Welsh Paralympian Rachel Morris was awarded bronze in the women's H1-3 road race at Brands Hatch today after crossing the line holding hands with team-mate Karen Darke in an apparent bid to share the medal.
Morris and Darke finished one minute 34 seconds behind Marianna Davis of the United States, who added road race gold to her time-trial victory on Wednesday, and despite their best efforts to finish together and share bronze, Morris placed third in a photo finish.
Morris, 33, whose family are from Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, was the first British handcyclist to be crowned double world champion.
Monica Bascio, another American, was second, 33 seconds behind, before the British duo rode towards the final place on the podium at the end of the 48-kilometre race.
"We wanted it together, we crossed the line with our hands together," Darke, who won time-trial silver on Wednesday, told Channel Four.
Morris said: "We worked so hard together today."
The 33-year-old from Guildford won time-trial gold in Beijing, but was injured and had her bike written off in an accident with a car in July which left her place in London in doubt. She was fifth in the time-trial on Wednesday.
Morris added: "I've not had the best lead-in to this Games. This bronze medal means more than gold. It just means everything."
It was the British cycling team's 21st medal of the Games, taking the team past the 20 they won in 2008.

NEW YORK (Jun. 27)
A new clash over Jewish religious law loomed today over the action of a leading Conservative congregation in deciding to grant to women congregants the privilege of being "called up" to witness the reading of the Torah scroll on Sabbath mornings and to recite the traditional blessings.
The decision of the Park Avenue Synagogue to establish the grant of aliyah to women congregants was believed to be the first by a Conservative congregation. There have been some isolated instances of women being given the honor but not on a formal and consistent basis.
In Orthodox Judaism, aliyct have never been accorded to women. Reform Jews rarely practice this custom for either men or women.
Joseph H. Katz, chairman of the synagogue board of trustees, said the step was "another expression of our congregation to make Judaism traditional, yet growing with modernity. " He added that "the mere fact that some ritual in Jewish religious life has thus far been reserved for men or for women does not imply that it is equal and fair to deny aliyot to women in our synagogue where men and women worship together and where women serve on our board of trustees."
Rabbi Judah Nadich, spiritual leader of the congregation, said the action demonstrated "the adaptability and viability of Jewish religious practice. " He asserted that the practice was not a contravention of Jewish religious law, declaring there was evidence that calling women to the Torah was practiced several hundred years ago.

Colorado native Ricky Shine, known as The Digital Connection, is stoked to release his first full length album, A Universal Outcome, for free today! Ricky has expressed that he enjoys all types of music across the board; the 13 track album reflects this in an appealing fusion of wubby basslines, harmonic arrangements, synthy ups & downs, and rhythmic sequences. The album has several flavors and while listening to it all the way through I found that my mood changed along with the flow of the album (and within each track, actually). One minute I was kicking back in a state of complete relaxation, and the next I'd be uncontrollably bobbing my head. I love the banger "Beasts" and can envision listeners really getting down to it on a dance floor. I also really enjoy the upbeat vitality in "Rest Assured". Being a midtempo, emotive music lover, "The Purpose of Life" is probably my favorite on the release – he managed to make it both buttery and deep at once.
One thing that I have gotten to know and admire about Ricky is his genuine enthusiasm surrounding the bass music scene and appreciation for those who put the time and effort into producing quality music. In listening to A Universal Outcome you can tell that he devotes a lot of effort into his music and isn't just releasing something for the hell of it. His mind state is without a doubt consistent with the premises of Afro Monk – that those who experiment with fresh sounds and strive for brilliant music, rather than sticking with the status quo of dub / brostep, deserve recognition and respect. I think that Ricky would rather have a steady and devoted fan-base that appreciates his unique music than discontentedly make what the masses are ignorantly listening to. Ricky is very down with the camaraderie in the music scene; he's been with Got Bass Music from the get-go and also makes up part of The Mile High Sound Movement collective which is on the forefront of the Colorado bass scene (and the national bass scene, for that matter). He also regularly plays his tunes and chats with listeners, other producers, and DJs in the Afro Monk turntable.fm room 🙂
As far as live performances go, I'd love to see a live Digital Connection set. I have seen a few videos of his shows and he definitely knows how to get a crowd moving; this guy emanates some serious energy. Ricky is all about playing unstructured live sets rather than having a set queued playlist. He articulated that "it's as important to vibe off the crowd as it is to send vibrations out. It feels wrong to me to make sets – it feels a lot more natural to go with the flow and play to the crowd". I can appreciate this as I have been to shows where although the music is good, the crowd isn't really feeling the atmosphere (too mellow for the setting, too many bangers in a row, etc.). I don't think that would be an issue at a Digital Connection show – the guy is a master at sensing an audience's vibes and mixing his set up accordingly.
Show support for The Digital Connection by downloading A Universal Outcome. Be sure to check out his 3 other releases on Bandcamp as well, and keep an eye out for his debut EP on Gravitas Recordings in 2012.

18 Feb 4 Highly Engaged Brands on Facebook
It's no secret that an increasing number of companies are jumping on the social media bandwagon. Brands ranging from New York Times to American Eagle have Facebook fan pages. A recent study released by independent interactive agency Rosetta revealed that 59 of the top 100 leading US retailers have a presence on Facebook. Despite the economy being in a state where even fashion icons are embracing mass consumers' needs, major brands are no doubt continuing to explore the opportunities available via social media.
Much has been discussed in the blogosphere about Facebook fan pages, especially now that detailed fan page statistics are available on AllFacebook (The Unofficial Facebook Resource). Though these stats are both useful and interesting to examine, they don't go beyond the numbers. What interests me even more is to explore some of these big brands on Facebook and figure out just how engaging they are. I hand picked 4 branded fan pages I felt demonstrated a high level of engagement with fans, and this is what I found:
Though I've never been one to drink Mountain Dew (my mother is a dentist), I've always been entertained by their overall brand image. Their over-the-top approach to advertising and marketing is effective, and they've brought that same feel to their Facebook fan page. The page is full of fun videos, photos, and links for interacting with the Dew brand. More than just serving as a hub for Dew media, the page's mission explicitly calls on fans to get in on the action:
And listen, they do. The wall isn't just a place for fans to leave random comments; it's a place where fans can go to get real, human answers from "Dew Insider Angie.â€
Fans can easily access free podcasts and download free music from its Green Label Sound artists, deemed the "newest buzz-worthy musicians who represent the true spirit of Dew.†Though the fan page has a "meager†following (20,749 fans), the page is extremely engaging – both aesthetically and conversationally.
Some of you might sense a slight similarity between the aforementioned Mountain Dew and the present brand, Red Bull. It's possible that your senses are accurate. Both Mountain Dew and Red Bull serve as the power supply of the "young and the restless.†Add incredibly entertaining and interactive Facebook fan page to the list of comparisons one could draw. What I wouldn't give to be back in college, sitting in the library with friends at 3 a.m. drinking a Red Bull while listening to drunkish ramblings about pots of monkeys, er, I mean studying.
The page doesn't even waste precious space with lengthy and often boring details of the company's mission and foundations, leaving a brief company description at the very bottom of the page. Fans can then focus on watching rad videos, playing ridiculously addicting games like Red Bull Soapbox Race, and listen to more drunkish ramblings. It's fun, it's engaging, it's what a fan page should be – tailored to the target audience's wants and needs. (Did I mention the page has about 825K fans?)
Digressing a bit from the no-holds-barred approach witnessed on the Mountain Dew and Red Bull pages, Southwest Airlines has taken a simpler approach – one of utility. As the two previous garner success from exciting antics, Southwest Airlines is equally successful at understanding its customer base. The page is home to more than 62,000 fans who share a common desire for friendly, affordable and comfortable airfare. One thing it shares with Red Bull's page is that it leaves the company description at the bottom of the page, bringing the conversation to the forefront. These conversations aren't just between consumers. Southwest is sparking the conversation and sincerely seeking input from fans:
It's fairly clear that Southwest is using Facebook for the right reasons. It provides useful services like an Interactive Route Map, but it also does more. It provides customers with a sense of community where they can both interact with other customers and also interact with people at the company. Chances are, if you have a question, suggestion, or concern, Southwest will respond, breaking down the communicative boundaries between consumer and brand.
First of all, when it comes to social media, Dunkin' Donuts seems like one of those companies that just gets it. They've launched a YouTube channel, developed quite a following on Twitter, and wrangled up 414,711 Facebook fans. One thing I enjoy most about their presence within these networks is their consistency. They've earned consumer trust through their Twittering and Facebooking personality Dunkin' Dave, with the occasional post by Java Josh. Despite the cheeky names, Dunkin' Dave and Java Josh have done a great job of serving as a tangible connection between Dunkin' fanatics and the company.
The Facebook page is both lightheartedly entertaining and resourceful. Serving as a centralized resource of information, fans can locate the nearest Dunkin' Donuts, sign up for Dunkin' Perks (newsletter with special discounts and information), follow them on Twitter, and get insider info on the latest food and drink launches and promotions like the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich.
Like Southwest Airlines, Dunkin' Dave is active within discussions on the page and responding to people who post on the wall. In one discussion about Dunkin' Donuts' healthier fare, the Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Development for Dunkin' Donuts joined in to respond to and answer questions about some of the items on the menu. This type of interaction further demonstrates to consumers that their voices are being heard and accounted for.
As more brands attempt to join the discussion, it'll become increasingly important to pay attention to brands like these who have acknowledged their customer base and reacted to it appropriately. Don't just slap up a few videos and images and call it a day. In order to effectively utilize social media as a means for building or furthering your brand, you have to be a part of the conversation. Your fans have a lot to say, so it's important that you listen and respond.
I'm excited to see what brands will do once the new Facebook page redesign takes place, allowing fan pages the same tabbed functionality of individual profiles. What other brands have you seen engaging successfully through social media? How do you think the new redesign will impact brands' pages? I'd love to know what you think, so leave your own ideas in the comments.

Ring in the New year with a Blushin' Russian Soda – a sweet, refreshing cranberry and ginger infused libation that everyone can enjoy!
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

- 1½ oz Spiced Simple Syrup
- 1½ oz half-and-half***
- 1½ oz vodka [optional]
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour cranberry ginger ale and simple syrup into glass. If you are using vodka, add it also. Stir gently, and then pour in half-and-half.
- Garnish with mint leaves and sugared cranberries.
*** You can use heavy cream, but I prefer to use half-and-half for a lighter drink.
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3-4 slices fresh ginger
- 4-5 cinnamon sticks
- 3 whole star anise
- 15 whole allspice
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, sliced ginger, star anise, and heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Right Is wrong
Much has already been written about the horrifying scenes of violence, extremism and chilul Hashem (desecration of God's name) taking place in Israel these past weeks — indeed these past years; but something more needs to be said.
The images and reality of grown men, extremists, wrapped in tallit and kippah, black hats and beards; shouting, hitting, spitting at, chasing school girls because they wear skirts that do not cover their ankles, shirtsleeves that do not cover their wrists, because they dare to walk with their mothers on the same sidewalk as men, sicken me and tarnish Judaism for all of us.
These "religious men," a small but not insignificant percentage of the ultra-Orthodox (or Charedi) community, are physically forcing women to the back of Israeli buses, engaging in vandalism against Israeli army bases, calling female soldiers "prostitutes," all in the name of "true" Judaism. I want to make it clear that not all ultra-Orthodox Jews behave like this or believe like this, but a vocal and powerful minority certainly does. This vocal minority and their rabbis believe their religion demands they exclude women from public and religious life, that to even look at a picture of a woman on a billboard, or to hear a woman sing, let alone read Torah or sit beside them in synagogue, is a sin.
I say their religion, and not my religion, because the Judaism they promote is not my Judaism, nor is it any kind of Judaism that most modern Jews would ever associate with. Yet the majority of Jews in America and Israel have remained silent in the face of this fundamentalist wave sweeping through Judaism today.
We are silent because many liberal, progressive Jews are conditioned to think that Charedim are the "real Jews." They look the most religious, the most committed, the most traditional. Our heads fill with visions of Tevye dancing down the streets of his shtetl, and we get a feeling the ultra-Orthodox are guaranteeing the Jewish future.
They are not guaranteeing the Jewish future. They are undermining it. Sure, by having very large families, they are producing more Jews. But the future they would create looks more like Islamist Iran than any future the vast majority of Jews should want for themselves or their children.
It is not enough to say, as most leaders of the Orthodox community have, that these people are radicals, a tiny bunch of fanatics who represent no one. Because they are not a small group, and they have support.
Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics is predicting that the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community will make up nearly one-third of the country's population within 50 years. Other Israeli Jews are expected to become a minority in Israel, squeezed between the growing ultra-Orthodox and Arab populations. Even in America, Charedi Jews represent the fastest-growing sector of the Jewish population.
A serious if gradual integration of Charedim into the Israeli workforce, as well as a firmer separation of synagogue and state, would, as Gershom Gorenberg points out in his book "The Unmaking of Israel," go a long way toward taming the extremist behavior and rhetoric.
But, in the meantime, we must not be silent. Now is the time to speak up, as progressive Jews, as modern Jews, as authentic Jews. Our tradition demands it of us: "When a person has the ability to protest and remains silent, his silence is similar to verbal consent. When you do not say something to disagree, it is as if you agree with what was said or done. Silence is assent!" (S'forno, Nedarim) We must speak out against fundamentalism and extremism everywhere, especially in our own Jewish community.
Moreover, we must go to Beit Shemesh, we must go to Jerusalem, and if we can't go physically, then we must send money ahead to support progressive Jewish institutions in Israel. Institutions like the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) of Reform Judaism and Women of the Wall, the leader of which, Anat Hoffman, is even now visiting American synagogues seeking our support.
We must demand, through the purse strings of the American Jewish community, that our federations and organizations publicly withhold funding from these extremist groups that have turned a beautiful religious tradition into an ugly mob cloaked in religious garb, who spit on women, attack Israeli soldiers and policemen, and would just as soon send most modern Jews to the back of the bus, if not under it.
We must stop thinking of ourselves as inauthentic Jews. Our Judaism is real, it is vibrant, it is authentic, it is inclusive, and it is the future. Tevye was fiction. The real story is why our great-grandparents left the old country and its backward ways. We don't need to apologize for being modern Jews, and we should give no license and no support to extremists of any ilk, Jewish or other, who demand we conform to their fundamentalist worldview.
If your interpretation of Judaism means that you don't want to sit on a bus with a woman, then get off and walk. But if your Judaism teaches just the opposite — and Reform Judaism, progressive Judaism does — then stop apologizing and climb on board this movement. You can sit anywhere you like — you can even drive.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
jljac Posts: 649Must've been a 1967-71 T-Bird if it had the suicide doors The early ones had self-locking doors that would lock when the car moved including when they were towed through a car wash. The car would exit the car wash with the motor running and the keys locked inside. I believe they were modified to lock at a higher speed. Not bad for a four door car, but I don't believe that a Thunderbird should have four doors.
A W123 is like an old truck - workhorse. When they are still doing commercial duty in harsh locations almost 30 years after the end of production, you know something is strong about them.
Not much odd today, but saw a 2CV, Ferrari 412, 80s Sierra wagon, and a MB SLC doing a bit of a power slide in the rain in downtown Cologne.
The W123s have tremendous build quality, but all the accessories or sub-systems on them seem to fail often. This is one reason why the "strippers" are the best---less to go wrong. You simply won't find a W123 for sale in the USA without something wrong with it. But then, hey, these are old cars! Most cars their age are long dead.

Enjoy the trip Fintail !
If anyone out there is within reach of London - Brighton, tomorrow is the annual veteran car run - an early start for me as I'll be on Westminster Bridge to watch them rattling south from about 7:10am..
About 500 cars entered, and great to watch - providing the rain holds off...
That's right, and Wayne mentioned that too on his show. The car he found was an absolute stripper - roll up windows, no passenger mirror, probably didn't have AC. When the fancy stuff fails, it gives people an excuse to neglect the rest of car. No doubt the low models have good survival rates.
Speaking of low models, I have been peeking in E-class taxis. About 80% of them are manual, including 2012 models. Saw another W124 still doing taxi duty today, and a few oft-derided W210s.
London-Brighton is on my bucket list. I'd love to participate in something like a Mercedes Simplex, too - but a little dear for me.
Odd cars today: Nice W123 coupe, very early Espace, 924, 70s Beetle, 90s Explorer,
And something parked on this street is unlike the others:
We will expect your dispatch in due course, with its usual thoroughness of course. Carry on!

texases Posts: 7,736Saw a nice-looking 190SL drive by yesterday - most interesting car I've seen on the road around here for months. Dallas is not a good area for car spotting...
omarman Posts: 842Wow 500 cars entered! I didn't realize that many started. A neighbor who lived across the road from me in the 70s was invited to the 1959 event with his 1899 Locomobile steamer. He and his wife called their car Tillie the teapot. I found a youtube video which shows their car (#34) around 0:12 at the start of the run. You can just barely make out the Ohio historical license plate.
Hope there aren't many DNFs with that many vehicles running this year. I remember that the Weiant's Locomobile did finish back in 1959 but it took a bit over 6 hours. :shades: How many people are expected to turn out to see the event? Should be fun to watch rain or shine. Have a good time.
Why yes, a MAXI Buick.
Big fish in a small pond :shades:
Today saw a Corrado, a 2002 Baur cabrio, a 70s Citroen DS, and have seen several MB C124s thhe past few days.
I saw a car last week I bet you've NEVER seen, at least not in the USA--- a Baur 320i. :shades:
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
Depends on what size. I did have a couple toy E30 Baurs when I was a kid :shades:
This was a Baur 320i with a 325 engine and 5 speed. Nice car!
I find this configuration a bit odd, but that's just me I guess. Maybe I'm just having Triumph Stag horror flashbacks.... :P

So an E23? 80s grey market import?
The partial convertible design is odd. Maybe gives more structural rigidity.
grey market, yes.
sure, if you chop the roof off a car, you are essentially cutting the top off a hollow pyramid.

andys120 Loudon NHPosts: 18,583The partial convertible design is odd. Maybe gives more structural rigidity.
Not to mention better roll-over protection. In the early 70s lots of people thought that more stringent safety regs would doom the traditional ragtop convertible. The '76 Eldorado was assumed to be the last ever made by the Big Three so a lot of basket hoop and T-Top "convertibles" came out.
Thankfully they were merely interim stop gaps
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC
au1994 GAPosts: 1,128I have actually seen one in my office park. I about went through my window trying to see where it turned in so I could chace it down.
2016 X6 35i Space Gray over Ivory w/Black Trim
2017 X1 Jet Black over Mocha
That would be an E21, I think..

andre1969 Posts: 23,040What is that car behind the Park Ave? It might just be the perspective, but it doesn't look much smaller than the Buick!
Every once in awhile I'll see one of those '91-96 Park Aves out and about, and nowadays I think they actually look pretty petite. Length-wise, I don't think it's much different from my 2000 (around 206" long I think), but the '91-96 was much more tapered in the front and back, and no doubt narrower and shorter.
Most cars here in the states have plumped up quite a bit since the mid-90's, so that might be one reason those '91-96 models seem smallish to me. Of course, in Europe, I'm sure they're mastodons compared to just about anything short of a bus!
It's a Skoda Octavia, which is the same platform as a Jetta. Must be perspective. The Buick was in very nice condition, too. There's a cult in Europe who like big American cars.
I also saw a Chrysler Cirrus the other day, original 1995 style, those are thin on the ground even in the US, not to mention here. Small cars here are the majority, and some are very small. A real economy car here is a scooter, which are also everywhere.
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 9,633Re.: '91-96 Park Avenues..I always liked the styling, but I remember looking at them when new and thinking they were smallish. Even when one got instruments inside, the gauges even looked small! Around here, I've seen them where the bright metal trim strip on the rear quarter is rusted completely through!
A Park Avenue with the supercharged 3800 and th optional touring/rallye (or whatever they called it) suspension option would be a nice luxury cruiser. Roomy, comfortable, with decent performance and road manners, plus acceptable fuel economy.
The '97-'05 generation is an improvement over the '91-'96, which borrows heavily from the squared off body '85-'90 platform.
I saw what I believe was a Saab 900 series station wagon today. Said Saab on it, so it wasn't a Volvo. I don't think I've seen that before, even on the east coast.

I visited the MB Museum today, it is an amazing facility and worthy of the time. I last visited 3 years ago, and was still able to spend several hours there seeing it all again. Something obscure and unusual were some W116 based safety cars from about 1973, not in the museum but sitting at the adjacent dealer. These cars were test units for the original MB airbag and ABS units. And endless dozens of other priceless amazing cars to be seen, too.
And a snapshot from the competition cars area, with a nice fintail rally car in the foreground.

Much before the release of 'Pasia' starring Nani, Catherine Tresa in the direction of Krishna Vamsi, it looks like Bollywood is showing immense interest in bagging the remake rights. A well known truth is that, hard hitting concept and message oriented flicks of Krishna Vamsi flavor are not suited to Bollywood audience yet KV promised Sreedevi and Boney Kapoor to wait and see for the release of 'paisa.'
Boney and Sreedevi keep a constant eye on top Telugu films and scripts. As they were impressed by the story of 'paisa,' they approached KV. In crisp, story deals with an unemployed youngster running into troubles unknowingly carrying the huge bounty of a young politician where in that money is meant to be used for coming elections. On the other side, Shahid Kapoor has also sent his friend cum director Rafi to speak with KV about 'paisa.'

The First Step to Transformation In 1999, I was scheduled to speak at a large industry meeting in Orlando. There was nothing unusual about this; I had been to this convention so many times that it had become second nature to me. As CEO of an event company for nearly 15 years, this was my world. I lived and breathed special events, working with clients to put on the most cutting-edge parties we could imagine. I had won international awards, been featured in national publications and developed a stellar reputation in my hometown. People around me thought I was swimming along in a sea of success. In truth, I was gasping for air.
I faced business decisions I wasn't equipped to handle, cash flow I couldn't seem to control, employees I poorly managed and administrative challenges that confounded me. Some days, getting out of bed took greater effort than I was willing to put out. I felt trapped, staring at the ceiling at 3 A.M. wondering "Is this all there is?"
At the depth of my despair, I received a brochure inviting me on a silent, sacred walk across the Sahara Desert. At the time, my idea of vacation was a week at the beach and a spiritual adventure was church on Christmas Eve. Yet something pulled me toward this improbable trip. For two weeks, I would step out of my predictable, normal existence and walk into a strange and foreign world, one where Berbers lived a nomadic existence as they had for thousands of years. And while this would be only a brief departure from the "real world," I figured it would give me the kick-in-the-butt I needed to fix my life.
While our small group trekked through the desert, we quickly fell into the natural rhythm of life. We slept until sun up, ate only until full, walked trustingly wherever we were led. I savored the feeling of sand slipping seductively between my fingers and the sound of a camel's wearied moan as he prepared for the day. The sweet pasty taste of a date, the shine of the full moon, the grit in my blister, the uneven feel of rocks beneath my feet--all these felt like tiny miracles.
These small bits of enlightenment were illuminating, but to be honest, I was hoping for a big bang. I looked every day for a spiritual revelation, like in the Monty Python movies when the cartoon God parts the clouds and the celestial doves fly to earth holding a proclamation in their holy little beaks.
The trumpets didn't blare in the desert, however. The epiphany happened when I traveled straight from Marrakesh to the Orlando Convention Center where we would celebrate the event industry's top-achievers. My two weeks of silent contemplation had moved me, but I looked forward to returning to the real world after my break from reality.
I stepped onto the exhibit floor, while lasers projected overhead, music blared, confetti fluttered and a giant-headed Elvis strutted by. I became unsteady on my feet. My heart pounded, sounds began to echo and all of a sudden, I knew. The sand dunes and camels were real. This was an alternate universe.
Suddenly, I felt like an alien in a foreign land, peeking out of my tent flap at an exotic landscape filled with false assumptions and distorted values. My quest to be the best had forced me to deny my most basic need: to create a life of meaning and inner fulfillment, outside of society's measures of success.
The event world is no more rooted in illusion than banking, law or politics. While each industry has its own sub-genre of a skewed reality, the professional world suffers from the same illusion: in order to succeed, we need to check ourselves at the door every morning. We must separate success from self.
My awakening on the exhibit floor set me on a course to find a middle way--to create a life with one foot firmly planted in business and the other in spirit. Rather than turn my back on my business, I redesigned it to fill my personal goals. Our mission, "To inspire others and affect positive change" informed most every business and personal decision during my final ten years as an entrepreneur. When I sold my company in 2010, it became my personal vision as I began to explore life after Tribble Creative Group.
We all live in our own version of an alternate universe. Left unchecked, it distracts us from purpose and drains us of spirit. In this monthly blog, I will share ways to inspire you to bring your whole self to your work and create the life you want.
Is there a way to be accomplished in business and keep your spirit fulfilled? Can you be successful and stay true to yourself? The answer is yes. Yes, you can.


text: Hi, I am working on a *very* simple Python interface to ScaLAPACK using the NumPy C-API. I am not using f2py at all. Simple question: How can I copy a C-order NumPy array into a Fortran-order NumPy array within the C-API? (This is trivial in Python, it is simply A = A.copy("Fortran")) I would like to do this with the minimal amount of memory use. The matrices are 2-d and rectangular, but not square. It looks like I use PyArray_CopyInto or PyArray_MoveInto, but I would need to create another array using PyArray_EMPTY(2, dims, NPY_DOUBLE, NPY_F_CONTIGUOUS) Thanks in advance for your assistance. -- Nichols A.

About Us
New assets for Dream Trigger 3D
posted: 5/4/2011 5:06:00 PM
More On:
Dream Trigger 3D
Dream Trigger 3D
for the 3DS releases next week on May 10th, D3Publisher has a few assets to share with us. Amongst these are the trailer and screenshots posted below. The screenshots are of the five bosses that you will encounter in the game - Rage, Jealousy, Sorrow, Desire, and Fear - all meant to represent the dark aspects of our character.
Look below for said assets, and read on to hear some of the strategies you'll need to tackle these fiends straight from Senior Producer Brian Etheridge.
The theme of Dream Trigger 3D is a constant battle against your nightmares. To represent this, we wanted to create boss enemies (5 in total) that represent the darkest parts of your mind; Rage, Jealousy, Sorrow, Desire, and Fear.
These bosses occupy the farthest reaches of our World Map Mode. The player must defeat individual levels, each with their own mini-boss to get a chance to face off against these monsters.
Battle against a boss enemy is different from regular gameplay in that you are solely focused on one enemy. You must pelt the boss with Sonar Pings to get it to reveal its weak spot and then hammer it with fire to try to squeeze some damage in before its next barrage. These guys are not easy. Once you've encountered a boss, be prepared to play the level a few times to get the hang of the boss's patterns, their attacks, and when the best time to dish out the damage is.
Bosses have attacks that deal hefty damage and are tough to dodge. To stay alive, keep moving, watch for the pattern of their attack, and make sure you keep pinging to keep your energy gauge filled. Be prepared for a slug fest.
We hope you enjoy fighting these guys as much as we enjoyed making them!

It wasn't snowing in downtown Woodland, but there was plenty of sunshine as the 49th Annual Holiday Parade brought loads of merriment.
The theme for the annual parade was "Dashing Through the Snow" and many of the 440 entries featured popular characters and music centered around Christmas.
The parade is sponsored by the Woodland Chamber of Commerce with the assistance of many local businesses and community groups.
Parade Chairman Fred Bailard, who has been organizing the event since 1973, was elated with by the weather as well as the attendance. With high temperatures in the 50s and plenty of sunshine, Bailard said the festivities couldn't have been any better.
Attendance has usually averaged between 20,000 and 25,000 in prior years. This year, while no officials estimates were offered, it seemed as though there were fewer people lining Woodland's Main Street.
The parade started at 10 a.m. with floats, bands and other entrants traveling from west to east, between Cottonwood and Fourth streets, with assembly occurring at the former Woodhaven Lanes bowling alley parking lot.
Judging of parade entries takes place at Heritage Plaza in downtown Woodland, at the intersection of Second and Main streets.
With more than 400 entries, there's a lot to keep track of, but Bailard said the chamber has plenty of experience, meaning problems were few.
Bailard's primary problem - other than making sure people were in the spots they were supposed to be - was a last-minute short a shortage of judges which occurred when UC Davis Army ROTC squad from didn't materialize. Bailard said he "commandeered" two Army Reservists for the job.
Police and law enforcement personnel also apparently had few issues, other than traffic control. The most serious event reported was a group of horse riders who were supposedly "sharing a bottle." One rider, according to a parade-goer, fell off his mount but was uninjured.
Unashamed Woodland promoter Edith Klenhard, whose late husband was longtime Chamber of Commerce executive director Dick Klenhard, was on hand to watch the festivities - as she has been for decades.
At age 90, Edith said her husband didn't originate the parade but rather gave it the necessary "zing" to make it a part of the city's history.
While she's seen nearly every parade, the one which still stands out in her memory was one in the early 1990s when the weather was wet and windy.
"There was a woman with a set of white dogs," Klenhard remembered. "She was really worried about those dogs. She was so concerned, she wanted to bathe them before sending off in the parade."
Parade attendees heard plenty of music from groups as diverse as the Ben Ali Shrine Club, Folklorico de Woodland, and the Woodland High School and UC Davis marching bands.
One of the more unusual entries this year was the National Civil War Association, which had about 35 costumed members marching in "Yankee" uniforms. The group stopped just long enough at the judge's reviewing stand to let off a loud volley from their rifles, startling young children and pets. As has become custom as well, the Ben Ali Shrine Club also turned in a good appearance with clowns driving funny cars and uniformed "kops" chasing criminals.
"Our parade has a proud heritage," said Chamber CEO Kristy Wright prior to the start of the parade. "For 49 years it has been showcasing entries through a quality venue with a strong focus on excellence in parading. It really is a 'miracle on Main Street.'"
Woodland's parade is thought to be one of the largest in the state and has a great representation of novelty entries, corporate floats, bands, horse entries, scout units, military and ROTC units, dance and majorette groups.
New this year were the addition of food trucks. Other popular business entries were provided by Dutch Bros. Coffee as well as Brooks Painting. Additionally, numerous 4-H and FFA clubs were represented along with members of the local Marine Corps League, Woodland Fire Volunteer support Branch, a number of churches and Folklorico dancers.
The parade culminated with the arrival of Santa Claus riding on a 1923 American LaFrance Fire Truck provided by the Woodland Fire Volunteer Support Branch.
What's next for 2014 is still being determined. Bailard may work with Disney to showcase its iconic characters, as well as perhaps a fly over from an Air Force jet.
It may also be Bailard's final year. Having chaired the event for 40 years, he thinks the parade's 50th anniversary might be his last.

Friday, Feb. 13, 2009 | 2 a.m.
NV Energy is abandoning its coal-fired power plant in Ely — at least for now, the company announced Feb. 9.
The state's main electric utility had planned to have the plant complete by 2016. It was a prominent part of the company's three-tiered strategy to make the state energy independent.
But environmental, legal and political roadblocks have made developing a coal plant unattractive.
NV Energy says it will only pursue its proposed coal plant once carbon capture technology, which would decrease air pollution from such plants, is developed.
That could take at least a decade.
The company has long discussed the possibility of canceling the coal project if it looked like Congress was going to pass anti-global warming legislation that would tax a coal plant's carbon emissions.
It is widely recognized by the global scientific community that carbon emissions are the major contributing factor to global warming as well as myriad other environmental problems such as acidification of the ocean.
Coal plants also emit other air pollutants that can cause health problems.
Both presidential candidates supported carbon-cap legislation, and President Barack Obama has made cleaning the nation's energy supply a major theme in his first month in office.
Public support for coal-fired power plants has waned in the past three years as less polluting alternatives have come down in cost.
The federal government would like to see massive growth in electricity produced from renewable energy.
Democrats are expected to introduce legislation this year that would set goals to increase renewable energy production in the U.S. by as much as 25 percent.
Many states, including Nevada, already have such renewable energy standards in place.
Dozens of proposed coal-fired power plants across the country have been canceled in the past few years. NV Energy was one of the last coal-plant holdouts in the western United States.
The remaining potential coal-plant developers have faced serious legal and political setbacks causing some energy developers to pull out of fossil fuel power plant production altogether.
LS Power's White Pine Energy Center, another of the proposed coal-fired power plants in Ely, recently hit a roadblock when a consortium of health, conservation and environmental groups appealed a BLM decision to approve a site for a 1,600-megawatt coal plant.
And LS Power's partner in the project, Dynegy, pulled out of all coal-plant projects including the White Pine Energy Center in January, causing it further difficulties.

Mildew is a common problem in many homes and can sneak into just about anything. Live mold spores settle into fabrics and multiply in warm, moist environments on fabrics and become mildew. As mildew spreads it becomes toxic and can ruin carpets, walls and any porous surface. Bleach is very effective for killing mold but is much too harsh to be used on carpets since it will "bleach" out the colors.
Mildew-Growing Environment
The most important factor in preventing mildew from growing is to keep the environment well ventilated and as dry as possible. If mildew is a problem in an area, you may need to install a fan or a ceiling fan to keep air moving in the room. Be sure that there is plenty of ventilation around and under pieces of furniture. Once mildew has formed in a room, it can be hard to kill.
Homemade Carpet Cleaner for Mildew Stains
Sprinkle baking soda over entire carpet. Add 1 cup distilled white vinegar to a bucket filled halfway with warm water. Dip a clean sponge mop into the bucket and squeeze out most of the solution. If desired, a hand sponge can be used, but a sponge mop works well and requires less bending and kneeling. Rub the vinegar mixture into the carpet, working on small sections a time and concentrating more on areas that are visibly spotted with mildew. When the vinegar mixes with the baking soda, it will begin to bubble. This chemical reaction is not harmful and is what helps to remove the mold and mildew spores. Allow the carpet to dry and the mixture to form a hard powdery substance. Vacuum thoroughly; wait about an hour and vacuum again to be sure it has been completely removed.
Carpet Cleaner for Tough Mildew Stains
For hard-to-remove stains, mix 1/4 cup each of salt, borax and white vinegar. Rub the paste into the mildew stains and leave for several hours. This will dry to a thick powder. Vacuum when it has dried thoroughly. Important: Test this on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet first to test colorfastness.
General Mildew Carpet Cleaning Solution
To keep carpets free of mildew or to remove a mildew smell from the carpets, mix equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water. Put into a spray bottle. Spray on, let sit a few minutes and scrub with a brush or rag. Blot until completely dry. This works well or areas that are not exposed to humidity for prolonged periods of time.
Keeping Carpets Free of Mildew in Humid Weather
To freshen carpets in between cleanings and to keep carpets from forming mildew in humid environments, lightly sprinkle baking soda over entire surface of the carpets once a week. Do this after a thorough vacuuming. Allow the baking soda to be walked into carpet. This will absorb moisture that is in the air that may settle on the carpets and will be vacuumed up during the next vacuuming.

New Orleans Saints Coach Joe Vitt, New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick and a bevy of other coaches will attend the funeral Tuesday for Garrett Reid in Philadelphia prior to the teams' joint practice, Vitt announced Monday.
Reid, the son of Eagles Coach Andy Reid, was found dead at 29 in his dorm room at the Eagles' training camp at Lehigh University. Garrett Reid had a troubled past with drug use and prison sentences, but no foul play is suspected in his death, the cause of which has not been identified.
Vitt said Saints owner Tom Benson offered the use of his plane for Saints coaches to attend the funeral Tuesday morning, prior to the scheduled 1:30 p.m. start of the first of two joint practices with the Saints and Patriots. Vitt said Belichick was invited to join the contingent, "and jumped at the opportunity." Also traveling to Philadelphia will be Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo - a former member of Reid's Eagles staff - and Saints secondary coach Ken Flajole.
Vitt fought back tears Monday when asked about the untimely demise of the son of a member of the NFL coaching fraternity. He spoke about how the demands of the game can make for a peripatetic lifestyle and the frequent absence of a father, and how much worry goes into parenting as a result.
"You're raising your children and you're moving from town to town, taking your children out of one school and putting them into another," Vitt said. "You're hoping you make the right decisions in the next community you move into. You agonize over those decisions as a parent. Our thoughts go out to Andy and the team and the whole family and we just want to be there tomorrow in any way we can."

Behind every great band or artist is a person or team of people who, one way or another, help guide them to the greatness they inevitably achieved. Even The Beatles can't escape this distinction: Brian Epstein, their first manager, played a pivotal role in their rise to international superstardom in the 1960s.
Epstein, whose death occurred on August 27, 1967 due to a tragic drug overdose, helped define the Beatles as the world would come to know them and helped transform John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr from a scruffy band of misfits into the squeaky-clean studs that set the pop music landscape on fire.
It was Epstein who saw something in the band as they performed in small clubs, and made just the right amount of changes to the right aspects of the band's aesthetic to launch their careers as legit stars. The band didn't always agree with him, but they still owe a big debt to his work as manager.
Epstein wasn't perfect – he did once try to manipulate the band into signing a low-paying, fixed-rate contract and thus keeping most of their future fortune for himself – but there's no denying how big of a role he played in making the Fab Four into the group that would eventually become the most beloved band of all time. Here are three big reasons…
1. He believed in them when few others did
The Beatles show their Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) medals at a news conference in London, England, on Oct. 26, 1965. The Beatles, from left, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon, were awarded the MBE by the Queen of England at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Manager Brian Epstein is standing in background at left. The man at right is not identified. (AP Photo)
When Epstein first went to see the Beatles perform at Liverpool's famed Cavern Club, he was drawn in right away. Even though the band originally featured an aggressive "bad boy" image, Epstein felt enamored by their mere stage presence.
The book Beatles Forever says that Epstein was "instantly mesmerized by the raw, magnetic energy of the scruffy quartet." Despite being a raw, imperfect act at the time, the Beatles showed plenty to Epstein, who met the band after the first show and went back many more times.
According to 2005's Beatles Biography, when his assistant Alistair Taylor once said after a show that the band was "awful", Epstein responded that they were "tremendous". If not for Epstein's enthusiasm for the band, the Beatles may have never gotten the break they clearly deserved.
2. He cleaned up their image
Paul McCartney gives the thumbs-up to the screaming fans at London Airport, in England, on Sept. 21, 1964. The Beatles were returning from New York after their successful tour of the United States. Crowds of teenage girl swarmed over the airport terminal buildings singing we love the Beatles as they waited their idols return. Left to right, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, behind partially obscured, and John Lennon. Behind Ringo is the group's manager Brian Epstein. (AP Photo)
When you think of the Beatles, what image do you conjur up? Suits, ties, mop cuts, clean-shaven faces? That was Epstein's idea.
Initially, the Beatles were vulgar and irreverent on-stage. They wore jeans and leather jackets, swore like sailors, and drank and smoked during shows. Epstein urged them to throw that out and start fresh.
Going in line with their poppy musical style, the guys donned the suits, toned down their behavior and cleaned up their faces, even after some resistance from Lennon. And there's no question the guys' new boyish image played a major role in their rise to the top of the industry. The screaming girls and fainting fans grew exponentially as soon as the "new" Beatles took the stage.
3. He never messed with the music

This is easily the most important thing Epstein did – or didn't do, depending on how you look at it. He knew what the guys were capable of writing on their own, so he let them do their thing instead of forcing them into watered-down radio pop. The very idea of a group writing all of the music and lyrics themselves was unheard-of in the early-1960s, but Epstein insisted on it. We like to think that was a pretty good decision.
Not only did Epstein let the guys write freely, he picked the right songs to promote. When "Roll Over Beethoven" was proposed as a U.S. single, Epstein instead pushed "Can't Buy Me Love". That song only went on to reach No.1 in the same week where the Beatles famously held all of the top-five singles spots on the charts.
This goes back to Epstein simply believing in the band and seeing their potential. Not that he didn't at times try to use their talents to his own advantage, but fans still wouldn't have the Beatles as they know them without Epstein's work.
John and Paul tend to agree; McCartney called Epstein the "fifth Beatle" at one point, while Lennon once remarked that Epstein's death was the beginning of the end for them.
Epstein is incredibly not yet in the non-performers' section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite his major role in the launch of the biggest band of all time. There is an online petition to induct him, as well as a Facebook page dedicated to him. One day he will get the recognition he truly deserves.

Strikes, civil unrest and concerns about the economy are making vehicle dealers nervous about the future prospects of the vehicle market, despite sales activity confidence among dealers remaining unchanged in the fourth quarter of this year.
The latest WesBank vehicle sales confidence indicator released yesterday revealed that 16 percent of dealers indicated that strikes and labour unrest would have a negative effect on future vehicle sales activity, while 11 percent cited political instability and elections as negative factors.
Chris De Kock, the executive head of sales and marketing at WesBank, said neither of these factors were highlighted in the previous quarter.
Overall confidence levels in sales activity among dealers remained unchanged at six out of 10 in the fourth quarter.
Confidence in future sales activity for the next three months was also unchanged from the previous quarter at 6.5 and at 6.7 for the next six months, compared with 6.8 in the previous quarter.
De Kock said the overwhelming input from dealers when they were interviewed was what was happening at that moment on their floor.
He said the perceptions of dealers about future sales activity levels reflected their nervousness about some negative factors, but this was being offset by the unbelievable value coming from manufacturers in the form of prices being maintained and warranty extensions that dealers could promote to customers.
De Kock said the key factors that determined the demand for vehicles was the price and interest rates, but the recent weakness in the exchange rate of the rand had resulted in manufacturers increasing prices.
"Our view is that next year will be a tougher year for the industry," he said.
The views of dealers about positive factors that would drive future sales activity were mixed, with 29 percent mentioning new products, 15 percent interest rates and 10 percent economic factors.
In regard to factors that prevent consumers from completing a purchase, 32 percent of dealers cited the economy and consumer confidence as the primary reason, compared with 9 percent previously.
De Kock said 12 percent of dealers said a low trade-in price was also a factor in preventing consumers from closing a deal on a new vehicle.
He said there had been growth in the used vehicle market in the fourth quarter, with 34 percent of dealers stating it was more active, compared with 25 percent in the previous quarter. This was the highest used vehicle percentage for two years.
De Kock said the new vehicle market was clearly still the most active but there had been a shift towards used vehicles.
He said demand for new vehicles had remained strong over the last few years, partly because of the small price gap between used and new vehicles and a shortage of late model used vehicles resulting from slow sales during 2007 to 2009.
However, De Kock said this was likely to change as more vehicles purchased during the start of the upward cycle came back into the market.
The indicator showed that consumers remained cost-conscious, with 15.9 percent of dealers citing pricing and 12.9 percent incentives and special deals as crucial reasons for new car sales.
De Kock admitted these percentages should have been higher, but suggested the reason they were not was because pricing and incentives had become the industry norm.

It used to be so simple.
A patient arrived at the office, the clinicians analyzed their problem, performed a service, and sent a bill. Next.
Even though I am wildly overstating the simplicity of fee for service (the method described above), at a very basic level it is pretty straightforward. The complexities primarily originate from the fact that we have over 1,000 health insurance companies each with slight variations (a single payer system would be a lot easier).
Even though fee for service (FFS) hardly seems simple, the future may be significantly more complex. We all know the reason: under the current system, which is dominated by FFS, the nation is approaching spending 20 percent of GDP on healthcare, an unsustainable level for individuals, companies and the country (on personal note, my premiums have doubled in the last five years—ouch.)
The one thread throughout all payment reforms schemes is an increased burden on providers and their organizations to deliver higher quality and lower cost care. This will require a significant transition in delivery models—the way medical work is done. More on that later.
Here are some of the new payment modes on the near horizon.
Bundled Payments: instead of receiving a fee for each specific service, a bundled payment defines a flat fee that will be paid for a particular episode of care. Let's say a patient is diagnosed with congestive heart failure or needs a new knee, under bundled payments a fee would be calculated for the diagnosis and then divvied out to the various providers that care for the patient. To prevent underutilization of services, quality measures are attached to payment. To prevent over-utilization, the fee is fixed and may specifically define what is allowed for a patient with a particular episode—anything above that will not be paid. It encourages coordination because all providers are on the hook for achieving desired outcomes. Although the details of this approach are daunting for any organization that has not fully integrated hospital, primary care, and specialty services, it does get the incentives right. If providers are getting a fixed fee and are judged on outcomes, the incentive is for efficient, high quality care. The devil is in the details which will mean some pretty sophisticated IT to operationalize it.
Modified Capitation: under a capitated plan providers receive a flat monthly fee for every member that is assigned to them. Version 1.0 of capitation got a black eye because of the overzealousness of some plans in restricting care as a means of controlling costs. In the new iteration of capitation, quality performance measures have been added so that plans and providers are incentivized to keep care standards high as well as keeping costs low. Patients are risk-adjusted (with an associated modification of fees), so that providers are not punished for having an unhealthy panel. I love the basic simplicity of capitation (like all of these systems, the under the hood details are brutal) and it can be lucrative for practices that perfect the model. Since providers are taking risk, they have strong incentives to keep people healthy. It does favor integrated delivery systems or medical homes that are actively coordinating care across settings. The challenges: collecting and managing to quality metrics and dealing with difficult, non-compliant, chronically ill patients.
Hybrid Models: Some schemes will blend fee for service plus either rewards, penalties or supplemental fees to drive the right behavior. Example: providers that transition to a patient centered medical home (PCHM) may be eligible for monthly per member care coordination fee. This is a great idea since a huge hunk of medical costs are driven by individuals with chronic illnesses bouncing through the health care system. A fundamental principle of medical homes is help the chronically ill navigate this maze more effectively and with better outcomes. Physicians on FFS that are part of larger group or ACO (accountable care organization) may be able to participate in gain sharing in which bonuses are provided based on the ability of the group to achieve annual cost savings while meeting specified quality metrics.
Whatever ends up sticking, provider organizations will have to adopt their operations to fit the payment model. ACOs and the Patient Centered Medical Home (for primary care) are the two most prominent examples of modified delivery systems built to fit the new payment models.
Where are we now in payment reform? Still very early in the transition. Advocacy group Catalyst for Payment Reform recently reported that only about 11 percent of medical payments are outcome or value based. Report is here.
Since we are now in period of experimentation with new payment models, it is premature to predict what methodology will prevail; over the next five years there will be detailed analyses of pilot projects using these systems to see what works and what doesn't. One thing is certain: the existing system will not stay the same.
What do you see coming down the road for healthcare payment reform?

Always do your best to avoid plastics that contain toxic chemicals, like Bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalates.
Plastic #4 is low-density polyethylene or LDPE, and it's your safest bet, while plastic #3 is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It's widely used because it's cheap, durable, and easy to assemble. PVC is less safe because it's made with vinyl chloride, which is cancer-causing. It also poses serious environmental and health threats at all stages of its lifecycle — from manufacturing to use to disposal.
The good news is that safer and cost-effective alternatives are already available for virtually every PVC product out there, including baby products.

You can find PVC-free teethers, pacifiers, bibs, bath toys, and even Halloween costumes. The Centre for Health, Environment and Justice suggests this jingle to help you remember: "bad news comes in threes, don't buy PVC."
If your plastics are BPA- and phthalate-free, it's likely as safe as it gets.

Texas Oil Company Proposes Oil Pipline To Cross Iowa And Mahaska County
Dallas, Texas – A Dallas based company, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., recently announced that its board of directors has approved building an approximate 1,100 mile crude oil pipeline, "Bakken Pipeline", that would transport crude oil from the Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. The proposed pipeline would then interconnect with an existing 30-inch diameter Trunkline Pipeline. The "Trunkline" pipeline is currently being converted from natural gas service to crude transportation service.
In a press release, Energy Transfer Partners stated, "ETP has secured multiple long-term binding contractual commitments from shippers, sufficient to fully support the construction of a 30-inch pipeline to Patoka. The 30-inch diameter pipeline will initially provide 320,000 barrels per day of capacity, and ETP could increase the capacity of the Bakken Pipeline based on additional customer demand. ETP has already begun the process of ordering steel and negotiating construction contracts for the Bakken Pipeline, and ETP expects to have the Bakken Pipeline built and in service, and the Trunkline crude oil conversion project completed and in service, by the end of 2016."
Energy Transfer Partners said that the construction of the Bakken Pipeline project will help further develop the crude rich areas in and around the Bakken and provide additional U.S. crude supplies to U.S. markets and refineries. "The pipeline not only supports the continued growth and production on the Bakken area, but does so in a cost effective and environmentally responsible manner by reducing the current utilization of rail and truck transportation as the predominant alternative to moving Bakken crude oil volumes to major U.S. markets."
The proposed pipeline would cross Mahaska County much like the rest of Iowa, from the northwest to the southeast. In Mahaska, no official map is yet available, possible routes show the pipeline entering the county north of New Sharon and exiting near Highway 92 on the east side of the county.Print this ad for $10 off your next oil change
