In a March 14 Washington Times column, Ted Nugent repeatedly called Attorney General Eric Holder “racist,” highlighting a recent request by the Department of Justice that the city of Dayton, Ohio, lower the passing scores for its police exams because they reportedly did “not meet terms of a lawsuit settlement that require the city to hire more black police and firefighters.” Nugent did not note that the Bush DOJ originally sued the city of Dayton over the exams in September 2008; the lawsuit was later settled in February 2009 by the Obama DOJ.
From Nugent's column:
Flunking is the new norm at racist Eric H. Holder Jr.'s Department of Injustice. In yet another ugly, blatant and defining racist move, Mr. Holder is forcing the city ofDayton, Ohio, to lower the passing threshhold on the test for those wanting to be police officers because not enough black recruits passed the exam.
Instead of attracting the best and brightest to serve the public, racist Mr. Holder will now ensure that the good residents of Dayton will be protected by dunce cops who score the equivalent of a D or F on the entrance exam.
Entrance exam scores may also be lowered for firefighters so that more black applicants can be accepted.
What Mr. Holder clearly wants by forcing his racist substandards on the good citizens of Dayton is to ensure people he favors get a fair shake at becoming cops by lowering the standards to such a degree that there might as well not be any entrance exams.
Leaving aside that Mr. Holder's Department of Injustice should stay the heck out of Dayton's entrance exam standards (which were already pathetically low), the issue that should boil the blood of Dayton residents is that their tax dollars will pay the salaries of public employees who are functionally illiterate - the very bottom of the barrel.
So much for excellence, right, Eric the racist?
Maybe President Obama will come to Dayton and have a beer with angry citizens and try and assuage their concerns. What the president should do is fire the racist punk Mr. Holder for a pattern of ugly racist statements and behavior.
Unfortunately, Mr. Holder passed Mr. Obama's low, low standards.
Racism lives, and it lives in the Obama crony administration. How sad.

The Failed ‘War On Drugs’ Helped Militarize Local Cops
Radley Balko has written a series of articles for the Huffington Post on the poorly conceived “War on Drugs” and the need for reform of both drug laws and law enforcement. The first article focused on a drug raid that broke horribly bad in Utah, Balko’s latest looks at drug enforcement as an underlying factor in the SWATification of local law enforcement:
Former Sheriff William “Dub” Lawrence has watched with dismay as America’s war on drugs has escalated, and SWAT teams have become more aggressive, more militarized, and less focused on resolving disputes peacefully.
“SWAT teams have been infiltrated by bullies with badges and guns who foster a mentality that killing criminals reduces recidivism,” he says. “We’re on the wrong track. I look at what’s happened to law enforcement today, and I’m ashamed and heartbroken by what I see. We’ve lost sight of what’s important. We’ve lost sight of what the job should be about, which is protecting the constitutional rights of the people.”
In 1975, Lawrence started what would become the Davis County, Utah, SWAT team. The elite tactical units were coming into vogue across the country at the time, after they were introduced in Los Angeles in the 1960s, following the Watts riots and a number of mass shooting incidents. … In September 2008… he watched helplessly as the same SWAT team he helped create over 30 years earlier shot and killed Brian Wood, his 36-year-old son-in-law.
Wood had a history of psychological problems, and he had barricaded himself in his truck with a gun following a domestic dispute. After a 12-hour standoff with police, the SWAT team moved in and shot Wood eight times with a stun gun before finally shooting him as he lay on the ground, an outcome Lawrence criticizes as an overreaction.
“I told my family, I said, ‘These guys are well-trained. You can trust them to talk him down,'” Lawrence recalls. “I then had to explain to my daughter why this team I helped create — had just told her to trust — had just killed her husband.”

|What is Basmati rice?||Top|
|Basmati is cylindrical long and extra-long grain rice grown in special areas of Kallar Tract falling in Punjab on both sides of Pakistani and Indian border having special characteristics Basmati aroma, intermediate amylose, intermediate gelatinization temperature and soft gel with about twice elongation upon cooking. It has special fluffiness and taste.|
|What is Long grain / Non-Basmati rice?||Top|
|Long-grain kernels are slender and three to four times as long as they are wide. The cooked grains are separate, firm, and fluffy making them suitable for dishes like pilafs and biryanis. It is rice, which is void of special characteristic aroma and taste. However, the other characters may be the same as basmati rice.|
|What is coarse/medium rice?||Top|
|Medium-grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel, whereas short-grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Both medium- and short-grain rices have cooked grains that are moist and tender and tend to cling together. Medium-grain rice is used for puddings.|
|What is hybrid rice?||Top|
Hybrid rice is the commercial rice crop grown from F1 seeds of a cross between two genetically dissimilar parents. Good rice hybrids have the potential of yielding 15-20% more than the best-inbred variety grown under similar conditions. To exploit the benefits of hybrid rice, farmers have to buy fresh seeds every cropping season.
Hybrid rice is any genealogy of rice produced by crossbreeding different kinds of rice. As with other types of hybrids, hybrid rice typically displays heterosis (or hybrid vigor) such that when it is grown under the same conditions as comparable high-yielding inbred rice varieties it can produce up to 30% more rice. High-yield crops, like hybrid rice, are one of the most important tools for combating world food crises.
|What are Rice Zones in Pakistan?||Top|
|Although rice can be cultivated throughout, the country starting from southern Sindh up to the highest altitude in the north but its cultivation is mainly concentrated in more or less four (4) distinct agro-ecological zones.|
|What type of rice varieties are being cultivated in Pakistan?||Top|
|Three types of rice varieties are being cultivated in Pakistan i.e. Basmati types – Indica (aromatic), medium long grain - Indica (IRRI type) and bold grain - japonica (cold tolerant varieties in zone – I). Basmati rice is famous throughout the world for its excellent cooking and eating qualities combined with very pleasant aroma. The medium long grain rice varieties are mostly cultivated in Sindh and give higher yield than Basmati varieties.|
|What are the approved varieties of rice?||Top|
|a. Basmati Varieties – Basmati 370, Basmati 198, Basmati Pak, Basmati 385, Super Basmati, Basmati 2000, Shaheen Basmati, Basmati 515. Punjab Basmati, Chenab Basmati, Kissan Basmati
b. Non-Basmati Varieties – PK 386, PK 1121 Aromatic.
c. Coarse or Medium Grain Varieties – IRRI 6, KS 282, KSK 133, KSK 434.
d. Hybrid Rice – Pukhraj, Arize, Shahanshah etc.
|What is the seed rate for Basmati and Coarse grain rice varieties?||Top|
|For Basmati varieties paddy seed rate is 4-5 Kg/acre while for Medium or Coarse varieties the recommended seed rate is 6-7 kg/acre. For hybrid rice, the seed rate is also 6-7 kg/acre.|
|What is the time of nursery sowing for coarse/medium and basmati varieties?||Top|
|The best nursery sowing time for coarse or medium grain varieties is from 20th May to June 7th while for Basmati varieties from 1st of June to 20th June is the best.|
|What are the different methods of nursery sowing?||Top|
|There are three different methods of nursery sowing followed in different areas according to their tradition and available resources.
a. Wet Bed Method:
It is commonly followed in the Punjab and KPK. The area, selected for nursery growing, is watered about 30 days before sowing. It helps in the eradication of weeds. When the weed seeds germinate after one week's interval, the field is ploughed twice, followed by planking every time and leveled with planking so that equal water is kept standing in the field. Clean seed is shifted into gunny bags and soaked in water for 24 hours. After soaking the seed is placed under shade and covered with gunny bags. The water is sprinkled over the seed after intervals and turned with hands about three times in a day for proper aeration and avoiding damage by heat due to suffocation. After about 36-48 hours, the seed is sprouted and is ready for sowing in the field. Sprouted seeds are then broadcast in the well-prepared seedbed.
b. Dry Bed Method:
The field is prepared under dry conditions, soaked seed is broadcasted, and a thin layer of farmyard manures is spread over the seed and then irrigated.
c. Rab Method:
In this method, prepared land is filled with farmyard manure (FYM) or paddy straw, keeping in mind that after burning a layer of one-inch ash should be left on seedbed. Burning of straw is generally done in the evening when wind is calm. This is kept as such to cool down. Next morning, the ash is mixed in the soil and seed is broadcasted and followed by irrigation.
|What is seed treatment in rice?||Top|
|For the control of Bakane and Brown Leaf Spot diseases, seed treatment is very effective. There are two methods for seed treatment. Apply fungicide @ 2.5 gm / 1 kg of seed evenly at least 15 days prior to nursery sowing. Second is take water 1.25 times of the quantity of seed, put the fungicide @ 2.5 gm / 1 kg of seed in it and dip the seed for 24 hours in this water. After 24 hour drain the water and put the seed under shade and cover it with jute bag for 36-48 hours so that the seed is germinated. This pre-germinated seed is then used for nursery sowing.|
|What are the different methods for field preparation for transplanting of nursery?||Top|
|Precise land leveling is very important for obtaining maximum paddy yield. Land is prepared according to the availability of water, time and soil type. It is prepared by three methods.
a. Complete Puddling of Soil:
Where water is abundantly available, flooding of soil is done 25-30 days before transplanting, ploughings & planking are done in frequent intervals During this process weeds seeds are allow to germinate through stoppage of irrigation but field should remain in saturated condition and do not dry up . This method is being practiced in the clay soils. Weeds problem is lesser in this method.
b. Partial Puddling:
Where water is not abundantly available, flooding of soil is made 8-10 days before transplanting ploughings and planking are done during this period. This method is becoming popular in the traditional rice growing areas due to shortage of irrigation water. Weeds are main problem in this method and these are to be controlled by using weedicides.
c. Dry Method:
In non-traditional areas of rice cultivation where water is scarce and soil type is loamy, this methods popular. In this method land is prepared in dry condition and then flooding is done before transplanting, two ploughings and one planking is done in flooded field before transplanting. Weeds are also major problem in this method and these are to be controlled by using weedicides.
|What is the proper age of nursery?||Top|
|The proper age of nursery for transplanting is 25-45 days. 25 days nursery is too delicate to absorb the uprooting shock while significant reduction in yield is noted if we use aged nursery i.e. more than 45 days. To avoid this sowing of nurseries with regular intervals according to the requirement of transplanting area and time. Try to sow two seedlings per hill for good crop stand and high yield.|
|What is the recommended plant population per acre?||Top|
|To get maximum paddy yield 80000 plant per acre are recommended. Tis can be achieved by maintaining a plant-to-plant and row to row distance of 22.5cm or 9 inches. However, at farmer’s fields plant population of 60000-65000 has been observed.|
|What is direct seeding of rice?||Top|
|Sowing of rice like sowing of wheat in watter soil.|
|What is mechanical sowing of rice?||Top|
|The specially grown nursery in trays transplanted in the field with the help of mechanical rice transplanter.|
|What are the recommended doses of fertilizers for Basmati and Coarse grain varieties? What is the proper time of application of different fertilizers?||Top|
The use of chemical fertilizers in adequate quantity and balanced form is important for getting the potential yield of rice. Generalized fertilizer recommendations are given below as a guide, which need to be adapted and tailored to specific situations in the light of local knowledge and experience.
For Basmati DAP = 1.5 bag, Urea 1.75 bags and 1 bag of Potash is recommended (All DAP and Potash + 1/3 Urea as basal dose + 1/3 Urea at 25-30 DAT + 1/3 Urea at 45-50 days after transplanting). For medium / coarse grain varieties DAP = 1.75 bag, Urea 2.25 bags and 1 bag of Potash is recommended (All DAP and Potash + half Urea as basal dose and half Urea after 30 days of transplanting). Use of Potash is recommended where tube well irrigation is the only source. In saline soils DAP and Urea should be replaced by SSP Ammonium sulphate for good yield. Zn application in transplanted crop is also recommended @ 5-10 kg/acre for zinc deficient soils.
|What is the irrigation/water requirement for rice crop?||Top|
About 5000 liter of water in traditional area and 2000 liters of water in non-traditional area is required for producing one Kg of rice. About 64 inches delta of water is required for rice crop. Failure of Monsoon Rains may cause more than 50% decrease in rice production.
If water is abundantly available than water level at transplanting should be kept 1-1.5 inches and gradually increased upto 3 inches. Water should be kept standing in the field upto 25-30 days after transplanting. After that, irrigation should be stopped for few days. Then apply 2nd dose of Urea fertilizer and irrigate the field. Keep the field in saturated condition. Irrigate the field after 3rd application of nitrogen. Irrigation should be stopped 15 days prior to harvesting.
If water is not abundantly available water level of the field at transplanting should be kept 1-1.5 inch. This level should be maintained up to 15-20 days after transplanting. After 15-20 days keep the field in saturated condition but apply irrigation after 2nd and 3rd nitrogen application. Granular pesticide should be applied in 2-3 inch standing water and maintain this level for 7 days. Irrigation should be stopped 15 days prior to harvesting.
|What are different weeds of rice crop?||Top|
|Weeds reduce yield 15-20% even sometimes upto 50%. Many annual and perennial weeds are present in the rice fields. The most important among those are as under:
Swanki (Echinochloa colona), Dhidden (Echinochloa crus galli), Narru (Paspalum distichum), Madhana (Dactyloetenium aegyptium) & Khabal (Cynodon dactylon), Ghora grass (Leptochloa chinensis) etc.
Della motha (Cyperus rotundus), Della bulrush (Scripus maritimus), Barri -ghoin (Cyperus difformis), Barri bhoin (Cyperus iria), Choti ghoin (Fimbristylis littoralis) and Choti bhoin (Fimbristylis dichotoma) etc.
Mirch booti (Sphenoclea zeylanica), Kutta kami (Nymphea stellata), Chopatti (Marsilea minuta) etc.
|What are the critical stages of weeds?||Top|
|Competition is most serious at the early stages of crop growth i.e. within the first 50 days. In this period, weed control measures must be adopted otherwise there can be substantial reduction in crop yield. It is important that rice crop should be kept free from weeds at least for the first 30 days. Thereafter, weeds would not affect paddy crop as much because vigorous plants of rice would suppress weed population. Thus, the most critical period is the first 30-40 days.|
|What are the control measures for weeds in nursery and standing crop?||Top|
Rauni Method, Puddling Method, weeds free rice seedlings, Water management, Crop rotation, Hand weeding, Rotary weeders, Burning of stubbles.
In chemical methods, selective herbicides are used to kill the weeds present in the rice crop. Most of the chemicals are used as pre- Emergence, only a few are used as post-emergence.
Weeds Control in Rice Nursery:
Apply any recommended weedicide e.g., Machete, Ronstar, Riffrt or Sunstar etc. to the puddled field in standing water one week before sowing of nursery and drain the field after 5 days. Then wash the field twice with fresh water in 2 days and broadcast the sprouted paddy seed in standing water.
Weed Control in Transplanted Rice:
Any recommended herbicides according to weed should be applied at 3-5 days after rice transplanting in 2-3 inch standing water. Care should be taken that water remains standing for one week and field should not dry during this period.
|What is IPM in rice?||Top|
A pest management philosophy that utilizes all suitable pest management techniques and methods to keep pest populations below economically injurious levels.
Cultural, mechanical, biological and chemicals control measures play an important role to minimize the yield losses with least impact on the environment.
|How to control different pests/ insects?||Top|
|Pest scout the rice field twice a week, if the population of insect pest reaches Economic threshold level (ETL) then use recommended insecticide as per instructions of the label.|
|What is insect injury?||Top|

|What is the reason behind burning of leaf tips in some patches of the field and how to manage it?||Top|
|Burning of leaf tips and margins in strips is the main symptom of bacterial leaf blight disease. Small patches can be removed along with healthy neighboring plants and application of copper based chemicals can be effective to manage the disease.|
|Some of the plants in the field are taller and thinner than others. How to control them?||Top|
|Bakanae disease shows the symptoms of tallness and thinning of plants. Such plants should be removed immediately from the healthy crop and burnt or buried away from crop area.|
|What is the difference between rice leaf blast and brown leaf spots?||Top|
|Rice leaf blast has angular or eye-shaped lesions on the leaves, however brown leaf spots are circular in shape and have yellow halo around them.|
|Some of the rice stems are wilting near the water line. What to do to manage the problem?||Top|
|Stem rot disease causes wilting and lodging of the rice plants. In order to manage it, immediately remove the water and the keep changing the water level in the field.|
|How to manage fertilizers in order to keep rice crop safe from diseases?||Top|
|Apply nitrogenous fertilizers in three split doses. Apply 1 bag of potassium sulfate per acre to minimize the disease severity of blast and brown leaf spot.|
|What can be done to prevent rice diseases to appear?||Top|
|Seed treatment. Use of balanced fertilizers. Proper water and weed management. Insect management. One or two preventive sprays of recommended fungicides at active tillering and booting stages.|
|How and when to do seed treatment?||Top|
|Take 2-2.5 g of seed treatment fungicide per kg of seed and dissolve in 1 liter of water. Soak the seed for 24 hours and then sow them after drying.|
|How to manage grain discoloration?||Top|
|Proper management of rice diseases (bacterial leaf blight, rice blast, brown leaf spot) will reduce the chances of grain discoloration. Sprays of recommended fungicides at booting stage and before panicle emergence can also reduce disease severity.|
|How to reduce chances of aflatoxins production?||Top|
|Proper drying of paddy after harvest reduces the chances of aflatoxin production. Storage should be properly cleaned and fumigated before storing of paddy. Contaminated seed should not be stored with healthy seed. Seed treatment before storage also decrease the fungal attack on stored seed.|
|What measures can be taken to keep rice clean from pesticide residues?||Top|
|Strict implementation of Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of every pesticide will keep the rice clean from residues above their limits. The PHI is a function of a pesticide’s use pattern and of the amount of pesticide residues allowed on the crop at harvest.|
|Which chemicals are effective against rice disease?||Top|
|Use any one chemical as per directions of label:
Bacterial leaf blight
copper oxychloride, copper hydroxide, sulfur etc.
azoxystrobin + difenoconazole, trifloxystrobin + tebuconazole, validamycin + difenoconazole etc.
Brown Leaf spot
azoxystrobin + difenoconazole, trifloxystrobin + tebuconazole, validamycin + difenoconazole, difenoconazole etc.
azoxystrobin + difenoconazole, trifloxystrobin + tebuconazole, validamycin + difenoconazole, difenoconazole, sulfur etc.
|What is the proper stage and time of harvesting?||Top|
|Proper time of harvesting is about 35 days after flowering and moisture content at this time will be 20-22% when all grains are matured but 2-3 grains at bottom are still green, hard and are filled completely.|
|What is drying? Define different methods of drying?||Top|
|After harvesting and cleaning, paddy should be dried upto 14% moisture level and stored properly. There are different ways of paddy drying like sun drying - which is the cheapest and mechanical drying.|
|What is rough rice?||Top|
|Paddy or rough rice is the most original form of a rice kernel. After the harvest, rice is separated from the ear into individual grains. After drying, the end result is the Paddy, whose kernel is still inside the hull. After the milling process, the out hull is removed, along with the bran layer and the product becomes White rice.|
|What is milling?||Top|
|Milling is a process of removal of husk – threshing and polishing of the grain to get white rice.|
|What is brown rice?||Top|
|Similar to White rice, Brown rice belongs to the Indica (long-grain) category. The only difference between these two varieties is the milling; milling removes both the husk and the bran layer of the kernal. Through the milling process, Brown rice becomes White rice. As a result, in Brown rice, only the husk is removed while the bran layer remains. Because of the brand layer, Brown rice contains more nutrients than White rice. In particular, Brown rice is very high in fiber and vitamin B.|
|What is white rice?||Top|
|White rice belongs to the Indica (long grain) category. It is also known as polished rice or fully milled rice because most of the outer layers - the husk and the bran layer are removed from the kernel, through the milling process.|
|What is rice bran?||Top|
|Rice bran is a byproduct of the milling process. It constitutes nearly 7-8 % of the total rice grain. Although rice bran has considerable potential as a contributor to oil supply, it is seldom considered in the list of edible oil raw material resources. The full fat rice bran should be suitably treated after milling to deactivate the naturally occurring lipase enzymes which if untreated would rapidly deteriorates the oil in bran.|
|What is rice bran oil and its significance?||Top|
|The rice bran generally contains 15-20% oil. Rice bran oil has great nutritive value for direct consumption as edible oil. However, there are some problems like high free fatty acids that create setback for its marketing as edible oil.|
|What is parboiled or “Sella” rice?||Top|
Parboiled is rough rice that has gone through a steam-pressure process before milling. It is soaked, steamed, dried, and then milled to remove the outer hull. This procedure gelatinizes the starch in the grain, and is adopted at the mill in order to harden the grain, resulting in less breakage, thus ensuring a firmer, more separate grain. Parboiled rice is favored by consumers and chefs who desire extra fluffy and separate cooked rice.
Parboiled (basmati & non-basmati) rice is called “Sella” parboiling results in yellow rice with clear transparent grains is a result of parboiled the characters like chalkiness and aroma are eliminated but grains elongate more than the white rice during cooking. Parboiled rice has improved vitamin contents (more thiamine and nicotinic acid) and grain breaking is significantly reduced during milling process. Parboiled rice requires higher water/rice ratio than regular /white rice during cooking.
|How paddy is properly stored?||Top|
|Paddy can be stored in heaps or by filling in gunny bags and piling in concrete godowns. Steel bins or Silos are also being used effectively for storing paddy.|
|What are safety measures to be adopted during storage?||Top|
|There should be proper ventilation in godowns. Moisture and temperature of the gowdowns should be monitored regularly. Control measures should be adopted against rodents and stored grain insect like Rice weevil, Red flour beetle, Lesser grain borer, Paddy grain moth and Khapra beetle.|

"Beautiful and poignant… deserves the chance to reach the widest audience possible." — Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Two unique African American love stories, each involving a deaf woman and a hearing man, play out in this moving drama. Inspired by a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the narrative shares their struggle to navigate disability, and overcome racism and discrimination. This important film on African American deaf culture innovatively incorporates silent film techniques such as title cards and vintage photos to make the piece accessible to hearing and deaf viewers alike, and to share the vast possibilities of language and communication. (Description courtesy of Women Make Movies)
AUGUST 27: Director Zeinabu irene Davis will be present for an audience discussion with ASL interpretation.

Why does it say this for me when the servers are up and running and I am updated to the latest version of the game? Does that happen to anyone else? I tried reinstalling the game but for some reason, it just doesn’t wanna connect. What should I do?
Update: It only does this on Steam. When I download the game without Steam it works.
Exactly, I don’t know if they forgot to update that, cuz this game usually works, but when I load it, the bottom bar of the loading when it logs in takes a while and it says failed other side closed connection.

Cottage Stick Wicker Dining Arm Chair
With its simplified stick rattan and traditional style, the Cottage collection evokes summer in Cape Cod. The clean design is handcrafted of rattan and really shines when painted in bold colors.
- Dimensions: 22"W x 25"D x 40"W
- Shown in: Harvester
- Item is suitable for limited outdoor exposure. Limited outdoor exposure refers to outdoor use, but on a covered porch. Occasional weather is fine, as long as the furniture is not directly exposed to the sun and rain. The product will still naturally weather outdoors, including frame color and bindings. This is a normal outcome. Perfect for indoor use as well.
- This is a natural product. Since each reed is naturally different than the other, there will be slight differences in hue and color when stains are used. This is not to be confused as a defect but is part of the beauty of owning a product made of natural materials.
- Please note, this item is custom-made to order and is not eligible for return.
- Please note COM is also available. Please contact customer service at 1-888-WELL-APP or firstname.lastname@example.org to inquire.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Federal authorities say they questioned an Ohio man they suspected of recording a movie in a theatre with his Google Glass computer-in-eyeglass device.
The government says no action was taken after the man confirmed the Google Glass was also a pair of prescription glasses with the recording function inactive.
The man was watching “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” at an AMC theatre in Columbus on Saturday. Authorities did not identify him.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Khaalid Walls says the man voluntarily answered questions from officers with ICE Homeland Security Investigations.
AMC says it contacted authorities after identifying someone wearing a recording device. Spokesman Ryan Noonan says the company takes movie theft seriously.
Both ICE, which investigates piracy and counterfeiting, and the Motion Picture Association of America, were involved.

Biegel's recovery from offseason foot surgery has been a slow process, and he is not ready to practice just yet, so he will not open the regular season as part of the active roster. If Biegel is able to get on the field this season he will provide depth at the outside linebacker position for the Packers.
Biegel (foot) still has major challenges ahead in order to be ready to play Week 1, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Biegel is still eligible to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The worries of Packers' fans are justified when you take into account the history he's had with this foot, including the surgery last season. It's tough to see where he will stand in the depth chart since he only had a few healthy snaps in the offseason program.
Biegel (foot) will not practice the rest of the week or play in Saturday's preseason contest against Denver.
Ruling Biegel out of all activities four days in advance isn't a positive sign for his recovery. The Packers have yet to see what he can do for a full practice, and time is winding down on preseason. Biegel has had surgery on this foot twice in the past year, though, so the Packers are not in a hurry to rush him back, but a lot of fans are eager to see if he can make moves on the depth chart when he's healthy.
Biegel (foot) has yet to return to practice following his May surgery, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
There were some rumbles earlier this week that Biegel could return to the practice field but coach Mike McCarthy shut those down Tuesday. As for now, the rookie linebacker is still on the team's PUP list but has been making some decent-sized strides. The expectation is that Biegel will be able to at least practice before the regular season, but nothing is a given at this point in time.
Biegel (foot) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the beginning of training camp, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
Biegel underwent surgery on his foot back in May and he remains without a concrete timetable for a return. Packers' head coach Mike McCarthy said Biegel could be back in "a couple weeks," but he wouldn't get any more specific. The rookie linebacker is the main addition the team made to what is a thin position group. Though he'll have a learning curve after missing so much offseason time, Biegel could see a consistent role in the Green Bay defense once he's healthy and the regular season roles around.

Tombelaine scores twice, leads Griz to 2-1 victory
Published: October 15, 2011
Junior Ashley Tombelaine scored twice, including the game-winning penalty kick in the 81st minute, to lead the Montana soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Idaho State Saturday afternoon at Davis Field in Pocatello, Idaho.
The win improved the Grizzlies to 5-9-2 overall and to .500 in Big Sky Conference matches at 2-2-1. Montana is currently in a tie for third in the league standings, with two matches yet to be played Sunday afternoon before all eight teams have reached five matches.
Idaho State dropped to 4-10-1, 1-4-0 in Big Sky play.
The match was tied 1-1 entering the final 10 minutes of regulation when the decisive play evolved. Tombelaine took possession of the ball inside the 18-yard, and an ISU defender clipped Tombelaine and knocked her down.
She drilled the ensuing penalty kick one direction, Idaho State keeper Carly Hutchings-Maloney went the other direction, and Montana had its second league win of the season.
“Any road win in conference is a good thing and a big thing,” UM coach Mark Plakorus said. “This one had maybe a little bit more emphasis, because we needed this one to get into the conference race.”
Idaho State grabbed early momentum when the Bengals opened the scoring less than three minutes in.
On ISU’s small field, Mikaela Carrillo was able to put her throw-in into the box, and Ashley Jones headed in her fourth goal of the season.
The goal was hardly indicative of the opening 45 minutes. Montana outshot Idaho State 11 to 2, but the Bengals had a 1-0 lead at the break thanks to Hutchings-Maloney’s three first-half saves.
“We talked yesterday, then again today that we’re only missing the final one or two percent of our game,” Plakorus said.
“Once we get the ball into the box, it’s about being brave and courageous, and that’s the one or two percent we’ve been leaving out.”
Tombelaine scored her second goal of the season and evened the score at 1-1 at 54:57 on a play Plakorus described as “fantastic.”
Sophomore India Watne, the Big Sky Conference leader in assists, played a ball in behind the defense. Tombelaine cut the ball back to her left foot to evade a defender and sent a left-footed kick into the upper left-hand corner of the goal.
Montana had five more shot opportunities before Tombelaine scored the game-winner at 80:30.
Griz junior goalkeeper Kristen Hoon, who kept the Bengals off the scoreboard the final 87:35, made a save on ISU’s Kiley Godfrey in the 85th minute, and that would be Idaho State’s final scoring opportunity.
Montana outshot Idaho State for the match, 19 to 7. Tombelaine and sophomore Mary Makris both took four shots, junior Erin Craig three shots and Watne and junior Lauren McCreath two shots.
The Big Sky Conference’s final league matches take place next week, and the top four teams in the standings a week from Sunday will make the league tournament.
Montana will host Northern Arizona (2-8-6, 1-1-2 BSC) Friday at 3 p.m. at South Campus Stadium, then travel to Greeley, Colo., to face Northern Colorado (6-7-2, 3-1-0 BSC) Sunday at noon.
Northern Arizona plays at Portland State (6-7-1, 2-1-1 BSC) and Northern Colorado plays at Sacramento State (6-7-1, 2-1-1 BSC) Sunday, when a complete picture of the Big Sky will take shape going into the final week of the season.
Match notes: Ashley Tombelaine’s second and third goals of the season tie her with India Watne for second on the team behind Erin Craig’s 10. ... Tombelaine had one career goal entering the season. ... Tombelaine scored her first goal of the season in Montana’s 2-1 victory over Wyoming on Aug. 21. ... Watne’s assist on Tombelaine’s first goal gives her eight of Montana’s 18 assists this season. ... The Grizzlies’ 23 goals this season equal the team’s combined output in 2009 and 2010. ... Kristen Hoon made two saves to improve to 4-7-1. ... Hoon, Craig, junior Lauren Costa and sophomore Alyssa Nystrom played all 90 minutes. ... Costa has played every minute this season.

The Shrewsbury Walk Project
The Shrewsbury Walk area of Weston Park, originally designed by the celebrated landscape designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, is the final area of the Capability Brown Landscape that has not been refreshed since the Foundation began in the 1980s. Over the years the Shrewsbury Walk has only received general maintenance and is in need of attention and reinvigoration.
The walk, an often forgotten area of the park, takes visitors up along the wall on a circular walk to the west of the park, providing stunning views across the estate and the Shropshire Hills.
Each generation at Weston Park has altered elements of the Shrewsbury Walk design and the Head Gardener, Martin Gee, has a vision to restore the walk to Capability Brown’s original plan. This new design is based on original maps, photography and historic planting lists.
Restoring this section of the gardens is a big team effort with the gardeners and volunteers working closely together. Work has already begun, with the centre of the loop being cleared of rhododendrons. The work means there is now an open view of the parkland from the upper pathway which was not visible previously. Next the garden team hope to plant great drifts of bulbs and wildflowers, encouraging more wildlife into the space. Following this, the borders will be dug back in along freshly gravelled pathways. Benches will also be put along the walk for visitors to enjoy the views across the park.
Many plants and trees introduced by Brown can still be recognised along the Shrewsbury Walk today, for example the Yew trees which were used as a backdrop to hide walls and fences, which were one of a limited type of coniferous trees available at the time. Ferns, which were heavily used by Brown in his designs, can be seen along the Shrewsbury Walk and feature in the other gardens here at Weston Park.
Our aim is to encourage people back into this beautiful area of the park, to enjoy the tranquillity of the space. The circular walk is the perfect length to enjoy a peaceful stroll whilst taking in the beautiful views of the park and countryside beyond.
We are raising money towards the project through the South Staffordshire Community Lottery.
Proceeds from South Staffordshire Community Lottery Tickets will go towards the Shrewsbury Walk project to contribute towards bulbs, plants, benches and equipment.
The lottery costs only £1 a week to enter. 50% of your entry will go to our cause, and another 10% to other local causes.
Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win, with a top prize of £25,000!
Thank you for your support.

Since 1978, the HD-35 has been one of Martin's best kept secrets. The HD-35 combines the innovative three-piece back design of the '60s with the bold Herringbone and scalloped braces of the prewar era. This rare configuration produces powerful, refined tone you'll only find from a Martin guitar.
The HD-35 features a solid Sitka Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood back and sides, and a three-piece East Indian Rosewood back. In keeping with the history of Style-35 guitars, the centerpiece on the back always provides a nice contrasting grain. Under the hood, its braces are forward-shifted to increase bass presence, and they're scalloped, too, for more volume and even, fast response.
Like the rest of the Standard Series, the HD-35 is styled out with vintage touches. Thanks t aging toner on the top, Antique White binding, and an Old-Style "C.F. Martin" logo, the HD-35 has elegant cosmetics to match its impressive sound.
- Top: Solid Sitka Spruce
- Back: Three-Piece Solid East Indian Rosewood
- Sides: Solid East Indian Rosewood
- Bracing: Forward-Shifted, Scalloped 1/4" X-Bracing
- Nut: Bone, 1-3/4"
- Neck Profile: Modified Low Profile w/ High Performance Taper
- Fingerboard & Bridge: Solid Ebony
- Saddle: Compensated Bone, 2-5/32" string spacing
- Top Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone
- Tuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic
All-in-all, this HD-35 is an expressive instrument that offers a slightly different flavor from your typical Martin dreadnought.

In 2016 I became interested in learning how to create games. My explorations into this previously had been fairly tame, creating a text-based adventure game in QBasic when I was around 10 and then a Java GUI dungeon-crawler type game in university for some coursework. In 2016, Unity was free and used C# as the language of choice, which made it perfect for me. I watched some online tutorials on how to make games and got started!
I quickly realised that although I had the programming knowledge on how to create a game, what I lacked was the graphical ability to create assets. Instead of purchasing a pack of assets, or attempting to gather what I could from free resources, I decided to make the actual visuals for the game as simple as possible, using graphical primitives like squares and circles (the game was to be 2D for ease on my first attempt).
I landed on the idea of shapes entering the screen from the left and moving towards the right. The player was to tap on the shape before it exited the screen on the right. Simple enough. I wanted to add a bit of complexity so there are different game modes, and also I wanted to make it look stylised, so the shapes had a certain colour palette and glow and would explode in retro but futuristic ways when hit.
The result was Color Explosion.

One afternoon I found myself down at the Mokmer airfield, swapping Jap bayonets and gear for food and supplies from some of the flyboys. A few of them were trying to befriend me ‘cause word had got around that I supplied the best souvenirs. We were discussing some unusual areas on the island that were devoid of any foliage, and I was very interested because we were due to patrol near that zone. So then this aircrew invites me to take a ride on a B24 bomber; which I accepted just for a change of pace, and also out of curiosity to see what the island looked like from the air. We had to get permission from their Major, and from Col. Roosevelt, my CO. The scuttlebutt was that they were going to make a number of passes over the island at different altitudes, in order to test out some new, top secret gear.
Upon boarding the plane, I noticed that the crew were all donning their heavy flight suits; leather jackets, pants, and helmets lined with shearling sheepskin. I was wearing my raggedy olive greens; thin cotton HBT shirt and trousers appropriate for the 100 degree temperatures of the jungle. The engineer tossed me an old blanket, saying: “cover up, it gets colder than a witch’s tit up there!” Then they handed me an old, beat up sheepskin jacket, which I noticed had some stains and small holes. “Grape juice,” the engineer commented. As the huge craft lumbered off the bumpy jungle runway, it seemed to barely miss the line of trees at the edge of the airfield.
We spent the next 45 minutes or so making passes at various levels, sometimes so high up that I couldn’t make out the airstrip at all, just endless ocean and the little islands off the coastline of New Guinea. There was the tremendous din of the engines on board the aircraft, and I could hardly make out the crew’s conversation over their radio as I sat next to the navigator. I did make out the comment: “Is the gear ready?” several times, but my new navigator buddy seemed most interested in plying me to get hold of a Nambu pistol or a Hiri-Kiri knife for him. At one point, he decided to draw me into his confidence, and said: “Hey Joe, you wanna see the top secret stuff that we’re working on back in the cargo bay?” “Sure thing,” said I, and he led me back through the cabin, where upon opening the door I beheld a cargo bay full of strapped down cases of beer! The freezing wind was whooshing through the open doors; the comment that I had heard repeated was actually: “Is the beer ready?”
“Yup, Joe, beer’s nice and cold now, I guess we’ll be heading back to base…”
At which point I was sure to requisition a few cans of icy cold ones for my thirsty squad. But by the time I got them back up to our foxholes out in the jungle, they were warm as piss!

I’m a massive Kaz Stufff fan and read and re-read her pregnancy and baby books when I was going through these stages. Now my babies are growing up, it’s nice to have a Kaz Cooke book that will help my young girl as she matures. This is a really informative, fun book that covers an array of subjects and is written in a tone that young girls will enjoy. There are a few movies and books recommended for this age group that I’m not so sure are suitable but these things are always subjective.

Girl Stuff : Kaz Cooke :
Her Up The Duff was the only pregnancy book I managed to read from cover-to-cover, and she acted like a calm and awesome best friend who can reassure, inform and uplift all at the same time.

Social housing tenants
If you already live in social housing you can pay your rent, find out about moving into a different social home and see a list of social landlords.
If you would like to move from your current social housing there are several schemes you may be eligible for.
If your social housing property is too big, get support to move into a smaller, more manageable home with the Trading Places scheme.

In May 2020, the government announced funding for emergency active travel schemes. The first round of funding was for temporary highway schemes to aid social distancing, and to reallocate existing road space, to help enable more journeys by walking and cycling. We installed a number of measures within a matter of weeks, including the following:
- Pavement widening at 15 locations in Bath
- Turning Keynsham High Street and a number of roads in Bath city centre into pedestrian and cycle zones
- Automating pedestrian crossings at the busiest traffic signal junctions so that people didn’t need to push the button to activate the crossing
Through the West of England Combined Authority (WECA), we submitted a bid to the Department for Transport’s second round of funding for Active Travel schemes. This round of funding is to provide an alternative for journeys that people may previously have taken on public transport (which still has reduced capacity, due to social distancing) and also to help enable more people to walk and cycle for short, local trips.
The schemes we are taking forward to consultation form part of our wider strategy to make it more convenient to walk, wheel, or cycle for short journeys, helping residents, businesses, and visitors to Bath and North East Somerset to live healthier lives.
We will be consulting on three schemes in February 2021, two of which will use funding from the government’s Active Travel Fund.

Annual inflation in metro Atlanta climbed into double-digits last month, far above the national average, pulled higher by the region’s housing, energy and food costs.
And prices for consumers are seen rising even faster this month, fueled by skyrocketing oil and gas costs following Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.
The metro area’s February consumer price index, calculated from a collection of goods and services that typically dominate household spending, was 10.6% higher than a year earlier, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.
Nationally, consumer prices were up 7.9% in the 12 months ended February, with energy prices the main driver. U.S. prices rose 7.0% last year, the biggest increase since 1981.
But last month’s increases only partially captured the mounting economic fallout from Russia’s invasion, which began Feb. 24. Russia is a major global producer of oil and Ukraine is a large global supplier of grains such as wheat.
The average price of gasoline in metro Atlanta has ascended from $3.44 a gallon when the war began to $4.33 a gallon Thursday afternoon, according to GasBuddy, which collects drivers’ information to track prices nationwide.
While there is no telling how long energy prices will be elevated, the impact of the first wave of rising prices is still flowing through the economy, said economist Tom Smith of Emory University’s Goizueta School of Business. “It’s going to get worse before it gets better.”
Even before the Russian war, prices were up, as strong consumer spending on goods combined with global supply chain wrangles that have raised costs. And Atlanta for months has been among the regions with the highest inflation.
In Thursday’s government report, only Phoenix, with an annual inflation rate of 10.9%, had a higher rise in consumer prices than Atlanta among major cities surveyed.
Inflation is higher than the national average in Atlanta for a range of reasons, most boiling down to the basics of supply and demand, Smith said.
Atlanta’s attractiveness to new residents, as well as visitors, has steadily ratcheted up the need for basic services and goods — especially housing, which accounts for about one-third of the index. Both rents and home prices have been rising at double-digit rates.
The inflation report comes as the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting committee prepares to meet next week. Officials have signaled a modest increase in short-term interest rates, intended to raise borrowing costs, dampen inflation and slow the economy slightly.
The higher inflation numbers could increase the pressure on Fed officials to be more aggressive in hiking rates.
But the situation this time isn’t like the late 1970s, when the Fed raised rates to nearly 20% and killed inflation by causing a deep recession that meant layoffs for millions of workers, Smith said.
“This is a different animal,” he said. “The Fed has to decide what it cares about. If it’s low unemployment, then the Fed has to be cautious.”
Higher prices by themselves can be a threat to growth since inflation in necessary goods cuts spending on other things.
Inflation is especially hard on people with fixed incomes, but even working people who’ve been getting healthy pay hikes are generally not seeing wages rise as fast as prices, said Kurt Rankin, senior economist for PNC Financial Services Group.
“Consumer spending faces a tough task in supporting U.S. economic activity in the months to come,” he said.

Lieutenant Commander Wainwright of the Lane, and his execu-
tive, Lieutenant Edward Lea, and two men, were killed, and one
officer and eleven men were wounded on the ship. The Neptune
was sunk, either by a cannon ball or by the shock of collision.
The Westfield, carrying the Federal commodore, got aground and
was blown up, by mischance killing Commodore Renshaw and his
officers. The other Federal gunboats retreated from the harbor
and the blockade, but the alert Confederates captured the supply
ships and the Federal infantry. The victory was complete. It
was the greatest setback which had been administered to the Fed-
eral forces at sea, and was accomplished by about three thousand
local troops-partly cavalry, together with four river steamers.
The chief floating prize of the victory was the Harriet Lane, a
handsome and nearly-new vessel. She was the first successful
steamer of the U. S. Revenue Cutter Service, still clinging since
1790 to graceful topsail schooners except at the chief seaport.
Congress had appropriated $150,000, in 1857, for the new ship,
inviting designs from the shipbuilders of the country. Over a
dozen competed, and the contract was awarded to William H. Webb,
of New York, for a wooden steamer of 670 tons, 180 feet long, 30
feet beam, 12 feet, 6 inches depth, propelled by two inclined
engines and side wheels, with the handsome sail rig of a brigantine.
She at first carried a long 32-pounder, four Dahlgren 24-pounder
howitzers, and a 12-pounder boat howitzer. Her name was that
of the beautiful niece of President James Buchanan, who, being
unmarried, asked Miss Harriet Lane to do the honors of the White
House as First Lady. Captain John Faunce of the U. S. Revenue
Marine was the first commanding officer of the new ship, watched
her launching on November 19, and took command November 30,
1857. The ship's first duty was in the suppression of the slave
trade, and her first prize the slaver Wanderer.
In 1858 the Lane was a most efficient member of a naval expedi-
tion to Paraguay, to make a demonstration because of some inter-
ference with American trade; Captain Faunce and the ship were
highly praised for work there. They returned to chasing slavers
until 1860, when a royal Japanese delegation was entertained on

Opinion: Empowering local health care providers to battle the opioid crisis
The global COVID-19 pandemic has dominated our health care conversations and stretched every aspect of our health care system for nearly two years.
But more quietly, the pandemic has also contributed to a tragic surge in opioid use and deaths across the nation. This surge represents a crisis within a crisis. And because our health care system and providers are reaching the limits of their capabilities—even more so since the Omicron variant began spreading — we must think in new and different ways to address the opioid crisis.
More than 75,000 Americans died from opioid abuse during the 12 months ending in April 2021, up from 56,000 the year before, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In our state, one out of every five Texans has experienced an opioid overdose or knows someone who has, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
To address this crisis, we must understand its relationship to the COVID-19 pandemic.
First, the initial lockdown in 2020 may have helped slow the spread of the virus. But the increased isolation, lack of social connections and job shortages that it brought also played a role in the tragic increase in opioid use, addiction, and death.
Second, health care workers, already overwhelmed by COVID-19, were left equally overwhelmed and often underprepared to treat patients with opioid use disorder.
This was made even worse by an overall decline in the number of health care workers throughout the state. In 2019, 129 of Texas’ 254 counties faced a shortage of primary care physicians. By July of 2021, this number had dramatically increased to 228 counties. Rural counties were hit especially hard and are the exact places where opioid abuse has been a crisis for years.
We can help mitigate this crisis by better empowering these overwhelmed, overworked, understaffed local health care providers. By providing them with additional knowledge about addiction and treatment—and a network of experts and peers dealing with similar issues—we can help them treat patients even more effectively.
That’s why our two organizations, Amerigroup Texas and the Texas A&M Health Opioid Task Force, partnered to create the EMPOWER TeleECHO Clinic, so we can reach into communities that desperately need solutions to the opioid crisis.
Nearly three dozen health care providers participate in the clinic’s online “telementoring” sessions each month. Through the program, researchers, clinicians, educators, and experts run through case studies, discuss best practices and help train health professionals in places like Midland, Victoria and other Texas communities confronting the opioid crisis. These providers then pass along that knowledge within their communities, expanding treatment options and expertise for thousands of patients around Texas.
Elsewhere in Texas, other organizations and agencies are also helping to raise awareness and supporting providers who work with opioid patients.
State leaders have launched the Texas Targeted Opioid Response initiative to educate prescribers and patients on the dangers of these drugs. It offers clinic-based care and a host of recovery programs. And the University of Texas has created a system of digital reporting and monitoring called Project CONNECT to track drug overdoses across the state and create a clearer picture of opioid abuse in different regions.
The double crisis of COVID-19 and opioid addiction has had profound impact throughout Texas. Recognizing the need for new thinking and innovation is vital to the response. By connecting local health care providers with medical experts in addiction care, we can better educate these providers and equip them with the tools they need to treat patients effectively.
Thompson is president and CEO of Amerigroup Texas. Alonzo is Co-Chair of the Texas A&M University Opioid Task Force.

The Tikka T3 rifle concept is a spectacular success story. Tens of thousands
of shooters in the US and around world have chosen Tikka T3 rifles as their
favourite new rifle. The news of the Tikka rifles stunning accuracy has spread
like wildfire, making it a highly-sought-out rifle. Each Tikka rifle is throughly
tested for accuracy, giving you the performance of 1 MOA or less. Once you have
tried a Tikka T3 rifle on the range you simply don’t want to give it back
– and when you hear the unbelievable value, there’s no real excuse
for not having one. The idea behind Tikka Rifles is actually very simple. A
rifle consists of only two components - one made of steel and one made of wood
or composite. In terms of performance the steel is the more important part.
The stock must be good to hold, pleasant to handle and provide a steady and
reliable platform for the steel that delivers the load. Tikka rifles provide
all that and more with exceptional quality, reliability, and value.

A man was arrested after leading officers in Belmont on a short pursuit Saturday morning, police said. Officers responded to a report that a man had just stolen tools from a garage at a home in the 2200 block of Village Court at about 9:15 a.m., police said.
The suspect, Mitchell Borden, 25, of Pacifica, was seen fleeing the area in a small white car with a woman in it, according to police.

Last week top scientists from the US National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine recommended that exploring Uranus is a top priority for science.
The mission proposed by the scientists would include sending a Uranus Orbiter and a Probe to a strange distant planet. The orbiter would be used to measure and observe Uranus' exotic atmosphere, and the probe would be sent deep within the atmosphere to gather vital data from within gas giant. In the published piece by the scientists, they outline that this mission could take place sometime in 2030 if engineers began the development process in 2023.
While the plan certainly seems like it will yield great academic value, it hedges on the development of launch vehicles capable of taking the orbiter and probe to their destination. The survey's author didn't directly reference Elon Musk's SpaceX but did write, "a Uranus mission is favored because an end-to-end mission concept exists that can be implemented in the 2023-2032 decade on currently available launch vehicles."
As outlined by Teslarati, there are only so many choices of launch vehicles available for such a mission; SpaceX's Falcon Heavy, United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Vulcan Centaur, Blue Origin's New Glenn, and NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). ULA's Vulcan Centaur hasn't launched, Blue Origin's New Glenn has shown poor performance outside of Earth's orbit, and NASA has switched from its own SLS to SpaceX's Falcon Heavy to avoid delays.
While SpaceX isn't directly mentioned, the Falcon Heavy remains as the obvious choice and seems to be what the survey's researchers were hedging their bets on if NASA were to undertake the proposed mission to probe Uranus.
