DNR staying the course with antlerless deer regulations
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia's antlerless-deer hunters won't have much to memorize this fall.
After making wholesale changes in season dates and bag limits last year, state wildlife officials are proposing only minor tweaks for 2013. The only differences, said Gary Foster, will center on which bag limits apply to which counties.
"There's some shuffling of counties from one [bag-limit or season-length] category to another," Foster explained. "Several counties will be moved to categories with more liberal regulations.
"But overall, the deer-season framework will be the same this fall as it was last year. The various seasons will follow the same order and will be the same lengths."
Foster, the Division of Natural Resources' game management supervisor, said DNR biologists want to stay with the 2012 structure for at least a few more years so they can accurately evaluate how effective it is in bringing whitetail populations into line with the agency's management guidelines.
"Last year, we put our new white-tailed deer operational plan into effect, and as a result we made quite a few changes to the deer-season structure," he said. "Now it's important that we have some stability for the next three to four years so we can evaluate the effectiveness of that structure."
In the past, DNR biologists gauged the effectiveness of their management efforts by one central criterion - each county's buck kill per square mile averaged over two seasons.
Today they take a much more diverse approach.
"For this year's regulation proposals, we're looking at data from the 2011 and 2012 deer harvests, we're evaluating crop-damage trends and deer-vehicle collision trends, and we're including data from our [biologists' spotlight surveys]," Foster said.
"Based on all that, we've proposed adjustments within various counties or sub-counties to try to put them within the appropriate season framework to harvest the number of antlerless deer we need to harvest in those counties."
DNR officials revealed those "proposed adjustments" at the Feb. 24 meeting of the Natural Resources Commission. The changes, if approved, would shake out as follows:
Hunters in those counties would be required to kill an antlerless deer before they could kill a second buck: Berkeley, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Lewis, Marion, Mason, western Mineral, Morgan, Putnam, Ritchie, Wetzel and Wirt.
Foster said the DNR's guidelines allow for counties' regulations to become more conservative or more liberal. This fall, however, agency biologists don't propose to move any counties into more conservative categories.
Sportsmen will have a chance to comment on the proposed regulations at 12 public meetings to be held March 18 and 19 at locations throughout the state. DNR officials will collect the surveys and will make them available to members of the Natural Resources Commission so they can vote on the proposals at their late-April meeting.

WASHINGTON -- Panelists lambasted the Washington pro football club's team name as racist and wrong at a symposium Monday.
"This is not going away this time," said Oneida Indian Nation representative Ray Halbritter, one of the event's organizers.
'NEVER': Redskins owner speaks on controversy
The symposium was held to coincide with an NFL owners meeting here this week but the NFL declined an invitation to attend, according to the organizers. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has defended the team name but has also said the league needs to listen to those who are offended.
Kevin Gover, director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, said Americans are taught through popular culture that American Indians are less worthy than other Americans. He suggested that if the team wants to keep its Indian imagery it should change its name to the Washington Americans.
BRENNAN COLUMN: Times I stopped calling team Redskins
Washington team owner Daniel Snyder told USA TODAY Sports in May that he would never change the name. Panelist Michael Friedman, a clinical psychologist, said making such a statement is a form of harassment. Friedman said the Washington team name is damaging to the self esteem of American Indians and carries public health consequences for a community with high rates of suicide.
U.S. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia said that in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Goodell should reach out and meet with the Oneida Indian Nation. "This name is going to go into the dustbin of history," she said.
U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota, co-chair of the Congressional Native American Caucus, said: "Mr. Snyder, change the mascot. ... Pick one that hurts no one."
Students who pushed for change at their school in Cooperstown, N.Y., said they got some pushback from the local community there. Halbritter said if young people like them can understand the issue, why can't grownups who own pro football teams? He also thanked President Obama for saying that if he owned the team, he would consider changing the name.
"This word is mean, rude, impolite," Gover said, "and we would like you to stop using it."

Veteran rockers Pearl Jam treated fans in Seattle, Washington to a three-hour concert marathon on Friday as they played their first hometown show in four years.
The stars returned to the city to wrap up the North American leg of their Lightning Bolt tour, and they made sure they went out with a bang by rocking through the night.
Frontman Eddie Vedder kicked off the gig with "Pendulum" and rolled out renditions of hits including "Corduroy," "Better Man," "Alive" and "Daughter," while he also performed a solo cover of Velvet Underground's "After Hours" as a tribute to late frontman Lou Reed, reports RollingStone.
They closed the mega-gig with an all-star cover of MC5 hit "Kick Out The Jams," accompanied by fellow Seattle musicians Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, and Steve Turner and Mark Arm from supporting act Mudhoney, before bowing out with "Yellow Ledbetter."
Pearl Jam will next head Down Under for a tour of Australia and New Zealand in January.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A 3-year-old boy who was among 13 people wounded in a late-night attack on a southwest Chicago park was alert when he arrived at the hospital and was apparently doing well, his family and friends said early Friday.
The attack late Thursday in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood left three victims, including the boy, in critical condition. The others were reportedly in serious or fair condition.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said all 13 victims at the park sustained non-life-threatening injuries and that the boy was expected to survive.
In total, 19 people were shot citywide Thursday, leaving one dead and 18 others hurt, the police said.
McCarthy said an assault-style weapon with a high-capacity magazine was used in the park attack. Given the type of weapon used, it was "a miracle" that no one was killed at the park, he said during a Friday news conference.
No arrests have been made.
The first wave of violence broke out after 6 p.m. with four people being wounded by gunfire, CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports from Chicago. The second wave after 10 p.m. required more than 60 police officers and 10 ambulances to respond.
As bullets began to fly at Cornell Square Park on Chicago's South Side, people scattered, taking cover wherever they could, police and witnesses told CBS Chicago station WBBM-TV.
The child's uncle, Julian Harris, told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men in a gray sedan shot at him Thursday night before turning toward the nearby park and opening fire. He said his nephew was shot in the cheek.
Investigators believe several people were involved but that it wasn't clear yet whether more than one person opened fire, McCarthy said. Based on witness interviews, it appears the attack was gang-related, he said, adding that several victims were gang members.
Harris identified the boy to WBBM-TV as Deonta Howard. Relatives told WBBM-TV that Deonta was at the park with his mother.
"They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house," Harris told the newspaper. "They've been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It's what they do."
The boy's grandmother told WBBM-TV that Deonta's uncle was one of eight people murdered in the city over Labor Day weekend.
This latest outbreak of violence comes on the heels of an FBI report released just this week branding Chicago as the murder capital of America with 500 murders recorded in 2012. That's even more than New York City, which has three times the population of Chicago.
McCarthy said weapons like the one used in the attack belong on a battlefield, not on American streets, and that laws are needed to restrict such weapons.
The shooting comes nearly three weeks after Chicago saw an outburst of violence over the Labor Day weekend that ended with eight dead and 20 others injured. Chicago's police superintendent has said that overall violence is down so far this year compared to 2012, when the number of homicides topped 500 for the first time since 2008.
Following a surge in homicides and shootings last year, the police department stepped up its crime-fighting efforts by, among other things, paying overtime to add patrols to some neighborhoods, including the Back of the Yards. Through the first six months of the year, the department's more than $57 million on overtime pay for officers, more than half of it from a program that saturates dangerous neighborhoods with hundreds of officers every night.
"Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement Friday. "The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
One of Thursday's victims transported himself to a hospital, police said. Among the 13 victims were at least two other minors, ages 15 and 17.
The 3-year-old boy was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Hospital officials declined to disclose his condition, but fire officials said the boy's condition was critical.
The Rev. Corey Brooks, a pastor at New Beginnings Church, spoke with family members outside the hospital and said the boy was resting with his mother.
"He was talking when they first brought him in, but he's heavily sedated now," he said.
"They say he's good," said Semecha Nunn, the boy's grandmother. "They going to have to do a little plastic surgery on him, but he's OK."
Francis John, 70, said she was in her apartment when the shooting occurred. She said she went down to see what was going on and "a lot of youngsters were running scared." A 30-year resident, she said she was surprised by what had happened.
She told the Sun-Times there hasn't been much gun violence in the neighborhood in recent years, adding the neighborhood went from good to bad 10 years ago, to better recently.

Roger Federer will not be competing in Dubai or Switzerland's Davis Cup tie against the US citing the back injury that forced him out of the Paris Masters last fall.
The 13-time Grand Slammer made the annoucement via his website today:
Dear Fans,You know it's hard to garner anything out of these prepared statements besides what they want you to hear. Is it really the back injury or does Fed need more time away after the crushing loss in Oz?
Today I am disappointed to announce that I am withdrawing from both Dubai and the Davis Cup tie in the United States. This was a hard decision to make as I am missing not only one of my favorite events on tour in Dubai but I am also missing out on an opportunity to help my country try and move on to the next round of Davis Cup. After injuring my back last fall, I did not have enough time to strengthen it completely. As a precautionary measure, I will use the next few weeks to make sure the back injury is fully rehabilitated and I am ready for the rest of the 2009 season.
As always, thanks for your continued support.
If the explanation is truly the back, then it could be a sign that the injury is developing into something chronic (and they usually do.) Fed has been very healthy throughout his career and has never really had a recurring injury so this could throw him off a bit. He may want to give himself more time to recover and get fit before tennis' March Madness begins.
Fed may also be looking for a mental break, however, after the Aussie Open devastation to Rafael Nadal. It seemed pretty obvious to everyone watching he was a broken baller.
I guess we'll see...

One of the most common complaints among many residents over the decades is that Big Business controls City Hall and municipal government, not citizens. Although some officials have denied it, that seems to be the case when it comes to who will be the next city councilperson.
Three activists associated with The Cincinnati Beacon blog have lodged a formal complaint with the city's attorneys today, alleging some City Council members "behaved secretly and in contradiction of the charter" during a recent budget dispute.
Also, other critics are researching whether the council members' action violated state law.
As Cincinnati officials consider deep budget cuts to avoid a $60 million deficit, one of the early proposals calls for possible layoffs in the Police and Fire departments.
The Charter Committee, Cincinnati's de facto third political party, will host a forum Nov. 17 to outline the problems facing the city. Featured speaker will be Lea Eriksen, Cincinnati's budget director, who will provide background information on municipal finances, and outline the city's revenues and expenses.

|Homesteaders playground plans receive $5,000 Daniels Fund grant
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County Commissioners announced at their Nov. 23 meeting they have received a $5,000 Daniels Fund grant to support the Homesteaders Park playground improvement project.
The county and the playground committee have been working on a project to replace the existing playground with new, universally accessible playground equipment, to install a turf playfield and to install a frisbee golf course.
Chairman Jerry Beavers said, "This grant is greatly appreciated. It will really be helpful in moving the project forward and giving us the impetus to succeed."
Phillips County is still seeking additional donations to match a potential Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant for this same project.
Commissioners Susan Roll Walters and Beavers and county administrator Randy Schafer attended the GOCO board meeting Wednesday, Nov. 17. The playground project's initial GOCO grant application was turned down, but the staff was very encouraging, reported commissioners.
GOCO staff advised the county to apply again and to include more public input as well as more firm pledges.
Anyone wanting to provide a donation toward the project should contact Brooke Dirks or Michelle Vieselmeyer.
As commissioners look to new projects, they were pleased to report the Phillips County Event Center open house and thank you celebration was well attended. They are excited to finish that project and move forward with others.
Paoli land to be purchased for county
Commissioners reported they are in the process of buying land in Paoli. A small piece north of the railroad and the old depot will be used as stockpile storage for gravel and rock.
They will also be renewing the farm lease for the Phillips County landfill with Duane Harms. The agreement, which has been in place the last several years, is automatically renewed if neither party has objections.
Phillips County is in the process of hiring a new victims assistance director. Also in the month of November, Roy Pfaltzgraff was appointed to the board of Phillips County Economic Development while Bud Biesemeier was appointed to the Northeast Colorado Housing Authority board.
Other business
In other business in the month of November, commissioners:
—approved Farmer LLC to do the county audit.
—held a budget hearing Nov. 23.
—approved the Beulah Neiman Trust subdivision exemption of 8.18 acres at the county line and County Road 23.
—noted seismic operations are being conducted by Paragon Geophysical Services northeast of Holyoke and in the Amherst area to determine where Black Raven Energy will drill wells.
—purchased a 2007 Chevy Impala for $9,900 from the Government Services Administration sale.
—began pursuing the purchase of a tractor for District 2.
—attended the Jolly Dozen FCE presentation on bread making and wheat varieties.
—noted their plans to attend the Colorado Counties Inc. (CCI) winter conference in Colorado Springs.

DEAL. It went down in an alley behind a Fresno machine shop, or maybe deep in a black hole somewhere in the cosmos. Nobody knows. Bottom line: The Gods of Speed agreed to return selected banished race cars to the living world to atone for the countless sacrifices made on their behalf. There's no other explanation for the plethora of drag zombies resuscitated in recent years. Some have more colorful pedigrees than others. Color this one vibrant.
Even the prelude has a pungent pigment. In 1955, Elmer "Unsprung" Snyder slid an injected 265 Chevy into his homebrewed dragster in Newman, California. Elmer hit every NorCal strip from Salinas to Half Moon Bay, pitching fits to the Hemis all the way. The competition protested Snyder's unsuspended chassis until the little digger was banned from competition in 1962. The dragster's end was this Willys' beginning.
Elmer found a gennie '41 Willys and dropped in his lucky small-block with a Caddy three-speed. The only chassis mod was a generous Swiss-cheesing of the stock frame. Wearing a gold coat with Snyder-Meleon-Seagers lettering, the B/Gasser provided a season's worth of amusement, while Elmer built a proper A/Gas Supercharged car. At the '63 season's end, the coupe was sold to Concord gas station mechanic Ken Dondero on the easy- payment plan.
Ken sprayed the Willys maroon and dropped in a four-speed. Working solo, Dondero raced the car all over northern California from his frayed back pocket. From 1964 to 1967, the coupe (still running B/Gas) applied the tough-love method to teach Dondero his supernatural driving skills: "It was so flexible—every time I shifted, I had to give the wheel a half turn going down the track, then again on the shutdown," he recalls. Those lessons earned Ken the driver seat in the new Panella Trucking Anglia in 1968, so the Willys was sold to Tommy Ide in the small Sierra foothills town of Pine Grove.
Tommy kept the Willys touring on the northern California circuit, employing a variety of engine combos to run various (unblown) classes with Capitol Speed Shop sponsorship. After the heads-up Gas classes diluted into Pro Gas, Ide quit racing and handed down the car to Tommy Jr., who parked it in his garage—for two decades.
Enter Les Brusatori of nearby Sutter Creek. "Growing up, I remember seeing the car parked beside Tom's shop. Just like everyone else, I always wanted a Willys. In 1995, I got word that the car might be for sale. I arranged a visit and bought it that day," Brusatori recalls. The coupe, now black, was in the midst of a Pro Gas transformation and had a tubbed back half and no drivetrain. Brusatori, swept up in the Pro Street movement of the day, began taking the Willys in that direction. Then he stopped to reconsider—for 14 years. He finally decided to rectify this pedigreed gasser with license plates, intending to retain Old Man Willys' fragile framerails.
In 2009, tubing maestro Bill Fitting persuaded Les to let him fabricate a stouter, traditional-style chassis, Howard Borell began prepping the amazingly straight steel for period paint, and Tony Borello Racing Engines went to work on an injected early Hemi. Late last year, a Tom Pagano paintjob went on, and Howdy Ledbetter's interior went in, followed closely by Les Brusatori's buttocks. Les' driving impressions: "We just finished the car, so I haven't had much time in the seat. I do know it runs down the road straight and smooth. We're still fine-tuning the engine, so I haven't had the opportunity to really hammer it. But, man, is it torquey!"
Do the speed gods approve of 60 years of racing history being unleashed on public streets? The fat, black tracks being left behind the Capitol Speed Shop Willys say, "Good deal!"★

After decades of Chevy power, the engine compartment finally holds a Hemi. Tony Borello Racing Engines (Garden Valley, California) created this 10:1 pump-gas brute from a 392 block, now displacing 399 inches. A forged crank, H-beam rods, and forged Ross pistons comprise the reciprocating assembly. An Isky hydraulic flat-tappet cam with a nasty disposition and mostly stock heads define the iron Chrysler's attitude. Where you might expect a supercharger, Brusatori preserves this car's natural-aspiration tradition with Hilborn electronic injection, civilized for the street by EFI guru Dave Erlich. What looks like a magneto is a cleverly disguised distributor. A mild, baseline tune produced 450 hp and 450 lb-ft on Tony Borello's dyno.Ooh, la la! Howdy Ledbetter covered the seats, door panels, firewall, headliner, and trans-hump cover in period-perfect, diamond-tucked Naugahyde. Dynamat manages the underfoot heat. Bill Fitting fabbed a snug-fit 'moly rollbar, a brake pedal, and a race-style steering column for a Grant wheel.

How many were recorded in quarter-mile increments?Bill Fitting's Fitting Company (Grass Valley, California) did everything under the historical tin skin. Custom 2x4-inch, mild-steel rails were tapered and arched, front and rear, to replicate the original Willys lines. The laser-cut kick-ups hover over a 4.10:1 Ford rearend riding on custom leaf springs. A pair of adjustable "Al's Bars" (named after Bill's brother) is identical to the traction bars under Bill's own 7.86-second nostalgia gasser. He somehow squeezed a street-legal exhaust system inside the narrow frame.One of the sexiest exhaust systems we've ever seen or heard on a street car sends 2-inch primary tubes into 31⁄2-inch collectors equipped with hidden, quick-release baffles for street/strip duty. Bill Fitting did the smooth bending.Willys Overland Motors' VIN tag has been hanging on for dear life for 72 years. The firewall has changed, and the ride got plenty hairy in the '60s and '70s, but this delicate slice of tin hasn't been bucked off yet.A heavy decklid was often the first panel removed by gasser builders, but this steel original has survived since 1941, along with its original hinges, handle, and latch.

Fremont has now evolved into a raceway, and Tommy Ide has evidently picked up some horsepower, judging from the B/Gas (versus C/G) designation and all that daylight beneath the S/S Cragars.After Capitol Speed Shop closed, Tom Ide picked up sponsorship from Don Tognotti's rival chain, along with new paint, a different name, and Center Line wheels.

Generally you can find replacement cables at any motorcycle shop. Ive even used 10 speed bike cables from Walmart in an emergency <G>
I have a custom fitted bike cable on my carb with no issues. I bought a cable kit from Ace Hardware for $8. Found the cable that fit the throttle grip the best, cut to fit as needed and soldered on the cable cap.Thanks Scottie. I found a shop here in town called Ace Motorworks that does vintage MC work. He did a carb clean and rejet this year for me. I called him and he said bring the cable over and he would solder on a new end. 10 minute ride and $5 job and Im back in business. Thanks for the prompt replies. Now just have to install it and make sure it does not get in a bind again. How do riders deal with this on the road? Trailer it? Is there no options for the throttle like there might be for the clutch?RV
You can also find "custom" cable kits with little barrels that have a set screw on the grip end. The custom part is you cut to the length you need and put the barrel on. Very inexpensive. Mine was frayed where it enters the throttle grip housing and I replaced it 2 weeks ago before it failed. The angle of the cable at the throttle isn't ideal.
Check for bends and kinks in the cable between the throttle and the carb. Too tight a turn or pinching under the tank can pinch the cable inside the cable cover.
Either the cable is installed wrong or it is too tight. There should be an 1/8-1/4" of play in the throttle grip. If there is no play in the grip then it is too tight and pulling the slide open.Scottie
Post a pic of what you're talking about so I can see if it's ok to remove.Scotti

Constituency Responses
Summary: All constituencies agree except the Library of Congress.
Comments on the LC objections?
ACOC questions an example, and CCC proposes an additional example. Comments?
DNB suggests Glossary definitions for "Adaptation" and "Arrangement". Need ALA position.
-- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/10
MLA members are still discussing this on our wiki, but my personal reactions so far are as follows:
I don't get LC's objection to the Rzewski. The response reads: "...it represents variations on a pre-existing tune, and related work, not an adaptation." But those things are not mutually exclusive. Yes, this is an adaptation. It's an adaptation of the related work/pre-existing tune.
Hogan example: This example is helpful precisely because it calls itself an arrangement yet is judged to be an adaptation. I think we should argue to keep this example. In an earlier draft of the proposal, we did have an annotation: Arrangement treated as an adaptation. I proposed instead: Judged to be an adaptation. That latter wording is gaining support in MLA.
CCC's Yankee Doodle example seems fine to me to, but I guess the question is would it go in 188.8.131.52.2, immediately after the sentence we are proposing to add, or would it go in 184.108.40.206 if LC's proposed change to that sentence is accepted?
LC doesn't want to add the word "traditional." So, by extension, that would mean they don't want to add the Deep River example, either, right? They don't say so explicitly. But the fact is that indeed we would apply this instruction for a vocal arrangement of a traditional song, wouldn't we? So how can it hurt to make that explicit? I think it can only help. If it would have to be undone in the future, that would be as part of some bigger change in which we would stop applying this instruction in that situation, right?
Glossary definitions for arrangement and adaptation: I agree that this is a good idea, but we need to craft something more nuanced than DNB's proposed definitions.
Tracey Snyder, MusLA, Oct. 16, 2012
Regarding LC's objection to adding the word "traditional," here is a comment/question from an MLA member:
"LC seems to be more concerned with non-Western traditional music, while we were focusing more on Western traditional music (folk, spirituals); is the word 'traditional' the problem because it's too general?"
Regarding the glossary definitions, here is a comment from an MLA member:
"In a way, 188.8.131.52.1 is a "definition" of adaptation -- DNB's proposed definition is taken from category c, but doesn't fully account for the other categories :
a) arrangements described as freely transcribed, based on, etc., and other arrangements incorporating new material b) paraphrases of various works or of the general style of another composer c) arrangements in which the harmony or musical style of the original has been changed d) performances of musical works involving substantial creative responsibility for adaptation, improvisation, etc., on the part of the performer or performers e) any other distinct alteration of another musical work."
Tracey Snyder, MusLA, Oct. 22, 2012
Agree with Tracey about LC's objections to the Rzewski example -- how does this differ conceptually from the existing Rachmaninoff example?
On Hogan (Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel): agree that this is a good example that could use further clarification. "Judged to be an adaptation." would work for me.
I'm concerned about LC's proposal to remove the Elling example. Jazz performances are normally considered to fall into the category where creative responsibility includes the performers. I noted recently in preparing for conducting RDA training that the "beyond mere performance" clause in 18.104.22.168.1 does not appear in equivalent instructions related to personal names -- but I think the same concept applies, and that's more or less stated in 22.214.171.124.1.d. Until the larger issue of musical conventions is addressed, I recommend retaining this example. It would be OK to modify the explanatory note to more clearly address LC's concerns (emphasizing the creative nature of the performances). BTW, just because an example was included in AACR2 for one reasons does not mean it's not applicable in RDA for another reason.
The proposed change from: If the composer of the adaptation is unknown, use the preferred title for the adaptation as the authorized access point representing the work. to: If the composer of the adaptation is unknown or uncertain, see the instructions at 220.127.116.11. is OK by me.
On the "traditional" issue, I agree with Tracey. This guidance is needed now and can certainly be changed in the future as part of a bigger revamp if necessary.
On the Glossary definitions: I agree with the MLA comments that these are already addressed in 22.214.171.124.1. If they need to be added to the Glossary, they should incorporate all of the aspects addressed there.

Following extensive research by a group of scientists in Europe, Biopelle introduced an entire line of products based on SCA Biorepair Technology. Tensage addresses skin issues in a unique way with a growth factor that comes from a species of snail, the Cryptomphalus Aspersa. The reparative growth factor is a blend of different proteins that are actually capable of regenerating skin tissues which have suffered damage from the natural aging process as well as environmental assailants such as the sun, pollution and dry air. Research has shown that this particular type of snail is able to repair the damage inflicted on its body so that it can continue to thrive and be healthy.
Solutions from Tensage help to repair damaged skin and prevent future damage that can lead to signs of premature aging such as wrinkles, loss of firmness and an uneven tone. Use the full range of Tensage products in order to build better elasticity, smooth lines and hydrate the skin to leave it plump and healthy. Every step in the Tensage regimen builds on each other in order to provide your skin with the maximum benefits.
Many anti-aging products exist in today's competitive health and beauty marketplace. While all products promise superior results, the true effectiveness of these products varies. The science behind the health and beauty products you choose plays a significant role in their effectiveness. Tensage products rely on SCA Biorepair Technology to target common signs of aging, such as loss of skin elasticity and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. You might not think that a snail is the key to the fountain of youth, but when it comes to Tensage products, a snail is precisely the creature you need to restore your skin's natural beauty.
Repairing your skin after years of natural aging is not a simple task. Many brands try to target the fine lines and wrinkles that might appear around your eyes and mouth, the sagging skin that might form around your jawline, or the dry skin that might appear everywhere. These signs of aging are common, but that doesn't mean they are easily or instantly treated with any product that promises anti-aging solutions. However, Tensage has built its brand on its unique and clinically researched SCA Biorepair Technology, which has been found to regenerate damaged tissues. In fact, this technology has been used in Europe for more than two decades. Now, it is available to consumers in the U.S. Younger appearing skin doesn't always occur easily, but with scientifically backed research and innovative technologies, Tensage wants to help you discover your very own fountain of youth.

Will it be twilight for Twinkies in our time?
(Page 2 of 2)
To prove the hold that these little cakes have on the American imagination, there was a well-documented experiment conducted in 1995 at Rice University known as the Test with Inorganic Noxious Kakes in Extreme Circumstances. In pursuit of higher knowledge — and coincidentally, during finals week — a group of frat boys conducted several experiments on Twinkies and posted their results on a website.
The tests included: exposure to radiation (Twinkies will explode after 10 minutes in a microwave and cover the oven with a smelly, brown goo); resistivity (two people pulling at either end of a Twinkie will get a handful of cream in two seconds); and gravitational pull (yep, they dropped the Twinkies off a five-story dormitory). Their parents must be so proud.
As we go to press, there is a twinkle of a possibility that another company may step in to buy the Twinkie brand, even as Hostess heads to bankruptcy court.
There is other good news as well. Even if Hostess goes out of business and no one wants to keep Twinkies alive, there is an active black market in existing supplies. And because most of the ingredients are artificial, Twinkies have an astoundingly long shelf life. Some say they are like cockroaches, and can survive anything, including a nuclear attack. We can only hope.

Decrease in volume and increase in rates continue to be the norm, according to TCP survey
September 21, 2011
As the economy continues to show continued evidence of slower-than-expected growth, that same trend is evident in the trucking market based on the results of the Third Quarter 2011 Transport Capital Partners (TCP) Business Expectations Survey.
In the survey, TCP found that 45 percent of the 125 carrier executives polled indicated that they expect volume increases over the next 12 months. This is a steep drop-off from 92.4 percent in February. Another 46.7 percent expect volumes to remain the same, and the percentage of respondents that think volume will decline went from 0 percent in February to 7.5 percent in August.
Among the reasons for this decline cited by TCP were the general malaise in the economic outlook and a lack of consumer and business confidence, too.
"This is pretty low compared to what we were seeing before, but it is also not as bad as it was in early 2009," said Lana Batts, TCP partner, in an interview. "If carriers can at least maintain current volume levels, that is somewhat of a positive. If you look at tonnage numbers, the spot market and other indices like the UCLA-Ceridian PCI and Cass Freight Index in recent months, it is easy to see that they are all sideway, especially over the last four months."
Of the carriers surveyed, nearly 60 percent of small carriers—with revenues under $25 million—expect volumes to increase, while slightly less than 40 percent of larger carriers—with revenues over $25 million—feeling the same way. For those carriers that think volume levels will remain the same, larger carriers led the way at slightly more than 50 percent, and smaller carriers checked in at slightly less than 40 percent.
With such a dramatic drop on display, Batts noted that it was not a surprising one either.
Looking at the current rate outlook, TCP found that the percentage of carriers expecting rates to increase over the next 12 months fell from 89 percent to 60.7 percent and the number expecting rates to remain the same was up from 10.6 percent to 33.6 percent, matching up closely with the survey's volume expectations.
"There are more people expecting rate increases than volume increases," said Batts. "This addresses the capacity issue. There is an expectation that rates will increase, because the trucks won't be there. It has been that way for a while. Rates will continue to go up; new truck sales just cannot make up the losses over the last four years."

Birth Place: Whitley Bay, Northumberland, England, GB
Born in 1981 in northern England a few days shy of Halloween, Riseborough was an inveterate people watcher from a young age. Keenly aware of her socio-economic status -- her father worked as a car salesman, and her mother was employed as both a secretary and beautician -- the young Riseborough closely observed those around her. Though she did well in the private school her parents placed her in, which they were able to afford thanks to the economic boom England enjoyed in the 1980s, she eventually dropped out and worked a number of odd jobs, including managing a Chinese restaurant, as a way to gain experience outside school walls. Her family lost everything in the early '90s recession, and t... Continue Bio >>

Lower prices, more output expected in Indiana agriculture next year
GOSHEN — Things are going to change for Indiana agriculture.
High corn prices will go away, but the tradeoff will be a massive crop this year. That was one of the points made Friday morning, Sept. 13, in a webinar by Corinne Alexander, Purdue agricultural economist.
"The 2012 drought is one of the worst droughts on record," Alexander said. "What that resulted in was very high prices."
This year, though, "We are going to have a massive crop and ample corn," dropping corn prices to somewhere between $4.40 and $5.20 per bushel, she said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects a 13.8 billion-bushel crop in the U.S. off 97 million acres, Alexander said.
We're also poised to have a large soybean crop this year, estimated at 3.15 billion bushels in the U.S. "This would be the fourth largest soybean crop on record" and up from last year, though down from the record 3.5 billion bushels of 2009, Alexander said.
Soybean prices are expected to be somewhere between $11.50 and $13.50, Alexander said.
"We are in a world where we know that supply of these crops are going to catch up with demand. Looks like this is the year for corn, probably next year for soybeans," she said.
The good news for grain growers is the costs to plant next year's crop will be lower. Overall input costs for the corn crop should be about 91 percent of 2013's costs next year, and soybean costs will be 94 percent of this year's costs.
With the drop in grain prices, it will cost livestock producers less to feed their animals. Pork, chicken and turkey production should all rise 3 percent next year, with egg production expected to go up by 1 percent, Alexander said. Milk production should be up but prices should be stable, she said.
The only reduction in output for 2014 will be in the beef industry, even though U.S. per-capita meat consumption is expected to rise.
"The beef sector is under major pressure," she said. "The current size of the U.S. cattle herd is back to a size we have not seen since 1952," thanks to the ongoing drought in the major beef states.
After a quick spike in Indiana farmland values, Purdue's economists generally don't expect that to continue. "We don't anticipate farmland values will continue increasing like they have," following a rise to this year's average of $7,446 an acre. Next year they expect values to be relatively stable, anywhere from a 2 percent decline to a 7 percent rise.
In the long term, Alexander said, "in general I hear a lot of people pessimistic about farmland values," and she's pessimistic, too.
There's a similar projection for next year's cash rents, which Purdue's ag economists expect to come in anywhere from 1 percent below this year's level to 4 percent above it in 2014. After that, though, prices may drop in 2015 and 2016 as the grain markets equalize.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Headlights in stock than that.View Similar Products
Light & Motion Seca 1700 Light - Head Only $0.00
If you hammered your Seca 1700 Light, but still have your battery pack, get yourself a new Seca 1700 Head. Instead of accumulating clutter, simply replace what's broken and keep your setup streamlined. It's half the price of the light/battery combo, and will help free up budget space for other shiny bits.
Designed for night trail rides and racing, the Seca is Light & Motion's brightest offering. Light & Motion didn't simply add lumens to the Seca at the expense of weight and bulk, it redesigned the light to use the power output more efficiently, effectively increasing output and burn times. Due to the Seca's bi-conic reflector, its six LED bulbs cast an intense light in a wide beam that makes you forget that it's nighttime.
Four settings on the Seca let you adjust the output in accordance to the desired application. Now, you can expect a range between 1.5 to 15 hours of light. The high setting puts out 1700 lumens, medium 850, and low and flash are both at 425 lumens. All 1700 lumens come in handy on techy descents, but long slogs up fire roads don't require the same detail. In L&M's race mode setting, you can use less light while climbing by skipping the medium and flash mode -- this leaves you with the high and low settings only. And when you're ready to head back down, a push of the power button has you back at full power.
For convenience, the light mounts on either your helmet or handlebars.

Grand National Roadster Show Magazine Cover Cars - Cars That Made A DifferenceWritten by on June 1, 2010 Former Cover Cars Star At The Grand National Roadster Show
Indeed, if you look back over the years at STREET RODDER covers (there have been nearly 500 of them), you'll notice a common thread-most of the featured cars occupy a significant place in our hobby. For the sake of discussion, we'll call it the cool factor, and the cool factor is color blind. That, of course, helps explain why we've had bare-metal cars, red cars, black cars, flamed cars, purple cars, earth-toned cars, body-less cars, even wood cars, positioned beneath our familiar front-page logo. This magazine is about cool cars-specifically cool street rods-and the coolest of the cool generally get picked for cover-car status.
The idea for the Cars That Made a Difference exhibit came during the '09 Grand National Roadster Show when show guru John Buck discovered someone on his staff couldn't count! The overflow of cars showing up for the '09 show was more than could be accounted under the existing roofs set aside for the GNRS so Building 3 (Millard Sheets Center for the Arts at the Fairplex), normally reserved for art exhibits, was pressed into service. This building has carpeted floors, painted walls, direct lighting, and distinctly lower ceiling-all lending to a more intimate feeling. That's when Editor Brian Brennan began mulling over the idea of a special magazine exhibit at the GNRS. With the blessings and pocketbook from the show, an idea began to take root. The staff of both SR and Rod & Custom began thinking, "Why not showcase some of our cover cars at a big event?"
Fittingly, Millard Owen Sheets was a well-known painter born in Pomona, and since our exhibit would focus on the art aspect of the cover cars, this modest structure tucked away in the corner of the Fairplex would be just right. The gallery's soft lighting, painted walls, and carpeted floors lent an artsy flavor to our exhibit, too, which prompted the magazine staffs to take the idea to the next level. We'd place the cars in formation along the walls, and there would be no ropes or stanchions to block the view. This is art, dangit, so we didn't intend to spoil the experience for people visiting the gallery.
As a way of showcasing each car, educating patrons, and as a small token of appreciation, the metal 24x36 covers featured each car. Poster-sized covers, with a few facts about each car, were ceremoniously placed on the wall behind the cars on display. Another "aha" moment produced gallery-sized photos that served as additional backdrops throughout the entire exhibit. In all, we had more than 100 photos that have appeared in our magazines. (The photos eventually ended up as artwork adorning the new office walls in Irvine, California.)
Back to the show: Invites were sent to far too few (room was an issue) of the magazine's cover alumni. Too many cars, not enough space. And as a bonus, many of the builders and car owners spent time in the gallery during the three-day show where they could answer questions or share some of their memories with visitors. Tommy Ivo, Magoo, Blackie Gejeian, Jim "Jake" Jacobs, Roy Brizio, Bobby Alloway, Jimmie Vaughan, Chip Foose, Richard Graves, Bob Kolmos, Spence Murray, and other icons were there, and they were quite accessible to anybody willing to make conversation with them. If you were a street rod fan, and you were in the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts during the '10 Grand National Roadster Show, then you were in a position to also enjoy a moment of hot rod nirvana.
Perhaps one enthusiast said it best when the three-day show had run its course: "It [the cover car exhibit] reminded me of a high school class reunion, and the homecoming queen and her court were celebrated one more time. The only difference," he added, "was that most of these homecoming beauties haven't aged a bit!"

W.Va. abortion clinics not cooperating with Morrisey review
West Virginia's two stand-alone abortion clinics aren't cooperating with Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's review of abortion regulation.
The clinics -- both located in Charleston -- submitted short responses to Morrisey's inquiry this week, but would not answer the attorney general's specific questions about medical procedures performed at the facilities.
"Hopefully, Mr. Morrisey will accept this as a sign that it is time for him to move on," said Margaret Chapman Pomponio, executive director of West Virginia Free, an abortion rights group. "We hope Mr. Morrisey will get on with the people's business and stop his politically motivated inquisition."
The ACLU of West Virginia and women's health advocates say Morrisey's review is a veiled attempt to outlaw abortion in the state. Morrisey opposes abortion.
Morrisey sent letters to the abortion clinics on June 17, directing them to answer 17 questions about abortion regulation and medical procedures. Monday was the deadline for the clinics to respond.
In a written response sent to Morrisey's office Tuesday, Dr. Garli Harish of the Kanawha Surgicenter clinic in Kanawha City, said doctors and health advocates are "concerned when...any state official may single out certain health care providers for scrutiny for reasons unrelated to medical care and public health."
Harish added that the clinic "was unaware of any legal obligation" to respond to Morrisey's questions. The attorney general did not issue subpoenas for the information
"We have no objection to confirming that we follow all federal, state and local laws, and that we provide the highest quality of medical care available," Harish wrote to Morrisey. "Our mission is to continue to work every day to make sure West Virginia women receive the medical care they need to stay healthy, to care for themselves, and to care for their families."
In a separate letter, Women's Health Center of West Virginia, told Morrisey that its clinic also "complies with all laws and regulations." But the health center would not disclose its abortion procedures, citing an ongoing lawsuit filed by a Charleston woman who alleges a Women's Health Center doctor botched her abortion last year.
"The center is not in the position of providing substantive responses to your letter," said Sharon Lewis, the clinic's executive director, in a response sent to Morrisey Monday. "...We must decline to respond to your inquiries and allow the discovery process and justice system to address those matters."
Women's Health Center and Surgicenter executives have declined to comment to the media on Morrisey's review.
Morrisey released the abortion clinics' letters Monday amid plans to push ahead with his review - with or without the clinics' cooperation.
"We will continue our efforts to review the state of abortion regulation in West Virginia and seek to ensure that women's health is protected," Morrisey said in prepared statement.
Morrisey started his abortion regulation review last month, citing a lawsuit filed by a Charleston woman against Dr. Rodney Lee Stephens and the Women's Health Center, which provides elective abortions.
The Family Policy Council of West Virginia, a conservative evangelical group that opposes abortion, is representing the 26-year-old woman, Itai Gravely, who alleges Stephens botched her abortion and left the head of the fetus in her uterus.
"We are grateful that the attorney general continues to be concerned about the safety of women," said Jeremiah Dys, president of the Family Policy Council. "It is clearly more important than the abortionists' bottom-line profits."
Dys also took issue with Women's Health Center's response to Morrisey's review.
"It is shocking to see that, despite serious allegations against them, Women's Health Center of West Virginia believes what they did to Itai could possibly be called quality medical services," Dys said. "Whatever regulations Women's Health Center thinks are currently on the books - and we believe there are none - Dr. Stephens and Women's Health Center exposed Itai to extraordinary pain and suffering and placed her life in danger."
Morrisey has said he has the authority to review abortion regulations because he's "West Virginia's chief legal officer...charged with overseeing state legal policy and protecting the public interest."
In his June 17 letter to the abortion clinics, Morrisey asked for specifics about their abortion procedures and "informed consent" practices. The questions included:
Morrisey has said that no state agencies inspect or regulate abortion clinics in West Virginia.
Women's health advocates have countered that doctors, nurses and physicians assistants who work at the clinics must be licensed and report to state medical professional boards.
"Without a doubt, we must be clear that these women's health providers are regulated as any other health-care facility of their type under state and federal laws and regulations," Chapman Pomponio said Tuesday.
Morrisey's recent actions mirror those of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has supported bills to curb abortions by licensing and regulating abortion clinics. Cuccinelli spoke at a Morrisey campaign event last year.
"We would like to remind Mr. Morrisey that West Virginians are different from our neighbors in Virginia where his role model, Attorney General Cuccinelli, led a similar crusade against women's health providers," Chapman Pomponio said. "In West Virginia, we value a woman's health over politics, and we reject this type of government overstep into medicine."

BROOKEVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- A man was rescued from his car after it became stuck in high water early Thursday morning.
Assistant Chief Scott Graham, spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, says the man called for help from his car after his engine stalled in high water. His vehicle became stuck on a one lane bridge as water began to rise on Gold Mine Road at Chandlee Mill Road.
Officials say they brought the man out by boat a short time after rescuers arrived on scene.
According to officials, water levels in the area are still rising due to runoff, even though most of the rain has passed.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue have handled approximately five water rescues last night and early this morning.

The look is interesting but there are no actual houses, just businesses. Is there more to this map elsewhere? This would certainly make stumbling home after a night on the town very challenging!
I never intended to make this map really. I've been working on my antira-related series of maps and the town I have come to making is called Lyreton. It consists of a bridge and castle and town. I have done three versions of it now and dislike every one (I may post them at a later date as "generic" towns). In my frustration I decided to make a town of Vesper while I think of how to approach it. I usually have a couple of different projects in the works at any given moment which allows me to hop between them and stops me getting bored or really frustrated.
This is Vesper City as it appears in UO. Being an island-y city, it's sorta interesting in terms of layout. I decided to go with the palette I used on my Skara Brae map.
The look is interesting but there are no actual houses, just businesses. Is there more to this map elsewhere? This would certainly make stumbling home after a night on the town very challenging!
Wouldn't people just live above/next to their shops? In a medieval setting every man has his "own" business, there were no factories and office towers (I might be willing to make an exception for the tanner, the tannery should not be the same as his shop and flat ).
It's still unlikely that there would not be any buildings that were only houses.
And that font on the map, it's pretty interesting, but impossible to read if you don't know what it says beforehand. Otherwise it looks like Amskmr, or, if one happens to be knowledgeable in runes, you can get as close as "Aesker." But I can't see anyone being able to look at that and see "Vesper."
What Hai-Etlik said. =P Basically the "target audience" so to speak would be familiar with the runes.
Regarding the house thing, yes Vesper in UO has no pure houses (although in U7 it did I think, I can't remember). Many of the cities were designed that way now I think about it but I suspect it's partly for gameplay reasons.
Awesome stuff as always Larb. The layout of Vesper looks indeed very interesting. I also like this particular colour palette very much.
A town with all housing over businesses would be unusual, but not impossible. Not every place could be like that, but pretty much every shop would have a residence above it, and many craftsmen... maybe the tanner here has no sense of smell. It makes for a quick commute when you just have to walk downstairs to your business.
great work Larb, I like the colors and houses.. however all the houses are at the same angle, which would be rare especially when they are on different islands

Photos: H&M San Francisco Debuts Maison Martin Margiela
On November 13, the city's fashion-forward fans converged at H&M in Union Square for a private, invite-only shopping event that provided first access to the new exclusive collection from French designers Maison Martin Margiela.
Guests enjoyed gorgeous bites from Taste Catering; refreshing beverages including an inventive White Cosmo wine/vodka cocktail; and a fun soundscape from DJ Tender Buttons—all while exploring the MMM collection offered in a specially-designated area, and receiving a 25% discount off of everything else in the store.
According to H&M's website:
SF Street Style: A Modern Ad Man Shows Us Four Spring Looks, in The Mission
Meet Gabriel (Gabe) Johnson, born in Spanish Harlem, raised in Boston and, as of six years ago, a proud resident of San Francisco.
Gabe works as an adman, writing slick copy for the local boutique agency, Engine Company 1. When he's not busy getting wordy, he's involved in the local art and music scenes or in the kitchen, cookin' up something tasty.
Gabe kind of does it all, and he looks damn good while doing it. From nautical stripes to frayed-edge shorts, check out what he's wearing this spring.
SF Street Style: One Guy, Three Looks, Bernal Heights
I met photographer Abraham (Abe) Espiritu a few years back, and have always dug how he pieces modern and vintage clothing to present personal, yet on-trend looks. Last weekend, I asked him to pull together a few rain-and-shine spring looks for a little photoshoot in his hood, Bernal Heights. The end result included a fantastic mix of rain boots, black-on-black, white pants, sockless oxfords, a cool chambray, and fiery vintage prints. Check it out.
SF Street Style: Balenciaga, H&M and Custom Jewelry at Union Square
H&M visual merchandiser, Mark Jssn, was analyzing the (super sold out) Marni for H&M window displays when we stopped him on Powell St. Mark moved up to SF five years ago, from San Jose, and says he loves the city for, "the diversity of people and because SF is so laid back." And we love Mark's look for the nicely mixed (loose/tight) proportions and (high/low) brands.
SF Street Style: A Fashion Shoot at Crissy Field
Last weekend, among the frenzy of tourists, athletes and fisherman, we found a fashion stylist, model and photographer at Crissy Field. Freelance photographer, Stephen Sun, was busy setting up the shoot, while ex-SF and now Sacramento-based hair and wardrobe stylist, Noelle Lynne, dressed JE Model, Keilina Jones in hot pink hot pants and a towering pair of Michael Antonio wedges.
SF Street Style: A Latvian Fashion Blogger at the de Young
Last weekend, we caught up with Atlanta-based Latvian fashion blogger, Karina De Jesus, while on a weekend trip in SF. Karina was taking in the stunning 360-degree view of SF at the de Young tower when we stopped her for a few photos and her take on San Francisco.
SF Street Style: Dark Autumn Palate in the Castro
While wandering the Castro, I spotted Jay L. Malvar in a perfectly transitional fall outfit. I love the deep autumn palate, offset by the gold rose pin and how his leather jacket was hung gently over his shoulders.
SF Street Style: The Man in The Red Bow-Tie, in The Mission
I caught up with visual designer Shawn Carrico, while standing in line at the SF Street Food Festival, last Saturday in the Mission. His red bow-tie and wicked-sharp glasses immediately caught my attention but, while he's incorporated great details, his outfit is still refreshingly casual -- and thus, street food appropriate. Shawn said his favorite eats at the festival were the Penang Curry Bomb Bun and Sharbat from Azalina's.
SF Street Style: European Family Style at Off The Grid
There were so many great casual looks at Off The Grid Ft. Mason, that it was hard to shoot just one person. In fact, I ended up finding a very stylish Madrid-turned-SF trio: Silvia, a Language Specialist at eBay, looking cute in her blue and yellow; little Leah, 18-months-old, with fantastic hair; Markus, head of SEO at Yahoo!, talk about a swoony dad.
Aprizi Gives Big Love to the Little Guys
Fashion is fast, and we, savvy shoppers, are always on the prowl for the next big thing. Sure, H&M is a staple and we love mega fashion houses like Prada, but isn't it great when you find a unique item from an amazing, emerging designer?
Aprizi, a NYC-based startup, is taking a new approach to online shopping by filtering out the big brands and only featuring high-quality independent designs. Think Design*Sponge meets ShopStyle.
