Hot Rod DragsWritten by on May 27, 2004 The March Meet's Grassroots Class
In 1951, there wasn't much going on in the way of organized drag racing. When a club called the Smokers wanted to do a little side-by-side racing in their hot rods, they had to do it at an abandoned airstrip outside of Bakersfield, California. Within a few years the airstrip became a dragstrip, Famoso Raceway, and the annual late-winter showdown got a name: The March Meet. Lucky for the Smokers.
Lucky for us, too. Ten years ago, the Goodguys Vintage Drag Racing Association revived this historic event at its original site. Now, the March Meet is the largest nostalgia drag race in the world. The program features front-engine dragsters, nitro Funny Cars, and Gassers, but the largest class, by far, is Hot Rod Eliminator. This bracket class is open to pre-'73-bodied vehicles running dial-in elapsed times between 9.60 and 12.99 seconds, with no nitrous and no electronic race devices allowed. It's the closest thing to the hot rod racing of 50 years ago.
This year, roughly 150 racers showed up at Famoso to run in Hot Rod. For some of them, this is the gateway to the Gas classes. For many others, it's the perfect class for their budget, their car, and their skill level. Most of the cars in Hot Rod have fairly basic drivetrains; a mildly modified small-block Chevy with a three-speed automatic is a typical setup. Best of all, a lot of the rods competing in the class are street cars. In some cases, the transition from street to 'strip is as simple as swapping tires and marking a dial-in time on the windows. Since there is no qualifying for the class, all you have to do to make Sunday eliminations is not break anything on Friday or Saturday. Also, being a bracket class, even a slow car has a shot at winning. Cut and good light (on a .500 tree) and run your dial-in, and you're back for the next round.
Hot Rod racing usually doesn't dominate March Meet magazine coverage, but this is the class that fills the staging lanes with racers who love running at this cool historic track, and that packs the grandstands with fans who dig these real-world doorslammers as much as they love the Fuel and Gas cars.
The Goodguys Vintage Drag Racing Association series continues at the Nitro Nationals in Las Vegas at the end of April, the Pomona Nitro Nationals at the L.A. County Fairplex in June, and the Fuel & Gas Finals back in Bakersfield in November. If you've always wanted to run your rod on the 'strip, get out there and do it. If you want to see some great grassroots drag racing, go watch these hot rods race.

Mike Burgess' father first brought him to the March Meet 10 years ago, and it's still a family event for Mike. Now, in addition to his dad, his wife Julie and his three little daughters come along. The '56, with beautiful red and white pearl paint with ghost flames, has been in the family since 1990 and became Mike's when he turned 16. He's been racing it ever since and celebrated his 27th birthday at this Meet. The car is powered by a 454 big-block with a Turbo 400 and 4.30:1 gears in a Chevy 12-bolt rearend. Mike runs low 12s to avoid having to add a rollcage.
Mike's '56 is street driven all the time and took an award at Oakland in 1997. The secret to building a dual-purpose car, he says, is not to go overboard when building the engine. The big-block gives him lots of power and torque, but with 10:1 compression, he can run 91 octane on the street. By not running too radical of a cam, he doesn't have to worry about wearing out the valvetrain cruising around.
Many racers come to the March Meet from out of state every year. One is Jamie Ford, whose low-10-second T is as famous at Famoso as it is at Southern Oregon Speedway. Tetanus II was built four years ago using the front wheels, engine block, manifold, and transmission from the original Tetanus. The '26-27 coupe's 10-inch chop, shortened cowl, and roadster-style decklid gets lots of attention. The aluminum louvered lid keeps Jamie cool in the staging lanes, especially since the reclining position of the seat makes it tough to climb in and out. Despite its "extreme" appearance, the car is built with every safety consideration in mind.
A 13:1 350 small-block was stroked to 383. With a modified TH350 and 4.86:1 gears, the car goes through the lights at 6,800 rpm. When it comes to racing, Jamie says "I don't mind who I'm running; I usually race myself. It's like cruising. If you go out by yourself, it's fun. If you go out with other people, it's fun too. You enjoy the car." During the second round of eliminations, Jamie ran right on his dial-in, but his reaction time was too slow. See you next March.
When Eddie Kucker started building his '37 Ford in 1987, he was planning on a street rod but kept adding race parts, "just in case I want to race." After many "just in case" components, he nicknamed the car "Justin." Engine and trans is a 350/TH350 combo. The original frame is beefed up with a Mustang II frontend. It's also the original interior, but he says he's sitting in a hole. New seats are coming soon.
Eddie street-raced in his youth, but this is the first car he's raced at the 'strip. He likes nostalgia events, where he can race other hot rods. At home, he detunes the engine, changes the plugs and timing, swaps the 4.56 gears in the 9-inch for 3.25s, and cruises on the street. His advice to rodders getting into racing: start slow and make minor changes one at a time, so you can keep track of what works. He's dropped his e.t.'s from the 16s down to the mid-12s with simple changes like gears, manifold, and carb. "You can set up a motor and transmission like I've got on a street car and have fun without hurting your pocketbook."
In 1989, Harold Binsfeld bought this '55 Chevy 150 Handyman wagon as a daily-driver camper car, complete with swamp cooler and luggage rack. "We slightly modified it," he joked. The engine is still pretty simple--a 9:1 350, backed by a manually shifted TCI TH350. Adjustable ladder bars and rear coilovers with 90/10 Lakewood drag shocks in front help transfer weight to the rear tires. Harold's crew includes his wife Lisa (who used to race a '57 four-door wagon) and their 8-year-old daughter.
Harold likes the Hot Rod class because it's affordable and his Chevy can be competitive. He advises first-time racers to get a car that is not going to break and to race within their means. "Keep it within what you can do realistically, and just go out and have fun. Bring it on out and see what you can do. It's a blast."

At first, we thought John Myers' '50 Olds was a show car. This is his first drag car and runs a 427 Chevy big-block and TH400. His tires never really hooked up and kept him far from the 12-second e.t.'s he expected but couldn't keep him from having a ball. When we saw him in the grandstands, he was still smiling.Don Ashby went bracket racing on his 16th birthday and has now been at it for 35 years. He's driven this '55, with a dual-carbed 383 and TH400, for six years. It has gone 11.80 and sees regular duty on the street. In Bakersfield, "The Bee" lasted the longest of all the pre-musclecar entries in Hot Rod, making it into the semifinals on Sunday.After visiting the March Meet in 2001, Ted McCord has trailered his alcohol-fed '57 Fairlane to Famoso every year. The Ford was rescued from an Oklahoma strip pit in the '80s and built into a drag car for less than $10,000. With a Demon-carbureted 390 and C6 trans, the Ford ran its career-best 11.37 e.t. right before our eyes.This '37 Chevy pickup was built like a true hot rod--with parts and pieces left over from another project. Owner Marc Klose from Fallon, NV, has raced since his high school days in the mid-'60s, and gets out about twice a month. With a small-block, Powerglide, and 5.38:1 gears, the truck has run a best e.t. of 11.59 and came close to that with an 11.6 at Famoso.With a 454 under the hood, Carl Cole says his '55 will go faster, but he doesn't want to. He disconnects the secondaries on the single 4V carb in order to stay in the 12s. He drives the '55 around town when not racing. Once at Palmdale, he lost to a kid in a rental car, who turned out to be multi-time Super Stock champ Jimmy DeFrank.Goodguys '03 Hot Rod Class Winner Sandi Mendia received her trophy at the Thursday awards dinner, but her '35 Plymouth developed problems with the TH400 trans the next day and she spent the weekend spectating. She's been racing the 400ci Chevy-powered Plymouth for 12 years, drives it to work during the week, and aims to get into the 11s this year.Twenty years ago, Larry Wiggins, from Tehachapi, CA, traded a motorcycle for this '53 Chevy, which was the family car until four years ago, when he swapped in a 9-inch with 4.56 gears and a TH350 behind a 383 stroker motor and began racing it. His quickest e.t. is in the 12.20s. Larry's wife picked the flamed '53's color and its nickname: "Old Man's Mistress."Inspired by the old FX lightweights, Bill Pratt's '64 Galaxie 500 XL is all Ford, with a 427 and modified C6 trans. Hood, bumpers, and front fenders are 'glass, and Bill says it's a street-legal car. His best time is an 11.58. He loves to race, but not against other Fords: "I'd rather beat Chevys."
Dave Lawson bought this '56 wagon for $150 when he was in high school almost 40 years ago and rebuilt it 10 years ago with a 13.5:1 468 and TH400. Now he's building the '55 his father bought new. It'll be his tow vehicle. He went 10.15 at Famoso and is gunning for the 9s. He launches like this just about every time, but he doesn't usually redlight.Up at Infineon Raceway (Sear's Point), they get to see this 10-second wild Willys pull the front tires off the ground all the time. Pete Camerson has owned and raced the '39 (with a '41 nose) for a decade. The engine is an old '69 Chevy 427 with a single 450-cfm carb, tied to a TCI Powerglide transmission and Mopar 8 3/4-inch rearend.Rick Berry was displaying his chopped, full-fendered '29 A sedan at a car show in Pomona when a friend talked him into running it down the 'strip. Now it's a street-legal 12-second drag car (it has run 11.95, but without a rollbar, Rick keeps it in the 12s). Powertrain is a 391 Chevy with a 750 double-pumper, TH350 with a shift kit, and 4.56 gears.

1.UNEVEN EDGES: Pies and cakes should be cut neatly, in even wedges or slices. If not, the responsibility falls upon the person putting them away to "straighten up the edges" by consuming the offending irregularities, which, of course, have no calories.
2.BALANCED FOOD: Obviously, a diet soda and gingerbread cookie cancel each out.
3.HOT CHOCOLATE: Contains no calories on cold days - they float off in the steam.
4.FOOD FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES: Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts. This includes hot chocolate, Jim Beam, malted milk, toast and anything with Sara Lee on the box.
5.WHIPPED CREAM, SOUR CREAM, BUTTER: These all act as a poultice that actually draws out the calories when laced on food, leaving them calorie-free. Afterwards you can eat the poultice, too, as all calories are neutralized by it.
6.CHARITABLE FOODS: The calories in Girl Scout cookies, bake sale cakes, ice cream socials and church strawberry festivals all have a religious dispensation.
7.FOOD ON FOOT: Food eaten standing up has no calories. The reason is not clear to scientists, but current theory suggests a relation to gravity. The calories apparently bypass the stomach, flowing directly down the legs and through the soles of the feet onto the floor, like electricity. Walking appears to accelerate this process, so that a nog or ale consumed while caroling in your neighborhood actually has a calorie deficit.
8.FOOD SWIPED FROM SPOUSE'S PLATE: Please - that's a no-brainer.
9.FOOD WITH WRITING ON IT: Primarily fat, starch and sugar, all cakes are potentially fat on your hips. However, the calories can be eliminated simply by inscribing "Noel" or "Feliz Navidad" in colored icing. Not only is it unnecessary to decline, it's rude.
10.ANYTHING SMALLER THAN ONE INCH: Contains no calories to speak of. And we don't. This includes chocolate kisses, maraschino cherries, cubes of Gouda and all Godiva truffles.
Did you know that hanging lights on a Christmas tree is one of the three most stressful situations in an on-going relationship?
Page Six's Psychiatrist claims the other two danger zones are teaching your mate to drive and wallpapering. (He is rarely wrong on these things.)
We rush to print with an emergency prompt list of Things Not to Say When Hanging Lights on the Christmas Tree"
... "You've got two red lights right next to each other, dummy. You're supposed to go yellow, green, red, blue, not yellow, red, red, green, blue..."
... "Up a little higher. You can reach it. Go on, try."
... "What the heck do you do to these lights when you put them away every year? Tie them in knots?"
... "Come away from that aluminum ladder, kids. I'm going to fry that sucker."
... "If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all. Don't just throw them on, like you do the icicles. You're worse than your father."
... "Give me that."
... "You've got the whole thing on the tree upside-down. The electric pluggee thing should be down here at the bottom, not up at the top."
... "I don't care if you have found another two strings, I'm done, period!"
... "You've just wound 'em around and around -- I thought we agreed it shouldn't look like a spiral this year?"
... "Have you been drinking?"

An old man is sitting on his front porch watching the sunrise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm. "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
"Roll of chicken wire."
"What you gonna do with that?"
"Gonna catch some chickens."
"You darn fool! You can't catch chickens with chicken wire!"
The boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset, the boy comes walking by, dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it.
The next morning, the old man is out watching the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something in his hand. "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
"Roll of duct tape."
"What you gonna do with that?"
"Gonna catch me some ducks."
"You darn fool! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!"
The boy just laughs and keeps walking. That night around sunset the boy walks by, trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duct tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.
The next morning, the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like some sort of tool. ''Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
"It's a Monkey wrench."
"Wait up... I'll get my hat -- this I gotta see."

View Cruises that visit this port
Below is a list of those shore excursions previously offered in this port. For information on which shore excursions will be offered on a particular cruise, please reference the specific itinerary of that cruise.
Begin with a scenic drive through the downtown area of Rio Grande, past the heart of the city, where the majority of the most elegant and historical buildings are located. Established in 1737 by the Portuguese, Rio Grande is the only seaport of the Brazilian State and the most important trading center due to its strategic location.
Your first stop is a visit to Alfandega, the Customs House, a neo-classic style building built by the Emperor Dom Peter II in 1879. Stroll to the oldest Cathedral of the State, Cathedral Sao Pedro, constructed in Baroque style and erected by the Portuguese in 1775. Continue on to the Museum of Sacred Art at the Chapel of the St. Francisco, which holds several important pieces, some from the legacy left by the Jesuits and some from a private collection acquired by the Government.
Next, your guide will take you to the Praca Tamandare, where you will view several art sculptures. Then visit the Oceanographic Museum and view its collection of rare and unusual species of invertebrates, fish and mollusks. As you make your way back to the pier, view the Molhes da Barra, a rock and cement defense constructed at the beginning of the 20th century.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes of walking on mostly flat surfaces and is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist. Those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of ability and stamina and may make arrangements with the guide to not participate in some of the walking portions of the tour. Lightweight clothing and flat comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

If You're Planning to Go to Asia
Travel to Asia and the Middle East has become a requirement for many businesses. But while the infrastructure to support business aviation in those areas is improving, it still presents unique challenges for private jet travelers.
One of the biggest challenges is the time needed to prepare for the trip. Depending on the country, approval for landing permits might take anywhere from a few days to a few months. You can't simply schedule a business meeting in China, for example, and depart the next day. "Understand that you're not operating in your home territory," said Ted Glogovac, product manager for Jeppesen International Trip Planning Services. "Things won't always happen instantaneously."
A trip to Dubai, UAE, is one of the easier to plan, according to Nancy Pierce, technical sales and support manager at Jeppesen. "They want at least one working day [to approve a landing permit], and there are no special documents required," she said. Other countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, may require a wait of three or four days.
China, on the other hand, takes at least seven working days to approve a landing permit. "Two weeks would be optimum to plan a trip," Pierce said. China also requires passengers to obtain a local sponsor who coordinates flight details with local authorities. In some cases, not having the right sponsor--such as a high-level government official--can affect the official decision to permit a flight into the country. "Some locations are very hard to get into," said Orlando Cantu of Universal Weather and Aviation Flight Support Services. To fly into some airports in Tibet, for instance, "you need a strong contact, a special invitation."
India won't require you to have a local sponsor, but the approval process can take a month or longer. If you're flying into an Indian military base, such as Agra Airport, the closest airport to the Taj Mahal, prepare to wait 30 working days for a landing permit, according to Jeff Newberry, senior international planner for Jet Aviation. Some travelers opt instead to fly into New Delhi, a three-hour drive from the Taj Mahal. The lead time for New Delhi is seven working days. "General aviation aircraft wouldn't normally use a military base, but there are circumstances where the closest airport to the passenger's destination is a military airport," Newberry said.
Once a landing permit has been approved, try to keep schedule and passenger changes to a minimum, especially if you're flying into China. "China has rejected and denied some permits because of too many changes," Cantu explained. Pierce added that changes should always be submitted when the country's aviation authority offices are open. "Submitting a change at night or on weekends will slow the process," she said.
Local political situations might also pose challenges. With the exception of Egypt and Jordan, most countries in the Middle East will prohibit you from entering if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport. The countries will also prohibit your aircraft from landing if it has flown through Israeli airspace. "An airplane might have to amend its routing to avoid Israeli airspace," Pierce said, which means that your flight time might increase.
If a traveler does plan to fly from Israel to another country in the Middle East, the flight planner will have to schedule an extra stop, usually in Egypt or Jordan, said David deBang, senior international planner for Jet Aviation. A similar situation exists between China and Taiwan. "There are no direct flights allowed," deBang said. "If a passenger needs to fly between those countries, we would need to plan a stop in Hong Kong or some other country."
Although your aviation department or charter operator will handle landing-permit applications and flight routing, there are things you can do as a passenger to mitigate potential problems. Before departing, for example, make sure your passport is valid for at least six months, deBang advised. And make sure you have the right visas and have had the appropriate inoculations. Some countries require yellow-fever vaccinations at least 10 days before the trip, for instance. And Glogovac added: "Communication is a key. Let all the involved parties know the plan, and announce changes as soon as possible."
Most important, Cantu said is to know the security situation of the country you're visiting. "In China, for example, the situation is changing everyday because of civil unrest," he said. "You should always have a good security company to give you information about your destination country."

USPS begins union negotiations
September 14, 2010
The United States Postal Service kicked off negotiations with the National Rural Letter Carriers Association this week. The current contract for the NRLCA expires at midnight on November 20.
The NRLCA is comprised of 67,000 career employees and 48,000 non-career employees; these employees deliver mail in rural and suburban areas.
Earlier this month, the USPS kicked off negotiations with the American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO (APWU). The APWU is the largest of the Postal Service's four unions and represents 211,000 employees, including clerks, mechanics, vehicle drivers, custodians and some administrative positions. The APWU's contract is also set to expire on November 20, according to the USPS.
"The Postal Service needs flexibility to adjust to the nation's changing mailing trends," said Anthony Vegliante, USPS chief human resources officer and executive vice president, in a statement. "Our dedicated employees are committed to their mission to deliver for America. We have a good working relationship with our unions and know they want to keep us strong in this changing environment. Our goal is to negotiate a contract that's fair to our customers and employees and meets our financial and operational needs."
Jerry Hempstead, president of parcel consultancy Hempstead Consulting, said in an interview USPS has many challenges when it comes to getting relief from its rank and file union members.
"USPS has more employees than it has work at the moment, and management has a contract…but you really don't hear about layoffs at the USPS," he said. "You hear more about voluntary and early retirement. There is not much the USPS can do short of making sure overtime is in check and not replacing anybody who resigns or retires to right-size the business. But considering their numbers they have done a yeoman's job of bringing down man-hours to coincide with the decline in business."
Hempstead added that if the USPS can get some relief from the unions in terms of the way business is managed to better align staff hours to the amount of work coming through, it would be a great win for USPS management.
And another issue coming up is the pending USPS rate case based on a July proposal to have Standard Mail Parcels reclassified as competitive probably by October. The objective of this is to reflect the fact that customers use these parcels for different purposes, as well as to establish the Postal Service as a profitable provider of parcel services in the marketplace.
But if rates do rise at the USPS, Hempstead said more customers may be inclined to lean on electronic delivery for things like periodicals, and that could drive more business away.
Meeting future financial needs is imperative for the USPS, considering that during the fiscal third quarter it incurred a net loss of $3.5 billion compared to $2.4 billion for the same timeframe last year, with operating revenue at $16 billion, a $294 million annual decline. Operating expenses—at $19.5 billion—were up $789 million year-over-year.
This is the 14th net loss in the last 16 quarters for the USPS, with its fiscal 2010 year-to-date net loss at $5.4 billion compared to $4.7 billion at this point in 2009.
USPS officials said the increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher workers' compensation expenses because of a non-cash fair value adjustment and higher retiree health benefits expenses.
Mail volume for the quarter—at 40.9 billion pieces—was down roughly 700 million pieces of 1.7 percent. Due largely to an ongoing diversion to electronic alternatives, including e-mailing business documents and online purchasing orders, as well as other electronic mailing processes, the USPS has been under difficult circumstances for more than three years. What's more, it is faced with the possibility of a projected $7 billion shortfall for Fiscal Year 2011.
A March 2010 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicated that the USPS needs to consider various restructuring steps to stem its significant revenue and volume declines it has incurred in recent years. The report also noted how USPS mail volume has declined by 35 billion pieces-or 17 percent-from fiscal years 2007-2009, losing $12 billion during that span. It also mentioned how the USPS does not expect total mail volume to return to its previous level when the economy recovers, forecasting that total mail volume will decline to 167 billion pieces in fiscal year 2010-its lowest level since fiscal year 1992 and 22 percent off its fiscal year 2006 peak.
USPS officials said that the contract for 207,000 employees represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), who deliver in metropolitan areas, expires on November 20, 2011, which is the same date the contract expires for the 49,000 employees represented by the National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPHMU) who work in mail processing plants and Post Offices. Contract negotiations for these two unions will commence roughly 90 days prior the contracts' expiration date.

Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Mists
Ready to use, preblended aromatherapy mists. Designed to be used in your treatment rooms, relaxation rooms or on linens for a true aromatherapy experience. Excellent for retail sale. 4 oz. spray bottle.
Select from 5 blends:
I love the ginger/mint smell-- light refreshing and so relaxing
I have been using this brand/scent for months and absolutely love it. Those around the outer area near my office love the scent that makes its way out to the hallway! I love it for my linens and I even spritz myself! I just wish it was on sale when everything else was on sale! I usually buy a few cans at a time!
I spray this at the end of every massage in every room at my spa. Orange brings happiness and Patchouli a sense of freedom and love. This is the greatest combination at the end of a great massage.
I purchased this a long time ago and was going to return it because it barely smelled. But it was going to cost me more to send it back. I will never buy this brand again. Unfortunately I purchased 3 orange ones should have stuck with one. COMPLETE BUST!
When I received this product it was leaking and sticky all over the outside. The scent was not what I had expected. I don't use it because the whole thing is gross to me.

Designed in 2004 by XS Scuba, these hot-dip galvanized cylinders are manufactured in North America by Worthington Cylinders. The Worthington Cylinders Corp. is already the world's largest supplier of industrial steel cylinders, and has become the market leader.
There are two different 'Series' of steel cylinders available. The most popular are high-pressure X-Series™ cylinders, as they offer the most air in the smallest size cylinders. The other are the low-pressure LP-Series™ cylinders which offer lower fill pressures, making them ideal for dive boats and many air compressors.
The exterior of all XS Scuba steel cylinders are hot dip galvanized. This highly demanded and preferred finish is utilized on all Worthington steel cylinders offered by XS Scuba. Don't be misled by claims from companies distributing steel cylinders with painted exteriors. There is no better process to protect a steel cylinder from rust and corrosion than hot dip galvanization!

These valves are clean for Nitrox up to 40% FO2
Manufacturing Process
Our steel cylinders are manufactured at Worthington Cylinder's state of the art facility in Tilbury, Canada. The cylinders are manufactured using the Deep Draw and Ironing (DDI) process. Cylinders start from a circular plate of chrome-moly steel. Multiple draws on a hydraulic press transform the plate into an open ended shell. The shell is then closed, the neck is formed and the threads are machined. The DDI process produces the most consistence wall thickness resulting in the lightest weight, most efficient cylinders. This manufacturing process is what allows us to supply cylinders with the best buoyancy characteristics for scuba diving . Other suppliers are selling cylinders that are manufactured using the Billet Piercing or 'Spun' Tube process. These cylinders are generally heavier with less preferred buoyancy characteristics than those manufactured using DDI.
No Exterior Rusting...We Guarantee it for the lifetime of the cylinder!
During the process of Hot Dip Galvanizing, the exterior of our steel cylinders are submerged into 840ºF molten zinc. The process deposits an 8-10 mil thick zinc barrier to protect against the corrosive ocean environment. This layer of zinc metallurgically bonds to the steel cylinder. It will not chip and wear away like a painted zinc finish. XS Scuba is so confident that exterior rust will not be an issue, we guarantee it for the life of the cylinder. If the exterior of your XS Scuba HDG steel cylinder rusts, we'll correct it for as long as you own the cylinder, without cost to you.

County Compensation Board To Meet
(LeMars) -- Plymouth County elected employees will get some idea as to whether or not salary increases will occur for next year. This afternoon the Plymouth County Compensation Board will meet for the second time to review and discuss county employees' salaries. They will then offer their suggestions to the Plymouth County Board of Supervisors for when the supervisors start the process of establishing a budget for next fiscal year. Craig Bauerly seerves as the chairman for the Compensation Board, and explains what will take place during this afternoon's meeting.

That meeting will start at 3:00 p.m. and will be held at the Plymouth County Courthouse at the Board of Supervisors meeting chambers.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Families in western Iowa's Mills County who were affected by this year's flooding along the Missouri River may be able to get as much as $1,000 from the American Red Cross.
The Loess Hills Chapter of the Red Cross is offering the money to flood victims.
Julie Chavez says she hopes her family will qualify for the Red Cross money because they were unable to get help from FEMA.
Chavez says her family's home was surrounded by floodwaters in June, causing thousands of dollars of damage.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released massive amounts of water from the dams along the Missouri River this year to deal with heavy rains and above-average snowmelt, causing record flooding in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for a Wright County man convicted of second-degree murder in a 1996 shooting, ruling prosecutors improperly suppressed a state investigative file.
Jose Aguilera was found guilty of killing Jesus Garcia, of Rowan, while he was inside a car near a party in Rowan. Aguilera was sentenced to 50 years in prison. It wasn't under 2006 when
defense lawyers received a file containing details of interviews by a state investigator.
The court ruled Friday the statements would have provided evidence that Aguilera could have used "to bolster his claim of an accidental shooting."
Defense attorney Marty Elberg says the court recognized that prosecutors can't hold back information. The attorney general's office is reviewing its options.

Justin Bieber appears determined to continue provoking Orlando Bloom following their bust-up at a party in Ibiza, Spain early on Wednesday by posting a photo of the British actor's estranged wife, Miranda Kerr, on his Instagram blog.
The two stars squared up to one another at a celebrity-filled event at Cipriani restaurant, and in video footage of the confrontation, obtained by TMZ.com, the pair appear to engage in a shoving match, before Bloom allegedly attempts to throw a punch at Bieber, only to miss his target.
Justin Bieber declares Instagram WAR on Orlando Bloom http://t.co/TXlgh6sSqH pic.twitter.com/sAvojMssnM
— TMZ (@TMZ) July 31, 2014
Reports suggest the altercation was over Bloom's ex, Australian supermodel Kerr, who the "Baby" hitmaker allegedly flirted with while performing at the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and Bieber seemed keen to goad the "Lord of the Rings" star hours after the pair came face to face by uploading a sexy shot of the bikini-clad beauty on his Instagram.com account.
PHOTOS: 'Bad boy' Bieber
The image was promptly deleted and the 20-year-old subsequently tweeted, "Keeping it positive", but he was back to his bad behavior hours later, when he posted a photo of Bloom appearing to cry. That snap was also quickly taken down.
Keeping it positive
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) July 30, 2014
Kerr has yet to comment on the fight, but it seems she would rather focus on her work after taking to her Instagram page on Wednesday to share a picture from her new modeling campaign for 7 For All Mankind. The photo features Kerr topless, wearing just a pair of jeans as she lies in a bathtub filled with water.
The model split from Bloom in October after three years of marriage.

Vaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina. It is most commonly due to the fungus Candida albicans.
Yeast infection - vagina; Vaginal candidiasis; Monilial vaginitis
Most women have a vaginal yeast infection at some time. Candida albicans is a common type of fungus. It is often found in small amounts in the vagina, mouth, digestive tract, and on the skin. Most of the time, it does not cause infection or symptoms.
Candida and the many other germs that normally live in the vagina keep each other in balance. However, sometimes the number of Candida increases, leading to a yeast infection.
This can happen if:
A yeast infection is not spread through sexual contact. However, some men will develop symptoms such as itching and a rash on the penis after having sexual contact with an infected partner.
Having many vaginal yeast infections may be a sign of other health problems. Other vaginal infections and discharges can be mistaken for a vaginal yeast infection.
You will have a pelvic exam. It may show:
A small amount of the vaginal discharge is examined using a microscope. This is called a wet mount and KOH test.
Sometimes, a culture is taken when the infection does not get better with treatment or comes back many times.
Your health care provider may order other tests to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
Medicines to treat vaginal yeast infections are available as creams, ointments, vaginal tablets or suppositories. Most can be bought without needing to see your health care provider.
Treating yourself at home is probably OK if:
Medicines you can buy yourself to treat a vaginal yeast infection are:
When using these medicines:
You doctor can also prescribe a pill that you only take by mouth once.
If your symptoms are worse or you get vaginal yeast infections often, you may need:
To help prevent and treat vaginal discharge:
Most of the time, symptoms go away completely with proper treatment.
A lot of scratching may cause the skin to crack, making you more likely to get a skin infection.
Repeat infections that occur right after treatment, or a yeast infection that does not respond well to treatment, may be an early sign of diabetes or rarely, HIV.

Necessary gear
I think that the Leatt brace is a necessary piece of equipment for all downhill and freeride mountain bikers. I was on the fence about buying one since I am a student and it would constitute a pretty massive purchase for me, but after a substantial amount of research I realized that I would either have to stop mountain biking the way that I was, or buy a neck brace. So I bought a neck brace. In hindsight I think this was a great decision. The brace is easily customizable to fit just about anyone, super comfortable to ride in, and much like purchasing your first full face lid, it gives you a huge boost in confidence. I have taken a few gnarly spills while wearing this brace and I am not going to come out and say something like IT SAVED MY LIFE, but I would bet that were I not wearing a Leatt,some of my crashes could have ended up being much worse.
What is best helmet with this?
What is best helmet with this?
Firstly (and most important) the leatt brace only functions as designed when used with a full face helmet. That may seem obvious but some people dont know. That said, i think it just comes down to preference. I am fairly sure it will work as intended with any helmet so long as its a full face. I wear my DBX comp with a Giro Remedy and I think its really comfortable.
Must have safety piece
I love this brace, I honestly feel like it has saved me from serious neck injuries. I think in the next few years it will just be a standard piece of equipment people wear when they go riding just like kneepads are now. It is really comfortable and customizable so you can fit it to your body, and only takes one ride to get used to it. After that you don't even think twice about having it on, and you actually start to feel vulnerable to neck injury without it. The price isn't even a factor either when you compare it to the thought of a serious neck injury or paralysis, for me it's no question. If I need a full face helmet to hit something, then I also need a Leatt brace.

Received wisdom is that R&D is '[ ] unquestionably the most important part of the pharmaceutical business.'1 Yet, drugs don't sell themselves users and payers need to be convinced, and in some markets this means convincing one doctor at a time. Furthermore, most markets around the world don't have the healthcare system infrastructure, physician knowledge, or means to pay for the most innovative drugs. Instead of jumping onto the R&D escalator and increasing R&D spend, Nycomed a mid-tier firm with 2008 sales of 3.35bn, decreased R&D expenditure by 21% in 2008 from the previous year and has instead decided on a highly market-focused approach. Spending 224.7m (14.9% of sales) on R&D is not trivial, but this sum is dwarfed by the total sales and marketing expenses which, at 1.56bn in 2008, is an order of magnitude greater.
What, then, drives the innovation engine at Nycomed? "Licensing and M&A activity are at the core of the growth strategy for Nycomed," says Dr Carlos de Sousa, Vice President Licensing, based at the company's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. A dedicated in-house team identifies opportunities through a diverse array of methods such as attending partnering meetings such as BIO and BioEurope, initiating direct contact with companies, capitalising on an extensive professional network built up over two decades in Dr de Sousa's case and utilising Nycomed's own scientists to follow developments in key therapeutic areas such as GI, respiratory, pain, inflammation and tissue management.
Over the last decade Nycomed has been making significant in-roads into developing marketing capabilities in the emerging BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China), through a strategy of local and regional in-licensing and the firm has positioned itself as a partner of choice in the Russia/CIS and Latin American regions. Yet the acquisition of the larger Altana Pharma in December 2006, brought with it, in addition to a strong commercial presence in Europe, an enhanced drug development capability, and the potential to seek early-stage assets for global deals. Dr de Sousa elaborates on this parallel in-licensing strategy: "Nycomed has an image of being well known in these [BRIC] markets. What are not so well known are our capabilities to pick up a product in pre-clinical or early clinical, conduct a global development programme, and engage regulatory authorities, not just in the Europe and the US, but worldwide, e.g. in Latam and in Russia."
Where are assets coming from? "In terms of global deals for products in development, our sources are mainly biotechs and mid-tier companies; however, at the country level, where we have a strong presence, there is a diverse source of originator compounds, including Big Pharma and they often come to us," says de Sousa. A dedicated in-house team reviews assets and conducts due diligence, after which a deal can be structured in different ways with co-development deals, and risk-sharing option deals being discussed, particularly with cash-strapped biotech firms. UK biotechs are particularly vulnerable with 45% having less than one year of cash,2 yet still needing to progress assets to phase 2a before partnering in an option deal under pre-agreed terms, such that both companies share risk and the asset can move to the next milestone.
On the other hand, US biotechs are generally better capitalised and it is not uncommon for them to conduct beauty parades for cash-rich suitors wishing to acquire their well-packaged, attractive assets. However in de Sousa's experience, these events are one-dimensional: "In companies that privilege an auction process, management is thinking more in short-term financials, rather than the future of the compound. When you conduct an auction process, the deciding factor is the size of the pie, rather than how capable or good a partner you are. If it is a big, attractive project, then you have the big guys competing in the auction &'151; and we will not be able to pay as much as they can. We may be there, but it is not our preferred scenario."
Nycomed may not be able to compete with Big Pharma on cash, but it appears as if there are several reasons why firms choose to partner with them at the global and local market level, as de Sousa concludes, "First, every time we license a product, we take very seriously the expertise that the originator company has. They may not have the development capability, but we always have joint committees, and we always involve the partner. Second, when we bring a product in-house, it will be a core part of our portfolio and a partner won't have internal products competing for resources. We also don't have the same need for a return on a product as big pharma, looking at peak sales of a product. Furthermore, Nycomed has a reputation for being flexible, fast, and less bureaucratic compared to Big Pharma. As a mid-sized pharma you have direct access to top management we only have one approval committee, so when we make decisions we make them very fast, we don't need to go through four or five committees. Finally, we don't have a commercial organisation in the US, so US rights is not a top priority for us. US companies, especially biotech, and in specialist areas, would like to retain commercial rights in the US, and we are fine with that and this is a key differentiator."
As a new breed of pharmaceutical company, Nycomed appears to show that a focus on the commercial side of the business licensing, marketing rather than a pure focus on proprietary R&D is not incompatible with long-term success.

To address this new economic reality IBM in a recently release Point of View (POV) is laying out a path for smarter government that enables agencies at all levels to look at structural changes and leverage technology to deploy analytics and new delivery models, that will reduce operating costs, improve revenue streams, enhance performance, and strengthen the delivery of services.
The economic uncertainty of the 21st-century demands that government agencies take action but they must also have a vision, act with purpose, and make informed decisions based on fact and deep insights. Helping governments implement smarter approaches is something IBM has been doing for more than 100 years, from the 1890 U.S. Census, to the Apollo moon missions, to helping cities deal with issues ranging from crime, traffic and water systems. This experience makes our POV very relevant to helping governments address the challenges they face today.

We've got summer on the brain with this week's trend highlights! These two looks are made for a laid-back warm-weather vibe.
Ensemble 1, Ensemble 2, Ensemble 3
The tribal trend has been around for a while, and it's steadily gaining popularity as a bold yet wearable option. We love incorporating them into tank tops, swimwear, dresses and even accessories! Whether you opt for a subtle tribal detail, like a tribal-inspired sandal, or go all-out with a head-to-toe tribal ensemble, there's room for tribal in everyone's summer wardrobe!
For the guys, we've been seeing a resurgence in the whole "desert traveler" look—think khakis, lightweight button-up shirts, desert boots, neutral leather sandals and cargo bottoms. We've styled them four different ways to show the versatility of this summer look.

SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities are identifying the two people who died in a house fire in a Cleveland suburb as a father and his teenage daughter.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims of Tuesday morning's fire as 62-year-old Jance Reynolds and 18-year-old Mary Paige Reynolds.
Both died from smoke inhalation as fire consumed the two-story house in Shaker Heights before dawn. Five other residents were taken to a hospital.
Shaker Heights Fire Chief Kevin Jacobs said the fire started in the rear of the first floor and burned right up the staircase. Firefighters found the bodies of the father and daughter on the second floor.
The house is so badly damaged it will have to be demolished. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Wednesday News, June 6
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County election can be summed up by saying the Incumbents Win. In each of the Republican primary contested race, it was the incumbent candidate that was able to protect their position. Although, District Two between Mark Loutsch and Wayne Schipper the difference was only 49 votes. Loutsch was able to carry the rural areas while Schipper, perhaps not surprisingly carried Le Mars. Another close race was in District 5 where Jim Henrich narrowly defeated challenger Dan Smith. Henrich had 1117 votes while Smith had 951. In District 3, Don Kass was able to win easily by defeating challenger Merlin Wagner by a margin of 1138 votes. The sheriff's race between incumbant Mike Van Otterloo and Jay King was also a runaway. Van Otterloo defeated King by a 6 to 1 margin.
A total of 2205 votes were cast which is more than double the votes from the last election in 2008, when 1084 people went to the polls.
Mike Van Otterloo 1844
Jay King 314

Mark Loutsch 1069
Wayne Schipper 1020

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 1The Carr Family
Felicia Jackson made a promise on her sister's deathbed to keep all 10 of her nieces and nephews together. With that one act of kindness in 2004, Felicia went from being the married mother of four to a single mother of 14. Felicia supports all 14 children by working as a security guard. Unable to find permanent housing, the family has been living in a hotel since December. Felicia was told that if she doesn't find appropriate housing soon, she will have to split the children up within the foster care system.
The season premier of Extreme Makeover has Ty and the team traveling to Maryland to build appropriate housing for this large family and their selfless mother who has sacrificed everything to keep them together.
Beginning in the kitchen, Venicia by KraftMaid was the cabinetry of choice to outfit the family hub. Natural Maple Satin stain was used on the Capri door style and adorned with Aluminum Integrated hardware. In the study, Oceana Gloss, a deep blue finish, was chosen for the Corressa style cabinet door and accented by Satina glass inserts.
Both the boy's and girl's bathrooms was designed with Venicia's Mirra collection. Mist Gloss, a soft, radient hue, was used to stain the cabinetry, while Aluminum door and drawer pulls completed the design. Finally, in the laundry room, KraftMaid's traditional cherry wood cabinetry was selected and finished in the Peppercorn stain. Satina glass door inserts and Aluminum Cylinder hardware accented the new cabinets.

|Drought affects pheasant hunting
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Everything has been affected by this year's drought conditions and high temperatures, including the wildlife species that call northeast Colorado home. Many of the species are able to deal with short periods of dry conditions and hot temperatures, but a summer like this past one is starting to take a toll.
Pheasant and quail populations have been extremely high the past two years in the northeastern part of the state. The area came into this spring with high numbers of pheasants due to the mild winter and it looked like hunters were setting up for another good year.
The lack of moisture and high temperatures appear to have negatively impacted the production of chicks this summer.
For pheasants, the peak of nesting occurs in early to mid-May. The hen will lay one to two eggs a day until she has a total of 12 and then will start to incubate the eggs so they all hatch at the same time. If the temperatures get above 92 degrees while she is still laying, the eggs will start to develop on their own. If the eggs start to develop before the hen is done laying and the temperature then drops below 60, the eggs will die.
The hen does not know that the eggs have died and will continue to lay the last couple of eggs and will begin incubating them for 23 days. Instead of hatching a full brood, she will only hatch a couple of chicks.
This has been the case for much of northeastern Colorado this year. Most of the broods that the Division of Wildlife has been seeing are three to four chicks instead of the seven to 12 they were seeing the last two years.
Pheasants get most of their water from the food they consume, so the lack of water doesn't have a big impact on them. The lack of moisture does, however, impact the availability of sufficient brood-rearing cover. Chick survival is also down due to the lack of green leafy vegetation that attracts insects, which make up over 90 percent of the diet.
The farther a pheasant brood has to travel to find insects to eat, the greater their mortality is. In normal years, the habitat quality increases going into the summer, but unfortunately that was not the case this year.
It was dry enough that many of the normal plants that the pheasant chicks depend upon for survival just didn't grow.
The lack of birds has been very apparent to many of the pheasant hunters as they have been out walking fields the last couple of weeks. Many of the hunters that the DOW has talked to are seeing low numbers of birds, and the birds that they are seeing get up wild and don't allow them to get close enough for a shot.
Typically, when the area sees a good hatch, over 75 percent of the birds harvested will be younger-of-the-hatch birds. This year most of the birds harvested have been older birds with less than 25 percent being birds that were hatched this year.
With the reduced amount of cover this year, the birds are starting to bunch up in the cover that is left. Some hunters are finding pockets with good numbers of birds, but most are struggling to harvest a bird.
As many of the ranchers are too well aware, the area is going to be going into fall with a lot less available forage. With the dry conditions, many of the wildlife species have to work a lot harder to get enough to eat.
Northeast Colorado will likely see a decreased body condition in many of the deer and pronghorn going into this winter. If the area has a winter or lack of winter, like the past couple of years, it will probably not be an issue.
But if there is a hard winter with lots of snow, the area will see increased winter mortality and a population decrease.
The little bit of moisture from this fall has helped, but a lot of the damage has already been done. If the area gets a relatively mild winter and a wet spring, populations will recover quickly and northeast Colorado will not see long-lasting impacts. If there is a hard winter or another year of drought conditions, it will take a number of years for populations to recover.

Funds Shortage May Close CASA
April 14, 2013
CASA for Children Inc....
This site is often populated by people who complain about government cost and incompetence and yet CASA is an organization the offers one to one advocacy for children in the justice system as victims and sometimes as delinquents. They have no government budget, they just have real people volunteering their skills and support to kids in turmoil. Wonder if any of the people who moan about government and taxes have the stones to cut a check to a bare bones social service agency with no tax money and staffed by volunteers. ONe would think that churches looking for ways to support noble service would jump in, learn more about CASA and work to keep them alive. There is no greater cause than the children and with no CASA the chaos that kids face in the system will be even more so. Imagine being eight, victimized by your own family and having no one to look to for a hand up. With all of the blah blah around today, CASA is doing the job. I am sending money, hope others do too.

"The goal of the clean sweep is to work with other agencies to put as many officers as we can on the streets of Rockford to eradicate the crime problem," says Rockford Police Chief Chet Epperson.
But it's unclear whether the sweeps have done much to crackdown on crime.
Operation Clean Sweep started in October, 2011. Hundreds of law enforcement officers and their agencies joined forces to serve warrants, check on parolees, and find drug dealers.
"Many of these [sweeps] are generated because citizens have called the police department and they say 'hey we believe there's an alleged drug house at this location,'" Epperson says.
Rockford Police and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department spent about $34,000 on overtime pay for the sweeps, but only 16 people were arrested for drugs; 6 for guns; and 13 for prostitution. Police also recovered 18 grams of cocaine, 6 guns, and $10,000 in cash.
The big busts came early in the sweeps, in October, when police uncovered 24 pounds of pot and 387 pot plants growing in a home - worth nearly $2 million.
Police have only kept track of people who were arrested in four out of the six sweeps -- and nobody is following up on the court cases to see if anyone is serving jail time, or the cases were dismissed.
Police say a "score card" of their efforts will be forthcoming, but when 23 News sent a FOIA requesting the names of everyone arrested from October - April, not all the information was available because it hadn't been kept.
