Global West Suspension's G-Plus control arms are designed for performance street applications. However, cars crossing over into drag racing or road racing are also utilizing these applications. G-Plus arms use stock or 2 in. drop spindles. They can also be used with ATS spindles. The arms have additional caster built into them and an improved camber curve. The combination keeps the tire flatter on the pavement. A bump stop is installed on the control arm, eliminating the stock one on the frame. The new bump stop location allows for a limiter, which can be installed for drag race applications.

Amish Quilts Denver Art Museum
Amish women from the turn of the last century didn't intend for their quilts to be works of modern art, but that's exactly what happened, as evidenced by last year's Amish Quilts exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. The quilts look much like the minimalist paintings done much later, but the Amish were guided not by aesthetics -- as the minimalists were -- but by a religious philosophy that called for plainness. They preferred solid colors in dark shades and fine dressmaking wool and fancy polished cotton, which turned the quilts into bold geometric compositions. DAM textile curator Alice Zrebiec put the show together using quilts loaned by Faith and Stephen Brown. Zrebiec's best decision was displaying the quilts as paintings.

Built with a unique, concave mouth and a bright prop blade at the rear, the PH Custom Lures Crazy Ace delivers a distinct mixture of popping and churning that really tears up the top water.
For an added durability and an enhanced action, the PH Custom Lures Crazy Ace features an aluminum tubing that runs from the nose to the tail and allows it to spin independently of the line-tie. Available in a number of tournament-winning colors, the PH Custom Lures Crazy Ace delivers competition-grade quality that you can count on when the money is on the line.
PH Custom Lures | Length | Weight | Class |
Crazy Ace Big | 2-3/4" | 1/2oz | Topwater |
Crazy Ace Little | 2-1/4" | 3/8oz | Topwater |
Comments: Awesome lure, walks, spits, chugs, depending on how you work it. One of the most versatile top waters on the market imho. Helped my son win the Ky state championship, after first trying several other top waters, this was the only one they would bite.
From: Ryoung: KY 10/7/14
Comments: One of the best top waters I have ever used. It spits, walks the dog, and has the prop action as well. The paint jobs are amazing as well. You won't be disappointed.

Where the New Hampshire independents are |
One of the X factors in the New Hampshire primary is how independents will divide their support between a couple different candidates who absolutely must win the state. A source sends over crosstabs from the NH Journal poll we posted this morning that provide a snapshot of unaffiliated voters, who made up 26 percent of the survey sample. This group looks a bit different from primary voters in general – but only a bit. The main takeaway: While Mitt Romney still leads with independents, his advantage is notably smaller. Ron Paul fares 4 points better with independents than with all GOP primary voters. Jon Huntsman doubles his support – going from 3 percent to 6 percent. Here's how independents shake out (results for all primary voters are in parentheses): Independents are supposed to be the savior of moderate candidates in New Hampshire, but these results suggest that plenty are receptive to insurgents of the tea party or libertarian variety, too. Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum take 40 percent of the independent vote, combined. Huntsman has more riding on this crowd than any other candidate, as Ben highlighted just now. So far, the reviews are mixed: 43 percent of independents say they have a positive impression of him, versus 46 percent who say they have a negative impression. That's substantially better than Huntsman's standing with GOP primary voters in general, but it still suggests that nearly half of unaffiliated voters could be unreceptive to a candidate who's betting big on their support. The caveat to these results is that independents made up a relatively small sub-sample of the NH Journal poll, representing 189 of 727 respondents. That means the margin of error is bigger and some of the smaller numerical variations shouldn't be given too much weight. |

Granted, he will get a few more runs and RBIs, but maybe not so many as you think since he would be hitting down in the order. Also, particularly in the case of the Yanks, he will be moving to a pitchers park. Don't forget that Olympic is the #2 hitters park in the NL behind Coors, and the stadium in Puerto Rico is such a launching pad that it makes Coors look like Pac Bell or Pro Player. So you can expect a drop in Avg and HRs, which does much to undermine any R or RBI gains.

Lewis Johnson Family Cemetery
Located in the Garret Community, Pittsburg Township, Johnson Co., AR, Sec. 29 - T9N - R22W, this small cemetery is part of Lewis JOHNSON's orignial preemption land entry, (patent issued in 1844.) It is the burial place of Penninah JOHNSON, wife of Lewis, the family of John T. JOHNSON, Sarah M. Johnson CAROTHERS, the daughter of Lavinia Jane Johnson BLACKARD, and at least six of Hannah Susan Johnson FARMER's children. (A Johnson Co. cemetery location index and some maps inaccurately place this cemetery well within Sec. 20. In fact, the major part of the cemetery is in Section 29 with several burials across the line into Section 20.)
Unkempt, a place to toss bottles and cans, overgrown with honeysuckle vines and out-of-control ornamentals, the cemetery was invisible from a few feet away. With the removal of underbrush, it emerged as a prime example of the transitional cemetery often found in the Upland South. Marked burials range from 1858 to 1955. The majority of graves are indicated by native fieldstone, several with stone copings. There are seven commercial tombstones in this cemetery. Penninah JOHNSON's grave is surrounded by a native stone, brick, and mortar structure and topped by a single stone, approximately five feet by nine feet by six inches thick. The inscription on this stone appears to have been professionally incised.
Decendants of the Johnson family have reclaimed this historic cemetery from decades of neglect. Clean-up work has been done by descendants of the Johnson and Zachary families, with assistance by Boy Scout Troop No. 149, and their troop leaders, Wallie Shaw and Howard Verweibe.
Improvements to the cemetery include removal of dead trees and overgrowth, and the planting of bulbs and flowering shrubs. A family cemetery association has been formed for the purpose of preserving and maintaining the burial place of the Lewis Johnson Family.
An annual clean-up and memorial observance is held on the 2nd weekend in October. Contact Harryette Graham to be placed on the mailing list or to send contributions for maintenance.
For more information contact: Harryette Graham or Debra Blackard.

Saturday Art: Hey Jude
9:26 am in Uncategorized by Crane-Station
Although Paul McCartney wrote Hey Jude, the song is credited to Lennon-McCartney. It was recorded and released in 1968. That recorded version, performed by The Beatles and showing the lyrics, is here.
The ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song widely accepted as being written to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses to distinguish sections. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes.
The song took on additional and varied meaning. Hey Jude was released at a time when racial tension was raging in the US. Earlier that year, American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr., was assassinated in Memphis, and there was much turmoil in American music among black and white musicians in the immediate aftermath of the tragic loss. There were efforts to bridge the gaps in the new genre of music at that time known as Southern Rock.
There is a BBC Documentary on the development of Southern Rock, called Sweet Home Alabama – The Southern Rock Saga. While watching this, I learned about the history and recording of another version of Hey Jude, performed by Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman in 1969, just months after its release. It is an example of musicians as activists, in a peaceful demonstration that music, as well as tragedy, are colorblind. Please give it a listen, because it is difficult to find a song that is so deeply moving:
In addition to Wilson Pickett singing with beauty and passion, and Duane on electric slide guitar, this song also has " "arguably the greatest soul horn section ever," the Memphis Horns. Wilson Pickett balked when Duane suggested they attempt this version of Hey Jude. Pickett finally agreed, and other musicians were stunned when they listened.
Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006), who sings this version of Hey Jude, grew up in Alabama singing in Baptist choirs. From Wiki:

Maybe you've said this too…it seemed like a good idea at the time…yeah…
You know what it feels like to go to one of those places where you can cut down your own Christmas Tree…and like the Griswalds you forgot the saw…
Well..tried to avoid that type of incident this year…but really wanted to get a real tree. But with 3 little kids didn't think I could get it on the car in the house on my own.
So, did what any self respecting minivan driving suburban mother would do…ordered it online…having it delivered.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
It's still not here. Every day…they ask…is today the day we get our tree? The ornaments are waiting…the lights are wadded up in tangled mess…just waiting…
I need like a GPS tracker for this tree…like that NORAD app that tracks Santa on his sleigh on Christmas Eve…
Maybe you have had the pleasure of teaching a 5 and 3 year old patience…they look at you like…you're speaking like the teacher in the Charlie Brown Christmas special…whah whah whah whah
It all feels so excessive…
Don't know about you, but I find myself longing for a simpler Christmas…
It just feels like there is such need…and my family has such excess. Heard my pastor say that if you have a car…you already have more than 90% of the world. Living in America it's hard to understand that fact.
Want to teach my kids that before they come up with their list of what they want…to make a list of what they can give.
Karen posted this think on my blog about what her family does every year to not give into the excess…I think you might like it too.
Each child gets 4 presents.
1. Something they want
2. Something they need
3. Something to wear
4. Something to read
LOVE THAT! So doing that this year. Everyone in the house needs socks…CHECK. One down three to go.

Mumbai, May 15 Anjum Farooqi, who plays the role of Gehna on Colors' "Balika Vadhu", said she feels great to be associated with such a show, as it celebrated its 1,000th episode Monday.
"I feel great to be associated with 'Balika Vadhu'. It is such a privilege to be associated with a cult show like this. I could never imagine that I would be part of such a show," she said.
The entire cast of "Balika Vadhu" with the exception of Surekha Sikri, who plays the role of Dadisa in the show, was present at the event where Laxmi Sargara, a victim of child marriage, was also felicitated.
Married when she was a year old, Sargara has now legally annulled her marriage.
Reminiscing about her days on the sets of "Balika Vadhu", Anjum told IANS about the fights which she and her co star, Shashank Vyas, have all the time.
"Shashank and I still fight on the sets many times. While pretending to fight during our scenes, we sometimes start fighting in reality as well. Our tempers are so high at that time, that we fight even if the other person makes a silly mistake," she said.
"Balika Vadhu" has been on air since the past four years. The star cast includes Pratusha Banerjee, Neha Marda, Vyas, Sikri, Smita Bansal and Anup Soni.
Anjum plays the role of Gehna, who is Jagdish's wife on the show. Her character was introduced much later into the show.
"I am really glad that the audience has accepted my character. I was very reluctant to take on this role. The audience knew and loved Anandi and Jagdish and this was a challenge for me," she said.

Customer Reviews for Denise Interchangeable Crochet Hook Kit:
August 9, 2014
Jeni B
I bought a set of these hooks a few months back for Tunisian Crochet, and found them to be excellent! I promptly bought a second set so I could work double-ended stitches. These hooks are just so versatile. You can make any combination you want with the connectors, cables and end buttons. They go together easily and the system is simple to operate. I cannot recommend them highly enough! The only issue I have is that the smallest hook flexes, which I find annoying, but that is just a personal preference. The hook still functions perfectly well. I recommend these hooks without reservation. The set is high quality and definitely value for money!

PNP apologises for missing green from flag replica
Posted: April 12, 2012The Governing People's National Party (PNP) has apologized for the treatment of the replica of an incomplete Jamaican flag, used as a backdrop, at the swearing-in ceremony, for Local Government representatives in Montego Bay, St. James.
Yesterday, the Opposition JLP blamed the governing PNP, for what it described as the vulgar politicizing of civic events, and national symbols, including the flag.
Chairman of the PNP Robert Pickersgill, issued a statement this afternoon (April 12), condemning the apparent misuse of the colours of the Jamaican flag.
The backdrop consisted of a black background over laid with the gold saltire, which has come to symbolize the Jamaica flag.
PNP Chairman Robert Pickersgill says the party has held the Jamaican flag in high esteem as a symbol of dignity achievement and the independent of the country.
Mr. Pickersgill has welcomed the decision by Mayor of Montego Bay Glendon Harris to probe the incident and to take action.
The PNP has also called on all Mayors and Councillors to ensure that all civic functions are organized in keeping with necessary protocols.
These include ridding these functions of any semblance of what Mr. Pickersgill describes as partisan behaviour.
The PNP has come in for flak from Opposition Leader Andrew Holness for what he has described as political cronyism and poor behavior meted out to Jamaica Labour Party supporters at recent civic ceremonies.
Meanwhile, the St. James Parish Council is to be refunded the money, spent on the controversial backdrop, used at the swearing-in ceremony, for the councillors.
The upper and lower triangles of green, were absent from a backdrop, containing the gold saltire, on a black background.
This set-off a firestorm of complaints and criticisms, from members of civic society, and the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party, over the perceived disrespect to the national symbols.
During today's (April 12) sitting of the St. James Parish Council, the first since the March 26 Local Government polls, Chairman Glendon Harris the contractor will be refunding the money spent to do the backdrop.
Harris, who is also Mayor of Montego Bay, told today's sitting of the Council that no representatives of the council had given any permission for the colour to be omitted.
The council Chairman said there was no deliberate ploy to omit the green from the backdrop, despite pronouncements of politicking by the Jamaica Labour Party, which uses green as its colour.
He notes that the $30,000 charged for the decor will be remitted back to the coffers of the Council.
In the meantime, the contractor, Denton Edwards, has stated that he will be issuing a statement by the end of the week to explain the foul up.

Recently I ordered a pattern from Blessed Designs (Angela Coffman Designs)-the maternity skirt pattern is fabulous!- in which I used this method so I thought I'd make a little tutorial and share it with you.
Before I get started though, I want to a list a few reasons why to keep the master pattern intact and only transfer the size that you need. Two reasons really.1) If you tear or destroy the master pattern, you have to buy a new one. If you transfer just the ones you need and they get messed up, you ca just go back and make another transfer. No need to buy a new pattern. 2) Let's say you have several kids that you are making the same outfit for (be it a dress, skirt, pajama pants, etc) but they are all different sizes, you'd have to buy several patterns in order to make what you needed for them. It takes a little more effort to transfer the various sizes you need BUT you'll spend less money and also...See Reason #1. Keep in mind, though, these transfer are to be used for PERSONAL USE ONLY and are not to be sold or use in a monetary fashion. You are using the transfers to get the most out of one pattern. Please respect the creators of the patterns as they would respect you.
First you'll need:
An Aisle Runner (can be found in the wedding section at a craft or super store)-I got mine on Sale!
A Pen or Marker
Fabric Scissors
Weights (like sewing weights or soup cans, change bags or rocks) to keep the pattern steady
A Master Pattern (all sizes included, don't cut individual sizes: see pictures below)
First, roll out your aisle runner onto your table or work surface (which should be clean!) and place a pattern piece underneath. Aisle runners are great because they are see through and it makes the pattern easier to trace (and easy to pin to fabric). It's easier to trace on at a time but try to keep the tracings as close together as possible (without overlapping) to minimize transfer waste.
I hoped you liked this tutorial of mine. Happy Sewing!
P.S. I want to say here that Angela Coffman's Maternity Skirt pattern is practically the only pattern I could find on the internet. And I love it!

The Ohio History Connection, in partnership with the Ohio Humanities Council and American Electric Power, sponsored development of Ohio & the Civil War: 150 Years Later, a special panel traveling exhibit produced for the 150th commemoration of the Civil War. The traveling exhibit explores Ohio's participation in the war and focuses especially on individuals' choices that impacted local communities and the course of the war. View
In this traveling exhibit, you do the traveling. The Civil War, which most thought would be over quickly, had bogged down into a long fight between the states. Heavy fighting was going on in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and in Vicksburg, Mississippi, when Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan brought the war to the Northern home front. Racing through Indiana, he crossed into southwestern Ohio on July 13, 1863, and brought more than 2,000 veteran raiders with him. Their mission in crossing the state was to occupy and divert as many Union troops as possible. Department of the Ohio commander Major General Ambrose Burnside sought to stop Morgan, but that would prove a much harder job than he expected. View

exclusive Training camp ain"t cheap — our sources has learned, it cost the Dallas Cowboys roughly $25,000 just to hire a police detail for the 3-week program.
Oxnard Police Department Commander Andrew Salinas tells our sources, the tab covers a wide range of services involving police and public safety — staffing 6-8 officers on site per day on weekdays … and 12 on the weekends.
Salinas says the training camp crowd ranges from 3,000-12,000 fans every day — reaching capacity on weekends … which is why they needed the additional officers on Saturdays and Sundays.
We"re told the charges also include the use of vehicles as well as a mobile command center (an awesome big RV with computers and radio systems and stuff) … a player favorite.
Training camp wrapped up Thursday — and we"re told the 80-man roster celebrated their last day with a relaxing trip to the beach at Mandalay Bay Beach Resort (accompanied by police).
When they arrived, we"re told the players were immediately met by an overeager group of fans hoping for autographs — so Tony Romo took one for the team … and offered to sign their stuff in exchange for a little privacy.
The fans obliged … and everyone lived happily ever after.

Innovative way to restore knee cartilage
Feeling brand new: Robbi Ward, of Joliet, had cartilage in both knees restored by a two-stage procedure that harvested cells from her own cartilage. | Supplied photo
Article Extras
Related Stories
Cartilage injury is the most common cause of knee pain in the United States today. In fact, more than two million Americans suffer cartilage problems each year, resulting in pain and swelling that make it difficult or nearly impossible to maintain an active lifestyle.
Robbi Ward of Joliet was one of them.
Diagnosed with arthritis at age 12, Ward, now 38, struggled with achy knees for more than two-thirds of her life. It didn't hold her back much when she was younger. As an energetic teen, she played softball and basketball.
But everyday wear and tear continued to take its toll.
"Other than at work, I didn't walk or exercise much," she recalls. "I have a high tolerance for pain, so for the most part, I did pretty well."
Or at least she did until 2012, when an injury to her left knee nearly stopped her in her tracks.
That's when she went to see Mukund Komanduri, M.D., board-certified orthopedic surgeon on staff at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. Dr. Komanduri ordered an MRI and detected a tear in the meniscus, a rubbery C-shaped disc that cushions the knee.
Dr. Komanduri recommended a minimally invasive knee arthroscopy to repair the meniscal tear in June of 2012. During that procedure, however, he discovered that Ward had almost no cartilage in her knee.
"Damaged articular cartilage (the tough elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones to form the smooth surface of joints) does not heal as rapidly or effectively as other tissues in the body," Dr. Komanduri said. "Instead, the damage tends to progress, allowing the bones to rub directly against each other, resulting in pain and reduced mobility."
Left untreated, the condition may cause severe osteoarthritis and eventually necessitate a partial or total knee replacement.
Implant own cartilage
Since Ward is considered too young for joint-replacement surgery, Dr. Komanduri suggested a highly advanced cartilage-restoration technique that offers patients as close to a complete recovery as possible.
Called "autologous chondrocyte implantation," or ACI, the revolutionary two-part technique allows doctors to harvest cells from a patient's own cartilage, grow them in a lab and then later implant them in the patient's injured knee.
Ward agreed and during a series of arthroscopic procedures over the next several months, Dr. Komanduri harvested cartilage cells from both of Ward's weakened knees.
About ACI
Articular cartilage is produced by chondrocytes, which are cells that divide or multiply very slowly. This is one of the reasons that articular cartilage injuries do not repair well and can lead to continued degeneration and deterioration.
"One of the most advanced techniques available for cartilage restoration is ACI," Dr. Komanduri explained. "The first stage is performed when the orthopedic surgeon harvests a small amount of healthy knee cartilage during an arthroscopy. The cells are harvested from a part of the knee that is subject to minimal loading or weight-bearing stresses."
The harvested cells are then biologically engineered in a specially equipped laboratory. Through cell growth and culturing techniques, the chondrocyte number is increased from a few hundred thousand to more than 10 million cells.
In a second surgical procedure, the cultured cartilage is sewn to the neighboring cartilage using a patch.
"Within a few months, the cells synthesize to re-establish a normal articular cartilage surface within the knee, restoring the knee to near normal function," he added.
Complete recovery can take up to a year, with several weeks spent on crutches immediately after surgery, followed by weeks of physical therapy.
"ACI is most useful for younger patients who have single (cartilage) defects larger than 2 centimeters in diameter," Dr. Komanduri said.
The average age range for a patient who may be a candidate for an ACI is 15 to 55 years. Patients older than 55 typically have thinner remaining cartilage and are generally felt not to benefit from this procedure.
Ward underwent an ACI procedure of her left knee in January. To ensure appropriate healing time, she waited several months before having the right knee done in May. Both were outpatient surgeries.
"I'm feeling much better," she adds. "I was too young for knee replacements, so this was the best option for me. I would definitely recommend ACI and Dr. Komanduri."
Following several more weeks of physical therapy, Ward, a new grandmother, looks forward to when she can take her grandbaby to the zoo and walk around for hours — something she couldn't have dreamed of doing before the ACI procedures.
"It'll be like having two brand-new knees," she concluded.
For more information about ACI and other orthopedic procedures available at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, call (877) 737-INFO (4636). To watch a video of the patient and physician discussing this procedure, visit www.provena.org/stjoes/ortho.

This project involves the installation of landscaping to unimproved City right-of-way or the enhancement/replenishment of landscaping along Mesa streets. The Transportation Department has identified over 3.5 million square feet of right-of-way that lacks landscaping or the existing landscaping is beyond its useful life. This project would provide for landscaping improvements to revitalize these areas. A specific project for consideration is First Avenue from Macdonald to Lesueur where there is considerable recent, current, and planned development. The First Avenue project would add landscaped medians, as well as enhanced landscaping and other street features along the side of the roadway.

KC Looks at Marvel Now! With Reviews of All-New X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, More
- Posted by Johanna on March 14, 2013 at 1:08 pm
- Category: KC
I pretty much put this post content in the headline. In his latest Westfield column, KC talks about what he likes and dislikes in several new Marvel Now! titles, including All-New X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, the Avengers books, the Fantastic Four titles, and more.
2 Responses to "KC Looks at Marvel Now! With Reviews of All-New X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, More"
- James Schee Says:
March 14, 2013 at 6:21 PMI've enjoyed All New X=Men a lot as well, though, as typical with most Bendis books, the pacing is a bit slow. I keep waiting for something big to happen with this title and everything seems so small so far.
Wolverine and the X-Men is my favorite of the titles though, with such a diverse cast and good blend of humor and action.
Uncanny X-Men has been really good as well, I do find the brooding a bit much at times. That probably because I haven't really seen where Scott did much wrong in his actions. Any hero always is doing what he thinks is right, and even Xaver's death could be looked at as self defense.
Oddly it is the closest in direction to what I think of when I think X-Men, with heroes defending their own against bigotry.
I am enjoying Superior Spider-Man, but do feel it is a limited life span direction. Which thankfull it understands as well, with already hints at why the status quo will change again.
I really can't get into any of the current Avengers titles. Hickman's stories as KC said only work in bulk, and while Avengers Arena has yet to kill off a character I know. I just find the storytelling approach focusing on death unappealing much in the same way the Final Destination movies lack appeal.
I can appreciate that after such a ground breaking run as Brubaker had on Captain America. That the next team wanted to do something entirely different. Yet this just seems too different, it doesn't even read like a Captain America story to me. (though if you squinted it'd look just like Kirby's Kamandi)

Johnson's colleague Michael Marquez also tumbled in the orals, falling to 116th after having ranked 26th on the written test. As surprised as Marquez was by his plummet, he was more perplexed about the comments from the people who evaluated the oral. His scores showed that he had done poorly in the sections dealing with communications skills and problem recognition.
As it happens, Marquez, a nineteen-year veteran of the force, is Miami's senior hostage negotiator -- in other words, during a crisis situation he's likely to be the lone link between the suspect and the chief of police.
After the final results for the sergeant's exam were posted in April 1995, Marquez, Johnson, and nineteen other aspiring sergeants filed a lawsuit asserting that the grading of the oral test was fundamentally flawed and seeking promotion, back pay, and retroactive seniority. All of the plaintiffs had scored higher than 64 on the written test -- the lowest overall grade received by any officer who was promoted.
"How can someone fall from number 2 to number 115?" Marquez asks. "It makes sense for there to be some changes from written test and overall score, but a drop like this doesn't make sense."
With the filing of the court action, the officers' names were added to another list -- a litany of lawsuits involving the Miami Police Department's promotions testing. Over the past two decades, practically every time the city has conducted a promotions exam, it has been sued. At least seven lawsuits pertaining to promotions of sergeants, lieutenants, and captains are pending in state and federal courts. The lawsuits, police union attorneys argue, have unnecessarily cost the city millions of dollars. In a 1986 suit over a lieutenant's exam, for example, attorneys discovered several flaws in the oral test. After pointing out the problems, the attorneys asked that the oral portion be readministered, a move that would have cost the city about $18,000. City officials declined the request and let the lawsuit go forward. "We ended up settling it, with everybody getting a substantial pay raise and pension enhancements that probably cost the city $2.6 million," recalls Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) attorney Robert Klausner, who handled the case.
Miami has struggled with police promotions since 1977, when a federal judge ordered that the police force more accurately mirror the diverse population of the municipality itself. Prior to the order, no Hispanics or blacks on the force held a rank above officer, and only one woman did. Though the department's racial makeup has since shifted substantially, affirmative action targets remain in place.
Most of the lawsuits center on inconsistent implementation of the promotions lists. The concept of the lists is simple: Promotions are bestowed as positions open up, with the person who scored highest on the test promoted first, followed by the second-highest scorer, then the third-highest, and so on. Troubles start when a Hispanic officer, say, is passed over in favor of a black officer even though the Hispanic scored better on the exam. In a typical case, three sergeants sued the city after fellow sergeants who had scored lower on a lieutenant's exam were promoted ahead of them. They seek back pay and lost seniority and pension benefits from the day they allegedly should have been promoted. The case is pending.
By comparison, Dade County has fielded much less flak. County officials have administered more than 300 employment tests since fiscal year 1990-91, and they have not faced a single lawsuit regarding police promotions during that time. In fact, Assistant County Attorney Lee Kraftchick can only recall one such lawsuit since he began working for the county in 1982. The case, he says, involved black officers who wanted to rise to the rank of lieutenant and who disputed the scoring of the oral portion of their exams. The matter went to court, where the county won.
"I don't think we've had a challenge to a case since then," says Kraftchick, who notes that the county employs an industrial psychologist to ensure that the tests meet legal standards.
The same cannot be said for the test Marquez, Johnson, and their colleagues took in Miami. Their beef is with the orals, and in particular with the method used to grade them. For the test, each candidate sat in a classroom at Miami High School and responded to hypothetical scenarios as a videocamera recorded their answers. Morris & McDaniel, an Arlington, Virginia-based consulting firm that wrote and administered the test from material selected by City of Miami officials, then sent the videos to New Orleans to be graded by police officers there. As they viewed the tapes, the Louisiana evaluators were to check off responses on a benchmark, or answer key. For example, if in the hypothetical situation the officer was supposed to fire his gun but failed to say he would do so, the evaluator was to check a box indicating that the answer was incorrect.

Chinese martial arts are one of the most comprehensive and effective in the world
The Ten Core values or moralities cultivated by the members of the Taiping Institute are derived from the teachings of Confucius and include Humility, Respect, Righteousness, Trust, Loyalty, Will, Endurance, Perseverance, Patience, and Courage.
The Taiping Institute given its foundation on the teachings of many teachers, the open approach for students to develop and harness their skills with teachers everywhere and the inclusion of multiple styles/systems within its programs upholds the spirit of Wulin Yijia.
The practice of martial arts contains a rich in depth understanding of scholarly aspects in as much as the physical. To master martial arts one should strive to achieve across all fields of excellence that includes how maim or to heal, the techniques and their theories.

Devices connected to cellular networks pose risk, being hacked
Driving and texting do not go well together, although in a way different from what one can think. Computer hackers can unlock some car doors and start their engines without key by sending specially designed messages to car's anti-theft system. They can also spy where you have been tapping GPS system. This is done since car alarms, GPS system and some other devices are connected to cellular networks and receive commands by text messaging. This allows to change the settings remotely and gives hackers a way in.
Android Updated With Google Docs Version 1.0.16
Google has updated the Google docs feature in Android. The new version is Google docs v1.0.16 and it houses a number of new features, the major of them being web clipboard. With this app, it has become very easy to add images to Google docs. With this app, users can click pictures with their camera enabled smart phone and directly put the image in Google docs. The other important addition that has been made in the new version is inclusion of more languages. The languages in Google docs app have been upgraded to forty six.
Chromium Browser to Be Made Compatible to Android
Google plans to launch Chromium browser on Android platform. Although android is the product of Google, many have wondered about the absence of the obvious Chromium browser on the platform. Critic and Google supporters alike have wondered on the necessity of developing a separate Chrome OS when Android has already become immensely popular. The current browser present in Android is an open source browser like chrome. It is based on WebKit. However, the difference between the two is that while Chrome and Chromium are both open course browser, the android browser is a closed source one. Google now plans differently.
Are your top executives depressing your supply chain?
Organizing operational assets and making long-term assurances regarding production and supply related risks is not just enough to create a global supply chain that can successfully survive in this world of growing complications and uncertainties. In addition to this there are considerable organizational challenges as well which is because of the influence of sales team, marketers and product developers on decision and activities of any company's supply chain group and vice versa.
Can Google successfully emulate Apple?
Much has already been written about the deal between Google and Motorola. A lot has been said about how the deal adds about 60% to the headcount for Google. Also, a lot has been written about what the deal means for the partners of the Android platform such as HTC and Samsung. Also in news has been the access which Google has gained to Motorola's vast annals of patents. The argument that is of great interest is in context with Apple and the idea is that Google wants to use the deal to become an integrated supplier, i.e. a supplier of both software and hardware, just like Apple. It is definitely a fact that the ways of Apple are the best way to follow. Even if we keep ideological arguments aside the balance sheets would definitely agree.

Another boat owner is a victim of a three-week crime spree in Sherrills Ford. Todd Christopher Goodykoontz, 40, of Sherrills Ford, reported Nov. 8 that an unknown suspect stole 25 gallons of gasoline from his boat. The vehicle was docked in a community area in the 2300 block of North View Harbor in Sherrills Ford. According to the Catawba County Sheriff's Office incident report, the victim discovered the larceny Oct. 15.
2:30 a.m. Oct. 9 Elisa Baker, Zahra's stepmother, claims she saw Zahra sleeping in her bed.
5:30 a.m. Oct. 9 A brush fire is reported in the backyard of the Zahra's residence, located at 21 21st Ave. NW in Hickory.
A Hickory Police officer notices the smell of gasoline coming from a Chevrolet Tahoe parked on the property and finds a hand-written ransom note demanding $1 million in unmarked bills.
2 p.m. Oct. 9 Zahra is reported missing, and police issue an Amber Alert.
12:45 p.m. Oct. 10
It was the outcome no one wanted but everyone expected. Police recovered enough physical evidence to believe they located the remains of Zahra Baker, the 10-year-old girl reported missing more than a month ago. Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins announced Friday during a brief press conference that a bone located last week on Christie Road in Caldwell County matches a DNA sample taken from inside Zahra Baker's home.
The holiday punch bowl was always a source of struggle for Owen "Buddy" Shoup. Shoup struggled with alcoholism and addiction, and his family's punch bowl tempted him to start drinking again. To help encourage Shoup's sobriety, his mother made a nonalcoholic beverage for Shoup and placed the beverage in a smaller bowl beside the family punch bowl. Shoup battled his alcoholism step by step and day by day. "That little dish eventually became the whole punch bowl," he said.
Brenda Fay Hawkins Clark, 70, of Maiden, passed away Friday, Nov. 12, 2010, at Hospice of Catawba Valley in Newton. Burke Mortuary in Maiden is serving the Clark family.
Police have enough evidence to confirm Zahra Baker's death. During a press conference Friday, Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins said, "with great regret," investigators recovered enough evidence to constitute the recovery of Zahra, a 10-year-old girl who was reported missing Oct. 9. DNA evidence from a bone found days ago on Christie Road matched a DNA sample taken from Zahra's belongings at her home in Hickory. Check the Saturday edition of The O-N-E for more details on this breaking news story.
Home-field advantage is a luxury, and there is no place like home for Newton-Conover. Heading into this week's playoff game, the Red Devils have won six straight home playoff games and their last 24 games at Gurley Stadium.
"Home-field advantage helps you out — even in the regular season," Red Devils head coach Nick Bazzle said. "Hopefully, we can get some of the fans in the area who don't want drive a long way to come to our game, sit on our side and help us out even more."
Newton native Pauletta Pearson Washington and her husband, Denzel Washington, were honored in New York City for their acting careers and community outreach. The Princess Grace Foundation-USA held the 28th annual Princess Grace Awards Gala on Nov. 10 in New York City. The awards ceremony included the presentation of 21 awards to emerging artists in theater, dance and film, as well as the Prince Rainier III Award to be presented to Denzel and Pauletta Washington.
Brian Barnett's first week on the job included a lot of meetings and a lot of learning, but he's ready to hit the ground running. Barnett started Nov. 1 as Catawba's town manager, and he is the third person in six months to hold the position. The town's previous manager, Jonathan Kanipe, left his position July 1 to take a job as Columbus town manager. Eric Davis was then hired as an interim town manager while council members searched for a replacement for Kanipe.
The death Nov. 6 of historian and author Anne Williams McAllister, of Hickory, ended a career of chronicling the rich history of her local ancestors and the diverse roles they played in the 18th and 19th centuries in forming present-day Catawba County.

Family Fish Camp to be Held at Tombigbee State Park
JACKSON - The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) and the Mississippi Wildlife Federation (MWF) will host a Family Fish Camp at Tombigbee State Park near Tupelo on August 1-2. Times for the camp are 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. The camp is open to youth ages 10-15; its purpose is to introduce Mississippi's families to fisheries conservation, management, and sport fishing. To make this a family outing, at least one parent (or legal guardian 21 years age or older) is required to attend the camp with the youth.
"The camp is much more than children going fishing," said MDWFP Fisheries Bureau Assistant Director, Larry Bull. "Classroom discussions and hands-on exercises led by MDWFP fisheries biologists and MWF volunteers will help students gain a better understanding of fish, fishing, and fisheries management."
Camp applications can be obtained at www.mdwfp.com or by calling (601) 432-2200. Deadline for applications is July 21, 2014. Participants who are selected for the camp will be notified by July 25. For more information about MDWFP Family Fish Camp, contact Larry Bull at (601) 432-2200 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Have A Fall Campout You'll Remember
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
To me, the most comfortable time of year is absolutely Autumn. It's that time when the air goes through so many changes and does so much for us. It dances with leaves, contributes to beautiful sunsets and begins cooling things off for us in the States. All these memorable things are what makes fall an excellent time to camp.
Here's some quick tips for camping in the cool, beautiful weather:
- Firstly, pack layered clothing. Fall can be fickle, so starting off with a t-shirt and add from there is a great way to remain comfortable while camping. Don't forget sweaters and light jackets or coats.
- Be prepared for any type of terrain. Fall can be dry but is known also for a random shower. Pack both tennis shoes and boots so that your hiking experience is safe.
- Take several thin blankets with you. You would be surprised at how warm most Autumn nights can be in a tent. This way you can lay on top of your sleeping bag if it's too hot and get inside it if it gets cold.

Ask the Experts: Budget-Friendly Tips
by Dana Angelo White in Ask the Experts, October 26, 2011We're always reminding you that a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to break the bank. How about some expert tips to back that up? We polled nutrition experts across the country for their best tips for eating smart and exercising on a budget.
Brown Bag It
Our September Brown Bag Challenge was a huge success. If you missed it, it's never too late to start bringing your lunch to work or school. Annette Schottenfeld, MBA, RD, CDN, President of Nett Nutrition, Inc. says:
"Packing your own lunch not only saves money, but also guarantees much needed nutrition to get you through the day. Select lean meats and veggies on whole grain bread with a side of seasonal fruit for a delicious and satisfying lunch. Additional savings can also be had by making your own single-serve snack bags."
Packing up single servings goes for dinner leftovers too. Karen Ansel, MS, RD, CDN tells us:
"Wrap leftovers into single-serve portions immediately after dinner. Not only will you save money because you're not throwing out perfectly good food, you'll have a single serve, healthy homemade meal in the freezer waiting for you next time you have no time to cook."
Shop Smart
How you grocery shop can make or break your budget. Start by making a shopping list and sticking to it. Jessica Fishman Levinson, MS, RD, CDN, founder of Nutritioulicious reminds us not to forget good old coupons:
"Don't be shy to use coupons when shopping. But be careful – just because you get a coupon for something doesn't mean it's a healthy item. Many people are enticed by coupons for less healthy foods that they wouldn't normally buy."
Food and nutrition writer Sharon Palmer, RD also warns shoppers to steer clear of processed junk:
"The more simple and unprocessed a food, the less expensive—and more healthful—it is, typically. That's because it requires less food production to get from farm to fork. Less production steps mean less money and resources went into that food, which means a lower price at the check-out."
Want to get the healthy nutrients like omega-3 and vitamin D from fish but think it will bust your weekly budget? Kate Geagan, MS, RD author of Go Green Get Lean, shows us it's possible:
"Some of the very best options we have are in the INNER AISLES of the grocery store: Canned sardines, anchovies, pink salmon, mussels, clams and oysters are relatively cheap and are available nearly everywhere and to everyone at all economic levels. Make a salmon burger or a salmon melt from canned salmon or mash 2 sardines into your favorite tomato sauce recipe to add a hefty dose of flavor and nutrition to your next pasta night. Frozen fish filets are usually significantly cheaper than fresh, and when they go on sale you can load up your freezer: No waste, no spoilage"
Steer Clear of Supplements
We've been warning you about the potential dangers of taking popular supplements and they also cost a pretty penny. Lisa Dixon, MBA, RD says put food first:
"Focus on getting your nutrition from food, not supplements. Place more emphasis on food, rather than nutrients. By choosing whole foods naturally high in nutrients you should be able to get your daily needs from food alone. Supplements can be expensive (and sorry to say, a waste of money)."
Spice Things Up
The right seasoning can make all the difference for a light but flavorful meal. Kait Fortunato uses spices to liven up her meals on the cheap:
"You can buy cheaper cuts of meat and spice it correctly to create unique flavor. Spices last a long time and are healthier than dressings or marinades."
Where's the Beef?
Beth Stark RD, LDN uses this tip to cut down on money and bulk up portions:
"I replace some of the meat in my favorite recipes with drained and rinsed canned beans in order to stretch portions, reduce cost and boost the nutrient quality of the dish. I add black or pinto beans to enchiladas and taco meat, cannellini beans to lean ground turkey for pasta and meat sauce and extra kidney beans to chili."
You can also save by ditching meat all together once a week – opt for Meatless Mondays.
Move It
Let's not forget about exercise. There are plenty of ways to burn calories without burning cash.
Sheila Campbell PhD, RD points out the importance of having someone else hold you accountable:
"Get an exercise buddy. You are accountable to your buddy to show up when and where you promised and to exercise for the time you agreed on."
The gym isn't the only option. Kathleen A. Siegel, RD, CDN Co-founder, NutritionBabes, LLC says:
"Exercise classes at a gym can empty your pockets quickly. A budget-friendly solution is to borrow exercise DVD's from your local library. Other options are starting a DVD swap with friends and rotating with each other for a greater selection. You can also check out your cable guide for classes to take at home on your own TV. No gym or studio needed!"
How about forgetting about indoor exercise and getting outside? Maria C. Mahar MA RD CD suggests:
"Visit your local park or playground; admission is free! Not only will you and your family be able to participate in calorie-shedding activities such as walking, hiking and cross country skiing, but parks are also a wonderful opportunity to meet up with friends, make new ones and bond with your family. Being active outdoors lifts your mood, helps you think more positively and feel more internal calm thus reducing your stress level."
Get Baking
Pound for pound, store-bought baked goods can be some of the priciest items in your kitchen. Sherri Nordstrom Stastny, PhD, RD, CSSD, LD says:
"Dig out your bread machine. Making bread from scratch is a huge cost saving (and tastes better) than store-bought bread."
Don't have a bread machine? You can get a decent one for less than $75 and you can recoup that money after a couple of months of buying less commercially-prepared breads. You can also save moo-lah buy storing bread in the freezer — when lightly toasted you'd never know the difference, but you will notice that you're wasting less bread.
Tell Us: What's your best budget-friendly tip?

Pretty! This has been an incredibly wonderful post. Many thanks for providing this info.
So true! These tips are great and very useful to others. I have a blog about healthy meal planning that uses the meat, produce, and other sale items along with coupons to help others avoid the excuses of higher costs and time consuming. I'm also excited about farmers markets and produce stands popping up with the warmer weather. Very often their produce can be cheaper than the grocery store depending on where you shop.
naturally like your web site however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth nevertheless I will certainly come back again.
I don't know where some of these people live, but here in Santa Fe the prices at the local farmer's market are a joke. I can't begin to afford them. I have to watch for sales at the local Sunflower market to afford my fruits and vegetables!
It does cost more to eat heALTHY IN THIS TOWN UNLESS YOU ONLY SHOP SALES.
Yeah the same problem with me about the prices. We just can not afford the prices they are offering and therefor we have to wait for the sales in super markets like sunflower market. Thanks

Video transcript: Nottingham plays key role in sequencing the tomato genome
You may wish to play the video in another window to watch it side by side with the transcript below. Alternatively, you can watch the video on our YouTube channel with captions.
May 2012
Video shows a still stating the genome of the tomato has been discovered
Professor Graham Seymour, The University of Nottingham
Its going to be a complete game changer for horticultural crops, amazingly important.
Video shows a still stating 300 scientists from 14 countries were involved in the research
Dr Gerard Bishop, Imperial College London
Its a huge step forward, its a blue print for the rest of how we are going to carry out science in the future.
Video shows a still stating Professor Seymour and Dr Bishop led the UK research
Professor Graham Seymour, The University of Nottingham
I am sure that most people are familiar with this type of tomato which you see in bins in supermarkets and this one has travelled very well, it is resistant to spoilage but it doesn't actually often taste very nice, it just lasts a long time and what we really want is we want tomatoes which are like this which are very very red, very very tasty but normal tomato fruit and of course many other fruit are very very perishable products. So what we have actually done is to sequence the genetic code of tomato.
Video shows the two scientists discussing the research, then pans around a branch of plum-like tomatoes. (Shots of the greenhouse and the tomatoes throughout the video.) Then the video shows them working in the greenhouse.
The reason why that is important because tomatoes are one of the most important fruit crops in the world in fact the tomato crop world wide both sort of fresh and process material is worth about is estimated £30 - 40 billion dollars a year and tomatoes provide a huge number of important vitamins, minerals and other sorts of plant chemicals that promote health in the human diet that is basically because we eat a lot of tomatoes not just the fresh ones, but we eat tomato sauce, tomatoes on pizzas topping and so on and so forth so human beings eat a lot of tomato products and so knowing the genetic code is a way we can have a rational approach to breeding better quality tomatoes and also tomatoes that may be can resist drought more effectively if they are grown out in the field or have a better fruit quality because after all that is part of the crop that we eat and maybe have fruit that perhaps will last longer but taste a lot better and actually contain more of the important bio actives which we know protect people against cancer and heart disease. There is a whole international community that came together to sequence the tomato genome.
Dr Gerard Bishop, Imperial College London
One of the great benefits of having the genome sequence is that we can start to pull in genes from wild species of tomato that are more well adapted to live in dry dessert conditions and tomato originally comes from Peru and some of the worlds species that are available in some of the desserts in Peru we can then start to breed in those traits more quickly and more exactly and by looking at the gene sequences that are present in the crosses that we make.
Professor Graham Seymour, The University of Nottingham
Because we can now read the tomato book as it were we can see where all the genes are,...
Video shows a detailed DNA chart of a tomato
...which chromosomes they are on and the gene order as well. We can now begin to associate particular genes with characteristics such as fruit firmness, or taste so on and so forth so we can actually identify the genes that are responsible...
Video shows a graphical representation of the genetic code
...and then you can then go to wild tomato species and find variants of those genes that may slow softening down or enhance certain flavour characteristics and you can use conventional breeding to breed those effects into the cultivated background but because you know the gene involved you can use markers for that gene to speed up and make more precise the breeding process.
It will hugely reduce waste where fruit is just thrown away because they go off before they are eaten and there is another twist to this actually because tomatoes have long been used as the model for understanding fruit ripening and it turns out that the genes that control tomato fruit ripening similar genes are actually present in other types of fruits so what you might be surprised to know is that genes can control ripening in tomato fruit very similar genes actually control the ripening of other very different fruits such as strawberries and bananas so in the future it should be possible to manipulate ripening in strawberries and bananas as well.
Video shows a variety of fruit in a basket
This is an important crop and we want to make sure that more people are eating tomatoes because of the health benefits and other fruit.
The UK contribution to the tomato genome sequencing project was carried out in collaboration with The Genome Analysis Centre and the James Hutton Institute.
The UK research was funded by BBSRC, Defra and the Scottish Government.
The sequencing was undertaken by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

So Like many of the posters on here I agree that we have a problem when it comes to offense, In my opinion the blame is not solely one group, but the group as a whole. The play calling is the worst though, all teams are playing a prevent defense because they know that the Pats want to air it out, and as other posters have pointed out, we never won a superbowl that way, I mean New Orleans who is a pass happy offense has 32 less PA than us, I mean what the heck.
We need to go back to the roots that we had, a clock grinding offense with power packages. The TE that they traded the giants for wasn't even active yesterday. I say we go out and sign Lorenzo Neal if he is still interested in playing, and the Pats feel he can still play. If he can't find a true fullback somewhere and set our selves up in a good old school pats offense. I also would like to see some changes on the O-line particualarly in the LT, give Vollmer a shot or two I would like to at least see him out there. If we want to run the ball and Neal is healthy he is by far the best run blocker, so i dont want to hear any calls for his head.
What do you all think?

I would like to see one of the RB's get 15-25 carries to see if they and the OL can get a rythm going. At this point, I dont care who the RB is between Maroney, Tayler or Morris....while Maroney gets most of the criticism in these posts, they all get met at the point of attack equally, leaving them no room to move.
Now I see why BB drafted OL this year...seems some of the current starters may be at the end of their effectiveness (Light/Kaczur)...I also thought that Koppen had a tough day yesterday, but like the Bills DE last week, Koppen had a tough matchup yesterday
