"The BMW Group continued to achieve record sales in May, keeping us well on track to sell over two million vehicles in 2014," said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing BMW. "Customer demand in the USA is showing solid growth, as is the Americas region as a whole, whilst Asia continues to be strong. Sales this year in Europe are also showing some signs of recovery," Robertson added.
Sales of BMW brand vehicles rose 10.0% in May with a total of 153,023 vehicles being delivered to customers (prev. yr. 139,142). Sales for the year-to-date climbed 10.9% to 722,129 (prev. yr. 651,152).
The new BMW 2 Series, which has been on sale since March, continued its strong start with sales-to-date reaching 7,842. Sales of the BMW 3 Series show continued growth with a total of 193,866 sold in the year-to-date (prev. yr. 189,830 / +2.1%).
The BMW 4 Series, which was launched on the market last October, reached a total of 35,253 units delivered in the first five months of the year. Customer demand for the BMW 5 Series, which continues to lead its segment worldwide, jumped 10.6% in May (33,213 / prev. yr. 30,027) with sales so far this year up 5.5% to total 155,733 (prev. yr. 147,551). The BMW 6 Series also recorded a solid rise in sales in the year-to-date with 11,812 vehicles delivered to customers (prev. yr. 10,765 / +9.7%).
Customer demand for the BMW X models continues to show solid growth. Sales of the BMW X1 increased by 4.9% in the first five months of the year with 67,391 units sold (prev. yr. 64,235), whilst the BMW X3 saw a 10.5% increase in demand (69,115 / prev. yr. 62,545). The BMW X5, which founded the Sports Activity Vehicle segment in 1999, continues to be very popular with customers. Sales of the third generation of the X5, which has been on the market since November 2013, climbed 62.5% in May, with a total of 12,382 units delivered to customers (prev. yr. 7,619), bringing the year-to-date sales to a total of 55,136 (prev. yr. 43,002 / +28.2%).

This decrease in sales is in line with expectations and is due to the recent model change in the core MINI Hatch model. Customer interest in the new MINI is strong and this is expected to be reflected in the retail figures from summer onwards.
Continuing its strategy of balanced sales growth worldwide, the BMW Group increased sales in all three major sales regions in the first five months of 2014.
Asia saw deliveries of BMW and MINI models increase by 19.7% to 264,094 vehicles (prev. yr. 220,576) in the year-to-date. In mainland China, sales rose 24.6% to 184,823 (prev. yr. 148,319).

COYOTE WAITS MM (Mass Market Paperback)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
The car fire didn't kill Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez—a bullet did. And the old man in possession of the murder weapon is a whiskey-soaked shaman named Ashie Pinto. Officer Jim Chee is devastated by the slaying of his good friend Del, and confounded by the prime suspect's refusal to utter a single word of confession or denial.
Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believes there is much more to this outrage than what appears on the surface, as he and Jim Chee set out to unravel a complex weave of greed and death that involves a historical find and a lost fortune. But the hungry and mythical trickster Coyote is waiting, as always, in the shadows to add a strange and deadly new twist.

APA Delays Big Tupper Development Review
Mar 24, 2006 — Officials at the Adirondack Park Agency want more information about a new resort in Tupper Lake for more information about their project. The APA issued a notice yesterday describing the Adirondack Club and Resort permit application as "incomplete." Brian Mann reports. Go to full article
$400 Million Big Tupper Plan Echoes Across Adks
Feb 16, 2006 — In Tupper Lake, the local planning commission is finishing work on new zoning rules that will govern the proposed $400 million resort around the Big Tupper ski area. The Adirondack Park Agency has also begun a review of the project. Developer Michael Foxman, from Philadelphia, hopes to build more than 700 mansions, condos and townhouses over roughly six thousand acres. It would be the biggest project in the Adirondacks in the last 25 years. Yesterday, we looked at some of the environmental questions surrounding the resort. This morning, in part two of our report, Brian Mann looks at how this project could shape development across the Adirondack Park. Go to full article
Environment Questions at Big Tupper Anything But Clear Cut
Feb 15, 2006 — The 6000-acre resort proposed for Tupper Lake would be the biggest project in the Adirondacks since the Olympic games a quarter century ago. Investors from Philadelphia want to build more than 700 mansions, townhouses and condos near the Big Tupper Ski area. This week, the company will submit their application to the Adirondack Park Agency. Conservation groups and some local residents say a plan to build "great camp" style estates on the property would damage the forest and disrupt wildlife. But as Brian Mann reports, the environmental issues aren't as clear-cut as some critics say.
Tomorrow during the Eight O'Clock Hour Brian reports on the park-wide implications of the Big Tupper Resort project. Green groups and some loggers say this development could set precedents that would alter the Adirondack backcountry forever. Go to full article

Tupper Locals Urge Careful Review of Resort
Dec 29, 2005 — Tupper Lake's town board held a public hearing last night to take comments on zoning changes proposed by developer Michael Foxman. Foxman hopes to build a seven hundred home resort near the Big Tupper ski area. Supporters of the project hoped to see a vote on the new zoning rules this month. But as Brian Mann reports, the effort to win quick approval faces growing opposition. Go to full article
"Seasonals" Enter Big Tupper Debate
Dec 28, 2005 — Town officials in Tupper Lake will hold a hearing tonight to discuss zoning changes for the proposed resort around the Big Tupper ski area. Pennsylvania developer Michael Foxman hopes to build 700 condos and luxury great camps on a six thousand acre parcel on the edge of the village. No zoning decisions will be made tonight, but board members will take public comments. A new town supervisor, Roger Amell, will be sworn in after the New Year. Officials are also waiting for recommendations from an outside consultant and the town planning board. At a meeting yesterday, the town did approve new water and sewer districts for the resort project. Meanwhile, a new group issued a statement on Tuesday urging the town to reject the zoning changes. The group calls itself "Concerned Citizens of Tupper Lake". In fact, the organizers are all seasonal residents. Many of them own camps and vacation homes near the proposed development and have been outspoken critics. The growing activism of seasonal residents has been controversial. Brian Mann spoke with Phyllis Thompson. She's a professor and administrator at a small liberal arts college in Houston, Texas, who spends part of each year at her camp on the shore of Lake Simond.

Tupper Board Blasts Draft Rules for New Resort
Dec 23, 2005 — Tupper Lake's town planning board is urging local officials to reject a set of zoning rules proposed by developer Michael Foxman. Foxman's company, Preserve Associates, hopes to develop a 700-unit resort around the Big Tupper Ski Area. The company wants to bundle the massive project into a single zoning district, governed by more streamlined planning rules. But in a report made public yesterday, an outside consultant says the rules, as drafted, would strip town leaders of control. As Brian Mann reports, planning board members have asked the town for more time to propose their own set of changes. Go to full article
Tupper Resort Hearing Goes Forward
Dec 08, 2005 — In Tupper Lake tonight locals will meet in the town hall to discuss a proposed zoning change intended to help the Big Tupper resort project.

Environmental Group Opposes Tupper Resort
Nov 03, 2005 — A pro-environment group has stepped up as the first major organization to oppose the Adirondack Club development in Tupper Lake. The Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks says large-scale resort developments like the Big Tupper project could splinter private land that has long been used for logging and wildlife habitat. Environmental groups have also raised questions about proposed large-scale developments in Jay, Old Forge, and North Creek. The association's Dan Plumley spoke yesterday with Brian Mann.

New Lake Placid Resorts Mean Competition For Mom & Pop Hotels
Jun 07, 2005 — The North Country's newest luxury resort is nearing completion in Lake Placid. Whiteface Lodge will offer hotel rooms and condominiums. There will also be a year-round ice rink, a spa and even a movie theater. Construction of another luxury hotel has just begun on the opposite side of the village. Tourism experts say more of the region's visitors are looking for this kind of high-end extravagance. But as Chris Knight reports, owners of older hotels and motels are looking for creative ways to state competitive. Go to full article
Snow Drought "A Disaster" For North Country Tourism
Feb 15, 2005 — Rain fell again yesterday across much of the North Country. The shortage of snow this winter has been brutal for anyone in the north country who likes to ski or snowmobile.

Hunter dies after falling into sinkhole
Updated On: Sep 17 2013 02:17:48 PM CDT
Pulaski County authorities say a south-central Missouri hunter died after he fell into a sinkhole while looking for a deer he believed he shot.
Sheriff Ron Long said the hunter fell into the hole, which was about 70 feet deep, on Monday evening near Buckhorn. He told his wife earlier that he was going to track a deer he hit while bow-hunting. She called authorities when he didn't return home.
Emergency personnel found his body about 3 a.m. Tuesday. Investigators believe the sinkhole opened up during heavy rains last month but the hunter didn't see it in the dark because it was behind foliage.
Pulaski County Assistant Coroner Michael McCart ruled the death accidental.
The man's name has not been released.

It was just myself and my 6 year old son (my husband stayed home as he might get Norwalk virus, seasick, or claustrophobic). My son and I had a blast and really enjoyed the cruise. This was a 4 day cruise with stops in Key West and Cozumel. We did not do any shore excursions as I am a shopper and wanted to shop.
The cabins were not ready until 1pm so we went to the Windjammer for lunch. At 1pm we were allowed into our cabin and our luggage arrived a few minutes later. I saw the porters still delivering luggage at 5pm so we were lucky to get ours so early. Even though the cabin was small we had plenty of storage for our things.
We ate in the formal dining room only once for breakfast since my son cannot do a 2 hour dinner. It was good. The other times we mostly ate in the Windjammer which I thought was excellent. There was always alot of variety and lots of desserts too. I could always get milk for my son by asking since they don't keep it out.
We also tried the burgers and pizza in the Solarium which were also good. Also, in the Solarium you can always help yourself to ice water, ice tea, and lemonade. Near the outdoor pool was a frozen yogurt machine which we visited everyday.
The Royal Caribbean singers and dancers were good. We also attended a lecture on how to shop in Key West where they try to sell you a $25 package containing a map and coupons and maybe a book. All you have to do to shop in Key West is walk down Duval street. I could not believe that people were paying money for their package. On the last night we attended a show with the Royal Caribbean singers and dancers and they were trying to sell us a DVD of the cruise. I didn't see a magician or juggler advertised on this cruise like some other posters have mentioned.
At night after dinner we would walk around the ship visiting the shops and listening to the live music in the centrum. They had some excellent musicians onboard. There was also a band that would play by the pool sometimes and they were good as well.
One evening we had our picture taken in the centrum. They were 8x10 and they wanted $20 each which I thought was expensive. I was able to bargain with the person in the photo shop and offered him $30 for two 8x10s and he let me have them for that price.
Our last full day on the ship was a sea day and they had a nacho bar by the pool which was really good. We had no problem finding deck chairs. There were plenty.
My son went to the Ocean club a couple of times and enjoyed it. They have different activities for the kids like art projects and classes.
There is no self assist with luggage in Tampa so you have to wait for your color to be called before you can leave the ship. I had asked the night before what time our color would be called. They told me 9:20am and we were called at exactly that time.
We took Tampa Bay Shuttle back to the hotel where we would stay one more day before going home. They have shuttles waiting right outside when you come out with your luggage. It cost $18 for one adult and one child to go to a hotel near the airport. I think for one adult the price would be $11 to the airport. The cruise line was advertising shuttle tickets to the airport for $19.50 for one person so it is much cheaper to book your own transportation.
This was our first cruise so we don't have anything to compare it to. My son and I both really enjoyed it and cannot wait to take another Royal Caribbean cruise.

Pre-Thanksgiving Sunday had its share of feel-good stories. It also had a few teams playing this Thursday that might have peeked ahead a bit.
Yes, the Turkey Day teams were 6-0 in Week 11, but not without some close calls.
The Lions have to be thankful for the quick healing of Matthew Stafford and the terrific story of Kevin Smith.
The Packers are grateful for the Buccaneers', er, interesting coaching decisions of Raheem Morris (check out the "Controversial call of the week" section for more).
The Cowboys are thankful for a clutch Tony Romo, a Redskins timeout and a field goal that might have angered Browns PK Phil Dawson.
Also thankful are the Ravens for a bobbled Bengals would-be TD and a few big plays by the defense down the stretch.
But let's start with Smith.
"There are a lot of great stories in the NFL, and I'm sure there are a lot of story lines today, but I think the NFL would be hard-pressed to find a better story than Kevin Smith," Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said after his team's come-from-behind victory. "He's a guy that obviously has a lot of talent but, early on in his career, was set back with a lot of major injuries."
Smith was one of 24 players the Lions worked out on Nov. 4. The fact that he was even there probably was as much a favor to Smith as anything else, plus the fact that the Lions had been cycling through running backs with Jahvid Best sidelined with a concussion. Smith had gone through his daily routine of working out, playing with his kid and waiting for the phone to ring, and the workout was the chance Smith needed to show the Lions just how explosive he was, following ACL surgery, after having landed the past two seasons on injured reserve.
The Lions were blown away with what they saw. Smith cut with authority and was in terrific shape.
On Sunday, Smith rushed for 140 yards (8.8 yards per attempt) and two TDs and also had 61 yards receiving and another score in the Lions' 49-35 win over the Panthers. The rushing total was his best ever; the receiving yards were the second-most he ever had in a game. Smith had scored twice in a game only once before, in a blowout loss to the Bears in 2009.
Sunday, Smith was the driving force of one of the strangest, ugliest 49-point efforts — worth noting: seven Lions TDs, none by Calvin Johnson — against a Panthers team that has lost 12 straight on the road. Stafford looked awful early and then incendiary late. Guess the finger wasn't bothering him anymore. Schwartz joked that a change of throwing gloves was to credit for Stafford's night-and-day performance.
Whatever the explanation, the Lions had to get this one. Not because they face the Packers in four days. But because they are battling for their playoff lives in a crowded NFC field. Eight teams in the conference are above .500.
The Lions are a frightening bunch — to themselves, the opponents, pretty much anyone. They looked about as bad as they could have in the first 1½ quarters, turning the ball over three times in their first 16 offensive plays and affording the Panthers a 24-7 edge.
That's three 17-point deficits the Lions have overcome this season, the first time an NFL team has accomplished that in a season. You can't live like this forever, but you also can't say this team doesn't have some firepower.
The Packers have many reasons to keep winning, of course, not the least of which are those pesky 49ers on their tails, and really, the Packers would tell you that securing the top seed is the goal right now, although 16-0 would ensure that.
As Packers maven Aaron Nagler mentioned on Twitter, the last time the Packers were 10-0 was in 1962 when they won the NFL championship. They lost one game that season — to the Lions in Detroit, on Thanksgiving. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an early Thanksgiving game of note.
The Cowboys are a popular pick to win the NFC East, considering their schedule. They are usually November darlings, led by Tony Romo (18-2 record in November with a 49-12 TD-INT ratio), as they typically manipulate their Thanksgiving schedule well. But the Redskins might have caught them a bit off guard, as the game was far tougher than it perhaps should have been.
Romo was great, but the Redskins had all the momentum when Donté Stallworth, catching his first TD since 2008, tied it with 14 seconds left and forced overtime. The difference, in the end, was the kicking game: Graham Gano missed a 52-yard FG attempt in overtime whereas Dan Bailey, the silent unknown rookie killer, made his 24th straight field goal, a 39-yarder, for the win.
Barely. It just shaved inside the right upright. There were people in Cleveland who thought Dawson's 38-yarder was equally as good as Bailey's kick. It took roughly the same trajectory as Bailey's kick would, and yet the officials in Cleveland called it no good. Had the Browns lost that game, we might have a legitimate controversy on our hands.
The other two Thanksgiving Day teams, the Dolphins and 49ers, made it look relatively easy. Don't look now, but the Fish have not allowed a TD since before Halloween. Don't sleep on the Cowboys-Dolphins game as a real contest.
Smith, Stallworth, and throw in Giants MLB Mark Herzlich, making his first start Sunday night. Three pretty good stories Sunday.
But the real meat of the bird here is that we're set up for a fantastic day of football in a few days.
Controversial call of the week
There's aggressive and there's asinine.
Readers of this column will note that I enjoyed Mike Smith's fourth-down guts last week, but I did not like the hubris and what I am saying is overaggressiveness by the Bucs on Sunday in Green Bay.
Raheem Morris coached a great game and a horrible game against the Packers. Morris and his staff did their best work in film study, looking at some of the crossing routes that have given the Packers trouble and isolating Charlie Peprah as someone they wanted to go after defensively.
On the other side, the Bucs forced Aaron Rodgers to move to his left a few times, contained well and kept him checking down underneath. They played aggressive, man-to-man coverage a lot of the time and were determined not to give Rodgers a soft zone to dice up, which led to him being off on some throws. Only some poor tackling by the secondary prevented a closer game.
But Morris' decisions to — not once, but twice — go for onside kicks cost his team. The first attempt, after a Bucs TD had cut the lead to 14-10 in the final minutes before the half, probably gave Morris the best chance of succeeding on such a play. Alas, Michael Koenen's attempt did not travel 10 yards, and the play failed.
But Morris, who told his team all week it would be aggressive against the Pack, did not accept that conclusion.
When the Bucs scored a touchdown with 13:07 left in the game, cutting the lead to 21-19, Morris called for a two-point conversion. He chased points when there was too much game clock left. Although Kellen Winslow should have caught the ball, that's not the point. The failure left them down two scores when — no shocker — the Packers marched down and scored a TD eight plays and 5½ minutes later.
Then came Morris' trifecta, his third coaching misjudgment. Down two again, 28-26 with 4:25 left, Morris onside-kicked again. The Packers were ready for it. They recovered. A play that has about a one-in-five chance of succeeding when it's done in surprise fashion is about half as successful as that when it's done with everyone expecting it.
"We came here to win the game," Morris said, almost defiantly, when asked about his swashbuckling style in the game.
The Bucs gave the Packers about as good a run as anyone has this season. They might not have lost because of Morris' daring approach, but it certainly didn't help them win.
The wow factor
This week's edition features the proverbial "rookie wall" and the offensive rookies who hit it in Week 11:
As the college football regular season is close to wrapping up, it's perhaps no surprise that some of the NFL's best first-year players might be wearing down a bit in their first pro campaigns.
PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain, who is in charge of PFW's weekly online Rookie Meter, which is posted late in the day each Tuesday (here's last week's edition), noted Sunday on Twitter that some of the top offensive rookies had a week to forget:
- Cam Newton had his first career four-INT game in the Panthers' 49-35 loss.
- Andy Dalton, despite almost leading his Bengals back, threw three picks.
- So did Vikings QB Christian Ponder, who also was sacked five times.
- Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (2.9 yards per carry, long run of eight yards despite a career-high 25 carries) was held in check by the Redskins.
- Julio Jones and A.J. Green, the best rookie wideouts by a mile, were both inactive this week with injuries.
Dalton made plenty of big throws in a 373-yard passing game, but he also had a crushing intentional-grounding call in the final drive. The penalty led to a loss of downs and gave the Bengals one fewer play to try to win at the end. Yes, a questionable call on Jermaine Gresham's catch cost the Bengals a touchdown. But Dalton can't make that play.
It was actually Blaine Gabbert who had the cleanest stat line of the four starting rookie QBs, with no interceptions and one sack, but he could not generate enough successful drives to get the Jaguars a win over the shaky Browns.
Von Miller and some of the defensive rookies had fine games. But not so for the skill-position guys.
The kids — on offense, anyway — have had better Sundays than this.
Entertainers and icons
We honor those Lions, the most confusing and exciting team in football:
The NFC playoff picture is dramatically different Monday with the news that the Bears, who dismantled the Lions in Week 10, might lose Jay Cutler for the rest of the regular season. Maybe the playoffs, too.
The Lions, if they play the way they did in the second half against the Panthers, could be ready to take advantage. But the first-half Lions are still very, very much of their DNA. It's what makes them the hardest team to handicap heading into the final third of the season.
Three turnovers in the first 16 plays. Matthew Stafford looking like his hand is very much injured. Horrible mistakes on special teams against a Panthers team that was awful in that department coming in. Defensive lapses, missed assignments. It was mind-numbing early.
"I mean, we understand that not everything is going to go our way. We got to make sure we limit those," Lions DT Ndamukong Suh said. "One (turnover) is OK; two and three is going to be tough. We are lucky enough to have a strong but young team and know we have the firepower to do it. (We) just reach back down and, play by play, get the job done."
Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosch led the charge defensively through most of the second half. They helped force three of Cam Newton's four interceptions with constant pressure despite the fact that the Lions were without key reserve DEs Willie Young and Lawrence Jackson. The defense allowed only seven second-half points and one drive longer than 44 yards.
The offense had six plays of 17 yards or longer in the second half and wiped out the 24-7 lead quickly. That's the power of this turbo offense, and maybe Smith's revival game (201 yards from scrimmage) can make the Lions more balanced offensively. They can't keep putting themselves in long-yardage situations, not with their awful conversion mark on 3rd-and-long plays this season.
Still, the early troubles give you pause.
"I'm more encouraged of how we finished the game after the first quarter," Lions C Dominic Raiola said. "The mental errors and the unfortunate breaks that we got, and then that all got cleaned up. Anytime you win a game in the NFL, you take it. We're talking about a team that took a lot of teams down to the wire. It was nothing different out there today. We've got to do a good job of putting this one behind us."
But ask yourself this: Do you trust the Lions? Are they the Arizona Cardinals of 2009? Or destined for a first-round flameout — or no playoffs at all?
Thursday should yield some answers.
Ten takeaways of the week
Here are 10 things I took from Week 11:
1. The Packers scored 35 points in their worst offensive performance of the season. Three touchdowns came courtesy of B.J. Raji, Tom Crabtree, and John Kuhn — at times, it seems anyone on this team can score. But the Bucs did some interesting things defensively, as I wrote above. When the Packers have gone five wide and it's not a quick throw, the pass protection has been shaky. OG Josh Sitton, in particular, has not played as well this season as last. Look for other teams to look closely at this and try to exploit it.
2. On the positive side for Green Bay, how good is Jordy Nelson? I am saying Pro Bowl-good. Greg Jennings is the de facto No. 1 receiver, but Nelson should earn an invite, too, the way he is playing. And how smart is Ted Thompson for signing Nelson to an extension before he started going off? Great move. Here's a prediction: Every white receiver who comes along in the next 8-10 drafts will be compared to Nelson, fairly or not. This kid is good.
3. What has gotten into the Dolphins? This hard-hitting defense is just the kind we thought the team could offer coming into season. But why now? Why after they had fallen from the race? Was the "Suck for Luck" talk that demeaning? Or has Tony Sparano really inspired this team? Whatever the reason, it's great coaching from a man who might not continue coaching this team but deserves a shot to be on someone's staff next season.
3. The Browns take points off the board, accepting a penalty after a made field goal, and (of course) follow it with an interception in the endzone three plays later. They also might have gotten jobbed on Phil Dawson's field goal that was ruled no good, but one he swears went through. Not Dawson's finest day. But the Browns win a strange, ugly game — something they apparently are good at. Per the NFL Twitter page, the Browns' five victories since 2009 when scoring 14 or fewer points (including Sunday) are the most in the NFL. So they have that distinction.
4. The Ravens' defensive backs played a good game against the Bengals, despite the high passing total for the Bengals. Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard and Lardarius Webb, in particular, stood out with impact plays. The Ravens don't win without those.
5. Everyone was quick to point out that Chris Johnson was "back" after last week's 100-yard rushing game, padded by some garbage-time running in a blowout. But anyone who watched Sunday's pounding by the Falcons can see that Johnson is not running with any kind of purpose. He finished the contest with 13 yards rushing on 12 carries and only 15 more yards on three catches. As associate editor Arthur Arkush pointed out as we talked during the game, it looked as though Johnson gave up on so many plays when the offensive line's holes were not huge, instead of trying to create. "We've been trying to diagnose the problem for a long time," Titans head coach Mike Munchak said. Part of it is that Johnson isn't trying as hard.
6. Think about how many QB homecomings we will have missed out on this season because of injury. We already lost Kevin Kolb playing the Eagles, and Monday the casualty was Matt Cassel against his former Patriots team. Looking forward, it's highly doubtful, based on early reports, that Jay Cutler will be on the field against the cheery Broncos fans in Week 14 in what would have been a fabulous matchup against Tim Tebow. The Josh McDaniels Bowl will have to wait for another day, it appears.
7. More on the Bears. Stealing another co-worker's line, this is when Matt Forté earns his contract, now with Cutler out. That was what PFW senior video producer Adam Anshell said to me as we sat down to tape Sunday night, and he is exactly right. Now more than ever, defenses will be designed to take Forté out — and that's not easy because he's a talented runner and receiver and the offensive line has improved markedly. But this is where he will earn his future pay, in these critical games with the QB out.
8. The Giants have to fear another late slide. It has been something of a hallmark under Tom Coughlin, getting out to a 5-2 (or better) record and then falling down the stretch, all save for the Super Bowl season, which included a rocky last few regular-season games. The offensive line has taken some blame and will take more until the Giants play a more consistent offensive four quarters. So, too, will the linebackers, who were exploited in coverage on Sunday against the Eagles.
9. Should the Panthers run the ball more? You don't want to take the ball out of Cam Newton's hands too much, but they also need a way to help out their maligned and shorthanded defense. The third-quarter offensive flops are becoming a weekly occurrence. The defense is incapable of stopping good offenses, and the special teams have had problems all season. Using a little more of their well-paid backs might make sense as Newton starts to force throws a little too much. DeAngelo Williams (who is very well-paid) and Jonathan Stewart ran effectively in Week 11, flashing shades of 2008.
10. DeSean Jackson fascinates me. On the one hand, he's the key to the Eagles' offense and he's always a home-run hitter on punt returns, even if he strikes out a lot there, too. But with him, you also get a mercurial, moody, me-first player who often will irritate his teammates as much as his opponents. Jackson's awful taunting call negated a 50-yard reception and really cost his Eagles team because he was stupid and selfish. But the Eagles also do not win this game without his big plays — including his 88 yards receiving and a critical 51-yard punt return that set up a TD. Now the decision comes whether to pay him long term. I say the Eagles will eventually pony up. Listen to the way Andy Reid talked about Jackson Sunday night, calling him a "core player," and you can get why I think that. As long as Reid is in Philly, expect Jackson to be there, too.
Top five, bottom five
My top five and bottom five NFL power-ranking votes this week:
1. Packers: Curious to see the effect of James Starks' injury. He was big Sunday.
2. 49ers: Stupid, stupid, stupid play by Dashon Goldson getting caught up in a sucker fight in a blowout against a bad team. Just dumb.
3. Steelers: Might be a different kind of break, but Ben's thumb isn't well, either. Just saying.
4. Patriots: Heading into the soft part of the schedule, but still questions about this team's long-term durability.
5. Saints: Huge matchup against the Giants Sunday. They can make a statement here.
28. Redskins: Gallant effort ends question about which QB should be next year's backup.
29. Vikings: Christian Ponder will struggle with Adrian Peterson out. But he's a tough kid who will learn from the experience.
30. Panthers: The Colts might be the last team they have a chance of holding to under 24 points this season.
31. Rams: It's more than getting Sam Bradford another receiver.
32. Colts: It's almost over.

ZEBULON — An audit presented last week showed Zebulon was clean in its financial reporting for the 2013 fiscal year. But the report named some minor areas for improvement.
In all, the audit found three reporting weaknesses, but one of them were significant.
"In the testing of credit card purchases, instances were noted in which no travel purpose was indicated, one receipt was missing and charges were made by an employee not included on the Credit Card Use Authorization Form," said a letter from Joyce and Co. accountants to Zebulon elected.
Zebulon Finance Director Bobby Fitts likened the audit's admonitions to a slap on the wrist for "minor stuff" commonly found in audits of town governments.
The omitted travel purpose turned out to be two cases in which a member of the town's administrative staff was paying to park in a downtown Raleigh deck, Fitts said.
The missing receipt was for a $9 purchase made at Walgreens for supplies for the parks and recreation department.
"Occasionally there is a receipt lost here and there, and there is a form to fill out for that," Fitts said.
Also, a police officer not authorized to use the town's credit card made two purchases totaling $109 for three-ring binders and supplies for an officer promotion ceremony, Fitts said. About 25 staff members, mostly department heads and their division leaders, are authorized users of the town's credit cards.
Fitts said town policy states a nonauthorized employee can use a town credit card with the approval of the town manager or finance director. That was done in this case, he said
Fitts said the town will work to address the areas of improvement suggested in the audit report.
"We're going to update the user authorization list and just noting that when there's sheets to turn in, be sure you write it on the receipt and file the receipt," Fitts said.
Audit highlights
Zebulon's June 30, 2013, general fund balance – or cash savings – was $6.809 million, a 3.5 percent increase since June 30, 2012.
The town collected $3,955,000 in taxes in the 2013 fiscal year – $24,000 more than in 2012 fiscal, despite the property tax base decreasing by $22.35 million.
The report shows general governmental debt of $5.093 million on June 30, 2013, up from $4.836 million in June 2012. The town's water/sewer debt as of June 30 was $1 million, a decrease of $500,000 from the prior year.

Goss International has acquired the assets of Vits Print GmbH, adding industry-leading sheeting and specialized finishing components that complement its portfolio of Goss web offset print production solutions.
Vits Print Rotocut sheeter models and Jet Web finishing products, including coaters, die cutters, prefolders and plow stations will now be manufactured at the Goss International Contiweb facility in Boxmeer, The Netherlands. The facility specializes in auxiliary components, including Goss splicers, pasters and heatset dryers, for web offset printing systems.
"Vits Print is the technology and market leader for high-speed sheeters as well as in-line and off-line finishing systems," explains Goss International president and CEO Jochen Meissner. "This sensible expansion of our core product range demonstrates our long-term focus and our commitment to providing printers with more complete, integrated web offset solutions."
Auxiliary components from Goss International and Vits Print can be integrated within Goss press systems as well as press systems manufactured by other suppliers for web offset, gravure and flexography applications, including packaging and direct mail. Vits Print products will be marketed and supported by VITS-America, Inc. in the United States and by Goss International's worldwide network throughout the rest of the world.
VITS-America, Inc., Blauvelt, New York, is not part of the acquisition.

Adamson resigns as Sheridan's mayor
Jan 6, 2014
News-Register Staff
SHERIDAN — City Manager Frank Sheridan announced at Monday night's special city council meeting that Mayor Val Adamson has resigned the position.
"I got a New Years card from him and in it he said he was resigning as the mayor," Sheridan told the council. "It was dated Jan. 2."
Adamson, the owner of Adamson's Sheridan Funeral Home and Green Crest Memorial Park, and a longtime civic leader in the West Valley community, was due to serve through the end of this year.
The council could take no action, such as accepting Adamson's resignation, because the announcement came at a special meeting, according to City Attorney Walt Gowell.
A discussion of Adamson's decision and the possible selection of a new mayor will take place when the council holds its regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.
Council President Harry Cooley will serve as acting mayor. He could be appointed to fill out Adamson's term at the regular meeting.
"I regret his decision," Cooley said. "He's been an excellent mayor. I'm going to miss his guidance."
Adamson did not attend the meeting and could not be reached afterward.

How to Clean Up a Broken LED Bulb?
- Put on leather gloves to protect your hands from glass or plastic shards. Prepare your trash bags by placing one inside another--double-bagging can prevent shards from poking through. If the bulb was very small, use plastic sandwich bags
- Sweep up larger shards of the bulb using a hand broom and a dustpan. Dump the bulb shards and metal components into the trash bags
- Tear off a strip of duct tape about six inches long. Press the adhesive side lightly to the surface where the bulb broke. This will pick up small pieces of glass that the broom left behind
- Use a hose attachment on a vacuum cleaner to suck up the rest of the bulb particles, if necessary. If the bulb was very small, as many LED bulbs are, this might not be necessary (unless fragments are in carpeting)
How to Replace a LED Light Bulb?
- Find the type, size, and color of LED bulb that you are looking for. As mentioned before, there are hundreds of different types out there and it may be difficult for you to find the exact one you are looking for. If that is the case, you may want to take your burned out bulb to your local hardware store to see if they can point you in right direction for a replacement
- Remove the old bulb carefully so you don't break it. Normally a screwdriver will be required at this point because LED lights are normally encased in something. So start by removing any encasing there is. Be sure to keep the screws that you removed however, you will need them when you put the case back on
- Read the manual for your particular LED light. Many LED lights can simply be pulled out, but other have certain ways that they connect more securely. You will need to know what kind you are dealing with, don't guess. Find the manual or instructions on your new bulb and remove following those directions
- Replace the old bulb with the new LED light. The new bulb should go in just like the old one came out. You will want to test the light before you put the encasing back on to make sure everything works and the light is the same color
- Replace the case that was over the LED lights and make sure the casing is secured tightly

- The LED bulbs give bright light and save money from cost utility

- The photos below were taken in a dark room, without pre-setting the camera or editing the photos afterwards
- Different colour temperatures of the LED bulbs can be seen on the trim of the terracotta pot and on the cactus
- The first photo the object was illuminated with cool light. The cool light is the brightest
- The second photo natural white was used, it is similar to sunlight.
- The third photo the warm white can be seen, which is similar to the color of tungsten lighting and halogen lights
The Kelvin Scale:
Colour temperature has important applications in lighting. The colour temperature of a light source is usually measured in kelvins (K) at which the heated black-body radiator matches the colour of the light source is that source's colour temperature
- Higher colour temperatures (5000 K or more) are "cool" (green-blue) color, and lower colour temperatures (2700-3000 K) "warm" (yellow-red) color

LAWTON Okla_ Immediately after Wednesday's officer-involved shooting, dozens of lawmen from Lawton police, to Comanche County deputies, to highway patrolmen scoured the surrounding neighborhood with guns drawn and accompanied by police dogs.
Read 'Wounded Suspect in Officer-Involved Shooting Identified'.
They wanted that second suspect. They even went door to door, looking for him. For some time, B.C. Swinney Elementary School was also placed on lockdown, as a precaution.
Many of the residents who spoke with 7News said they knew what was going on, either hearing it first hand from authorities on scene or seeing it on our 7News Facebook page. We also spoke with a woman who captured the aftermath on her phone.
Venis Scott captured cell phone video after hearing the shots and commotion from a nearby fast food restaurant.
"I was scared, I'm not going to lie," Scott said. "I was just getting to Taco Bell, and all of a sudden you just hear this 'Pop! Pop!'."
An officer and a suspect had gone down, and one man remained wanted. Authorities took to the streets, looking closely at houses for several blocks. Emily Jeantet's home was one of those. She said while they didn't physically come inside, they did take a peek through her windows.
"I'm scared you know," Jeantet said. "I thought, 'My God, what happened?' They had rifles, pistols and everything."
Authorities searched tunnels, ditches, and yards and talking to anyone who might be able to provide a lead. One resident said the sight of officers out in their neighborhood on a manhunt was a little too close for comfort.
"I mean it's scary," resident Angelica Hargraves said. "I'm the only one home, and you don't know where he's at."
Hargraves said at one point, she was about to pull her daughter out of B.C. Swinney Elementary School, but it was on lockdown. Officials advised her it wouldn't be a good idea.
"They said that she's probably safer sitting there than me trying to pull her out," Hargraves said.
As time went by, authorities weren't any closer to finding the suspect. As the hunt for the man went from a few blocks to a few more, Evie Davenport said she was wondering why several authorities were riding by her house. She later read on our 7News page that they were looking for a possible cop shooter.
"It's really sad to me," Davenport said. "We come from a city much larger than Lawton. We're from Tacoma, Washington, and our crime rate there isn't what it is here. That's scary and sad."
She said today's activity in near her neighborhood is one reason she has decided to leave.
"We're actually on a house hunt right now," Davenport said. "We've got an offer on another house and are moving out of this direct area, because this area seems to be the worst."
Other residents echoed the same sentiment. They'd like to move if more peace isn't spread throughout their neighborhood.

Pruning Pear Trees
I bought this place last year and have 6 over grown pear trees,does any one know how to prune them? I know its this time of year but I dont want to kill them! And have overgrown apples too. They all produced fruit last summer,but small and small amounts.I know pruning will help.Thanks Mike
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work! "
Thomas Edison
This may be of help:
Good luck, enjoy the pears and apples.
"The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Edwin Conklin, biologist
USDA has stuff on that too. Pruning may not make much of a difference this year but it will next year. Apples generally give better crops every other year is what I have found.
"Life's tough.It's even tougher if you're stupid."
- John Wayne
" We hang petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
I would prune out the center first, cutting off branches that cross other branches, but take no no more than 20 % each year.
Good Luck
If it ain't broke I ain't worked on it!!
Bill ,I'm sure had the best answer.A few years ago,Iwas living at a place that the next door neighbors had a mini orchard.They did not take care of it.[a long with a lot of other things]They were dwarf trees.Now they are 30 ft andd need major trimming.about 35 to 40 trees and I got tennis elbow from it t[enndinious??].A new neighbor said have at it.The next year not much.That was expected.This past year[last fall]WOW!!!!I had a lot of great bon-fires in January and Febuary,the year I did the trimming.But seeing all the apples and pears,peaches appriocots,it was worth it.I've sinced moved[as usall]and won't get to see how they do.Another person has since moved into the house,and I doubt they will take care of them.Once you get them half decent,takes a lot less time.I plan on planting a few pear and apple trees here at my new place this spring.Kevin I do have a couple of fruit trees and pruned them yesterday.I don't know what they are yet.Be fun to find out they are small
47 CUB[Krusty] 49 CUB[Ollie] 50 H-- PLOWS DISCS MOWERS AND lots more stuff!!Life is to short -Have fun now cause ya ain't gonna be here long!!!!
Re: Pruning Pear Trees
I'm no expert, but I have a few pear trees. I try to eliminate any v shaped limbs. they encourage disease.Also try to prune so some sun can get to the middle of the tree.To keep my fruit consistant from year to year, I remove any pears or apples that are growing closer than the width of my fist.That's the hardest thing to do,but the fruit grows bigger and there is less strain on your trees.

Re: Pruning Pear Trees
Everything that has been posted is what I try to do on the few trees that we have, and does work!!-----Thats exactly the was I pruned ours and had great results!!! thanks; sonny

Law enforcement officials are still searching for an escapee from the Delaware County Jail.
Deputies are looking for 20-year-old Timothy Reynolds, who they describe as black, 5'11" and 240 pounds.
According to Delaware County Sheriff John LeClere, Reynolds overpowered a jailer Sunday afternoon, stole his person 2003 Chevy Trailblazer and fled Manchester.
Officials located the SUV around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon outside an apartment complex on Blairs Ferry Road in Cedar Rapids. They are still looking for Reynolds.
Authorities say Reynolds has ties to the Cedar Rapids and Chicago areas.
Reynolds was in the jail on the following charges: Three counts of first degree robbery, possession of weapons as a felon, false Imprisonment, assault with a dangerous weapon, fourth degree theft, fifth degree theft, going armed with intent, and burglary.
LeClere said jailer Lynn Brunsman was the only person on duty at the jail Sunday afternoon, when Reynolds asked to be let out to use the phone. Soon after Brunsman let him out, Reynolds allegedly struck Brunsman -- possibly with the phone's receiver -- took the jailer's vehicle key and exited to the jail's garage, where he started the SUV and drove away. The jailer was taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries before being released. LeClere said another jailer happened to be in the office catching up on work at the time of the incident.
LeClere said the jail was at its maximum capacity of 12 inmates. He said the jail was built in 1967 and has been in need of security and building updates for years. He said 20 years ago there were plans to expand the building that never happened.
Officials ask anyone with information regarding Timothy Lamont Reynolds to contact their nearest law enforcement agency. Officials said Reynolds is to be considered dangerous and should not be approached.

In one sense, the Corinth community is charred, but in another, residence say they're growing closer than ever.
Shane Grant said he has only lived in the area for about six months but that everyone else has been there their whole lives.
He said strange occurrences have taken place over the past several months, but after last night, residents say they've had enough.
"We were out playing pool on the pool table and got a phone call that somebody had set a hay bell on fire," Grant said.
On the way to check that out, they saw a red glow down the street...an abandoned house was up in flames.
About 15 minutes later....another phone call....another house on fire.
"It's something that seems set up," Grant said. "It was somebody that had planned all this because in the area that it was done."
All three pieces of property are within a mile from each other.
No one lived in either house, but at least one of them had valuables inside.
Speaking for other residents, Grant is asking for answers.
"I don't know if they're trying to get attention or trying to scare people in the community, which that's what I think it is, trying to put people in fear, and it's got to the point where people in the community are fed up with it," Grant said.
He said he's afraid of what could happen next.
"Before long, even though there wasn't anybody in these places, what's going to happen when something is set on fire and somebody gets killed?" Grant asked. "That's what it's coming to."
Jasper County Sheriff Chris Sargent said his department is investigating the incident, but he refused to comment on camera.
Grant said he has this message for the person or people behind the fires:
"You're going to get caught," he said. "That's just the bottom line. It's just going to happen whether it be from law enforcement or from somebody in the community."

The Vital Records Division houses birth certificates dating back to August 1874. Birth records become public 100 years after the date of birth. Immediate family members (mother, father, sister and brother) may request a copy of birth certificates. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other relatives cannot obtain a birth certificate from Vital Records prior to the record becoming public, unless the Approval Guidelines [PDF] are met.
Vital Records issues long form certified copies of birth certificates. Please contact:
