Survey Results
Survey HighlightsTechnology-intensive labor the norm. A majority of women reported having each of the following interventions while giving birth: electronic fetal monitoring (93%), intravenous drip (86%), epidural analgesia (63%), artificially ruptured membranes (55%), artificial oxytocin to strengthen contractions (53%), bladder catheter (52%), and stitching to repair an episiotomy or a tear (52%).
High levels of satisfaction with care. An overwhelming proportion of mothers were pleased with the care that they received noting that they generally understood what was happening (94%), felt comfortable asking questions (93%), got the attention they needed (91%), and felt they were as involved as they wanted to be in making decisions (89%).
Frequency of labor induction. Almost half of all mothers reported that their caregiver tried to induce labor, most commonly through the use of artificial oxytocin. More than one-third of those mothers cited a non-medical factor as at least partially the reason for the attempted induction. The drugs or techniques used actually caused more than one-third of all labors to begin.
Popularity of epidurals. Almost two-thirds of the mothers used epidural analgesia, including 59% who had a vaginal birth. Mothers gave high ratings to the ability of epidurals to relieve labor pain, but between 26% and 41% of mothers were unable to respond to questions about side effects associated with epidurals.
Unknown birth attendant. Almost three in ten mothers said they had never, or had only briefly, met the person who delivered their baby before the birth. In about 4% of hospital births, mothers said that either a nurse who wasn't a midwife or a physician's assistant delivered their baby. Five percent reported choosing labor induction to be able to give birth with the caregiver of their choice.
Postpartum depression. Almost one mother in five was probably experiencing some degree of depression in the week preceding the survey, on the basis of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a validated screening tool.
Myth of the pain-free cesarean. For women who had a cesarean, pain in the area of the surgical incision was the leading postpartum health concern, with five out of six of these mothers citing it as a problem in the first two months and one in fourteen citing it as a problem at least six months after birth.
Highly rated pain relief methods rarely used. Although immersion in a tub, showering, and use of "birth balls" received high ratings for their help with labor pain, these approaches were used by 8% or fewer women.
Highly rated labor support of doulas and midwives. Doulas and midwives were the most highly rated providers of labor support, yet were used for this purpose far less frequently than other types of providers (5% and 11% respectively).
Limited support for "elective cesareans." By a margin of more than five to one mothers thought it unlikely that they would choose a cesarean for non-medical reasons for a future birth. Only 6% of women whose most recent birth was vaginal indicated that they would be likely to choose cesarean birth in the future.
Declining access to VBAC. The willingness of caregivers and hospitals to permit vaginal birth after a previous cesarean birth declined substantially for women who had given birth within twelve months of the survey, as compared to those who had given birth from twelve to twenty-four months earlier.
Differences in vaginal and cesarean birth experiences. Compared to women who gave birth vaginally, those with cesareans were less likely to "room-in" with their babies and be breastfeeding at one week, and more likely to experience several health concerns after the birth, including abdominal pain, bladder and bowel difficulties, headaches, and backaches.
Differences between first-time and experienced mothers. Compared to first-time mothers, experienced mothers were less likely to: attend childbirth education classes, use pain medications and various other labor interventions, report negative feelings during labor, have a physician as birth attendant, or give birth by cesarean. Experienced mothers also reported feeling more confident as parents, despite being as likely to report feeling "fatigued" and "disorganized" as first-time mothers.
Major Survey Findings: Women's Prenatal and Birth ExperiencesPlanning for pregnancy. More than one-third (38%) of our respondents wanted to become pregnant at a later point or had planned to never become pregnant. Less than one in three (30%) mothers said they visited a health care provider to plan for a healthy pregnancy.
Maternity care provider. Obstetricians provided prenatal care to three-fourths (77%) of mothers and delivered 80% of the babies of survey mothers. Midwives provided prenatal care to 13% of mothers and attended 10% of the births. Family physicians provided prenatal care for 7% of our respondents and attended 4% of their births.
Familiarity with provider. Fifteen percent of mothers said four or more people took the lead in providing prenatal care. Nineteen percent indicated that they did not meet the person who delivered their baby until they were in labor and another 10% said they met the person only briefly. In 4% of hospital births, mothers said that either a nurse who wasn't a midwife or a physician's assistant delivered their baby
Childbirth classes. While 70% of first-time mothers said they took childbirth education classes, only 19% of mothers who had given birth before did.
Place of birth. Nearly all births (97%) of survey mothers took place in hospitals.
Supportive care in labor. Virtually all women (99%) reported having received some type of supportive care while in labor, most commonly from husbands/partners and nursing staff.
Use of doulas, support from midwives. While a small number (5%) of women relied on doulas (trained labor assistants), this type of caregiver was rated highest in terms of quality of supportive care during labor. Midwives provided supportive care to the next smallest proportion of women (11%) and received next highest ratings in terms of the quality of this care.
Induction of labor. Almost half (44%) of all mothers and half (49%) of those giving birth vaginally reported that their caregiver tried to induce labor, most commonly through the use of artificial oxytocin. Almost one-fifth (18%) of mothers cited a non-medical explanation as the only reason for the attempted induction, and another 16% cited a non-medical reason along with a medical indication as the reason for the attempted induction. In four out of five women, the induction did in fact cause labor to begin.
Fetal monitoring during labor. Nearly all women had electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) some time during labor (93%). Most women used EFM continuously, and most had only external monitoring around their bellies. Just 6% of the mothers reported that a handheld device, such as a "doppler" or stethoscope, was used exclusively to monitor their baby during labor.
Medical interventions. While 20% of mothers indicated that they used no medications for pain relief, there were virtually no "natural childbirths" among the mothers we surveyed. Even mothers having a vaginal birth experienced a wide array of medical interventions including: being attached to an electronic fetal monitor continuously or nearly so throughout labor (93%); being connected to an IV line (85%); having their membranes artificially ruptured (67%); being given artificial oxytocin to start or stimulate labor (63%); having a gloved hand inserted into their uterus after birth (58%); using a catheter to remove urine (41%); getting an episiotomy (35%); and having pubic hair shaved (5%). Less than 1% of mothers gave birth without at least one of these interventions, and almost all of these came from the very small group (also less than 1%) of home births in our sample.
Use of epidurals. Most mothers (63%) reported using epidural analgesia for pain relief during labor, including 59% of those having a vaginal birth and three-fourths (76%) of those with a cesarean birth. Mothers receiving an epidural generally rated them as very helpful (78%) in relieving pain. However, from 26% to 41% of the women were unable to respond to several statements about potential drawbacks of epidurals.
Use of drug-free pain relief techniques. Mothers used a variety of "drug-free" methods for pain relief, most commonly breathing techniques (61%) and position changes (60%), but two infrequently cited techniques, immersion in a tub or pool (6%) and taking a shower (8%), were rated most helpful by their users.
Walking in labor. Once contractions were well-established, most mothers (71%) did not walk around, primarily because they were hooked up to instruments, could not walk because of pain medications, or were told by their caregivers not to walk around.
Eating and drinking during labor. Just one woman out of eight (12%) had anything to eat during labor, and one in three (31%) had anything to drink at this time. Far more women expressed an interest in drinking and/or eating, and many reported that their caregivers did not permit eating and/or drinking, even in the case of vaginal births.
Position in a vaginal birth. Three out of four (74%) women who give birth vaginally reported that they were on their backs while pushing their baby out and giving birth. The remainder were either in an upright position (23%) (such as propped up, squatting or sitting) or lying on their side (3%).
Method of vaginal birth. Almost two-thirds (64%) of mothers had an "unassisted" vaginal birth. Another 11% of mothers had a vaginal delivery that was "assisted" with either vacuum extraction or forceps.
Cesarean delivery. Almost one fourth (24%) of mothers had a cesarean delivery. About half (51%) of these were planned, predominantly among women with a previous cesarean delivery.
Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Of women with a previous cesarean, about one in four (26%) had a vaginal birth. About two-in-five (42%) women with a previous repeat cesarean were denied the option of a VBAC, with that figure increasing to 58% for mothers who had given birth most recently, during the year before the survey. Medical concerns (unrelated to the uterine scar) and caregiver unwillingness were the leading reasons for denial of a VBAC. A smaller proportion reported hospital unwillingness.
Major Survey Findings: After the Baby is BornBaby's location after birth. In the first hour after birth, most babies were either in their mother's arms (40%) or her partner's arms (13%). Of those babies with hospital staff, most were there for routine care (69%) and the rest for some type of special care (30%). During the hospital stay, most mothers (56%) said they had the baby with them all the time ("rooming in").
Breastfeeding. About three in five mothers (59%) were exclusively breastfeeding at one week. This was slightly fewer than the two-thirds (67%) who had intended to breastfeed exclusively at the end of their pregnancy. Most said that the hospital staff had encouraged their breastfeeding, though even among those intending to exclusively breastfeed, 80% were given free formula samples or offers, and 47% of their babies were given water or formula to supplement their breast milk.
Feelings about care during labor and birth. Most mothers felt quite positive about their birthing experience, noting that they generally understood what was happening (95%), felt comfortable asking questions (93%), got the attention they needed (91%), and felt they were as involved as much as they wanted to be in making decisions (89%).
Treatment by caregivers. Mothers generally felt their doctor or midwife had been "polite" (93%), "supportive" (89%) and "understanding" (87%). The most common concern was that their doctors or midwives seemed "rushed" (16%). Assessments of nursing care were similar.
Descriptions of labor and birth experiences. Mothers' descriptions of how they felt during labor and birth ranged widely with most feeling "alert" (82%) and "capable" (77%), but many also said they felt "overwhelmed" (48%) and "weak" (41%). Experienced mothers were much more likely to express positive feelings about their birth experience than first-time mothers.
Cesarean birth and postpartum health. Among women who had a cesarean, pain in the area of the incision was the most commonly identified health problem (83%) in the first two months after birth; 25% of these mothers cited this as a major problem, and another 58% cited it as a minor problem. For about 7% of mothers with a cesarean, this problem persisted at least 6 months after birth.
General postpartum health. Among all mothers, the most commonly cited postpartum problems were physical exhaustion (76%), sore nipples/breasts (74%), lack of sexual desire (59%), backache (51%), or painful perineum (44%). The problems most likely to persist for at least six months were lack of sexual desire (16%) and physical exhaustion (11%).
Emotional health after birth. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was administered to the survey participants, and 19% scored 13 or higher, indicating that they were probably experiencing some degree of depression in the week preceding the survey. Just 43% of this group had consulted a professional about their mental health since giving birth.
Competence as a mother. The overwhelming majority of respondents felt "very" (86%) or "somewhat" (12%) competent as a mother.
Feelings after birth. Mothers, presented with a list of words describing positive and negative feelings in the weeks and months after birth, had mixed feelings about this period. Most felt "tired" (93%), but "rewarded" (85%), "supported" (84%), "contented" (74%), and "confident" (73%). Although positive feelings predominated overall, at least one woman out of four selected each of the seven negative feelings offered in a list, including "unsure" (39%) and "isolated" (35%).
Major Survey Findings: Looking at Some Important Variations in ExperienceDifferences in vaginal and cesarean birth experiences. Compared to women who gave birth vaginally, those with cesareans were less likely to "room-in" with their babies and be breastfeeding at one week, and more likely to experience several health concerns after the birth, including abdominal pain, bladder and bowel difficulties, headaches, or backaches.
Differences between first-time and experienced mothers. Compared to first-time mothers, experienced mothers were less likely to: attend childbirth education classes, use pain medications and various other labor interventions, report negative feelings during labor, have a physician as birth attendant, or give birth by cesarean. Experienced mothers also reported feeling more confident as parents, despite being as likely to report feeling "fatigued" and "disorganized" as first time mothers.
Mothers' reliance on personal experience. Mothers who had given birth before relied primarily on their own experience as an information source on labor pain relief, while first-time mothers relied on a mix of sources, most frequently childbirth classes, their prenatal caregiver, and friends and family members.
Major Survey Findings: Attitudes about Birth and Understanding of Maternity RightsAttitudes toward cesareans. When asked a hypothetical question about choosing a cesarean in the future, even if there were no medical reason, by a margin of more than 5 to 1 (83% to 16%) women preferred a vaginal birth. Women who had recently had a vaginal birth were much less likely to prefer a future cesarean (93% to 6%), while those who had most recently had a cesarean were evenly split.
Attitude toward medical interventions in birth. A plurality of women (45%) agreed that "giving birth is a natural process that should not be interfered with unless absolutely medically necessary," while 31% disagreed with that statement and the remainder (24%) were undecided.
Maternity rights. About one woman in three either had a limited understanding or none at all about her legal right to clear and full information about any offered procedure, test, or drug, and her right to accept or refuse such care. Over one in three reported that she would have liked to have known more about this and other legal rights when receiving maternity care. Learn more about the rights of childbearing women.

Participant 2012
"I strongly recommend Matt Neuberger and Neuberger and Associates for any training program. We started the first ever sales training effort leveraging Matt's firm and the scores for all of this training sessions are still the benchmark for success here at PMMI. He averages a 9 out of 10 for his events, where other PMMI events score in the 7-8 range. During the two years I oversaw the program, we put about 100 members through the program via a regular series of small working group sessions across the country in major member company markets. All of them "sold out" at about the 15 person level, which is a good level for the hands on aspect of training.
We also used Matt as a key note speaker for both our Annual Meeting and a special "Prepare for PACK EXPO" exhibitor training session and, finally, we are currently using him for a series of webinars. The economy has impacted our participation rates, but his evaluation scores remain the highest we have ever seen. Personally, he is a professional and is extremely collaborative in terms of content deliver and marketing. We've appreciated his efforts and I would highly recommend him in just about any training situation."

We are using the latest version of Zimbra with a number of various Macs on various versions of Mac OS X. For the client software, we are using Apple Mail, set to read mail from Zimbra using IMAP.
Half of our users are having great success. Half are having issues with Apple Mail getting "stuck" while synchronizing mail with the server, and no new mail can be read or sent when this is happening (rendering the client software useless). Force quitting the Mail.app program and restarting it resolves the issue every time, but only for about 24 hours, when it happens again.
We run a large variety of desktops and laptops, running everything from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. There seems to be no rhyme or reason or pattern to the users that are having issues, except that they are the heaviest users of mail (ie, most number of messages stored on server). However, the issue is not always user focused, sometimes it is machine specific. That is, a user can login from Desktop machine and get all mail, but the problem occurs when the login via their Laptop - all on a repeatable basis [its not random].
If the users logs into Mail via webclient, all emails, files, and folders seem to be there, so it seems to point to an issue between Apple Mail and Zimbra, but that doesn't explain why only half my users are having problems.
I would like to find out if anyone else is having similar issues (or resolutions) to users in similar situations.

Car Painting: How to Paint a CarWritten by John McGann on April 16, 2012
There's a reason people refer to the body shop as "paint jail." Car painting is a huge undertaking. In this line of work, we meet and interview hundreds of people about their cars every year, and the majority of them describe the paint job as the most problematic part of the build. We've heard so many horror stories of botched paintjobs, con-artist painters, chicken-wire repairs, and Rip Van Winkle timelines that we could write several seasons of an autobody-based reality TV show.
Don't get us wrong, there are a lot of great body shops employing highly skilled and truly gifted bodymen and painters, but car painting is hard, physically demanding and labor-intensive. Car painting is also time sensitive. Part of the job is literally waiting for paint to dry. And if it's not paint, it's primer, sealer, Bondo, and a variety of coatings and metal treatments that require you to wait as they dry, cure, treat, convert, or whatever other voodoo they do. Strictly looking at the man-hours involved, a painting a car is an expensive proposition. On top of that are all the expensive tools, car painting supplies, and chemicals you need to do the job, from the sandpaper to the topcoat.
Yeah, you can paint a car for less than $1,000, but only if the car you're painting is in good shape to begin with. If not, skimping on some aspect of the job will show, and everyone will be able to tell. You don't need to know a thing about cars to spot a crappy paintjob or wavy quarter-panel from across the parking lot.
Bodywork and paint take time, practice, and a lot of patience. A good paintjob takes less than an hour to spray, but it takes dozens of hours of prep and finessing to get the car ready for it. We don't mean to discourage anyone. Autobody work is something most mechanically inclined people can learn and become quite proficient at. And in doing so, you stand to save yourself a lot of money. Plus, you get the satisfaction that comes from being able to say, "Yup, I did it myself."
How to paint a car: Paint Removal
Echoing what Editor Glad said in his column on page 6, this car can be considered the son of El Guapo, our LS-swapped, minty-green primer project car from a couple of years ago. That car had a number of problems that we just didn't have time to address in the midst of budget cuts and office moves. We grabbed the best parts of that car and saved them for this--El Guapo Jr.--which came to us with its own set of problems, but ones that were more manageable, and this article will address a whole bunch of them.
The car represents your typical '60s-era, swap-meet muscle car. It looked good when we bought it, but we later discovered it needed a little more help than anticipated. Hyperbole aside, this car really was purchased at the Pomona Swap Meet for $2,000. It was just a shell, but the seller had just finished replacing the floor, cleaning up the frame, and rebuilding the suspension before he ran out of cash and decided to sell. And it's here that we begin our tale.
How to paint a car: Metalwork
"You call it rust, I call it cancer." Words of wisdom spoken by my neighbor. Though his sobriety is often questionable, he is correct on this subject. Rust starts out small but spreads a path of destruction that can encompass entire panels. It is also difficult to treat. Chemicals can work to treat smaller outbreaks, but more serious cases often require the infected sections of sheetmetal to be removed and replaced.
How to paint a car: Applying Paint
Though most of the rust holes have been fixed and the dents have been straightened, the car isn't ready for paint yet. It still needs primer, block-sanding, and possibly a little more hammer-and-dolly work to get the panels smooth and all the body lines arrow sharp. We decided to first spray the car with a single coat of primer, immediately followed by two coats of a product called Slick Sand (sometimes referred to as a spray-on Bondo), a high-build, high-solids filler primer.

Right off the bat, we must apologize for not having a real "before" picture of the car. We began working on it before it was an actual assignment. In summary, the car still wore its original lacquer paint, which was badly faded and cracked. All the sheetmetal was intact, and there were only a couple of spots of visible rust on the exterior: one on the hood and one in the bed on the driver-side inner wheel house.Be suspicious of cars with rust in an area where there are no signs of external damage. The rust had to start somewhere, right? So if it didn't start on the outside (in a dent or scratch in the paint), then it came through from the back. And if it was bad enough to rust all the way through 18-gauge steel (roughly 1⁄8 inch), there's a lot more hiding back there. Rust damage doesn't need to be a deal breaker when you're deciding whether to buy a car, but be aware of what you're getting into before committing. See the Metal Work section later in this article on how to deal with rust without spending a mad, crazy fortune.Though we don't have personal experience to back up our claim, we recommend removing lacquer paint rather than trying to paint over it. The chemical makeup of the paint available today may not be compatible with the lacquer paint used in some cars through the mid '80s. All your efforts will be for naught if your fresh coat of new urethane starts to bubble up after a few days of mingling with the 50-year-old lacquer paintjob underneath it. It's messy and annoying work, but the lacquer has to go.If you can afford it, send the car to a blaster to be stripped. We don't have that kind of money to spend, though, and we're guessing many of our readers don't either. So if you're one of the 99 percent, you'll have to Occupy Your Garage and strip the paint yourself. You have a couple of options: mechanical and chemical stripping. We did both but started with the chemical method, using Aircraft Stripper, which you can buy anywhere (Lowes, Home Depot, or online).Here's a big downside of chemical stripper: Tight curves are hard to reach with a scraper, and you're left with a sticky, half-painted mess that you have to sand to get rid of.Astute readers are now probably thinking, Well, if I have to sand the car after using chemical stripper, why don't I just sand the car right from the start? Great minds think alike, and we did exactly that after getting sick of sniffing Aircraft Stripper for several days in a row. We stuck a piece of 36-grit sandpaper to our Makita rotary polisher and attacked a section of the car.Not too happy with the results from grinding, we paid a visit to our local big-box home improvement store in search of a better option. That came in the form of a 60-grit flap disc, which is better because it doesn't generate as much heat, though it does eventually clog, just not as quickly as the sandpaper.This method is a little quicker than using chemical stripper, but it leaves your garage (or warehome) full of paint dust. It also gouges the metal underneath the paint (as shown in this picture). Avoid doing this. Gouges in your car's sheetmetal can show through the paint unless you spray on a lot of filler primer and block-sand all the imperfections away. Bigger scratches and gouges may even need to be filled with Bondo.The better solution is to use this combination of products: 3M's bristle disc and paint stripper kit, both available from The Eastwood Co. The black stripper disc works great, removing large swaths of paint in seconds. Its fibrous, sinewy composition resists clogging, and it doesn't wear out very fast. Eastwood sells it with a pliable, foam backing plate that attaches to an angle grinder.
Grinding the paint has another downside: It's expensive. When subjected to 36-grit paper on a grinder, the paint gets hot, turns gummy, and clogs the sandpaper, rendering it useless. You'll burn through a lot of sandpaper and a lot of cash this way, as the more aggressive the sandpaper, the more expensive it is. A gallon of Aircraft Stripper costs about $15, easily one-third the cost of the number of 36-grit discs needed to strip the paint from our El Camino.The stripper disc cuts like 80-grit sandpaper, but the overall effect is far better. It chews through paint and primer fast, without overheating the metal underneath. Following this with the Scotch-Brite pad, which works like 150-grit paper, will result in a mirror-like finish to the base metal. Be warned: You'll be tempted to leave your car this way.The bristle disc removes paint even faster than the stripper pad, and its smaller diameter enables it to better reach tighter spots. If you can't afford to have your car blasted or dipped, we highly recommend using these products to strip your car. Buy two of everything—that should be enough to strip an entire car this size.Here's our subject in shiny, bare steel. Yup—it looks good here, but as Mom always said, beauty is only skin deep.Yuck. Buried on the backside of this Elco's sheetmetal was way more rust than we expected to see. Yeah, Midwesterners, we know this is nothing compared with the road-salt rot you have to deal with, but this was always a California car. It looks like it was dipped in the ocean and sealed in a sweaty plastic bag for the last two decades. Any surface not covered with paint is covered with rust.The easiest way to get rid of rust is to grind it off. Some of it disappeared when we sanded the paint off the car. Minor surface rust can be easily ground off with sandpaper or even a Scotch-Brite pad on an orbital sander. The owner of the car didn't have heaps of money to spend on panel replacement, and he asked us to do our best to halt the rust's progress, so we threw everything we had at it.Deeper surface rust calls for more aggressive treatment. Here, we're using a 60-grit flap disc on a rotary buffer to dig out a more firmly entrenched section of surface rust. Remember that whenever you're shooting sparks, you're removing metal, and that will likely leave low spots in the surface of the panel that you may need to fill later. Also, aggressive grinding drastically increases the likelihood that you will warp the panel you're working on because of the intense heat generated by the friction between the grinder and the metal. If you are going after deeper rust, at the very least use a flap disc and stop periodically to let the panel cool.A little body filler in a gouged fender is an easy repair relative to treating the rust damage found elsewhere on the car. While sanding off the remaining paint and primer, we discovered several spots where the body had rusted from the inside out.These appeared as pinholes or shadows on the exterior, that, when probed with a pick or screwdriver tip, opened up to larger holes in the body. This is a section of the roof Swiss-cheesed by rust from the inside. The ideal repair is to replace the panel. You don't need to be a genius to conclude that a rust-through such as this is not an isolated event, and that it's only a matter of time before the whole panel disintegrates.
If panel replacement is not financially feasible, or if the job is too daunting, treating the rust is the next best option. For good measure, we sprayed the entire car with Eastwood's Fast Etch, a rust-converting chemical solution.Fast Etch chews up the rust and turns it into this dark-colored stuff you can clean up and paint over. Although it will not stop the rust from spreading, this and similar rust treatments will slow the spread considerably.Don't let Fast Etch air-dry on the car. We sprayed several large sections of the El Camino with it and let it sit overnight. When it dries, Fast Etch leaves a tacky coating behind that is hard to wipe off. We checked with the guys at Eastwood, and they confirmed that we messed up. To use the product the right way, spray it on and keep the treated surface wet for at least half an hour. Then wipe the residue away with a solvent like Eastwood's PRE. If Fast Etch does dry, you can reactivate it by spraying more on, letting it soak, and then wiping it with solvent.In the chemical treatment process, we used up the quart of Fast Etch before finishing the car. There wasn't time to order more, so we picked up a gallon of CLR on another trip to our local big box store. We'd heard rumors that it kills rust and figured we should give it a try.Learning from the mistake we made with Fast Etch, we followed the instructions on the CLR bottle to the letter. They say to rinse treated surfaces with cold water within two minutes of application, and that's what we did. Unfortunately, they didn't have autobody work in mind, because the car instantly flash-rusted after being rinsed with water, and we had to reapply the CLR to remove it. Can you sense our frustration? This time, we worked panel by panel, wiping the second coating of CLR with lacquer thinner before it had a chance to dry.These products theoretically neutralize the rust by chemically altering it to a zinc-based compound. It essentially seals any remaining rust from coming into contact with the air. If oxygen can't get to it, the rust can't spread.Though there were several pinhole rust spots throughout the body, one section of the roof was bad enough that we decided to cut it out and replace it with new metal. After cutting the section, we traced the shape onto a piece of 18-gauge steel we bought as a remnant from our local metal supply shop.We cut the shape out with Eastwood's throatless shear. It chomps right through 18-gauge steel with minimal distortion.We used files to final-fit the patch panel to the shape of the opening, held it in place with a couple of magnets, and welded it in with our Miller Diversion 165 TIG welder, as it is easier to control heat with a TIG machine. You can use a MIG welder to do this repair, but you may end up burning through the surrounding metal that is made thinner and weaker by the underlying rust.
Here is what a few of the filled areas looked like after grinding. Each one will need a little body filler to hide all the low spots.The weld isn't pretty, but it will clean up after some grinding. Following this with a coat of filler will make this a passable repair. We're not entirely happy with it, but the only alternative is to replace the roof.Here is what a few of the filled areas looked like after grinding. Each one will need a little body filler to hide all the low spots.Here is what a few of the filled areas looked like after grinding. Each one will need a little body filler to hide all the low spots.We welded the remaining pinhole rust spots closed using our TIG welder and quite a bit of ER70S2 filler wire. This is a better option for areas like this fender opening. We weren't sure if we had the skills to make a patch panel out of flat sheetmetal that would match the compound curves of this area of the quarter-panel.In addition to the myriad of rust holes to fix, the car was riddled with dents and dings. While all minor stuff, every panel of the car had some crease on it somewhere. We used a hammer and dolly to fix such problems on parts like the fenders and hood that offered unobstructed rear access.We've covered this technique in previous articles, but as a reminder, work out the damage in reverse order to how it was formed.Hammer the peak, or high part, of the damaged area while pushing on the low part of the dent from the backside with a dolly.
We couldn't reach the backside of the quarter-panel, so we used a stud welder dent-pulling tool we bought from Harbor Freight for about $100.You can also use the slide hammer as a pulling tool, pulling on the low spot of a dent while hammering the high spot with a slapper or body hammer.Using a pair of Vise-Grip pliers, twist the head of the pins to remove them from the body of the car. You may have to grind some remaining bits if they don't pull off cleanly.One last repair we made was fixing some stretched sections of the quarter-panels where a previous owner had likely attached a camper shell to the bed of this car with sheetmetal screws.Using a No. 0 tip on our acetylene torch, we heated the area of the screw hole to a cherry-red color.While the steel was still red, we tapped the area a couple of times with a body hammer using moderate pressure. We then quenched the area with compressed air to further shrink the steel. We had to repeat this process a couple of times to get these stretched-out areas to be flush, or slightly below the level of the quarter-panel.After all the welding was done, we finished this part of the job by sealing our rusty sheetmetal with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator, which forms an airtight and moisture-resistant barrier over the repair area. This should prevent any spreading of the rust trapped underneath, which needs oxygen to continue to spread.Bare steel needs to be coated with either an etching primer or a direct-to-metal urethane or epoxy primer. We chose Eastwood's 4:1 urethane primer. When 4:1 is mixed with activator, it can be used as a high-build filler primer. But you can also thin it by mixing it with a reducer and using it as a primer/sealer. We chose the latter and sprayed the whole car with one coat using our DeVilbiss Starting Line spray gun fitted with a 1.8 fluid tip.
After waiting the appropriate flash time, we sprayed two wet coats of Evercoat's Slick Sand with the same spray gun and 1.8 fluid tip. A bigger fluid tip would have been better, though, because the product came out of the gun a little grainy. According to the instructions on the can, Slick Sand needs to dry for three hours before sanding. In our case, it was still tacky after four hours, but that may be due to temperatures in the low 50s F at the time we applied it.Though primer isn't as glossy as paint, there is enough shine for you to look down the length of the car to see any areas that need additional work. Several of the low spots may even out when we block-sand the car, and that's exactly why we chose to cover the car in Slick Sand. Knowing we were going to have to block-sand the car anyway, it made sense to cover the car with a super-high build primer. This eliminated the step of having to apply filler to several small areas of the car. Eastwood sent us a gallon can, and that was enough for the whole car.We sanded the car with 180-grit paper on long sanding blocks, then followed up with 400. Any remaining low spots were filled individually with Evercoat's metal glaze.Be sure to spray any filler you've added at this point with a coat of primer. Body filler and metal glaze are porous, and if you just paint over it, it will suck the paint in, leaving shallow but perceptible craters in your glossy topcoat. If there are only a few areas of filler, you can coat them with an aerosol primer. After blocking the El Camino and filling the remaining low spots, we sprayed the entire car with another coat of Eastwood's urethane primer. Priming the car one more time prior to topcoating it is also a good idea because the car is all one color prior to painting. Sometimes, a patchwork of primers can show through paint as slight shadows or light spots. That's the last thing you want after all this work.

Ned Yost media session: August 12
D.L. Update
Luke Hochevar, Robinson Tejeda, and Gil Meche are all chomping at the bit to get back on the field. Yost said Meche threw very well today and has looked good in his last couple outings.
The Young Guns
According to Yost, the Royals lost veterans on purpose in order to take a look at younger players. Yost said it takes time for new guys to get in a groove, but you just have to let them play and go through it. He added that they are all in the big leagues for a reason–because they have all had success.
Hawaiian Hitter
Yost also discussed Kila Ka'aihue's numbers at the plate. Ka'aihue enters tonight's contest hitting .103, but Yost says he looks for good at-bats and execution, not at averages.

they said that their sample VIN#'s in their system all started with "MB" and mine starts with "ME". they thought it may be a misprint. I looked at the other Enfields at my dealer (Union Cycle, in North Carolina) and all of the 2009 UCE's start with ME. The older Enfields they had in the showroom did start with "MB".
If you don't mind me asking, which insurance company did you use?
Wow. I'm stunned- you both lost (one way or another) two of the all-time great motorcycles. The hawk and the 700s were both -well, I shouldn't rub it in. Good luck with the insurance. A person can't even title a vehicle without insurance here. Wht does your dealer say?

Last year each drainage was broken into separate sub-districts with one or two tags for each drainage. Mine was for Kootenai Creek on the north side of St. Mary's peak across from Stevensville. I started scouting in July when the snow melt allowed. From then until the end of November I saw one goat the whole time in that drainage. I made it back clear to the Kootenai Lakes twice and never saw a goat on either trip. One trip was snowed and rained out. It's 13 miles to the Kootenai Lakes, and about another mile as a crow flies to the Idaho border and the end of that drainage.
I'd be more than happy to talk with you on the phone or PM's and tell you what I know in more depth. Bitterroot Bulls knows the valley pretty good, and he might be able to give you some tips also. As you can tell by the change on the regulations this year and the huge reduction in tags, the herds must have taken a hit with winter and disease. 542-5500 will get you FWP in Missoula and they can advise you of the biologists name for the district. I forget it right now. He also can give you some pointers. Check the results from last year and see who was successful by going down to FWP and checking. You might be able to get names of some lucky ones to contact.
I'd be more than willing to share every bit of knowledge I have from Kootenai Creek and mistakes and things I might have done differently to help you be successful in your season.

Staff Report
Published Nov. 12, 2012
The Boeing Co. has increased its 787 production rate to five total planes per month at its factories in Everett, Wash., and North Charleston, the company announced today.
Last week, the company rolled out the first Dreamliner to be built at that new rate from its Everett final assembly facility.
Boeing doesn't break down the rate by final assembly lines, said Scott Lefeber, a spokesman for the company; it only provides the total program rate.
Last week's Dreamliner is the 83rd to be built, and Boeing South Carolina has produced five of those 787s.
The aerospace giant was producing 2.5 airplanes per month earlier this year.
"This accomplishment, doubling our production rate in one year, is the result of the combined efforts of thousands of men and women across Boeing and at our partners," said Larry Loftis, vice president and general manager of the 787 program. "The entire 787 team is focused on meeting our commitments. They've gotten even smarter in how they build this airplane and applied real ingenuity in making our processes and tools more efficient."
The company has delivered 35 Dreamliners, including one from North Charleston, to eight airlines across the world. The program still has more than 800 orders for the airplane. Boeing plans to produce 10 Dreamliners per month by late 2013, and 3.5 of those airplanes will be built in North Charleston.

Does this have enough room for an i phone 4S ( 2.5 * 4.75) and a room key and a little cash or credit card, do the dimensions run true for interior space? Is it truly waterproof? I am looking for something for snorkeling.
i see from the reviews, some people are using this wallet scuba diving. is it truly waterproof if so what depth? we shore dive a lot, a depths of 100 and i dont like hiding my wallet in the truck.
Good morning, I personally use this to keep my car keys on me for beach dives. I wouldn't use this if your going past 40' so you don't crush you key transmitter. If your going deep you should use a dry box. check out the link bellow. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-90/030131/Innovative-Waterproof-Dry-Box-1000.html
IS this waterproof for beach and snorkeling to put in phone..guarantees water doesnt come in and destroy wallet phones,etc? thanks.
Hello Yen, yes this is a waterproof case. But if the sealing o-ring is pinch or has any type of dirt or sand on it. Then it will not seal right and could leak on you. So you will have to inspect the o-ring before you close it to make sure it will seal correctly.
Will this belt pack hold an i-phone 5 (2.5+" wide * 5" tall * 1/2" deep), a passport, some cash, some credit cards, and a room key? Also does it come in different colors and, if so, what are they? Thanks.
Thank you for your response. A further question: What is the waist size on the waterproof wallet belt pack?

Young Racers Club June 2008 - Cody SwansonWritten on June 1, 2008 Between 16 and 23 Years Old And Like To Race? Then Join the Young Racers Club
Sponsored This Month By:Safe-Quip * 800/247-4260www.Safe-Quip.comDedicated To Supporting Youth In RacingThis Month's Lucky YRC Winner Receives A $250 SAFE-QUIP Gift Certifi Cate.Cody Swanson, Norco, CaliforniaSeventeen-year-old Cody Swanson hails from Norco, California, and is this month's Young Racers Club winner. Cody's family has been involved in many forms of racing, dating back to when his grandfather raced the local dirt tracks of Minnesota as a youngster. So there was no doubt this California kid would someday end up behind the wheel of a race car.
It all started with go-karts where, up until the end of the '06 racing season, Cody raced in the International Karting Federations Region 7. He placed a solid Fifth in the '06 IKF Grand Nationals in his fi rst attempt racing in the HPV 3 class. Later that same year, he won the California state championship race in the Yamaha F200 class driving for the BURRIS racing team.
Last year brought a new challenge, as Cody was invited to race a Legends car for the Speed Wong racing team at Irwindale Speedway. In his debut race at Irwindale, he fi nished Sixth. Not too shabby when you consider it was his fi rst-ever start on an oval. His best fi nish in the 14 event season was a Fourth. "I let a couple of wins slip through my fi ngers," admitted Swanson, "but I'm confi dent that with what I've learned and the awesome Speed Wong team behind me, we'll be taking our share of wins in 2008."
Despite not winning a race, Swanson's solid performance earned him '07 Rookie of the Year honors. He also was the highest fi nishing Semipro driver in 10 of the 14 events. Since Irwindale does not separate the Semipro, Pro, and Master divisions, 600 Racing counted each of Cody's top fi nishes as a Semipro win and promoted him to the Pro division for 2008!
Like many YRC winners, Cody's racing goals have him competing in NASCAR someday. However, Cody may just be the fi rst YRC winner who says he'd love to race in the Grand Am and ALMS series as well.
As June's YRC winner Cody walks away with a $250 gift certifi cate from SafeQuip. No doubt that extra safety equipment will come in handy as Cody climbs the ladder toward racing greatness.

Hey everyone – We often get questions about our decision to advertise in the security bins at airports. I wanted to give you a little more info on the program. By sponsoring the security bins, we absorb the cost that TSA would normally have to spend buying tables, bins, maintenance, etc. (not their primary function or responsibility). Since the airports that have the sponsored security bins don't have to put the money/time/energy into those efforts anymore, TSA can spend the money hiring/training more agents. And, due to the better training and additional resources, airports that have sponsors for their security bins have seen an average of a 16% improvement in wait time in getting through the lines. I'm not sure how much you travel, but that seems like a pretty good deal to me!
There are a number of advertising opportunities at airports (billboards, bin trays, free wifi, etc.) of which we've participated in. There could conceivably be a day when TSA is no longer required at airports, and we'd still be advertising in airports (including bins). Right now, we have no control over the government requiring TSA to be at all airports. For this effort, we contract with a media placement company (Security Point Media) who then contracts with the actual airports (not TSA). Thank you for your continued interest.

UPDATED 7.16.2012 by Julie Montanaro
A man who was once caught on tape on the popular TV segment "To Catch a Predator" is now headed to prison.
Charles Green was sentenced to ten years in prison in a Tallahassee courtroom last week after pleading no contest to three counts of computer solicitation of a minor.
Green was arrested in an on line sting in June 2011.
Tallahassee police investigators say he was chatting with an undercover officer posing as a young girl and he was planning to travel to Tallahassee to have sex with her.
Green was on probation at the time for a similar crime in Flagler County, Florida. In that case, Green showed up in his red Cobra and was greeted by TV cameras and an arrest team.
UPDATED 6.28.2011 by Julie Montanaro
A spokeswoman with the 7th circuit state attorney's office confirms that Charles Green was on probation for another crime against children when he was arrested this time.
Shannon Peters confirms that Green's arrest was featured on NBC's "To Catch a Predator" back in 2006.
Peters says Green was arrested in Flagler County in December 2006 and charged with attempted lewd and lascivious battery, computer pornography and child exploitation. Peters says he entered a plea to those charges and was sentenced to 10 years of sex offender probation.
Peters says prosecutors in Flagler County are now working to have his probation violated there. Green could be ordered to serve the remainder of his ten year sentence in prison, Peters said.
That would be in addition to any consequences of the new charges.
Tallahassee, Florida TPD PRESS RELEASE
In May 2011, The Tallahassee Police Department began an undercover investigation targeting Internet predators who solicit minors for sex. Using an online chat program, Charles Green contacted an undercover investigator posing as a minor. During the two month investigation, Green solicited the "minor" for sex on several occasions and planned to meet in Tallahassee.
On June 27, 2011, TPD partnered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and executed a search warrant at Green's residence in Florahome, FL.
Green's computer and other electronic storage devices were seized as evidence. Green is currently on high risk sex offender probation. He was previously arrested in 2006 during an investigative operation for traveling to meet a minor for sex.

I'm looking forward to migrate an Exchange 5.5 installation to ZCS.
My main regard is that the exchange has 11k+ mailboxes, all of them configured with an "Alternate Recipient" and "Deliver messages to both recipient and Alternate recipient" checkbox enabled.
This way, whenever an email arrives to any mailbox, the email is forwarded (and a copy stored in the original mailbox) to a distribution list (there are 7k+ DLs configured).
So, with these said, if I run the Zimbra migration tool, to migrate all the mailboxes & DLs, will this configuration remain in the new Zimbra server? Manually adding forwarding rules for 11k mailboxes is clearly not an option.
Thanks for your support.

Logistics business news: Latest Commerce report reflects uncertainty in U.S. manufacturing sector
October 05, 2010
After growing faster than the overall economy during the first year of the recovery, manufacturing has clearly downshifted into low gear, noted spokesmen for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
According to the latest U.S. Department of Commerce report, new orders for manufactured goods edged down 0.5 percent in August.
"Today's report marks the second decline in factory orders in the past three months," said NAM. "Much of the overall August decline was due to a 40.2 percent plunge in volatile non-defense aircraft orders, which tend to fluctuate from month-to-month."
Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva, an online search engine with detailed information on global suppliers and manufacturers, told LM that "the jobless recovery" is partly to blame.
"While we feel that the manufacturing sector is on a positive trajectory, it's hard to explain that to people out of work," he said.
Orders in the rest of manufacturing actually rose 0.4 percent in August, due chiefly to rebounds in machinery, computers and electronic products. But even with these increases, orders in these areas have slowed considerably from earlier in 2010, signaling that business investment will not likely continue to be the catalyst for economic growth as it was in the second quarter of the year.
Continued declines in new orders for construction materials and supplies and consumer goods show that housing and consumer spending have similarly weakened now that much of the temporary boost from several fiscal stimulus measures has ended.
According to NAM, the weak status of the labor market and increased uncertainty – stemming from possible federal tax and regulatory changes that are looming – will likely weigh down the recovery.

Video: Sherriff's Deputy, Woman Shot at Sterling Costco
Video: Shooting at Costco in Sterling, Va.
Video: 38 Year Old Woman Killed at Sterling, VA Costco
Video: Unanswered Questions About Deadly Costco Shooting
STERLING, Va. (WUSA9) -- Two people were shot at a Costco store in Loudoun County, Va., officials said on Wednesday afternoon.
A Costco food service employee, 38-year-old Mhai Scott of Sterling, Va., was reportedly wielding a knife and scissors and threatening employees at the store, officials said.
Police are reviewing the surveillance video of the incident, trying to figure out whether or not the deputies involved in the shooting had to shoot Scott during the chaos at Costco.
Witnesses called the police and they showed up when the employee became threatening with the knife to police, officials said in a news conference.
Renee Haber works at the Costco in Sterling. She said she saw Scott had a knife on her and was frightening her supervisor. She said the Scott was "just making strange comments about the pizza."
In a press release, sheriff's office authorities said deputies asked Scott several times to drop the weapons but she refused and advanced towards them.
One deputy used a TASER on the Scott, but that didn't really slow her down. That's when another deputy fired his gun at her, according to authorities.
Scott was killed as a result of the shooting, and another deputy was shot in the leg, Chapman said.
The deputy who was taken to the hospital and has since been released. Authorities say he is in good condition.
Another witness, Robert Krause, said, "I was at the front of the building. I saw some officers run into Costco and a few minutes later there were some gunshots, about 5 of them."
The woman killed was a contractor for Club Demonstration Services. The president of the company, Don Dohanyos, said in a statement:
"We are extremely saddened by the situation that occurred at the Costco warehouse in Sterling, VA earlier today. We are treating this with the utmost sensitivity, and are cooperating fully with the authorities as they gather more details on the events leading up to the shooting of our CDS associate. In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was affected by this event."
The Costco reopened on Thursday morning at its normal time, says a spokesperson.
If you witnessed the incident and have not been interviewed by a Sheriff's Office detective, you are asked to call 703-777-0475.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - A t-shirt being worn and sold at a Mexican restaurant is creating a bit of controversy.
The shirts are at Taco Cid. They say "How to Catch an Illegal Immigrant." Accompanying the words is a drawing of a box with a stick being held over two tacos--a makeshift trap.
A photo of a Taco Cid employee wearing one of the shirts started getting national attention over the weekend after it was tweeted by Corey Hutchins, a reporter at the Free Times.
After this story generated buzz on many social media sites, News19 went straight to the restaurant Tuesday and found out the owner is selling shirts.
While it may be obvious that West Columbia's Taco Cid is more Mexican restaurant than political epicenter, owner Leanne Snelgrove says the last twenty-four hours have been anything but a siesta.
"Not nationwide, No. I had a clue it would be a hit around town but not nationwide."
Snelgrove says she's received comments from praising the shirts to more extreme measures, "we've received death threat's, we've received bomb threats."
Snelgrove claims even her husband was fired by a company and replaced by illegal immigrants. News 19 reporter Nate Stewart asked Snelgrove, "What do you say to someone who see's the shirt and says, 'that's racist.'"
"That's your opinion," said Snelgrove. "If you support illegal immigrants then you support paying tax dollars for other people who just worked under the table. Let me tell you, small business owners - we pay taxes!"
We showed the shirt to Sandy Jones, a Pastor at a prominently Hispanic Church is the Midlands.
"I think it's very racist, I think it's a very racist comment," said Jones. "If that's not likely illegal immigrants to animals you can capture with a box I don't know what else."
Jones says she's offended by the shirt and wants the restaurant to stop selling it and to apologize.
"When national news is going to hear and think that everyone is South Carolina thinks like this, that hurts me personally. It makes me very sad," said Jones.
Snelgrove says she'll keep selling the shirts, even if she is surprised by all the attention.
"The taco business is booming," said Snelgrove. "Come see us."
On its website, Taco Cid has issued this statement about the shirt:
"Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group," it says in part. "As most tax paying Americans, we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are burdening the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay higher taxes to support the illegal activities, which our government has simply chosen to look the other way. Is it "racist" to disagree with those who are not supporting the American system?"
Leanne Snelgrove tells News19 they got the idea after going on a cruise to Key West and saw similar shirts. The shirts are selling for $35 and Snelgrove says she's been mailing them all over the world.
"It's not racist. It's immigrants - illegal Immigrants. It was just a t-shirt. Just a t-shirt," said Snelgrove.

text: I have been trying Zimbra desktop and webmail for a while and they are great but I have an eeepc so the low resolution of it's screen does cause a bit of an issue and I am sure other UMPC's will suffer in similar ways. I know the webmail and presumably the zdesktop is optomised for 1024x768 resolutions but with the new wave of small low cost pc's such as the eeepc could we not have just one theme compatible with the lower resolutions of 800x600 and 800x480? As if I could get the resolution sorted the zdesktop application + the eeepc (or other UMPC's) would make the ultimate PDA device.....

HD View Features
Recent advances in camera and sensor technology and software for stitching images together has led to the creation of images containing billions of pixels (gigapixels). These images are often panoramic, that is, they cover very wide fields of view. Since monitors typically contain only one to two million pixels, it is only possible to actually see 1/1000th of such image data at once. Also, viewing very wide fields of view require unwrapping of an image projected onto a curved surface (think of a map of the world) which can cause distortions. HD View takes advantage of current graphics hardware to allow smooth panning and zooming as well as the viewing transformation.
A detail of an HD View image.
HD View Features
- Allows smooth panning and zooming on large images.
- Downloads only enough data to create the current view (and possibly look ahead to the next).
- Always display the current field of view with an appropriate projection. This means that when zoomed way in you should be presented with a standard perspective projection providing a sense of immersion, and when zoomed out you experience a curved projection so that get a full overview of the scene. In between the projection should smoothly transition.

Circuit clerks have started issuing voter identification cards in Mississippi.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says Thursday that clerks in about 15 of the 82 counties have issued the cards.
Starting in the June 3 federal primaries, each Mississippi voter will have to show one of 10 specific forms of photo identification at the polls.
The first nine are: a driver's license; an ID issued by any branch of Mississippi state government; a U.S. passport; a government employee ID card; a gun license; a student ID from an accredited public or private college; a U.S. military ID; a tribal photo ID; or any other photo ID issued by any branch of the federal government.
Anyone lacking one of those may get a free photo ID at a circuit clerk's office.

ANGELA DELLI SANTI, Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Newark Mayor Cory Booker has ruled out a bid for New Jersey governor and is eyeing a run for U.S. Senate in 2014.
Booker's announcement Thursday on Twitter ended months of speculation over whether the Democratic Party's biggest draw would seek to challenge Gov. Chris Christie next year.
The Republican governor's approval rating reached an all-time high after Superstorm Sandy.
There's no word on whether Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg will retire.
Lautenberg is 88. Booker is 43.
His second term as mayor of the state's biggest city ends in mid-2014.

|Champion Mill, Lake transfer to Chase County ownership
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Monday, 08 July 2013 17:03
The ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area changed hands July 1. Nebraska Game & Parks Commission formally handed the area over to the Chase County Commissioners during a ceremony Monday. (Carolyn Lee | The Imperial Republican)
By Carolyn Lee
The Imperial Republican
It was a beautiful Monday morning and the crowd of about 35 people enjoyed the sunshine as ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area transferred from the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) to Chase County.
During a ceremony at the Mill, Kirk Nelson of NGPC's Parks Division said NGPC is in "a state of flux. We're looking for outside funding sources."
That's why this is the eighth transfer of ownership of a NGPC site to another government.
The Chase County Commissioners agreed to take ownership of the area. If it doesn't remain a public park, or if the financial load becomes too heavy, NGPC will step back in.
Of the ceremony, Nelson said, "This is a commemoration of our partnership. We wouldn't be anywhere without you."
State Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial, who introduced the legislative bill that transferred ownership, said he "commended Chase County and the community of Champion that's taken this project on. Champion locals always kept it up. That's a sign of what the community believes in. I hope you won't stop here."
Christensen suggested that features such as a bike trail would add to the attraction. "If you want this place to see more visitorship you have to do more things," he added.
Mark Spurgin of Paxton, a NGPC commissioner, said he loves history. He said historical parks, such as Champion "are difficult because people don't come back to visit. I commend the community to take this on because it takes a community to make something viable."
Chase County Commissioner Chuck Vette of Wauneta said "If I could pick one place to put something it would be Champion because the people are well rooted" and they're the ones to get things done.
Nelson said "We have to think of how to get people's interest in historical parks. We have to get young people out of doors. It's a good thing for them."
The commissioners have appointed a board to oversee the care of the mill and park. The board includes Charlie Beard, Burton Beard, Commissioner Don Weiss Jr., Dennis Spady and Don Welch.
Bill and Chris Eskew will be the caretakers for a year.
