David lives in Ballycroy Co. Mayo. A giant sperm whale washed up on his local beach 10 days ago. It is 50 foot long and weighs abut 20 tonne. Mayo County Council won't bury it and the smell of its rotting corpse is making life unbearable for locals.
Treasa has very bad teeth. Most of them are rotten through neglect and she can't get any help to treat them. She has a medical card and can get extractions but that is not the solution. Gillian can sympathise, she has severe epilepsy and she lost all her teeth 4 years ago. The long term use of medication also caused her teeth to rot.

Immediately after you finish shaving, it is a good time to treat your face with The Art of Shaving Men After Shave. Even the smoothest shave can sometimes cause irritation to the skin and create conditions which can lead to skin infections. This is the time to soothe, moisturize, protect your skin and treat any nicks or cuts with The Art of Shaving Men After Shave.
Unlike most after shave treatments, The Art of Shaving Men After Shave solutions do not contain alcohol, which causes a burning sensation, scours off the natural oils and tightens, dries out and further irritates the skin. Instead, The Art of Shaving Men After Shave contains natural extracts, essential oils and organic minerals, to provide the best way to culminate a shave. The treatment moisturizes, calms and soothes your skin, finishing your shaving experience with a therapy that enhances the smoothness of your face, calms irritations, treats any razor burns or slips and even provides antibacterial protection. The Art of Shaving Men After Shave is designed to provide a peaceful and healing conclusion to your shave.
The regimen of shaving isn't finished when the last of the shaving cream is washed off. Now is the time for The Art of Shaving Men After Shave treatment. Even with the best preparation, skin can react to shaving. It needs some additional attention, to restore moisture, protect, heal and smooth the skin. Soothe and protect your skin with calming The Art of Shaving After Shave Balm Sandalwood. Alcohol-free and fortified with vitamin C and algae extracts, it moisturizes and refreshes your face without the stinging, drying effects of alcohol-based after shaves. The sandalwood scent provides a restrained woody background while the balm goes to work. The Art of Shaving After Shave Balm Lavender provides a crisp, clean note. Or, if you prefer, go with The Art of Shaving After Shave Balm Unscented.
If you experience any nicks or cuts during your shave, you can apply a remedy with The Art of Shaving Alum Block. Alum, a natural mineral compound, was used by Egyptians more than 3,500 years ago and its virtues as an astringent were extolled in ancient Greek writings. Applied to skin cuts, it acts not only as a blood coagulant but as a soothing agent. Its antibacterial properties help prevent and treat infection, allowing your skin to heal naturally. Also offered is The Art of Shaving Styptic Pens, which provide a mix of alum and other minerals in a convenient stick form. With the same healing properties as The Art of Shaving Alum Block, it can easily be packed for trips.

depends, would they take out the ads? i would keep it for contacting, but i wouldn't use it for recreational use after that
I don't know what I would do with the spare time if facebook and twitter had a subscription fee, cause I wouldn't pay it.

No, I've been close to dropping using facebook for about 6 months and that would be enough to push me out of the boat.

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Zero. I already paid for the friends.
I wouldn't use facebook or twitter if they paid me.
i like using fb....but if they started charging anything id stop on the spot. I have enough services that charge me let alone worry bout all the hidden charges, fees etc.....i dont even like paying for ESPN insider! That info should be free i mean cmon! its ESPN and its sports news but you pay for insider info? wtf

I was a long time hold out on Twitter, but I am now totally addicted. I might pay a little but only if everyone I follow was still tweeting the same or more.
Adding a fee would totally change both of those services. The one thing that makes them both so successful is that they are available to everyone.
Twitter: @mookjnsn
I dont even have facebook... and im 17. Is that weird for someone my age?
Hell no. If there was a way I could pay a monthly fee to guarantee I would never have to hear anything about twitter, tweets, etc. I would strongly consider it.

I have Zimbra M2 Network version installed on a dual p4 system with 1 gig of ram & FC4. "top" usually reports cpu usage of 1% or less, with occasional spikes to 80-90%. Despite this, I see massive slowdowns in performance from time to time as well as these issues:
-attachments don't send in FF1.5
-right click menus don't work sometimes
-user login fails to finish sometimes (welcome screen just sits
with the animation going...................)
-can't delete messages from inbox somtimes or takes 1+ minute
-frequently get the error message "The server appears to be slow to
respond, and may be unavailable. Press the button to cancel your
-also "Could not complete operation." errors
name - TypeError
message - 'undefined' is null or not an object
number - -2146823281
description - 'undefined' is null or not an object
Strangly enough, if I "zmcontrol stop" then "zmcontrol start" the server, most of these problems seem to dissapear for a while (large copies/deletes still cause problems for FireFox). For instance, I couldn't delete messages from my folder until I bounced the server, then it functioned quickly until I let it run for 30ish minutes. After that time it was back to being slow. My imap connection with Thunderbird also seemed to work a lot better after the restart, but sometimes it also seems to have a lot of trouble dealing with Zimbra.
From what I've read in other threads, many of these problems have been fixed in the recent developer builds which have been posted for testing, but apparently these are not compatible with the Network-M2 release. Is there any way to get an update for the Network version as well?
If not, can I remove the Network version and install the normal version without losing all of the accounts I've imported?
For those of us trying to use the Network version in a *real* environment, it is a bit frustrating to run into all of these bugs yet have no recourse.

Armenia Launches Social Housing Scheme

The Armenian government has pledged to catch up on a commitment to provide accommodation for over-18s who were brought up in children's homes.
By law, the state has a duty of care to children's home residents after they leave as young adults, including the provision of rent-free accommodation. A past scheme suffered setbacks, and the queue for housing has been steadily lengthening by at least 30 a year to reach over 300, according to the labour and social affairs ministry.
Lilit Avetisyan left a children's home in the eastern town of Gavar in 2006, and has been waiting for state housing ever since.
"I've been in the queue for an apartment since 2007, but I don't believe I'll ever get one," she said.
Avetisyan is still living in temporary accommodation provided by the Our Home charity in Echmiadzin, under an arrangement originally intended to last only until she finished studying for a degree.
"My deadline [to leave] passed in 2010. That's two extra years I've been living here," she said. "I work in a print shop and earn about 40,000 drams a month [around 100 US dollars]. I can't even consider renting a flat on that money."
While some like Avetisyan are housed by charities, others simply stay on at children's homes beyond the age of 18.
Nikolai Nalbandyan, head of the Gavar home, says four of the residents are too old to be there.
"They aren't on the register, but they have nowhere they can go, and we can't throw them out onto the streets," he said.
Under a government programme launched in 2003 to provide homes for former children in care, 149 out of the 503 people deemed eligible were given flats in the first five years. But the scheme was halted in 2008 after the national audit chamber raised concerns, alleging that more than 1.2 billion drams, or around three million dollars, had been embezzled.
"The people running the programme not only pocketed the money, they also economised by buying cheap, useless housing," Anahit Bakhshyan of the opposition Heritage Party said. "Shameless officials got rich on this money and they still haven't been punished."
The Armenian government has now launched a new programme under which it will fund the construction of purpose-built blocks, instead of buying existing apartments as it did under the old scheme. The homes will be available to pensioners, disabled people and war veterans as well as those brought up in care.
Tenants will live rent-free for ten years, and will then be charged the market rate, or allowed to buy the property if they can afford it.
Anna Mnatsakanyan, head of a state programme to assist adults who grew up in children's homes, described the initiative as a "social housing fund".
Apartments have already been provided in the town of Maralik in the northwestern Shirak region, where the state took over and converted a number of half-complete buildings.
Anahit Gevorgyan, head of the department for disabled and elderly people at the labour and social affairs ministry, told IWPR that the 59 apartments in Maralik had provided accommodation for 103 people, including 27 from children's homes.
"At the moment, we are working with the municipal government to provide these former children's home residents with work," she added.
The new residents include Artur Karchikyan, a 21-year-old who is one of three former residents of the Gavar home now living in Maralik.
"The main thing for me is to get a flat, no matter where," he said. "The next thing is to find work."
Several more apartment blocks in various parts of Armenia are scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
Tigranuhi Karapetyan, head of the Our Home group, said placing these young adults in accommodation and leaving them to get on with life was insufficient.
"They give them somewhere to live and say, 'There you are, go and live there'. But if a fisherman is to catch fish, you give him a rod, not a fish," she said.
Karapetyan said it was important for these young people to live in an environment where there was a normal social mix including families.
In addition, she said, "The state must also provide them with work, so that they can live independently and pay their way."

The majority of Timor-Leste's population of just over one million has experienced violent displacement at least once. In 1999, following a UN-supervised referendum on independence from Indonesia, 80 per cent of the population fled violence unleashed by pro-integration militias backed by the Indonesian security forces. In 2006, an estimated 150,000 people were displaced, as their homes and property in the capital Dili were seized or destroyed during violence. The causes included political rivalries and land disputes dating back to the struggle for independence, divisions between "easterners" and "westerners" within the new state, and also chronic poverty and the lack of job prospects.
The government reported that there were no more IDPs in 2010, after it closed the last camps and paid compensation to their remaining residents. However, it remained unclear in 2011 whether returned IDPs had managed to achieve durable solutions in a context where the majority of the population suffers from multiple deprivations including lack of access to food, livelihoods, health, education, housing and justice. There were also concerns related to the capacity of communities to reintegrate IDPs and resolve land disputes in the absence of a national framework.
In January 2011, an estimated 1,000 people were evicted from a former police compound where most of them had settled after they were displaced in 1999. Most received compensation, but it was reportedly insufficient to secure housing and land. At the end of the year, many of them remained in temporary shelters. The security of tenure of such people could be put at further risk by proposed land laws which were awaiting enactment at the end of 2011.
During 2011, the Protection Cluster led by OHCHR continued to monitor the situation of returning IDPs within its overview of protection issues facing the whole population. UNDP assisted the government on land and property issues and on peace-building and social cohesion.

Finding and helping troubled students
1 2 3 Next page >
In the wake of the shooting in Newtown, Conn., many people are concerned about making sure a tragedy like that doesn't happen in our schools.
It's not only a matter of limiting access to firearms, but also one of mental health. Rockville Centre Schools Superintendent Dr. William Johnson said that the district has measures in place to identify and help at-risk children before they become a danger to themselves and others.
"There are two sides to the coin: one side is preparing kids to do well with one another," Johnson said. "The other is, can you identify problematic behavior in kids and head off more serious problems? And the answer to that is, I think we can."
Johnson explained that, if a student is identified to be troubled, the district does a number of things. "One, we provide direct service to the child," he said. "Two, we get the parents involved. Three, we generally insist on some kind of involvement in therapeutic activities outside of school. And four, if there's a disability involved, we're involved on a counseling basis as well as an instructional basis. So we can modify the whole environment in which we're provided instruction."
Every school in Rockville Centre has at least one social worker and psychologist (South Side High School has two psychologists). The middle and high schools also have guidance counselors. While they all serve different functions in the school, they all work together to help students.
"Not only do we have social workers assigned to every school and psychologists assigned to every school to implement programs like [character education]," said Noreen Leahy, the assistant superintendent for special education and pupil services, "but they're also there to observe students and kind of be the first line of defense in case we identify a developing emotional or psychological problem or deficiency."
The guidance counselors, social workers and guidance counselors all help the students in different ways. The primary responsibility of guidance counselors, Leahy said, is to make sure students have all the necessary credentials to graduate high school and move on to post-school life, whether it be college, work or the military.

Anyone have an opinion on these? They will be on camofire later today (says limited sizes available).
Info I can find on line says they are "lightly insulated" and "offer great value." As for insulation, how insulated are they? Maybe comparable to a Danner Pronghorn wtih 400 grams of Thinsulate? Less? Also, regarding the mention of "great value," are these lower end Crispis? Are they still good boots? Any opinions will be appreciated.

Our Road to Sustainability: Doing Better Every Day
At Macy's, Inc., we believe that contributing to a more sustainable environment is good business practice and the right thing to do for future generations. As a leading national retailer with a significant workforce, we have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in improving the environment. And we will do so by using resources more efficiently, providing eco-friendly products that meet customer expectations and striving to reduce our overall impact on the environment. We must, however, operate within the bounds of good business decision-making so that each action we take is measurable, sustainable and enduring. Macy's, Inc.'s commitment to sustainability is multi-dimensional.
We will be aggressive in our drive to eliminate wasteful behavior. In some cases, this requires consistent application of very simple principles, such as reminding our associates to turn off lights when rooms are not in use, to print fewer hard copies of emails, to recycle waste, to optimize facility performance and to use mass transit for commuting to work. In other cases, we will be pursuing systematic improvements to the way we do business, such as better targeting customer mailing lists and shifting marketing to electronic media so we are printing and sending fewer printed advertisements.
We will reduce our use of scarce resources in a meaningful way. Macy's, Inc. will pursue ongoing programs to consume less electricity and water, reduce our waste stream, and source more of our power from renewable resources such as solar energy. We will use fewer paper-related products, recycle more and seek to use paper made with post-consumer waste (PCW). We will work to migrate more of our output from paper to electronic/digital, including large-scale projects such as monthly customer billing statements. By doing so, we will reduce the company's greenhouse gas footprint, energy consumption and costs.
Whenever possible and sensible within the context of our business requirements, Macy's, Inc. will pursue the most environmentally friendly solution. We will be as aggressive as possible in changing for the better to preserve endangered forests, wildlife, water quality and eco-systems. We will explore ways to make our shopping bags, gift boxes, wrapping tissue, merchandise hangers and other staples of retailing from recycled and/or certified paper sources, with a preference for Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. The building materials used in our stores will be environmentally certified whenever reasonably possible.
We will take a comprehensive approach to sustainability, involving everyone around us. Macy's, Inc. will advocate sustainability and renewability with our vendor partners, associates and customers. This will include developing supplier sustainability standards and promoting eco-friendly products to our customers. We will encourage our associates and ask them to support our initiatives with their ideas, energy, personal actions and volunteer time. We will support efforts in our communities and our nation to clean up the environment and reduce consumption of scarce resources.
We will measure what we do and strive toward quantifiable goals. Building on recent progress, Macy's, Inc. has set the following sustainability goals to guide our progress in the years ahead. Specifically, Macy's, Inc. will seek to:

A man, who police in Demopolis, Alabama called a serial robbery suspect, is now in custody. Family members of Akeem Benison turned him in to authorities last night. He's facing seven counts of armed robbery. All thefts occurred at the same convenience store. The most recent happened Wednesday. Following that, police conducted a six hour search in a wooded area for Benison. He's now being held in the Marengo County jail in Linden. As of Friday morning, his bond was yet to be set.

Memorial Day Open presented by Bud's Spring Service
Newmanstown, Pa. - The 2012 edition of PA 600 Speedweek kicked off in grand style on Saturday night at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway...especially if your name is Brock Zearfoss.
The Jonestown, Pa. resident roared to victory in the 30-lap Prelude to the Mania, the 600 Speedweek opener held on the eve of Micromania, which is the biggest and most lucrative event of the six race series.
With 60 entries competing on Saturday, Zearfoss took the green flag from the inside of the second row. Polesitter Shane Lewis pulled out to a healthy lead in the early stages, but lapped traffic played a major role in the outcome of the feature race.
The first 16 laps went clean and green, meaning the leaders caught the back of the field fairly quickly. Race leader Lewis, from Honeybrook, got stuck behind a big pack of slower cars - and that pack was using every inch of the banked oval.
Sparks began to fly from the right-rear corner of Lewis' machine as his brake rotor glowed orange-hot, and Zearfoss zeroed in on him.
Lewis remained committed to the top groove, while Zearfoss drove around the bottom lane. Their side-by-side battle for the top spot took place as they bobbed and weaved in and around the backmarkers, until Zearfoss found the opening he needed to edge in front of Lewis to take command.
The pass for the lead (and, as it turned out, for the win) occurred on lap twelve. With Zearfoss now in front, the first yellow flew after the 16th lap had been scored. Two additional caution periods did not hinder Zearfoss, as he utilized terrific restarts to jump away from Lewis and maintain the lead.
Zearfoss charged to the checkered flag, winning by more than 1.5 seconds over Lewis, who had to deal with Mike Dicely's assaults over the final few circuits. Lewis held off Dicely for runner-up honors, with Dicely, Robbie Kendall, Ryan Smith, and Jeff Hartman completing the top six at the finish.
Those drivers are now locked in to Sunday's Micromania Dash and A-Main. Provided there are at least 60 entries for night number two of the 600 Speedweek series, Sunday's 50-lap Micromania A-Main will pay $10,000 to win and $300 to take the green flag.
The 270cc Clash at the Clyde is also a part of the colossal weekend of competition, and Saturday night's Flash Before the Clash saw Richie Hartman register the triumph. It was Hartman's second 270cc victory of the season at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway, and he had to hold off four-time winner Mike Rutherford to record the win.
The top four finishers from each of the three heat races drew for starting positions in the 25-lap feature. Richie Hartman, from Temple, Pa., drew the pole and he used his good fortune to lead every one of the 25 revolutions.
With R. Hartman in front, Kyle Spence and Jeff Hartman dueled for the runner-up position. Rutherford, who rolled off the grid in tenth, was slicing his way forward; he was up to fifth by lap six, then motored into the fourth spot on the ninth trip around the clay.
After a yellow flag halted the original start, the 24-car field clicked off 16 consecutive laps under green before the second caution appeared when Rebecca LaMothe suffered mechanical problems and stopped in turn four.
On the restart, Rutherford blasted around the outside of J. Hartman for third. With six to go, he ducked under Spence to grab second. The opportunity he needed came with three laps remaining, when the yellow flew for the final time, putting Rutherford on the tail tank of the leader for the restart.
R. Hartman fought off the attack as the race went back to green, but Rutherford gave it one last shot on the final lap, diving under Hartman in turns three and four. He got a bit sideways in four, allowing Hartman to pull away and notch the win.
Chasing R. Hartman and Rutherford to the stripe were Jeff Hartman, Lee Reinhardt, and Jesse Maurer. The top four finishers are now locked into Sunday's Dash and A-Main.
*Saturday night's win was the second in a row for Zearfoss, following up Friday's victory at Linda's Speedway.
*Jeff Hartman, Flagtown, NJ, is the only driver to lock himself into both of Sunday's Dash events and A-Mains (600cc and 270cc).
*J. Hartman will not enter all of this year's PA 600 Speedweek events due to the fact he's getting married on Tuesday, July 3.
*Australia's Charlie Brown, driving a brand new Hyper assembled during the past week, appeared to have a qualifying spot locked up in the B-Main on Saturday. Mechancial gremlins, however, forced him out of the B with just a few laps left to run.
*Shred Racing Photos Hard Chargers from Saturday night: 600cc = Eric Bodine; in the 270cc Class, the Hard Charger went to Billy Logeman.
*Saturday's car count: 270cc = 29; the 600cc = 60.

ATLANTA -- The early numbers are in and the news isn't good for post secondary institutions in Georgia. Preliminary fall enrollment numbers are down.
According to numbers from the University System of Georgia, enrollment is down at more than half the state's institutions.
RELATED | Fall enrollment statistics
"We've been warning them for the last 15 months to plan for enrollment decreases," said spokesman John Millsaps.
"Sad to say it doesn't surprise me," said 25 year old Timothy Roberts, who couldn't complete his course, at Georgia Perimeter College, after his Pell Grant ran out. "It's hard out here. Most people trying to just look for a job and trying to make money. Cause school is expensive."
Yes it is. In Georgia, depending on the school, tuition for a semester can run from $1,266 to $3,859 for a semester.
And getting scholarship money is even tougher than before. HOPE no longer funds the full freight, according to Millsaps, only about 88% of the full tuition. Scholarship money it can be harder to get, depending on grades.
"We've seen a small decline in the number of students getting an award there, about 3%," said Tracy Ireland, spokesperson for the Georgia Student Finance Commission.
The good news comes from lottery revenues, which posted a record profit last year. $900 million was transferred to state coffers. Ireland expects that will help the HOPE scholarship program achieve its funding levels over the next few years.
Millsaps also attributes some of the enrollment decline to shifting demographics because of lower birth rates recorded 19 years ago.
However, some schools expect their numbers to go up in the next semester. Georgia Perimeter College, which saw it's fall enrollment levels down 13% over a year ago expects that to adjust when more students to enroll.
Timothy Roberts hopes he can afford to continue his education in January.
"I hope so because I know that college is really the only way that you can make something," Roberts said.

Healthy hair starts from the roots, and is affected by your diet, your environment, your lifestyle, and your habits. Your hair can start to look better regardless of these factors with the right product. The Klorane Hair Styling line goes right to the basics for healthy hair: classic elements that boost your hair's potential.
Klorane hair styling adopts all of the good things that are the forte of this great line: formulas that seek natural benefits from plants, paired with the highest pharmaceutical standards and a conscientious mindset toward lab testing and the environment.
For over 50 years, Klorane Laboratories has consistently produced gentle, plant-based products for hair, eyes, and skin. In 1966, creator and founder of Klorane Laboratories, Pierre Fabre, chose chamomile as inspiration for the first Klorane product: shampoo with chamomile. Now, years later, the same plant extract is being used for Klorane Hair Styling mousse.
The Klorane Hair Styling line does not divert from Klorane's dedicated philosophy. Not only do they use the best plant extracts for hair and beauty, they believe in passing along the heritage of botany and plant preservation to younger generations.
Whether your hair is healthy or needs a boost, Klorane Hair Styling is the right choice.
For soft, easy to manage hair with a bounce, fullness, and a glossy finish, choose Klorane Mousse with Chamomile.
Harvested beneath the generous Mediterranean sunshine, Klorane obtains the active ingredient in this mousse from the chamomile, a flower with a long history of beneficial properties. When infused in hair products, chamomile has several pleasing pluses.
Klorane extracts apigenin from chamomile petals and reduces it to a concentrated form. This plant flavonoid lightens and brightens blond or light brown hair, for natural or color treated tresses. Blondes look richer, highlights look brighter, all with a very natural ingredient applied daily.
Chamomile's pleasant herbal fragrance is universally well-received, light and slightly heady with references to a warm wildflower meadow in full summer bloom. Apply Klorane Mousse with Chamomile and carry this fragrance with you all day.
Chamomile is a trusted ingredient for dermatological uses. Any hair product you choose should benefit the hair shaft and the root. Chamomile has antioxidant, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes cell regeneration. Your hair and scalp will benefit from this natural active ingredient.
Individual ingredients and brand history aside, Klorane Mousse with Chamomile is simply a great hair styling product for everyday use. It detangles without leaving an oily residue. Unlike many smoothing serums, Klorane Mousse keeps your hair full and light, preparing it for any style, leaving that sought-after glossy finish. Keep your hair healthy, bright, and beautiful with this classic formula.

"Monster Mile" is Home to Bodine's First NASCAR Win, Germain Racing Wants Bodine Back in Dover's Victory Lane
Posted by: im_admin on May 14, 2010
Tagged in: Germain Racing
NASCAR Loop Data Says Bodine Posted 50 "Fastest Laps" in 2009 at Dover
Bodine Has Raced in 5 NCWTS Events at Dover
Bodine has Three NASCAR Wins at Dover in NNS
Bodine's Best Truck Series Finish at Dover is Third
Bodine is Second in Truck Series Championship Standings
May 10, 2010 (Mooresville, N.C.) - Dover International Speedway has earned its reputation as the "Monster Mile" with Germain Racing. Just last year, the team had arguably the fastest truck in the field, but spent most of the race fighting back from falling laps-down due to unscheduled green-flag pit stops to replace some troublesome tires. In the 200 lap race, NASCAR Loop Data Statistics say the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra posted 50 of the race's fastest laps, yet finished 18th, three laps down to the leaders. This year, driver Todd Bodine and crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. look forward to returning to Dover with the chassis setup that made their truck so fast there in 2009. But, both are curious about how the new tire compound will work for them this year.
"Well, I'm definitely looking forward to going to Dover but I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic because we are going with a new tire and that changes everything," explained Bodine, whose first NASCAR career top-five and first victory both came at Dover. "Dover's always been one of my favorite tracks. I've always run well there – it doesn't matter what I'm in. If we can go back and get the Germain.com Tundra setup to handle as good as it did last year then we will have a real shot at getting a win."
The setup, according to crew chief Mike Hillman Jr., is what makes Dover a "monster" for crew chiefs.
"The biggest challenge for Dover is that your chassis setup has to be perfect when the race truck rolls off the hauler. With the tire quantity limitations in the Camping World Truck Series, we basically get one set of tires for practice. At Dover, one set lasts about 30 laps before the tires are corded. Goodyear is bringing us a new tire for Dover this year which might give us a few more laps on each set of tires. But, as a crew chief, I can't plan on those extra laps. I have to make sure the Germain.com Tundra setup is perfect when it unloads," explains Hillman. "Thirty laps of tire wear doesn't give us room for making a lot of changes. For a crew chief, that's a 'Monster' part of racing at of Dover."
Dover has been home to many huge memories for Todd Bodine, his first top-five, his first win, and, really, his performance at the concrete oval served as the foundation of his career. The track is a special venue for the 2006 Truck Series champion to return to each year.
"When you have a lot of success at a track and you always run well at it, then you always enjoy going there. Dover is a track that really suits my style – 'get up on top of the wheel and go' kind of style – I've just always enjoyed it. It's always fun to go to Dover," said Bodine.
After five races, Bodine is second in the Truck Series championship standings with four top-five finishes.
Look for Bodine in the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra starting with practice on Thursday, May 13th at 2:30 PM Eastern. Final practice follows at 4:15 with qualifying live on SPEED Friday morning, May 14th at 10:10 AM. Racing action is Friday afternoon at 4:45 PM with race coverage on SPEED at 8:00 PM.

Right turn on Maine
Politics | With a pivotal Senate race in November, conservatives are increasingly energized in what has for decades been one of the most liberal states in the nation
"Right turn on Maine" Continued...
Mary Adams' political involvement in Maine began way back in 1973 when she left a school budget meeting bewildered over a new statewide property tax for education. Convinced that this should be a local issue, Adams, then a mother of two young children, launched a petition drive that after a lengthy fight led to the repeal of the tax.
"My daughter who was 5 when I started this had her ninth birthday the year the referendum passed," Adams says. "That's how long those things take. I was the person who picked up a stick and it ended up being the tail of a dragon."
Adams is now helping lead a growing conservative and Tea Party presence in a state where many outsiders think conservatives are extinct. And as with her property tax activism 39 years ago, her efforts today are bearing fruit: Maine no longer reliably elects liberals and may send a conservative to the U.S. Senate in November.
Less than two years ago, Tea Party-backed Paul LePage surprised everyone by ending a generation of moderate Republicans (they call them Rockefeller Republicans here) ruling the state GOP. And then he shocked folks even more by becoming the first Republican governor of Maine in 20 years. Republicans also took control of Maine's House and Senate, giving the party control of the governor's mansion and the state house at the same time for the first time since 1966. "The conservative movement in Maine is in the best position it has been in the last 45 years," argues Adams, who is in her early 70s.
Adams, who lives in Garland, Maine, moderates a monthly meeting of roughly 60 conservative leaders. The group celebrated its 10th anniversary this April. On meeting days, Adams gets up at 3:30 a.m., picks up doughnuts, coffee, and bagels, and drives her 2006 Ford Escape the nearly 90 minutes it takes to get to the state capital of Augusta.
The discussions at these meetings lately include the newest test for the state's emerging conservative movement: the battle over the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring moderate Republican Olympia Snowe. The contest is an important one on the national level. Republicans need to pick up four seats in order to take control of the U.S. Senate. Snowe's surprising retirement announcement suddenly turned Maine into a competitive state, making the overall battle for the Senate harder for the GOP. Yet some Maine Republicans see the challenge as an opportunity.
"People out on the right flank of the party do not like Olympia Snowe and haven't for years," says Lance Dutson, head of The Maine Heritage Policy Center. "The idea that she can be replaced with a more conservative senator I think can awaken a lot of conservative imaginations. That is something I don't think any of us thought would happen for a decade at least or more."
Six Republicans are facing off for the nomination in the state's June 12 primary: Secretary of State Charles Summers, state Attorney General William Schneider, state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, state Sen. Debra Plowman, former Maine Senate President Richard Bennett, and Scott D'Amboise, who is the only candidate who entered the primary before Snowe announced her retirement. Conservative activists in the state seem to agree that all six would be more fiscally and socially to the right of Snowe.
Four Democrats are running in their party's primary. But the race's wildcard is the independent candidacy of former two-term Gov. Angus King. King enjoys a lead over all potential adversaries from both parties according to recent polls. With reddish grey hair and his signature mustache, King plays the role of the folksy grandfather who is above partisan bickering.
But King coyly refuses to declare which party he would caucus with if he wins the seat. In a sign of his leanings, his entry into the race scared off several high-profile Democrats, including another former governor and two current congressional representatives. King also supports President Barack Obama's reelection and recently said that the "shift of the Republican Party to the right, particularly on social issues, is disturbing."
"He became an independent out of convenience," Dutson says. "His record is 100 percent liberal."
King's entry has handcuffed Democrats both within the state and in Congress-many party leaders are fearful of how much vocal and financial support they can give the official Democrats in the race without upsetting King. Meanwhile, Republicans seem united against King. Top GOP party leaders are not waiting until after the primary results before going after the frontrunner. Gov. LePage said King "has made a fortune off the backs of Maine people."
That's a reference to King's stake in a wind company whose $102 million government loan guarantee is under a congressional probe. King sold his stake in the company shortly after announcing his run for Senate.
Republicans also have kept busy reminding Maine voters that the state enjoyed a budget surplus when King began his governorship in 1995 but suffered from a budget deficit when he left eight years later.
Maine conservatives are hoping that King's candidacy will create the same scenario that helped Republicans during the gubernatorial race here in 2010. Then, left-leaning independent candidate Eliot Cutler lured more Democrats than Republicans on his way to grabbing 36 percent of the vote. Democrat Libby Mitchell received just 19 percent of the vote, allowing LePage to win with only 38 percent.
The Republican candidates here are keeping a busy appearance schedule in their efforts to combat the advantage in name recognition enjoyed by King. At a recent candidate forum in Bangor, the contenders took turns addressing a crowd of nearly 100 who sat and munched on meatballs, cucumbers, and broccoli.
It was difficult to discern any real differences in the candidates' policy views. Each one railed against the government's spending habits: one candidate called them unsustainable, another called them outrageous, while a third called them immoral. One candidate said he is running for his children and grandchildren, while another candidate said the government has sold "my children and your children into servitude." All the candidates pledged to repeal Obamacare and unravel the welfare state.
After the event, attendees talked about the energy of the state's conservative movement. Charlie Smith of Stockton Springs, Maine, said he's seen neighbors scrape off Obama bumper stickers from the back of their cars. Jon Pottle, 31, said Maine has a lot of disgruntled people like the rest of the country who are just tired of big government.
Despite the enthusiasm and momentum, the Maine Republican Party faces internal challenges. During the party's state convention on May 6, time ran out before the six Senate candidates could take the stage. Many blamed supporters of Ron Paul for hijacking the convention and forcing the schedule to fall so far behind that the convention chairman, a Paul supporter, axed the 20-minute speaking slots set aside for the Senate candidates.
Shocked at their sudden inability to showcase themselves before the 2,800 people who registered for the convention, the candidates began delivering shortened versions of their speeches in stairways, atriums, and empty rooms near the convention's meeting hall. "This whole weekend had been an absolute fiasco," declared candidate D'Amboise while standing on a chair near his convention booth. By the time the messy convention ended, Paul supporters had won 21 out of the state's 24 delegates to the national convention.
Carroll Conley, the Christian Civic League of Maine executive director, said he is confident that conservatives will "lick their wounds" and rally behind the Republican primary winner. He said the momentum from the 2010 election is still strong enough to boost the Republican candidate that emerges this June.
"Maine is not as liberal as it was being governed," Conley says. "I think a lot of people in Maine were silent and really afraid to stand up for their conservative values. But the left pushed too far too hard."
Conley says another factor will influence this fall's election: A vote in Maine on same-sex marriage. In 2009 then Gov. John Baldacci signed into law a bill allowing same-sex marriages, but social conservatives put it on hold by successfully petitioning for a referendum, and the repeal passed by a 53 percent to 47 percent vote. In response, same-sex marriage advocates launched their own successful drive to place a voter initiative in favor of same-sex marriage on Maine ballots for this November.
Conley predicts that this ballot question will bring more conservatives to the polls and help the Republican candidate for Senate. But recent polls suggest that a majority of Maine voters support this newest gay marriage initiative, and some conservatives worry that voter fatigue over the issue could affect turnout.
Yet conservatives like Adams, the septuagenarian political activist, and Dutson say they see no evidence of fatigue in the state's conservative and Tea Party groups. Adams sometimes appears on stage with Gov. LePage, and she always tries to rally the troops with stories about her conservative activist days in the 1970s when, as she puts it, she often felt "lonely."
The Cook Political Report lists the Maine senate race as a toss-up, and Dutson of The Maine Heritage Policy Center says conservatives in 2012 are numerous and energized. "They know now something that they hadn't known in a generation," he says, "which is they can win."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Recently released receipts show Ohio's privatized job-creation office spent $15,000 in taxpayer dollars for a Dayton-area development agency to help underwrite the 2012 NCAA basketball game attended by Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik), President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday (http://bit.ly/11AiKrX ) that receipts showed JobsOhio gave another $35,000 in public money for the Toledo Mud Hens to develop a local branding campaign.
The newspaper found much of the $8.4 million in public money JobsOhio returned to the state earlier this year went to salaries, benefits, parking and cellphone bills, or to promotional efforts like web site development and the $1.35 million "Thrive in Ohio" ad campaign.
Information on future JobsOhio spending could be limited after lawmakers recently declared its main funding stream private.

JOHN ZENOR, AP Sports Writer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Nick Saban says he's "very committed to the University of Alabama" and referred to past comments saying he wasn't interested in leaving.
The Crimson Tide coach was asked Wednesday about an Associated Press report regarding his agent's conversation in January about possibly replacing Mack Brown at Texas.
An email sent by former Texas Regent Tom Hicks says Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, indicated that the Texas job was the only one the coach would consider leaving Tuscaloosa for.
Asked about that account, Saban says "no one's said anything like that."
Top-ranked Alabama plays No. 10 LSU on Saturday night. Saban is pursuing his fourth national title in five years.
Hicks detailed the January phone call in a Sept. 24 email obtained Tuesday by AP through an open-records request.

Howdy all,
We have a client in Australia who, whenever they Decline an event from us, shows up as a blank message in the ZWC and this frustrates our CEO, who is the creator of the meeting.
It shows up on our CEO's BlackBerry enough that she can read it (We have ZCB). But on the ZWC no body message shows up.
I have attached the text from the 'Show Original' on the message. You can see there is text in there though it seems rather malformed.

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — The U.S. Air Force Academy may drop a religious reference from an oath that cadets take to swear allegiance to the school's honor code.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation protested the "so help me God" phrase at the end of an oath that has cadets swearing they won't lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do.
The foundation's founder, Mikey Weinstein (WYN'-steen), says it's unconstitutional "to tie the honor code to a religious test," and he's threatening to sue the academy if the words aren't removed from the cadet oath.
The academy says it's considering several options. The Colorado Springs Gazette says that could include dumping the entire honor oath or making the religious reference optional.
Weinstein says he doesn't mind if cadets add the words "so help me God" as long as they aren't required to do so.

People were coming and going from United Blood Services' facility on Bonita Lakes Circle to help kickoff their latest blood drive. This drive coincides with the premiere of the latest Twilight Movie, and the first 22 donors this afternoon received a free movie ticket. Donald Clark with United Blood Services says that the timing couldn't have been better.
"Usually during the Thanksgiving holiday we always have a blood shortage, so that's the main reason we're having a blood drive."
Accidents tend to increase around the holidays, so United Blood Services is pleading for any and everyone to come donate, especially one certain group.
"We need every blood type, absolutely anybody that is O-, because that is a blanket donation, they can give it to anyone."
Some donors felt that it's their duty to give blood to those in need.
Blood donor Stanley Seibel says that, "For me, I feel that it's a good way for me to give back to society and to help so many people that need blood for health reasons and in hospitals."
"It's important for cancer patients and those going through chemotherapy to give them platelets," said James Stringfellow, who also gave blood today.
Every blood donation is estimated to save about three lives.

Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker says the new Kemper County coal plant is a step in the right direction for our state's economy.
Wicker toured the lignite plant this past week. In terms of economic development, Senator Wicker says the coal plant is one direction we need to go in, saying Mississippi is blessed with lignite and that the state should be using it. Wicker says we should also expand our drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to get back to where it was before the 2010 oil spill.
"We are a country rich in natural resources," Wicker says. "Coal, natural gas, crude oil. We're just not using it and we're throwing up roadblocks. And again, part of the ecnomic situation is we're sending so much money overeas to people that don't like us where we could be spending it here and creating jobs in America."
The lignite plant is set to open in May 2014.

Reality check for air cargo
August 03, 2011
The air cargo industry "is living in several different realities," reports the International Air Transport Association.
The ability of airlines to recoup aggregated fuel costs is critical to staying in the black for the year, said IATA. Slower economic growth makes these challenges all the more difficult:
"It is certainly not the time to burden the industry with increases in other costs, including taxation," said Tony Tyler, IATA's Director General and CEO.
IATA is forecasting an industry profit of $4 billion for 2011 which is a 78 percent fall from the $18 billion that the airlines made in 2010. On anticipated revenues of $598 billion, this translates to a net industry margin of 0.7 percent.
Freight volumes have not grown since July-August 2010. May 2010 was the post-recession re-stocking peak, compared to which the June 2011 international freight market was 6 percent smaller.
So here's the reality check: While world trade is expanding at 7 percent a year, the benefit is being realized more by modes of transport other than air.

Can't get the hang of strumming
For some reason I find strumming the hardest thing to get the hang of on guitar. I can notice fast progress with other things I'm learning (scales, chords, fingerpicking) but I don't seem to be improving at all with strumming.
I can do the Down, Down, Down, Down (and probably other simplest patterns) but it's not really useful when I try to apply them to songs I have the chords for. I know all songs have different strumming patterns but I can't seem to figure them out at all.
I definitely underestimated the importance of the strumming hand when I first wanted to learn guitar.
What can I do? I'm thinking of buying a DVD of guitar strumming, there are some videos on YouTube but even if I memorise strumming patterns I'm not sure how useful it is for specific songs I'm learning which may need something completely different.
p.s. I don't have a teacher I'm learning through YouTube

you need to improve on the rhythm aspect of things, get a metronome. use it. also have to just feel it, not real great way of explaning it. if you have a hard time following a fairly simplistic beat you need to work on it. find a beat you like, mute the strings with your left hand and just strum to the beat

[QUOTE=Vicious_Turtle]you need to improve on the rhythm aspect of things, get a metronome. use it.[/QUOTE
and is it just your having trouble hearing the patterns of the strum, cause that comes with time and practice, whenever you're listening to music, like driving or something try humming along to the guitar, don't care what people think it will really help your timing, you might get to a point where you can hum a whole song without having to hear it, incredibly useful, especially with solos but thats a bit off topic
or is it you're having difficulty performing the strum itself, specifically the up stroke since you say you do down, down, etc its mainly having a firm grip on your pick, make sure you're not muting strings and play SLOW as slow as you have to to play it right, the slower you play now the faster and cleaner you will play later
hope thats kind of what you're lookin for
EDIT: i forgot this but when you strum you're more "brushing" the strings then picking them if that makes any sense to you, since you say you've been learning scales and such and progressing at them your right hand(if that your picking hand) might be in a natural tendency to try and pick the stings instead of strumming them, if the low notes( on EAD stings in standard) ring out a lot on your down stroke but your high notes (on strings GBE) sound weak that might be whats happening, just practice "brushing" the strings up and down real slow and you'll get it

I found that it helped when I was struggling with this to throw the pick away. Hear me out for a second and just try it. Lay your thumb flat across the body parallel with the strings and try to strum. For me personally this helped me learn the strumming easier then I could pick the pick back up and it just seemed to work. Then again, I started on acoustic and picks felt awkward so I learned to fingerpick and barely touched a guitar pick for like a year.(Think intro to wanted dead or alive, picked using thumb and 2 fingers)
But hey, worst that could happen is it doesn't work and you are back where you started

I always practice strumming patterns with my thumb on my knee when Im driving and listening to music, or just when Im at home listening, or at work to the tunes that the radio station plays. Try to here the up and down patterns because they sound different. Also pick some songs with simple rhythm pattern and get VERY comfortable with them. Also, take time and just jam out with no back-round music with simple power chords and try to make it sound interesting using the rhythm more than the notes, like just try to play random patterns and focus on using different up and down combinations to the beat until you are more comfortable... it'll come.

Opening Week at The K
On Monday morning, our email inboxes were full of photos from team photographer Chris Vleisides…all from Opening Week at Kauffman Stadium! Of course, there are lots of good photos. However, probably the best shot of the week, which welcomed more than 139,000 fans and two sell-out crowds to The K, was this one of pitcher Brian Bannister.
Bannister tossed a complete game Sunday afternoon to lead the Royals to a 5-1 victory over the Twins and a 3-3 mark for the homestand. The Royals are now 7-5 to start the season and are on their way to the West Coast for a seven-game road trip against Seattle (two games), the Los Angeles Angels (two) and the Oakland A's (three). We are working on several photo galleries highlighting Opening Week at The K that should be posted this afternoon on royals.com. Until then, enjoy a couple of these highlights and feel free to share your thoughts from the Royals first homestand of the season!
WHY SHOULD THE ADULTS HAVE ALL THE "WIENIE" FUN?: For the first time in Kauffman Stadium history, we hosted the "Teenie Wienie" Hot Dog Derby. Soon to be a Kauffman Stadium tradition, the Sunday junior version of the popular in-stadium Hot Dog Derby featured three kids – Adam "Ketchup" Cook (age 10), Molly "Relish" Cook (9) and Logan "Mustard" Darr (8) – who donned mini versions of the costumes and raced down the first base line. The end result: a little win for Ketchup!
FUN RUN FUN FOR ALL: The Royals welcomed back the Sprint Fun Run to Sundays at Kauffman Stadium. For the first one of the season, the fans toughed it out through the cold weather – luckily the game lasted just more than two hours – to run the bases. Although actual numbers have not officially been reported, observers of the Sprint Fun Run noticed several adult Royals fans taking advantage of the opportunity to head down to the field following a Royals win!
AUTISM AWARENESS: The Royals hosted Autism Awareness Night at The K on Friday and, in honor of the evening, had Jason McElwin, a former high school basketball student manager with autism spectrum disorder, throw out the ceremonial first pitch. McElwin obtained national attention in 2006 after scoring 20 points in the final four minutes of a high school basketball game – a story that we found out Royals pitcher Brian Bannister knew pretty well. In fact, as soon as Banny heard that "J-Mac" was throwing out the first pitch he asked to be his catcher…and then asked Jason to send him a copy of his book!
POWDER BLUE MADNESS: The Billy Butler Powder Blue Replica Jerseys – which went to the first 20,000 fans and were presented by FSN Kansas City – were a huge "hit" Saturday. Reports are that fans began lining up – in practically freezing weather – around 11 a.m., and when the gates opened at 4 p.m., the first-time jersey promotion went quick…within 40 minutes, at least 20,000 fans had entered the stadium and many were already sporting the powder blue top. To all those who came out Saturday, did you take the time to notice who might have been handing you your jersey? That's right, Billy Butler, along with six of his teammates and Manager Hillman, took a break from their pregame routines to greet fans (and thank them for waiting in the cold!) at the entrance gates into The K.
SPEAKING OF COLD…: If you came out to The K at all this past week, we really don't need to remind you of the cold temperatures, right? Pretty sure most of us here in the front office haven't warmed up completely yet! Regardless, we made it through and – as we all cross our fingers and toes – hopefully that's the last frigid homestand of the 2008 season!
CLOSING SHOT: And, as a final note, here is the classic overview shot from the Royals 2008 home opener – enjoy!
1 Comment
Gah, didn't get a jersey on Saturday! I hope you rerun the promo later in the year, it obviously was a big hit.
Also, can you post a bigger version of that last shot? It looks really nice.

By Colleen Jenkins and Gene Cherry
(Reuters) – Tropical Storm Arthur was expected to reach hurricane strength by Thursday, dousing some July Fourth holiday plans on the U.S. East Coast as officials closed beaches and tourist sites and delayed fireworks shows in anticipation of heavy rain and fierce winds.
Tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches were issued along North Carolina's coast after the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season strengthened overnight, U.S. forecasters said on Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Center lifted the tropical storm watch for Florida but warned Arthur could produce dangerous rip currents along the coasts of several Southern states.
The storm also was forecast to dump up to 2 inches of rain across the eastern Florida peninsula and coastal North Carolina and could cause flooding as the result of storm surge.
Predictions of a soaked holiday had some local businesses worried about taking a financial hit and vacationers wondering if they should cancel their beach trips.
"We're telling them what we know now, that they need to pay attention but that it looks like it's going to be gone by the weekend," Debbie Smith, mayor of Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, told the Wilmington StarNews.
Several towns and villages on North Carolina's Outer Banks and coast began rescheduling Independence Day festivities and fireworks plans as the storm approached.
But Lee Nettles, executive director of the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau in Manteo, said he did not think businesses would be hurt too badly by the storm.
"You are looking at a day or maybe day and a half that will potentially be impacted, so I don't know that the economic impact will be much or anything really in terms of tourism spending," he said.
The storm remained out at sea with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour on Wednesday, about 105 miles (165 km) east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, and 260 miles south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina.
Moving northward at 7 mph, Arthur could be packing hurricane force winds of 85 mph (135 kph) when the outer bands brush the Carolinas on Thursday and Friday before weakening, according to the hurricane center's forecast maps.
The National Park Service ordered the evacuation by 5 p.m. Wednesday of visitors from the narrow barrier islands of the Cape Lookout National Seashore on North Carolina's central coast.
