Minneapolis ad agency Campbell Mithun will hire its summer Lucky 13 interns via an online application soliciting brand-engagement ideas for taking the iconic Twinkies brand into the future. Applicants must submit an idea and "Dear new owners of Twinkies" statement; Twinkies is scheduled to be auctioned due to bankruptcy to a new owner on March 13.
Twinkies and Campbell Mithun go way back: Campbell Mithun originated the "Where's the cream filling?" tagline when Twinkies was a client nearly 20 years ago. The "Dear new Twinkies owners…" application occurs during Campbell Mithun's 80th anniversary year (and Twinkies were born in the '30s too).
Twinkies' parent company, Hostess Brands Inc., recently declared bankruptcy and received approval from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain to auction off assets including the Twinkies brand. (Flowers Foods announced yesterday that it was declared highest bidder for Wonder and other bread brands.) The Twinkies auction is scheduled for March 13; bids will likely be approved at a March 19th sale hearing.
"So many factors aligned to bring Twinkies into our application process," said Debbie Fischer, director of human resources at Campbell Mithun, which used a Twitter-based application for hiring interns the past two years. "We wanted our process to go beyond Twitter, this marketing case study is unfolding in real time, and the new Twinkies owner will likely be named at a March 13th auction – we take the number 13 very seriously around here."
Campbell Mithun will share publicly the Twinkies recommendations submitted by the thirteen finalists selected to interview for the final 2013 Lucky 13 internship positions.
Details about the application can be found at www.lucky13internship.com and via #L13 on Twitter.
The application process
The Lucky 13 Internship application process opens March 1 on www.lucky13internship.com. Applicants must be a college student with a graduation date between fall 2012 and summer 2014. Deadline is 11:59 pm (CDT) on March 29.
In 2013, interns will be hired in the following discipline areas – account leadership, media strategy and media negotiations. Creative interns will be provided via the agency's partnership with Miami Ad School, which selects students to place on site at Campbell Mithun quarterly.
To apply, applicants submit the following via online application:
- URL address for their Twinkies recommendation (presented via blog, YouTube, SlideShare, etc. – wherever it lives on the Internet)
- A "Dear new owners of Twinkies" statement
- A "Dear Campbell Mithun, hire me because…" note
- Resume
Finalists will be invited to the agency for in-person interviews or interviewed via Skype (for out-of-market applicants), and intern selections will be announced in April 2013 – Campbell Mithun's 80th anniversary.
About Campbell Mithun's Lucky 13 Internship
Some believe that 13 is an unlucky number. But as Ray Mithun, co-founder of Campbell Mithun once said, "If thirteen is unlucky for some people, it must be lucky for someone else." The Lucky 13 internship program seeks those individuals who can be someone else — those who have the courage to go against the grain and to believe in original ideas and creative solutions. The interns do real work for real clients, alongside real professionals, earning a real chance to start their careers as full-time members of the advertising community.Tags: Advertising Internships, Campbell Mithun, creative job application, Hostess, Hostess Brands bankruptcy, Lucky 13, Twinkies, Wonder bread

That torture scene in last week's episode of "Scandal?" Yeah, it didn't sit well with the Parents Television Council.
The watchdog group is criticizing ABC for not giving the Jan. 10 episode the proper rating. In the episode, Huck (Guillermo Diaz) is arrested under the Patriot Act and accused of attempting to assassinate President Grant (Tony Goldwyn) — a crime for which he is not guilty. Huck is water boarded and beaten nearly to death in an attempt to get a confession out of him.
"The brutal nature of that scene, which was rated as appropriate for a 14-year-old child, refutes statements made by an industry claiming to be responsible and concerned about societal violence," the PTC said in a statement Monday.
The episode of the political drama from creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes had a content advisory at the beginning of the broadcast. But calling the three-minute scene "intense, explicit and bloodied," the heads-up wasn't enough for the advocacy group.
"It is sickening just how quickly the entertainment industry was able to move past the tragedy of Newtown and get back to business as usual," said PTC president Tim Winter.

How-To: Hood latch release cable replacement
I had the "opportunity" to get to do this. It was not much fun. I am writing this up to save someone down the road a little time. I found the easiest way was to partially remove the driver side fender.
A quick note:
This assumes you have already managed to get your hood open.
This also assumes you have a new cable ready to go. If not read through the instructions to find out how to remove one from a salvage vehicle.
I do not believe there is any difference in generations 1 and 2 or make/model of LH vehicle.
STEP ONE: Open hood and place a prop rod on the driver side. (I used a short pipe)
STEP TWO: Remove the hood strut from the driver side. (use pliers for the lower and a flat-blade screwdriver pop the cap off)
STEP THREE: Remove the three 13mm hex head bolts on the inner lip of the fender.
Remove the 'backward facing' 10mm bolt in the door jam *there is a inverse torx bit that will make this much easier if you have one available. I used a ratcheting 10mm flex wrench (yes, it took a few minutes). Remove the two 10mm bolts on the lower side of the fender (one is hidden in the plastic inner liner).
STEP FOUR: Remove the cable from the latch mechanism on the front of the car.
STEP FIVE: Locate the grommet and cable running through the firewall. * I cut the cable and grommet back a ways to make installation of the new cable easier. You may not want to do this out of fear of water leaks.
STEP SIX: Remove the following: Interior fuse panel cover, the panel below steering column, the lower door trim piece, the kick-panel that houses the hood release.
STEP SEVEN: Remove the two 8mm screws holding the release in place.
STEP EIGHT: pull firmly to remove the cable completely from the vehicle.
The cable is much harder to get back through the grommet than it is pulling it out. There is not much room for hands and is nearly impossible to see. I removed the screws holding the fuse panel to allow for better vision. I attempted to use a 'fish-tape' to pull cable through from the outside but both attempts were unsuccessful due to the small diameter of the cable. With some patience you can get the new cable snaked through the maze and into the grommet. Remember that the cable must pass under the wire harness on the lower kick panel.

This is according to leaders at the Royal College of Nursing, who made the comments at its annual conference in Liverpool this weekend.
The RCN said that ministers "had missed an opportunity" to improve patient care after the Stafford Hospital scandal public inquiry in February, criticising its new plans to make trainee nurses to work for a year as healthcare assistants.
This plan by the government can be read as an implicit attack on nursing culture, as ministers have previously said that it believes not all nurses are as compassionate at they are required to be.
To coincide with the annual conference, the RCN has also published a new survey among its members, which found almost 90% of the 8,000 respondents said staffing levels were not always adequate to provide safe patient care, with almost a third saying they were "rarely" or "never safe".
"Under-staffing is the single biggest challenge facing the NHS today," said RCN chief executive and general secretary, Dr Peter Carter. "The introduction of mandatory safe staffing levels, enshrined in law, is now a matter of extreme urgency."
In another survey of 2,086 ward sisters and community team leaders, three out of four said staffing levels dropped to unsafe levels at least once a month. More than a third reported staffing levels were unsafe on a weekly basis, while almost one in ten said staff numbers fell to an unsafe level on every single shift.
Despite these concerns, nearly half said they were unable to authorise additional staffing when necessary, and of those who were able to initially authorise extra staff, many reported that even then, their requests were ultimately turned down.

The storyline plays into the building McMahons vs. Rhodes feud, which certainly appears to be building towards something as both Dusty and Cody's fiance, who was once under a developmental deal while working as Eden Stiles, have been namedropped on Raw over the last several weeks.
Also of note, Kassius Ohno (the former Chris Hero) worked his first taping in several months.

text: 13 February 2012 archive See all show photos HERE'S a strange anecdote from fashion shows that you may not know. When the lights finally dim, signalling that the show is starting, a photographer from the pit always bellows out a reminder for ladies to uncross their legs and pull in their bags - so as not to be in frame for the runway shots. Like leggy models, and gravity-defying stilettos, one becomes immune to this quaint tradition. Point being that the photographers, like everyone else, have a job to do - and they aren't pleased when something impedes them. So today, when Phillip Lim's autumn/winter 2012-13 show included atmospheric smoke - a little too much - the photographers started letting their displeasure be known, to the amusement and chagrin of onlookers. But on to the clothes. Despite the minor technical difficulty, the real drama was on the catwalk. Lim restrained his penchant for pleasing, subdued colours and challenged himself with a graphic collection in mostly black and white, with some added neutral tones and some tonal fireworks as a conclusion. Fans of his will be pleased that he held on to his beautifully tailored suiting - neither anaemic nor blowsy - but the perfect middle ground between nonchalant and professional. The tapered trousers and soft blazers remained. Lim started with the idea of comic books (a theme he explored, with quite different results, during pre-fall), which yielded a powerful duality by superimposing one shape onto another, and creating a slimming, curvaceous tromp l'oeil silhouette, which many women are sure to appreciate. This black and white battle also played out cleverly as a magnified vision of the well-worn houndstooth pattern, which was a charming effect on an oversized sweater. Lim did masterfully build on this bare bones concept of black and white, introducing chunky heather knits and tweedy greys. More texture was developed through cable detailing on a spliced sweater, a filmy transparent panel edging a skit or as trousers, and a sheeny damask pant and skirt in navy. Towards the end, Lim relented and welcomed colours, like dazzling blues on a geometrical poncho, or a deep green coat - before pops of tangerine served as a vibrant finale. Lim stepped out to bow, and the photographers clicked away with no more complaints of the dramatic, foggy environs. SEE THE 3.1 PHILLIP LIM SHOW ARCHIVE Max Berlinger Continue reading Back to top

Communication Breakdown: Street Whispers
TheStreet) -- Don't keep your investors guessing. It seems simple enough, but that rule of thumb appears to have been lost on a pair of companies in the financial technology sector. Though the most recent earnings results from FactSet Research (FDS - Get Report) and Advent Software (ADVS) were in line with analyst expectations, shares of both companies dropped sharply after management revised guidance lower."Both buyside and sellside are getting cautious about spending and if they can postpone a major product or an upgrade they probably will in this environment," says Sandler O'Neill analyst Chris Donat. FactSet's stock price fell 12.3% June 12 after it released strong third quarter results back in June, but guided lower on revenues. Advent shares plunged 16% on July 30 when it warned of cautious spending habits by clients, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, even though its latest results matched consensus. Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR - Get Report) however, avoided this fate. The provider of proxy materials and securities processing solutions exceeded consensus but reduced its guidance for fiscal year 2013 to $1.70 from $1.80. Broadridge was spared the share price plunge, however, since it did a better job of telegraphing the bad news to the market, Donat says. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

PENDLETON — The Wildhorse Foundation, a community benefit fund established by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation to support organizations in Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington, has announced the awards for the fourth quarter of 2013.
A total of $211,941 was awarded to 32 recipients, bringing the total for 2013 to $848,997.
More than 1,300 local and regional nonprofits have benefited from the funds totaling more than $7.5 million that the foundation has distributed in their giving area since its inception in 2001.
CTUIR is committed to honoring the tribal traditions of sharing and giving back to the communities in which they live and work.
The formation of Wildhorse Foundation in 2001 was for the purpose of formalizing the charitable giving on behalf of Wildhorse Resort & Casino and CTUIR.
The final quarter's largest grant was given to the Pendleton Public Library. The library received $16,500 to purchase at ScanPro 2000 microfilm reader/printer to replace the current reader/printer.
The microfilm reader will allow residents and visitors to access information, which is an important mission for the library.
According to the grant application, a wealth of local history is stored on microfilm at the library.
The newer machine will allow better copy results, give users the ability to digitally download to a storage device and allow the library to create digital databases that would be easily searched by keywords.
Other organizations funded in the fourth quarter for 2013 are:
• Alpenfest, operating support for Alpenfest, Joseph, $2,000.

Joe's on Weed Street, Chicago, IL
21 years and over
As far as where I'm at with my new music and my new label, Red Bow, this is more than a new chapter. It's a new book. My new single "Sunny And 75" is getting as great a reception as anything I've ever done, and the album it comes from is something I might have hoped I could do at other points in my career, but have been held back from. And I'll be the first to say that the holding back has mostly been me. What strikes me this time is how much freedom I've felt in this process, the depth I have in my relationships – personal and professional, it really is a family thing. And, to be honest, just how much fun I'm having. Freedom, family and fun ... there's your sound bite.

Detailed Master Plan of Baku Centre to be approved before end of January
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The State Committee for Construction & Architecture of Azerbaijan is finalizing making of a detailed Master Plan of Baku Centre Development.
Committee's deputy chairman Dovlethan Dovlethanov says that before the end of January the Baku Centre Plan will be endorsed by the State Committee and submitted to the Baku City Executive Power for execution.
The Plan covers an area of approximately 1,550 hectares - from the shopping center Amay to the State Flag Square on horizontal, and vertically - from Baku Boulevard (Seaside Park) to Bakikhanov Street. The remainder of the capital is not subject to detailed planning, as the Greater Baku Regional Development Plan is under preparation.
Earlier the head of the International Relations & Information Department of the State Urban Planning & Architecture Committee of Azerbaijan, Jahangir Hojayev, informed that master plans on separate zones will be prepared on the basis of the Greater Baku Regional Development Plan having conceptual character.
"Besides zoning territories there will be drafts of detailed planning to define the sites to be built. The Master Plan of Baku Centre Development covering 1,550 hectares aims to preserve the formed historical ensemble and architectural environment of the central part of Baku. Precisely for this reason it was worked out prior to the Greater Baku Regional Development Plan on the basis of outdated General Development Plan of Baku of 1984," Hojayev said.
At that, he supposes that building and renovation in Baku should not be carried out at the state expense.
"It is necessary to attract private investors and developers to such kind of projects on the basis of established plans," he added.

They all live in the family estate, situated on the edge of a forest and not too far from one of the major cities. Due to the busy work schedule of his parents Rowan grew up with his nanny, who raised him to the kind teen he is today. Rowan never got much attention from his parents so to make them proud and to get their attention he focused all his energy on his studies, even though he always dreamed of going on his own Pokémon journey.

At the moment their eyes crossed Rowan felt a connection with the Roggenrola and desided he just HAD to have her. And thus he went in to meet the little Rock type. As Rowan tried to contact her she acted a little shy at first, probably due to the whole situation she found herself in. But it turned out that Rowan was right about the connection he felt when their eyes first met as he and the Mantle Pokémon bonded quickly.
Lalu has a laid back and relaxed personality allowing her to make friends easily. She is very impulsive and basically just does what she wants, which often causes trouble, and she likes adventure and doesn't scare away from a risky situation. Though Lalu is a girl, she really is a one-of-the-guys type of girl. When it comes to boys she has a habit of teasing them, especially if they are close friends. Part of all this is a facade however, a mask Lalu puts up to prevent any memories of her past to come back to haunt her. A past in which she as a child saw her family slaughtered by hunters for their cores and got separated from her mother when she was sold by the very same people that killed her family.

Biography: Rowan got Haykhong from the Adoption Centre, the same one where he got his Roggenrola, after he decided to go for a walk from the FB Bar. Though without the intend to do so, something directed him towards the Centre and once there the Slugma now known as Haykhong decided that Rowan was worthy to be his trainer. And so it happened. Rowan eventually found out that the Slugma belonged to a woman called Marion for whom the Slugma fulfilled a quest to obtain a stone with mystical fire powers. A feat Haykhong himself is quite of, being who he is.
Haykhong is a nobleman and war veteran, having fought in the civil war against the Rock-Rebels on Cortoza. He is more than pleased to tell everyone who wants to hear about his heroic stories and the ingenious strategies he came up with during the war. This war also earned him his title of 'Sir' which he wants everyone to refer to him with this title. Haykhong is also a man of class and due to this he thinks that everyone who is not of noble descend is below him, against people and Pokémon who deems below he can be rather denigrating. Others often see him as a self-centered, arrogant prick with a huge sense of superiority, and that is exactly the truth and Haykhong is all fine with that as those who think that are inferior anyway. On the other hand, to people who Haykhong deems to be of his own level or, in very rare cases, above him, he his extremely polite, gentlemanly and respectful.

Biography: Rowan obtained his Steelix in a trade with Kairne, his single offer being enough to outbid everyone else. In a swift business-like transaction the deal was made and Behemoth is now in Rowan's possession.
Behemoth is an aggressive Pokémon, if he does not sleep or worse, is disturbed, he will attack almost anything and anyone that moves. And if another Pokémon even gives the slightest of (non-)reasons for Behemoth to attack, he more than happily does. This includes other Pokémon on his own team too, most specifically Lalu as she often tries to 'play' with him. Even attacking his own trainer is not a bridge too far if Behemoth has no interest in doing what Rowan wants, which is the case in anything that does not involve fighting. Behemoth's respect can be earned however, but it will come at the cost of a long and often painful battle. Succeed in this battle however, either by the near impossible win or a close loss, and his respect is yours.

Biography: Rowan got his Magikarp is a magical trade with the Holy Arc_Angel of Fizzytopia. Ever since the encounter Rowan dedicated a shrine inside his base, right next to Magikarp's aquarium, to the Arc_Angel as Magikarp was one of Rowan's biggest wants for a Pokémon.
After being mocked by Rowan's Pokédex on the very first day Leviathan and Rowan met the then Magikarp has had his mind set on evolving. Becoming stronger and more powerful than anyone could ever imagine was his sole goal in life. He even accepted help from a shady voice with an even shadier deal to reach this goal. It was not till Leviathan met the Weedle Hermione that he found another way. So with the advice of Hermione and the help of the Ivysaur Ponoma he fought a hard but losing battle that nearly took his life. It was not till he accepted his faith as Magikarp that he finally evolved into Gyarados. Now that he has the power he has to work to keep control of his determined but friendly self, and not let all this power corrupt him.

Biography: Magnemite is yet another Pokémon Rowan picked up from the Adoption Centre, but with good reason. Rowan didn't mean to adopt any Pokémon when he walked past the building as he was only on his way home. But with the Magnemite showing off his Magnet Pull ability, Rowan just had to get it as a means to keep Behemoth at bay should the Steelix get out of control again.
Magnemite the odd one of the group. He likes to troll, jest and annoy people and Pokémon alike using his two greatest abilities, his Magnet Pull ability and his ability to make the worst puns ever. Annoying as he may be at times, Magnemite never really means any harm, he just wants some fun whether the victim is willing or not.

Biography: Rowan received his Fae as a Wurmple in a trade with CyberBlastoise. His only, rather low bid was the only one and so was the Pokémon. Though Fae herself doesn't seem to mind any of this, she's happy to have a trainer that loves her.
Fae is a very kind and gentle Pokémon often putting the wishes of others in front of her own. This makes her susceptible to less honest people and Pokémon as it is easy to abuse her kindness. Fae also has a special interest in everything that has something to do beauty and dreams of one day becoming a beautiful Beautifly. Besides these things she likes and dreams of, Fae also has fears. Her biggest fear are ghosts and Ghost-type Pokémon. When she was still inside her Egg, just before she hatched, Fae had a most terrible nightmare in which Ghosts played a massive part and ever since she is scared of the type. But dealing with this phobia triggered her evolutions as well as helping her get some unexpected friends.

Biography: Rowan traded Corvus for two Candies from Levin. The Honchkrow was looking to improve his value and has found his place to do so with the Virote's, already having doubled his value just by arriving there.
Corvus is a Pokémon of many names, so many in fact that his real name is hardly ever used. Rumors go he doesn't even have a name and The Big Boss is happy to keep things that way. His goal is to get the most for himself. Literally. He will take everything for himself if he has the chance, but the Boss knows he needs to keep Rowan on his good side or his cover might be blown. As such he considers Rowan the only one to be somewhat on his level given the business skills the young man has shown, though he still sees himself slightly higher in position. The two do work closely together however. Corvus is the go-to man to Rowan whenever something needs to be done quickly. While not always sure how, Rowan knows Corvus gets the job done and time is money in business. The Big Boss however uses the Virote business as a cover for his own scheme, financing the entire Fizzytopia Underworld with all the illegal gold revenues of his secret mining operation.

Biography: Zwart is another Pokémon Rowan is so far unaware of. Corvus set up and completed the deal with his former trainer Levin.
Zwart took over the role Corvus once had on Levin's team, but Levin traded him away to learn to stand on his own legs to chase his dreams. Being part of shadowy schemes is part of Zwart's life and having a dark and sadistic personality he had no problem becoming the Big Boss' henchman and assassin. Toying with others and making them suffer is what he enjoys and the Boss allows him to do just that.

Biography: Rowan got Quad in a trade with Blaze, because of this Roggenrola's unusual structure he was interested in it, made an offer and it got accepted. The unusual thing about Quad is that he is made up out of a different type of rock than others of his kind. Quad is made up of Quartzite, which is also the name his original trainer gave him. This type of rock is special in the sense that it is much harder than the average rock and can last much longer.
This special make up has also had it's effects on Quad himself however. Because he is so hard he thinks he is better than other Rock-types, and especially others of his own kind. This character treat of Quad can make for some interesting interactions, especially with Rowan's other Rock-types.

News 12 at six o'clock, December 8, 2008
Augusta, GA---Call it a sign of the times. The city of Augusta is cutting jobs to save money. The cuts span 4 departments.
We caught up with one group being completely wiped out.
"Doesn't make you feel that good," said Frank Thomas "But it's happening."
Frank Thomas is director of the Human Relations Commission. He learned his department is getting the ax.
"I'm an old guy, so I may go sit on the porch," said Thomas. "But I'm kinda concerned about my folk."
He's concerned about folk like Gloria Ricks who has worked in the department for 10 years.
"It doesn't do any good to cry," said Gloria.
She's one of 20 employees spanning 4 city departments now forced to pack up. The cuts impact 11 correctional officers, one person in the forestry department, 2 people in the law department, and all 6 people at the Human Relations Commission office.
The move is expected to save the city $1 million. Gloria calls their service priceless.
"We provide a means for people to complain about any area that they feel they've been slighted," said Gloria. "It's no longer here."
"It's a shame. I'm sorry," said city administrator Fred Russell. "I'm sorry that they're leaving, but there are tough decisions that we have to make, and that's why we're are here to make them."
Together, Frank and Gloria have spent more than 35 years working in the county. Between the two of them, they'll get 7 months severance pay.
"I'm not complaining," said Frank. "I've been around a long time, and I've done some good."
'Tis the season to be jolly, right?
"Christmas is not the time you want to think about being laid off," said Frank. "It hurts, and I don't like to see it happening, but it's impacting us, and it's not a good feeling."
Those severance packages also include health insurance for up to 3 months.The city administrator says they'll work to place laid off employees in other departments. The HRC will close it's doors at the end of February.

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga.
-- If you've strolled into the Museum of Aviation's Century of Flight Hangar lately, you may have noticed a bird with a new view.
After a three-day aircraft lift exercise April 3 through 5, the SR-71 Blackbird was elevated to new heights to appear as if it were in flight or taking off.
"(April 5) was the culmination of more than two years of work in our effort to elevate the SR-71 here at the museum. What terrific teamwork!" said Ken Emery, Museum of Aviation director. "The sleek 68,000 pound Blackbird looks awesome. The project placed new emphasis on the SR-71, gave us more ground-floor room for events and will allow us to bring a few more birds in from the brutal outside weather." Back in December, machinists and welders from the 116th and 461st Maintenance Squadrons metals technology sections and 573rd Commodities Maintenance Group created three stands to be used for the museum project.
The combined aircraft exercise came to fruition last week to coincide with annual training conducted by members of Robins' Crash Damaged and Disabled Aircraft Recovery team.
The entire project involved about 40 military and civilian representatives from across the base, including the 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Group, 116th and 461st Maintenance Squadrons, and aircraft safety and museum members.
The CDDAR team brought its equipment for the exercise, including air bags which were used to slowly lift the aircraft over a two-day period. Pallets or pieces of lumber were stacked together at the front and rear of the aircraft to get the plane to heights prior to lifting. Air bags were then placed on top of the stacked pallets.
Through the use of a low pressure/high volume compressor, each airbag was pumped with 7 pounds per square inch for the painstaking process of slowly lifting the former long-range, advanced, strategic reconnaissance plane. The air bags in closest contact with the aircraft were at 3.5 psi.
Once the aircraft was lifted above where the stands would slide under, it was slowly lowered back down; bolts were then used to secure everything in place.
"This was an amazing opportunity for the crash recovery team," said Master Sgt. Colby Brusch, 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Group production superintendent. "It was a great opportunity for some training, to get all of our equipment out and see how it all works together. I think it looks pretty awesome."
"This was a unique lift all the way around," he continued. "This type of lift would never happen in a real crash recovery scenario; however, it's a great exercise for us to see exactly what this lift is capable of doing."
Brusch was referring to a 'flat, straight lift,' with all air bags coming up at the same time during a crash recovery. In a fairly common scenario, he added that a damaged aircraft would be assisted through the use of cranes, airbags that would be inflated, and gears lowered before being towed off for later inspection.
"The way we set the bags up is as if the plane had landed with its gear up," said Brusch, pointing to an actual recovery scenario. "If it had landed on its belly, we would've dug trenches underneath and lifted the aircraft to the point where you could lower the gear."
The SR-71, throughout its nearly 24-year career before the Air Force retired its fleet, remained the world's fastest and highest-flying operational aircraft. It set a speed record of 2,193 miles per hour, and reached an absolute altitude record of more than 85,000 feet.
This plane arrived at the museum in 1990 and was placed in the hangar in 1996.

What's the single most important thing for good oral health?
As a simple part of good oral home care, flossing your teeth shouldn't take more than two minutes a day. Flossing helps prevent costly periodontal disease and dental decay by breaking up the bacterial plaque.
Yet many people just don't do it and I've heard all the excuses.
Three years ago, a new patient to my practice sternly announced that he doesn't floss, he never flossed, he wouldn't floss and that if I wanted to retain him as a patient I should not bother encouraging him to floss. Well three years passed and during a periodic exam, we discovered that he had full blown advanced periodontal disease. His question to me was, "What can be done?". I responded: besides flossing?
Fortunately, he is now a believer in the Power of Floss! Using dental floss and our Perio Protect program, he has his periodontal disease under control.
Of course, brushing your teeth is important as well and combining that with proper flossing should keep your pearly whites cavity free and your gums pink and healthy.
However, if you find that despite your conscientious brushing and flossing your gums still bleed, it would be wise to be evaluated by dentist.
If you already suffer from periodontal disease, we have found the Perio Protect system to be an effective and low cost way to control the disease.
For more information on flossing, visit the Oral B website.
I have always told patients, just floss the teeth you want to keep.
May the Floss be with You.
– Dr. Pohl

An Onslow County woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition after a detached trailer slammed into her car head on Friday morning.
Troopers say 35-year-old Linda Whitehurst of Richlands was airlifted to a Wilmington hospital shortly after 7:00 Friday morning. Troopers say while she is in critical condition, she is expected to recover.
Lawmen say Michael Miller was driving his Dodge Ram pickup truck northbound on Cypress Creek Road near South Bryan Road and was hauling a utility trailer. Troopers say the trailer detached, crossed the center line and crashed into Whitehurst, who was driving southbound in her Toyota Corolla.
Miller, a 22 year old from Richlands, was not hurt. He was charged with failure to secure a trailer and for having an unregistered trailer.

Monday, December 27, 2010
A new study has found that nearly one quarter of students who attempt to enlist in the U.S. Army fail its entrance exam.
The results, as expected, are troubling for both educator and military leaders.
The report by The Education Trust revealed 23 percent of recent high school graduates failed to attain the minimum score on the enlistment test for any branch of the military.
The questions often are basic, including this example: "If 2 plus x equals 4, what is the value of x?"
Complicating the situation is that only about 25 percent of people aged 17 to 24 qualify to take the tests. A majority is disqualified because they are physically unfit, have a criminal record or failed to graduate high school.
That means roughly 23 percent of 25 percent qualify to serve in the U.S. military.
Military leaders agree that although the Department of Defense now is meeting recruitment goals, doubt clouds the future, particularly if the economy, and hiring, improves.
"If you can't get the people that you need, there's a potential for a decline in readiness," cautioned Navy Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett.
In addition, the military – like every other aspect of life – has become much more high-tech, which requires recruits with strong fundamentals who can be trained to operate sophisticated equipment.
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Norman R. Seip observed: "I don't care if you're a soldier carrying a backpack or someone sitting in a research laboratory, the things we expect out of our military members require a very, very well educated force." Handing graduation certificates to high school students who cannot perform basic addition or construct a simple sentence is inexcusable. We must do better – for the future of both our students and our country. This report puts no one at ease.

Subject: CSE SR-100 SCSR – Notice of Iinformation. Joint Investigation – CSE Corp SR-100 Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR)
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) have opened a joint investigation concerning a problem that CSE Corp. has identified concerning its SR-100 Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR).
During a routine quality control test using a breathing simulator, CSE discovered that one SCSR delivered less than expected oxygen. Further analysis revealed up to one percent of the units in this lot may have oxygen starter problems. A total of 4071 units shipped from this lot may be affected. NIOSH and MSHA have requested CSE Corp. provide the serial numbers of affected units and the names of operators who purchased them.
Mine workers need to be informed that if a SCSR does not inflate its breathing bag, a miner should immediately don another SCSR. Only if a second SCSR is not available, should a manual start procedure be attempted.
Operators should make backup SCSRs available to all underground workers.

American Home Shield, one of the largest home warranty companies in the nation, has announced the closing of its acquisition of HSA Home Warranty. Company officials announced in early November that a purchase agreement had been signed and were awaiting final regulatory approval to close the deal.
Leaders of both companies believe this new relationship will create important growth and expansion opportunities in the industry, as well as in each brand.
"This is an important development, not only for our two businesses but also for the entire home warranty industry. We are bringing together the power of these two great companies to grow the overall market by increasing awareness about the value that home warranties provide," said Mark Barry, president of American Home Shield, a business unit of The ServiceMaster Company, LLC, one of the world's largest residential and commercial service networks.
"We intend to leverage the power of each of these great brands to accelerate our pace of growth in strategic markets," he said. "Like us, HSA Home Warranty is known for providing reliable, quality service to its customers, and for building strong relationships in the real estate community. This acquisition will allow each brand to build on its strengths, and at the same time, share best practices in a way that will allow us to more effectively reach—and serve— even more homeowners."
Bob Lehmann, president and founder of HSA Home Warranty, will report to Barry and continue to lead the company from its headquarters in Madison, Wisc., where it employs approximately 200 people and serves more than 125,000 customers.
"I'm incredibly proud of the legacy that HSA Home Warranty has built, and am excited about the opportunities that are ahead for our business," said Lehmann. "We're committed to continuing to provide our customers and our real estate clients with the outstanding service and value that they've come to know and expect from the HSA team. There's a lot of synergy between our two companies, and I'm looking forward to working together in a way that will build an even stronger future for both brands."

Exercising and Alzheimer's
By: Kacie Bryant, Special to The News Messenger
Fitness Column
A recent report predicts that one out of every eight people will develop Alzheimer's disease. As frightening as that is, the good news is that there is a lot of research being done and new treatments are on the horizon. For now, there is no cure but studies continually support that physical exercise is effective therapy to prevent Alzheimer's. Studies have suggested that raising your heart rate for at least 30 minutes several times a week can lower your risk of Alzheimer's. Arthur Kramer, a neuroscientist says, this of exercise and memory: "There are improvements in the chemistry of the brain in terms of the molecules that protect the brain, increases in the number of connections between neurons, which allows us to encore new learning and memory, and even the birth of new neurons in one region of the brain that supports memory." In one study of 6,000 women age 65 and older, they found that women who included and exercise program in their lives were less likely to develop the disease. University of Chicago studies showed that mice allowed to stay physically active had 50 to 80 percent less Alzheimer's type plaque in their brains than mice who remained sedentary. For people who have already developed Alzheimer's, a light amount of exercise or walking appears to reduce wandering, aggression and agitation. Especially for those who have a family history of Alzheimer's, and anyone who think they might be in beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease, get out and exercise.

I have a confession to make. My feet sweat. This means that I don't wear shoes without socks unless they are sandals. I made an exception for a pair of Ahnu Karmas and those worked okay until it got really hot outside. Then they started to stink. Plus, my feet got cold.
Next month I will be starting a job where I have to dress more professionally. I'm can only take this so far - no heels for me unless they are my Fluevogs. But I will be wearing more skirts and slacks. I'm thinking of a pair of ballerina flats because I will also likely have more business travel and I know those pack easily.
My question is if any of you SSS Ballerine wearers can comment on how well they work for sweaty feet or how they work with thin socks. If you don't want the world to know you have sweaty feet, PM me. I'll keep your secret.

Two of the most popular requests we receive from our readers here at American Iron Magazine are:
1) I love American Iron Magazine, how do I get my bike featured in it?
2) I read American Iron Magazine cover to cover twice, and then have to wait a week or two before the next issue is published. Can you publish more often?
Our reply to the first question is please send us some great photos of your bike and we will see what we can do.
And our reply to the second most popular request is OK.
Starting in 2013 we will increase the frequency of American Iron Magazine, the world's best selling Harley magazine, from 12 issues a year to 13 issues. That means we will publish a new magazine every four weeks – in print and digital. It's a lot more work for us but we think you are worth it. Don't you?

My 14 month old can't sleep without her dummy. HELP!
My 14 month old goes through the entire day without asking for her dummy. She only uses it during nap times and at night. We give her a bottle and she keeps the dummy in her hand. As soon as the bottle is empty, she pops the dummy in her mouth and goes to sleep. She has 16 teeth already and i'm worried about them becoming crooked. We tried putting her to bed without the dummy, but she realizes after about 2mins of lying there without it and then screams her head off! She also still cries if she wakes during the night and cant find it. We have also tried cutting the tip off, but she throws it to one side and cries inconsolably! she has no other "Blanky" or favourity teddy that she depends on. It's the dummy or nothing! We both work, so pushing through a week of crying as we try to ween her has proven quite tiresome. We are at our wits end!

This may not be what you want to hear, but this is what we did: We gave our first son a little dose of tough love and took it away, then after a few days we gave it back to him for a longer stretch of time, and so forth. At first he would scream his head off and we just HAD to deal with it. He still asked for it during the stretch we had taken it away, but the point was to teach him to just be with out it until one day we just completely took it away and he totally forgot about it. We have a 7 week old we give the "chu-chu" (that's what our first calls it) and he picked it up after seeing for the first time in a looooong time and said "ohhhhh chu-chu!!!" He remembered still! But we just taught him that it's not for him, it's for his brother and he never put it into his mouth again. Try to be patient, it's hard I KNOW :)posted 12/12/2011 by CristinaBeier

Noxious Weeds: Most Common: Johnson Grass and Specific Controls
Johnson Grass·
Johnson grass · Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers · is a perennial, noxious weed native to the Mediterranean region and was first identified in Kansas in 1880.
It has moderate forage value, however hydrocyanic acid formed in the plant under frost or drought stress renders it poisonous to livestock.
It spreads rapidly by seed or its vigorous rhizome structure. A single mature plant may produce over 80,000 seeds and 200 feet of rhizomes. The seed can remain viable in the soil for up to 25 years and will begin producing lateral rhizomes 6-9 weeks after germination.
Crop Losses
Johnson Grass is one of the most costly weeds with which farmers must contend. It costs them millions of dollars each year in lost crops, poor quality grain and lower crop yields. Five Johnson Grass stems per .0001 acre reduces soybean yields by 4.2%; 50 stems reduce yields by 23% and 340 stems, 88%. One Johnson Grass head per 3.3 feet of grain sorghum row reduces yield by 52 pounds per acre while 50 heads per 3.3 feet reduce yields by 50%. A single plant at maturity may produce over 80,000 seeds and more than 212 feet of rhizomes. Johnson Grass seed can remain viable in the soil for up to 25 years.
Prevention of Spread
Preventing seed production and its spread is of primary importance. New infestations of Johnson Grass may be reduced by planting Johnson Grass-free seed, using livestock feed that is free of Johnson Grass seed, and cleaning machinery before leaving infested fields.
Cultural Control Practices
Control of Johnson Grass shall mean preventing the production of viable seed and destroying the plant's ability to reproduce by vegetative means. Control may be achieved by chemical, cultural or mechanical means, or by combinations of these methods.
Cultivation may begin any time during the growing season and shall cut off all the weed plant at each operation (use duckfoot or blade type implement). Cultivations shall be 3 to 5 inches deep at intervals of 14 to 18 days. When the plants have so weakened that they emerge more slowly, the cultivation intervals may be extended to such time as will permit the plants to grow not more than ten days after each emergence of the first plants, but not to exceed intervals of three weeks. Cultivation shall be continued until the weeds have been eradicated or suppressed to such an extent that remaining plants may be more economically destroyed by application of approved chemicals to individual plants or by hand cultivation.
In yards, flower gardens, lawns, and around trees and shrubbery, hoeing and other effective means of thoroughly cutting the weeds at regular intervals, not to exceed 14 days during the growing season, shall be construed as intensive cultivation.
Close grazing or mowing at 2 or 3 weeks intervals through the growing season and followed by late fall plowing to expose the root stalks through the winter is a accepted control practice.
Approved Herbicides
The following herbicides may be cost-shared with landowners. Other products labeled and registered for use on this noxious weed in Kansas may be used in accordance with label and directions but are not available for cost-sharing.
Outrider® herbicide controls a wide range of weeds on roadsides and unimproved non-crop sites. Whether you need pre- or post-emergent control, Outrider offers:Excellent control of Johnsongrass and other weeds, without injury to Bermudagrass and Bahiagrass

Debate & Poll: Is Di Matteo the right man to lead Chelsea?
10:42 05 March 2012
Vote in our poll and join in the debate
Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed as interim manager by Chelsea until the end of the season after the Blues decided to sack Andre Villas-Boas, but is he the right man for the job?
Di Matteo was appointed as the Portuguese manager's assistant in June 2011 after being out-of-work since West Brom sacked him in February.
The former Italian international, who was born in Switzerland, is known to Blues fans after his six-year spell as a player at Chelsea between 1996 and 2002.
During his time at the Blues, Di Matteo won the FA Cup twice, as well as the League Cup, Uefa Super Cup and the Charity Shield.
In the 1997 FA Cup final Di Matteo scored after 42 seconds and in his later years at Stamford Bridge the Italian played with current Chelsea stars, John Terry and Frank Lampard.
Following retirement, in 2008 Di Matteo took over at League One club, MK Dons, leading them to third in the 2008/09 season, missing out on automatic promotion to Peterborough by a mere two points.
Unfortunately for the Dons, they lost on penalties in the play-off semi-finals to eventual winners, Scunthorpe United.
After the play-off defeat West Brom came calling for Di Matteo following their relegation from the Premier League and the Italian had a successful first campaign, guiding the Black Country club back into the top flight in his first season in charge as the Baggies finished second.
Despite his initial success Di Matteo was dismissed from the role after the Baggies lost 3-0 to Manchester City on February 5 2011, leaving them two points clear of the bottom-three. The Italian managed West Brom for 83 games, winning 40, drawing 19 and losing 24, giving him a win percentage of just over 48 per cent.
In June 2011 Di Matteo was announced as the assistant to Villas-Boas.
The Portuguese boss was sacked because the club were languishing in fifth place, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal and had endured run of form that saw the Blues pick up just 12 points from an available 24 in 2012.
The Chelsea board then placed Di Matteo in temporary charge until the end of the season.
Villas-Boas left Do you think Di Matteo is the right man to take charge of Chelsea? Is he experienced enough? Will he get the respect of the dressing room? Vote in our poll and comment below to make your opinion heard.

Tomorrow's D, ummm, I mean P-DayRoni
P-Day as in "Pump" Day.
Tomorrow morning I'm heading to San Diego for the BlogHer conference.
I'll be gone for 4 days.
The freezer is stocked with breast milk. I have a plan to pump and ship more Friday afternoon to be delivered Saturday morning and there's a can of formula in the pantry, just in case.
Honestly, I'm a nervous wreck!
There's a level of excitement as I haven't had any time alone in a long time but it's mixed with a little guilt, a little concern and a lot of anxiety.
Am I leaving him to soon?
Will he refuse to nurse when I get home?
Will I be able to manage the pumping?
Will my supply be compromised?
These are just some of the thoughts swimming in my head. I'm trying to remind myself all will be fine. This is a great time for the husband to spend some quality alone time with the boys. Plus I'm a little Type-A, so stepping away is a bit therapeutic for me as well.
I will keep you posted and let you know how the "pump and ship" pans out! I'm still working out some of the details.

Judge Leon's NSA #Slatepitch
The wacky idea that giving away your data creates a greater expectation of privacy.
Buried deep in Judge Richard Leon's breathtaking decision invalidating the NSA's telephone metadata program is a #slatepitch. Leon concludes, contrary to the views of virtually everyone else in our digital world, that we have a greater expectation of privacy in the data we readily hand over to third-party providers today than we had back in the 1970s. As our colleague Emily Bazelon wrote Monday, "That's the most debatable proposition in his opinion." Debatable it is, but—like some percentage of all good Slatepitches—it's probably also true.
It had better be true. If Judge Leon's groundbreaking opinion is to be upheld on appeal, it is crucial that he is right about this one proposition. The Fourth Amendment prohibits "unreasonable searches and seizures," and the Supreme Court has said that if we don't have a legitimate expectation of privacy in what the government grabs, it is not a search at all. Period. Unfortunately for Judge Leon (and for anyone else who doesn't want all their telephone metadata vacuumed up by the NSA), long-standing Supreme Court precedents state unequivocally that is not a search for the government to collect evidence we've already given over to third-party providers. That's why Judge Leon felt compelled to make a normative argument to support his conclusion. And while he is normatively correct that our expectations of privacy should be greater than they were back in the days of rotary phone booths, his claim still sounds paradoxical.
The most relevant case here is the Supreme Court's 1979 decision in Smith v. Maryland. In Smith a guy snatched a woman's purse, and she started to get weird phone calls. So the police had the phone company install a pen register to trace her incoming calls, without obtaining a warrant, which ultimately incriminated the defendant. The Supreme Court decided that Smith had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the numbers he dialed from his home phone. (If that strikes you as odd, sit tight; we'll get back to it in a moment.) No reasonable expectation of privacy means there was no search, which means there was no constitutional protection. The Smith decision looked to be one heck of an obstacle for Judge Leon to get around, and so he worked overtime—and not particularly successfully in the eyes of some—to distinguish the NSA's ginormous warrantless wiretapping scheme from collecting the numbers called from just one person's phone in Smith. That's also why he went normative.
Judge Leon sets up the question before him as follows: "When do present-day circumstances—the evolutions in the Government' s surveillance capabilities, citizens' phone habits, and the relationship between the NSA and telecom companies—become so thoroughly unlike those considered by the Supreme Court thirty-four years ago that a precedent like Smith simply does not apply?"
You guessed it—his answer to that question turns out to be "now." Leon's opinion is a cornucopia of facts about all the new ways we use phones, suggesting that we think—or would like to think—our information is absolutely private, way more so than back in the day (1979).
The money line in Judge Leon's opinion is this one: "Whereas some may assume that these cultural changes will force people to 'reconcile themselves' to an 'inevitable' 'diminution of privacy that new technology entails,' "—he is quoting Justice Samuel Alito here—"I think it is more likely that these trends have resulted in a greater expectation of privacy and a recognition that society views that expectation as reasonable." That's the Slatepitch: the counterintuitive insistence that, as a society in 2013, the more we give information away to anyone and everyone, the more privacy we expect in our data.
And what about the fact that Americans really don't seem to care about giving all their data away? Leon writes in a footnote (it's the footnotes in his opinion that really ring the change) that it's the government's—and especially the Supreme Court's—fault: We have been conditioned by our legal regime not to care. "The experiences of many Americans—especially those who have grown up in the post-Smith, post-cell phone, post PATRIOT Act age—might well be compared to those of the 'refugee from a totalitarian country, unaware of this Nation's traditions, [who] erroneously assume that police were continuously monitoring' telephony metadata. Accordingly, their 'subjective expectations obviously could play no meaningful role in ascertaining ... the scope of Fourth Amendment protection.' "
And then Judge Leon rather dramatically concludes that because our catawampus ideas about privacy can no longer be helpful to the debate over what a reasonable expectation of privacy might look like, "a normative inquiry" is what's called for.
So there it is, sports fans. That's the moment you want to watch on instant replay. When a Republican-appointed federal judge tells you he is going to make a "normative" determination about what reasonable expectations of privacy should be, that's a signal that he is going to step out. In some quarters that's called "judicial activism."
