate campaigns against the EU and now against George Soros, where the government uses migrants as punch bags. They even set up a fence at the southern border and wanted the EU to pay for it.
So to be clear, Hungary is getting emptier and emptier, but the government thinks that it was far too crowded anyway. There's a Hungarian joke about an aggressive piggy, who, after falling over on his bike, says "piss off, this is how I get off!" Yeah, I think you know what I mean.
And the US… *sigh.
I think the US President's reference to himself as "the least racist person on Earth" already says a lot. Yuuuge wall. Mexico will pay for it. Stealing jobs. Sh*tholes. Sh*thouse.
And beside all these, the President also says he wants merit-based immigration. Hearing him pronounce the two syllables of mer-it feels like two stabs in my eardrum. And not only because his status is, you know, not necessarily earned, but because this statement is also highly ignorant.
First off, categorizing people based on their "worth" defined by others recalls the most horrible events in the history of mankind.
And second, those idolized (white) countries where the President expects immigrants from, were not hit hard by screwed-up American foreign policies or natural disasters. This means the US should be more responsible for those who are affected by its actions. And yes, this also includes the victims of natural disasters, because these disasters are indicators for climate change that the US also intensifies with its second largest emission rates, and now its refusal to take part in the Paris agreement. And if you happen to be the kind of person who doesn't believe in climate change, that doesn't make you less responsible, only dumber.
I Remain an Alien
Phew. Not a light topic for a first blog post, right? And there's even more where this came from, but it was too long for one post. (And it's not really finished yet. – Now it is.)
And why did I choose this topic?
Because being a migrant is my everyday experience for a while now. And if I don't talk about how in my home country, Hungary, the government creates a hateful atmosphere towards migrants and refugees, while being one myself (not a refugee, just a migrant), I'm gonna blow up.
But it seems stoning immigrants for political gains is the new black in politics.
Therefore, while some people are unwilling to recognize that everybody is a human first, I'd rather remain an alien. And concentrate on what Sting already suggested.
"Be yourself, no matter what they say."
(And now it will ring in your ear all day. Your welcome.)
I can understand that you can't wait to read the next post, so all you have to do is to subscribe and stay tuned. You can also go here for some more.

As provided in section 551.708 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this decision is binding on all administrative, certifying, payroll, disbursing and accounting officials of agencies for which the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) administers the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). There is no right of further administrative appeal. This decision is subject to discretionary review only under conditions and time limits specified in 5 CFR 551.708 (address provided in section 551.710). The claimant has the right to bring action in the appropriate Federal court if dissatisfied with the decision.
The agency is to compute the claimant's overtime pay in accordance with instructions in this decision, and then pay the claimant the amount owed her. If the claimant believes that the agency has incorrectly computed the amount owed her, she may file a new FLSA claim with this office.
On November 26, 2013, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Merit System Accountability and Compliance received a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claim dated "November 2013" from Ms. Rebecca L. DeLaGarza, and on December 3, 2013, a second submission dated November 27, 2013. The claimant is currently employed in a Security Specialist (Personnel), GG‑080-12, position in the Adjudications Division, Consolidated Adjudications Facility (CAF), Department of Defense (DoD), at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. CAF was established on May 3, 2012, by consolidating the personnel security functions and resources of the individual DoD components into a single organization. The claimant was transferred from her corresponding position at DA to CAF effective December 16, 2012.
The claimant states a CAF [servicing human resources office] memorandum dated September 10, 2013, announced that her position "should never have been termed [FLSA] exempt and [she] should in fact have been paid at the appropriate overtime rate… from 2009 to present." She seeks "back payment (the half time) for all the overtime hours [she] was not paid time and a half for from [sic] 2009-2012 and as applicable 2012 to present." The claimant states:
I choose to have OPM review all overtime that was paid from July 2009 to November 2012. Also please review the overtime that was paid by my agency from 3 November 2012 to present. They paid out the difference for the overtime, however, I have been unable to access all of my LES's [sic] [Leave and Earnings Statements] in order to review to make sure it was correct... I am also requesting copies of my LES's from July 2009 to present.
The claimant's request misconstrues the scope of OPM's FLSA claims adjudication process. Under OPM's FLSA claims adjudication process, a claimant must provide "[e]vidence available…which supports the claim" (5 CFR 551.705(c) (5)) and the "remedy sought" (5 CFR 551.705(c)(6)). Thus, the claims process does not extend to conducting payroll audits by reviewing payroll records at the behest of a claimant to determine their accuracy, nor does OPM have access to the payroll records of non-OPM employees, which are maintained by each agency's payroll provider.
The record shows the claimant's FLSA status was corrected to FLSA nonexempt by CAF on August 16, 2013, retroactive to December 16, 2012. In a May 14, 2014, email to OPM, CAF's servicing human resources office certified it had made the claimant whole from the beginning of her employment with CAF forward.
In reaching our FLSA decision, we have carefully considered all information furnished by the claimant and DA, including the agency administrative report (AAR) which we received on September 30, 2014, and additional information we received subsequently to clarify the record from CAF. We have accepted and decided this claim under section 4(f) of the FLSA of 1938, as amended, codified at section 204(f) of title 29, United States Code (U.S.C.).
Period of the Claim
Section 551.702 of 5 CFR provides that all FLSA claims filed after June 30, 1994, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations (three years for willful violations). A claimant must submit a written claim to either the employing agency or to OPM in order to preserve the claim period. The date the agency or OPM receives the claim is the date that determines the period of possible back pay entitlement. The claimant did not indicate or provide documentation showing she had filed a claim with DA. OPM received the claimant's request on November 26, 2013, and this date is appropriate for preserving the claim period.
Applicability of the FLSA
To determine whether the claimant is owed overtime pay under the FLSA, we must first determine whether the work performed is exempt or nonexempt from the overtime pay provisions of the FLSA. The agency included in the AAR its report of findings concluding that the claimant's work at DA in the GG-080-11 position (PD# ST92135) she occupied from July 6, 2009, to July 3, 2010, and the GG-080-12 position (PD# ST92136) she occupied from July 4, 2010, to December 15, 2012, were nonexempt from the provisions of the FLSA. Based on careful review of the record, we concur with the agency's determination. The claimant is requesting compensation for work performed from July 2009 to the present when the record shows she was properly classified as FLSA nonexempt. Therefore, DA would have been required to compensate the claimant under the overtime pay provisions of Subpart E of Part 551 of 5 CFR for work performed within the statute of limitations.
Willful violation
The regulations governing the filing of an administrative claim (5 CFR § 551.702(c)) also state in pertinent part: "If a claim for back pay (emphasis added) is established, the claimant will be entitled to pay for a period of up to 2 years (3 years for a willful violation) back from the date the claim was received."
Thus, the next issue normally examined in establishing the claim period is if it should be extended to three years based on if the agency's actions met willful violation criteria. The claimant has not asserted DA or CAF committed a willful violation. Nevertheless, we have addressed the issue below. Under 5 CFR 551.104, "willful violation" is specifically defined as follows:
Willful violation means a violation in circumstances where the agency knew that its conduct was prohibited by the Act or showed reckless disregard of the requirements of the Act. All of the facts and circumstances surrounding the violation are taken into account in determining whether a violation was willful.
Clearly, not all violations of the FLSA are willful as this term is defined in the regulations. There is no question that DA and CAF erred in the exemption status of the claimant. However, error alone does not reach the level of willful violation as defined in the regulations. A finding of willful violation requires that either the agency knew its conduct was prohibited or showed reckless disregard of the requirements of the FLSA. The regulation further instructs that the full circumstances surrounding the violation must be taken into account.
It is instructive to consider how DA reacted when it discovered it had erroneously exempted the claimant from the overtime pay provisions of the FLSA. The agency reviewed the FLSA exemption status as part of its response to our AAR request. At the time, the agency was made aware of the result of an exemption determination decision issued by OPM on related Defense Security Service positions (OPM decision numbers F-0080-12-01 through 08, May 5, 2010). As a result of the review, DA assembled payroll records and, in conversations with OPM, indicated it was ready to make whole the affected employees upon receipt of further guidance by OPM.
With regard to CAF, that the agency took it upon itself to conduct a review of the claimant's exemption status as part of a routine audit and made the claimant financially whole for the entirety of her employment with CAF cannot be construed that their previous error was a willful violation of the Act.
Based on all of the above, we find the agency erred in not properly determining the claimant's FLSA exemption status. However, technical error alone does not rise to the level of willful violation. We find the agency acted in good faith by making a full and adequate inquiry once their attention was focused on the issue, and they took action to resolve the matter. In doing so, the agency did not recklessly disregard the requirements of the FLSA. Therefore, we find the agency's actions do not meet the criteria for willful violation as defined in 5 CFR 551.104. Consequently, because we received the claim on November 26, 2013, it is subject to a two-year statute of limitations commencing on November 26, 2011, and any time prior to that date falls outside the claim period.
Part of the claim is time barred
The claimant's request concerns overtime pay dating back to July 2009. The record shows the claimant preserved her claim with OPM on November 26, 2013. Since we find the agency did not willfully violate the FLSA, the claimant is eligible for back pay two years prior to that date; i.e., November 26, 2011, and the period of the claim prior to November 26, 2011, is time barred.
The record shows CAF made the claimant whole and that the claimant has received appropriate FLSA overtime pay from December 16, 2012, forward. Therefore, the claimant is due FLSA overtime back pay and interest from DA for the period November 26, 2011, to December 15, 2012. The period of the claim prior to November 26, 2011, is time barred and must be denied.
DA must reconstruct the claimant's pay records for the period of the claim and compute back pay for FLSA overtime pay owed and any interest on the back pay, as required under 5 CFR 550.805 and 550.806, respectively. If the claimant believes the agency incorrectly computed the amount, she may file a new FLSA claim with this office.

On Saturday a German cyclist suffered a stroke while riding his bike in Surat Thani. Gunter Retsch, 49, was saved by Arikanya Chuarob, a nurse from the Surat Thani hospital saw Gunter's friend Thomas calling for help outside the Cancer hospital of Surat Thani. Rushing to his aid the nurse discovered that Gunter had no pulse and quickly performed CPR for half an hour before the rescue team arrived. He then regained consciousness and was rushed to hospital.
Once at the hospital the man's condition was stabilized and once out of danger he was put under observation in the ICU department. Retsch had been in Koh Phangan on the morning of his incident and had planned to bike to Krabi with friends. The nurse said she was taking her family to Wang Kho for the New Year holiday when she saw a foreigner shouting for help. She went on to say that Retsch was biting his tongue and his heart had stopped, so she stuck a spoon in his mouth and gave him CPR, her family missed their day out in support of her lifesaving efforts. Mr Retsch is doing well other than chest pains from CPR and thanked the nurse for saving his life. He will need to stay in the hospital for around five days. Srikanya will be presented with a trophy of honour for her selfless lifesaving deed.

The final international break of 2017 is upon us and will leave all teams with time to assess before the final five-game stint of a busy year. However, before some rest and recuperation come several battles between the league's top sides and those who are aiming to do much better. It could be said about any weekend, but this time it feels genuine; it could be pivotal.
SV Sandhausen – MSV Duisburg (Friday 17:30)
After another impressive start to the season, things seem to be slowly slipping for Kenan Kocak's Sandhausen. Still just four points from third, the Hardtwaldstadion side have dropped four points in the last two weeks from goals in the final 10 minutes. They are aiming to grab a first win in four on Friday evening and it could be a case of returning to their back three, that has served them so well, to get back to winning ways. Sandhausen are missing Lucas Holer up front at the moment, though Richie-Sakuta Pasu's strike against Furth will give them hope that this is where they get back on track.
The Zebras earned a hard-fought draw against Union Berlin last weekend, an important result given the positive showings of those around them. Ilia Gruev's men look to have finally broken out of that run of rotten luck and loses, and surely fancy their chances of continuing that form against an indifferent Sandhausen. Enis Hajri is back from suspension but faces a battle with Andreas Wiegel for the starting spot at right-back, after the latter did well against Union. That could be the only change for a very settled Duisburg side.
1. FC Kaiserslautern – VfL Bochum (Friday 17:30, FOX Soccer Match Pass)
The Red Devils have found things tough going after Jeff Strasser's initial charge when he was appointed head coach. Now, the Luxembourg national is tasked with turning things around before they get cut adrift at the bottom. After a series of results went the way of their closest rivals, Kaiserslautern are six points from safety and five behind Heidenheim in 16th. A disappointing 3-1 loss in Regensburg certainly didn't do any favours, making a good run to the international break even more important. It's likely there will be some changes to the line-up after their busy week last time out.
Even though Jens Rasiejewski has taken just four points from his four games in charge, there are positive signs in Bochum. The defence showed real resilience against Fortuna, though the issue of finding the back of the net is still prevalent. While there was a case for a penalty and the ball crossing the goal-line, a draw was a fair result during Monday's meeting with the table toppers. Lukas Hinterseer was sent-off and will miss out but there are hopes that Robbie Kruse could make a timely return from injury to return in his place.
Eintracht Braunschweig – SV Darmstadt 98 (Saturday 12:00, FOX Soccer Match Pass)
A match between two of the league's favourites for promotion sees them sitting in 1oth and 11th respectively. Braunschweig have turned things around in recent weeks, but the pressure to perform to last season's levels still rest heavy on their shoulders. That has been made much more difficult in the absence of several key players, notably Christoffer Nyman. Quirin Moll is the latest name to be added to the injury list, in what is a very testing time for Torsten Lieberknecht. Despite all that, they'll be hoping to make it three wins in four home games this weekend.
Darmstadt have also found things tough going but, like Braunschweig, are just six points behind third and hold hopes of making an immediate return to the Bundesliga. Darmstadt have not had any problems going forward this year, and it is in defence that the Lilies have surprisingly struggled. Hamit Altintop is suspended and Felix Platte has a muscle problem to increase the list of absentees. It's now six games without a win, and Torsten Frings is feeling the same heat as his opposite number. Three points in Braunschweig would be the perfect tonic to get their season back on track.
Union were left slightly disappointed by dropping two points away to Duisburg so late on, though tiredness in the legs might well have been a factor after a tough Pokal week. That said, the Berliners are one of the league's most in-form teams and will certainly be out to prove a point against a promotion rival. They have no injury concerns after a busy seven days, which is a further boost to the fit and firing Union. Last week aside, Sebastian Polter is looking more and more like the player he was last season. That alone is enough to cause angst in the division's defences.
As much as travelling to Union is one of the most difficult trips in the season, St. Pauli will be raring to go. They're taken 13 points from 18 on the road this year, compared to just six at the Millerntor. The game would likely have been a better spectacle had FCSP not been counting on so many players being out injured, yet there is every possibility that it will be one to remember. The major boost is the return of Aziz Bouhaddouz, which could see Olaf Janßen think about a return to 4-4-2. A win is what they want, and would move St. Pauli level on points with Saturday's hosts.
Jahn Regensburg – SpVgg Greuther Fürth (Saturday 12:00)
One of many people's favourites to struggle this season, Jahn are keeping their heads above water after 12 Matchdays. They may sit in 15th with a two-point gap to the automatic relegation places, yet Achim Beierlorzer can be proud of what they have achieved. Even recently, that has come without star man, Jann George. He may well be fit again to face his former club on Saturday but Sebastian Stolze has taken the headlines in recent weeks. The Wolfsburg loanee is showing promise anywhere on the right-flank, which may mean George has to settle for a spot on the left.
The Shamrocks have also been on a promising run of late, having picked up two wins in their last three games. The position might well be perilous but the change to a 3-4-2-1 seems to have worked a treat for Damir Buric. The Croat had fellow countryman, Mario Maloca to thank for a late winner against Sandhausen and it seems like the Fürth back three are enjoying the change. They will, however, be without Maximilian Wittek due to suspension as they make the short trip across Franconia, otherwise it's very much as they were the last weekend.
Fortuna Düsseldorf – 1. FC Heidenheim (Sunday 12:30, FOX Soccer Match Pass)
Even though Bochum brought their five-match winning run to an end, Fortuna maintained their place as the pace-setters. The lack of Oliver Fink seemed to tell as Friedhelm Funkel's men lack some of that cutting edge in attacking areas. Benito Raman is likely to return after Takashi Usami failed to impress on Monday, and that aside the line-up should pick itself. F95 were another side coming in off the back of a Pokal tie and that probably told in Bochum, and a six-day period between that and this game should see them in peak condition once more.
It's been tough going for Frank Schmidt and Heidenheim this year, especially given their reputation as a side that always starts well. There does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel after DFB-Pokal progression and a fantastic win over Nürnberg, and the club seem back to their old selves. It's unlikely that Schmidt will make any changes to the line-up whatsoever, yet they are hoping to convert more chances. Thorsten Kirschbaum proved a worthy adversary, and Raphael Wolf will be no easier, though Robert Glatzel should be full of confidence following his goal.
Erzgebirge Aue – Arminia Bielefeld (Sunday 12:30)
Four wins, a draw and three loses – it's been a truly mixed bag for Hannes Drews' time in charge of Aue thus far. The only real disappointment so far was the defeat to Fürth, and the Violets can count themselves comfortably in mid-table. While they are just five points off promotion, survival is almost undoubtedly the first and most important aim this season. Despite the solid platform, Pascal Köpke's form seems to have disappeared of late and a strike from him would be most welcome before the international break around the corner.
After topping the table early on in the season, that now seems like a distant memory for Jeff Saibene. Although they are in a much, much better position than last year, three defeats in a row is cause for concern on the Bielefelder Alm. A lack of goals seems to be the main issue. Arminia only scored less than two goals three times in their opening nine games. That has doubled over this losing stretch. Only Andreas Voglsammer has scored more than twice and, while they have spread the burden around, some assistance could prove the difference on Sunday.
Holstein Kiel – Dynamo Dresden (Sunday 12:30, FOX Soccer Match Pass)
The Storks may have had their wings clipped by Darmstadt, and missed the chance to close the gap to Fortuna to a single point, but they can be proud after a tough week. To come away having been the better side and most players having gone 120 minutes against Mainz, Markus Anfang can take a lot of performances from the week past. Dominic Peitz will be missing after picking up five yellow cards, leaving David Kinsombi on hand to fill in. As it has been all season, the usual suspects will be in the line-up. The only question is whether or not Anfang wants to mix it up out wide.
Dynamo were dealt a blow just before the weekend began, when it was confirmed that Aias Aosman would join the injury list. The only positive is that Haris Duljevic has been solid since his arrival, and Patrick Möschl was on the scoresheet against Braunschweig. Moritz Hartmann is still out and Philip Heise is suspended, meaning Uwe Neuhaus is digging further into his reserves this weekend. That said, they should still be able to send out a strong side and get back to some sort of form. Dynamo have won just once in their last six league games.
1. FC Nürnberg – FC Ingolstadt 04 (Monday 19:30, FOX Soccer Match Pass)
Nürnberg, along with Ingolstadt and the rest of the top four, are one of the sides to beat this season. Unfortunately for them, after an exhausting evening in the Pokal, they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Heidenheim. It was probably the most disappointing performance under Michael Köllner this season, though this will only give FCN even more incentive to bounce back in style against one of the chasing pack. With no notable injury worries heading into the game, there are no excuses for the hosts not to go out and put on another attacking masterclass.
Ever since their loss to Bochum, Stefan Leitl's men have looked nearly unstoppable. Aside from a 2-2 draw with Dynamo, they are in fine fettle – winning the other four games since a 2-0 loss at the Ruhrstadion. Sonny Kittel is on course to, somehow, surpass Pascal Groß' incredible scorer-point record from a few seasons ago. He is the driving force in the side currently, though a strong defence and Thomas Pledl's moments of magic have been supported by a very sturdy midfield. It's a game that would have been a foregone conclusion a few weeks ago, but now it's the highlight of the weekend.

Hello there,
My name is Alison or Ali if you prefer. I am somehow 19 and technically an adult, which scares me more than spiders! I come from Manchester's but am currently training to be a Children's Nurse at Northumbria University in Newcastle. All I eat is chocolate, you can't keep me out of a swimming pool and I never stop singing. Travelling though is my biggest love, exploring people's lives, communities and the beautiful nature that surrounds them is where I will be in my holidays. The picture above was taken of me on holiday in Tanzania.
Wait, wait, wait. Before I go on, I will explain why am introducing myself to you all. Recently I have become the Northern Synod United Reformed Church's Youth Rep. In English this means I represent all you young people up to the age of 25 who live in the north east right from Northallerton up to Berwick. I meet with a team of adults who support youth work within your churches as well as a small group of young people from across Britain to organise URC Youth Assembly.
Next question then. What is URC Youth Assembly? Basically, Youth Assembly is a weekend away where all the young people who go to United Reformed Church across the country meet up to celebrate their faith. The weekend is filled with food (very important of course), youth focused worship, incredible music, practical workshops and small discussion groups.
So, this little letter is you invite you all to join me and other young people from the North East area to Youth Assembly next year in January starting on the evening of Friday the 19th until Sunday afternoon the 21st. It happens in Whitemoor Lakes Conference Centre in Staffordshire. We will all travel together, and you will get to meet young people from across the country. If you want any more details have a quick Google. Wanting to come to Youth Assembly please get in touch with me! It would be great to have you there. If you want to be involved with young fun across the Synod get in touch with me touch too! Would love to hear from you!
Thank you.

Sébastien Ogier secures Mercedes wild card drive at the Red Bull Ring
Five-time World Rally champion Sébastien Ogier will make his DTM debut at the Red Bull Ring as a wild card entry at the wheel of a seventh Mercedes AMG C63 DTM.
Ogier had been linked to Mercedes' wild card entry, but the participation of a seventh car at one of the last three rounds of the season was subject to the DMSB's (German ASN) waiver of regulation that prevented such an entry – with BMW and Audi agreeing to the waiver.
The 34-year-old had his first taste of a DTM car at Zandvoort, taking his wife Andrea Kaiser – TV presenter for series broadcaster SAT 1 – on a series of passenger laps, and will have an adaptation test at Vallelunga today and tomorrow in preparation for the penultimate round of the season at the Red Bull Ring on September 21-23.
Ogier, a Red Bull athlete, will carry a special livery not related to the energy drink, since the Mercedes team at the DTM is sponsored by rival company Silberpfeil.
"This is a very exciting experience," he said. "The DTM is something completely new for me, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible with each lap. I see it as an opportunity to broaden my racing horizons and gain more experience.
"Up to now, I haven't driven much on permanent racetracks – only a couple of times in a GT car. A DTM car is obviously faster. Of course, you can't expect to be competitive as a guest starter right away. I'm expecting difficulties in my first weekend at Spielberg, where my target will be to keep up with the other drivers as much as is possible."
Mercedes AMG DTM boss Ulrich Fritz was understandably thrilled to confirm Ogier's participation.
"Sébastien is a real racing driver," he said. "He has demonstrated his ability more times than enough all over the world on gravel and tarmac by winning five world rally championships.
"So it comes as no big surprise to me that he would now like to tame a DTM car. He will be making his DTM debut on a proper race circuit at Spielberg, and I know for sure that he and his fans will have a lot of fun as he does so. However, it's also very apparent that it will be no walk in the park for Sébastien as a guest starter in such a hotly contested field. Still, that's what drives a champion like him to put on a good show for the fans."
Audi used its wild card entry at the season opener at Hockenheim for a special farewell race for Mattias Ekström, with BMW taking its opportunity at the seventh round of the season at Misano for brand ambassador Alex Zanardi's DTM debut.

Note7 owner, 06 Apr 2017Why not sell it for $150 less and keep all the mumbo jumbo to your self, no one wants them. Ma... moreBecause if they sold it for 150 less, they'd get 150 less money, but if they offer you what's seemingly an extra 150 they only end up giving off 20 of the supposed income for manufacturing and shipping costs of the extra stuff, also they show bigger sales numbers for all their crap, keeping stakeholders happy and stock price up and last but not least they get a promotion which in turn also helps them turn over more and more of these devices..
jorm, 06 Apr 2017s8 is not good i won't buy s8 even if you give me 1000$care
Samsung s8 is over price, they make it longer as edge .. same shit, all about because Samsung note 7 was a piece of shit battery issues, they loosing a lot of money ..now they want to earn back what they lost ..on note 7, do not support Korean phone , go for the other best phone.
Why not sell it for $150 less and keep all the mumbo jumbo to your self, no one wants them. Makes your new phone look cheap and desperate.
As I see preorders are not going to well..... ]:-) it is my curse for not repairing my broken glass which broke while charging! Here you go Sammy!!! kappa
It has been calculated that flagship phones are the cheapest to buy in USA. Glad to be back but Americans do get the inferior Snapdragon variant thanks to poor optimization from Samsung.
Laggy UI and slightly worse battery life but same design, camera performance, cheaper price, and a bunch of freebies worth hundreds of dollars. Deal would be better with a free 256gb microSD card or Samsung TV.
AnonD-88005, 06 Apr 2017What about europe? The deals are only coming to US as always. Explain to me Samsung please !noooo...they don't care for us, they just need out money, so that's why their products cost a lot more than in US (not just for a TAX)
What about europe? The deals are only coming to US as always. Explain to me Samsung please !

Cambridge Roof Truss have chosen to use Mitek Pamir design software for its roof trusses and Posi-Joists.
This enables us to design, detail, estimate and manufacture complex trussed rafter roofs and floors.
All our in-house designers have been fully trained and have many years' experience designing roof trusses and floors for national house builders, contractors and local builders, enabling us to offer a comprehensive design service. This training is on-going, to ensure that best practice is always followed and that we keep abreast of any changes. The MiTek Pamir Software has been updated to include Joists, making the process of designing joists easier, especially where a project requires by trusses and joists in a flat roof senario for instance.
We can work from PDFs, but where possible prefer CAD files, as this enables us in most cases, to import the footprint of the structure we are working on, ensuring accuracy, as well as speeding up the process, enabling us to work more efficiently.
As part of the design service we offer, we can provide 3D visualisation, a tool which we find beneficial when working on complex roofs both for us and for our clients.
Where possible, for larger projects we like to be involved right from concept stage, where any potential problems can be discussed and overcome prior to going out to tender. This we find makes the whole process run smoother, and avoids issues later on in the design process. We can then ensure that the design we produce fulfils all the projects requirements.
If we can see savings that can be made, or ways of making construction on site easier, then we will always discuss these alternative options with our customer and make such decisions together to provide a comprehensive, workable design.
If we can help you with your next project then please upload your drawings and send them through to us. You may like to refer to the technical guides provided for both roof trusses and metalweb joists.

POTTSVILLE — Kristin Delorge is headed to state prison after a Schuylkill County judge sentenced him Tuesday for possessing and disseminating child pornography in December 2015 at his former residence in Union Township.
Delorge, 43, of Ringtown, must spend 18 to 36 months in a state correctional institution, and an additional 10 years on probation, Judge Jacqueline L. Russell decided.
"I thought very long and hard about the appropriate sentence," Russell said.
Russell also sentenced Delorge to pay costs, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $749.95 restitution, undergo sex offender and drug and alcohol evaluations and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities. She allowed him to remain free on $100,000 straight cash bail pending his appeal, which Frank R. Cori, Orwigsburg, the defendant's lawyer, said he would be filing.
In addition, Russell ruled that Delorge is a Tier 2 sex offender and will be subject to Megan's Law sanctions for 25 years after he leaves state prison.
After a two-day trial over which Russell presided, a jury of eight women and four men convicted Delorge on Nov. 1, 2017, of 10 counts each of dissemination of photo or film of child sex acts and sexual abuse of children-child pornography, two of possession of a controlled substance and one each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation charged Delorge with possessing 10 child porn images, eight of which carried the marking Vietnamese Child Brothel, on Dec. 20, 2015, on his laptop at 131 Breisch Road. Police also said that Delorge possessed marijuana, methamphetamines, baggies, pipes and a digital scale when they arrived at his residence on March 8, 2016.
State police Cpl. John D. Powis, the prosecuting officer, testified on Tuesday that no files of child porn were found from before December 2015. However, he said state police received downloads of child porn from Delorge's computer.
"Anyone who had that file-sharing program … could have downloaded that," Powis said.
Cori said his client's actions were completely out of character, and that he should not receive a harsh sentence.
"This case is aberrant behavior," he said.
District Attorney Michael A. O'Pake said that while the case had been prosecuted before he took office, he believed the jury's verdict must be respected and Delorge should get a stiff sentence.
"The jury saw pictures" that should preclude a light sentence, he said. "I'm not aware … of what any mitigating factors would be."
Russell said that while Delorge was not personally involved with the activity depicted in the files, and did not intentionally disseminate those files to any particular person, child pornography would not exist without people like him who create a market for it.

One in four men thought women engaged in prostitution make a lot of money to keep for themselves.
One in five thought it was OK for men to pay for sex if they had unmet needs.
Nearly every man thought prostitution would not harm his relationship as long as his significant other didn't find out.
All of those attitudes shifted dramatically after the men attended a "John School," a court-ordered class for men convicted of buying sex in the Twin Cities.
Men who attend the Offenders Prostitution Program, offered by Breaking Free in St. Paul, often are not aware of the dynamics of prostitution and sex trafficking, said Lori Stee, director of public policy and education for the nonprofit.
"They don't understand that it's a multi-billion dollar business and women are sold like drugs or any other commodity," Stee said.
The men are surveyed at the beginning and then again at the end of a daylong class that includes presentations from a survivor of sex trafficking, as well as remarks from a victim's father. The course also discusses the legal implications and potential health risks of prostitution.
"It's not intended to beat men down, to shame them, but none of the presenters pull any punches either," Stee said. "They keep it real, very graphic."
Before the class, nearly one in four thought that a woman in prostitution was able to tell a customer no if she doesn't want what he wants, according to survey results from the 2013-14 annual report. After the class, none agreed with that statement.
Similarly, a third of men said prostitution is harmless sexual activity between adults. That fell to just 4 percent after the class.
Men pay $750 to Breaking Free, and the money goes to fund direct services to sexually exploited women and girls. Breaking Free works with St. Paul police to monitor the re-offense rate of the men. The program reports a 96 percent success rate, but Stee said they have an extremely limited ability to track that.
"And so few are caught," Stee said of johns. "They could be out every night of the week and not getting caught somewhere."
Breaking Free also collects demographics on who the first-time prostitution offenders are.
"It's a complete cross section of young, old, educated, high-income, low-income, predominantly white but probably proportionate to the population," Stee said.

Drop Shape Analyzer – DSA25S
The basic instrument for measuring surface free energy
The standard version of our Drop Shape Analyzer – DSA25 measures the contact angle with high precision and determines the surface free energy by carrying out measurements with several liquids. Our DSA25S provides rapid results for the wettability of a surface, for example for checking the quality of a cleaning or pre-treatment process.
The faithful display of the drop is facilitated by a high-quality zoom lens, which enables even small drops to be represented with optimum width, thus guaranteeing a precise measurement of the contact angle.
Dosing is carried out under software control with accurately adjustable drop volumes to ensure comparable results. Accurately controlled dosing dynamics enable the advancing and receding angles to be measured precisely. This dosing mode enables local inhomogeneities to be averaged out and therefore a reliable measurement to be recorded.
Our software can automatically start the measurement process immediately after dosing, thus enabling raw data to be recorded without losing any time and the results to be made available straight away. Easy-to-change syringes save even more time.
Our DSA25S standard version can be upgraded to the DSA25E expert instrument. The DSA25E provides software-controlled double-dosing and also enables the surface tension of a liquid to be measured.
- Manual lift table (z-axis)
- Software-controlled single-dosing unit
- Zoom lens
- Camera with 1200 × 800 px at 200 fps to 90 × 60 px at 2000 fps resolution
- Very bright, homgenous LED illumination
- Software for measuring contact angle and surface free energy of solids
