Wednesday was a day for celebrations at Northern Illinois University…even before the undefeated Huskies crushed Ball State, 48 to 27. It was Inauguration Day for NIU president Doug Baker, and student achievement was the focus.
Alcohol may be behind the death of a Northern Illinois University freshman. 19-year-old David Bogenberger was found unresponsive in a bed at a fraternity house this morning. He was pronounced dead half an hour later.

Despite a bleak report on job numbers earlier this month, the year may end with good news for job seekers after all.
According to research released by the Associated Press earlier today, economic stress levels across the country reached an 18-month low point in October, largely due to job growth. The monthly report, which analyzes economic stress based on factors like employment levels and foreclosure rates found that, month-to-month, stress fell in 56 percent of the 3,100 U.S. counties examined. Additionally, just more than one-third of those counties were considered economically stressed, down from 35 percent in September.
Besides painting a positive picture for the U.S. economy, the report also provides valuable insight on both the industries and geographic areas that will be the best bets for job seekers in the new year.
Read on for a breakdown of the best and worst areas and industries for jobs (and click the links for jobs in each area).
If you're in the midst of a job search, you might want to start looking for work as a farmer, a stock broker or a retail salesperson. That's because counties in which a large number of jobs came from industries like farming, retail and finance, along with manufacturing, technology and insurance, had the healthiest economies and experienced the largest decrease in economic stress levels. According to the report, factors like an increase in overall U.S exports and the staying power of technology companies have contributed to the relative health of these sectors.
Since certain areas of the country lend themselves to different industries, geography also played a big part in economic health. The economy in Florida, for example, is heavily dependent on tourism – an industry hard-hit by the recession – in addition to having a small manufacturing sector. Consequently, it was the only state that had a month-to-month incline in economic stress level.
"Manufacturing is having a bit of a resurgence, and with Florida lacking a large manufacturing sector, we're not really participating in that particular uptick," Sean Snaith, an economist at the University of Central Florida, said in the AP report. "We were certainly impacted by the Gulf oil spill, and we still have high unemployment. All of these things kind of swirl into this misery stew that keeps stress high in Florida."
Despite its troubles, Florida still wasn't deemed the most-stressed state. Nevada posted the highest stress-level in October, followed by Florida, California, Michigan and Arizona.
So where should you look if you want to increase your chances of landing a steady job in a thriving industry?
According to the report, the strongest states were in New England and the Midwest, due to the prevalence of technology and manufacturing companies in these areas, respectively. Overall, the states with the healthiest economies were North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Vermont and New Hampshire.
Since the beginning of 2010, the states with the largest drop in economic stress were South Carolina, Alabama, New Hampshire, Michigan and Massachusetts. Since the AP began analyzing economic stress on a monthly basis in October 2007, North Dakota, Nebraska, Vermont, South Dakota and Alaska have had the most stable economies.
Despite the fact that the economies of some states are in better shape than others at present, things seem to be heading in the right direction for the U.S. as a whole, and may be markedly better by the end of next year. According to an ABC News analysis of the AP report, Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, forecasts "that the tax cuts will boost growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, as high as 3 percent next year, up from [a] previous forecast of 2.4 percent. That should be enough to lower unemployment to below 9 percent by the end of 2011."
Now that would be some really good news.

text: Hi guys, we have a USB stick here with about 6 years worth of work on it. When I insert it into my PC, it asks me to format it. It shows as a drive, albeit supposedly empty, but I can't access it. I've tried GetDataBack, but this just reports no file structure. I know there are companies who you can send sticks to and they can recover things cleverly, but is there any recommended software I could try, or any approaches you fellows could recommend? I wondered - if I allow Windows to format it, could I then try recovering deleted items off it? I don't want to make matters worse though! Any advice very gratefully received!

I was able to achieve >512mbps (that's 0.5 gigabit/sec) of read or write by modifying pnet.c as follows, and recompiling the mex extention:
---- edit of pnet.c start here----------------
int tcp_connect(const char *hostname,const int port)
+ int optval;
+ int result=0;
return -1;
con[con_index].fid=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
+ optval=1;
+ result = setsockopt(con[con_index].fid, +IPPROTO_TCP,TCP_NODELAY,(char *) &optval,sizeof(optval));
+ optval = 512*1024;
+ result = setsockopt(con[con_index].fid, SOL_SOCKET,SO_SNDBUF,(char *) &optval,sizeof(optval));
+ result = setsockopt(con[con_index].fid, SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVBUF,(char *) &optval,sizeof(optval));
---- edit of pnet.c ends here----------------
with the modified pnet, executing pnet read/write calls using a buffer of 512kbytes gave very high throughput.
Thank you very much peter , for contributing this and sharing

It's the usual unusualness on this 'House' anniversary
100th episode of the medical drama
When: 8 tonight
Where: KSWB/Channel 69/Cable 5
For five seasons, a grumpy doctor has been in the "House," curing the ill while popping pain meds. The Fox series celebrates its 100th episode tonight in an episode about a cancer researcher who collapses and is admitted to the hospital. Just don't expect anything special about the episode, despite what's likely to be on-air "100th episode" hype by Fox's promotions department.
"I don't know why I sort of draw arbitrary points of principle here and there. I don't know why I picked this one, but it just annoyed me that everybody was getting excited about the 100th episode," "House" executive producer David Shore said. "I'm glad we are getting the publicity, but I'm kind of going, 'Why is this episode different than 90 – if we had nine fingers, would episode 81 be the big one?"
When "House" began back in 2004, it was much more a procedural focusing on medical mysteries solved by Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie). But in recent years, "House" has evolved into a series with one foot in the procedural universe (the medical case of the week) and another foot in the serialized character universe (the soap opera of romances and relationships). The series embarked most dramatically on a binge of serialized stories last season when House played "Survivor" with his replacement interns, whittling them down from dozens to just a few.
"We did not know where it would end up," said actor Peter Jacobson, who joined the cast last season as Dr. Chris Taub. "So it was just sort of about being thrown in and riding along with it."
His wife thought signing on to possibly be tossed off the show was a mistake.
"She thought I was insane initially because ... most actors are afraid of getting fired and not making it," Jacobson said. "So to be in every day, every week, every episode kind of wondering whether you're going to make it is sort of crazy, but it was really a lovely atmosphere to play that out in."
Of course, the additions of Taub, Kutner (Kal Penn) and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) last season resulted in less screen time for some of the show's original characters, most notably Dr. Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Dr. Chase (Jesse Spencer). But the actors don't seem to mind.
"I actually prefer what I'm doing now to what I did before, not that it wasn't good," Spencer said. "I kind of like the new established relationship I have with House and the new team. The team comes to me, and House comes to me, and I'm sort of on the side, doing my thing. For some reason, it's different energies and a different feel, and I feel like the scenes that I do now are actually more pertinent to the episodes in general."
Morrison said moving Cameron and Chase to new positions in the hospital reinvigorated their roles on the show. "And I get more time one-on-one with (series star) Hugh (Laurie), which I would never complain about," she said.

BRE Properties' CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
New investment activity during the quarter was focused on the funding of our four properties that are under construction. We expect first delivered homes in June for our Lawrence Station asset in Sunnyvale. We've a balance-to-fund of approximately $275 million on our four communities under construction. Two of the four cycle, we fully delivered by mid 2013 and Wilshire La Brea and Solstice will start delivering in the fourth quarter of 2013 and into early 2014.
While there is talk of supply becoming a challenge nationally, our West Coast markets were still issuing from it at a slower pace than historical norm. The current monthly average of permits issued in our markets is about 2,500 per month, which is lower than average for the last 15 year of 4,200 per month. Given both the level of competition and opportunities for acquisition, our investment activity is focused on our development pipeline.
At the beginning of the year, we anticipated funding our development requirements with a mix of ATM equity, community dispositions and drives under our revolving credit facility. After recent $40 million of credit under the ATM in the first quarter, we now expect to lean more heavily towards community sales as the source of capital. We currently expect to sell a $130 million to $180 million of community properties prior to year.

Electronic health record (EHR)-based alerts are often used to notify practitioners of abnormal test results, but follow-up failures (missed results) continue to occur in outpatient settings. In the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), abnormal test result alerts are generated automatically for prespecified abnormal laboratory values or manually by the interpreting radiologist when an unexpected finding is noted. Factors such as workflow, user behaviors, and organizational characteristics likely affect EHR-based test result follow-up. Thus, we examined the "sociotechnical" predictors of missed test results in the setting of EHR-based alerts.

Item has a Minimum Qty
this was a fantastic purchase. The mask and snorkel are a great fit. Any cost and value were incredible.
Mask adjusts easily, but fogs up fast. Doesn't leak. I also got the same but in black and the black snorkel is splash proof like advertised and when you submerge no water get's in it, however the blue one does.
This mask is very comfortable on my face.Very easily adjusted. Softer mouthpiece is more comfortable, and the fly sprinters can't send a tsunami down the snorkle. I love it!
Great mask with no leaking. It even works well for my hubby who has a mustache. The snorkle works as well as ones that sell for much more money. I recommend this set!
water comes into the mask. no matter what I do to make it tight.
Average product - does not seal well

Have you bought up every business in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's version of Rome? Found every flag? Solved every Cluster? Dominated in multiplayer? Then we've got some good news: more AssBro is on the way March 8, when the first DLC expansion – titled The Da Vinci Disappearance – hits Xbox Live and PSN with a new single-player storyline, new Achievements/Trophies and a handful of add-ons for multiplayer.
Selling for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on PSN, Disappearance picks up more or less where Brotherhood's story leaves off, and begins with Leonardo Da Vinci's kidnapping at the hands of a shadowy cult called the Hermeticists. Naturally, this obligates Ezio to set out in search of his old friend, recovering stolent paintings and visiting new places along the way.
If the multiplayer additions are any indication, those new places will probably take Ezio to Spain, seeing as Granada's famous Alhambra fortress will appear as a new multiplayer map. Also new are two game modes: Escort, in which two teams compete to protect or assassinate a VIP, and Assassinate, which appears to be a straight-up, six-to-eight-player deathmatch. Finally, four new characters are joining the roster: the Pariah, the Dama Rossa, the Marquis and the Knight, all pictured below.
Brotherhood was a pretty fantastic game, so more of it is definitely a good thing – especially if it involves more Leonardo, who barely played a role in the game's "main" storyline. And even if the new missions aren't much better than Assassin's Creed II's so-so add-ons, the multiplayer additions alone could make this worth the download. Expect to see more details in the coming weeks as we draw closer to its near-imminent release.

ALEXANDRIA, La. – United States Attorney Stephanie A. Finley announced that Roland Castro, 41, an inmate at the U.S. Penitentiary in Pollock, La., pleaded guilty to escaping a federal prison; and Timothy D. Willis, 49, of Philadelphia, Miss., pleaded guilty to assisting in Castro's escape. United States District Court Judge Dee D. Drell presided over the guilty plea hearing on Tuesday.
According to evidence presented at the guilty plea, Castro was serving 240 months at the federal penitentiary in Pollock for a felon in possession of a firearm conviction. Castro met Willis previously, and the two arranged to meet at an agreed-upon location on February 7, 2013. Willis drove to the location on that date and picked up Castro. Castro did not have permission to leave the prison. After an emergency count of the prisoners was conducted, Castro was discovered missing. Willis dropped Castro off near the prison, but Castro left instead of returning to custody. Castro was apprehended on July 5, 2013, in Houston.
Castro and Willis each face up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and three years of supervised release. A sentencing date of November 14, 2013 was set.
The U.S. Marshals Service conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon B. Brown is prosecuting the case.

I work night shift so I threw the marinade and shrimp together after I got off of work in the morning, let them marinate while I slept, and fried these in my wok when I got up in the evening before work. I did use dried instead of fresh parsley (I didn't have any fresh) and it still turned out tasting wonderful!!"

"Very delicious way to dress up plain corn! I will definitely be making this again!!"

dyoung5 (14th May 2008), GrumbleDook (8th November 2008), ngreenwood (11th August 2009)
Sorry if you've seen this before, but I've certainly seen the question unanswered on here a few times.
I've found a script that will automatically download and install updates from Windows update or internal WSUS. Great for new installs!
I edited it slightly so that it keeps restarting and running until all the updates are installed and once they are installed it will intiate the next part of our build process.
The original version is here:
dyoung5 (14th May 2008), GrumbleDook (8th November 2008), ngreenwood (11th August 2009)
When it comes to network domains I always use WSUS. It makes a lot of sense, otherwise you'll be downloading the same Windows updates over the web multiple times. It's still relatively time consuming.
For standalone or offline installs, I have downloaded redistributable versions of Windows XP critical and optional updates (including Media Player 11, IE7, Remote Desktop 6, .NET Framework 1.1 + updates, .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0) since XP SP2. I then created a batch file which will quietly install all updates one by one. Most are easy, although some required some googling as they use different switches.
It took me a while to create, but no doubt saves me a lot of time patching existing machines or new machines. Of course when XP SP3 arrives, I would create a slipstream disc, then create a new pack post SP3 updates.
This works with WSUS (or windows update) - all it does is automate the existing Windows Update client. It is not a collection of updates downloaded. It works with WSUS or WU makingn it 100% up to date.
The problem we had was that after XP had installed, machines would start downloading updates and then sit there until the designated install time or until I came along and selected 'Install Updates and Shutdown'. As some updates are dependant on other updates, you might need to do this 3 times.
Now, this script runs as part of our zero-admin setup. It forces the download of updates from WSUS and installs them straight away and restarts the computer for you. If you have automated the script, it can then run again, untill the computer is fully up to date. Not rocket science, I know, but something that can't be done in windows and something I've been looking for a script for for ages.
I understand what you're getting at, but within WSUS you can specify 'deadline' dates for updates, so if a client hasn't completed updating and rebooting, it will visually display a 3 or 4 minute countdown sequence to the user.
Users can then save their work and close any open applications, then reboot. I've never really had to enforce this however as WSUS installs updates quickly in my experience.
Thanks eean, will have a look tomorrow
Would be useful for new builds
It's not on that forum but I can post it if you like. It's rather crude and badly edited, with file names etc.. hard coded in, but you're welcome to it if you want.
email@example.com. It's the looping code I'm trying to work out --which you have indicated you've solved.
*shamelessly resurrects old thread*
I have an issue with one or two machines not picking up updates from WSUS. They were existing machines that were reformatted.
Will this script sort that, or are there other things is should so to ensure they appear in WSUS Admin and get updates properly? thx
Probably not. The script doesn't do anything other than kick windows into running the wupdate software and monitors what the windows software does.
I assume you've tried wuauclt /detectnow
I sometimes (~10% of the time) have trouble with the script not running on new installs. The reason is that the wsus settings haven't applied properly because group policy hasn't refreshed correctly, even though I do gpupdate /force /boot as part of my build process.
A running gpupdate a second time and reboot fixes it straight away, however.
Next time you have a problem computer take a look in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\
If the settings aren't there that may be the problem.
Have you looked at c:\windows\windowsupdate.log
That may give some clues too.
I too am looking for a way to automate the update-reboot-update again sequence. Could you post a copy of your script or email me at email@example.com so I can see how you did it?
I would but, unfortunately, I have left the place where I was working when I wrote it and for some reason, I didn't get a copy. I'm in another country now but I might go back at xmas and retrieve my hours of labour!
You can try to do this in a command line script with WuInstall, with the /download option.
Usually puts the downloads into the Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download directory.
From there, you can copy them on every new machine and install them, for example with wuInstall /install.
Maybe in a future version it will also be possible to specify a certain download directory.

Michael Annett started the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International from the 19th position and quickly gained three spots in just the first lap to be scored in 16th coming to the stripe. By Lap 7, Annett had worked his way up to 14th-place when the first caution flag of the day flew for debris on the frontstretch. Having only a few laps on his tires, crew chief Philippe Lopez elected not to bring the Pilot Flying J Ford onto pit road. During the yellow flag period Annett relayed to the team his car was very neutral all the way around, and overall he was happy with how it was driving.
Restarting in 14th on Lap 9, Annett maintained his position inside the top 15 until Lopez called him into the pits for a routine green-flag pit stop on Lap 20. The No. 43 crew bolted on four fresh tires, added fuel and made air pressure adjustments to both rear tires during the initial stop of the day in an attempt to tighten up the car. After the rest of the field had cycled through green-flag stops, Annett began to methodically move toward the front and was scored in 12th at Lap 37.
Continuing to move though the field, Annett communicated to Lopez and crew that the car was beginning to lose grip as the run went on, but overall he was still pretty neutral. At Lap 41, the halfway mark, the Pilot Flying J machine was scored just inside the top 10 in ninth position.
On Lap 49, Annett was racing hard when his No.43 machine slid off the track and picked up some grass on the front grill. Just one lap later, Annett keyed the mic to let the team know he was beginning to overheat, and he was coming into the pits to get the car serviced. At Lap 50, Annett came down pit road and the crew went to work cleaning the grass off the grill and adding four fresh tires and fuel.
Restarting near the middle of the 43-car field, Annett had his work cut out for him as he began to again methodically drive toward the front. A caution on Lap 58 allowed him to make up some ground as Lopez decided to keep Annett on track when other teams elected to pit. With Just 22 laps remaining, Annett was running in the 16th position.
Two late-race cautions, for debris on the track, helped Annett to gain a few spots and when the green flag flew on Lap 80 to restart the race for the final time he was scored in 13th. With just two laps to go Annett never gave up and drove his way to a hard-earned 11th-place finish at the end of the day.
Annett's 11th-place finish marks his 13th finish of 11th or better this season. The Iowa native sits in the sixth spot in the NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings heading into Montreal next weekend.
Annett's Thoughts After the Race: "We'll take an 11th-place finish at Watkins Glen. These road course races are so unpredictable, and Watkins Glen hasn't been my best race track in the past. I'm happy we were able to bring the Pilot Flying J Ford home in one piece. I was hoping we could get one more spot at the end to make it a top-10 finish, but overall I'm happy with 11th. I think our team learned some things here at The Glen we can take into Montreal next week, so I'm looking forward to seeing how we can improve and hopefully grab a top-10 or better finish next weekend."

Barclays Recommends Investors Reduce Developed Market Equity Exposure
With the Fed no longer focused on pushing asset prices higher, gains in stock and bond prices will be harder to come by, according to Barclays' latest flagship quarterly research publication, Global Outlook: No longer a rising tide lifting all boats. Over the past four years, the success of quantitative easing has created a favorable market environment; however, with Fed "tapering" looming, better economic growth will likely be needed to drive stocks significantly higher.
"The Fed has achieved its QE objective of raising asset prices and further significant price appreciation would risk another asset price bubble," said Larry Kantor, Head of Research. "For the first time since the crisis, stocks and bonds are likely to move in opposite directions, with the ups and downs in economic activity returning to center stage. This raises the bar for successful investing, since achieving mediocre growth will no longer be enough to push equities higher, compelling us to be less bullish on developed market equities."
With Fed tapering on the horizon, however, the market may have gotten ahead of itself by pricing in a significantly closer onset of monetary tightening. While the Fed would be justified to declare victory in its quest to push up asset prices, it is more difficult to make the same argument for the economy. Although the unemployment rate is falling, near-term prospects for growth in the US remain challenging, given the ongoing effects of fiscal tightening. Moreover, evidence of a pickup in global growth outside the US is unlikely to emerge in the next few months.
If this is correct, for the first time in a while, some areas of fixed income will be more attractive than major equity markets from a tactical perspective. This is particularly true for assets that have suffered most from the recent market turmoil, including agency mortgage-backed securities and high yield corporate bonds. A number of EM equity markets fit into the same category, including those in Mexico and Korea.

Dream a little dreamer sock... we did and it came true! These super comfy socks are a nice dark evergreen with lavender lettering. Like many of the Gumball Poodle styles they are a great knee high on nearly everyone and even go over the knees on some of us. Made exclusively for Sock Dreams by Gumball Poodle in the USA.
Fits women's US shoe size 7 - 13 and men's US shoe size 5 - 11, though we found they do fit even women's size 6 feet pretty nicely!
14 inches from heel to top of cuff unstretched. Body of the sock stretches to about 17 inches.
Additional Info: These have terry-lined feet for ultimate comfort! Keep in mind that they are SO cushy they bring your shoe size up by half a size, so they're best for roomier sneaks and boots.
Fiber Content: 75% cotton, 20% polyester, 5% spandex.
Machine wash cold, hang to dry.
Label: Gumball Poodle
I need some "Reader" socks, sockdreams!
Would these fit a 19inch calf?

Home > Charter
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been employed since the 1980's in Maine State Government to support effective decision making, and efficient service delivery. The GIS Executive Committee (EC) was chartered by the Information Services Policy Board in 1996 to coordinate spatial services across State agencies and to negotiate and administer service level agreements ( SLA ) between agencies and the Office of Maine Geographic Information Systems (MEGIS). In 2005 the Legislature established the Maine Library of Geographic Information (GeoLibrary) to, in part, operate a coordinated, cost-effective electronic gateway to provide public access to State and non-state spatial data.
The MEGIS, within the Office of Information Technology (OIT) has worked collaboratively with the GIS EC and the GeoLibrary to provide spatial data via the Internet; and with the GIS EC to provide core spatial services and technical support to agencies. Since 2006 many State technical employees and the services they deliver have transitioned to OIT. With the consolidation of information technology functions into OIT, funding of MEGIS core services has shifted from SLAs to the central OIT budget. As a result, the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) has chartered the GIS Stakeholders to replace the GIS EC to reflect the shift from a governance body to an advisory role. At the same time, there is a standing need for formal and informal interagency coordination and discussion of all aspects of GIS including best practices, user support, agency business processes, standards, personnel, data management and other GIS-related resources.
To realize the benefits of GIS in Maine state government. This realization is accomplished through the promotion and facilitation of collaborative interagency efforts; information exchange; advisement to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and senior agency management in the use of GIS resources; and the development, maintenance, and facilitation of the implementation of a strategic plan.
The GIS Stakeholders is chartered by the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and is led by the OIT GIS Service Manager.
The GIS Stakeholders will be composed of appointees of the CIO (in regard to policy-making, Agency Information Technology Directors or their designees, MEGIS, the University of Maine System, the GeoLibrary Board or other relevant groups/interests), designees of agency commissioners to represent agency business needs and users, and representatives of the Legislative and Judicial Branches and Constitutional Officers who use, or anticipate using GIS.
Functions of this group include (but are not limited to):
Development of meeting ground-rules and schedules.
Identification of goals in order to meet stated purpose and the subsequent development, review, and update of the strategic plan to meet identified goals.
Provide a forum for discussing resources, initiatives, emerging issues, and opportunities.
Establishment of subcommittees as necessary.
Periodic review of group charter.

Prosecutors have begun making the case to a Suffolk County grand jury that former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez should be charged in the shooting death of two men on a South End street last July, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.
"The case against Hernandez appears to be strengthening," one of the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
The proceedings are conducted behind closed doors, so details of the case against Hernandez are unknown. But the fact that the case has gone to a grand jury indicates that the investigation of the killing of two Cape Verdean immigrants is now more narrowly focused on Hernandez. Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu were shot early on July 16, 2012, in the South End when someone in a sport utility vehicle with Rhode Island license plates pulled up next to their car and began firing.
Hernandez's lawyer, Michael Fee, did not return e-mails or messages left for him at his office.
The grand jury proceedings also raise the troubling prospect that Hernandez, a talented tight end for the Patriots, might have been playing football last season after he had killed two people.

Answer #2louis1953 from AGCO Automotive Corporation, July 26, 2011, 13:38Technician
Toyota uses a seal in their water pumps that may seep coolant and leave a build up around the weep hole. This does NOT mean the pump is bad, unless you are having to add coolant to the system. If there is no noticeable coolant loss, the indications of leakage at the weep hole is fairly normal. If coolant is being loss, the pump will need replacement. With the belt, age is a factor as well as wear. At eight years, replacement would be normal.

If you are leaking coolant from the pump,Then yes replace it.It is unlikley that it is bad with that mileage.I would have to see it.Get a second opinion,And not from a chain store.

After this year's flooding, there is no doubt that all Iowans know the impact of water.
The floods displaced thousands of residents and businesses.
Blame has ranged from whatever activities or development were taking place upstream -- to climate change that is bringing more rain to the state.
But no matter where the blame lies, there are many discussions on how to prevent the disaster from happening again. Such discussions occur after every flood – but talk turned into action a few years ago in northwest Iowa.
This may look like an ordinary flower bed -- but it is much more. It is likely one of the best looking storm sewer intake points in the state. Strategically placed cutouts in the curbs of 3,300 feet of new concrete streets direct rainwater to 15 bio-retention cells … often also referred to as rain gardens.
The water then filters through the landscape, and through an underground rock and tile system. It has a chance to cool before the city's storm sewer line empties into popular West Okoboji Lake.
Before this project was done, there was noticeable urban pollution being added to the lake.
Okoboji Mayor Mary VanderWoude: "It was just like a flood you know. You got 2-3 inches and away it went down the gully and into the lake. "
Brad Beck, Beck Engineering Consulting, Spirit Lake: "The temperature of storm water was very warm. It wasn't filtered. We would see dirt plumes come into the lake during heavy runoff."
While the City of Okoboji did its own projects to curtail runoff, it also became the first town in the state to approve a city ordinance mandating that new construction, and expanding residences or businesses, install systems to deal with storm water that, among other things, runs down driveways, parking lots and off rooflines.
Several nearby communities, and the county as well, followed with their own versions of storm water ordinances. Since much of the required work is done below ground, the untrained eye wouldn't necessarily know that the rain gardens in this residential yard directs water from the street, filters it through the ground and drains it into a ravine adjacent to the driveway. These permeable pavers for walk ways and parking lots absorb water and don't allow as much runoff as concrete.
This 18-unit condo in Arnolds Park has a complete underground tile, retention and filtration system for its driveways and rooflines.
Jim Krueger, Gene Krueger Construction: "This is the first real big project that we've done like this where we had to put in these low impact development features. There's people that are unaware of this kind of stuff until you bring it up to them and say, 'well you know all this run, runoff water from the driveway and roofs it doesn't just shoot to the lake.
They're hearing more about this because this area that we live in, that its becoming an issue we have to consciousness and try to collect all that water. And when you tell them about it then they understand it and they think it's a good thing. "
Krueger says the storm water management added an estimated $50,000 to $70,000 to the cost of the project. It may seem like a lot of expense and additional work, but he says it is worth it to help keep the lakes clean.
It is the same attitude echoed by many others, including Mike May, who operates a 47-unit resort at lake's edge in Arnolds Park.
Mike May, Triggs Bay Resort: "We haven't looked at the urban issue as much as we should have. We have thrown down a lot of cement in our community and we haven't thought about the ramifications of that."
May said when he decided to redo his 33-stall parking lot, he would use permeable pavers, so water would soak in rather than run off.
Mike May, Triggs Resort, Arnolds Park: "We decided to put eco-brick down which is basically a 4 by 4 chunk. They're a little bit thicker than normal patio brick and they have little bumps on the end of them so they separate a little bit more than patio brick. The concept here is when it rains and they thought even with a few parking stalls they could capture 1 1/2 rain, we can capture about anything now because the water just soaks in immediately."
The concept of dealing with individual stormwater runoff seems to be embraced by many in the Okoboji lake area -- more so than many other parts of the state. But that may be because the stakes are so and so visible in the region … where so much of the economy is dependent on tourism.
Mary VanderWoude, Okoboji mayor: "Without these lakes this area is nothing. So we have to do what we can to protect them."

Amen Teferi
Referring to the latest conferences held by the Prime Minister Hailmariam Dessalegn,the French journalist Renè Lefort, in his article titled as "Ethiopia: a leadership in disarray," published on 4 July 2014, has likened the current government of Ethiopia with a ship that has lost its captain and being sailed by a captain who knows not how to navigate the vesselunder his command.
Moreover, he claimed that "the country is in the grip of a threefold transition," namely, the unexpected and unforeseen transfer of the rein from Meles to Hailmariam; the passing of the reins from the "veterans" to the next generation; and the slackening of the state economy as "the state is no longer adequate to drive the growth."
I found the air of the writer to be so impudent and his claim so outrageous and shaky.Renè Lefort has alleged that the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi had"the sole sway at the summit of the Party/State pyramid"while his successor, Hailmariam,is utterly handicapped by "collective leadership," Lefort argued.
As Hailmariam, who chose/forced to the run the state by means of "collective leadership," is referring cases that fall under his jurisdiction to the multiple committees that he formed around him and that resultedin indefinite postponement of decisions.
On the contrary, asRenè Lefort claimed, his predecessorPrime Minister Meles Zenawi had been vested with the power to sway, while his important allies -"the key figures of the TPLF"held positions "on the tier below [and]enjoyed the command of an immense public and semi-public sector of the 'modern' economy."
Renè Lefort has opened his article recapping a question that was raised by Addis Fortune, Englishweekly, to the premier during the latest press conferences.He allude to that question -"Can you tell me who is in charge in the government?" - simply because he found it to be a good hook to sling on his preconceived notion. And there hewent on to discuss what he claimed to be a strap that handicapped Hailmariam's government.
Renè Leforthas further asserted that after Meles "While the colossal body of the pyramid is more or less intact and still performs its main functions, its single apex has exploded into multiple centers of power."According to him these "multiple centers of power are of unequal weight;[and] none of them have achieved critical mass."
In fact, he has admitted that it would be an "overstatement to speak of paralysis"in the government. However,he has asserted that "the party's pinnacle is at least 'in disarray."He also has noted that the "personal legitimacy of [Hailemariam] is deeply flawed and narrow," because,he says, his political base is Woleyta, a place which heasserted to be "one of the southern marches of the old Abyssinian Empire, peopled by those formerly called "barria."
Then he added that Hailemariam, like all his predecessors, is not a Copt. But rather he "belongs to a small offshoot of Pentecostalism [which is] considered as heretical even by other Pentecostals.And he reasoned that these are the shortcomings that have rendered him to be "a front man without teeth."
According Renè Lefort, Hailemariam himself is well awareof these handicaps and these have led him to restrict himself to seek consensus through "collective leadership."Lefortalso has mentionedthat Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn's "legitimacy is largely indirect"for his ascension to power was solely effected by the personal preference of the late premierMeles Zenawi.This made Hailemariam's "personal legitimacy to be deeply flawed" Lefort argued.
Hence, lacking the basic conditions that would legitimize the exercise of government power in Ethiopia, without which one cannot enjoy personal political legitimacy;Lefort argued, Hailemariam has tried to cope with this deficiency of "collective leadership." And he is well awareof his condition and position, Lefortsaid, and hence "collective leadership"is a mechanism without which he cannot discharge his function as a Premier and thus opted to run the state by it.
The decision to go for"collective leadership" is both a premeditated recourse that would help him to squeeze himself out of the bottlenecking situation and an incidental return to the old way of doing politics. Being forced by the daunting political circumstances that have engulfed him, Hailemariam has no choice but to adopt a "collective leadership" style. Thus, according Lefort, Hailemariam sought to gain minimal leveragethrough a political maneuver that would befit the state of affairs in which he found himself.
Leforthas also acknowledged that "collective leadership" is an old item in EPRDF, as he has noted saying "the main markers of the TPLFin its heroic era."For it has now returned to its old style of decision-making, Hailemariam's government is suffering from the relegating effect of collective leadership.
Indicatingcollective leadership to be a lengthy and time consuming decision-makingprocess Lefortnoted that when heated debate sprang in the top echelons of theEPRDF it would be so contentious and these issueswould be taken up by one of the multiple committees that Hailemariam has formed around him. They would take on the matter with a view to reach at consensus and in the absence of consensusdecisions would usually be indefinitely postponed.
At times, when consensus is reached, the decision would be prescribed to everyone, in a manner that befit the legendary sense of hierarchyinthe Ethiopian society, he argued.And these decisions may either be fully or partially implemented across the entire administrative echelon, while they may alsosink without trace beneath the weight of some antagonisms.
Lefort argued that this decision-making processcould be "messy or incomplete"and as a matter of fact, they are supposed to remain within the strict boundaries of the vaguely defined term of reference called "Meles's legacy."This "legacy" is a kingpin in that it is instrumental in cementing the commitment and/or holding together the EPRDF leadership.
He further asserted that this is the condition that has enabled Hailemariam's government to remain in unison and relatively become functional. On the contrary, it has also frozen it and rendered it to be rigid,despite the existence of acutely changing situations that require flexible adjustment to the fact on the ground, Lefort argued.
Now, it is difficult to tell whether Lefortmeant to ascribe the failure of Hailemariam's government in delivering swift decision to the unwavering commitment to"Meles legacy" or the collective leadership. Is it the "immutable principle of democratic centralism" or "the single common referent" -Meles's legacy- that hand tied Hailemariam's government behind its back?
The curtain twitchier Lefort,inclined to say that the leadership is handicapped by Meles's legacy for no one is allowed to detour from this roadmap and as diversion from this would be construed as an attempt of subverting "Meles's legacy."
Lefort held an ambivalent position in this regard; as we see him taking the blame to"traditional Abyssinian culture" which as he claimed would favor decisionstaken after brooding for a longer time. One may also take him to mean that the problem to lie in the traditional "collective leadership" that has been in place during the reign of Meles and that continues to be such after him.
He never showed a slightest inclination to deny the fact EPRDF has this traditional way of deliberating on public and party matters for a long time, and duly reach at a consensus,which in fact rendered the style of the party's leadership as "collective."
Is Lefortsuggesting that Hailemariam and his comrades should "have to learn efficiently, how to make a collective leadership work?" Or is he advising them to get rid of this "collective leadership" and continue with the decision making after the fashion of Meles, which he alleged to be different from now.
Though he is amateurish in getting across his message, the readers of his article would never fail to grasp what he is gettingat. And to that extent he is successful as he has squarely indicated us what he wanted to purport –you have shaky and poorly disposed government in Ethiopia in post-Meles period.
And then he is trying to create a schematic argument that could skillfully support a point that otherwise would readily be dismissed as an untenable claim. Thus, the introductory paragraphs of his article are nothing but a foolish camouflage made of the scraps of town gossips and he tried to smugglehis preconceived notions about the predicament of the EPRDF in the post-Meles period.
This is the glistening and the concrete point one will discover when one courageously striped down to its underpants the veneer of the faulty rationalization of the claims he forwarded in his botched write-up. He made admirable effort in promoting such trivial rumor that was destined to have place only in "gossip columns."
Lucky enough to have an eye-catching title as 'journalist' and being generously adorned with such a phrase as "an expert on Ethiopian…" Leforthas made commendable effort to take some pettychitchat out of the "gossip columns" and run it on some mainstream media as worthwhile academic or journalistic piece. I think, to that degree, Lefort has good reason to feelcomplacent about himself.
Undoubtedly, he set out to cock some mistrust among the party members and degradingly picture EPRDF. He pointedout an "ongoing power struggle" within the EPRDF but he tried to qualify his statement saying "while the power struggle has not yet been overtly launched, everyone is jostling for position, either as a player contender or as a member of the winner's camp."
He further asserted that "no one wants to put their head above the parapet" as, according to his judgment, "None of the leaders feels strong enough to veer off the roadmap for fear of all the others joining forces to put him out of the game."
Therefore,Lefort concluded that "The state is like a ship that has lost its captain,with no one in the crew able or willing yet to take his place, which continues to advance but with an increasingly stuttering engine, and along an unchanging course.This cannot last."
One may or may not concur with the fancy or opinion of Lefort and that may depend on the information or formation of the ideas we are entertaining. However, we should unanimously acclaim the ingenuity of this French journalist who never hesitate to invest his time to scrupulously "analyze this" and "analyze that" in a manner that would remind us of the accomplished actor Robert Denero.
The point is, from the word go, Hailemariam and his comrades have made their plan of action public and declared and vowed to strictly follow the footsteps of the late premier Meles Zenawi. They had sworn to continue implementing the development plans and projects put in place before the death of Meles with renewed and redoubled commitment; for that was the wish and craving of the entire people of Ethiopia who had been sending clear messages to top leaders of the party to that effect.
As an expression for the deepest respect they have for their comrade who had passed away before witnessing the realization of the grand plan he had laid down, they have committed themselves to work harder to transform the living standard of their people by realizing the goals set in the GTP.
He also hasmentioned that the decision to have three deputypremiers was triggered by a precipitatedanger created by the unexpected and unforeseendemise of Meles.No doubt, the sudden loss of a visionary leader,such as Meles, who managed to earn an enticing designation like "a world class mind," would at least have chilling effect on the zealousinspiration which could emanate from his presence.This is really undeniable fact that exists infront of our eyes.
One cannot dispute the absence of agreat leader who left behind an ambitious development plan like the GTP, would put anyone anxious and spur a kind of frustrationor self-doubt. Therefore, it would be wise to devise a mechanism that would somehow recompense the loss of an experienced leader who has the knack to identify his way even in the darkness. And to that extent, failing to devise any safeguarding measureagainst real or imagined problems that ensue from his absence would be unforgivable mistake on the part of his successors.
Hence, it would be an act of wisdom for Hailemariam to find some ways to make up for any anticipated gaps the absence Meles could create and devising some coping mechanism that would recompense (any real or imagined) drawbacks, I guess, is rather a step that crisply marks his ingenuity and the soundness of his judgment.
However, some hypocritestried topurport this decision as an act of frailty and idiocy. They have even tried to construeit as clue for the power struggle going-on among top leaders of the EPRDF. I would contest thatthis is a reflection of an utter lack of common sense. In my view,this decision rather transpires the unflinching resolve of the top leaders of the EPRDF to realize the vision of the late premier.
Similarly, the consideration of the ethnic origin of politicians who are shortlisted as candidates for higher government offices is a customary practice in the ruling party EPRDF. I guess, this is everybody's knowledge and therefore nonsense to take the assignment of three prime ministers following the death of Meles as an indication of a schism in the EPRDF. The debut of the practice and idea of ethnic representation in the public offices was long before the death of Meles period. I may argue that ethnic representation was, is, and will remain in the years to come to be one of the distinguishing features of EPRDF.
If Hailemariam wishes to have three prime ministers one would rightly anticipate his appointment will take into consideration the ethnic/party background or origin of the candidates. Hence, ensuring the representation of the four member partiesof the front should not be interpreted as a signalfor a power struggle amongst the top leaders of the EPRDF.
EPRDF always sought after ethnic representation in all of its political assignments and exert itself much to meet this objective without compromisingother equally important interests of the public.Though it is enthusiastic about the realization a federal civil service that would reflect the true image of Ethiopia; it never failed to uphold and embed merit as its guiding core principle, be it in the civil service or the party.
EPRDF will only abide the principle of representation when candidates considered for a post are assumed to have more or less equal qualification, experience and efficiency and under such circumstances representation will assume over-riding preference. EPRDF has clearly stated that merit should be the sole and overriding principle of the civil service. It would not allow ethnic representation to be misused and serve as a pass-card for indolence or inefficiency.

Farmland values surged during the first quarter from Kansas to Indiana as gains in crop prices during the past two years bolster income, according to a survey of lenders by regional Federal Reserve banks.
Midwest farmers in a five-state region saw an increase of 19 percent as of April 1 from a year earlier, including a 27 percent increase in Iowa, the largest U.S. corn and soybean grower, the Chicago Fed said in a report today. Great Plains states posted a 25 percent increase, led by a 39 percent jump in Nebraska and 24 percent in Kansas, the Kansas City Fed report showed.
Corn and soybean futures last year reached the highest averages ever, while wheat was 34 percent higher than in 2009. Net farm income for domestic growers will reach $91.7 billion this year, second only to last year's $98.1 billion, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Feb. 13.
"We have had two years of exceptional farm income, historically low interest rates and a lack of alternative investments driving farmland prices," Mike Walsten, the editor of Land Owner Newsletter, a unit of Pro Farmer publications, said by telephone from Cedar Falls, Iowa. "Farm income in 2011 was $30 billion higher than the 10-year average, and that's what's increasing farmer purchases."
Grain Prices
The rally in farmland prices may slow because grains are down this year, Walsten said. The average corn price may fall 25 percent to $4.60 a bushel in the year that begins Sept. 1, down from an estimated $6.10 this year, the USDA said on May 10. Wheat prices may fall to $6.10 a bushel in the season that begins June 1, down from $7.25 this year.
"We are probably going into a period of more stability and a leveling off in the land market," he said. "I have seen some sales in Iowa and Illinois recently that were not as strong as I expected. It's not the same zip and drive that we saw in late 2011 or earlier this year."
During the first quarter, Indiana prices advanced 15 percent from a year earlier, Wisconsin increased 13 percent, and Michigan rose 7 percent, the Chicago Fed said. Midwest land values climbed 5 percent from the fourth quarter, and about one- third of the 231 bankers surveyed by the Fed forecast higher values in the second quarter.
"Bidding among farmers was common at farmland auctions, driving up" prices, David Oppedahl, a business economist at the bank, said in the quarterly report. "Relative to investors, farmers again purchased a higher share of the acres sold in the past three to six months."
Rents Rise
The cost to rent farmland in the district rose 17 percent from a year earlier, the second-largest increase since the survey began in 1960, according to the quarterly report.
Falling interest rates for operating and real-estate loans improved credit conditions for agricultural producers in the first quarter, the Chicago Fed said. The index of rate of repayments on non-real-estate agricultural loans climbed to the highest ever and 56 percent of survey respondents reported improvement. Loan renewals and extensions declined, with 37 percent of bankers reporting fewer than a year earlier.
Loans to buy farm machinery and build grain storage were expected to rise in the current quarter from a year earlier, the Fed said.
Plains States
In the Plains states, Oklahoma had the smallest increase at 8.9 percent, according to the survey of 235 banks by the Kansas City Fed. Ranchland in the region gained 16 percent as high feed costs boosted demand for pasture, and irrigated farmland gained 30 percent from a year earlier.
"Record-high farmland prices prompted landowners to place more land on the market," bank economists Jason Henderson and Maria Akers said in the quarterly report. About a third of the bankers surveyed anticipated farmland values would rise further, while the rest expected prices to hold at peak levels.
The report covered the Fed's 10th District, which includes Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming and parts of New Mexico and Missouri.
Income gains in the region "spurred additional household and capital spending in the first quarter," the economists said.
In the first quarter, interest rates averaged 6.2 percent for operating loans and 5.8 percent for real-estate loans.
Several bankers reported that crop insurance and mineral leases helped with loan repayments in drought areas, according to the survey.

Senate Approves Safety Net and Tax Break Extensions
The Senate has just approved, by a 62-36 vote, HR 4213, which extends unemployment compensation and COBRA benefits for the unemployed, along with many tax breaks, until the end of the year. Democratic leaders have promoted it as a jobs bill. Differences with the much-smaller House version must now be worked out.
Senate Should Post Information on Spending
UPDATE: The Coburn amendment was agreed to on a 100-0 vote.
The Senate today will consider a proposal from Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) to post information on spending approved by the chamber. Amendment # 3358 to the tax extenders bill (H.R. 4213) will require the Secretary of the Senate to post on the Senate website information on:
'Line' Items: Oscars Edition
Temporary Tax Extensions Avoid "The Hurt Locker" – The Senate passed H.R. 4691, a 30-day extension of several expired tax breaks and unemployment and health-care benefits, last week after reaching a deal with Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY). He had blocked the vote because the $10 billion measure was not paid for. Under the deal the Senate considered a Bunning amendment to offset the cost; the proposal was voted down.
Past Uses of Reconciliation
In last week's backgrounder blog post on budget reconciliation, we said that the process has been used 22 times in the past, with the President having vetoed three of the bills. That leaves 19 bills that have become law through this special process since 1980. In the graph below, we show the net effect on the deficit of all these bills over the years defined by that year's budget resolution rules.
Health Reform by Reconciliation: Maligned, Misunderstood, but Misused Is Up for Debate
Unable to pass health care reform using "regular order," Congressional Democrats now are turning to much-misunderstood process known as "budget reconciliation" to enact the measure. They'll still have to do legislative back flips to get the job done, but the process gives Democrats two major advantages: In the Senate, debate is limited to 20 hours--in other words, no filibusters allowed--and it can pass the Senate with 51 votes, rather than the 60 that much legislation has been required to overcome the filibuster threat.
Senate Falls One Vote Shy of Considering Sessions-McCaskill Spending Caps Amendment
The Senate has just voted to not waive a Budget Act point of order raised against the Sessions-McCaskill amendment (#3337) to the Senate jobs bill. The amendment would institute discretionary spending caps. The vote was 59-41. Sixty votes were needed to waive the point of order. If the point of order were waived, the Senate would have proceeded to voting on approving the amendment. CRFB supports spending caps.
Constitutional Route Becoming Popular
Given the present economic and political climate, many are eying Constitutional changes to help improve the budget situation.
In yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Representatives Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) and Mike Pence (R-IN) proposed a Spending Limit Amendment to the Constitution.
