Regular emails will be sent to you keeping you up to date on the progress of your order and when it is due to become active.

San Diego, Calif. -
The UC Santa Barbara men's soccer overcame a record-setting performance by San Diego State on Thursday night, defeating the Aztecs 3-1 on the road.
SDSU set a school record for the fastest goal to open a match, scoring on a breakaway by Enrique Tovar, 15 seconds into the contest to grab a 1-0 lead.
UCSB, however, did not waste much time evening things up. Defender Neil Jones scored on an assist by Dan Young at the 6:09 mark to knot the score, and then Big West Player of the Week, forward Rob Friend, scored unassisted at the 35:06 mark to give the Gauchos a 2-1 halftime advantage. Friend's goal proved to be the game-winner, as San Diego never scored again.
Senior Jaime Ambriz, playing for the first time this season, scored an insurance goal for UCSB at the 49:00 mark. He was assisted by freshman Drew McAthy. The score remained 3-1 the rest of the way.
Freshman goalkeeper Danny Kennedy recorded his third straight win for UCSB, and once again he was rarely threatened, needing just one save. The Gauchos outshot the Aztecs, 18-10. The match also proved to be quite physical as the teams combined for 47 fouls.
With the victory, UCSB improves to 3-0 on the year. San Diego State drops to 0-2-1.

DescriptionAs the name suggests, The Cycles simulates International Grand Prix Racing, allowing a player to compete against 9 computer rivals. Choose from three classes of bike (125, 250 and 500cc), and between 8 (Japan, Australia, USA, Spain, Italy, France,England and Sweden) and 15 (Japan, Australia, USA, Spain, Italy, Western Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Holland, Belgium, France, England, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Brazil) original tracks depending on the version, at five difficulty levels (with the lower ones offering automatic gear changes).
The player can enter single races (always including qualifying) or complete in a full season. The action is viewed from the handlebars of your bike, a novelty for motorcycle racing at the time. The game engine is similar to that used by Grand Prix Circuit, but now incorporates hills.

Boston area shaken by Marathon bomber manhunt, overjoyed with result
The hunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects came to a tense, clattering end Friday night in Watertown, Mass., as police converged on a covered powerboat in the back yard of one city resident.
"It was pop, pop, pop, pop," said Jimmy McDonald, 53, of Boston who was driving through the area. McDonald said he heard 12-15 shots. "They told us to get out of here."
"I was trying to go see if my brother was in his apartment, but when I heard the shots I froze and was told to move back behind the caution tape quickly." Javier Rosales, 32, of Belmont, Mass.
At about 8:40 p.m. Friday night the Boston police told bystanders that the suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was in custody, and the Boston area's weeklong ordeal appeared over.
On Mount Auburn Street, some of those gathered cheered and chanted "USA, USA." Others yelled and applauded the Boston Police Department as public-safety personnel and ambulances rode by after the capture. Police in the area cracked smiles for the first time in hours as the palpable tension dissipated.
"I was worried and afraid to go outside. Now it is back to peace and safety," said Lulu Zhang, 28, Watertown.
"Justice is always a good thing," said George Robinson, 42, an army recruiter who lives nearby to where the shootout was.
Nearly 24-hours earlier, Mark Tripp, of Watertown, said he heard an explosion he will never forget.
"It sounded like someone set off an M-80 or a firecracker," said Tripp, who lives near O'Connell Playground, a peaceful slice of the community.
Down the street bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, lay dying after a confrontation with police.
What began as a six-block manhunt for the second suspect, younger brother Dzhokhar, turned into a full lockdown for multiple Boston-area communities. The city's transit systems, airspace, taxi fleets and nearly all its businesses were shuttered.
By 7 a.m., the parking lot at the deserted Arsenal Mall became a center of law enforcement activity. Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority buses, parked end-to-end forming a barrier around the perimeter, were used to transport officers dressed in tactical gear and armed with high-powered weapons.
Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau ordered residents stay home and only answer the door for a properly uniformed law enforcement officer. Heavily armed officers went door-to-door searching for the suspect.
Matt Hohrath was sleeping in his School Street apartment Thursday night when his roommate woke him and told him about the shootout.
"My first thought was to lay flat on the floor," he said, in case stray bullets came through his window.
Military Humvees drove down his street. About 10 officers searched a house across the street and officers were hiding behind trees, he said.
Officers came to his door and asked if the suspect could have gotten into the house, Hohrath said.
When they said no, the officers left, but an hour later, police searched the property, checking the garage making sure all doors were locked.
"It definitely doesn't feel good, you kind of feel antsy because this guy could really be anywhere," Hohrath said. "It's comforting there's cops everywhere."
Resident Andy Scott should have been headed into Cambridge early Friday to attend classes at Lesley University. Instead, he was stuck in his Watertown apartment within the 20-block area where police searched for the suspect.
"You look outside and it looks like the apocalypse. It's so still, there is nothing going on," said Scott, who added the only movement he'd seen was two police officers on his street.
"It's crazy to think that such a peaceful residential area is just totally on complete lockdown," he said. "You don't think that something could happen here."
Matt Stubey, 29, an alumnus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's graduate program in chemical engineering, woke up Friday at Norfolk Street to 14 text messages from the college's alert services warning of gunfire and potential bombs.
But that was a minor shock compared to what Stubey learned next -- "My house is on TV."
Stubey said when the news broke about where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev -- the lone surviving suspect -- lived, the landlord of 410 Norfolk, a woman he called Joanna, rushed outside screaming "That's my house! That's my house! That's my house!"
She was then picked up by an FBI vehicle, according to Stubey.
Erik Goodrich was evacuated from his 396 Norfolk St. apartment.
"It's a nice area," Goodrich said. "Pretty quiet -- nothing ever goes on. Famous last words."
Other nearby residents described the area as "a tight-knit neighborhood," where "everybody knows everybody else and has one another's backs."
Cambridge Police Officer John Callinan reinforced the impression, poking fun at onlookers and referring to them by name as police cordoned off the block.
Hours later, near the corner of Norfolk and Cambridge streets, Maxine Samuels, 52, watched law enforcement come and go.
"I don't know what to do with myself," she said. "This was supposed to be my day off to rest, but I can't sleep."
She works at the MIT building where a police officer was shot dead Thursday night.
"I won't be going to work now," Samuels said. "I just can't do it."
Copley Square
At the memorial that has formed on Boylston Street at the intersection with Berkeley Street, Minneapolis native Dick Adair took satisfaction in Dzhokar Tsarnaev's arrest.
"We can find out what his motives were and he can explain himself in court to the best of his ability," he said, so justice can be served. "It doesn't go any good to take his life because he took lives."
In the minutes following news that the suspect was in custody, Matt Karolian, of Boston, was hanging the American flag on barricades yards from the finish line of the marathon that has now become a crime scene.
Karolian was at a nearby bar where he had the flag with him in anticipation that the second bombing suspect would be captured Friday night after watching the news.
He said this was the most appropriate time to use the flag.
"It's a sign of hope. The American flag has always been a sign of hope and there's never been a stronger message than that," he said.
Kyoko Yamamoto, who works at Brigham and Women's Hospital where many victims were treated after Monday's marathon, joined Karolian, saying she came down to the memorial site because she was stuck inside all day.
Earlier on Friday, the name of Sean Collier, the MIT police officer killed late Thursday night, joined those of the three other victims -- Krystle Campbell, Martin Richard and Lingzi Lu -- on the memorial.
"I just felt like it was necessary and important," said Rebecca Johnson, a Boston resident and Bunker Hill Community College communications student.
She appeared to be the first to add Collier's name, which she drew on a sign she taped to the sidewalk. She covered it with plastic wrap so it wouldn't be ruined in case of rain.
Eric Zaccone and Alexa Lunderman, both visiting from Morgantown, W.Va., for a biology conference, were walking along the chic Newbury Street shopping district in the Back Bay, looking for a place to eat but finding no luck.
Despite this week's events, they made the flight to Boston Friday morning.
"Police seem like they have everything safe," Zaccone said. "It definitely wasn't a deterrent to coming here."
A family of six from Maryland -- part of a group of 25 from Maryland and Virginia -- didn't cancel their plans to attend a Red Sox game Saturday and a Bruins game Sunday. They defied the order to stay inside, walking on Huntington Avenue, a block south of Boylston Street.
"We weren't deterred," said Phil Flores, who was with his wife, Melissa, and four children, ages 7 to 13. "Nothing could keep us from coming up here."
Reported by Grant Welker, Sarah Favot and Lyle Moran of The Lowell Sun, Jennifer Swift and Evan Lips of the New Haven Register, Philip Demers of the North Adams Transcript.

Editors note: Get Growing, written by the La Plata County Extension Offices Master Gardener Program, appears every other week during the growing season. It features timely tips and suggestions for your garden and landscape.
By Darrin PArmenter
After decades of the La Plata County Fair, never in its history has the theme been more directed toward fruits, vegetables and flowers.
OK, maybe thats a stretch. But the 2012 theme Sew It, Grow It, Show It is one of many reasons why you all should bring in your prized horticultural treasures this year.
Floriculture entries will be accepted from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. All entries annuals, perennials, gladiolus, roses (of course) and much more must be grown by the exhibitor and should be free of insects. Floral designs will also be accepted but preregistration is highly recommended. Call me at 382-6464 for more information.
Fruits, vegetables and field crops will also be accepted from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday. There seems to be a category for almost everything we can grow here (and maybe even some we cant) and similar to the flowers. Please try to bring entries that are free of insects and disease. Every year, we get numerous vegetable displays, and an insider gave me a heads-up that the displays have pretty good odds of winning the distinction of Grand Champion.
For the kids, and even some adults, we also have creative categories to enter. Vegetable creations (think Mr. Potato Head) and scarecrows have their own category. They are a great way to keep the kids occupied during the waning weeks before school starts. There also are junior categories, including design, in the Floriculture open class.
Even if you dont have, or dont want to part with, horticultural treasures, make sure you visit the Horticulture and Floriculture display room (upstairs in the La Plata Room, above the Exhibit Hall). We promise it will be the coolest (both literally and figuratively), brightest and maybe even the best smelling part of the La Plata County Fair.

酒店所在地 达勒姆
Bursting with historical attractions and modern delights, Durham welcomes visitors with open arms! Enjoy views of spectacular Durham Cathedral and the quaint Old Town from the luxury Radisson Blu Hotel. Just minutes from the hotel you'll find great shopping and top attractions such as Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral, while the award-winning Bowes Museum is just outside the city.
If anyone in Durham mentions cows there is a splendid reason for it. According to legend Durham owes its very location to a cow. Apparently a milkmaid who had lost her cow bumped into the pall bearers of Saint Cuthbert, who were searching for Dun Holm (Durham) after Saint Cuthbert's spirit asked to be taken there. The milkmaid, still in search of her cow, led them to the spot where Durham Cathedral sits today - and so the city was founded in 995AD. On the south side of the cathedral you'll find a stone carving depicting this moment.
Durham's religious importance means it has been a stronghold for the north of England for centuries and it was often a great point of defence against Scottish invasions. In more recent times Durham was a successful mining town and it worked its coal mines until the 1970s when the pits were eventually closed. Today the city is famed for its beauty and historic buildings – there are more than 600 listed buildings and the view up the hill of the UNESCO World Heritage cathedral and 11th century Norman castle from the River Wear is wonderful. This is also where the University of Durham is housed - an extraordinary location and one which makes the city even more popular with young people.
Visitors enjoy walks along the river which winds and curves creating a peninsula of land where the old town lies. From the Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham it's easy to stroll into town. Some of the bridges between the peninsula and the rest of the city are worth a look from Elvet Bridge with its medieval craftsmanship, to Prebends Bridge with its pretty stone arches and great photo opportunities of the woodlands and the cathedral. Even the 1960s Kingsgate Bridge is striking against the city's historic backdrop. It's a hilly city but you'll soon forget tired legs as you become immersed in Durham's pretty cobbled streets, soaking up the lively atmosphere, enjoying the street music, popping into boutique shops, cafes and market places. If you need a break from the activity, a good place to relax and take it all in is Palace Green, in front of the cathedral and castle, or for pure English serenity head to Crook Hall, a 13th century house well known for its cream teas served in the delightful gardens.
5 things to do in Durham
Durham is a city bursting with opportunity and action and it can be hard to decide what to do first. We've chosen five things for you to experience while you're here.
- Search for the cows! Cows are an important part of Durham's history and legend has it that one cow actually took part in the founding of the city – look for images and engravings of cows – a good place to start is at the cathedral. See how many Durham cows you can find!
- Have a look around the World Heritage site of Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral where the university proudly sits. These fantastic structures overlook the medieval part of the city and the River Wear as it winds around the land hugging the city closely to its banks.
- After exploring the castle and the cathedral relax in the grass and wooded area of Palace Green below. Have a picnic and admire the views.
- For something a little bit different you could explore the collections in Durham's Oriental Museum. This building is crammed full of awesome artefacts from Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, as well as exhibitions from other worldwide archaeological sites.
- In the evening you could relax with a couple of drinks in one of the many friendly drinking holes but beware on your way back to the hotel you could bump into one of Durham's ghosts. There's the Grey Lady of Durham Castle (the wife of the Bishop of Durham) who fell to her death down the 'black staircase' in the castle, or the ghost of the Gypsy Piper who plays the pipe on Elvet Bridge at midnight… To get the most out of a spooky visit take a ghost tour.
When you're staying in Durham you will immediately know where the heart of the city lies. On a hill overlooking a pretty bend of the River Wear is Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral – a World Heritage Site since 1986. These buildings are part of the university and they are surrounded by both the urban, with the students and tourists, and the natural world with the woods, river and lush oasis of Palace Green.
Durham Castle was built in 1072 under orders from William the Conqueror and over the years the castle has seen lots of modifications. It's is a great place to see how history has unfolded in the city – from the Norman chapel to the 15th Century Great Hall and the Keep, which was built in 1840. Take a guided tour and let yourself be transported back to the times of knights, invasions, bloody wars and heavy armour.
Once you've explored the dramatic past of the city's castle head to Durham Cathedral for a look around. It attracts around 600,000 people a year to admire its Romanesque architecture and learn of its own place in history. Its beginnings were a bit later than the castle (1093) and it is known for its fine examples of monastic buildings. Its life as a monastery came to a grim end when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in the 16th Century (you can read about life before this turbulent time in The Rites of Durham at the cathedral). Today you can still see relics from the Anglo Saxons, and evidence of architectural additions, such as the stained glass windows shining down on the congregation. A joy to explore and a vital part of Durham's foundation.

Billionaire Wilbur Ross's auto supplier International Automotive Components Group SA is delaying its initial public offering until 2014, two people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg.
The individuals asked not to be identified discussing private information.
International Automotive was seeking as much as $115 million in an IPO of the Luxembourg-based auto-parts supplier, according to a June filing. The amount is a placeholder used to determine registration fees. The company previously shelved an initial offering in 2011 amid market turmoil in the U.S. and Europe, two people familiar with the matter said at the time.
"We're at the end of a very strong year and investment managers are not going to do anything unless there's something that looks like a pretty sure bet right now," Kathy Smith, principal at the IPO investment adviser and research firm Renaissance Capital LLC in Greenwich, Conn., said in an interview. Companies that may offer lower growth prospects "will be easier to sell when we roll over the calendar."
The delay follows the postponement of a planned IPO of Chrysler Group LLC. The automaker majority owned by Fiat SpA, pushed its share offering to next year in order to address a tax issue, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Ross, who built his fortune buying bankrupt steel, coal and textile companies, assembled International Automotive through takeovers starting in 2006. The company, which makes instrument displays, door panels and headliners, reported a loss of $38 million in 2012, according to the company's S-1 filing.
International Automotive employs about 27,000 people in 19 countries. General Motors Co. accounted for 17 percent of its 2012 sales, as did Fiat and Chrysler collectively, the filing showed. Tata Motors Ltd.'s Jaguar and Land Rover units made up 15 percent, while Ford Motor Co. contributed 12 percent.
David Ladd, an International Automotive spokesman, declined to comment.
While based in Luxembourg, International Automotive's North American and Asian operations are run out of suburban Detroit.
Bank of America Corp. is leading the offering with Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co. also serving as underwriters.
IAC ranks No. 45 on the Automotive News list of the top 100 global supp

Why should you hire a web designer?
Your website is often the first thing your customers see when they're searching for a business or service on the web. As the face of your organization, your website needs to be attractive and functional, offering the latest features that users now expect. To plan and design a site that both reflects your company's mission and values and appeals to customers takes a professional web designer. While free online services can help people set up websites, web designers can provide a unique solution made specifically to meet customers' personal or business needs.
Most web designers offer a wide variety of services to make your website aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. Modern web design must be mobile-friendly and scalable, capable of expanding to include a blog, social media sites, and even video streaming; web designers are experts at integrating various web technologies. They can build the site, add functionality, test it, launch it on a live server, and track and maintain its performance.
In addition to web design and graphic design, some web design providers also offer development and security services, including search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing and management, logo design, site maintenance, domain registration and hosting, protection against malware, and digital marketing and content services.
What makes a good logo design?
A good logo is an easily identifiable, memorable image that represents your brand. A good logo design aligns with your business model and expresses your company's core values. A good logo design is simple, appealing, and easy for customers and viewers to quickly process. Some of the key components of a great logo are type, color palette and design. The scale, font and arrangement of the text you select will all make a difference in the feel and representation of your brand. A graphic designer will help you home in on the colors that best represent your identity and help you keep the color palette simple. The design of your logo includes the shapes you select and the way the color and type are arranged together. Investing in the services of a professional to create your logo design is likely a smart investment for any size business. Nationally, the average price range for a logo designer ranges from $170 to $250.
What should you look for in a website designer?
A professional web designer creates the look and feel of your website, collaborating with you to choose colors, creating logos and other branding materials, establishing page layouts, and creating sample pages. An important part of web design is making sure the site is functional, meets your goals, and is easy for users to navigate. When you're looking to hire a web designer, start by reviewing the person's portfolio. Look for samples of work that match what you envision for your website, including experience building the types of pages or features you want. Make sure the web designer is familiar with your industry and understands both industry trends and web design trends — an old-fashioned or out-of-touch site will turn customers away rather than intrigue them.
Because web designers tend to work as freelancers on a project basis, they must be excellent communicators, willing to manage their own work, and available on your schedule. Some critical skills, such as working collaboratively and responding enthusiastically to feedback, aren't core to good web design, but make working with a web designer much easier. Finally, look for a web designer who has cross-functional knowledge, such as understanding marketing and conversion rate optimization in addition to web design.
How much do web designers charge?
The average cost for hiring a web designer varies greatly depending on the scope of the work, which may range from building a site from scratch to rebranding an existing one, as well as the amount of content and graphics the designer will create. In general, the more complex the project, the more time the design agency will have to spend. Because web designers often work on an hourly basis, the longer the project, the higher the costs; you can count on the web designer spending at minimum 10 hours to create a very basic website with just a handful of pages with few elements. Prices also depend on the designer's skill set, the process, and the company's rates. In general, the national average cost for a basic website package starts at $500, but a customized website can cost as much as $2,000 or more. Here are typical average hourly rates, broken out by the complexity of the work:
- Basic layout and user interface: $15-$40 per hour
- Content management system design: $20-$50 per hour
- Custom website design with custom code: $45-$75 per hour
How much does it cost to create a logo?
Logo design is an important part of your company's brand development. More than an image with text and color, a logo communicates the tone and personality of your company to your potential customers. Hiring a graphic designer with an appealing portfolio and quality reviews is a solid start to creating a winning logo design. The cost to create a logo can depend on how in-depth the marketing and design services you request are. Designers can create one logo in multiple formats (horizontal, vertical, etc.) to fit both your website and social media platforms, they can create a variety of designs for clients to select from, or they can create multiple logos for one client who needs branding for more than one venture. Logos may be text-only, text and image, or image-only. Many designers and design firms charge by the hour for their services, while other companies offer packages bundled with design services. Here are some examples of cost:
- National average cost to hire a logo designer: $170-$250.
- Average hourly rate for a freelance marketing consultant: about $150.
- Tiered pricing for logo design packages from one firm:
- Package One: $200 for three logo concepts, three rounds of revision, and a variety of format and color end designs.
- Package Two: $350 for 10 logo concepts, unlimited rounds of revision, and a variety of format and color end designs.
- Package Three: $550 for everything included in the Package Two, plus business card design, letterhead design, social media graphics and an email signature.
- Package Four: $850 for everything in the Package Three, plus custom brand guidelines, which outline a strategy for creating a consistent branding in the client's business.

June 25, 2019, 1:36 pmRob PelinkaTeam, Los Angeles Lakers
Lakers owner Jeanie Buss said she has, "100 percent confidence in (GM) Rob Pelinka."
For all the bashing the Lakers franchise has taken in the media, and all the stories about dysfunction and deceit in the front office, the team is right where they want to be and right where they promised to be last summer. The Lakers have LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and cap room to bring in another max player or depth to build around the two superstars. For everything negative that has been said and reported on the franchise, if the team can deliver on the court next season everything about the team's perception will change in an instant. Free agency opens next week and the Lakers hold the keys to the offseason.

July 18, 2019, 8:11 pmTristan ThompsonC, Cleveland Cavaliers
Tristan Thompson will not play for Canada in the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
This seems like a situation where Thompson is not participating to prepare for the grind of the NBA season in the fall. There was always some uncertainty with his participation but he was among the invitees to Team Canada training camp.

July 18, 2019, 5:40 pmCameron ReynoldsPG, Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have signed Cameron Reynolds to a two-way deal.
Reynolds played in 19 games with the Wolves as a rookie after playing for five years at Tulane University. As he moves to the Bucks, expect him to continue to compete for the opportunity to be a backup point guard in the NBA. With the Bucks entering next season as title contenders, there is no room for Reynolds in the fantasy landscape.

July 18, 2019, 4:39 pmJavonte GreenF, Boston Celtics
Javonte Green will join the Celtics on a partially guaranteed contract.
After a strong Summer League performance where he averaged 10.8 ppg on 50% shooting, Green will get an opportunity to fight for a roster spot for the Celtics. He most recently played overseas in Germany.

The Pacers have signed Amida Brimah to a one-year contract.
The seven-foot big man, Bridah, has had a couple short stints with the Spurs but has yet to play in a game. Expect him to compete for a roster spot come training camp but there are no guarantees that he will make the final roster.

July 18, 2019, 3:04 pmDaniel TheisPF, Boston Celtics
The Celtics have officially re-signed Daniel Theis and Brad Wanamaker.
The team rescinded their qualifying offer to Theis in a procedural move to maximize cap space, but he's back in Boston on a two-year, $10 million deal. He'll be battling for backup center minutes and his shooting ability (38.8 percent from deep last season on low volume) could set him apart from the rest of Boston's frontcourt options. As a player who can knock down threes and pick up some steals and blocks, there's deep-league potential for Theis should he end up pushing for something like 20 mpg. Wanamaker decided to pass on larger offers from European teams to return to the Celtics, where he may have a better shot at minutes with Terry Rozier out of the picture. Even so, he's not a fantasy target.

July 18, 2019, 2:05 pmThanasis AntetokounmpoSF, Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have made their signing of Thanasis Antetokounmpo official.
Antetokounmpo is believed to be on a two-year deal that is fully guaranteed for the veteran's minimum. Antetokounmpo has just two NBA appearances to his name, both coming back in 2016 with the Knicks. It's unlikely that he'll play much, if at all, though at least he'll get to hang with his MVP little brother.

July 18, 2019, 1:59 pmRondae Hollis-JeffersonSF, Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have announced the signing of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
Hollis-Jefferson had a tough season in Brooklyn, suffering an offseason adductor strain and then falling out of the rotation when he was ready to play. The Raptors will take a one-year flier on a player that can capably defend multiple positions while bringing great energy, and he'll fit in with the team's defensive identity. RHJ is only a year removed from being a top-100 fantasy player but it's unlikely that he holds standard-league value in a reserve role for Toronto. Deep-league managers can consider Hollis-Jefferson a late-round flier.

July 18, 2019, 1:41 pmKelly Oubre Jr.SF, Phoenix Suns
The Suns have officially re-signed Kelly Oubre.
Oubre is headed back to Phoenix on a two-year, $30 million deal and lost out on a bigger payday as teams alternately gobbled up cap space or played a long waiting game in free agency, leaving one of the top RFAs on the board to settle for a deal that clocks in below expectations. Oubre missed the end of the season because of thumb surgery but blossomed in Phoenix, averaging 16.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 3s on .453 shooting. That was good for top-50 value, and while that might be too lofty to expect a repeat without some breaks (the efficiency is a definite question mark), it's clear that Oubre is finally on a team that will commit to his future and there will be enough playing time to make him a late-middle round option in fantasy drafts.

July 18, 2019, 1:37 pmDavid NwabaSF, Brooklyn Nets
The Nets have announced the signing of David Nwaba.
Nwaba will head to Brooklyn on a two-year deal after bouncing around over his first three NBA seasons. It's a nice pickup for the Nets, who will get a hard-nosed forward that's capable of defending and rebounding with tenacity. Nwaba's poor shooting might not do him favors in Brooklyn's system, but he's the type of hustle player that coaches tend to like. Expect him to play a part in Kenny Atkinson's deep rotation, though fantasy value is probably out of the question when everyone is healthy.

July 18, 2019, 12:42 pmJR SmithSG, Cleveland Cavaliers
J.R. Smith will meet with the Bucks on Thursday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
This is the first team other than the Lakers, who have already been deemed an unlikely landing spot, to be connected to Smith. Milwaukee is looking for another wing shooter and Smith would fit the bill in a perfect world, though it's unlikely that he would play a major role for any team after sitting out since November.

The working subtitle of this post is . . . you can lead an OB to the table, but can you keep him/her from cutting??
Here are some of my favorite tweets from the Saturday morning sessions. (And as I look at the 300+ conference tweets paused in twitterfall this morning, the day after, I realize there may not be a part 2 . . . kind of like History of the World!)
Disclaimer: Since I collated these posts from a public feed reader, I have not asked permission to repost them. OPs may request their tweets be removed and are welcomed to clarify their tweets in the comments section.)
Regarding breech:
BirthingKristen "Women should have the right, the support, and the resources to choose their own set of risks." #vaginalbreech #ICAN2011
I do believe this, but gee, it's hard to achieve especially when you involve birth attendants, regulations, insurance, hospitals, even birth centers, etc. I'm afraid to say that the fact is that women will never fully have the right to choose their own set of risks unless they birth on their own.
DeepSouthDoula Vaginal breech birth is in our reach but it's up to the parents to make it happen. Like the parents who walked out 1 hour prior. #ICAN2011
Again, somewhat idealistic. In my case, I knew I'd be trying to fight my provider's malpractice insurance . . . me . . . alone. I'm not saying there aren't things we can't and shouldn't do, but realistically many, if not most, families are not going to fight the system one hour before giving birth. And they shouldn't be made to feel like failures because they didn't fight this overwhelming machine.
ShannonMitchell GT: breech birth is a part of the traditions midwifery #ican2011 #breech
Yes it is. Isn't it a shame that it's often not in the current scope of practice for traditional midwifery?
DoulaMari: "Mama loves you enough to have you at home even though you were breech!" #ican2011
This just hurts my feelings. I know the statement had nothing to do with me or my choice to consent to a CBAC for double footling breech twins and that it's excerpted from an emotionally powerful experience, but it still cuts like a knife. Actually, it feels like a repetitive cut to the same wound that refuses to heal.
drpoppyBHRT When docs tell midwives, "you can't do that" is it really because THEY can't do that? #vaginalbreech #normalbirthignorance #ICAN2011
Nice. Yes, I think a lot of the time it does mean that. They haven't been trained to trust the body's wisdom; they've been trained to search for pathology and treat that pathology. Even the NIH VBAC consensus report indicates that younger doctors may be more resistant to VBACs because they were trained during a time when VBAC was (is) so highly contentious.
heathertom Tully: the question may be Is the attendant safe? #ICAN2011 #vaginalbreech
Absolutely. I personally would be more afraid to show up at the hospital pushing out a breech baby if I didn't know that the doctor on the receiving end was experienced with breech. In fact, I'm of the opinion that in my community it may be irresponsible to show up at my hospital with a vaginal breech. It hasn't been part of the local practice – obstetrics or midwifery – for more than 10 years.
poderyparto Breech: 80% no intervention needed at all, 20% need maneuvering. #CAM2011 #ICAN2011
In other words . . . HANDS OFF THE BREECH!
drpoppyBHRT OBs in Germany and Israel are working to unite midwives and OBs to increase vaginal breech birth. I love that! #kneechest #ICAN2011
This is wonderful to know. We should be pointing to these case studies every chance we get. This will help us as we advocate for evidence-based care.
Other awesome tweets: (before I fell off the wagon)
drpoppyBHRT: Midwives told to stop doing #VBACs, they responded "when you stop doing cesareans." Gail Tully #ICAN2011
MamaBear1326 Why am I lucky enough to live where I achieved a vba2c and some people dont have that option #breaksmyheart #ican2011
Many women don't feel they have the option to birth their babies. This is so sad. The fact is that women have fundamental rights. No one can force you to consent to a surgery. And even ACOG's 2005 committee opinion supports protecting these rights:
"Efforts to use the legal system to protect the fetus by constraining pregnant women's decision making or punishing them erode a woman's basic rights to privacy and bodily integrity and are not justified." (via birthaftercesarean)
Unnecesarean Dr. Poppy Daniels: "Women who really want a vaginal birth can go to extremes to get it." (No kidding) #ICAN2011
And we will.
ICANofAtlanta How many ob-gyns have not read the latest ACOG practice bulletin on VBAC, not to mention the NIH consensus? #ican2011 #hcsm @drpoppybhrt
. . . and won't acknowledge that local practice should change to reflect the bulletin and NIH findings. This is why I'm sending letters to all local OBs. I'm done with their fear mongering and lies.

mollytoba I keep hearing about better integration of midwifery and OBGYN care. Who is actually doing this? Any successful models? #ICAN2011
Someone did respond to this, but I can't find the tweet. She mentioned some place in LA (which I can't remember if refers to Louisiana or Los Angeles!). But that was the only 'successful model' response I read.
DeepSouthDoula Exploring birth trauma in mamas AND with birth professionals. What we witness can be traumatic for us too. #ICAN2011
I may have to dedicate a post to this. Birth professionals who experience trauma need to be treated!!! Please refrain from bringing your trauma into future births.

blairlovesjason Glad @drpoppybhrt discusses the harm in shows like Deliver Me, A Baby Story, etc. Means a lot coming from a professional. #ican2011
Totally! I didn't know any better and was watching these shows in 2004 when I was pregnant with DD1. It made me afraid of the cesarean, but it didn't do anything to help me (or encourage) me to prevent it. It was like watching a car wreck in progress, over and over and over again. Dammit, and then I wrecked my 'car.'
ShannonMitchell Acnm says they are working on revised vbac statement addressing "immediately available" #birthaction #ican2011
Very good news. The ACNM needs to step up and not hide behind 'big brother.'

I trust this to be true, but it would be so helpful if MANA would release the data. People want to see it. I want to see it. MANA hold plenty of statistics that to my knowledge are not publicly accessible. It's a shame.
mollytoba Ida Darreagh of NARM: the safest place for a woman to give birth is where she feels strong, supported and capable. #ICAN2011
Absolutely. This is why I try to be super careful when talking with mamas who have different ideas about where to birth. Everyone should feel safe giving birth. It doesn't ensure a perfect outcome, but it's still important to respect one another's decisions.
DeepSouthDoula Don't feed the trolls! Seriously not worth it. As @unmarketing says – you are not the jackass whisperer. #ICAN2011 AND seeKJtweet Ok who said Beetlejuice? #ICAN2011
Oh my. There is a persistent non-practicing OB with too much time on her hands who just hates natural birth advocacy. She has quite a cult following. I used to go to her blogs thinking there was something possibly to learn there . . . but it's just so polemic that I realized I was wasting my time and scaring myself in the process.
RobinPregnancy Every state needs to look at the safe transport bill for home births. #ican2011
And where do I go to find that? Over to Google. Searched ["home birth" "safe transport" legislation] which didn't come up with much. But I did find that a bill is working its way through the Illinois General Assembly. Have a look! I found this as a result of reading this action alert from the Chicago-area homebirth meet-up group.

ICPL has a number of services for those who are unable to come to the library. Among these are libraries maintained by the Community & Access Services department (CAS). As Outreach Assistant in CAS, part of my job is sending books to various retirement residences and social service agencies in the area. I also get to choose the books that are sent: this is the equivalent of turning a chocolate fanatic loose in a Godiva store and telling them their job is to pick out the best candies.
The Deposit Collection program, for instance, involves choosing books from ICPL's large print collection, both fiction and nonfiction, which are then delivered by our Maintenance staff to participating retirement residences. It's a great way for the residences to enhance their library collections with a regular supply of new titles. Each location has a designated staffperson or resident who is responsible for overseeing their library, keeping track of books and gathering them up at the end of the nine-week checkout period. Our Maintenance staff then collects the books and delivers a new batch at the same time.
In addition to the Deposit Collection libraries, where the books are on loan from ICPL's collection, there are sites whose libraries we stock and maintain; individuals who are mailed items through our At Home program; and collections–such as the Iowa Teen Award books–we provide to area agencies with young adult populations. Our Children's department also maintains collections at several Outreach libraries.

The girls have both been studying the Chinese New Year in school so I thought it would be fun to have our own little celebration at home last night. Ella wanted to make dumplings and when she mentioned it, I remembered a Steamed Dumpling recipe in one of my cookbooks that I wanted to try. The recipe uses refrigerated dough which makes things pretty easy – especially if you have little ones eagerly helping you.
This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks. This is a double volume from Susan Branch that combines her "Heart of the Home" and "Vineyard Seasons" cookbooks into one book. It has some great recipes including the herb roasted chicken I prepared over the summer.
So, for our Chinese New Year celebration, the girls helped to make these dumplings. Taylor cut the dough into little squares and Ella helped to measure the ingredients that go into the pork filling. They both helped to scoop the dough into little balls and seal up the dumplings into little purses. We had fun sealing them up and we ended with many different shapes and sizes.
We also had some steamed fish in a black bean and sake sauce which I will post tomorrow. Jim went to our local Chinese restaurant and got some fried rice and fortune cookies. For our veggie we steamed some snow peas. I decided that I love steamed snow peas so we need to do that more often. I also bought some lemon and gingersnap ice cream from Trader Joe's which I highly recommend if you have a TJ's nearby….it is wonderful. The only thing I think we were missing were some noodles (for longevity) but we really didn't need them – we were stuffed after this meal!
I tried to talk Jim into lighting off some fireworks, but no such luck. Next year I might try being more proactive and get some red envelopes to put money in and maybe some noisemakers or something festive like that. Maybe we will take a trip to our Asian market to pick up some party favors.
I learned that really you are supposed to serve your steamed fish (or chicken) whole on Chinese New Year. Apparently serving fish already cup up is bad luck….oh well…hopefully we will be ok.
This is really a great recipe. The pork mixture is perfect and the dough works really well in this. They weren't beautiful, but I can partly attribute that to having two little helpers. They did taste like the ones you get in the restaurants so that is a good thing. I also made a dipping sauce that tasted pretty close to what you would get in a restaurant.
If you are looking for a fun and easy recipe, you still have a day left before the Chinese New Year (January 23rd) to make these. I wish you prosperity going into the new year – that is Gong Xi Fa Ca in Chinese.
Easy Steamed Dumplings - for Chinese New Year
- 2 Tubes refrigerated dinner rolls I used the Pillsbury Dough Rolls - I think it's something new...could also prob use the pizza dough if you can't find either
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 Tablespoons minced green onion
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste I added this
- 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts
- freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 c. dark soy sauce
- 3 slices ginger minced
- 2 tsp. Oriental sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/3 c. rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. chili oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Whatever dough you are using - flatten it out and cut into 4" squares or circles. Mix next 8 ingredients (through the salt) well. Put about 1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons of pork mixture in the center of each piece of dough. gather up the sides so they meet in the middle. Twist top to close tightly. Put a damp cloth in the top part of a vegetable steamer and put the dumplings on the cloth about an inch apart from each other. Steam over boiling water for about 20 minutes (we had to do this in batches.) Serve with dipping sauce
- TO MAKE DIPPING SAUCE: Mix remaining ingredients well and let sit at least 10 minutes.

Dynabeads Sheep anti-Rat IgG in combination with any primary rat IgG antibody are ideal for depletion or positive isolation of cells from different species (e.g., mouse) depending on the specificity of the primary antibody. Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC suspensions, or tissue digests.
Principle of Isolation
The primary rat IgG antibody is either added to the cell sample (indirect technique) or pre-coated onto the beads (direct technique) prior to cell isolation. Dynabeads are then mixed with the cell sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the bead-bound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Positive isolation – discard the supernatant and use the bead-bound cells for downstream applications (e.g., molecular analysis, cell culture).
- Depletion – discard the bead-bound cells and use the remaining, untouched cells for any application.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads Sheep anti-Rat IgG are uniform, superparamagnetic polystyrene beads (4.5 μm diameter) coated with polyclonal Sheep anti-Rat IgG antibodies. Cross-reactivity to mouse antibodies is high and cross-reactivity to human antibodies is minimal.
Materials Supplied
- 5 ml Dynabeads Sheep anti-Rat IgG 4 x 108 beads/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.02% sodium azide (NaN3).
- This product will process up to 2 x 109 cells.
Additional Material Required
- Magnet: (Dynal MPC™) - MPC-S for 20 μl to 2 ml samples, MPC-L for 1-8 ml samples, MPC-15 for 1-15 ml samples and MPC-50 for 15-50 ml samples.
- Mixer allowing both tilting and rotation.
- Buffer 1: PBS (without Ca2+ and Mg2+) w/0.1% BSA and 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.4.
Important Notes:
BSA can be replaced by human serum albumin (HSA) or fetal calf serum (FCS). EDTA can be replaced by sodium citrate. PBS containing Ca2+ or Mg2+ is not recommended.
Dynabeads Washing Procedure
Dynabeads should be washed before use. The washing procedure is facilitated by the use of a magnet.
1. Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
2. Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
3. Add the same volume of Buffer 1, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
4. Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
5. Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Sample Preparation
Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC suspensions, or tissue digests. Please visit www.lifetechnologies.com/samplepreparation for a list of recommended sample preparation procedures.
Critical Steps for Cell Isolation
Use a mixer that provides tilting and rotation of the tubes to ensure Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube. When incubating Dynabeads and cells, the incubation temperature must be 2–8°C to reduce phagocytic activity and other metabolic processes. Never use less than 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads per ml cell sample and at least 4 Dynabeads per target cell.
Table 1: Volume of Dynabeads added per ml of cell sample. The volumes can be scaled up as required.
|Positive isolation
|Sample volume (1 x 107 cells/ml*)
|1 ml Max 2.5 x 106
target cells
|1 ml Max 2.5 x 106
target cells
|Volume of Dynabeads
|25 μl
|50 μl
* If the concentration of cells is increased or the target cell concentration exceeds 2.5 x 106, the Dynabeads volume must be increased accordingly. Cell concentration can be up to 1 x 108cells per ml.
Cell Isolation - Indirect Technique
Labeling Cells with Rat IgG Antibodies
Use approximately 1 μg antibody per 106 target cells.
- Recommended cell concentration: 1 x 107 cells/ml.
1. Add rat IgG antibodies to the cell suspension and mix.
2. Incubate for 20 min at 2–8°C.
3. Wash the cells by adding 2 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107 cells and centrifuge at 300 x g for 8 min. Discard the supernatant.
4. Resuspend the cells in Buffer 1 at 1 x 107 cells/ ml.
5. Proceed to Isolation or Depletion of Cells.
Isolation or Depletion of Cells
1. Add Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to Table 1.
2. Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2–8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
3. Double the volume with Buffer 1 to limit trapping of unbound cells (optional).
4. Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
5. Depletion: Transfer the supernatant containing the unbound cells to a fresh tube for further experiments.
6. Positive isolation: Discard the supernatant and gently wash the bead-bound cells 4 times, using the following procedure:
i) Add 1 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107 Dynabeads.
ii) Place the tube in the magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
7. Resuspend the cells in buffer/medium for downstream application.
Cell Isolation – Direct Technique
Pre-coating Dynabeads
- Use 0.5 – 1.5 μg rat IgG antibodies per 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads. (It is recommended to titrate the amount of antibody.)
1. Transfer washed Dynabeads to a tube.
2. Add rat IgG antibodies.
3. Incubate for ≥ 30 minutes at 2-8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
4. Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
5. Wash the beads twice using 2 ml of Buffer 1.
6. Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the Dynabeads in the same volume Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Isolation or Depletion of Cells
1. Add the pre-coated Dynabeads to the cells according to Table 1.
2. Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2–8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
3. Double the volume with Buffer 1 to limit trapping of unbound cells (optional).
4. Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
5. Depletion: Transfer the supernatant containing the unbound cells to a fresh tube for further experiments.
6. Positive isolation: Discard the supernatant and gently wash the bead-bound cells 4 times, using the following procedure:
i) Add 1 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107 Dynabeads.
ii) Place the tube in the magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
7. Resuspend the cells in buffer/medium for downstream application.
Indirect versus Direct Technique
Use the indirect technique when:
- A cocktail of rat IgG antibodies is used.
- Very high depletion efficiency is needed.
- The affinities of rat IgG antibodies are low.
- The cells express low number of target antigens.
- The direct technique gives unsatisfactory purity.
The direct technique may be used if:
- The affinity of the primary antibody is high.
- The cells express a high number of target antigens.
- A stock preparation of primary coated Dynabeads is desired.
Antibody Selection
The choice of primary antibody is the most important factor for successful cell isolation. Note that some antibodies may show reduced antigen-binding efficiency when coated onto beads (direct technique), even though the antibody shows good results in other immunological assays.
Labeling Cells with Rat IgG Antibodies
- To avoid non-specific binding of cells (e.g., monocytes, B cells), add aggregated IgG to block Fc receptors prior to adding the primary antibodies.
- Excess antibody must be removed by washing before cell isolation.
Isolation and Depletion of Target Cells
- Remove density gradient media (e.g., Ficoll): Wash cells prior to adding rat IgG antibodies or Dynabeads.
- Remove soluble factors in serum: Serum may contain soluble factors (e.g., antibodies or cell surface antigens), which can interfere with the cell isolation protocol. Washing the cells once may reduce this interference.
Invitrogen Dynal AS complies with the Quality System Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

As Sean posted yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its rather short opinion in Los Angeles County Flood Control District v. NRDC. Rather unsurprisingly, the Court ruled that water that flows from an improved (channelized) portion of a river to an unimproved portion of that same river cannot be considered a "discharge of pollutants" under the Clean Water Act. No party nor amicus, to my knowledge, argued otherwise. The Court asked and answered a question with which no one disagreed.
So why take on this rhetorical exercise? A narrow interpretation of this opinion is that the Court basically wanted to put the Ninth Circuit in its place.
Here is Justice Ginsburg, writing for a unanimous Court*:
Whatever the source of the Court of Appeals' error, all parties agree that the court's analysis was erroneous.
The fact that this observation was in a footnote only enhances the rather casual way the Court disposes of the Ninth Circuit's opinion. And perhaps this case is best seen as an instance of an appellate court screwing up an opinion so badly as to require Supreme Court oversight, but with facts so specific as to have little precedential value. In this case, the federal regulations make it clear that storm sewers (like the District's MS4) do in fact discharge to rivers (that is why they are regulated). This obsession in the lower courts about whether the discharge occurs at or near a monitoring station misses the point completely. The real issue is not whether there was a discharge (there was) or whether the discharge contained pollutants (it did) but whether the District can be held liable for that Clean Water Act violation based solely on evidence from one monitoring station in LA River. It is hard to see how another case would ever turn on the question of where the discharge occurred in a storm sewer system. In point of fact, this case should not have turned on this issue either. But if that was all the Court wished to do, why not vacate and remand, instead of reverse and remand, to allow the Ninth Circuit to correct its error?
But there is a broader justification for the Court's opinion: it reinforces the Miccosukee Tribe (2004) opinion. In Miccosukee Tribe, a water district pumped water runoff from a canal into a more pristine wetland. An environmental group and the Tribe thought pumping polluted water into the cleaner wetland should require a permit under the Clean Water Act. The water district first argued that it was merely conveying pollutants through the canal and point source, not generating pollutants, and therefore needed no permit. Justice O'Connor called that argument "untenable" (legalese for "stupid") and the water district lost. Technically, that is the one and only holding in Miccosukee Tribe: point sources that convey pollutants may require NPDES permits.
But Justice O'Connor went on to consider various other legal theories that had little to do with the question on appeal. In particular, the EPA argued that the water district was engaged in a "water transfer" and that such transfers should be exempt from NPDES permitting under the Clean Water Act. At its heart, this water transfers theory basically says that transfers of water within a single "water body" (which could be broadly or narrowly defined) is a transfer exempt from permitting, not an addition of a pollutant to a navigable water that would require permitting. Sound familiar? The LACFCD v. NRDC case is the most trivial example of a water transfer, if one considers only the hypothetical question presented and not the actual facts of the case.
Now, EPA's water transfers theory turned out to be a loser every time EPA raised it in court, until 2009. That is when EPA finally got around to making that water transfers theory a regulation. In 2009, the Eleventh Circuit, after listing the various rejections of the theory in prior cases, upheld the theory because the regulation entitled it to Chevron deference.
All of this legal wrangling concerning water transfers stem from Justice O'Connor's diversion into water transfer theory in Miccosukee Tribe. In particular, the Supreme Court in its opinion yesterday seems to be affirming as a holding what was technically dicta in Miccosukee Tribe:
The Tribe does not dispute that if C-11 and WCA-3 are simply two parts of the same water body, pumping water from one into the other cannot constitute an "addition" of pollutants. As the Second Circuit put it in Trout Unlimited, "[i]f one takes a ladle of soup from a pot, lifts it above the pot, and pours it back into the pot, one has not 'added' soup or anything else to the pot." 273 F.3d, at 492.
So the broader reading of yesterday's opinion is that it expands and affirms Miccosukee Tribe. Despite never hearing arguments on point in any case to date, the Court has interpreted language in the Clean Water Act to exclude at least some types of "water transfers," whereby polluted water can be dumped into cleaner water so long as we consider both to be from the "same" water body.
Anyone who wishes to strengthen the Clean Water Act should thus be wary of yesterday's opinion. It may go down as one of the more boring Court opinions, but it could also be used to broaden the exemptions for NPDES permits and give support for EPA's poorly thought-out water transfers rule.
* Justice Alito concurred in the judgment but wrote no concurrence that might elucidate what issue he had with Justice Ginsburg's opinion.

Fire in Colorado
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Firefighters have had a hard time putting out a big fire near Boulder, Colorado.
It took firefighters a long time to control the fire. It was very windy. One firefighter said that the winds can blow the fire out of the area very easily.
The fire destroyed 65 homes. During the worst part of the fire, people were asked to leave their homes. Police were worried that the empty homes might be looted. They checked every car going in and out of the fire area.
One family returned to their home to find that only a small part of it had been hurt by the blaze. They felt very lucky to be able to repair the damage. The fire had come so close to their house that the girl had to run out with only her teddy bear.
Another family lost only their outdoor toilet. Their cabin had no indoor plumbing so their outhouse was in the yard. They were thankful their home was not burned down.

SUTTON, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's golf team shot a team score of 323 and is tied for second place after the first day of action Saturday at the two-day Great Northeast Athletic Conference Championships, hosted by Anna Maria at the par-72 Blackstone National Golf Course.
Rhode Island College is first at 316, and the Corsairs are tied with Southern Maine, which also shot 323.
For UMass Dartmouth, junior Brandon Oldham (Mattapoisett, MA/Old Rochester Regional HS) shot a 77, and is tied for second, one shot out of the lead. Junior Brandon Kelleher (Hopedale, MA/Hopedale HS) came in at 80 and is tied for eighth, senior George Gillmore (Cotuit, MA/Barnstable HS/Fairfield) shot an 82 and is tied for 13th, senior Kevin Rewinski (Springfield, MA/Springfield HS) finished at 84 and is tied fr 21st, and senior Matt Connolly (Lynnfield, MA/Lynnfield HS) shot an 88 and ranks 31st.
"We got bit by some bad holes today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Joel Baptista. "To a man, everybody had one bad hole that was a huge number, and you can't have that in a championship tournament. That being said, we're where we want to be, we're in the hunt, if we can minimize those mistakes tomorrow, we'll have a good chance. Brandon Oldham had a great round today. He hit the ball well and was very consistent. Brendan Kelleher had a good round, but he had one bad hole."
The tournament will conclude Sunday. The winner of the tournament will receive the GNAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championships.

Looking for a new tank and side panels for a 79 CB650 brown/maroon and gold. Have any in good shape I can buy?
Unfortunately no tanks or side covers at the moment. Sorry. As much as I hate to say, you're likely to have a particularly difficult time finding those items for a 79 (that's kinda the oddball of the bunch, and not nearly as many of them).

Dagenham & Redbridge will be without midfielder Danny Green for the visit of Brentford.
The winger is beginning a three-match ban after he was shown a straight red card during the 1-0 defeat to the MK Dons.
Manager John Still has options to replace Green, with Darren Currie or John Nurse likely to be handed a role wide on the right.
Striker Josh Scott is resting after recovering from a mystery virus which hospitalised him so he will not be available.
On-loan Cardiff midfielder Solomon Taiwo is still missing having tweaked his hamstring so Peter Gain will continue to fill in.
Striker John Akinde is available to make his debut after signing on loan from Bristol City.
Brentford's veteran goalkeeper Simon Royce is in line to start his first match in over a year.
The 39-year-old Bees goalkeeping coach came off the bench at Yeovil on Saturday after regular number one Richard Lee was sent off.
Lee serves a one-match ban so Royce is expected to get the nod ahead of youngster Simon Moore to start his first game since he played for Gillingham in December 2009.
Winger Sam Saunders is close to returning after six weeks out with a hamstring injury and could be involved against his former club.
Utility man Sam Wood is therefore the only definite absentee as he continues his recovery from a broken arm.
