The board established some new daily reporting methods on crop shipments and destinations, "which is important information for marketers to use."
Board meetings have been well-attended, Zanobini said, and he lauded board committees for the progress they have made.
"Our research committee and our export and trade committee have done a phenomenal job," he said. "I think that makes all the difference."
Funded by growers, packers
The board is funded jointly by cherry growers and packers. The assessment for the coming year had not been determined as of early April, but Zanobini said it would be less than 10 cents per box, with a goal of 8 cents.
Industry members seem pleased with the new board.
"It's working very well," said Maurice Cameron, president and global sales manager for The Flavor
Tree Co. LLC, Hanford, Calif., sales arm of Warmerdam Packing LLC. "I think it makes a lot more sense (than the old board)."
"It's working out great," agreed Jeff Colombini, president of Lodi Farming, Stockton, Calif. "It now covers the entire California cherry industry."
"It's been very successful, in my opinion," said Larelle Miller, saleswoman for Morada Produce Co, Linden, Calif.
Many grower-shippers are pleased because per-box assessments are lower, and funds will be used for research rather than generic promotions.
"I think (research) is what growers are concerned about," she said.

The Austin Effect
If we're actually going to learn something from Austin, it can't just be talk
It was my idea to send editor Brennan Nardi to Austin for a little journalistic spade work on this city Madison is being encouraged to emulate.
Despite its Texas-sized reputation, I don't think a lot of people really know the whole Austin story. I know I've learned a lot in the last eighteen months or so, enough to convince me there is considerable merit in using Austin as a model for a successful, regional economic development strategy, and give some valuable context to the last five years of work by the Collaboration Council/Thrive/Madison Region Economic Partnership.
But I wanted to be sure. So did Brennan. If we were going to adopt the let's-be-like-Austin thing, we wanted to be sure we really wanted to be like Austin. And I believe we do. Want to be like Austin. But not be Austin. And that's a big difference.
I direct your attention to Brennan's story in this month's magazine for the well-researched and presented details. It's helped move my thinking forward quite a bit, an evolution in twenty-first century urban living conceptualization that I think is healthy.
Madison, and the surrounding region, needs an aggressive but realistic plan. It needs new businesses, new jobs and new opportunities for creating wealth. It needs a distinct identity that separates it from every other city/region in the world. It needs a story. It needs more visionary, committed community leaders, more investment, more modern mass transit and a signature event. A clever slogan wouldn't hurt. Dozens of cities around the country are saying exactly the same thing. Austin's got 'em. Thus the emulation part, as in "to strive to equal or excel." But not "to become." That's different.
It seems to me we have two tasks ahead of us: The first is to take advantage of the lessons Austin's learned. The second is to mold those lessons into Madison.
The lessons are not insubstantial. Opportunity Austin's Gary Farmer (again, check out Brennan's story for details) told Madison Region Economic Partnership (MadREP) folks to:
1. Commit to the plan.
2. Earn the respect of regional partners.
3. Expect contributions from EVERYONE.
4. Have fun.
5. Prepare for obstacles from no-growth proponents by being rock-solid sure of the merits of growth. ("And your arguments better be good.")
6. Include your young people.
7. Raise the bar for everybody. ("Set goals higher than what you think achievable.")
These are dead-on recommendations. We'd be dumb not to follow them.
This is going to take money. I've said that before. And without it you can kiss this chance goodbye. Austin's raised a ton, north of $20 million most recently, I'm told.
But you want to know how they're spending it? Thirty-two percent on primary and secondary education. Seventeen percent on transportation. Farmer says Opportunity Austin 3's target areas are congestion and the poverty rate, especially the child poverty rate.
Oh, do we have a lot to learn from Austin. But that's the point. Looking at investments in education, transportation and child poverty as economic development is working in Austin, but it feels so Madison, doesn't it? Same for water quality, agriculture, food systems and production, biking and co-working space (think Capitol East District)—all assets found uniquely in the Madison region.
We don't need to be weird. (We've already mastered that.) We need to be Madison.

Mar 20th 2012 4:12AM Lookie here men, another pro player that wants to tell us we're playing a video game wrong. I sure learned my lesson. The next new raid that pops up for LFR, I'll play JUST ONCE for the story, pass on any loot because they're "silly and not really progression", then quit my subscription early due to not having the time/luck/feel like to get into a "REAL" raid and using LFR for the sole purpose of showing peasants like me the story.
Yeah there's no ulterior motive here Adam. Blizz doesn't want me to keep coming back and resub$cribing so I can finally finish my tier set that keeps getting vendored because they wont change the loot rules for that very reason. Because playing wow for loot IS SO FRIGGEN WRONG.
God, people are so friggen thick, they cant possibly see how other people can play the game differently than them, or settle for anything less than praise for their beloved Blizzard.
Blue Posts: (More) LFR loot rules clarification, item squish, DotA-style BG, spoilers {WoW}
Mar 20th 2012 3:41AM God dammit I keep forgetting to turn off replies so I don't get spammed from 20 different people hatin' on my bluntness. The point I wanted to make was Blizzard won't "fix" the loot system so drops will be very unlikely to go to someone that already has it equipped. You all cool when someone wins gear you need but it ends up as vendor trash because joe shmoe won his 5th chest piece in a row?
Blizzard is cool with it, and thus another week added to farming the gear that went to waste. And let's be honest, every lfr dragon soul group is there for drops, not progression or the story.
Blue Posts: (More) LFR loot rules clarification, item squish, DotA-style BG, spoilers {WoW}
Mar 19th 2012 11:06PM You heard it here folks. Wasted loot is OK with Blizz. They want you to pay for another month because you lost out on that bow or sword AGAIN that went to some moron that left before distribution and is now sitting in a hollow chunk of Deathwing, lost forever.
Mists of Pandaria: Cool class stuff we found {WoW}

Mists of Pandaria: Siege of Orgrimmar {WoW}
Mar 19th 2012 11:31AM My prediction: All of the war crime charges the horde have done will fall squarely on Garrosh, who will die and take anything bad the represents the horde with him, giving the fraction a clean slate. Also to make room for the grand entrance of the Messiah, Jesus of Azeroth, who will return to the horde bringing his superman powers with him.

Breakfast Topic: What would be your biggest Mists of Pandaria surprise? {WoW}
Mar 18th 2012 12:39PM I want to hear about new character models. Thats the single most important thing I want in the expansion. Call me crazy or shallow, but if I can see how beautiful remade and reanimated my millions of toons are, I'd definitely come back to play MoP. A huge company like Blizz shouldn't be dragging their feet with even seemingly unimportant aesthetic upgrades. Not when they got even more very good competition, from TERA's action combat completely free of auto target/attack, to GW2's thoughtfully created personalized player stories. And of course, beautiful characters and environments.
Completely new and updated player models are what a lot of people want and have been asking for a long time. Id be pretty insulted if they only thing they did was add a few more half assed punch and kick animations to the current models and call it a day. It pretty much says, "Buy and play the new expansions races if you want a cool character that isnt made of suck."

Winter bills are charged a 1% penalty from February 15th - 29th. As of March 1st all unpaid tax bills are sent to Oakland County for delinquent collection. Each unit we collect for has a different fiscal year; the 2014 time periods covered for each unit are as follows:
Summer Winter Fiscal Year Huron Valley 100% 7-1-14 to 6-30-15 OCC 100% 7-1-14 to 6-30-15 ISD 100% 7-1-14 to 6-30-15 SET 100% 10-1-14 to 9-30-15 Oakland County 100% 10-1-13 to 9-30-14

If you need to change the name or address on a property call our assessing department at 887-3791 x 3.
To figure out your tax bill take the millage rate times your taxable value divided by 1000. Example:
A home has a SEV of 75,000 and a Taxable value of 50,000 31.2852 (2013 Homestead millage rate) X 50,000(taxable value) / 1000 = $1564.26

UBC Mathematics Appoints New Head
January 3, 2012
Professor Michael Bennett, an expert in Number Theory and Diophantine problems, has been appointed head of the Department of Mathematics effective January 1, 2012.
Bennett received his PhD in mathematics from UBC in 1993, and after appointments at the University of Michigan, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, rejoined UBC as an associate professor in 2001.
"Mike's UBC roots extend back several decades," says Simon Peacock, Dean of Science. "Since returning his service to the university has included teaching introductory to graduate-level courses, serving as acting department head, and sitting on the faculty's senior appointments committee. I look forward to working with Mike over the next few years to advance mathematics at UBC."
Bennett is internationally recognized for his research, which focuses on using modern techniques to tackle classical Diophantine problems. He takes over leadership of the department from Rachel Kuske, who served as head for 4.5 years and was recently appointed Senior Advisor to the Provost on Women Faculty.
The Math Head Search Committee consisted of Alejandro Adem, Anne Condon, Dan Coombs, Kyle Hambrook, Mark MacLean, Connor Meehan, Malabika Pramanik and Lee Yupitun.

HEA contributors Mary Grzesik and Jessie Potts are hanging out at the RT Booklovers Convention this week in Kansas City. (Jealous!) While they're there, they promised to send me snippets of their days so I can share them with HEA's readers. So here we go ...
From Jessie on Tuesday night's pre-RT Cinema Craptastic:
What do you consider a "bad movie"? Well, Damon Suede (author of Hot Headand Grown Men) owns more than 4,000 movies, and many are what he considers bad. Tuesday night at RT13 was a night of snark, mayhem and really cheesy acting. The movie of choice was The Covenant, one where all the leading men are oiled up (seriously, in every scene), and the lead actress has a magic tattoo that reappears and disappears in random scenes. Can anyone say perfect drinking game?
It wasn't all snark and quips ... well, all right, it was, but it was also a great environment to meet your favorite authors in their jammies, their iPhones and Twitter feeds at the ready. The trending topic was #RTMovieSlam and, let me tell you, when a group of authors, readers and, yes, a few hot cover models, get involved, there is talk of waxing, eight-packs, tiny shorts and broken glass. There was also a ton of prizes (I won a Samhain glass!), free books and a chance to giggle as the hilarious Damon shouted commentary at the most inappropriate — or should that be appropriate? — scenes. Here are some of my favorite tweets, but check out #RTMovieSlam and #RT13 for more hilarity!
From @Cassandra_Carr: I had no idea one of the dudes in The Covenant was Stefenie Meyer's choice for Jacob in Twilight. Interesting. #RTMovieSlam
From @laurakayeauthor: ROFL @TereMichaels: #RTmovieslam Meanwhile back at the headmaster's office a sad lack of spanking.
From @Lea_Nolan: Why is the English teacher now teaching American History? Can't this fancy boarding school afford more teachers? #RTMovieSlam #RT13
From @BookTaster (aka Jessie Potts): #rtmovieslam it won't be a wasted fight scene if they take off their shirts ...
From @TereMichaels: #RTMovieSlam This girl is the most trusting person in the world. And has clearly never seen a horror movie.
From @JoyfullyReviewed: #RT13 #RTmovieslam oh boy. This movie is bad but the guys are hot. So conflicted
Obviously, a craptastic time was had by all.
Mary Grzesik shares her activities on Wednesday (she got to meet a lot of her favorite authors) …
• I visited the International Party hosted by RT Magazine founder Kathryn Falk. Many countries were represented. We have authors here from England, Germany, South Africa, Brazil and Australia. I got to meet one of my faves: Aussie Jess Dee. I wrote a fan e-mail years ago regarding her book Steve's Story. I was impressed with the bravery it took to write a book that was a Happy For Now. She really appreciated the support, and we've kept in touch, so it was a thrill to finally meet her. Yes, I teared up.
• I went to the presentation Reinventing the Modern-day Romeo, chaired by author Louisa Edwards. Panelists included Beth Ciotta, Victoria Dahl, Sarah Frantz, Erin McCarthy and Shannon Stacey. Very funny ladies talking about "real life" heroes.
• I finally met my idol Sarah Frantz. I enjoyed her reviews and now she's the acquisition editor at Riptide Publishing. She's a lovely, down-to-earth person.
• I met fellow HEAers Jessie Potts — truly a bright, shiny person — and Lea Franczak, one of my fave reviewers.
• At the same luncheon I met two of my fave M/M authors: Mary Calmes and Amy Lane. I scored some points when I showed Amy that I'm in the middle of her latest, Racing for the Sun.
• At dinner, I caught up with Heidi Cullinan — her next release is Love Lessons from Samhain in October. Also at dinner: Marie Sexton, whose Never a Hero comes out May 7 from Riptide; Elisabeth Staab, whose Hunter by Night releases on Jan. 7, 2014, from Sourcebooks (the cover is gorgeous); and Damon Suede, who led Cinema Craptastic on Tuesday night. Damon has two series, one called Scratch, about a sex demon, and Itch, contemporaries about comic book writers. I'm very intrigued. The first Scratch story is Horn Gate, which releases May 6 from Dreamspinner Press.
• I met up with Kate McMurray, who wrote one of my faves, Out in the Field. Her next release is Save the Date, a contemporary comedy releasing June 4 from Loose Id.
• I overheard someone say that Stephani Hecht's shifters are her guilty pleasure. Her latest, The Angry Dove and the Assassin, released this week from Extasy Books.
It was a good busy day, and there's more planned for Thursday!
Check back with HEA tomorrow for more RT goings-on (and hopefully some fun photos)!
Mary Grzesik got her start reading cereal boxes. She loves tennis, reading books, talking about books and writing about books. She can't decide which is her favorite thing: her e-reader or her tennis racket.
Jessie Potts, also known as Book Taster, adores books in all forms. She is a top 1,000 reviewer on Amazon and also does reviews for Bitten By Books and AllRomance.com.

text: I am a self employed professional furniture maker/woodworker/contractor. Married to a wonderful woman and have two great sons, two great dogs, and am now a proud grandpap. I started playing guitar in 1964, guess who prompted that? I still have the 1949 O-18 that I found hiding in a closet at home, my dad told me not to touch it! Wrong Dad!!!!!!!!!!Don't tell your kids not to learn music or play music. I filled the hours of teenage angst surfing and learning chords, riffs, etc. and naturally gravitated to the three chord stuff because I could hear the changes and didn't need a degree in music theory to play. I much later took two years of classical lessons with a cat named Guy Horn. I have persistently, and consistently played stringed instruments since I was sixteen. Currently, I play music with several different people and pickup groups. My woodshop has served as the setting for at least a hundred jam sessions. I play at a local nightclub R&B/Jazz jam session fairly often. I have recorded several songs to tape but have no CD. I play a fairly decent bluesharp. While in the US Navy I kept one in my pocket constantly and really got my chops together and learned from listening to James Cotton, Blind Owl Wilson, Paul Butterfield, John Mayall, and Stevie Wonder as well as Norton Buffalo. I mostly play acoustic, but for the jamming I play an Asat Z3 G&L through a Prosonic Fender. I definitely am deeply into music as a form of self expression and spiritual manifestation, I write lyrics as well.

2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty Problems and Solutions
crankshaft OHIOPosts: 105i felt i should respond since i drive an 87 f150.i do remember hearing on a tv commercial that the new fords do have a boxed frame.i would think a boxed frame might be stronger but would be prone to rust out.once the muck finds its way in there it will rust.i think i would stay away from the fords just because of all the problems i read about on these forums.
mac24 Posts: 3,910..........I know it is 17 years old but to have the frame rot away? And not even on the more exposed to salt driver's side?
I'm no flag waver for Ford, but complaining about rust-through on a frame that's seventeen years old and is exposed to winter road salt.............please!!!!! :surprise:
Have a look at the 'Dodge Problems' forum and you'll see a lot of vibration problems there as well, though not as many as with the current F150. One alternative you might consider is an F250/350 Superduty. Similar pricing to the F150 and (virtually) no vibration issues. -
blckislandguy Posts: 1,150Mac24, thanks for the post. You're right: the F250 and F150 are identical in price and the F250 fares much better in resale. Is the frame the same for a F250 as on a F150? (I realize the suspension is different.) We're told that the boxed frame on the Ram 1500 is the same as the 2500 but that there are more cross members on the 2500.
Please don't take me for a yuppie whiner about the rust through frame. I've never seen it happen before on anything we've owned (Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Cherokees, Grand Cherokees, Volvos, etc.) all of which are still in service and have seen many New England winters. -
goldbar Posts: 1
blckislandguy Posts: 1,150Mac24, thanks. No, I wasn't attributing vibration problems to boxed frames. I think that a boxed frame would in fact be preferable. The next time though I pop for a new pickup I'll do the Maine trick and spray used motor oil in a mixture of sawdust all over the bottom of the truck each fall.
jessed Posts: 1the bed on my truck bounces everytime I go over small bumps or uneven surfaces. I had it checked out at the dealership but they told me that all the new 2005's do this but this is not normal. It seems to bounce and vibrate more on the drivers side. It is very annoying. They told me they tightened down the bed but it still does the same thing. How do I fix this?
hottrod Posts: 1I have had this same problem with my F-150 (ignition coil)
I have replaced two of them within 90,000 miles
I wonder if there are alot of others with the same problems
Im going to guess probably so....
Other than this rather exspensive anoynce Im very happy with my F-150
Leave it to Ford to build a vehicle with electrical problems.
Go figure huh???? -
pbst Posts: 4Hi guitarjim. I'm considering the purchase of a 2005 F150 XLT SuperCrew (2WD). But the many posts re: vibration problems give me pause. I'd be curious to learn if your emergency brake fix worked long-term. If so, I may move forward with the purchase, especially given the huge discount I've been offered ($22.5k vs. $31k MSRP).

jtelesky Posts: 13Have called Ford Motor representatives and still waiting to hear from Ford regional representative. Still having the same dribble and vibration problem. Have written to my dealer but to no avail; they even ignore registered mail sent Nov. 8, 05. Truck has 800 miles on it. Will keep everyone posted and please do the same.
rarlaud Posts: 2After turning only one time the next inspection 2 weeks later showed severe heat cracks on the rotors.
Ford make some new rotors that are a little thicker and will stand up somewhat longer for the F-350. I haul heavy loads and the brakes have always been a problem.
Last 6 months or less.

rarlaud Posts: 2I have had a new short block installed at Ford.
When you take off from stop it accelerates like gang busters for the first 8-10ft and falls on its face. Afer a few seconds it runs normal and continues to excellerate.
If you punch the accerator peddel 1 inch and let off the desiel will stall completely. Not much fun shooting cross an intersection.
Removed chip and it still stalls.
What? -

jallan Posts: 2My 1998 F-150 Lariat ABS system began malfunctioning immediately after I replaced the left front brake caliper with a rebuilt and installed new bendix brake pads and bendix rotors. I have the 5.4 L engine with 72,000 miles. I believe I bled the system properly. The problem is that as I coming to a slow stop and am nearly stopped the ABS frquently actuates unexpectedly causing the truck to roll forward a foot or two further than I intended. This could cause an unsafe situation so I disconnected the fuse to disable ABS. My local independent garage could find no code called out. I have not yet visited a Ford dealer as I think they may have to spend a great deal of time on this. I hoped to solve the problem myself. Does anyone have any experience with this problem.
semac Posts: 3Hi All,
I just recently purchased a 2002 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab with the 4.0 liter/6cylinder engine with 95,000 km (Canada). The problem is I only get 250 km (150 miles) per tank of gas, is this normal? I called a Ford dealer and they say yes it is! This doesn't even meet the low end of their spec of 12mpg.
I'll go broke keeping this thing filled with gas. Any suggestions???? -
mac24 Posts: 3,910Saying you get 150 miles per tank doesn't really mean much, especially if the fuel gauge indicates empty while there's several gallons left.
You need to calculate your mpg by comparing miles driven and gallons used. Make sure you measure it over several tank fills, and if possible check the accuracy of the odometer with a GPS. -
95clubwagon Posts: 4My '95 Club Wagon with a 302 V-8 has an coolant leak.I am having a hard time detecting the source of the leak. I replaced the water pump about 40,000 miles ago; and have 155,000 miles on it now. The weap hole on the water pump shows no sign of leakage. All of the hoses look good. Any suggestions?
tadrag Posts: 10Get underneath and check below the back of the LH head (driver side). Mine had a slow leak that went undetected for a long time because the fluid hits a hot spot and evaporates before it hits the ground. I think the gasket between the intake manifold and the head is the problem one.

albertson Posts: 3Hi, I have a 1997 F250 Powerstroke truck. All was fine until I removed the right battery. It was out for about four days. I did nothing with the truck during this time. When I put the battery back in three or four relays (left side of dash on top and under the hood in front of the brake cylinder)will click away for roughly ten seconds then stop. This will always start again when I try to start it. Turning the key to the on position lights what look like the normal dash lights but nothing happens when I turn it to the crank position. I did find that the battery that was left connected in the truck was down to about five volts. After charging there was no difference. When I connect the first battery (when both are unhooked)it arcs like the lights or something are on. Everything is off. Sorry so long winded. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ed -
150ford Posts: 1I just had the same problem for the first time back in the first week of Nov. Took it to the dealership and all they could find was mosture in the coil park on # 4 cylinder. I have never had a problem with this until then. I have a 2000 f150 lariat 5.4L with 120,000 miles on it and I live in Fl with all that moisture and the age and miles on the motor you would think I would have had more trouble.
tadrag Posts: 10I had the same problem with my '98 4.6. I was changing plugs at 55,000 miles and found moisture in the number 4 RH plug socket (passanger side). The truck had been running OK, but had a check engine light and the code said bad wires and/or plugs. I talked to the local Ford shop and they said the moisture problem was common the 5.4's and less common on the 4.6, and that there was a fix related to the heater hose plumbing etc that hangs on the firewall above that bank of the engine. I never could locate a leak and shortly later traded it in.
Hope this helps.

"I love! love! love! All the Angel Books"
After the 1st few sentences, I'm hooked!! I can't close the book! I must keep listening until
I hear the whole book. I hope it won't take Debbie another 3 years before she finishes another book.
"Always Good!"
I've read all Janet's books and I can't wait for more!
I get started and can't quit till the book is over. I feel like the characters are like family.
Janet always puts a new spin on the characters.
"So Much Better than her last Book!"
This is a page turner!!
You can't wait for the next twist or turn. Just when you think you know where the plot is going; you are surprised. I hope she's working on another book with these same characters.
If so. I'll be first in line.
"Another GREAT BOOK!!!"
I love the way the characters are revealed and intertwined. Debbie Macomber has a way of making these characters your friends. She makes you want to pick up the phone and call them to see how they are getting on.
Can't wait for additional books.
"JANET HAS dONE IT AGAIN!!"
I didn't think it could get any better than the Plum books, but I was wrong! These characters
are superb!! Scott Brink portrayed the story masterfully. Every time I had to pause the story,
I couldn't wait to get back. I hope Janet and Lee are working on another book as we speak.
I will buy as many as they write and will recommend them to all my friends.
"Give Me More!!"
This is a new author to me...She's Great!!!
I want MORE!!!!
This is an unusual story of a homeless mother and child and how it affected the child as she became an adult.
We see homeless all over the country and many of us donate to help the shelters, but I
never thought of what happens to the children in the future. This story gave me a new
insight to think about.
Once you start, you can't wait to get to the next chapter. I finished the book in two nights.
Is this Anna's first book? I haven't found her listed in our library.
These Blossom Street stories make you feel like you could move to this city and walk into
each store and feel at home. Every time she introduces a new character, her description is
so complete that it's just a new friend, you haven't met yet.
I have read every bock she has written!
The Blossom St. Stories and the Angel Books are my favorites.
"A Nun in the Closet"
I love Dorothy Gilman's books. She is so imaginative with her storyline and characters. This is no exception!! You will get so caught up in the story, you want want to put it down!! Enjoy!!
"You can't put it down!!"
This is the fourth book in a series, but you don't have to start at the beginning.
You'll need many kleenexs! You'll fall in love with all the characters! All I hate is that there isn't a book 5!!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tori!
Facts about Tori
- Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Tori's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Tori is a 2-3 yr old pittie, who loves everyone she meets - she gets so excited she snorts like a pig! She really only wants to be a lap dog - if you think you would love a big lap dog, please contact us to meet Tori!!
If you are interested in one of our dogs please fill out an application:

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tori, a Youngstown American Staffordshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier for sale in Youngstown, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Youngstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Youngstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Youngstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Youngstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

'Walking With Dinosaurs' nicely mixes fun with fact
By Bill Zwecker Chicago Sun-Times Columnist December 25, 2013 10:50AM
Uncle Zack | Karl Urban
And the voices of:
Alex | John Leguizamo
Patchi | Justin Long
20th Century Fox and Reliance Entertainment present a film directed by Barry Cook and Neil Nightingale and written by John Collee. Running time: 100 minutes. Rated PG (for action). Opened Dec. 20 at local theaters.
Updated: January 28, 2014 6:11AM
During this year-end awards season, when most films are geared toward audiences looking for cinematic high art, it is good to see a decent movie clearly focused on younger audiences. So far, we have only the excellent "Frozen" in that kid-friendly category.
While "Walking With Dinosaurs" is far from perfect, it is an enjoyable romp that children and pre-teens — and the adults who join them at the multiplex — will find entertaining.
The 3D film is something of a spinoff of the well-regarded BBC series that both entertained and educated younger audiences about when the dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
The movie starts and ends with short live-action sequences. Charlie Rowe plays Ricky, the teenage nephew of Karl Urban's Uncle Zack, a dinosaur bone-obsessed paleontologist. As Zack, Ricky and Ricky's young sister head into the wilds of modern-day Alaska, the teen would love to be just about anywhere else — especially where he could get a cell phone signal!
A patient Uncle Zack doesn't push his nephew to join him on the hunt for fossils, leaving him behind at his truck, perhaps hoping the boy's natural curiosity will lead him to catch up a bit later.
Now the story turns fantastical as a cheeky crow swoops down and starts chattering — in English, natch — with Ricky. Named Alex (and perfectly voiced by John Leguizamo), he explains that his name is short for "Alexornis," a prehistoric ancestor to today's birds. As Alex soars skyward (and conveniently morphs into his far more colorful dinosaur-age predecessor), the story takes us on an Alaska adventure millions of years before today's biggest U.S. state even had a name.
We are quickly introduced to a herd of pachyrhinosauruses — and the hero of our tale, Patchi (voiced by Justin Long).
At this point, I do need to point out that the "Walking With Dinosaurs" story is quite predictable and not all that compelling. We have some very familiar sibling rivalry issues as runt-of-his-litter Patchi is constantly being one-upped by egotistical, bullheaded bigger brother Scowler (Skyler Stone). There is family trauma as the young dinosaurs' father has a nasty run-in with a gorgosaurus. Of course, there's a romance for Patchi with a pretty pachyrhinosaurus named Juniper (using "pretty" with a degree of restraint here!). And in the end, things work out the way one would expect they would — with loyalty and courage being rewarded.
I did like the way the film clearly explains the different dinosaurs and distinguishes the herbivores from the far more threatening carnivores. It's a smart way to drop a bit of education into the overall entertainment.
I must single out Leguizamo and the film's writers for giving this talented actor such spot-on lines. At the screening I attended it was clear both kids and adults laughed loudest, and together, at the things that came out of the mouth — uh, beak — of Leguizamo's quick-witted Alex.

see also: Nerve damage.
Bell's palsy occurs when there is nerve damage to the facial nerve that controls the muscles from the front of the face to behind the ear including some taste sensory functions and tear and saliva production. There are two facial nerves, (seventh cranial nerve) one on each side of the skull. They exit the brain cavity just below the ear and then divide and service the various parts of the face. The most common cause of Bell's palsy is inflammation from a viral infection the most common being the herpes virus that also causes cold sores. The viral infection causes inflammation that then puts pressure on the facial nerve.
Symptoms may include numbness or drooping in the face, difficulty with chewing or speech, drooling, dry eye, tearing, loss of taste, pain around the ear, and irritation from loud sounds.
Various disorders other than herpes simplex can also cause damage to the facial nerve and are also considered Bell's palsy but facial paralysis that commonly occurs with a stroke or a TIA are not considered Bell's palsy.

I was on this for about...a year, I think? Which is actually very dangerous as it can cause very serious liver problems if it's used long term. Anyways, after around month 2 my skin was completely clear aside from blackheads (which aren't related to bacteria anyways; this drug is not meant to treat them). It stayed that way for about 4 months afterward, and I felt amazing. However, I developed a resistance to it and it eventually stopped working.
I just started this about three weeks ago! It has worked incredibly well. I also use Proactiv. The medicine has dried out my face a lot though, seems to be going away. I recommend this. My friend also uses it and she has told me nothing but great things.
It has been 15 days since I began taking Minocycline and I must say I am very pleased with the results so far. I take 100 mg 2 times a day and will be brought down in 15 more days to 100 mg once a day. I read many negative things about antibiotics (i.e. antibiotic resistance, destruction of "good" bacteria in the gut, risk of getting blue skin) but, I believe it has been worth the risk, especially since I have been struggling with acne for 15 years. The side effects have went away. At first I felt dizzy and had a headache, but now I don't feel any of the initial side effects. It is up to each person to weight the risks/cons and the benefits/pros and decide for themselves if they way to use systemic antibiotics. From personal experience, I think Minocyline is superior to Doxycycline in terms of clearing up the acne, but it did have more intense side effects. I
I took Minocycline a few months ago. My acne is moderately severe and persistent. I'm 21 now and ever since I was 14, I have had at least 10 pimples (some cystic) on my face every day of these past 7 years. I've tried lots of topical creams and other antibiotics and this is the only thing that really cleared me up. I had almost no acne and even if a pimple did pop up, it was far less inflamed and cleared up much faster. It started working for me within the first few days of taking the pills. Definitely try this drug if nothing else has worked for you! I had no side affects whatsoever. My acne returned pretty much right after I stopped taking the pills though. Good luck! :)
i have had severe cystic acne on my face (cheek area) and then went to a dermatologist and had been offered accutane, but declined it. Minocycline was given as an alternative with Differin 0.1% gel. i had 200mg a day for 6 months and it worked wonders and left my face completely clear. After around 12 months once i got off minocycline, my cystic acne has returned but not as severe.
At first I was prescribed an antibiotic which I loved but unfortunately my insurance did not cover it, so I was prescribed to minocycline and to take two 50mg per day. When I first started taking this medication, it worked, although I felt extremely sick to my stomach. I eventually decided to only take one 50mg tablet at night before bed, and this has seemed to work. I have been doing the one pill for over a year now, and when I first started taking this medicine, it worked right away, but eventually has been less effective. I have stopped taking this medication for a week and I did notice that my breakouts occurred more often when I was off the medicine, so it is working, just not as strong as I like. Again, I am pretty sure it would work more if I took two pills rather than just one, but my stomach can't seem to handle this.
At first, I thought this was a godsend. My acne (which had gotten really bad after a few months on doxycycline) cleared up almost immediately. I still got the occasional pimple, but nothing like what I was getting before.
The side effects didn't really affect me too much - occasional stomach aches, light-headedness, trouble switching focus from things a long way away to things close, but these seemed to come for a couple of days and then go away again.
I was on two 50mg tablets a day (one in the morning, one at night). After about 2 months, I noticed that my rosacea redness and flushing (which I already had) was getting a lot worse. Sometimes, for no reason at all, I would flush for an hour or so, my face going bright red and burning like hell. This sometimes happened 7 or 8 times a day, and it was really making me depressed and anxious. I was constantly checking my face to see if I was flushing.
I then learned that other people had had trouble with this medication and flushing, and my derm had previously mentioned cutting back from two tablets a day to one, so I decided to try that (just taking it at night). At this stage, I was more preoccupied with the redness than the pimples, so I reasoned that even if the pimples got worse, if the flushing stopped, I wouldn't mind.
So I've been on 50 mg once a day for a couple of days now (also on Finacea at night) and this seems to be helping. I certainly haven't been flushing as much as I was before.
All in all, this medication definitely worked better for me than the doxycycline, so if you've tried doxy and it didn't work, give this one a go. Just don't expect it to work on a long-term basis.
At first, I started taking minocycline (antibiotics) in the morning, and found that it made me lightheaded, also you cannot eat dairy within one hour of taking it because it reduces the effectiveness of the antibiotics. I recommend taking it before bed. I had pretty moderate acne, which became a lot worse in the past year. Within four months of using the antibiotic (combined with clindoxyl cream and Retinol A gel) my skin cleared up COMPLETELY. I did experience extreme dryness (red, burning, flaking and peeling skin) with the use of these three medications, but after a while my skin adjusted and dryness went away. After around 4 months of antibiotics, I haven't had a noticeable pimple for a very long time. My skin is very clear, except for a few red marks from scarring, and continues to stay completely clear although I stopped minocycline a month ago. Overall, worked amazingly for me, consider this before trying Isotretinoin (Accutane). I can't remember the last time my skin was this clear!
Cold sweats. Feel like puking. Extremely dizzy. Not going to take it again. I walked to the kitchen a little bit ago and i could see stuff moving the way sparklers move when you wave em real fast. I'm having a really hard time even typing this right now because they backlight on my keyboard is freaking me out. I feel like my eyes are moving really fast. I'm going to lay down before I hurt myself.
I was on minocycline for a few months time. My acne started to clear pretty quickly but shortly after my acne must have built a resistance to this medications because I started to break out and it was worse than when I started. My dermatologist then decided it would be better to increase my dosage I agreed and suddenly side effects started to kick in. I woke up one morning and when I got out of bed my knees were in a horrific amount of pain and I collapsed to the ground. I was brought to the hospital right away because my knees were swollen beyond belief. The ER figured I had arthritis and put me on heavy steroids which helped. But after the steroids I would flare up again. I saw specialist after specialist and no one could figure out why I was flaring up. So finally I decided I was just going to stop all the medications I was taking because nothing was helping and I was getting sick. This included stopping the minocycline. Within the week of stopping the medications I was able to walk pain free and my knees went back to normal and lost all the inflammation. Months later I met with my dermatologist and she asked me why I stopped taking the mino. I explained the story and she said oh my god why didn't you call me and tell me that was happening. It was the minocycline causing the flare ups. It is a rare side effects but it can happen. Unfortunatly the damage had already happened and my joint have been damaged. This medication proved to be a 6 months nightmare for me.

This blog entry is a first person account by Carlos Caban "as told to" his Literacy Partners tutor.
I have overcome many obstacles throughout my life: a stutter, cerebral palsy, and the death of my twin brother. Four years ago, I decided to tackle one of my biggest challenges: learning to read and write at the age of 42.
My brother and I were sick a lot as children. I missed a lot of school because I spent months in the hospital. They would try to teach me, but that didn't help.
Reading got harder when I started missing school. I knew a lot, like how to defend myself and get a job, but reading was hard.
I dropped out in 10th grade. After I left school, I had trouble reading the Bible and filling out job applications. I knew how to fill out my name and phone number, but I had trouble on the other questions. I knew how to get around, but my problem was reading an address. I wasn't ashamed to ask for help, but it bothered me because I really wanted to know how to read.
I never hid my problem from my family. My first wife read letters to me, but when things started getting bad, I couldn't trust that she was telling the truth. She stopped me when I wanted to back to school. She said it was too late, but I was determined.
As soon as I left my wife, I told my social worker that I wanted to learn how to read and write. Literacy Partners was the first program she found.
Everyone was really happy for me to get started. My niece wrote to one of my brothers for me and he was really excited. My niece and nephews, who are now in college, always want to help with my homework.
Starting classes wasn't hard, but I was embarrassed. I remember seeing younger people and didn't know if I was in the right place. When people older than myself started coming in, that lifted a weight off my shoulders.
Literacy Partners has helped me so much. My favorite part of coming here is the wonderful people. When I go home, I can't take that big smile off my face. My brother always asks me how was school, and I say, "beautiful."
I am determined to get my GED. I did not even let my battle with cancer last year get in the way. I never missed one class. I wanted to fight cancer while pursuing my education.
The hardest part is taking tests — because I always want to do better. One time, when my score wasn't good, I had to go down a level. I was mad because I wanted to be challenged. My next score was good and I moved back up.
Although classes at Literacy Partners' Harlem location, PUSH (Partners United in Strengthening Harlem), are on a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedule, in February, I asked to go all four days. I can feel the difference it is making. My reading and math scores went up, and I'm moving to the next class in January. I'm in an Adult Basic Education center right now and can go to Pre-GED after I complete the next level.
Learning to read has changed my life. Now, it's easier to get around the city. You give me an address and I know how to get there. I don't have to worry about asking someone. I can pick up my Bible now and read it, or my newspaper. I might get stuck, but I can do it.
I am so grateful for Literacy Partners. My former teacher Emma is a role model, and so is my teacher Derrel. He pushes me to learn and we even go to the gym together. When I had a problem, my teacher said, "We're going to be by your side."
Even when I was going through radiation, my teachers kept trying to send me home to rest, but I knew if I stopped, I would have to start from the beginning. My family is so proud of me and I keep going because I am doing this for my twin brother and myself.
After accomplishing my GED, I want to be the first of eight children to attend college, and I want to inspire others to overcome adversity in their own lives by becoming a minister.
I am getting remarried next year and I know God has good things coming my way as I continue moving forward. I will never forget what my teachers have done in my life. I never thought I would get this far, but here I am, thanks to the Lord and my teachers, and my friends that have stood beside me.
Literacy Partners is a non-profit organization and the only nationally accredited adult literacy program serving New York City. The organization has helped thousands of New Yorkers learn the basic reading, writing and math skills needed to succeed in day-to-day living. Through successful collaborations with major corporations, community partners and benefactors, Literacy Partners offers free, small, welcoming classes taught by credentialed teachers, supported by enthusiastic, highly trained, volunteer tutors.

Ext4 Users Report Data Loss
The Ubuntu User Forum reports users with data loss after installing applications on the ext4 filesystem. Kernel developer Ted Ts'o is already on top of it.
A user reported as bug #317781 the data loss problem involving a Kubuntu Jaunty installation on the ext4 filesystem: "The first time I had this problem was a few days ago when after a power loss ktimetracker's config file was replaced by a 0 byte version." The problem recurred during a system failure: "After a clean reboot pretty much any file written to by any application (during the previous boot) was 0 bytes." In his case the KDE and Plasma configuration data was reset and MySQL files vanished. Another user ran into the same issue with a Gentoo installation on ext4.
As it became clear that the issue was hitting a number of users, kernel expert and pioneer ext4 developer Theodore Ts'o rushed into the discussion: "The short answer is (a) yes, I'm aware of it, (b) there is a (partial) solution, (c) it's not yet in mainline, and as far as I know, not in an Ubuntu Kernel, but it is queued for integration at the next merge window, after 2.6.29 releases, and (d) this is really more of an application design problem more than anything else."
Ts'o, current chief technologist at the Linux Foundation, took time in his responses to the bug to explain his work on ext4 and hands-on approaches to resolving the data loss problem (especially in this reply). He sees the cause of the problem to be the delayed allocation before a data commit in ext4 of 60 seconds (designed to enhance security and performance). The ext3 interval used to be 5 seconds, which Ts'o says began to be an expectation among developers: "Since ext3 became the dominant filesystem for Linux, application writers and users have started depending on this, and so they become shocked and angry when their system locks up and they lose data --- even though POSIX never really made any such guaranteed."
To help ease the file loss problem, Ts'o recommends for both ext3 and ext4, "If you want to force things to be stored on disk, you must use fsync() or fdatasync()." As an aside, Linux Magazine Online recently aired a video of Ts'o describing the stability of ext4 and its advantages over the experimental btrfs filesystem.

The FDA tested hundreds of samples of apple juice for arsenic and found the overall level of arsenic is low. Because a small proportion of samples had higher levels of arsenic, the FDA is now proposing an "action level" of no more than 10 parts per billion of inorganic arsenic in apple juice – the same level set by the Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water. Action levels represent limits above which FDA may take enforcement action to remove products from the market. Based on its investigation, the FDA is confident in the overall safety of apple juice for children and adults. The AAP reminds parents that it is not necessary to offer children any juice to have a well-balanced, healthy diet. For years, the AAP has recommended limited intake of all sweet beverages, including juice, to reduce the risk of poor nutrition, obesity and childhood cavities. If parents want to include juice in their children's diet, juice should be limited to 4 to 6 ounces a day for children ages 1 to 6 years, and 8 to 12 ounces a day for children age 7 and older. Children should be encouraged to eat whole fruits to meet their recommended daily fruit intake. The AAP will work with the FDA and other federal agencies to limit the level of arsenic in foods and drinks and will participate in discussions about decreasing arsenic exposure. Parents who have questions about their child's nutrition are encouraged to speak with their pediatrician. Information for parents: Arsenic in Apple Juice Arsenic: Health Effects and Exposure ### The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

DETROIT, MI — Healthcare reporters are in a tricky spot. They may understand that covering the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges is essentially a consumer story at this point. But the story is so politicized, it's difficult for those on the frontlines to navigate the fog.
Alex Nixon, a business reporter who covers the healthcare beat for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, said that he's working to keep coverage focused on what the law does, who it affects, and who it doesn't affect. "But the stories that seem to be gaining traction are the ones that seem to be politically motivated and affect a small group of people, [such as] canceled plans [and] rate shock," he said. (CJR's own Trudy Lieberman has written about the healthcare stories "sucking up so much of the media's attention of late," and who such stories leave out.)
"Navigating the politics of Obamacare is certainly one of the biggest challenges in covering this story. I'm trying to stay out of the politics, but it's very difficult," Nixon said.
Sarah Jane Tribble, a journalist with Cleveland public radio WCPN, echoed that point. "I do not face any pressure from the editors here to turn the stories into political stories. But I do think that the sources often try to do that."
Tribble and Nixon discussed this during a recent online roundtable that CJR's United States Project convened with reporters to candidly discuss the possibilities and pitfalls of chronicling the ACA. Also in the "room" were Steve Koff, Washington DC bureau chief for the Cleveland Plain Dealer; Ben Sutherly, Columbus Dispatch reporter; Trudy Lieberman of CJR; and myself. Our hope is that this will be the first of an occasional series of online conversations about best practices for healthcare reporting.
In this inaugural chat, sourcing for stories emerged as one of the top concerns for healthcare reporters. It's no surprise that groups both for and against Obamacare's implementation are working overtime to supply reporters around the country with sources friendly to their side. Families USA and Enroll America are private groups aimed at helping the government enroll millions of Americans for health insurance; they are also serving as reporter-ready anecdote banks supporting the ACA's implementation (meet, among others, "Steve W." from New York who was "able to purchase a comprehensive plan for $207 a month…The entire process took less than an hour …and the choices were transparent.") Meanwhile, for example, Senate Republicans are collecting and sharing anecdotes about the "real-life"—read: negative—"consequences of Obamacare."
Nixon, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, said that Enroll America reached out to offer up people "who've had really great experiences signing up for coverage and are paying very small monthly premiums because of subsidies." But, Nixon added, "Is that the general experience? Tracking down real people who've had experience and aren't politically motivated has been the biggest challenge so far."
Tribble, of WCPN, did a piece in September on Enroll America's first venture into Cleveland. But she said that while she wants to keep track of their recruitment efforts for reporting purposes, "I'm finding the folks they offer up [as sources] to be unique as opposed to representing the masses—so to speak." That is, even if the sources provided can attest to an authentically positive experience with the exchanges, Tribble has a reporter's natural skepticism when this is presented as a uniform experience.
But finding more representative stories from people who have signed up for the exchanges is tough. As Tribble pointed out, in states like Ohio, relatively few signed up by the end of November. (Ohio rejected the option of a state-run exchange, so residents relied on Healthcare.gov, which had well-documented glitches for the first months of its roll-out.). At the same time, Tribble said, no one is keeping a comprehensive running tally of enrollees. "Some insurers have [a tally] ready, others say they don't," she said.
So what's a fair-minded—and time-strapped—journalist to do to find local voices that don't have an agenda?
For starters, there are opportunities to bring fresh takes on the anecdote banks, as Tribble did with her Enroll America story. Another example is a piece from October by Lindy Washburn, a health reporter for The Record in northern New Jersey, which Trudy Lieberman hat-tipped here at CJR. Washburn went out with Enroll America's workers, joining them as they went down a bread line near a New Jersey trailer park and tried to explain the exchanges to people. According to Lieberman, Washburn spoke to many people on her own, choosing them at random, which "may be the key" for an original, not orchestrated, take.

Virginia Traffic Laws Reckless Ticket Speeding Fairfax County Beach
Virginia Traffic Laws
There are many traffic laws in Virginia that can cause a person to lose their license, lose their security clearance or lose their freedom.
Some of the different Virginia traffic laws that a driver in Virginia has to pay particular attention to are:
- Virginia reckless driving laws
- Virginia DUI laws
- Virginia speeding ticket laws
- Virginia driving on suspended license laws
Most Virginia traffic ticket convictions will result in points on your driving record. The Virginia DMV monitors the number of points on your driving record. Accumulate too many points and the Virginia DMV will administratively suspend your driving privilege in Virginia .
Certain Virginia traffic law violations are classified as a class 1 misdemeanor. A class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia is the most serious misdemeanor crime in Virginia . This means a reckless driving ticket in Virginia or a DUI in Virginia is as serious as a Possession of Marijuana charge or Assault & Battery in Virginia , etc.

text: One of the funniest things to me was the introduction of the "Garage Shout Outs" on the (then) Skream & Benga show on Radio 1, especially when they have guests come in. Remember when Goldie was in the building, killing it with his impression game? It's always hilarious, but on the real, Kurupt FM doing garage shout outs last week might be the best thing ever. Their humor is perfect for this, and Skream let's them do their thing. INSIDE! Seriously, Kurupt FM doing the garage shout outs weekly would be best.
