Mayor brooks says county park proposal 'ridiculous'
by Stacy Wiedmaierk
in Platte County
Platte City's Board of Aldermen on Tuesday discussed the ongoing maintenance issues at Platte Ridge Park, with Mayor Dave Brooks once again defending the city's role and criticizing the county.
The county owns the park property, but the city signed a maintenance agreement that the county says they are not upholding. Platte Ridge is located on Hwy. 371 and has been facing maintenance issues, including erosion, piles of debris, safety and security issues.

At a city parks and recreation board meeting held last week, members decided to forego signing the county's proposed addendum to the operations and maintenance agreement. They instead voted to continue working on the projects until further notice.
On April 4, parks director Dannie Stamper met with the mayor, city administrator and city attorney at city hall to compose a letter to the county that states their position and requests another meeting with county commissioners.
It is possible the county commission will discuss the issue at its meeting set for Thursday afternoon.
"What we're supposed to do is in the eyes of the beholder," said mayor Brooks. "The last so-called letter from the county was ridiculous and we're back where we started now. The county made a promise. Dannie (Stamper) and his men are already working long hours fixing the issues, over and above the norm. There are hundreds of hours of labor that have been done out there, too much to keep track of. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent. But that doesn't seem to make any difference to the county. It's like the city can't do enough in the county's eyes."
Alderman Aaron Jung interrupted Brooks, though Brooks resisted.
"I'm telling my story to the newspapers and that's it," Brooks quickly said, as Jung stated he felt this discussion was headed down a negative path and the item had turned into a "bashing session."
Brooks responded by pointing his finger at Jung while saying: "Just ask anyone. I'm telling the truth."
Jung told Brooks: "That is the truth according to how you see it."
"That's true but you can ask a lot of people and they'll tell you that's how it happened," Brooks said.
Stamper shared with the aldermen that he had organized a packet about this parks issue to be placed in their mailboxes describing the timeline of maintenance deadlines and copies of past correspondence letters between the city and county. When Jung raised the issue about why the parks board did not sign the operation addendum last week, discussion remained lively.
"We didn't sign that because the county wants to control our money," said Bill Burnett, parks board president.
Stamper agreed by stating, "Bottom line, we don't want to give the county that kind of control."
Stamper later stated it would take one man working full time to keep up the maintenance issues at Platte Ridge. Burnett added that he thinks the parks board is making progress and it would be nice to hear some positive feedback from the county once in awhile.
"We've had no feedback on the work we already did," said Burnett. "There's issues at the park but there's issues everywhere. We said there was no quick fix and it would take some time. We're trying and if we fail, then you can't say we didn't try. We're trying to run this park with minimal staff. We only got one tractor that moves so fast. We can't fix things overnight."
City administrator Keith Moody agreed the parks board is continuing to address the maintenance issues. He said some work has been completed and some more is in progress. Stamper concluded that the board "could easily wrap up the rest of the maintenance by mid May."

Stop taking supplements and simply eat well! to view more about truly natural supplements. Read the China Study by Dr Campbell who conducted the biggest trial on nutrition to this day. Other clinical trials have shown that men and women who take multivitamins die from more diseases across the board than those that did not take any. You should only supplement when you have a deficiency. People are taking huge dosages of synthetic vitamins and minerals that the body cannot process (ie 1000 mg). If you want to supplement take a natural wholefood like chlorella or spirulina, barley grass which is naturally rich in a broad range of minerals and vitamins but is not synthetic. If you are feeling run down you are much better off reaching for a bowl of fresh fruit than taking a multivitamin. You should also be eating wholefoods, a diet rich in wholefood grains, fruits, legumes and vegetables according to clinical trials. Synthetic multivitamins do not compare to having a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. This is the same increase in risk as being over weight or heavy drinking! The study was conducted over 10 years with 350,000 women as a randomized controlled trial and published in the American Journal of clinical nutrition. Women who take multivitamins increase the risk of developing a breast tumor by 19%!

The Federal Government has announced the commencement of its Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) survival fund for the transport sector.
The Managing Director, Bank of Industry (BOI) Kayode Pitan, at the launch of the transport sector track of the survival scheme, said MSMEs are vital to the growth of the Nigerian economy, emphasising the need to be supported at a trying time such as this occasioned with the pandemic.
He said the federal government has plans to support over 330,000 self-employed people that have been affected by the pandemic with this scheme.
According to him, the transport track of the fund is available to every transporter who drives buses, taxis, tricycles, motorcycles or are in any other kind of transport business.
"This fund is for people whose transport businesses have been affected by the pandemic and the federal government would be disbursing N30,000 grant to 330,000 self-employed people in the country," he said.
He noted that the federal government is doing all it cannot put smiles on the faces of Nigerians, adding that a minimum of 4500 people in each State would get access to the fund.
"We will be working with the unions and we are also using this medium to encourage their members to apply for the fund as it would be on a first-come, first serve basis," he said.
He said to qualify for the fund, transporters must be Nigerians with a verifiable Bank Verification Number (BVN); must be registered with a transport association and self-employed in the transport business.
Also speaking, the president, Ladies on Wheel Association of Nigeria (LOWAN), Mrs. Anyagwa Tolani, said this is the first time her association would partake in a federal government support scheme.
She commended the federal government for the scheme, saying that the fund would help to cushion the effect of the pandemic on their businesses.
She said about 150 women in her association would benefit from this scheme.
"I am very sure that this would attract more women to join our association because we have more than a thousand women that are not registered," she said.

Nothing is more important than the safety of your family, so it's reassuring to know that manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to support safer driving. While new cars feature increasingly sophisticated safety systems, parents should still consider other accessories for babies. Here's a look at three handy safety accessories you should consider for very young children.
Babies spend a lot of time asleep, especially in the car, and their tiny bodies are very susceptible to injury from jolts and sudden stops. As well as an effective child seat, it's important to consider head support or neck pillow. You can fit these accessories to most removable child seats, and they offer customized support to suit your child. Use an infant head support to keep your baby in a comfortable, natural position.
If you live in a particularly cold climate, it's often difficult to keep your baby warm. Moving a newborn around is particularly tricky, especially if you have your hands full. A baby warmer or foot-muff fits around your child's car seat and features a cozy, warm layer that makes sure junior never gets cold. Baby warmers keep your child at a constant temperature in or outside the car, and they look pretty cute too.
It isn't always easy to watch over a young baby in the back of a car, and you need to make sure you don't take your eyes off the road. You can fix an easy view mirror to any headrest, and then quickly angle the glass to suit your driving position. An easy view mirror gives you the reassurance that baby is never out of sight and allows you to focus on the road, too.
Keeping your baby safe in the car is now easier, thanks to the wide range of accessories that parents can buy for their children. You don't need to spend a lot of money to look after your baby, and you can choose from an increasing range of colors and designs that suit your precious cargo.
It's difficult to keep children happy, particularly on long road trips. Most parents are continually on the lookout for new entertainment accessories because young minds generally need some things to distract them on long journeys. Make your next road trip less stressful with one or more of these brilliant entertainment accessories.
It becomes pretty expensive to buy DVD players for every child, especially when you have lots of children. Overhead DVD players avoid the arguments by getting everyone to watch the same film, and wireless headphones stop the kids tangling each other up. You can fix an overhead DVD player to the car roof with a simple bracket system and then fold it away when nobody is using it.
Many families now own tablet computers, and these amazing devices make it easier to take home entertainment into your car (and back again). A backseat tablet holder is easy to install and allows you to convert your iPad or similar device to a movie screen, games station or music player. Many manufacturers now also make accessories that you can adapt to suit the size of your tablet computer.
It's easy to damage tablet computers, games consoles, and headphones when they're rolling around the back of a car. If you want your kids' entertainment systems to last, invest in a simple organizer that you can fit the back of the driver or front passenger's seat. The different compartments in these handy accessories allow you to stock up on books, games, computers, and headphones, and any other road trip essentials you can think of. Best of all, you can simply unhook the device, and move it to another car, as and when you need to.
Don't leave the kids with nothing to keep them occupied on your next family road trip. Entertainment accessories don't need to cost a fortune, especially when they simply let you take your children's favorite home entertainment gadgets on the road.

Bahrain: Jail term for human rights defender Nabeel Rajab exposes authorities'...
Bahrain: Jail term for human rights defender...
Imprisoning Nabeel Rajab simply for sharing his opinion is a flagrant violation of human rights, and an alarming sign that the Bahraini authorities will go to any length to silence criticism. Salil Shetty, Amnesty International's Secretary General
The sentencing of human rights defender Nabeel Rajab, in his absence, to two years in prison for TV interviews is the latest shocking display of zero tolerance for freedom of expression by the Bahraini authorities, Amnesty International said.
"Nabeel Rajab should be commended for shedding light on allegations of serious human rights abuses; instead, Bahrain's government and judiciary have once again tightened their chokehold on freedom of expression and branded him a criminal. No one should be jailed for speaking out about human rights." Said Salil Shetty.
Nabeel Rajab was jailed in June 2016 over tweets he made that alleged torture in a Bahraini prison, and criticized the killing of civilians in the Yemen conflict by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition.
On 28 December 2016 a Bahraini court ordered his release, but the authorities refused to release him and instead he was immediately re-arrested and taken into custody in relation to TV interviews he gave in 2015 and 2016. His trial on charges of publishing and disseminating rumours and false news relating to the internal situation in the country began on 23 January.
Nabeel Rajab was held in solitary confinement for over nine months of his detention until his transfer to the Ministry of Interior Hospital in al-Qalaa having suffered from complications following surgery in early April. Prolonged and indefinite solitary confinement violates the prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment. Despite medical reports issued by the hospital confirming that he could not attend his hearings, the court continued the trial. On 14 June Nabeel Rajab's defence lawyers and diplomats from the USA, UK and Australia walked out of court when the judge rejected the lawyers' request to postpone the trial until Nabeel Rajab is fit to attend.
Nabeel Rajab has been in and out of prison since 2012 on charges related to his peaceful human rights activism, and has been banned from leaving Bahrain since November 2014.
Today the High Criminal Court in Manama found him guilty of "publishing and disseminating rumours and false news".
"Nabeel Rajab has been persecuted for years for speaking out against human rights abuses. We reiterate our call on Bahraini authorities to immediately and unconditionally release him, and we are urging them to end their crackdown on freedom of expression and ensure the right of everyone in Bahrain to peacefully express themselves," said Salil Shetty.

this past weekend, i went back to my youth - back to athens, ohio / ohio univeristy. i have been a southern transplant for over 10 years now. there are some things i love about atlanta, like not having to own a scarf, outdoor restaurants and dogwood trees in the spring. however, with the first step off the plane in ohio, i can smell my youth, i can smell the crumpled fall leaves, i can smell the chill of fall. can someone please bottle this smell? things seem simpler here, the sky is closer to you here. i want to go back to the days where it has snowed too much to leave your house, and you don't feel one bit guilty about doing nothing. i want to see the amazing colors of the turning leaves. i want to wear sweatpants to the grocery store, because people definitely do not do that in atlanta! somehow this old life is embedded into my DNA, i can't escape it and i never want to forget it or how it makes me feel.

Of shock and self-interest
by Tony W. Cartledge | May 13, 2011 | Opinion
Last night I attended a performance of the musical Hair: the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, which I had not seen before. I became familiar with the music when it first came out — or at least with the tamer songs like "Aquarius," "Hair," "Easy To Be Hard," "Good Morning, Starshine," and "Let the Sun Shine In."
Several of the other numbers were considered quite scandalous when the show debuted off-Broadway in 1968 — as was its hippie infused counter-culture theme, its anti-war message, its glorification of illegal drugs, and the bohemian lifestyle of the "tribe" members who make up the cast. Not to mention a dimly lit scene at the end of the first act when the entire cast sheds its clothes for an artistic purpose that I didn't quite grasp.
The musical has lost some of its shock value these days. Most of the formerly forbidden words trotted out in songs like "Sodomy" and "I Got Life" are in common use on television these days, and the sexual revolution is old news. Since the military now relies on volunteers rather than a draft, anti-war protests are rare and the main conceit of the show no longer applies.
That leads me to wonder whether our opinions about America's involvement in wars around the world would change if they affected us more directly. There are ways in which we're all involved, of course — taxpayers pay the bill for the ongoing conflicts, a tab that has reached obscene proportions every year for the last decade. And, most of us know some young man or woman who has been killed or injured in the fighting.
But no one is made to go. What if a military draft were reinstituted? What if our sons and daughters were forced into the armed forces and shipped into harm's way against their will? Would there be an outbreak of anti-war protests on college campuses, marches on the Capitol, and a major movement of opposition to the wars?
You bet there would. It's amazing how more active we become when motivated by self-interest rather than something like, shall we say, Christian ethics.

I'll Mature When I'm Dead: Dave Barry's Amazing Tales of Adulthood (Paperback)
By Dave Barry
I'll Mature When I'm Dead is the New York Times bestseller from "the funniest man in America" (New York Times). Let Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and nationally unrecognized voice of maturity Dave Barry make the journey to adulthood a little easier—and a lot funnier.
Not everyone has to be dragged kicking and screaming through adulthood. Dave Barry will help through this process—with his hilarious takes on parenting, changing self-image, the battle of the sexes, technology, health care, celebrityhood, and even vampires!
Dave Barry is a humor columnist. For 25 years he was a syndicated columnist whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.
Dave has also written a total of 25 books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom "Dave's World," in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.
Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men's underpants with a Barbie doll.
In his spare time, Dave is a candidate for president of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets.
Dave lives in Miami, Florida, with his wife, Michelle, a sportswriter. He has a son, Rob, and a daughter, Sophie, neither of whom thinks he's funny.
"Despite years of medication, Dave Barry is still the funniest damn writer in the whole country. Let's hope he never grows up."—Carl Hiaasen
"Dave Barry's best book so far, which is saying a lot."—P.J. O'Rourke

I want to delete an unwanted reminders list (not a reminder). I go to menu button top left corner and then select edit in to right, but have tried swiping list but no delete button appears. Have scrolled to bottom of page, but still no delete button. Am I doing something wrong or is there an ios 6 bug in reminders?
After you select edit, there should be some red delete circles to left of each list name. Just tap the one to the left of the list you want to delete.
Thanks for replying. There aren't any delete circles.
Are u jail broken? Because when u select edit, red delete circles should pop up on the left.

The Nuns Fire creeps toward Sonoma Valley on Oct. 17, 2017 in Kenwood, Calif.
The last of the Northern California fires that killed 43 people and burned more than 100,000 acres was fully contained Tuesday, officials said.
The milestone came in the afternoon when crews surrounded the Tubbs Fire, the deadliest of the fires that erupted late Oct. 8 and early Oct. 9. The blaze incinerated 2,900 homes and killed 22 people as it roared southwest from Calistoga into neighborhoods in northern Santa Rosa.
On Monday night, crews reached full containment on the Nuns Fire in Napa and Sonoma counties. The blaze started near Glen Ellen and eventually merged with several other fires, including the Partrick and Adobe. In all, those fires have burned 56,556 acres and killed two people, said the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Another North Bay blaze, the Pocket Fire north of Geyserville in Sonoma County, also was contained Monday, Cal Fire said.
The Redwood Valley Fire in Mendocino County was contained Thursday after killing nine people, including teenage siblings Kressa and Kai Shepherd, and burning more than 36,000 acres, Cal Fire said. The Atlas Fire in Napa and Solano counties was contained Friday after blackening more than 51,000 acres and claiming six lives.
Statewide, October's fires destroyed 8,920 homes and commercial structures, Cal Fire said. State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said insured losses from the fires have topped $3 billion.

InterCity 125 vlak (često nazivan High Speed Train ili HST) je vlak velikih brzina koji postiže brzinu preko 200 km/h, a prometuje na prugama koje povezuje velike gradove u Velikoj Britaniji. Vlak je postigao rekord 1987. godine, kada je postao najbrži vlak na dizelski pogon, a postigao je brzinu od 238 km/h.

APT (advanced passanger train)

Već 1970 je u Engleskoj postojao vlak velike brzine. Taj vlak se pogonio plinskim turbinama. Posjedovao je i zračnu amortizaciju i tehnologiju naginjanja. Odmah nakon probne vožnje su naručene tri električne verzije ovoga vlaka. Međutim, ubrzo ze pokazalo kako je ovaj vlak imao previše novih thnologija koje još nisu bile spremne u ono doba. Naginjanje je zakazivalo, pucali su konstrukcijski dijelovi i sve u svemu vlak je bio samo niz promašaja. Iskustva naučena na njemu pomogla su u razvoju HST-a.

Zamjena

Dana 16. studenoga 2007. Ministarstvo prijevoza raspisalo je natječaj za ponudu za traženje nasljednika HST-a, pod nazivom Intercity Express Program trima konzorcijima.

Sunday night, when my son asked me why we shoot each other dead almost every day in America, I got to tell him that it's because we are "free." We are free to get a .223 caliber AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle and a 9mm handgun. And we are free to sell those weapons to someone who might shoot and kill 49 people in a nightclub because of whom they choose to love. We are free to arm ourselves against any potentially tyrannical federal government and also free to watch our children bleed to death in our schools, and churches, and clubs.
Lady, if you're teaching your kid that he's "free" to sell guns to prohibited possessors or murder people in a nightclub, you're parenting wrong.
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose… For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues… Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment , nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
Affrighting is inapplicable to the commonly-held firearms gun control advocates today want to ban, thus a ridiculously illogical claim. Brandishing suggests intimidation, a felony in most states, and that's applicable to common-use firearms.
And yes, they actually are coming for our guns. I discussed in depth here how the admin wants to create a registry by making every gun owner a de facto FFL.
Gun control advocates, not "the NRA" are the ones zealously perverting the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Colleges need to get the credit card companies out of the campuses, as well as stopping the colleges from taking money from the companies because they can solicit their product on the college campuses just for a fee. Colleges should be held accountable for some of the debt issues because they are the ones allowing this behavior. Colleges need to ban or have it made illegal to solicit on campuses to students. Credit Card companies should not be on college campuses marketing to the students, taking advantage of the situation. Students are easy targets for marketers to solicit their product to, which can harm the student??™s future. College should be the student??™s priority and that is what the colleges should want for their students. Young college students are money makers for the credit card companies, and these companies know that there may be help for majority of the students to pay off their debt. They offer special promotions just in hopes they can sign up a student. Students have been the targets on the campuses and we need to protect them from being a victim of this vicious cycle of debt and protect them from what may be a harsh future.
Every year there are thousands of students that are being handed several credit card options. This is not a good thing for a student that is struggling, but this is the type of student these companies want because they have a long credit life. This allows credit card companies make a lot of money in interest alone. What happens is a student lives off a fixed income and a small portion of that has to go on a payment. So what do college students do they make the payment at the minimum amount which shows they will be paying more on interest than principle; which causes the student??™s to be in debt longer. The average student leaves college with at least $5,000 in debt from a credit card; this is not including the debt they already have in loans for school.
Credit Card companies have been marketing on college campuses for many years praying on young college student??™s wallets. The way they market to these students are through things they may need to survive or just need to have to stay warm or clothed. Some of the things they have used in the past to solicit their products to the students are pizza, gift certificates for food & stores, and clothing. These are only a few of the things they have done for the students; and in return they want a filled out application from the students. This is just taking advantage of some of the students alone.
Many college students do not really understand the terms of credit card companies. On average a college students are solicited a credit card twenty-five times to fifty times a year alone. Once they get a student, and as soon as they make a mistake the fees just start to pile on the card. This can lead into a bigger issue down the road and putting them into further debt. In 2009 college students should have generated over $20 billion in penalty fees alone. This shows us that the card companies benefit from students across the country.
How can the colleges help They can help the students first, by banning all credit card companies from all college campuses. This leaves less temptation to the college students across the country, and allows students to concentrate on school while on campus. Second, all students should be required to take a class on loans and credit cards so they get the best knowledge possible so they eliminate the possibility of getting further into debt and also learn how to manage it. Managing debt is a great skill all students should try to learn while in school. Colleges should make a class mandatory for all students because every student can benefit from it one way or another especially an undergraduate fresh out of high school.
How has the country help resolving some of the major issues of credit cards On the twenty-second day of May of two-thousand and nine Obama signed, The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. The act does prohibit unfair rates for students and young people. In the past you could be eighteen years old to receive a credit card without a co-signer, but recently the age limit has increased to twenty-one years of age without a co-signer. Now a co-signer is a must to an individual that is under the age of twenty-one that wants to have the responsibility that comes with the card.
Student??™s already sacrifice their financial futures with loans just to put themselves through school, and here are credit card companies that want to take advantage of young students just to make money. Students should not have to deal with the peer pressures of credit card companies that are soliciting their products on campuses not just once but many times during the year. This tactic will win many students over, and in the long put them further in debt. Colleges and the country should really focus on educating the students about finances and there degree. The thing that will help limit the issue of credit card companies on campuses all around would be, ban the companies off all college campuses across the United States. The first priority a college should have to the students is to make sure they are getting a proper education at a reasonable cost; a cost that do not include unnecessary debt for the students. All colleges should just pull that welcome matt out from under their feet and tell them to take their product elsewhere. If the United States bans the card companies from colleges altogether they would be doing many favors for many students to come, and just maybe not so many students would be in debt so bad when leaving college.

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers is a black-and-white film noir released in the United States in 1946, starring Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott and Kirk Douglas in his film debut.

Martha is taken home. Later that night, Sam comes for her, but hides when her aunt hears Martha's beloved cat wandering on the staircase. When Mrs. Ivers attacks the pet with her...

Data science is not accounting, it's an art form requiring empathy and creativity
In one corner stands art, in the other science. For too long, a perceived tension has been allowed to exist between these two disciplines, as if students, marketers and brand executives have to pick between the two. It's an absolutely false dichotomy. In fact, some of the most inspiring art is grounded in science – take Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian man for example – while science has always been influenced by the infinite possibilities inherent in artistic expression. Put simply, potentially brilliant partnerships exist between the two fields, and anyone interested in taking full advantage of the data at our fingertips must take note.

Aaron Holiday dribbled past a Thomas Welsh screen and had the ball poked away.
For a split second, the junior point guard nearly lost UCLA's chance to go ahead in the final seconds of its tied game against Wisconsin. But Holiday regained his dribble, blew past Badger Ethan Happ and laid the ball off the backboard and in, just as the shot clock buzzer sounded.
One wayward inbounds pass later, ball game.
Holiday's game-winner ended an up-and-down 72-70 victory for No. 23 UCLA (4-1) over Wisconsin (2-3) in the third-place game of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Bruins spent most of the game playing catch-up – they either trailed or tied the game for nearly 16 consecutive minutes spanning the first and second halves.
But after the Badgers built their game-high lead of 12 with less than two minutes left in the first half, the Bruins scored 16 of the game's next 18 points to take the lead. From there, neither team could finish off the other.
Coach Steve Alford's squad built a 9-point lead with 13 minutes left in the game, but Wisconsin flipped that to its own 6-point lead with less than four minutes remaining.
Then came Holiday's takeover – he scored UCLA's last 10 points of the contest to finish with a team-high 18 points.
Four other Bruins scored in double figures, but turnovers again were a problem as the Badgers scored 21 points off 19 turnovers. Senior forward Gyorgy Goloman and redshirt sophomore guard Prince Ali combined for 11 turnovers, and Ali was additionally guilty of committing a technical foul in the first half where he shoved a Wisconsin player to the ground.
Had the game gone into overtime, Alford would have only had five full-health players available from his usual eight-man rotation late in the second half. Goloman and freshman guard Kris Wilkes both fouled out, and freshman guard Jaylen Hands twisted an ankle by landing on a Wisconsin player's foot after a layup attempt.
Wilkes had his worst game of the season after scoring in double digits in all of UCLA's previous four games. He only scored 4 points on 2-of-5 shooting to go with four rebounds.

It does always feel like the governments sign onto these commitments too little and too late, yet we have been waiting so long at this point I suppose it is great to get anything concrete in the right direction.
I do wonder still about the wisdom of putting a tax or higher price on carbon as the way to stimulate the shift to clean energy sources. It doesn't make sense. It is actually backwards. More over, taxing carbon before clean energy is widely available at scale is unfair to the consumer and will cause financial hardship. It makes more sense to reduce the price of clean energy first through proper incentives, and stimulate the shift to clean energy by positive means, not penalties.
Very sound advice Evan. Alternatives are needed otherwise any measure would become punitive and unfair. This is why the clear winner is conservation (in case energy or resources are wasted) – a good example would be lights that are on during daytime or when they are not needed. There are clear solutions both technological and behavioral that help resolve this at a profit and yet they are not yet being implemented. The second step is efficiency. More efficient irrigation of agricultural lands is both possible and highly attractive financially. Once energy consumption has been reduced to a reasonable level alternative options in terms of renewables can be envisaged. The phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies and a build-up of support for renewables can make the transition possible and attractive. The process will also help generate green sector employment that will more then offset the jobs lost in the fossil fuel sector. But everything starts with education and awareness – based on the reactions in the general public I see we have a long way to go.

May God help the people of Yemen to defeat and eliminate the Saudi terrorist mercenaries. Where is the worldwide outrage at the Saudi war crimes against civilians? Oh that's right its just some poor yemeni people that are being massacred and ethnicly cleansed, they don't count. The UN does not give rats ass about the poor countries, they only serve to legitimize the illegal actions of the rich countries. They are like a kangaroo court, there is no justice in this world. The Bible says the meek shall inherit the earth. Untill then fight the bastards everywhere.
