Temperance River State Park to host camping basics program on June 22Tue, 06/11/2013 - 1:37pm
Families will learn all the skills they need to camp outdoors at a one-night "I Can Camp!" program on Saturday, June 22, at Temperance River State Park on the north shore of Lake Superior near Schroeder, Minn.
Experienced instructors from Conservation Corps Minnesota will teach participants basic camping and outdoor skills, including how to set up a tent, start a campfire and prepare simple and delicious meals. All camping equipment is provided (including tents, air mattresses and cook stoves). Participants just bring their own food and bedding (sleeping bags or blankets and pillows).
The "I Can Camp!" program fee is $40 for a tent that accommodates up to six people. A one-day vehicle pass will be included as part of the program fee or participants may buy a year-round Minnesota state parks permit for an additional $20.
Advance registration is required. To register, call 866-857-2757 (toll free) daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.mndnr.gov/ican or call the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 (or 888-646-6367 toll free) between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
This program is part of an ongoing effort by the DNR Parks and Trails Division to connect people with the outdoors. The division also offers skill-building programs that introduce fishing, paddling, climbing and archery to beginners.
Funding for this I Can Camp! program is from the Parks and Trails Fund, created after voters approved the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment in November 2008. The Parks and Trails Fund receives 14.25 percent of the three-eighths percent sales tax revenue that may only be spent to support parks and trails of regional or statewide significance.
Why did the turtle cross the road?Tue, 06/11/2013 - 11:35am
Turtles are now crossing roads to reach nests, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking people to leave turtles alone as they cross roads to reach nesting areas.
Each year at this time, many female turtles move from lakes, ponds, wetlands, rivers and streams to nesting areas, where they deposit their eggs in self-excavated nests. Unfortunately, many nesting areas are separated from the turtles' wintering areas by roads they cross as they make their way to nests. "Many turtles and other species are killed on Minnesota roads each year, especially during the nesting season," said Carol Hall, DNR herpetologist. People can help reduce turtle road death in these ways:
• Allow unassisted road crossings. When turtles can safely cross roads unaided due to a lack of oncoming traffic, allow them to do so. Observe from a distance and avoid rapid movements. Doing otherwise may cause turtles to change direction, stop, or seek shelter within their shells.
• Avoid excessive handling. Excessive handling can disrupt normal behavior. Prolonged examination of turtles should be limited to only one or two turtles of each species.
• Maintain travel direction. Always move turtles in the same direction they were traveling when encountered. Turtles should always be moved across roadways in as direct a line as possible.
• People who see a turtle or other animal on the road should slow down and safely drive around it. Many people want to help turtles cross the road but the best approach is to let the turtle cross on its own. There are nine turtle species in the state, some of which are protected.

AUSTIN, Texas - A far-right faction of the Texas State Board of Education succeeded Friday in injecting conservative ideals into social studies, history and economics lessons that will be taught to millions of students for the next decade.
Keep reading below, or see a slideshow of the most radical changes approved by Texas's education board:
The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum's world history standards on Enlightenment thinking, "replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin." From the Texas Freedom Network's live-blog of the board hearing: Board member Cynthia Dunbar wants to change a standard having students study the impact of Enlightenment ideas on political revolutions from 1750 to the present. She wants to drop the reference to Enlightenment ideas (replacing with "the writings of") and to Thomas Jefferson. She adds Thomas Aquinas and others. Jefferson's ideas, she argues, were based on other political philosophers listed in the standards. We don't buy her argument at all. Board member Bob Craig of Lubbock points out that the curriculum writers clearly wanted to students to study Enlightenment ideas and Jefferson. Could Dunbar's problem be that Jefferson was a Deist? The board approves the amendment, taking Thomas Jefferson OUT of the world history standards. We're just picking ourselves up off the floor. The board's far-right faction has spent months now proclaiming the importance of emphasizing America's exceptionalism in social studies classrooms. But today they voted to remove one of the greatest of America's Founders, Thomas Jefferson, from a standard about the influence of great political philosophers on political revolutions from 1750 to today.
"Teachers in Texas will be required to cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation's Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state." "I reject the notion by the left of a constitutional separation of church and state," said David Bradley, a conservative from Beaumont who works in real estate. "I have $1,000 for the charity of your choice if you can find it in the Constitution."
Curriculum standards also will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.
Conservatives beat back multiple attempts to include hip-hop as an example of a significant cultural movement.
The Board refused to require that "students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others."
"Other changes seem aimed at tamping down criticism of the right. Conservatives passed one amendment, for instance, requiring that the history of McCarthyism include 'how the later release of the Venona papers confirmed suspicions of communist infiltration in U.S. government.' The Venona papers were transcripts of some 3,000 communications between the Soviet Union and its agents in the United States."
"They also included a plank to ensure that students learn about 'the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority and the National Rifle Association.'" The Dallas Morning News noted that "high school students will learn about leading conservative groups from the 1980s and 1990s – but not about liberal or minority rights groups."
"Board member Barbara Cargill, R-The Woodlands, objected to a standard for a high school sociology course that addressed the difference between sex and gender. It was eliminated in a 9-to-6 vote. She worried that a discussion of that issue would lead students into the world of 'transvestites, transsexuals and who knows what else.'"
"Members voted to polish up references to the American 'free enterprise' economic system and removed most mentions of 'capitalism,' a word that board member Ken Mercer, R-San Antonio, said has a negative connotation."
"Board members also rejected requiring history teachers and textbooks to provide coverage on the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy and new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, while the late President Ronald Reagan was elevated to more prominent coverage."
With all five minority members dissenting, the conservative-dominated panel voted 10-5 to endorse the proposed standards after rejecting an effort to specifically mention that Tejanos were among the fallen heroes of the Alamo. "I am very distressed," said Mary Helen Berlanga, D-Corpus Christi, who sponsored the unsuccessful amendment. "Until we are ready to tell the truth about history, we don't have a good history or social studies textbook."
Teachers in Texas will be required to cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation's Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state. Curriculum standards also will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.
"We have been about conservatism versus liberalism," said Democrat Mavis Knight of Dallas, explaining her vote against the standards. "We have manipulated strands to insert what we want it to be in the document, regardless as to whether or not it's appropriate."
Following three days of impassioned and acrimonious debate, the board gave preliminary approval to the new standards with a 10-5 party line vote. A final vote is expected in May, after a public comment period that could produce additional amendments and arguments.
Decisions by the board -- made up of lawyers, a dentist and a weekly newspaper publisher among others -- can affect textbook content nationwide because Texas is one of publishers' biggest clients.
Ultraconservatives wielded their power over hundreds of subjects this week, introducing and rejecting amendments on everything from the civil rights movement to global politics. Hostilities flared and prompted a walkout Thursday by one of the board's most prominent Democrats, Mary Helen Berlanga of Corpus Christi, who accused her colleagues of "whitewashing" curriculum standards.
By late Thursday night, three other Democrats seemed to sense their futility and left, leaving Republicans to easily push through amendments heralding "American exceptionalism" and the U.S. free enterprise system, suggesting it thrives best absent excessive government intervention.
"Some board members themselves acknowledged this morning that the process for revising curriculum standards in Texas is seriously broken, with politics and personal agendas dominating just about every decision," said Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, which advocates for religious freedom.
Republican Terri Leo, a member of the powerful Christian conservative voting bloc, called the standards "world class" and "exceptional."
Board members argued about the classification of historic periods (still B.C. and A.D., rather than B.C.E. and C.E.); whether students should be required to explain the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its impact on global politics (they will); and whether former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir should be required learning (she will).
In addition to learning the Bill of Rights, the board specified a reference to the Second Amendment right to bear arms in a section about citizenship in a U.S. government class.
Conservatives beat back multiple attempts to include hip-hop as an example of a significant cultural movement.
Numerous attempts to add the names or references to important Hispanics throughout history also were denied, inducing one amendment that would specify that Tejanos died at the Alamo alongside Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Another amendment deleted a requirement that sociology students "explain how institutional racism is evident in American society."
Democrats did score a victory by deleting a portion of an amendment by Republican Don McLeroy suggesting that the civil rights movement led to "unrealistic expectations for equal outcomes."
Fort Worth Republican Pat Hardy, a longtime teacher, voted for the new standards, but said she wished the board could work with a more cooperative spirit.
"What we've done is we've taken a document that by nature is too long to begin with and then we've lengthened it some more," Hardy said, shortly after the vote. "Those long lists of names that we've put in there ... it's just too long.
"I just think we failed to keep that in mind, it's hard for teachers to get through it all."

Senior softball players Bailey Pratt, left, and Ashlie Stark will be counted on as leaders on a young Nixa team this season.
- Filed Under
To classify the Nixa Eagles softball team as young would be a large understatement.
Of 18 players on the roster, 12 are underclassmen.
"It's a very young team," said Bailey Pratt, one of only two seniors on the squad. "I'm pleasantly surprised with how we've been playing in our first few games. I thought it was going to be much more of a rebuilding year, but we've been playing well as a team." ...

The poetry of Peter Davison, of which this is the ninth volume, covers a broad range of subject matter. Musical and supple, with rewards for the eye, the ear, and the mind, concerned as much with country as with city matters, Davison's poems move past personality. They open questions of identity, explorations of the natural world, personal and religious conflict, and the mysterious workings of memory. His poetry, such as the long poem "The Great Ledge," is especially… (più)

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Deep Space Nine
is a very good one, IMHO. I'm glad they finally returned to the Sisko as Emissary storyline (took them long enough) and I agree that this episode is really the first of the Emissary Arc/Trilogy.
As for the prophecy - well, how else would it work? If Trekor had started talking about Cardassians, subspace whatevers and super advanced starships, the Bajorans of his time would indeed have thought he was insane. So, he used language they were familiar with. I agree that it's not the best way to record revelations from gods that have (in this instance) been proven to actually exist, but it's the best course available.
Imagine if someone from 2012 went back in time to the American South in the 1840s and started telling people that they should do away with slavery because one day there will be massive moveable machines the size of their houses that will go up and down their fields and do all their harvesting for them, so they therefore don't need to rely on slave labor. Imagine they then started going into intricate detail about how these things called tractors and combines work and are produced. The people of that time would just brush off the person's arguments like he was a lunatic.

I did a short trip over the last few days. The panniers weighed about 20 pounds, the distances averaged 50 miles. Nothing too bad. What I didn't realise is that the 2nd day would have mile long hills.
That took a lot out of me, and now that the trip is over I need to recuperate fast. In a month I leave for a supported trip, this was just a training ride for that. The good news is that my bike will weigh 20 pounds less, the bad news is that I will be facing mountains instead of hills.
As soon as I recover I plan on riding up the local mountains 2 or 3 times for my training rides. I have a month, and I feel confident I can pull it off. But if you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them.
I am especialy curious if there is a way to use a HRM to avoid getting wiped out on a hard multiday trip.

With all of this happening, the customers seem to be in a sweet spot. They have many daily deals to pick from but all of this may begin to change in the near future. The general consensus says that the current deal structure is unsustainable. If business can't afford to run deals, then customers won't be getting any deals. Take a look at your inbox and find deals from the past month. It won't be hard for you to see the lack of variety in deals being sent to you. This is a problem that ADit Deals was created to solve.
ADit Deals gives businesses a platform to run their deals for $199 and keep all the proceeds from their deal. Businesses also set their discount percentages. For example, if Need a Cake bakery had run an ADit Deal at 75% off, they would have kept all the money they made from the sale without having to split part of the money with ADit Deals. Normally, daily deal sites hold part of the money from deal sales for up to 90 days and distribute it back to the business within that period. With ADit Deals, you can connect your PayPal or Authorize.net account to the deal and receive money as the deal is being purchased. Businesses also have the option of linking to their store checkout.
Each deal comes with a press release and 200 Buzz Signals to promote the deal.
ADit Deals is structured to provide both the customer and the merchant the best possible deal. It is truly a win-win for all involved, the customers can receive deeper discounts and the merchant can keep the money from their sales. Finally ADit Deals is here and ready for your business.
Run an ADit Deal today.

Doctor Who Wins TV Guide Magazine's Fan Favorites Cover Contest
Matt Smith | Photo Credits: Adrian Rogers/BBC
Hordes of Whovians, as they're called, voted for the British sci-fi series to win our third Fan Favorites cover poll — galvanizing support through countless blog posts, message-board comments and tweets. The consensus was it's about time Doctor Who (beloved back home in the U.K.) got the props it deserves in the States. And that the fans love Matt Smith, who currently plays the show's titular time and space traveler known only as the Doctor ("Doctor who?" Get it?). "That's amazing!" Smith shouts on the road to a shoot in Wales, before turning serious. "Thank you to everyone who voted, because this is a huge, huge accolade. Fans mustn't underestimate their role in the emergence of the show in America." He's not kidding. Who's had a long, strange trip on the way to the exciting place it's in now.
Let's go back in time, shall we?
Doctor Who debuted in Britain on November 23, 1963, the day after the Kennedy assassination. The First Doctor, played by wizened William Hartnell with Einstein-esque hair and a frock coat, barked pedantically at his three companions (two schoolteachers and his granddaughter) while holding his lapels.
Together they traversed the universe battling baddies in the Doctor's signature ride, the TARDIS, which could theoretically change shape to blend into its surroundings but was stuck as a 1950s-era British police call box. Five episodes in, the Doctor faced the Daleks, who would become his most long-standing foes, extraterrestrials resembling big metal pepper pots with one plunger-like hand and a goal that doubled as their favorite word: "Exterminate!"
When Hartnell's declining health forced him off the series, Who's writers introduced their concept of "regeneration," which allowed the Doctor, a member of a human-looking alien race called the Time Lords, to transform into a different being. So in 1966, Hartnell's Doctor collapsed and woke up a newer, younger man, portrayed by mop-topped Patrick Troughton. "I remember realizing that somebody else was playing the Doctor and complaining to my dad that that wasn't the Doctor," recalls current executive producer Steven Moffat, who'd been watching the series since it began — when he was just 2 years old. "It was seeing that show that made me want to know what went on behind the scenes."
Troughton turned into the dashing Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee, the first to appear in color), who in turn became the utterly bananas Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker, in an impossibly long striped scarf) and so on. The one constant besides the TARDIS and the inevitable traveling companions: The Doctor was open-minded and tolerant. And crackers. "Essentially the show is about a madman fighting aliens with a plunger, a toaster and some orangutan fur who saves the world by default or mistake and [is] cleverer than everyone else," Smith says. "That's got a universal appeal, I suppose."
Time-Life Television counted on that when they began syndicating the Pertwee years Stateside in 1972, though the show didn't find a more permanent American home until PBS picked up Baker's episodes in 1978 — where it played as a cult series. By 1985, Who was shedding much of its U.K. audience, and the BBC put the show on hiatus in 1989.
Whovians waited seven years for a poorly received TV-movie, and then...nothing. "There was a sense of defending Doctor Who. It was the underdog," says Matt Hills, author of Fan Cultures and Triumph of the Time Lords. "The show wasn't something you could talk about," says Lynne M. Thomas, coeditor of the anthology Chicks Dig Time Lords. "People would tilt their heads and be like, 'What's that? Star Trek?'"

Wilkinsburg park sale approved
A Wilkinsburg neighborhood group lost in court to stop the school district from selling a park, but the legal fight likely will continue, if only as a stall tactic, a resident opposed to the sale said on Friday.
An appeal to Commonwealth Court could delay the property's sale until after the Wilkinsburg School Board elections on Nov. 5, said Linda Kauffman, 73, who lives on Mifflin Avenue across from Green Street Mini-Park.
"Sufficient delay would bring us to the point where new members of the (school) board would be elected" who might be willing to keep the property, she said. Five of the nine school board seats are up for election.
School districts can sell only property they deem to be unused and unnecessary, but courts must approve the sales.
Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Judge Alan Hertzberg on Wednesday approved the Wilkinsburg School District's request to sell the park, nine months after it filed a petition to do so.
"It's been a long fight, but the decision proves that we were within our rights to sell the property. And we're just relieved, obviously, that this has taken place," said Philip Martell, the school district's director of finance and operations.
The cash-strapped district plans to sell the small park at Mifflin Avenue and Green Street for $71,000 to Akator Construction LLC of Westmoreland County. Akator wants to build six single-family homes on the property.
Kauffman and 26 other Wilkinsburg residents, plus the Nine Mile Run Watershed Association Inc. and its executive director, filed an objection to the sale in March through attorney Michael Wojcik. The petition said the district didn't properly advertise and vote on the sale and disputed that the land wasn't used.
Residents contend the park provides valuable green space for the neighborhood. The school district has said Wilkinsburg borough declined a 2012 offer to take title to the property. School board President Karen Payne said on Friday she had been out of town and hadn't heard the decision.

Calcium and Magnesium chemically bonded with natural citric acid to form Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate are thought to be more bioavailable.
Vitamin D has also been added to enhance absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It forms bones and teeth, and is needed for blood clotting, and transmitting signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. It is most commonly used in the prevention of osteoporosis.
Magnesium is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, and forming ATP-- the energy the body runs on. In primary research, magnesium helped improve vision in persons with glaucoma, which could be due to the fact that Magnesium lowers blood pressure. It has also reduced hyperactivity in children in primary research.

It works!
Cal Mag Citrate review posted by Teff on 11/19/12
I started taking Cal Mag Citrate for leg & foot cramps a couple years ago. I experimented for awhile trying to figure out whether or not it was helping me (I also take other supplements) and how much I needed for it to be effective. I figured out that when I took the Cal Mag Citrate I made it through the night without any Charlie horses waking me up. As soon as I quit taking it, the cramps came back. When I tried taking half the recommended amount it helped some but found that when I took the full amount I got rid of all leg & foot cramps, day and night.

I love this product. The magnesium keeps me regular and the calcium helps my bones. I have to take 5-6 every evening but it works much better than any natural laxative.

Deferring on opening kickoff pays dividends against Chiefs
Bengals at Chargers
Sunday: 1:25 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium
On the air: Ch. 8 (subject to blackout); 105.3-FM; 1360-AM
It wasn't shown on TV.
Not quarterback Philip Rivers calling "tails." Not it landing so.
But, mundane as it may seem, the coin toss Sunday helped the Chargers flip their season.
They return to the practice field this morning with new life, coming off a 41-38 win in Kansas City. An overlooked aspect to the result, although not overlooked internally, is the role of possession sequence.
For that, winning the toss was vital.
San Diego chose to defer, giving itself the first possession after halftime. Down 14-3, the Chargers scored a touchdown in the final minute of the first half. They received the ball to begin the third quarter, scoring a touchdown on that drive.
In 17 plays, the offense totaled 152 yards. The Chiefs had one offensive snap in between, an Alex Smith kneeldown for a negative yard. The Chargers began the sequence down 11 points. They ended up three in a quieted Arrowhead Stadium.
"Boom," center Nick Hardwick said Sunday. "And then off to the races.
"You score back-to-back touchdowns on consecutive series. Now, you're back in the game. Momentum's on your side. Just keep going out and plugging away. You've got good confidence. 'We've scored on two consecutive drives. Why can't we keep scoring?' "
The rapid fire capitalized on a Chiefs defense that was reeling.
It lost Pro Bowl outside linebacker Tamba Hali to an ankle injury during the first play of the second quarter. His replacement, Frank Zombo, had played only 10 defensive snaps all season, and none since Week 1 garbage time in Jacksonville.
Compounding that loss, following the first half's two-minute warning, the Chiefs lost Justin Houston, their other Pro Bowl outside linebacker, to an elbow injury. Replacement Dezman Moses had only seven defensive snaps this year before Sunday, all in that same Week 1 blowout.
Zombo and Moses took 59 and 43 defensive reps Sunday, respectively.
The Chargers kept the unit on the field, on the fly.
"I need to do a better job of being ready," Moses said after the game. "Because you never know, you're one snap away every game, every week. I'll be better prepared next week. ... I have to do a better job of preparing."
This wasn't the first time a Chargers game changed complexion because of the drives surrounding halftime.
In Week 1, San Diego strung touchdown drives to end the first half and begin the second, leaving the Texans only 18 seconds of possession in between. The scores built a 14-7 lead to 28-7.
In Week 4, a field goal and touchdown versus the Cowboys brought the Chargers back from down 21-10 to within 21-20. The Dallas offense didn't touch the ball in between.
A coin toss has flipped things the other way, too. The Broncos deferred in Week 10 to the second half. They compiled consecutive touchdown drives, and Rivers had only 16 seconds in between.
"We talk about it all the time," Rivers said. "We talk about the drive at the end of the half and the drive to start the third quarter, especially when you're able to win the toss and defer. And we did (Sunday). The Broncos did it to us and put them up 28-6, but the drive to end the half: touchdown. Get it to start the half: touchdown. We go from 11 down to three up without them touching the ball.
"That's the best type of defense right there, when they don't get it and we're able to drive."
It can change a game.
A game can change the season.

Local organic-foods cooperative PCC Natural Markets said Friday its long-serving CEO, Tracy Wolpert, has stepped down to "pursue other interests."
PCC will begin a search to replace Wolpert, who joined the cooperative in 2000 and became CEO the following year. Chief financial officer Randy Lee will serve as acting CEO in the interim. Wolpert "is leaving the cooperative on solid financial ground," the company said in a statement.
The Seattle-based retailer, which traces its roots to the 1950s, opened four of its 10 stores under Wolpert's tenure. The latest store, in Greenlake, opened this month.
For 2013 the cooperative reported $200.5 million in sales, up 12 percent from 2012. Profit rose to $4.3 million from $2.5 million, according to the company's annual report.

Hugh Andrews refuels his truck with compressed natural gas at Greer CPW. Andrews made the switch to natural gas two years ago because it's cheaper, produced in America and doesn't produce greenhouse gases like gasoline or diesel. / PATRICK COLLARD / Staff
Rob Rhodes, gas operations director for Greer CPW, said the agency has had inquiries from retailers about how its station operates, but none have shown interest yet. / PATRICK COLLARD / Staff
While natural gas heats many homes, it's only just beginning to catch on as a vehicle fuel source across the nation. / PATRICK COLLARD / Staff
Equipment used in compressed natural gas at Greer CPW. / PATRICK COLLARD/Staff
The white, oversized work truck pulled into the refueling station and swung around to face the gas pump.
Hugh Andrews hopped out, popped open his truck�s hood and inserted the pump nozzle into a receptor underneath it.
Andrews pressed the trigger, and natural gas began to fill three empty tanks strapped down in his truck bed.
Andrews, of Inman, is among a small but growing number of drivers who have rejected the instability of gasoline prices in favor of compressed natural gas.
Andrews made the switch two years ago. He drove to Utah, where a friend helped him install a conversion kit in his diesel truck.
He did it because natural gas is produced in America and because it doesn�t produce greenhouse gases like gasoline or diesel.
Mostly, he did it because compressed natural gas is cheaper.
�I save about $100 a month running CNG,� instead of just diesel, Andrews said.
Andrews made a deliberate choice to switch, one that he knew would be less convenient for many folks because natural gas refueling stations are a rare sight in South Carolina.
As natural gas has increased in abundance and lowered costs due to industry advances like hydraulic fracturing that have made the resource easier to extract from the earth, more businesses, utilities and individuals are looking to capitalize on the money-saving alternative.
But the energy source that many use to heat their homes is just starting to gain traction as a vehicle fuel source across the nation. In many ways, South Carolina lags behind other states that have embraced natural gas as a transportation alternative.
That could change if industry and government would collaborate to build more filling stations and convert fleets of vehicles to use the alternative fuel, said Phillip Riddle, president and CEO of the M21 Group, which consults with local industries to cut energy costs.
The biggest immediate beneficiaries are fleet operators and heavy-duty vehicles like sanitation trucks, delivery trucks and tractor trailers.
�The ideal candidate is a vehicle that uses a lot of fuel, that drives a lot of miles, that goes nowhere,� Riddle said. �That�s the definition of a sanitation truck or a route-type delivery situation.�
At issue is whether natural gas would ever become widely accepted as a transportation fuel, what roles government, utilities and the private sector would play in making it available and whether natural gas will become viable for passenger vehicles as it competes with other alternatives for a small share of the clean energy vehicle market.
Cost versus convenience
The pump clicked on and hummed as CNG filled Andrews� tanks at the Greer Commission of Public Works. Behind him, Greer CPW�s gas operations director Rob Rhodes waited to fill his truck.
The price is enticing. This week, it cost $1.70 for what is termed a gas gallon equivalent at Greer CPW, while gas prices hover around $3 per gallon in Greenville.
But the drawback for most drivers here and across the country is a lack of infrastructure.
Right now, there are five natural gas fueling stations in South Carolina, according to America�s Natural Gas Alliance. Two of those are located in the Greenville area. Piedmont Natural Gas opened a station on Woodruff Industrial Lane three years ago. Greer CPW opened its CNG station in April.
There are roughly 1,000 compressed natural gas stations nationwide, according to ANGA.
Retailers haven�t bought into the CNG market yet, either nationwide or locally, so most stations are run by natural gas providers, said Dave Hurst, natural gas vehicles principal research analyst at Navigant Research, a transportation market research company.
Greer CPW has had inquiries from retailers about how its station operates, but none have shown interest yet, said Rhodes.
Greer CPW, which has prepped its new station to install a canopy and is prepared to add a second fill pump when needed, would be open to a retailer taking over operations, Rhodes said.
The Upstate is ready for CNG to take off, Rhodes said.
Whether it does remains to be seen.
Fleets first
Riddle has invited Upstate business, academic and government leaders to a symposium, which will be held today at the BMW Zentrum in Greer, in an attempt to educate and encourage collaboration on alternative fuels.
Speakers at the symposium include a sanitation operator, fleet manager, research professor, entrepreneur and former U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis, who is now executive director of the Energy and Enterprise Initiative based at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.
For those interested in CNG, it�s a chicken-or-egg scenario, he said. Who�s going to invest first?
�The most expedient way is for good business minds to get together and act in a coordinated plan,� Riddle said.
So far in the U.S., the vast majority of natural gas vehicles are for fleets and heavy-duty users, Hurst said.
He doesn�t expect that to change.
Natural gas is still a small part of the overall vehicle market, but it is �probably the fastest-growing segment,� Hurst said.
In 2013, Hurst projects, 2.89 million heavy-duty natural gas vehicles will be sold in the U.S. In recent years, those numbers have swung between 2.5 million to 3.5 million, but with the economy in a rebound, the market is in an upswing because companies delayed purchases for several years and are playing catch-up, he said.
The heavy duty natural gas market will continue to expand because fleet managers understand they can recover the additional costs of purchasing a natural gas vehicle quickly, Hurst said.
It costs 10 to 20 percent more to purchase a vehicle that�s been converted to use natural gas, depending on the type of vehicle, he said.
For a fleet of vehicles, those costs can be recovered quickly with the low cost of CNG, he said.
�They recognize that over the first three years they�re going to pay back their incremental costs, and if they keep the vehicle for only six years, they�ve gotten three years where they�re actually making money on it versus a gas or diesel vehicle,� Hurst said.
Large and small operators are making the switch. Waste Management has converted 2,000 of its 18,000-vehicle fleet of sanitation trucks to natural gas. AT&T has converted more than 5,000 of its service trucks to alternative fuels and plans to convert 15,000 by 2018.
Both companies are National Clean Fleets partners with the U.S. Department of Energy.
On a smaller scale, Greenville County uses propane in its police cars, Simpsonville runs a sanitation truck with a banner that proclaims �this vehicle runs on natural gas� and other local sanitation companies have begun to convert trucks to natural gas, Riddle said.
Rhodes said he�s been surprised at the number of customers who have shown up in Greer since the CNG single-pump station opened in April. Many of them had installed conversion kits on older model trucks and came out of the woodwork once the station opened, he said.
The number of fill-ups has risen each month since Greer opened its station to the public, he said.
Passenger cars, too?
It�s much harder to strap sizable natural gas tanks in the cargo space of a passenger car than it is in a truck or work van.
That�s a key reason why natural gas hasn�t, and likely won�t, play a larger role when it comes to passenger cars, Hurst said.
�You�re taking a Civic and cutting out half the trunk,� Hurst said. �It gets to be tough to sell.�
There are about 110,000 natural gas-powered light-duty vehicles on the roads today, according to America�s Natural Gas Alliance. That�s less than 0.05 percent of the 254.4 million passenger vehicles in the U.S. counted in a 2007 Department of Transportation survey.
This year, Hurst anticipates 18,466 natural gas vehicle sales in passenger and light-duty trucks.
Natural gas has been surpassed by hybrids and electric vehicles, and now electric-vehicle charging stations have also surpassed CNG stations, he said.
Honda sells a Civic CNG model and Chevy has announced a Cruze CNG-and-gas bi-fuel model. Ford recently started to sell an F-150 CNG model and expects to sell 15,000 of them this year.
So far, conversion kits are a much more popular way to turn a gasoline vehicle into a CNG vehicle. A company in North Carolina performed conversions on eight Greer CPW vehicles at a cost of $8,000 to $10,000 per vehicle, Rhodes said.
Andrews said he spent about $4,500 to turn his diesel truck into a bi-fuel CNG truck two years ago.
It�s significantly cheaper to buy an electric or hybrid car than it is to buy a CNG model, and it�s harder for an individual to reach the return-on-investment threshold, Hurst said.
There�s not likely to be a single winner in the battle for market share between clean energy options, he said.
It will vary by geography and the options � like the presence of refueling stations � that are available in each market, he said.
One boon for CNG would be whether companies could successfully build a cheaper refueling kit so customers could fill up using natural gas lines that already run to many houses, he said. Right now, the cheapest home-based refueling kits cost about $4,000, he said.
Baby steps
In California, drivers of natural gas vehicles can use HOV lanes on interstates. In Oklahoma, residents can get a tax credit for half the cost of a CNG conversion. In Utah, residents can get a $605 tax credit on purchase of a CNG vehicle.
South Carolina is still in the �infancy� stage of its natural gas development, and whether the state offers incentives or private enterprise makes the leap to CNG is still up in the air, Riddle said. He�s not propagating one or the other, he said. Speakers at the symposium today will discuss both a government hands-off and a hands-on approach to building coordination for alternative fuels in the state, he said.
With major interstates that carry long-haul trucks through town and countless fleets of vehicles like beverage venders, trash collectors and delivery trucks, the state is poised to move into the first phase of CNG expansion by adding more users and stations to create a true network, he said.
�Greenville, the Upstate and South Carolina, in that order, is perfectly positioned, geographically and economically, to be in the forefront of this subject in the Southeast,� Riddle said.

Here are the facts we know about MP.
-She lives in a van by the river

Exhibit 1: Amish love canoes
Exhibit 2:
Amish van by the river has no MP
Woooo-hooooo I am vindicated!!
I've got your restraining order right here. [grabs crotch] Restrain this!
My logic is beyond reproach.
What else makes delicious chicken pot pie?
Fact #3: I don't like cleaning up horse dung

It's 2 to 1, you're outvoted. Or voted out if you prefer.
I was watching that reality show on the nat geo channel called Amish: Out of Order, which is about Amish who have left the community to join the world of the English.
And I got to thinking... hmmm... could it be, MP is a fallen Amish, out living among the English?
Unlike the members of the main church who do not believe in travelling, bathing, or Justin Bieber, the Pumpkinites have adopted a nomadic lifestyle and prefer to live in vans and recreational vehicles due to persecution by Gourdite death squads, who are given a dispensation to leave the main commune in order to hunt down heretics. They can often be found close to bodies of water as they have adopted bathing and have done well to blend in well with regular campers and weekenders. This serves to camouflage themselves but can be set apart by their religious hatred of canoes which are a powerful symbol in the Gourdite faith.
If you are out camping and someone declines to get in a canoe with you, there is a good chance that you have met a Pumpkinite.
And we have all seen how much MP loves bubble baths.

Automated Public Toilets are high-tech self cleaning public restrooms. They require a service contract but for the most part are unattended. Unlike portable sanitation units (PSU) or 'porta potties', these unit are fixed location and require electrical, water and sewer connection. While more expensive then a PSU, they provide clean seats, floors and actually look nice.

That is a rough comparison of what the real deal is. So the question is do you really want to move too a more socialist nation where the tax burden on the middle class is going to go up.

The firm is upbeat about the company's credit division and operating model, and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

Hehe, I might have to have some help for a 45 minute music video.... LOL
Okay, but this is something many of us could only dream about in the 1970s after TOS was cancelled the second time at the same time man first landed on the moon.
But with the equipment you've got now, one part of it is a lot easier, and you've got a lot more existing footage of Voyager than there ever was of TOS. What's left is some impressionists to do the voiceovers, not to mention a script that doesn't require any new guest stars and pretty much conceived with knowledge of what footage you've got to work with. At least it's not an expensive thing like New Voyages. In the 1970s it couldn't have been done without permission from Paramount and probably cooperation.
If you need help, I'm sure there are plenty of volunteers on this forum!

Stacked has a sweet resource list of young adult books featuring black girls. "All descriptions are from WorldCat, and I'm absolutely eager to hear more titles. All are YA books featuring black girls front and center and they include fiction and some non-fiction. A couple of these titles also fall into that crossover category, so while they may technically be "adult" reads, they have great appeal to teens. Several of these authors have written more than one title featuring a black girl at the center, so it's worth checking their other titles, too. Many of these are also on-going series titles. I've limited to one per author."

BLITZ! Running rebels: Bobcats gain only 181 offensive yards, 42-7
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Central football team accomplished two of its main goals Friday against Midland Lee.
The Bobcats' offense cut down on turnovers, and the defense didn't get burned by the big play.
It sure was hard to tell by the final score, though.
Despite Central's improvement in those two key areas, the Lee Rebels dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball as they rolled to a 42-7 win at San Angelo Stadium.
Lee used its massive offensive line, which features a pair of 350-pounders, to grind Central down with its district-leading rushing attack for 314 yards.
On defense, the Rebels held Central to only six first downs and 181 yards of offense (85 of which came on a Logan O'Brien run in the final minutes).
The Bobcats committed only one turnover after giving the ball away six times last week, but it didn't matter as they struggled to move the ball virtually all night.
"They stuffed us up front. I mean that's the first team that's really done that to us," Central head coach Brent Davis said in explaining his team's offensive troubles. "We just didn't move them very good. We've got some kids playing out of position because of illness and injuries and stuff like that. No excuse. They're a lot better football team than we are.
"We've got to get regrouped and get after these next three. We've got a chance in these next three."
Lee remained in the thick of the playoff chase, improving to 4-3 overall and 4-2 in District 2-5A, while Central remained winless with its 20th straight loss.
Lee scored on its opening drive to take a quick 7-0 lead, but it appeared Central might answer right back after Darius Long took a reverse deep into Rebels territory.
A holding call brought the run back, however, and Central was forced into a punt, which was blocked by Lee's Jonathan Smith-Aguilar, who later intercepted a pass.
The Rebels scored nine plays later to make it 14-0.
After a Central three-and-out, the Rebels took five plays to score again to make it 21-0, and the Bobcats suddenly were on their way to another loss.
Central ended the first half with only two first down and 32 yards of offense as Lee wrecked one play after another with its defensive line, led by 365-pound Diantrel Brown.
"All we've got to do is get our blocking right ... and then just hit it through that hole," Central running back Blake Thompson said. "And we've just got to stay positive. We're gonna to get it going."
Thompson, a transfer from Monahans who had seen only limited action in his first two varsity games, showed flashes of potential Friday.
He had some nice kickoff returns, and he had six carries for 36 yards as his role in the offense continues to expand.
Thompson was the bright spot for Central's offense until O'Brien broke free for a 85-yard scramble on the Bobcats' final drive.
O'Brien's run, which saw a great cutback across the field, put Central at the 4-yard line. Whitney Darby punched it in two plays later from the 2 for his first Central touchdown.
It was far too late, though. Lee already had padded 21 more points on to its lead, highlighted by a pair of 25-yard touchdown runs by backup quarterback Adrian Horton and a 4-yard touchdown run on fourth down by Austin Jumper.
"That's the best offensive line in the district. It really is," Davis said. "They're big and aggressive. We didn't play tremendously bad on defense. It's just those guys are pretty dang good. The center and the two guards are around 300 pounds, and when they lock on you ... We're not that big. That's just the way it is."
The Bobcats travel next week to Lubbock High, a team with only one win that is coming off a 42-12 loss to Odessa Permian.
It represents one of three opportunities Central has left to break its long losing streak.
"I think we've got a chance, I really do," Davis said. "That's what I told our kids. We're going to end this streak, and we're going to do it this year. We're not going to say, 'We'll get it next year,' or something. We're going to do it.
"We've got three chances to do it against teams that I feel we're as good as. I think we match up with them. I think we can play with these next three better than the first seven, and we're going to get it done."
Thompson also believes the Bobcats will end the streak before this season is over.
"We're going to get a win," Thompson said. "And then we're going to come back really strong next year, so be ready for that."

I found out May 17th. My period was only a week late, but my fiancé kept insisting I was and should take a test. Even ppl at work were telling me I was when I ate a fish sandwich with peanut butter on it!! Lol my first test was SO faint I remember calling my fiancé and making him bring 3 more home just to be sure. Even then I stared at it for a good 20 minutes lol. How did you ladies find out???
When did you all find out!?
J & K since 2011, Baby Boy 1.23.14
BFing, Cosleeping, BWing, Working Mom
(and not an asshole about it)
I found out May 3rd, stopped taking birth control March 18th and had not got a period after stopping. I tested just out of curiosity(wasn't sure if my body was taking longer to "reset" itself after coming off BC) and suprisingly it came right up as positive!! Then I took another test, that was also positive. Called SO at work and told him, he was shocked but happy. Can't believe how far we have all come!!
I want to say it was may 11th. I was only a day or so late but thought i'd take a test just to see because the wknd was starting and I didn't want to drink if i was. (we were trying so it was a big possibility) my usual dollar store test was positive and I was so excited! but after a previous miscarriage i felt hesitant in sharing with everyone like i wanted. but in time, all knew and the excitement remans. : )
How fun to read all of these!
I 'knew' I was pregnant, had that feeling. I just wanted to wait for the day my period should have started to take the test. I read that would give the best results toghether with doing it in the morning. Then I woke up at 2:30am and needed to go...thinking dang, if I take the test in the morning, my urine wouldn't be concentrated enough for the test to pick up the pregnancy hormone; so why not take it now?!! So I POAS (the target ones) right then and there and within seconds I got a +! YAY! Woke up DH (usually he's not amused when I wake him, but he was very happy and excited!), happy times!!
We had previously suffered a miscarriage before this pregnany. We tried for another 4 cycles after that with no success. After that we decided to wait awhile and give it a rest. Then we fell pregnant 2 months later!!! We were pretty shocked. But very excited and hopeful. :-) we waited until week 13 to announce it. Not our parents knew until then. I cant believe its almost over! And its a boy, after 2 girls! Just perfect in every way....
With my soul mate since <3 2008 <3

Howdy everyone,
I finished wiring this all up last night and well, I didn't burn the house down! I just need to get the legs, put some curtains around the sides and start exposing.
I'll post some pictures once it's all said and done.
Thanks for everyone's help; I needed it, and I'm pretty pleased with the result so far.

New Balance
New Balance started out in 1906 in Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA), when William J. Riley began manufacturing insoles and orthopaedic shoes. 1961 saw the launch of the revolutionary Trackster, the first running shoe in the world to be available in different widths In 1972, Jim Davis, then director and sole owner, bought New Balance on the day of the Boston Marathon. He is committed to keeping the brand values of performance and quality alive. The brand's absolute priority is its product: the shoes are manufactured in England with an American quality guarantee, each range offers several widths per size and the company invests hugely in research and development. The brand's marketing policy reflects this commitment to the product by refusing to use celebrity athletes in its advertisements — after all, it's the products that make the brand, not the stars who represent it. This lucrative strategy has propelled the brand to fourth place within the global athletic footwear market today.

Tuesday's trading in Opko Health, Inc. (OPK) gives options traders an opportunity for a 14.94% return.
By selling the Sep. '15 $13.00 call and buying the Jan. '16 call at the $8.00 level for a net debit of $4.35, traders will book a profit as long as the stock closes above $12.35.
A more expensive, but less risky, play would be a covered call Sep. '15 at the $13.00 level. This trade has a 7.17% (16.06% annualized, for comparison purposes only) and offers 15.06% downside protection.

Here is a pic of my 62 JC Higgins Flightliner. It started out pretty stock. I have changed out the bars (actually change them about every week depending on the ride). This week was the sewer ride so I needed to be able to get down real low. I have also added a 4 speed hub and some wide tires. Yes is took some doing to true them up so they would not rub, and yes it weights about 6000 pounds...
Next I plan to get all of the lights working with some LEDs and decrease the crack tooth count for a more relaxed ride.
We ride every Sunday. Leave around 4 PM from Recycled bike shop on 26th and South Street, Lincoln, NE. Last week we rode the sewers, drank some beer, ate some dogs, and had a nice backyard trash can fire.
