Head-to-head: Rafa 12, Fed 6
Last meeting: Wimbledon, Rafa 6-4 6-4 6-7 (5) 6-7 (8) 9-7
The next chapter in this already legendary rivalry between top seed Rafael Nadal and second seeded Roger Federer is ready to be told.
In the pair's 19th career meeting, Rafa will be looking to win his first hard-court major title and sixth overall when he battles 3-time champ Roger Federer who will attempt to tie Pete Sampras' record of 14 career major titles in Sunday's Aussie Open final. Let's take a look...
How They Got Here: Rafa played his first five matches in blazing form, not dropping a single set on his way to the final four. But that streak ended when he met up with compatriot Fernando Verdasco in an epic semifinal slugfest that now sits as the longest match in Oz Open history. No one will soon forget the stirring images from this now-classic match including the joy and relief of Rafa's reaction after a painful double-fault on match point by Nando gave the 22-year old a 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (1), 6-4 victory.
Regal Rog also began the tourney relatively well but hit a major speed bump in his fourth rounder, coming back from 2 sets to none down to defeat Czech Tomas Berdych. In his semifinal match, Fed confronted an in-form, in-shape Andy Roddick but bested the American baller for the 16th time 6-2, 7-5, 7-5 to enter his fourth Oz Open final and fourth consecutive major final.
The last time these two met was in arguably the greatest tennis match ever played - the '08 Wimbledon final. It was the third consecutive meeting for the pair in the Wimby final but this time Rafa came out on top, earning his first Championship and stopping the Swiss stylist's streak of 5 consecutive titles at the All-England Club with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 win.
In his semifinal post-match presser, the Mallorcan Matador was asked about facing Fed again and what tactics he might employ:
Q. How exciting is it for you to finally play Federer in a Grand Slam on hard court?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, always is ‑ I don't know ‑ special play against Federer any match, no? You play another final of Grand Slam is more exciting, no?
Little bit unlucky. Don't know how I gonna be for the final. I gonna try my best for sure for recover my body and my physical performance. But, you know, after one match like this, the next days you feel much heavier, no?
But for sure for me is amazing play another final of Grand Slam. Here in Australia, the first one. Well, unlucky all the time is against the same: the best. For sure, I prefer another opponent. But that's makes big the sport, too, no, finals like this.
Q. Do you plan to play closer to the baseline against Federer? Tonight you had to run really a lot.
RAFAEL NADAL: Was tough to be more inside, no? What do you think? Did you see the speed of the ball or not (laughter)?
Q. I saw he was able to stay farther in front.
RAFAEL NADAL: I would love to be more inside, yeah. I gonna try to be more inside for the final, but I am playing against Federer.
Fed was asked about Rafa's grueling 5-hour semifinal bout and if he thought now had an advantage in the final:
Q. You had a bit of trouble watching last night's match did you, or did you have to get back down here to do it?Outlook: In full flight, Rafa would have more than enough game to topple The Fed in Oz. But after his grueling semifinal that ended in the early morning hours on Saturday and only a day to recover and get in some practice, will he be fit for the fight? Big question mark. But if anyone has the mental and physical strength to push the pain aside and pull through, it's Rafa. This time, however, it may be too much to ask. The top baller will need to pull ahead early (as he did at Wimby), keep the points short, hold his ground on the baseline, and step inside and attack when the opportunity hits. If he gets the first set or two, then game on.
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I was practicing at the beginning of the match. It took a while, so I went for dinner and saw the end. It was really exciting. It was an unbelievable match.
Q. What did you think about? What was going through your mind as you were watching it?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, as I didn't see the whole thing, it was kind of difficult to judge. But you heard, you know, that Fernando was struggling with his leg, you know, at one stage, but then looked much better again.
But it was just good to see such a close contested match, I thought. In the end it was unfortunate it had to finish on a double fault, but I thought the quality was very good.
Q. It was one of the great ones. Does it make you feel that you've got more of that advantage now that you've had the extra 24 hours and Rafa has had to dig so deep through five hours?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, you could think that way, but I don't think it's really going to affect Rafa that much. He's had very easy matches going into this semifinal.
Okay, he has a day less. But, look, I mean, you got to be fit and recover from this kind of a match. I think he will, even though he took a while. His matches usually take longer than other matches because he takes his time out on the court. I don't think he will be really affected on Sunday.
For his part, Fed will be looking to lengthen the rallies, move Rafa side to side, and maybe throw in some drop shots to gauge the Spaniard's fitness early on. But the 13-time Grand Slammer is certainly the fresher of the two and will hold the advantage if they match gets to a fourth or fifth set. He'll still need to serve well, dictate with the forehand, and end points at the net in order to keep the World No.1 from gaining any momentum. Fed will be smart to stay aggressive and attack at every opportunity because even a weary Rafa will push himself to run for the fences.
However, with all that's on the line for Regal Rog coupled with a possibly-fatigued Rafa, we'll most likely looking at history in the making when he earns his second consecutive Grand Slam title and record-tying 14th career major in Oz.

It's hot as balls out here in L.A. today, and what I'm dreaming of is rain. Torrential downpours. A deluge of water from heaven. Sheets upon sheets of cooling showers.
Since I can't actually make it rain (well, not water, anyway), I'll do the second best thing, and select a series of bags that are the color of a refreshing summer downpour.

Renwick agribusinessman Harold Trask said he is as concerned as anyone about saving taxpayer money, but when improvements involved public safety issues, changes need to be made.
Trask spoke to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Monday morning at the board's regular weekly meeting. His concern was the safety of the intersection at County Roads C-54 and P-66 in southern Humboldt County.
Trask said his daughter-in-law, Gidget Trask, was involved in a T-bone collision at the intersection in April 2011, and a car-semi collision Friday at the intersection resulted in the death of a Bode man and injuries to a Fort Dodge driver.
"I know it's not my responsibility or the county's on how people drive, and I don't want the county spending more money than it has to, but ask yourself if it was your wife, or son or daughter involved in a collision there, wouldn't you want that intersection to be as safe as possible?" Trask asked.
Located two miles south of Thor, the intersection is not visually obstructed, and is clearly marked with a stop sign, but apparently it is an intersection that some people are not preparing to stop at.
Trask suggested rumble strips be placed on the road to alert drivers that a stop is ahead.
County Road C-54 ends at the intersection and continues westbound in Norway Township as county gravel road, 270th Street.

The perfect look can be achieved with the perfect tools. While color is all inviting and often gets all of the glory in the makeup world, it is often the tools that make the biggest difference even though they rarely or never take center stage.
While eye color is fun and sexy, overgrown eyebrows can ruin any look. Specially made tweezers shape and tame with precision and perfection, requiring little time, effort and discomfort. Choose from a variety of fashion tweezers in different sizes, colors and patterns. Who said grooming had to be boring?
Not everyone struggles with overgrown brows. Some of us need a little help filling in sparse areas. Eyebrow stencils take the guesswork out of eye pencil by guiding the user through the process of creating the perfect brow. These are convenient tools that make for a fuss-free application every time.
While mascaras make the lashes look fuller and thicker, combs and curlers can enhance the shape and definition of lashes, contributing to the overall appearance of the lash line.
Applicators can help achieve a smooth and flawless look with less mess and fuss. Proper application can extend wear and prevent problems such as smudging and fading.

Plymouth County Provides Good Pheasant Hunting
(Le Mars) -- The Pheasants Forever organization has ranked the nation's top 25 locations for pheasant hunting. As you might imagine, South Dakota is a popular hunting ground with six of the top locations. But Le Mars and Plymouth County was rated at number 23. The editors of the wildlife sportsman's magazine says "Plymouth County and the northwest corner of Iowa currently provide the best pheasant hunting opportunities in the Hawkeye State." Bob Puetz serves as Plymouth County's Pheasant Forever chapter president.
Listen here
Puetz says the ranking may help attract hunting tourism to the area. He believes Plymouth County may have received the rating based on the local chapter's efforts of constantly adding habitat acres for pheasants.
Listen here
The state trend shows a decline in pheasant numbers, but Pitts believes the trend will reverse itself in Plymouth county.
Listen here
Okoboji and the surrounding Iowa Great Lakes region was the only other Iowa location mentioned. The Okoboji region placed ninth for the best pheasant hunting.

We have just learnt a really nice fact about the game of tic-tac-toe. As you may know, tic-tac-toe always results in a draw if both players make the best moves possible at every step of the game. To force a draw you need to follow a particular strategy, which isn't too hard, but tedious to write down (see here).
But now imagine you play tic-tac-toe the other way around, so that the first person to get three in a row loses the game. Again the game will end in a draw if both players play optimally. But this time the strategy for the first player is really easy: at your first move, choose the central square, and after that simply mirror your opponent's moves. By "mirror" we mean that you choose the square that is diametrically opposite the last square the opponent chose: if the opponent chose the top right corner, you choose the bottom left one, if they chose the middle top one, you choose the middle bottom one, and so on.
The same works in a version of tic-tac-toe that has, not 3x3, but nxn squares, where n is an odd number (if n is even there is no central square). Again we play the version in which the player who first gets n in a row loses. If the first player adopts the strategy above, they will never lose.
It's not too difficult to see why this strategy works. Let's call the player who goes first A and the other one B. After A takes the central square at the first move, B goes next and A mirrors B from then on. This means that whatever configuration of squares A has taken, B has taken the mirror image of the same configuration first. In particular, if A was forced to take n squares in a row, then B must have taken n squares in a row at the previous move, so B would have lost before A even got to make the supposed losing move. Nice!

Can we always find order in systems that are disordered? If so, just how large does a system have to be to contain a certain amount of order? In this video Imre Leader of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge gives an equation free introduction to a fascinating area of maths called Ramsey theory.
This talk was originally given to an audience of Year 12 A-level maths students (aged 16-17) in June this year and formed part of a mathematics enrichment day organised by the Millennium Mathematics Project with a special focus on encouraging the development of mathematical thinking.
Intrigued? You can read a brief description of Ramsey theory or find out more in our more detailed article. And you can also find out how Ramsey theory gives us one of our favourite numbers.

Mr and Mrs Huntrodd were both born on the same day — 19 September 1600. That's quite a coincidence isn't it? (See here just how much of a coincidence this is.) What's even more of a coincidence is that they both died, within 5 hours of each other, on the same day too, which was… drum roll please… 19 September 1680! This seems very surprising. So surprising that even the very hard to surprise Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter OBE, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk and friend of Plus, was surprised. So surprised that he took this photo and is now throwing a party to celebrate this unlikely event with party, this Friday 19 September.

We have several images of the week this week! And they all come from the beautiful design for the new maths gallery that will open at the Science Museum in London in 2016. The first is the inspiration that Zaha Hadid Architects used for the layout of the gallery. It's the turbulence field of an aircraft which captures how the air moves around it. This is mathematically described by the Navier Stokes equations, which apply in many different situations, from modelling the weather to understanding how blood flows. (You can read more about the Navier Stokes equations in Universal pictures and turbulence in Understanding turbulence.)

The Handley Page Gugnunc in flight
The plane that will hang in the centre of the gallery is a Handley Page Gugnuncs. This experimental plane was designed for the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft competition in 1929 which aimed to find planes that could fly safely at slow speeds and with short takeoffs. The research beind the plane profoundly advanced aviation technology and understanding at the very beginnings of civilian air travel. (You can read two brilliant articles from the 1930s about the competition and the aircraft itself.)Behind the plane are three minimal surfaces (surfaces with the smallest possible area that satisfy some constraints) that are based on the shapes of the vortices in the turbulence created behind the plane in flight. The equation defining these
The design or the Handley Page exhibit in the new maths gallery
is a complicated looking combination of familiar sine functions that is governed by six different parameters. By varying the values of these parameters, the , the surface bends and twists producing a whole family of different shapes. Some of these will be created will be created in physical form to provide the support display cases used throughout the galleries. You can play with these surfaces yourself or just watch their creation in the video below.
It is thrilling to see such a striking, beautiful and mathematical design for the gallery. But of course the real strength will be the exhibits themselves. These will span 400 years of science and mathematics with objects ranging from hand-held mathematical instruments from the renaissance to modern technology. We all know that maths is the language of the universe and we can't wait to see what stories we'll find in the new maths gallery when it opens in 2016.

While I might not be a very experienced hunter, I do have some tips that help me. Using reference points to compare antlers to will allow you to have a pretty close idea. A muley's ears are roughly 8 inches long and about 20 inches from tip to tip. If yo have a deer with a rack that looks to be about 3 inches outside of his ears and with tines that are close to ear length, assuming its a traditional you can figure about 90 inches without mainbeam or mass measurements. For a mass reference, use the deers eye. It will have a surcumference of approximately 4.5 inches. If the beams look to be at least as thick as the eye throughout, figure another 16-18 inches per side. That brings the estimate to 126. Using the ear reference and assumption that mainbeam length is shorter than spread, you might figure a length of 23 inches or so. Add it all up and you get an estimated 172 inch deer. I hope I articulated that clearly and added correctly, haha.
I was using a typical 4 point as my example and the measurements I came up with were as follows:
G1: not counted to balance over inflation.
G2: 16 inch
G3: 8 inch
G4: 8 inch
Four mass measurments of 4.5 inch
Spread 26 inch.

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
A symbol of strength and intelligence, topaz derives its name from Topazios, an island in the Red Sea that is known today as Zabargad. The Greek word "topazios" means "to seek," since the island was covered with a thick fog and difficult to find. Gemstones found on the island were called topaz, although the stones were eventually found to actually be peridot. The real gem of topaz is found throughout the world, with different occurrences producing specific colors.
Brown, yellow, orange and red topaz are found in Brazil, Sri Lanka and Siberia. Most brownish topaz is heated to produce a permanent and glamorous pink color. Following the discovery of pink topaz in Russia during the 19th century, Imperial topaz was found. Featuring a sherry red, deep pink or reddish-orange color, the gem was so coveted that its ownership was restricted to the Czar, his family and those who received it as a royal gift. Today, Imperial shades are the most rare and, therefore, the most valuable.
Blue topaz is rarely found in nature and is most often created through a combination of heat treatment and irradiation. It is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and China. Topaz is often colorless, too, and can be found in the United States, Mexico, Russia and Pakistan. In 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance with a greenish-blue or emerald green color. All colors of topaz rank an 8.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness.
Yellow topaz is November's birthstone and blue topaz is December's birthstone. Blue topaz is also the traditional gift for 4th and 19th wedding anniversaries, while Imperial topaz is celebrated as a 23rd anniversary gift. Perhaps the most famous topaz is a large, colorless stone known as the Braganza. It was discovered in Brazil in 1740 and was originally thought to be a priceless diamond. Today, the giant 1,680.00ct stone is set in the Portuguese Crown.
The mystery and allure of topaz goes back thousands of years. To the ancients, it was a symbol of love and affection and was thought to ward off sudden death. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, the god of the sun. The Greeks called it the Stone of Strength, believing it had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. The Egyptians said the gem was colored with the golden glow of the sun god, Ra, making topaz a powerful amulet that protected its wearer against harm.
Topaz's mystical curative powers were believed to wax and wane with the phases of the moon. The gem was said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink and falcons were carved on the stones to help earn the goodwill of kings and magnates. During the spread of the Bubonic plague in 1347-1400, the clergy touched topaz to people's sores. Also in medieval times, the gem was thought to prevent death and heal physical and mental disorders. The stones were ground into powder and added to wine to prevent asthma and insomnia.
Today, topaz is said to be the gem that has the widest range of curative powers. It is believed to dispel enchantment, improve eyesight and protect against negative emotions such as depression, anger, fear, greed and envy. Its properties are supposedly enhanced when the gem is mounted in gold. Because of this association with gold, topaz is used to bring or enhance the wearer's money-gathering abilities and has long been used in money and wealth rituals.
Wearing topaz is said to improve and deepen relationships, promote patience, ensure fidelity and enhance the ability to love. The gem is also believed to bring friendship, intelligence, long life, beauty and a pleasant disposition.

1970 Plymouth Cuda - Finger Lakes FlyerWritten on May 1, 2008 Young Guns Club
As this issue of Mopar Muscle hits the streets, Justin Swank's '70 'Cuda is awakening from its winter-long hibernation, ready to rumble on the streets and twisties of central New York. Justin, who hails from Phelps, New York-in the heart of NY's Finger Lakes region-is this month's Young Guns Club winner, scoring a gift certificate from Blue Zombie.
Justin is the fourth generation of gearheads and car collectors in his family. He cites his grandfathers, father, uncles, and cousins as huge influences on restoring and collecting cars. As Justin puts it, "It's always been about family restorations and going fast!"
A '70 'Cuda had been Justin's dream ride, long before he found and purchased this numbers-matching 'Cuda 340 in 2002. All the engine, drivetrain, body, paint, and detail work was done by Justin and his family. That included building up a 360 to replace (for now) the 340, which Justin says will go back in eventually, paired up again with the 'Cuda's original 727.
It's been his good-weather fun car over the past two summers, taking the brutal New York winters off, escaping the snow and salt that comes with them. Justin takes it to a couple cruise nights a year, and he also enjoys the simple pleasures of laying patches and cruising around in it.
Blue Zombie of Collinsville, Virginia, is one of largest suspension companies in the United States, offering full suspension kits and individual components for virtually all Mopars.
Selling only Made-In-America parts and components is just one thing that separates Blue Zombie from the rest. Selection is another. Blue Zombie sells graphite polyurethane and OEM-style front suspension kits, tubular A-arms and K-frames, sway bar kits, and American Made rear leaf springs.
Blue Zombie's distribution and customer service facility is headquartered alongside their parent company, AutoInstruments.com, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, only a few miles from Martinsville Speedway in an area known as The Moonshine Capital of the World. Curvy mountain roads and a heavy NASCAR influence in the region have influenced the design and quality of their suspension kits.
If you need to have the suspension rebuilt on your car, give Blue Zombie a call today and let them help bring your car back from the dead!

|PC Telcom prepares for more changes in the upcoming year
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Members of PC Telcom gathered Thursday, April 11 in the HHS auditorium to discuss how the company fared in 2012, what the future holds for members and to elect two members to fill the rural and urban seats.
Vince Kropp, PC Telcom CEO/general manager, described the advancements of the company and informed members of possible obstacles they may face in the future.
In the past year, PC Telcom continued the ongoing replacement of outdated copper cable with fiber optic cable. The company installed approximately 100 miles of fiber optic cable and electronics at an approximate cost of $1.4 million.
"In addition to providing far greater capacities, fiber optics are now more economical to install, require less maintenance and are far less susceptible to interference such as water intrusion and radio frequency interference," said Kropp.
Last year PC Telcom increased Internet speeds from 2.0 Mbps to 6.0 Mbps and currently provides download speeds up to 30.0 Mbps. Rural connections with 6.0 Mbps and greater require fiber optics connections.
Kropp stated that in the upcoming year, the company plans to install an additional 20 miles of fiber optic cables in rural areas. Their goal is to have nearly 100 percent of all subscribers be served by fiber optics within the next five and a half years. Plans have also been made to improve and expand the fixed wireless and broadband facilities.
PC Telcom is currently deploying the PCTV+, a video product delivered over high-speed or Internet connection. Kropp pointed out some of the nice features offered by the product, including its ability to bridge the gap between traditional cable television content and online content.
Amazon, Hulu Plus, Netflix and YouTube are all options for video content.
"Some of the programming costs on cable television systems have doubled in the last three-five years," Kropp said. "I am hopeful that as video content expands on the Internet, consumers will find new choices for video programming and they will choose the channels they wish to purchase as opposed to being forced to buy 100 plus channels to get the handful of channels they choose to watch."
The Federal Communications Commission is beginning to explore ways to transition telecommunications regulations to broadband and Internet protocol, but are currently regulating voice services, which Kropp referred to as "yesterday's technology."
The FCC has mandated that the local access rates are at the benchmark level of $14 before July 1. Next year the benchmark is expected to rise to approximately $16.50 for residential service.
The FCC has encouraged and mandated certain levels of increased broadband availability. To meet the FCC's broadband plan, PC Telcom has upgraded its infrastructure. Impacts from the FCC's regulatory changes will have long-lasting effects on PC Telcom.
"About 55 percent of our revenue is at stake with intercarrier compensation and universal service reform," Kropp said.
Kropp pointed out that Colorado Eagle-Net Alliance was awarded a grant of $146 million in 2010 to deliver high-speed fiber-optic networks to areas that were lacking broadband or were not served. According to Kropp, Eagle-Net set out to serve schools, libraries and medical centers, but still steals customers from PC Telcom in a way in which Kropp referred to as "cherry-picking."
"If Eagle-Net is allowed to compete in this unfair manner, it will remove tax dollars from rural Colorado because Eagle-Net does not pay property taxes as a state agency. It will move jobs to Denver and will cause a serious loss of revenue for providers such as PC Telcom," Kropp explained.
"To put more perspective on this, I will say that I am aware of a handful of countries that have state-run telecommunication networks. One of those countries borders South Korea to the north. I guess my question to elected officials who are backing these is, 'Are we going in the right direction with this? Does this sound like efforts of democracy or the exact opposite?'"
Finances for 2012 reported
PC Telcom accountant Jessica Cumming presented members with the financial report for 2012.
With operating revenue totaling $5,004,029, and total operating expenses representing $4,796,262, PC Telcom ended 2012 with a net income of $473,895.
Total current assets increased to $3,022,650 from $1,944,218 in 2011. Non-current assets significantly increased from $118,782 in 2011 to $246,092 in 2012. Total liabilities and members' equity increased from $14,665,415 in 2011 to $16,296,564.
"PC Telcom's vision is to be your premiere technology solution," Cumming stated. "Being able to achieve that mission requires investments in a necessary plant to provide those solutions."
In the past 10 years, PC Telcom has increased total plant services nearly $15 million to $22,235,162 in 2012.
"These investments have opened a world of opportunity in products and services to you, the membership," Cumming said.
Being involved in a cooperative such as PC Telcom means the members own the company. As a result, they share in the profits that are made through a capital credit allocation.
Customers/members of PC Telcom in 2000 and/or 2011 will soon receive a capital credit refund check from the company. This check reflects $50,000 of the year 2011 patronage assigned to accounts.
Schneider, Sagehorn elected to board
Incumbent John Schneider was re-elected for his second term at the urban position while Diane Sagehorn will take over her first term at the rural position.
Others on the board include Rick Krueger, Randy Martin and Jerold Brandt.
Kropp also acknowledged Carol Krumm who has put in 20 years of service with the company.
The Holyoke Jazz Band provided the entertainment for the night with their performance of the Mission Imposible theme song, "Stairway to Heaven" and "Come Sail Away."
Prior to the business meeting, members enjoyed a catered meal by The Skillet. Members also had the chance to win a variety of door prizes given away at the meeting.

Papain is a protease enzyme that comes from the unripe fruit of the papaya tree. Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together to form long chains, and proteases break apart these bonds. Papain is an ingredient in commercial meat tenderizers. Meat consists of strands of muscle tissue held together by a tough protein called collagen. Papain breaks down the bonds in these collagen proteins, making the meat less tough and easier to eat.
Making meat tender isn't the only function of papain. It has a number of applications in the medical field as well. Because it can cleave the bonds that hold protein together, papain has been used in the past as an ingredient in products used to debride wounds. For some wounds to heal, it's necessary to remove dead and damaged tissue. Papain "digests" damaged skin tissue without harming healthy skin tissue. Once the healthy tissue is broken down, it can be removed more easily to make room for the growth of healthy tissue. Papain has been used medically to debride a variety of wounds including surgical wounds, burns, cysts, diabetic ulcers and bed sores. Over-the-counter topical drug treatments that contain papain are no longer available since some people who are allergic to papaya experienced reactions.
Papain is also an ingredient in a dental product called Papacarie used to treat dental caries without cutting and drilling. The papain in this product breaks down the damaged tissue inside the cavity without damaging the normal tooth structure. This reduces or eliminates the need for drilling and is less damaging to teeth. It's also less painful to the patient. In addition, papain is an ingredient in enzymatic cleaners used to clean contact lenses. Health food stores market papain as a supplement to aid digestion. Some people have low levels of hydrochloric acid and other enzymes that break down protein. Papain aids digestion in the stomach by breaking down the protein bonds in meat and other foods that contain protein.
Papain is also an ingredient in some skin care products. Topically, it helps to break down the material between skin cells, allowing dead skin cells to be sloughed off. This uncovers fresh, healthy skin cells underneath, improving skin texture and giving skin a healthy glow. Some practitioners believe that papain helps to open up clogged pores and is effective for addressing blemish prone skin. This enzyme from the papaya fruit also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that may be beneficial for aneic complexions. Because of its ability to remove dead skin cells, papain is found in a variety of exfoliating skin care products including facial scrubs, body cleansers, facial masks and peels. It is also found in some hair conditioning products because it relieves static and helps to soften and smooth dry and damaged hair.
There are some safety considerations concerning papain. Oral papain supplements can cause irritation of the stomach lining and the mucous membranes of the throat. There is also the possibility of experiencing a life threatening allergic reaction to papain. This is more common in people who are allergic to latex. Anyone who has a latex allergy should avoid using products that contain papain. Due to these concerns, the FDA requested that companies stop selling unapproved topical drug products that contain papain. This includes a number of topical products used for treating wounds. The FDA still allows papain in cosmetic and skin care products. In the quantities found in cosmetic products, papain appears to be safe for people who aren't allergic to latex. It can be irritating to the skin, especially for people with sensitive skin.
All in all, papain in topical skin products is an effective exfoliating ingredient that sloughs off dead skin cells and improves skin texture. Removing dead skin cells helps skin reflect light better and gives it a more youthful appearance. Because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, it may be helpful for people with acne. It's also an effective conditioning and anti-static agent in hair care products. People who have a latex allergy should avoid products containing papain, and anyone that experiences significant skin irritation or redness shouldn't use it.

|Larson leaves MMH; interim CFO hired 'til replacement found
|Written by April Peregoy
Shelly Larson has decided to step down from her position as Melissa Memorial Hospital's CFO. Until a more permanent employee can be found to replace her, Jim Rush of Oregon will be acting as interim CFO.
A resolution allowing the temporary hiring of Rush was approved by the East Phillips County Hospital Board when they met Monday, Dec. 22.
With Larson already gone, Rush started the position on Monday, Dec. 29. At the latest, he is expected to stay until March, though administrator John Ayoub hopes a permanent replacement can be found before then.
In other staff news, it was noted by Ayoub he has made some operational changes within the hospital and clinic positions. Three new positions have been created, which will be filled by employees already working at MMH.
At the hospital, a new position was created for Pat Notter. Though no official title has been given to her yet, Ayoub said Notter will be doing a combination of pharmacy, care coordination and swing bed work.
Two employees at Family Practice Clinic will also be promoted to supervisory positions. The reason for this, said Ayoub, is to allow clinic manager Melissa Mayden more time for other things. "We want to give her more time to focus on providing quality service, including faster response times for patients," he said.
As a side note, Ayoub added he still continues to search for another new physician to join Family Practice. He is currently talking with one particular physician about the position, and sought approval from the hospital board to pay the doctor's agent if hiring occurs.
"However," he said, "We're just talking at this point. I don't want to get people's hopes up prematurely."
CEO reports big expenses
Two big accounting expenses threw hospital board members for a loop when the monthly financials were presented to them Monday night. However, it was explained to the board these are one-time necessary accounting expenses that are not actually paid for out of pocket. It was also noted that even with their inclusion, the hospital still ends up with a positive bottom line.
The first expense involves the finished componentization of depreciated items in the new hospital building. The huge amount of $253,539 was split in half between November and December's expenses.
The second expense is the figured difference between the appraised selling price of the old hospital building and what they think the actual selling price will be.
Committee updates
Members of the Quality Care Committee reported on a presentation they received from the parent of a former patient at MMH. The committee had asked the parent to give an honest report on the quality of care the child received during time in the hospital, and also to ask others in the community about their experiences.
The goal of the committee in doing so was to find out the areas in which the hospital needs to work on to provide better quality care to patients.
According to Ayoub, the parent put a lot of research and effort into the presentation.
"It was very eye-opening," said Ayoub, adding some parts of it were painful for the committee to hear. However, he said it was very good for the staff and the board, who now have a better idea of the areas that need work. This particularly includes communication between the different departments.
"We're always continuing to strive to get better," said Ayoub. "We're pleased that parent was willing to come in and do it and that so much research was put into it."
Meanwhile, the Community Linkages Committee reported on its efforts to reach out to the community. Discussion this month centered on the education classes offered by MMH.
On Monday, Dec. 15 a diabetes education class was taught by Judi Sudmeier, but it was not well attended. As such, the committee would like to take a different approach by creating classes based on what the community wants.
"Rather than having the people come to us," said Ayoub, "we'll go to the people."
They are particularly interested in contacting local clubs and organizations to see if they would like to set up education classes. Ayoub urges anyone who is interested in sponsoring one of these classes to contact Sheryl Farnsworth.
Credentials approved
A long list of credentials that needed to be approved by the board was granted Monday night. It was also noted Ted Lin, MD—Family Practice and Scott Faulkner, MD—Sleep Studies six-month provisionals had ended.
Two-year reappointments included the following: Byron Barksdale, MD—Pathology; Lyle Barksdale, MD—Pathology; Kelby Bethards, MD—Family Practice; David Dalzell, MD—Radiology; Arlin Hatfield III, MD—Radiology; Gary Luckasen, MD—Cardiology; R. Scott Pace, MD—Allergist;
Charles Palmer, MD—Ophthalmology; Daniel Possehn, MD—Radiology; James Schiefen, DO—General Surgery; Warren Tripp, MD—Ophthalmology; Todd Whitsitt, MD—Cardiology; and Delane Wycoff, MD—Pathology.
New appointments included Hakumat Kakkar, MD—Neurology; Judith Sudmeier, FNP—Family Practice; and Deana O'Gorman, FNP—Family Practice.
Other business
In other business, the EPCHD board:
—received a letter from the state that said MMH is now in compliance with two out of three surveyed standards taken recently.
—heard a report from Terry Barth on the Materials Management Department.
—established the mill levy at 13.7 mills.
—approved a revised version of the budget to be sent to the state.
—discussed the sale of the old hospital building. It was noted there has been interest shown in the purchase of the specialty clinic.
—agreed to sell the hospital's extra walk-in fridge to the Holyoke School District.
—heard a report from Steve Deaver of the corporate compliance committee. He updated the board on the progress made on the 2008 work plan and what needs to be on the 2009 plan.

Rail traffic up for week ending March 5, according to AAR
March 11, 2011
The Association of American Railroads (AAR) reported that volumes for the week ending March were up annually.
Carload volume at 300,953 was up 5.5 percent year-over-year and was ahead of the week ending February 26 at 296,252 and the week ending February 19 at 296,980. Carload volume was up 0.3 percent in the East and up 9.2 percent out West.
Intermodal volumes were up 1 percent year-over-year, with trailers and containers hitting 214,343, which was behind the weeks ending February 26 and February 19 at 220,589 and 233,993, respectively.
As LM has reported, railroad carload and intermodal volumes continue to show mostly decent annual and sequential gains, although the annual comparisons are abating because comparisons from 2011 to 2010 will not be as significant as those from 2010 to 2009, which was when freight volume declines were steep. And prospects for 2011 look very encouraging, especially in light of earnings results from multiple Class I carriers, which pointed to continued pricing and volume increases.
The AAR said that 14 of the 20 commodity groups the AAR tracks saw annual growth for the week ending March 5, with metallic ores up 105.2 percent, motor vehicles and equipment up 20.8 percent, and petroleum products up 18.6 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 34.0 billion for a 6.9 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 290.3 billion ton-miles recorded are up 7.1 percent.
Morgan Stanley analyst William Greene wrote in a research note that his firm's historical seasonality-driven volume forecasts imply that mid single-digit volume growth for 2011 remains likely for most rails with upside toward the high single-digits. And he added that
January 2011 industry employment levels, in conjunction with volume trends, point to continued strength in incremental margins, with firmer truck pricing being supportive of rail price growth.

Rated 3 out of 5�by PowerWalker Color Off I am only grading this based on the fact the color pink reflected on the website did not match the shade that arrived. I wanted the bright pink/watermelon color, but what arrived is a dull dark pink so I returned. February 22, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by Bonnie123 Excellent ! Keep my feet warm and no sweaty feet! Love these socks! November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by birdirunning Great height above edge of running shoe! Let's see how long they last! I am very pleased with the fit. I am a Smartwool sock girl but had never tried their running sock line- I will be interested to see if they hold up in the heel as many of my other smartwool socks get holes within in a year in the heel!! They are on my wish list for Santa! November 19, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5�by Debbie These socks are great!!! Best socks ever!! I wear wool socks summer and winter, won't wear anything else when running. September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jedi63 This product has great comfort I had previously bought two pairs of smartwool socks when I started running. I now have to walk but still love the socks because they provide great comfort, no feet sweating. The only thing about this pair is that they do "peel" a little more than the other socks I have, not to the point that it's real bad. Still a great sock! July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Smilla Best socks ever!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE SOCKS. Seriously, I keep buying them because they provide so much comfort and have yet to fall apart. These are serious socks. They are thick and soft and keep my feet feeling good inside my shoes. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cellochick Love these socks I have been training to walk a 1/2 marathon for nearly two years, and only discovered Smartwool socks a month ago. In time for my first 1/2 marathon! Wore these. No blisters, no problem, no wet sweaty feet. Good amount of cushion! Wore them again yesterday for a 5K race through wet grass. Very wet feet but they didn't get cold! May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by runningmom Amazing Socks I love these socks and am slowly transitioning all my socks to Smartwool. They are warm in winter, cool in summer, do not ever smell and cushion your foot really well for whatever you're doing. I wear them for everyday, running and in my tall boots when horseback riding.

1) You're stuck in the security line with the TSA agent telling you he needs to open your suitcase, and you wish you hadn't just shoved everything in there.
2) All your stuff fit when you departed, but when you pack everything to go home, they somehow don't fit anymore. Or you just can't seem find your toothbrush or underwear when you unpack.
3) You get to your destination with a suitcase full of wrinkled clothes and/or spilled toiletries—causing you to spend precious vacation time cleaning and ironing.
