Minnesota Fans Plead with Kevin Love to Stay While T-Wolves Play LA LakersFebruary 5, 2014
With the Los Angeles Lakers in town, the Minnesota Timberwolves are all too aware that Kevin Love could eventually leave the team and throw on a purple-and-gold uniform.
It's no secret that Love can opt out of his contract at the conclusion of the 2014-15 season, and he's already got those California connections. Born and raised on the West Coast—Santa Monica, to be exact—Love attended UCLA before he was drafted by the 'Wolves, with whom he's spent the entirety of his NBA career.
With Minnesota still failing to win and Love presumably tiring of the losing efforts, Los Angeles is appearing as a strong possibility for his future. In fact, an anonymous general manager told ESPN's Chris Broussard (subscription required), "That's a 100 percent certainty," while referring to Love's future joining with the Lakers.
However, the 'Wolves aren't going to give up that easily, and neither are their fans:
Can you blame these supporters of the downtrodden organization?
It's been a long time since this franchise advanced past the final game of the regular season. In fact, it hasn't done so since 2003-04, when Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell led the 'Wolves into the Western Conference Finals.
Remember who they lost to?
Oh, yeah, the Lakers...
Love is—by far—the best player this organization has rostered since K.G. departed for the Boston Celtics. He'll be starting in the All-Star Game for the first time in a few weekends, and he's averaging 25.5 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
Not too shabby.
It's no wonder he's working up this type of passion from those in attendance at the Target Center.
They can sense what seems inevitable right now, even if Love's free-agency decision hasn't actually been made and won't be determined until quite a few more games have been played.

Executive Summary
Americans are free to make decisions about their health, education, and welfare. We can choose what to eat, how to exercise, whom to marry, where to worship, and which candidate deserves our vote. Students can use federal financial aid to attend the college of their choice – even a seminary! But most Americans have little ability to choose how or where their children will be educated during their most critical formative years.
Brand name pharmaceutical companies and federal and state governments are raiding consumers' pocketbooks by preventing them from buying generic drugs. Such restrictions can be an enormous financial drain, especially for low-income Americans and seniors who live on fixed incomes and pay for prescriptions out-of-pocket.
The EPA's proposed air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter might actually do more harm than good, even just in terms of public health. Recent studies suggest that the costs of the proposed standards could be $90 billion to $150 billion annually, forcing consumers to spend less on health care and safety products. A recent study by the Reason Public Policy Institute found that up to 27,000 fatalities may be attributed to the proposed standards.
Dr. Kay Jones' analysis of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) annual mortality estimates from fine particles has resulted in the discovery of several problems. His study demonstrates that the EPA's dependence on a key but highly flawed study, as well as its questionable use of this study's data, has led it to exaggerate the health risk from PM2.5. Dr. Jones concludes that promulgation of the proposed standard is scientifically unwarranted.

Joseloff, just an 'observer,' says Westport better now than he found it
Updated 6:01 am, Friday, November 15, 2013
Although he won't say if his suitcases are already packed, First Selectman Gordon Joseloff, who leaves office Monday after eight years as the town's chief elected official, says he plans to travel.
First on his list are visits to see his three grandchildren, who all live out of state. He also wants to see a play or a movie, now that he won't have to attend the series of municipal meetings that he regularly has, or to take care of the numerous other civic responsibilities routinely expected of Westport's first selectman.
"In my years as selectman, I think I only took two days off to see my sister in California," he said. "You can't travel too far or for too long," he said. "If something happens in town, the first person they ask for is you."
Joseloff, 68, said there are definitely challenges to the job, especially when a major storm -- like Superstorm Sandy -- hits or when you get buried under several feet of snow -- which happened last February.
"The first job of governing is protecting the people," said Joseloff, a Democrat who has devoted 22 years of service to the town, including time as a Representative Town Meeting member.
The town weathered four major storm events during his tenure, one that resulted in a fatality, when a tree crashed down on a vehicle killing the woman inside, he said.
"I think that after each storm we learned something," he said. In particular, it's that when it's a state-wide event, each community must be prepared to do as much as possible on its own. "You can't wait for the National Guard to arrive if all the other towns are expecting the same," he said.
Joseloff said he enjoyed the job of first selectman, though there were times of frustration. "It's not being able to help all those who need help that's most frustrating," he said.
He said he would like the completion of a residential complex for the town's senior residents on the Baron's South property to be his greatest legacy to the community -- although the final chapter on approval and construction of that complex has yet to be written. However, he credited much of the progress to date on the proposal to Selectman Shelly Kassen, who has been his Democratic running mate in each election. "It's been a marathon, not a sprint," he said, in getting plans for the project to move forward.
There has also been significant progress in planning for a revitalized downtown. "When we took office eight years ago, there was a high vacancy rate there," said Kassen, adding that's changed. Joseloff also led efforts to coordinate plans for several major capital projects downtown by establishing the Downtown 2020 Committee, which recently won approval to conduct a master plan for the area.
Joseloff said ending the 1,500-foot rule between outlets serving liquor and approving outdoor dining both helped bring new restaurants to town over the last few years.
Joseloff hasn't decided if he will continue working in other fields after he leaves office next week. But, the one-time CBS news man said, he will continue to publish the community website, WestportNow, which he founded in 2003. When Joseloff took office in 2005, he said he turned over the editorial control to others but retained a financial interest in the company.
Joseloff said he may take a look at launching similar websites in other communities.
He will also continue as a Fire Department volunteer. "I roll the hose," he said. And while he's been asked to stay involved in other community activities, right now, he said, he's "happy to be an observer" for a change.
As for the new first selectman, Republican Jim Marpe, Joseloff said he feels he is capable of handling the job's challenges. "I just hope he recognizes the importance of our town employees before he does any reorganization," Joseloff said. "Our success is what these people do."
He said that while he has had to address complaints from residents over the years about town services, few concerned employees themselves. "That's a testimony to the quality of people we have here," he said.
Joseloff, whose office this week had been cleared of almost all his personal possessions, will be leaving Marpe a folder of town-related information. "I think right now, he's about as prepared as one could be," he added.
"It's been a great honor, and I've been humbled, to run the town I grew up in," he said. "When the opportunity arose I took it," he said.
"I think we left it better than we found it."

- The Story of a Birmingham Jazz Man
(E-bog, ePub)
Beskrivelse: Doc is the autobiography of jazz elder statesman Frank 'Doc' Adams, highlighting his role in Birmingham, Alabama's, historic jazz scene and tracing his personal adve... Læs mere nture that parallels, in many ways, the story and spirit of jazz itself.Doc tells the story of an accomplished jazz master, from his musical apprenticeship under John T. 'Fess' Whatley and his time touring with Sun Ra and Duke Ellington to his own inspiring work as an educator and bandleader.Central to this narrative is the often-overlooked story of Birmingham's unique jazz tradition and community. From the very beginnings of jazz, Birmingham was home to an active network of jazz practitioners and a remarkable system of jazz apprenticeship rooted in the city's segregated schools. Birmingham musicians spread across the country to populate the sidelines of the nation's bestknown bands. Local musicians, like Erskine Hawkins and members of his celebrated orchestra, returned home heroes. Frank 'Doc' Adams explores, through first-hand experience, the history of this community, introducing readers to a large and colorful cast of characters- including 'Fess' Whatley, the legendary 'maker of musicians' who trained legions of Birmingham players and made a significant mark on the larger history of jazz. Adams's interactions with the young Sun Ra, meanwhile, reveal life-changing lessons from one of American music's most innovative personalities.Along the way, Adams reflects on his notable family, including his father, Oscar, editor of the Birmingham Reporter and an outspoken civic leader in the African American community, and Adams's brother, Oscar Jr., who would become Alabama's first black supreme court justice. Adams's story offers a valuable window into the world of Birmingham's black middle class in the days before the civil rights movement and integration. Throughout, Adams demonstrates the ways in which jazz professionalism became a source of pride within this community, and he offers his thoughts on the continued relevance of jazz education in the twenty-first century.

I've been a big fan of the MAP Toolkit for a long time now. It's great way to easily asses your environment for readiness and migration information for new releases such as Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 and Office 2013. Because it doesn't use an agent to gather data on your network it's quick and easy to get back very good data about what you have out on your network. With so many new products in market right now it's an essential tool to aid with your evaluation and deployment projects.
So with that the Solution Accelerators team is please to announce the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 8.0 Beta. Check out all the details below on what's new but you will notice from the screenshot below that the interface has had a "modern UI" makeover which is nice to see.
Accelerate your Windows Server 2012 migration with Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit 8.0 Beta. This latest version of MAP adds new scenarios to help plan your environment with agility and focus while lowering the cost of delivering IT. Included in MAP 8.0 Beta are hardware and infrastructure readiness assessments to assist you in planning the deployment of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, preparing your migration to Windows Azure Virtual Machines, readying your environment for Office 2013 and Office 365, and tracking your usage of Lync.
Key Features and Benefits
Determine your Windows Server 2012 readiness
MAP 8.0 Beta assesses the readiness of your IT infrastructure for a Windows Server 2012 deployment. This feature includes detailed and actionable recommendations indicating which machines meet Windows Server 2012 system requirements and which may need hardware updates. A comprehensive inventory of servers, operating systems, workloads, devices, and server roles is included to help in your planning efforts.
Determine your Windows 8 readiness
MAP 8.0 Beta assesses the readiness of your IT environment for a Windows 8 deployment. This feature evaluates your existing hardware against the recommended system requirements for Windows 8. It provides recommendations detailing which machines meet the requirements and which may need hardware upgrades.
Key benefits include:
- Assessment report and summary proposal to help you understand the scope and benefits of a Windows 8 deployment
- Inventory of desktop computers, deployed operating systems, and applications
Assess your environment for Office 2013 and Office 365

New ISA Informational Website Launch By isalimit.co.uk
The ISA Limit website introduces the current ISA allowance limits for 2011/2012 along with historical rates and ISA information for consumers.
This month saw the release of the ISA Limit website which is aimed at providing information and statistics for UK savers that are considering taking out an Individual Savings Account (ISA). There are defined limits which must be adhered to in order to qualify for ISA status. These will often change on a per tax year basis. The isalimit.co.uk site details the maximum amount that can be invested in each tax year.
ISALimit.co.uk details the different types of ISA products that can be taken out which fall into two main categories. Cash ISAs and stocks and shares ISAs. The site goes on to explain the differences between the two types of products and how it is possible to either take out a cash ISA or stocks and shares ISA in isolation or alternatively combine both cash and stocks and shares in the one ISA. Depending on the type of investment in the ISA and the combination there will be different monetary maximums that can be added in any one tax year.
For a primer on the different investment levels that are permitted by law in a cash or stocks and shares ISA, www.isalimit.co.uk provides the information a potential investor would need to know in terms of what the maximum investment they would be able to make per tax year.
Author: ISA LimitThis author has published 1 press releases so far. More info about the author is coming soon.

The alternative is to release as major.minor.numeric.patchlevel, so what is now 1.4.1 would be called 184.108.40.206, and 1.4.1 would be the branch from current, but that's not entirely sensible either. # >It would certainly solve the 1.4<letter> convention and save us from # >running out of chars... # # but instead we'd be using up more. letters are a much more compact # form of representation.

|The Netherlands: Setting the Knowledge Pace
Debra M. Amidon
Perhaps it was the early writings of Arie de Geus, then a planner at Royal Dutch Shell, who made me realize there was something extraordinary educationally in The Netherlands. In 1989, he wrote in the Harvard Business Review - "learning is the only sustainable advantage." Since then, I have discovered numerous Dutch beacons of knowledge light and in a variety of settings.
When David Skyrme and I helped conduct a survey of knowledge management for our research report, Creating the Knowledge Based Business (1997), we were able to contrast the results with survey done years earlier, one of which was conducted by the Knowledge Management Network (KMN) - also based in Holland. This provided us a longitudinal analysis of the evolution of the knowledge movement. Even at that time (1994), 80 per cent of their respondents admitted "there are critical business processes or situations where it would be valuable for more knowledge."
It wasn't long before Rob van der Spek, Kenniscentrum CIBIT, continued his leadership by hosting the 1997 Seminar in Utrecht, The Netherlands, under the auspices of the Dutch chairman of the EU. 'Knowledge Management and the European Union' convened - 60 international experts including the Ministries of Education for the EU countries, and reported findings that have illuminated many academicians, industrialists and government officials. It was realized during the dialogue that academic institutions are but a node on the learning network - a realization placing a knowledge, education and innovation at the heart of any enterprise future.
Post-Doctoral Knowledge Program:
Those Higher Education institutions have certainly take up the challenge and in June, 1999, Tilburg University graduated its first post-doctoral class in Knowledge Management - which may be the first, if not one of the first, in the world. Dr. Pieter Ribbers, architect of the program, and I have known one another for a decade when he first visited Digital Equipment Corporation and learned about our Management Systems Research Program.
Ribbers discovered in his courses, that students needed a cross-disciplinary design that integrates Strategy, Data Systems, Organization and Information Systems. With intensive courses in each of the four domains, a dozen students gained an understanding of how a focus on knowledge provides the interface. These students, representing a broad range of disciplines and professional careers (e.g., medicine, social work, high technology, academia, etc.) produced a thesis on a related topic to deepen their understanding of the concepts.
As part of the program, I was invited to present four content sessions on the following topics. Reference material is available upon request.
Part I: "The Momentum of Knowledge Management"
Interest in the focus on knowledge strategy has grown exponentially in all corners of the Globe. What began in 1987 with a Roundtable on 'Managing the Knowledge Assets into the 21st Century' has evolved into a 'Community of Knowledge Practice.' In fact, not only are enterprise leaders using this as an opportunity to transform their organizations, but political leaders - from both developing and industrialized nations - are seeing this rubric as an opportunity to catapult their countries into the next millennium. This session was designed to trace some of the trends, scope the various competencies in the knowledge community, identify the core concepts and begin to sift the fad from the fundamental. Participants created their own timelines and plotted their organization on the 5 Generation Management Grid.
Part II: "Creating a Knowledge-Based Strategy"
It is one thing to understand the core concepts of the knowledge economy. More difficult is putting it into practice. Peter Drucker says that innovation is the one competence required for the future and the ability to measure the performance thereof. Definitions of innovation will be explored as well as ten dimensions of innovation strategy. In this way, participants will learn to calibrate their organization's performance to create ideas and move them into the marketplace profitably and expeditiously. This section highlighted examples of leadership in practice from the recent Business Intelligence research report. Participants took the Litmus Test and completed the Knowledge Innovation assessment radar chart to calibrate their innovation leadership.
Part III: "The Knowledge Value Proposition"
The business value proposition has shifted from one of cost, quality and time to a far more complex balance of economics, behavior and technology. Knowledge is now seen as the engine of the economy and how to measure the value of intangible or intellectual capital may be the managerial challenge of the decade. Several models have emerged and accounting organizations and nations are moving toward establishing guidelines and even standards for measuring and reporting the hidden value of companies. This session explored some of the recent trends including the models being most quickly adopted. The discussion assessed the pros and cons of such a movement, the difficulties of determining the real indicators of value and the economics of intangible value - the 38 trends relevant to the knowledge economy.
Part IV: "Customer Innovation"
There is a significant difference between 'customer knowledge' and 'knowledge of the customer.' Few organizations comprehend the distinction - never mind put it into practice. Most organizations are still operating as innovation value chains where the customer is at the end of the delivery system. This session explores modern concepts such as 'innovating with the customer'SM and explores how to standardize learnings into products and services that could generate products at a premium price. Participants will begin to distinguish from the sales, relationship and partnering models in a realization that a successful organization might require a balance of all 3.
The second class in the post-doctoral program is already underway and soon we will begin to gather assessments of how these learnings are put into practice real-time during the alumni reunion.
Students Assume Knowledge Leadership
Shortly after the invitation to teach arrived, so did an invitation for the students of Tilburg University who were organizing their own 'SBIT Lustrumcongres Kennismanagement' for 30 March 1999. Sebastiaan Franssen firstname.lastname@example.com, one of the organizers, provided a program with expert speakers from both inside The Netherlands as well as experts from abroad. With over 300 registrations and an overall rating by participants of 8 out of 10, the conference far exceeded expectations with an overflowing audience and many sponsors, eager to position their own knowledge products and services. Plans are already underway for the next conference that will take place on 28th March 2000.
To prepare for the 15th annual
"Knowledge is being shared more and more, within as well as between organizations, originating from the ever increasing necessity to be competitive and proactive to the market instead of reactive. Knowledge should create a solid basis for organizational empowerment. If, however, knowledge isn't shared and effectively distributed throughout the organizational channels, an opportunity to strengthen the organization is lost. Knowledge management creates, seen from very diverse and different angles, the possibility to strengthen organizations and therefore should become an organizational function.
But where resides responsibility for this function? How can the advantages of using information and communication technology be used in this context? And how do you create a culture in which people share knowledge without questions. So: Dare to share - An issue of organization, technique and culture.
Fast and changing is the environment in which organizations operate. Strikepower is of big importance. More and more the critical success factor of an organization is being able to get the knowledge out of your organization and out of the environment of your organization. But getting the knowledge out of your organization is not all there is. The available knowledge must eventually lead to adjusted behavior so you can react 'real-time' on environmental developments. So it is not only managing knowledge but also managing your 'Organization-IQ.'
So knowledge management is not only a technical problem. Trying to fully use Information Communication Technology is not enough. To often knowledge management is only seen as pure technology or pure as a organization question. So many times Knowledge Management is not correctly implemented because not all aspects get enough attention.
The impact of knowledge management on the organization needs a new approach. Working processes change and new technologies are being introduced. At the same time, knowledge management demands open culture in which knowledge sharing and learning from your colleague(s) is normal. This conference therefore propagates that knowledge management is a wide perspective. The three aspects - Information Communication Technology, Organisation and Culture are the keywords from which knowledge management is measured."
We toured the Global Knowledge Leadership Map where we found several representatives from The Netherlands and well as those representing Holland-based firms, such as Shell. We examined the elements of the new knowledge value proposition, identified characteristics of knowledge leaders and began to envision a future based upon knowledge, not financial capital only.
Other presentations were provided by faculty, executive consultants in major firms such as Arthur D. Little, and executives from a variety of other firms who were implementing programs that serves as case study examples.
Alumni Not Left Behind
Alumni were invited back to the university to participate in a session - "Bringing the Knowledge Future into Reality." In one of the first efforts to bring alumni back to the campus intellectually, the TIAS faculty sponsored a program to learn about the international knowledge movement and how best to put the concepts into practice. They learned that momentum for the knowledge movement is increasing at a geometric pace and in all corners of the globe. The OECD is providing leadership for industrialized nations and The World Bank for developing countries. Most functions, sectors and industries are realizing that the changes are fundamental.
Harmony across Regions of the World
In a unique series of 'knowledge concerts' - a presentation combining the messages of the knowledge economy together with the improvisational talent of concert pianist Silvard Kool, we have been able to demonstrate that learning can be educational and entertaining simultaneously. Not only is Silvard a native Dutchman, he is a Boston College professor of biology as well.
Recently, our presentation - "Tour de Knowledge Monde" - was webcast live on the Internet via one of the knowledge guilds - ICUniverse, an affiliate of one the knowledge trading system - IQ-Port.
The IQ in Knowledge Management
Roelof P. ult Beijerse, author of the discussion paper on the topic, studied sociology in Rotterdam and now works as a research-trainee at the Economic Policy Unit of EIM/Small Business Research Consultancy. He offers a definition of Knowledge Management:
"Knowledge Management is achieving organizational goals through strategy-driven motivation and facilitation of (knowledge-) workers to develop, enhance their capability to interpret data and information, experience, skills, culture, character, personality, feelings etc.) through the process of giving meaning to these data and information."
The core concepts, then, are:
There are as many definitions as there are individual practitioners and consultancies in the field.
For ENTOVATION, the definition remains - as established in 1993:
"Knowledge innovation is the creation, evolution and
exchange of marketable products and services for the:
Perhaps this represents the simplicity - without being simplistic - that practitioners are seeking.
Several companies in The Netherlands are beginning to explore this definition in earnest.
International Master Class
Being able to set the bar is only the first stage in being the leader. Continued evolution of the standard is the real name of the game; and this is where CIBIT excels. This month, they announced their new development program in 'Knowledge Management as a Tool for Business.'
They suggest that "Nowadays organizations realize the crucial role knowledge plays in determining their ability to compete and survive. However, making the step from intentions to actions I not simple at all." This five-day program is intended to create experts in the field.
According to the brochure, "The Master Class concept was developed as an education form for top musicians. Short intensive sessions, interaction with other ambitious colleagues, guided by an experienced master." They suggest that Knowledge Management is about smart ways of working and smart businesses. Knowledge is worthless unless people turn their knowledge into action. Enterprises should manage knowledge in order to convert it into benefits. Smart businesses should know how to:

How did the Gang Strike Force go bad? Today's report explains.
- Article by: Nancy Barnes
- Star Tribune Editor
- December 12, 2009 - 11:26 PM
In April, veteran reporter Randy Furst broke a story about how members of the Metro Gang Strike Force attended a six-day conference in Hawaii, using nearly $17,000 in forfeited money that had been seized by the Strike Force in the course of its work.
That turned out to be the first of many exclusive stories that Furst reported this year examining questionable practices within the Gang Strike Force. His reporting ultimately contributed to the decision to shut the organization down.
Furst reported, along with Lora Pabst, how officers seized $4,500 in cash from Dagoberto Rodriquez Cardona in 2008 when Cardona went to claim a car from an impound lot, without ever documenting that the money had been seized. Cardona later filed suit, illustrating that the cash was money he and three others had earned through work, not drugs.
We learned, through Furst's reporting, that seizing cash, cars, TVs and other property without proper documentation had become common practice on the force, first to help fund the work during tough days, and occasionally to enhance the lifestyles of some police officers.
Furst also broke the story, ahead of everyone else, that Strike Force commander Chris Omodt had closed the unit in late May after discovering that officers had been shredding documents prior to an investigation into Strike Force activities.
Today, Furst and Paul McEnroe take you behind the scenes to explain the meltdown of this organization, one of the biggest failures of crime enforcement in recent Twin Cities history. Their exhaustive reporting shows how something that began as a successful, upstanding crime-fighting organization eventually went rogue.
I'm proud of the work these reporters have done this year because it exemplifies the mission of our newsroom. We have many goals, of course: to inform, entertain, enlighten and engage our readers. But I believe that we are not truly succeeding unless we are bringing you news you won't find anywhere else and are making a difference in the lives of our readers and our communities.
In addition to the Gang Strike Force reporting this year, reporter Tony Kennedy brought you the story of how charter schools are using junk bonds and paying excessive fees to help construct buildings that may or may not be needed in the state. Pam Louwagie and Glenn Howatt showed how hundreds of elderly residents were dying after falls in nursing homes and how there was little effort to document why this was happening. Chris Serres and Jennifer Bjorhus told why so many banks in Minnesota have failed this year. James Shiffer helped some residents break free of state guardianship laws and go home after their doctors had declared them well.
These stories, in ways small and large, have produced change in the lives of individuals, in organizations and in our greater society. In my mind, they stand out as some of the best work we have done all year to fulfill our mission to make a difference.

Zangeki no Reginleiv
|Zangeki no Reginleiv
Zangeki no Reginleiv is a third-person action game developed by Sandlot and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game was released exclusively in Japan in February 2010.
The game is largely based on Norse mythology, namely the story of Ragnarok. The game stars siblings Frey and Freya who serve the gods of Asgard as they battle against an army of giants on Midgard.
Zangeki no Reginleiv features two playable characters: Frey and Freya. The game's story uses a mission-based structure in which players can choose between playing as either character, both of whom are able to use different types of weapons.
The game was originally announced by Nintendo in October 2008, under the title Dynamic Zan and slated for release in 2009.[1][2] In November 2009, Nintendo once again showed the game under the new title Zangeki no Reginleiv, with a new release date in February 2010.[3]
Zangeki no Reginleiv was approved by Nintendo in fall 2006, before the release of the Wii.[4] During development, the team was divided about the level of violence that would be depicted in the game; eventually, the team agreed to adding the ability to chop off limbs, as it was against mythological creatures rather than people.[4]
Zangeki no Reginleiv was the first Nintendo-published game in Japan to be given a CERO D rating.[5] In order to more clearly denote the game's "mature" status and prevent parents from buying the game blindly, the game was released in a black case[4], a practice which has since been continued for most games on Nintendo platforms rated CERO C or higher.
In Famitsu, the game was given the total score of 28 out of 40 (8/7/7/6).[6] Kaza MacDonald of Eurogamer rated the game a 5 out of 10, praising the game's weapon and combat systems, but criticizing most other aspects, including the visuals, some aspects of the control, and repetitive nature of the gameplay, stating that "It's impossible to recommend actually spending money on it unless you're very rich and have a very strong affection for terrible videogames. If that's you, you'll definitely enjoy yourself."[7]
On its first week, Zangeki no Reginleiv was the ninth best-selling game at 21,956 copies.[8].

The mother of all brain games has now come to Facebook! If you feel like giving your brain cells a run for their money, you simply log into the social network and start playing.
If you thought that Sudoku is an ancient Japanese puzzle game, we have to disappoint you. Earliest but possibly unrelated versions of the game appeared as early as the late 19th century in French newspapers. They disappeared around World War I and only reappeared in an optimized version in the late 1970s. The modern version of Sudoku only gained massive popularity in 1989. This is where the Japanese connection came to be, as the puzzle game was introduced to Japanese audiences who embraced it. Since then, Sudoku has gone on a mission to conquer the world entertaining audiences of all ages. With the rising popularity of online games, the quiz game featuring numbers has also found its way to Facebook!
The free-to-play online version of Sudoku is everything you would hope and expect from the popular puzzle game. More than reinterpreting the gameplay, MegaZebra's (Solitaire Chronicles, Mahjong Trails) app simply gives you the classic concept. You've never gotten around to playing Sudoku because you don't like mathematics? Well, good for you that the online game actually doesn't require mathematical skills at all! Despite its numbers, Sudoku is actually a logic game. The gameboard is made up of a 9x9 grid. Groups of 3x3 squares make a unit. Some squares will have numbers already in them. Other squares are empty. With logical thinking, you will be able to fill the empty squares. Within each unit, each row, and each column, the numbers 1-9 can only appear once respectively.
Fret not, if you still feel overwhelmed by the rules. Sudoku on Facebook features various difficulty settings. As soon as you get the hang of it, you will develop an eye for the puzzle game and quickly move on to Medium, Hard, and Expert mode. With each higher difficulty, you will find less pre-set numbers.
Since Sudoku is a Facebook game, it is extremely easy to compete against your friends.

Father McDermott the pastor of St. Mary's, just
two blocks away, and a broken physically and
spiritually, St. Patrick's. Another pastor, Father
Hilary Tucker, had even gone so far as to request a leave of absence from the Bishop. Rather than counting on the negatives, Father John focused on
the positive factors he had going for him. Now
that many of the dissenters were either at St. Peter's or St. Mary's, the Irish who were coming to
St. Patrick's were looking for leadership. They
found that in Father John O'Brien and his older
brother who was to join him in 1851, Father Timothy O'Brien. Though older than his brother, Father Timothy was the more personable the more vocal of the two. It was through their combined talents that the growing Irish numbers would find identity in Lowell.
Since they were not part of earlier struggles between the Irish factions they could move easily between the circles. The O'Briens immediately, made their presence known attending functions at St. Peter's and St. Mary's thus ensuring the dominance of St. Patrick's as maintaining the title of "Mother Church" of the Lowell area.
The pair realized that if their people were to become a vocal presence within the community, and not just members of the work force, education was needed. By 1852 five sisters of Notre Dame were brought from Cincinnati to open a school for girls. Though no building was ready for them, the next day classes started with over 100 girls attending. Within a few days over 300 were attending. Quite soon thereafter the Sisters, encouraged by Father O'Brien, started visiting the sick. There was a City Dispensary for the poor and the Corporation Hospital funded by the mills. The O'Briens' attempt at caring for the ill soon outgrew its site and plans were made for a hospital.

Brad Keselowski got some help on the last day of practice for NASCAR's Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway.
Pole sitter Joey Logano was involved in a three-car accident during the first of two practice sessions Saturday, switched to a backup car and will start from the rear of the field Sunday.
That will move Keselowski, who had qualified third, to the front when the green flag drops Sunday. Marcos Ambrose will start on the outside.
And if Keselowski leads the first lap, he will extend his points lead from 20 to 21 in the 400-mile race. He needs to finish 15th or better to clinch the title, which would be the first for longtime NASCAR team owner Roger Penske.
"I certainly wasn't expecting to be on the front row," Keselowski said. "It's different from what we're used to, but it's different in a good way. … If I can take the lead without wrecking myself, then that's what I'm going to do."
Keselowski seemed a little tighter than usual Saturday, quite possibly starting to feel the pressure as he goes for his first championship.
Fellow title contender Jimmie Johnson, who will start 10th in the finale, has done all he can to make Keselowski feel uncomfortable.
"Ready to race for sure," Johnson said. "Very pleased with how our car finished up. It's really nothing for me to lose sleep about tonight. It's an easy night for me. … Easy from my standpoint because I've got nothing to lose. We'll see what they do on the other side."
Johnson also thoughts about how he would like see the first lap unfold.
"I hope (Keselowski) tries really, really, really hard to lead that first lap," Johnson said. "I know Ambrose next to him is going to try hard, too. That could be good for me."
Keselowski knows Johnson is messing with him and is a little envious of his position.
"I don't ignore it, but if we could change places, I bet he would in a heartbeat," Keselowski said.
Keselowski was faster than Johnson in practice Saturday. Keselowski turned the faster lap and edged Johnson with a better 10-lap average.
But NASCAR chairman Brian France stressed the sport is committed to both social media and technology, and drivers could be communicating from inside digital cockpits as early as 2014.
Keselowski was fined $25,000 for having a cellphone inside his car last week at Phoenix International Raceway. NASCAR found out about the phone because he tweeted during a red flag in the race — the exact same thing he did to worldwide acclaim in the season-opening Daytona 500 without penalty.
France admitted Keselowski's tweets in February caught NASCAR by surprise, and the rule has since "evolved" to address the possibility of competitors manipulating electronic fuel injection with onboard digital devices.
Nationwide Series: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. left little doubt that he's ready for a promotion.
Stenhouse became the sixth driver to win consecutive championships in NASCAR's Nationwide Series. He finished sixth in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, edging Elliott Sadler for the title.
"A lot of people put a lot of effort into this and I'm just the lucky guy who gets to drive it," said Stenhouse, who is replacing Matt Kenseth in the Sprint Cup Series next season at Roush Fenway Racing.
Stenhouse finished his final Nationwide season with six wins.
About the only drama in the finale was whether he would play it safe. He did, but not without a few close calls. His spotter even had to remind him several times over the final 10 laps to avoid potential pitfalls.
Stenhouse eventually obliged, but only after he held the push-to-talk button down on his steering wheel to drown out all the chatter in his helmet.
"I don't ride around," Stenhouse said. "That's not how we got in this position."
Regan Smith won the 300-mile race, his first victory in 103 Nationwide starts. He was making his first start since 2007, and he's going to race for the championship next season for JR Motorsports. This was his debut race with that team, which is co-owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and had not won a race since 2010.

In addition to salary and production bonuses, the job also offers dues for AVMA, Virginia veterinary license fees, liability insurance, health insurance, continuing education, and optional participation in a matching IRA account. We have numerous specialists available in the area for referral, as well as local emergency clinics, eliminating the need to see after-hours emergencies. The applicant must be a "people person" and have a positive outlook with good interpersonal skills, as client communication and relationship-building are the most important features of our practice.
We would be interested in any level of experience, including new graduates. Exotics/avian interest would be a plus.

By Xandra Clark, Peninsula Press
An excerpt from this article is below. Read the full story on the Peninsula Press.
This summer, Stanford University celebrates the works of a renowned American playwright, actor and screenwriter with Stanford Summer Theater's Sam Shepard Festival. The program features a film series, a community symposium, a continuing studies course and a production of Curse of the Starving Class, one of Shepard's dark comedies about an American family's absurd struggle to live the American dream. The production is running now through mid-August.
Max Sosna-Spear, an actor who plays the idealistic Tate family son named Wesley, graduated this June from Stanford's master's program in modern thought and literature. He is an avid improviser, actor and silk aerialist who is heading to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career when the production ends.
Sosna-Spear offers a behind-the-scenes look into Stanford Summer Theater's 2012 production of the American classic.
Peninsula Press: What has been your favorite part of the rehearsal process?
Max Sosna-Spear: The whole play takes place in the kitchen of this family's house, and, unusually for most of these projects [at Stanford], we got to rehearse in the theater for the whole process… We were lucky to have a lot of our props and set pieces for a lot of our run, so we really live in this kitchen, and we really cook bacon, and we really fry eggs, and there's really a refrigerator in which we keep cold food. There's a sink that works. So I really enjoyed the physical 'visceralness' of it… You get to feel like it's really real. Continue Reading >>

Dane Caught For BribingPattaya police have arrested a Danish man who tried to bribe an officer.
PATTAYA – November 24,2015 [PattayaDailyNews]; at 21.30 pm Pol.Col.Prapansak Prasarnsuk- superintendent of Chonburi immigration police- and police officers together made a statement about the arrest of Mr.Jesper Kongerskov Hansen aged 53 from Denmark after trying to bride an officer.
Mr.Jesper who was a translator in a hotel in Pattaya pretended to be a policeman in Denmark and abused a boy. He earned 800,000 baht. He then tried to bride a policeman not to prosecute him. However, the police officers didn't take his money and prosecuted him instead. Later the man travelled back to his home country and changed his name to Mr.Leon Christiansen before returning to Thailand.
When he went to Immigration to renew his Visa then the police officers found something suspicious; therefore, the officer checked his information and found out that he was Mr.Jesper. He was then arrested but denied the allegations.

Major North American stock indices made moderate gains ahead of the weekend on news that U.S. inflation was unchanged last month.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index advanced 39.81 points to 15,174.81.
In New York, two indices reached all-time highs. The S&P 500 index added 11.44 points for a record of 2,459.27, while the Dow Jones industrial average rose 84.65 points to 21,637.74 — its third consecutive day of record highs.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq composite index climbed 38.03 points to 6,312.47.
The U.S. Department of Labor released data showing inflation was unchanged in June and rose 1.6% over the last 12 months. Excluding food and energy items, the consumer price index rose 0.1% in June and 1.7% for the past 12 months, the department said.
Those figures, which came in below market expectations, were the primary driver behind the growth Friday, said senior investment strategist Macan Nia of Manulife Financial Corp.
Nia said the flat inflation numbers gave markets a boost because it suggests the U.S. Federal Reserve Board may have more reason to delay another interest rate increase.
The market thinks the Fed is "going to be a little bit more cautious," he said.
Earlier this week, the U.S. central bank had already signalled it may slow down the pace of rate hikes if annual inflation stays below its 2% target.
That's good news for markets in a simplistic sense because it means the cost of borrowing money to invest remains low, Nia said.
The belief the U.S. may slow its rate hikes also weakens the U.S. dollar and provides a boost for gold, he said.
The price of the precious metal shot up US$10.20 to US$1,227.50 an ounce, as the global gold sector led advancers on the TSX, where bullion stocks gained an average of nearly 1% of their worth.
Elsewhere in commodities, the August crude contract gained US46¢ to US$46.54 per barrel and the August natural gas contract advanced US1.9¢ to US$2.98 per mmBTU, while the September copper contract was up about US3¢ to roughly US$2.69 a pound.
The Canadian dollar was trading at an average price of US78.91¢, up 0.44 of a U.S. cent.

The pursuit of a suspected car thief ended with a Lakewood police officer shooting the man tonight in Tacoma after he fired at officers, according to Lakewood police.
Two officers traveling in a patrol car started chasing a suspected stolen vehicle at Gravelly Lake Drive and Interstate 5 about 9:49 p.m., and continued onto northbound I-5 until the suspect exited at East Portland Avenue, Lakewood police spokesman Chris Lawler said.
The officers used a maneuver to stop the car, at which point the suspect started shooting at them, Lawler said. The officers fired back, and the suspect was hit and taken to a local hospital, Lawler said, adding that his condition is unknown. Initial reports that the suspect had died at the scene were false, he said.
No officers were injured.
The patient was taken to a local trauma center with life-threatening injuries, according to Tacoma Fire.
Tacoma police will handle the investigation, and the officer will be put on paid administrative leave, per procedure, Lawler said.
The Portland Avenue exit was closed while crews responded.
UPDATE as of Monday: The driver remains in critical condition, and is a 35-year-old man, Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum said.

I am not too sure it is a good working disk at this point.

In October 2007, our daughter B was born. Soon after, we tossed out the parenting books and decided to wing it. Things went so well that in October 2009, we welcomed a baby boy, and realized we had already forgotten everything we learned the first time around.
The Daily B chronicles the snapshots, (mis)adventures, and truths of new parenthood. We believe wholeheartedly in parenting by instinct, trusting your intuition and having as much fun as possible. We also like to keep things green and simple around our house, so you'll see many fun DIY, budget home design, and upcycling projects on the blog too.
The mom behind The Daily B is Gina DeMillo Wagner, an award-winning magazine writer, storyteller and photographer. She adores mournful folk songs, the smell of a freshly burned match, mountain breezes, and buttercream. Her dream job would be penning the next hit HBO drama with Alan Ball (creator of "Six Feet Under"). But in the meantime, she's pursuing her goal of taking a photo every day and finding a home for her parenting memoir, HIDING PLACES, currently represented by the Claire Gerus Literary Agency.
Check Gina's her other site and get in touch if you have a project you'd like her to consider. Looking for a lifestyle photographer in the Phoenix, AZ or Boulder, CO areas? Click here.

I will gladly discuss this with you. If people can't be bothered to spay and neuter their animals, then it is THEY who are the problem people not me. I choose a dog breed that I want and by buying from a breeder I get exactly that breed. I have adopted cats, and a dog, but purebred dogs are wonderful and I do not feel you should be chastising me because I did my homework and did not ever let any animal reproduce.Delete

JUNEAU - Alaska's public safety employees who become disabled in the line of duty will not have to worry about medical coverage thanks to the efforts of Rep. Charisse Millett, R-Anchorage and the Parnell administration.
Representative Millett is the prime sponsor of House Bill 87. The bill would close a loophole in state statute preventing a public safety employee who becomes disabled on the job during their 20-25th year of employment from receiving major medical coverage until they turn 60 years old.
With only a month left in the session HB 87 was at risk of not passing. Representative Millett, public safety employee groups and the Alaska Department of Administration decided the best solution was to draft regulations to close the loophole so firefighters and law enforcement officers are protected.
For more information, contact Rep. Millett at 465-3879.
"I want to thank Representative Millett for working so hard to protect the health and welfare of our public safety workers," said Mark Drygas, President of the Alaska Professional Firefighters Association. "Closing this loophole means the men and women who have devoted themselves to public safety will not have to worry about medical coverage if they ever become disabled in the line of duty."
"Being a legislator isn't just about passing bills and making speeches, what it's really about is helping people," said Rep. Millett. "This was one of my top priorities for the session and I'm proud we got the job done."
For more information, contact Rep. Millett at 465-3879.

Does anyone know if Hermès has stopped selling the 200ml bottles of terre d'hermes parfum? It has been missing from their uk online store for a few weeks now. I've nearly finished my 50ml bottle of eau de toilette and was really hoping to pick up a large bottle of parfum.
Also if anyone could tell me how much the hermessence line of fragrances cost from uk boutiques I would be grateful.

In this course we will study phenomena that introduce and depict the dynamism and complexity of evolution.
The topic of evolution leads into the mysteries of the development of life on earth. It is hard to think of an area of biological inquiry that shows so deeply the interrelatedness of all life forms and that raises such fundamental questions about our own origins. Evolution is also a topic of controversy, one in which scientific and religious worldviews often restrict open-minded inquiry. Perhaps the primary challenge in any consideration of evolution is: how can we learn to think evolutionary processes in a way that does justice to the phenomena themselves?

The Permian Basin accounts for nearly half of the 821 drilling rigs in Texas, according to according to the latest Baker Hughes Rig Count.
The Basin, with 380 rigs, not only dominates the evolving Eagle Ford in South Texas (226) rigs but also accounts for more rigs than the second and third most productive states (Oklahoma 176 and North Dakota 163).
The 821 drilling rigs in Texas are 47 percent of U.S. rigs and 24 percent of all drilling rigs worldwide, according to the rig count.
Most of the Texas rigs are working in one of five major fields.
The Permian Basin has 380 rigs, the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas has 226 rigs, the Granite Wash in the Panhandle has 40 rigs, the Barnett Shale in North Texas has 34 rigs and the Haynesville Shale in East Texas has 23 rigs.
And here's where rigs are working across the U.S.:
Texas: 821
Oklahoma: 176
North Dakota: 163
Colorado: 112
Louisiana: 105
New Mexico: 74
Pennsylvania: 56

What is photographic restoration?
Photographic Restoration is the process by which I can return your much-loved images to their former glory. More specifically, I use digital restoration to create a new photograph of the highest quality, by rebuilding the original that you provide. I am able to leave the original version completely untouched, and create a digital replica so that your memories can be preserved.
Why is it important?
I have over ten years' experience in this field and have restored a large number of photographs, many of which have been estimated at over a century old, and would likely have been lost forever without a careful restoration process to preserve their worth in a new, digital format. We acknowledge and honour history by protecting images of the past and ensuring that they will be able to be enjoyed by generations to come.
The process of digital restoration is the safest and most reliable method of restoring or recovering a photograph, and it ensures that the original version remains unaltered.
What services can you expect?
I offer a variety of services:
• Photographic restoration
• Retouching
• Photocopying
• Printing
• Enlargements
• Reproduction
• Scanning negatives
• Re-colouring of old black and white photos and passport photos.
If you opt to use the most updated paper and pigmented inks, the restored print will be of museum quality, and with proper care, can last forever.
I also offer a mail-order 'print and post' service, and provide free delivery service in the Cairns and Tableland areas- please enquire for details.
Call us today (0447 496 183) to have your special memories restored and protected forever!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Grant15 from Very good blower This is a very good blower for a home owner. I have had it over a year now and still works great! Although I wish you could buy a flat nozzle for it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Canada84 from Hard to start and get warmed up I've had this for one year today. I don't use it on a daily basis but probably on average once a week maybe two. When it's cold the starting and warm up is very difficult. There is a very strict protocol you need to follow to get it going. Once it's been running for a while it's easier but still the blower will not stay started if you pull the gas to quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DDrewC from BG 50 This BG 50 blower works great! I have used numerous Stihl products from chainsaws, a new weedeater in the last year and now a blower. I am very satified with these products.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Vincheck from Hard to start Very hard to start. The guy at Sutherland's where I bought it had a hard time starting it. He said it was because it was new. Sure hasn't got any easier to start.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SJ11 from Just what I was looking for I was using an electric powered blower and my house needs sweeping almost everyday due to the many trees so I was looking for something portable, compact, strong and dependable. This gas blower has it all and so far I am very happy with it and for the price it was well worth it. I have a big yard and carrying the electrical cord was getting annoying at times not being able to reach and not having the freedom to move freely. Since the purchase and from when I first turned it on it has not failed me and has always performed he same when I have used it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Karaba22 from Nice product Not a bad blower. Air flow is ok but could be better if curved attachment was available. This would direct the air better. I cannot find a curved attachment for the tube. No one at dealer has been able to help nor can I find one on the website.
Date published: 2018-03-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bloke from The blower that keeps on blowing! I have had this blower for well over 20 years and it still runs just like it did when I got it. It has been through very heavy usage on a year around basis with very little maintenance. Basically I just Put gas in it and use it. I can't say enough good about this product. If you want a good all-around blower that will last And give you a dependable start this is your blower!

Rated 3 out of 5 by DiggerODell from Not as good as the BG55, this is a poor replacement, less blowing power I had a BG55 after 4 years it's bearings went out and needed to be replaced I was sold the BG50 as though it was the same thing. BUT IT'S NOT, Where's the trigger lock, why no eyelets on the handle for a strap . Seems to only have about 2/3 the power of the BG55. Had I realized that these changes had been made I would not have bought this blower

All of my tables are now linked correctly and i am able to send all of my data from java to all of my tables. This problem i am having now is not really to do with sql, unless there is somthing in sql that can solve this problem. I have now set my Meet table up in my database rather than doing it through java. Now my problem lies with my Events table. This is how i am inserting into it (as i say, it will be changed to PreparedStatement)
String sql = "INSERT INTO tblEvent (Event_Name, Meet_ID) " +
"SELECT '"+ eveType2 + "', ID FROM tblMeet " +
"WHERE Meet_Name='Wembley'";
And heres how i insert into the rounds table
So say i insert the first load of data, say 100M Run and Round 1, it all goes through ok. Now i do my second load of data, say 100M Run and Round 2, this is where i have a problem. Now first time round, both INSERTS created a row. Second time round, INSERT INTO tblEvent creates another row as it still see's Meet_Name = "Wembley" from my tblMeet.Code:
String sql = "INSERT INTO tblRound (Round_Number, Event_ID) " +
"SELECT '"+ roundType2 + "', ID FROM tblEvent " +
"WHERE Event_Name='" + eveType2 + "'";
And then the second statement runs, and it has the line "WHERE Event_Name='" + eveType2 + "'";. Now this statement will see two rows where the Event_Name = 100M Run, and will create two new rows in its table for Round_2. So basically extra rows are being created. This is where i am having trouble. Whats the usual way to overcome this? Is there somthing i can do to tell it to only create one row each time ro should i instead do the data for these two tables in my database?
