The announcement is part of several measures the Obama administration is taking to cut methane emissions by 40 to 45
By the time the public comment period ended on April 22, over 12,000 Wilderness Society supporters had submitted comments applauding a new rule that addressed natural gas waste on public lands—waste that is
In early April, the U.S. Forest Service issued a draft environmental impact statement recommending that this forest in the Wyoming Range withdraw consent to lease 30 parcels—nearly 40,000 acres—of land for oil and gas leasing.
Most oil and gas operators polled for the report say that new Colorado regulations—including mandated inspections of oil and gas o
Oil and gas companies want you to think they are over-regulated, but fossil fuel development on public lands is currently managed in heavy favor of the industry.
The oil and gas industry wants the public to believe that it needs access to more of our lands, but new statistics released by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on April 11 show the industry isn't bidding on all of the land offered for lease by the BLM.
It is time to overhaul the system behind the leasing of federal coal and take the impact of coal emissions seriously.
Coal production on public lands has been an important part of the U.S.
On March 24, the Interior Department announced that it will begin a "Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement" to review how coal production on public lands impacts climate and whether it is providing a fair return to tax payers.
Today, in a historic announcement, President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau pledged to cut methane emissions from currently producing oil and gas wells.
Chronic under-funding has left our nation's trail system in poor shape. Support a bill that would change that.

Sometimes called vitamin Q, coenzyme Q10 is a remarkable nutrient that offers amazing benefits for your skin. Coenzyme Q10 functions as an energy source for your skin cells and helps boost the natural processes that drive cellular regeneration. The nutrient also causes your body to produce collagen, the structural protein that keeps the skin from sagging, and protects against sun damage and age-causing oxidation from environmental free radicals. As you age, levels of coenzyme Q10 naturally decrease and require replenishing to keep your skin healthy, toned and protected. The PRIORI Idebenone Superceuticals collection is a lineup of skin care products designed to replace coenzyme Q10 in aging skin.
The active ingredient in the PRIORI Idebenone Superceuticals range is idebenone, a synthetic version of coenzyme Q10. Because idebenone is 1000 times more potent than the nutrient, the PRIORI Idebenone Superceuticals lineup offers more noticeable results than other skin care collections that contain coenzyme Q10. The PRIORI Idebenone Superceuticals collection is a full skin care regimen designed to exfoliate, strengthen and rejuvenate the complexion by supplementing the skin's levels of coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vital nutrient for skin health and beauty that decreases in concentration within skin tissues as you age. The PRIORI Idebenone Superceuticals line was designed to protect and strengthen aging skin by replenishing lost coenzyme Q10 supplies with a synthetic analog of the nutrient called idebenone. Not only is idebenone effective for boosting collagen production and cellular turnover and protecting the skin against environmental damage, it is also 1000 times more powerful than natural coenzyme Q10, offering maximum benefits.
The PRIORI Idebenone Moisturizing Facial Cream combines idebenone with vitamin A and lactic acid to remove dead skin cells with each application of the nourishing cream. In addition, the cream immediately strengthens sagging skin to make signs of aging less noticeable and helps replenish lost moisture through the inclusion of sodium hyaluronate in its formula.
The PRIORI Idebenone Eye Serum gives the delicate skin around the eyes a dose of idebenone to protect against the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. To soothe irritated, parched tissue, the serum also contains moisturizing glycerin and natural algae extract. Vitamin A and lactic acid in the serum safely exfoliate the under eye area with each use.
The PRIORI Idebenone Even Tones is the perfect anti-aging treatment to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration due to aging and the sun. Its amazing effectiveness at treating hyperpigmentation comes from its blend of exfoliating agents like lactic acid and natural skin lighteners like licorice extract, rather than from chemical bleaches.

It's a little Mad Max, without the madness, or umm, the max. It's the Wothahellizat, the off-road, knows-no-bounds 6x6 turbo diesel motorhome with bite!
As many of us eagerly inch towards a mobile, nomadic lifestyle without wanting to sacrifice our digital obsessions, we find the things like the Wothahelliza providing the answer. Like all diamonds in the rough, this motor home looks less glamorous outside then it is practical inside. However considering the vehicle is capable off roading, beautification would be alike to wearing stilettos to the New York marathon.
Stay online, work from home and dare to roam. With a price that challenges that of a one bedroom apartment in most major cities, the Wothahellza is tagged at around $260,000, with a small catch. It's available only in Australia. by Lisa Evans

Hi there,
Not sure how easy this will be to answer but I'm looking to implement a new Zimbra Open Source server for our business and I'm looking for some advice/guidance on how admin resource required for the server. This is what I'm looking at...
Either installing Ubuntu Server 10/12.04.LTS and Zimbra Open Source Edition 8.0 seperatley or via an appliance, looking at the Vmware appliance or Turnkey (although Turnkey bundles with Open Source v.5 so I'f then have to upgrade).
The server would only be supporting around 120 mailboxes, 50 of which would belong to users and the rest would be accessed by various in-house server apps to send/recieve mail.
All of our mail solutions thus far have been externally hosted so my main question is how much Admin time is going to be required for Open Source Edition (with Clam AV + SPAM Assasin etc) as a business solution.
Kind Regards

Video: Paul & Sheila Comer indicted for cruelty to children, other charges
DALLAS, Ga. -- The Paulding County parents accused of locking up their son and starving him will fight for bond Friday.
Paul and Sheila Comer have remained in jail since a grand jury passed down indictments in October.
RELATED | Paulding teen says parents locked him up for years
READ | Grand jury indictment document
The couple is accused of keeping son Mitch locked in a bedroom and practically starving him. When Mitch turned 18, prosecutors said Paul Comer put Mitch on a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles and gave him a list of homeless shelters. They said Mitch was told by Paul to never come home again.
Paul and Sheila Comer remain behind bars, denied bond, but maintain their innocence. Their attorneys had hoped to get the cruelty charges thrown out, arguing Mitch's parents were abusing Mitch, but trying to discipline a troubled child.
Officials said the 5-foot-1, 87-pound Mitch was taken out of school when he was in the 8th grade, and was so malnourished that he still had his baby teeth at 18.
Security guards who saw Mitch at a bus station in Los Angeles contacted authorities, who helped get him back to Georgia.
RELATED | Bond denied for Comers
PHOTOS | Mug Shots: See 'em to believe 'em
The grand jury indicted the Comers on seven counts of first-degree cruelty to children, two counts of false imprisonment and a single count of kidnapping.
Two of the charges target Mitch's stepfather, accusing him of kicking Mitch in the groin and punching him in the face. Mitch told investigators his parents starved him, forcing him to remain for hours each day with his head against a wall, confined to a room or bathroom.
"I want to give him a hug and I want to tell him that he's loved and that he will be cared for," says Karen Pace, a Paulding County resident now organizing a fundraiser to help Mitch.
Pace has never met the teen but was moved by his story and launched a Facebook page asking the community to help. She has worked closely with those caring for Mitch to figure out what he needs.
A family has temporarily taken Mitch in, but eventually he will need to step out on his own. That's where Pace says the community comes in.
"I can't just say, oh that's sad and tragic and walk away and not act on that," says Pace.
Pace says Mitch wants the chance to live the past four years again, this time in the community, not in a room. He wants to go to school, not to get his GED, but to earn a high school diploma.
"He wants to get up every day, he wants to go to school, he wants to interact with all those kids, he wants the classroom setting," Pace said.
Pace is trying to find a private school that can make that happen and businesses like Hardy Chevrolet to help sponsor the fundraiser in November.
"It's heartbreaking to think a guy missed that many years of his life and not able to learn, to go through school, void in his social life, the list goes on and on," says Brad Wilson, the dealership's GM.
Hardy Chevrolet has made a donation to the Mitch Over Comer Fund and will sponsor a game, giving contestants a chance to win $10,000. If they succeed, the Over Comer Fund will also get a $10,000 boost.
The fundraiser will be held Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Taylor Farm Park in Powder Springs. The American Legion Post 111 is also hosting a ride that day.
Organizers say they still needs items to auction and of course, donations to his fund. They can be made at the park or at any Wells Fargo Branch under the name 'The Mitch Over Comer Fund.'

By Leisa Zigman, I-Team Reporter
ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Seven members of 18-year-old Matthew Pellegrini's family spoke through tears at a sentencing hearing in St. Louis Circuit Court Thursday. Each family member asked the judge to reject a plea agreement made without their consent.
"In my opinion, it is an open and shut case," said Angelo Pellegrini, Matthew's father. "He put the gun to Matthew's head and pulled the trigger knowing it was loaded and it could kill him."
Prosecutors first charged Kevin Beindorff with second-degree murder after he admitted to killing Pellegrini on February 21, 2012. A grand jury indicted him for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. Beindorff said he shot Pellegrini after he asked to be killed, but thought it would land on an empty chamber. He has maintained the shooting was an accident.
"The loss of a child is horrific. But to hear that he put it up to his head and pulled the trigger and claims 'I thought it would hit an empty chamber?' Maybe he should have tested it on himself first?" Inkley said. "That is how I look at that. If that's what you believe, you should have tried it out on you and see how that works out for you. Because didn't work out so well for my son."
Beindorff's plea deal would give him seven years for manslaughter and three years for armed criminal action, which would run concurrently. With time served, he could be out in three to four years.
In court, Beindorff apologized to the family and for the pain he has caused. He reiterated it was an accident and he takes full responsibility.
Pellegrini's parents hope the judge in the case will give him 20 to 30 years in prison and ignore the plea agreement.
According to a spokesperson for St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, in order to get a conviction for murder, prosecutors would have to prove beyond any doubt that Beindorff intended to kill Matthew Pellegrini.
In a statement, Joyce said, "While the impact of this tragedy on Mr. Pellegrini's family has been tremendous, under our legal system charging decisions are made by objective prosecutors based on the evidence available and the application of the laws of the State of Missouri."
Judge Edward Sweeny said based on the victim's family's statements and the severity of the crime, he wanted to take a week before deciding whether to accept the plea agreement. According to a spokesperson from the circuit attorney's office, "It would be rare for a judge to reject a plea agreement."
Judge Sweeny can accept the agreement. He could also reject the agreement and give him up to life in prison under the armed criminal action charge. Beindorff could then choose to go to trial if he doesn't like the sentence the judge assigns.
The judge will make his ruling next Friday, April 19, 2013.
After court, several members of the Pellegrini family handed their victim impact statements to the I-Team's Leisa Zigman, who reported on the case Wednesday.

Get Public's Ideas on Arena

No doubt WesBanco Arena Executive Director Dennis Magruder has heard an enormous number of ideas for improving the downtown Wheeling facility....
Oh, Yea, they listen to us. It goes in one ear- out the other, then spend our money the way they want.

He brings good entertainment?
How much, in terms of operating profit, do the Capitol and Wesbanco Arena earn each year?
These are MONEY LOSERS.
Remember when Herron and the Boy Mayor said that not one dime of taxpayer money would go to The Capitol? WRONG AGAIN, SUCKER!
What was the original arena cost vs. the proposed improvements?
How will "changing" the tax structure result in an additional $4 million in revenues?
The Boy Mayor's tax estimates assume that $280 million in sales transactions-excluding cars, real estate, etc-take place within city limits each year.
Who? Where? For what? Does ANYONE really believe that there are $280 million per year in non-car sales within the city?
If you do believe that, I have a bridge in Benwood to sell you.

Austria may be small but it's also packed with variety, from grand Hapsburg palaces to mountain-framed alpine-green pastures. Stick to the cities to sip cream-smothered Viennese coffees in chandelier-lit cafes or trawl contemporary art galleries in fast developing Linz. Head for the great outdoors for lively apres-ski chalets or ski down Tyrol's snowy Alps.
From Graz to Linz on the River Danube, Austrian cities share a love of coffee houses, otherwise known as temples to sinful Sachertorte chocolate cake and sacred Gemtlichkeit, literally cosiness. Trace the winding River Danube to Austria's cultural centre and capital city, Vienna, or visit Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg. Head west to the Vorarlberg and Tyrol regions to snuggle in wooden alpine chalets and nibble on farm-fresh cheese.
Admire Vienna's vast MuseumsQuartier collection of museums. Or try local speciality Sachertorte cake in an elegant 19th-century coffee house. Take a stroll along the twinkling Ringstrasse boulevard that wraps itself around Vienna's centre. Climb Graz's medieval clock tower, looming above a jumble of red-roofed townhouses. Head north to Linz, the pulse of modern-day Austria with cutting-edge art galleries and a vibrant nightlife scene.
The Eastern Alps steal the limelight in the Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Salzburgerland areas. Head here for summertime rambles through edelweiss flower meadows. In the winter, stay in a popular ski resort like Kitzbhel or Mayrhofen. Gaze up at the Grossglockner or hear the crash of Krimml Falls waterfall in Hohe Tauern National Park. Moving east the scenery shifts to rolling woodland and shady apple orchards.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Voters in Washington state have approved gay marriage, joining Maine and Maryland as the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote.
Referendum 74 asked people to approve or reject a law legalizing same-sex marriage that Washington legislators passed earlier this year. The law was signed by the governor but was on hold pending the election's outcome.
Washington is one of four states where voters were asked about the issue this election cycle. Maryland and Maine approved gay marriage Tuesday night, while Minnesota voters rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to ban it.
The District of Columbia and six states — New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont — already allow gay marriage. But their laws were enacted either by lawmakers or court rulings.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Pepco had the lowest restoration average for three straight days, and nearly tied for last on two of the five days following Friday's storm according to a 9 Wants to Know analysis.
See a Pepco statement, released after publication, on our analysis at the bottom of this page.
Using data obtained from utility websites and responses to WUSA9 data requests directly to the utilities involved in last week's storm, our analysis tracked the percentage of customers restored with power.
In the 24 hours after the storm, according to Pepco, it had restored only 20% of its customers, compared to the much smaller Novec, which reported restoring 62%.
Pepco was also behind Potomac Edison, BGE, and Dominion which scored the highest restoration rate of the big utilities at 26% with power in our analysis of June 30th.
Dominion responded to 1,040,000 customers without power compared to Pepco which reported 456,710 disconnected.
Of the big three on Sunday, our analysis shows Dominion restored 58%, BGE 53%, and Pepco was in last place, reporting 42% restored.
As crews spread throughout the region Monday, Pepco again ranked last in our analysis.
BGE reported 68% restored. Dominion, connected the most of the big three, reporting 73%. Pepco reported only 65% of its 456-thousand customers had power.
June 30 July 1 July 2 July 3 July 4
Pepco 20% 42% 65% 82% 92%
Pot. Ed 24% 64% 74% * 96%
Dom. 26% 58% 73% 90% 95%
Novec 62% 84% 89% 98% 99%
*Potomac Edison did not report numbers for July 3rd and declined to fulfill WUSA9's request to provide the data.
Tuesday and Wednesday, our analysis shows Pepco not coming in last, but within one point of last place, nearly tying with BGE.
The numbers angered Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner.
"We expect them to be looking at these numbers and we expect them to hold Pepco accountable if in their judgment they have not measured up," Berliner said. "From what I see there is certainly a strong basis to assume that they have not measured up."
Pepco provided new numbers used for this analysis, which improved their averages compared to the re-connections they had reported earlier, but the utility did not offer comment on the comparison.
A BGE spokesman said many factors can impact the averages.
"As you can see, the numbers for
us and Pepco speak to what we discussed (about different utilities facing different restoration challenges)," said BGE spokesman Rob Gould. "A much more densely populated
area and, a lot more trees, big ones, in those densely populated areas."
Experts say a lot of factors beyond restoration averages are needed to fairly evaluate a utility's response to a storm.
Unedited Pepco response:
storm affects each utility differently. The systems, environments and the
damage left behind is different for each.
For our
restoration, we had to first address the damage to backbone of our system -
transmission lines and substations -- before we could make repairs that would
restore power to our customers. This was not lagging behind other utilities but
instead appropriately addressing the unique damage to our system.
The data in
your chart also is incomplete and misleading. To accurately compare
performance, one would need to look at the overall restoration performance,
which would show that we are in line with our neighboring utilities.
competition among utilities is not a factor in the restoration process. Our
focus is on our customers and performing to the best of our abilities to
restore power to them as quickly as possible.

Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism
The forty-one paintings on view in these galleries are among the finest examples of late ninteenth- and early twentieth-century French and American landscape in the Brooklyn Museum's collection. The selection offers a broad survey of progressive landscape painting as practiced by leading French artists, including Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and their most talented American followers, such as John Singer Sargent and Frederick Childe Hassam.
The earliest works in the exhibition, dating from the 1850s and 1860s, demonstrate the impact of progressive, plein-air sketching practices on landscape art of the period. Many of the painters of the so-called Barbizon School of French landscape painting made on-site, preparatory sketches in oil, directly recording natural effects of light and color, which they carried over into the larger and more carefully designed paintings completed in their studios. Their compositions, too, were often "natural," offering informally circumscribed views of a stretch of beach, the corner of a harbor, or a bend in a river. With the aim of suggesting spontaneity of vision, these landscape artists dramatically cropped forms at the painting's edges to suggest the fragmentary quality of the view. They enhanced the liveliness of these images through brilliant lighting effects and the suggestion of palpable atmosphere.
Heirs to this plein-air tradition, French Impressionists painted highly elaborated "impressions"—that is, the seemingly spontaneous, rapidly executed landscapes that prompted the name of their movement. Most of these painters developed a methodical process that combined painting in the open air with reworkings in the studio. This practice allowed artists to invest a great deal of time in completing a work despite the distinctly improvisational appearance of the brushstrokes in the image. Claude Monet, for example, positioned himself before a subject for hours over a series of days, if not months, substituting one canvas for another as dictated by changing lighting and atmospheric effects, and producing a series of works devoted to the same subject under different conditions.
Following in the footsteps of these French exemplars, many American painters sought to improve their skills and find inspiration in Paris and its environs, attending French art academies and frequenting the painting grounds made famous by their Barbizon and Impressionist predecessors. Some of the Americans had direct contact with leading French landscape painters, sharing landscape sites or seeking informal guidance from admired mentors. The majority of the American paintings in the exhibition, however, depict American locales, demonstrating the eagerness of these artists to retain their progressive aesthetic after returning home, and to bring the American scene up to date in vibrant, innovative canvases. Hence the appearance of American beaches, factories, tenements, and well-known subjects, such as Central Park, in paintings distinguished by brilliant colors and lively, broken brushwork.
The array of paintings shown here also demonstrates the Museum's distinctly early history of collecting in this field of painting, which continued to be pursued consistently in subsequent years. While a number of progressive American private collectors began purchasing French Barbizon and Impressionist landscapes in the post-Civil War decades, institutional collecting of these works was significantly more delayed. By the teens, however, the Brooklyn Museum was already making outstanding purchases and accepting notable gifts of progressive turn-of-the-century French and American landscapes—well in advance of the majority of American museums. Perhaps among the most notable events in this regard was the Brooklyn Museum's influential 1921 exhibition Paintings by Modern French Masters Representing the Post-Impressionists and Their Predecessors, which set the stage for institutional collecting of these French works by American museums. French and American Barbizon and Impressionist landscapes continue to enter the collection. More recent gifts such as Hassam's Poppies on the Isles of Shoals and the great Caillebotte, The Railroad Bridge at Argenteuil, have enhanced the shape and depth of these outstanding holdings.

David Jackson, USA TODAY
In perhaps another sign she will soon be nominated for Secretary of State, United Nations ambassador Susan Rice meets Tuesday with outspoken Senate Republican critics.
Rice will discuss the administration's reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, with GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
The three Republicans have criticized Rice for initially saying the Benghazi consulate attack -- including the killings of U.S. ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans -- resulted from the protest of an anti-Islam film; the administration later attributed the attack to a pre-planned terrorist operation.
Rice, who requested the meeting with McCain, said she had relied on talking points provided by intelligence agencies.
The meeting takes place amid signs that Obama may nominate Rice to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is expected to announce her retirement soon.
While Rice has drawn fire from Republicans, there would be little they could do to derail her nomination because Democrats control the Senate.
CBS News, which broke the story of the meeting between Rice and Republican senators, notes:
"In recent days, top Republicans have seemed to soften their criticism. McCain said on Fox News Sunday that he could change his mind about blocking her potential nomination, saying he would 'give everyone the benefit of explaining their position and the actions that they took.'
"He added that Rice is 'not the problem.' Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. -- who last week called Rice 'so disconnected to reality I don't trust her' -- said Sunday he places the blame for the account on 'the president above all others' and declined to say outright he would oppose Rice's nomination to become Secretary of State.
"Rice will be accompanied by acting CIA Director Mike Morell ..."

Published Nov. 30, 2012
BMW's manufacturing facility in the Upstate now ranks as the Germany-based carmaker's No. 2 production plant in the world.
The sprawling, 4 million-square-foot plant off Interstate 85 near Greer in Spartanburg County is on target to produce 300,000 vehicles this year, said Josef Kerscher (pictured, left), president of BMW Manufacturing.
"Our plant is the second-largest manufacturing facility," Kerscher said. "It's not what we expected 17 years ago" when BMW began operations at its first and only plant in North America.
Kerscher offered his remarks Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Executive Lecture Series at USC's Darla Moore School of Business.
BMW, though, is not slowing down in South Carolina. Kerscher noted that the company is in the midst of a $900 million expansion that will increase the plant's annual production capacity to 350,000 units. Last year the plant produced 276,056 cars.
When the project is completed, BMW expects to increase the Upstate plant's payroll by 300 workers. BMW presently employs about 7,000 people.
The expansion will allow BMW to add a fourth model – the X4 – to its line of sports activity vehicles produced at the Upstate plant, Kerscher said.
Kerscher declined to offer many details about the new model, destined to be introduced in 2014, saying he had to view pictures of the car in a "dark room in Munich," home of BMW's world headquarters.
According to trade publications, the X4 essentially will be a sportier version of the X3, featuring coupe styling instead of the boxy SUV design.
All of BMW's sports activity vehicles – classified as SUVs or light trucks – are built in South Carolina. Some 70% are shipped through the Port of Charleston to 130 world markets, Kerscher said.
BMW is the leading exporter of motor vehicles made in the United States.
The key to BMW's success as the world's No. 1 premium brand has been exports, Kerscher added.
"We've always been focused on exporting because Germany is not a big market," Kerscher said. "So we've always had to learn how to be competitive in the world market."
Germany and China are the top two destinations for S.C.-made products, Kerscher said, adding that BMW has the flexibility to respond to demand anywhere on the globe.
Although it appears the European economy is down, Kerscher said BMW seems to be holding its own in the premium car market
"The Asian market is growing, the U.S. market is growing," Kerscher added. "So overall we are growing and we believe we can overcome the situation."
Being in South Carolina has kept BMW competitive, Kerscher said. He praised the cooperation and help of state and local governments, and labeled the Upstate as a "business-friendly community." He also lauded the quality and work ethic of the company's employees.
"This is a business environment that we really like and helps us to be competitive in the U.S. marketplace, to be competitive in the world market," Kerscher said.
"If you're not competitive in our business, you will be out of business very soon."

Kidnapping Charges Dropped Due To Failure To File Before Deadline
WALL LAKE, Iowa (AP) - Kidnapping charges have been dropped against three northwest Iowa men after prosecutors failed to file the formal charges by a state-mandated deadline.
Thomas Schroeder II and Bradley Jacobsen, both of Wall Lake, and Steve Schroeder, of Odebolt, were arrested last month for allegedly kidnapping and beating a migrant worker, Rafael Trevino, on Aug. 3, 2009.
Iowa law requires prosecutors to file formal charges for most felonies within three years of the crime.
The charges were dropped this week after the Iowa attorney general's office, which was prosecuting the case, failed to file the formal charges before the deadline.
Attorney General Tom Miller has ordered his staff to review internal case management practices.
Trevino's attorney, Marinda van Dalen, says it's a "real injustice."
Elizabeth Smart Tells Missing Cousins Relatives "There's Always Hope"
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Elizabeth Smart, who was held by a kidnapper for nine months, is reminding the families of two missing Iowa cousins that "miracles do happen."
Ten-year-old Lyric Cook and her cousin Elizabeth Collins, who has since turned 9, were reported missing July 13 from the Waterloo suburb of Evansdale. The bikes were found at a nearby lake about
four hours after their grandmother had last seen them.
Smart was 14 when kidnapped from her suburban Salt lake City home in June 2002. She was reunited with her family in March 2003 and has since talked to kidnapping survivors and families who have suffered similar tragedies. Smart says "there's always hope."
Waterloo Police Find Abandoned Baby In Car
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Waterloo police say a baby was taken to a hospital after a patrol officer found the infant had been left alone in a parked car.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the 9-month-old child was found about noon on Wednesday when the officer saw the car parked on the wrong side of the street. The car wasn't locked.
The newspaper says the child was conscious but sweaty. It wasn't clear how long the child had been in the car. There was no word on the baby's condition.
Officers found the mother inside a nearby apartment building. The names of the mother and child weren't immediately released.
Casinos Violates Child Labor Laws
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Labor Department says it has found wage and child labor law violations at two Iowa casinos.
A department news release says it found teenagers working at the Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood were loading and operating trash compactors in violation of federal safety provisions.
The department also says it found violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime pay and record-keeping requirements at the Northwood casino and at the Diamond Jo Riverboat Casino in Dubuque.
The department says it recovered more than $46,500 in back wages for 32 employees.
The department says it has assessed $9,300 in civil penalties against Dubuque-based Peninsula Gaming LLC, which operates the casinos.
A company spokeswoman didn't return a message from The Associated Press.
Woman Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A Bettendorf woman who used a minor to produce child pornography has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that 37-year-old Amanda Diener received the 240-month prison term after pleading guilty to conspiracy to sexually exploit a child.
Prosecutors said that Diener used an unidentified female minor to whom she had access to perform sex acts, photograph them and send images to a Massachusetts man identified as Hobart Yates.
Yates and Diener also admitted that Diener performed sex acts on a live webcam that Yates watched.
U.S. District Judge Robert Pratt also sentenced Diener to 15 years of supervised release after her prison term.

Medical radiography is a hands-on career that lets you play an important role in the delivery of care by providing images to help identify problem areas in patients. It is a specialty well suited to those who are outgoing and assertive, because medical radiographers work independently and interact with physicians and patients daily. It also helps if you're comfortable with new technologies and welcome the challenge of mastering new skills.
Earning your Associate degree in Medical Radiography is an important first step to pursuing a career in this specialized field. One of the primary responsibilities of radiographers, sometimes referred to as Radiologic Technologist is to position patients and equipment in order to take radiographs, or X-rays. By doing so, you can help medical professionals identify a range of illnesses and injuries. You can also work closely with radiologists, the physicians who interpret X-rays, to perform diagnostic procedures.
The Medical Radiography program at Carrington College® is designed to provide students with the knowledge as well as the skills needed to pursue an entry-level medical radiographer position. The reasons you should consider this program include:
- The opportunity to learn through a mix of formal classroom instruction and practical hands-on training
- Eligibility to take the national certification exam after graduation
The growth potential for this healthcare field is clear
As the U.S. population grows and ages, there will be an increasing demand for diagnostic imaging. So it's easy to see why the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that employment of Radiologic Technologist may increase by about 21% from 2012 to 2022.1 Advances in technology could also help increase demand. As the equipment used in radiography becomes more accessible to facilities other than comprehensive medical centers, new employment opportunities for radiographers could arise in settings such as physicians' offices, clinics, medical laboratories and medical imaging centers.
A curriculum that can help you position yourself for career success
As a student of our Medical Radiography program, you will receive an education that covers a wide range of material. After first establishing a solid base of knowledge in subjects such as mathematics, computers, sociology and medical terminology, you will progress into coursework focused on the information and skills you'll need in your career, including pathology and radiographic procedures. To help you become secure in your skills, you'll receive hands-on clinical instruction in approved healthcare facilities.
This experience is invaluable when it comes to learning how to properly produce medical images of the human body. The final component of our Medical Radiography program is the review class that offers important preparation for the national certification exam.
After you have successfully completed our Medical Radiography program, you should be able to utilize your knowledge and skills to:
- Position patients properly to acquire useful images
- Ensure proper exposure for optimum film resolution
- Administer appropriate drugs and chemical mixtures to assist in the imaging process
- Practice proper radiation hygiene
- Interact with patients in a professional, yet compassionate manner
- Demonstrate proficiency in critical thinking and information management

Note: Graduates of the Medical Radiography program must pass the certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

You guys are making me nervous. I am 5'10 and 230# (the fat man). I have not encountered this resonant wobble at any speed, but haven't beat 65mph yet. Is this on all of em?
Thanks Cameron, I hope it works, I'm running out of options. Same experience here with my bike, minus the rain grooves. Starting to see a pattern? India, U.S. Italy. Maybe we all need video riding lessons?
Well put brother sing. When I get this sorted, we are gonna hop on RT 80, 78 or 287, to get to those beutifull country roads ,out west Jersey.
Also note that there are a lot of new dealers now selling this marque ........... I don't know if they really know how to set up an Enfield. I had the perception that they did not participate in any factory training at the mechanic level. So how many bikes are exhibiting these symptoms because the inexperienced dealer does not know what to watch out for upon assembly?
Yea, I also found the same. No weights on mine. pulled the wheels and balanced them, they were off, but not much.Definitely nothing I could feel.An imbalanced wheel would likely start off at speed with a continuesly increasing shudder or vibration.This is not the feeling I'm getting with this issue, It more like the bottom falls out of your stability a high speeds, then stop, then will do it again.With a definite light feel to the front end. Leaving you wondering what the hell was that.It's probably a combination of weight and geometry, both the rider and the bike. That's why guys are feeling it at different speeds, or not at all.
Just wondering, GHG - Have you tried any different rear spring adjustments to load or unload the front end? How's the oil level in the front forks, too? I'm REALLY curious here - YOU are the only one who has, so far, attempted to DEFINE this wobble and tried to quantify it. I cannot, for the life of me, re-create this on the test junk under anywhere NEAR "normal" conditions ..... Sign me "Still Searching"
Here is an interesting link describing motorcycle chassis oscillation. Note that EVERY motorcycle has a resonant chassic frequency!http://www.vf750fd.com/blurbs/vibmode.html

(WXIA) -- Ten million sets of eyeballs will be watching the Super Bowl February 2. Advertisers can't pass up the chance to pitch to that many people, so it's going to cost them. The costs are increasing at break-neck speed.
A 30 second ad in 1967 cost $293,000. We broke the $1 million mark in 1985, the $2 million in 1999, and the $3 million in 2009. There are reports Fox could be pulling in $4 million this year.
To get more bang for those huge bucks, the leaking of Super Bowl ads long before the game is now part of the process.
It's been 60 years in the making, but on Sunday, February 2, beloved M&M'S Brand character Yellow will finally get his moment in the spotlight.
Axe's Super Bowl ad, "Make Love Not War" is one of the big productions this year.
Remember Go Daddy saying they decided not to go super sexy? They kept their promise... kind of.
Other ads are embracing a new strategy: they're making ads for super bowl ads. Oikos Yogurt has a Full House throwback
Volkswagon shows their engineers attempting to engineer the perfect commercial.
What ads are you looking forward to seeing on Super Bowl Sunday?

All nice birds. One day it will be my turn
Really? Number 2? I just want to kill one!
Got this one opening day. Nothing was coming in so walked out of the blind to call up the canyon, didn't hear anything. Walked back and there was 2 big toms heading for the decoys. My first turkey with my bow, 9 1/4" inches

First, let me say how glad I am to have found this place!
Just from the brief look I've had before registering, I've seen some absolutely STUNNING examples of map work, and I am sure that I've found the right place.
I'm a hobbyist level game designer, soon to be self employed, and soon to have a fair bit of "me time" to work on projects that are close to my heart.
I'm here to study and learn from you guys, because you are WAAAAY beyond my current skill level.
By studying here, at the feet of the Masters, my hops is that my own game project will continue to improve.

Violators caught going more than 25 miles per hour over the limit will pay a higher fine, $300 instead of the current $250.
The changes are similar to ones proposed in legislation introduced last month in the D.C. Council.

DNR officials expecting hunters to take advantage of earlier start to deer archery season
CHARLESTON -- The adjustment has begun.
West Virginia's deer archery season got under way Saturday, two weeks earlier than it had in the past. Wildlife officials expect hunters to kill more deer during the lengthened season, but don't expect any major changes in sportsmen's behavior.
"The main change is hunters will enjoy a few additional days of archery-hunting opportunity," said Paul Johansen, assistant wildlife chief for the state Division of Natural Resources. "The real positive factor is that the new season structure will provide a couple of extra weekend days when hunters can get up into their tree stands."
To biologists, more hunting days - especially on weekends - almost always result in more deer being killed. Johansen said he expects a slight rise in this year's archery kill, especially in counties where deer are most abundant.
"Those are the counties where we have the most liberal [antlerless-deer] regulations. The longer season will afford hunters the opportunity to take more antlerless deer," he added.
In the past, Johansen couldn't be sure hunters anywhere in the state would choose to kill an antlerless deer instead of an antlered buck. This year, though, a new regulation has been put in place to force hunters to kill antlerless deer.
"In certain counties, bowhunters who take a buck must kill an antlerless deer before they're allowed to take a second antlered buck," Johansen explained.
The regulation, dubbed "earn-a-buck lite" because it applies to a hunter's second buck and not his first, will be enforced in Brooke, Hampshire, Hancock, Hardy, Marshall, eastern Mineral, Monongalia, Ohio, Tyler and Wood counties.
Some hunters dislike killing antlerless deer because they think it harms the population, but Johansen said there are plenty of whitetails to go around.
"Certainly, the deer resource can accommodate the extra days of hunting," he added. "And bowhunters are becoming increasingly friendly toward the idea of killing antlerless deer.
"Some of the really avid bowhunters in the Northern Panhandle, for example, are getting really tuned in to the idea of managing their hunting properties for quality bucks. To get the older-age, bigger-antlered bucks they want, they're harvesting more antlerless deer."
While Johansen expects the longer season to produce a higher overall kill, he doesn't anticipate any appreciable difference in the number of trophy bucks archers take.
"Most of the really big trophy bucks get killed during the rut," he explained. "No doubt there will be some killed between the start of the season and the start of the rut, but most will be killed in early to mid-November, during the weeks immediately surrounding the peak of the rut."
Johansen acknowledged, however, that hunters willing to hunt during those extra couple of weeks will enjoy better odds at taking a trophy. "Hey, the more time you spend in a tree stand, the better chance you have of having big boy come along," he said.
DNR officials are only now completing the agency's annual Mast Report and Hunting Outlook booklet, but Johansen said the availability of acorns and other "hard mast" items will have a profound effect on how many deer archers manage to kill.
"Generally speaking, in years when hard mast is abundant, the archery kill is usually lower than in years when mast is scarce," he said. "Deer that have plenty to eat tend not to move around very much, and when they don't move, they become less vulnerable to hunters."
Preliminary reports indicate that acorns will be abundant in some parts of the state, but scarce in others.
"Naturally, hunters who have done their [pre-season] scouting will know where acorns are abundant, and will set up their tree stands close to those areas," Johansen said.
Four West Virginia counties - Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming - are closed to firearm hunting for deer, and are indisputably the state's top producers of bow-killed trophy bucks. Close behind, though, are Raleigh, Fayette, Mercer, Boone, Kanawha and Lincoln, all geographically close to the Fab Four.

WHEELING - With 11 of 12 starters returning this winter, first-year Wheeling Park wrestling coach Jack Doyle has an embarrassment of riches.
So, it's no surprise the Patriots are off to a fantastic start.
Wheeling Park looked strong in all phases Wednesday night in defeating Morgantown (57-13) and Brooke (44-21) in an early-season West Virginia Class AAA showcase at Wheeling Park High School.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Cody Amos battles Brooke's Nate Dawson during their 195-pound match Wednesday night at Wheeling Park High School. Amos pinned Dawson in 1:58.
The Bruins topped the Mohigans (56-21) in the night's other match.
Park followed up its third straight triumph at the Rick Link Union Local Invitational last Saturday with another strong performance against two regional foes.
''Everything right now seems to be right where we want it to be,'' Doyle said. ''By wrestling physical, by wrestling tough, by going full matches ... we're getting full matches, we're not just getting 14 pins. We're getting tough matches.''
The Patriots were without standout Dylan Taylor, who has missed the last few days of school with a migraine.
With Taylor out, the rest of the team stepped up, including Cody Amos, the Most Outstanding Wrestler in Morristown over the weekend.
Amos, who finished third in the 170-pound bracket as a junior at last season's state tournament, posted a pair of pins.
He stopped Morgantown's Kyle Gesek in 34 seconds and later stunned Brooke's Nathan Dawson by pinning him in 1:58.
''He's been talking about that match all week,'' Doyle said of Amos.
Amos normally competes at 182 pounds. But because of some lineup shuffling he was able to go up against the defending state champ in the weight class.
It was probably the most-anticipated match of the night.
''It seems like during that second match we came out with more energy and determination,'' Doyle said. ''We want to wrestle that way the rest of the season.''
Dawson fared better in his other match, defeating Gesek by technical fall, 19-4.
Brooke coach Rod Pattison thought his team would perform better against the Patriots. But still, he found many bright spots.
One of those was the performance of 138-pounder Matt Lazear.
''He didn't win, but he's been off a couple of years and I can see the rust starting to come off him,'' Pattison said.
Pattison was also impressed with heavyweight Preston Wise. Wise defeated Park's Casey Hewitt after taking Morgantown's Taylor Ortiz to overtime before being pinned.
Ortiz finished third at state last season.
Park heads to the prestigious War on the Shore this weekend, while Brooke competes in the Potter Classic at East Liverpool.
''We'll really find out where we are this weekend,'' Doyle said.

A Little about Me
I am a fourth-year senior in Psychology and Architecture and I currently work on Dr. Lamb's research team over at Emory, where we are studying how nurses coordinate care in the hospital. I'm looking forward to graduating in the spring and I am truly excited about seeing how this class unfolds.
Outside of classes, I have been coaching youth soccer teams (with kids under the age of 6, yes...pure craziness!) for the past four years, as well as serving as an adviser to a freshmen leadership team, Freshman Activities Board (FAB). I also teach several fitness classes at our very own CRC, including cycling and cardio kickboxing.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Pedal Small Parts in stock than that.View Similar Products
Crank Brothers Rebuild Kit - Eggbeater and Candy $0.00
Ride any pedal off road enough and you'll want to rebuild it. True to its mission, Crankbrothers pedal rebuild kits are simple and easy to work with, only marginally harder than the effort it takes to take the pedal off the spindle, which is what you need to do to grease it.
You'll need a screwdriver or pick to get off the exterior cover, an allen key to unscrew the bolt that holds the pedal to the spindle, a circlip plier to pull out the clip that holds the sealed bearing in place and probably a mallet and some kind of punch (a Philips head screwdriver will work) to knock the sealed cartridge bearing.
There are several kits available. We carry rebuild kits for Candy, Mallet, and the classic Egg Beater pedals (2003 to present). Each kit comes with instructions and parts to rebuild the internals on one pair of pedals. Included are two ball bearing cartridges, two composite bushings, two reinforced lip seals, and two end caps.
