Controlling Fuel Volatility

Shifting Smokers Spur Category Evolution
As more cigarette buyers switch to smokeless and electronic tobacco products, convenience store retailers juggle SKUs to drive profit. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor. Traditional cigarettes—once the mighty margin maker for retailers—continue to face a rocky road as the tobacco market shifts toward increasing consumer interest in moist smokeless, flavored cigars and electronic cigarettes.
Integrating New PCI Standards
Point-of-sale attacks at merchant locations have highlighted weaknesses in POS systems integration. Most of these attacks can be traced back to remote-access portals that were inadequately secured. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor. More than a few c-store operators grow anxious at the mention of anything to do with PCI compliance, and who can blame them.
Opportunities Abound in Candy
Despite the continued economic doldrums, U.S. confectionery sales have grown at a pace of 4.2% annually. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor. Keeping shelves full of customers' favorite candy, gum and mint brands may seem like an obvious practice for convenience store category mangers.

Seizing Control of Smokeless Tobacco
With new flavors, brand extensions and increased promotional activity, MST sales continue to post strong gains at convenience stores. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor.

Dealing with Dairy
A federal program is threatening milk and ice cream prices, which could impact c-store sales. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor. Even with all of the options that packaged goods manufacturers give consumers today—brands, flavors, package sizes, price points, promotions and much more—ice cream has remained a pretty simple retail category. Enter the federal government. In
Bursting With Energy
The energy shots and drinks market has been on an upward growth trajectory since 2010 and with the improvement in the economy is expected to continue on this growth. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor Americans need all the energy they can get their hands on, which goes a long way to explaining the enduring success
Combating C-Store Theft
Typically, convenience stores can experience a few gasoline thefts a week. But when prices increase, some stores see several gas thefts a day. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor When times get hard, thieves get industrious and innovative. The response by convenience store operators must be twofold: extensive background checks on potential employees to weed out
Seizing Smokeless Opportunities
Convenience store operators are enjoying the growing popularity of smokeless tobacco products, but they are also being forced to keep a wary eye on federal and local regulations. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor Is the smokeless tobacco product category, which includes moist snuff, snus and dissolvables, the lifeboat that convenience store retailers hope it will
Growing Roller Grill Sales
From hot dogs and sausages to ethnic foods like taquitos and egg rolls, roller grills continue to prosper at convenience stores. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor Roller grills—if handled correctly—offer a great opportunity to grow sales. But as simple and relatively labor-free as they are, they still require management oversight, employee training and some marketing savvy. It's
Leveling The RYO Playing Field
In recent years, roll-your-own tobacco machines have surfaced at various retail locations putting convenience stores at a competitive disadvantage on price. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor America, and in particular its lawmakers, remains caught in a love-hate relationship with tobacco. That push-pull has resulted in very well-publicized attempts to dissuade Americans from using tobacco, or
Service to the Fleet
With fuel costs again on the rise, a fleet card network can attract new business while offering fleet managers the safety, security and reporting tools they need to be successful. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor. Fleet cards are a nice piece of business for c-store operators. But the key to keeping that business growing is

Brian Costa operates five American Pride car washes in the Cleveland area. All told, there are 29 self-service bays and six touchless automatics. Until early 2000 each location was quarter-based.

Secure in the Convenience Store
Internet-based surveillance systems are combating shrink and protecting employees. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor.

Even better,
Salty Snack Sales Surging
Healthier fare is certainly not the only trend in packaged snack foods, but it is by far the most important and widespread one affecting convenience stores. By Howard Riell, Associate Editor.

Building Bottled Water Sales

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Vt. methadone clinic faces another possible delayThe Associated Press | December 30,2012SOUTH BURLINGTON A proposed a methadone clinic near schools in South Burlington is facing another possible delay.
The South Burlington Development Review Board will be asked at its meeting Wednesday to hold another hearing based on claims that a board member had an improper private communication about the case.
If the hearing is granted, that could push back a decision on whether the clinic can open by at least 15 days or longer.
The request to reopen the hearing alleges an ex parte communication took place, said South Burlington Zoning Administrator Ray Belair. He said he had no other information on the request and referred questions to planning and zoning director Paul Conner, who was out of town and could not be reached for comment, the Burlington Free Press reported.
The clinic was at first approved and then appealed by the South Burlington School District, which argued that the facility for heroin and Oxycodone addicts could bring crime and traffic to the proposed site near the citys high school and middle school.
The board had until Jan. 4 to issue a written decision on the appeal.
But if the hearing is reopened, the board would have to warn of a hearing with 15 days notice and could continue the meeting indefinitely.
Once the meeting is closed, the board would have 45 days to issue a decision.
The HowardCenter, a Burlington nonprofit agency, has proposed opening the new clinic on Dorset Street, to serve about 650 clients. It would close two smaller clinics in Burlington and South Burlington. The proposed site is about 500 feet from Frederick Tuttle Middle School and 1,000 feet from South Burlington High School.
HowardCenter, which hoped to open the clinic this year, has threatened to sue the city under federal anti-discrimination law.
It also unsuccessfully sought to dismiss the school district appeal.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight. Full StoryA Clarendon man pleaded innocent to his fourth DUI charge and a related charge in Rutland... Full StoryMan denies

BREAKING NEWS: Lego Combines Digital and Physical Play with Lego Fusion
Lego Systems Inc. has unveiled Lego Fusion, a play experience that combines traditional Lego brick play with app-based mobile games for kids ages 7 and up. The Fusion collection will include four: Lego Fusion Town Master, Lego Fusion Battle Towers, Lego Fusion Create & Race, and Lego Fusion Resort Designer, featuring Lego Friends characters and themes.
Each Lego Fusion kit consists of a distinct set of Lego bricks, a corresponding free downloadable app, and a unique Fusion capture plate, which is a small brick-building plate featuring a printed design that enables a smartphone or tablet's camera to identify the size, colors, and layout of the Lego bricks built onto the plate. The apps will prompt kids to build a 2-D façade of a building onto the capture plate any way they like. Then, kids can import the façade into the app and transform the creation into a full 3-D building on screen. Once a Lego brick creation has been imported into the game, a series of challenges and interactions will require kids to turn away from the screen and build another façade with their Lego bricks to progress in the game. Each game encourages this back-and-forth between physical and virtual worlds.

If you're visiting us this Labor Day Weekend...
by Selena J
posted Aug 29 2013 2:04PM
The rules of rural Pennsylvania are as follows:
1. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'dirt road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
2. They are cattle. They're live steaks or walking milk bottles. That's why they smell funny to you, get over it. Don't like it? I-80 goes east and west, I-81 goes north
and south. Pick one.
3. Pull your droopy pants up, you look like an idiot.
4. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.
5. So you have a $60,000 car, we're impressed. We have $150,000 corn pickers and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. Every person in rural Pennsylvania waves. We think of it as being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and three does are coming in, we will shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat scrapple, pot pie, funnel cakes, haluskie, pierogies, shoo-fly pie, apple butter, chow-chow, and schnitz un knepp. Don't like the sound of them or the names freak you out because you never saw a "Bon Appetit" article on them? Great, more for us!
9. The 'opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the chef's salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats (includes fish), vegetables, and breads. We use four spices: salt, pepper, hot sauce, and Heinz ketchup. Oh, yeah...we don't care what you folks in Jersey call that stuff you eat. It's not real chili.
13. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.
14. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, and have long hair.
15. College and high school football are as important here as the Steelers and Eagles and a lot more fun to watch.
16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards---it spooks the fish.
17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have state universities, community colleges, and vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and Country. They still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays.

Thunder looking to rebound in Sacramento
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Fresh off a loss that some would consider its worst of the year, the Thunder heads into Arco Arena looking to avoid a repeat result against the lowly Sacramento Kings.
The Kings are a Western-Conference worst 12-37 entering Saturday night's 9 p.m. game and have lost four straight and 12 of their past 16.
But the Thunder showed Tuesday against Memphis that no win is a gimme.
Against a Grizzlies team playing without Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo, two of their top four scorers, the Thunder lost a 105-101 overtime decision inside Oklahoma City Arena. Memphis made its way to town on the second night of a back-to-back. The Thunder was working with two days rest.
"We gave ourselves a chance to win," said Thunder reserve guard Eric Maynor. "We just made bonehead mistakes."
The Thunder committed a season-high 23 turnovers, 12 of them in the second half. The Grizzlies turned those miscues into 31 points, many of them being easy buckets as Memphis scored 27 points in transition.
"Nobody wants to turn the ball over but it happens," said Maynor, one of six Thunder players to finish with at least two turnovers Tuesday.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks responded in the ensuing days of practice by drilling his players on the game's fundamentals. To correct the uncharacteristically sloppy offense, Brooks spent time the past few days working on better spacing, better passing and better screens.
On Tuesday, the Thunder shot just 41 percent against a Grizzlies team that yields 45 percent. That's one reason Brooks is stressing the importance of not looking past Saturday night's game against the Kings, even though their defense allows 47.1 percent.
Sacramento's record can be deceiving. Of the Kings' past nine losses, eight have come by seven points or less.
"They're playing competitive basketball," Brooks said. "They're right there every game … They've played some tough teams very well at home."
Saturday's game concludes a six-game home stand for Sacramento. The Kings are 1-4 on the home stand, which suggests they'll be eager to get a win. The Kings lost to Dallas by two on Wednesday, fell by three to Utah on Monday and lost to Boston by five last Tuesday. Their only blowout losses in the new year came in an 18-point loss at Denver on Jan. 1, a 24-point loss at Boston on Jan. 12 and a 13-point defeat last Friday against San Antonio.
The Thunder defeated the Kings rather soundly in their first meeting, a 102-87 outcome on Dec. 17. But Brooks said that game came so long ago that there is very little from that night's success that can be beneficial.
"We're going to have to go there and do a good job with our defense," Brooks said. "They've got a couple of bigs that do some good work down low, and they've got two guards (Tyreke Evans and Beno Udrih) that are crafty and create a lot of havoc. We have to make sure we are on defensively from the start because this team does have a lot of good pieces."
When: 9 p.m.
Where: Arco Arena.
TV: FS Oklahoma (Cox 37, HD Ch. 722)
Radio: WWLS 98.1-FM, 640-AM.
* The Thunder won the first meeting, 102-87, on Dec. 17.
* The Kings have lost four in a row and 12 of their past 16 games. They have the worst record in the Western Conference. But eight of their past nine losses have come by seven points or less.
* Sacramento is 4-27 when allowing 100 points or more.

SACRAMENTO -- California wine producers shipped an estimated 3.6 percent more wine to U.S. markets last year, and higher-end wines such as those made in the North Coast could benefit from a "transition" in supply and consumer tastes that favor quality and distinctiveness, according to experts at a major wine industry conference Wednesday.
California shipments increased to 216 million 9-liter cases last year from 207.7 million in 2012, while U.S. wine shipments rose 2.7 percent last year to 370 million cases, according to estimates by Gomberg Fredrikson & Associates based on state and federal data through October or November.
"The industry is in a state of transition from a severe shortage to a more balanced market," said industry analyst Jon Fredrikson of the Woodside-based firm to about 1,500 professionals in a Hyatt Regency ballroom during the "State of the Wine Industry" panel presentation Wednesday at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium. More than 13,000 are expected to attend the gathering this year.
That transition came as a shortage of wine from smaller 2010 and 2011 California vintages, created a surge in grape and wine prices in the past two years, Mr. Fredrikson said.
Last year wasn't great for wine sales, but the industry is positioned for "strong" growth this year, he said, noting that wine shipments increased 50 percent since 2001. Yet alcoholic beverage sales growth slowed overall, he noted. Spirits sales rose 1.3 percent, while beer slipped 1.4 percent, despite growth in "craft" spirits, beer and cider.
Small wineries have been benefitting from more sales directly to consumers, now reaching 40 states nine years after the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court's Granholm decision started to open such access, he noted. Increasing e-commerce by physical and virtual wine shops are providing even more options for producers, while the "flash" sale website phenomenon has been waning as winery inventories dwindled, he said.
The volume of direct sales grew 9.3 percent last year, according to the latest figures from ShipCompliant, a major wine shipping regulatory compliance conduit.
Another important sales channel for high-end producers is the "on premise," or wine consumed in restaurants, airlines, cruise ships and other hospitality venues. Though the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Performance Index recovered slightly at the end of last year, the on-premise market was "sluggish."
One cause is the number of slots available on wine lists at fine restaurants still haven't rebounded to levels before the recent economic recession.
"There have been complaints about paring of wine lists," Mr. Fredrikson told the Business Journal after his presentation.

Way Down Inthe
Tom Waits - Way Down In The Hole
--------- --------------------
``Well, I feel we should move right into the religious material.''
When you walk through the garden,
You've gotta watch your back.
Well, I beg you're pardon;
Walk the straight and narrow track.
When you walk with Jesus,
He's gonna save your soul.
You've got to keep the Devil;
Well, you've got to keep him down in the hole.
He's got the fire
he's got the fury
at his command.
Oh, you don't have to worry
Hold on to, hold on to... Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder, when the thunder starts to roll.
We've got to keep the devil,
keep him on down
down in the hole.
That red horned, lousy, low life, underneath our boots..
Praise the Lord.
I don't know what it is.
Two dollar - that demonmiester
Three dollar - that prince devil
Just see if you can come up with a figure that matches your faith
He said, how much has Jesus done for you?
And we got to go in,
with our hydrolic system,
and blast him out.
People, can I get an amen?
All the angels, pledge God to sing;
all about Jesus mighty sword.
And they'll shield you with their wings
People, they'll keep you close to the Lord.
Now don't pay heed to temptation,
For his hands are so cold.
You've got to keep the devil,
keep him on down in the hole.
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
People, I've got to speak about something...
Can I get an amen?
Can I get an halaluja?
Praise the lord.
God bless you.
The Lord is a very very busy man.
I'll do what I can.
But Jesus is always going for the big picture...
But he's always there to help us out of the little jams too.
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Keep him down in the hold
You've got to keep the devil down in the hole
You've got to keep the devil down in the hole
Keep him on down in the hole
down, down, down mighty devil
I send you down below my boots.
down, down, filling my live with anger and strife
Go down mighty devil.
Find a place to live.
Down down down...

text: 000 FXUS63 KLBF 282332 AAA AFDLBF Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service North Platte NE 632 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 328 PM CDT Sat May 28 2016 Current radar imagery is showing some light rain showers/thunderstorms moving into Sheridan county. Current thinking is that these showers/thunderstorms will begin to fall apart as they more southeastward and are not anticipated to become severe. Will keep an eye on them, though, as they move into warmer and slightly more humid air over the next couple hours. Otherwise, rain showers across Boyd and Holt counties will continue to slowly move eastward and come to an end as drier air filters into the region. Scattered cumulus clouds will be the main story across the sandhills and I-80 corridor with conditions remaining dry through evening before clouds dissipate after sunset. Overnight low temperatures drop into the low 50s across the entire CWA. Sunday will begin dry and pleasant with high temperatures eventually rising into the upper 70s and low 80s by afternoon. Rain and thunderstorm chances arrive late Sunday (after 4pm). Confidence in these storms developing is quite low as we will be fairly stable through Sunday evening. Current model guidance shows the better chance for thunderstorm development will be further south (Northern Kansas). Therefore, only included a low chance pop (about 30 percent) for our southern counties for late Sunday afternoon and evening at this time. However, any slight adjustment in moisture or instability northward could significantly change the forecast. This will definitely be something that will be watched tomorrow. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 328 PM CDT Sat May 28 2016 Sunday night through Tuesday...opportunities for strong or severe thunderstorms present themselves late Sunday and Monday. The NAM suggests Nrn Neb Sunday while the GFS model suggests Swrn Neb. The NAM also fires off storms across Swrn Neb Monday aftn while the GFS develops storms across all of Wrn Neb. The locations of storm activity will depend on focus and moisture convergence near the peak heating period of the late aftn and early evening. Moisture...shear and instability are fairly modest but lapse rates are steep with K indices in the lower 40s C. Sfc dew points rise into the upper 50s Monday providing good moisture support. The NAM was carrying this portion of the fcst with higher precipitable values...over an inch. The GFS indicated steeper lapse rates with more low level heating. All of this suggests a mix of strong and severe thunderstorms producing hail as a main concern. Monday would appear to be the better chance with more storm coverage. SPC outlooked the fcst area for severe weather Monday with the better chance for supercell development across Nwrn Neb where the shear will be stronger. As a result of the deep convection across Swrn-Scntl Neb Monday...the NAM develops a closed H700mb low across Nern Neb Tuesday morning. None of the other models show this happening so Tuesday could turn out be dry as the GFS...GEM and ECM are nearly dry. The GFS ensemble holds on to a likely pops across Scntl Neb. Still the NAM has been verifying forecasting moisture correctly so it will not be completely discounted for now. A blend of the model data produces a 40 pop across Ncntl Neb Tuesday morning. A Pacific cold front will move through the fcst area Tuesday and dry out the atm. The ECM has led with the feature and the GEM...GFS and its ensemble are close to the ECM carrying the upper low quickly through the Nrn Plains. Tuesday night through Saturday...a dry forecast is in place. The Pacific cold front should drive moisture well south of the fcst area with no signficant moisture return developing until Friday. The fcst area will be northwest flow aloft as a strong upper level ridge builds into the Cntl Rockies. The models keep the moisture return off the the high plains but with sfc low pressure forming across the Nrn High Plains...it would seem conducive for isolated storm development which could be carried east into the fcst area. It would appear that sfc high pressure across TX will prevent more moist air from moving north up the high plains and the fcst is dry for now. High temperatures gradually warm from the upper 60s Wednesday to lower 80s Saturday as a weak thermal ridge develops. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening) Issued at 628 PM CDT Sat May 28 2016 Widely scattered rainshowers and isolated thunderstorms will continue ahead of a weak cold front moving out of the Nebraska Panhandle into western Nebraska. VFR ceilings and visibilities have been associated with the thunderstorms and VFR conditions are expected to persist through Sunday afternoon. Light and variable winds are expected tonight. Southeast winds Sunbday afternoon less than 10kts. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 328 PM CDT Sat May 28 2016 Flooding along the North Platte River and main branch of the Platte River will continue. While water levels will remain fairly steady through the weekend, moderate flooding will continue along the North Platte River at North Platte and Lewellen. Minor flooding will continue at Lisco and Brady (along the main branch of the Platte River). Although the South Platte river is not anticipated to flood at this time, water level will remain elevated at both Roscoe and North Platte. && .LBF Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Long1 ami Herrcu Argue A Night of Enthusiasm. In his (speech last night Hon. Henry Long mentioned hielaKt previous visit to Cciitrnlia on a campaigning tour, ami said thnt although men, women and children turned out on that occasion, there were 7iot more than fifty of. them infill. Tliosc who saw the crowds fhal swarmed along Tower avenue last night realized pretty well the growth of Cen- tralia. The street was literally alive with people, most of them thorouhly im- bued with the spirit of republican enthu- siasm which prevailed. A delegation of mounted men, hearing torches, and un- ty, is all that stands between the mines and jnillBHof Washington and inaction. To take oil'the seventy-five cents a ton on coal would admit Australian coal, which comes here practically as ballast and throw our iniuera largely out of work. The democrats this year have been begging ofl, saying that they were not a free trade party, but Mr. Thompson clinched their record. lie'declared that the protective issue was the issue of this campaign. He said he did not believe that many democrats in Washington were personally in favor of taking oil the tariff on lumber and coal, but he did know Hint the democratic party was gov- erned by a majority within its ranks, and this majority was composed of free- traders from the southern states, who in turn were .dominated over by a dozen tree-trade leaders. The speaker did not care a cent what Tom Qriflitts believes; if he goes to Washington, he will be dom- inated bv the same caucus that forced der command of Capt. N. S.

I have a Giant MTB that I ride on either roads or fairly benign trails. Not jumping over boulders or pedaling straight up a mountain or anything. My bike has 3x8 gears, and I find myself not using the majority of them. Also, I think a lot of the time a shift of one gear is pretty useless, and I would rather just pedal a little harder or easier than shift through a few gears.
So, is it feasible to switch from this set up to something with 8-10 gears? I was looking at sites that sell derailleurs, but wasn't sure what I would need. Could I leave the front derailleur as is and just use the middle hub, then switch out the rear one, or will I need 2 new ones? What should I look for as far as number of gears, ratios, etc.? I'm don't know a whole lot about this stuff, but would like to get something that works for not too much $$ (don't need anything super fancy, lightweight, etc.).
Any help or ideas you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Oklahoma state senator says Sooner Tea Party co-founder has no shame
A state senator Tuesday called an accusation about his marriage a lie and said his accuser, Sooner Tea Party co-founder Al Gerhart, is a bully.
"It just makes me sick. He has no shame," Sen. Cliff Branan told The Oklahoman. "It was a crazy, untrue allegation that was just shameful. We've been happily married for nearly 18 years. … Our marriage is awesome.
"Nothing like that has ever happened. And I think, candidly, he got me confused with somebody else. It's just nuts."
Gerhart on Tuesday accused Branan of infidelity during a news conference after coming under investigation for an email he sent Branan.
In the March 26 email, Gerhart wrote about House Bill 1412, which would prohibit state communities from having anything to do with the United Nations' Agenda 21 plan.
Misspelling one word, Gerhart wrote: "Get that bill heard or I will make sure you regret not doing it. I will make you the laughing stock of the Senate if I don't hear that this bill will be heard and passed. We will dig into your past, yoru family, your associates and once we start on you there will be no end to it. This is a promise."
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has begun a blackmail inquiry over the email, OSBI spokeswoman Jessica Brown confirmed Tuesday.
At the news conference at the Capitol, Gerhart, 54, of Oklahoma City, admitted again that he sent the email but said he absolutely did nothing wrong.
"Political pain and embarrassment will be necessary if the citizens expect to regain control of this Senate down here from the state chamber of commerce and special interests," he said. "The time for 'nice' behavior is over with."
After reading from prepared remarks, Gerhart told reporters that the scuttlebutt at the Capitol is that Branan "is concerned that we have some information on him on an alleged infidelity."
"That is why Mr. Branan has reacted the way he does," he said. "It's the real reason he's attacking us, according to the scuttlebutt inside the Senate. Why shouldn't I bring it up?"
He admitted he has no proof of his accusation.
Gerhart's statements at the news conference could become evidence against him if he is charged with blackmail. Gerhart contends his email is constitutionally protected free speech.
'Craving for attention'
Branan said he debated whether to respond to the accusation about his marriage. "He's just craving for attention," Branan said.
The senator called Gerhart a bully. He said he worries, though, about what others influenced by Gerhart might do.
Branan said his wife, Connell Branan, was at the Capitol by coincidence Tuesday.
"She is president of a national nonprofit that recognizes mothers of distinction," he said. "I just thought, 'This is just nuts. She's down on the second floor honoring those moms. And he's up on the fourth floor just ranting about something that is a total lie.'"
Branan also said Tuesday that his Senate committee will not take up HB 1412 at its next meeting Thursday. He said not hearing HB 1412 on Thursday means that bill will be dead for this session.
"It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist," he said. "It's more of a fringe conspiracy issue that is frankly just bad public policy. Part of my job is to keep that stuff from happening."
Branan, R-Oklahoma City, is chairman of the Senate Energy and Environment Committee.
About the same time as Branan was making the decision not to hear the bill, the Senate sponsor asked that it be pulled from the committee "out of respect for you and your family."
"I am appalled at the personal attacks and the false accusations that you have endured regarding your family in an attempt to influence your decision to hear HB 1412," Sen. Patrick Anderson, R-Enid, wrote.
The state House in March voted 67-17 to pass HB 1412. Gerhart and other supporters of the legislation said it would protect citizens' property rights.

Plumbing Made Simple - Tips To Help You On Your Plumbing Projects
Problems with plumbing can cause problems in to home and also damage your belongings. Stop plumbing problems before they start by applying the following tips.
To eliminate the possibility of having frozen pipes, maintain a constant temperature in your home above freezing, and be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. Your plumbing can freeze if the air around it is below 32 degrees. If pipes do freeze, the best possible scenario would include taking time for the pipes to thaw and any frozen water to drain. But, they could also burst, causing a mess and a large repair bill.
If any water pipe that you have freezes, be sure to turn on the faucet that is closes to the pipe to give the water an exit as the pipe thaws. Letting the water drain out will relieve pressure in the frozen pipe, which will reduce the chances of it bursting and damaging your home.
Don't put fat, grease and other oils into the drain. These substances will clog the drain as they cool and harden. If the sink has a garbage disposal, it will also make the blades less efficient. Get rid of any fat or oils outside or in the garbage can.
Don't throw trash down your toilet. Doing so can clog the drain and cause plumbing problems. Don't flush items like paper towels, sanitary napkins, diapers or cotton balls, because these items don't break down and may cause clogging issues. Also, use as little toilet paper as possible to clean yourself properly.
Check the floor for soft areas around the toilet to determine floor damage. You can check for softness or weakness in the floor by placing one foot on each side of the toilet and rocking back and forth. Picking up on any problems now will definitely work to save you money later. It's the difference in a little maintenance and total floor replacement.
Be sure that the overflow holes are free of debris. The overflow holes are there to make sure the sink doesn't overfill, which can become a problem if they are blocked. Make cleaning debris from the overflow holes part of your regular routine of maintaining your plumbing and checking it for problems and required repairs.
If you need to buy a pipe cleaner to unclog your pipes, it is best to find one that is enzyme based. These cleaners use natural bacteria to turn the sludge into a liquid, and remove it from your pipes. These enzyme cleaners are probably the best that exist.
Use lots of cold water when you run your garbage disposal. Cold water keeps blades sharp and encourage a smoother disposal. Hot water can liquify grease and cause it to collect in the drain, and that can clog the pipes.
To minimize potential problems with your toilet, avoid using it as a trash receptacle. You should never flush cotton balls, sanitary pads, tissues, paper towels, diapers, or certain other materials, because these things don't dissolve and could clog up your toilet. Even toilet tissue should be used conservatively. Use enough to clean yourself, of course, but if you need to use wads of tissue you should flush several times in the process instead of waiting till the end.
As already revealed, there are many useful tips to help you keep your plumbing working well and to prevent common problems. Practice the tips you read about. If you beloved this article so you would like to get more info relating to gas fireplace heaters (gaslogfiresmelbourne.com) please visit our page. Learning how to deal with your plumbing system saves you time and money since you can take care of most maintenance and emergencies without the aid of a plumber.By stellakrakertqfcosxw

hen the owner of a bed-and-breakfast in Franklin looks out a window after the sun goes down, it still looks like daylight on North Main Street.
Sharon Isselhardt has jokingly told guests trying to find The Flying Frog at night to look for the airplane runway near downtown.
Put simply, North Main Street is very bright now. And that's with only about 75 percent of the streetlights installed.
Franklin is rebuilding North Main Street from Jefferson Street to U.S. 31 by reconstructing the roadway, replacing sidewalks and adding new decorative concrete and lighting. The first phase, from Jefferson Street to Graham Street, was finished in August. Construction crews are expected to start the second phase to U.S. 31 in March.
The black metal light poles installed in the first phase were selected to give the street a historic look while making the area brighter and safer for residents, pedestrians and drivers, city officials said. But the 20-foot-tall streetlights are pouring light onto the recently rebuilt street near downtown, and now city officials are considering whether they need to find dimmer LED bulbs or install plastic shields to block some of the light shining toward homes.
City engineer Travis Underhill plans to contact the light manufacturer to see what options are available.
Residents who live between King and Graham streets and farther north on Main Street, city employees and city board members all have commented on how bright the street is once the sun goes down.
Some residents have raised concerns about how much light comes through their bedrooms windows, Underhill said. But others have noted that the street looks pretty when fully lit and that the brightness is an improvement from how dim the area used to be after dark. Comments have been split about evenly between support and concerns, he said.
"They look nice when you're driving down there, but I don't live there," Mayor Joe McGuinness said.
The city had discussed removing some of the poles that are already up and alternating the taller posts on each side of the street. The gaps would be filled with four-foot-tall lights that would cast a smaller amount of light on the sidewalks. The city could save about $1,500 per light to buy and install the shorter poles in the remaining 11 spaces, Underhill said. But board of works members were concerned that putting in the shorter lights would change the look of the street.
The city also can't remove light fixtures because the lights were wired in a series. If one is removed, an entire section will go out, similar to Christmas lights, Underhill said. If the city wanted to remove fixtures, construction crews would need to dig up yards, and an electrician would have to rewire the area, which would cost the city more.
The city now has 48 lights between Jefferson and Graham streets, which is significantly more than what used to line that section of the street. About 15 lights atop wooden poles used to light primarily intersections, Underhill said. Now, some of the light fixtures are less than 50 feet apart, compared with about 300 feet from intersection to intersection.
Engineers have planned to space out the lighting on the second phase of North Main Street, from Graham Street to U.S. 31, so the city shouldn't have an issue with that area being too bright, CrossRoad Engineers vice president Trent Newport said. That section of road is twice as long and will have 71 streetlights, according to current designs.
The city has to order and install 11 more lights on the street to complete the first phase, so officials are trying to find a way to scale back the brightness before placing that last order, Underhill said.
Deanna Bryant originally was concerned about how close the new light was to the front of her house on North Main Street. But since they've been switched on, she thinks the lights are a major improvement. The street used to be so dark that she couldn't see people on the sidewalk, she said.
The lights not only look good but have made the neighborhood safer, she said.
"They should have been here a long time ago," she said.
The rest of the neighborhood isn't well-lit, Isselhardt said. When she looks out of the front windows of The Flying Frog the street looks like daylight, while the back is as dark as midnight, she said.
The new lights aren't bothering Isselhardt or guests at the bed-and-breakfast because the windows of the guestrooms don't face the street, she said. She wants the city to finish the road with the same light poles to keep a uniform, historic look.

Franklin is considering options to reduce the brightness of new streetlights on North Main Street. The city has received comments from residents and passers-by about how bright the street is at night and are now trying to find dimmer bulbs or plastic shields that can reduce some of the light.

Labyrinthine, Indestructable Economic Force: Eyeing Our Military Budget-Surpassing the Rest of World's Combined
Guntzel, Jeff Severns, National Catholic Reporter
The United States spends more money on its military than the rest of the earth's other 192 nations combined.
In the United States, neither the largest, nor the most endangered, nor the most populated of the earth's nations, American taxpayers send nearly half of their federal tax dollars into the government's vast defense budget each year.
The nation's defense industry is a mighty and virtually indestructible economic force that employs hundreds of thousands and holds sway in the halls of Congress.
Defense spending assessments can take on many forms: number crunching, political sniping, ethical wrangling, or some combination of the three. The assessment published here is something like a scrapbook--an attempt to understand U.S. defense spending and its implications through a collection of clippings culled from legislation, graphs, reports, government Web sites, letters from snipers, and the editorial pages of major newspapers.
Complex-ified and stuffed
Each year, the defense budget is packaged in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The process that culminates in the act each year, not surprisingly, is complicated.
Veteran defense analyst Winslow T. Wheeler of the Center for Defense Information watches that monthslong process with a hawk's eye--it's his job--and he has an intimate analyst's relationship with it. This time around, Wheeler is flustered.
Reporting on the Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2007, which was made law Oct. 1, 2006, and which assigned hundreds of billions of dollars to a seemingly infinite list of projects, programs and emergencies, Wheeler writes: "Congress has so complex-ified the defense budget and stuffed it with spending gimmicks, it is difficult to understand just how much is being spent."
Difficult indeed. And understanding how much is being spent seems more complicated the more closely one follows the process.
The process goes something like this: The president makes a comprehensive budget request, which includes defense spending. The defense portion of the budget request then makes its way to the House Armed Services Committee, where programs and projects and monies (and the occasional wholly unrelated amendment) are added or subtracted.
From there it's off to the Senate Armed Services Committee, where again there are additions and subtractions.
At this stage it's a bill and it returns to the House for a vote, then back to the Senate for a vote, and finally, if it passes both houses, to the president's desk for a signature or veto.
In February 2006, after conferring with Pentagon leadership, the president made a request: $439.6 billion in "new appropriations" for the Department of Defense and $1.9 billion in defense "entitlement programs" (which are exactly what the term entitlement suggests--a veteran's entitlement to health care or retirement funds, for example).
Then there was a request for $50 billion to cover the costs of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's an initial request of just over $491 billion.
Christopher Hellman, a military budget analyst for the Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, in his own 2007 budget analysis, notes that even this early number was "a sum that [exceeded] the average amount spent by the Pentagon during the Cold War for a military that is one-third smaller than it was just over a decade ago."
Wheeler, in his analysis, points out a common error in defense spending tallies: omitting defense-related spending scattered throughout other departments.
Also included in that initial tally and in all final tallies, he argues, should be funding requests for the nuclear weapons activities of the Department of Energy--the president requested $17 billion.

I have come across the problem of password box binding. My application follows MVVM. When I tried to search google to find out how to solve the issue of password box binding, I found two kinds of solution - 1> Use of attached properties 2> Use of Secure strings (http://www.griffinscs.com/blog/?tag=mvvm). Since the second option seemed to be more secure, I was inclined to choose this option. But latter I found out that I can extract the actual string within the secure string using the following code
IntPtr iPtr = Marshal.SecureStringToBSTR(securePassword);
// securePassword is of SecureString type
string str = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(iPtr);
Now I am little confused. Please help me to understand the folowing issues 1> Is use of Secure string is really better than use of String ? 2> Which one of the above two is the right option when I am following MVVM pattern and at the same time I want password strings to be secure.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Secretary of State Mark Ritchie unveiled plans for recounts in the gubernatorial election as well as three legislative races on Monday.
The recount in the governor's race, Ritchie announced, will begin across the state at 9 a.m. on Nov. 29.
The Minnesota State Canvassing Board convenes on Nov. 23 to canvass the results of this year's general election and determine whether any recounts are required under Minnesota law.
Unofficial results have Mark Dayton leading Tom Emmer in the governor's race by less than one half of one percentage point, which would force an automatic recount.
There will also likely be recounts for state House races in Districts 15B, 25B and 27A that are due to vote margins that are less than one half of one percentage point.
