LEVEL CROSS, N.C. -- Petty Enterprises is better off now, past its suffering of the past few dismal decades.
It is in a better place -- the memories of those who knew it in all its glory, unequaled in NASCAR to this day, with 268 wins and 10 championships.
Petty Enterprises ceased to exist last week when, no longer financially viable, it was merged with Gillett Evernham Motorsports.
But all of that was aftermath that occurred 70 miles away from here in Mooresville, N.C., where Petty Enterprises had been moved a year ago in a desperate struggle to save it.
Petty Enterprises lived and thrived and faded and struggled and died here, half a mile from the truly level crossroads of the hamlet of Level Cross, in a compound of low, white-painted buildings.
This is where I have come to pay my respects, for this is where it all happened, all that ever mattered to the Pettys, good and bad and tragic.
The compound lies forlorn except for a handful of employees who wonder what will come next. This is not even a Petty museum. A new one sits a few miles down the road in the town of Randleman.
Richard Petty is tied up in meetings down in Mooresville and won't be back here until next week, I'm told.
Just as well. I'd hate to hear him try to put a positive spin on what has to be a broken heart.
The dynasty began in 1949 under a shade tree beside Lee Petty's house, which still stands, the front yard so enormous that in the heyday of the team, the 1970s, you could see the patriarch hitting 9-iron shots out there.
People would approach him with pictures of him in his old dirt-track cars in the '50s, the decade of his three championships, and say those were the days. He would chew on the stem of his pipe and say, "I don't know. I like things just the way they are now."
At that point, Lee's eldest son, Richard, was at the pinnacle of NASCAR, winning at least 10 races most years on the way to winning 200 races and seven championships, both records.
What was more, Richard was the Arnold Palmer of his sport. With his easygoing charisma and his untiring patience with the media and fans, Richard almost single-handedly was lifting NASCAR out of the boondocks onto national television.
But Richard, when his prime was past, would never get to say he liked things "just the way they are." It never was that good again, let alone better.
Really, after 1981, the year of Richard's record seventh and last Daytona 500 win, all was ebb.
Even in 1984, he won his final victory while driving for another team because Petty Enterprises wasn't strong enough to support more than one driver. That driver was Richard's son, Kyle, who never made it big.
By the mid-1980s, Richard Petty admitted to me as we stood in the garage area at Daytona that Petty Enterprises was woefully behind the other NASCAR teams. He said catching up would be a struggle.
This was soon after the advent of high technology and professional engineering to NASCAR.
"We said, 'Well, we've been doing it our way for 25 years, so we don't believe we'll change,'" he admitted then.
Petty Enterprises, long the leader by far, was suddenly wondering where its competition went -- mainly new teams such as Hendrick Motorsports.
Richard's number, 43, once the most electrifying in all of NASCAR as it flashed past the grandstands, had faded into just another number, one that held no magnetism for younger drivers.
Struggling to bring the magic back to 43, Richard returned to Petty Enterprises, but he never won again. His final eight years in NASCAR were painful to watch, and you felt relieved for him when he retired in 1992.
There was one great upturn in the chronic illness of Petty Enterprises. Bright hope for revival dawned at the end of this past millennium as fourth-generation Adam Petty, Kyle's eldest son, came of age.
We all joked and wrote that maybe the Petty genes had skipped a generation, over Kyle, straight from Richard to Adam.
"My son," Kyle said, "can be what my father was."
The King and Adam walked and talked alike. They were lanky and easygoing. And they were closer than Richard and Kyle had been. Richard saw Adam as "really, really focused," he'd said joyously, whereas Kyle had been free-spirited, as fond of motorcycles and guitars as of racing.
Kyle, gazing out his mother's kitchen window one day as his father and son walked and talked together on the lawn, remarked to her, "Richard Petty's finally got the son he never had."
Superstardom surely seemed imminent. Corporate chieftains figuratively lined up outside this old compound to bid on Adam's future. I would have estimated just days before the tragedy that commitments were approaching $100 million for the new millennium's new star.
So if you ask me the specific day Petty Enterprises died, it was not at some negotiating table in Mooresville last week. Petty Enterprises died on May 12, 2000, with Adam Petty, 19, against a concrete wall at a racetrack in Loudon, N.H.
After that, Petty Enterprises was a pitiful zombie of itself.
And so, better that it's gone now. Finished. Laid to rest.
Word is the merged companies will emerge as Richard Petty Motorsports -- and surely that will be shortened to the generic-sounding RPM.
If Richard is hereafter a figurehead, good for him. He deserves to walk this earth as solely an icon for a while. He shouldn't have had to bear the business burdens and worries he has had since his own prime as a driver.
For nearly a quarter century, Petty Enterprises hadn't been able to keep up with the corporate trends of NASCAR, and it was sad to watch the grand old team even try.
It hadn't won a race since 1999, and that was a delightful aberration with John Andretti at the wheel. The last win before that was with Bobby Hamilton in 1997, and that was an aberration, too.
Then, to see Petty Enterprises' hopes raised sky-high, and then dashed so tragically at the turn of this century, was beyond gut-wrenching.
Petty Enterprises is gone. Sigh relief. Let it rest.

Punahou seeks to provide both students and parents with the best information on college choices and admission requirements to aid in the application process. Its college counseling philosophy is to stress the importance of focusing on a 'good fit', rather than what some may call a 'good school'.
Prior to the junior year, college preparation is simple, but important. Developing sound study habits, taking appropriate courses which increase each year in difficulty, and focusing on the "core courses" (English, Language, Math, Science and Social Studies) positions every student to follow any number of post high school avenues.
In the first semester, juniors take a mandatory, non-graded course designed to help them begin their college research process. Topics covered include: admissions factors, how to begin college research, standardized testing options, financial aid, identifying and refining personal college criteria, self-assessment, the college interview, the college application, the college essay and differences/similarities between small liberal arts colleges and large universities.
In the second semester, each junior and their parent/guardian meets with their college counselor to review the process and discuss college options.
In the first semester, each senior meets once more with their parent/guardian and their college counselor to review the list of colleges, discuss application procedures and touch on any concerns.
Punahou maintains a cordial relationship with the administrative and admission offices of many colleges and universities. Each year, representatives from colleges visit Punahou's campus to offer presentations to students. While in town, they also conduct evening information sessions for parents at area hotels.
College counselors take opportunties to visit colleges when traveling to the mainland. These visits also include talks with alumni currently in college to discuss their college choices, courses and activities.
Throughout the school year various topical workshops are held. Some of these are for students and take place during the school day. Such topics include: "Essay Tips", "Navigating the University of California Application", "What to Do if You're Wait Listed," etc.
There are also a number of evening meetings that we encourage parents to attend such as Junior Parent Night, Financial Aid 101, Senior Parent Night, etc.

microsoft surface book with performance base i7 512gb tablet is rated out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mosesvii from Great portable laptop/tablet I've owned the surface pro and wasn't in love with it. I was a little unsure how much I'd like the surface book but am happy to say I love it. Keyboard feels fantastic, not just for a portable device, it's just a great keyboard period. Touchpad is beautiful. Screen/display brilliant. Battery life fantastic. The snappiness of the system is good and I haven't experienced the driver issues I had with the surface pro. Installing windows updates does take quiet a lot of time, but they go through successfully. All in all a great device.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BRDM Design from After 1 year of ownership - Avoid! Microsoft recently sent emails to surface users asking them to provide their experience with the Surface product. I don't usually do reviews but since I typed it up for the feedback I figured I'd post this to try help someone avoid the same issues I've had. If you don't feel like reading, the summary is: This is touted as a professional level device capable of handling intensive tasks, it is an overpriced toy with significant design flaws and very poor after sale support. Definitely not the right device for people seriously involved in the creative community. For reference I am a Senior Product Development Engineer and purchased the laptop for work while travelling. I have the I7, 16b Ram, 512gb with discreet Nvidia GPU When asked by Microsoft to explain any negative experiences I have had with the device, my reply was: The device wholly under-performed and did not meet expectations. The computer struggles with menial tasks, by struggles I mean it heats up, the fans spool up and it runs super hot for stupid tasks like web browsing. (yes I checked all running programs and tried to optimise CPU control etc) In simple CAD modelling it would almost immediately get up to 100°c CPU temps and begin throttling, this cannot be good for components around the CPU, SSD storage and Lithium batteries are all proven to degrade much faster when exposed to elevated temperatures. I tried editing some 1080P 60FPS footage once using Davinci resolve, that was a total waste of time, it couldn't keep up, the video was choppy and completely uneditable... system processes using large amounts of CPU constantly.. increasing the CPU load on top of my normal tasks resulting in 100°c temperatures frequently. Extended searching for a solution to the problem turned up lots of cases with the same issues but no reliable fixes... The screen hinge/connection!!! with the laptop on my lap, the screen would regularly disconnect and reconnect if the laptop even slightly moved, sometimes causing lockups if the program was using the GPU in the keyboard.. Sleep of death, this again is a widely reported issue that seems to have been completely ignored. lately it is a given that if I have been using the PC and I've closed it and let it go to sleep, the screen will not wake when opened, the keyboard illuminates when touched but no response can be had from the screen. A hard reboot is the only solution. I had a period where the computer simply refused to turn on at all, right when I needed to get an urgent work assignment out... I was actually glad I would have a valid reason to return the product and get a refund. Unfortunately, it came right after a couple of days. The on off button!!!! this is supposed to be a mobile product, I assume the designers considered that the laptop would be carried in a bag to protect it during travels? Why is the On/Off button on the outside and proud of the unit? Hot bag syndrome is another widely reported issue with these machines that has been totally ignored. I had to go to the extent of making a special clip to place over the laptop edge when closed that covered the On/Off button after several hot bag incidents where I would arrive at my destination to find my battery almost completely empty and the laptop itself actually too hot to touch!!! again this cannot be good for the electronics within the machine. The on off button is software linked so why has an update not provided an option to disable the button if the laptop is closed!? the code would be incredibly simple, if the button is pressed, check to see if the laptop is open or closed, and if closed do nothing... I realise that it would have to be an option because some users have the closed laptop on their desk connected to external monitors and like to be able to turn the machine on without opening the laptop. BUT it should be an option. As you can see I am extremely disappointed in this product. I don't make a significant amount of money so to waste full retail price on this device is unacceptable. I then had to purchase another machine to do what this could not, so now the surface sits under my desk most of the time and is relegated to ordering groceries and other simple tasks that it can hopefully handle.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappy Tom from Beautiful laptop, poor user experience Touch screen is great as is the surface pen. Keyboard is great to type on. Trackpad is... meh. The user experience on the other hand is buggy. Screen dropping in and out, things taking ages to load... Honestly, for this money, buy a MacBook Pro. The interaction between touchscreen/tablet and laptops isn't quite there yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by zebathin from Great build, both hardware and software Bought the Surface Book recently, and I use it for programming and light data analysis. Thus far has handled everything I've thrown at it, with the added benefit of being a portable tablet for meetings and after work on the couch. Seems like the software/firmware issues have been sorted out. Highly recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by peter209 from Easy to use and very portable I have had this laptop for about a month now and couldn't be happier. It was a perfect choice to use for uni each day as the battery lasts all day without a recharge and is light and portable. It was very easy to set up out of the box, and we have not had any problems with it.

Here's a list of popular given names that have been traced to really unlikely "meanings"...
Of course, the real meaning of your name is whatever it meant to the person or persons who gave it to you. Name dictionaries can trace a name like "Mabel" to the Latin word amabilis, meaning "lovable," or the French ma belle, meaning "my pretty (daughter)," but if you were named after your Aunt Mabel the real meaning of the name might be "kind" or "quirky" or "Let's hope Aunt Mabel leaves her some money."
Anyway, shameless self-advertisement is what blogs are for...I've been collecting names and their histories and probable meanings for many years, and own a computer database incorporating the contents of over 30 "name dictionaries" (most in English) and ten foreign-language dictionaries. Most popular given names have acquired anywhere from five to twenty different "meanings." If you want the full story about your name or your friend's name, here are the three steps to take:
(1) Send a message listing the names that interest you.
(2) Contribute $1 per name to this blog.
(3) Indicate whether you want the name stories e-mailed to you personally, mailed to you personally (your address won't appear on this site), or posted on this site for others to enjoy.
Somewhere in the file of things I've written that will appear on this site, whenever my limited online time permits, are sample histories for the names "Zachary" and "Tamara."

Skip to comments.Week of babies and lies [Mediascum Attack Sarah Palin Again]
Posted on 01/04/2009 2:14:25 PM PST by Enchante
Week of babies and lies
Sarah Palin talks about her daughter's baby, and a hoax that fooled Oprah Winfrey falls apart.
Buzz Week in Review
A collective exhale ushered the volatile 2008 out the door this week, although one baby who caused a political storm managed to quietly slip himself out before the end. Meanwhile, a long-time Oprah hoax and high-seas piracy stirred up the Buzzand the searchesduring this transition period.
Mom, Do We Have to Do a Combo Celebration? Bristol Palin's boy emerged not as the grandson of the first female vice president, but as another December baby who will have to insist that his birthday celebrations remain separate from Christmas. Searches soared for the aptly named Baby Tripp, as well as for his momma (+851%) and all his youthful uncles and aunts. Meanwhile, proud grandma Sarah Palinalready busy defending her future son-in-law Levi Johnston's degree aspirationsused the happy event to warn against teen pregnancy on the governor's website. The message include Bristol calling her newborn "perfectly precious," although the timing itself hadn't been "ideal."
Oprah, Who Can You Believe? The dominoes finally fell this week after Herman Rosenblat, who had been telling a sweet little story about meeting his wife at the fence of Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany for a dozen years, recanted his story. After a New Republic article raised many questions, publisher Berkley Books (already fooled twice by other authors) canceled his forthcoming memoir, and another publisher offered refunds for "Angel Girl," a children's book inspired by Rosenblat's tale. His hoax had charmed Oprah (twice), who declared his story the "single greatest love story...we've ever told on the air." Hollywood, which always changes the truth anyway, is going ahead with a film project based on the well-meant but discredited tale.
(Excerpt) Read more at buzz.yahoo.com ...
Yahoo's current front page has photos of Sarah Palin and Oprah Winfrey side-by-side with the headline "Week of Babies and Lies"
The clear intent is to make it seem that Sarah Palin is somehow wrapped up in "lies" and maybe that she has to go on Oprah to talk about it.
NO, when you click to the actual article it turns out that one item is about Bristol Palin's baby, and a totally separate item is about the holocaust-related hoax love story that Oprah fell for.
Sarah Palin has NOTHING to do with the "lies" alluded to in the headline, but you'd never know it from the way Yahoo presents it on their main page, seen by 80 million Americans per day.
Can someone save a screenshot and post it here on FR?
It will go away b/c Yahoo changes these pages often, at least daily and sometimes more often when there's breaking news etc.
Outrageous, blatant smear of Sarah Palin with a headline that actually has nothing to do with her.
This was not "accidental" — this was some libscum editor(s) at Yahoo.com deciding that this was a cute way to smear Governor Palin.
Something for your collection — I couldn't believe it when I saw Governor Palin's photo under this headline..... I do NOT believe this juxtaposition was accidental. There are lots of other ways they could have framed their "buzz" story about various recent celebrity events.
Ah, they've changed the page — maybe someone pointed out to them how it made them look.
Too bad, I should have figured out how to take a screenshot and post it here!!
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the headline on Yahoo yesterday. Most people will only read the headline and think that it's Sarah Palin that's lying. Totally disgusting and totally planned by the left-wing media whores.
It's not even an original dirty trick — didn't US Weekly do the same thing on its cover?
So that thread was posted around 8 am and mine was posted after 3 pm, so that Yahoo homepage with Sarah Palin, Oprah, and the headline "Week of babies and lies" was up for at least 7+ hours before they changed it.

Illinois Popeye Pummels The CompetitionMonday, September 14th, 2009
For an 80-year-old cartoon character, Popeye has some sea legs. At least three towns promote his immortality with statues, but Chester, Illinois, clearly has wind in its sails.

Mexico Grande (Until December 2016) 2016 » Review by Rachel
Mexico was so much better than I even imagined. I felt safe the entire time and we stayed in really nice hotels. The food was different to westernised Mexican food but still good! The atmosphere in Cancun is crazy, I've never been anywhere like it. I enjoyed everyday in Mexico with a great combination of culture and night life. Also it was SO cheap (except for Cancun) for food and drinks. Highly recommend doing this tour :D

You can likely make adjustments that keep your child from being in contact with questionable content by utilizing these settings and limitations. You might even have the capacity to customize everyone's profiles to remove inappropriate titles that won't be right for each member of the household.
Consider allowing your children to play games on consoles. Consoles provide you with a lot more control over privacy, content and security settings, and content given that they can bypass these restrictions online. Children are far more protected when utilizing a dedicated video console system.
Don't play video games for more than a couple of hours or less.You are able to become hooked on playing video games, so keep an eye on your gaming habits.

Ultimately I would like to see myself as a professional illustrator for books. Maybe even work for Disney one day. No matter where I end up, though I know I will be happy so long as I am doing what I love. Drawing is a big part of my life and I can't imagine doing something else.
I try very hard to always be understanding and accepting of other people and try to see problems from an outside perspective as often as I can. As stated, I love meeting new people so please feel free to poke me sometime! I'm almost always around.

Original paper
The granulite to eclogite transition beneath the eastern margin of the Australian craton
Pearson, Norman J.; O'reilly, Suzanne Y.; Griffin, William L.
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 3 Number 2 (1991), p. 293 - 322
52 references
published: Apr 18, 1991
manuscript accepted: May 11, 1990
manuscript received: Oct 16, 1989
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/3/2/0293
ArtNo. ESP147050302006, Price: 29.00 €
Abstract Xenolith suites in kimberlitic and basaltic dykes on the eastern margin of the Australian craton (EMAC) are dominated by mafic rock types, with subordinate spinel and garnet lherzolite and felsic granulite. The mafic rocks include garnet websterites, mafic granulites (±kyanite) and eclogites. A range of microstructures demonstrates the transformation of primary igneous assemblages to granulites and eclogites, through exsolution, corona growth, breakdown of plagioclase and deformation. Eclogites and granulites contain similar compositional ranges of garnet and clinopyroxene ; P-T estimates indicate that these two rock types coexisted over the depth range from 35 to 75 km. The P-T array defined by the EM AC xenoliths extends from ca. 10 kbar/800°C to 22 kbar/1020°C, and shows the strong curvature typical of advective heat transport. The mafic rocks show a wide range in composition, and demonstrate the control of bulk composition on the stability of eclogite vs. granulite mineral assemblages. Ne-normative rocks with high normative olivine + pyroxene are mainly eclogites ; hy-normative rocks with high normative feldspar are mainly granulites. The microstructural and mineralogical changes are interpreted to reflect cooling of igneous intrusions in the lower crust and uppermost mantle. As cooling proceeded towards the steady-state conductive geotherms, an increasing proportion of mafic compositions entered the eclogite stability field. The conversion of granulite to eclogite was also influenced by kinetic factors, as shown by the arrested reactions preserved in many samples. The compositional diversity shown by the EMAC mafic xenoliths suggests that the igneous protoliths are the products of several episodes of magmatic underplating and tectonic activity, but have equilibrated toward a common geotherm, sampled at the time of entrainment.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation – £36.50.
I can't actually believe how long it has taken me to finally purchase this foundation. It has been in my wishlist for as long as I can remember but I just never got around to buying it until now. I have read countless reviews on this foundation, mostly positive, and I just had to try it and give my thoughts on it. Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation is an extremely natural looking, silky soft and lightweight fluid foundation. What made me really want to purchase this foundation is Amrezy. I mean c'mon… She is such make up goals, no? Her skin always looks absolutely flawless and I need that kinda flawless-ness in my life. Y'know what I mean? If it's good enough for Amrezy, it's good enough for me. The Luminous Silk Foundation is oil free (oily skinned girls – can I get a hell yeah?) and the finish is a kind of soft focus, demi-matte dream. It is a beautiful middle ground between matte and dewy and I bloody love it. I have to admit that I was a little weary of what to expect from this foundation finish wise but I was very pleasantly surprised. I have incredibly oily skin and I try to avoid foundations with a dewy finish because y'know, shiny grease ball face but I also don't want a foundation that will make my skin look too flat. I found that this foundation held up quite well throughout the day, even on my skin. I did have to do some damage control throughout the day with some blotting but that's too be expected with my skin and most foundations I use/have used. It's just the way of life for me. I found that the foundation sat really comfortably on my skin, it was incredibly lightweight and it covered my skins redness and any imperfections with ease. Impressed? I'd say so! I've tried to apply this foundation in a few different ways to see what works best and after trying a brush, my fingers, and a beauty blender, the results are in… the winner is *drumroll please* – a stippling brush or expert face brush. I usually apply my foundation with a beauty blender but the finish just wasn't quite right, it didn't do the foundation justice in my opinion.
Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation is housed inside a lovely frosted glass bottle (you know how I love the frosted glass, right?) and it has, wait for it… A PUMP. I almost did a little squeal of excitement. YES, I get excited over foundations that have a pump. Who doesn't? It's such a simple little thing but so many brands overlook it. We love the pump yo! I only need one pump of this bad boy to cover my entire face, two if I'm having a particularly bad skin day. The formula is quite watery and it builds up wonderfully. It doesn't contain any SPF whatsoever which makes it ideal for photographs – NO FLASHBACK (no ghost face) – but you will need to layer your skincare beforehand and ensure you have some decent SPF in your moisturiser/primer. We need to look after the skin y'all! The Luminous Silk Foundation comes in a massive variety of shades – 21 in total – there is literally something for everyone. I opted for shade 5 which is a great match for my skin. There are .5 shades incorporated in to the range as well which I found quite interesting. Again, something for everyone. I am enjoying using this foundation a lot, particularly on the clearer skin days, as it makes my skin look near perfect. I can't wait to see how it fairs next month when I'm back on Roaccutane and my skin is drier. As far as combination/oily skin goes, it's done a pretty good job. I can imagine this foundation being a great base for most skin types. I think it definitely deserves a place in my top five foundations.

About CBI Recruitment.
Central Bureau of Investigation traces its origin to the Special Police Establishment which was set up in 1941 by the Government of India. The functions of the S.P.E. then were to investigate cases of bribery and corruption in transactions with the War & Supply Department of India during World War II. Superintendence of the S.P.E. was vested with the War Department. Even after the end of the War, the need for a Central Government agency to investigate cases of bribery and corruption by Central Government employees was felt.

Arthritis, diabetes type 2, heart disease, obesity, and stroke generate the most costs and cause the most deaths among the United States population, despite care providers' ability to prevent the illnesses. In 2012, 117 million consumers suffered from chronic conditions, with one in four of the population having multiple illnesses. Chronic conditions cost each sufferer roughly $6,000 each year, an amount five times higher than the expenses incurred by consumers without chronic conditions. The following overviews provide more detail on how these conditions affect the population.
Heart Disease
Plaque buildup in arteries reduces blood flow, causing heart disease. [1] Annually, the condition causes 25 percent of deaths in the United States, totaling to 610,000 mortalities. Coronary heart disease causes over half of those deaths. According to the Department of Health and Human Services Million Heart campaign, heart disease and stroke afflict the most consumers and generate the most expenses among all chronic conditions, costing firms over $300 billion in disbursements and productivity.
Brain cells deprived of oxygen by restricted blood flow causes stroke, a complication resulting from heart disease. [2] According to the National Stroke Association, 800,000 strokes occur among the population every year.
Care providers can prevent 80 percent of all stroke events. Despite this, strokes claim a life in the United States every five minutes, representing the fifth highest cause of death and disability.
The American Heart Association reports that strokes cost American insurers $70 billion in disbursements and companies $33 billion in productivity losses. [3] Moreover, the association forecasts that this amount will double by 2030.
As of 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates nearly 700,000 new yearly cancer diagnoses and 600,000 cancer deaths. [4] While the cancer rate remains constant for women, advancements in prostate cancer diagnoses have reduced the rate among men. The organization calls for increased funding for cancer research and equitable educational initiatives.
By 2030, cancer treatment will generate $173 billion in expenses, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology. While the group expresses exhilaration about promising new cancer treatments and technologies, they raise equal concern over rising consumer costs due to improved patient outcomes and longevity.
Type 2 Diabetes
High blood glucose levels cause hyperglycemia, or type 2 diabetes, where the body develops resistance to naturally produced insulin. [5] The American Diabetes Association reports that nearly 10 percent of the population suffers from diabetes, with 25 percent of the senior population, or nearly 12 million seniors, disproportionately afflicted.
Diabetes treatment generates $322 billion in annual medical expenses, exhausting nearly 35 percent of all Medicare funds and 20 percent of all insurance disbursements. Moreover, global rising insulin costs could reach nearly $50 billion by the year 2020.
The 2015 United States Census reports obesity among more than 30 percent of the adult population, which encompasses 97 million individuals. [6] Obesity in America has risen marginally and consistently since 1997, showing a downturn only once between 2002 and 2003. The Centers for Disease Control reports that medical expenses related to the disease cost nearly $148 million in 2008 and estimates that firms lost nearly $3.5 to $6.5 billion due absenteeism and productivity losses, or $80 to $130 for each overweight employee.
The Arthritis Foundation describes arthritis as a broad term covering joint pain for over 100 diagnoses and complications. [7] The CDC reports detection of the disease in nearly 25 percent of overweight and over 30 percent of obese adults. Over the past 15 years, arthritis, joint inflammation, and joint pain have remained the highest cause of disability. Anti-inflammatory arthritis medications have not changed, yet have risen sharply in price over the last three years; Enbrel, Humira, and Xeljanz have risen 80 percent to $4,000, nearly 70 percent to $3,700, and nearly 45 percent to more than $3,100 respectively for a one month supply.
Managing Chronic Illness One Patient at a Time
The Southern Gerontological Association reports that care coordination helps seniors to manage illnesses and experience improved long-term outcomes and notes that nearly 75 percent of the group suffers from multiple chronic illnesses that generate significant Medicare expenditures. [8] While coordination practices vary, the association indicates that nurses with a keen ability to encourage long-term wellness engagement among multiple chronic illness sufferers improves outcomes, lowers risks, and reduces readmissions for the group.
The United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) evaluates preventative health services and serves as a critical care provider resource for evidence-based recommendations. Nurses can participate in shaping the recommendations through membership in health advocacy groups, such as the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. The USPSTF calls on nurses as primary patient contacts, to promote wellness participation and teach multiple chronic disease sufferers which measures help consumers lead healthier lives.

THAT sound you heard this morning was the screams of tweens gone wild, as heartthrob boy band One Direction's "pop-up" shop opened in Brisbane.
With some dedicated fans camping out overnight, the 1D World shop popped open at 9am today, purveying all manner of wares emblazoned with the pop idols' image and logo.
Fans will be stocking up ahead of the group's next tour in 2013.
The store is open for nine days at 201 Elizabeth St, City. Previous openings in New Zealand, Sydney and Melbourne were similarly swamped.

How Britain's heroes ensured D-Day victory
While acknowledging the role America played in the D-Day landings, JAMES HOLLAND says we should remember that it was the British forces who were dominant in organising and executing the invasion
Tuesday, June 6, 1944, 7am. In the belly of their Sherman tank Bert Jenkins and the rest of the crew were all sick as the flat-bottomed landing craft tank (LCT) lurched, rose and smacked down again on to the rough sea. They could see nothing, not even as dawn broke off the Normandy coast, because a large waterproof canvas screen was surrounding the tank. Well, it was supposed to be waterproof.
This was part of the equipment of their duplex-drive tank, a specially adapted Sherman that could, in theory, "swim" to the shore.
They had been in that tank since Sunday with little more than the occasional mug of tea and now, after two days of being thrown around and sitting in cramped, damp conditions with the stench of vomit mixed with grease and oil, Bert and his mates simply wanted to get on to dry land...no matter what dangers lay ahead.
"Stand To" had been called and now the LCT was running for the shore. The first Allied aircraft had roared over and naval guns were booming, their shells hurtling inland. The plan had been to drop the DD tanks 3,000 yards out but the commander of the LCT decided that to do so would be almost certain death and so brought them in to 700 yards. "Which," says Bert, "was still a bloomin' long way."
As the ramp went down, the swell still rising and falling, engines started and the first DD tanks of B Squadron, the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry, slipped into the water. Key to their chances of success was to drive down the ramp as slowly as possible in an effort to avoid a wave over the front of the screen. Safely making it into the water they headed for the shore, deaf to the sounds of battle.
As it happened the DD Shermans that made it were just about the only troops to reach the correct part of Jig sector, the most westerly part of Gold Beach and the centre of the invasion. As Bert's tank reached firm sand they had to stop and disengage the duplex drive.
Mortars were falling around them, machine guns were spitting bullets and a 77mm gun from a bunker at Le Hamel, on the edge of Jig, opened fire. No sooner were they about to move again than the tank was hit and suddenly the canvas screen around them was on fire.
"Christ, we're going to be fried," thought Bert. "We're finished." But they were in luck. The pipes inflating the screen had also been hit, letting all the air out. As they were still in water, the flames quickly extinguished. Bert and two of the crew, including Lieutenant Monty Horley the troop commander, hurriedly clambered out and hid behind the tank. The three of them had fought together since the Battle of Alamein in October 1942 and then on through Tunisia. Two others were missing.
Bullets started to ping around them and Bert scampered to the rear of the Sherman. Only later when the fighting on the beach began to calm down did he dare move. "I looked around," says Bert, "the other two were lying there dead where we had just been standing. Terrible."
Sitting in cramped, damp conditions with the stench of vomit mixed with grease and oil
Bert survived not only D-Day but also the entire Normandy campaign, although many in the Sherwood Rangers were not so fortunate. Almost continually in action, this regiment which had headed off to the Middle East in early 1940 with their horses and sabres, had become one of the finest armoured units in the British Army and would continue to rack up battle honours until the end of the war.
Their casualties, as they were among all the main fighting units in the Normandy campaign, were appalling. The Sherwood Rangers landed on D-Day with 37 officers but by the end of the campaign they had lost a total of 61. Those statistics were not untypical. Despite this, the British involvement on D-Day and the campaign that followed is still widely seen as secondary to that of the Americans. This is simply not true.
Casualties on the American and British beaches (including Juno where the Canadians landed) were much the same, with some incredibly tough and bitter fighting, as Bert Jenkins can testify. In most other regards, however, D-Day was also much more of a British show than an American one.
Do not be seduced by films like Saving Private Ryan or even the recent German mini-series Generation War, which referred to the "American landings". The fact is that although American General Dwight D Eisenhower was Supreme Allied Commander, his deputy Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder was British, as were the three service chiefs.
Sir Bertram Admiral Ramsay (also British) commanded the Allied naval forces and although planning was a combined effort it was predominantly British naval staff from Fort Southwick, near Portsmouth with the extraordinary tunnels underneath, who planned and oversaw the incredibly complex and utterly successful shipping operation codenamed NEPTUNE.
Of the 1,213 warships involved, 200 were American while 892 were British. Perhaps more surprisingly, of the 4,126 landing craft involved, only 805 were American while 3,261 were British.
Air Chief Marshal Trafford Leigh Mallory was in command of all Allied Air Forces, while New Zealander Air Marshal "Mary" Coningham commanded all Tactical AirForces (those supporting the troops). On D-Day two-thirds of the 11,590 aircraft used were British. Britain alone built 132,500 aircraft during the war.
Allied (and British) air power played a leading role in paving the way for D-Day and in the nine weeks before June 6, 197,000 tons of bombs were dropped on bridges, railways, marshalling yards and other key enemy transportation targets (compared with 18,000 tons of bombs dropped on London during the entire Blitz).
Earlier in the year the Luftwaffe had been so badly mauled that by D-Day the Allies had almost total control of the skies, a key requirement for any successful seaborne landing. The RAF also played an important role in the largely British-conceived (and very successful) deception campaign which ensured that, when the invasion took place, the location and timing were a complete surprise to the Germans.
General Sir Bernard Montgomery was not only the main architect of Operation OVERLORD but he also commanded all Allied ground forces on D-Day. He remains a controversial figure and there is no doubt he was a difficult character. Despite this, it should be remembered that for the most part his plan fulfilled its aims: the landings were a success, the flanks were secured, a bridgehead was made and the build-up of troops and equipment was sufficiently quick that the Germans had no chance of making a concentrated counterattack on their own terms.
Any seaborne invasion is a massively high-risk venture and there was much that could have gone wrong. Montgomery shouldered his part of the responsibility with a level of calm confidence that was contagious. That should not be belittled.
Finally, the British part in maintaining those increasingly large forces once in France should also never be forgotten. Britain supplied 31 per cent of all American supplies as well as most of its own and also had the vision, nerve and wherewithal to conceive, design and build two floating harbours the size of Dover that were towed across the Channel.
The two Mulberry Harbours were testament to a technologically advanced, forward-thinking nation that was fighting a modern war with a level of efficiency that Germany could only dream about.
The Americans played an integral part in D-Day, their bravery and determination was unquestioned and through the campaign that followed they continued to show a level of ingenuity, flexibility and drive that was impressive. But it is very important when, as we commemorate the
70th anniversary this week we remember the huge effort and the astonishing contribution made by Britain.
To continue to view this extraordinary episode in history as though we were hanging on the shirt tails of the Americans is to misrepresent history and to do a gross misservice to the British soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part.
It is also time to move away from the idea that British troops were slow, cumbersome and spent too much time "brewing up" mugs of tea.
In the fighting that followed the British Second Army drew in a greater concentration of German panzer divisions, among the elite, than at any other time or place in the entire war and largely annihilated them. It took time but by the end of the campaign those panzer divisions had haemorrhaged men and machines to a point where they could simply no longer carry on fighting. The much-maligned British Army had destroyed some of the best units Germany could produce.
This is not about jingoism or tapping into some bogus Ukip-style sense of nationalism. Rather it is about moving away from a now very entrenched view of D-Day, one that feels all too familiar but which is becoming ever more simplified in the retelling, and recognising the enormous contribution Britain made to one of the most significant episodes in the history of the western world.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing Equipment' started by Prestige Landscaping, Jan 26, 2013.
same here I use all 110 trimmers and have no complaints at all
What are you cutting? Perfect grass goes to exmark, everything else scag has em beat.
Don't work for kawi, I'm a lco with a decent degree when it comes to engines though. Have a buddy who did design some kawi engines and currently designs polaris/victory engines. Interesting note on a victory engine running on dynos the motors are gaining hp past 100,000 miles.
Anyways you made a thread, cool inform ones with that thread. People interested will follow it or it can be searched if people are interested in it. Posting on peoples for sale threads, not cool. Hijacking threads like this one, not cool.
Posted via Mobile Device
Well I'd have to say we run exmarks now and they never give us any problems other than minor things. So over all we are happy. As far as echo goes tho my employees are the main reason I have a problem with them. My guys say they do not have the power that they think they should... But is this due to the torque converter. Maybe they just sound like they are not doing alot but really are. I know they are suppose to be 50% less rpm's with same power but we are starting to think that's bullcrap.
It is all in their heads unless you don't have them peaked out in rpm. It is high torque and slightly lower rpm but under load it is alnmost the same. Get you units tuned.....SRM265T is the best of their units.
scags are the best..hands down. shindaiwa hand helds are the only way to go
I did a ton a research and tested about everything out there this time last year and went with the scag. Ended up getting the 72"cheetah with the 34 kohler. Like others have said, if you are mowing well manicured lawns that are completely dry it is hard to beat the exmark however I don't often mow in those conditions. For me the scag was the best choice, you have to decide what is the best choice for you, both are quality made machines. Good luck with whatever you choose.
I agree! Exmark for a plush well taken care of lawn, anything else Scag!

My experience is no different from that of any other Christian who stumbles after the cross to Calvary. Every period of our lives is a microcosm of the life of Christ: The brightness of a star, the excitement of new beginnings, the obscurity, the hard work, the miracles, the friends, the loss of friends, the suffering, even the death of a bit of ourselves...and a resurrection. The whole process starts over again as we are reborn again (forgive the redundancy.) Yet, though we live the life of Christ, we do so imperfectly and often live like his apostles did. We are the ones who abandon our friends, overcome by the fear which suppresses for a time our hope, our joy, our love. And when our fear is greatest, we hide in our apathy, we turn in on ourselves. Our "door being closed" (cf. John 20:25), we do not expect our King to find us. We may not even want him to find us. But we have an insistent King and he breaks through even our hardest hearts.
This reality is not one we always deal with well. The women who first heard the news of the Resurrection were fearful and overjoyed. Is it too much to hope that Christ returns to us again in the flesh? We are scared that it is not true, for how could it be true? How is death overcome? How is sin abolished? The Flatline seems to be the consistent reality. Betrayal is real in our lives as it was in Christ's. Our friends mess up, leave us, forget us, confuse us. Our Church struggles to continue its mission being crippled by scandal and the strong wave of secularism and modernism that has left it still reeling. When we grow up, we see our parents as the fallible human beings they are. We have something in common with them, they are no longer the strong distant authority that compels us to follow. So it is with the Church. As we grow up, we see our Mother the Church in all her sinfulness, all her confusion, all her ugliness. Her very clear truths are obscured by her members words and actions. Some, seeing this, leave her disillusioned. Hope is lost. The paradox is too much.
And yet, how can we account for the potent soul-socking presence of Christ in our lives? How can we account for the smell of lilacs, the strains of a solo cello arpeggiating the image of the Creator's love? The taste of wine, the majestic order of an architectural wonder, a reflection in stone of the heavenly Jerusalem? The laughter of friends, the wind over the lake, the shared moments of joy, sadness, contentment?
How can we account for the fact that Christ asks us to come and have a personal audience with him every week? The King IN THE FLESH invites us to his palace, to speak with him, to listen to his wisdom, to feast with him, to love him.
It is too powerful an idea for us to believe, and fear fills our hearts. But we must go back again and again to confirm our joy. And week in, week out, Christ comes through our locked doors and establishes the reality and calls us to overcome our fear with his joy.

A PR campaign, when executed right, can live long in the memory. In the competitive, brand-driven, 'look here, not there' marketing landscape, it's refreshing and often heart-warming when a charity PR campaign excels.
In this post we revisit two memorable case studies from around the globe and look at one of our own, examining why each campaign was successful in its own right.
#MissingType – NHS Blood and Transplant
For two years running NHS Blood and Transplant have run the #MissingType campaign to encourage donations and highlight the decline in people signing up to give blood.
Asking brands and individuals to remove As, Bs and Os from their names on their website, signage and Twitter profile for a limited time, the clever charity PR campaign was a huge success. The initiative drew attention to blood donation and raised awareness around the need for people of different blood types to give blood. The results were excellent with over 10,000 new donors in 2015 and an impressive 30,000 people registering during National Blood Week in 2016.
Why was it successful?
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Perhaps the most prominent viral charity campaign in recent memory is The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Going viral in 2014 – although possibly not a concept born in a meeting room – the Ice Bucket Challenge got tremendous results for The ALS association.
While the origins of dropping buckets of ice-filled water over heads in the name of fundraising are still being debated, it didn't stop charity PR teams from making the most of the waves the challenge made in the summer of 2014.
Why was it successful?
Dismissed as 'slacktivism' by some; 'actions performed via the Internet in support of a political or social cause but regarded as requiring little time or involvement', ALS proudly put that negativity to bed when it announced that the money generated had been monumental in funding an ALS breakthrough.
Scotty's Little Soldiers – The Sun's 'Smiles at Christmas' Campaign
Our client, Scotty's Little Soldiers, the charity which supports children who have lost a parent in the British Armed Forces, aims to make kids who have experienced tragedy smile again.
Christmas time 2016 saw Wolfstar secure extensive coverage for the charity in The Sun's 'Smiles at Christmas' campaign. Running over the course of a month, the campaign allowed Scotty's beneficiaries to share their stories and tell the Great British public just how much the charity has done for them.
Why was it successful?
With ever-increasing competition between charities, public relations has the ability to give a charity the edge they need. If you're a charity we'd love to explore PR opportunities with you. Drop us a line…

If you're squeamish you may need not to read this post.
Had a biopsy on that little triangle of skin in the corner of my eye on Friday. It's just like a freckle, really, but they wanted to check it out. Suffice to say it was a horrible experience. Once you've had your eye washed out with cleaning fluid and are lying blinking and streaming, with a bright light added to the equation, that's when they stick a needle in your eye. Well, that little corner piece of skin, anyway. It was that part (the local anaesthetic) that was most misery-ating (I know, not a word, but it is in my disctionary). The stinging pain in the corner of the eye is not one you can remove yourself from and I'm afraid I don't even know if my eye was merely watering profusely or I was actually crying.
It's the first time I've had a surgeon wipe away my tears.
They were very nice, although I did get a premonitory twinge when the nurse stationed herself ready to hold my hand. Hand holding is underrated; I was very glad to cling to her.
I was also given a cup of tea afterwards. Did I look that bad?
Now I'm praying that it comes back clear so I don't have to go through it again.
As usual in having an experience like that I can't help but be reminded of those who have to have unpleasant procedures like this on a frequent basis. Er. Almost wrote that it was an eye-opening experience, with no intentional pun. Ugh.
But you get the point.
Am stopping now.

Happy Saturday - Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Hands up if you remember The Bodyguard, from 1992 - yes, it really was, way back then. And I can recall people flocking to the pictures to see and hear Whitney perform. They got a bonus, as the movie was a great treat in escapism, and time out from everyday life.
Kevin Costner gave a good performance as Frank, the bodyguard hired to protect Rachel, (Whitney Houston) when she receives a number of threats made against her life.
Although the film received mixed reviews, it grossed 16.6 million dollars at the box office in its first weekend alone. The album of the soundtrack, went on to be the biggest selling of all time, with more than 42 million copies sold world wide!
Enjoy the song - enjoy your Saturday.

Mallinder admits oversight
Northampton coach Jim Mallinder admitted that Ben Foden's appearance for the duration of Saturday's match was an oversight.
Last Updated: 23/04/11 7:16pm
Northampton coach Jim Mallinder admitted that Ben Foden's appearance for the duration of Saturday's 26-20 victory at London Irish - in breach of RFU rules - had been an oversight.
The full-back should only have played a maximum of 67 minutes of the match under the Elite Player Agreement, which limits the Saints' England players to the number of club minutes they can play.
A hectic schedule of three games in eight days should have resulted in Foden's substitution but after watching his side win a match which virtually assured them a place in the Aviva Premiership play-offs, Mallinder seemed unconcerned.
He said: "I forgot, I don't see it as an issue; I hope a sensible view will be taken. We withdrew players from playing at Gloucester on Tuesday and we've done less training this week."
Toby Booth, his Irish counterpart, said: "I'm sure the authorities will have a look at it but it's not the reason we lost the game."
Northampton were leading 23-6 with 14 minutes to go after Chris Ashton scored twice but they then had to cling on as a late fightback from the Exiles brought them two tries inside four minutes.
Ashton earned his man of the match status when his late try-saving tackle denied Topsy Ojo a potential victory-clinching score for Irish.
Hung on
Ashton referred to Northampton's European Cup semi-final against Perpignan at Milton Keynes when he said: "We played very well but then we pulled up thinking about next week's game against Perpignan but fortunately we hung on."
Mallinder added: "Perpignan have rested players this weekend so they are targeting a European Cup win.
"We shouldn't have had to play three games this week as going to Gloucester with a weakened side because of an unfit pitch should not be allowed to happen as it affects the integrity of the competition (the Premiership).
"We should have gone to Gloucester on Boxing Day (the match was postponed due to adverse weather conditions) with a full side."
But Mallinder was happy about his side's performance against Irish.
He said: "We showed good control in the game but a couple of defensive lapses in the second half nearly cost us but I'm extremely pleased we have doubled them."
Booth praised Ashton for his contribution to the victory.
He said: "We gave away two tries from turnovers with the man who will get all the headlines in the morning (Ashton) clinically finishing them off.
"At the end he comes over from the opposite wing to make a try-saving tackle on Topsy.
"I'm really disappointed but I'm proud of the way that we got back into the contest."
Ashton's two tries and 16 points from Stephen Myler proved decisive for Northampton.
Richard Thorpe and Seilala Mapusua touched down for the home side with Tom Homer kicking two conversions and two penalties.

My blog doesn't have much of at "theme;" I pretty much do whatever I want. The majority of my posts are about baking, but this is not exclusively a baking blog. I'm someone who generally watches what she eats and makes exercise a priority in her life, but this is most definitely not a healthy eating blog (see recently these, or these, or even these). Butter, flour, sugar, chocolate – these are the things that make life worth living. But everything in moderation, right?
That's why I love new book Baking with Less Sugar, by Joanne Chang, the pastry chef–owner of Flour Bakery + Café in Boston. For her book, Joanne developed recipes using natural sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, and fruit juice. She also includes recipes that simply use (much) less refined sugar, which allows the other flavors in the recipe to shine. These Lemon Polenta Pistachio Buttons are one of those recipes. They are a lemony, just-sweet-enough cookie with a lovely crunchy texture from a healthy dose cornmeal in the dough. Topped with a little sweetened crushed pistachios, they are a treat perfect for any occasion.
Overall, they are easy to make (no mixer or fancy equipment required!) and taste fantastic, while being summer wardrobe-friendly. Thanks for the great book, Joanne – can't wait to try more recipes!
Lemon Polenta Pistachio Buttons
Baking with Less Sugar by Joanne Chang of The Flour Bakery + Café
Makes 10-12 cookies
Total active time: 45 minutes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugar dipping mix
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped, roasted and salted pistachios
1 Tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1. Pour butter into medium bowl and add the sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and egg; stir together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, stir to combine. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well-combined. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge until firm, about 1 hour (or up to overnight).
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven.
4. Make the sugar dipping mixture: combine sugar, pistachios, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
5. Roll the cookie dough into balls the size of a large walnut; I ended up with 11 cookies. Roll the dough balls in the dipping mix – press firmly to allow the mix to adhere to the dough. Place cookies on a lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Press them flat with the palm of your hand, they will not spread much when the bake. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown on edges and pale in the center. Let them cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
