ESPN insider on Whisenhunt: Shouldn't be fired, but might be
At that point the franchise will have some important decisions to make, not the least of which is what to do at head coach.
Do they keep Ken Whisenhunt, who in six seasons with the team has won a pair of NFC West titles and taken the Cardinals to the Super Bowl? Or do they fire a coach whose career record is 45-49, and has gone just 18-28 over the last three seasons?
They are the same guy, after all.
"The realization that [Whisenhunt's] entering the last year of his contract, when you start to do that then you start to say 'OK, is it time to do the extension,'" ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "And if they don't do the extension and they start to review things and look at this season there might very well be a change."
"I think it'd be a mistake because I think he's too good of a coach to let go, but I think you can understand the circumstances."
Listen: John Clayton, ESPN NFL insider The Professor gives us insight into the stories headlining the NFL this week.
"Those things, unfortunately, are going to be held against him," Clayton said. "Should he be fired? No. Will he be fired? Maybe."

Plumasnews.com includes a sampling of stories that are featured in the weekly editions of Feather Publishing newspapers plus important breaking news as it happens. To get all the news that is important to Plumas County, subscribe to one of our weekly newspapers by calling 530-283-0800. |
Fair manager John Steffanic wants $123,000 from the county, but was thrilled to get a used lawnmower.
Steffanic appeared before the Board of Supervisors during the board's Sept. 3 meeting to talk about his budget.
As Steffanic sat before the board, Supervisor Jon Kennedy posed the question: "Is the fair important to this community and should we pay for it?"
"I vote 'yes!'" Steffanic replied.
It was an unusually quiet board as budget consultant Susan Scarlett presented the latest revenue figures, and Steffanic as well as Public Health Director Mimi Hall and interim Probation Chief Doug Carver appeared.
After Steffanic spoke about trying to tap donations both during the fair and throughout the year, Supervisor Lori Simpson said, "I think we need a fair," and then turned to fellow Supervisor Kevin Goss and asked, "Is Cupcake still alive?"
Goss said his daughter sold her pig, "Cupcake," during the fair's annual 4-H auction, prompting someone to chime in with "Now it's Pork Chops."
But that moment of levity aside, Steffanic stressed the need for county assistance.
"I'm hustling wherever I can," he said. "I'm finding ways to make money; I'm finding ways to cut money."
While the supervisors aren't making final budget decisions until the Sept. 18 publicly noticed budget hearing, Simpson told Steffanic that he would be getting a used lawnmower from facility services, which visibly pleased him.
Hall talked to the supervisors about the needs of veterans services and senior nutrition, and Carver talked about the issues he had recruiting probation officers to come to Plumas County.
"Geographic location seems to be the biggest problem, not wages," he said.
Carver told the supervisors that they had "a good staff at the probation department," but that currently they "were really just providing triage," when they "should be providing community supervision."
"We need to have the officers going to their home," he said.
During an interview following the board meeting, Supervisor Sherrie Thrall said that his admission concerned her. In contrasting the needs of the fair with probation, she said that with more state prisoners being released to the county, she saw staffing probation as a priority.
The supervisors were scheduled to discuss the budget more during their Sept. 10 meeting and continue the discussion to 9 a.m. on Sept. 11.
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 10 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors' chambers.

Winter is coming, and that means comfy oversized sweaters, curling up by the fireplace, hot chocolate…and steamy bowls of soup to keep us warm.
Skinny Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my favorite soup recipes!
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can diced tomatoes & green chilies
- 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot…your choice!)
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- Diced veggies (I typically use green, red & yellow peppers and onion for this soup)
- Place all of the ingredients in your slow cooker on HIGH for 3 hours.
- Remove chicken and shred using two forks.
- Return the chicken to the broth and cook on LOW for 30 minutes.
- Serve with low salt or sea salt tortilla chips.
- Enjoy!!

Some financial aid awards require full-time enrollment, some at least half-time, and some are adjusted to meet the course load, such as the Federal Pell Grant. A student must comply with the following minimum semester hours of enrollment (excluding audited hours) in order to be eligible for financial aid.
Required enrollment hours | Undergraduate hours per semester ** | Graduate hours per semester ** | Summer term ** |
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG - See details below) | 6 | N/A | 3 |
National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (SMART - See details below) | 6 | N/A | 3 |
Access Missouri*/Bright Flight* (See details below) | 12 | N/A | N/A |
Marguerite Ross Barnett Memorial Scholarship* | 6-11 | N/A | N/A |
Midwest Student Exchange Program* | 12 | 9 | N/A |
Federal Pell Grant (adjustable - see details below) | 1 | N/A | 1 |
Federal Supplemental Grant (SEOG) | 6 | N/A | 3 |
Federal Perkins Loan | 6 | 5 | 3 |
Federal Work-Study | 6 | 5 | 3 |
Required enrollment hours | Undergraduate hours per semester ** | Graduate hours per semester ** | Summer term ** |
Stafford | 6 | 5 | 3 |
PLUS Loans for Undergraduates | 6 | N/A | 3 |

* These programs have been enacted by the Missouri General Assembly to benefit Missouri residents in paying for higher education, and are subject to availability of funds. Contact the Missouri Department of Higher Education at http://www.dhe.mo.gov/ or call 800-473-6757 for detailed information.
**Undergraduate credit hours are defined as 500 or lower level classes.
**Graduate credit hours are defined as 500 or above level classes.
Your enrollment will be monitored at the end of the Change of Schedule Period (COSP) for federal grant and state programs. If enrollment is less than full time at the end of the University's COSP a student will not be eligible to receive state funds (Access Missouri and Bright Flight). Adding classes after COSP will not change eligibility for any state program. Registration for Second Block classes must also be completed by the COSP deadline to meet enrollment requirements. Your final Pell Award will be based on the number of hours in which you are enrolled at the end of the COSP. If your federal grant award is disbursed prior to the COSP, you may have to repay all or part of the grant(s) if your COSP course load reflects a reduced enrollment status. Loan funds may also change based on your enrollment at the end of the COSP. Please note: If you apply for financial aid after the COSP deadline, awards will be based on the total hours in which you are enrolled at the time your FAFSA is received.

Rockford, IL- Forty Super Late Model competitors have officially filed their entries for the 43rd annual National Short Track Championships which will be contested September 26-28 at Rockford Speedway. These forty drivers will receive the Economic Stimulus Package which includes four Hoosier Tires, $125 Sunoco Racing Fuel credit as well as the Lefthander Chassis Racer's Bonus Pack which is worth over $300.
Included in this list of entries are four former National Short Track Championship titlists including Jeremy Lepak who has recorded wins the last two years in this historic event. 1990 victor Rich Bickle, Jr as well as 2002 winner Steve Rubeck, will be joined by three time NSTC winner and current ASA Late Model North Point Leader Eddie Hoffman in what promises to be a hotly contested showdown of stars.
But Hoffman will not be the only series point leader to make his mark on this event as current ASA Midwest Tour front runner Dan Fredrickson attempts to secure his name in the record books, bringing his dominant machine down from Minnesota. Steve Holzhausen is the current Wisconsin Challenge Series point leader and will make his first trip to Rockford since setting fast time at the 2006 Spring Classic event.
Champions will be well represented on the track as the 2008 Madison International, Dells Raceway Park, Grundy County Speedway and Rockford Speedway Track Champions all have their sights set on wearing the Winner's Wreath in victory lane. Nathan Haseleu, the 2007 ASA Midwest Tour and Wisconsin Challenge Series Champion was recently crowned Madison International Speedway's Super Late Model Champion while Jerry Gille will represent the home track in the event he lost by inches just one year ago. Grundy County's Brett Sontag and Dells Raceway Park's Jeff Kendall will be joined by 2007 Super Late Model Champs Bobby Wilberg (Madison) and David Prunty (Slinger) on the list of contenders.
Fans won't want to overlook the likes of Eddie May who led the most laps at NSTC in 2007, hard charging Brad Mueller, Minnesota's Josh Vadnais, Chicagoland's Larry Schuler and Stevie Campbell who both showed strong hands last year, Rockford Hot Shoe Ryan Carlson, Tony 'The Tiger' Strupp or 2007 third place finisher Dan Lensing. The storylines are plenty and the action promises to be the same during the National Short Track Championships at Rockford Speedway. Tickets are now on sale for One Great Racing Weekend which features twelve divisions of racing action, for more information including a complete schedule of events visit www.rockfordspeedway.com or call 815-633-1500.

Park Board that can handle all mountain
I am looking for a new board that is fun in the park but can also handle the rest of the mountain- groomers, pow, etc. I am 16 years old, I weigh 145, I'm 5' 9" tall, and I have a size 10.5 boot, but I will probably be buying a size 11 next season, as I am still growing. I've been looking around at quite a few different boards, and I have found some that I think might work for me. They are the Signal Rocker Light, the Signal Omni, the Forum Bully, the Arbor Westmark or Blacklist, Gnu Carbon Credit, the 2012 Rome Mod Rocker, or the 2012 Bataleon Riot. Which of these boards do you think would work best for what I want? Are there other boards that you would recommend too? Thanks for the help.

The Westmark is a sick, sick board.
A couple of my buddies ride it and love them. Surprisingly, they've been one of the best sellers at the shop as well this year. Can't really go wrong with it. |

dont know what everyone else thinks but I just picked up last years flow verve based on similar interests and feedback from people here on the forum. It seems to be a little more park oriented and is also more of a budget board but might be something to consider. I got it in a 149 because I weigh 135 but I believe it comes in a 151 as well.

I think I want a rocker or camber rocker board, not full camber. However, if I do get a full rocker board, I want it to have decent pop still. I have had rocker boards in the past, and I really like how playful and forgiving they are.

Woodmen, please spare those trees
By Neal H. CruzI have good news and bad news today. First, the good news: A total of 486 huge acacia trees lining the MacArthur Highway in Pampanga were saved from the chainsaws of the Department of Public Works and Highways when Judge Ma. Angelica Paras-Quiambao of Regional Trial Court Branch 59 extended a temporary restraining order issued earlier by another judge.

Huskies coach Brian Young would like his team to forget about a pair of lopsided wins against the Indians six weeks ago and concentrate instead on the present, as the two Kanawha Valley teams lock up at 6 p.m. today in Falling Rock in the Class AA Region 4 semifinals.
Hoover (27-3), which comes into the game as the No. 1 team in the Gazette's AA state rankings, crushed the Indians in back-to-back games - 8-1 on April 4 and 14-0 on April 8.
"We trying to keep them focused,'' Young said of his players. "We told them those games are warmups and practice. At this time of the year, it doesn't mean anything what you've done early in the season. They understand that and they're focused on what they've got to do.''
The fact that Sissonville (14-20) upset state-ranked Poca in the sectionals, sweeping both games from the Dots, certainly helps Young keep his players' attention.
"They understand,'' Young said. "They're a focused bunch. The season started to wear on them a little bit there, but once we got to later in the year and we got to the sectionals, they refocused and now we're almost like the team we were at the beginning of the season. They've worked hard and they know exactly what's at hand.''
Young is unsure if he'll go with ace Tristan Fields (6-1, 1.98 ERA) on the mound tonight, or if he'll use Cody Bowen (5-1, 1.75) or Corey Bird (4-0, 1.08). Sissonville will likely counter with its No. 1 pitcher, left-hander Zach Null (5-4, 2.38, 73 strikeouts in 672/3 innings).
Hoover's top hitters are Bird (.481, 45 stolen bases), Ryan Shamblin (.447, 37 RBIs), Austin Thomas (.455, 38 RBIs), Fields (.423, six homers, 40 RBIs), Bowen (.423, 32 RBIs) and Shaun Dotson (.405, 42 RBIs).
Sissonville's offense revolves around Null (.484, 27 RBIs), Josh Landis (26 RBIs) and Jacob Fisher (24 steals).
Since Hoover's graduation is set for tonight, the seniors on the baseball team will participate in a short graduation ceremony before the game.
The other half of AA Region 4 tonight pits Wayne (12-15) at Scott (18-15), which knocked off another ranked team, Chapmanville, in sectional play.
The Pioneers have beaten the Skyhawks twice this season, 3-2 and 6-1.
Today's winners advance to the regional finals on Thursday, with a berth in the state tournament at Power Park at stake. The survivor between Hoover and Sissonville serves as home team in the finals.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Essentially Poor Richard's Almanack embodies all the themes of the Autobiography in a witty and accessible format. Franklin's literary influence on Poor Richard's Almanack comes in a variety of forms: Proverbs, epigrams, rhymes, and aphorisms abound in each edition, usually interspersed among the calendars, weather forecasts, and astronomical charts. Each edition opens with a letter from the almanac's alleged author, one Richard Saunders (another Franklin pseudonym). He was "excessive poor" but fascinated with the heavens. Influenced by his wife, who could not bear "to sit spinning in her Shift of Tow," he was compelled to publish his observations. Thus, Franklin presents to his readership "middling people" who had to work long and hard to save and prosper—one of their own, a man of humble means in search of moral perfection and its resultant prosperity.
Few of Franklin's sayings in Poor Richard's Almanack were original. He borrowed many of them from larger poetic works written within the preceding five or ten years; the poetic satirists Alexander Pope, John Dryden, and Jonathan Swift are heavily borrowed from but revised by Franklin to fit the needs and tastes of his readership. Many of these sayings have become oft-repeated foundations of American cultural heritage: "A true friend is the best possession"; "Don't misinform your Doctor nor your Lawyer"; "Don't throw stones at your...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Benjamin Franklin circulated the annual Poor Richard's Almanack with great success in prerevolutionary Philadelphia. He boasted in his autobiography that the almanac eventually reached ten thousand readers, a remarkable feat in a city with a population of approximately fifteen thousand people. Franklin had published short pieces using pseudonyms such as Silence Dogood, but the pseudonym Richard Saunders or, as he would come to be known, Poor Richard, became one of Franklin's favorites during his early career as a printer.
In Franklin's time, the almanac served not only as a valuable source of information about the weather but also as a form of entertainment. Franklin's effort to both inform and entertain is evident from the beginning of Poor Richard's Almanack, but his emphasis changed over time. As Franklin grew older and became involved in civic improvements in Philadelphia, the desire to offer useful advice began to overshadow the humor found in earlier issues of the almanac.
Beginning with the 1733 issue and continuing to the issue of 1739, one can identify a number of similarities. Each issue begins with a short essay of introduction, signed by Richard Saunders (with one exception), followed by monthly poems and several maxims. The issues close with some additional material, most often a report on eclipses that Franklin sometimes uses for humorous purposes. One can detect Franklin's struggle to make the almanac stand out from its competitors in the market: For example, he makes use of a hoax concerning the death of a rival, Titan Leeds, even having Leeds return from the dead to write a ghostly letter replying to disbelievers. Problems in mathematics and mysteriously worded prophecies provide diversions for the reader as well. Many of these elements are presented in the form of what today might by called cliffhangers, with the promise of further revelations in subsequent issues.
The format of the introductory essay, monthly poems and maxims, and a variety of closing material is used in issues published after 1739. Although Franklin varies the presentations somewhat, the basic structure of the almanac remains the same.
The monthly poems, which usually deliver some moral point, as well as the maxims, made Poor Richard's Almanack famous. Many well-known quotations from Franklin come in the form of his maxims. They all share the characteristic of being short, and are often playfully worded. The maxims, which cover a variety of topics, consistently advocate, for example, moderation and temperance in the consumption of food and spirits (with frequent warnings against drunkenness). His advice on money encourages the reader to work hard, save money, and live simply; however, he also frequently warns against seeking wealth for its own sake and against being miserly.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For the past 11 years, more than 2,000 American schools have held "Mix It Up at Lunch Day" -- a time when pupils don't cluster in their usual dining cliques, but instead sit with minority students, handicapped youngsters and others who are different.
The project is sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center (whose founder once delivered a W.E. "Ned" Chilton III Leadership Lecture in Charleston) to foster understanding and acceptance among dissimilar groups. A "Teaching Tolerance" effort, it's designed to reduce cruel student bullying of "outcast" youths.
But an uproar arose this year. A fundamentalist organization, the American Family Association, called the special day "a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle." The AFA urged evangelical families to file school protests and keep their children home during the late October event.
As a result, about 250 schools canceled Mix It Up Day this year. Administrators apparently decided to avoid problems and conflict.
Laurie Higgins of the AFA said: "You can't present only one side in the single most controversial debate in America today." She means that fundamentalist families and their children should be entitled to declare publicly that gays are evil and must be shunned. The AFA evidently wants evangelical youths to have freedom to taunt and denounce classmates they suspect of homosexuality.
A similar clash occurs in some state legislatures. <I>The Chicago Tribune<P> says Illinois lawmakers pondered a bill to reduce school bullying, but evangelical opposition killed it. Democratic legislator Kelly Cassidy said: "What they want is an exception for bullying gay kids -- and that's just not going to happen."
What a mess. America's free speech allows anyone to express any type of belief. That lets bigoted people voice hate of various minorities -- and even lets fundamentalist high school students call gays wicked.
The only cure we know is for multitudes of tolerant people to speak an opposite message of compassion. We hope all West Virginia schools adopt Mix It Up at Lunch Day to help children learn to understand others different from themselves.

COVINGTON — A member of the Southern Heartland Art Guild, local artist Ann Wildmon wants the community to know that if they've got an interest in art, the guild is the place for them. Wildmon is organizing a series of upcoming weekend workshops at the guild, open to those interested in art on all levels, not just those who consider themselves artists.
Wildmon said the goal is to get folks through the guild doors, located at 1132 Monticello St., at the corner of Monticello and Washington streets on the Square in Covington.
"We're trying to get people in the gallery. We've been here for 10 years and people still don't know we're here," said Wildom. The guild is a nonprofit cooperative of artists, which offers a gallery space for the participating artists to sell their work, and art classes which are open to the public.
Wildmon kicks off the workshops on Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. with a Paint Along in which class members each paint a tulip with instruction from Wildmon.
Proceeds from the class, which is $35 per pupil and includes all supplies, benefit the family of Tyler Head, a Covington teen injured during a wrestling match in December. Head and his family are currently traveling into Atlanta regularly to visit the Shepherd Spinal Center for therapy and Wildmon intends to purchase gas cards for the family.
"We hope to get them through a month or two," said Wildmon, who added that there are still plenty of spots available for the class.
Other workshops include: Beginning Cartooning with Glen Dyer, on Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Oil Portrait Sepia Underpainting, a process in which a brown paint is applied and other colors are pulled from the brown, with Ann Wildmon on Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Multi-media Painting, in which different thicknesses of paint are used to make a work more three-dimensional, with Elise Hammond on Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Fall offerings include: Multi-media Collage Basics, which uses stamping, photographs, and various paper types and treatments, with Susan Adams on Sept. 7; Color Pencil Basics, with Linda Pflug on Sept. 14; Scrapbook Journaling on Sept. 21; Photography with Phyllis Burchett on Sept. 28; and Calligraphy 101 with Ann Wildmon on Oct. 15.
Those interested may also attend Coffee with the Masters, a video lecture series on Saturdays in August from 9 to 10 a.m. at the gallery. The video series highlights great painters and artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt van Rijn and Nicolas Poussin.
Wildmon said she also hopes to set up more workshops, some geared toward children and others focused on holiday crafts.
"I'm not being paid to be the workshop director. I'm just trying to get people in there," said Wildmon.

Who says Apple's iPhone 5 is the 'most-hated smartphone'?
July 6, 2013: 9:55 AM ETProbably the same London tabloid that called Samsung's Galaxy S4 the "most-loved."
FORTUNE -- Here's what passes for tech news on ABC TV these days:
"Tough news for Apple. Research firm We Are Social names the iPhone 5 the most-hated smartphone on the market for receiving the most complaints on social media. Last year, by contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S4 was named the most-loved smartphone."
That item, which aired Friday on at least some ABC affiliates, struck me as unlikely, given that the "most-hated smartphone" is also the world's best-selling smartphone.
So I set out to try to find its source. As of Saturday morning, I was only partially successful.
Tracing the "most-hated" meme was easy enough. A half-dozen Web stories all led to the same story: A piece by Victoria Woollaston published the day before in that bastion of quality journalism, the Daily Mail. The headline:
"Apple's iPhone 5 is the most hated handset -- while the majority of people love the Samsung Galaxy S4, study finds"
Like the ABC News piece, Woollaston cited We Are Social, which according to her story had scanned Twitter, blogs and online forums following the launch of four major handsets -- Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5, Research in Motion's (BBRY) Z10, Nokia's (NOK) Lumia 920 and Samsung's Galaxy S4 -- and produced the chart above.
There is indeed a company called We Are Social, which was happy to tweet on Friday "We're in @MailOnline!"
But there was no such study on their website that I could find, and no way of determining whether the research was theirs or someone else's. (A call to their New York office went unanswered and their phone number had not yet been set up to receive voice mail.)
But taking the data above at face value, let's see what they actually say:
- "Launch day conversations" about the iPhone 5 outnumbered those about the Galaxy S4 by more than 12 to 1
- Comments with a "negative connotation" about the iPhone 5 outnumbered the Galaxy S4 by less than 2 to 1
That there was far more chatter online about Apple's newest smartphone than Samsung's does not surprise me in the least. Nor should it surprise anyone who follows the company that more of that chatter had "negative connotations," especially given the fact that the iPhone 5 came with a controversial new power socket and a new Map app that compared unfavorably to Google Maps.
But note that nowhere in the chart do the phrases "most-hated" or "most-loved" appear. That, I suspect, was the work of some genius at the Daily Mail's London office.
And that, I'm pretty sure, is how the idea made its way to American television.

Staff Writer
MIAMISBURG — Officials with Mound Laser & Photonics Center claim the uncertainty surrounding the federal health care overhaul and its excise tax on medical devices already is hurting their business, but others say the tax is being maligned.
MLPC, a laser marking, engraving and etching business at the former Mound Laboratory campus, had grown rapidly in recent years. Last year, employment reached 42 people, while revenues soared to about $5 million, largely on the strength of health care, which accounts for about 70 percent of the company's business.
But on Jan. 1, MLPC had the first layoff ever in its history, which dates back to October 1995.
It cut five manufacturing jobs to adjust to the loss of business from a California company that supplies medical devices to hospitals.
The California client stopped buying MLPC's components after hospital demand for those devices drastically declined and the California supplier was left with a surplus.
Dr. Larry Dosser, MLPC's president and CEO, admits he doesn't know for sure why the backlog developed. But he assigns part of the blame to the health care overhaul, including a 2.3 percent excise tax that he claims is making the United States a less hospitable place for manufacturing.
After losing much of the region's automotive manufacturing base, "now we're going to lose the medical device manufacturing," Dosser said. "How much more manufacturing base are we going to lose?"
U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville, has held up MLPC and Wilmington-based Ferno-Washington, Inc. as local reasons why the excise tax should be repealed. "By placing a tax on manufacturing, these two companies illustrate that we can render ourselves noncompetitive and lose jobs," he said.
Turner last year introduced a bill that would repeal the excise tax on first responder equipment, and he has signed on to another bill that would repeal the tax altogether.
Lauren Kulik, a spokeswoman for Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said Brown successfully pushed for the excise tax to be halved from $40 billion to $20 billion over 10 years. The tax doesn't take effect until 2013, she said, "so how can we blame layoffs now on the fact that it hasn't taken effect yet?"
Kulik also said the tax will not cause medical manufacturing to move overseas, as some have claimed. She said medical devices are taxed when they are sold to U.S. end users, regardless of where they are manufactured.
"If there's concern about medical device companies going to Ireland or Costa Rica, if they're still planning to sell back to American customers, they're going to be subject to the excise tax," she said.
Still, other medical device manufacturers think the tax will place a drag on their businesses.
"It's just one more challenge we're having to deal with in an already challenging marketplace," said Greg Blackmore, chief operating officer at Versailles-based Midmark Corp., the region's largest medical device manufacturer with more than $300 million in annual sales.
Blackmore said the excise tax would apply to about 75 percent of Midmark's global revenues. The tax could equal almost half of Midmark's profits in 2009, one of the company's less lucrative years.
Midmark does not expect to lay off any of its more than 800 employees if the tax and the rest of the health care overhaul survive a U.S. Supreme Court ruling later this year.
The 2.3 percent tax targets medical device manufacturers in part because it was thought they would gain more business as a result of more people having health insurance.
"This is increasing business by expanding their customer base," Kulik said of the health care overhaul.
But Blackmore doesn't think the clinicians and others who buy Midmark's products will purchase more as more people get health insurance. Instead, he predicted, they'll be forced to become more efficient and make do with the equipment they have.
"We're not going to benefit from it," Blackmore said.
Dosser and Kevin Hartke, MLPC's vice president of operations, said they would prefer elected officials pay greater attention to tort reform, which they say could cut the liability costs built into the price of medical devices.
"Let's look at the expense side and start there first," Dosser said.

The God's Politics blog seeks to run a variety of opinions on important issues of faith, politics, and culture. Unlike pieces by Jim Wallis and Sojourners staff, other opinions expressed on this blog do not necessarily represent the position of Sojourners.
Trey Pearson, front man and creative mind behind the band, Everyday Sunday, is in many ways the picture of a successful Contemporary Christian Music artist. He's toured the world, played to thousands of fans at a time and sold hundreds of thousands of records. So I was intrigued when I sat down with him at the recent Wild Goose Festival in North Carolina to learn more about why this icon of Christian pop was going solo with his most recent record.
How did you get started in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) scene?
I was introduced to the scene as a teenager, finding out that people listened to "Christian music." I started going to "Christian concerts," and was inspired to write my own songs and have a band. I was already into performance art as a teenager from doing theater, musicals, acting, and modeling for commercials, print, and things of that nature. I grew up teaching myself piano, and was intrigued by the idea of playing songs for people.
Given my background, I felt like I needed to do "Christian songs" to glorify God with my art. Long story short, after opening for several signed artists, I dropped out of college (after being on honor roll through my freshman year) to make an independent album and pursue a record deal. I went to Nashville, and knocked on doors until someone would listen. I signed a deal three months after I released my independent album.
My husband and I basically fell in love via AOL instant message conversations that led to daily email missives and then to phone calls and then, you know, to actually hanging out in person.
We knew each other in 'real' life but I was so afraid of saying something stupid in front of him that I basically ignored him, which, as it happens, is not a great way to indicate that you actually really like someone. But IM-ing made me bold.
So, in a way, You've Got Mail feels like one of "our" movies since it parallels our story just a little.
"Our" real movie is Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which is a 1957 Swedish movie about a knight returning from the crusades during the Black Death who is engaged throughout the movie in a chess match with Death, so, yeah, basically the opposite of You've Got Mail.
We were both at a "movie night" at one of our professor's homes. I'd known he was going to be there and wrote in my meticulous, OCD handwriting in my journal:
I'm so nervous because Tim Stone is going to be there and I don't want to find him attractive.
Heaven forbid I find him attractive, right? I had clearly been a little too good at "Kissing Dating Goodbye" (thanks, Josh Harris!) In those days when someone asked me out for coffee I usually responded with horror, like they'd just ask me to help dispose of a body.
The new movie about Steve Jobs is short on anything explicitly religious. Like its main character, however, it's got a thread of transcendence running through it.
The truth about Jobs and religion may be that, in this arena as in others, he was ahead of the cutting edge.
The film isn't making the purists happy, in part because it takes too many liberties with history. But it's not a documentary. I'll go against many of the reviews and say that Ashton Kutcher does a pretty good job at representing the personality found in Jobs' speeches and in what has been written about Jobs — particularly in the massive authorized biography by Walter Isaacson.
One quote in that book, from one of Jobs' old girlfriends, pretty much captures the character in the film: "He was an enlightened being who was cruel," she told Isaacson. "That's a strange combination."
As people stepped on our toes and stood anxiously in front of us, waiting to exit the crowded theater, three of us sat weeping at the close of Lee Daniels' The Butler. Even now, as I recall that moment, it brings tears to my eyes.
How do I describe the movie? Utterly intense. Remarkable. Heartbreaking. Inspiring. A genius capturing of the complexities of the Civil Rights Movement, of the history of race in America in the 20th and early 21st centuries, of presidential decision making, and of family.
I sat next to my colleague, Lisa Sharon Harper, who sobbed at the violence, tragedy, and passionate courage displayed on screen. It was a challenge. To be a white woman sitting next to an African-American woman as she wept over the suffering of her people — often at the hands of my people. It was neither her nor I who had perpetrated these specific acts, but we are certainly still caught in the tangled web of systemic racism and the histories that our ancestors have wrought us.
Even as we had waited in the theater prior to the movie's start, we spoke of serious subjects. She shared some of her lineage and the challenges of legal records that simply do not exist when ancestors are slaves or perhaps a Cherokee Indian who escaped the Trail of Tears in Kentucky and suddenly appears on the U.S. Census in 1850 as an adult. We spoke of her leadership in the church, and I encouraged her to continue speaking even though she is one of the lone women who graces the stages in front of national audiences. I told her, "You must do this so that other women who come after you can do this. You must do this for women right now. You must do this so that I can do this." We bonded over being women in ministry.
And then the separation came. I do not know Lisa's shoes — the road that she walks due to the color of her skin. I see her in all of her glory — passion, intelligence, creativity — and not in all of her blackness. Our world sees her with racial eyes.
Reza Aslan begins of his book, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, with a prescient warning: "Scholars tend to see the Jesus they want to see. Too often they see themselves—their own reflection—in the image of Jesus they have constructed" (xxxi).
I don't think Aslan had himself in mind when wrote that statement, but you should be warned: the Jesus in Zealot is Aslan's own false construction.
His central thesis is that the Jesus of history, and the God Jesus believed in, demanded violence in the face of political and religious oppression. Here's one of the relevant passages:
[F]or those seeking the simple Jewish peasant and charismatic preacher who lived in Palestine two thousand years ago, there is nothing more important than this one undeniable truth: the same God whom the Bible calls a "man of war"(Exodus 15:3), the God who repeatedly command the wholesale slaughter of every foreign man, woman, and child who occupies the land of the Jews, the "blood spattered God" of Abraham, and Moses, and Jacob, and Joshua (Isaiah 63:3) the God who "shatters the heads of his enemies," bids his warriors to bathe their feet in their blood and leave their corpses to be eaten by dogs (Psalm 68:21-23)—that is the only God that Jesus knew and the sole God that he worshipped. (122, emphasis in the original.)
The problem that I have with this passage is indicative of the problem that I have with the way Aslan constructs his Jesus. He constantly picks and chooses which verses from the Bible he uses to support his claim that Jesus was a warrior messiah whose goal was to violently overthrow the Roman and religious establishment. He peels away all passages that conflict with his construction so that he can show us what Jesus was truly like.
Well, what Aslan thinks Jesus was truly like.
Wither Walter White?
How the morality tale of a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher who transforms himself (first by desperation and then through sheer hubris) into a cold-blooded, Machiavellian drug kingpin will end is what legions of fans of AMC's Emmy-winning Breaking Bad want to know.
But after the first episode of the series' final season aired on Aug. 11, the answer to what happens to Walter White (Bryan Cranston) remains a mystery — at least for another seven weeks.
Since its debut in January 2008, Breaking Bad has taken its audience on a spiritual journey — following Walt's soul on a slow, steady descent into a hell of his own creation.
"Fleeting moments of possible restoration for Walter occur throughout the series," Blake Atwood writes in the new book The Gospel According to Breaking Bad, which was released as an e-book to coincide with the season premiere.
I love Fun.. I especially love the wacky period at the end of the band's name. But my Word doc has the green squiggly line under the two periods of that first sentence. I hate that green squiggly line — it's not fun. It's there to tell me that I have bad grammar. Not this time, Word doc! I shall right click and ignore you!
Fun.'s (okay, now there's a red line! Once again I shall ignore…) Some Nights is full of philosophical and spiritual gold. It asks questions about identity, friendship, violence, and the purpose of life. But, for me, these words stand out the most:
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she calls "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes…
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from…
Some terrible nights…ah…
I really did not like Michael Pollan's newest offering, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation. Here are three reasons why:
1. The premise feels phony and staged.
Pollan has said that he is "more at home in the garden than the kitchen" (In Defense of Food), but this modesty about his cooking skills is less than convincing to those who read The Omnivore's Dilemma, in which he prepared a highly local meal of wild pork cooked two ways, bread leavened with wild yeasts he captured himself, and a sour cherry galette with fruit from Pollan's own trees.
He's born poor. By age 6, he's an orphan. Two years later, he loses his grandfather. Yet he overcomes his circumstances, develops a reputation for business integrity and progressive views on marriage.
Then he becomes a prophet of God.
The portrait of the Muslim prophet, which emerges from a PBS documentary "Life of Muhammad," may surprise some American viewers.
Amy Ray's smile opened itself to wrap love around the couple thousand fans who'd weathered a soggy soaker of a spiritual festival to wait for their 10 p.m. Saturday set. "Y'all have advanced way past kum-bah-yah," she quipped. "That was a deep album cut."
For 90 minutes, Ray and her musical partner Emily Saliers couldn't stop praising the Wild Goose Festival crowd. It's as if they'd trekked to the misty mountains of western North Carolina just to see us render their greatest hits the new hymnal for progressive and inclusive Christianity. The stellar setlist covered all the ground, a collection of tracks both new and old spanning a career that jump-started itself in the same 1980s Georgia music scene that gave us the likes R.E.M. and Widespread Panic.
The Indigo Girls catalog knits itself into our daily lives in such a way to make them the perfect band for a campfire singalong at a radicals' revival like this. But what else was obvious here could not be pinpointed in the mere practice of song. The best-selling grassroots folk duo found something in our makeshift festival that's been true of their career — past all the great lyrics and legacy of activism, past the DIY-ethics and indie entrepreneurs' edge, past all the albums and compilations, past all the accolades — exists the chewy center of hope. We see the Holy Spirit at work in such a down-to-earth humbling and fiery fashion. The Indigo Girls headline set at Wild Goose 2013 healed the audience and sealed the festival's cultural location in a jubilant justice movement for ecumenical and evangelical convergence on the funky fringes of mainstream Christianity.

Bericap : One-piece hot fill closure
Bericap's DoubleSeal cap technology for hot fill applications eliminates finish distortion, and provides advanced tamper evidence and anti-sabotage protection, better seal integrity, easier opening, and improved savings.
Made with HDPE, DoubleSeal features a 2-in-1 outer plus inner seal in a single, liner-less cap. Instead of down pressure during the sealing process, DoubleSeal caps provide lateral, opposing force pressure from both the outside and inside. This effectively supports instead of distorts the neck, which also results in a superior seal, with virtually no leakers. The thicker walls employed to combat distortion from two-piece closures can be slimmed down dramatically.
The neck finishes in a typical 20-oz. hot fill container are about 95/1000-in. thick. Depending on the customer's filling process, Bericap can reduce it to 50/1000-in.--nearly 50% less with no sealing problems. This saves about three grams of plastic, or 10% of the 30 gram total in a typical 20-oz. bottle.
Most traditional two-piece closures break at a 20% rotation point, but with DoubleSeal it is in excess of 120%. The liner-less technology offers similar sealing advantages in cold fill, water, and other applications. This system fits smoothly into existing hot fill operations with very little capital investment. Changeover from two-piece equipment can be accomplished with very little production downtime, typically in less than a day.
Output quality is further assured by the injection-molded production of DoubleSeal caps. Unlike compression molding two-piece closure shells that are used with liners, injection molding provides much more control over critical features, ensuring dimensional stability and the integrity of every cap.

Kochia control in corn and grain sorghum
* An HPPD herbicide. Examples of HPPD herbicides include Lexar EZ or Lumax EZ (premixes of Callisto, Dual II Magnum, and atrazine), Corvus (a premix of Balance Flexx and thiencarbazone methyl), and Balance Flexx. Corvus and Balance Flexx should be mixed with atrazine.
* Verdict, which is a Kixor-powered combination of Sharpen and Outlook herbicides, has activity; however, the residual may be a little too short. Verdict should be mixed with atrazine.
Balance Flexx, and Corvus cannot be applied on coarse-textured soils with shallow (25 feet or less) groundwater. Always consult the labels for details.
If kochia becomes a problem after the corn has emerged, there are several postemergence herbicide options. In Roundup Ready corn, glyphosate should be used even though resistant populations of kochia may be present. It is also a good idea to add one or more herbicides with a different mode of action to the glyphosate. This will not only help control any glyphosate-resistant populations present, but will also help prevent the development of glyphosate-resistant populations of kochia where such populations do not yet exist.
Possible glyphosate tankmix partners would include Status, Impact/Armezon, Callisto, Laudis, Starane, Starane NXT, or Starane Ultra. If an HPPD-containing herbicide was used in the preemergence application (Lexar, Lumax, Corvus, or Balance Flexx), it would be a good idea not to use this mode of action in the postemergence treatment to help reduce the chances of HPPD-resistant weeds developing. Another option in Roundup Ready corn is Halex GT plus atrazine. Halex GT is a premix consisting of a high rate of glyphosate, Dual II Magnum, and Callisto. Atrazine should be added to this product to get the best season-long control of kochia. With Impact, Callisto, Capreno, and Laudis, producers should include a half-pound of atrazine.
In conventional corn, any of those postemergence herbicides mentioned above as tankmix partners with glyphosate can also be used alone, without the glyphosate tankmix partner. Halex GT cannot be used on conventional corn since it contains glyphosate.
Liberty can also be used as a postemergence treatment if the corn is Liberty Link. Liberty alone will not control kochia, however. For kochia control, Liberty should be tankmixed with Status or other more effective postemergence products.
It should be noted that Balance Flexx and Corvus can be applied either preemergence or postemergence up through the 2-leaf stage of corn. If applied postemergence to corn, Balance Flexx and Corvus must be applied with atrazine only. No glyphosate or other adjuvants can be used. These products can do an excellent job of controlling kochia throughout the season if they are tankmixed with at least 1 lb/acre of atrazine. These products require moisture for soil activation, however they do have foliar activity.

Would be the biggest crowd in CFB history. Could be 160,000 in attendance. http://espn.go.com/college-football...ginia-tech-hokies-bristol-motor-speedway-2016
Kinda reminds me when I was at Daytona years ago... All the dale jr fans made me think I was at a Uga game or something.
One of you photo shop gurus should show how the football field fits in the above picture. I've been to BMS and believe me if you have one of the cheap seats you will probably not be in the same zipcode as the game.
It's an interesting idea. I don't see how they could possibly put the field in the middle of the in field. That "not a good seat in the house," UCLA Houston basketball game at the Astrodome would be luxurious compared to the lack of views you'd get from that setup. I think they have to do the more recent basketball in a dome style arrangement where they put the field sideways up against one of the corners and bring in temp seating along the other sideline.
Bristol is half way between Knoxville and Blacksburg. They will definetely sell this place out. It will be an event. But not a good seat in the house. Bring your binoculars.
Ray, Virginia Tech can put 100K in by themselves. There is a very long waiting list for season tickets at Lane. And they are really no worse than we are this year. Indeed, there probably isn't a team that is more similar to Florida this year. I'm sure you would think Florida could fill it if the speedway was in, say, Sebring. They went 7-6 last year. We went 7-6 in 2011. Every team has a bad year occasionally. But their program, like ours, is rock solid. Don't expect Tennessee to stay down, either. Their program is far too storied. If the right coach comes in and wins, those 107,000 seats at Neyland will fill up fast. Heck, we struggle to fill up the Swamp, and we've won 17 of our last 21 games. A game at Bristol would fill up just for the event. VT should have gone to the SEC instead of Mizzou. The VT-Tennessee game would be an instant rivalry, and they could make Texas A&M a perfect cross-divisional rivalry, as both schools are the last two schools with a large active Corps of Cadets. VT is more SEC than most SEC teams in philosophy, attitude, fanbase, and stadium atmosphere.
Excellent point. Historically, they have been a stronger football program than Mizzou. Now, basketball is another story...but that's for a different forum.
