The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The economic crisis in Europe has changed from a financial issue to a
political one.
UMM isnt it still financial? and wasnt it always political
Asked Kevin and we thought it would be better to rephrase as something
like " The political aspects of the economic crisis in Europe have come
to overshadow the financial aspects" or "The underlying political nature
of the European economic crisis has come to the forefront" . Otherwise
its way to black and white. There are political aspects and financial
aspects, and our argument is that to undertand it you view it thru the
prism of the political. Still political, still financial, always
intertwines Although institutional inertia and a fear of the unknown
should the European Union begin to fracture might drive temporary
solutions, the European experiment is being questioned. National
interests rise in times of crisis and are being pitted against the
reasons for forming the union in the first place and the difficulties
that would be presented by rolling it back. In this quarter, the overt
focus may be on resolving the financial aspects of the European crisis,
but underlying everything will be questions of the logic of retaining
European Union's current structure and the simmering tension between the
populations and the economic and political elite.
Europe's crisis ripples beyond the continent. In Russia, concern over
the potential for a European contagion in part shaped Vladimir Putin's
decision to run for president again. Russia will be looking for ways to
exploit the European uncertainties, through economic levers and shaping
political perceptions. In East Asia, China too is watching the European
crisis and measuring the implications for Beijing's own economic
recovery plans. A weakened Europe and a sustained global economic slump
could push China's internal economic balance to the limits.
In the Middle East, as the excitement of the Arab Spring continues to
fade, the shape of emerging regional power continues to evolve. Iran is
looking at the looming deadline for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and
will play a careful hand. Tehran wants to reshape regional politics
while the neighboring countries nervously watch the U.S. withdrawal,
while not acting so assertively that its actions provide justification
for the United States to remain. At the same time, Turkey will be
focused increasingly on the gap left by the United States in Iraq and
the future expansion of Iran's influence. The rising competition between
Turkey and Iran, while in its nascent stage, will prove complicated for
Turkey, as Ankara's early actions in the eastern Mediterranean test its
relations with the United States.

Global Trends

Europe's Crisis
European Union member states are not as committed to the bloc as they
once were. The states that joined the union before 2000 did so with the
understanding that the union was created to contain German ambitions.
The states that joined after 2000 did so with the understanding that the
union would protect them from Russian domination. All members joined
with the additional understanding that the union would grant them
wealth. However, all those understandings are now in breach.
In the past year, Germany has steadily rewired European structures to
its advantage. The German-dominated (and <link nid="199546">newly
modified</link> bailout fund now operates largely independent of EU
authority or scrutiny. I am unclear wether this means pre or post eFSFII
changes which havent technically happened yet, and I think I basically
just disagree with this, and I know others do too, but we have raised
this multiple times and been overruled so.... A reawakening Germany has
discovered that it has many reasons to collaborate with a strengthening
Russia: energy, security and limiting U.S. influence throughout Eurasia.
And overall, the European economy is stagnant at best. German-imposed
austerity measures are slowing economies further and might have already
created a recession for Europe as a whole. One of the few European
states still showing signs of economic activity is Germany.
STRATFOR anticipates that ongoing efforts to strengthen the eurozone's
bailout fund -- a precondition for any solution that would save Europe
-- will continue apace in the coming quarter. We do not expect a Greek
default, euro dissolution or general European catastrophe in the fourth
quarter of 2011. But the fondness EU member countries have felt for the
bloc is ending. In the fourth quarter, the leaders and masses of the 27
EU states will feel nostalgic for the past but unwilling to bear the
collective financial burden required to preserve it, disillusioned with
what Europe is becoming but only willing to blame others and most of all
evaluating the options they might have if the European experiment comes
to an inglorious end.
Several weak points in the European system could trigger a cascade of
events that would accelerate that end. The most likely are:

 The Italian government and Belgian caretaker government are
both in precarious positions. An Italian government collapse likely
would overwhelm the failsafes the Europeans have thus far established.
Belgium does not even have a government in any practical sense, making
it impossible for Brussels to negotiate -- much less implement --
austerity measures. A financial break in Belgium would usher the
financial crisis in to the Northern European core.

 Political miscalculations or opposition to more bailouts in Germany
could limit financial support to Greece at a key moment. Greece is
living on bailout funds and will default on its debt should the payout
schedule be more than moderately interrupted. Such interruption would
trigger a financial cascade, starting in Greece and ending in the
Western European banks before EU bailout programs are expanded
sufficiently to handle the fallout.

Iran and Iraq
The next three months will be <link nid="202455">critical for
Iran</link>. By the end of the quarter, the United States will face a
deadline to complete its troop withdrawal from Iraq. The increasingly
nervous Arab states in the Persian Gulf region will not view <link
nid="201754">whatever ambiguous troop presence the United States
maintains in Iraq</link> beyond that deadline as a sufficient deterrent
against Iran. Tehran will want to exploit its Arab neighbors' sense of
vulnerability to reshape the region's politics while it still has the
upper hand. To this end, Iran will use a blend of conciliatory and
threatening moves to try and drive the United States and its Arab
neighbors toward an accommodation on Iran's terms.
Iran will have to work within constraints, however. Though Tehran's
strongest covert capabilities are in Iraq, Iran likely will exercise
restraint in this arena to avoid giving the United States justification
for a prolonged military presence. Meanwhile, Iran will continue efforts
to build up assets in Bahrain, but its best chance of success is in the
Levant, where Tehran likely can exploit its existing militant proxy
relationships to accelerate an already developing Egypt-Israel crisis
that would keep Israel busy and distract from Syria's internal troubles.
Despite Iran's best efforts, we do not anticipate that Tehran will be
able to force a fundamental political realignment in the region as early
as this quarter, though Iran will emerge from this quarter stronger.
Russia's Resurgence
In its dealings with the United States, Iran and Europe, Russia will
continue its dual foreign policy in which it appears more conciliatory
while retaining its ability to be aggressive. This dual track is meant
to continue rolling back U.S. influence in Eurasia while solidifying
Moscow's position.
Russia had anticipated that its recent maneuvers with Western powers --
particularly its stance against U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD)
plans and its counterproposal to those plans -- would divide the
Europeans and allow Moscow to begin <link nid="201450">pressuring
Central Europe</link>. Russia's plans on this front were to reach a
finale at a series of planned meetings with NATO in the fourth quarter.
However, these meetings have become less critical, as larger issues have
emerged -- mainly the European financial crisis. It is not that the
Europeans are not concerned about Russia; rather, there is so much
tension within Europe over finances, alliances and the balance of power
on the Continent that security issues will have to wait.
This does not mean Russia will stay quiet on these issues, particularly
ahead of a slew of meetings with the Europeans, NATO and the United
States. Russia will continue trying to pressure all parties involved in
the BMD issue and will reconnect with <link nid="201844">Iran</link> in
order to shore up its position. But Moscow knows its attempt to split
the Europeans and United States over security issues will not be
realized just yet.
With security issues sidelined, Russia will try to take advantage of the
Europeans' crises in the fourth quarter. Russia is already purchasing
some choice assets in Europe, and it is watching to see if it can
further its advantage -- possibly by dumping large amounts of cash into
Europe to help curb the crisis (or so Moscow would want the Europeans to
believe). This will not occur before the end of the year, but Russia
will spend the fourth quarter formulating its options.
<media nid="202946" align="right"></media>

South Asia

U.S.-Taliban negotiations mediated by Pakistan will advance in the
fourth quarter. On the surface, these talks will appear to be fruitless
as all involved parties attempt to strengthen their negotiating
positions and fringe groups try to derail the process. Pakistani
affiliates and Afghan Taliban affiliates will launch attacks to increase
U.S. desperation to exit Afghanistan, while the <link
nid="202577">United States will try to force Pakistan</link> into action
in facilitating and insuring an agreement with the Taliban that would
place strong constraints on transnational jihadist activity in the
region, or risk a future in which the United States shifts its support
away from Pakistan. Though the United States faces many disadvantages in
these negotiations, Washington will enhance its position by <link
nid="199931">decreasing its dependence on Pakistani supply lines</link>.
The seemingly chaotic talks will intensify over the next three months,
but STRATFOR believes the fundamentals of these negotiations -- the
United States' strategic need to extricate its forces from Afghanistan,
Pakistan's need to remain cohesive and rebuild its influence in
Afghanistan with U.S. support to counter India and the Taliban's need to
dominate a post-war political settlement -- will carry the negotiations
forward, though not necessarily at a steady pace.
<media nid="179434" align="right"></media>

Middle East

Egypt-Israel-Palestinian Territories
The Egyptians are scheduled to go to the polls for the country's first
post-Mubarak parliamentary elections in November, and Egypt will be
consumed with this issue for the entire fourth quarter. The Supreme
Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has been steadily laying the
groundwork for an election that will not allow any one political
grouping to dominate the others, and will seek to ensure that the
divisions within the opposition will translate into a government that
remains weak.
The militant environment in the <link nid="200714">Palestinian
Territories</link> and the Sinai Peninsula will aggravate political
tensions in Egypt. Hamas has a strategic interest in exploiting the
already shaky political transition in Egypt to undermine the Egyptian
military regime and create an opportunity for more like-minded Egyptian
groups like the Muslim Brotherhood to enhance their power and
fundamentally change Egypt's policy toward Israel. Several other
parties, ranging from Iran and Syria to al Qaeda factions operating in
the Sinai, also want to create a military confrontation between Egypt
and Israel.
The coming months will be extremely trying for the SCAF and Israel as
both attempt to prevent Hamas and its affiliates from creating the
conditions for an Egypt-Israel crisis. Hamas will be operating under
heavy constraints as it attempts to lure Israel into a military
operation in the Palestinian Territories. Though a crisis between Egypt
and Israel is by no means assured as early as this coming quarter, the
seeds of that conflict are being sown.
STRATFOR does not expect any dramatic shifts to its Syria forecast this
quarter. Syria will continue struggling to stamp out protests, but
neither the fractured protest movement nor the regime has the resources
to overwhelm the other. The Syrian regime will devote increasing
attention to <link nid="202623">rooting out dissent</link> among the
upper ranks of the Alawite-dominated military; this dynamic will need to
be watched closely for signs of serious fracturing within the regime.
The regime will find relief in the likelihood that <link
nid="202572">Syria's opposition</link> will remain without meaningful
foreign sponsorship through the end of the year.
Turkey will continue encountering obstacles as it tries to push its
regional re-emergence beyond rhetoric, especially in the <link
nid="202553">eastern Mediterranean</link>. More importantly, Turkey will
have to pay more attention to Iraq, where a power vacuum is waiting to
be filled by Iran as the United States draws down its military presence
in the fourth quarter.
The next three months will see <link nid="202047">tensions between Iran
and Turkey</link> grow quietly as Turkey increases its efforts to
counterbalance Iran in the region, though these efforts will only be in
the nascent stages this quarter. Iran, meanwhile, will rely primarily on
the shared threat of Kurdish militancy as it tries to maintain a basis
for cooperation with Turkey in light of Ankara and Tehran's growing
strategic differences.
<link nid="201493">Turkish-Israeli relations</link> are unlikely to
improve in the coming months as Turkey tries to use the deterioration of
its ties with Israel to enhance its regional credibility. Turkey will
not be able to count on the United States' full support as it becomes
more assertive in the eastern Mediterranean, yet given Washington's
needs in the region (especially regarding Iran and, in the longer term,
Russia), the United States will eventually make its relationship with
Ankara a higher priority.
Yemen will remain in political crisis this quarter as <link
nid="202351">Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh</link> and his clan
continue efforts to regain their clout in the capital and undercut the
opposition. Street battles in and around the capital between pro- and
anti-regime forces can be expected, with Saleh's faction retaining the
upper hand yet still unable to quash the opposition.
Friction among the various factions competing for control over Libya
will increase in the fourth quarter, as the loose alliance of
anti-Gadhafi militias seeks to eliminate the regime loyalists' final
strongholds. STRATFOR does not foresee a drawn out insurgency by
pro-Gadhafi forces, but even if the National Transitional Council (NTC)
declares the country's liberation in the fourth quarter -- an act which
the NTC has said is a precondition to any <link nid="201278">formation
of an transitional government</link> -- the resulting political
wrangling will leave the country without a unified leadership that can
move Libya forward toward elections.
<media nid="179432" align="right"></media>

Former Soviet Union

The announcement that <link nid="202458">Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin will run for president</link> in March 2012 will lead to many
shifts in the next three months.
STRATFOR said recently that Putin would only return to the presidency if
there were a need for the Kremlin to be seen as stronger and more
assertive on the global stage. Clearly Russia believes that current and
upcoming events -- the eurozone crisis, which is destabilizing most of
Europe, and stagnant negotiations with the United States and NATO over
security issues -- will require a more assertive Kremlin (or at least
the perception of one). The realization that Putin will return to
Russia's top post will begin spreading through the former Soviet states,
Europe and the United States, though it will not lead to a dramatic
shift in relations with Moscow until 2012.
The most immediate effects of Putin's decision to return to the
presidency will be felt inside Russia and the Kremlin in the fourth
quarter. Putin's candidacy was announced at the United Russia Conference
in a bid to settle any dispute and remove focus from Putin's tandem with
current Russian President Dmitri Medvedev ahead of legislative elections
scheduled for December. The announcement was meant to strengthen support
for and confidence in the Kremlin, Putin and United Russia ahead of the
elections. Now the Kremlin will focus on consolidating wins for United
Russia and Putin's political umbrella movement, the All Popular Front.
However, the announcement has exposed a deep rift within the Kremlin.
Not many within the Russian government are upset about Putin's return to
the presidency, but they are concerned about Medvedev's future role.
Many Cabinet ministers want Medvedev to become speaker of the Russian
parliament instead of prime minister, because if he takes the
premiership he will become their direct superior. Such disagreements
will occur throughout the fourth quarter and could involve some of the
most important figures and policies in Russia, such as the Kremlin's
implementation of its modernization and privatization programs.
Decisions about who will move where will come at the end of the year and
into the March election.

East Asia

China's Economy
China will see a temporary easing of inflation pressure, though such
easing will remain slow in translating to households. <link
nid="200337">Beijing will be cautious</link> about signs of a resurgence
due to shouldnt we qualify this with an adjective like "ample" or
something external liquidity and continued government-led domestic
investment. Beijing likely will be more willing to accept moderate
inflation given the issues it is facing:

 A slowdown will continue with no sign of radical policy changes
from Beijing, at least ahead of major economic conference in December
and particularly in light of the <link nid="198348">worsening economic
situation in Europe</link>, which is expected to affect China's export

 Beijing will use policy tools to continue fighting inflation
without affecting growth further. Depending upon the state of growth, a
chance for a policy change could occur in December to pave the way for a
smooth transition in 2012.

 Though tightened economic controls are likely to dominate the
fourth quarter, the deteriorating financial health of small and
medium-sized enterprises will require greater policy assistance,
including fiscal spending or flexibility in adjusting monetary

 Beijing will also clamp down on media and ideological expression to
quash unrest and local grievances out of concern for stability, but this
means there is a greater chance that protests could be mishandled, which
would also create concerns for stability.

U.S.-Chinese Relations
China and the United States could have a direct confrontation over trade
disputes and currency during the fourth quarter. Depending on China's
domestic situation -- particularly regarding the economy and social
stability -- Beijing could consider it beneficial to increase tensions
with the United States to distract the public from domestic issues.
considering the 200 WTO announcement and the US elecitons season and
whats going through Senate doesnt it seem more likely to be US
increasing tensions not china?
Relations between China and the United States will affect U.S. President
Barack Obama's attempts to strengthen relations with Washington's
regional allies during his Asia tour in November. U.S.-Chinese relations
will also color Washington's attempt to demonstrate a renewed commitment
in the Asia Pacific region via several multilateral mechanisms including
U.S.-Japanese-Indian trilateral talks, the East Asia Summit and the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
South China Sea Tensions
<link nid="202631">Tensions in the South China Sea</link> will be the
main regional security issue in the next countries. Claimant countries
and outside players likely will accelerate moves to draw greater
international attention to the ongoing maritime disputes. China will
increase its diplomatic efforts to contain the issue; these efforts
could include economic benefits and political pressure. China's steps
will depend on the United States' moves in the next quarter, though as
the disputes in the South China Sea grow more complicated,
miscalculations could lead to unexpected consequences (possibly even
involving militaries).
<media nid="179433" align="right"></media>

Latin America

Venezuela's Economy and Chavez's Health
While the status of <link nid="202635">Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez's health</link> remains a serious concern and the most critical
of state secrets in Venezuela, the regime does not appear to be in a
rush to prepare for Chavez's imminent departure. Elections have been set
for October 2012, giving the regime time to prepare for a transition of
power, if one is forthcoming. This next quarter will be dominated by the
implementation of major economic reforms that include the <link
nid="199864">Ley de Costos y Precios</link> and the nationalization of
the gold industry. Chavez will also be occupied with mediating <link
nid="199439">competition within the inner circle elite</link>. Protests
by groups spanning the political spectrum have become more common
throughout the country and are expected to continue growing. Barring an
outside shock like a collapse in oil prices, no major changes to overall
stability are expected in the next quarter.
Brazil's Economy
Brazil will remain focused on economic management this quarter. Its dual
goal of managing inflation while stimulating the local economy will
require <link nid="201699">incremental policy changes</link> as the
country reacts to shifting projections of global growth. Increased trade
protections are likely. The relationships most likely to grow tense over
increased trade protections will be those with China and Argentina.
Mexico's Cartels
Mexican drug cartels continue fragmenting violently, spreading
volatility throughout the country. There are strong indications that
<link nid="201601">factional violence within the Gulf Cartel</link>
could erupt, which would lead security conditions in Tamaulipas,
Veracruz and Nuevo Leon states to deteriorate in the near future.
Fighting between the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas will intensify in
Mexico's northeastern states. Relative calm in the Northwest,
particularly in Sonora and Baja California del Norte, will continue in
the fourth quarter as the Sinaloa cartel exerts near-complete control
over the region. As many as seven different factions and organizations
are battling for control over transportation corridors in the central,
south-central and Pacific coast regions. Jalisco, Nayarit, Guerrero,
Colima, Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa states will be particularly
vulnerable in the next quarter.
<media nid="179437" align="right"></media>

Sub-Saharan Africa

The Conflict in Somalia *
The African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia (AMISOM) will expand
by 3,000 soldiers, bringing its total force level to 12,000. The
incoming peacekeepers, who will come from Djibouti and Sierra Leone,
will be deployed to Mogadishu early this quarter to reinforce the
current forces, drawn from Uganda and Burundi. These additional
peacekeepers will enable AMISOM to consolidate control of Mogadishu this
quarter, giving Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) a secure
space to work on governance and delivering public services. Al Shabaab
will remain divided and unlikely to reunify even loosely or surrender to
the TFG. While AMISOM and the TFG will not conduct offensive operations
against the Somali jihadists outside of Mogadishu this quarter, <link
nid="200179">Al Shabaab's constituent groups</link> will see their range
of operations limited to narrow sections in southern Somalia. **
Nigeria's Militants
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan's government will continue
grappling with Boko Haram in the fourth quarter. The government will
engage dissenting politicians from the country's north who are
sympathetic to the Nigerian Islamists in negotiations, offering to trade
patronage for limits on support for <link nid="202444">Boko
Haram</link>. The government will build and decentralize its
intelligence capability -- albeit slowly -- to isolate hardline elements
of the fundamentalist sect not interested in negotiations and maintain
Joint Task Force deployments of army personnel to interdict radical Boko
Haram members.
Separately, the Nigerian government will keep funneling money to its
Niger Delta amnesty program, supporting what is effectively a welfare
scheme for militants in the oil-producing region in order to keep oil
production running smoothly. The militants, from groups such as the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, will comply with the
government, but both the Jonathan administration and the militants will
<link nid="201394">safeguard the militants' capabilities</link> for
political leverage (though this will not be used in the fourth quarter).
*Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo **
The neighboring countries of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC) will hold elections of sorts this quarter: The <link
nid="183745">DRC will hold a presidential election in late
November</link> and Angola will hold a ruling party leadership
convention in December. Both instances will be opportunities for the
opposition to organize street protests aimed at destabilizing the
incumbent, though such demonstrations will not meaningfully affect
either government.
Both governments could use the elections as an opportunity to harbor
militia or military forces to destabilize each other. Angola is not
likely to have its armed forces intervene during the DRC elections, but
its relations with DRC President Joseph Kabila's government are cooler
than they were in 2006, when Angola prepared its Cabinda-based units to
occupy Kinshasa to guarantee Kabila's election. For its part, Kinshasa
will not actively harbor <link nid="201091">anti-Luanda militias</link>,
though it will continue ignoring migrations across its shared border by
Angolans and Congolese involved in smuggling and illegal mining
*Security in the Sahel
The Sahel sub-region of West Africa will become crowded have brought
this up a few times. What does crowded mean? I just mean to say, there
are multiple African government security forces and agencies as well as
Western security forces and agencies active in the Sahel, so militants
will find themselves without vast territories to maneuver, even if the
Sahel and Sahara don't have a deep, formal government institution
presence as some militants (and their weapons) return from the
battleground in Libya. Regional African and foreign government agencies
(including <link nid="202887">U.S. government elements</link>) will
strengthen intelligence acquisition and sharing efforts, focusing on the
threat of terrorism from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and
Tuareg rebels largely from Algeria, Mauritania, Niger and Mali. AQIM
fighters and hostile Tuareg elements will not have political space, or
freedom from intelligence agencies and military forces, to consolidate
their forces from the dispersed camps they maintain throughout the
Sahel. This means constraints will be in place to limit an increase

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 4/11/2005
Why stop there? SRT is now bringing back the American Club Racing (ACR) package-dropped in 2003-and also offers the utterly insane Stage 3 turbo upgrade kit. We've driven SRT4s with both. For pure, white-heat, sweaty-palms excitement, Stage 3 pushes the SRT4's power peak to 310 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. (Or 355 hp and 365 lb-ft with 100-plus octane gas!) Try that in the snow on summer tires (as we did) for a rush that will make your short hairs uncurl. The kit will cost you $4199.
The newly minted ACR package will hunker the SRT4 down and have it turning on a dime for an extra $1195 over the base SRT4's $21,195. Considering the list of mods starts with superlight sixteen-inch BBS wheels and 225/45ZR-16 BFGoodrich KDW2 tires, the rest of the package is virtually free. Five-way adjustable Tokico dampers, rear tension strut, larger front antiroll bar, spare tire and wheel, and seats that will accommodate shoulder harnesses complete the package. Grab the Stage 3 kit as a Mopar add-on, and kiss the competition good-bye.

DES MOINES – Summer is a good time for manure applicators to schedule training to complete their 2013 certification.
Commercial and confinement site applicators who are not yet certified can attend training now, well before fall harvest. They must complete training and submit certification materials before applying manure this fall.
Applicators can watch a training video to fulfill the three-hour commercial or two-hour training requirement. They should make an appointment to see the videos at the closest Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office. This is also an opportunity for first-time applicators to become certified.
Check with county offices to see if there is a fee or a scheduled viewing time. Please bring a copy of any past manure applicator's certificate or a current driver's license.
More information about the certification program is available on the Iowa Manure Management Action Group's website at www.agronext.iastate.edu/immag/maccma.html#cert. Or, check the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/afo under Applicator Certification.
Manure applicators may take an exam instead of taking training. Exams are 50 multiple choice or true/false questions. A score of 35 or more passes the exam. Applicators may take the exam by appointment at the following DNR field offices: • Northeast Iowa, Manchester, 563-927-2640. • North central Iowa, Mason City, 641-424-4073. • Northwest Iowa, Spencer, 712-262-4177. • Southwest Iowa, Atlantic, 712-243-1934. • South central Iowa, Des Moines, 515-725-0268. • Southeast Iowa, Washington, 319-653-2135.
After finishing the training or passing the exam, applicators need to submit forms and fees to the DNR to complete the certification process.

According to a report filed by Cleveland Police officer Kevin Felton, the victim said she ordered the liner in early May. The contractor received a portion of the payment. On May 21, the contractor was paid $850, bringing the total amount to $1,275.
The victim told the officer she had attempted to contact the contractor several times and left phone messages. She stated she has not been contacted by the alleged offender.
Evidence was obtained in the case.
Detective Steve Ross of the Criminal Investigations Division is in charge of the follow-up.
- A Honda motorcycle was taken from a residence located on Timberhills Drive late last week.
According to a report filed by Bradley County deputy Cru Ross, Dewaun Massengill said he had the Honda CBR parked in the driveway of his home overnight. When he checked Saturday afternoon, the bike was gone.
The motorcycle had a Tennessee license tag with the numbers 5ZU287.
According to the report, the motorcycle was red and black and had a yellow symbol on it.
Vehicle identification numbers were obtained and were entered into the National Crime Information Center computer database.
The motorcycle was valued at $2,800.
Investigation is continuing.
- Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting Driver's License Roadside Safety Checkpoints in Bradley and Polk counties beginning this weekend.
The checkpoints will be set up in random locations in the county.
According to THP officials, checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public, by motorists who would violate the license laws of the state.
All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.

Periodic Table of Elements
Part of the Organic Chemistry 1 Workbook For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Studying the elements of the periodic table is vital for understanding organic chemistry. So that you don't have to memorize each element, they're grouped together by their properties.
A principle discovered by the Greek mathematician Archimedes which states that the volume of a solid is equal to the volume of water it displaces.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
A model of atomic structure developed by Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist. In this model, electrons occur in orbits of differing energy levels around the nucleus of an atom.
The change in the physical state of matter from a gaseous state to a liquid state.
The change in the physical state of matter from a gaseous state to a solid state without ever becoming a liquid. The reverse of sublimation.
Substances that can conduct electricity either in the molten state or when dissolved in water.
A method used by chemists to represent electrons in bonding and chemical reactions.
A measure of an atom's strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.
A method used by chemists to diagram the electrons for an atom (including orbitals and subshells) in bonding and chemical reactions.
A mixture whose composition varies from position to position within a sample.
A mixture whose composition is the same from position to position within a sample.
Atoms of the same element that have varying numbers of neutrons.
The sum of the protons and neutrons in a particular isotope; also called atomic weight.
Substances that do not conduct electricity in the molten state or when dissolved in water.
A nuclear reaction in which an atom's nucleus splits into smaller parts.
A process in which lighter nuclei of atoms join together into a heavier nucleus; essentially the opposite of nuclear fission.
Any reaction that involves a change in nuclear structure.
A table that displays all known chemical elements in an arrangement that is based on the properties of the elements; changes over time as new elements are discovered.
A model of atomic structure that is based on mathematics and can be used to explain observations made on complex atoms.
The spontaneous decay of an unstable nucleus in an atom.
A worldwide measurement system that is based on the older metric system. The SI comes from the French Systeme International.
The change in the physical state of matter from a solid state to a gaseous state without ever becoming a liquid (such as dry ice).
The electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, the farthest away from the nucleus.

Sustainability has become a hot topic in the current age of conservation and self-sufficient living. For residents of New Orleans, this is no exception, and locals and visitors alike can easily enjoy the scrumptious, fresh delights like local produce, seafood, dairy, farm-raised meat, fresh baked goods, and cut flowers via local farmers markets regularly held around the city.
If you'd like to sample some fresh local produce on your next visit to New Orleans, there are a number of farmers markets to choose from and several different locations. Every day at the edge of the French Quarter on Decatur St, the French Market is an expansive marketplace covering several blocks with tents and tables of goods from 10am till 6pm. The market is filled to the brim with food and merchandise vendors of all stripes, including many local farmers, bakers, fishermen and the like.
Crescent City Farmers Market hosts markets at three different locations three days of the week, so there's a chance you'll be able to see at least one of them on your next visit. The Thursday Market is held Thursday afternoon in Mid-City at Orleans Ave and Bayou St. John, which makes for a beautiful location and a lovely breeze while you browse. On Saturday mornings, the market is held downtown at Magazine St and Girod St, which is also a nice contrasting background to walk through, with fresh produce and other goods peddled against the backdrop of the city's downtown and Warehouse District areas.

Burchfield won the June 4 election by beating former Mayor Jeffery Kilpatrick with a count of 258 to 244, and thus began the controversy.
"When I first learned the results, I went to shake his hand and say congratulations. I started clearing things out of my office," said Kilpatrick. "But then I learned that three people filed charges against him for bribery and it's actually going to be four people. He paid people to get their votes."
Burchfield, who previously served as a city alderman and Kilpatrick's assistant mayor, denies these claims vehemently.
"It's a whole pack of lies," said Burchfield. "These lies have been going on since before the election."
Burchfield confirmed that he has been charged but will fight false claims.
He said he did not want to comment further on the situation until speaking with his lawyer but he is suspicious the claims are coming from those loyal to Kilpatrick, who served as mayor for eight years.
Kilpatrick said he protested the election results just two days after the vote and he has taken the necessary steps with the Drew Election Commission and Mississippi Secretary of State's office.
"People came and spoke before the chief of police and filed the paperwork," said Kilpatrick. "It's very unprofessional to win an election like that. We will most definitely be going to court.
"Why would someone want a leader who's doing wrong already? Who can trust a person like that with city money?"
Drew Police Chief Simon Bush said he could not comment on the situation.
The Sunflower County District Attorney's office said they had no knowledge of the conflict, and the secretary of state's office and attorney general's office said policies do not allow them to neither confirm nor deny an investigation.
Kilpatrick said he has kept his distance from city hall since losing the election in hopes of not crossing any boundaries but he is wholeheartedly pursuing answers to the accusations.
"If he did this he completely lost my respect," said Kilpatrick. "You should never bribe someone to get votes.
"I feel that everything will work out in my favor. I want the community to know that I still want to serve as mayor for the city of Drew if we find out these accusations are true."
Kilpatrick said he was also convinced affidavit votes from the election were counted incorrectly.
The Bolivar Commercial will have more information on this dispute as information becomes available.

The 12th consecutive running of the Landmine MTB Classic in Wompatuck State Park will be held on Sunday 09/09/12. As many of you know this is the season finale for the Root 66 series, the longest single lap course in the Root 66 series (possibly all of New England), only event in the series that offers a Marathon category, and in the top 2 or 3 races in New England in terms of field size only beaten by VT50.
100% of the proceeds from Landmine go directly back to the Friends of Wompatuck (FOW) to support maintenance efforts, trail improvements, outreach, and educational programs in Wompatuck. These programs go far beyond MTB specific activities, FOW caters to all forms of recreation. We are very proud of our efforts to continue to offer a great event at a reasonable entry fee that supports activities in a park we're passionate about.
This year we've modified the course very slightly to add a little more singletrack. Link dump below for registration info, map, GPS tracks, etc. As a reminder, pre-registration not only helps our organizers out greatly, it saves you $$. No day of penalty and FOW is paying BikeReg fees for the second year in a row. The price you see is exactly what you pay!

Example Compassion Projects
The redesign of courses to embed Service Learning (S-L) assignment options is anticipated to be a fairly straightforward process. Academic departments will identify the core courses and electives in their departments that provide a close connection to the purposes of the QEP. Faculty who teach those courses will identify a particular assignment that already exists (or possibly design a new assignment) that may allow for an S-L optional assignment. Students who choose (students will do only four S-L options under the umbrella of The Compassionate Servant project) to do an S-L assignment in a particular course will notify the professor and will substitute an S-L option for the normal required assignment. Individual faculty will work with the QEP leadership to ensure that the S-L assignment- option workload is comparable to the outside-of-class workload of the original assignment. This would include the 12–14 hours of service required to complete the S-L assignment. Some academic departments have already identified courses where this will occur. The following are current courses that have identified a current required assignment that will provide for a substitute S-L assignment.
NT105 Romans
The Romans class is a required class in the ThM curriculum. It currently requires a ten-page theological paper based on exegesis in the book of Romans and written on a topic related to Paul's doctrine of sanctification/salvation with emphasis on the objective (theological) and subjective (ethical) dimensions of the course. The New Testament Studies department has identified this assignment that will provide an S-L alternative assignment for the QEP.
BE104 Old Testament Prophets
In this required ThM course, students may choose the following optional QEP S-L assignment as one of their optional assignments in the class.
A Biblical Theology of Suffering
Students are required to do a personal assessment of their time spent as it relates to the various types and aspects of "suffering" ministries (10-12 hours outside of the classroom). This can include disability ministries, but any and all ministries related to "suffering" can be included, such as hospital visitation, Celebrate Recovery, support groups, counseling programs, church outreach, homeless ministries, etc. Students will write a 5 to 7 page reflection paper based on the experiences of the student as they relate to pertinent passages in the Prophets dealing with the responsibility of the Christian toward the poor, orphans, widows, disabled, etc.
On the first day of class, ThM students who opt to do this assignment as part of their requirement of Service-Learning will write a concise yet thorough, logical, and elemental paper on a biblical theology of suffering. For the purposes of this assignment, students will assume a "lay" audience such as a church congregation or study group. Students will be graded on how well core elements of a biblical theology of suffering are included/explained with a logical progression and concluding applications.
Style and form will account for 20% of each student's grade; 60% will be based on adequate and thorough coverage on a biblical theology of suffering, and the remaining 20% will be based on the student's ability to defend his/her position based on passages from the Prophets.
BE105 The Gospels
In this required ThM course, students may replace the four application projects, "How Is This Book Significant?" with the following optional QEP S-L assignment.
A Day in the Life
Students will be required to rent or borrow a manual wheelchair. The student will choose one full day (8 to 10 hours) and utilize it as part of their "normal" day routine. A visitation to at least two public establishments is required. It is recommended that the student go to places that he or she does not normally visit or is known – this can include restaurants, libraries, a church (once again, try to not go to your home church if Sunday is chosen), or some other public institution. It is recommended when possible that a friend go to the above places with you in order to provide transportation and also to provide feedback on the experiences. This is not an exercise of "deception," but a chance to sense and feel what it is like to "live" for several hours in a wheelchair. Take mental notes of how you are perceived and looked upon in the above establishments. If asked about your "disability," be honest and inform the one who asks regarding the assignment and its purpose.
Upon completion of the "Day in the Life," write a 4-5 page paper reflecting on the experience and lessons learned and relate those lessons to one of the disabled people that encountered Jesus in the Gospels.
BE107 Hebrews, General Epistles, and Revelation
In this required ThM course, students replace an interaction assignment with the following optional QEP S-L assignment.
Interaction Assignment
This assignment will count as part of a Service-Learning assignment. Students will interact with one of the following applying the principles that they have observed from the study of James or 1 Peter. Focus is on the application of passages from one of these books to the student's experience in the field. Choose one of the following.
- Visit, observe, and interact with a church Disability Ministry.
- Evaluate and assess the interest and need for a Disability Ministry in your home church if one does not exist.
- Interview an individual who works in a Disability Ministry field.
- Interview an individual with a disability or family who has a member with a disablement. Seek to gracefully listen and learn from their perspective regarding life with disability (not counsel, not judge, and not instruct).
- Visit, observe, and interact with a "grief" or disability-related support group. Both Christian and secular groups (such as a "Parkinson's Group", a "Cancer Support Group", hospice care, or a hospital chaplain) can be visited.
- Shadow a Home Health RN, Physical Therapist, or Occupational Therapist for up to 3 hours.
- Attend and interact with attendees at a local Gospel Mission or homeless center.
- Other ideas that the student may have can be approved by the professor.
A minimum of 12 total contact hours are required. Write a 4 to 5 page reflection paper regarding the type of ministry or group observed, the experiences themselves, and lessons learned. At least three written sources are to be referenced that correspond to the ministries observed. For example, if a Parkinson's support group or a Disability Ministry is visited interact with the passages from your book choice (James or 1 Peter) from at least 3 sources on either James or 1 Peter as those sources apply to what you have observed.
BE547 A Biblical Theology of Suffering, Disability, and the Church
This elective in the Bible Exposition department requires the same Interaction Assignment as required in BE107 above.
ST106 Eschatology
The Eschatology class is a required class in the ThM curriculum. It requires a ten-page research project designed to ensure the student's ability to carry out academic research on some aspect of eschatology. This assignment has been identified by a faculty member who teaches the course as an assignment that will allow for a QEP S-L alternative assignment for students who select that option.
WM101 Introduction to World Missions
This required ThM course includes an assignment that requires students to "cultivate a friendship during the course of the semester with an international non-Christian who is outside the Seminary environment and from a culture different than their own." The department chair of World Missions and Intercultural Studies sees this assignment as allowing for an optional S-L alternative assignment.

Freshman Caroline MacAusland twirled a nifty two-hitter and Ana Coscorrosa ripped a double to score Jennifer Ringle with what turned out to be the winning run in the fourth inning. "Ana hit a changeup and Ringle (who had earlier singled) just flew around the bases," pointed out coach Emily Russell. McAusland had seven strikeouts and walked two. Coscorrosa was a perfect 3-for-3. Savanna Bell had Lee's other hit.
The Lady Flames defeated the top pitcher in the SSAC. Caroline Sagrera came into the contest with a 30-7 record and a 1.37 ERA. She also had recorded 373 strikeouts and walked 30.
The Badgers threatened to tie the thriller in the seventh. The first hitter walked and took second on a sacrifice bunt. An infield hit followed; Spring Hill could have tied the game if the ball had gotten through, but shortstop Ringle made a diving stop to hold the runner at third. A strikeout followed to end the contest and give the Lady Flames the hard-earned title.
Coach Russell praised the work of catcher Meghan Macias. "Meghan worked hard behind the plate. Caroline was throwing drops and change-ups and Meghan kept everything in front. I can't say enough about my entire team and their focus this week. I'm proud to coach them and this season is far from over."
The Lady Flames, ranked third in the latest NAIA poll, improved to 44-9 overall. They defeated the No. 12, 15 and 20th-ranked teams to win the SSAC crown. They will be hosting the opening round of the NAIA National Tournament beginning one week from Monday.
Notes: MacAusland was in the hospital Monday and Tuesday with severe dehydration and a GI virus. "She pitched like a champion all week. We were able to throw four pitchers and start three different girls," said the pleased Russell.
Right before Sunday's game started, Lee University held a special memorial service for coach Jack Souther, who passed away on Monday. "It was a special days. Before we got off the bus at the park, we did our devotion and talked about coach Souther and what he meant to me and other coaches. I told them that he cleared the weather because he wanted to see us win this championship. I told them this one was for him," said coach Russell. Jack Souther was Lee's first softball coach back in the mid-1980s.

Central Avenue, the oddly named street that runs north from
During the past couple of years, Central has started to come to life, welcoming restaurants, art galleries, some unusual shops and social service agencies. A new sense of energy enables the visitor to see past the remaining empty storefronts, unattractive business buildings and vacant lots toward a future totality.
What matters now is the way in which the streetscape is consistent in scale and placement as it progresses from
Although some of the new buildings are higher than their older cousins, there are no blatant breaches of vertical alignment. Most structures meet the sidewalk at the property line, providing the pedestrian a pleasing sense of scale and containment, particularly as much of the street is graced with arcades and lined with what will grow to be a tree canopy if allowed to mature.
Central Avenue begins at Five Points, where it's flanked at first by the massive
A few distinctly ordinary relics of the past line the street as it approaches and crosses Fruitville, but soon you see a group of attractive home-decorating shops under the awning of a 1930s era building now painted a glowing terra cotta. At the intersection with
Still, the scale of the new building is appropriate, even if the color scheme is not. On the west side of Fifth, a low structure of uncertain age now houses some trendy architects, while a restored church is partially occupied by another. Across the street, on the east end of Fifth, a snazzy red frame has been attached to a geometric pair of white buildings, one of which now houses the art gallery of Allyn Gallup, known for his uncompromising support of modern art and architecture.
Back on Central, the Sarasota Olive Oil Company and Derek's Casual Cuisine have staked out a new frontier in providing unusual food and a convivial atmosphere to those who venture north of Fruitville. The recycled buildings of the Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences add a raffish air to the street, leading toward the reborn garage that is Home Resource, selling cutting-edge furniture and furnishings in a thoroughly industrial setting. As you proceed north, the imposing new headquarters of Planned Parenthood, designed by ADP, is nearing completion. Its colliding shapes and colors, some geometric, some sensuously curved, are refreshing and modern without any hint of threat, appropriate to its future clientele.
An attractive police department substation and resource center, near the historic
Central Avenue hasn't quite made it yet, but it's on its way to assuming an interesting identity: a somewhat gritty street, full of real life and character, not just a pretty postcard for the New Urbanism. Realizing that vision is important, not only for Central itself, but also for the entire
With any luck, Central will soon justify its name.

Ethane cracker plant a major coup for Wood CountyNovember 15, 2013PARKERSBURG — The proposed development of a new petrochemical complex - the ethane cracker plant - in Wood County will be a game changer for the entire state of West Virginia, the governor said......

It was so said seeing what GE did to the old Borg Warner business and to see the plant leveled. It will be nice to see some life into that old property. 7 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoshBrownIt's not going to be built in WV its going to be built farther south near a port.There just saying it might be built so they can get the pipeline approved.It doesn't make since to have a plant this far north when you have to pay to have it trucked south. 2 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » jmrafeldOut of all the things to disagree with, I can't believe that anybody could disagree with asknot on their statement? You're saying you DO want asthma, cancer and heart attacks? I'm not even commenting on the statement made, just surprised that people could actually disagree with that statement. 4 Agrees | 9 Disagrees | Report Abuse » thegreekThe disagreement is that the emissions are bad enough to cause cancer and astma and heart disease. I know MANY 80 something year old RETIREES and current employees of these plants that do not have these maladies that people say this pollution is causing... AND these workers have spent their ENTIRE lives/careers wallowing in the ash, coal and dirt from these plants!!!! I cannot get anyone to answer this question yet !!!!If it is killing thousands of people in the valley, why isnt it killing the people that have retired from the plants???? Many are 80 years old and healthy !!! 7 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » thegreekAnd, WV has always gone the extra mile to attract industry and business into the state.

Don't newer cars produce less emissions than 40 year old cars? Advancements in engineering have been known to happen. 6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoshBrownThe more I read about the company and everything going with the pipelines and everything else.I will dance nude through the streets of the city only wearing one sock when they start construction on the plant.But don't worry the plant is never going to get built. 3 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoshBrown@Youdon'tknow If you read real news about articles you can learn facts.But nice try on the spin. . 3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TessieGreek, the workers have as much risk from the emissions as everyone else living in the valley. The problem isn't so much that it affects workers, but that it also affects every person, plant, animal, and stream that the emissions come into contact with. Yes, the emissions standards have come a long way from when I lived in Steubenville and couldn't see more than 2 feet in front of me on some bad days due to the coke plants. But they still have a very long way to go to be safe to the environment. Please stop sticking your head in the sand. Get some real knowledge behind you before making statements about something you are ignorant of. 2 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BeRightJapan took a major step back on Friday from earlier pledges to slash its greenhouse gas emissions. Under its new goal, Japan, one of the world's top polluters, would still seek to reduce its current emissions. But it would release 3 percent more greenhouse gases in 2020 than it did in 1990, rather than the 6 percent cut it originally promised or the 25 percent reduction it promised two years before the 2011 nuclear disaster. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BeRightFirst they complain about Stupidville and then they move here and complain about the Valley. Then some people say how great it is living on the coast while they live here. 4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » thegreekIgnorant hey? Sticking my head in the sand hey?? Well Missy. I have worked in these coal fired power plants for 35 years and I was trained by the best older generation American veterans that went into the boilers and silos and we didn't have safety programs like we do now !!! AND them old guys are living to be 80 years old that were COVERED with this crap that you breathed and the hippies of the 60's that are now in charge of the EPA and Greenpeace say are killing everyone. I thing it is a lie and the smoke from diesel trucks and the chemicals in the food is killing everyone..!!!!Don't be tellin people they don't know when they do. 5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » thegreekIF it is so much of a cancer causer as you claim then the law of averages say the workers should be dropping like flies because of their exposure !!!!They should have a shorter life expectancy and be in the cancer hospital way more than the general population RIGHT??? WRONG... You have failed to make a valid point... You are just claiming something you cannot prove just as the rest... 5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » thegreekI am still here waiting for you or someone to give me a FACTS based answer why the people that retired from the coal powered plants are not dropping like flies if the plants are truly the cause of all of this cancer, lung diseases and death !!!! It just does NOT wash...!!!We will find out in a few years when the air is really clean, we are paying double for our electric bill, that people are still suffering from these illnesses and from auto exhausts. 5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » RANDOM21The trade off of dismantling an old chemical plant (SABIC) and replacing it with a new one will be astounding. Much higher production rates with lower emissions. The Houston article compared old with now and the reductions as they happen. With the loss of another tax paying entity replaced by a tax exempt one has the tax people wondering who or what will replace the loss. With overestimation of the number of workers to build the plant and probably the permanent workers at the new plant also high the return will take much longer to come to pass. The market is saturated with natgas and it's components. This plant would have no problem receiving all it could handle and more. Natrium and Sherwood are both expanding their stripper units and both will be able to handle a billion cubit feet per day very soon. Thee products have to go elsewhere to be further refined.

I would be nice to see the Mets would go after Shohei Otani.
Yeah would be great, kid already throws 100 mph at 18 years old.
Big kid too at 6'4 but i hear Boston and LA are already scouting him heavy.
Probably too rich for the Mets blood (but what isn't nowadays )

On Metsblog, they said Rosenthal said that Upton could be had still in a deal based around a SP. I would def try to trade Dickey in a deal for him. Niese is a guy you want around for a long time. Imagine that
I am really surprised the Diamondbacks want SP with Bradley, Skaggs, and Bauer not to mention all the SP they already have.
I still don't think the Mets have enough with SP like Dickey or Niese and Flores but it wouldn't be the first or last time i was wrong.

Maybe we can do Dickey and Flores for Upton and one of their younger SP. Dickey has pretty high values due to the season he just had
"Mr. Martin Tanner, Baritone, of Dayton, Ohio made his Town Hall debut last night. He came well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation was not up to contemporary professional standards. His voice lacks the range of tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting. Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order."
If we were to trade Dickey, it would be to a team in true need of a front line starter who would be willing to give up their top prospect(s).
If we trade Dickey, it needs to be for young players with great potential. Trading for Upton would be something the Mets do to become a contender. By trading Dickey for him, it doesn't really make much sense.
Of course it makes sense. Upton just turned 25 and is not even in his prime.
Only problem is that he makes too much money for us.
The road numbers have to scare you a bit too last year.
wOBA on the road of .298 & wRC+ of 79.
Chase Field is one of the best bandboxes in the league, i wonder how much of that inflates Upton's numbers.

He's still a talent, he will do good no matter where he plays.
