Drug-substance uniformity is an important consideration for the final step in the manufacture of drug substance/active pharmaceutical ingredient. Uniformity studies are necessary to ensure that the entire contents of the batch are homogenous and that the drug substance specification sample is representative of the batch. This paper describes considerations for drug-substance uniformity, such as selection of appropriate test parameters and sample points, and approaches to establishing acceptance criteria. Additionally, operational considerations and best practices to ensure robust and consistent drug substance filtration and uniformity are described.
The final step in drug-substance (active pharmaceutical ingredient, API) manufacture is typically a 0.2 µm filtration step. This filtration step serves as a final clarification of the process pool and also as a bioburden control measure prior to the storage and further processing of drug substance (DS) to drug product (DP). There are many technical considerations to ensure a consistent and robust bulk filtration step, for example:
The DS may be filtered into single or multiple vessels. In the former case (single agitated vessel), uniformity considerations are mixing speed and mixing time prior to taking a sample that is representative of the entire contents of the vessel. In the latter case, it is necessary to demonstrate uniformity between the DS containers. The initial concentration of product effluent from the filter may be expected to be slightly lower than the rest of the pool due to dilution with residual flush solutions in the filter pores and housing assembly, as well as due to non-specific protein or excipient adsorption to the filter. Thus, uniformity acceptance criteria should take into consideration an asymptotic increase in concentration during a reasonable initial product volume. This paper describes risk-based approaches to establish rigorous acceptance criteria and define operational parameters to ensure consistent DS uniformity.

President Barack Obama and Congress have practiced a cruel deception on tens of millions of Americans during the past few years. It involves federal funding of state programs through sources such as the "stimulus" project.
But stimulus money is running out and many states - including West Virginia - are being forced to choose between ending programs that were funded in part by federal funds and coming up with the money on their own.
That simply is not a viable choice in many cash-strapped states.
In West Virginia, prudent management of state finances has allowed governors and legislators to put more money into some initiatives to help low-income individuals and families. But in large measure because of federal demands, that time may be coming to an end.
Legislators had a difficult time balancing the state budget for the current fiscal year, because of drastic increases in the cost of the Medicaid program. It will be even tougher next year, as Medicaid costs continue going up.
Earlier this year, state Department of Health and Human Resources officials were forced to make cuts in help provided to low-income families who need assistance with child care. The program is focused on parents, many single mothers, who need child care so they can work or pursue education intended to get them into the job market.
DHHR officials have increased co-payments parents who receive help must make. For a single mother earning $15,130 a year, the co-payment has increased from $29 a month to $115 a month. On that level of income, $86 more a month is a dramatic, possibly insurmountable, increase. Comparable changes were made for those at other income levels.
The change makes it more difficult, if not impossible, for low-income parents to hold jobs or go to school.
Again, don't blame state officials. It is not their fault federal funding for the program was reduced. Money for other state-level programs also will be cut as funding for federal initiatives such as "stimulus" ends.
In this situation, however, state officials should take a look at whether money can be found to take the child-care program co-pays back down to the level they were earlier this year. As little as $3 million a year in additional state funding could restore the co-pays to their old level.
The program helps West Virginians who are trying to help themselves by working or getting education to find jobs. If at all possible during a time of belt-tightening in state government, efforts should be made to avoid reducing assistance to them.

Augusta, Ga--When the season started a lot of folks figured the Augusta area didn't have a clear cut top team. A month and a half in, we do and that team is Glenn Hills. As we've hit the region schedule, the Spartans are the only undefeated team left and may be only getting better.
That's because this year's Spartans have just one senior in Naquan Turner. Yes, he plays a huge role in their success, but everyone around him are pretty darn good as well. With a picture of their 2008 state title team hangin in the gym, it's a constant reminder of where these guys want to be
"I knew a couple of those guys on the state championship team" said Naquan Turner "Reggie Middleton and Jerel Stephenson, I look up to those guys and they know a lot about us, they taught us a lot."
"Because that was a good team" said Aubrey McRae "I know coming up through this school I want to repeat like them. They were something real special to the school so I want to bring that special thing back."
This year's Spartans also loaded up on tough non region foes and are still perfect. Despite that, coach Travis McRae says the guys are staying humble and are taking things one game at a time.

SAN DIEGO -- Giants minor leaguers Kensuke Tanaka and Dan Runzler were designated for assignment Tuesday, clearing room on the 40-man roster for Heath Hembree and Johnny Monell.
Hembree, a right-handed pitcher, and Monell, a catcher, were called up after Monday's game.
Tanaka came to camp as a second baseman but struggled defensively and was moved to left field at Triple-A Fresno. He hit .267 in 15 games for the Giants.
Runzler has long been a tantalizing talent as a left-hander with a mid 90's fastball, but he never put it together at the big league level. The 28-year-old had a 5.68 ERA for Fresno this season.
On his wife's Twitter account, Runzler wrote: "Thank you for the opportunity to play here. I've met a lot of good people and made some great friends. I wish the players, coaches and organization nothing but the best."

New June 3, 2011
The defendant claims that the apparent authority of
<name of agent> to act for the defendant had terminated before <name of agent> entered into the
<specify transaction>, which is the basis of the plaintiff's claim in this case. The defendant has the burden of proving that the apparent authority of
<name of agent> had terminated.
To prove that the apparent authority of
<name of agent> had terminated, the defendant must prove that the plaintiff had notice that the authority of
<name of agent> had terminated or that the agent was no longer authorized to enter into the
<specify transaction>.
The plaintiff had notice that the apparent authority of
<name of agent> had been terminated if the defendant: <charge the following as applicable:>
delivered oral, written or electronic notice to the plaintiff that the
<name of agent's> authority had been terminated. [Additional charge for written or electronic notice: For written or electronic notice to be effective, you must find that it was given to the plaintiff personally or to his place of business or to a place designated by the plaintiff as one in which business communications are received or to a place where the defendant reasonably believed the plaintiff would receive such communications. You must also find that a reasonable time has elapsed between the delivery of the notice and the
<specify transaction>.]
published notice that
<name of agent's> authority had been terminated by some method reasonably adapted, which could include electronic publication, to give such information to the plaintiff. You must also find that a reasonable time has elapsed between the publication of the notice and the
<specify transaction>.
If you find that the defendant notified the plaintiff that (he/she/it) had terminated the
<name of agent's> apparent authority to act on (his/her/its) behalf prior to the
<specify transaction>, then you must find that the defendant is not liable to the plaintiff.
Ackerman v. Sobol Family
Partnership, LLP, 298 Conn. 495, 509 (2010); Tomlinson v. Board of
Education, 226 Conn. 704, 735 (1993); 1 Restatement (Third) Agency, § 3.11,
Reporter's Notes, comment (a), p. 243 (2006); 1 Restatement (Second), Agency §§
125, 136 (1958).
A third method of proving termination of apparent authority, as stated in
Tomlinson v. Board of Education, supra, 226 Conn. 735 and Ackerman v. Sobol Family Partnership, LLP, supra, 298 Conn. 509, has been excluded from this charge. The third method, as quoted in those cases, states that termination can occur when "the agent is acting under a basic error as to the facts," paraphrasing the 1958 Restatement of the Law of Agency, which specified "facts, the failure to reveal which, were the transaction with the principal in person, would be ground for rescission by the principal." See 1 Restatement (Second), Agency, § 125 (c) (1958). The third method, though, was not at issue in either case, and it was dropped purposefully from the 2006 Restatement of the Law for Agency. The 2006 Restatement explained that the third method involved rescission of a contract and was therefore an issue of contract law rather than agency. 1 Restatement (Third) Agency, § 3.11, Reporter's Notes, comment (a), p. 243 (2006).
The 2006 Restatement also replaces the variety of ways a third person would have notice of termination with a single standard: "Apparent authority ends when it is no longer reasonable for the third party with whom an agent deals to believe that the agent continues to act with actual authority." Compare 1 Restatement (Third) Agency, § 3.11 (2) (2006) with 1 Restatement (Second), Agency, § 136 (1958). Nevertheless, the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts have not adopted or addressed this new standard.
If there is an express contractual provision regarding notice, portions of this charge may be irrelevant, and the judge should tailor the charge accordingly.

(WOMENSENEWS)-- The story of the Sperry Trail crew is the story of women. In a field where "boys" outnumber "girls" by roughly the same margin as in childhood sandlot baseball games, the Sperry district--one of the alpine kingdoms on Glacier's west side--was, during my trails tenure, run by women.
I stumbled into this lineage my first season, following Reba around the district with a tool in each hand, trying to keep up with her nimble feet and constant stream of chatter. She seemed to me back then as salty as they came, a feisty woman with a dirty mouth who loved to ski and worked her summer job to support her winter habit.
She tromped along taut ridgelines strung across sky and she told stories: Abby built that retaining wall with a broken thumb. The Middle Fork guys climb peaks on the clock every single hitch! If so-and-so sharpens the saw, he still puts the chain on backward damn near every time. Once Danny got lost while he was taking a dump, hilarious! If you tell we got the saw stuck twice on the same tree, I'll deny it!
Sometimes she complained and when unsure of herself she could lash out mean, but Reba told on herself with at least as much fervor as she told on everyone else, a reflexive cackle that kept her just this side of gossip. She hoisted trails lore like a glass for a toast, and I was thirsty for it.
Memorable Crew Members
Other women were more peripheral than my first crew leader, but no less memorable. Sherri was barely 5 feet tall and could outdrink men twice her size; plus she could take apart and reassemble a chainsaw without losing a screw or e-clip, a skill I appreciated more once I'd lost a few myself. After law school, Sherri realized she didn't want to be a lawyer, so she started working seasonally to pay off student loans. I wouldn't be surprised if she's doing it still.
Annie was smart and lithe with a handful of advanced degrees and a wicked sewing habit. She made costumes for a big-city opera in the winter and patched worn Carhartts with artistic flair. One year, she sewed hiking kilts for her crew, pleated nylon complete with Fastek buckles. Annie was quirky, with crushes on new boys every year, but was most faithful to her mountain bike, which she rode, fearless, leaving her dates in the dust with skinned knees, hearts pounding.
Then there was Abby, a legend by the time I arrived. She'd been a crew leader for years, and she left Glacier my second season for a trails job in Alaska. Abby had the kind of upper-body strength most women never attain. She ran ultramarathons before they were hip and baked memorable brownies. She wielded the chainsaw fast, slashing through limbs above her head, putting in face cuts in seconds. People spoke of her respectfully; she was competent, but also a little rash. Who knew what she'd do?
Friends and Role Models
I apprenticed myself to these women. I studied them, envied their tight-veined hands, tanned wrinkles shooting from their eyes, their easy cussing and the way they strode in their logging boots. At first, I felt pale and skinny in contrast, my hands soft from books, bootlaces always untied. I couldn't ski. I hated Miller Lite. Years later, now that I've been the longtimer younger women looked to, I wonder if Reba and Annie and Abby and Sherri felt like role models. Whether they guessed I wanted what they had, even if I didn't know exactly what it was.
Sixteen years after our first season together, Reba is still a friend. She's a nurse now, and lives south of Glacier with two lively girls and her husband, Rob, a timber framer. Their annual Christmas letters boast photos of Reba hiking in the park with her daughters, past rock walls we built. Annie writes me a postcard once in a while. She's been back to school again, had what our mothers call a "real job" in the Midwest, but kept her house in Montana. Abby and Sherri moved on to other parks and we haven't been in touch.
But when I sharpen a hand tool or drop my knee into a telemark turn, when I teach a newbie to place rocks in a wall that will outlast us both, I think of those women in their flannel shirts and tank tops and work pants, marching around in the sun, packs over their shoulders, modeling for me a possibility. I didn't know then about their worries and insecurities, didn't guess about the eating disorder, fights with a new husband, the joints wearing out, wanting to fall in love for real. Later, I'd see their faults--short-tempered, quick to blame--and also the fullness that comes from vulnerability.
But first, I saw toughness, that assurance and vigor. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Week 2 still has the Wings on top, but the Bruins are moving in the right direction thanks to some extra offense.
Meet Marc Savard, NHL sniper. No player gets less credit for the points he puts up than Savard, now in his third season with the Bruins.
by Ryan Dixon - October 14, 2008 2:11 PM UTC
Our initial ranking of the NHL's 30 clubs has the defending champs on top, but the Sabres making hay.
Maybe Buffalo's bounce-back year was just a season in the making. Even after the Sabres lost Chris Drury and Daniel Briere just hours apart in the summer of 2007, most pundits thought there was enough talent left for the team to slide into a playoff spot.
by Mike Brophy - April 7, 2008 3:37 PM UTC
In the last edition of the 2007-08 Power Rankings, the Wings reclaim the No. 1 spot while the Caps and Preds make big gains.
Now that was a great regular season! Fans of the National Hockey League were treated to playoff races that went down to the wire; Alex Ovechkin played with heart and likely earned himself a Hart, while even an old dude like Jeremy Roenick proved he had something left in the tank when just about everybody was convinced he was running on fumes.
by Mike Brophy - March 31, 2008 3:05 PM UTC
Thanks to a slow start, the post-season may not be in the cards for the Capitals, but we'll still put them in our top 16.
Give the Washington Capitals props. While they may not make the playoffs, you have to admire their late-season push to get there. The Caps have won eight of their past 10 games, including their past four in a row.

The San Jose Sharks hold top spot, but the Red Wings are back. Meanwhile the Devils and Stars are headed in the wrong direction.
Who says the regular season has no meaning? With just a handful of games remaining, there were plenty of tilts to be played with playoff implications.
by Mike Brophy - March 17, 2008 1:27 PM UTC
The ultra-hot San Jose Sharks take over top spot in this week's list of the NHL's teams ranked one through 30.
The Dallas Stars' stay atop The Hockey News' Power Rankings didn't last long. With five wins and five losses in their past 10 games, the Stars have slipped to seventh overall in the NHL and are showing serious signs of slowing down and not becoming the powerhouse team they appeared to be at the trade deadline.
by Mike Brophy - March 10, 2008 3:17 PM UTC
Things are coming together at the right time for the San Jose Sharks as they're making a push up the standings and our weekly team countdown.
And with 13 games remaining, the Sharks have a legitimate shot at ending second behind the Detroit Red Wings. There are a number of reasons why the Sharks are among the best teams in the NHL, including outstanding goaltending and coach Ron Wilson's ability to get his team to pay attention to defensive detail.
by Mike Brophy - March 4, 2008 11:38 AM UTC
There's a new team on top of the NHL's food chain. The Dallas Stars edge the Anaheim Ducks in this week's power rankings as the Red Wings drop to No. 3.
There is a new king of the castle. While the Detroit Red Wings still rank No. 1 in the overall standings, it is clear in recent weeks they are no longer the NHL's best team.
by Mike Brophy - February 25, 2008 7:29 PM UTC
The Red Wings cling on to the top spot, with the Stars, Devils and Ducks all in hot pursuit in this week's Power Rankings.
Don't look now, but the Anaheim Ducks are mighty again. While the Detroit Red Wings continue to disintegrate before our very eyes, the defending Stanley Cup champions are looking very much like a team that could be the first champion to repeat since the Red Wings of 1997 and 1998.
by Mike Brophy - February 19, 2008 2:14 PM UTC
The Red Wings still hold on to the No. 1 spot in this week's one-through-30 rankings of the NHL teams, but the Dallas Stars, they of only one loss in their past 10, are hot on Detroit's heals.
It's almost here: trade deadline day. We will see over the next few days which teams will identify themselves as buyers, with an eye toward this year's playoffs, and which will be sellers, hoping to improve themselves for next year and beyond.
by Mike Brophy - February 11, 2008 7:10 PM UTC
After a tough week the Red Wings are still flying high, but the Senators are gearing up for a run at them.
Talk about a bad week for the Detroit Red Wings. Not only did they get shocked by Toronto Saturday, they returned home to lose the battle of the Titans the following day, a home defeat to Anaheim.
by Mike Brophy - February 4, 2008 3:02 PM UTC
The Wings continue to roll, but the Wild's excellent play of late has them creeping up this week's edition of The Hockey News Power Rankings.
Does the Minnesota Wild remind you of anyone? Like, say, the Montreal Canadiens championship clubs of the '70s – big, fast and defense-oriented.

2. Banaue cultural festival from April 28 to May 1
From April 28, 2005 to May 1, 2005, Banaue will hold the 8th Imbayah Cultural Festival: "Breaking the Cultural Barriers: Meeting the Challenges of the Times." "Imbayah" comes from the word "bayah," which means "rice wine." It is Banaue's grandest celebration, marking the elevation of a common family to nobility. In modern times, this community festival showcases the best in Banaue's cultural heritage, drawing tourists from all over the Philippines and around the world to see Ifugao sing, dance, and play traditional games dressed in full native regalia.
The cultural festival is preceded by 9 nights of merry-making, dancing and chanting at the Market Plaza. The Imbayah will be officially kicked off with an opening ritual or "Baki" to be held on April 28 at 1:00 PM in the Market Plaza, followed by a concert at the ICS gym. On April 29, a dancing parade will be held starting at 7:30 on the ICS grounds. An agro-industrial fair will be held at the newly-constructed Municipal Market Building, followed by musical competition, a variety show, and a street party. April 30 opens with a street dancing contest at 7:30 at the LGU Extension Office in Ilogue, ethnic games and craft competitions, and various races to be held at the Market Plaza. At 7:00 on May 1, hiking enthusiasts can tackle the Bannawor trail. This will be followed by more competitions and the closing ceremony.
Visitors are invited to come experience Banaue at its best. For more information, contact Jerry U. Dalipog, municipal mayor of Banaue.

This is joyful music. The fluency, empathy, and excitement on display in August 1993 are still breathtaking; for my money that month (handily captured in SBD recordings!) marks the dividing line between the swell-party-band period of Phish's career and their decade-long bid for the title of Best Improvisatory Group in America. Not to say there's nothing good before 8/93 - obviously that's not the case. But listen to, say, 2/20/93, this show, 5/7/94, 11/30/94, and anything from Summer '95 and you're hearing two or three different bands, never mind the group that emerged from the winter '97 Europe tour with news to share.

This show was part of the "1993 Summer Tour."
This is joyful music. The fluency, empathy, and excitement on display in August 1993 are still breathtaking; for my money that month (handily captured in SBD recordings!) marks the dividing line between the swell-party-band period of Phish's career and their decade-long bid for the title of Best Improvisatory Group in America. Not to say there's nothing good before 8/93 - obviously that's not the case. But listen to, say, 2/20/93, this show, 5/7/94, 11/30/94, and anything from Summer '95 and you're hearing two or three different bands, never mind the group that emerged from the winter '97 Europe tour with news to share.
It's so bracing to listen to Phish in '93, with everything played with such crazed energy and exuberance, and that comes across in the first set of this show, with a tense and repetitive Stash that roils and churns before returning to the main theme, a well-played mid-set Fluffhead, and a big-time Bowie with a lovely My Favorite Things tease in the extended intro and a jam that swings back and forth between the usual quiet Bowie jam and some uptempo, atonal rocking (as was Phish's style at the time), throwing in some jazziness just for fun. But, naturally, it's the second set that makes this show so beloved, and it starts with one of the best ever set openers in Buried Alive. Rift comes next, then a legendary Gin, and @MiguelSanchez is not exaggerating when he says this is one of the best jams Phish had played up to that point.
The usual Gin jam gets weird and messy right off the bat (hard not to smile at whoever's saying "TUB" an inch away from his mic), even as the band sticks with the Gin theme, then the band starts picking up the pace and we get a *glorious* Weekapaug jam, as powerful as any of the best Weekapaugs themselves are. Trey suddenly starts ripping into a Gin solo as the rest of the group stays Weekapaug (and Fish yells random stuff into his mic like he's Flava Flav), and then the group just starts slowing down and speeding up the tempo at will, almost like they want us to know how proud they are of their own talents. After a few minutes of madness, the jam slows nearly to a crawl (allowing Leo to throw in an organ sting or two), then finally picks back up one more time for Trey to lead the band gloriously into Ya Mar. This Gin really needs to be heard to be believed; you might be put off by the weirdness of the whole thing if you haven't heard much '93 Phish, but the sheer thrill of much of the jam will appeal to any Phish fan.
Ya Mar is as fun as usual, Cactus laying down some bombs as is his wont, then the band launches into the night's last big jam, a Mike's Song for the Phish fan scrapbook. The jam starts out clanking and clattering (and sounding Simple-ish?), then turns into a surprising Page showcase (Trey sits back on this part, even more surprising for a '93 jam), before the jam turns surprisingly melodic (as the jam chart says) and anthemic, Trey hammering away and yelling into the mic with Page really going to work on the organ. We get a big heavy metal-type close with some truly nasty riffing, then a sly return to the main Mike's Song jam, which leads into a charming Lifeboy as palate cleanser. The rest of the set is a nice way to close things out, and Highway To Hell is the perfect encore for a loud, wild, brilliant night of music. 20 years on, this show still has the power to thrill - if you haven't listened yet, get on LivePhish tout suite, and make sure you keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
So this was the second show I made it into, and I say that because it was the fourth show I tried to go to. First, at 12/3/92, the show was sold out and I couldn't get a ticket. On 4/20/93 I actually made it in. On 8/6/93, my friend's dad would not let him drive us (even though I already had the ticket). So when 8/13/93 came along I had to start taking matters in to my own hands because one out of three sucks; I was wasting my youth. So this time I didn't have a ride, and I didn't have a drivers license. But, my parents were out of town. I decided to test my driving skills because... hey, I had a temporary permit, and I had just turned sixteen. So I made the two and a half hour drive, and damn, I was a good driver!
So we entered the Murat Theatre, and for those of you that have never been there it is beautiful, even though it was run by one of those secret societies (Shriners I think). Very ornate, and not very crowded. So at this time I was not too familiar with all the songs, but the one song that stands out vividly was the "Mike's Song". Not only the music, but the stage antics. Somebody was having fun with the smoke machine, and Trey was running around like a madman using his guitar as an axe, chopping through the fog. And I think it was Mike screaming the "Stranglehold" teases, which confused me for a long time because I expected all the "Mike's Song"s to have the screaming in it. It wasn't till years later when I actually heard "Stranglehold" on the radio. And I realized "Mike's Song" was very influenced by Ted Nugent. As for the "Gin": it rocked, and Page was banging on his piano (I guess he was still breaking it in). And they sent us out on the "Highway to Hell". This is still so crystal clear in my memory. I've got to say, I love AC/DC, and Phish rocked the song. I am still waiting to hear another one.
This was, and still is, my favorite show. My friend Cathy and I left Chicago in the afternoon. Three hours later we found the Murat and there was a "lot scene" at a Phish show for the first time that I had seen. Two guys were selling beer and four others were hackey sacking.
Cathy and I hung out, I had a couple beers and we waited to meet our friend Courtney at the show. When we got inside we realized that this theatre was strange, not very big at all. Senior citizens sold the beers inside. You had to buy a ticket from one of them and then get in line for a can of beer poured into a cup. It was like a cheap wedding.
As we entered the theatre they opened with "Lengthwise" that went into a raging "Llama". One of my favorite (and my first) "Makisupa" followed, and it was much longer than the standard ones today. It flowed into a sizzlin' "Foam". Other first set highlights included "Ginseng Sullivan", a rocking "Fluffhead" and a set closing "David Bowie" with "Magilla" teases and a Friday the 13th jam. So fun.
Right before the second set started, a guy came out onstage saying that if we didn't quit smoking the show as going to end. Phish came out and answered with one of the best sets ever. "Buried Alive" > "Rift", one of the best "Bathtub Gin"s into (at the time) a rare "Yamar". The "Mike's Song" from this show is the stuff of legend, then into "Lifeboy" and an "Oh Ke Pa" > "Suzy". After an "Amazing Grace", "Highway To Hell" encore I was ready for the next night in Chicago. I think I like the way Andy Bernstein reviewed this show for the Pharmer's Almanac many years ago- "This show was so good, even "Lifeboy" made me cringe"- my sentiments exactly.
also, as an indiana phish fan, i believe this is their first stop in indy. of course, they played in '93 at the murat. they followed that with another strong showing in '94; although good, it does not compare to '93. then in '95 they took the big leap to deer creek.
anyway, as for this show, it starts out in fine/weird form with a nice little lengthwise. it works nicely into a red hot llama. i really like the makisupa>foam pairing that follows. these two songs worked really well off of each other. they really cut loose for the first time in stash. they fiddle with weekapaugh for the first time of the night. this theme would pop up again. they brink it back home after a typically dark stash jam. a snappy ginseng warms the crowd up for a mind bending fluff head. i really like how they were playing this song in aug of '93. as much improvising as they were doing in this era, you can not overlook how well they were playing the tougher composed songs. mmgamoio keeps the energy up. horn is always a welcome addition, but the bowie closer is really hopping. i love the magilla teases in here. this is a very sharp and focused version.
well, you cannot argue with a good, rowdy buried alive opener. this one gets the crowd going. i'm not a huge fan of rift but hey, bathtub is next, bubs. at this point in their career, this was far and away the best version of this song played. in fact, it may have been the best jam they had ever played. they fiercely explore the bathtub theme, but they start spreading their wings pretty quickly. eventuntually, they hit on a nice weekapaugh jam. they have a vewry good weekapaugh/bt gin/improvasatory thing going before finally drifting into a very fun, jammy yamar. well, surely, they will slow down now. ha, after letting weekapaugh jams pop out throughout the show, they play a very rare weekapaugh'less mike's groove. this mike's song is a real screamer. trey real sinks his teeth into this one. the rest of the band is pretty smoking too. eventually, like they would later do at the creek in '96, they let this hard hitting mike's song drift into a chilling life boy. oh kee>suzy is fun, and it lightens the mood before completely mellowing out with amazing grace. there's one more curveball on the way. nothing like following up amazing grace with highway to hell. highway fits this encore slot really well, and it closes a killer show out in fine form.
phish really made their mark on indy. while deer creek shows may not be the mad house they were from 96-2000, there is still much love for phish in indy(iana), and this show really got the ball rolling.
set 1:
length>llama, makisupa>foam, fluff head, bowie

MARION— On Friday, Oct. 12, the public is invited to enjoy another installment of the Sippican Historical Society's popular program, Classic Film Fridays. One Friday each month, the society presents a classic movie and offers a discussion on its historical context or significance. October's film is "Patton," a portrayal of the controversial military leader whose skills led the US into the most famous and pivotal battles of the war in Europe.
Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1970, the film shows General Patton to be an extraordinary and complicated figure: beloved and despised, charismatic and contentious. "Patton" stars George C. Scott and Karl Malden, and was described by the Wall Street Journal as, "One of the most superlative American films."
Classic Film Fridays are held at the Marion Music Hall (164 Front St.) and are offered free of charge to the public. Films begin at 7 p.m., and refreshments are available. For more information, contact the SHS at 508-748-1116.

Cheery blankets given to children
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 10:06 a.m.
On the second Friday of each month, the craft room at the Center for Building Hope buzzes with Blanket Bees.
Armed with fabric and scissors, the Blanket Bees lovingly craft warm fleece blankets to give to area children who are dealing with the treatment or loss of a family member to cancer.
The Sarasota Area Tri-Delta Alumnae Chapter started the local program in 2011 as part of the sorority's national focus on helping children who are dealing with cancer.
Tri-Delta members host fundraising events to pay for the fabric and supplies, and the Blanket Bee founder and chairwoman, Glenda Edwards, creates the patterns for the double-sided blankets.
Once a month, chapter members are joined at the Center for Building Hope in Lakewood Ranch by cancer survivors and women receiving treatment. They assemble the blankets by cutting and tying off fabric ribbons around the perimeter; no sewing is necessary.
Completed blankets are delivered to children at Camp Healing Hearts in Bradenton and to area children's hospitals.
"What's nice is that it's a very low-key thing, but very uplifting," Tri-Delta alumna and cancer survivor Laurie Halladay said. "The women start talking while they work. Sometimes they talk about their treatments; other times, everyone laughs and sings together. Your hands are busy and your mind is cheered, and you get to walk away feeling positive because you've done something good for someone else."
Andrea Feldmar, program director at Center for Building Hope, noted the value of the Blanket Bees.
"The participants are all people who have been touched by cancer, and it's a good opportunity for them to give back," Feldmar said. "When you come here, you're not walking into that dark cave you felt like when you received that diagnosis. This is a healing, hopeful place."
Edwards received the Tri-Delta sorority's Ernestine Block Grigsby Award in 2010 when she started the original Blanket Bee as an extension of the Tri-Deltas' work with K.I.D.S. by the Sea, a support organization for families with children battling cancer.
"I felt very honored, but shocked that I won an award just for tying knots," Edwards said. "This is the kind of thing you don't do for the recognition; you do it because it's the right thing to do."

I was faced by a question by my teacher yesterday while I was studying in her classroom
She asked me this:
"What do you think of Reality TV Shows? Could it be harmful to society?"
I answered:
"I think Reality TV Shows are a bit awful. They are quite funny but my brother is acting stupid because of it."
I forgot what she said about it but I remember her saying it was "making the society dumb".
I want to know what you think of those types of shows.
(Sorry for using too much Reality TV Shows)

Muting of Floridians: Don't Shush Public
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
In a perfect state, a pair of anti-shushing bills filed in the Legislature would not be necessary to ensure the right of Floridians to speak before public bodies before they take official actions.
But as Sen. Joe Negron recently told the Senate's Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee, some taxing authorities and special districts have refused to hear public comments before voting on key policies or projects.
In an instance that made headlines, the St. Johns River Water Management District refused to allow William Stetson Kennedy — a former writer, who spent years crusading for civil rights — to speak during a meeting during which the district's board considered construction of a water-treatment plant.
Other opponents of the project were allowed to speak but, because of time constraints and a large crowd, Kennedy wasn't given time to address the board. He sued in 2009, alleging his constitutional right to speak in public had been violated.
Trial and appeals courts ruled against Kennedy, however, casting doubt on the extent of the public's right to speak during government meetings.
Senate Bill 50, introduced by Negron, a Republican from Florida's East Coast, seeks to address the doubt.
Fortunately, the bill passed the Senate's oversight committee 8-0 on Feb. 6. The legislation deserves additional support in the Legislature. (In the House of Representatives, HB 23 is sponsored by Rep. Ray Wesley Rodrigues, R-Estero.)
The Senate and House bills aim to ensure that "members of the public" are given "a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before a board or commission."
Both versions contain provisions that would provide local government boards or state commissions, including water districts, flexibility in managing public input.
For instance, "the opportunity to be heard need not occur at the same meeting at which the board or commission takes official action" — so long as the comments are made "within reasonable proximity in time" before a decision is made.
Although the terms in the proposed legislation are vague, they emphasize a reasonable approach. Importantly, they re-establish the Florida principle: the right to speak before governmental bodies about decisions affecting the public.

A hotkey to open the main window would solve my only gripe with pms.
I have one PC running XP, which has accounts for my kids and myself, I have the server installed as a service. On 1st login after a restart, the icon for pms appears in my notification area, on subsequent logins, kids or mine it doesn't matter which, the icon doesn't appear again.
Having a hotkey setup to open the server, would save me having to restart the service every time i want to change something.
Yeah okay, I'm a bit lazy, but it's ever such a small request.
Thanks for your time, love the program anyway.

Hi all,
I have tried the latest Beta build and realized it wont push 1080p to my PS3 without stuttering. Newest Beta Version and latest Stable version
Win Box: Pentium D 3.6 with 1G Ram with Windoze 7. Cat 5 hard connection
I then, out of curiosity since it worked with 720p, tried my IMAC. PS3 Media server 1.2
Imac: 2.4 Core 2 Duo with 4G Ram, Snow Leopard, Wireless N
Everything ran smoothly. I thought for sure the wired connection would work better even thought the processor is not as powerful. Any ideas what would be required for an upgrade to get the Windoze box to work as it has all my movies on it and now have to copy whatever I want to watch to the Imac to stream it.

LIVERMORE, Calif. - The new HD Grit, part of the Harley-Davidson Performance Eyewear line from Wiley X Inc., is packed with vision-enhancing features that eliminate glare and reduce the halo effects caused by some polarized lenses, the company reports.
The Grit has a sleek design and provides a snug fit. Special rubberized nose pads and temple grips add to wearing comfort and keep the glasses in place during long rides on hot, bumpy roads.
The Grit features wraparound styling and has the standard Wiley X ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety rating, providing riders with clear, unobstructed views of road surface/contour, digital gauges and rapidly changing surroundings, plus protection against a range of highway hazards.
The HD Grit incorporates Wiley X's exclusive Partial Polarized (PPZ) lenses, based on the company's shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate construction and proven eight-layer Filter 8 polarizing technology. With 14 percent light transmission and 70 percent polarization, the lens "provides the glare-cutting advantages of Wiley X polarization while maintaining the distortion-free vision daytime riders need. These breakthrough PPZ lenses provide crystal clear viewing of digital gauges, which often have their own UV coating. This same technology provides riders with a high-definition view of the riding surface at all angles -- even when looking through a bike's windshield. These advanced lenses feature an additional frontal layer of Silver Flash, Multi-Coat Z-Oxide Mirror over the Smoke tint, further absorbing environmental glare and providing clear, unobstructed vision," the company stated.
"We looked at the conditions and environments in which riders enjoy their passion - a constantly changing surface, passing from bright sun to shade and back again, and constant glare from nearby cars, buildings and objects. We took all these things into consideration and using our vision expertise, we set out to develop the ultimate lens for daytime riding," said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman Jr. "New PPZ lens technology eliminates glare without the distortion or halo effects caused by some polarized lenses in a riding environment. The result is a crystal-clear view of the road and your surroundings that's like watching High Definition TV," Freeman added.

The Stetson Kennedy Papers
The Papers of Stetson Kennedy, firebrand activist, writer and folklorist of the American South, were officially dedicated at the University of Florida (UF) on October 22, 2013. Kennedy, best known for exposés on the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s, attended the University of Florida in 1935 but chaffed at the demands of college classes. Instead, he joined the ranks of the New Deal-era Federal Writers Project, then preparing the American Guide Series on Florida, where he worked with Zora Neale Hurston and Alan Lomax, learned the art of oral history, and began to speak out against the Jim Crow laws of racial discrimination.
In a life that spanned almost a century, and a writing career of some 80 years, Stetson Kennedy (1916-2011) epitomized the energy and drive of American social activism. Now his thoughts and works are preserved at UF, the school he always regarded as his alma mater, joining those of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Zora Neale Hurston as part of the literary manuscripts of Special Collections, George A. Smathers Libraries.
Besides his association with Hurston and Rawlings, Kennedy's writings and advocacy for social justice brought him into contact with Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Richard Wright, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Studs Terkel, Erskine Caldwell and Florida freedom fighters Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore. Many of his books have become classics, including Palmetto Country (1942), Southern Exposure (1946) and The Klan Unmasked (1954). But it was only in the 1990s, when he was in his seventies, that accolades started to roll in, with more than 35 honors. He was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2005.

In Latin, the word stratum is singular and its plural form is strata. In English, this distinction is maintained. It is therefore incorrect to use strata as a singular: a new stratum was uncovered (not a new strata was uncovered). It is also wrong to create the form stratums or stratas as the plural: a series of overlying strata (not overlying stratums or overlying stratas).
Late 16th century (in the sense 'layer or coat of a substance'): modern Latin, from Latin, literally 'something spread or laid down', neuter past participle of sternere 'strew'.

Lately I've been feeling like that 12-year-old boy on whom all the girls in school have a crush: The more I offer them nothing besides my sheer indifference, the more their collective heart swells for me.
In this scenario, my daughters are the schoolgirls to my lothario. I'm not sure what I've done to become the sole object of their undying adoration, especially since I haven't a fraction of the acid-washed wardrobe of the New Kids on the Block, carefully sculpted mustaches and goatees of the Backstreet Boys, or Justin Bieber's sweeping bangs. But I'm on the cover of their imaginary Tiger Beat magazine every week regardless, with the centerfold and the back page also devoted to my total awesomeness.
Every time I make an appearance, it's as if I've been gone for an eternity, and my return is as miraculous as Jesus' resurrection, complete with confetti, a smoke machine and a rainbow array of Peeps.
"Mommy!" my 4-year-old daughter, Petunia, exclaims with glee, rushing over to hug and kiss me. "I missed you so much! Did you have a good time in the bathroom?"
Peony, 1, waddles over to me like a penguin on crack, grinning from ear to ear and waving her arms inanely in a gesture indicating she must be held by me immediately lest she risk death by a thousand broken hearts. And that's just when I walk from one end of the room to the other and back.
I'm pretty sure Peony wants me because I'm kind of her security blanket, essentially the most consistent presence in her life in the 13 months since she was born. And I suspect Petunia's interest in me is in direct correlation to Peony's because whatever Peony has is exactly what Petunia wants, including and especially the air in her lungs (which would explain why Petunia so often seems to be trying to squeeze it out of Peony via her neck and chest).
My poor husband, Rick, is constantly doing a figurative microphone check to ensure his is on because lately he can't occasion so much as a grimace from either girl if I'm around. Or, rather, that's about all he can get.
The other night while I was cooking, I asked Rick to keep Peony entertained outside the kitchen to minimize her risk of getting splattered with the hot oil bubbling on the stovetop. He sat on the floor in the den and launched into his one-man band routine - singing, dancing and acting out all the parts of Old MacDonald's Farm in a performance worthy of Oscar gold.
There were lights flashing, bells ringing and music playing. He was the equivalent of a hot tub in the cafeteria, and still, all Peony wanted was to be exactly where I was, hugging the back of my legs, burns and subsequent skin grafts be damned.
It was probably silly to have Rick even try, as no one-man band, or any band, really, can compete with The Beatles, whom it appears as if I am to my girls, circa 1964. And when I push Petunia and Peony out of my arms because I have to do something more pressing, such as wipe myself or buckle them into a car seat, they're like those girls in the audience at "The Ed Sullivan Show" who fainted from the emotional trauma of being so near their heartthrobs and yet so far away.
The whole thing is flattering, yes, but only until you realize there's a fine line between reverence and felony stalking. It's not like Peony lacks for companionship. Rick enjoys nothing more than having her in his lap, her head resting on his shoulder, eating breakfast together and taking walks in the backyard exploring the flora and fauna. One sight of me, however, and it's all over. As soon as my eyes lock with Peony's, no matter how quickly I look away, she wants what she wants, and it's always Mommy.
On our recent trip to Disney World, Petunia was so taken with me that she insisted I was the only one allowed to push her stroller - because even though she couldn't see me, she needed to know I literally had (or was at) her back.
I'm enjoying the attention and affection while it lasts - not to mention the zero effort I have to put forth to elicit my daughters' giggles, belly laughs, warm hugs and endless streams of kisses - because surely the day will come when I reach out to hold one of their hands or look in their general direction and they'll shoot ice bombs at me from their eyes as they steer clear of me like houses that give out toothbrushes and raisins on Halloween.
Yet while I know I should be loving feeling like a rock star and savoring every sweet minute of their infatuation, when I can't move from the kitchen table to the sink without at least one of my children literally hanging on my knees and threatening to draw tears like Gale Sayers in "Brian's Song" if I shake her off, it's still kind of hard to see the forest for the really, really clingy trees.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Zheng Cao, a popular and spirited mezzo-soprano who performed regularly with the San Francisco Opera, died after a long battle with lung cancer at her home Thursday night.
She was 46.
Cao, who was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer in 2008, most famously performed in the starring role of "The Bonesetter's Daughter" in 2008. San Francisco Opera director David Gockley stated in a news release that Zheng's 16 appearances with the company were "always warmly received and noticed," and when she rose to the top, Zheng proved it to be a place "where she always belonged."
But Gockley said there was much more to Cao than her voice.
"She infused every life situation around her with a sense of great joy, fun and heartfelt sincerity," he said. "Zheng had so many wonderful relationships with everyone she encountered; they were so heartfelt and beautiful, and she truly touched all of us in the most remarkable way."
When she was diagnosed with cancer, doctors believed she had only months to live. But with treatment, doctors managed to shrink tumors that had spread to her liver, neck and spine, and she lived another three years.
On stage with close friend and mentor Frederica von Stade in a 2011 concert at Herbst Theatre in Berkeley, Cao described how von Stade sang with her at the hospital to aid her recovery. A tearful Cao then broke into "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Rogers and Hammerstein, bringing the crowd to its feet.
Born in China during the Cultural Revolution, Zheng came to the United States in the late 1980s with few possessions and began to make a name for herself on stage. In 1994, she was named a fellow by the Merola Opera Program, which announced a scholarship in her name after she was diagnosed with cancer.
Cao also worked with the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation.

A hazard and insurance company contacted Eagle Police recently to report the theft of kitchen cabinets, appliances and plumbing from a home that had recently been foreclosed.
The insurance company requested that a case number be assigned to the report because of its obligation to notify law enforcement in such cases.
The insurance company said the foreclosure was finalized on Nov. 9, 2011. In its detail of missing property, the company listed kitchen cabinets, the kitchen sink, range, microwave, vent hood and dishwasher as the specific items improperly removed from the home.
The company told Eagle Police no other action was required in the case.
On Feb. 22, a bracelet was turned into the front desk of the Eagle County Sheriff's Office. The bracelet was found in the hallway of the Eagle County Justice Center.
The bracelet will be held for 90 days by Eagle Police before it is discarded. To claim the jewelry, call 328-6351.
An Eagle Police officer was on foot patrol in a commercial area in town when she heard a loud crash and spotted a gray truck backing over a landscaped median in a parking area.
According to the police report, as the officer watched, the truck peeled out and attempted to leave the parking area. The officer ran across the lot toward the exit and when she reached the truck it was rolling backwards as if it had come out of gear. The vehicle was located about 50 feet from the median.
After stopping the driver, the officer noted that a tree branch was hanging off the back of the vehicle and a tree was laying flat in the median area.
When contacted, the driver said he accidentally put his foot on the wrong pedal. The officer asked if the man had been drinking and he admitted to consuming a single beer.
The driver was able to produce his license and registration, but his insurance card was expired. He said the accident had caught him by surprise and that his foot had gotten caught between the truck pedals.
A second officer arrived on the scene and noted there was open alcoholic container in the vehicle.
The driver was unable to satisfactorily complete roadside maneuvers and was taken into custody. He elected to have a blood test and was transported to Vail Valley Medical Center. The second officer visited a nearby bar and obtained a copy of the man's receipt, which showed he purchased three shots of Jagermeister and two bottles of beer the same evening as the incident.
The man was charged with DUI, no proof of insurance, open alcoholic container in motor vehicle and unsafe vehicle backing.
• Police were called to the Eagle Villas on a report that someone intentionally broke the siding on Building No. 4 on Jan. 30. Video surveillance footage of the incident showed the crime, but the identity of the perpetrators could not be determined.
• A teacher from Eagle Valley Middle School found screws in two of her car tires after some co-workers reported seeing three students hanging out around the vehicle. When contacted the students said they were just playing in the area and did not know anything about the damage.
• Police were dispatched to an Eagle home Feb. 7 when a father reported his daughter brought home a handgun she had found in a nearby parking lot. When police checked the gun's serial number, there was no criminal history associated with the weapon. Officers interviewed nearby residents but no one reported missing the gun. The weapon was placed into police evidence for safekeeping.

STOCKTON - An elderly man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Friday after shooting his stepson during a domestic dispute with his wife in a north Stockton neighborhood, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. in the 9800 block of Gentle Ben Court, just west of Lower Sacramento Road, officers said. According to police, 73-year-old Curtis Somoskey was involved in a domestic violence incident with his wife when the woman called her son for help.
The woman's son argued with Somoskey on the phone and then went to the home on Gentle Ben Court to intervene, police said. When the woman's son arrived, Somoskey fired three shots at him, striking the victim once in an extremity, authorities said.
The victim was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, police said.
Somoskey was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, domestic violence and battery, authorities said. He was being held without bail at San Joaquin County Jail.

Attention families everywhere: it's time to trek to Blue Ridge, Georgia
Just under two hours north of Atlanta, my family of four savored a recent getaway at Mountain Top Cabin Rental's Five Star View cabin, overlooking Blue Ridge Lake, in Blue Ridge, Georgia. With all the modern luxuries a family could yearn for, one look around had us wanting to extend our stay.
We fueled up at nearby Iron Bridge Cafe, a roadside restaurant along Aska Road offering views of the Toccoa River and serving lunch staples like BBQ and grilled cheese sandwiches with no-frill sides.
Next, it was off to The Lilly Pad, where mining for gems set us back only $15 while creating priceless memories. Onsite mini golf and fishing are unlimited.
Blue Ridge boasts miles of trails through the Aska and Benton MacKaye Trail system. Take U.S. Forestry Road 816 three miles off Highway 60 to a 260-foot suspension bridge, a "tickle-your-ears bumpy drive" (in the words of a two-year-old) that is worth the bumps, if just for the view and peaceful ripple of the Toccoa River.
Evening hunger pangs were satiated at Joe's BBQ, where a sign on the door sets the tone with instruction to ring the bell if the door is locked but Joe's truck is out front. Fall-off-the-bone pork and chicken, coupled with sides like macaroni and cheese, mean stick to your ribs eats that can't be beat. Joe took our order, asked about our stay, and left us feeling stuffed and like less of a tourist with his thorough welcome.
A must-experience attraction for kids and kids at heart is the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, which sent us choo-chooing over 26 miles of scenic countryside, most alongside the Toccoa River before laying over in McCaysville, Georgia, and then returning us to Downtown Blue Ridge. After chugga-chugging down the rails, we perused Downtown Blue Ridge boutiques.
Just before beginning plans for a return visit, we ended the weekend with a visit to Mercier Orchards – a chance to show the young ones where food really comes from. Check their Facebook page to find seasonal U-pick options for apples, strawberries and more.

Women's, Gender & Feminist Studies
In 1970, the field of women's, gender and feminist studies was launched and was able to thrive in the ensuing years. NCRW was established in 1982 to create a supportive network for the burgeoning women's research movement. Today, there are more than 900 women's studies programs in the US with more than 10,000 courses offered on college campuses. Much of the curriculum is interdisciplinary and, in many instances, mainstreamed across subject areas. From the social sciences to liberal arts, fine arts and the sciences, feminist theory and framing (especially the intersection of race, gender and class) is having an important impact across disciplines in academia and beyond.

Share your experiences with the Select Staffing Santa Barbara International Marathon & 1/2 Marathon below Back to event details page.
This event was poorly planned. I signed up for the half marathon and from beginning to end this half was the worst I have ever experienced. About 300 runners were taken by shuttle to the race start only to find out that the race had already started. As we ran the tables that provided water and or fuel were being taken down by the time we reached them. At the end we checked in items and went to pick up to find out that half the stuff I had in my check in bag was not in there. The staff supervising the booth was not even paying attention they were too busy talking with friends or checking their phones. I had to literally go past them and get my own stuff. I had someone tell me that they could easily take peoples backpacks and or jackets if they just leaned over and grabbed them. I told him to tell the person in charge, I was looking for my missing items. It was by far my worst running event. If you decide to go have someone drop you off at the race start or you won't get there in time. Also don't check in anything very irresponsible people in charge.
This is a beautiful race and the people cheering along the way were probably the best of any race I have ever been to. The only think I did not like was there was no mile markers until mile 4 and not a lot of water up until then either. I can't remember how much electrolite there was but I want to say not a ton but there was plenty of gu given out. The post race was awesome. I really like the race and you just can't beat Santa Barabar. Better than San Diego and Huntington Beach half marathons. Plus the hotel I stayed at gave a discounted rate for the race.

Will gas prices hit the $5 mark in 2013?
The good news for drivers is that most experts say no.
"I wouldn't be in agreement with that. In fact we're not seeing any major increase at all here," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com.
Article Photos
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Ray Waller Jr. of Marietta fuels his vehicle at the Speedway on Second Street where regular gas was selling for $3.11 Wednesday afternoon.
But he added that prices for regular unleaded could work their way into the upper $3 range, probably in April and May of this year.
"That's typically when maintenance is taking place on refineries and they're switching to a summer fuel mix, removing additives like butane," DeHaan said.
Bevi Powell, vice president of community relations at AAA East Central in Pittsburgh, agreed.
Fact Box
What's ahead
AAA continues to expect that gas prices in 2013 will average less than the annual record of $3.60 per gallon set last year.
This week's national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.30, seven cents less than one year ago.
In South Central Ohio this week's average price for a gallon of unleaded fuel is $3.265.
Last week's average price for the same area was $3.35.
During the week of Jan. 10, 2012, South Central Ohio's average fuel price was $3.43.
Source: AAA East Central.
"We're anticipating a lower average price this year, based on a plentiful supply of fuel and lower oil prices," she said. "Right now the price of oil is around $93 per barrel, and that's significantly lower than the $150 per barrel we saw back in 2008."
Powell said the national average price of gas in 2012 was $3.60, compared to $3.51 in 2011.
"(Wednesday) the national average was $3.30 a gallon," she added. "The highest price was $4.02 in Hawaii, and the lowest $2.89 in Utah."
DeHaan said there would have to be a major shift in the economy for gasoline prices to climb into the $5 range.
"That would take a huge jump in the gross domestic product and a surge in economic activity," he said. "But we're not seeing that in the coming year."
Powell noted that other uncontrollable factors may impact the price of gasoline, including tensions in the Middle East and storms like last year's Hurricane Sandy that can also increase demand on domestic oil production.
Warren Township resident Joe Vickers, 59, said he's always been fuel-conscious.
"I grew up in the country, and my parents taught us to make the most of trips into town," he said, adding that he makes it a point to pick up groceries or run other necessary errands on his way to and from work every day.
"But if gas goes to $5 a gallon one adjustment we would have to make is whether to visit our kids," Vickers said. "One of my daughters lives in Florida, and the other is in the military and moving to Nebraska."
He said higher gas prices would also likely force him to make less use of his Ford F-150 pickup truck.
"In fact, I'm considering the purchase of a more economical vehicle right now," Vickers added.
Marietta College grad Andrew Dembowski, 23, avoids making short trips in his car to save on gas.
"Most of the time I just walk," he said. "If I do drive it's usually only a long-distance trip."
Dembowski said $5 a gallon gas would be pretty steep for him, especially since he's moving to North Carolina, which is a six-hour drive.
Ray Waller Jr., 66, of Marietta said he, too, has already made adjustments to his driving habits, and would have to make even more changes if gas prices go higher.
"We'll have to watch where we go, and there would be no long trips," he said. "We'd just have to stay close to home."
