LaMar Noble Barrus, 85, of Firth passed away Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012 in Firth.
He was born Dec. 10, 1926 to Noble Hunter Barrus and Hazel Delilah Larson in his parents' home in Rose.
LaMar attended grade school through the eighth grade. He had lived in Pingree, Burley, Basalt, Roberts and has lived in Wapello for the last 21 years. He also spent a lot of time at his cabin in Island Park. He also lived in Warden, Mont.
On June 11, 1952, he married Marilyn Fackrell in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. She preceded him in death on Nov. 15, 2011.
THOMAS — Brent K. Young received his Snake River High School (SRHS) diploma Wednesday evening, only 43 years after he finished high school.
Last month, the Snake River school board members voted to award Young his diploma.
After joining the U.S. Navy in 1968, Young was told he could graduate with his class. The Vietnam conflict changed that when he was called into active duty in October of that year.
"I'm truly excited to do this for you," said SRHS principal Dean Bonney. "My oldest brother graduated in 1969; he is nine years older than I. Things seemed very different then.
BLACKFOOT — With just over four seconds remaining, Blackfoot's Keith Moore got a dream look at the basket from the right baseline where the senior let fly with a three ball that was on line but unfortunately, the ball went just long as it caromed off of the back iron and into the hands of the Madison rebounder.
The three, would have tied the game at 55-55 but instead, the Broncos had to foul the Madison player where he knocked down both free throws and despite a basket at the buzzer by Colby Pearson, the Broncos fell to the fourth ranked team in the state by the final tally of 57-54.
BLACKFOOT — Each year the Prospectors' Club, a community support organization made up of former Chamber presidents and other Blackfoot business leaders, honors one individual.
"It's for those who've gone beyond the norm for the community," said president Leonard Martin, the publisher of the Morning News.
This year's recipient of the Best Foot Forward Award, presented at the Greater Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, is Susan Nalley.
BLACKFOOT — Bingham County was in a unique situation last year when the Snake River flooded as county crews worked to clear snow from roads, Bingham County Commissioner Whitney Manwaring said during his State of the County address at the Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce President's Luncheon Wednesday.
The costs associated with the flooding reduced the ability of the county to chip seal roads, which is something the county hopes to work on this year, Manwaring said.
One major project in the works is improvements to Ferry Butte Road from Highway 39 to Tilden Road.
City in good shape financially
BLACKFOOT — In addressing business and community leaders at the Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce President's Luncheon Wednesday, Mayor Mike Virtue said he believes the city is in a good position for economic recovery.
Through frugal budgets and smart decisions, Virtue said the city is in excellent financial shape and that 2012 should be another good year.
"I think we're in a positive position for when the economic recovery happens," Virtue said.
LaMar N. Barrus, 85, of Firth passed away Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012 in Firth.
Funeral arrangements are pending under the direction of Hawker Funeral Home.
HAMILTON, Mont. — Anina S. Johner, 80, died on Sunday Dec. 18, 2011 at home after a short battle with leukemia under the care of her daughter Sherry Vetter, grand-daughter Brandy and Aspen Hospice of Stevensville, Mont.Â
She is survived by children: Sherry Vetter, Bruce, Paul, and Doug Johner and Tracy Wooldridge, 11 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, one great-great grandchild; and one sister Claudia Bailey; and numerous extended family members.
She was preceded in death by husband Jerome (Jerry), son Mark, her parents and two sisters.
Mary Alice Smith, 97, of Blackfoot passed away Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012 at the Renaissance Assisted Living Center in Blackfoot.
She was born Aug. 28, 1914 in Blackfoot, the daughter of Joseph V. McKercher and Goldie F. Beasley.
She graduated from Blackfoot High School.
She married Conard Thorpe and they were later divorced. She later married Lee Byington in June of 1943 in Blackfoot. He preceded her in death.

- Philadelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home
NFL Pick – Week 8
The Atlanta Falcons are the only undefeated team in the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles may have more pressure on them right now than any other team in the NFL. The Eagles have been good coming off a bye week under Andy Reid, and they'll need to be very good in this one. Who has the edge in what may be the biggest game of the weekend?
Game Overview:
Atlanta is 3-0 at home and 3-0 on the road so far this year. The Falcons have won four of their six games by a touchdown or less. Atlanta has been finding ways to win each game, and that is the sign of a good football team. Matt Ryan is completing 68 percent of his passes this year, which is easily the best mark of his career. Few teams can boast of receiving threats like Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Tony Gonzalez. Ryan does a nice job spreading the ball around. Michael Turner leads the team in rushing, and the rushing attack has been slightly better than last year. Atlanta is averaging 28.5 points per game.
The Falcons defense has stepped up in a big way so far this season. Atlanta confused Peyton Manning early in the season, and their always-changing defense has been tough for opponents to get a read on this year. The Falcons are only 22nd in the NFL in total defense, but they have been forcing turnovers and holding opponents to field goal attempts rather than touchdowns. Opponents are scoring just 18.8 points per game so far this year.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been able to move the football this year, but they aren't putting up many points. What has been the problem? The Eagles can't hold onto the football long enough to get it into the end zone. Turnovers have been a massive problem for this year. Michael Vick is the main culprit at the quarterback position. Vick has thrown eight interceptions in six games, and he is averaging 2.2 turnovers per game by himself when you factor in all of his fumbles. Vick has to take better care of the ball or this team can't win games. LeSean McCoy's numbers are down from last year, but he is still a very solid running back. The Eagles are seventh in the NFL in total offense, but 30th in points per game.
Philadelphia's defense has actually been pretty good this year. The Eagles defense has helped the team pick up three wins despite all their offensive turnover problems. DeMeco Ryans was a nice pickup in the offseason for this team at the linebacker spot. There isn't a real glaring weakness on this unit, and their pass rush takes some pressure off the secondary. Philadelphia is giving up 20.8 points per contest this season.
Free NFL Pick:
This is an extremely important game for the Eagles, and I think they'll play their best game of the year. Look for Philadelphia to come out with a hard-fought win here.

Leg-Step Extension
You'll need a step bench. This targets your glutes, hips, hamstrings, chest, arms, and core. Do 10 reps on each leg.
-Leg Step Extension: Get on all fours with a step behind you, keeping your arms straight with your hands directly underneath your shoulders. Press your toes into the step. Tuck your left knee in towards your chest and then extend it behind you. You'll do 10 reps of this tuck-and-extend motion before switching legs. Squeeze your gluts as you extend your leg behind you. After you've done 10 reps, switch sides so your left leg stays on the step and your right leg is tucking and extending. Leg step extensions target your gluts, hips, hamstrings, chest, arms, and core. If you want to make this exercise easier, keep your back leg on the ground instead of elevated on the step, and do only 6 reps on each leg.

Midway through his second year at Austin College, Ron Kirk suffered the painful identity crisis of a young black man making his way in a white world. On the mostly white campus in Sherman in 1974, Kirk felt adrift from the African American friends of his youth and the familiarity of his East Austin neighborhood. He left school, went home, and announced to his father that he needed time off from college to find himself. Lee Kirk's response was unsympathetic: "You can find a damn job!"
But in later conversations the father talked to his son about the hard lessons of race. As Kirk remembers it, "My dad said, 'It's a real tragedy—all you have to do for a white person to know you are black is just open the door and let the sun hit your face.'" But, he warned his son, there would always be some black people who would question his "degree of blackness" if he won success in the white world. During the next few months, while Kirk worked at the state capitol, he came to understand his father's message: Don't let race alone define who you are. "I finally realized you are a product of everybody who has been in your life, and that person is fine," he says now. "I got this sense that I didn't need to meet everyone else's expectations of blackness. It liberated me. I was who I was."
Being who he is has taken Kirk a long way—first, to two terms as mayor of Dallas and now, at age 48, to the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Phil Gramm. His battle against Republican attorney general John Cornyn looms as one of the nation's closest and most important races. Not only is control of the Senate at stake but also the political prestige of George W. Bush, for whom the loss of a seat in his home state would be devastating. Early polls show Kirk running anywhere from a little behind Cornyn to a little ahead. And yet, as the campaign heats up, Kirk faces a familiar problem. The very thing he prides himself on—that he's not the kind of person who can easily be stereotyped or pigeonholed—runs counter to the conventional wisdom of how to win an election: A candidate must define himself or run the risk of having others do so.
The latter is exactly what is happening. That door his father spoke about has swung open once again to illuminate the color of his skin. While Kirk is running a race of politics, friend and foe alike seem to want to talk about the politics of race. To the media, he is the first African American to seek a major statewide office in Texas. To his own party, he is—along with gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez—part of a Dream Team that will energize the party's dormant core constituency of ethnic minorities. To Republicans, he is part of a cynical Democratic effort to assemble a ticket based on race instead of leadership and qualifications: "Is it a 'dream' because their candidates are proven leaders? No," said Gramm at the Republican state convention in Dallas earlier this summer. "The Democrats believe they can divide Texas based on race." Democrats fired back a week later from their convention in El Paso: "Republicans have launched a very cynical attack of division that essentially says to Texans that a qualified African American is not fit to run for the Senate," said Molly Beth Malcolm, the state party chair.
More than a quarter century after wrestling with his racial identity as a college student, Ron Kirk again finds himself struggling to explain who he is. This much we know: He is a member of the last generation of blacks to live under Jim Crow laws and the first to enjoy post-segregation opportunities. His career is a mirror of his time: His boyhood ambition was to be a civil rights crusader, but over the years he has gravitated toward politics—first as a staff member, then as an appointed official, then as an elected official whose policies were closely aligned with the wish list of the rich and the powerful. He has a sunny personality and a quip-cracking style. But as for what he believes and how he would vote on the great issues of the day—including all the civil rights issues, from affirmative action and reparations to redlining—he has had little to say. Sometime in the next few weeks, Ron Kirk is going to have to decide: Is his best chance to win the Senate race by running as a black politician or as a politician who, among other things, is black?
KIRK ARRIVES AT THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION HALL in El Paso in mid-June amid an atmosphere of great expectations. To overcome Cornyn's advantages of a nearly $15 million campaign war chest and the president's strong support, he will have to generate excitement as well as campaign contributions; he will have to become what political pros call a rock star, someone who can incite an audience with the electrifying aura of celebrity. So far, so good. The crowds in El Paso jam in around him so closely that he can hardly move. Even in the huge arena he is easy to spot: His solid six-two frame, topped with a gleaming brown dome, bobs and weaves in a mass of well-wishers. Dressed in a black pinstripe suit, his signature round wire-rimmed glasses framing a relentlessly cheerful face, Kirk shows off his cuff links, a pair of silver dancing stick figures, one adorning each crisp white sleeve. "That's Mr. Happy Man," Kirk explains. "Just like me."
Right now, Mr. Happy Man is late for a speech, despite the best efforts of a cadre of youthful campaign aides trying in vain to push him through the crush. Every few steps, a shriek of recognition goes up, and Kirk is battered back by the next wave of admirers. He recognizes many of them, or knows how to make them

They lack detail and quality. They are also very simple. They don't even feel very Christmassy to me. They are just balls with a shape pasted on top.
Remember one of the purposes of this marketplace is to provide ready-made objects other designers can use. What you present here is something many designers can do in a few minutes.
They would need a lot more work. Look at the balls here:http://graphicriver.net/item/red-and-golden-christmas-background/621627

VISAKHAPATNAM: Darul Uloom Ishaqiya Nooriya Madarsa will host the Hazrat Ishaq Madani Conference and Jashn-E-Dastur Bandi (convocation of its students) on Saturday.
The event will be held at Darul Uloom Ishaqia Nooriya's premises, said the Madarsa Convenor Haji Moosa at the media conference on Thursday. He asked all the Muslims to participate in the conference and make it a big success. The programme was organised by the Madarsa Principal Abdur Rahman Khan.
One of the Madarsa Directors Mohammed Haroon said that it was the first time that the conference of such a big scale was being organised in the city with dignitaries coming from all over the country. He applauded Haji Mohammed Kwaja Ali Rizvi for starting the institute in 1979 and running it successfully though he was alone in this endeavour.
Mr. Rahman Khan said, "The Madarsa has been growing by leaps and bounds and all its members are trying to work towards strengthening it. The occasion will be an opportunity to exhibit the high standard of the institute. Rajya Sabha MP Obdaidulla Khan will be the chief guest.

South Carolina (7-11) at Missouri (14-4)
The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 25, 4 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Mizzou Arena (15,061) -- Columbia, Missouri. Television: SEC Network. Home Record: South Carolina 5-4, Missouri 9-1. Away Record: South Carolina 0-6, Missouri 2-2. Neutral Record: South Carolina 2-1, Missouri 3-1. Conference Record: South Carolina 0-5, Missouri 2-3. Series Record: Missouri leads, 2-0.
GAME NOTES: The South Carolina Gamecocks will try once again for their first SEC victory of the season on Saturday afternoon when they venture to Mizzou Arena to take on the Missouri Tigers.
South Carolina put forth a respectable non-conference showing (7-6) but has dropped five in a row since entering SEC play. The Gamecocks were embarrassed at Georgia on Wednesday night, losing by a 97-76 final to dip to 0-6 in true road games.
Missouri is also coming off a loss, as it fell on the wrong end of a 77-71 decision at LSU on Tuesday night. The Tigers are just 2-3 in conference competition, but their season as a whole has still been stellar at 14-4 overall. They have enjoyed their home cooking, boasting a 9-1 ledger at Mizzou Arena.
The teams met for the first time last season, with Missouri sweeping the two- game series by a combined 28 points.
Although the Gamecocks shot a respectable 45.8 percent from the field in their most recent contest, they allowed Georgia to shoot a lofty 55.1 percent and sent it to the foul line 50 times en route to the 21-point setback. Sindarius Thornwell was outstanding in spite of defeat, netting 26 points on 8-of-12 from the floor while also dishing out four assists. Brenton Williams was 4- of-7 from 3-point range on his way to 18 points, while Duane Notice and Jaylen Shaw netted 14 and 12 points, respectively.
South Carolina shoots 43.2 percent from the field this season for 70.6 ppg, but that isn't enough to support its lackluster scoring defense (71.1 ppg). It also makes good on less than 69 percent of its free-throw tries and lives in the red in terms of turnover margin (-0.5). Thornwell leads the way with 12.8 ppg. Williams (11.5 ppg) has drained a team-best 35 3-pointers and has made all but one of his 51 foul shots for the best qualifying free-throw percentage in the nation (.980). Tyrone Johnson rounds out the double-digit scorers with 11.2 ppg.
The Tigers took a one-point lead with under three minutes to play in their latest bout on a Jabari Brown 3-pointer, but LSU ran off six straight points over the next two and a half minutes to put the game away. They shot less than 40 percent from the field in the six-point loss, but Brown was outstanding all night long, shooting 10-of-15 from the field, including 5-of-6 from beyond the arc for a career-high 28 points. Jordan Clarkson filled up the stat sheet with 19 points, five rebounds, three assists and four steals, while Earnest Ross posted a double-double with 16 points and 11 boards.
Despite Missouri's struggles of late, it still presents itself as one of the SEC's most well-rounded teams, as it shoots 45.8 percent from the field for 74.4 ppg, while allowing just 65.9 ppg on 38.7 percent shooting. It also owns a strong +7.1 rebounding margin and shoots a solid 72.2 percent from the foul line, but its one glaring weakness is its -1.4 turnover margin. Brown (19.3 ppg) has made 51 3-pointers at a lofty 45.1 percent clip, part of a .498 shooting percentage overall. Clarkson is right on Brown's heels for the scoring lead with 18.7 ppg, while dishing out a team-best 3.4 apg. Ross (14.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg) rounds out the stellar scoring trio, although no one else puts up more than 6.9 ppg.
Missouri has not lived up to expectations in SEC play so far, but it should have no problem keeping its success at home alive in this one against a South Carolina squad that hasn't been able to compete either in conference or on the road.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Missouri 85, South Carolina 67

Stars Observed in the FEROS Programme (HR diagram)
Part of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram - a very useful way to illustrate stellar evolution. Plotting the temperature of solar-type stars (abscissa; in degrees Kelvin or as a "colour index") against their intrinsic brightness (ordinate; in solar units) reveals a typical distribution (hotter stars are less bright than cooler stars) that reflects their different evolutionary stages. With time, the position of the Sun in this diagram (now at the lower left) will migrate towards the upper right as it expands and becomes brighter. This direction corresponds to increasing radius. The positions and names of four giant stars that are known to host planets (as of 2003) are marked. The largest and brightest of them is HD 47536, as indicated by its upper-right position, relative to the three others.Credit:

Suzanne Vega
Ram's Head Tavern | Annapolis, MD | 04.10.02
It's a small wonder why seeing Suzanne Vega perform at an intimate venue - such as the Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis, Maryland, which seats no more than 223 souls - is as refreshing as it is exciting. Having played to audiences large and small, from coast-to-coast, Europe, and beyond for much of 2001-2 in support of her latest effort, Songs in Red and Gray, Vega settled down at a highly anticipated return trip to D.C.'s nautical neighbor, billed as "an evening with friends." And indeed, Vega's early performance last Wednesday evening lived up to those expectations. The comfort of Ram's Head On Stage's "listening room" provided a warm setting, made warmer by Vega's brand of introspective musings and gorgeous melodies. The buffer zone of professionalism seemed relaxed as sincerity was on cue for the entire evening.
Joined by long-time touring partner Mike Visceglia on bass, Vega took the stage at quarter past seven, briefed the room, courted the audience with a smile and hello, then quickly launched into her first hit single (from her 1985 debut album), "Marlene on the Wall." A standard opener, well received nonetheless. Afterwards, Vega remarked that requests would be the theme of the evening, noting, "the previous night's audience felt very encouraged to shout out thoughts and requests… perhaps a little too encouraged… but that's a good thing." Immediately, names of songs old and new were heard from throughout the room and Vega requited, aptly performing a string of favorites, each deserving of an introduction, including "Small Blue Thing", "Caramel", "Calypso", "When Heroes Go Down", "Rock in This Pocket" and "Gypsy." "Calypso" stood out as a showing of gentle rhythms and delicately placed lyrics, and provided a nice moment for Visceglia to run a few notes up and down the neck of the bass. Vega provided personal insight about the soul soother "Gypsy", a song written "when I was seventeen, while working as a camp counselor in the Adirondack Mountains. An English boy had captured my heart and we would spend the evenings just laying around, looking at the stars curled up in each others arms." The song was further influenced by her love of Leonard Cohen's work.
Eager for anything Vega, the audience was led through more walks down memory lane and playful anecdotes between songs. A helping of new, old, and in-between material read like a Vega biography (in fact, at one point, Vega even read a passage from her book). "Widow's Walk" gently waltzed through the intricacies of love lost told via metaphor (Vega recently divorced producer Mitchell Froom). The ever recognizable "Tom's Diner" (with its "Doo-doooo, Doo-doo, Doooo, Doo-doo, Doo" hook and good use of reverb on vocals) visited the eatery at 112th St. and Broadway in New York City (Vega's hometown hangout). And Vega closed her performance with "In Liverpool", a composition that came to her while walking the streets of the namesake, reflecting on the English boy she fancied some 20 years prior.
Coming full circle seems to be a theme for Vega, judging by her fresh and nostalgic performance at a venue that seduces her return, time and time again. Toward show's end, Vega thanked Viscaglia for his contribution on bass, thanked the sound crew for a job well-done, thanked the audience for playing along, and thanked Ram's Head for, "just being here." I couldn't agree more. The intimacy of this performance was, all at once, provocative, inspiring, and easy-going. In speaking with Vega briefly, after the show, she mentioned that she feels a sense of emotional release for the first time in a while, something difficult to come by for a New Yorker in the post "9/11" era (a friend of hers died in the tragedy). And it showed. After some much needed time off, she will take to the road, again, in Europe. Satisfying all who will lend her their ears, completing the circle once more.

If you are operating heavy machinery or prone to fainting spells you might want to take a seat, as Olympic skater and diva Johnny Weir has come out of the closet. Finally. In his new memoir Welcome to My World, Weir admits that "In a sexual way, I'm gay," which sounds like a great way to be it. Apparently Weir knew he was gay since childhood, reminiscing how "Watching Richard Gere in Pretty Woman at the tender age of six was when I had first realized there was something different about me…Kissing seemed like a weird thing to do, but I knew if I was going to do it, it would be with Richard Gere." That movie made us feel the exact same way!
While he had been feeling pressure from gay advocate groups for a while to publicly announce his orientation, Weir decided to come out now as a way to support the next generation of LGBTQ youth. "With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story," Weir explained. Huge fabulous hats off to Johnny for the announcement, and be sure to check back in tomorrow when we reveal or not rain is wet (we'll give you a hint: it is).

(3 star hotel)
including 8 days parking
from the airport
customer rating
A big country house with a little price tag
The Russ Hill began life as a country manor and still retains a charming, rustic feel. Although this large, friendly lodge is just 10 minutes' drive from Gatwick's terminals, it enjoys picturesque rural views of nearby Surrey something of a rarity at an airport hotel.
Cosy, comfortable and close to south terminal
The Russ Hill offers well-soundproofed and comfortable rooms, a cosy bar and an informal dining room which serves breakfast and buffet-style dinners. The Russ Hills theme is traditional British from the wood-panelled walls and high-backed armchairs to the roasted dinners and local pub feel of the bar; its a refreshing contrast to the familiar chain hotels that dominate the area. All rooms are en-suite and have a television, and free wifi is available in the hotel's public areas. A bus runs hourly to the airport terminals (see Getting There for further details); or its a quick taxi ride.
Staff were great all went smoothly facilities very good just think food menu cd be a little better a wider choiceMr/S Paulsavies1964 (Gatwick Russ Hill)
Only stayed 1 night. Arrived very late but the gentleman that greeted us was very helpful amd polite.Mr Oneil (Gatwick Russ Hill)

UAW Says Labor Costs to Stay Similar at GM, Ford, Chrysler
July 25 (Bloomberg) -- The United Auto Workers intends to keep labor costs comparable in its contract negotiations with General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, President Bob King said today.
"We're not going to advantage or disadvantage one company versus another," King told reporters at Chrysler's Auburn Hills, Michigan, headquarters for the start of labor talks with the automaker majority-owned by Fiat SpA. "We want them to be competing on the basis of product and design and quality."
Hourly workers at Chrysler and GM, as part of U.S-backed bankruptcies in 2009, agreed not to strike over wages and benefits during this year's contract talks. Ford, based in Dearborn, Michigan, didn't seek a U.S. bailout and UAW members at the company rejected a strike ban and arbitration.
The UAW has helped Chrysler revamp its operations, Al Iacobelli, the automaker's vice president of employee relations, told reporters.
"The objective is to keep it right and not fall back into our old ways of making ourselves uncompetitive," he said.
The current UAW contracts at the automakers expire Sept. 14. King has said workers must be rewarded for the $7,000 to $30,000 in concessions they each gave since 2005 to help the automakers survive.
Ford, Chrysler and Detroit-based GM combined to earn more than $6 billion in the first quarter. Last year, GM earned $6.17 billion. Ford had net income of $6.56 billion in 2010, the most in 11 years.
Chrysler Profit
Chrysler posted a first-quarter profit of $116 million, its first since emerging from bankruptcy. The company has forecast a full-year profit of as much as $500 million for 2011. The automaker reported a net loss of $652 million last year.
Ford said on a website that it spends $58 an hour to provide wages and benefits to UAW members, $8 more than the average labor costs at the mostly nonunion U.S. factories of foreign automakers such as Hyundai Motor Co. Chrysler has said its hourly labor costs are about $50. Kristin Dziczek, an analyst at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, estimates GM's hourly labor costs at $56.
Ford is in the worst position among the companies because it's the only one facing the possibility of a strike in the talks, analysts such as Dziczek have said. Unresolved issues at GM and Chrysler are subject to binding arbitration.
Profit Sharing
Chrysler doesn't want to see an increase in its hourly labor costs and is interested in creating a better profit-sharing equation for hourly workers, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking.
Chrysler's current profit-sharing system is complex and not aligned with the company's goals, according to this person, who was not authorized to speak about the issue publicly. Some new metrics may include attendance, quality, productivity and a more transparent measure of profit, the person said.
The automaker sees active health-care costs as a way to find savings, possibly to pay for increases in variable pay, the person said.
King said health care is an area to find savings "that won't take a penny" from members.
"That's the kind of approach we'll have on all of the issues," he said.

Four Fat Loss Foods
I get questions every day on what to eat. Things like snack ideas, good meal recipes, and healthy breakfast foods are hard to come by. Rest assured, I am here to help. Check out these four foods that will help in fat loss, along with an incredible cookbook. Each individual should be looked at on an individual basis to determine what is right for them, but generally speaking, there are some foods that are great for everyone. They are dense in nutrients, and paired with a solid exercise program can help you lose those unwanted pounds.
1. Eggs
Back 10–20 years ago, everyone was afraid of eggs. Hell, I still hear it today. People think that eggs are bad for you because they will raise your cholesterol. So what did everyone do? They began to just eat the egg whites, little did they know that all of the nutrients of an egg are in the yolk. There is a plethora of research out there, and it is now clear that eggs are great for you! They are protein packed, fill you up, and create a great breakfast.
Here is a great article that details the benefits of eggs: The Truth about Eggs
2. Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt has become very popular as of late, and for a good reason. Greek Yogurt has the benefits of regular yogurts (antioxidants, vitamins, minerals), with 3–5 times more protein.We all should know protein intake is one of the top keys for fat loss, and muscle building. Protein helps repair and rebuild muscle, as well as it keeps you full longer. Yogurt can be a great snack, but try to vow for the Greek Yogurt. As an extra bonus, you can freeze it and have some for a late night frozen snack.
3. Cottage Cheese
A lot of mistakes are made in nutrition when it comes to snacking. Nuts are a great snack, but be careful as they are very caloric dense. A handful of nuts is fine, but typically that handful turns into five handfuls, and next thing you know you've consumed 1500 calories in nuts. One of my favorite snacks is some cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is pretty low in calories, low in carbohydrates, and very high in protein, the perfect combination for fat loss. A lot of people can't stand the taste of cottage cheese, I was the same way. After a while I got use to it, and now love it. If you don't like it, try combining a little fruit with the cottage cheese.
4. Green Tea
I know I said this would be foods, but I can't talk about fat loss without mentioning green tea. I aim to drink 24–48 fluid ounces of green tea everyday. Not only does it taste amazing, but the benefits are endless. Benefits include increased metabolism, and reduced risk of certain cancers, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Here is a little snip from Harvard that outlines the benefits: Benefit of Drinking Green Tea
So, those are four items that will help you in nutrition. Make sure you realize, nutrition is 80% of the results you get. There is a good saying that I love that goes like this, "Eat Like Crap, Look Like Crap." Simple, and very true.
A lot of the questions I get is not about what is bad for you, and good for you, people generally know that. The most common thing I hear is I don't know what to eat, I need snack ideas, and meal ideas. Every time I get this question I direct them to this book: Metabolic Cooking. This books is huge, and has hundred of recipes for every meal, and dozens of snacks. It is well worth the investment, and I highly recommend it.

One of the things that makes cinema so compelling and so infuriating is that life is never enough for it. Even the most dramatic life must be heightened. This is true of very good movies as well as mediocre ones. For example, Jesus Christ had rather a vivid time of it during his 33 years, what with escaping Herod as a baby and performing miracles and dying for our sins. But in King of Kings, one of his biopics, he also has to be very good-looking and accompanied down the road by heavenly choirs.

After a rollercoaster ride in equity markets this year, investors are more than willing to put 2010 in the rearview mirror and look ahead to opportunities in 2011. The case has already been made for investors to pile into quality, large-cap stocks, as money managers expect them to thrive after a decade of sluggishness.
Others may find more value in stocks trading under $5, which typically don't receive attention from mutual funds due to their miniscule share prices. Many of these low-priced stocks have proven to be winners, including SMTC Corp. (SMTX), Wabash National (WNC) and Callon Petroleum (CPE), all of which more than tripled this year.
In January, Jamie Dlugosch of InvestorPlace offered five penny stocks that offered potential rewards in 2010. Some fared incredibly well, while others languished.
- Sirius XM (SIRI - Get Report) is up 130% this year
- Denny's (DENN) has rallied 67%
- MoneyGram International (MGI) has fallen about 10%
- Majesco Entertainment (COOL) is down 35%
- Oilsands Quest (BQI) is down 64%

25 July 2007 09:04 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--South Korea's Hanwha Chemical is in talks with Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) to take an equity stake in its 1.3m tonne/year cracker project in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, a source close to the project said on Wednesday.?xml:namespace>
"It is hard to say when the negotiations will end," the source said. He would also not divulge any details of the share-holding structure being discussed by the two potential partners.
A Hanwha group spokesman had, however, told ICIS news in June that the potential Saudi partner (whose identity he would not disclose) would hold the majority stake in a $6.5bn-7.6bn cracker complex in ?xml:namespace>
The companies were to sign an agreement by the end of June or in early July but this has been delayed indefinitely as the group chairman Kim Seung-yun (since jailed) was on trial on charges of assault, the spokesman had added.
The $7bn Sipchem cracker complex, which would include high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density (LDPE), polypropylene (PP) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) plants, is expected to start up in 2011.
About 3m tonnes/year of 18 different products would be produced by the complex, the company said last year.
Ethane and propane mixed feedstock for the cracker would be secured from Saudi Aramco.
Construction of the company's acetyls project at the same site, consisting of a 460,000 tonne/year acetic acid plant, a 330,000 tonne/year vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) unit and a 345,000 tonne/year carbon monoxide facility was progressing well, a second source close to the project said.
These plants were expected to go on stream in late 2008, he added. According to the source, the company was planning to export significant volumes of these products to Asia and
Sipchem affiliates signed a $560m project finance loan with nine regional banks for the acetyls complex last December.

Tumblr exploding in 3,... 2,...
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch has just appeared to have outed his version of Sherlock Holmes.
The Imitation Game star, who stars in the BBC series Sherlock, has compared the differences between his show and the other Steven Moffat-ran programme Doctor Who.
He was being interviewed on The Nerdist podcast when host Chris Hardwick suggested both shows and lead characters were very similar.
'One uses a sonic screwdriver and time travel and the other uses his brain and isn't 900 years old and isn't reincarnated,' Cumberbatch said.
Gay star says the chance to work with puppets is 'like kryptonite for me'
On How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris dreams of seducing women. But on his new web series, he dreams in puppet.
The Emmy winning actor debuted a new web series this week called Neil's Puppet Dreams with six more episodes to follow - one per week. Harris interacts with Jim Henson puppets in a dream state in the quirky series on Chris Hardwick's Nerdist channel.
Harris was part of a previous success that originated on the web: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. He was eager to experience that kind of creative freedom again.

Comment on Tamaki Kousaka Konotama Ero-Figure by Naoe:
This is one that defines (self thought up) "Eternal Figures". No Matter how much time has past since the original "source", their popularity just never fades down, and people with money and love will still buy them.

He's talking about this arcade game rather than the browser version. For the practically dead arcade scene in the US it's pretty much impossible to get one.

Veterans reading only headlines, hearing only sound bites, might have a few misconceptions about how Congress and the VA plan to use non-VA healthcare providers to ensure more timely and convenient access to care. A magical sounding item called a "Veteran's Choice Card," for example, won't be a limitless credit card given qualified veterans to cover whatever health services they receive from whatever physician they use.
And veterans not already enrolled in VA health care won't gain accelerated access to outside care as promised by the legislation – unless they serve in areas of combat operations within five years of enrollment. The centerpiece of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of (H.R.3230) is a special $10 billion Veterans Choice Fund.
Over the next three years, VA is to use the fund as needed to buy care from non-VA care providers for veterans if they face long waits for VA care – defined initially as more than 30 days – or if they reside more than 40 miles from VA care. The intent is to eliminate VA patient wait lists that some VA health administrators and staff conspired to hide in recent years, thus compromising the integrity of performance reports and putting patients' health at risk. VA leaders and veteran service organizations prefer to attack wait times through improved resourcing.
They want VA spending raised to meet actual patient demand from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, from the expansion of diseases presumed caused by defoliants used in Vietnam, and from higher costs of caring for aging veterans. So H.R.3230 also authorizes VA to spend $5 billion more to expand its own capacity to deliver care, by hiring more medical and support staff and also building and leasing more space.
House-Senate conferees, in shaping the final bill, categorized the Choice Fund as emergency money so the $10 billion gets added to the nation's debt but not to VA budgets. The $5 billion for more VA-delivered care is to be paid through cuts elsewhere in VA, including executive bonuses and by deferring planned rate cuts for some types of VA home loans. The legislation mandates use of a new Veteran's Choice Card but it isn't a golden key to private sector care.
It will be more like an informational insurance card to be presented to non-VA health care providers to identify the veteran and to verify eligibility for episodes of care that, sometime earlier, were arranged through and approved by a VA care coordinator. The administrative challenges ahead for VA in coordinating a vast expansion of private sector care, monitoring outside care quality and integrating those medical records back into VA health care will be profound. But the bill is said to set aside only $300 million for these added tasks.

"I had these address labels made in a custom color (dark pink) and they turned out great! I think these will add a really nice touch to the thank you cards we're planning to send out!"
"These are perfect for any newly married couple to use on their thank you notes! I needed to have three lines of address text not including the name line and it was no problem--great customer service!"
"These matched perfect with the invite and saved me a ton of time. The only thing I would change is have the print a tiny bit darker. I chose the purple and my name was more vivid than my address. Otherwise perfect."

"What is that thing she asks" ?" "It's a Kumquat says I"… "What does it taste like" ?"
"Well…" says I, "it's sweet, bitter, puckery, zesty, citrusy but never demure."
"May I taste one ?"
"Of course," says I. "Let me wash it first…."
"How do I eat it?"
"You eat it like a grape," says I. "Just pop it in your mouth."
A leap of faith followed by a puckered face and a grimace. "Wow it's bitter but sort of sweet…"
"Yup says I."
"I'm not sure I like it," says she. A moment passes along with a migration of the flavor from the tip of the tongue to the sides and even the taste buds at the rear. "I'll take the lot says she…"
The foregoing fictionalized drama is a common occurrence in real life when I stand in the produce aisle and hawk kumquats like a common street peddler.
I love the things and have as long as I can recall.
Kumquats originated in the East, likely Japan or the Philippines. They were first brought to England in 1846 and have been cultivated in California for nearly a century. The most common variety in the US is the Nagami variety. A near perfect oval and as pretty as a California orange but all comparisons stop there. Often candied and used as garnish the kumquat has the fortitude to stand on its own as a citrus snack. The cognoscenti gobble them up skin and all. The more timid skin them and eat only the sweet flesh.
I say skinning kumquats before eating them is like taking a bath with your socks on. Pop the entire thing in your mouth and enjoy the widest array of flavor and taste nature can provide.
You'll find them in the produce aisle at Hiller's
One of the most interesting parts of my job is answering customer emails. Most of them begin with; "I've looked everywhere for product x can you help me?". About 95% of the time my answer is yes.. Hiller's has it. That's because Hiller's offers far more choices than any of our competitors. One example is yogurt. At Hiller's we have more than 175 varieties. We have Coconut milk yogurt, Lactose free yogurt, Soy yogurt, Almond milk yogurt, Probiotic yogurt, goat milk yogurt, Icelandic style, Australian style, Greek style, even labneh, Quark and Yakult the unique Japanese probiotic. Lot's of organics too. And that's not counting the dozens of varieties of Kefir we carry.
When it comes to yogurt, Hiller's most definitely has it.
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma,
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue,
You taste just like an overshoe,
But lutefisk, come Saturday,
I tink I eat you anyvay
Cloistered among the oddest of holiday traditions is the Scandinavians' consumption of Lutefisk.
It seems only natural that the descendants of the Vikings, perhaps history's greatest tough guys, would celebrate a food prepared with a caustic and highly dangerous substance. Lute –(cod) fisk preserved in lye (lut)—is both a delicacy and a tradition among Scandinavian-Americans, who serve the chemical-soaked, gelatinous fish with a warm and friendly smile. Lutefisk, or lutfisk in Swedish, is a traditional dish in Norway, Sweden, and parts of Finland.
These days the consumption of Lutefisk is mainly limited to the Northern tier of American states where those same descendants of Vikings now reside and consider it a connection to their ancestral home.
A Lutefisk starts as cod, traditionally caught in the cold waters off Norway. It's then dried to the point that it attains the feel of leather and the firmness of corrugated cardboard. Water alone can't reconstitute the fish, so it's soaked in lye. Yes, lye, the industrial chemical used to unclog drains and dispose of murder victims, the one that explodes when it comes in contact with aluminum. Incidentally, it's the same chemical that gives pretzels that deep, shiny brown, cures fresh olives for eating, and what makes bagels gleam; these foods just don't advertise this fact like lutefisk does. The fish is then repeatedly rinsed before being shipped off for cooking and eating. But it's still so close to toxic that the state of Wisconsin specifically exempts lutefisk from classification as a toxic substance in Section 101.58 (2)(j)(f) of its laws regulating workplace safety.
Traditional lutefisk preparation is simple. Merely place it in a pan, (do not use an aluminum pan as the lye in the fish will discolor the pan)salt it, seal the lid tightly, and let it steam-cook at very low heat for 20–25 minutes.
You can also make traditional Minnesota lutefisk recipes in your oven. Place the fish in an ovenproof dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 225 °C (435 °F) for 40–50 minutes.
Toppings vary from bacon or pork drippings, white sauce, mustard sauce, or melted butter still the most traditional way to top the lutefisk.
Boiled and steamed potatoes, stewed whole, and green peas are a traditional "must" as vegetable accompaniments or side dishes. The one other "necessary" addition is lefse a type of flatbread
And if you're wondering… Hiller's does carry Lutefisk but only during the holiday season. Look for it with the other frozen fish products if you have the stomach for it….
It's on my personal holiday menu this year.
I'm always amused when I meet customers who tell me that they only shop at Hiller's for holidays and important events. They believe we're too special for everyday shopping… Apparently they have overlooked the fact that we have Froot Loops , Pepsi, Spam,Tide and Charmin toilet paper and all at very competitive prices… It's true… Hiller's has everything from Spam to caviar; not only caviar. There's about 50,000 items in between that covers everything a family needs day to day and week to week. Best of all it's all under one roof so you don't need to waste fuel driving to different places to satisfy your grocery needs. We even give you loyalty club points for every dollar you spend at Hiller's which translates to special offer's, free products, reduced prices and even charitable donations.
Am I biased? Of course I am, but why not see for yourself. Compare our aisles to any or all of our competitors. I'm confident that you'll conclude what so many of your friends and neighbors already have. Hiller's provides genuine value. And, when price and value coexist it's a beautiful and rare thing…
The 3rd Friday of March is a singularly important day to a singularly important part of the future health and wellbeing of these United States.
It is none other than National Residency Match Day and for the graduates of medical schools every year it determines where they will train in their respective specialties' on the road to becoming practicing physicians anywhere from 3 to 12 years thereafter.
I have been fortunate to be immersed in the ritual fire dance that finding a desirable residency match entails twice in my life. Most currently with my son Spencer who graduates in May 2014 from University of Michigan Medical School.
Securing a spot in a choice residency program is no easy thing. Spencer chose a career in Urology which is a particularly tough to get specialty and much hard work is involved on the student's part he or she is to succeed. In Spence's case, he spent a month working in a Urology program in California at Keck School of Medicine at USC, at University of Michigan Hospital Department of Urology and at Beaumont Hospital Department of Urology. During each of those rotations every day was a two-way audition with each seeking to demonstrate worthiness of the others' desire. Naturally the prospective resident needs to work the harder of the two in order to demonstrate their worth; especially when seeking a career in a specialty like Urology where only about 60% of applicants find a matching program.
In a perfect situation every residency program would have hundreds of medical students to choose among and every program would want every student but that is far from the case. Obtaining a spot in a storied and top quality residency program is highly competitive and there is a paucity of available openings.
Following this period of rotating through numerous programs by the students, both the medical students and the residency programs rank each other in order of desirability.
Finally… through the facilitation of a third party corporation the lists of both the medical students and the residency programs are spun through a wash and dry cycle and for many or most medical students and residency programs a match occurs.
On Friday March 21, 2014 I sat in a room at University of Michigan Medical School as the drama of the residency match came to its conclusion. At precisely 12:00 noon envelopes were distributed to each medical student containing a letter advising them where they would be spending the next phase of their training.
For many there were tears of joy. At U of M Medical School most students get their first or second choice. For a few there were tears of sadness that they did not and for one or two there was no match at all so other paths to the future have to be explored.
In case you're wondering. Spencer Charles Hiller, University of Michigan medical class of 2014 will be a Urology Resident at Beaumont Hospital.
