CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- More than 650 people crowded into the Little Theater at the Charleston Civic Center on Monday morning in their effort to mediate more than 700 lawsuits filed against A.T. Massey Coal Co., now called Massey Energy.
Many brought bottles of orange- and brown-colored contaminated water that came from their wells in Mingo County.
Residents and former residents from Rawl, Lick Creek, Merrimac and Sprigg believe their drinking water was polluted by a coal slurry plant operated by Rawl Sales and Processing, a Massey subsidiary, beginning in the mid-1980s.
Billy Ray Miller, of Rawl, held up a Mason jar filled with bright orange water he got from the well in his back yard.
"I drank it for 25 years. I made Kool-Aid, lemonade and baby milk from it. Today, I have kidney stones," Miller said.
"I like to fish in the Tug River. But when you did catch fish, they had sores and slimy stuff on them."
Miller, 52, worked mines for 24 years owned by U.S. Steel and Pittston Coal.
Bruce Stanley, a lawyer with Reed Smith in Pittsburgh, represents many of the plaintiffs.
"A lot of other people were unable to come today because they were physically unable to be here. Many are bedridden. Others could not come because they are serving in the military or had to go to work today," Stanley said.
Massey did not return a telephone call to its "media hotline" about this week's mediation efforts.
Stanley and other plaintiff lawyers tried to file a class-action lawsuit in Mingo County, where all plaintiffs would be part of one suit.
After Mingo County Judge Michael Thornsbury refused to allow that, about 700 individual suits were filed.
During a meeting also open to the public, Mercer County Circuit Judge Derek C. Swope told plaintiffs and lawyers, "Mediation is a confidential matter. It is a voluntary attempt to resolve issues."
Swope said the slurry litigation suits "could potentially go on for years if we do not resolve this here."
Taylor County Judge Alan D. Moats said the West Virginia Supreme Court created "mass litigation panels" back in the mid-1980s.
"The number of people in these cases makes it very difficult for one just to handle it. ... It was assigned to the Mass Litigation Panel by Justice Robin Jean Davis last spring."

Recipe by SAUNDRA
"As far as I know this is the original recipe for Navajo Bread. It's is great with honey and butter. The Navajo's put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce and beans on it, and call them Nava Tacos."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups oil for frying
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons salt
2 1/2 cups warm milk
Another good fry bread recipe! Only thing though, you might want to edit the salt. Two tablespoons is -alot- of salt. I only used about 1 or 2 teaspoons last time I made this. Other than that it is good! Mine always seem to come out a little small, haha! ^-^
dear staff as a real navajo fried bread eater i think someone goof..typo error...instead of 2 tablespoon of salt..try..2 teaspoon of salt..this is definately too salty...or in my opinion i go for 1 teaspoon of salt. Other than that i think it will be fine.

This recipe was not so good. There was too much salt and too much liquid. I found a different recipe on the net and tried it and it was perfect. It was much like this one but with less than 1/2 the salt and not so much liquid. If you cut down on the salt and liquid, this actually turns out well. Perhaps there was a typo in this recipe.
My Navajo adopted mother taught me to make Fry Bread with 3 cups flour, 1 cup water, 1 tsp Baking Powder. Because most Navajo would not have access to milk and most frying is done in an open pit or on a wood stove, the recipe is a very simple flat bread that is fried. It is the topping that makes the meal.
This is the recipe I have been looking for. I did reduce the salt as was advised by others. Will make this again. Thanks!!!
Way too much salt! Cut it down and you will get a wonderful fry bread and you can use it for anything. I'll be making it again.
This is a "family size" recipe that makes a lot of fry bread. I would 1/2 it or even 1/3 it for two people. I found the dough to be far too sticky to pat out into individual servings. Next time I will add less milk and roll out the dough to make it thin enough to make tacos. It tasted good, but needs modifications to our taste.
I believe the amount of salt is not correct, maybe cut down to 2 teaspoons. Very salty otherwise!!!

Some of you may recall the custom fuel tank I had built for my 1st gen Tacoma.
I just spent some time on the phone talking with this guy, his name is Mike btw. Mike doesn't do this for a living, rather as a hobby and on the side. However he can build just about anything out of SS or aluminum, he tig welds it all.
The tank pictured above cost me $500. So I think his prices are very reasonable. He is willing to build stuff for whomever. Thing is you can't be in a big hurry as he does this in his spare time. You also are going to have to do some work yourself, such as building a cardboard template if you say wanted a fuel tank. You also will pay shipping, Mike is in Eastern Idaho.
I am not making any money on this, just helping people out. If you want something built feel free to pm me and I will either put you in touch with Mike or pass it on to him.

Beyond the basic I18N functions, like supporting various input encodings or supporting national conventions, such as the different decimal separators, at a higher level of I18N, it is possible to localize the messages written to the output by the various programs. A common way of doing this is using the POSIX.1 NLS functions, which are provided as a part of the FreeBSD base system.
POSIX.1 NLS is based on catalog files, which contain the
localized messages in the desired encoding. The messages are
organized into sets and each message is identified by an integer
number in the containing set. The catalog files are conventionally
named after the locale they contain localized messages for, followed
by the .msg
extension. For instance, the
Hungarian messages for ISO8859-2 encoding should be stored in a file
called hu_HU.ISO8859-2
These catalog files are common text files that contain the
numbered messages. It is possible to write comments by starting
the line with a $
sign. Set boundaries are also separated by
special comments, where the keyword set
directly follow the $
sign. The set
is then followed by the set number. For example:
The actual message entries start with the message number and followed by the localized message. The well-known modifiers from printf(3) are accepted:
The language catalog files have to be compiled into a binary form before they can be opened from the program. This conversion is done with the gencat(1) utility. Its first argument is the filename of the compiled catalog and its further arguments are the input catalogs. The localized messages can also be organized into more catalog files and then all of them can be processed with gencat(1).
Using the catalog files is simple. To use
the related functions, nl_types.h
must be included. Before
using a catalog, it has to be opened with catopen(3).
The function takes two arguments. The first parameter is the name of the
installed and compiled catalog. Usually, the name of the
program is used, such as grep.
This name will be used when looking for the compiled
catalog file. The catopen(3) call looks for this file
in /usr/share/nls/locale/catname
and in /usr/local/share/nls/locale/catname
where locale
is the locale set and
is the catalog name being
discussed. The second parameter is a constant, which can have
two values:
, which means that
the used catalog file will be based on
, which means that
has to be used to open
the proper catalog.
The catopen(3) call returns a catalog identifier of
type nl_catd
. Please refer to the manual page for a list of possible returned error
After opening a catalog catgets(3) can be used to retrieve a message. The first parameter is the catalog identifier returned by catopen(3), the second one is the number of the set, the third one is the number of the messages, and the fourth one is a fallback message, which will be returned if the requested message cannot be retrieved from the catalog file.
After using the catalog file, it must be closed by calling catclose(3), which has one argument, the catalog id.
The following example will demonstrate an easy solution on how to use NLS catalogs in a flexible way.
The below lines need to be put into a common header file of the program, which is included into all source files where localized messages are necessary:
Next, put these lines into the global declaration part of the main source file:
Next come the real code snippets, which open, read, and close the catalog:
There is a good way of reducing the strings that need to be localized by using libc error messages. This is also useful to just avoid duplication and provide consistent error messages for the common errors that can be encountered by a great many of programs.
First, here is an example that does not use libc error messages:
This can be transformed to print an error message by
reading errno
and printing an error message
In this example, the custom string is eliminated, thus
translators will have less work when localizing the program
and users will see the usual "Not a directory"
error message when they encounter this error. This message
will probably seem more familiar to them. Please note that
it was necessary to include errno.h
in order to directly
access errno
It is worth to note that there are cases when
is set automatically by a preceding
call, so it is not necessary to set it explicitly:
Using the catalog files requires few repeatable steps,
such as compiling the catalogs and installing them to the
proper location. In order to simplify this process even
more, bsd.nls.mk
introduces some macros.
It is not necessary to include bsd.nls.mk
explicitly, it is pulled in from the common Makefiles,
such as bsd.prog.mk
Usually it is enough to define NLSNAME
which should have the catalog name mentioned as the first
argument of catopen(3) and list the catalog files in
without their .msg
extension. Here is an example, which makes it possible to
to disable NLS when used with the code examples before.
The WITHOUT_NLS
make(1) variable has
to be defined in order to build the program without NLS
Conventionally, the catalog files are placed under the
subdirectory and
this is the default behaviour of bsd.nls.mk
It is possible, though to override the location of the
catalogs with the NLSSRCDIR
variable. The default name of the precompiled catalog files
also follow the naming convention mentioned before. It can be
overridden by setting the NLSNAME
There are other options to fine tune the processing of the catalog
files but usually it is not needed, thus they are not described
here. For further information on bsd.nls.mk
please refer to the file itself, it is short and easy to

Limitations of Chromosome Classification by Multicolor Karyotyping The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 68, Issue 4, 1 April 2001, Pages 1043-1047 Charles Lee, David Gisselsson, Charlotte Jin, Ann Nordgren, David O. Ferguson, Elisabeth Blennow, Jonathan A. Fletcher and Cynthia C. Morton Abstract Multicolor karyotyping technologies, such as spectral karyotyping (SKY) (Schröck et al. 1996; Liyanage et al. 1996) and multiplex (M-) FISH (Speicher et al. 1996), have proved to be extremely useful in prenatal, postnatal, and cancer cytogenetics. However, these technologies have inherent limitations that, in certain situations, may result in chromosomal misclassification. In this report, we present nine cases, which fall into five categories, in which multicolor karyotyping has produced erroneous interpretations. Most errors appear to have a similar mechanistic basis.

Use of caged fluorochromes to track macromolecular movement in living cells Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 9, Issue 7, 1 July 1999, Pages 284-287 Joan C Politz Abstract One way to visualize and track the movement of macromolecules in the living cell is to follow their movement after tagging the molecule with a 'caged' or chemically masked fluorochrome. The fluorochrome does not fluoresce until the caging group is released by spot photoactivation, and the bright fluorescent signal can then be tracked as it moves into the dark surrounding area of the cell. When coupled with rapid imaging microscopy, it is possible to measure rates of movement as fast as macromolecular diffusion. This article describes the use of photoactivatable fluorochromes to track the intracellular movement of both proteins and nucleic acids and to track cell lineages.

The rapid spread of the use of new 24-color karyotyping techniques has preceded their standardization. This is best documented by the fact that the exact resolution limits have not yet been defined. Indeed, it is shown here that a substantial proportion of interchromosomal aberrations will be missed by all multicolor karyotyping systems currently in use. We demonstrate that both the sensitivity and the specificity of 24-color karyotyping critically depend on the fluorochrome composition of chromosomes involved in an interchromosomal rearrangement. As a solution, we introduce a conceptual change in probe labeling. Seven-fluorochrome sets that overcome many of the current limitations are described, and examples of their applications are shown. The criteria presented here for an optimized probe-set design and for the estimation of resolution limits should have important consequences for pre- and postnatal diagnostics and for research applications.

Flannel Hot Water Bottle Cover
Not just for water bottles
I purchased this water bottle cover for its plaid, not for a water bottle. In fact, I don't intend it to ever be used for its' named purpose. I am a magician and from a family of Scottish ancestry, and I intend to use it as part of a "bagpipe" gag, then "dismantle" it and use the parts for a magic effect. The cover saves me a lot of time and trouble forming the "bagpipe", and I am staying on your mailing list because there are other items you carry that can also be useful in ways limited only by imagination.

It lets the warmth radiate out
I have used and given away at least 75 of these over a 10 year time period. Your Rubber hot water bottles are excellent as well and fit this cover perfectly. With this cover you slip the bottle in from the middle slot and the 1st time it is a bit tricky but once in place you do not need to take it off till you want to launder it. You fill and empty with the cover on as there is a convenient opening at the top to do this. The covers are very well made and since they are a cotton flannel it lets the heat radiate and still be cozy. I can not say enough good things about the quality and usefulness of this item. I am putting in another big order today to use as Christmas gifts since everyone that sees it wants one of their own.
September 30, 2013
Pretty but awful
I could barley get the bottle in while it was empty. You have to slide the bottle in from the bottom.
Are you suppose to put it in then fill it up with hot water??? I don't think so. The other more expensive one might be more practical. Will cut this one up to make it usable.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced it's 2013 nominees earlier this week. Artists including Heart, Deep Purple, and Rush are all hopefuls for this year's prestigious honor. In the past, voting has been exclusive to professionals in the industry to the dissatisfaction of many music fans. Both influential and popular artists have been snubbed for nominations and inductions. Donna Summer (a nomination for this year) has been nominated seven times without induction. Cat Stevens, who has been eligible for induction for twenty-one years, has only been nominated once.
To change this criticism, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has changed the voting process. For the first time, the organization is allowing fan voting. The voting will take place until December 3, when the five artists with the most votes will be considered as a "fan's ballot" that will be counted for alongside the other voters. While this probably won't solve the problems like artists not getting nominated for years, or less popular influential artists getting inducted like Kraftwerk (a 2013 nomination), I know as a fan of Rock and Roll that it is nice to finally have my opinion heard.
Above is a video summary released by the organization of all the 2013 Hall of Fame nominees.

Larder beetle (Dermestes lardarius)
Larder beetle
Dermestes lardarius)
The Larder beetle is a common pest of hides and other animal products including dried meats, cheese, feathers, hair, horns and skin, and other foods with a high protein content especially dog or cat food. This beetle is also found in bird nests, animal remains, and bee and wasp nests. The adult beetle is just under 3/8 of an inch long and dark colored with a pale yellow band across the center of the beetle. The grub or larva is dark brown and very hairy in appearance with 2 curved dorsal spines on the tail end. In Michigan, there is one generation per year with the eggs being laid in the spring and early summer. The larvae are known to burrow into wood to construct chambers in which to pupate. We have some reports of structural damage to hen houses because of this behavior. The first step in larder beetle control is to locate and dispose of all infested material. This may be difficult or next to impossible if the beetles are feeding on dead insects in wall voids and other hidden sites. After the infested material is removed, the immediate area should be sprayed with a persistent insecticide labeled for indoor use such cyfluthrin (sold as Bayer
Advanced Home Insect Control for homeowners or Tempo for commercial applicators) or one of the Ortho
products. When they are found in cupboards, all food material should be inspected and discarded if infested.
Be sure to read and follow all instructions and safety precautions found on the label before using any pesticide.

Planned furloughs at NOAA could leave the agency effectively shuttered for four days during the summer storm season.
The summer forecast for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration includes a chance of furlough.
A hiring freeze in March and a budget boost of $200 million for NOAA in the proposed fiscal 2014 budget does not appear to be enough to keep the agency from proposing four furlough days in an employee-wide email message on April 15.
In the message, acting Administrator Kathryn Sullivan told employees the agency was in discussions with labor unions that represent NOAA employees and said the current proposal is to essentially shut down all but mission-critical offices on four days: July 5, July 19, Aug. 5 and Aug. 30.
In the message, which was posted on the Weather Underground blog, Sullivan said sequestration's automatic 8.2 percent across-the-board cuts created fiscal challenges the agency could not otherwise overcome, and she expressed concern about having the proposed furlough days come during hurricane season.
"For NOAA employees who are engaged in 24/7 operations such as those who work in our Weather Forecast Offices, those working on shipboard platforms that are not at home port, law enforcement officers and satellite operators, days will be carefully determined to ensure continuity of mission," Sullivan wrote. "In the constrained budget environment in which we find ourselves, there are no easy or painless operations available. This plan represents NOAA's best effort to ensure that critical public services are protected and employee impacts are minimized within the financial resources we have been given."
Ciaran Clayton, NOAA's director of communications, told FCW that although the budget climate is difficult, the agency has every intention of fulfilling its core mission of science, service and stewardship. However, Clayton stressed that investments in current and future programs and services must be balanced.
Richard Hirn, general counsel at the National Weather Service Employees Organization, immediately criticized the announcement.
"NOAA's plans to furlough operational employees at the National Weather Service as we enter the severe storm and hurricane season is unnecessary and places the public at great risk," Hirn told the Washington Post.
However, negotiations between NOAA and the labor unions are not final, and other options remain on the table that could help the agency avoid furloughs.

I can't afford for Google to be shut down and neither can most of us on WW, but I've held the view that this is the kind of death by a thousand cuts that will lead to its gradual demise. I was surprised when Google's excuse of accidental data collection was accepted, given that a video camera on the Google cars does not have a Wi-Fi antenna and receiver by default. Someone designed that, ordered the receivers, had them installed and turned on.
We can speculate why Google 'fessed up to still having personal data - could have been a whistleblower, could be anything else.
We all know that anything stored on disk or RAM can be copied for private use numerous times.
The only punishment that Google would understand is to be blocked in the UK and other affected markets for some extended period. The ban should also apply to any proxy site that allows a bypass. Fines are pointless. Of course it won't happen. :)

1 reviewTommy Hilfiger Arthur Mens Shoes
Tommy Hilfiger continues to innovate by blending preppy American styles with contemporary shifts in fashion. Here is a pair of shoes that discovers the sweet spot between smart and casual.
Brogue perforations to the leather upper demonstrate high quality formal craftsmanship. Teamed with contrast stitching to the outsole, and a branded stud to the rear quarter, these small, delicate touches make a big impact.
The four-eyelet fastening and round laces offer a traditional touch, whilst the two-tone contrast outsole is a contemporary update to a classic shoe design. Signature branding provides the finishing touches with a logo to the heel and corresponding colour detail to the tongue.
Make a bold impression and pair these shoes with chinos and a check shirt for a look that blends vintage style with contemporary trends.

HUDSON VALLEY, NY -- America's Great Waters Coalition has declared the Hudson Estuary and watershed as one of the nation's "Great Waters," recognizing the river's national importance and laying the groundwork for more effective federal contributions to the river's restoration, according to leading river advocates. Building on the Hudson River's reputation as the birthplace of the modern environmental movement and its naming as an American Heritage River, this new designation validates and reinforces the vision a broad array of partners has established for sustainable development centered on protecting the region's natural resources and connecting more people to these irreplaceable treasures.The heads of the region's most prominent environmental organizations—Jeff Rumpf, executive director of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater; Barbara Kendall, coordinator of the Hudson River Watershed Alliance; Joan K. Davidson, chair of the OurHudson Steering Committee; Paul Gallay, president and Hudson Riverkeeper; and Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson—proclaimed that with this designation, now is the time to focus on a new model for federal involvement on the Hudson River that will sustain the estuary as a natural resource and a foundation for creating a sustainable economic future for the valley. They noted that the template for action in the region is embodied in New York State's Hudson River Estuary Program Action Agenda, which has developed a regional vision for the environment and compatible economic development that builds on the valley's history of innovation and leadership. "Great Waters" is a designation bestowed by America's Great Waters Coalition, which consists of 70 local, regional and national organizations that believe that speaking with a united voice and working together will help nationalize clean water, habitat restoration, watershed-based planning and public education efforts throughout the country as well as strengthen each region's local efforts. New York State is in a leadership position to garner federal support and attention for the Hudson because of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Hudson River Estuary Program, which has developed a regional vision for the environment and compatible economic development that builds on the Hudson Valley's history of innovation and leadership. Visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4920.html for more information about the Hudson River Estuary Program.
The valley's residents, visitors, communities and businesses will benefit from:
"Designation of the Hudson Estuary as a Great Water builds on years of work by the state's Hudson River Estuary Program and its partner organizations to enhance the region's environment and economy through watershed planning and restoration initiatives. This is a big step forward," said Barbara Kendall, coordinator of the Hudson River Watershed Alliance."Today we are one Hudson—united for America's First River. This is the beginning of a new prominence and a new day for Clearwater, our Hudson River partners and the Hudson River Estuary. Thank you to our partners who have worked to achieve this great accomplishment; the tide is turned, and our shared fortunes are rising," said Jeff Rumpf, executive director of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater.Joan K. Davidson, chair of the OurHudson Steering Committee, expressed, "Congratulations to all the people and organizations, big and small, that have worked together to win this national salute to the greatest of America's Great Waters, from the Adirondacks to the Verrazano Narrows. Excelsior!""It's fitting that the Hudson River should be recognized as a Great Water in this, the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act. Although we still haven't achieved the act's goal of a 'fishable, swimmable' Hudson, this designation is an important recognition and should stimulate the increased investments we need to achieve these important goals," said Paul Gallay, president and Hudson Riverkeeper."The Hudson Estuary has for generations inspired the nation to develop environmental policies and compatible economic development strategies. With the recognition of the Hudson and the NY-NJ Harbor as one Great Water, we have a new opportunity to restore our shared waters, revitalize our waterfronts for public use and create jobs," said Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson.
The New York-New Jersey Harbor was named a Great Water in 2010, but the designation did not extend up the Hudson River at that time. The announcement of the entire Hudson River watershed as a Great Water acknowledges the natural hydrological connections between the harbor, the estuary and their tributaries and creates new opportunities for collaboration.Roland Lewis, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance and co-chair of the Harbor Coalition, a leading advocate for the New York-New Jersey Harbor, stated, "The goal of the NY-NJ Harbor Coalition is to galvanize support for transforming our urban waterfronts with exciting parks and docks that can accommodate everything from kayaks to tall ships, plus restored natural areas, enhanced waterfront neighborhoods and vital and sustainable port operations. By joining forces with other regional advocates through the Great Waters Coalition, we can amplify our voices and work together to secure the investment needed to make this vision a reality and create a tide that really does lift all boats."Estuary advocates cited that their agenda and the interests of the Harbor Coalition were remarkably similar and that both regions could be more effective at meeting their shared goals by working together.

Profile: Rinehart Racing - Hot Bike Magazine
Rinehart's new Xtreme True Duals for '09-10 baggers features a stepped header design, anti-reversion louvers, and dual O2 sensors in each pipe to accommodate for the smaller O2 sensors found on the '10 models and the larger sensors found on earlier models. The dual sensors also allow for more accurate air/fuel sampling when dynoing a bike.
The men at the top of Rinehart Racing (left to right) COO, Kyle Rinehart, CEO Judd Hollifield, and President Gerald Rinehart.
During our visit, Gerald's good friend "Legend" or as Gerald referred to him "Ledge" came by to hang out and show us around the Ashville area. Ledge is a rock star in his own right amongst the NASCAR community.
It's pretty evident why these are called the Cross Backs. These pipes feature a double-stepped header design, dual O2 ports, and are available in chrome or black in a flush or staggered look for Softail, Dyna, and Sportster models.
The new 2-into-1 one exhaust for '09-10 baggers features a powerful stepped header design, anti-reversion louvers, dual O2 ports, and a new muffler design.
Rinehart Racing headquarters is based out of an old stone building that was a famous exclusive sanatorium, Highland Hospital, for the rich and famous. Novelist and wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald checked into the hospital in 1930. Zelda was killed in a fire here and her ghost is said to haunt the building. Sometime in the late '70s Duke University purchased the building where outpatient psychiatric practice continued until the mid '80s when it was closed and sold to private investors.
Easily identifiable from a sea of motorcycle tail sections, the black Rinehart Signature end caps have "inspired" many others.
There aren't too many business owners in our industry that come to the table with the experience or credentials that Gerald Rinehart, President of Rinehart Racing (rinehartracing.com) does. And while the company may not have the extensive history in the V-twin industry as some of the other exhaust manufacturers, its rapid success and popularity is impressive. We recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Gerald, his son and COO, Kyle, and his CEO, Judd Hollifield, to learn a little about the beginning and future of Rinehart Racing.
A dynamic element in helping NASCAR, IndyCar, and AHDRA teams achieve numerous wins and championships with his skillfully designed exhaust systems, you'd think Gerald had extensive schooling, degrees in engineering, and a building full of state-of-the-art equipment to create such powerful/successful exhaust systems. In actuality, he's just a humble down-home guy who was a construction welder by trade and got his start in the exhaust industry in the mid '80s by tinkering away in the shop behind his house outside of Asheville, North Carolina, with borrowed tools and a makeshift workbench. Working on creating a header collector system for his friend Ray Zaruba, Head Engine Builder for NASCAR driver and team owner Dave Marcus, each system Gerald produced outperformed the previous, and word began to spread across the NASCAR community.
As teams began scrambling for Gerald's collections and with encouragement from NASCAR legend Edwin Keith "Banjo" Mathews, Gerald took the next logical step and began creating a full header system. In short time Gerald had his own complete exhaust design that achieved so much success, he quit his construction job and began the exhaust fabrication full time out of his basement. But even then he still had challenges.
"To earn someone's business, you have to outperform what they already had," Gerald told us. "I had an open door during the off-season at SABCO Racing, and I got my ass handed to me six years in a row. I wore down flow benches, literally melted them down flowing tubes and learning how much difference this step, tube length, and various combinations made in airflow. I got to the point to where I could take a V-8/V-10 Indy engine and take eight to 10 different tube lengths and have them all flow within one half of one percent of each other on a flow bench without using computers or having an engineering degree." Gerald earned SABCO's business the seventh year.
It seems that not having formal training or degrees in engineering was the key. "I don't have a box that I work in," Gerald said. "I have made my living by designing stuff that no one else had designed. Working on the NASCAR stuff, I never stepped across the line as far as doing something illegal, but I always worked in the gray area."
Appreciating Gerald's creativity and knack for exhaust design, top NASCAR officials tapped him for his input on the design of NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow (CoT). During one of the meetings Gerald asked why they wanted his opinion, and NASCAR President Mike Helton's response was, "We have more examples of your gray area designs in the lockup of our R&D; center than any other exhaust designer."
Working in the close circle of NASCAR, Gerald got to know an extensive group of racing enthusiasts, one of whom was Don Tilley of Tilley's Harley-Davidson. Around 1996, Don approached Gerald to fabricate an exhaust system for his race Buell. Don explained to Gerald what he wanted and Gerald complied. The next year, Don came to Gerald again, however this time, Don told Gerald to build it his way. With that, Gerald created an exhaust using some of the tricks he learned from his NASCAR experience, like incorporating a true merge Y, steps, and anti-reversion techniques, along with building his own set of mufflers. Don then put the pipes to the test on the dyno and was astonished at the results. They had picked up 12 additional horsepower out of the fully tuned bike. Don immediately called up Gerald and asked him how many of these pipes he wanted to sell. Gerald was still neck deep in the NASCAR business and barely had any breathing room for anything else. Gerald commented.
In 2001/2002 as things started to change in NASCAR, Gerald began looking for an opportunity to expand his business to the consumer segment, and he decided to go for it. He called up Don and asked him to dyno a '99 bagger that he had made a set of prototype true duals for. The bagger put out an additional 14 hp and 14 lb-ft, or torque, over its stock run. Needless to say, everyone was astonished. Working with connections in the motorcycle industry, Gerald had his exhaust picked up by Drag Specialties (DS), and in 2005, Gerald's prototype design of those bagger true duals broke the DS sales record for the most units of one part number sold in one year, 16,000 exhaust systems.
Kyle credits the company's rapid success in the V-twin industry to its experience in NASCAR and a proven product line. "We brought credibility. With our experience and success in NASCAR and racing, we knew how to make horsepower and torque and apply it to motorcycle exhausts. We don't have five million exhaust designs for all the Harley models, but the designs we do have run. We focus on making a few pipes that work for each bike."
Early on, Rinehart Racing knew it wanted its exhaust systems to be unique and identifiable. It wanted to be able to spot a set of Rineharts from across the parking lot or catch a glimpse as they blipped by on the highway. So in 2003, the company came up with the idea to incorporate an engraved Rinehart signature into the end caps. However, knowing that the signature would still be impossible to identify from a distance or speeding by, they needed something else. "When we first talked about doing black end caps people said we'd never be able to sell them. Now everyone offers them," Gerald said.
While the black end caps have become the defining aesthetic element of Rinehart exhausts, they have also inspired many others to partake in the greatest form of flattery, imitation. Gerald's first experience with getting his designs copied occurred in NASCAR and he really took it to heart. However, now he keeps the words of his mentor, Banjo, in mind, "If you weren't doing something right, they wouldn't pay you no mind."
Gerald has hit the Harley trifecta with his pipes: performance, looks, and sound. If you have ever heard a set of Rineharts fire up, you know it's hard to dismiss the mellow rumble at idle and the low growl at speed. "The sound has sold as many pipes as the performance," Gerald said. "The sound is just something I had once I came up with the design."
The company has always been about progress, and as Rinehart CEO Judd Hollifield put it: "Every story has multiple chapters. And we are now writing the next chapter of Rinehart Racing."
"We appreciate everything Bub and Drag (Specialties) and its parent company, LeMans, has done for us," Kyle commented. "They helped get us here and we stand by them for that. We are thrilled about the next chapter of Rinehart Racing and developing new products."
While Gerald admits he's not in his shop as often as he'd like, he has been busy creating new exhausts. "No cad programs or sketch pads. He works it in his head and you never know what he's going to come up with until he's finished. And in the end he'll surprise you," Judd said. Once the designs are tested and proven to perform to Rinehart standards they go through the manufacturing process in which everything from cutting and bending the tubing to polishing and chrome is done in the USA.
Just like Gerald did in his early days with NASCAR, he is always looking to improve, and the company is currently creating brand-new designs and making old designs obsolete, improving upon everything. Some of the new designs include the Cross Back exhaust for Softails, Dynas, and Sportsters. According to Gerald, this is the first seven-step exhaust in the industry, and outperforms any exhaust they've ever designed, putting out an additional 18 lb-ft of torque and 18 hp on a stock bike with a high-flow air cleaner and fuel tuner. For '09-10 baggers, Rinehart has come out with a new 2-into-1 system that features a three-stepped header design, and new stepped baffles.
"The old saying is, 'If you want something to run, put a 2-into-1 on it.' But our True-Duals for the '09-10 baggers are within 1 hp of our 2-into-1s and the torque between the two is spot-on," Gerald said.
Aside from creating new exhausts, Rinehart is also working on several other new products that it says will rock the industry. Steadfast in its commitment to performance, Rinehart is equally concerned with quality and has created a buzz in the industry with its announcement of offering an 18-month warranty on its exhaust. "You always keep diggin' and scratchin', tryin' this, tryin' that, and seeing what will work, what won't work, and what works better," Gerald told us. "The whole deal is, if you ever get complacent or satisfied with what you got, you'll get left behind."

Terry Trafford's former teammates remember a prankster and a teammate that always had their backs
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports4 days agoEvery junior hockey team has a prankster. In Saginaw, it was Terry Trafford.
He was the player who would hide water cups in shin pads and go to the rink extra early to unscrew the hooks holding up his teammates' skates in the Spirit dressing room.
"He would always take my scissors and tape them up somewhere where I couldn't find them," said former Saginaw teammate Brandon Archibald. "He always did it for fun and it was good for team morale in the locker room – he was a good locker room guy."
Trafford was also the first player to welcome newcomer Gregg Sutch after a trade brought him to Saginaw. Sutch remembers walking into the Spirit room for the first time and being greeted by the face of his soon-to-be linemate and eventual dear friend.
"He just sat there with this goofy smile and said, 'Hey, I'm Terry Trafford'," recalled Sutch. "He put his hand out to shake . . . just a genuinely friendly guy."
Even after Sutch, now 22, graduated from the Ontario Hockey League, he and Trafford kept in touch regularly with their cell phones – sending text messages and whatever else would make them laugh.
Friends, family 'devastated' as search continues for Terry Trafford
Yahoo Sports6 days agoAs the search continues for missing Terry Trafford, his friends and family are growing more concerned. The 20-year-old Saginaw Spirt player has not been seen or heard from since last Monday.
"His family is devastated," said Skye Cieszlak, Trafford's girlfriend of four years. "My family is devastated. Me, myself, I'm miserable."
On Monday morning, while speaking with Yahoo! Sports, Cieszlak and her family were en route to a Saginaw police station to double check that a missing persons report had been filed with local authorities. On Saturday evening, when contacted by a reporter about Trafford's disappearance the officer on the Saginaw County Central Dispatch night desk had no knowledge of a report being filed.
"I know everyone is saying that the Saginaw police are involved but I want to make sure," said Cieszlak.
Trafford had been seen last at the Dow Event Center, the home of the Spirit, on March 3. It is believed he was heading back home to Toronto, but Toronto Police Const. Victor Kwong told The Canadian Press that authorities have no record of Trafford crossing the border.
OHL ups the ante, makes significant changes to player benefit packages
Yahoo Sports24 days agoThere are new contracts being sent out and signed that will usher in some big, new changes to the Ontario Hockey League.
Yahoo Canada has learned that the two most significant amendments to its current program for players focuses on the OHL's education packages and a new monthly reimbursement plan – covering a number of items like gas, clothing and other incidentals like food – for up to $470. OHL commissioner David Branch, said the initiatives were ratified by the league's board of governors in August and are now being implemented.
"We are constantly, regularly, always challenging how we can improve things for our players on and off the ice," Branch told Yahoo Canada on Thursday. "We recognize that they are the most important people in the game."
According to Branch, under the new expanded benefits package, players will now have extra time for using the money they receive for post-secondary education. Previously the league had given players 18 months from their last game played to use their school packages. That funding disappeared, however, if the player signed a contract with a National Hockey League or American Hockey League team.
Sarnia's Anthony DeAngelo suspended for slur directed at teammate
Yahoo Sports1 mth agoSarnia Sting defenceman, Anthony DeAngelo, hasn't played in two weeks. The last time he saw the ice was during a game against the Guelph Storm on Jan. 31. Up until now, the word had been the talented blueliner had been serving a team suspension issued by head coach Trevor Letowski.
It's not the first time a player has been disciplined by a coach and it won't be the last. The situation, though, has been cloudy with Letowski dancing around why exactly he's decided to sit the highly touted NHL draft prospect.
Those clouds parted on Friday, when the Ontario Hockey League announced they had suspended the native of Sewell, N.J., eight games for violating the league's harrassment, abuse and diversity policy. It's the second time this season the 18-year-old has been suspended for contravening the rule which attempts to keep homophobic, racist, sexist, and the other derogatory language used by small minds – out of the game.
The minimum suspension for this infraction is five games. Recently, Windsor's Steven Janes was suspended five games under the same policy. In Janes' case it was something offensive said to an opponent during a game.
Size matters: Are small towns being pushed to the OHL's fringes?
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports1 mth agoThere was a time when the small-market franchise was considered the lifeblood of junior hockey. In many cases they were the only game in town. It was a cheap night out and something many families could readily afford.
Teams were run more like mom-and-pop local stores. In the new OHL landscape, however, more and more franchises are being run like Supercentres in big, state-of-the-art arenas. For some it's a big, profitable business. For the rest it's a daily grind to stay in the black and still ice a competitive team.
No one knows this balance better than the Owen Sound Attack.
The Attack play in the OHL's smallest market with roughly 22,000 residents -- though that number almost doubles when you factor in the neighbouring townships. Still, the 3,500-capacity J.D. McArthur Arena is regularly more than 80 per cent full. The team is competitive and won an OHL title in 2011.
"We have to do things smarter because we're smaller," says Attack president and part owner, Dr. Bob Severs. "That's the challenge … there are several challenges, but the primary challenge is that when you make a decision you don't have the luxury of being able to make a major error and walk away from that.
World junior championship: No medal again for Canada - what's the problem?
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports2 mths agoMALMO, Sweden — For the second consecutive year, Canada is coming home empty-handed from the world junior championships.
It's the first time since 1978-81 that Canada has been left off the podium in two straight tournaments. And, just like last year, it was the Russians that skated away with bronze – beating Canada 2-1 – in a game that didn't really find its energy until halfway through the third period when defenceman Josh Morrissey scored Canada's lone goal to cut the deficit.
Too little, too late.
"There's not much mood right now," said Canadian captain Scott Laughton. "It's tough. You can't put it into words when you put on this crest and try and represent your country and you can't even bring a medal back to Canada for the people who have been cheering for you and have 4,000 fans come down here, it's…"
World junior championship: 'Underdogs' Finland confident ahead of semifinal against Canada
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports2 mths agoMALMO, Sweden — Six months ago, in Lake Placid, N.Y., Finnish goaltender Juuse Saros was asked about how he viewed Canada's recent performances at the world junior championships. Canada hasn't won gold since 2009 and last year in Ufa, Russia, they finished without a medal for the first time since 1998.
"You don't have to be God to beat them," said Saros in an early August interview with Yahoo Sports. "It gives hope that guys will beat them."
On Saturday, Saros will get a chance to test out his theory first hand when he starts for Team Finland against Canada in the semifinals of the world junior championships.
So how does he feel about facing Canada now?
His views on needing divine intervention to beat the Canadians have not changed.
Aaron Ekblad, Team Canada's 'man-child,' a pillar of strength on the blueline
Yahoo Sports2 mths agoMALMO, Sweden — Aaron Ekblad stood behind a partition in the media mixed zone and watched intently as teammate Mathew Dumba was being interviewed.
As it turned out Dumba was talking about Ekblad. The pair are roommates together here with Team Canada, so the blueliners have been able to get to know each other quite well.
"He has the body of like a 35 or 40-year-old," said Dumba of the 17-year-old defenceman. "The guy shaves his chest every week. I can't believe it, he's a man-child."
Standing there, eavesdropping, all Ekblad could do was smile and shake his head. But Dumba wasn't finished quite yet – there was still more.
"I don't know, he's just a huge human being," said the defenceman, who spent the first half of the season with the NHL's Minnesota Wild.
"I call him Shrek."
The response elicited laughs from reporters.
It wasn't long before Ekblad got his turn to speak to the same group of reporters as Dumba moved down the interview line.
"I'm not sure I like it too much," said the Barrie Colts blueliner of the ogre-inspired nickname. "I mean I like Shrek, but I don't think I look like him or anything like that."
World junior championship: Fucale is ready and confident to start in goal for Canada vs. Slovakia
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports2 mths agoMALMO, Sweden — No matter where he is in the world, Zach Fucale tries to be in bed at the same time every night. It's just something he's always done.
Even as a 16-year-old with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Halifax Mooseheads, it would take his roommates a little getting used to on road trips.
"Every night at 9:30 he'd turn the TV and the lights off and head to bed," said Mooseheads teammate and former roommate on the road, Darcy Ashley. "I'd be sitting in the dark staring at the walls until midnight."
[World junior championship: Scores & schedule]
It's all a part of Fucale's attention to detail and preparation he puts into being game ready. It's a part of his routine, but it's definitely not part of any superstition – because he doesn't believe in such things.
"He says superstitions are just a lack of confidence," said Ashley, who has played with Fucale in Halifax for two and a half seasons. "That's what he says.
"He's the most prepared athlete I've ever seen in my life. The most committed athlete."
World junior championship: Team Canada handed wakeup call by upstart Czech Republic
Sunaya Sapurji at Yahoo Sports2 mths agoMALMO, Sweden — Forward Radek Faksa's mouth was full of blood after taking a high stick to the face. After the game, with his teeth chipped and lips fat, he said he felt no pain. It was only minor inconvenience after helping the Czech Republic pull off a 5-4 shootout victory over Team Canada.
The last time the Czechs had beaten the Canadians, they were still under the banner of Czechoslovakia.
"So many people in Czech Republic didn't trust us today with Canada," said Faksa, who plays for the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. "They thought we would lose by five goals or something. They will be surprised that we won in a shootout."
The surprise will be shared equally by fans in Canada. Many expected head coach Brent Sutter's squad to roll through the weaker Group A relatively unscathed before a New Year's Eve matchup with defending gold medalists Team USA.
"Whenever you put the Canadian jersey on you're expected to win every game," said Sutter. "The reality is, you're not going to. It's just how you deal with it and how you handle it that's going to make us a better team."

Well made quality product. I alresdy had Honda brackets installed on my VT1300CR STATELINE, and the siisy bar would not fit on them. Instead of removing the brackets and installing the Cobra Brackets, I shipped it back to J&P for a refund. Which i received promptly after the item was received back into the warehouse. Service at J&P is outstanding. I will continue to shop with them.

It is a pleasure to do busoness with this company. The people on the phones are very nice and helpful. The product is great and arrives before I really expect it to. I will always do my business with J&P.

The taller backrest is much more comfortable for the passenger. It really allows them to lean back more than the shorter versions. It looks great and was resonably easy to install. The width of the bars does require two people to align it and required a little man-handling, but once installed it was great!

Works great and look really good

Great product. Fit perfectly as described.

It is everything I was told it would be. The perfect addition to my bike.

Recently added this, the ZZ85492 Jumbo pad and ZZ71340 luggage rack. Everything installed easily, about 30 minutes to remove other stuff and put the Cobra items on. Everything looks great. Sure can't beat Cobra for fantastic chrome. Better half finds this setup much more comfortable that what was on before.

This was just what we were looking for. The tall one is great for a woman, hits my wife in the upper middle part of her back and is very comfortable.

Very easy to install, just take your time. Factory hardware is locked in with Locktite. Clean out the threads before re-installing and hand start bolts in holes. Use locktite - Blue, to install.
Very good look on the bike. Very happy with my purchase.

It may be hard to write a flowery review about a sissy bar and pad, but when you get a product that is as advertised, and for a reasonable price you almost want to. I won't though. I will say that, as I expected from Cobra, and J.P. Cycles, it went on easy, is hefty enough for touring, it looks good, and was exactly what I needed. So far I have never been dissapointed with a product I've bought, or the service I've recieved from J.P. Cycles. My 2005 VN1600 Vulcan Classic will no doubt get a few more goodies from my favorite catalog.

The back rest was a great improvement over the smaller one we had. My wife can ride further without me stopping. That makes it worth the money.

very easy to install
matthewlr Posted :
The bar was a perfect fit and the instructions were a non-visual, but easy to follow. I think it looks a bit too tall, but that's just me.
jazztek Posted :
Nice solid sissy bar. Would be nice to have the option of a studded pad instead of automatically sending a plain one. Was spendy having to purchase a separate studded pad and have the plain one sit on a shelf.

Looks good. I replaced the pad to match what I already have on the bike but there isn't anything wrong with the one that comes with it.

Reptilian Crime Fighters: Spiderman Lizards
Apparently Spiderman fans are getting their radioactive panties in a bunch over Agamas, lizards with a coloration that resembles that of the superhero. Best reason ever to get a pet? Probably not.
The vivid red-and-blue colouring is almost uncannily like that of the Marvel superhero, and comic book fans have been flocking to exotic pet shops to snap them up.
Native to Kenya, the rock agama (Agama mwanzae) is unable to throw webs, but can change colour - the brightly coloured males will change brown at night or if frightened. They can also run on their hind legs, and - like Spidey - can scale vertical walls.
As many of you may know, I was an amateur herpetologist in a past life. So I like lizards. BUT NOT TROUSER SNAKES! Not speaking of which, did I ever tell you about the time I put a poison dart frog in my mouth? Because that was the end of that life. The time after I tried stealing a grizzly bear's cub!

Coconut Pie Recipe
Watching my mother cook from scratch, I hardly knew that anything was available "pre-made" until I'd left home. One of Mom's best desserts is her creamy old-fashioned coconut pie. A rich slice is true comfort food.

- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup flaked coconut
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
- In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, coconut, eggs, flour, butter and vanilla. Pour into pie shell.
- Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Post subject: Thrombosed Haemorrhoid - in agony and worried sick!
Sorry definitely TMI but need to talk to someone!
Hiya, I was having a shower on Saturday and started to feel lots of pressure in my bum, when I got out and was getting dry I was in a lot of pain down there so used a mirror to look and I've got a huge external purpley coloured haemorrhoid. I had them after giving birth to my son and they were very uncomfortable but not painful. This one is agony and I can't move without being in a lot of pain. I used Anusol on Saturday and Sunday which did nothing and by this morning it is bigger and the swelling has spread forward to opening of vagina (not the haemorrhoid but just swollen). I went to the doctor as I'd read about a few people on internet who'd had them in 3rd trimester and doctor had cut them out so thought I could get it sorted before I go into labour but she just told me it wouldn't go away while I was pregnant because it's being caused by baby pressing on Haemorrhoidal vein and gave me some anaesthetic cream and suppositories (not sure why the suppositories when it's an external haemorrhoid?) but I've been using the cream all day and it hasn't numbed the pain at all.
I've spent most of the last 3 days in tears with the pain and worrying about labour. I can't even get into a non-painful position to sit, lie etc so how will I be able to get anywhere near comfortable during labour? I'm scared to go for a number 2 atm so there's no way I'll be able to push out a baby! Also I've read that having piles during labour can lead to complications as they can get bigger and burst while pushing
I rang the mat ward and spoke to a MW but just got told it's something they'd have to look at when I was in labour! I really wanted a home waterbirth but can see it's not gonna happen as I am terrified about the pain I'll be in now. I can cope with labour pains but with this as well I just don't think I would cope.
Anybody else experienced similar and did your doctor do anything about it? How was labour?

O bless ya! Its sounds awfull, the only advice I can whigh you already probably is keep hydrated and your motions soft so take lactulose if you need to as it will soften the poo and hopefully not aggratvate the piles as much.
Speak your mw next time you see and voice your concerns a bit more strongly xx

Bekki, I had loads of them after having JJ and have had them since when one time I was constipated but on both occasions they've just been uncomfortable not agony like this one
And they shrivelled up within a few days, this one appears to be getting bigger by the day! I've tried ice, and the anaesthetic cream and suppositories now and nothing seems to be working. I've been told by a homoeopath to take Hamamelis 30c (witch hazel) as it's good to shrink varicose veins and piles, and also to apply a witch hazel soaked pad at night so I bought some today and will be applying tonight and have taken 2 tablets so far. Also been taking arnica for the bruised feeling I have down there to see if that does anything. I wouldn't mind the pain so much if it was due to giving birth but it's just depressing that I'm in so much pain and there's still plenty more to come!

I have had exactly the same!! Had a sickness bug last week and it made them awful..I could barely walk. I had to have paracetamol regularly and had internal steroid foam which did no good. Just kept going with anusol and had regular baths and they are going slowly but surely but at least the pain seems to have gone. Good luck and hopefully they will clear up soon x

Buy icepops and lots of them wrap some toilet tissue around them so that the plastic is not touching your skin then lay down with it pressed against the pile .. leave until the pop has melted then do the same again half an hour later keep repeating this for a few days as much as you can it will shrink them ... heat makes them worse btw

Austerity: Still Not Working
Europe needs fiscal federalism and a banking union to promote growth and recovery.
The outcome of the Italian elections should send a clear message to Europe's leaders: the austerity policies that they have pursued are being rejected by voters.
The European project, as idealistic as it was, was always a top-down endeavor. But it is another matter altogether to encourage technocrats to run countries, seemingly circumventing democratic processes, and foist upon them policies that lead to widespread public misery.
While Europe's leaders shy away from the word, the reality is that much of the European Union is in depression. The loss of output in Italy since the beginning of the crisis is as great as it was in the 1930s. Greece's youth unemployment rate now exceeds 60 percent, and Spain's is above 50 percent. With the destruction of human capital, Europe's social fabric is tearing, and its future is being thrown into jeopardy.
The economy's doctors say that the patient must stay the course. Political leaders who suggest otherwise are labeled as populists. The reality, though, is that the cure is not working, and there is no hope that it will—that is, without being worse than the disease. Indeed, it will take a decade or more to recover the losses incurred in this austerity process.
In short, it is neither populism nor shortsightedness that has led citizens to reject the policies that have been imposed on them. It is an understanding that these policies are deeply misguided.
Europe's talents and resources—its physical, human, and natural capital—are the same today as they were before the crisis began. The problem is that the prescriptions being imposed are leading to massive underutilization of these resources. Whatever Europe's problem, a response that entails waste on this scale cannot be the solution.
The simplistic diagnosis of Europe's woes—that the crisis countries were living beyond their means—is clearly at least partly wrong. Spain and Ireland had fiscal surpluses and low debt/GDP ratios before the crisis. If Greece were the only problem, Europe could have handled it easily.
An alternative set of well-discussed policies could work. Europe needs greater fiscal federalism, not just centralized oversight of national budgets. To be sure, Europe may not need the 2-to-1 ratio of federal to state spending found in the United States; but it clearly needs far more European-level expenditure, unlike the current miniscule EU budget (whittled down further by austerity advocates).
A banking union, too, is needed. But it needs to be a real union, with common deposit insurance and common resolution procedures, as well as common supervision. There will also have to be Eurobonds, or an equivalent instrument.
European leaders recognize that, without growth, debt burdens will continue to grow, and that austerity by itself is an anti-growth strategy. Yet years have gone by, and no growth strategy is on the table, though its components are well known: policies that address Europe's internal imbalances and Germany's huge external surplus, which now is on par with China's (and more than twice as high relative to GDP). Concretely, that means wage increases in Germany and industrial policies that promote exports and productivity in Europe's peripheral economies.

Beautiful artwork and challenging puzzle-solving is combined in this handheld title from Nintendo.This endearing title manages to combine the best of both worlds from puzzle and adventure titles, creating a meld of point-and-click action with the occasional brain teaser. When Augustus Reinhold, a rich baron from the town of St. Mystere, passes away, his hidden treasure must be found by clues left in his will. Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke are called in to explore the town and solve its mysteries. Rather than give players an ongoing string of puzzles to solve, Professor Layton links them together with an interesting plot that slowly develops along the way.This combining of gameplay styles is held together by the game's art style, which uses fluid, hand-drawn art and animations to tell its story. Full voiced cut scenes and a collection of crazy characters scattered across the village give the title production values not often seen in a handheld title.With its striking visuals and original brainteasers, Professor Layton & the Curious Village successfully combines adventuring and puzzles into one charming and humorous handheld title

text: It would be grammatically correct to do so. However, by reducing the clause to a phrase, "listen" becomes "listening", which seems to convey the idea that the people you refer to in this sentence are listening now or at this moment. This is interesting because I don't think it often works out this way when it comes to reducing clauses to phrases. This is a good example of how mechanical grammar can be. I think a native speaker would avoid reducing this particular clause to a phrase quite naturally, and, of course, without even thinking about it. Most native speakers don't know what "reducing a clause to a phrase" means, anyway. So it's possible, but it seems to make the intended meaning somewhat unclear.
