Rihanna, perhaps the real mayor of Tel Aviv, entertains but doesn't sing
10/23/2013 11:28
After appearing on stage over an hour late, diva shows off in-your-face dance moves but fails to impress vocally in front of nearly 55,000 fans.

Much was made about
low voter participation
numbers in Tel Aviv Tuesday, but pop singer Rihanna got exactly the turnout she was expecting. The concert in Yarkon Park was sold out with nearly 55,000 people dancing to the music.
Maybe Rihanna should have run for mayor of Tel Aviv. This is only her second time performing in the White City, but she seemed to unite much of it, with an audience ranging from children to middle-aged couples, religious to secular, straight to gay.
Rihanna also shouted "Tel Aviv" about a dozen times, said she'd never forget the night, and did not stop flashing her megawatt grin for a moment, so she already sounds like she's a fan of the city. Plus, she couldn't be blamed for the low voter turnout, since she appeared on stage an hour late, minutes after the polls closed at 10 p.m.
Fans in the audience seemed to accept the diva's onstage apology for her more-than-fashionably late appearance, immediately cheering and jumping. Still, quite a few parents were seen ushering out their children early, perhaps because it was bedtime, or maybe because they didn't want impressionable young minds to see the 25-year-old from Barbados bumping and grinding on her microphone stand like a stripper on a pole to "Rock Star 101."
Rihanna did not disappoint as far as her notoriously in-your-face sexuality is concerned. She provided plenty of examples of the trendy dance twerking, which is, essentially, squatting and rapidly humping the air. For much of the show she danced around the stage in a black bra and a shredded black skirt with a giant layered pearl necklace and pearl tiara, like a sort of debauched Holly Golightly. She removed her tiara before the song "S&M," possibly because princesses don't sing lyrics like "chains and whips excite me," but probably because she swung her waist-length hair extensions in the air repeatedly.
The lights and effects in the show were effective and entertaining, especially the glamorous mug shots displayed on the big screens and gunshot sound effects during "Man Down," a song with the chorus "oh mama, I just shot a man down."
What was disappointing, however, was the singing. Rihanna showed off her chops in a few of the slower songs, like "All of the Lights" and "What's My Name," executing them beautifully, but the backing track dominated in most of the dance hits that made her a star. For "Umbrella," she quipped that "you all know the lyrics" and let the audience do the heavy lifting. In other songs like "Only Girl in the World," "Rude Boy" and "Where Have You Been," Rihanna seemed to only belt out the high notes for effect.
At least Rihanna kept her sense of humor, since at least part of the set list seemed to be a sort of word play. She left the stage after "Please Don't Stop the Music" and "Where Have You Been," and came back with "Stay."
Then, the pop singer concluded the concert with "Diamonds," the song that gave her world tour its name, thanked the crowd, and disappeared into the night, leaving Tel Aviv with the same mayor it had before Election Day.

Insurance Premiums come a tumbling down. Individuals and families applying for 2014 Health Care are discovering their premiums at a 50% discount or more. N.Y. State as one example, of many states, has already approved the discounted premium cost. Citing an example of an individual that presently pays $1,000 per month will be able to obtain that same insurance coverage at a premium of $308 per month.
Obamas administration followed up with their annalist of the CBOs numbers, a bipartisan agency known as the Congressional Budget Office, did not take into account the sliding scale that is offered by the Health Care Bill. Adding a 10% to 18% greater premium savings to the individually insured, which will include additional discounts for incomes as high as $94,200 for a family of four. Recent CBO report failure to project the accelerating decreasing debt provides credit to the Obamas administrations Health Care cost projections. accuracy. Individual Mandates written into the Health Care Bill is stimulating the insurance companies into a frenzy of competition. Factoring in, a wave of newly uninsured youthful clients. Immediate reaction from the republicans extremist within their House is pushing their Bill to remove Individual Mandate from the Health Care Bill as it presently exist. Fortunately democrats hold the Senate and Executive Branch and success of the republican extremist is not likely. Individual Mandates value was demonstrated by N.Y. State. N.Y. State required that all applications for the 2014 Health Care Insurance be accepted. However they excluded the Individual Mandate clause. Needless to say the results were that the frail and sick of health applied as the youthful healthy citizens declined. N.Y.s experiment illuminates the value of the Individual Mandate clause. Republicans House extremist seeking to sabotage, our Health Care, should be duly noted for what actions will be required by the voters of 2014. |

Thank you for that info. These two will make good subjects for study. Observes the subtle differences. Excerpts from the Record STOCKTON - If there's a right way to go about municipal bankruptcy, Stockton may prove to be the poster child. If there's a wrong way, look to San Bernardino. Now that Detroit has taken the infamous title of the largest city filing bankruptcy in history. How will they handle their bankruptcy? Given that Californias cities that are flirting with bankruptcy are small cities to the least no more than a village. Other problems Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino aren't the only California cities in financial crisis. Atwater (Pop. 28,626): Bankruptcy avoided with union concessions last year. Azusa (Pop. 46,678): A downgraded credit rating by Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Compton (Pop. 97,156): Deficit hit $40 million in 2011. The city no longer gets a bond rating. Fresno (Pop. 501,362): Despite cutting work force by 25 percent, the city has a $16 million deficit this year. Hercules (Pop. 24,455): City's credit rating fell seven grades in 2012. Mammoth Lakes (Pop. 8,296): Resort city filed for bankruptcy last year, then withdrew its petition. Monrovia (Pop. 36,857): S&P cited "substantially weakened general fund." Oakland (Pop. 395,817): High crime, low revenue and $19 million shortfall in coming fiscal year. San Jose (Pop. 967,487): Eleven straight general fund deficits and "long-term structural" budget problems. Vernon (Pop. 113): California's smallest city was subject of a scathing state audit over bad investments. Source: Record wire services On April 1, a federal judge accepted the city's Chapter 9 application - giving Stockton, population 296,000, the label of being the nation's largest city to ever enter bankruptcy. But, indirectly, the court also stated that the city had done what it could to avoid the designation. San Bernardino struggled for months with defining its fiscal status, the city council was split over what course to take, it skipped AB506, a recall of the city's elected leadership is under way and dissolution as a municipality has been discussed. The Southern California community, population 210,000, appears to have a long wait before its bankruptcy eligibility is determined. Stockton and San Bernardino have been described as test cases for other cities in California and the nation. At least 10 other communities have been identified as facing serious financial stress, much of it linked to the economic recession and the companion foreclosure crisis. Stockton on last report is on the mend and returning to stability. Article supports what I was saying. The full damage from the aftershocks of the Great Recession are now materializing. Does not say anything about pensions as no doubt they would be one of the factors as there are many other factors that contributed to the negative issues of their economics. |

Cities going bankrupt? It could happen to you. July 11, 2012 JBudget & Spending Another city has gone bankrupt. Scranton, Pennsylvanias, the states sixth-most-populous city (population of 76,089 in 2010 census), is down to its last $5,000 and has no way to pay salaries.The mayor wants an immediate tax hike of 29% and 78% over three years. In every sense of the word, Scranton is bankrupt. And this May become a sign of the times. Texas cities are not exempt as local governments on Texas are $322 Billion in debt.

Now back to the chasm.
Its celebration time, come on. Everything is going to be alright. Celebration ! Republicans are stirring, distancing themselves from the toxic Tea extremist. Bob Dole on Fox news was asked Could people like Bob Dole even Ronald Reagan, make it in todays republican party? Bob replies I doubt it. Reagan wouldnt have made it. Certainly Nixon wouldnt have made it- because he had ideas. Goes on to say They ought to put a sign on the Republican National Committee door that says CLOSED FOR REPAIRE ! As early as September 2011 Mike Lofgren ,staff member for both republican House and Senate Budget Committee of 16 years, wrote on the liberal website, TRUTH OUT. The republican party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological AuthoStandard and one of the original architects of the bomb-throwing right, that jumped ship 7 months ago:Rotarian parties of 20th century Europe. Editor of the Weekly Bill Kristol express his disenchantment with the conservative party. Considers them deep disarray. Bill is reminded of Eric Hoffers remark on the failing republican party,Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket. Fractures, rifts have been illuminated with the corrosive effects of the Teas fluid extreme erosions properties. The Chasm widens. |

Judged: 1 California is on the list for Democrat failure along with: Detroit , MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954; Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...since 1984; Cleveland , OH (4th)...since 1989; Miami , FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor; St. Louis , MO (6th)....since 1949; El Paso , TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor; Milwaukee , WI (8th)...since 1908; Philadelphia , PA (9th)...since 1952; Newark , NJ (10th)...since 1907. |
Judged: 1 1 "To summarize, we expect ... more bankruptcy filings and bond defaults among California cities reflecting the increased risk to bondholders as investors are asked to contribute to plans for closing budget gaps," the report said. It noted that the municipal bond market has long been characterized by low default rates and relatively stable finances, an outlook that is beginning to change as bankruptcy becomes a tool for cash-strapped cities. That requires Moody's to reassess the financial position of all California cities "to reflect the new fiscal realities and the governmental practices." The report also noted the potential for ratings downgrades to fiscally distressed cities, counties, school districts and special districts throughout the state. Lower bond ratings will increase borrowing costs for those entities at a time when many of them are struggling financially because of a steep drop in tax revenue. "In the current environment, as more municipalities approach the economic or political limit to raising taxes or adjusting spending, we expect an increase in defaults and bankruptcies over the next few years," the report said." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-574956... |
Judged: 1 Today, Detroit leads Forbes magazines list of most miserable cities. Its the fourth-worst run, according to Money magazine. Its second in violent crime, third in murders. Nearly half of Detroiters of working age are unemployed. The population of Detroit has fallen by more than half, to 706,585. Its now the size it was in 1910. Median household income is barely half the U.S. average ($27,862 vs.$51,413). The average price of a house in Detroit is just $16,800, by far the lowest in the country. There are a couple of smaller cities which, arguably, are in even worse shape. But no city has fallen so far, so fast. Some decline was inevitable because the world of 1950 was uniquely beneficial to Detroit. The most important industry at that time was the automobile industry, and because Europe and Japan were still rebuilding from the devastation of World War II, Detroit had a virtual monopoly. Detroit had been the heart of the arsenal of democracy and had a more skilled labor force than any other city on the planet. The U.S. auto industry tumbled from its lofty perch in the 1970s, in part because by then Europe and Japan could offer serious competition. The Arab oil embargo after the 1973 Yom Kippur War sparked for the first time the interest of Americans in smaller cars, which the Germans and Japanese were building, but Detroit was not. But most wounds were self-inflicted. Cars built by GM, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors cost more and were less reliable than cars built in Germany and Japan. Chiefly responsible were the contracts won by the United Auto Workers, then Americas most powerful union. It wasnt so much the lavish pay and benefits as the featherbedding work rules which guaranteed cars built in Michigan would cost more and break down more often than cars built elsewhere. The auto industry has bounced back some. Several Ford and GM sedans are now rated as more reliable than the imports with which they compete. But Detroits decline has accelerated. Thats because for half a century, Detroit has been governed by the policies President Obama advocates.(Detroits last Republican mayor was Louis Miriani, who left office in 1962.)" |
Judged: 1 1 1 A large and expensive public work force but deteriorating public services. Detroit in 2011 had 12,900 city employees, one for every 55 residents. Of the cities closest to Detroit in population, Columbus, Ohio, had one city employee for every 95 residents; Charlotte, N.C., had one for every 109; Fort Worth had one for every 118 residents. Schools stink, buses are late and infrastructure deteriorates because Democratic politicians depend on public employee unions for votes and campaign contributions. So they hire as many public employees as they can, overpay them and dont require them to do much. High taxes. Despite an average home price barely more than a tenth that of the next lowest city, Detroit has the highest property taxes in the country, according to a 2011 study. When all city levies are included, Detroit had the ninth-highest taxes. Because median income is so low, the tax burden on Detroiters is heavier than these data indicate. High property taxes have spurred tax evasion on a mammoth scale half of Detroiters dont pay their property tax bills and flight to the suburbs. Massive debt. Detroits long- term debt is $14 billion, equivalent to nearly a third of what the city collects in taxes. Detroits finances are in such bad shape that last week Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder appointed an emergency manager to restructure them. Democrats emphasize redistribution of wealth. Before wealth can be redistributed, it must be created. Liberal policies destroy wealth. Those who suffer most are precisely those Democrats say theyre helping. In the Detroit of 1950 when no city in the world was creating more wealth the poor and the middle class were far better off. Jack Kelly is a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Blade of Toledo, Ohio." |
All of this is interesting but what is your point. Detroit is in Michigan which is headed by Snyder a Tea {R} governor that has little to nothing and even obstruct Detroits efforts to get their act together. Now you havent forgotten the Bushwhacking episodes that made Detroit a ghost town. Miami never had a {R} Mayor and your point? Are you trying to use the separate and divide conquer, tactics of the republicans. LOL look how well that worked for them. Now they are spiraling down and out in fragments. Be careful when you are using speculative articles as to what might be in California or any where else. How many times they were off the mark? CBS as any speculator do not have the crystal ball. I know this because I have it . LOL |
LOL you make derogatory remark on liberalism and then cut and paste what the conservatives swamped this nation, with their deregulated capitalist fiasco economy. What are you hinting? You want to go back and defend the conservatives failed policies on democratic capitalist economy. Do try to focus on just what your trying to accomplish. Your drifting like a Defiant Tex. Emulating an intoxicated Tea partier. Stumbling all about with incoherence as their guide. |
Ho, ho Have you guys noticed we are being infected with some dating service advertisements? LOL Can you imagine what their clientele is like? That they have to resort these tactics. Reminds me of the Islamic promise of the Seven Virgins to their callow naive suicide bombers. Suspect those virgins must be pretty bad shape, to be an inexperienced sexual partner at their age. Ha, ha and yet there the uneducated naives will give their lives for the chance.
LOL wonder how many naïve callow individuals we have on this thread. Hey maybe this could be beneficial. Yeah,,, help to get rid of some of our loose thread weavers. |
Oh well. Now thats a deep subject.
.No we will not go to the well today we will explore how the price of inequality is produced and fed to the herd.
.Wall Mart Demands Inequality.. How do they do it? Here is one example of how inequality is promoted. Location Washington. 1} Get A politician; Mayor Vincent C Gray worked very hard to get Walmart to come to town. His city council was not as receptive. City Council will force large profitable stores of $1 Billion more in profits to share their wealth with their laborers. Minimum wage of $8.25 would be adjusted to $12.50 per hour. Walmart threatens to shut down 6 of their planned construction sites for their Walmarts expansions. 2} Testimony from desperate unemployed; Those big people in government, they dont understand my situation, said Fred Reaves, 45, who is unemployed and said he would gladly take a job at the current city minimum,$8.25. Mr. Reaves goes on to say Eight-something, itll motivate you to start going to work,You can start paying some bills. It will help you to come off public assistance. A one chair barber said he would not hesitate to demand his daughter to get a job at Walmart at the lower wage. 3} Seek area with tax luring benefits; Councilman Mr. Orange opposes Walmart . What was once desperate times, seeking to lure businesses to the area is no longer the case. Minimum wage of $8.25 will no longer support a basic living standard within the cities booming growth it is experiencing. Walmart promotes improvised conditions for their laborers that are require to seek subsidized living benefits, food stamps, welfare, etc., within a city that has advancing faster than the minimum wage can afford. Mr. Orange cites the 2012 ,$469 Billion revenue, with a $17 Billion profit margin of Walmart. Lure that attracted Walmart is decades old and is now open to reform and negotiations. 4} Rally support; Mayor Gray vows to veto the Councils negotiations with Walmart. The desperately improvised are paraded in the media. Suppressing the local businesses voices for leveling the playing field and the local officials that warn of the consequences of having their citizens mired in the poverty that is produced by Walmarts low income pay for laborers. Eligibility of the improvised to be eligible for Medicaid , food stamps and housing assistance. Essentially taxpayers will be subsidizing the Walmarts poverty promoting tactics. A sliver of enlightenment is demonstrated by Willie Ford, 39, a carpenter, scoffed at the notion that Walmart could not afford to pay $12.50.Come on, theyre going to make beaucoup money from this area, Mr. Orange councilman says they are negotiating from a position of strength . Denying inroads of Walmarts efforts, to another large city to promote their poverty policies. |

Your State Tax Extension Rules, From Hawaii Through Maryland
By Elizabeth Rosen
NEW YORK (IRS.com) — Do you need to file a state income tax extension? While it's fairly simple and streamlined to file a federal tax extension, state extensions vary depending on where you live. Because of this, we've compiled a list of where to go for each state if you need a little bit more time on your taxes. (For the first part of this list, covering Alabama through Florida, click here.)
The state of Hawaii will grant you an automatic six-month tax extension if you cannot meet the filing deadline for your state income tax return. You do not need to file anything with the Hawaii Department of Taxation to get a tax extension unless you owe state income tax.
Related Articles
Hawaii state tax extensions are granted automatically unless an additional tax payment is owed.
You are deemed to have an approved Hawaii tax extension as long as the following four conditions are met:
- 100% of your properly estimated state tax liability is paid by April 20
- Your state tax return is filed within the six-month extension period
- You include full payment for any tax (not already paid) with your state tax return
- You are not bound by court order to file a state tax return on or before the given deadline
If you have to make a state income tax payment by April 20 to satisfy the first condition above (requiring 100% payment of your estimated tax liability), submit Hawaii Tax Form N-101A (Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Hawaii Individual Income Tax Return) with your payment to the Hawaii Department of Taxation. Form N-101A should only be used if you are requesting a state tax extension and you are making a tax payment for the balance due with the filing of Hawaii Tax Form N-11, N-13, or N-15.

NAPLES — After five games and nearly 12 hours of basketball, the best was saved for last, literally, Saturday at the second annual Lee/Collier Basketball Bash at Lely High.
Trojans senior forward Nesly Olbrice nailed a 3-point shot at the buzzer to lift Lely, 56-54, over Fort Myers to end the day's fifth and final game between Lee and Collier County schools.
Nick Talko (26 points)scored on a layup with 31 seconds remaining in the game to bring the Trojans within 54-53. The Green Wave's Rodney Caster missed the front end of a one-and-one and Lely grabbed the rebound and called a timeout. The Trojans inbounded the ball at halfcourt with 20 seconds to go.
Trojans coach Ryan Bowen designed a play for Talko to take the last shot. With the seconds ticking away, Talko kicked the ball out to Olbrice on the left sideline.
Olbrice tried to make a move, looked at the clock, pulled up and let the ball fly. Swish. Ballgame.
"I saw I had it all the time," said Olbrice, who had 13 points in the victory. It was his second buzzer beater of the year. Earlier in the season, Obrice stunned Gulf Coast with no time remaining.
"I don't even let Olbrice take that shot in practice," said Bowen, whose team improved to 8-8. "That (win) was a big one right there. Our kids needed a big win to believe in what we're trying to do."
Despite the Lely win, the Lee County teams ended the day with a 3-2 win advantage. Cape Coral defeated Community School to start off the event. Riverdale then routed Golden Gate in the second game. Mariner got the best of Gulf Coast 55-53 to give Lee a 3-0 advantage.
Barron Collier got Collier County on the board when the Cougars eventually ran away with a 58-40 victory over a game South Fort Myers.
Barron (11-3) led by two points after the first quarter, then Deion Clark took over. The 6-foot-4 senior, who has committed to Old Dominion, scored 10 points in the second quarter as Barron went on a 12-0 run going into intermission.
The Wolfpack closed within 33-29 in the third before Barron went on another 12-0 run at the end of the period to put the game away.
Clark led all scorers with 25 points. Jack Kelly led the 2-10 Wolfpack with 10 points.

Researchers identified a specific breast cancer bone metastasis-supporting gene
Tracking breast cancer cells on the move
- Date : 19 Jun 2012
- Topic : Breast cancer
In this week's Journal of Biological Chemistry"Paper of the Week," Roger Gomis and colleagues at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona, Spain investigated how breast cancer cells migrate to bone. In particular, they examined the role of NOG, a gene important to proper bone development. Previously, NOG was associated with bone metastasis in prostate cancer, but its specific role in breast cancer to bone metastasis remained unknown.
Metastasis requires numerous biological functions that jointly provide tumour cells from a primary site to seed and colonise a distant organ
In their paper, Gomis and colleagues provide molecular evidence showing that the BMP inhibitor, NOG, provide metastatic breast cancer cells with the ability to colonize the bone. NOG expression is acquired during the late events of metastasis, once cells have departed from the primary site, since it is not enriched in primary tumours with high risk of bone relapse. Contrary, breast cancer bone metastatic lesions do select for high levels of NOG expression compared to metastasis to the lung, liver and brain.
The study researchers showed that once breast cancer cells are on the move NOG enables them to specifically invade the bone. Using genetic approaches, they showed that when NOG is expressed in human breast cancer cells facilitates bone colonisation by fostering osteoclast differentiation, bone degradation and also contributes to metastatic lesions re-initiation.
According to the researchers, the reason why NOG expression leads to an increased potential for breast cancer to bone metastasis is because it not only affects features inherent to aggressive cancer cells (such as the ability to establish a new tumour) but also influences properties of the bone environment (such as osteoclast degeneration of bone).
These findings reveal how aggressive cancer cell autonomous and non-autonomous functions can be mechanistically coupled to greater bone metastatic potential. Expression of NOG in breast metastatic cancer cells provides them with bone colonisation capabilities. The interplay of bone microenvironment and cancer cell autonomous functions defines the selection of genes that lead to bone metastasis development.

This brew pours a reddish color with a small off white head. The head dissipates quickly however moderate lacing remains on the glass until the end.
The smell is heavy on spices, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, orange peels and wheat.
The taste follows the nose, cinnamon and the other spices hit first then and orange taste comes in followed by a wheat like taste then finishing with peppery hops. Everything is well balanced.
The mouthfeel is crisp and spicy, there is a good amount of carbonation. A small amount of hop oil remains on the tongue after swallowing.
Overall this is a very well balanced brew. Although this is billed as a Spiced Beer, and it is, the spices, along with the high, (10.5%) alcohol content make it a good choice for a winter warmer.

Picked this up in Totowa this past weekend, as it was the last one in stock and seemingly different than what else was new on the shelf this year. Indeed it was, but it there was a bit too much going on here to truly be enjoyable. Yes, it was strong, spicy, and Belgian-inspired but with that being said, it took a while to take everything in and enjoy. The carbonation was high too but in this case, that was good as it ensured that the flavors didn't stick around too long during each sip. Even though this was listed as a herbed/spiced beer, it wasn't that far away from being a Trippel, once the sweetness was taken into consideration!
The pour to this was a hazelnut brown with a pretty fluffy head that quickly settled. Not a lot of lacing here as what little stuck to the side slid after each sip slowly slide down the side of my pint glass. Lots of brown sugar and yeast to the nose and even more of it in the taste, a hint of ginger thrown in for good measure. The cinnamon took a while to kick in but it was there and complemented the ginger nicely. Not a lot of hops to this and even less body, as this was quite thin. The yeast wore off quickly and what was left was some faint candied cherry and as the brown sugar and ginger stuck around in the aftertaste, with just a hint of toffee-like stickiness thrown in for good measure.
Lots of booze here, which was a bit of a detriment to this beer. It felt strong and certainly put the "warmer" into this stylistically. While this was enjoyable, there wasn't a lot here that made this stand out and one would certainly be enough for a sitting. The spices weren't overwhelming like in a Wassail and on a cold Winter's night, this would be a fair choice, even without any accompanying food. The sweetness makes this more than a dessert unto itself.

Last Friday was the first snow storm of the season. Like a lot of folks, my wife Diane and I left work early, trying to beat the storm, but we were too late, as snow and ice already covered the roadways. We had planned earlier to go to the Chicken House for dinner, but that was looking unlikely.
Fortunately our car negotiates the ice and snow pretty well. I'd like to take credit for the decision to get an all-wheel drive vehicle, but it was really Diane's insistence on getting a car that was red in color, that resulted in us getting this one. The all-wheel drive works so well, that we were feeling cocky as we left work and decided to drive out to the Chicken House anyway. We made it there just as they were about to close due to the weather. Luckily we were able to order some fried chicken to-go. On the way home we heard that a state of emergency had been officially declared for Floyd County. I told Diane that we had an emergency of sorts — only it was a "fried chicken emergency."
Later the News and Tribune reported that there were a number of weather-related accidents, but fortunately, no serious injuries. Along major thoroughfares, the Indiana State Police recounted that there were six crashes involving minor injuries, 20 cases of property damage, 38 slide-offs, but no incidents involving fried chicken.
Growing up in Illinois my father always kept a bucket of furnace clinkers in the trunk of his car in the winter, along with a small shovel. A clinker is the residue left after a coal fire. My father would shovel this stuff under his tires for traction. Other folks use sand for this purpose, but the true winter connoisseur preferrs clinkers.
He would also put concrete blocks in the trunk, one over each rear tire for traction. On very cold nights he'd run an extension cord from the garage so that he could put an electric light bulb under the hood to keep the car's motor warm. We should have done that a couple of weeks ago, when we visited relatives in Wisconsin and the unseasonably cold weather destroyed our battery.
Poor weather conditions are associated with more than 1.5 million vehicular crashes in the United States each year. More than 7,000 Americans are killed annually and the cost is more than $42 billion. Poor weather is seen in over a quarter of all vehicular crashes and one in five highway fatalities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that people are 36 percent more likely to be in an accident in January than July.
According to the icyroadsafety.com website, Southern Indiana falls in the moderate risk zone for winter accidents, while the area north of Indianapolis lies in the high risk zone. In the winter of 2008-2009, Indiana had the unwanted distinction of being the most deadly icy road state in the country with 50 fatalities.
In 2005 Daniel Eisenberg from the University of California and Kenneth Warner from the University of Michigan published an definitive article in the American Journal of Public Health that analyzed the effects of snowfall on driving accidents over a 25-year period. They found that snowy days had 7 percent fewer fatal crashes than dry days, but 23 percent more nonfatal-injury crashes, and 45 percent more crashes involving property damage.
Although snow generally makes driving more dangerous, by "reducing tire adherence" and limiting visibility, this is offset, to some degree, by people driving slower and more carefully. Also many folks refrain from driving in such conditions. They concluded that "the weight of the evidence suggests that less severe crashes (those producing only property damage) increase during snows, while more severe crashes (those resulting in fatalities) decrease."
The first snowfall of the year, however, is an exception and is usually more dangerous than other snowy days in regard to fatalities. First snowfalls often catch people unprepared to implement protective strategies. This is especially true in areas that get little snowfall. We once drove through Atlanta during a snow storm and drivers had a terrible time learning to adjust their speed to the slippery road conditions and run-offs littered the highway.
Elderly drivers typically have a lot of trouble with first snowfalls, including a higher fatality rate and an increased accident rate, which is almost three times the rate for younger drivers. Eisenberg and Warner believe that drivers over 65 years in age may have more difficulty adjusting their driving behavior to match road conditions. They also may not curtail their driving during the first snowfall, as much as they do later in the season.
The following winter driving tips are adapted from a suggestion from Weather.com, the National Safety Council, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and the state of Washington.
• Avoid unnecessary trips and wait until the snow plows have had a chance to clear the roads. Never try to pass a snow plow.
• Reduce your speed to the point where you can maintain control of the vehicle. Allow for additional driving time and increase your estimated stopping distances and spacing at least threefold.
• Keep headlights on to increase visibility and keep them, as well as the windshield, clean.
• Use low gears to increase traction on hills and don't use the cruise control.
• Watch out for icy spots on bridges, overpasses, and little used roads.
• Check tire pressure frequently and adjust as necessary to improve traction.
• Consider using snow tires, studded tires, or chains. All are legal in Kentucky and Indiana during the winter months.
• If you get stuck, don't spin your wheels. Turn the steering wheel from side to side to push snow out of the way. Clear snow from the wheel pathway with a shovel and sprinkle with sand or salt and then ease your car out. Try rocking the vehicle by shifting from forward to reverse, and back again. Check your owner's manual first to avoid transmission damage.
• In a skid situation, look in the direction that you want your front wheels to go and steer in that direction. If rear wheels are sliding left, steer left. If they're sliding right, steer right. Most newer vehicles have anti-lock brakes which will enable you to maintain control of steering without pumping the brakes. If you feel the brakes pulsing, the anti-lock feature is working.
Finally be aware that while having four-wheel drive may help you get through the snow, it does nothing to help you stop, which is the most important thing when it comes to avoiding collisions. I'll have to remember that, the next time I have a fried chicken monkey on my back.

26 October 2009
The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes has called for more attention to the effects of climate change on the lives of ordinary people who are are increasingly finding it difficult to grow food and ensure their stable livelihood. (..) whereas droughts used to occur every 10 years, narrowing to every five over the past 20 years, there have now been four consecutive years of drought and/or poor rainfalls. In January, the UN WFP launched an emergency operation to feed more than 970,000 people in Karamoja, 90 per cent of the total.
24 October 2009
Masindi farmers earned sh90m after selling 100 tonnes of maize grain to the World Food Programme under the Warehouse Receipt System. "They earned a premium price of sh795 per kilogramme as opposed to the farm gate prices, which at the time stood at sh525," said Christian Baine, the CORONET managing director. (..) Baine said through the system, farmers were able to keep sufficient quantities, which were also of the right quality to attract big buyers like the World Food Programme.
14 October 2009
The number of hungry people in Uganda has risen sharply in the last 15 years, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) announced in a statement ahead of World Food Day today. (..) World Food Programme in a separate statement said there was no cause for celebrations. "World Food Day is actually No Food Day for almost one out of every six people around the world this year," said WFP boss Josette Sheeran.
13 October 2009
Maize is one of the major cash and food crops in Uganda. (..) Toady, posho is the stable food for students in over 2,000 boarding schools across the country and a large percentage of maize is sold to the World Food Programme (WFP).
13 October 2009
In the run up to the World Food Day tomorrow, October 16, Paul Busharizi, spoke to the the World Food Programme (WFP) country director, Stanlake Samkange, about Purchase for Progress, a new WFP initiative poised to make Ugandan small-holder farmers major players in the regional quality grain market.
13 October 2009
Last week, the Uganda National Teachers' Union called on the Ugandan government to provide meals for the millions of schoolchildren who go to school hungry. (..) Primary schools are now receiving rations for pupils from the World Food Programme to counter the effects of the recent drought, but this won't last forever.
13 October 2009
A new report from the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWSNET) indicates that households in the Karamoja region will soon start to experience a considerable level of food security as a result of the ongoing heavy rains in the region. (..) The UN World Food Programme (WFP) earlier indicated that it required new resources to avert pipeline shortfalls of 41,288 metric tones of food worth about ($36 million) to support the people in the region up to December 2009.
5 October 2009
At least 2 million Ugandans are threatened with severe hunger and malnutrition following droughts across east Africa, according to aid agency Oxfam.
It said the food shortages constituted the "worst humanitarian crisis Oxfam has seen in east Africa for over 10 years".
Paul Smith Lomas, Oxfam's east Africa director, said: "Many are selling their cattle to buy food. In northern Uganda farmers have lost half their crops and more than 2 million people across the country desperately need aid."
More than 1 million people in Uganda's Karamoja region now rely on food aid from the World Food Programme.
28 September 2009
The WFP has raised concerns about the succession of poor rainy seasons in Uganda which have left more than two million people in need of urgent food assistance. In a statement today, the WFP reported that in the northeastern province of Karamoja, the situation is so severe that the agency had worked with the government to expand operations to reach more than 1.1 million people - over 90 percent of the population - with life-saving food rations.
23 September 2009
THE number of people dependent on hand-outs in the country has doubled in some areas amid reports of persistent crop failure and adverse effects of climate change. (..) FAO�s warning comes at a time when the World Food Programme says it is currently $4.1b short of its 2009 budget, which risks affecting its programmes in Uganda and East Africa.
