This week, on Monday Night Football the struggling St. Louis Rams will travel to CenturyLink Field to take on the resurgent Seattle Seahawks (ESPN, 8:30 p.m. EST).
The Seahawks find themselves in an interesting position coming into the game. With a 5-7 record, the Hawks are not yet out of the playoff hunt for a Wild Card spot. They must find a win tonight in order to stay alive in the race.
Despite an injury to quarterback Tarvaris Jackson that has prevented the Seahawks from throwing the ball effectively since the beginning of October, the team has managed to turn around a flagging season in recent weeks.
They have built up a great deal of momentum behind the powerful running of Marshawn Lynch and a series of stingy defensive performances.
Even if the Seahawks are not able to sneak into the playoffs this season, there will be plenty of positive momentum to build upon heading into the offseason. They blossomed late this season, but this team is ready for prime time.
Meanwhile, the Rams are a team that is headed in the opposite direction. Although quarterback Sam Bradford put together an excellent rookie season, it seems that he has slipped into a bit of a sophomore slump in 2011.
Of course, Bradford's flagging performance is due in large part to a series of injuries that have plagued the team on both sides of the ball. The injuries have been seemingly unstoppable, and have included Bradford himself as he has struggled with a high ankle sprain.
A midseason trade that brought wide receiver Brandon Lloyd into the fold has paid big dividends, but even that spark hasn't been enough to make the Rams a team of relevance this season.
At this point in the year, the Rams are out of the playoffs and in a position of playing spoiler. They will have much to play for tonight as they try to snuff out the Wild Card hopes of one of their division rivals.
Stay tuned for live analysis on these topics and more as the Rams and Seahawks battle it out on Monday Night Football.

Educational funding hangs in the balance while Board of Education officials await a federal decision that could cut costs by as much as $2.4 million in Barbour County.
Superintendent Dr. Joseph Super told the school board members Monday that the $2.4 million figure was based on a worst-case scenario where everything that could potentially go wrong does. He said he doesn't believe the toll will equate to that high of a number.
"We're just a little blip statewide to what's going to happen in some of these other counties, but we have taken that into consideration," Super said.
Board member Doward Matlick said that the state ordered local assessors to reach 60 percent of the actual market value on their property evaluations.
"As part of that law, if I understood it correctly, if your county assessor does not have the assessments (to) at least 54 percent, then school aid formula for your county is cut (by) 8 percent," Matlick said.
In preparation of the worst, Barbour County school administrators will review staffing and programs that may need to be cut for the school system to endure the potential budget changes.
"We are looking at everything. There will be no sacred cows in this situation," Super said. "When the levy went down, it drastically changed a lot of perspectives as to what we could be able to do going forward. Now it's going to represent a very serious tightening of the belt."
Super said his bottom line is to be able to run the school system while still being able to provide a quality education. He said it would take some real work from a number of people, including the school board, when tough recommendations are brought forth. He said those recommendations could result in staffing reduction.
"We know people's livelihoods, their professions and the quality of education is affected by what we're dealing with, and so we take it very seriously," Board president Bob Wilkins said. "It isn't pleasant, but it's a task that we've taken on. We're going to take care of it appropriately."
Super said that some grant funded programs are a concern because it is uncertain if the grant money will return the following school year.
"We are faced with some very serious concerns for next year related to staffing," Super said, adding that the school system is currently 3.09 positions over the funding formula for professionals.
Two positions that are cause for concern are technology system specialists, which are funded by grant money.
"I think we really, really need to be aware that two of those positions are soft monies, and we don't know if they're going to be there or not," Super said, adding that those concerns are coupled with what could potentially take effect if the government doesn't "come to grips with the financial cliff that is set to go into place Jan. 2, 2013."
Super said he was able to talk to a representative of the Superintendents Association, who told him that the current fiscal year budget would not be affected. The changes would take place the following school year.
"Right now, if the dominoes fall the wrong way, it's going to be a substantial loss of money to the school system," Super said. "That's going to be every school system in the state, every school system across the nation."
Super said that Barbour County receives a high percentage of federal funds, and the federal funds are what could be affected.
"We've been told that with state fundings, we can look at a 7.5 percent cut to education," Super said, adding that whatever is done on a federal level could affect what is done on a state level. The county school board will present a budget to the state school board by May.
Hearings will be conducted to address concerns from the public.
"We are in this together," Super said. "We've got to make this work somehow."

Save the Curiel-Reynolds SchoolPosted Friday, July 6, 2012, at 12:14 AM
School Board Meeting July 19
This is the latest: we can use any and all support at the school board meeting on July 19. Please read the rest of this blog and decide for yourself if you support the district throwing away $3 million potentially coming into Spencer in the next few years. If their policy is to kick out the Curiel school, then the $3 million will probably go to Plymouth County or somewhere else instead.
Why should I care about an art school?
You've heard the rumors, and a few of them are true. We had a fire. The back part of the school was burned, and it will take a lot to fix it. However, we have help from some experienced remodelers and volunteer labor.
We freely admit that for whatever reason, the insurance on the building had lapsed. Louis "Tony" Curiel, the school's director, takes responsibility for that, and he said so publicly at the school board meeting last month.
We've been busy cleaning up from the fire. My son, Dylon, was there every day for nearly two weeks while other students were away at a glass conference in Ohio. Tony Curiel was meant to join them in Ohio, but the fire broke out the day before he was scheduled to leave. Since the residential students have returned, they, especially Alec Welch, have worked hard to restore the parts that can be restored with a good scrubbing.
We could teach art classes in the building today.
The fire marshall has determined the cause of the fire undetermined. It started in the back lodging area where two students had their beds and other furnishings and possessions. There's no one thing that is said to have definitively caused it, so there is no use in engaging in speculation.
While we work with the school district to figure out the next step, we will continue cleaning and restoring what we can. We do have an attorney, someone from out of town who has worked with Tony on other things.
More importantly, we have had kind offers of support and help from the art community. Arts on Grand has asked what they can do. Jesse Bogenrief of Bogenrief studios has been by to help us.
If you didn't have insurance, why should I pay for your stupidity?
This was asked on the Daily Reporter's article about the school board meeting, and it is a fair question.
I would submit that the Curiel Reynolds school has given to the community far more than it has taken.
Tony Curiel paid $100,000 just to move in to the vacant Reynolds School building. Since then, he has paid about $40,000 more into the local tax base, between the taxes he has paid and the payments he has made on the note held by the school district. At this time, he owes about $55,000 on the note to the school district.
He has a second note for $15,000. This could be paid in full when they finish with the neon installation at the Rialto Theater in Pocahontas, Iowa.
About the $55,000. It seems like a lot of money for the school district to be out.
Will you think of it another way?
Tony Curiel and the stained glass apprentices have been working on the restoration of some windows at St. Mary's Church in Remsen, Iowa. The diocese is working with St. Mary's on the full restoration. I'm not sure how that all works, but if the Curiel Reynolds School was to receive the commission for the entire church -- 2,000 square feet of stained glass windows in that building -- the price would be estimated at $3 million over the course of a few years.
That $3 million could cycle through Spencer in the form of paying for more apprenticeships and other vendors for the project, and for increased spending on equipment and supplies for the school, groceries and sundries, remodeling materials, and miscellany (insurance!) spent here in Spencer.
If Tony and the school are not able to continue in Spencer, Tony would likely rent a building in or near Remsen for the time it would take for the full remodel. That would be $3 million spent in Plymouth County instead of Clay. Does that really make sense?
No, there is no guarantee that he will get the commission, or that it will be approved.
Whatever the outcome there, we also have the possibility of St. Joseph's Church in Salix, Iowa. This one is not $3 million, but it is a project that would far exceed the $55,000 needed to pay off the school district note.
What do we do now?
This drives me crazy. I'm not a numbers person, and I'm not that great with money, due to the fact that I've never had any as an adult. But it simply does not seem that $55,000 is an insurmountable amount of money for something that enhances life in our town so immensely.
Tony and Jon Curiel took a chance on Spencer when they came here from Detroit five years ago. They put in a lot more than $55,000 to get here.
Can we pass the hat and put in $55,000 now to get them out from under the note to the school? This is not enabling, nor will it solve all the issues of the school, but it will free CRVA to stay in Spencer, and to draw from here when we look for talented individuals ready to learn who would like to be part of the only Architectural Stained Glass Apprenticeship in the Midwest.
In 2005-2006, Spencer sought to become a major arts and cultural destination. This commitment, as it was explained to me by members of SPACE when I came here for a tour of Spencer (I was contemplating a job possibility) was strong and would endure. Has it played out? Would people come to Spencer to be culturally enhanced?
I'm a writer, my 19 year old son is a visual artist, my younger children are creatively talented as well, and my husband enjoys music, theater, and other arts. The arts opportunities of Spencer were part of the draw for us.
This was the same promise made to Tony Curiel by the city manager at the time. He was promised support for the arts as Spencer grew in its commitment to artists. He was kind of left out to dry.
The Curiel Reynolds School will take on anyone as a student, and help them learn at their own pace.
Watch the movie!
I am still learning iMovie, and Hollywood has not been courting me for my voiceover talent, but I hope what I have put together here will help you decide for yourself if you, as a member of this community, can lend support to CRVA.
I hope the answer is yes. $55,000. Can we raise it, or come close?

Amy have you talked to Arts on Grand? I know that they hold a party every year. Not sure what they do there, but I wonder if they could not bring this to the ppls attention. They talk on the radio all the time, and this would be great for this place. When you get a big orginization like them to stand behind you, usually the ppl will too! Slowly but surely. Talk to the dream center too. This would be a great way to get the kids involved. Talk to local churchs, if it is positive, they are usually slow but if you have a good presitation they will listen. My best suggestion is talk to Kevin Grimes. If you get him passionate about this, he sure can help ya!!!!
As far as the city is concerned, one thing I have learned about some of the ppl in that building, they suck and lie thru their teeth. They are a good sales person, but that is about it! I will ask around and see what else I can up with.
If you talk to the right ppl, they will come! Maybe if you or the Reporter does a big article on this, the right person might just read it, and start the ball rolling for ya! sorry keep coming up with ideas

It seems to me that Spencer only supports the arts if and when it is convenient / profitable to them other wise your SOL . I too made a very big investment in time and money in Spencer mainly because of what the arts where doing here , And now its like ghost town . JUST GOS TO SHOW HOW MANY WALMART SHOPPERS THEIR ARE OUT THERE !
I really feel for Tony he has brunted the load of that school and been handed the shaft, empty promises, and BS.

I think the people who want to see the building stay open (I personally am apathetic as I've never even been in the building nor have any intention of ever doing so) should pool their own funds and make that possible, and not "ask" the taxpayers (whether local or not) to fund something that isn't otherwise economically viable. That way nobody can be offended and if the money can or is raised, it will be obvious the "benefits" the community receives from it are actually worth what it costs the community. If not, then the "community" (there are only individual beneficiaries, not collective "communities" since not everyone is affected similarly) will have said they find the benefits outweigh the costs and it's NOT economically viable and therefore NOT a benefit.
There should be no taxpayer funding for any artistic endeavours. Art is by its very nature something you do for its own sake. By its very nature it is something you do, rather than something you watch or experience. If you don't do it yourself just for the sake of it, or you're doing it for others to watch it, or see it, it becomes entertainment. Nobody (in their right mind) would suggest taxpayers subsidize America's Got Talent. SCT charges for tickets rather than expecting subsidies. So should anybody else.
The difference between the economic and political models is you're saying *I* should care about "the arts" and help support funding. But you're saying it metaphorically at the barrel of a gun, forcing me (or anybody else-likely federal or state money from people who will never see it anyway) to fund it, even though I DON'T CARE and likely never will. But if *I* supported it, and I used the ECONOMIC model, I would try and persuade you to voluntarily contribute. And you would be free to do as you please based on my arguments and persuasion. That is the way freedom works. A government strong enough that it can force you to fund "the arts" you don't like or care about is strong enough to censor the arts. Economic freedom in the arts is required for their to be freedom at all.

jlees, I would agree with you in large part IF the Curiel School was doing art for art's sake. However, much of what our artists do is commercial restoration that brings money into the community.
This is what the Rialto Theatre in Pocahontas looks like right now. Tony Curiel is one of the few master neon artists who has the experience and ability to restore the neon on the building. While the Rialto did receive a grant to restore their theatre, it IS mostly people who want to see the outside of the theatre refurbished who did come together and raise that money.
As a matter of fact, getting private citizens together to raise funds to pay off the $55k note (of which, as I've said, Tony Curiel personally has already put in about $115,000) is what I am gaining support for. The school board's part in it would be to not simply kick the art school out because of the fire, and perhaps to be open to negotiating with us, should we raise almost, but not quite $55,000 to pay off the note.

BTW -- thanks so much for your support, and for all the ideas, ACERDJ. Keep them coming.

Brushpile, how has he been handed the shaft? The school board has helped him out with paying some of his property taxes when he couldn't pay them. Bottom line, it's his own fault for not having insurance on the building. Also, shame on the school board for not making sure he had any insurance.
-- Posted by older and wiser on Thu, Jul 12, 2012, at 11:12 AM
Amy,Why do you stress the fact that Tony has used his own money to start the school? Whose money should he have used to start his business?When I started my own small business I used a combination of my money and a bank loan. Over the years I have paid property taxes,insurance on my building and payroll. I have had to set aside money to get through the lean years(like now.)I would argue that my business and other small businesses in town have contrubuted to the local economy. In addition I live here and spend money here. So do my employees. So having said all this, if my business hits on hard times and I can't pay my bills, are you going to raise funds to keep me in business?
-- Posted by onamouse on Fri, Jul 13, 2012, at 10:36 PM
Onamouse, CRVA is a nonprofit. That means the funds do not come from a profitable business (though arguably, if the artists there had time, we could run an unrelated "for profit" business on the side -- an organization for people with brain injury in Sioux City also grinds and markets Jumpy Monkey coffee, for example). It is expected that people will donate time, money and materials to keep the school going, because it does not charge market rates, most of the time, for its commission work or classes.
If the instructors charged for their silver casting, lamp work, and other art classes what schools in Seattle and other places charged, they would be priced out of the range of most people here.
Just as a point of reference, glassblowing classes at the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, whose mission is nearly identical to CRVA, six sessions for $580; eight sessions for $700.
Actually as I look through the tuition for the classes offered there, which are also offered at CRVA, they break down to something quite close to $100/session.
CRVA classes, to accommodate the economic reality of our area, are more like 1/3 of that, and we will work with anyone who wishes to learn. That is the spirit of a nonprofit school -- the mission is more important than the profit. This is where the distinction comes from.
With 40 years of experience and a worldwide reputation, it may be that our classes are more substantive than classes in some other place. It's unlikely the instructors in most other places have the experience Tony has in various glass projects, prestigious commissions, etc. Tony's fortunes changed for the worse when he came to Spencer, whether it was due to the economy, or due to the complete lack of promised support received from the community.
If we ever made a "profit" on our work -- yes, we could pay our obligations. But no one in the organization could personally receive a bonus or other recompense -- the increase would go back into the mission of the organization.
Does any business owner really save up cash to start a business? I have never heard of that! Banks take a chance on loans. The small business administration gets involved. Investors put in some of the cash. It is incredibly rare that anyone would create a savings account to start a business, then wait years or decades until that account contained the six figures necessary to begin.
That's essentially what Tony did. He may not have dreamed each night of his life in Spencer, Iowa for decades, but he did sink his life savings into the school, paying down 65% on the loan for the school. Do you think most business owners had to pay down 65% of their own money just for the building?
Companies come and go from Spencer at an alarming rate. Yet the county and city give them millions in tax incentives to come here, never learning the lesson that as soon as the incentives run out, the company will make the "painful" decision to close their Spencer location.
I don't know if Tony should stay here, or cut his losses, retire and move to New Zealand -- in his own interest. In Spencer's interest, there is no doubt in my mind that I would rather have the $3 million from the St. Mary's Church in Remsen, plus money commissioned for the stained glass in Salix, to flow through Spencer - not divert to Plymouth and Woodbury Counties. If they cannot work out of Spencer, they might as well rent a building in LeMars or somewhere to get those two buildings done.
They would also take on workers and architectural stained glass apprentices (through the Dept of Labor Certified program we have had up and running since 2010) from those areas if they were kicked out of Spencer. If they were based here, the priority would be to find able, interested individuals with at least some aptitude working with their hands and attending to detail, to be involved in this project.
As I said above, the issue is -- does Spencer want the benefit of $3 million coming in, or does it choose to pass?
Also, is the community willing to raise $55,000 to pay off the note and make the building no longer the district's problem? It seems like a solid investment, and could easily be done with a volume of small, tax-deductible contributions.
-- Posted by AmyPeterson on Sat, Jul 14, 2012, at 3:16 PM
I did not realize CRVA had nonprofit status. It now makes sense that you would be asking the public for money.
You mentioned broken promises. What was Tony promised and by whom?
Not sure the comparison to Seattle is fair. Operating cost are much lower here.
To the question do business owners save up money to start a business; yes some do. Not all startups have investors. I too used my life savings to start my business. It is a risk many owners take. Let's be clear, Tony did not HAVE to do this, he CHOSE to do it.
Please know I do not wish Tony or the school failure. But it is apparent that it has stuggled from the beginning. I am not sure paying off the building will solve the problem. I suspect it would be a band aid on a gaping wound.
The Spencer school board needs to make a decision based on what's best for the district, not what is best for CRVA. Not sure if this is fact but heard the district's claim adjustor was denied entrance into the building to see the damages. Can you clear this up?
-- Posted by onamouse on Sat, Jul 14, 2012, at 9:35 PM
RE: access for the insurance claims adjuster. I was there, along with my son, Dylon, when Tony went through the area of the fire damage with the superintendent, a female employee of the school district (assistant to the superintendent, perhaps -- wearing a district logo polo like Mr. Hemann), and the insurance person who took video footage with a camera.
Mr. Hemann and the other school district representative left after a short time, and the insurance person stayed for a couple of hours, I believe. I am reasonably sure this was the morning after the fire, but it could have been Friday, two days after.
The fire marshall reported by Thursday night/Friday that the cause of the fire was unable to be determined. That information had been released, and would be official pending the opportunity to ask Dylon (the student who was there at the time) some questions (they kept missing each other, but it did happen within the week I believe) and add another item or two to the report.
It was in this interim that yet another insurance company person showed up at the school wanting to do independent forensics. By this time it was 4-5 days after the fire, a major portion of the cleanup of other parts of the building was already done, numerous people had been through the area where the fire started, and the delay in letting them in was simply so Tony could speak with the school's attorney about what this independent forensics entailed.
Essentially: the fire marshall spent hours observing the site, collecting data, and making his own forensic evaluation. The report will be available to both sides. What is this additional forensics that needs to be done?
Once that was answered, I believe the additional insurance company personnel were granted access to the building.
-- Posted by AmyPeterson on Mon, Jul 16, 2012, at 7:28 AM
I was very surprised the price of the obsolete school was as high as it was when it was sold. You often hear of similar situations when the building is sold for a pittance, sometimes even as little as a dollar. How many businesses would be a fit for that ediface? It's pretty big for a house,, it would cost a fortune to adapt it for apartments...
Tony Curiel has contributed a lot to Spencer in the few years he has been here. He also deals with war injury issues admirably, without complaining. I think he deserves our support!

Amy, A correction to your original story - Tony does not have a loan with the Iowa Lakes Corridor; it is with the Spencer Area Jobs Trust. Also, the comment about Tony being left out to dry is just not true or a fair statement. Additional research or interviews should be done before writing such a statement.
-- Posted by lakes corridor on Sat, Jul 21, 2012, at 1:11 PM
I do not remember saying anything about Lakes Corridor at all, or about LCO leaving Tony out to dry. Others are talking about various entities seeming to want what CRVA offers, without providing support. You would have to ask them if they are speaking of Lakes Corridor. These stories do not involve Lakes Corridor in any way, really. It's about the note with the school board. If the loan is not with Lakes Corridor, and we're not connected, then I'm not sure why we (Tony, board member Steve Booth and I) had lunch with Brian D in April to talk about working together.

50 Days of Prayer & Action
Monday, September 13, 2010 marks 50 days until Americans will go to the polls to vote in the mid-term Congressional elections.
Our friends at Priests for Life recently started a "Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders." They are calling upon each of us to join in the following prayer each day leading up to the important decisions we will make on November 2, 2010 about the future direction of our country.
Election Novena
O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank you for the privilege
Of being able to organize ourselves politically
And of knowing that political loyalty
Does not have to mean disloyalty to you.
We thank you for your law,
Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged
And recognized as higher than any human law.
We thank you for the opportunity that this election
year puts before us,
To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,
But to influence countless others to vote,
And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that your people may be awakened.
Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation,
Their response to you requires that they be politically active.
Awaken your people to know that they are
not called to be a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer
Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;
That the same eyes that read your Word
Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,
And that they do not cease to be Christians
When they enter the voting booth.
Awaken your people to a commitment to justice
To the sanctity of marriage and the family,
To the dignity of each individual human life,
And to the truth that human rights begin when human lives begin,
And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

absolutely the best I have ever had.
by Canadian truck owner from Ontario, Canada | October 31, 2014
I have owned this truck for almost 17 years now.. I do take care of it with regular maintenance but the cost is minimal. Right now she has 201,5756 Km on it ..... ha ha . a lot of miles. I have never in all those years had anything major go wrong with this truck. the gas mileage is out of this world ( v6 200 hp) . just this week I finally had to replace a front wheel bearing. that's all. Lucky,,, I guess but what a truck. Satisfaction for me with reliability and everything that goes with it. I will keep this baby for as long as I can. It looks great, runs great and just feels great to drive. And all of this is happening in " the great white North"... ha ha ha. I would recommend that if someone out there is able to pick up a used one it will be a great buy.. just sign me Happy

Sweet Truck
by JAM#One from Brooksville, FL | September 7, 2013
When on vacation, a friend lent me her '96 Sierra. I enjoyed driving the truck so much that I came home and bought my '97 Sierra. The truck was my sole source of transportation for our first five years. Its use these days is intermittent work and pleasure. With 56,000 original miles, my Sierra is dependable, comfortable and still fun to drive.

Keeping this truck forever!
by Truck Lover from Phoenix, AZ | June 12, 2011
I purchased my GMC Sierra base work truck in 1997 for $16,400. It had no radio or rear bumper, was very limited on the options included. It's a 4.3L V6 with Laguna Blue-Green Metallic paint. I have over 132,000 miles on it now and I put my foot into the pedal every single day that I have driven it. I have the original Motor and Transmission with no repairs to either. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and the only modifications I have made the the truck were a K&N air filter, Magna Flow dual exhaust system and a shift kit was put into the transmission. I have 3.08 gears running BFG A/Ts 33x11.50 and I kid you not, this truck gets hole shot on almost every vehicle. Of course not high end exotic sports cars but I usually beat vehicles like Trailblazer SS AWD and Cobalt SS' off the line all the way to 60mph. I keep up with all my buddies who have 4.8l V8 and 5.3l V8s when we drive on the freeway. My V6 is definitely something that would not be expected from six cylinders . Aside from the performance I have the original paint. I live in North-West Phoenix, Arizona and the heat/sun is a paint peeler here. My truck sat outside for three years when I got another vehicle and I do not even have so much as the clear coat peeling. The interior has held up absolutely great, my only problem has been the arm rests tend to break where the black plastic alignment clips lock it into place. So I would not advise putting your weight on those. I do have the manual windows/locks door panel so the power panel might be different. The bench seat has not even flattened where I sit, the foam is still firm and has no wear and tear at all. I know I will never get rid of this vehicle because even if the motor grenades one day I can go buy a GM 4.3L Crate motor for a couple grand and keep my mint condition truck!

I have had this truck for two years now and as a college student miles away from home I have put thousands of miles on it and almost all was with a horse trailer behind me.

Can't complain at all.
by Hillbilly from North East, Md | May 3, 2009
Bought the truck in the fall of 99. It now has 257,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Just replaced the radiator on it for the first time. The transmission went out on it around 120,000 miles and had to replace the lower intake gasket later on. That's the only two things that was major. The intake gasket was actually one of the recalls that they had for this year. Very comfortable ride far as seating and suspension. Like the power also. It'll still light them up no problem. Very Happy with this truck. In fact when the engine finally goes , I'll drop another in it and keep going. Have no rust issues at all. Using it for work ,going to the dumps and hunting. All around great truck.

Disappointmented greatly
by blueice from Maine | April 13, 2009
I have had three gmc trucks in the last ten years and I could not fault any but the 1997 we purchased two years ago with just 61,000 on it. A gargage baby. It is one thing after another and we can not find a set of tires that we don't have to lock in the 4x4 to get it off the lawn or back out of a gravel driveway due to its light weight and spinning. The brakes are never right and they have been fixed, replaced and everything else, also the steering is now gone bad and no matter what we replace it locks up on slow turns. It is one repair after another and at 91 thousand, it will be gone soon as I can not trust it to haul my horse trailer safely. I will hook up the dodge of my husband's with a broken heart. I loved my 1996's but this one is the biggest disappointment of my life.

Best vehicle I ever owned
by Jimbo from Salina Kansas | May 24, 2008
Bought new in 1997, very little repair done to truck, regular oil changes, etc. Have had 2 front brake jobs, no rear brakes in 101,000 miles. Replaced water pump and battery only once. Truck still looks great and is the most comfortable sitting vehicle I ever owned. The handling and power is top notch also.

I think there is still an overwhelming belief in American society, despite how far we've come in gender equality (19th amendment, women's suffrage, is less than a hundred years old), that the male is the breadwinner and the female is the homemaker – which leads to some consternation when the female out-earns the male. Despite the gender neutral title, I think this question is more acute if you're in a heterosexual relationship and you're a guy who comes from a more fairly traditional family with a single breadwinner, your father. (I don't know the dynamics of homosexual relationships, but it would be nice if someone from Queer Cents [3] could share their two cents on this)
So, if you're the guy and your girlfriend, fiancée, or wife made more money than you, would you be bothered by it? If you're the girl and your boyfriend, fiancé or husband made less money than you, would you be bothered by it, insomuch that you'd be afraid of making him feel bad?
I'd say that in my situation, I'd be okay with it in part because I see it more like "us" and less like "me and her," if that makes sense. One of my friends and his wife, I know that very soon one day the wife will out earn the husband. The husband is perfectly fine with that because he sees it as a team so there is never the consideration of "her" out earning "him," it's "they" out earning "old they." I think that's healthy but not necessarily the average reaction.
I also think it's perfectly acceptable to be bothered by it for a variety of reasons. If you and your SO one day want to drop to one income and raise children, just so one of you can stay home with the kids, I do believe that the mother is better at raising children than the father (before you scream gender discrimination, just consider the biological advantages of mothers). If the mother out earns the father, it's harder to replace the higher income and so there's no doubt in my mind that the father feels pressure.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Half of all Americans own smartphones. The figure is even larger for scientists (two out of three), and larger still for life scientists at the bench: nearly seventy-five percent use mobile devices to support their lab research. The figure is staggering, particularly considering that Apple launched its app store less than five years ago. "There's an app for that" has become a joke, a catchphrase, and a mantra, adorning T-shirts and popping up in coffee shop conversations.
The paradox—at least, so far—is that despite the overwhelming interest in smartphone use, when it comes to life science, there is not always an "app for that." No one knows quite why. Uncertainty about platform choice? Maybe. Dearth of qualified developers? Sure. But these hurdles haven't stopped anyone before (have you seen some of the apps out there?).
Meanwhile, users' expectations continue to rise. Googling "is there an app for" results in more than two million hits. "I want an app for" garners more than five million. Users rely on smart phone and tablet applications for everything from music to fashion to ordering a pizza. As apps become integrated into virtually every aspect of people's lives, people rely on them. And once they do, they don't look back—once they purchase an app, they are loathe to delete it.
Most users are "satisficers," meaning that when they download an app that fills a particular need, they spend little or no additional time looking for better apps. This is related to the "sticky eyeball" phenomenon—a paradoxical behavior whereby consumers adopt a digital solution for an information need, then remain with that solution despite the existence of superior alternatives. Ever know someone who drives a Toyota because they've always driven a Toyota? Or banks with Wells Fargo because they've always banked with Wells Fargo? Or won't surrender their Hotmail account? Same idea.
This confluence of circumstance and psychology means that whoever is first to market with life science apps is likely to keep a corner on that market for a long, long time. And the market is enormous. Instead of thumb-typing detailed notes on tiny keyboards, scientists could use an app to check off steps of a predefined protocol. Instead of writing down output, emailing it out to a group, and having everyone type it into their respective notes, an app could share and consolidate output automatically among workgroups or lab teams. Instead of looking up common calculations and conversions online, scientists could—you guessed it—use an app to do it more quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
The time is picture perfect for life science app development. Scientists own smartphones, bring them to work, and are already accustomed to using apps in countless other areas of their life. It won't be long before app use becomes de rigueur at the bench. The only question is which companies will step up to the plate first, and which apps they'll start with.
A good app anticipates a need. A great app anticipates future needs, too. It won't just tell you when an experiment's finished; it will send you the results, graph them against past results, send them to everyone in your workgroup, and give you the option to reset the equipment. Why shouldn't you be able to see snapshots of your experiment's progress as easily as you can check the score of a baseball game?
One mistake developers make is spending too much time on things that don't matter, and not enough time on things that do. In developing apps tailored to the life science crowd, a few factors will be especially crucial:
There's a plethora of other factors that seem important but are actually secondary. Many would-be developers, for example, dwell for inordinate amounts of time on which platform to target first (Apple or Android), or which device to optimize the app for (tablet, smartphone, mini-tablet, etc.). Considering this ahead of time may seem prudent, but it's a red herring. Eventually, any great app will be available on all platforms and devices. (Angry Birds, after all, didn't stay confined to the iPhone for long.) The question is where to start. And in the current, wide-open market for life science apps, any starting point is a smart starting point.
At this point, the question isn't whether apps will "catch on" or "become relevant" at the bench. Life science apps will be every bit as ubiquitous in lab work as Pandora is in listening to music and Yelp is in finding a restaurant.
The natural merger of life science research with mobile apps has never been more evident, nor more imminent. Right now, lab scientists Google basic conversions, open a calculator app to do the math, then use a separate notebook app to record results. They spend time driving to and from the lab on weekends to ensure that their multi-day experiments are still running. Given the state of technology, these inefficiencies are absurd—and they're ripe to be erased. It's an exciting time to be in the life sciences, and the impending impact of mobile apps is only going to make it more so.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Winona Ryder
- 1971-1980
A Countercultural Upbringing
Winona Ryder (né Horowitz) lives with her family in San Francisco but briefly resides in Colombia at the home of Chilean revolutionists, who were friends of her parents. When Ryder is 7, the clan settles down at a 300-acre commune in Mendocino, Calif. – where beat poet Allen Ginsburg and outspoken psychedelic-drug guru Timothy Leary befriend her parents. Ryder "was an unconventional child," her father Michael tells Newsday in 1993. "She had a flair for style at a young age. And creativity."
- 1982
From Loner to Actor
Seeking an extra-curricular activity for their loner 11-year-old, who is mistaken for an effeminate male by her classmates, Ryder's parents, Michael and Cynthia, send her to San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Ryder instantly proves to be a natural, eventually catching the eye of a talent scout who sends her to screen-test for a role in Desert Bloom. Although Ryder isn't cast, the screen test leads to her feature debut in Lucas (right).
- 1987
Burton's Beetlejuice
Director Tim Burton casts Ryder as an outcast, death-obsessed teen in Beetlejuice (left), with Michael Keaton. The quirky film grosses almost $73 million. "I've gone through very dark stages where I would only wear black [as did her character]," she tells the Los Angeles Times. "I went through that stage right before I did that movie, so it was a cinch. I was very dramatic; I was like a living sigh."
- 1989
Heathers Breakout
The L.A. Times declares that Ryder is "Hollywood's hottest young heartthrob, heiress apparent to Molly Ringwald's teen throne" when she stars in the dark teen film Heathers (right). The movie quickly achieves cult-hit status with Ryder as teen murderess Veronica Sawyer. "As soon as we saw her onscreen, everybody immediately said: 'That girl is a movie star,'" director Michael Lehmann tells Los Angeles Magazine. Ryder confesses of her luck, "I never had to do the Hollywood thing, to move to L.A. and do commercials or sitcoms. That probably pisses people off. But I've worked really hard. I'm not going to apologize for not struggling."
Meeting Johnny Depp
Ryder works with director Tim Burton again as the empathetic Kim Boggs in the box-office hit Edward Scissorhands. While filming, Ryder begins dating costar Johnny Depp (left). "There's been nothing in my 27 years that's comparable to the feeling I have with Winona," Depp tells PEOPLE. The two move in together, become engaged in 1990, and Depp famously has "Winona Forever" tattooed on his upper right arm (he'll later alter it to "Wino Forever" after they call it quits after three years).
- 1990
Winona's Mental Issues
After dropping out of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: Part III, Ryder checks into a psychiatric hospital after suffering from exhaustion, anxiety and depression. But she leaves the facility in less than two weeks. "I just realized that no matter how much money you pay," Ryder, who appears on a 1991 cover of Rolling Stone, says, "these places don't have the answers. Because there are no answers. You're just a human being, and you make a choice to go on with your life."
- 1992
Ryder's Age of Innocence
Ryder plays May Welland in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of the novel The Age of Innocence (right). "[Ryder] is unafraid of trying to find the truth of a character or situation," Scorsese tells Vogue in 2007. "Add to that her extraordinary range, warmth and humor, and I believe she's truly one of the best actors of her generation." For Innocence, Ryder wins her first Golden Globe Award and nabs her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
- 1994
Playing Little Women
Ryder briefly slips into jeans for Ben Stiller's Reality Bites, but is soon back in hoopskirts as the feisty Jo March in Little Women with Claire Danes (left) and Kirsten Dunst. Ryder earns another Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress. "I related to [Jo's] passion for the arts and her drive and her stubbornness and her frustration," Ryder says.
- 1997
Alien Resurrection
After appearing on PEOPLE's 50 Most Beautiful list, Ryder nabs her first action-adventure role alongside Sigourney Weaver (right) in Alien Resurrection. "I didn't care if I died in the first scene," Ryder tells the Chicago Sun-Times. "I just wanted to be in an Alien movie. I've seen all of them hundreds of times. I had Sigourney's poster on my wall for 17 years." Afterward, Ryder opts for a two-year hiatus: "I didn't want to work just for the sake of working. I also wanted to have a life outside of just working."
Taking Matt Damon
At a New Year's Eve party, Gwyneth Paltrow, who is dating Ben Affleck, introduces Ryder to Affeck's pal Matt Damon. At the time, Damon is dating Minnie Driver, his Good Will Hunting costar, according to Driver, who claims she only learned about their breakup from Damon's Jan. 12 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Ryder and Damon date until April 2000.

Developing Country Use of the WTO Dispute Settlement System: Why it Matters, the Barriers Posed
Gregory Shaffer
University of California, Irvine School of Law
December 23, 2008
TRADE DISPUTES AND THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE WTO: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY ASSESSMENT, James Hartigan, ed., Elsevier, Frontiers of Economics and Globalization Series, Chapter 7, 2009
Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 08-50
This chapter examines the barriers posed for smaller and poorer World Trade Organization (WTO) members to challenge trade barriers under the WTO's dispute settlement understanding. It first addresses the implications of the judicialization of the WTO's dispute settlement system. It next examines reasons why participation in the WTO's dispute settlement system matters. It then summarizes the results of studies of the system's use and, in light of these findings, posits explanations for smaller developing countries' lack of engagement.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 25
Keywords: WTO dispute settlement, developing countries, legal capacity, judicialization, implementation periods, aggregate stakes, participation, systemic effects, terms of trade, bargaining, legal shadow, litigation, enforcement, balance of power, legal consciousness, institutional bias, rule of law

John Newton Morris
John Newton Morris, 82, widely known citizen of Cheyenne, Wyo., passed away July 3, 2014, after a valiant battle with lymphoma.
John Morris was born July 5, 1931, in Giles County, Tenn., son of Turner and Elizabeth Morris of Campbellsville, Tenn.
John attended the University of Tennessee his freshman year and he, along with five other Tennessee football players, followed Bowden Wyatt to the University of Wyoming the following year. He was a member of the championship Gator Bowl team in 1951. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Agriculture Business and Veternarian Science. It was at the university where he met Norma Jean Bell of Cheyenne who became his wife of 60 years.
John was commissioned through the University of Wyoming ROTC in 1954 as a second lieutenant. He was then stationed at Fort Benning, Ga., where he completed the basic infantry officer course. He was an infantry platoon leader at Fort Leonardwood, Mo., specializing in hand-to-hand combat.
John dedicated his life not only to his family, but also to his community, church, and his state. His commitment to the preservation of land and water is indicative by the boards he served on: the Environmental Quality Council, Citizens Water Advisory Council and Land Quality Advisory Board. He was a member of the prestigious Military Advisory Council at Warren Air force Base and the Wyoming Bancorporation. As a member of Kiwanis, he received the George F. Hixon fellow award. He was chairman of the Laramie County Fair Board, member of the HEELS, and Cowboy Joe Club.
John and Norma generously opened their home and extended the use of their beautiful ranch hosting the Governor's Western Art Show picnic for decades, St. Mary's Parish mass and picnic, and the announcements of two former Wyoming Governors' campaign bids.
John and his wife Norma were both inductees into the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame. After serving on the racing committee, he became the night show arena director, a position he held for thirty years. He was an advocate for humane treatment of animals and the safety of cowboys. John provided calves for the roping and Mexican steers for dogging events. In the mid 60s, John and his family started the cattle drive to Cheyenne Frontier Days Park, a tradition that continues today. His commitment to Cheyenne Frontier Days for over 60 years has greatly contributed to the success of the show.
He is survived by his three daughters, Betsy Morris Graham of Cheyenne, Wyo., and San Francisco, Karen and Curt Gowdy Jr. of New Canaan, Conn., and Marcy and Tom Habbe of Rapid City, S.D.; his 12 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
His wife, Norma Bell Morris, and grandson, Thomas Joseph Habbe, preceded him in death.
Services were held at St. Mary's Cathedral on July 11, 2014.

"I Funny: A Middle School Story" by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein; Little, Brown, $15.99.
Jamie Grimm is the new kid in town, in Long Beach on Long Island. He uses a wheelchair and that makes him a target for bullies including the bully he lives with, his own cousin Stevie Kosgrov. (Jamie's bedroom is the former garage (complete with a weed-whacker hanging on the wall) of the house where he lives with his mother's sister, nicknamed Aunt Smiley because she never smiles). But Jamie has something going for him: He's hilarious. And he's determined to win the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest, even if he has to do it on the sly and take a taxi to the first round in Ronkonkoma. But will he choke when he gets there? Or will he leave 'em laughing?
James Patterson churns out the books. (Chris Grabenstein has written several thrillers for middle school readers and collaborated with Patterson on "Daniel X: Armageddon.") This one has humor and heart, as the authors save until almost the end the story of why Jamie uses a wheelchair, lives with his aunt and not his parents, and how he got interested in comedy in the first place. The book has loads of great cartoon illustrations by Laura Park who also drew the pictures for "Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life" and "Middle School: Get Me Out of Here" (co-written by Patterson and Chris Tebbetts).

Have you ever wondered why people in photographs sometimes have red eyes? If a subject is close to a camera lens, the burst of light from the camera's flash goes through to the back of the subject's eyeball. The retina inside the eye is rich in red blood vessels. When the light strikes those red blood vessels, it reflects the red color seen in the picture.
– Time Book of Why
The Theatre of Youth, 203 Allen St., has added an extra performance of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" at 7 tonight. For information, call 884-4400 or visit www.theatreofyouth.org.

Checkoff Calls for Beef Quality Assurance Award Nominees
Checkoff Calls for Beef Quality Assurance Award Nominees
Applications for the fourth annual checkoff-funded National Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Award are now being accepted. The National BQA Award will recognize one outstanding beef and dairy producer that best demonstrate animal care and handling principles as part of the day-to-day activities on their respective operations. A common trait among all contest entrants must be a strong desire to continually improve BQA on their operations while encouraging others to implement the producer education program. The national BQA program promotes beef quality assurance in all segments of the industry, including commercial cow-calf, seedstock, stocker operators, feedlots and dairy operations. Two National BQA award winners will be selected by a committee of representatives from universities, state beef councils and affiliated groups.
Nominations can be submitted by any organization, group, or individual on behalf of a U.S. beef producer. Individuals and families may not nominate themselves, however the nominees are expected to be involved in the preparation of the application. For further information on the award or to download the application, please visit http://www.bqa.org
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

cocking out is when one is done with sexual relations for the day. Similar to clocking out from a workplace.
