In addition to diet and proper hoof care, circulation also plays an important role in hoof health. Poor circulation may exhibit itself in multiple ways, from unhealthy hoof wall to a shortened stride and heel soreness.
SmartSox provides a comprehensive selection of ingredients to help support proper hoof circulation. These include the amino acid arginine, a precursor to nitric oxide, which plays an important role in healthy blood flow; herbs such as yucca, turmeric and boswellia to help alleviate discomfort; potent antioxidants including grape seed extract and vitamin C to support tissue health; and Flo-Ox®, a proprietary blend designed to maintain healthy vascularity.
SmartSox is designed for horses with heel soreness, as well as those with weak hoof wall and poor growth, as a complement to biotin-based hoof supplements.
Please consult with your veterinarian before using SmartSox for horses with laminitis.

BIDDEFORD — As a basketball coach, Ron Cote always urged his players to give their best every day, whether in practice or in a game. When health issues limited his ability to do that anymore, Cote knew it was time to stop coaching.
Ron Cote, one of Maine's most highly respected basketball coaches during a career that dates back to 1973, resigned last month after just one season as coach of the Scarborough High's girls' team.
Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer
One of the state's most respected coaches, Cote resigned a little more than a week as Scarborough High girls' basketball coach after one season, ending a coaching career that began in 1973 in Old Town and including a lengthy stay at Biddeford, where he coached both boys' and girls' teams.
"This is not the way I wanted it to end," said Cote. "I had planned on staying on at Scarborough for a little while, anyway. I really enjoyed the season. It was a great year."
But while this past winter was successful on the basketball court for the Red Storm, with a 16-4 record, it was very stressful for Cote.
Cote had resigned as the girls' coach at Biddeford in 2010 after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The treatment included surgery to remove the polyps. He regained enough energy to return to coaching two years ago, as an assistant at Cheverus. The desire to run his own team was strong, so he took the Scarborough job last October after Tom Maines resigned.
Early in the season he was involved in a car accident that required him to go through physical therapy for five weeks. Then, during one of his regular every-three-months cancer check-ups, spots were found on his bladder.
Cote, 63, had surgery to remove them, and he missed a game at Kennebunk on Jan. 21. He missed a day of practice as well, then returned.
Cote was fatigued at the end of the season and lacked energy, thinking it was because of the stress of the season. But a week later, Cote awoke one morning in extreme pain. He was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, a painful inflammatory condition that affects the neck, shoulders and hips. That, said Cote, was when he knew he would not be able to continue coaching.
"I try to do things 100 percent," said Cote, who also coached the University of New England men's team for seven seasons. "I don't think right now I could be effective. If I can't do the job the way I think it should be done, then it's best that I'm not a head coach."
So he resigned, reluctantly. "It was hard to walk away," he said. "I was just getting used to Scarborough, just starting to get comfortable.
"I hated to leave this way. The administration, the community, the parents, they all supported me. The kids were great. I enjoyed everything there."
Mike LeGage, the athletic director at Scarborough who must now find his fourth girls' basketball coach in four seasons, certainly understood.
"Coach Cote was an outstanding addition to our athletic family of coaches," wrote LeGage in an email. "He is a true gentleman and a remarkable coach and leader with a great basketball mind We feel so fortunate to have had him for the time we did."
Don Briggs, the president of the Scarborough boosters, said Cote will be difficult to replace. "Those guys don't just fall out of trees," he said.
But Briggs, who played for Cote at Biddeford and coached with him at UNE, said this was the only decision to make.
"He's a person I have a lot of feelings for," said Briggs, whose daughter Ashley is a sophomore at Scarborough. "I think this is the right decision for him, his family, and for everything he wants to do."
Mike Giordano, the girls' coach at South Portland, said Cote's departure is a loss for everyone, not just Scarborough.
"He has so much to offer the kids," said Giordano. "It's a loss for the game, it's a loss for the community. He's not just an Xs and Os coach, but a life lesson coach."
Cote hopes to continue in some way. He wants to offer individual lessons to players, as he did for years with Andrew Shaw, the former Thornton Academy star who now plays at Bentley University. He also wants to help coaches who would like his advice. Cote said he has already spoken to a couple coaches who wanted to learn more about the match-up zone defense and flex offense that he has employed -- very successfully -- over 36 years.
"That's the kind of stuff I enjoy doing," said Cote.
Cote took the Scarborough job knowing the program's recent history. He was following Jim Seavey and Maines, two highly-successful coaches who left for personal reasons, Maines after just one year. "I didn't go there intending to be a short time," said Cote. "But I needed to relieve stress from my life and try to take care of myself.
"You know, my whole career has been about helping other people. I think my body is telling me something, to take care of myself."

Charged with Attempted Murder, Assault, Misconduct
SURPRISE, Ariz. – A 25-year-old Telluride man is in Arizona police custody in connection with a near-fatal shooting in Surprise last month in an apparent dispute over drugs, authorities say.
Robert Barragan of Telluride was arrested at a Phoenix residence Oct. 22 and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and misconduct involving weapons in the early-morning shooting of another man outside a residence in Surprise's Original Town Site on Sept. 14.
To protect his safety, the 24-year-old victim has not been identified, said Sgt. Bert Anzini, a spokesman for the Surprise Police Department. Anzini described the two men as acquaintances.
The shooting occurred in front of a multi-family apartment complex in the 15400 block of Jerry Street with a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun, according to court records.
"The victim was shot seven times at relatively close range. He is still not able to speak with us and answer questions," Anzini said.
Shortly after the incident, Surprise police developed leads that Barragan fled the state and may have headed to either California or Colorado, where he has friends and family. The U.S. Marshal's Violent Offenders Task Force, which includes a member of the Surprise Police Department, eventually went to Telluride.
Along with members of the local police department the task force raided the Shandoka Apartment complex Oct. 10 where some family members of Barragan's live, but he was not there, said James Kolar, Chief Marshal of the Telluride department. "We kept getting word perhaps he was being hidden by friends and family members," Kolar said.
However, sometime after the raid, Telluride police took a report of an auto theft from the Shandoka Apartment complex, and later found the vehicle on Interstate 40 in northern Arizona between Chambers and Holbrook, Kolar said. The location is about 257 miles or 4.5 hours away from Telluride, in southwest Colorado. Barragan was arrested a day later. He was taken into custody by members of the marshal's Violent Offenders Task Force without incident, according to Anzini.
Barragan is being held in lieu of $300,000 cash-only bail at the Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail. Court documents obtained from Maricopa County Superior Court state, " (the) defendant poses a grave threat to those associated with this case."
Barragan has three prior arrests, according to Arizona Department of Corrections records. He served a combined total of nearly three years for two counts of forgery and one of misconduct involved weapons. Forgery is a Class 4 felony; the misconduct charge is a Class 6 Felony.
Barragan was scheduled to make his first court appearance Oct. 30 in Superior Court for a formal reading of the charges.

Cryogenic mill with liquid nitrogen Autofill System for sample preparation
RETSCH's new CryoMill is the ideal choice for size reduction of sample materials which cannot be processed at room temperature. An integrated cooling system ensures that the grinding jar is continually cooled with liquid nitrogen before and during the grinding process. Thus the sample is embrittled and volatile components are preserved. An Autofill System provides liquid nitrogen in the required amount so that the user never gets into direct contact with the LN2 which makes operating the mill particularly safe.
The new CryoMill generation achieves considerably improved grind sizes thanks to the increased oscillating frequency of 30 Hz. Another new feature is the possibility to store up to 9 SOPs. Further improvements include a reinforced housing, optimized liquid nitrogen duct and new accessories such as an adapter for 6 reaction vials and a 10 ml grinding jar. The mill can also be operated without cooling which makes it suitable for a vast range of applications.
• Powerful cryogenic grinding by impact and friction
• 3 different grinding modes (cryogenic, dry or wet at ambient temperature)
• Closed LN2-system (autofill) for enhanced safety, avoids any contact of the user with liquid nitrogen
• Screw-top grinding jars for convenient, leak-proof operation
• Wide range of accessories including LN2 feeding system, various jar and ball sizes, adapter racks
Retsch is the leading solution provider for neutral-to-analysis sample preparation and characterization of solids. On the basis of more than 90 years of experience RETSCH develops innovative size reduction and sieving equipment which is characterized by excellent performance, operating convenience, safety and a long lifetime.

Today, my family and I had our Thanksgiving dinner.�We had turkey, yams, cranberry sauce, stuffing and all the other trimmings.
It is, of course, one week early. Since my sons and I work retail, we all are scheduled to work not only Thanksgiving Day, but the dreaded Black Friday also.�We were really depressed.�What to do?�What to do?
I have heard various rumors from customers saying that retail employees are signing petitions against working those two days or threatening an outright walkout because they want to spend the holiday with their families.�
Then I remembered a family back home in Franklin Park. They had a boy who was a soldier during the Vietnam conflict.�He had a leave in summer, and they were pretty sure he wouldn't be home for the holidays.�So, they put up the tree and decorated the house and bought presents and had their Christmas – in July.�
I know that the solution my family and I came up with for Thanksgiving may not fit everyone's families. I just bring it up as an alternative to other, more drastic solutions –�like losing your job.�
Purses are still strained and many haven't recovered from the Great Recession. So you don't have a turkey or stuffing.�So Aunt Myrtle can't come and bring her famous green bean casserole.�Make it yourself and if it fails, laugh about it.�If it is good, celebrate it. Or skip it entirely this year and make something else. Have hot dogs and beans, or frozen pizza.�
The point is to not let the situation get you down.�I am not preaching from high on a pulpit here. My family and I are not independently wealthy. I don't work just because it's a jolly hobby and I like standing 30 hours a week.
We don't know people like Donald Trump and David Koch.�And truth be known, we even may have spent a little more on Thanksgiving than we should have. We will have some leftovers to cover us and, after that, thank God for the Cary Grove Food Pantry.�
I am determined to work through the hard times, and every now and then I see a glimmer of the good.�It isn't the glimmer of gold, but of family.�
Somehow we will get through this. My mom loved to say that. She would try to think of creative ways to get through bad situations. Like when the power went out and scared the bejabbers out of her three little kids, all under the age of 8. She got candles and ice cream out and declared we were going to have a candle-lit ice cream social.�We sang songs, we told jokes and giggled like idiots for three hours until the lights came back on.
Here's hoping you can light candles and laugh like an idiot until the lights come back on in your life. I wish all of you the best Thanksgiving you've ever had this year.�
• Jo Anne Minerly and her husband have been Cary residents for about 28 years. In 2009 and 2010, she wrote a series of guest columns for the Northwest Herald detailing her family's struggles with unemployment in McHenry County.

Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros
A couple weeks ago I received a request to review Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros. I've been meaning to try this new addition to the HdM stable, so I agreed. Without further ado....
I've selected the Sueno size. A 5.25"x54 Robusto. At first glance, nothing about this cigar reminds me of Hoyo de Monterrey. In my mind, this is a shame. HdM is an old, old brand with a ton of history and tradition. I feel none of that looking at this cigar. No familiar colors, no familiar art, and the Hoyo de Monterrey name is difficult to find at first glance despite being printed right at the top. I'm a sucker for a good story, and the romanctic picture this powerful brand name paints is not being portrayed here.
However, I do like the cedar sleeve! I'm also a sucker for bells and whistles....as long as the cigar is good.
The cedar sleeve has been removed and I'm looking at the wrapper. It's thick and leathery with a marbleized color that's mostly chestnut-brown. The pre-light aroma consists of cedar, likely a direct influence of the cedar sleeve. The cigar is firmly rolled, free of soft spots, and feels very heavy in the hand.
As for the flavor....well, there's not much to say. The cigar is very smooth and balanced, but pretty cut and dry. Like most HdM sticks, there is no evolution of flavor. No twists or turns. Just a consistent flavor from start to finish, which is likely why so many folks enjoy them. They know exactly what they're going to get with every puff, every time they pick up a Hoyo de Monterrey. This is what I got: a soft, somewhat creamy bouquet with a sweet, cedary finish. The aroma is toasty and woodsy with a hint of zest....a black pepper note. This remains true for the entire burn....with the addition of a minty influence from time to time. A very odd influence. Maybe my palate is off, but to me there is no doubt a trace of mint that hits my palate now and then, and lingers long whenever I notice it. That part is not for me.
Construction-wise it's great, what you would expect from a HdM. A well-rolled cigar that burns slow, cool, and even with a good draw. The cigar pumps out a generous amount of smoke with every third draw. I draw in threes....two short draws then one, long, exaggerated draw, allowing the smoke to roll around my palate a bit before slowly exhaling – always saving a little for the nose.
Now it's time to rate the cigar. The flavor thing stands out in my mind. That minty note! Like I said, it's not for me. Had the cigar been consistent in cedar and toast, it may have scored slightly higher despite being one dimensional and uneventful. But, I just can't get past the mint. Weird!

Fellows in the Community
Ellen Clark
M.Ed. Secondary Education
The George Washington University, 2010
Republic of Georgia, 2007–2008
I served in the Republic of Georgia as a Peace Corps Volunteer, teaching English from 2007 to 2008. I was in a group that was evacuated due to a conflict between Russia and Georgia. I was very disappointed when we were evacuated. I realized how much I loved teaching while serving in Georgia, and I was eager to continue.
Soon after returning to the United States, I read about Prince George's County Teaching Fellows program with The George Washington University (GWU) on the Peace Corps website. After speaking with the program manager, a former Botswana RPCV and a GWU graduate, I knew that I wanted to be a Peace Corps Fellow and earn my master's in secondary education with a concentration in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL).
The GWU Peace Corps Fellows/USA program provides thorough teacher training and emphasizes the importance of becoming a reflective practitioner. There are four other Peace Corps Fellows in my cohort—all of us with various backgrounds and experiences, but with a common desire to become the best teachers we can be. Being a part of the fellowship program has not only provided me with a support system and a new group of friends, but also professional colleagues who serve as resources and springboards for new ideas.
As a part of my fellowship program, I taught at a middle school as an ESOL teacher during the fall semester and am currently teaching ESOL at an elementary school. I teach a diverse population in an increasingly multicultural community. It is exciting to be able to meet and work with people and students from countries such as Cameroon, Haiti, and El Salvador. I am scheduled to graduate from GWU in December 2010 and I hope to continue to work as an ESOL teacher for Prince George's County Public Schools.

Stanley Chang spoke today on the need for millionaires to carry a higher tax burden.
We recently introduced our platform: the Agenda for Change, which calls for bold progressive policy solutions such as job creation through government investments in infrastructure, free college education in exchange for service, and universal public pre-kindergarten. None of these programs would be possible without an equitable tax system in which everybody contributes his or her fair share.

He's been nominated for two Academy Awards. He's had a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His latest movie opened to $37 million earlier this month. So why would Mark Wahlberg want to star in a reality show?
"I thought kind of the same thing," executive producer Rasha Drachkovitch tells TVGuide.com. "It definitely helps that the subject matter is his family and the family business."
That family business, the Hingham, Mass., restaurant Wahlburgers, is the focus of the new A&E reality show of the same name. Premiering Wednesday at 10:30/9:30c, the docu-series follows Wahlberg, along with his two brothers, singer and Blue Bloods star Donnie and chef Paul Wahlberg, in their adventures running a restaurant together.

Simply the best, great food, great service &great atmosphere – We have visited Michael's many times over the past few years and each time are expectations are exceeded. A few words describe our experience, WELCOMING, FRIENDLY, GRACIOUS, EXCEPTIONAL FOOD, SUPERB SERVICE are a few of those words. We have recommended this restaurant to many of our friends and all who have gone have called and thanked us for telling them about it. While writing this review my mouth waters for their "Bang Bang Shrimp" followed by one of the Chief's excellent creations.
If you like great food, generous cocktails, a relaxed atmosphere provides an extraordinary dining experience then hurry, run, don't walk to Michaels Valley Grill. Oh, don't miss the GREAT Jazz Trio on Thursdays.
Our recent discovery of GREAT food and gracious hosts – our recent second visit, proved our first incredible experience was not a fluke.
As owners of legendary AAA FOUR DIAMOND Inn we search for the best dining experiences when we are away from the Inn.
Our innkeepers raved about Michael's and insisted we try the experience.We were so pleased that we could not stop constantly recommending it to others
I encourage any discerning diners to reserve now for the Michael's experience.
The last two reviews I just read are antithetical to our experience.
John Julie & Erin
AWFUL SERVICE, DISRESPECTFUL – Everyone understands when a restaurant is busy or having an off night...but to be treated with disrespect is unacceptable and very disappointing. Me or my family will never return.
Ran out of food (and wasn't informed until a substitute was brought to the table and we questioned it), food was cold, when we questioned the owner and wife we were given major attitude and disrespect.
If you work in a profession that requires customer service (as I do), you always treat the customer with politeness and respect because you want them to return. From the moment we walked in the door this did not occur and progressively got worse through out our meal. Unacceptable.
Please do not go here.
If you want a cold meal and a hostess with an attitude – Michael's grill is where you should go!
Great food and some great jazz music with vocals on TH, FR, SAT – In a little shopping center in Penfield is Michael's Valley Grill. You can drive by it if you are not looking but find it and go in, eat and enjoy some really good jazz and vocals. Veal Romano, Lemon Torte and Baby Back Ribs are wonderful. Little on the expensive side but worth it.

It's in my blood. "My great-grandfather started the company nearly 50 years ago in Italy, selling recovered brick and stone." says Amighini, whose grandfather and father later abandoned the practice to focus on demolition. But today, inspired by his study of architecture and history, Amighini and his brothers have created AMIGHINI, an international enterprise with posts on both U.S. coasts. "Our goal is to save what might otherwise be discarded. It is our passion." Thus, every door, window and gate they salvage across Europe and South America is sent to their workshop in Argentina, where each piece is restored by a cadre of detail-obsessed artisans. It's been a rewarding experience for Amighini, who hope one day to see the family's fifth generation take the reins. "But we'll have to wait," he laughs. "The oldest ones are just six."

In Part 2 you read all about the saga of our latest Jeep purchase. To briefly recap, a buddy saddled us with a free but unregistrable CJ-5 with a good drivetrain, so we naturally had to buy something to put it in. Along came a deal on an $800 '71 CJ-6 that needed a drivetrain. Since the CJ-5's engine seemed like it would be a strong runner, we were able to sell an engine we had on the shelf awaiting our next project to recoup the CJ-6's purchase price, then we sold off the rest of the odds and ends we didn't need from both vehicles for a $339.45 profit.
However, when we finally got the CJ-6 up and running for last month's driveway cover shoot, we did so with no front brakes, only four wires in the vehicle to control the ignition, severely bald, leaky, dry-rotten tires, and a 5-gallon fuel can on the passenger-side floorboard as our gas tank. Otherwise, the CJ-6 had absolutely no working lights or switches, cooling system, fuel system, or electrical system. Since the goal was to make the CJ-6 functional enough to get through this year's TDS Desert Safari without killing ourselves or others, we needed to start spinning wrenches in a hurry.
We began with the front brakes, but it soon became apparent that finding parts for a '71 Jeep locally wasn't going to be as easy as it should have been. Maybe it's just us, but we don't even consider this an old Jeep. After the counter donkeys at three different parts stores looked at us like we were speaking Idiot-ese, we finally found some front shoes and hub seals at our local NAPA. The writing was on the wall, so we gave up on the parts stores for all but the most mundane of purchases and dove straight into the 4Wheel Drive Hardware catalog.
There's nothing quite like having a source for all the little hard-to-find odds and ends you'll need for an older Jeep project, as well as the big stuff. You can literally build a Jeep from scratch out of the 4Wheel Drive Hardware catalog. Before you start thinking our strokage isn't well deserved, just try to find an underseat fuel-tank hold-down strap or a tranny mount for a T14 at your local auto parts store. Heck, we couldn't even come up with a part number for a V-6 radiator at any of our parts stores, let alone find one, but 4Wheel Drive Hardware lists a couple, including a heavy-duty three-core version. You can check out the parts list for everything we ordered, including the buildup tally to date.

Tokyo Olympic games: No economic miracle for JapanSeptember 12, 2013: 5:00 AM ET
At best, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games will offer a pleasant distraction from Japan's economic woes. Here's why.
By Michael Fitzpatrick
FORTUNE -- Not long after the ancient Romans hijacked all things Greek and turned them into glorious Roman values -- races in the full nude, a.k.a. the Olympics, is just one example -- they came up with an excellent ruse to control Rome's much-feared "mob." Free bread and free games were the secret, said the cynical Roman elite, of keeping the people placid and complacent.
In 2020, Tokyo will host the descendent of those games. Japan's capital will host the 28-day jock-fest, it was announced last weekend in Buenos Aries. All across the country, Japanese people cheered the news. Banished would be two lost decades of feeble growth, a long-foreseen debt crisis, the griping over an imminent consumer tax hike, and the leaky troubles of the Fukushima triple meltdown.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared that hosting the 2020 Olympics would be an "explosive agent" for the national economy, and Japan's stock exchange, the Nikkei, obligingly soared in anticipation of a golden new era.
Not so fast, say the economists. "'Bread and circuses' it will most certainly be," says Kazumasa Oguro, an associate professor of economics at Hosei University. "That will only benefit a few in Tokyo."
MORE: The rich got a lot richer since the financial crisis
Oguro warns that, at best, the games will seduce the populace and that we should all try to see through the "spin." "But I have to say that that moral boost is rather important," he says.
Just the same, the Tokyo games will not deliver an economic miracle to Japan. Oguro points to the limited estimated impact of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the U.K. economy between July 2005 and July 2017 -- £16.5 billion according to a Lloyds Bank report.
"This estimate would be close to the economic impact (3 trillion yen) of the Tokyo 2020 between 2013 and 2020, which is estimated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, Japan," adds Oguro, who previously worked as a senior economist at the ministry of finance's Policy Research Institute. "It's tiny," he says. That's a lower percentage of GDP than the boost generated by Japan's summer games in Tokyo in 1964, and even Japan's Nagano winter games in 1998.
As a distraction, however, the Olympics couldn't come at a better time for a nation looking for any excuse to avoid thinking about its problems. Public debt is already twice Japan's $5 trillion economy, war drums are beating in Beijing and Tokyo over some far-off disputed islands, and the tsunami and nuclear meltdown-affected areas are still waiting to be reclaimed and rebuilt.
The devastated Tohoku region, which bore a significant brunt of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, still languishes despite a promise over two years ago from the central government to rebuild the area, a reminder that Tokyo, and not the outer regions, matters most.
Nine hundred days after the disaster, only 1.6% of people living in temporary homes have moved to public housing. That's a mere 448 homes for 215,000 survivors, now refugees in cramped, uninsulated, jury-rigged accommodation.
While Japan's central government seems at a loss to explain why there is so little to show for last year's 10 trillion yen disaster rebuilding budget, Tokyo's city council says it is ready to splurge on the building and refurbishing of 10 sports venues in the capital to prepare for the Olympics.
To pay for the games, Tokyo has already set aside 400 billion yen garnered from its tax revenues, a total that is less than two day's spending by Japan's central government. Initially, at least, it won't add to the country's vast debts. Historically, Olympic budgets do have a habit of ballooning by at least four times from their original estimates.
Tokyo will rehabilitate several older venues -- even turning its National Stadium into the shape of a bike-helmet, as designed by starchitect Zaha Hadid. But don't expect the kind of frenzied construction boom that accompanies most Olympics, such as Beijing's.
With no new subway lines, and a modest proposal to link Tokyo's two airports -- Haneda and Narita -- expenditures will not come close to the spectacular transformative days of 1964 when bold programs (equivalent to 3.6% of GDP at the time) such as the Shinkansen high-speed rail line, were launched. The services industry will get the biggest bump, of about 650 billion yen, according to official Tokyo government estimates, followed by construction, with 470 billion yen.
MORE: JPMorgan Chase could lose $15 billion from higher rates
The tourism industry is often touted as a major winner of the Olympic games, but history does not bear that out, says Tokyo-based entrepreneur and commentator Terrie Lloyd. "One number being bandied about is 8 million extra tourists. But given that they only last 28 days, and there are only 95,000 hotel rooms in Tokyo, it's hard to see where they'll all sleep, unless there is a sudden boom in hotel building -- which, of course, there could well be."
Construction boom or no, it's hard to see corporations coming to the rescue when many see Japan's growth stalling.
Indeed, Japan Inc. seems unlikely to translate into an economic boost for the population at large, given its recent track record. According to the Bank of Japan, the nation's top corporations are sitting on massive piles of cash, undermining Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's yearlong call to boost wages and investment. It looks like the circus this time around will be accompanied by less "bread" than usual.

ENTRIES TAGGED "DATA Act"
Uncertain prospects for the DATA Act in the Senate
If legislative efforts to standardize federal government spending data founder in the U.S. Senate, it's a missed opportunity.
The old adage that "you can't manage what you can't measure" is often applied to organizations in today's data-drenched world. Given the enormity of the United States federal government, breaking down the estimated $3.7 trillion dollars in the 2012 budget into its individual allocations, much less drilling down to individual outlays to specific programs and subsequent performance, is no easy task. There are several sources for policy wonks to turn use for applying open data to journalism, but the flagship database of federal government spending at USASpending.gov simply isn't anywhere near as accurate as it needs to be to source stories. The issues with USASpending.gov have been extensively chronicled by the Sunlight Foundation in its ClearSpending project, which found that nearly $1.3 trillion of federal spending as reported on the open data website was inaccurate.
If the people are to gain more insight into how their taxes are being spent, Congress will need to send President Obama a bill to sign to improve the quality of federal spending data. In the spring of 2012, the U.S. House passed by unanimous voice vote the DATA Act, a signature piece of legislation from Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA). H.R. 2146 requires every United States federal government agency to report its spending data in a standardized way and establish uniform reporting standards for recipients of federal funds.

Authorities confirm they have found the car belonging to missing Nelson County teen Alexis Murphy in Albemarle County.
Newsplex media partner Blue Ridge Life Magazine was first to report the white 2003 Nissan Maxima with the license plate number WYN3706 was located Tuesday in the parking lot of the Carmike Six movie theater off of Gardens Boulevard near Albemarle Square Shopping Center.
The Newsplex's Rachel Ryan was the first reporter on the scene and spoke with the young man who alerted police to the vehicle. He says he is friends with the Murphy family and found the car around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. He says he does not know how long it has been parked at the theater.
Investigators waited for a police dog to check the vehicle before they began their search.
Around 10:30 p.m., K-9 dogs picked up a scent at the car leading authorities through the parking lot and toward nearby Arden Place Luxury Apartments. K-9 units searched the clubhouse of the apartment complex.
Employees of the Carmike Six say they do not recall seeing Murphy at the theater over the weekend.
The theater does not have an outdoor security camera, but Nelson County Sheriff David Brooks says officials will return Wednesday morning to try to locate video surveillance from surrounding businesses.
Around 11:30 p.m., the vehicle was towed from the parking lot. Just before midnight, Sheriff Brooks said investigators were leaving for the night and would resume the search Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Brooks said he was "a little surprised" the car was found in Albemarle County.
The investigation into Murphy's disappearance began on Monday. Since then, state police and the FBI have joined the search.

|Shakti Mat
Price per Unit (each):
The Shakti Mat is an amazing product. Simple in design yet profound in its effective relief of tension. For centuries the sages of India have used the "bed of nails" to produce deep states of relaxation. With 6,000 acupressure points on the surface of the mat, the same effect is achieved in a safe, comfortable manner.
Use the Shakti Mat on any area of the body - neck, back, chest, abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, legs and feet. Using the mat against bare skin is most effective, but you can wear light clothing if you wish.
The Shakti Mat includes a carry bag and a booklet of suggested uses for the mat.

text: Josh Flint This Diet Stuff Is Getting Out of Hand Prairie Gleanings Ready to try my new super secret weight loss system? Published on: September 6, 2010 Last week, I heard the outline for one of the most preposterous diets ever. It calls for eating like a caveman. That's right, some sort of hunter/gatherer idea. Basically, it completely ignores the invention of agriculture. That crazy agriculture, I knew it was a fly-by-night fad. Anyhow, as I discussed this diet with the person, I tried to point out how impossible that would be. After all, this person didn't exactly strike me as a hunter. It's o.k., she said, cheating is allowed. The diet does make a big production out of eating wild meat, but when you can't find that, farm-raised will do. So, unless you're able to bag a few bucks during deer season, you're pretty well guaranteed to cheat. I guess you could be a proficient berry gatherer. She did say that was allowed. Near the end of the conversation, I made mention that cavemen were more worried about survival, not fitting into next season's bikini. How could that possibly be a good, healthy eating plan? I guess I'm thinking of this in a way too scientific manner, something our society did away with a few decades ago. I think I'm finally figuring out this diet thing. Here's my plan to creating the next great weight-loss system. First, I'll find a terrible ingredient that has caused Americans to become obese. I'll make a big production of how processed and unhealthy it is. I'll go with High Fructose Corn Syrup. Next, I need to pick some sort of "super food" that has a nice throwback feel to it. How about lima beans? Finally, I need to find a big celebrity to promote. Maybe I should go with a vegetarian so we can toss in some anti-meat garbage just to amp it up for the news stations. How about Brad Pitt? Presto! You've got the next big thing, the Lima Bean Brad diet. Sounds like a super secret weight loss solution. Or, maybe you've got another fad, just like that darn agriculture. Registered users may comment on this blog.

How Davos can become less self-absorbed and more usefulJanuary 23, 2013: 9:00 AM ET
If only more Davos delegates were interested in others, they would care to learn best practices, share notes, and collaborate with each other.
By Vineet Nayar
FORTUNE -- A day before I left for Davos to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF), a TV crew interviewed me for a curtain raiser on the event. "What's your wish for WEF Davos this year?" the journalist asked me in our warm-up conversation. "I wish it's a bit more boring this year," I said. Well, let's just say she did not cancel the interview but our coffees went cold.
Davos is a crazy place. With more than 200 sessions crammed into five days, over 2,000 delegates traversing the streets, plenty of workshops, meetings in every possible nook and corner of the town, there are too many things to do, too many distractions.
I told this to a friend and he said, "Well, that's the plan." The global leaders and platforms like G20, Global Climate Change Conference, and the ASEAN conference are doing everything to take your attention away from the real issues. At Davos too, they make it too hectic, too fast, so loud, and so shiny that no one can pause to question or reflect.
MORE: Bringing GM back from the brink
Does that explain why so little gets achieved at Davos every year, despite the fact that all the leaders who control the steering wheels to address the world's major problems are there?
All the policy makers, rainmakers, and moneymakers: they're all there. But then again, they're too busy with the microphone, and let's not forget that the jet's already waiting for them in an overbooked bay.
Has the time come to switch off the engines, I wonder? WEF's been fancy and exciting and fast for too long. It's time to make it boring and slow.
What better place to slow things down than with Davos delegates like me who need to stop being enchanted with ourselves? One of the biggest problems of WEF, I believe, is that too many people come to Davos to talk and not to listen. If only more leaders came to just listen, reflect, and learn, the forum would then become a more meaningful event.
Today, unfortunately, the WEF is a "Facebook town" instead. People only go to Davos to tell the world how great they are and get instant gratification by getting millions of "likes." The alpine town has become the most powerful embodiment of Facebook's "look at me!" syndrome. If only more Davos delegates were interested in others, they would care to learn best practices, share notes, and collaborate to find solutions to some truly pressing global problems.
Adding to the trouble is the over-abundance of the WEF agenda. The event's 80-page program is too much by any standard. The world's problems and dilemmas are definitely not that diverse. To test the hypothesis, I asked my social media universe to nominate the issues they want the WEF leaders to focus on this year. Comment after comment cited the same, simple things: employment, sustainability, corruption, terrorism, education, and safety for the common man.
The message was loud and clear. We don't need 200 lengthy sessions, just a few straight-talking, action-oriented debates on relevant issues. Let's focus on five issues, five things to change, five actions to take, and let's ponder over them longer. As the famous American physician Jonas Salk said, if you give enough time and effort to conversations, "intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next."
MORE: Boeing's Dreamliner mess: Simply inevitable?
Lastly, we need consistency. The agenda at WEF changes every year while the basic global problems we face are still largely the same. Let's keep the topics steady year-after year until we make serious progress on any one of these issues. The relevance of a forum like WEF should not come from the newness of its agenda titles or speakers; it's about the solutions.
So let's keep it stable, let's keep it slow, and let's keep it boring. As columnist Joel Stein wrote in Harvard Business Review last year, "boringness is the new secret to great leadership," and it's definitely "a lot more effective than screaming."

The aluminum flagship.
By Automobile Magazine
As with the A6 and the A7, the arrival of an S version of the A8 makes the headlines here. But there is other powertrain news as well, with the addition of a supercharged V-6 that brings down the point of entry for the A8 and the replacement of the 4.2-liter V-8 with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter unit...more
Since its debut in 1997, every A8 has been a study in proportions, and the current one is no different. Its interior is similarly elegant and modern. Like its predecessors, the newest A8 sedan features aluminum construction, and as a result, it's among the lightest offerings in its class. Less flab aids the car's athleticism and fuel economy. Speaking of the latter, there's a new, supercharged V-6 powering the base version, and it lowers the cost of entry for the A8 by some $7000. The 3.0T, as it's known, is available in standard- and long-wheelbase forms. Next up is a new V-8, which, at 4.0 liters, is slightly smaller than before but more than makes up for it with two turbochargers. It, too, is available in both body sizes. More-sporting drivers will want to know about the new S8. It uses the same 4.0-liter turbo V-8 but is tuned up to 520 hp—enough to zip this sport sedan writ large from 0 to 60 mph in fewer than four seconds. Then there's the W12 and its stonking 6.3-liter twelve-cylinder engine and six-figure price. The W12 is available only with the long wheelbase. All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup. So is a polished eight-speed automatic with a boat-themed shifter that is, unfortunately, cumbersome to use. But that's about the only cumbersome aspect of Audi's high-tech flagship.
Front, front and rear side, and side curtain air bags; traction and stability control; and ABS are standard. Blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, a corner-view camera, adaptive headlights, and Audi Pre Sense Plus are available.

CineSkates turn GorillaPod into camera dolly
CineSkates are soft urethane wheels for the GorillaPod Focus tripod, that allow users to do smooth tracking shots
Article Summary
If you're a videographer, and want to elevate your work from just looking competent to looking slick, one of the best things you can do is put your camera on a dolly. No, I'm not talking about a Ken or Barbie, but a wheeled camera mount that allows you to do smooth, fluid tracking shots. While the Spielbergs of the world use actual purpose-built camera dollies, lower-budget film-makers often make do with wheelchairs, skateboards, or wheeled spreaders that mount on the bottom of industrial-sized tripods. Given the popularity of JOBY's compact and flexible GorillaPod tripods, however, it perhaps shouldn't be surprising that someone has developed a wheel system for them – it's called CineSkates.

Dear GOP Trust Supporter:
In less than one week the radical Left and liberal media will attempt to rewrite history and deliver a major victory to the Anti-American progressives. Next Monday, MSNBC will lead their charge by airing an outrageous documentary built upon LIES to recreate and resurrect Bill Clinton, the most corrupt and dangerous president of our lifetime.
We have a plan but need your help to interrupt this narrative!
The only way we America-loving conservatives can save our country and win the critical battles is to directly counter the liberal media. We cannot sit idly by and allow the media to rewrite history. If we don't respond the anti-American agenda will win!
We have prepared a highly provocative ad that directly points to Bill Clinton's eight years of treason and treachery for selling America's highly classified technology to Communist China. We need to remind America about the true Clinton legacy and prevent the media from reinventing history and resurrecting this shameful politician.
MSNBC host, Chris Matthews is promoting this broadcast by declaring "We've never had a world leader (Clinton) like this before… When you see it all put together, you'll believe what a phenomenon, what a story that's here that hasn't been covered in its real dimension, power and positive force."
Don't let the media rewrite history!
We cannot allow the media to re-create and present Bill Clinton as the "Great Leader" or we will pay a high price for it!
The "new" Bill Clinton will be used to prop up the Left-wing extremist Democrats and to get Obama reelected in 2012. MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS THEIR PLAN!! THIS IS WHAT PROPOGANDA LOOOKS LIKE!!!
This cannot go unchecked. We must respond!
We need your help to set the record straight and to remind America about the true legacy of Bill Clinton. Our ads expose Clinton as one who sold our technologies to Communist China, putting all American families and our men and women in uniform at risk:
Bill Clinton created a more dangerous world because he and the liberal Democrats don't believe America has the moral authority to be the world's lone superpower!
The United States of America is the greatest invention in the history of the world and she deserves to be defended at every turn. If you believe in American exceptionalism please join with me to help set the record straight.
Do not let the media and the Left get away with this!
We must hit the airwaves and tell America the truth.
We will not let them redefine a man or history.
Our plan will drive the Democrats and the media nuts. Together we will derail their attempt to re-write history and push their radical agenda. We will prevent the media from manufacturing and broadcasting unchecked lies and resurrecting this shameful politician.
Please forward this important letter to friends and family. The more soldiers we have promoting our efforts the more airtime we can buy.
We will not allow the media's revisionist efforts sweep Clinton's flagrant betrayal of America under the rug. Together we will expose this propaganda and derail their agenda before it's too late.
Thank you for all you do for our great country and for the conservative cause. We will fight together and retake our country one battle at a time.
Please GO HERE NOW to support this fight!
Yours for America,
Scott Wheeler
Executive Director
