TransCore data shows strong spot market growth continuing
TransCore's North American Freight Index for June 2010 showed a whopping112 percent increase in spot market freight availability compared to the same time period last year.
July 21, 2010
Even though various freight- and economic-related indices have lost steam in recent weeks, one which continues to chug along is the TransCore North American Freight Index.
TransCore reported in its index this week that spot market freight availability in June was up 112 percent year-over-year. And in the second quarter it was up 60 percent compared to the first quarter and up 331 percent compared to the second quarter in 2009.
And overall load volume from May to June fell 11 percent, with flatbeds taking a dip after five consecutive months of strong volume growth, according to TransCore. The company added that dry and refrigerated van loads were up 2 percent from May to June. What's more, TransCore reported that North America-based 3PLs, carriers, and owner-operators are on pace to list more than 60 million loads this year.
"Basically, the scenario people are looking at right now is that we are seeing some unprecedented variation in the marketplace," said Mike Regan, president and chairman of the board at TranzAct Technologies. "But from the last week of June through the first two weeks in July, truckload market activity was down significantly."
In terms of how much it fell, Regan cited an example of a story told to him at a recent industry conference in which he learned a flatbed carrier had 7 loads for every available piece of flatbed equipment. But a few weeks later that ratio had shrank to 2.5-to-3 loads for every available piece of equipment.
This sequence, explained Regan, indicates that carriers have continued to reduce capacity, which is helping to drive large year-over-year spot market availability and rates, coupled with a trying 2009 in which volumes and rates plummeted. And while other trucking indices like the American Trucking Association's monthly tonnage index and the Cass Index provide detail on what overall demand looks like, the gains in tonnage and demand they show are not up nearly as much as the TransCore index.
The most recent TransCore data matches up well with the Truckload Spot Market Index from Avondale Partners, which was most recently updated in early June.
Avondale analyst Donald Broughton wrote in June that since the Avondale Truckload Spot Market Index went positive year-over-year in November 2009 for the first time in more than a year, the index continues to rise at a very impressive—in fact, record setting—rate.
The Avondale report stated that its index continued to show steady improvement on a three-month average basis, coming in at a 253 percent increase in May, which was down slightly from April's 260 percent gain. Despite the significant increases, Broughton noted that the year-over-year strength is somewhat exaggerated by the severe weakness in last year's index.
"The result suggests that in the spot market, the ratio of the number of loads available versus the number of trucks available has improved so dramatically that contract market pricing has to move up materially," wrote Broughton.

Assessing Your Students' Outcomes
Center for Faculty Development
One Washington Square
San Jose, CA 95192
Of late, in the wake of No Child Left Behind and its successor legislation, "assessment" has become something of a vilified construct. Students, teachers and the public as a whole have become weary of testing run amok. But it is critically important to be able to see whether one's students are actually learning what we set out to help them learn. And it is critically important to be able to provide timely and useful feedback to students about where they are succeeding and where they still have work to do.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Four games against 2011 NCAA Tournament participants and nine home games at the East Carolina Soccer Stadium highlight the 2012 ECU women's soccer schedule, revealed by 14th-year coach Rob Donnenwirth Friday.
"I feel we put together a very competitive schedule," Donnenwirth said. "Obviously Notre Dame and South Carolina jump out in our non-conference slate, but most of the other teams have made it to the NCAA Tournament in the last three years. Our conference schedule seems to get tougher every year. Memphis has proven to be the team to beat, but I believe that we have a very balanced league where every game is tough."
After an exhibition road at home against Coastal Carolina on Aug. 10, the Pirateswill kick off the 2012 campaign on the road at Campbell on Aug. 17, before playing their first home match against former Colonial Athletic Association foe Old Dominion (Aug. 22). ECU will then hit the road for the first of four games against 2011 NCAA participants when they travel to South Bend, Ind. to square off against 2010 National Champion Notre Dame (Aug. 26).
The Pirates will then play their next three matches at home hosting Davidson (Aug. 31), Charlotte (Sept. 3) and High Point (Sept. 6) before going back on the road against 2011 NCAA participant South Carolina (Sept. 9) and instate rival UNC Wilmington (Sept. 16).
Conference USA action for the Pirates starts at home in 2012 when they play host to UTEP (Sept. 21) and Colorado College (Sept. 23) on Parent's Weekend. Other home games for ECU in 2012 include: SMU (Oct. 12), Tulsa (Oct. 14) and Marshall (Oct. 25), which has been tabbed as Senior Day.
The conference road opener is set for Sept. 28 against the two-time C-USA Tournament champions, Memphis Tigers. Other league road games consist of UAB (Sept. 30), Houston (Oct. 5), Rice (Oct. 7), 2011 NCAA participant UCF (Oct. 19) and Southern Miss (Oct. 21).
The 2012 Conference USA Tournament is scheduled for Oct. 31-Nov. 4 in El Paso, Texas.

|Changes to the Phillips Co. Fair well received
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
As the 2009 Phillips County Fair came to an end this Sunday, July 26, Fair Board President Sherry Mari felt fairgoers left pleased with the changes to Fair. Although the biggest change—the new event center—has yet to be completed, smaller changes added new and exciting features to the Fair.
This year board members decided to charge $5 for all of the fair events, a change Mari noted was especially well received. "It encouraged people to come out and just enjoy the Fair," she said. At the various events throughout the week, Mari observed full grandstands, and she attributes that partially to the discounted rates.
Another change to the line-up this year was the addition of the pickup derby. Mari stated the derby had a good turn out, as people were interested in seeing something new. Even the combine derby, which is in its third year, feels new and exciting, and is still a major attraction at the Fair.
Kicking off Fair activities was the youth rodeo Wednesday, July 22. Area youth competed in various events including pole bending, barrel racing, flag racing and goat tying.
Thursday's entertainment featured country singer Lexi Moul. Many spectators commented they were impressed with the 18-year-old's 'big voice.'
Many were in attendance Friday night for the barbecue and talent show, which included singing, dancing and gymnastics. The stock car races that evening had a large crowd, but the event was cut short due to a nasty storm. The rest of the weekend, the temperatures were back up and the remainder of the events went off without a hitch.
The parade was the beginning of a full day of events Saturday. Several floats were entered in business, adult, youth and school categories, all touting the Fair theme 'Keepin' It Country.'
Throughout the day Saturday, Mari said she noticed many people milling about the fairgrounds, taking a look at the projects and animals. Saturday's events included the combine derby and pickup derby. There were also several children's activities including kids' races, a pedal tractor pull and a stick horse rodeo.
4-H and FFA members participated in the livestock sale Saturday afternoon. Mari noted, while numbers were down as expected, they appreciate the support from the community.
While festivities were winding down Sunday, some got in a few last moments at the fair. A community church service started the morning at Homesteaders Park, where guest Terri Tedford shared a message and music. The last event at the 2009 Fair was the antique tractor pull. The event brought in many drivers from throughout Colorado and Nebraska.
Phillips County Fair Board noted their appreciation of everyone's cooperation as they are still working around construction. This year will be the final year without an event center, and Mari noted they are all very excited for future years in the new building. They also look forward to continued success in the events that have recently been added to the schedule, and bringing a fair that is enjoyable for everyone in the county.
Full Fair coverage and competition results are included throughout this week and next week's edition of the Enterprise.

I got more than 20 emails this morning asking me what will be Nikon's surprise at PMA. I have no information about a potential surprise. Of course everything is possible, but I will not go into speculations at that point. The only report about a surprise was from Hiroshi Takashima and I think he is referring to the rumored Nikon EVIL system that is expected @ Photokina.

2-Ingredient Nutella Brownies, Bulgogi-Style Grilled Steak, Strawberry Orange Julius & a Vegetable Galette
New Recipes from The Kitchn
This week we were all about the super easy, delicious desserts and summer produce. If you're in the same boat (and who isn't), we've got some recipes for you to try ASAP. First things first: if you have eggs and Nutella, then you need to make brownies. No joke. They are amazing. If you're looking for something a little more seasonal, tackle the strawberry Orange Julius or icebox cake. And for dinner it's all about the vegetable galette or roasted salmon! Happy weekend, y'all.

The third step is to determine required support functions and personnel that, while not engaged in combat, actually man, train, and equip combat forces. This means evaluating every unit, school, billet (flag officers included), and staff to identify any that don't contribute directly to delivering kinetic or non-kinetic weapons.
Any function that does not deliver munitions, assist in delivering munitions, or support the man, train, and equip responsibilities for those missions is ancillary and should be the lowest priority. These include non-combat training, diversity programs, and superfluous educational programs, to name a few. Many are popular but exist only for their legacy or political considerations and, though some support the active, reserve, and retired communities, they do not contribute to service missions. We must determine which truly benefit service members and admit which are just politically expedient. Eventually the well will run dry and when it does, it is these ancillary activities we must be willing to let go.
Only after the preceding determinations are made should we consider current forces and where they fit, which need to be resized or reshaped, which to eliminate, and what must be created. This exercise must also identify the area where much of the necessary savings can be made—waste. Many ideas for making systems more efficient or identifying pure waste can come from junior personnel. The opinions of those closest to the deckplates are not always popular or heard, but that is where some of the best ideas reside, much more than from those further removed who typically see everything through a flow chart or PowerPoint.
The zero-based review described here requires deckplate sailors and Marines seated alongside others of diverse backgrounds, philosophies, and pay grades, constituting a working group undertaking a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive endeavor. And that group must be chartered to do its work while ignoring political considerations or the sacred cows of individual warfare communities.
In fact, those sanctified programs that suffer the least scrutiny may contain the most waste and offer the most savings. Any program that has heretofore been treated as a sacred cow—and there are many—may benefit from the fresh perspective brought by a true zero-based review.
To determine where we should and shouldn't spend money, and to identify true waste, we have to honestly look at every unit, every staff, and every school. It might be naïve to think this is at all palatable to current leadership or elected officials, but drastic fiscal times call for drastic measures. And what choice do we really have? This endeavor would not only identify savings but would serve as combat-focused, defendable justification for dwindling national resources.
Dictionary.com defines sacred cow as "an individual, organization, institution, etc., considered to be exempt from criticism or questioning." In debating how to build the future Navy-Marine Corps team, we must do difficult work, and we must agree there will be no sacred cows.

June 2013: The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i replaces the very short-lived Canon EOS 650D / T4i but is almost indistinguishable from it in terms of design, operation and specification. Our tests have found the image quality and performance of both cameras to be identical and they use the same batteries and accessories as well. Accordingly, this review is a very slightly modified version of the EOS 650 review we posted in the summer of 2012. We've retained product images of the EOS 650D where there's no meaningful change in design, and except where indicated, any comments in the body of this review which reference the Canon EOS 650D / T4i are equally relevant to the Canon EOS 700D / T5i and vis-versa.
The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i is the company's latest addition to its novice-oriented 'Rebel' series. With more than two decades of continuous success in its film and digital incarnations, these little SLRs have been improved and refined to the point that Canon's biggest challenge seems to be finding new ways to distinguish its updated models. Place the new EOS 700D / Rebel T5i alongside its predecessor the EOS 650D and the differences are so minimal to be of little real importance.
Differences compared to EOS 650D
- Real-time preview of Creative Filters in Live View mode
- Redesigned new mode dial that turns 360 degrees
- New 'upmarket' textured body finish.
As such, we're not going to waste much time in this review discussing the 700D alongside the 650D. As noted above, much of the substance of this review is adapted from our earlier coverage of its predecessor anyway. The EOS 700D replaces the short-lived EOS 650D but the EOS 600D lives on in the overall lineup, to effectively drop down a notch to the position currently occupied by the EOS 550D / Rebel T2i, which will be discontinued. So long, EOS 650D. We hardly knew you. We've known fruit flies live longer.
Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i key features
- 18MP APS-C 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor
- Phase detection AF from imaging sensor for Live View and Video
- Continuous autofocus in movie mode with subject tracking
- 14-bit DIGIC 5 processor
- ISO 100-12800 standard, 25600 expanded
- 5 fps continuous shooting
- 9 point AF system, all sensors cross type, central sensor F2.8 (from 60D)
- 63 zone iFCL metering
- 1080p30 video recording with built-in stereo mics
- 1.04m dot 3:2 touch-sensitive vari-angle ClearView II LCD (capacitive type, multi-touch support)
The 700D's headline specifications - 18MP CMOS sensor, 9-point AF sensor, 3:2 flip-out 1.04m dot screen are all familiar from the EOS 600D / Rebel T3i. Look a bit closer, however, and improvements have been made in each of these areas, with an eye both to more seasoned users who demand SLR performance and compact camera upgraders who want a familiar feeling interface.
It is largely because of the rise of large sensor mirrorless models that in today's market an entry-level DSLR must offer more than just high image quality to entice compact camera upgraders. In the age of YouTube, quick and easy access to video recording capability is a must. And for users that are far more familiar with composing via an LCD screen than a viewfinder, live view performance is of no small concern. Of course the camera must still offer users a path to a more traditional DSLR-like experience, without which, they would be hard pressed to resist the temptation of a physically smaller 'mirrorless' camera.
The EOS 650D was Canon's attempt to meet these challenges head on, with features aimed at improving its live view and video performance, which have been carried into the EOS 700D. One of the most noteworthy of these is the ability to offer continuous AF tracking while recording movies.
This is made possible by Canon's 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor that includes pixels dedicated to phase detection autofocus. The Hybrid AF system uses these to quickly set the lens to roughly the correct distance, then uses contrast detection AF to fine-tune focus. In theory, this should provide faster and more certain focusing for live view and video shooting compared to Canon models which rely on CDAF alone. You can read a more detailed explanation of this technology and see it in action on the AF performance page of the EOS 650D review.
The EOS 700D also features a touchscreen. This is of the capacitive (contact sensitive) rather than resistive (pressure sensitive) type, behaving like that of a typical smartphone. In Live View and Movie modes the screen can be used to specify the point of focus and (optionally) release the shutter. It also supports iPhone-like multi-touch and gestures. The rear screen has been redesigned with no air gap between the display and cover glass in an attempt to reduce reflections and improve visibility in bright light. There's also an anti-smudge coating which aims to reduce the impact of its newfound touch-sensitivity.
Other features of note
The EOS 700D uses Canon's DIGIC 5 processor (as seen in the S100 and G1 X compacts), which allows it to shoot at a maximum ISO sensitivity of 12,800 (25,600 extended), and allows lens-specific corrections for chromatic aberration and vignetting in the camera's JPEG processing. The 'conventional' autofocus system for eye-level shooting is borrowed from the EOS 60D, and uses nine focus points which are now all cross-type, with the center point offering additional accuracy with fast lenses.
The camera also has a built-in stereo microphone to provide sound for video, while retaining an external microphone input. The 'HDR Backlight' and 'Handheld Night Scene', modes combine multiple exposures to give a final processed image. A four-exposure 'Multi Shot Noise Reduction' setting is also available in the PASM modes.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens
Announced alongside the EOS 700D is the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens. With the camera itself offering little to distinguish itself from the EOS 650D, the option to buy the 700D with the new, stepper-motor-driven 18-55mm STM lens stands out as its main attraction. The lens offers better movie focusing and up to four stops of image stabilization, along with a close focusing distance of 0.25m and a circular seven-bladed aperture. An internal focus design means the lens does not extend when focusing. Optical performance remains essentially on par with its non-STM EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II cousin, however, as you can see in our lens comparison tool.
The STM designation is of particular interest to video shooters as it has the potential for quiet autofocus and improved AF speed. Those familiar with using just about any camcorder are accustomed to smooth and reasonably accurate autofocus, while the average SLR focuses slowly (indeed previous Rebels only focused when prompted by the user). Because an SLR can't use its phase-detect sensor while in Live View and video modes, the camera is usually left to struggle with contrast-detect autofocus. And, because non-STM lenses aren't designed with this focus method or for this purpose, the results were often jerky shifts in focus with focus motor noise audible on the video's sound track. Older Rebels were even known to gain up exposure during video if you asked them to focus.
The 700D is also available bundled with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, which offers an extended zoom range at a higher price. Canon's only other SLR lens with an STM motor is the EF 40mm F2.8 pancake. All are designed to take full advantage of the Hybrid AF system found in the EOS 650D, 700D and 100D, with quiet autofocus, helpful when shooting video, and full time manual focus.
|The EOS 700D's Hybrid AF system is designed to work optimally with Canon's three-lens STM lineup which consists of an 18-55mm, 18-135mm and fixed 40mm pancake lens.
|Compared to the previous EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, the STM version is slightly longer to accommodate the internal focus system, and has a 'proper' manual focus ring at the front of the barrel that drive the focus group electronically. As with the older design it's physically shortest in the middle of its zoom range, and extends on zooming either to 18mm or 55mm (click here for a comparison at 55mm).
The STM focus motor is extremely quiet, indeed inaudible in video recording and, when using the optical viewfinder, impressively fast, offering a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. But switch the camera to live view and, just like the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, it slows down significantly. This is a unfortunate - Canon's live view AF system still distinctly lags behind the competition.

Well, I've had this rifle for almost a year now, it got its first kills in Wyoming this past October. It was a graduation present from my parents.
270 WSM shooting 140grain Accubonds
- 24" Cut rifling barrel made by a guy out of Prescott, AZ
-Model 70 trigger and action set to 2.5lb pull
-McMillian Hunters Edge stock
-Just bought a 4x16 Bushnell Elite Scope, scope in picture is what I used in WY, 3x9 Burris I took off my .280
This thing really puts the hammer down on Muleys and Antelope.
One of the first loads I worked up for it, gonna tinker with the seating depth a little, still think I need to seat them a little lower off the lands, but not much.
Here's its first kill! 200 yards bedded down, he didn't get up.

A strange thing about belly button piercing is that it has more women takers than men. Ever wondered why? Also the men who get their navel pierced have to battle off strange stares and even stranger notions about them. Somehow, getting one's navel pierced isn't considered that manly.
Let's look into the reasons of such a trend.
- Navel piercing seems to be women's territory since the beginning. Everyone from top models to actresses, social butterflies and not to forget the trend setters – belly dancers have had their navel pierced. Perhaps it has something to with having a curvy waistline?
- There's another generalization that works against men having a navel piercing. It's always been beer bellies when it comes to men and belly buttons when it comes to women! 🙂
- Does hair make a difference? Women's stomach's aren't hairy so they have all the more reason to show them off with some bling. Well guys can wax it off as well but still a women's stomach is much smoother let's face it.
Well guys who think they can pull it off should go ahead and get it! We are not really sure about how will it be received but if you think you've got it then people would do too. And the girls can continue to flaunt their navel piercings as usual!

Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - Ryan White and Brendan Gallagher scored in a
53-second span early in the second period to lift the Montreal Canadiens past
the Ottawa Senators, 3-1, in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal from
Bell Centre.
Michael Ryder also lit the lamp in the middle frame for the Canadiens, who
evened this best-of-seven set despite the absences of captain Brian Gionta
along with forwards Lars Eller and Max Pacioretty to upper-body injuries.
Eller was kept overnight for observation at a local hospital but released
Friday morning after absorbing an illegal hit to the head from Sens defenseman
Eric Gryba during Thursday's series opener. Gryba was given a two-game
suspension by the league prior to the contest.
Carey Price rebounded from a shaky performance in Game 1 by making 29 saves.
Milan Michalek notched the lone score for the Senators, while Craig Anderson
halted 31 shots in defeat.
Game 3 will take place in Canada's capital on Sunday.

GEC CCP Reactor, Argon Chemistry, 1D
Application ID: 8646
The NIST GEC CCP reactor provides a platform for studying capacitively coupled plasmas. Even the simplest plasma models are quite involved so a 1D example helps in understanding the physics without excessive CPU time.
The problem has no steady-state solution, although a periodic steady-state solution is reached after a suitable number of RF cycles (usually >1000).

Sent you a PM. Just got back from the Bighorns on Sunday.
Hi everybody!
I've been an Eastmans subscriber for years but just recently started looking over the forum...lots of good "up-to-date" info for a flat-lander that can't be out there monitoring the mountain, thanks!
I'm a Marine combat vet (Three tours OEF/OIF 1999-2005). I've been dreaming of hunting the Northern Bighorns with my father ever since my last combat tour in '05 but college/career etc. always seemed to take precedence. This year I was able to commit to an Oct general deer tag in Reg Y. We are planning on being in WY from Oct 12 thru Oct 22. My father and I know the Bighorns quite well for non-residents due to camping/fly fishing trips many years ago...and would like to concentrate our hunting in unit 25 if the weather allows (Love to set up base camp near N. Tongue R.). Is this too high for the Muleys at that time of year or should we be concentrating on a lower elevation unit? Units we'll be able to hunt include...25,27,28,30,32,33,163,169. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sent you a PM. Just got back from the Bighorns on Sunday.
How did you end up doing mnhunter?
We saw some nice deer. The main focus of the hunt was to scout out our plans A, B, and C. between the three areas we saw 1-190"+ (biggest deer I have ever seen on the hoof, and he was on public), 3-170s, 2-160s, and 12-15 in the 120-150 range. We really didn't have time to focus in on any of the bucks with a bow since we had so much scouting to get done. We could have shot any of the 170's with a rifle.
Friday evening I saw the 190 at last light dropping down between some rimrock, and with my bad luck I got a flat driving back to camp after dark, so the next morning we had to creep the truck out the mountains to avoid getting another flat and get the tire fixed for the drive home on Sunday. I was sick driving out of the mountains that morning, I wanted to hunt him so bad on Saturday.
The goal of the trip was to scout our different plans, so mission accomplished. I have never shot a muley with a bow, so I am thinking of skipping rifle season next year and burning all of my vacation on bow season. We saw so many, more, and bigger deer on this last trip.
Rifle season is really dependant on the weather. In my eyes you have 2 options during the rifle season on public land: a low percentage hunt in/around the timber for big boys or a higher percentage hunt for smaller bucks on the fringes and out in the sage. The other option is private land.
For those of you with a new F150, the stock tires are just oversized car tires, I learned the hard way.
Huskyhunter, we are almost neighbors, you originally from STC?

SEC charges two Houston firms with mortgage-backed bonds crimes
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against two Houston-based investment advisory firms and three executives for engineering thousands of principal transactions through their affiliated brokerage firm without informing their clients.
One of the firms — along with its chief compliance officer — also is charged with violations of the "custody rule" that requires firms to meet certain standards when maintaining custody of client funds or securities.
In a principal transaction, an investment adviser acting for its own account or through an affiliated broker-dealer buys a security from a client account or sells a security to it. Principal transactions can pose potential conflicts between the interests of the adviser and the client, and therefore advisers are required to disclose in writing any financial interest or conflicted role when advising a client on the other side of the trade. They must also obtain the client's consent.
"By failing to disclose principal transactions and obtain consent, Parallax and Tri-Star Advisors deprived their clients of knowing in advance that their advisers stood to benefit substantially by running the trades through an affiliated account," said Marshall S. Sprung, co-chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Asset Management Unit.

According to the SEC's orders instituting administrative proceedings, Bott initiated and executed at least 2,000 undisclosed principal transactions from 2009 to 2011 without the consent of Parallax clients. In each transaction, Parallax's affiliated brokerage firm Tri-Star Financial used its inventory account to purchase mortgage-backed bonds for Parallax clients and then transferred the bonds to the applicable client accounts. Bott received nearly half of the $1.9 million in sales credits collected by Tri-Star Financial on these transactions.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by R. Joann Harris and Asset Management Unit member Barbara L. Gunn of the Fort Worth Regional Office. The SEC's litigation will be led by Jennifer Brandt.

Hi all,
So I'm following the instructions at:
Promoting Replica to LDAP Master - Zimbra :: Wiki
One thing is unclear here:
- Use the tool zmldapreplicatool to update the LDAP Master URI in the syncrepl configuration for each replica (ZCS 7.x only)
(what is the syntax for this? I tried the following: zmldapreplicatool -m ldap://new-ldap-master:389 but it just shows the commands
P.S. This is all being done on a test server first so not worried about making mistakes.

March is National Nutrition month and National Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. How are nutrition and colorectal cancer related?
First, let's look at the facts of colorectal cancer, or colon cancer for short. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among both American men and women. It starts in the colon or rectum and often does not have any symptoms.
However, some symptoms include bloody stools, unrelenting abdominal pain or unexplained weight loss. Risk factors include age over 50, inflammatory bowel disease, family history of colon cancer or polyps (pre-cancerous), genetic diseases such as Lynch syndrome, obesity, alcohol and tobacco use, a low-fiber and high-fat diet, sedentary lifestyle and low fruit and vegetable intake.
In 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 6,950 new cases of colon cancer were diagnosed in Colorado, or about 430 new cases for every 100,000 Coloradans. Of those diagnosed each year, about 152 will die from it. So, how do we prevent this horrible disease?
The answer is prevention with lifestyle changes and screening at age 50 with a colonoscopy every 10 years until age 75, annual fecal occult blood tests or flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years.
If people would get screened at 50 years old, or earlier if you have family or genetic risk factors, 60 percent of colon cancer deaths could be avoided. Screening allows the removal of precancerous polyps that take about five years to turn into cancer. In addition, increasing fiber in the diet, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol use and stopping smoking can decrease risks of developing colon cancer.
What if you do not have insurance to cover screening? The Center for Disease Control's Colorectal Cancer Control Program is intended to increase screening rates of insured and uninsured individuals. To be eligible for participation in the program, adults must be between 50-64 years of age and at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Since 2009, the program has screened 20,000 people and found 2,917 cases of precancerous adenomatous polyps and 50 cancers. The program can be reached at 866-227-7914.
What are the most fibrous foods to include in your diet to help prevent colon cancer and how much fiber do you need? Fiber is only found in plant foods and cannot be digested by the body. It is recommended that women consume at least 21-25 grams per day and men should eat 30-38 grams per day. According to the National Fiber Council, Americans only consume about half of what is needed. Beans are at the top of the chart with split peas having 16.3 grams per 1 cup, followed by lentils, black beans and lima beans. Other high fibrous foods include vegetables: artichoke, green peas, broccoli, turnip greens, and Brussels sprouts. Fruits like raspberries, pears and apples along with whole grains and nuts also contain fiber.
Now that you have the facts, start improving your health today by increasing your consumption of plant-based foods and discussing your particular history and personal risks with your health care provider.

(USA TODAY/AP) -- Police are searching for two young suspects in Brunswick, Ga., on Friday after a shooter opened fire on an toddler being pushed by his mother in a stroller, killing the 13-month-old boy.
WTLV reports the mother and her toddler were on a morning walk Thursday, when they were approached by two suspects and shot, Brunswick Police Chief Tobe C. Green said.
The teen suspect is described as a black male between the ages of 13 and 15. The pre-teen suspect is a black male between the ages of 10 and 12.
At a press conference, Brunswick Police spokesman Todd Rhodes said officers have received more than 30 leads in the case and are encouraging citizens to come forward if they have any information on the shootings.
Brunswick police are checking the attendance records of area schools to see who was missing or absent from class Thursday, WTLV reported.
The Brunswick Police Department is, "aggressively and actively searching for the suspects," police spokesman Todd Rhodes told WTLV.
The mother, Sherry West, described the incident in a tearful interview with WAWS-TV of Jacksonville.
"He said 'I'm going to kill you if you don't give me money,' and I said, 'I swear I don't have any,'" she said.
West said she tried to protect her baby, Antonio, but shots rang out. "I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me and then he shot my baby right in the head," West told WAWS-TV.
Rhodes told WJXT that the mother suffered non-life threatening injuries and was in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
"She is cooperating as fully as she can possibly cooperate, providing the best information that she has," Brunswick Mayor Bryan Thompson told WJXT. "Given what she has gone through. She is, for right now, the only eyewitness we have."
Brunswick police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Police told WJXT that they have found no motive in the shootings.
Residents described the neighborhood where the shooting happened as normally quiet, though there have been some property crimes recently. The city is about 80 miles south of Savannah.
"This makes me very uneasy," Patricia Buie told The Brunswick News. "Now I am very concerned. It is making me want to move to the mountains."

Nobody have any experience hunting 55?
Hey guys new to eastman's forum. I'm a colorado resident lookin to spend my 6 deer pref points on 2013 3rd or 4th season. Would that be too many, or not enough points for unit 55 deer? I lived in gunnison for 1year did my freshman year at western state 2009. Saw a lot of really nice bucks while coyote hunting durin 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons. This was the year after the winter kill of 08, still a good number of nice bucks in the area. Has anyone tried or successfully drawn 3rd/4th season rifle buck tag for 55? How many points did it take? Which year? Is 6 points too many? Any info on your hunt or experience would be greatly appreciated! -heath
Nobody have any experience hunting 55?
Did you get my pm
you can look it up on their web site. its prob in last years MRS also.
Drhorsepower, I got your pm, that website was very helpful. As for a unit 55 archery hunt, I didnt get up into the high country during early season. But I do know they have an abundance of animals that never get seen during open season because they hang out in rough, rugged, remote country and the majority of rifle hunters stay near roads. But i'm assuming ifu like to get back into some wilderness u will be able to hunt in a natural setting with little pressure, and get chances at some trophy animals
I hunted there this year second rifle, a lot of the older bucks where still up high right at timberline. I killed a decent 4x4 on the third day at 12,000' - my first mountain muley, it was a great experience, wouldn't trade it, but once a little snow fell in the high country the bigger deer started to move - there were some nice ones, saw a stud down in the sage brush country after a little snow fell in the high country a few days later. From what I saw the rest of the season while I was hunting elk (unsuccessfully) there are some really good deer in the unit.
Didn't happen without pics! Just kidding.... Kinda
I've hunted or helped on four deer hunts in Unit 55 (2005 3rd season, 2006 4th season, 2010 3rd season, and 2011 3rd season). On the 2005 hunt I missed a solid 180 buck. On the 2006 hunt I saw the largest straight typical I've ever seen (around 210). The top end bucks really got decimated in the hard winter a few years ago.
As of 2011, it was hard to find a buck over 160. By next year (2013) these bucks will have two more years on them so you may start seeing a few solid bucks.
I'm at 7 points. If I were a resident, I'd hold off for a year or two, because it's only gonna get better, barring a hard winter. I don't believe you have the point creep problems that most of us do as non-residents. If I were a resident, I'd like to draw and hunt that unit in it's prime. There are some killer genetics in the Gunnison basin.
Cool, thanks for the input guys, very helpful!

TORONTO - Mallory Blanton is in her third year as the Toronto girls' basketball coach and things are different for the Red Knights alum.
"I have very good leaders and a good amount of players with varsity experience which will hopefully give us an advantage in some close games," she said. "With having a little more success last season, it seemed to fuel their desire to work harder and will to win. They are finally learning how to play to win."
Toronto did not graduate a player off last year's seven-victory team, meaning there is a lot of experience, which is led by seniors Kayla Brown, Mariah Turner, Shane Sears and Becca Schaming.
The leading scorer also returns in junior Lindsay Bodnar.
"The older girls know what I expect from them individually and as a whole," Blanton said.
"They are very good at helping the younger ones to learn and catch up to speed and my expectations. We can take more time on picking our plays and defenses apart allowing us to break them down and build them back up. We also have more time going over different situations and the 'what if this happens' scenarios.
"The girls also have a better knowledge of the game."
Juniors Katie Spadafora and Mykia West, sophomores Makayla Bauman, Malaysia Harrison and Big Red transfer Lexie Berger and freshman Miranda Robinson round out a Toronto roster of players looking for some big things.
"We are very excited for the season to start and to see how the season unfolds," Blanton said. "The girls have worked hard on the offseason and seem very anxious to get going."

|Jelden continues to excel in 4-H clothing at 2013 state fair
|Written by Darci Tomky
Holyoke eighth-grader Anna Jelden defended her overall intermediate grand champion honors in clothing construction at the 2012 Colorado State Fair by being named grand champion again during this year's competition Aug. 23-Sept. 2 in Pueblo.
"It feels great to be grand champion two years in a row," said Jelden. "I was really shocked when I found out the news."
This Challengers 4-H Club member has been in 4-H for five years and has participated in clothing construction all five years.
For her Unit 27 project this year, Jelden wanted to replicate a skirt she saw online with an accompanying blouse for a cute outfit she can wear. She chose linen because it's lightweight. For the skirt, she wanted the brightly-colored floral fabric to match the black waistband, and she said the black shirt will be very versatile.

|Commissioners oppose three ballot measures
|Written by Darci Tomky
Two resolutions were signed by Phillips County Commissioners in the month of July addressing tax reduction and medical marijuana centers.
In an effort to protect the fiscal health of local government, commissioners oppose Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61.
Their nonsupport resolution explains how the ballot measures would restrict the ability to finance long-term capital improvements like buildings, fire stations and road and bridge projects. Restrictions and revenue reductions could severely limit services and programs in Phillips County.
Commissioners also signed a resolution prohibiting the operation of medical marijuana centers, optional premises cultivation operations and medical marijuana-infused products manufacturers' licenses within Phillips County.
This was one of the topics of discussion at the commissioners' quarterly meeting with the towns of Phillips County held Monday, July 26. They wanted to bring everyone up to speed on the marijuana resolution as well as Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61.
The 2010 preliminary valuation for assessment for Phillips County is complete, reported commissioners at their July 30 meeting. According to the assessment, the county is down $6 million in gas production from the 2009 assessed value.
A total loss of $5.7 million in Phillips County's assessed value means there won't be as much money in the county's budget next year, said commissioners.
Also in the month of July, commissioners met with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) including Region 4 transportation director Johnny Olson as well as the regional highway commissioner Kim Killin.
CDOT is in the process of updating their Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), a planning document that identifies the transportation projects CDOT intends to fund in the upcoming years.
Commissioners updated CDOT on the county's current needs and transportation issues. Two of Phillips County's top priorities right now are constructing a shoulder on Highway 385 and replacing bad railroad crossings. Highway 23 is also scheduled for an update in a couple years.
Additionally, the board recently approved a $14,554 contract with Sidwell Company from St. Charles, Ill. for mapping for the assessor's office. They will help with the geographic information systems (GIS) data conversion and support services. The goal is to get all county maps to work together in the same system.
Event Center nearly completed for Fair
Phillips County administrator Randy Schafer reported work crews got a lot accomplished at the Phillips County Event Center in the three weeks leading up to the county fair. Most of that work was completed by county employees, he said.
Event Center features completed last month include the parking lot/driveway, sod, sprinklers, flag poles, flowers, signs, sidewalks, yard lights and the preschool playground/fence.
Commissioners noted they received a contribution from Kinnie Grain Company of Julesburg and Elton and Eunice Oltjenbruns of Holyoke for the flag poles.
Projects that still need to be completed are painting stripes on the parking area, installing signs at the doorways and planting buffalo grass or sod on the north side of the building.
Even with the few things that need to be completed, the facility was still in great shape to greet participants at the Phillips County Fair last week.
One element that will make the Event Center a more viable location for many events is a stage. A fund raiser is currently taking place, and commissioners remind county residents that donations to the stage project will be maximized by receiving a tax benefit from the Enterprise Zone.
Other business
In other business in the month of July, commissioners:
—approved a gravel pit application for Ritchey's Redi Mix & Precast Inc. in Wray for the Falk/Ritchey's Redi Mix & Precast Inc. pit in the .
—reported the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce's spotlight lunch at the Event Center was successful as a large crowd was there to see the new building.
—approved subdivision exemptions for Clark and Fran Rueter and Merl and Mary Ellen Koch.
—noted the Resource Center at 127 E. Denver in Holyoke is currently being remodeled and a garage door was taken out last month.
—approved PC Telcom's plan to install approximately 20 miles of fiber optic cables in rural Phillips County.
—approved Phillips County Clerk's request to permanently move the polling place for Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 from First Christian Church to the Event Center's Biesemeier Room.
—reviewed a number of natural gas permits that are being processed by the State Oil and Gas Commission. The proposed wells will be drilled by Omimex Resources and Black Raven Energy.

Video: Remembering Greg McDowell of Creflo Dollar's World Changers Church International
ATLANTA -- Greg McDowell goes way back with Pastor Creflo Dollar, way before he became a megachurch pastor.
Friends say he was a big man of strong faith, not just for his religion, but as a devoted husband and father. The fact that he was killed in church, leading prayer, is something that's just very hard to get around.
PHOTOS | Shooting at World Changers Church International
MORE | Shock, sadness on social media after shooting
Friends say Greg McDowell was a man of faith, and that's what brought him to World Changers. Just the thought that somebody would take his life here, as he prayed no less, has shaken the entire congregation.
"I'm praying for both families," a parishioner from the church said. "It's life and life happens, you know, but you just got to trust God."
For those that knew him the closest, the tragedy makes no sense at all.
"Greg was always a big, happy guy," longtime friend Chaka Cox said. "He was like a gentle giant."
Chaka Cox knew McDowell for decades, and even introduced him to the woman he would later marry.
"He always cared about other people that he came in contact with," Cox said, "That's how people have such a good repertoire with him because he did care about a lot of other people."
"You could always find Greg," Cox said. "He was never the type of person who you could not find. He was the easiest person to find in Atlanta."
He says McDowell was an easy friend who had no obvious enemies, certainly not someone angry enough to kill him from point-blank range in the House of God.
"It's definitely surprising. You think that would happen in a nightclub, or some other place, but not a church," Cox said. "He was actually leading a prayer, so the gentleman that just shot him pointblank - there was no way for security to know he came in there, probably a concealed weapon, I'm not sure, but it is surprising to say the least."
Originally, there was a question as to whether or not they would even have services here tonight, but they decided to go ahead, despite that tragedy.
The shooting happened in a small chapel set aside in a separate building from the main sanctuary.
The church plans to raise money for the family to settle their bills, presumably, like the mortgage and the car notes, and perhaps to even set up a college fund for the small children in that family.

Rule on key juvenile issue
The Supreme Court of the United States this week declined to hear a case from Pennsylvania that would resolve a lingering issue from its otherwise sound 2012 decision regarding juvenile justice.
Justices ruled in 2012 that state-level trial judges must have discretion to decide whether to impose life sentences on juveniles convicted of serious crimes. That effectively overturned state laws mandating life sentences for juveniles for certain crimes. The ruling, however, was silent about life sentences already imposed on people who were juveniles at the time of their crimes. Pennsylvania has more juvenile lifers, 462, than any other state. Nationwide, there are about 2,000.
Several states now allow reviews to apply the discretion retroactively but Pennsylvania is not among them. The state Supreme Court rejected retroactive discretion, 4-3, prompting the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. It's unfortunate that the U.S. Supreme Court passed up the opportunity to establish uniform justice for juveniles. Several other cases are available for the court to hear. It should take one or more in the cause of equal justice.
