King Abdullah seems to GET IT about how to deal with the crisis at the pumps...while our friends in the majority on the Hill continue to have no freaking clue. From The Independent:
Next month, the Saudis will be pumping an extra half-a-million barrels of oil a day compared to last month, bringing total Saudi production to 9.7 million barrels a day, their highest ever level. But the world's biggest oil exporters are coupling the increase with an appeal to western Europe to cut fuel taxes to lower the price of petrol to consumers.
You hear that Democrats?
Cut the freaking taxes and increase the freaking production. It's just not that hard, kids.
More below the stinking fold...
I am frankly sick and tired of reading, almost daily, about gas prices hitting a "fresh" all-time high"...especially when I have to read about just who is to blame for this mess - freaking Congress. Of course, we all KNOW who runs that disaster these days, now, don't we?
Look...I'm fine with all this environmental protection stuff, m'kay? I'm down with green...I luvs me some alternate energy too...but there is something just a snidge more pressing in our lives right now than worrying about "sticking it to the Man" running the oil companies or kissing a little environmentalist whacko butt.
Y'all remember Katrina? When she destroyed New Orleans and shut down a few refineries and temporarily closed several offshore rigs in the Gulf, gas blew up from around 1.69 to 3.00. We were assured it was temporary because of the obvious hit on "supply." Demand didn't change much, but we were in a pinch and we were all going to have to weather a period of harsh pressure on the flow of oil. Well that came and went, and-yep, you guessed it-prices went down...but only by a fraction...to about 2.50.
See, Democrats, if we'll pay 2.50, perhaps we'll pay 2.70. How about 3.05? 3.15? Sure, why not. Heck, let's shoot for the moon and try for 3.75? Well, look where we are now. So much for the Pelosi's nonsensical pledge for a New Direction and her straight-faced lie about energy security, huh?
While the Parties are taking pot-shots at each other over who has the best answer, we're all drowning out here. Trucks, tractors, and trains...and ALL of us would appreciate our Political heroes thinking a little more about what WE need and a little less about what might get them re-elected.
Whatever we need to do in the future to wean from fossil fuels to wind or rain or solar or whatever little "greenie goblin" these nuts come up with...we need something NOW, TODAY to address the immediate crisis. To suggest, as the Democrats do, that we need to be forced to change our behavior by making it too expensive to use gas (and thereby reduce prices somehow) is positively the most ignorant thing I have ever heard.
This Energy debate has been rightly called a charade and it is increasingly reminding me of another time in our history..

We all know how THAT turned out, don't we?
Hey-how do you think our environmentalist friends would take it if we had a Houston Barrel Party? Put a couple hundred barrels into the Gulf of Mexico to make a point? Boy howdy would they get worked up about the environmental crisis. That oil slick would sure get their attention...what the heck? Can't really do much more harm to the Gulf...

It is when you've sold your soul to the extreme environmentalists.
Here's a contrast for you: one presidential candidate refused an early release from a POW camp as a matter of honor....the other hasn't got the guts to do a series of town hall debates.
But, if we have more production and lower taxes, how are we on the left going to force people to take public transportation to go to work and have alternative energy sources like burning our food as less-efficient-but-more-expensive-even-though-federally-subsidized fuels?!

Drill. DRILL DRILL DRILL. I don't care if you have to kick a polar bear in the butt to get at the oil in the TINY ANWR area.. do it.
Build Nuclear Power Plants everywhere you can. THAT'S viable alternative power. If an area doesn't have oil, it's a great place for a nuclear power plant.
Make AFFORDABLE electric cars that get a range of a few hundred miles, that can charge in the home from said nuclear power plants.
Rather than trying to steal the profits from oil companies, LOWER their taxes as a prgoram to lower the cost of gas and diesel.
Encourage people to keep their cars tuned by allowing car maintenance and yearly tuneups to be tax deductable.

Dependence is Slavery.
Here is a link to Newt's petition on this subject. It is only a few signatures short of 800,000.
...a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right...
---Thomas Paine---
A car that get's several hundred miles on pure charge is not really that feasible today. Ford is coming out with a plug-in hybrid Escape that's capable of running 40miles on a charge and the engine helps with highway speeds and distances over 40miles. When it releases, it'll be capable of getting you to and from work for about $50 a month with gas and electric costs combined. Toyota announced a plan to do something like that with the prius, but they're a couple of years behind by now as Ford already has a test fleet out.
But sadly, he's not listening.
Hey Johnny Mac! Remember illegal immigration? WE THE PEOPLE are DEMANDING that we drill our own oil! And yet no one (except a few in the Senate & Congress) seem to be listening.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. --- John Adams
Isn't Senator McCain's plan the same as the Democrats. Which implies the Republicans have no new plan.
There is more than a President in the elections this year-regardless the O, or McC...CONGRESS writes these damn fool laws, and we have to be watching our House and Senate candidates on this issue...whoever gets PA Ave...if the Dems get veto proof majorities, buy a bicycle...

Have you tried to park it somewhere bike racks are a thing of the past. And with all the quick release crap even if there is a place to park it I have to disassemble the dang thing and carry the parts with me. Far to annoying.
A motercycle is a better choice much better chance that it will still be arround and you can park it.
Regarding comments about the Ford Escape Hybrid, it's just not a very good vehicle, period. Check out the GM Volt. It's an all electric drivetrain. It plugs in, runs off of electric only for 40 or so miles, then when the battery hits a certain level, the small gas engine kicks in to charge the battery and feed electricity to the drivetrain. None of the crappy dual drivetrain stuff the Prius or the Escape has.
The Volt will get over 500 miles on a tank.
Anyway, regarding fuel prices and such: I agree with drilling in ANWR, but I'd like to know where the gas savings estimate comes from? We have to remember that petroleum is sold on a world market, not an American one. There's a TON of oil in ANWR (anywhere from 4 billion up to about 10 billion barrels extractable) but America alone uses 20 million barrels a DAY. I just don't see the price savings suggested there unless the oil was sold only in America, which i don't think is legal to do.
Libertarian is the new Republican
And they cost between 10k and 15k. The hybrids just don't pay. Neither do the goofy electric cars.
Heck if you hold the car even for 10 years. The higher cost of insurance and interest on the money and depreciation will overwhelm the fuel savings.

-Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777
Are you factoring in the upward swing in gas prices in your analysis?
Personally, I'm curious to see how the hybrid Honda Fit turns out.
Assume one battery replacement during the 10 years for the prius and similar maintenance costs everything else (That's a gimme to the prius btw it has a much more complex drivetrain)
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
-Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777
I know that the Prius is fashionable car with the environmental edge, but the less sexy Ford Focus gets better gas mileage, costs less, will require fewer batter replacements, and most importantly, does not utilize a giant size battery that will end up in a garbage dump somewhere.

Driving 15K miles a year
25 MPG = 600 gallons of gas a year
35 MPG = 428 gallons of gas a year
45 MPG = 333 gallons of gas a year
Even a really inefficient car will only cost an additional $1500/year to operate.
Why do you think the greens still want gas taxes ?

We need more refineries, drilling, going after oil shale. We need a comprehensive plan to show the American people that if they vote for Republican, they will be significantly better off.
This isn't just cars though. We need widespread reform to nuclear power. Electric cars wouldn't be silly if we had nuclear power.
This is real change that can be delivered. It's not dependent on technology that may or may not come in the next few years (though cheap nuclear fusion will probably come eventually.) It's just pragmatic.

If the Republicans continue to let the environmentalists control this issue, they will be doomed (again). Will not be surprised though as they seem to be sooo... green these days...
Don't understand just how the greenies continue to control the agenda though with gas prices going through the roof. Must be a really great payoff to the elected group though...

Take a look at the effect Oil profits are going through the roof. Do you really think the Oil companies are upset with the greens ?

-Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777
the greens are increasing the profits of the oil companies...so yes, I would say that they might well be a cause and effect that prospers the oil companies (I know that this is contrary to the obvious effect).
Formally known as Deagle... "Golf is a way of life..."
Agendas that succeed are those that ultimately are beneficial to oil companies.
Look cap and trade got shot down like a zero over the Marianas.
But Opening up new reserves a move that would decrease the cost of oil doesn't go anywhere. That is despite a majority of Americans not caring about Caribou.

Can you say freedom of exploration! Can you say freedom of ownership... Can you say freedom of exploration of states offshore... Geez, our federal government (and federal courts) are so stupid and restrictive that it is becoming ridiculous (okay, communistic - heaven help us).
We could be energy dependent if we had pursued both nuclear and oil energy in the past (without the asinine attitudes of the greens).

drill in the US. Having to get oil from places like Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc. substantially reduces their margins.
It does play well as a concept though.
Would make a nice sequel to the pelican brief.

I also wouldn't rule out oil company influence over ostensibly green groups. Corporations usually are no more right or left than sharks.

The greens not much.

That they made huge investments and took risks 100+ years ago and do so still is why they prosper.

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." - The Chief Justice
I have to admit that I don't know much about the economy, especially on a global scale. However, I have heard that the increasing gas prices are a result of the loss of value of the dollar rather than supply and demand. (That makes sense too since it would sound odd for supply and/or demand to be changing at the same rate gas prices are.)
So while I certainly agree we do need to drill for more sources of oil ASAP, I don't think it is good to simply fix the symptoms without addressing the greater underlying problem. Current gas price increases need to be addressed as a separate matter from alternative sources of oil.
Assuming what I've read is correct, I really think we need to first address the issue of why the dollar has so little value and then do whatever is necessary to put it back up where it ought to be. Unfortunately, my lack of understanding of the economy keeps me from understanding why our currency would steadily decline so much so fast and for so long.
You are right: The dollar's loss in value is a major factor. The Arab states have long pegged their currencies to the value of the dollar, meaning that they value barrels of oil in U.S. dollars. As the value of the dollar goes down, for them to keep getting the same number of Euros or Yen, they have to raise the price of a barrel of crude by reducing output.
One of the major reasons the dollar has fallen in value has been reductions in taxes without reductions in government spending, combined with abnormally low interest rates for sustained periods of time. Research currency markets on the net, you'll find out a lot.
In short, drilling would help some, but let's be frank here. WE CANNOT DRILL OUR WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM.
Nuclear power plants are safe now, and a good immediate solution, followed by localized solar and wind investments.
Renewable energy IS national security, plain and simple.
Libertarian is the new Republican
If you are correct, Congress should acknowledge that the gas prices are the result of this imbalance in spending and attempt to correct it. Also if you are correct, whoever is responsible for interest rates should raise them. Of couse I'd have to do a lot more research to learn about it.
When mentioning gas prices, it seems like people keep trying to address tangential issues (energy supply, oil company profits) in response. If the CURRENT gas prices are not a result of less oil supply or greedy executives, it is disingenuous to connect the two. New sources of energy may be necessary, and Congress may need to raise taxes to keep up with spending; but those issues have no business being lumped together with the CURRENT rising gas prices.
This is a Oil Futures Speculator contrived price rise and not because we do not have enough oil in the market to meet demand.
Increased domestic production will be good for our Current Account Deficit, but production around the world has jumped upwards this year and so has oil prices.
because supply is tight. Efforts to increase production will pop the bubble way before the additional oil hits the market.
Just as the housing bubble eventually popped due to reality, the same will happen to the energy market.
The futures market is keying off tightness (in relation to demand) of supply. No futures market can diverge from reality for too long. Once cab drivers start buying oil contracts, the bubble will burst.
fear higher prices in the future due to increased demand, our self suicide on supply and the volatility of Iran and that the price could fall significantly if we make serious moves towards increasing supply.
Mike DeVine's Charlotte Observer columns
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." - The Chief Justice
Not knowing much about the economy, I have to admit I've never heard of an "Oil Futures Speculator." It seems to me the only way prices would go up is if some person or group of persons either needed more money to operate (as is the case with a dollar whose value decreases) or just got greedy.
"Futures Speculator," if I look at the context, would imply the latter. That is, the fear of what might happen in the future makes them want to charge people more so people will use less. That is called "hoarding." This seems a bit unrealistic to me. Of course, I could be totally off on my assumptions.
First it's oil executives, then less supply, then the value of the dollar, then hoarding. It should not be that hard to find out why oil prices are going up at the rate they currently are!
Somewhere along the line, there is a person or group of persons who either wants or needs (and will keep wanting or needing) a little bit more each and every week in exchange for oil. The ultimate reason behind that need or request is what needs to be addressed, I believe, more urgently than finding any alternative oil or energy sources.
Higher prices PREVENT hoarding. For instance, after Hurricane Hugo, the price of generators skyrocketed. Some cried gouging. But had the price not reflected supply and demand the precious few generators would have been gobbled up by a few people. The higher price spread the available supply around.
Mike DeVine's Charlotte Observer columns
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." - The Chief Justice
Of course higher demand and less supply are necessary reasons to increase the price. However, there is no increased demand or decreased supply according to what I've heard and read (certainly not proportional to the oil price increases at the current rate of increase).
I had implied from "speculation" (incorrectly apparently) that there was little actual basis for assuming increased demand or decreased supply, or that such basis was more along the lines of "what if the sky falls."
So we're back to the same issue. If a supply and demand problem is not to blame for the current rise in oil prices, then we need to address what is.
present and expected future supplies and demands.
Unless there is a monopoly.
Mike DeVine's Charlotte Observer columns
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." - The Chief Justice
Hey, I'd love to have some relief at the pump, but those savings numbers don't make any sense.
Oil from shale or oil sands is much more expensive to produce than liquid oil. How the heck does it reduce prices to bring online a production method that is significantly more costly than current methods??
If it was decided today to do the deep water drilling and oil shale production it would be several years before meaningful volumes of oil were produced. And the investment to get them in production would be gigantic. So the estimates are likely to have a huge margin of error.
How does building a multi-million dollar refinery reduce the cost of gasoline? That new refinery would be able to sell its gas into a market that is willing to pay $4.20 / gallon for gas (probably $9/g by the time the refinery came on line).
If these numbers were for real then you could save so much on production the gas would be free.
the costs associated with it. Since oil is a commodity, it is traded on a futures market. The futures market is being driven up by speculation of a reduced supply and increased demand in the future. If we signal that there will actually be an increase in supply that will lessen the pressure by the speculators. That *should* lead to lower prices.

MCLEAN CO., Ill. -- A longtime McLean County tavern will close its doors after a DUI crash killed one of its patrons earlier this year.
The decision comes after Tuesday's Liquor Control Commission meeting in Bloomington.
Mike Rickgauer, attorney for Danvers Y Inc., says the bar owner admits to serving alcohol to minors on at least two occasions.
Radley Monson, 19, pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI after he had been drinking at Danvers "Y" in February.
That crash killed 20-year-old passenger Nicholas Kaufmann and injured two other passengers.
Attorneys on both sides say revoking the bar's liquor license and shutting down the business is the best move.
"My client fully cooperated," said Rickgauer. "We showed the films of the young gentlemen drinking. We cooperated from the beginning, and there was no reason to deny it.Clearly, an underage gentleman was served alcohol, and it shouldn't have happened."
"I think if you've closed down an establishment, then you've done your job, at least in this particular set of circumstances," said Pablo Eves, Civil Assistant McLean Co. State's Attorney.
The Danvers Y Inc. lawyer says the tavern will close for business starting Wednesday morning.
He says all employees will be let go.
John Irwin, the bar owner, and Monson have sentencing hearings in August.
Monson could face up to 14 years in prison.

ECANADANOW.COM - A global shortage of products produced from pigs is expected to hit the U.K. and Europe over the next year before spreading around the rest of the world.
A combination of grain shortages leading to pig feed prices rising and European Union rules of pig welfare have hit the pork and bacon industry hard in 2012, reports the Huffington Post.
In a recent press release, the U.K.'s National Pig Association is warning that a "world shortage of pork and bacon next year is now unavoidable":
"New data shows the European Union pig herd is declining at a
significant rate, and this is a trend that is being mirrored
around the world. Pig farmers have been plunged into loss by high
pig-feed costs, caused by the global failure of maize and soya harvests.
All main European pig-producing countries report shrinking sow herds." click here to read more

Student Senate
Student government at Bethel College provides an excellent opportunity for student involvement. It is modeled after the U.S. federal government, in that it divides power between an executive and legislative branch. Student government functions independently of the college administration, though it does not assume an adversarial relationship.
The 18 elected offices, as well as many appointed positions, allow for individual initiative on issues directly affecting students. The executive branch is composed of the student body president and the student body vice-president. The Senate is composed of three senators from each class, two commuter senators, one senator from the International Student Club and one senator from the Multicultural Student Union.
General elections for freshman senators are held during September. All other offices are elected in April. All full-time students may vote and all full-time students having adequately circulated a petition of candidacy and maintaining a 2.0 GPA may run for office. Appointed positions are filled by the student body president with the consent of the Senate. Appointments are generally made in May, but may be made as needed throughout the year. Regular meetings are held twice a month.
Meeting minutes are available from the Senate secretary.
2012–13 Senators

BATON ROUGE – After posting the second-highest score in the nation with a 197.200 against Centenary, the LSU gymnastics team climbed three spots to No. 2 in the GymInfo national standings released Monday.
Junior Rheagan Courville checked in at No. 1 nationally in the all-around after scoring the highest all-around total in the country with a 39.600 against Centenary.
The team ranking is the highest ranking for the Tigers since March 21, 2005, when LSU was No. 2 in the GymInfo Top 25 with a 197.010 regional qualifying score. The last time LSU was ranked higher than No. 2 was March 14, 2005 when the Tigers were No. 1 with a 196.990 RQS.
It marks the second time Courville has held the top spot in the national all-around standings. She reached No. 1 in last season's initial rankings too after scoring a 39.500 in the all-around in the 2013 season opener.
Junior Jessie Jordan is ranked No. 3 in the all-around after scoring a career-high 39.500 Friday night.
It is the first time LSU has had multiple gymnasts in the Top 5 of the all-around rankings since March 30, 2009 when Ashleigh Clare-Kearney was No. 3 and Susan Jackson was No. 4.
In the team standings, LSU (1-0) is ranked No. 2 on vault after scoring a 49.425 against Centenary, No. 3 on beam with a 49.250, No. 3 on floor with a 49.400 and No. 10 on bars with a 49.125 score.
Courville and Jordan are tied for No. 1 in the nation on beam after posting identical 9.925's to lead the Tigers against Centenary.
Courville is No. 2 on floor with a 9.95, and she is No. 18 nationally on vault with a 9.875.
Jordan is tied for No. 7 nationally on vault with a 9.90.
Senior Sarie Morrison is tied for No. 3 on bars with a 9.925, and she is tied for No. 4 in the vault rankings with a 9.925.
Sophomore Jessica Savona is tied for No. 9 in the floor standings with a 9.90.
After scoring 9.875's on vault and bars in the season opener, junior Britney Ranzy is tied for No. 17 nationally on bars and No. 18 on vault.
Freshman Ashleigh Gnat checked into the national beam standings at No. 18 after she scored a 9.85 in her first meet as a Tiger. Her 9.85 is the highest beam score by a freshman in a season opener in LSU history.
Gnat also appeared at No. 22 in the floor rankings after scoring a 9.875 against Centenary.
Second-ranked LSU will travel to face No. 9 Georgia (0-2) in the Southeastern Conference opener on Friday. The meet is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. CT from Stegeman Coliseum.
Live audio will be available in the Geaux Zone at www.LSUsports.net/live starting at 6:25 p.m.

Autopsy results for a couple found dead in a Wayne garage this weekend will not be ready for weeks, the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office said Tuesday.
Melissa Pereira, 25, a 2011 Caldwell College grad, and Jorge Rodriguez, 24, of Garfield,
found dead inside a garage outside Perira's Wayne home at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
A medical examiner conducting the autopsies needs the results of toxicology tests before making a decision on the manner and cause of death, Passaic County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Michael DeMarco said.
The results of the test typically take two or three weeks to
come back, he said.
"The medical examiner will not make a decision until those results are known," DeMarco said. "We anticipate in two to three weeks we'll have more information and a better idea of the manner and cause of death at that time."
It is not known how long the bodies were inside the garage. The couple was reportedly together for three years and believed to be happy. Police said during the investigation there was no reason to believe they were in "jeopardy." They were last seen at Perira's home Dec. 27. They were reported missing Dec. 30.
The couple was supposed to visit a bed and breakfast in the Pocono Mountains, but they never checked in.
Pereira's cell phone had been used sporadically after the couple was reported missing but was quickly turned off each time. The couple's families have said little since the bodies were discovered.
The Wayne Police Department and Passaic County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the deaths.
A memorial service for Pereira
be held at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Caldwell College chapel.

Thread: Leave it to a Packer fan!!!!!!
Leave it to a Packer fan!!!!!!
Check this out, people............................................ ...
I am living here in Tucson, Az. so I have to go to a bar & grill that has the NFL Sunday Ticket.
Well, there turned out to be alot (28, at our last count) of my fellow Vikes fans that came to show their "Colors".
Anyway, I was sitting with a friend who is also a HUGE Vikes fan.
We were talking earlier, on how these three "A-S-S
CLOWNS" (1, a Green Bay fan wearing a Favre jersey, 2, a Lions fan wearing a Lions construction hard hat, and #3, a Bears fan, wearing a Berrian jersey).
They were all sitting together at the same table.
Anyway, I brought it up to my friend, that these idiots,(especially the Packer fan) could have been watching the Green Bay vs. Philly game.
But instead, they were all more interested in heckling us and our Vikings!
After awhile, I was getting irritated, and told my friend Bruce that I really needed something to happen, so I didn't have to be such a cordial fan(since that's how WE are.....)!
Not too damn long after that, Peterson kept his eye on the ball, and ran 60 yards for the TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Adrian was running down-field, I was standing on the rung of my chair (clearly above everyone there), and yelled "ALL DAY, BABY!!!"
"ALL DAY,.............ALL DAY!!!!!!" When Peterson crossed the goal line, a bunch of us Vikes fans were on our feet and giving high-fives.
I then said it out loud just one more time, and looked at those idiots at the other table.
Then the Packer fan says: "But what time is it; but
what time is it?"
I looked at him, and said: "It don't matter what time it is, when it's
After that, they pretty much shut their mouths.
[b]The Moral of My story:[/b ]
Shut your mouth, and get the H-E-L-L
outta the way, cuz the "A" Train is comin!!!!
Re: Leave it to a Packer fan!!!!!!
Lol.That must have been perfect timing with that touchdown pass.U guys (all 28 of you) should have just kept syaing that to those 3 guys.Like they would have the cojones to stand up to 28 guys.
Re: Leave it to a Packer fan!!!!!!
Packer fans are jerks. They would rather heckle a viking fan than watch their own game. What a waste of a football fan. I cannot wait till the next home game.
Re: Leave it to a Packer fan!!!!!!
It was definitely SWEET, but do you believe that the Bears fan actually leaned over another table and shook my hand and said:
"That was good, man!"
So, I got mine!!!!
Oh, BTW, ALL of our fans laughed their a-s-s-es off when I told #4 that!
He kinda cowered at their table after that!!!

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest.
To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case.
The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina.
Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?

Squalene is arguably the greatest anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory oil in the world! Squalane is the stable form of squalene. Squalene has a very unique ability to supply oxygen to the cells. The main use of squalane is for restoring aging skin. And the best source of it is Amaranth oil. Up to now there was no effective industrial method to extract it - until the invention of instant cold press extraction by Andreas Wecker. PubMed database reveals that: "Human sebum also contains 13% squalene as one of its major constituents... anticancer, antioxidant, drug carrier, detoxifier, skin hydrating, and emollient activities of these substances have been reported both in animal models and in vitro environments." Squalene prevents lipid peroxidation in skin cell. Lipid peroxidation refers to the oxidative degradation of fatty acids that form the membrane of every cell. Free radicals (that's all the positive ions so richly present in our indoor air) "steal" electrons from the lipids in cell membranes, causing cell damage. That means wrinkles, cancer, cholesterol - all those nasty words associated with accelerated aging. Those that have applied Squalene Oils to their ...

The human body is complex. Even the smallest, seemingly insignificant deficiency can have an enormous impact on how the body functions. For example, the body needs nutrients, and a lack of any of these essential nutrients can lead to various harmful health effects. One of these important nutrients is magnesium. Magnesium is a nutrient that is used for electrical stability in cells. This nutrient helps control important functions like digestion, energy production, and glucose metabolism. A deficiency in this single nutrient can lead to complications, sometimes even causing seemingly unrelated ailments. This includes fatigue, intestinal problems, and more. Additionally, magnesium deficiency has been associated with a variety of diseases, like heart attacks and heart failure. This means that not only can magnesium deficiency be detrimental to your health; it can eventually have fatal consequences. The following infographic gives you more details on the harmful effects of magnesium deficiency.

videos with Dr Sanjay Gupta:The mainstream media is having a hay day with the news of the rising number of people infected with the ebola virus. On the surface, this is not looking good. We could indeed be just one plane ride away from a serious outbreak, anywhere on the planet. It has been around for some time in the equatorial Africa, in Liberia, Guinea, and Nigeria. The climate probably helps, as do local customs. People hand wash their dead before burial, so transmission is almost guaranteed. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids.

RALEIGH — A day after the state House announced a compromise with Raleigh on the Dorothea Dix property, Gov. Pat McCrory voiced his support for the move while the Senate's Republican leadership attacked it as a delay in "doing the right thing."
McCrory said he wants to work with Raleigh to help create a destination park while ensuring that the state's needs, such as an office complex on the Dix land, are still met.
"We're trying to work out our differences through dialogue and consensus," McCrory said in a news conference with Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane.
McCrory is throwing his weight behind a substitute measure that passed the House judiciary committee bill Wednesday. It would allow a year to renegotiate the agreement as a lease or sale of the land, and Raleigh would also get a chance to buy a second parcel from the state – the 40-acre Governor Morehead School property directly across Western Boulevard from Dix. The state would keep 30 acres to house the Department of Health and Human Services.
McCrory and House Republicans will face opposition in the Senate, which passed legislation to throw out the lease immediately. Shortly after the governor's news conference, Senate leader Phil Berger issued a statement attacking the compromise bill.
"It is difficult to understand why they are extending an unlawful lease," Berger said. "This proposed agreement delays doing the right thing until 2014 – why not do the right thing today?"
McCrory expressed optimism that the two houses of the legislature can reach an agreement. "We hope they all go along," he said.
McCrory and McFarlane still disagree on whether the original lease is valid, but Raleigh is willing to start new negotiations following appraisals and environmental assessments. "We know there's a landfill, we know there's asbestos and lead ... that will give us a hard number to work with," McFarlane said Thursday, adding that she hopes that process will happen within six months.
McCrory said those appraisals will need to determine "what is the real fair market value." Senate Republicans have argued the value is $84 million, which was determined by a state appraisal in 2011.
McCrory also supports the inclusion of the Governor Morehead property in the park plan. "I think there's an opportunity to connect the Dix park with Pullen Park ... and the N.C. State campus," he said. But there's no plan yet to relocate the state's School for the Blind, which has been there since 1923.
"We have not gotten to that point," McCrory said.
Berger also took issue with the possible Morehead sale. "The purpose of the Senate's bill was to put the state on equal negotiating footing with the City of Raleigh," he said. "Instead the executive branch has ceded more ground."

Anyone knows the cause or the solution to the problem?

Yovani Gallardo pitched a gem on Saturday night, giving up just one run in eight innings as the Milwaukee Brewers put away the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-1. The Diamondbacks were never able to mount a serious offensive charge as Gallardo dominated, powering Milwaukee to a 1-0 series advantage in its NLDS matchup.
Below are a few of the highlights from the live-blog, which you can read in its entirety here.
In the first, Willie Bloomquist nearly notched the first run of the game, almost single-handedly manufacturing a run. He singled, stole second, then looked primed to come around for the first run of the game on a Justin Upton single. But Ryan Braun had other ideas, and threw Bloomquist out at the plate to end the threat.
So to recap: Willie Bloomquist got on base, but he was cut down when Ryan Braun made a good defensive play. Seems fair, universe. Keep it up.
As Rob Neyer noted, this at-bat, which came against Chris Young in the third, sums up Gallardo's day nicely. Everything was low and away, and Gallardo spent the afternoon hitting his spots throughout.
In the fourth, Milwaukee broke the scoreless tie, but probably should have come away with more than just one run. The Brewers loaded the bases without nobody out, but faltered, only plating one run on a sacrifice fly.
Prince Fielder's at-bat was more Wee Willie Keeler than Willie Stargell -- a cue shot just past the third baseman down the left-field line. Ian Kennedy hit Rickie Weeks with a pitch, and there the Brewers went! Bases loaded, no outs. They were off!
... and they picked up a sacrifice fly. That was it.
Milwaukee added another run in the sixth to take a 2-0 lead, and Grant Brisbee may have an idea how the Brewers accomplished such a feat.
And now ...
... there are ...
... shadows with which to contend!!!!! Right on the field! Shadows! Maybe the announcers should bring that up. It probably makes for tough hitting conditions.
An inning later, the Brewers added two more runs, giving themselves a bit more breathing room. It wouldn't be needed, though, as Gallardo turned in a gem, power Milwaukee to a 4-1 series-opening win -- Arizona's only run came on a solo shot in the eighth. With the win, the Brewers took a 1-0 series advantage, hopping into the driver's seat to open the series.

By Congressman Luke Messer Daily News
Greensburg Daily News
---- — President Obama inherited a bad economy.
Yet, we are now almost five years into his presidency, and too many Hoosiers still struggle to find a good paying job.
This week, the Associated Press released a study showing the gap between America's highest and lowest income families is wider than it ever has been. According to the study, unemployment among low income families—those making less than $20,000—now tops 21 percent. This figure nearly matches the rate for all workers during the 1930s Great Depression.
Unfortunately, the President's policies are making matters worse. Middle income workers are getting pushed into lower wage jobs, displacing the working poor. The average length of time on unemployment for U.S. workers is almost 40 weeks—its highest level since World War II. Today, a record 46 million Americans live in poverty.
Despite the clear need to create jobs, the President's programs often erase them. He has proposed raising taxes, increasing spending, hiking borrowing, and adding new regulations, all of which discourage economic growth and deter employers from hiring more workers. Overall unemployment remains too high. Many have simply stopped looking for work altogether. We must do better.
Instead, the President is driving forward with the launch of his prize achievement—ObamaCare. This bad law hurts the very people who need the most help in this struggling economy. The Indiana Department of Insurance estimates that ObamaCare will cause insurance rates in Indiana to increase as much as 72 percent for those with individual plans. Part-time teachers and other school personnel throughout Indiana are already having their hours cut so schools can avoid ObamaCare taxes. Retail and restaurant workers are having their hours cut too. Some are losing their jobs altogether. Small businesses are taking a "wait and see" approach and refusing to hire new employees. The result is a mess for everybody.
Some might be willing to accept these results if the promises made to justify enactment of ObamaCare had been kept. But far too many people are losing their health care, even though they were told they could keep their coverage if they liked it. The average family premium has grown by more than $3,000 since 2008, even though significant savings were promised. Taxes are going up, though the President said no one making more than $250,000 would see their taxes increase.
Simply put, ObamaCare is not working. That's why I've cosponsored a resolution that will fund important government programs while delaying ObamaCare for a year. This will ensure normal government operations and shield individuals from this failed experiment while efforts to put people in charge of their health care continue. The government should remain open, and we should protect the American people from ObamaCare. This resolution does both.
My hope is that this delay will give us the opportunity to make common sense healthcare reforms. Healthcare costs are out of control. But the federal government should not be interfering with the most personal decisions in the lives of the American people. We need reforms that bring costs down and return health care decisions to patients, families and doctors, so that they, not government, can make choices rooted in compassion and common sense.

We are having great difficulty realizing that Labor Day has come and gone. Our calendar confirms that. But we seem to find ourselves thinking the calendar cannot possibly be right and we are really only just past the Fourth of July. Yet we cannot reconcile that thinking with the fact that the football season is once again in full swing.
Unfortunately, it is time that we make the switch from our summer projects, which this year has been working on a number of needlepoint projects, to our winter projects. Winter projects include things like finishing the quilt we started earlier this year so we can give it to the Widge for her fourth birthday; scanning the family photos so they can be put on CDs for other family members; blocking a number of needlepoint projects that our grandmother did years ago so we can dole them out to other family members; and continuing work on our ongoing book project. It looks to be a busy winter ahead.
Of course, even with our many projects, we will still be keeping track of various and sundry events in the community. For example, there is a concert tonight, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. at Woodside Hall which will feature the four part harmony group, Ah Coopella. The concert is free, but seating is limited so reservations should be made by calling Deborah Ziegler at 373-7817.
We also note that the next meeting of the Literary Discussion Group will be held at 2:30 p.m.,Thursday, Sept. 26, at the Village of Cooperstown Library. The book for discussion will be "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. The discussion will be lead by Marie Rudloff. The meeting, as usual, is open to the public.
The group would also like to thank Woodside Hall for graciously hosting the Literary Discussion Group meetings for July and August. Not only was it very pleasant to meet at Woodside Hall, it was also very nice not to have to worry about parking.

"We used this as a way to get most of our family a picture of our new baby girl. It is a super lovely layout since the majority of the space is used on your picture! The sparkle text is super pretty, the very last line of text is small, and hard to read. Overall, we loved this card!"
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."
"Shortly after receiving our beautiful Christmas cards, which announced our third pregnancy, we found out that our baby had passed away in my womb. I spoke with a customer service representative whom was extremely understanding of our difficult situation. He immediately offered to reprint all 100 of our cards without the announcement of Baby #3, and at no additional cost. This exemplifies true holiday spirit and our family is very grateful. Thank you, Tiny Prints. We will be back for future purchases and will recommend your company to all our friends and family!"
"I could not decide between a traditional card and these ornaments so I ordered half and half. I am so sad that I didn't order all ornaments because they are so cute. I cannot wait to hang this card on our tree and pull it out each year. These are great quality and I am excited to send them to our friends."
"After days of narrowing my search, I'm so happy that I chose this card. They turned out wonderful and the opportunity to add additional pictures to the back allowed me to share more memories with my family and friends! I love them!"

JU announces 2011 football schedule
Related Links
Once again, the Jacksonville University football team will take its schedule to a new level in 2011.
The Dolphins, having won two of the last three Pioneer Football League titles and finishing the 2010 season ranked in the top 25, will play an all-Football Championship Subdivision schedule for the first time in program history in 2011.
"After the success of last season and not getting a bid to the FCS playoffs, we wanted to make sure that this team had every opportunity to prove itself and earn a spot in the playoffs this season," said JU director of athletics Alan Verlander. "Our non-conference schedule is going to be demanding and will give us a great opportunity to showcase our program on a national stage."
Jacksonville opens the season at The Citadel, with a road trip to face FCS playoff participant Western Illinois before hosting Charleston Southern to round out the non-conference schedule.
"This year's non-conference schedule is extremely difficult against three good scholarship programs," said JU head coach Kerwin Bell. "On top of a tough non-conference schedule, the PFL continues to get better each year and this year is no different. Dayton is back on the schedule and we also have road trips to Drake and San Diego – which are two of the most difficult places to win at in the league."
The Dolphins will play five games at home, starting with Charleston Southern on Sept. 17, followed by a three-game homestand starting with Dayton on Oct. 8, Morehead State on Oct. 15 and Davidson on Oct. 22. The game against Davidson will also serve as Homecoming. The final home game is set for Nov. 12 against Butler.
Season tickets are available now through the JU ticket office by calling (904) 256-7444 or online at JUDolphins.com.

Dear Editor:
I'm writing in support of Heather Dean's candidacy for State Representative for the 134th District. I've known Heather for the last six years as a neighbor and a fellow candidate for the RTM.
A few years back I had the opportunity to campaign door-to-door with Heather. She was running for reelection as an RTM representative. It was a valuable lesson in how an office-holder should serve their constituency. Heather engaged her constituents by asking what the Town of Fairfield is doing right and what it could do better and more specifically what could she do better to serve their needs.
This engagement with her constituents is not just during reelection campaigns but has been an ongoing process during her entire tenure as an RTM representative. Her large election wins demonstrate this commitment to her constituents.
If past is prologue, then Heather's dedicated service as a member of the Fairfield RTM will serve the citizens well if she is elected as their representative in the 134th District.
Andrew Baumgardner

Even after an inadvertent fumble by James Jones at the goal line to end the first half, the Packers offense is having a Lambeau Field day against the Redskins. Aaron Rodgers is 26-of-31 for 335 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. That's 50 yards more than Rodgers has ever thrown in a first half during his nine-year career.
The Packers lead the Redskins at halftime, 24-0, as a result of Rodgers' play, though Jones has had a pretty great game himself with nine catches for 152 yards. As much as Rodgers can take credit for Green Bay's success, one imagines Robert Griffin III blaming himself for Washington's goose egg.
The Redskins quarterback is 6-of-13 passing for 107 yards, no touchdown and one interception, while he's ran the ball one time for two yards. It is a far cry from the incredible rookie season that RG3 posted a season ago when he totaled 27 touchdowns as Washington won the NFC East title. The Redskins could be starting out this season in an 0-2 hole, and Griffin already has three interceptions on the year after throwing just five of them as a rookie.
He has also ran for just 26 yards on six carries this year after gaining 815 yards on the ground in 2012.
Is it just a bad day at the office? Is the knee injury from the playoff loss to Seattle bothering or altering Griffin's play, or have defenses figured out the zone read offense? Both that and Rodgers' potentially record-setting play will be worth watching.
He's only 73 yards shy of a career-high in yards with 30 minutes to go. Maybe the only thing that could stop the Packers QB is an appearance from Seneca Wallace if Griffin can't lead the Redskins back.

The show is presented by the Rural Alliance for the Arts and will be directed by Blank.
"On Our Way" is loosely based on Batesville and the lives of two young adults who made it big. There are many parts available for children at least 6 to mature adults, including characters in huge crowd scenes.
Auditions will be held in the Batesville High School music room Friday, April 20, from 6-9 p.m. and Saturday, April 21, from 8:30 a.m.-noon. RAA is willing to accommodate other audition times for actors out of town.
Auditioners will read and possibly dance and should bring a short song to sing.
Show dates are June 23-24 and June 29-30. Info: Regina Siefert, 934-5213.
