( USA TODAY) - An American is among the at least 12 Algerians and foreigners who are known dead from the terrorist takeover at a natural gas facility in eastern Algeria, the state Algerian Press Service and U.S. officials said Friday.
Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists continued to hold as many as seven hostages, according to API. U.S. officials told the Associated Press that am American died in the hostage standoff: Texas resident Frederick Buttaccio. It is unclear how he died.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter, say Buttaccio's remains have been recovered and his family has been notified.
The Algerian news service, noting that its figures are "provisional," said 18 of the kidnappers were also "put out of action."
Reports of casualties -- and even the number of hostages involved -- have fluctuated wildly since more than a dozen al-Qaeda-linked terrorists attacked the remote desert facility on Wednesday, taking scores of Algerian and foreign hostages.
APS reported earlier Friday that Algerian soldiers freed 573 Algerians and nearly 100 of the 132 non-Algerians in Thursday's raid at the Ain Amenas plant, 800 miles south of Algiers, the capital.
Even with the latest report, however, it remains unclear how many foreign workers died in the raid or of what nationality, and how many escaped the facility.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that she spoke with Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal for the third straight day for an update on the "very difficult situation" and "to underscore again that the utmost care must be taken to preserve innocent life."
Earlier Friday, leaders of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that took over the plant said it wanted to trade the American hostages it held for two convicted terrorists being held in U.S. jails, Mauritania's ANI news agency reported Friday.
The terrorists say they want the release of Egyptian Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman and Pakistani Aafia Siddiqui and plan to release a video outlining the offer, according to the news agency, which often reports news from North African extremists.
The 74-year-old Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," is serving a life sentence in North Carolina as the mastermind of the1993 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.
Siddiqui, a 40-year-old scientist, was sentenced in 2010 to 86 years in U.S. prison for assault with intent to murder for shooting at two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan during her detention in 2008.
Asked to comment on hostage takers demands, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said: "The United States does not negotiate with terrorists. We're obviously in consultation with the Algerians."
The Algerian special forces who carried out the raid killed up to 20 hostage-takers, members of an Islamic group known as Qatiba, which translates as Signers in Blood. The forces have surrounded a portion of the facility where more terrorists and some hostages remain, provincial administration sources told APS.
The military was still trying to reach a "peaceful settlement" before "neutralizing" the terrorist group, security sources told APS.
Workers at the facility included citizens of Britain, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands and the United States British Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday during an address to members of parliament that efforts to free the hostages without violence are continuing.
A U.S. official said late Thursday that while some Americans escaped, other Americans remained either held or unaccounted for, the Associated Press reported. The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Earlier Friday, the Reuters news agency, citing local sources, reported that a U.S. plane has landed in Algeria to pick up Americans caught up in the crisis. Reuters also reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, speaking to security specialists in London on Friday, said "Terrorists should be on notice that they will find no sanctuary, no refuge, not in Algeria, not in North Africa, not anywhere."
Cameron and others complained that Algeria went ahead with its raid without alerting Western leaders they were planning an attack.
Reuters, citing an Algerian security source, is reporting that 30 hostages were killed in the assault, including several Westerners.
Members of the hostage-takers Qatiba have been in contact with the ANI news agency and told them that the raid by Algerian forces killed the ground leader of their group, Abou El Baraa.
Reuters, citing a Algerian security source, identified one one of the dead militants as Tahar Ben Cheneb, described as a "prominent commander in the region."
In all the chaos, it was not immediately clear if two militant leaders were killed, or whether the reports were referring to the same person by different names.
Qatiba was created in December by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who broke off from the terror group al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to form his own operation. The kidnappers come from Algeria, Canada, Mali, Egypt, Niger and Mauritania, ANI said.
AQIM is operates out of nearby Mali, where it is fighting the Mali army and French forces to take over that country and impose an Islamic state.

Baked Eggs in Hash Brown Cups
Since most days breakfast ends up being a quick bowl of cereal or grab-and-go muffin, it's especially nice when the weekend rolls around to make up for our Monday through Friday breakfast sins. For special occasions and holidays, brunch is the perfect meal for a crowd that wants to have their eggs and sleep in too. Baked Eggs in Hash Brown Nests are not only lovely to look at, but also the perfect solution for feeding a crowd all at once. Attractive and savory, they can be made with any combination of veggies, meat, and cheese to please your guests.
When I saw a recent post by Yankee Senior Lifestyle Editor Amy Traverso on Baked Shirred Eggs and Bacon, a quick dish where eggs are essentially baked in jackets of bacon with cheese and cream on top, it reminded me that I needed to get back in the kitchen for another attempt at baked eggs in hash brown cups. A previous attempt had failed when the hash browns didn't stick together enough to form a solid cup, and were too small to adequately hold both filling and an egg. The results were edible, but not pretty, so it was time for round 2.
This time I invested in a jumbo muffin tin to give me a bigger hash brown cup, but ramekins or custard cups would also work well. To help the hash browns stick together better, I took a tip from my homemade veggie burger experience and added 2 beaten egg whites. Both modifications made a world of difference.
Hash brown fans can fry up an extra amount for one seriously potato-riffic plate.
Happy Brunching!

Variable mn9 : Size of child at birth
Type: Discrete
Format: numeric
Width: 1
Decimal(s): 0
Range: 1-9
Valid case(s): 3093 (3069.7)
Invalid: 7159 (6912.3)
Minimum: 1
Maximum: 9
File: wm
Women aged 15-49 who gave birth to a child in the 2 years preceding the survey
Source of information
The eligible woman selected for interview
|Very large
|Larger than average
|Smaller than average
|Very small
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Literal question
When your last child (name) was born, was he/she very large, larger than average, average, smaller than average, or very small?
Interviewer instructions
Low-birthweight babies are at higher risk of serious illness or death than other babies. Mothers are asked to give the baby's birthweight, but since some babies are not weighed at birth, a mother's subjective assessment of the baby's size at birth is important. When the information from women who answer these questions is analysed, we can obtain an indication of what women mean by these subjective categories. This information can provide an estimate of the average birthweight. Read the entire question exactly as written before accepting an answer. This is the woman's own opinion about the size of her baby. Even if she knows the child's birthweight, tell her that you want to know her own idea of whether the baby was very large, larger than average, average, smaller than average or very small. If the respondent is unable to tell you, do not try to guess the answer based on the birthweight information or the appearance of the baby; circle '8' for 'DK'. In cases when the woman knows the birthweight of the baby and tells you the exact weight, do not use your judgement to influence her response in MN9. In other words, even if the woman tells you that her baby was smaller than average while the birthweight she is stating is quite large in your opinion, do not probe further to 'correct' the woman's perception of the size of the baby.

Banners are such a festive birthday decoration, I love them! Last year for my daughter's party we had panels prepared ahead of time with grommets in them. Each guest got one to decorate with fabric paints as the activity, and then we tied them together with ribbon and hung it up. We look forward to adding to it for years to come!

Thailand Travel guide
Thailand : Michelin's recommendations
The kingdom of Thailand, in the heart of Southeast Asia, shares borders with Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia. The kingdom of Siam has many faces, from mountain villages to tropical forests, from rice paddies to tropical islands, and from Buddhist temples to skyscrapers in Bangkok. Thanks to its geographical situation and tropical climate, Thailand boasts an exceptional variety of flora and fauna. The northern mountains, which form the southern tip of the Himalayas, contain species that are unknown in its other regions. In the south, the flora and fauna are similar to Malaysia and Indonesia. Nevertheless, the environment is increasingly threatened by economic development, in particular the tourist industry. The last great primary forests have all disappeared in Thailand, and more and more islands are being spoiled by tourist infrastructures.
A paradise for diving and trekking, spas and shopping, the country appeals to broke backpackers and businessmen. Its 2,700 kilometres of coastline attract beach buffs and sun-worshippers. Travellers will also be won over by the Thai sense of hospitality, a blend of kindness and nonchalance.
Bangkok is a place that takes you beyond the clichés, a contrasting and fascinating city of ten million inhabitants where luxury hotels rub shoulders with shantytowns. The beauty of its Buddhist temples is unforgettable.
Lastly, Thailand is among the top gastronomic destinations in the world, combining innumerable flavours and fragrances with the freshest of produce, especially fruit.

apparently from the Houston game the other day, per Twitter, lol
You know your team is bad when:
A planned game thread turns into a photoshop battle trying to poke fun at our coach
G-Man was frustrated, especially early in the 1st quarter. He even apologized for sounding frustrated, but said he just wanted to see better play.
PackfanMatt_12 read this thread yesterday but didn't post. Why doesn't he post? I always enjoy reading the comments.
IowaSacKing93, puffdaniel09, thanks for the posts in the game thread.
From what I heard during the 1st half, the Kings would kind of make runs to kind of keep it in range, but then Dallas would promptly go back on a run and get it to double digits again.
Smart >>>> Mussleman
Urine infection >>>>>>>> Mussleman
I like Keith as a person - and I think he's good at connecting with the players, but, he seems a bit overwhelmed. The talent isn't anything to write home about - especially the depth, but, I just don't understand his rotations. They're like hockey.

About this font family
The idea behind Geotica was to build a font out of -more or less- simple geometrical line elements. The open wire frame could then be left open or (partially) filled. Geotica comes in four different grades or line thicknesses (One, Two, Three and Four) so it's suitable for a broad use. Each grade has four styles and is loaded with swashes, final forms, lots of ligatures and ornaments.

(Reuters) – A Dutch doctoral student and former member of the Indiana University rowing team was among the nearly 300 passengers killed when a Malaysian airliner went down in Ukraine, the university said on Friday.
Karlijn Keijzer, 25, was a doctoral student in the chemistry department at the university, according to a school statement. She was a member of the Indiana women's rowing team during the 2010-11 season when she was a graduate student, the university said.
PHOTOS: Remembering the victims of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 attack
Head rowing coach Steve Peterson said Keijzer became the leader of the team's top crew after being recruited from her hometown of Amsterdam.
"She was a phenomenal rower," Peterson told Reuters. "It was one of the best years we've had ever in our team history."
Peterson described Keijzer as "the ideal student-athlete" and recalled her happy, optimistic demeanor.
"She was always smiling," he said.
All 298 people on board Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 were killed when it went down on Thursday.

CindySays: Take pride in your gains when you lose
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Just as our new year's resolutions are wearing thin, and right in the middle of the heart-health month of February, we're given one more opportunity to take better care of ourselves. I refer to the Lenten season.
For many Christian denominations, Lent is a 40-day period of sacrifice in honor of something bigger than one's self. Giving up something we love or are addicted to for Lent is no easy task. However, this mild form of deprivation is a worthy endeavor even if not founded in religion, because if successful, it can easily improve the quality of our life.
Admittedly, it's a tough sell. Americans aren't really into doing without the things that make them feel good. Still, if framed the right way, it just might be embraced. What we need is a way to change the way we think about this concept. Who better than skilled advertisers to rework the idea of restraint and turn deprivation into inspiration? I heartily applaud Kellogg's newest multimedia ad campaign focused on better health by challenging people with the question what will you gain when you lose?
Tip the scale
Using this thought-provoking tagline, the producers of the commercial, filmed in Times Square, invited women onto a larger-than-life scale to see what it would reveal. Those who agreed to step on paused anxiously, expecting their weight to be revealed to hundreds of bystanders. Surprisingly, the brave souls were greeted with good news. Instead of showing numbers, it provided positive feedback showing them what they would gain. Confidence. Joy. Satisfaction. Fly. Pizzazz. This is marketing at its best.
Don't give it up
Why not look at any weight loss or habit-kicking attempt like this? Rather than contemplating the thought of being without, try reframing it as a time to add something to your life. Our minds are definitely susceptible to the power of suggestion. We tend to narrow our focus and lament what we have to leave behind when we should be widening our view of focus to encompass what we might discover.
Here are some examples.
Forgo these:
And envision these:
Make it a habit
Consider this: About 40 percent of our daily actions are because of our ingrained habits rather than by an actual decision we make. So, obviously, the habits we form or reform are extremely important. Deciding to change an undesirable habit doesn't happen overnight; it relies heavily upon a solid pledge over a period of time. Gathering the willpower to remain active or to eat healthier, for example, requires a commitment to something larger than us. It also helps to have a support system in place for times of weakness. Sometimes a friend's gentle reminder or nudge off the sofa is all the inspiration we need to put us back on the right track.
Back to the scales
If you're one who's trying to shed a few pounds and firm up underused muscles, why not think about all the things you could gain if you lose. Instead of concentrating on numbers, it might be interesting to take note of other important markers, such as your energy level, your mood, the way your clothes fit, how you sleep, how your skin looks, how your hair shines. And you'll take pride in the example you're setting for those around you. Don't be surprised if after you lose a little, you gain a lot.

CHICAGO (AP) - A shipment of 18 human heads held up by customs officials at O'Hare International Airport was bound for a cremation service in the Chicago area after its use in medical research abroad.
A spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, Mary Paleologos, said Tuesday that the heads were originally sent from Illinois to Italy for medical research and were returned to the area for disposal as part of the agreement.
She says a paperwork problem held up the shipment, which arrived at O'Hare in mid-December.
The containers were being stored at the Cook County morgue while authorities investigated the matter.
Paleologos says the heads will be turned over for cremation.

National Ballet of China: Swan Lake
The National Ballet of China, founded in 1959, has created a unique fusion between western classical ballet and Chinese culture by developing its own works that represent the varied characteristics of China. On its fi rst Canadian tour, this production of Swan Lake, choreographed by the great Russian ballerina Natalia Makarova, showcases the company's solid foundation in Russian-style classical ballet. The strong, assured ensemble is grandly suited to the extreme demands of the classical style. The placement of the dancer's body, the articulation of phrasing, the ravishing fl ow of movement and the perfect outlines of a gesture as it lingers on the air, are tribute to the gifted dancers as well as to the academic discipline that has shaped the entire ensemble.

ATLANTA -- They've protested several times, but the construction still continued as planned. So what's next for those who are against a new Family Dollar store being built at the corner of Benjamin Mays Drive and Fairburn Road?
Possibly a legal or environmental angle. They'll look at permits and code requirements for the property to make sure all the rules were followed.
"And if all else fails, we will not take protests off the table," said Edith Lapido of the Cascade Heights Business Improvement Association. "Because people are not going to shop somewhere where there's a picket line."
Southwest Atlanta community members hope to meet with company reps and politicians Monday. A community meeting will start at 6 p.m. at the Adamsville Recreation Center on MLK. Lapido said representatives from the offices of the mayor and Rep. John Lewis could be there to join them.
"I don't think it's ever too late, [to continue to fight]," Lapido said. "I think there's always a strategy that the community can use."
Lapido and others say Family Dollar unfairly targets certain areas. There are already three along one 2.5 mile stretch of MLK. They worry the flood of discount stores could discourage other businesses from relocating to the area.
The company says they only put stores where they will be successful. One of the locations around the corner had a busy parking lot all Sunday morning.
"It helps me in many ways," said Family Dollar shopper Wilmer Hawk. "It helps me put more butter and bread on the table, and it helps me put more gas in the gas tank. I think there should be more of them built."
Lapido knows there are plenty of Family Dollar fans. But that doesn't faze her or the others who plan to show up Monday.
"I think there are plenty of Family Dollars in this community for them to shop at," Lapido said. "They don't have to have one on every corner."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Stick ball, kick the can and hopscotch have been replaced by PlayStation, Nintendo and Words with Friends, but the Washington Redskins are working to get kids moving again and thriving through exercise.
"And one hour a day I want you to get physical activity... I want you to get moving, get up and get active one hour a day," the children were told. With that, about 150 fourth through sixth graders hit the mini combine course inside the bubble at Redskins Park.
Daniel Peterjohn, a fourth grader at Mt. Vernon Woods Elementary, pointed out, "And then over there we were doing obstacle courses and then down there is like, running a ball."
The children taking part in the ultimate fitness class are from four Northern Virginia schools. They hit five exercise stations manned by Washington Redskins player such as D.C. born and bred wide receiver Josh Morgan.
"It's good for these kids to stay active, it actually helps them. The more active they are the better they learn, the more focused they are in the classroom," said Morgan.
Redskins running back Alfred Morris told us, "I'm a big kid at heart, so it works out. I mean, I love coming out here and just having fun. I'm one of them and I may be older, my age may say I'm older, but I'm just a big ol' kid at heart."
Morris pushed his group. "The program is set up so we can get kids excited about health and exercise and food and physical fitness... is it working?"
Kazim Khan, a fourth grader at Mt. Vernon Woods Elementary said, "They want to tell us to be healthy, get one hour of outside, even more if you can exercise some more and eat healthy."
Capital City Public Charter fifth grader Willa Hance told us, "They brought us here today so we can be fit and stay active."
She says she enjoys it: "I think it's really fun except I'm not very good at catching a football..."
The emphasis on healthy students is courtesy of the NFL and the United Way's Play 60 Program and insurance company Kaiser Permanente's Thriving Schools Program.
Besides the organized event, there was a lot of free form fun and competition -- just another way to keep kids active.

The Left: Misogyny Apologists Under the Guise of Tolerance
The Left constantly claims the mantle of being Pro-Women's Rights. Yet, they prove time and time again that it is lip service only. In fact, they are often either misogynists or misogyny apologists themselves, all in the name of some sort of call for a perverted version of "diversity" and "tolerance." They've recently gone so far as to condone genital mutilation. They have defended child | Read More »

Talk of the towns
Politics | After a bus tour of important swing states, the president left people happy to see him but not necessarily convinced that he should get four more years in Washington
NORTH CAROLINA and VIRGINIA-I had one request in late October after entering Reid's House Restaurant, located in North Carolina just below the Virginia border. I wanted to know where President Barack Obama had sat. Just one week earlier, the president's $1.1 million black armored bus, Ground Force One, had come to Reidsville and this roadside diner with the self-proclaimed "best food in town."
Soon I found myself back outside digging through my car for enough change to buy a late lunch. Reid's House is a cash-only establishment. However, owner Clint Marsh said he told Obama he'd make an exception and accept a check from him with proper identification. No such luck for me.
In 2008, by just three-tenths of a percentage point, North Carolina went Democratic in a presidential election for the first time since 1976. Neighboring Virginia also chose Obama, going Democratic for the first time since 1964.
But one year away from the 2012 elections, Obama can no longer count on support from these two states. His approval ratings in both Virginia and North Carolina now are below 50 percent. On a mission to give these numbers a boost, Obama left behind the slog of legislating in Washington and spent three late October days in the two states.
This gave voters here an up-close view of the president's campaign charisma. At Reid's, Obama asked one diner if he'd eaten all his vegetables before dessert and told a couple married for 59 years that he had 44 years to catch up to them. Outside, Obama talked to a woman's grandmother on a cell phone and asked a brewery worker if he had any samples.
Obama seems more comfortable with this brand of street-level retail politicking than he does with Capitol Hill-level legislating. The next 12 months will afford Obama plenty of opportunities to play to his strength. Overcoming an aggressive campaign fueled by Obama's likely $1 billion campaign war chest will be the biggest hurdle for the eventual Republican nominee.
Reporters filed news accounts of Obama's North Carolina and Virginia bus swing with favorable crowd comments. One onlooker said Obama is a "handsome fella" while another said, "We love him dearly." One lady swore she'd never wash the hand Obama shook.
I wondered what the people in these mostly small towns would say a week later, after the excitement of the presidential entourage had worn off. Would the realities of the persistently high unemployment plaguing their communities trump the president's lingering charms?
WORLD would not foot the bill for a $1 million bus, so I drove myself in my 2004 Jeep Liberty.
"The country was headed in the wrong direction when (Obama) took office," said Carol Creed, my seatmate along the L-shaped counter inside Reid's where I sat on a stool and ate the same $4.65, two beef patties Master Burger ordered by Obama. "But he has done nothing to help it. I'd give him an F. He's failed."
Creed, a retired insurance worker, lists Democrats John Kennedy and Jimmy Carter as two of the best presidents in her lifetime. But she faults Obama for not having a plan other than throwing more money at the nation's problems in the form of bailouts, stimulus, and new entitlements. "We already have too much government in just about everything," she said.
The unemployment rate in this town of 15,000 is nearly 12 percent. That's higher than the national average. Young people, including two of Creed's three children, are abandoning Reidsville for work in bigger cities like nearby Greensboro. "I would have asked him if he would bring some jobs with him to Reidsville," said Faye Cayton, a waitress at this Waffle House-style diner who was off the day Obama visited.
Chesley Overby, retired from the Navy, said he is "super impressed that Obama went in there and got Bin Laden." Such approval of Obama's foreign policy is a common refrain on my trip. But Betty Talbot, who works at a local hospital, said she has grown tired of Obama's strategy of blaming George W. Bush for the nation's economic problems. "He controlled Congress for two years," she said. "Why didn't he get anything done then?" When asked about the 2010 healthcare law, Talbot just shakes her head.
After finishing off my chocolate pie (owner Marsh boasts that Obama ordered two desserts-the pie and the banana pudding. But I had enough change leftover for just one), I drove deeper into the state, past trees sprinkled with fall colored leaves, toward my next stop in the North Carolina mountains.
Rob Noyes got a 20-minute notice that the president was coming to lunch at his Countryside Barbeque restaurant in the city of Marion. Located off the interstate near Asheville, N.C., Marion has a population of 8,000. According to its welcome signs, Marion is "where main street meets the mountains." When Obama's motorcade arrived on Oct. 17, police blocked off entrance and exit ramps along the interstate, forcing travelers stopped for gas to take extended breaks.
Inside Countryside Barbeque, agents conducted a security sweep with bomb-sniffing dogs, locals eating lunch submitted to checks with metal detecting wands, and two chefs traveling with the president supervised the cooks as they prepared Obama's pork platter. The menu says this popular plate is "made with lots of love" and includes sweet potato fries seasoned with brown sugar.
Obama went to every booth in the restaurant before taking his meal to go. He heard concerns about tight budgets, layoffs, bailouts, and regulations.
A week after Obama's visit, Noyes, the restaurant's owner, said he is concerned that most of the president's advisors have academic backgrounds rather than business experience. "They haven't been out here in the trenches going through the trials that we do," said Noyes, who is quick to add that he is frustrated with nearly all of Washington's partisan gridlock. "When both parties cover their tails we don't solve anything."
Local music store owner Woody Killough, who has written Obama a couple of times, said he is willing to give the president the benefit of the doubt for having to manage the war and the economy. "I can't hardly work and eat ice cream at the same time. Now that the war is over and soldiers are coming home he has to focus on jobs."
Obama left the barbeque restaurant after 35 minutes but not before paying for the meals of one table of diners. Obama's bus headed deeper into the Blue Ridge Mountains. But there remained one place in Marion that Ray Davis wished the president had visited.
Davis pastors the Clinchfield United Methodist Church located less than four miles from Countryside Barbeque. Here at this one-story red brick church a team of volunteers serves hot meals to about 500 people each week. The program started two and a half years ago after Davis visited a local elementary school for lunch. There he saw a girl shovel the scraps of her lunch into an empty milk carton.
"What are you doing," he asked.
"Mr. Davis, I'm taking this home so I can have something to eat tonight," the girl replied.
Davis started a backpack program providing 285 children with a pack of food to take home every Friday. Then the economy got worse. So Davis expanded the meal program. He now has 65 volunteers and relies on donations to cover the $500 weekly cost.
The unemployment rate in the county is more than 12 percent. But counting those who have stopped looking for work, Davis thinks the real unemployment figure is somewhere between 20 to 24 percent. Several of the area's textile mills and furniture factories that formed the community's economic backbone have shut down. Residents who lost homes began sleeping in their cars. Then they lost their cars. A tent city sprouted up near Marion's railroad tracks.
"I came up with this program so they can save what little finances they have to keep their homes and cars," Davis said. "But that hasn't worked out for many."
Davis refuses government funding-"too many conditions, too much paperwork," he says-but he still regrets that Obama, so close in his trek through Marion, did not visit. "He could have seen the people who are hurting and suffering and the people who are trying to take care of them without the government's help. You can talk about it all day long. But I believe our politicians would have greater passion if they could see."
Crossing into southern Virginia, I had one more stop to make on my backtracking of Obama. Driving through the center of Brodnax, Va., my odometer barely registered one mile from one welcome sign to the next along the town's Piney Pond Road.
Here Obama seemed to get the best reception of his trip. During a group photo someone yelled, "Yes we can!" Stopping next to a childcare center and a one-story brick post office, Obama shook the hands of bystanders young and old including Wesley Morris. I met Morris a week later outside the same post office. The owner of a local rental company, Morris said it was hard not to be impressed with Obama's "good personality."
But he accused the president of not changing the Washington culture like he promised. "The change he has brought has not been good," Morris said. "We can't stand 14 more months of this much less four more years."
Morris opposes Obama's proposed tax increases: "Why are you going to penalize somebody for getting off their front porch and making something of themselves?" He also thinks that Obama's insistence on bigger government shows that he doesn't grasp that the country is broke: "I'm an economics major, and I can't wrap my mind around it. But I do know that I can't eat steak five times a week when I'm broke."
However, two retirees also visiting the post office said Obama deserves a second term. "I don't think Congress has really supported him," said Alvin Hayspell. "They are just kicking him any way they can," added Nathaniel Harrison.
Obama's campaign tactic to blame Congress for the stagnant economy seems to be taking hold with several people I talked to on my trip. "If they vote against taking steps that we know will put Americans back to work right now," Obama said on this bus tour, "then they're not going to have to answer to me. They're going to have to answer to you."
But the biggest discovery I had following in Obama's footsteps was the near unanimous discontent over Obama's GOP challengers. Creed in Reidsville said she is tired of the GOP debates. "Everybody huffs and puffs and says whatever they can to get into office." Hayspell of Brodnax answered my question about the Republican contenders with a question of his own that should unsettle conservatives: "Who's running?"
Obama's trips to court voters in states that bucked their GOP traditions in 2008 will continue over the next year. Of the nine states that went Democrat in the 2008 presidential election after voting for a Republican in 2004, eight are listed as toss-ups for 2012. For Obama to win, he likely needs to recapture them all again.
Obama will be in his element on the campaign trail. But, as his armored Ground Force One racks up the miles in the coming months, Obama's reelection hopes may not survive too many homemade roadside signs like the one a woman held aloft as the presidential motorcade drove through the North Carolina mountains last month: "We Believed, We Voted. Now What."

We are pleased to find that PDX was featured in this month's GreenPacks Magazine, an environmentally-friendly news magazine read throughout the country. According to GreenPacks, PDX reflects the green nature of Portland, which is considered one of the greenest cities in the world.
Portland International Airport Goes Green
Portland International Airport, Oregon welcomes you with all its vibrant greenness. The airport boasts of a well-kept, maintained and manicured vertical garden which breathes in fresh air into the place. Portland is one of the greenest cities in the world and the airport authorities are quite successful in reflecting the green nature of the place in setting up the airport.
Well, going green is not just confined to these hanging plants in the multi-level parking lot or in setting up the garden. The airport terminal's roadway is covered by a solar panel-clad glass canopy.
It currently produces about 12,000 kilowatt-hours of energy per year. The airport also has set an example in the area of recycling as well. It runs a successful food waste diversion program that involves several tons of food waste as well as other usual airport wastes like napkins and food-soiled paper.
Portland International Airport has other achievements to add to its credit, apart from its environment consciousness. Conde Nast Traveler magazine named it the top domestic airport for three out of the last four years.
The airport offers free wireless Internet, a good number of shops selling local goods and even the TriMet light rail access to downtown Portland. So if you like shopping and roaming around in an international airport, this is place of must-visit.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) - We're into the all out sprint for the finish of the Presidential race, and it's a measure of just how critical Virginia is to Mitt Romney's calculus that he's spent three of the last five days here.
President Obama might be able to assemble a winning margin in the Electoral College without Virginia. But even Republican analysts say for Romney, the odds are almost impossible without the Commonwealth.
"One more day!" roared thousands of Romney supporters jammed the inside of the Patriot Center and thousands more circled outside, unable to get in. "If anyone watching American politics wants to know where the energy is, it's right here," Romney told the crowd to cheers.
The Romney campaign insists that energy shows a newfound momentum for the Republican that will bring a rout on Tuesday, although the campaign has a hard time pointing to any polls that track that Big Mo.
Joe Biden spoke to a much smaller -- but no less enthusiastic crowd in Sterling. Four years ago, it was Mr. Obama who delivered his final pre-election speech in Virginia. This year, Virginians had to make-do with the Vice President.
"There is no quit in America. Never has an never will," he said. "We need you Virginia. And if we win Virginia, we'll win the election."
Romney hits four states on election eve.... and his campaign just added two more on election day -- Ohio and Pennsylvania -- in a last minute effort to broaden the battleground.
Romney's closing argument: that if he wins, he'll bring "real change from day one" -- and that President Obama has failed to deliver. "You hope that President Obama would live up to his promises... He hasn't. I will."
After the polls close tomorrow night, if you want an early sense of who is going to win, keep a close eye on Virginia.
And an even closer eye on the returns from Prince William County. The pundits say that battleground county in this battleground state could be a real early indicator.
That is unless its so close that we have to wait until Wednesday morning -- or even longer -- to find out who will live in the White House for the next four years.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Damian Lillard drained a 3-pointer within the
final second as the Portland Trail Blazers held off a fourth-quarter surge by

|A bird's eye view
Three baby birds tucked inside their nest, which is nestled deep in a hanging basket of flowers, are not at all concerned under the peering eye of five-year-old Griffen Schrotberger. The three little hatchlings are beginning to get feathers—a fourth egg remains in the nest. It has been typical for several years for a mother bird to build a nest somewhere on the outdoor plant patio at the Country Gardens Greenhouse on the north edge of Grant. (Photo by Jan Rahn)

Looks like stainless steel as well.
It is hard to tell from the photo, but that doesn't look like rust. Did it clean off easy?
Looks like stainless steel as well.
it didn't clean off, but i didn't try real hard either. I'm positive it was rust, i even showed a few friends before i called remington to get a few other opinions. I just kept getting more mad as i found more spots all over this "new" gun. I may be making a mountian out of a mole hill but since i bought a brand new gun that is where i was holding my expectations. Either way i sent it back and i told them i wanted a refund. It looks like my origional purpose for this thread (mounting a base) will have to be postponed for a little while.
That is a real bummer OBBB5,
I don't know how it happened, especially being stainless steel, but on the bright side ...
You get to go gun shopping.
I hope it turns out better the next time.
Thanks Bitterroot. I'm not sure how it would happen on a stainless gun either, when i talked with remington they told me this gun was on backorder and it would be months before it could be replaced so im wondering if they tried to fix mine with a barrel and action that was just laying around or something or maybe used.

We really haven't beaten anyone that is a tourney caliber team yet except for Texas, who will be a bubble team, but if they make it, our chances are probably actually lower because I don't see the B12 getting 6 this year.
We'll be fighting K-State and UT neck and neck for 4/5th spots in the conference. These two are pretty much must wins.
If we lose one or God forbid two, you can still get in, but our margin for error will be next to nil.
Thoroughly surprised you aren't Clones21
How many must wins have we had this year? I think the count is at 8.
I'm saying we win em, sue me if we don't.
Must win is overused.
To quote Marv Levy, "World War II was a must win." KU is just another game.

Well when you start off with 3 OOC losses and a week non conf schedule, you paint yoursefl into a corner where you have to win a lot of games in the conference. We are 4-3, so I'd say we're getting to the point where we can't lose many more home games.
To repeat what I said in another thread, according to ISU fans the MBB team has had so many "must win" games this year that they might as well put the I-State logo right next to the term "must win" in the Book of Cliches.
Labeling every single game a "must win" is what gets people saying "season over" in the middle of a poorly played game, even when there's a significant portion of the season yet to be played.
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
Nope. We could lose the next two and win out and be just fine.
isnt every game a must win? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMk5sMHj58I]Herm Edwards- Greatest Coach Ever! - YouTube[/ame]
Really sick of the phrase must win.

If we lose the next two, the odds of us winning at Mizzou and K-State, along with sweeping Baylor would be roughly 5%

Why do we have to win those 4 games if we lose to KU and KSU?

The Garage Plan Shop: 6 Uses for Garage Plans Other than Parking
Most of us think of the garage as a place to park the car, but overtime, garages have evolved into much more that. The garage can accommodate many more needs than traditional parking. Designed to accommodate anything from one car to four or more vehicles, the sky is the limit when it comes to the many possibilities a garage can offer. If you need extra space to accommodate a specific need, consider garage plans. Here are some of the most popular uses for garage plans beyond parking the family cars:
Storage Space – Every family needs storage. Whether you lack a basement or your basement and attic are overflowing with boxes, a detached garage makes a great storage space for items that just don't seem to fit in the house. A garage also works well for storing sporting equipment and the kids' toys from bikes and scooters to ball gloves, golf clubs and even hunting gear. Garages can provide a place for storing seasonal items when not in use such as pool equipment and patio furniture when the weather turns cold and holiday decorations. Add shelves and cabinets for organization.
Lawn and Garden Shed – For those with a green thumb, there are always tools, supplies and other lawn and garden equipment that need to be stored rear round. A 1-car or 2-car garage offers a nice alternative to a backyard shed and features an overhead door making it easy to access big items like the riding lawn mower without a hassle. Furthermore, it is easy to add shelves or cabinets to accommodate small hand tools, flower pots, seeds and bulbs for your flower or vegetable garden. You might even want to add a planting table or utility sink.
Workshop – The family handy man will know just how to convert a detached garage plan into a workshop. Garages make a great shop area providing opens spaces to work on large projects with plenty of room to store tools, lumber and other supplies. They even offer enough space to add a workbench or table. Furthermore, there is no need to clean up your home repair project every time you work on it. A workshop will allow you to leave the project in progress and come back to finish it later. Plus, you'll have peace of mind knowing you can lock the garage keeping the kids from wandering inside and possibly harming themselves with sharp tools or heavy items.
Hobby Room – Hobbyists, crafters and woodworkers often need a large workspace to work on various projects that can be dirty, create a lot of dust or require a large layout space that a room in the home or the basement can't provide. Building a detached garage plan for a hobby room keeps the mess outside and provides the hobbyist a space all his or her own to work on projects without disturbing the family or creating unwanted noises and messes inside the house. Garage plans offer more than enough storage space for tools and supplies. Add good task lighting, a workbench, table or other work surface and you'll be ready to go!
Mechanic's Garage – Auto mechanics and car enthusiasts might like a detached garage for working on cars rather than just protecting them from the elements. Furthermore, these people have a lot of tools and auto parts. Many designs include storage closets providing a great place to keep these items out of a child's reach.
Detached garage plans a very versatile and flexible accommodating many different needs. What can a garage plan do for you?

Brickyard Lounge and Grill - Takin' The GreenWritten by on March 22, 2011 Daytona's Brickyard
For many, Daytona Beach, Florida, is the Mecca of motorsports. From early century land speed records contested on the beach to the rise of NASCAR to modern day dirt track racing, the area surrounding Daytona is rich in racing history-past, present and future.
This issue will be in the hands of our subscribers the week just prior to Daytona's annual Speedweeks. And if you have plans to come to the Sunshine State (or maybe you live here) for February's racing festivities we figure you probably used our Speedweeks Guide in last month's issue. So this month we thought we'd let you in on our favorite place to grab a bite when the CT team is in and around the big track, New Smryna Speedway, or Volusia Raceway Park. This is a great little joint not far from Daytona International Speedway on West International Speedway Blvd.
It's called the Brickyard Lounge and Grill and it's known for its burgers, which is a big reason why we like it. As you might guess, the CT crew has eaten many a cheeseburger during our travels throughout the land. Our favorite, by far, can be found only at the Brickyard. It's a hand-formed burger that is cooked to order with a wide variety of toppings available. You can even get jalapeños.
Of course, Circle Track is not a food magazine by any stretch of the imagination, so you probably guessed that the Brickyard has a serious racing theme to it. In fact, it's full of racing lore, not only on the walls but in the patrons. It's not unusual to go to the Brickyard for lunch and see racers, sanction heads, and fans dining side by side.
The Brickyard is owned by L.L. "Renny" Miles, Jr. and his wife, Penny. The self-described drag racing junkie was exposed to motorsports at an early age and has close ties to both drag and oval track racing. But with a father in the grocery business, Renny was destined to end up in the food business after graduating from the Steed Business College at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, in 1974 with a degree in Business Administration and marketing. Following a career with General Foods, the Virginia native moved back to Florida with his wife, who is originally from Clearwater.
When he and Penny bought the Brickyard in 1992 they knew they wanted the restaurant to have a racing theme. Naturally, being a stone's throw from Daytona International Speedway, the place is frequented by racers from all walks of life.
"Paul Newman, all the guys from Childress' crew, dirt track guys, they've all been here at one time or another," says Miles.
With all those racers coming in the place, you know that Renny has some great tales. "Bill Jr. (the late Bill France Jr. of NASCAR) loved this place," says Miles. "One day his secretary called me up wanting to order 15 burgers for lunch. I told her that I was too busy and couldn't fill the order for a couple of hours. She said, 'You know who I'm calling for, right?' I told her yes but it didn't matter, I had a restaurant full of customers. Well, she puts me on hold and Bill Jr. gets on the phone. He says, 'Miles, what do you mean you can't do 15 burgers for me?' I told him that I had a restaurant full of people and couldn't do it. He said, 'Well...you're the first son of a bitch to tell me no this week!' Then he said, 'Can you do three?' I said yeah but you'll still have to wait an hour. We had a good laugh."
Renny is full of stories like that one and he's always glad to share them with his customers. The Brickyard is located at 747 International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach, Florida, just 5 minutes east of the big track. The number is (386) 253-2270. So if you're in town for Speedweeks, or any time for that matter, hit the 'yard and tell 'em that Circle Track sent ya!

After bailout, Alarion has missed 6 of its interest payments to TARP
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 8:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 8:43 p.m.
In an effort to wind down the Troubled Asset Relief Program banking bailouts, the U.S. Treasury auctioned off Alarion Financial Services Inc.'s preferred stock for an estimated $6.73 million.
As of June 30, Alarion Financial, the holding company for Alarion Bank with headquarters in Ocala, had missed six of its bank bailout payments to the Treasury totaling $532,560.
"That is something that the regulators determine whether we do or not, and we follow their direction," Loralee Hutchinson, Alarion's chief executive officer and president, said.
In January 2009, Alarion received $6.5 million from the Capital Purchase Program of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, commonly referred to as TARP.
That program was initiated to stabilize the failing financial system by providing money to banks to help them absorb losses. The idea was to get credit flowing and avoid a collapse of the banking system.
Funds from the Capital Purchase Program went to 707 financial institutions in 48 states.
But the program was not a giveaway. In exchange for the money, the Treasury received preferred stock and securities from the institutions. Most of the institutions pay the Treasury an additional 5 percent dividend on preferred shares for the first five years and a nine percent rate after that. The Treasury also received warrants to purchase common shares or other securities from the banks in order to enable taxpayers to earn additional returns on their investments as the banks recovered.
In a July 24 report to Congress, the Office of the Special Inspector General for TARP (SIGTARP) said that as of June 30, Alarion missed its sixth payment of interest or dividends on the money it borrowed.
Alarion already had paid close to $1 million in interest and dividend payments on the $6.5 million it received under the program.
"We look at the principal and interest and dividend payments as separate obligations," said Troy Gravitt, SIGTARP's director of communications.
With the principal and outstanding dividends, Alarion owed the Treasury about $7 million.
"Each institution is going to be in a different situation," Gravitt said. "It may be a temporary situation where a bank is unable to pay. Some institutions have missed as many as 18 dividend and interest payments."
When institutions miss six or more payments, the Treasury may choose to appoint someone as an observer to the institution's board of directors. That depends on various factors, such as the amount of money owed. That was not the case with Alarion.
When asked why Alarion had not paid its dividends, Hutchinson said regulators make their determinations.
"They have their own criteria," Hutchinson said. "All we do is respond to what they tell us. Frankly, the government entities do not work hand-in-hand."
She said the bank has no control over that.
"We are plugging right along here and making progress," Hutchinson said. "We think we are poised to do some really great things."
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulates Alarion.
"We would not discuss anything regarding an open and operating institution," said FDIC spokesperson LaJuan William-Young when asked why they told Alarion not to pay the TARP dividends. "Our discussions with the bank are confidential."
Gravitt said it is SIGTARP's recommendation that the Treasury work with these banking regulators on the proper repayment process.
"We would argue that Treasury is not a private investor but has a public responsibility for stability of these institutions as a source of economic activity," Gravitt said.
For Alarion, the five-year dividend rate of 5 percent was due to increase to 9 percent in January 2014. If a bank cannot pay the 9 percent it can negotiate with the Treasury to have the 5 percent rate extended.
In the end, the Treasury owns a portion of the bank through the stock and can do one of three things: It can sell the shares back to the bank; it can sell the shares on the open market; or it can be part of a restructuring, which could attract new investors or a new institution.
In Alarion's case, the Treasury decided to auction the stock.
The Treasury on July 22 sold Alarion's 6,514 shares of preferred stock Series A stock at $982.90 per share and 326 shares of preferred stock Series B at $1,045.31 per share, for a total of $6.7 million.

Alaska has recently opened a few area to baiting of Grizzly/Brown Bears. The black bear bait hunters were complaining that the grizzlies would move in on their stands and keep the black bear away. They were making some grizzlies pretty fat from dog food and doughnuts!
The only caveat is that you have to salvage the meat of the bear for human consumption. Of course, that only means that you have to take it out of the field, they can't make you eat it. Non-residents still need to have a guide.
I just wondered what you all think of this; is it ethical? Anyone want to try a brown bear sandwich?

The other day my wife and I went on a beer tour together and it was one of the coolest experiences we had ever been on and one of the best tours we had ever been on! It was near Asheville, NC at the new Sierra Nevada Brewery. It is all state of the art and really rustic. It was very clean and overall mesmerizing. One of the first things I saw when we walked in was a kegerator, and it was one of the best ones I've ever seen. Stainless steel with a thermometer hooked up to it!
However, I was sad to see there was not a mini kegerator on the property…I guess this is because they don't sell mini kegs! I do think the kegerator they had was a dual tap kegerator which is cool because they could probably fit two kegs in the thing.
One of the coolest things we saw while we were there were the hops. We went in a room full of hops and got to touch and really smell them. You have never in your life smelt anything like this. It was so enriching, and made me really appreciate their beer all the more. I really can't wait to go back and tour the factory again. I believe right now they are only making a few beers, but when they get up and running they should be making a lot more beers on the property. Oh yeah they are going to have a restaurant too! So you can go eat and get your drink on at the same time. If you go make sure you stop by the gift shop because they have some awesome stuff in there. I got myself a new glass!
So, what was my favorite part???? The tasting! I got to taste a lot of beers. To be honest I've had a lot of them before but its always fun to drink again and try new things. Thanks Sierra Nevada for such a nice visit!

Democrats facing electoral disasters in NV-02, NY-09?
But before we start talking about implications, let's review the situations. NY-09. This D+5 seat was vacated by Anthony Weiner after pictures surfaced… and I don't need to end that sentence: it's never good for a politician's career when the phrase 'pictures surfaced' is used to describe his or her situation. The race thus is between Republican Bob Turner and Democrat David Weprin… and Democrats | Read More »
