Railroad shipping: AAR reports carload and intermodal volumes up for week ending October 9
October 15, 2010
Railroad volumes for the week ending October 9 remained consistent with previously solid weeks and were up year-over-year, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume at 297,029 was up 8.8 percent year-over-year. This was down slightly compared to the week ending October 2, which hit 299,394 carloads and the week ending September 25 at 300,908 carloads and the week ending September 18 at 304,679 carloads.
Carload volume in the East was up 4.7 percent year-over-year Out West, carloads were up 11.6 percent year-over-year.
In October 2009, the AAR began reporting weekly rail traffic with year-over-year comparisons for the previous two years, due to the fact that the economic downturn was in full effect at this time a year ago, and global trade was bottoming and economic activity was below current levels. With this week's release, the AAR said it will no longer include 2008 annual comparisons in its week volume releases, because "October 2008 marked the beginning of the recession-related downturn in rail traffic."
Even with the railroads in recovery mode, current volumes are still roughly 15 percent below the peak, and annual gains occurring in 2010 are against a 2009 which has been described as the worst year for railroad traffic since deregulation, according to industry analysts.
Intermodal, which has been gaining strength for a sustained period, hit 232,272 trailers and containers for the week ending October 9, falling below the week ending October 2 at 240,252 trailers and containers for a 13.1 percent yearly increase. This fell short of the week ending September 25 at 241,167—a 2010 high.
Container volume at 201,504 was up 13.1 percent, and trailer volume at 34,768 was up 7.4 percent.
Intermodal marketing company executives say that shippers are turning to intermodal more as a cost-effective and efficient alternative to trucking. But he cautioned that as volumes increase, railroads and IMC's need to focus on maintaining high service levels for shippers.
Year-to-date, total U.S. carload volumes at 11,425258 carloads are up 7.2 percent year-over-year. Trailers or containers at 8,658,978 are up 14.7 percent year-over-year.
Of the 19 carload commodities tracked by the AAR, 15 were up year-over-year. Metallic ores were up 199.7 percent.
Weekly rail volume was estimated at 33.8 billion ton-miles, a 9.4 percent year-over-year increase. And total volume year-to-date at 1,257.8 billion ton-miles was up 8.4 percent year-over-year.

Fat of the land: March is an important month for lifestyle mags - usually the major pubs ship out their "Spring Preview" issues, fat with fashion pages and, hopefully, advertisers with product to show and money to burn. The archaic TENNIS magazine makes sure it doesn't miss that boat and attempts to stay relevant with this editorial featuring major fashion labels Shipley & Halmos, Trovata, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Band of Outsiders, Y-3, American Apparel, + Superga.
While the images are beautiful and the clothing stylish, where are the true sports labels? Is Marc Jacobs or Trovata, for that matter, advertising with the magazine?? It seems pretty ballsy for TENNIS magazine to completely ignore real sports brands in a feature editorial at a time when ad dollars are few and far between these days. Plus, who exactly does TENNIS mag think it's readers are when they feature this type of spread?
Biting the hand that feeds - now that's a great marketing strategy!

TENNIS mag's ill-fated attempt at relevancy, boots sports labels for fashion brands
Labels: advertising, fashion, magazines, media, Tennis magazine
3 comments:
Hey Rich: in defense of the editorial, they also included Lacoste, Fila, Ralph Lauren, and adidas by Stella McCartney -- all tennis mainstays -- in the shoot. I chose to omit since I already talk about all those brands all the time.ReplyDelete
thanks for the update erwin - but still, who do they think they're speaking to in this editorial? tennis mag is so stale and uninteresting that it seems like a "quick fix" when the brand itself needs an overhaul!ReplyDelete
Agreed. However, featuring the upscale brands helps them go after luxury brands in other categories: Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Piaget; Jaguar, BMW; Moet&Chandon, Grey Goose; Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc, etc. When they feature the mainstays editorially, the upscale brands won't entertain a sales call because they're "just a tennis magazine." It's a bit of a catch 22 - you don't want to bite the hand that feeds but you also don't want to pigeonhole yourself.ReplyDelete

Again, great client. I've got our main postfix install sending to my local account and my zimbra account and I am using zimbra entirely with very few problems thus far. A bug or two and a request or two:
-Bug: When in the calendar, and I try to edit an event, once or twice a day the event never opens, and I have a circle-slash icon and have to reload the browser. Just seems to crash the instance, or at least halt it.
-Request: I saw the screenshots of the shared cals, I assume that is in the next milestone before thanksgiving (hopefully)
-Request: The tab key. When composing, I can tab from the address fields down to the Subject, but then have to put the cursor on the message body and click there. Tab seems to go around and around and eventually will get the message body.
-Request: Spell check (looks as though this is on the way)
-Request: docs to integrate this with our current ldap dir, postfix/courier, and database. I know, not for a while, I think if I say it enough, maybe it will just show up :-) Do you see a port for solaris 9 or 10? as we are a solaris shop.
Thanks for all your work. Who is behind this again? Former BEA CTO and others? How is this profitable at the present time or is the plan to license? Our CEO doesn't believe me when I told him this is free. He's of the windoze mentality and does not understand the open source concept.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The Phoenix Suns haven't had great success at
the start of this season, but proved once again they can never be counted out
of a game.
Goran Dragic scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half and overtime as the
Suns overcame a 19-point third-quarter deficit to rally for a thrilling
111-108 victory over the New Orleans Hornets at U.S. Airways Center.
Phoenix trailed 74-55 just past the midway point of the third quarter, then
dominated the next 12 minutes to build an 11-point lead, only to squander it
as the Hornets forced overtime with an 18-7 tear capped by Greivis Vasquez's
game-tying 3-pointer with 17.8 seconds left in regulation.
New Orleans ran out of gas in the extra session, however, failing to score
until the final minute in its second straight outing without No. 1 overall
pick Anthony Davis.
Phoenix, on the other hand, has made a habit out of closing strong. The Suns
have been down by double digits in seven of their eight home games this
season, and have prevailed in four of those tests.
Markieff Morris established a career-high with 23 points and knocked down a
back-breaking 3-pointer with 49.9 remaining in overtime to help Phoenix notch
its second consecutive victory, with P.J. Tucker also setting a personal best
with 15 points off the bench.
The Hornets were dealt their sixth consecutive defeat despite career
performances from Vasquez and Ryan Anderson.
Anderson poured in 34 points while knocking down 8-of-13 shots from beyond the
arc, with Vasquez racking up 25 points and 14 assists.

In the summer of 2010, Huntington-Whiteley was suddenly on Hollywood's radar when rumors started flying that she was on the short list of actresses to replace Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the third installment of the blockbuster action film, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Fox, who starred in both of the film's previous releases, reportedly left the franchise on her own volition. But insiders claimed that she left due to growing friction between her and the film's director Michael Bay, whom the actress allegedly likened to a tyrant on set. Shortly after news of Fox's departure broke, talks turned to whom the likely replacement would be. Aside from Huntington-Whiteley - who ... Continue Bio >>

Dear Editor:
In your front page article (Oct. 7) about the great Myer School piano debacle, Superintendent Padalino asserts, "Hopefully the taxpayers will understand." Frankly, I don't, and I do not know many who do.
As a Myer parent, I can attest to how detrimental this matter has been to our students and school community, and to the lack of communication on part of the Kingston school district administration.
The incident occurred before the end of last school year. We only heard rumors from our children. Then, JoEllen Gibbons was placed in the school as "interim principal." It took days for a letter to come home even telling us who was in charge of our children.
Four months have passed and the matter is still under investigation. We have yet another new principal. No explanation of the piano situation was ever provided; the mantra "it's a personnel matter" has been the answer, over and over.
Yes, we realize there are unions involved, and procedures to be followed, but how presumptuous to assume we taxpayers will understand, especially when there has been zero communication?
More and more schools are closing, staff is being laid off, programs are being cut, and Dr. Smith is sitting home, pulling in a six-figure salary, plus benefits, doing nothing, as we taxpayers/parents are being asked to do more and more.
In recent high-profile cases in Kingston, those accused of serious indiscretions were suspended without pay. Is the principal's union that much stronger that the Kingston police and firefighters unions? Really? Would it have anything to do with the fact that the accused is a woman and a minority? One cannot help but wonder.
Your article goes onto explain that the piano was moved because Lambeth-Smith felt "it was in the way." So the logical place to move it would be to her home? Didn't anyone ask the questions that begged to be asked? Didn't anyone feel compelled to ask a supervisor? The handling of this entire situation defies logic.
I understand that the superintendent reports to the school board, and the school board reports to the taxpayers. Why were the police not involved and charges pressed? No one has ever stepped up to answer that. What an insult to the family of Hattie Drake, the long-time lunch monitor who graciously donated the piano to the school.
Try explaining that to our elementary schoolers who come home asking why there are no consequences for their principal.

Classic Truck Grilles - 1953-56 F-100 Spotter's Guide With A Grille Install Thrown In - TechWritten by on October 13, 2010 The expression "time flies" takes on a whole new meaning when you realize it's been more than seven years since Ford Motor Company celebrated its 100th birthday: June 16, 2003.
The expression "time flies" takes on a whole new meaning when you realize it's been more than seven years since Ford Motor Company celebrated its 100th birthday: June 16, 2003. It was at the 50-year mark when the company's celebration of its Golden Jubilee coincided with the introduction of the F-100 series on March 13, 1953. To commemorate the 50th, 1953 Ford trucks came equipped with a special 50th anniversary horn button. In the world of customizing classic trucks where a stock steering wheel can get pitched faster than a major league baseball the odds of correctly determining the year of a fat-fendered F-100 tend to be a little difficult. Beyond a distinctive horn button there are numerous other features that can be used to identify or disguise the year and model of a first-generation Ford F-100.
At the heart of things is the vehicle identification number (VIN) that is stamped on top of the passenger-side framerail in front of the firewall. A matching VIN stamped on an aluminum tag attached with four Phillips head screws to the front of the driver-side door jamb. The first digits of the VIN indicate the truck style. F10 indicated the truck was an F-100.
The single letter following the truck style indicates the engine code. For '53-56 models, the letter D represented the 215-inch OHV six-cylinder engine that debuted in 1952 and ceased in 1953 when the 223-inch six-cylinder derived from the 215 was introduced. The last year a flathead six-cylinder was factory installed in a Ford pickup was 1953. That engine started production in 1941 with 226 inches and ended life with 226 inches; the VIN code was M. In the United States the 239-inch Ford flathead V-8 saw 1953 as its last year of production, and in Canada in 1954. The '53 F-100 engine code for the flathead V-8 was the letter R. In 1954 the optional V-8 engine's displacement remained at 239 cubic inches, but it was the first year for the OHV Y-block engine, a complete redesign, and the VIN code was the letter V. In 1955 the Y-block V-8 VIN letter changed to Z, and the optional V-8 engine's displacement was upped to 256 cubic inches.
Introduced on September 23, 1955 the slight styling revisions executed on the '56 cab ushered in what was to become the most iconic Ford F-100 ever produced-the most iconic of all classic trucks, actually. In addition to an all-new wraparound windshield, the '56 cab featured a lower roofline and offered an optional big rear window for the first time. Inside, the dashboard design was totally restyled.
Another first for 1956 was the availability of three states of tune for the new 272-inch Y-block V-8 option. The base, light-duty 272 came with a two-barrel carb and small-valve heads and had a V in the VIN engine code. The heavy-duty 272 was equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and big-valve heads and came with a Z in the VIN. At the top of the performance ladder was the R-code 272-inch Y-block that came with big-valve heads and a Holley four-barrel carburetor.
For the folks interested in knowing whether or not their '56 Ford Big-Window is an all-original truck, it might come as a disappointment to know the Big-Window option wasn't designated in the VIN with a special code letter. Although '53-55 Ford F-100s didn't have an external numerical emblem to proclaim the engine size, they did come with an emblem on the grille to denote whether the engine was a six-cylinder or V-8. In 1956 the newly designed grille was void of an emblem if a D-code 223-inch six-cylinder engine powered the truck. If the truck had any one of the three 272-inch Y-block engines available under the hood, a chrome-plated V8 emblem was bolted to the grille's center.
This brings us to one of the most common reverse upgrades done to customize a '56 Ford F-100 since the trucks first hit the showroom floors. There were two ways that a V-8 powered '56 could end up with the cleaner appearing six-cylinder grille. In the early days when the trucks were new, or near new, typically the owner bought a base model six-cylinder truck, and then swapped-in a Cadillac, Oldsmobile, or Buick engine. In the case of a '56 that left the factory equipped with a 272, the trick was to round up a six-cylinder grille and stuff it in. Of course the proper terminology is to install it, and that's what we're going to do here on my Y-block powered '56 Big-Window.

The lack of a V8 emblem on a '56 F-100 grille indicates a six-cylinder engine. A chrome-plated grille was included with the Custom Cab option.The three holes above the V8 emblem on this '53 F-100 standard grille were factory drilled for a Fordomatic emblem. The Ford-O-Matic transmission was first offered on March 13, 1953. A Deluxe '53 grille had three vertical teeth on each side of the V8 or six-cylinder star emblem.The '54 F-100 grille featured vertical bars similar in shape to the turn signal pods on either side. The chrome hash marks on both sides of the V8 emblem indicate a Deluxe model.Hash mark free, a standard '54 F-100 grille would have only a V8, or a six-cylinder star emblem in the center.I was tempted to keep this '56 six-cylinder Custom Cab grille from Dennis Carpenter as an adornment to the desk in my office.This '55 F-100 grille has the six-cylinder star used from 1953-55. The eight chrome-plated carriage bolts were installed by this truck's owner after the stock stainless steel moldings present on all '55 grilles were removed. Notice the Overdrive emblem on the hood. If an F-100 came with Overdrive it will be indicated on the VIN tag.On a stock '55 a V8 emblem all by itself, indicates either a three-speed column shift or a compound four-speed with a Y-block engine, and will be indicated on the VIN. 1955 was the first year for the Custom Cab option indicated with a Custom Cab emblem on the doors.A chrome grille with a V8 emblem, and a Fordomatic script on the hood indicate a 272-inch Y-block with an automatic trans. If factory equipped, an automatic transmission will be indicated on the VIN tag.
The front end on my Raven Black '56 Big-Window is exactly as it came from the factory. I prefer the cleaner look of the six-cylinder Custom Cab grille, so this V8 emblem is history. A standard '56 F-100 grille came painted off-white.The first step to swap a '53-56 grille is to remove the turn-signal lens and bezels held with two Philips screws.With the headlight rings pulled forward and removed, access was gained to remove the headlight buckets.Disconnecting the original headlight wires caused the insulation to disintegrate, and expose bare wire.Once the headlight wires were marked so they could be properly reinstalled the headlight buckets were removed.The grille is held in place with three 1/4-28-inch bolts. Two of them are seen here at 7 and 3 o'clock.This is the third 1/4-28-inch bolt located at 11 o-clock. Before unbolting, all of the 1/4-28s were soaked with Royal Purple Maxfilm penetrating spray.
Access to the three bolts is gained from inside the fenderwell. Notice how the Maxfilm has soaked through to the other side, proving this stuff really penetrates!One thing leads to another. Further disconnection of the original headlight wiring has disintegrated a lot more insulation, and created a dangerous situation where an electrical fire is probable.I'm not making another move from here until after I have rewired this truck. To install the new grille, reverse the steps we took to remove the old grille.As long as the grille is out, it's a good time to clean all of those hard-to-get-to areas with Mothers Carnuba Cleaner wax.The grille opening on '53-56 Ford F-100s is exactly the same, so any year fat-fender F-100 can be fitted with Dennis Carpenter's Custom Cab, six-cylinder grille. For those wanting to retain the stock appearance of a V-8 optioned truck, Dennis Carpenter manufactures reproduction V8 emblems at its location in Concord, North Carolina.

Utah set a school record for APR success in 2012-13
June 11, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA announced its multi-year Academic Performance Report (APR) for NCAA Division I schools today and the University of Utah set a school record for APR success.
The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation of all student-athletes on scholarship, and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
The latest multi-year APR calculations include scores from 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12, and the average for Utah's teams was 981—bettering its previous record of 978 set last year and easily exceeding the NCAA minimum requirement of 925 (930 to be eligible for postseason competition).
Utah's women's gymnastics team was recognized by the NCAA for a multi-year APR that ranks in the top 10-percent of all Division I gymnastics teams. The gymnasts earned a perfect 1000 multi-year APR to tie for first in the Pac-12 with Arizona and California. Women's cross country (994) tied for second in the Pac-12, while football (963) ranked third.
The gymnastics team was one of six Utah sports to achieve a perfect 1000 APR in 2011-12. The others were men's golf, men's swimming, men's tennis, women's cross country and women's tennis.
Ten Utah teams saw increases in their multi-year scores from a year ago: men's skiing (+22), women's skiing (+11) women's indoor and outdoor track (+7), volleyball (+6), baseball (+6), men's basketball (+5), gymnastics (+5), men's swimming (+3) and cross-country (+1).

Is there a zimbra-approved way of configuring a maximum number of recipients per message?
For example, spammer/salesman tries to email his latest leaflet to every email address he has ever seen - spammer adds 50000 recipients to his email and sends it off. Salesman then calls to ask why emails are coming back with "blocked" RBL errors.
Im pretty sure "smtpd_recipient_limit" in postfix does this fine, but should a zimbra tool be used to add this, or is it ok to just wade into main.cf and edit? This is currently set to 1000 (postfix default afaik) which for this situation is too much.
Thanks for any tips etc!

Thursday Afternoon News, Oct. 25
Plymouth County Crime Stoppers Investigating Two Burglaries
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County Crime Stoppers are investigating two separate burglaries that occurred in Le Mars on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. At about 1:00 p.m. the resident at 49 Oak Street in Le Mars reported a robbery to her residence. An unknown male knocked on the door, displaying a handgun and demanding money. The victim gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash and he fled the area. The offender was described as a white male in his early twenties wearing a white shirt with ripped jeans. The second burglary was reported this morning at 9:00 a.m. when someone apparently had broken into the Monterrey's Restaurant on Busines Highway 75. Sometime during the night-time hours an
unknown suspect used force to gain entry into the business. Once inside, an undisclosed amount of cash was taken. Similar burglaries were reported in Cherokee during this same time span. Anyone with information regarding either of the crimes is encouraged to call the Le Mars Police Department or Crime Stoppers at (712) 548-4968.
Judge To Rule On Sioux City Casino Next Week
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A judge says he expects to rule early next week on a breach-of-contract lawsuit involving a casino in Sioux City.
Judge Robert Hanson heard arguments Wednesday afternoon in Polk County. They came from lawyers for Penn National Gaming, whose subsidiary operates the Argosy riverboat casino, and Missouri River Historical Development, the nonprofit group that holds the state gambling license.
Penn National's attorneys say the historical development group has violated a contract signed in June. The group says the contract hasn't been approved by state regulators and isn't valid.
Penn National wants a temporary injunction to keep the group from partnering with another casino operator that would run a land-based casino in Sioux City.
Sioux City Man Pleads Not Guilty To Robbing Bank
SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (AP) - An Iowa man has pleaded not guilty to a federal charge that he robbed a bank in northeast Nebraska.
The Sioux City Journal says (http://bit.ly/WozpKb) 67-year-old Max Lafferty, of Sioux City, Iowa, made his plea Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Omaha.
Lafferty is accused of robbing a Bank of the West branch in South Sioux City on Sept. 11. Police say he flashed a steak knife when he demanded cash from a bank worker and left the building with
about $1,500. He was arrested about a block away.
Lafferty originally was charged in Dakota County Court, but the state case was dismissed after the federal charge was filed.
Pheasant Hunting Season Starts Saturday
(Boone) -- Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say pheasant hunters should see an increase of birds this year. Pheasant hunting begins on Saturday, and according to Todd Bogenschutz, Game Biologist with the DNR, pheasant numbers are up about 16 percent.
Listen to
Bogenschutz says some habitat may have been jeopardized due to landowners making hay from grasslands because of the summer drought, but he says the best pheasant hunting will likely be located in northwestern and northern Iowa.
Listen to
The DNR Biologist says new this year is the I-HAP program.
Listen to
Bogenschutz says hunters can view the DNR website to locate the I-HAP acres. Hunting regulations are the same, with shooting hours between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and a bag limit of three roosters.
Missouri River Flooding Will Cost Council Bluffs $4.5 Million
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Council Bluffs officials say the Missouri River flooding last year will cost the city about $4.5 million.
Finance director Art Hill told The Daily Nonpareil that the city's total estimated cost for dealing with the 2011 flooding is expected to be $19.4 million.
The city's portion includes its required 15 percent share of costs eligible for federal assistance, as well as $1.9 million in costs that were not eligible for assistance. The state and federal governments are paying the rest of the bills.
The costs include infrastructure repairs, debris removal and the purchase and demolition of structures damaged by high water.
Hill says Council Bluffs won't have to raise taxes to pay flood bills, because the money will come from what he says is the city's healthy general fund.
State Audit Critical Of U of I Medical Clinics
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A state audit has criticized financial controls at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics because of alleged misuse of more than $272,000 by an employee.
The audit says 35-year-old Jennifer Whitmore-Meier, an information technology support specialist, got irregular reimbursements for purchases and travel. The audit also says that between December 2002 and January 2012, Whitmore-Meier used department money to buy equipment that she resold.
The audit says her department wasn't managed "in a fiscally responsible manner."
The audit says the university put Whitmore-Meier on paid leave in November 2011 pending the investigation. She left for good two months later. A home phone listing for her could not be found.
Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness says her office is reviewing the audit to determine whether criminal charges should be filed.
Regents Considering "Freezing" Tuition Costs
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Members of the board that governs Iowa's three public universities are supporting a proposal to freeze tuition for in-state undergraduate students next year.
The Iowa Board of Regents discussed plans Thursday in Iowa City to keep tuition at $6,678 at the University of Iowa and $6,648 at Iowa State University and the University of Iowa.
Final approval is expected in December, and regents said they could later impose a tuition hike if lawmakers do not approve their request for a 2.6 percent increase in funding.
The board also approved a plan that would allow universities to phase out the controversial practice of using tuition revenue to provide grants and scholarships to students.
The plan requires universities to raise more private money and lawmakers to create a new financial aid program.
Traffic Cameras Being Studied At Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines officials say they need more data to determine whether the traffic cameras at five intersections have made motoring safer in the city.
The cameras were installed 16 months ago, and the officials say that they need four more years of data to reach conclusions on the cameras' safety effectiveness and whether more intersections should be similarly equipped.
Des Moines Police Chief Judy Bradshaw has said the cameras would be a worthwhile investment if driver behavior were to change.
The newspaper says two of the intersections have had a substantial drop in the number of tickets issued during the cameras' first year of operation. At the three other intersections,
changes in driver behavior were negligible.

Why did you join MEChA? I wanted to be part of a social justice group that did not limit itself to one area. MEChA knows that immigration is connected to education, to poverty, to voting rights, etc. It is hard to find such all-encompassing student groups!
What other activities are you involved in aside from MEChA? At Yale, I am also part of FAIR College Counseling, Oye spoken word, and hope to get involved with the Women's Center. I am trying to keep in contact with the groups I'm part of at home: Students for a Democratic Society, Occupy Education, and others.
What is your favorite experience with MEChA? I've really enjoyed the weekly boycott of Gourmet Heaven over wage theft – it's the most visible project MEChA's done so far this year and it's great to see the direct effect it is having. Also, I like freaking people out and there's plenty of opportunities for that on a picket line.

(DtL! contributor Jimmy takes a look at the year's second major and offers insight into the big stories to watch out for on the men's side. I'll be taking a peak at the ladies so check back tomorrow for that preview. Take it away Jimmy!)
Another intense clay court season comes to a close with the grand daddy of 'em all: the French Open! The obvious question here is whether or not Rafael Nadal will be able to continue his dominant streak and win a fourth consecutive title. As always, Roger Federer is breathing down his neck (although he's dealing with a few issues of his own) and Novak Djokovic has emerged as a top contender for the title as well. Let's take a look...
It's been a given that Rafa owns the terra bateau but not much else, thanks to Federer's dominance on every other surface. But the Spaniard has prevented R-Fed from a complete domination of the men's game, stopping the world no. 1 from achieving a calendar grand slam in 2006 and 2007. For years people assumed the Swiss would just naturally fall from grace and cede the #1 position to Rafa, who is several years his junior. Judging by Fed's game recently, it appears 2008 could be the year it happens.
But not so fast! That young whippersnapper Novak Djokovic has become a serious threat to the established order. The Serb came within one set of taking the #2 spot away from Nadal in the Hamburg semifinal this year. And he's already come up with big wins in Melbourne, Indian Wells, and Rome so far in 2008. Suddenly, instead of patiently waiting for Federer to stumble from his perch, Rafa is in a tight three-way race for #1, and youth is no longer on his side, with Nole a full year younger than him.
It's been a tough few months for Nadal. The Mallorcan matador had to defend a ridiculous amount of points during the clay court season, and now more than ever the pressure is on to be the best. However, despite Nole's ascension I still think Rafa has a lot of life in him, and he may not even have peaked yet. He always turns it up when the going gets tough, and I still pick him to win the title this year, but his road to the top may be bumpier than ever.
Speaking of bumpy roads, no one has had it tougher than Federer. He's only picked up a single title this year: the Estoril Open in Portugal. The last several years Fed has felt the pressure of winning the French Open and completing a career Grand Slam. But ironically, losing the Aussie Open means the pressure of the Slam could be off this year. Plus, he's been picking up his game considerably since the win in Portugal. Could this be Fed's year at Roland Garros?
Of course, the ATP doesn't revolve around the top three players, as much as it may seem. There are more than a few stories to keep an eye on during the next two weeks in Paris:
Can the always-reliable Nikolay Davydenko maintain his game this year and finally contend for the title? (He reached the semifinals in 2005 and 2007).
Can any of the up-and-coming players make an impression? I think Stanislas Wawrinka has a decent shot. He made it to the semis in Barcelona and the final of Rome.
And what about the sad case of Frenchie Richard Gasquet? He's having a terrible year and has been threatening to skip the tournament, to the disappointment (or is that delight?) of the French fans.
Who do you think are the top picks + darkhorses on the boys side?
Like the ladies? Click here for their preview.

That Jimmy kid, he's so smart. ;-)ReplyDelete
If Novak is on Fed's side of the draw and makes it to the final, he'll never make it five sets against Rafa. I would like to see Ferrer make a good run here, Moya and Guga too even though that might be reaching deep. Still, it's not impossible.ReplyDelete
Rafa all the way though.

A town in the east is saying farewell to a firefighter and a police officer who together have served a community nearly a century.
Chief Thomas Townsend is the oldest volunteer fire chief to retire from the Wallace Fire Department in Duplin County after 59.5 years. At 85-years-old, he says being a fireman was always in his blood and it's the people he's worked with over the years that kept him there for so long. Down the hall at the Wallace Police Department, 80-year-old Willa Currie is finishing up her last full week of work. She's the oldest female police officer in the state. She's not out on the street, but she's still a sworn officer who's been going through the same service training and qualifications as the guys on the streets since 1975. The chief says they'll find someone for her job but no one will ever really replace her.
"She's definitely once in a lifetime. If you're lucky enough to have one of them you're luckier then most people. I don't think nobody's lucky enough to find two of them in a lifetime," said Wallace Police Department Chief Bobby Maready.

Energy options explored
(LE MARS)-- Does it make sense to put up a wind turbine to offset your energy bill? Should you rent your land to others so they can put up turbines? What's going on with solar energy? Is it more cost effective than wind? These were some of the questions answered at Wind and Solar Energy Conference, hosted by Plymouth County Extension Wednesday.
Bill Haman, Industrial Program Manager for the Iowa Energy Center, was one of the featured speakers. He told the crowd of over 160 people that wind is a great natural resource for Iowa because the expanses of farmland in the state allow for shorter, and therefore less expensive, turbines.
Listen here
Average annual wind speeds across Iowa have a large range from less than 12 mph in the northeast, to up to 18 mph in the northwest. In the winter and spring that range increases to 18 mph averages in the northeast, to 27-30 mph averages in the northwest. In the summer it decreases drastically.
Haman says the inconsistency of the wind from season to season poses a problem.
Listen here
For that reason, government incentives and subsidies are in place to help grow the wind industry.
With the wind being so strong in this corner of the state, why aren't there more wind farms? Haman says that most wind farms are located in north central Iowa because they can easily attach to a grid to transmit the energy to areas with higher populations. However, the largest wind farm in the state is located in Storm Lake, with 257 turbines.
Continue to listen to KLEM in the coming days for more details from yesterdays Wind and Solar Energy Conference.
(Le Mars) -- When it comes to renewable energy resources, solar is a hot item. Bill Haman, Industrial Program Manager for the Iowa Energy Center, says that solar, not wind, may be the best option right now for those looking to offset their energy consumption.
Listen here
The raw material that goes into solar cells is poly silicon , the same material that is used to make computer chips. Just a few years ago, China ramped up production of poly silicon , creating a bigger supply which made the price go down. Haman says the recession, as it relates to Europe, is the other reason solar energy is becoming more affordable.
Listen here
The sun delivers enough energy to this earth in one hour to power the entire world population for a year. Haman marvels at the possibilities that leads to.
Listen here
The average home uses 900 kilowatt hours a month, which would require a 7.7 kilowatt system over a year, so at a thousand dollars per watt, we're talking over 7 million dollars for one home.
Not so overly priced are the solar panels on the market now that have efficiency ratings from 5-19%. Current pricing per watt for an installed panel is five to six dollars. This means that the average cost for an average home would be about $40,000 for a solar system. Right now, small wind turbines are going up for $50-60,000.
For detailed information about renewable energy including grants and funding and calculators to help you figure out what kind of systems might work for you visit www.energy.iastate.edu.
(LE MARS) -- Students from Spirit Lake and Western Iowa Tech college, farmers, representatives from electric companies and the USDA, along with others, gathered Wednesday to learn about alternate energy resources at the Wind and Solar Energy Conference at the Le Mars Convention Center.
Part of the discussion was geared toward home and farm owners who are looking to use wind energy to power their household and farming operations. Bill Haman, Industrial Program Manager for the Iowa Energy Center, says the best places to put a turbine are on hilltops, ridge lines and windward slopes. Keeping them away from trees and buildings, or at least higher than them, is important to keep the turbines out of turbulence .
Listen here
Before you put up a turbine, there is a lot of background research to be done to decide what size you need. Haman says there's something you should do even before you get to that point.
Listen here
That's what Paul Rekow did. He told conference attendees how he first made his home as energy efficient as possible with a ground source heat pump system, energy efficient windows and appliances, compact fluorescent bulbs...the list goes on and on. He then monitored how many watts the household used per month, and installed solar panels and a small turbine onto his property.
Rekow is currently producing more energy than he's using. He is also a small wind advocate that helps others get started and protect them from unreputable installers.
Listen here
Rekow recommends The Iowa Energy Center's website to anyone thinking about renewable energy options. That website is www.energy.iastate.edu.

I have been talking with people and read various online posts, and sometimes I hear the following: "My vote doesn't matter."
We only have to look back to the last election cycle to prove that your vote does matter.
The vote difference in the 2010 Colorado Senate race came down to seven votes per precinct in Colorado.
At our local, state and federal levels the election comes down to this simple question: Do you want more government control or more personal freedom (and responsibility)?
Mail-in ballots are going out this week, and early voting starts next week. You can request a mail-in ballot and find early voting locations at www.GoVoteColorado.com or call the county clerk's office for more information.
Make sure your vote counts!
