Ok, I just got the kind folks at Profane Existence to post another call out for the first issue of The Country Grind and our Indiegogo fundraiser. It was posted about 40 minutes ago and I've already gotten 5 emails about it and it's been reposted on facebook 38 times. That's like once every minute!
This is awesome news for The Grind, because we're still trying to get ourselves out there, but this means a fuck of a lot of work for me for the next week or so. And this is not exactly the best time for me. Tomorrow I'm taking my written test for my class 1 drivers license (yes, these crazy fools are going to allow me to drive a semi, legally) Friday I have an electrical exam, Monday I have a hydraulics exam , and later next week I have a drafting exam.
So basically I'm saying that I'm expecting to get swamped with emails in the next little bit, and it may take me a little while to sift through them all, so just bare with me. I want to sign everyone up and answer everyone's questions, but it may take me a a few days to respond. We'll see.

Statoil Looks Too Cheap to Ignore
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Since reaching a 2013 high of $27.01 on Feb. 1, shares of Statoil (STO) have fallen by as much as 26%.
Investors have grown concerned about the company's near-term struggles with operating expenses and production growth. But I believe these concerns are overblown, especially given Statoil's strong history of profitability.
What's more, given this company's ability to develop energy reserves in tough locations, I believe patient investors can do well buying here on the dips.
I won't disagree that Statoil's less-than-5% gains in the trailing 12 months have been a disappointment, especially when compared to Chevron (CVX) and Exxon Mobil (XOM), which have posted gains close to 30% and 20%, respectively. But it's also clear Wall Street has exaggerated much of Statoil's near-term growth woes, especially in recent months.From my vantage point, though, I would buy this company in anticipation that management will figure out ways to turn the company's luck around. To that end, Monday's $2.65 billion deal to divest minority interests in the Gullfaks and Gudrun fields was just the beginning. The company also agreed to exit the non-core, non-operated Schiehallion and Rosebank fields, which are located west of Shetlands. This deal with Austrian oil and gas company OMV makes sense on many levels. The agreement essentially reduces Statoil's ownership stake in Gullfaks from to 51% from 70 %, while shedding its Gudrun position by 21% to 51%. The good news is that in the process management still retains Statoil's "operatorships" in both fields by virtue of its 51% ownership. What's more, this deal will help Statoil redeploy roughly $7 billion of its expenses, of which $5.5 billion will be available over the next seven years. It certainly looks as if Statoil's troubles with liquidity and production costs, which weren't really that troubling to begin with, have now been resolved. It seems investors sometimes forget that this company already had a conservative fixed operating expense structure. Now, with this new deal firmly in hand, it's safe to assume things will get meaningfully better. It's tough not to like the company's prospects on that basis. This is not a situation where I am downplaying other concerns that the company has had. Unplanned outages still cause some anxiety. But this has become a story about value. I don't believe that Statoil, which is trading on par with Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips (COP) presents the extraordinary level of risk that's presumed by its recent declines.

Brands that contain dextromethorphan include Robitussin DM, Benylin Expectorant, Hold, Babee Cof, St, Joseph Cough Suppressant For Children and Vicks Formula 44 Soothing Cough Relief. There are also store brands of over the counter medications that use dextromethorphan as the active ingredient. These brands often come in tablet form as well as liquid.
Is Cough Medicine Safe for Dogs?
Only certain human over the counter cough medications are safe to use for dogs with dry coughs, and then only in small dosages. Before using human cough medicine for dogs, please contact a vet. According to "Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook" (Debra M. Eldredge, DVM, et al, 2007), the active ingredient in human cough syrups that works for dogs is dextromethorphan.
Weigh the dog. According to "Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook" the average dose is one teaspoon of medication for every 20 pounds that the dog weighs. This works out to 0.5 to 1ml. per lb. or 1 to 2mg. per kg. that the dog weighs. However, your vet may want to give a smaller dose, such as 0.25mg. per lb. that the dog weighs. Doses are given every six to twelve hours.
Dextromorphan is not approved for use in dogs. This is an off-label use of the medicine. Sometimes it can be mixed with other ingredients that are not good for dogs. Do not use if the cough medicine contains acetaminophen, paracetamol, caffeine or alcohol. The ingredient guiafenesin is safe. Don't give to pregnant or nursing dogs and do not give to dogs that have heart disease, are coughing up mucus or have a collapsed trachea.
According to "The Pill Book Guide to Medication For Your Dog and Cat" (Kate Roby, VMD, et al, 1998), symptoms of overdose include vomiting, hyperactivity, dizziness, sudden drowsiness and breathing problems. Contact the vet immediately if the dog has one or all of these symptoms.
Dextromorphan works by suppressing the dog's coughing reflex, helping lessen irritation in the throat and hopefully speed healing. Unlike many other kinds of cough medications for dogs, it does not normally make a dog very sleepy, unless there is an overdose. If the medication also has guiafenesin, then the latter medication helps to break up any minor congestion. However, since dextromorphan is given to dogs with dry coughs, such as with kennel cough or chronic bronchitis, congestions should not be a problem.

Energy for your Brain?
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Recently I have noticed a campus-wide discussion examining the pros and cons of the sale of energy drinks on campus, specifically Red Bull. Why is it that students are so passionate about having energy drinks on campus? What are effects to the human body from energy drinks?
So do energy drinks like Red Bull really have a positive effect on the brain or could students survive with out it? The ingredients in Red Bull include caffeine which stimulates mental functions such as alertness, concentration, and reaction speed, Taurine, is an amino acid and it effects the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Also included is lucronolactone, a derivative of sugar, B-group vitamins important for energy metabolism and neurological functions, sucrose and glucose, types of sugar, and alpine spring water. The amount of caffeine and sugars in these energy drinks help keep you awake and alert so that you can log increasing hours in the library. However, these beneficiary effects on cognitive performance, mood, cognitive speed, accuracy and increased alertness can be accomplished by drinking roughly 200 mg of caffeine.
According the BioMed Nutrition Journal a 16-23 ounce can of Red Bull far exceeds the amount of caffeine necessary. With the majority of students consuming energy drinks to replace insufficient sleep (67%) or to increase energy (65%), perhaps it is sleep habits that should be more of a concern. Students should also be informed that too much consumption can lead to a "crash" including headaches, and heart palpitations. If too much caffeine is getting in the way of your sleep, check out UNH Health Services's website. They have great tips and techniques to help you fall sleep.
Thanksgiving Meal Tips
Monday, November 21, 2011
So, you have been sticking to that nutrition plan and exercising every day. Everything seems to be going your way until the second to last week in November comes around. All of a sudden you throw that out the window with a feast of carbo-loading. Thanksgiving is a time to return from college and finally enjoy home cooked food. The last thing you want is someone telling you that you cannot enjoy the feast of Thanksgiving. But if you could still eat the same and keep the same waist…. wouldn't you? WebMD has tips on how to eat and stay well during the feasting.
Many families for Thanksgiving will serve the dinner around 2 -3pm. Due to this mealtime, many feel that they need to skip other meals in order to save up for the large one. This may not be the smartest choice when dining for such a large occasion. Instead, try consuming two smaller meals before the 2pm meal (two small breakfasts). If that does not suit your family well, try changing the start time is another choice.
The next method is to watch what you are eating. Subdivide your food into the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The ration of carbohydrates to proteins to fats should be 40:20:20. Choosing one meat (turkey), one carbohydrate (mashed potatoes), and one fat (pie) will eliminate the risk of overloading on each category. Once you have chosen the right foods, be sure to trim the amounts of each.
Waiting for the turkey and pies to finish cooking? Take a walk! Even a stroll around your neighborhood can be helpful, and it is a great family activity you can all do together.
Finally, savor your meal. Enjoy the food and company around you! By eating slower, your stomach is able to actually feel full. If you feel you recognize that you feel full, you are less likely to overeat.
Good food and feasting are always associated with Thanksgiving. But remember what thanksgiving is also about, spending time with people you care about and enjoying the day.
Beating the Nighttime Blues
Friday, November 18, 2011
With the constant stress of school, work, or other day-to-day events, a majority of people have a hard time shutting off their brain to get some shut eye. During finals week or feeling completely overwhelmed with other commitments, I find myself not receiving enough of sleep due my racing mind standing in the way. However, an article recently published in Women's Health, explores some remedies to calm our nerves during one of the most important times of day.
Some of the solutions were ones I have been given in the past, such as not consuming anything with caffeine close to bedtime and using specific breathing techniques when laying in bed. However, some other options such as adding pillows and taking a bath before bed, were ones I had never considered. Pillows are claimed to be " the most important equipment for working out your z's" and should be supportive, comfortable, and suitable to your sleeping style. The magazine also offers a link to finding your perfect pillow match depending on your sleeping position. When our body temperature drops, it causes the perfect sleeping conditions. Women's Health suggests us to take a hot bath or shower and lay down to allow us to cool off. Another recommendation made by the magazine is to not eat too close to bedtime because it may cause indigestion or frequent trips to the bathroom during the middle of the night; something we definitely want to avoid! Check out the rest of the article to find other simple, yet effective ways to squeeze out the most amount of sleep possible suitable to your lifestyle!
Get Fit from the Whitt
Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Are you tired of doing the same mundane things to stay in shape? Are running, cycling and hitting the weight room becoming a little less exciting every time you do them? If that is the case then you're in luck! While many students have utilized ALL that the Whittemore Center has to offer, but many surprisingly have not. The fact is that the Whitt has SO much more than simply Racquetball courts, Basketball courts, an indoor track and a weight room. The Whitt offers a whole variety of fitness classes taught by skilled professionals, Monday through Sunday. More importantly these classes are FREE for all students! To name a few, there are classes like "Tighter Assets" which focuses on lower body exercises, "Basic Boot Camp/Cycle & Stretch" which takes participants through plyometric exercises and Cycling routines and "Water Fitness" which focuses on low impact resistance exercises for the entire body (this class actually takes place in the indoor pool up at the field house). There are many other classes to partake in. It simply matters on which exercise class fits into your daily schedule. Some classes last for as long as an hour and a half and some are as short as 30 minutes. The opportunities are limitless. That being said, why not learn new dance moves from "Zumba/Hoops & Stretch" class or perhaps learn to give a proper hook and uppercut via "Cardio Boxing & Strength" class. Staying in shape should be a facet in your life that brings you happiness and empowerment. So end the ordinary and start something exciting by getting fit at the Whitt!
How much do medical procedures really cost?
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
As healthcare costs continue to increase, patients should be more aware of the procedures and the costs that linger. Every procedure and visit costs money. If a person has health insurance, it costs the patient through a co-pay and deductible if they have one. The remainder of the bill then goes to the insurance company and ultimately to employers.
But not all bills are created equal. Did you know that the same procedure can cost different amounts at different locations? This is known as cost variation.
One example of how cost variation works in New Hampshire is to look at mammograms. Mammograms are a very common procedure that can be performed at lots of locations. The cost range for a mammogram in NH is from $185 to $709. That's over a $500 difference for the same test!
But why does this cost difference matter? It matters because ultimately companies and the individuals who are insured pay for this. Companies may need to budget more to pay for their health care expenses, and then spending less in other places, like salary for example.
Where can you find this information? For USNH employees, and all other individuals living in NH, the NH Health Cost websites provides cost information by procedure and location. So the next time your provider asks you to have a procedure, check out how much it really costs!
Benefits of Breakfast
Thursday, November 10, 2011
Breakfast is often coined as the most important meal of the day and should help jump-start your day. Research shows that people who consume cereal for breakfast are more likely to consume more produce and whole grains throughout the day. However, not all cereals are created equal and some can be loaded with unwanted sugar. Women's Health Magazine recently published an article that discusses what to look for in a cereal to give you the maximum benefits.
It's very easy for us to be easily convinced that cereals with impressive claims such as "made with whole grains" and "good source of calcium" are smart choices when contemplating your breakfast cereal. Although these are important aspects to take into consideration, the most important part to look at is the nutritional facts panel. Registered Dietician and American Dietetic Association spokeswoman, Sari Greaves, recommends a cereal that is less than 200 calories with 3 grams of fiber and no more than 8 grams of sugar per serving. It is also very important to pay close attention to what constitutes as a serving. As tempting as it to filling the bowl to the brim, it can cause you to consume double the amount of calories you thought you were. Greaves suggests pouring your cereal into a coffee mug as it will trick your mind into thinking your consuming more cereal than you actually are. If that doesn't do it for you, try eating with a smaller spoon. This can slow down the eating process and cut your calorie intake. Finally, it is important to address the type of milk you may be using. Women's Health suggests using skim instead of whole or 2% because it has substantially less calories and fat content.
At UNH, the amount of cereals I can choose from in the dining halls is outrageous and I can easily become overwhelmed at times. However, UNH labels all of the cereals with the nutritional content and I think the tips given by Women's Health will help me and the current students, faculty, and staff at UNH make healthier decisions when picking our cereals.
Where can we go for health knowledge?
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Chocolate is the heart's best medicine? Dark not milk. Eat it everyday but don't go overboard. Organic or not?
Sound familiar? These all too often restrictions we put on our chocolate consumption can get confusing. Some experts claim that certain types of chocolate can reduce our risk of heart disease but how much are we supposed to be eating? How can we be sure it won't offset our fitness and diet regiment?
Luckily, SPIN has come to the rescue. SPIN, also known as Students Promoting Information on Nutrition, is a club here on campus "designed to provide nutrition education to enhance the well-being of UNH students." SPIN holds many events during the school year. Recently in October, SPIN had a table set up in the Whittemore Center Lobby to address how to take care of our hearts and discuss the benefits of eating certain foods; including chocolate! SPIN also teaches students how to take a healthier look at food and how it relates their bodies. They have workshops on how to make healthy choices in your life, like navigating the dining halls and grocery stores. Visit the SPIN website to learn more about upcoming events or to request a workshop!
Green Time: Good for Your Mental Health
Friday, November 4, 2011
The great outdoors, something that UNH has plenty of. Living on a college campus with lots of green space was a major selling point for me. It not only gave the campus a beautiful look, but it also calmed me. Going to school in Boston my freshman year was quite stressful at times. I would study for exams, quizzes and create presentations, THEN go outside for some relaxation and immediately be bombarded by honking horns, speeding cars, people going here, there and everywhere. It was a lot for the senses to handle, especially after studying for 3 hours. Luckily, Boston's Public Garden by the Commons was just down the street. It was so relieving to be immersed in green grass, squirrels and fresh air. One could just forget thoughts regarding exams, quizzes, presentations etc. and just relax. Well after doing some research, I found that there is actually some psychological science behind this phenomenon.
The University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana did a research study which proved that "green space" was beneficial for inner city individual's concentration and coping ability regarding life's challenges. While we students here at UNH are not inner city individuals, we still have life challenges and absolutely need to have good concentration. So, in order to help keep yourself sane and studious, take a break. Go for a walk in college woods, hang out on the quad by T-Hall and try to catch squirrels or take a stroll down to Old Landing Rd. and skip rocks on the good old' Oyster River. Here at UNH we have outdoor resources in abundance, so use them!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Kipper!
Facts about Kipper
- Breed: Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Kipper's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Little Kipper is so well mannered, quiet and gentle. He pleads for love with his eyes! He is about a 1 1/2 years old, gets along well with other dogs and loves people. We think he is a Wheaten terrier mix. We are looking for a foster home or better yet a permanent home. Contact us today about this sweet boy. All of our dogs have been spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, had rabies, bordatella and distemper/lepto/parvo vaccines as well as been de-wormed and had flea medication applied. They come with a free vet check at Mt. Tabor Vet Care. We offer a 10% discount for seniors, veterans and students. We accept Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We don't adopt our small dogs out to families with children under 6 years of age. All of our dogs are in foster homes. We have an adoption application and check references. Pound to Posh is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving dogs from high kill shelters.
Other Pets at Pound to Posh Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kipper, a Portland Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) for sale in Portland, or seeking a Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Portland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Wheaten Terrier/Spaniel (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

What is the Debt Sustainability Framework and why was it reviewed by the Bank and the Fund?
The Bank-Fund Debt Sustainability Framework (DSF) is a standardized framework for analyzing debt-related vulnerabilities in low-income countries (LICs). It aims to help countries monitor their debt burden and take early preventive action; to provide guidance to creditors in ensuring that their lending decisions are consistent with countries' development goals; and to improve the Bank and Fund's assessments and policy advice.
This review was in response to a call by the G20 and the IMFC to make the DSF more flexible. The framework has been criticized by some as being pro-cyclical and unduly constraining low-income countries' capacity to borrow. Accordingly, it was argued that this was limiting LICs' development and growth potential and trapping them in a "low debt-low growth" vicious cycle.
It is also worth noting that the DSF, introduced in 2005, was last reviewed in 2006, and a reconsideration of some aspects of the framework was timely.
What is new about this paper?
This paper looks at ways of making the framework more flexible, so as to ensure that countries are not subject to excessively conservative borrowing policies, without compromising on the integrity of the tool.
It is important to understand that the DSF is a tool aimed at assessing a country's debt sustainability; metaphorically, it is like a "thermometer" used to take a patient's temperature. Therefore, while revising the DSF, efforts were made to improve the quality of assessment, without jeopardizing the reliability and accuracy of the tool.
The revised version of the DSF allows for greater flexibility in conducting a country's debt sustainability analysis (DSA) by undertaking a more in-depth country specific assessment of the following:
- the way remittances are taken into account in DSAs (as a measure to gauge a country's repayment capacity);
- the way external SOE debt is taken into account (and its impact on a country's overall debt situation);
- the way public investment programs are accounted for (especially, the growth dividend from public investment programs and their impact on debt sustainability).
In addition, there are a few operational issues that the paper also looks into and makes recommendations on, including:
- how changes in a country's policy and institutional assessment (CPIA) score should be treated to avoid large fluctuations in the risk of debt distress ratings when these changes breach policy thresholds;
- the discount rate used to calculate the PV of debt;
- revised content of the DSAs, with a special focus on explicitly including the views of country authorities;
- the frequency of doing DSAs.
How do the decisions affect low-income countries?
The implications of these changes will vary depending on country-specific circumstances. No country will be adversely affected, but for some countries the additional flexibility may translate into more borrowing space.
One can predict, however, that the proposed operational changes will have these effects:
- There will be less volatility in countries' risk ratings as breaches of the CPIA thresholds will occur less often than in the pre-existing framework;
- Ownership will be enhanced as country authorities will have an opportunity to explicitly convey their views in their respective DSAs;
- Over the medium term, there will be lesser demand on country resources as comprehensive DSAs will be undertaken every three years (instead of the current annual cycle).
What are the main recommendations?
On the analytical front, the paper recommends undertaking more in-depth country specific analyses in three areas: (1) how remittances may affect a country's repayment capacity; (2) how SOE debt may affect a country's debt situation; and (3) how public investment programs account for future growth.
On the operational front, the recommendations are: (1) to reduce the volatility in a country's risk assessment by constraining the way that minor changes in CPIA ratings around relevant boundaries affect debt risk ratings; (2) to implement the existing rule governing changes in the discount rate (which implies that the discount rate used in the DSAs will be reduced from 5 to 4 percent);[1] (3) to better reflect the views of country authorities in DSAs; and (4) to reduce the frequency of DSAs from an annual cycle to a three year cycle (although this will not come into effect till the crisis is over).
How do you ensure DSAs do not lead to excessive borrowings?
The DSF is an analytical tool aimed at assessing a country's debt sustainability and guiding borrowing decisions of country authorities and lending decisions of creditors. Despite the DSAs, excessive borrowing may or may not result depending on how borrowers and lenders integrate the output of the DSAs into their decisions. The possibility of excessive borrowing depends on whether or not lenders and borrowers act responsibly after the assessment has been done.
What is the operational impact of the DSF on country borrowings?
The impact of the DSF on country borrowing from IDA is two-fold. First, the DSF impacts the loan/grant composition of IDA financing. Second, through its interaction with the Non-concessional Borrowing Policy (NCBP), the DSF can have an impact on the volume and terms of IDA financing.
On the loan/grant composition, under IDA 15 a country's risk of debt distress emerging under the DSF is the only criterion to determine grant eligibility. Countries rated under the DSF as in debt distress or at high risk receive 100 percent of their allocations on a grant basis, those at moderate risk receive 50 percent of their allocations on a grant basis, and those at low risk receive 100 percent of their allocations on a credit basis.
On the NCBP, this is a two-pronged policy involving creditor outreach as well as measures aimed at borrowers to reduce the risk of over-borrowing. The second prong of the policy involves IDA responses (reductions in volumes or hardening of IDA lending terms) to episodes of non-concessional-borrowing. The NCBP, however, is not a blanket restriction on non-concessional borrowing. The policy fully acknowledges that, under certain circumstances, non-concessional loans can be part of a financing mix that helps promote economic growth and that is consistent with debt sustainability. In that regard, waivers to the policy can be considered based on country-specific and loan-specific considerations. Long-term debt sustainability, as defined under the DSF, is one of the country-specific factors to be considered in deciding whether or not a waiver under the NCBP should be granted.
How will the new process help achieve the MDGs?
To the extent that the changes will create more borrowing space for countries – i.e., the extent to which countries were indeed constrained by the DSF – the proposed amendments to the framework will allow countries to invest more and/or spend more in social programs and/or relevant public infrastructure and, as a result, foster the achievement of the MDGs.
How will the decisions be made operational?
Bank and Fund staffs are currently working on updating the Staff Guidance Note on the application of the DSF. This revision, which should be ready by the end of this year, seeks to make the recommendations operational. It will be widely disseminated so that starting next (calendar) year, new DSAs will incorporate the approved changes.
[1] The rules of the DSF require the discount rate to be changed only when the U.S.
dollar CIRR (six-month average) diverges from the discount rate by at least 100 basis points for a continuous period of at least six months. When this occurs, the magnitude of the change in the discount rate is required to be 100 basis points.

The fatal helicopter accident during the filming of a reality television show in California in February is the basis for a lawsuit filed in LA Superior Court late Thursday on behalf of the widow and children of Dominic Donatelli ... one of the cast members of the show.
The complaint names Discovery Communications, producers Eyeworks USA, Bongo Inc, Van Nuys Copters, Crossbow Helicopters and Orbic Air and others. The accident fatally injured Donatelli, as well as the pilot of the aircraft and a cameraman.
In court documents, the plaintiffs say through their attorney that the defendants "have an extensive history of knowingly failing to provide adequate safety measures for the filming of reality series such as this one." The filing says the plaintiffs "cut corners" at the expense of safety when filming such programs.
The complaint also faults Discovery and the production company for hiring pilot David Gibbs knowing he had a "spotty" safety record. Gibbs had had his flying privileges revoked in the past. The suit also claims that Gibbs and Crossbow Helicopters were "unfit to operate the helicopter" in the conditions that existed at the time of the accident.
Deadline Hollywood reports that the suit seeks "unspecified damages" for the wrongful death of the actor and the loss of financial support and earnings, as well as punitive damages.

Staff Continuum
How does Camp Ernst grow its own staff and keep members coming back? Easy! By taking the same progressive achievement program you probably already use for your campers and applying it to the staff.
Progressive Achievement Programs
"Camper, Adventurer, Mountaineer, Pioneer, Ernst Person, Ranger, Naturalist, Scout, Top Honor! Whoooo Hoooooooo!" This seemingly senseless group of words is chanted by hundreds of campers each year during the culminating ceremony for Camp Ernst's camper progressive achievement program.
Campers from ages six to 15 work on a separate level of their "Honor Log." The program ends by campers reaching the final level of "Top Honor" and being publicly recognized for their hard work. (The Honor Logs also spell out C.A.M.P. E.R.N.S.T.—pretty cool eh?).
Each log is more difficult to earn (increasing by age), and campers who achieve Top Honor are recognized for their achievement and seniority before the entire camp during the closing campfire. Every camper yells the levels of Honor Logs as the Top Honor recipients walk up steps (labeled for each level) and bang the honorary oil drum well hanging from a tree. Sound pretty weird? Well, it probably doesn't sound too weird because you are all camp people, and most of you already employ an award program like this. These programs encourage campers to come back and be rewarded for their hard work and upstanding character.
Staff Continuum
In 2000, Jon Perry, YMCA Camp Ernst's executive director, decided to take these principles and create a "Staff Continuum." Each year staff members have a new job, new title and new responsibilities.
Ages 15 to 17
For example, when campers turn 15, they are eligible to volunteer for work on Camp Ernst's crew. In this servant leadership program, crewmembers pay a minimum fee ($50) and work in the kitchens, clean the bathrooms, and help with maintenance. Believe it or not, this is one of our most popular programs. Last year we had more than 150 participants and had to turn away 30 more due to limited space. Crew serves as a great transition from campers (LITs) where camp is all about "you," to staff where camp is all about "not you."
After crew, our 16-year-olds are eligible to work on Camp Ernst's E-Team. E-team counselors are activity counselors; they are not yet allowed in cabins, but they interact with the campers by facilitating activities. Both crew and E-team still allow for lots of hangout time and community. This is good for two different reasons:they bond and form strong, healthy friendships with like-minded teens. By not having them in the cabins with kids, we are not setting them up to do something stupid and end with a Monday morning call from a parent–probably about a 16-year-old teaching campers how to start a fire with bug spray while the Head Cabin Counselor was gone. The next level is a transition to counselor-hood. Both E-team and crew have their own special "leaders" who supervise their work and serve as pseudo-counselors.
The 17-year-olds are Junior Counselors and serve as role models to the E-team in good activity counseling. If they continue to succeed, they are placed in a cabin and given very minor roles and mostly observe and learn from the older counselors. The Junior Counselor checks in multiple times a week to see which new responsibility he or she has taken on, or what his or her goals are.
Ages 18 To 20

OCALA, Fla., December 26, 2013 — Illegal immigration will be a top political issue in 2014.
With midterm elections around the corner and an enraged pro-amnesty base firmly out of the shadows, unlawful immigration will dominate Republican Party politics as well.
SEE RELATED: Jesus probably didn't rise from the dead, experts say
The political discussion rarely hits the heart of the matter, focusing instead on the politics of race. Opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens often perceived as anti-Hispanic bigotry.
"This 'perception' is false and pernicious," says Dr. Stephen Steinlight of the Center for Immigration Studies. "No solid data or body of empirical evidence suggest let alone prove bigotry motivates the great majority that opposes amnesty. It is a smear disseminated by amnesty advocates to advance their cause.
"'Immigrant advocates' lack compelling arguments to support their position. By labeling opponents 'bigots,' they rationalize refusal to debate them and camouflage fear of responding to opponents' ideas with a fraudulent moral justification. 'One Nation, After All,' an exhaustive study of American attitudes towards Third-Rail issues by Alan Wolfe, finds no evidence that bigotry plays a role in opposition to Hispanic immigration. Americans oppose illegal immigration, not immigrant ethnicity."
Indeed, standing against amnesty for illegal aliens means ensuring a bright national future.
SEE RELATED: This Christmas, the GOP has a big problem with America's Hispanic vote
"For NPG, immigration is strictly about the numbers," Craig Lewis, the executive director of Negative Population Growth, explains. "It is not a leading contributor — it is THE leading contributor to our nation's population growth. Studies have shown that immigration — legal, illegal, and the children born to immigrants — is responsible for 80 percent of U.S. population growth.
"America has an estimated population of over 11 million undocumented immigrants, with some estimates ranging to nearly 20 million. Each year, we permit over one million legal immigrants to arrive. The average immigrant family (regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, religion, or nation of origin) has more children than the average American-born citizen, and the children of those immigrants also tend to have larger families.
"The fact is simple: The United States must slow, halt, and eventually reverse our population growth to preserve an enjoyable quality of life for future generations. To do so, we must reduce our immigration levels."
There is more to illegal immigration than this, however.
"First, everyone thinks they understand the immigration system because they're descended from immigrants or know immigrants, or are immigrants themselves, just as everyone thinks they understand the tax system because they've been paying and reporting their taxes for years," says Jan C. Ting, a Temple University professor who served in the George H.W. Bush Administration. "But they don't. Both systems are immensely more complicated than ordinary citizens believe or understand.
"We have to choose between either enforcing a numerical limit on the number of immigrants we allow every year or, alternatively, having no limit on immigration as was the case in the first century of the republic. It's a binary choice. There is no third way, such as pretending we have limits, but then not enforcing those limits and instead amnestying violators of the limits whenever they attain a large number.
"I respect proponents of unlimited immigration, which is an intellectually coherent position to take. I do not respect proponents of a 'third way,' because keeping limits on the books, but not enforcing them, is intellectually incoherent and expensive beyond our means.
"I personally believe that a democratic society is morally entitled to set and enforce a limit on the number of new immigrants admitted each year. I believe we are threatened with overpopulation that endangers the economic and environmental future of the Americans already here. We already have many millions of Americans looking for work who can't find any. We face a future of advancing technology and robotics that will reduce the number of needed workers."

FALCONER, N.Y. — The Falconer Volunteer Fire Department and fire crews from surrounding communities fought a three alarm blaze at an old gas station on the village's East Side Monday night.
The call came out around 9 p.m. for a fire on East Main Street near the Falconer I-86 on-ramp. The building was engulfed in fire when fire crews arrived and eventually it caved in.
Fire officials say there were no people inside at the time and no firemen were injured fighting the fire.
The Falconer Fire Departent had assistance from eight other fire departments in getting the blaze under control.
The cause is under investigation.

World Domination: Foreign Currencies Are Here!
There's no coy way to announce this, so we'll just say it:
SmugMuggers can now offer pricing for prints, gifts and downloads in one of five international currencies.
That's right! Your visitors now get to pick their own currency when they buy stuff from your site.
How does it work?
Run (don't walk) to your galleries and click the Buy button to bring up the shopping cart. At the top you'll see a fresh new drop-down menu that translates your pricing to the five following flavors:
You can click through each one to see pricing in the shopping cart change. We'll remember the currency that's chosen and display it consistently when you view our catalog, as well as throughout shopping and checkout.
I'm a Pro. Will I make less money when the exchange rate changes?
No, your profits are safe. We talked about this when we debuted Pricelists, and this is one reason why SmugMug's custom pricing is centered around profits, not the final price.
Market crash? No prob… you'll still earn that $100 on those MetalPrints (as long as you've priced them that way).
What currency will I get paid in?
We've been paying international SmugMug Pros in various currencies since last May. Look here to see how it works so you can get paid in whichever moolah you love best.
Anything else I should know?
Here's the quick list:
- SmugMuggers of all account levels don't have to do a thing to start showing the five currencies on your site. We do the conversion automatically for each and every visitor that buys from you.
- The price your customers see on your site will adjust along with the exchange rate. This could happen daily if the market's feeling feisty.
- Pros: Your customers will see the currency they've chosen while shopping and during checkout, but for now you'll still have to set your prices in USD. We'll be adding currency support to features like Pro pricing, Coupons, Packages, etc., so please hang tight and we'll tell you when those are ready.
Whoopee! Now, where can I sell?
In case you were just too shy to ask, you've always been able to sell to anyone, anywhere in the world. We hope the new currencies will help your fans get a better idea of how much things cost.
If you want to see the full list of countries we ship to, take a look at this page here and bookmark our handy shipping info page.
What if I have an order problem?
We stand loud and proud on our 100% guarantee on all orders, and, as you know, we'll refund you – or your customer – if we can't make it right.
But if your sale doesn't work out and it was purchased in a foreign currency, please remember the refund may not be the same dollar amount due to the exchange rate differences at the time of checkout and return.
Now, it's your turn to grade us.
Questions? Comments? Feedback? You've asked for this feature for such a long time, we wanna know how we did.
This addition is just Part 1 of this year's international goodies. We know that SmugMug Pros are dying to set prices in other currencies, too, so stay tuned! We're building that next.
February 6, 2012 at 5:44 am
Excellent work guys.
February 6, 2012 at 5:54 am
Good, but not quite good enough… You should add currencies supported by PayPal… None of these five currencies are what I hoped for in this update.
February 6, 2012 at 5:57 am
Awesome! Now I will just have to wait that I can set my prices in the local currency and for self-fullfillment! Looking forward to that! Have been waiting for years! Thank you!
February 6, 2012 at 5:58 am
Fantastic! Thank you so much. This is a very big deal for me.
February 6, 2012 at 6:08 am
Many many thanks!
February 6, 2012 at 6:12 am
It would still be great if you partnered with a local print finisher. My customers will still have to elect to have the postage sent by US Mail and for many of them this is the rub. But hey, AUD = awesome.
February 6, 2012 at 6:13 am
It isn't perfect, as setting prices in local currency, and having a local Australian print lab would make Smugmug ideal, but after years of waiting it is a welcome improvement as clients may now shop without paying bank exchange rate fees on credit cards, and they see a familiar currency.
Well done guys, and thanks!
February 6, 2012 at 6:17 am
I am very happy to hear this is done.
I haven't looked at it yet but as far as how you have done – I think the biggest thing is the information blackout.
This feature has been asked for so long and for almost the entire time we didn't hear anything. I have loved SMUGMUG but after such a long time of no information I seriously considered looking at ZENFOLIO. In fact I am still considering it now. This is a shame. From the feedback I have read there must be quite a few others who could not wait in the vacuum of information any longer.
My suggestion is to provide more information on plans and progress with upcoming features or improvements.
February 6, 2012 at 7:15 am
Nice! Thank you for all the work that went into this.
February 6, 2012 at 9:03 am
I had been working on pricing a couple of galleries last week and saw this and thought maybe I was seeing things. LOL
Thanks! :) Looking forward to seeing the other 'real cool international features' you're coming out with.
— Lisa P.
February 6, 2012 at 9:23 am
This is great. I would like to see the ability to set one of these currencies as the default instead of USD… and the ability to collect tax!
February 8, 2012 at 6:00 am
Kandise +1!
February 6, 2012 at 9:52 am
Glad we're getting there but it's still unusable as it is, so we need to be clear on how to improve this for international customers:
1) Now matter how "good" the smugmug recommended labs are, people just aren't going to want to use a lab that is hundreds, thousands of miles away when they have an excellent one on their doorstep (country) or even run their own. We need to be able to add "our own lab", so people can checkout and pay, then we get the order form through with the relevent file numbers.
2) Setting prices in our own currency. I'm unsure, but others have mentioned it so I'm guessing it's not possible. As exchange rates fluctuate, as do material costs, it's important to keep things as easy as possible. So setting your prices in your native currency is also pretty essential.
That's it really. One could pick at other things, but if we could set our own prices in our own currency, and use our own lab then that would pretty much be it.
February 6, 2012 at 10:11 am
Yeah, a step in the right direction but showing prices in pounds is not very useful if they keep changing day after day. And as many other keep saying: if you want to serve internationally you *must* give us a choice of lab closer to where we sell.
I know you are working hard and stuff, but seriously guys, the "give us a european/uk lab" request has been top one in the charts for over three years, and it's been "planned" for two years already.
February 6, 2012 at 10:48 am
I think many international customers are annoyed by this, we feel like we've been ignored to an extent. It's been a long time, and nothing. So hopefully Part 2 and the near future will bring a mini revolution of sorts… Time will tell. For those that rely heavily upon print sales it's clearly not the right choice, but for me it's just a minor annoyance that adds more time to my workflow than I'd like (not having a real checkout system)… anything that saves me time is always very welcome.
@Andy: Thank you.
February 6, 2012 at 11:11 am
Richard, I understand the frustration. I know it sounds hollow, but I can promise that it wasn't ignoring you. We had to make gigantic changes in many of our systems behind the scenes in order to support many aspects of foreign currency and more labs. Those changes have now been made and we can focus on getting these features rolled out for you.
February 6, 2012 at 10:44 am
Great Start – Hooray :-)
Now waiting for Parts2, 3….. before it's practical to use it.
February 6, 2012 at 12:37 pm
Kudos to the staff of SmugMug for this monumental achievement!
I look forward to future pieces of this puzzle coming into place.
Keep up the good work!
February 6, 2012 at 2:35 pm
A great start, but we for one do all of our customer printing in-house and really need an option to still have the feature with the order coming straight to us.
February 6, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Well done guys and gals at Smugmug. Another great tool…Thank you..
February 6, 2012 at 3:52 pm
I left smugmug a few weeks ago because of the lack of international support, if being able to sell via local labs is introduced I will consider returning from zenfolio. Its been a long wait for action from smugmug.
February 6, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Fantastic! Hello world! Now to fix the addressing. The "State" drop down box still has only US states. It really should default to the states or provinces of the country nominated in the "Country" box. The "Other province" box is clumsy, confusing and can conflict with the "State" box.
February 6, 2012 at 6:52 pm
This is awesome but I still need Mexican Peso please.
February 6, 2012 at 6:59 pm
when you say "the refund may not be the same dollar amount due to the exchange rate differences", do you mean that the customer always get the same amount back (in the non-usd currency) as was originally paid (and thus that the photographer might have to remit more or less profit than was originally earned)? just checking.
February 6, 2012 at 7:20 pm
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!! this was one of the biggest reasons i didn't promot buying prints off of my smugmug site! let the promos begin!! good work smug mug!!!!!!!!!!!
February 6, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Bakit walang Pilipino Peso?
February 6, 2012 at 11:27 pm
Fantastic! I love you smugmug!
February 7, 2012 at 3:05 am
This is fantastic news guys… thanks very much! :-)
February 7, 2012 at 4:13 am
I've only just upgrade to a SM Pro account and I'm disappointed that I can't set prices in AUD, makes it a royal PITA. As others have said a local lab would also be nice. When is "Part 2″ etc coming, days, weeks, months? (also the new galleries that have been in beta for months!)
Wondering if I should cancel my Pro subscription and go back to 'power' or maybe even look elsewhere.
February 7, 2012 at 10:43 am
When will you offer printing in Europe, or elsewhere other than the USA.
Yes, my friends in Germany , Spain etc. would love to get my pictures. But they will not order all the way from the USA, as shipping is too high.
February 7, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Good job. I can't wait for the other currencies.
February 7, 2012 at 7:44 pm
Good news. Still waiting though for smugmug to find print partners in UK, AUS and Asia to cut down on shipping costs for our customers.
February 7, 2012 at 11:26 pm
how do i price my images for a world market…ie what is standard and what do u consider fine art pricing and who will decide on the later?
February 7, 2012 at 11:27 pm
AMAZING NEWS!!! thank you!
February 8, 2012 at 12:30 am
Doesn't help if I live in nz!
February 8, 2012 at 6:08 am
This is a good first step. It still requires improvements such as setting default currency other than USD.
I'm still considering moving to Zenfolio this year and i will not renew if I cannot serve my non English speaking customers. This requires the possibility to localize content in other languages (allow us or translate for us, your choice..) and the possibility to print via a European (incl. UK) printing company based in several countries.
February 8, 2012 at 6:24 am
Awesome! I've been waiting for this for a really, really long time. I've stuck to you guys because I love you and the service you provide. I understand you couldn't tell us much as it was being developed, but now that this feature is here, people should take notice. SmugMug does take our feature suggestions seriously and if it's a feature that makes sense, they will get to it eventually. There's still work to be done, but it sounds like the foundation is there now. Thanks guys!
February 8, 2012 at 6:56 am
I was happy to read this, but when I saw that the Swiss Frank is missing…it's no use for me. But who knows, maybe you'll ad it :-)
February 8, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Question: Do I do anything to the drop down or will all currency payment options automatically be available to customers? And how will they know?
February 9, 2012 at 1:45 am
Hi smugmug great step forward just hope that print problem in other parts of the world will soon follow because alot of customers turn away when thay see the shipping prices,would love to up grade to pro but waiting for this to happen,but great work thumbs up.
February 9, 2012 at 3:59 am
WOOP WOOP! Thank you so much. This just came nick of time before I left for Zenfolio. Will renew my SmugMug pro account straight away. :) This already helps a lot. Now bring on the EU based printing lab. :))))
Happy Days!
February 9, 2012 at 11:25 am
Great, good job ! Now, when will EU based printing labs be available ??
Please do it quickly (in France, …)
February 9, 2012 at 11:26 am
+1 for translation project ! I want to assure a good service for french people !
February 9, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Question; Do I have to go in my account and set up new pricing for this new currency option? Pricing still stresses me out a little when I have to deal with it….
February 15, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Great …..but what about the mexican peso……..that would be very helpful!
February 15, 2012 at 6:17 pm
I think so too, Debra! I'm also waiting for that to come…
February 22, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Please add Brazilian Real to the list. Thank you.
March 1, 2012 at 7:36 pm
New Zealand $$$ too please????????
March 23, 2012 at 11:22 pm
Great work! Now all we need is the ability to have the site in other languages!
March 24, 2012 at 2:12 am
I'd love you to add New Zealand Dollars in the next update please. I'm fine with the print lab being in the US, I just want to charge people in my own currency. We might be small, but we're getting Trey Ratcliff…. I'm sure he'd like to sell in NZ in NZD
March 30, 2012 at 7:16 pm
Can you please add New Zealand and can you join with Queensbury photojunction or some NZ lab too please lol
September 20, 2012 at 7:41 pm
New Zealand Dollar support would be great!
January 7, 2013 at 5:10 pm
Any updates on this? Really keen for New Zealand currency and print lab…
May 22, 2013 at 2:15 am
Another request here for New Zealand Dollar support to be added.

PepsiCo has reportedly strengthened its relationship with US PR firm Weber Shandwick, by briefing the latter to oversee an extension of its AMP energy portfolio that taps the brand's racing heritage.
Last year, AMP relaunched its portfolio to provide new formulas and positioning to revive sales against stronger rivals such as Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar.
In 2012 Pepsi ditched extreme names such as 'Overdrive' and 'Traction' from the AMP range, and now focuses on three function areas across seven core flavors: Boost, Active and Focus.

Scientists have discovered that marijuana doesn?t just get you "high," it actually stimulates brain growth. They want to find a way to use it to treat anxiety and depression, since some scientists believe that depression can begin when too few new brain cells are grown in the hippocampus. It may eventually be used as part of a program to treat Alzheimer's or dementia, diseases that are becoming more common as the population ages.
The key ingredient is the chemical HU-210. Neuropsychiatrist Xia Zhang says the synthetic version is 100 times as powerful as THC, that ingredient in natural marijuana. She says, "This is a very potent cannabinoid oil. It's not something that would be available on the street."

Big Game Heralds Boom Times (Sam Eifling Editor's Letter)
by Sam Eifling
Posted 12/9/2013 12:00 am
Updated 1 year ago
All right, quick story. Because it takes place in Fayetteville, there's a Razorbacks angle, naturally.
Feb. 10, 1991. I was in the sixth grade, and like every other kid (and adult) in Fayetteville, fairly smitten with the Arkansas men's basketball team. The Hogs were coming off a Final Four appearance, ranked No. 2 in the country, and hosting No. 1 UNLV, the reigning national champ. CBS was in town for the national telecast. Per big-game custom, my family was at Jose's Mexican Restaurant on Dickson Street, just off campus, probably slurping down chips and salsa as fast as the waiters could sling it.
In those days, every piece of national attention that came Northwest Arkansas' way was to be savored. This was before the business media were quite so obsessed with Walmart. It was long before the onslaught of cultural chroniclers declaring Bentonville — with its pipeline of incoming professionals and the enormous resource in the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art — a global cultural destination in the making. This even pre-dated Bill Clinton's run for the Presidency. Arkansas simply didn't warrant much notice from the coasts.
But by the winter of '91, Money magazine had named Fayetteville among the best places in the country to live — No. 7, if I recall correctly, one of the best anywhere, just like the basketball team (even after UNLV left town with the win).
The shout-out could scarcely have been more flattering. Little did we know then, it presaged a period of constant transformation. In the past generation Fayetteville's population has doubled, to nearly 80,000. The metropolitan area — anchored also by Springdale, Rogers and Bentonville — has swelled to nearly half a million people, with arrivals from Texas, southern California, Chicago, Oklahoma and all around Arkansas. People come for the pace of life, for the healthy job market, for the mild, four-season climate, for the quality schools, for the chance to afford a house and, increasingly, for the chance to create great music, food and art. To live in northwest Arkansas is to feel connected to an ongoing boom, one that, as a newcomer, you're joining.
This guide is an attempt to highlight some of the features that make Northwest Arkansas distinct. Inside you'll meet a few of the transplants who, like you, have made that move. You'll get a feel for the dining, culture, sports, pastimes and nightlife that make Northwest Arkansas a rich place to call home. And you'll find resources to help you settle, to find a good hospital and to pick the right school for your kids. Our hope is you'll start to get a sense of what makes this place here.
One caveat, though: Whatever we think we know about the area is ever-changing. You're arriving at an opportune moment, as Northwest Arkansas may only now be figuring out what it's going to become. What we do with our newfound notoriety and steady success remains an open question — one you get to help answer.
