Earthfire Institute is a place to experience the profound connection between all life. Our 40-acre wildlife sanctuary, nestled in the Yellowstone-to-Yukon Wildlife Corridor, is a loving home to wild animals that can never be released into the wild, and a refuge for reflecting—in their company—on how to create a truly sustainable world.
Our Home
We could say we live in Tetonia, Idaho but that is a human overlay onto the land. We are part of the Rocky Mountain mountain ecosystem that stretches 2000 miles to the north, and includes the Yellowstone to Yukon Wildlife Corridor, an uninterrupted pathway along which plants and animals can still migrate over time, keeping their genes flowing and their species strong. It is the last best corridor of its kind in the world. Earthfire's animals are representatives of the wildlife that populate the corridor.... Explore
Sanctuary Map
We started Earthfire by building a bridge to reach the 40 acres we had purchased, put in a well, phone and electricity, and began building with hope, love, labor and donated materials. Then supporters joined in and we are now halfway to our goal.... Explore
The wonder of what is on this earth
A brief look at Earthfire Institute -- their vision to connect with wildlife and nature -- wildlife as translators for their kind.

ResearchFest: Celebrating our cohort!
Yesterday was one of the best days of my PhD, or even my science career so far. I took part in an event called ResearchFest, and it was awesome. The brainchild of Lindsey Brown (the participation manager), it was set up to celebrate the participants who have given their time, effort and (sometimes) body parts and fluids for a birth cohort; Children of the 90s. I've blogged about the cohort before, so you can read that for more... Read more

CCAFS Releases Gender Strategy for Pro-Poor Mitigation Research
5 April 2013: The Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security Program (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) has released a strategy that provides a framework for considering gender within low emissions agricultural development.
The paper acknowledges that transforming gender dynamics takes time and requires efforts from men and women. It identifies three challenges related to gender equity in mitigation projects, based on: burdens placed on women from mitigation activities; the fact that economic and agricultural models that drive mitigation analysis rarely recognize gender issues; and top-down planning that reinforces inequitable power dynamics.
The paper stresses the need to focus on: supporting collective action, alliances and inclusive decision making; promoting research related to institutional inequalities and their relationship to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions; analyzing women's innovations related to low emissions agriculture; and undertaking gender disaggregated research.

Shaltz, a well-known civic and business leader in the county, is the president and chief executive officer of Shaltz Automation, a managing partner for a number of downtown Flint restaurants and Uptown Developments, founder of the nonprofit Flint Diaper Bank and a member of the Hurley Board of Managers.
He formed HSS in 1998. The company's clients include General Motors.
"I feel comfortable with where we are" after approving the contract with HSS, said Commissioner Brenda Clack, D-Flint. "There is opposition that comes when people don't understand the process and what's going on."
Board Chairman Jamie Curtis has said the proposal from HSS came after years of talks about potential shared services for local communities -- discussions that began in 2011 when former Lt. Gov. John Cherry and former Flint emergency manager Michael Brown led a study called "Future Genesee" that identified potential areas of cooperation and consolidation.
County Interim Corporation Counsel Celeste Bell said a county attorney drafted a new professional services contract with HSS since last week because a four-page proposal from the company was "light on details" and because county attorneys were not consulted in drafting it.
As the initial proposal did, the new agreement provides for HSS to be paid $19,250 per month if it continues to work on the county project for more than six months.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Lorenzo Ward thought everything had to be perfect. Each player, like each piece on a chess board, had an exact position on the field. It was his job to get them there.
That's how Ward always envisioned being a defensive coordinator as he climbed the coaching ladder. Given the keys to South Carolina's defense before the 2012 Capital One Bowl, the first-time coordinator recognized his power.
It drove his players nuts.
Ward's meticulous perfectionism slowed communication to a halt early in the 2012 Capital One Bowl against Nebraska. He waited to see how the Cornhuskers lined up before sending a play from the coaches booth to field level. With players learning where to be moments before the snap, they had no chance.
Nebraska marched down the field for touchdowns on their first two possessions, taking a lead into the second quarter. After the second touchdown, senior defensive tackle Travian Robinson marched to the sideline and grabbed a headset.
"I got the call in late several times, and it affected the team," Ward said. "So he got on the headset. He called up to the booth and he said, 'There's no such thing as a perfect call, Coach Ward. Give us the defense.' After that, we shut them down. (Nebraska did not score again).
"That really made me grow and trust the players more. Instead of me trying to put them in position to make a play by putting the right call and the right defense, let them make plays."
Ward said he'll never forget that quick lecture from Robinson. Two years later, he can't help but chuckle.
Memories surround South Carolina's defensive coordinator this week. He can't escape them, whether it's on the practice field at a local high school in Orlando, in the team hotel or talking with the media.
It's been two years since Ward replaced Ellis Johnson as the Gamecocks' sole defensive coordinator. His second anniversary will be spent back at the Capital One Bowl, where it all began. Ward said the return trip to Orlando has been surreal.
"In fact, my first press conference was two years ago at this same table," Ward said Monday during a coordinators' news conference in a second-floor suite at the Rosen Plaza Hotel.
Ward credits his position coaches and players for the defense's success, as a leader should. Clearly, the 46-year-old from Alabama has left his imprint on South Carolina's defensive accomplishments.
The patience and trust Ward learned to have with players in his first game on the job was never tested more than this season. With a young defense - the Gamecocks' leading tackler is a true freshman - Ward knew there would be inconsistencies and growing pains. Through a rocky September, he never wavered.
"I felt like the D-line didn't trust that the linebackers would be where they needed to be, and the secondary was trying to overcompensate," Ward said. "So when we sat down and started looking at the video, I told them each week in our team meeting on Monday, 'I think we're getting closer. We're getting there. We've just got to stay together. We've got to get all 11 to take care of their assignments, and we'll become a decent defense.' "
Ward has tinkered with the lineup, pulling starting jobs when necessary. He's used positive reinforcement, showing patience when required. Each button he's pushed has seemed to work.
Improvements have been slow, but also steady. The Gamecocks clawed their way to "competency," as Ward put it. They rank second in the SEC allowing 20 points per game and third with 345 yards per game. Now, there seems to be no weakness. South Carolina's rush defense ranks second in the league with 142.25 yards allowed per game, while its pass defense ranks fourth with 202.8 yards per game.
Senior defensive end Chaz Sutton credits Ward.
"It's been all about growth," Sutton said. "He came in with a plan, and he gave it to us. And as a group, we executed it, and then it works for us for the past couple of years. We're one of the top defenses in our conference, and he was doing a great job collectively."
The first signs of growth this season came during practice in South Carolina's seven-on-seven drills. Ward noticed more gap integrity, players trusting their teammates to handle their responsibilities instead of trying to do too much on their own.
It was another reminder of what was learned the last time South Carolina played in the Capital One Bowl. Ward can exercise his power, make decisions that affect everything from where a player will line up to how they'll perceive a play. Ultimately, it's up to the player to make the right decisions.
It's Ward's job to let them make plays.
"God blessed me and gave me an opportunity, and so far I think we've done fairly well," Ward said. "I think I've lost four ballgames as a coordinator. So if we can keep that going, keep that record going, I think I'll be a coordinator for a while."

In Reply.—It was precisely because of the arguments cited by Dr Banagale that my co-workers and I chose to study healthy, term infants at 2 to 3 weeks of age. Analysis of thyroid hormones in breast milk is beset with many problems; premature infants frequently have low serum T4 values. Finally, any effect of nursing should be more evident after nursing is well established.
The results of recent studies performed by my colleagues and me in collaboration with the Texas Department of Health, support Dr Banagale's contention that the method of feeding does not impair the accuracy of neonatal screening programs for primary congenital hypothyroidism. The mean filter paper spot-test T4 value of breast-fed infants is marginally higher than that of formula-fed infants, aged 2 to 3 weeks old. However, the overlap of values is so great that the difference is not clinically important. Therefore, we conclude

Peggy Canfield is an active volunteer at Mountain Hospice in Belington.
She works there for a full day every Tuesday and Wednesday and primarily focuses on clerical and office duties. When office work is in short supply or when other projects need volunteers, however, she steps up and helps out.
"Whatever needs to be done," she said, "that's what I need to do."
She lends her time at the Randolph County Fair and Barbour County Fair, bakes cookies for Mountain Hospice Christmas baskets and assists with Hospice fundraising activities.
The Valentine's Night Out fundraiser, conducted Feb. 15, was one such charity event. The dinner, complete with a silent auction and 50/50 raffle, claimed more than 17 hours of service from Canfield.
She said she enjoys, more than anything, being a volunteer and helping others.
"Giving is a whole lot better than receiving," she said. "I like being around people and I like making their days brighter."
She began volunteering after her husband became a patient at Mountain Hospice. She said Hospice staff cared for him until he passed away this past November.
"They are God's angels," she said of the staff. "If I volunteered every day for the rest of my life, I could never repay them."
Canfield has two sons and five grandchildren, who range from 2 to 29 years old.
She belongs to the Woodford United Methodist Church and also volunteers there as needed.

What attracted you to Plymouth State's graduate program? As an undergraduate I had heard about the many programs offered and knew that the school counseling program was one of the best in the state. I have always liked the fact that the staff is approachable and friendly and the surrounding area is so beautiful.
Where are you now employed? Alton Central School
How are you implementing knowledge gained during your program? Everything I learned as a graduate student gets used in one way or another. The training in school counseling was very specific to real world applications. I use a lot of the papers and activities that I completed as a graduate student on a regular basis.
What would you say to a student who is considering graduate school? Plymouth has the unique ability to offer stellar training programs at a really reasonable cost. It would still be my first choice of schools, which is probably why I'm going to return for another degree.

Hi there, welcome to my little corner of the web dedicated to one of the best things to come out of Japan since Badtz-Maru. I love Domo-Kun and want to spread the good word about him.
The official North American Domo-kun page can be found at the aptly named DOMONation. Please check out their site over time as they add more content and give us all more details about our favorite furry beast. It's certainly Domo-Kun approved!
Many people do not understand him. They call him a poop monster, turd monster, carpet monster (one of my more favorite epithets, by the way, thanks Beth and Jose!) and other blasphemies. If you think I am crazy, you are perhaps correct.
One of the most exciting announcements to come out is that, allegedly, Nickelodeon may be developing a new set of 26 2-minute shorts of Domo-Kun for broadcast this Fall! For American Domo-Kun fans, this is welcome news! The New York Times Magazine even did a short piece on it!
There's a lot of work that still needs to be done (especially on the domo-base) In the mean time, check out some of my links and peruse some of the other great fansites out there. Also, you can read the Domo-Kun "story" that started it all. It is, unfortunately, incomplete but someday I may finish it!
Just a few notes on future content for this site:
- Fully searchable Domobase (information, merchandise, etc.)
- Original music with a Domo-Kun theme
- Photos photos photos!
- Domo-Kun fan movie contest
- Much much more!

A LIST of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners wanted in exchange for long-term hostage Corporal Gilad Shalit has been presented to the Israeli government in the biggest sign of progress towards securing his release for nearly a year.
The continued captivity of Cpl Shalit, who was seized in a cross-border raid from Gaza in June last year by militants allied to the Hamas faction, has added further acrimony to the poisoned Israeli-Palestinian relationship.
Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister, has accused the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, of failing to deliver on a pledge to secure the soldier's release before last month's formation of the new Palestinian national unity government of both the Fatah and Hamas factions.
Freeing Cpl Shalit has also been cited by some European countries as one of the steps the coalition cabinet must take if it wants the crippling sanctions imposed after Hamas took office last year, to be eased.
Isaac Herzog, an Israeli cabinet minister, said yesterday that "certain progress has been made compared with how things were until now".
But he added: "There is still a long way to go. We are apparently approaching the truly difficult stage of the negotiations."
Egyptian officials mediating with Hamas handed over the list to Israeli officials yesterday, which reportedly includes anything from 350 to 1,000 names,
However, Cpl Shalit's release is not seen as imminent as Israel is expected to reject some of the names on the list.
One Israeli official described some of the named Palestinians as "murderers" who will not be set free.
Media reports said the list included Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouthi, who is serving five consecutive life terms after being convicted of shooting attacks that killed four Israelis and a Greek monk.
Mr Barghouthi, who once enjoyed good relations with Israeli officials, is seen as a possible successor to Mr Abbas as head of the Fatah movement founded by Yasser Arafat.
There have been calls in Israel for him to be released to provide a counterweight to Hamas. Traditionally, Israel has ruled out freeing prisoners with "blood on their hands" a designation it has defined broadly to include not only those who killed Israelis but also people who transported militants to attack sites, militants whose attempted attacks failed and others who helped an attack.
If it wants to reach a deal over Cpl Shalit, the Israeli government would have to re-evaluate the definitions.
Nonetheless, Israel has a long history of lop-sided prisoner exchanges with Arab parties.
In 1985, it set free 1,150 Arab prisoners for three Israelis held by a Palestinian group in Lebanon.
In January, 2004, it released 400 Palestinians, 21 Lebanese and 59 Lebanese corpses in exchange for three corpses of soldiers held by Hezbollah and a kidnapped businessman and senior reserve officer, Elhanan Tannenbaum.
However, the Israeli government is wary of being criticised for caving in or rewarding Hamas.
And the prisoner issue is especially sensitive in Palestinian public opinion, with Palestinians unwilling to accept Cpl Shalit being freed without a significant release from among their approximately 9,000 prisoners in Israeli jails.
But Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said: "There is a clear progress in the fact a list of names has been presented."

Students aid jogger who collapsed at Federal Way track
From staff reports:
A Federal Way High School gym class came to the aid of a jogger who collapsed on the school's running track on Thursday.
The class was out using the track when the incident occurred. Upon seeing the jogger collapse, teacher Pat Adkins and two students, Jasmine Johnson and Christopher Harada, moved in to assist. One student dialed 911, while Adkins and the other student stayed with the jogger.
Emergency personnel arrived on scene and transported the jogger to St. Francis Hospital.
Principal Lisa Griebel sent a letter home to parents on Thursday letting them know how proud she was of the students and the teacher.
"While we don't know the condition of the jogger at this time, I can say with confidence that our teacher and students gave her a chance to survive and recover by acting quickly," Griebel wrote. "Please let your student know I am proud of them."

Fairview sophomore Ben Westcott is the only district finalist scheduled to return from the 2013 championship matches. Westcott won six times to reach the Class AA final before he lost to Warren graduate Shane Burns. Warren's Nate Sandberg and Fairview's Jonl Oskin also could be considered top contenders in AA.
Nicholas Ward beat Cathedral Prep teammate Michal Prenovitz in last season's Class AAA final. Each has graduated.
One of the favorites in Class AAA this year is Nick Donovan, McDowell's No. 1 player.
Saturday's matches also start a busy week of district play at Pennbriar.
The one-day doubles tournament is scheduled there Wednesday. Class AA matches will begin at 8:45 a.m. and Class AAA at 11.
The district team tournament is May 9. The Class AA semifinals start at 9 a.m. and the final at 2 p.m., with the Class AAA final in between at noon.
As with singles, only the district champs in those events will move on to state competition.
- Brian McNally's bucket-handle meniscus tear during football season was thought to have cost him his basketball and track and field seasons.
After intense rehab and workouts, McNally, a jumper, was cleared for the triple jump Monday. He immediately won the triple jump Tuesday in a Region 5 dual against North East with a triple jump of 40 feet 6 inches.
Not only was it an impressive performance after the injury, but McNally also qualified for the District 10 championship meet.
- District 10 track and field teams will scatter throughout western Pennsylvania today and Saturday.
Cathedral Prep, Villa Maria, McDowell and Fort LeBoeuf are four schools that will travel to suburban Pittsburgh for the 41st annual Baldwin Invitational today.
Villa's Raven Clark, Grace Trucilla, Alison Carson and Claire Brown could return to defend their title in the girls 3,200-meter relay.
North East and Oil City will host meets Saturday at 9 a.m.
The 20th annual North East Invitational could feature 2013 individual champions in Union City's Eve Gardner (200 and 400), Villa's Bernadette Prichard (3,200), Northwestern's Corey Shinko (triple jump and javelin) and Gary Olson of the host Grapepickers (3,200).
Corry and General McLane are the Erie County teams scheduled to head to Venango County for the 26th annual Oil Country Invitational.
- Hickory senior Luke Lewis continues to impress in the discus this season. The Purdue track and field recruit broke the school record in the shot put Saturday in the Hermitage Invitational.
His distance of 61 feet 81/2 inches topped the mark of 61-4 set by Matt Bell in 2012. Lewis' heave also tied the distance of the PIAA champion from 2013.
- Hickory freshman Heather Grober also set a school record at the meet when she ran a time of 25.62 seconds in the 200 meters. That beat the standard of 26.13 set by Lisa Lippincott in 1987.
Ironically, Grober did not even win the 200 at the Hermitage Invitational.
General McLane sophomore Bethany Evankovich won the event with a meet-record time of 25.52 seconds.
Evankovich had a superb all-around day at the Hermitage Invitational. She also won the 400 meters in a time of 1:00.03 and ran on the winning 3,200 relay team.
- New York education officials have voted to recognize competitive cheerleading as a sport to improve safety and coaching standards.
New York had been considering whether to recognize cheerleading as an interscholastic sport since 2009. State officials say 34 states and the District of Columbia currently do so. The PIAA has sponsored cheerleading championships for the past two school years.
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association already has drafted proposed rules and regulations.
The state Board of Regents voted unanimously in favor of the measure a day after it was approved by one of its committees.
The Regents say the measure will help ensure that coaches are properly trained and that schools follow a common set of standards. Right now, there are no limits on the length of seasons or required practice days.

Personal Description:
To our mother Kay Bartlett. You were the the best mom, friend, sister, and aunt. We love you with all of our hearts and we will miss you forever. We will cherish precious memories always.
Personal Description:
We lost our beloved mother Kay on her 72nd birthday, October 18th 2009, after a four year battle with Ovarian Cancer. She fought a tough battle with dignity and always remained strong and positive. She lived her 72 years to their fullest, and she surrounded herself with her family and many friends who adored her.
Last updated on: 10/20/2009
Chip and Michelle – my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that your friends are here for you. In honor of your mom…

Julia White – 10/21/2009
Kay will be dearly missed by all of us at Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics. Kay is one of those special people one meets in this life that transcends a work relationship and becomes a true friend. I will always cherish our special lunches and times together here at my store. I always loved hearing about her family and enjoyed how she lit up when speaking about them. I am so glad that I was able to take a little bit of video of her one of the last times she was in the store and would be happy to share that with her family. She was a true being of light and love and will shine on all of those who knew her always.

Gina and Todd Murray – 10/21/2009
Dear Michelle; Chip and family. Kay and I worked together since 1982; some 27 years. I would think that within those 27 years there wasn't a 2 week period that Kay and I didn't talk to each other. Either it was about an exciting sale; a problem or just about life.
Kay cared about me ; my company ; her customers and most of all her children and family. She will be missed.

My heart just breaks for her, for you two that you have to watch her go tuhorgh all of this, and for your family. Thank you for being willing to sacrifice everything to take care of her. God knew you guys would do it. My husband and I were talking about how God clearly provided for her to be taken care of- by a family. Not to be left alone with no one during a terrible time. And just like anything else, you should not bear that alone. Of course God provides for all of your needs- which includes us all doing our part. To pray and support you guys in every way needed. I am begging God on her behalf to heal her. Thank you again for being more than willing to sit with her and keeping her from feeling like she is alone. What a blessing to that sweet girl. More importantly thank you for introducing her to Jesus! You could have chosen not to listen to God calling you to her and just moved on. Thank you for not doing that! It is so neat to see how God works and that he does actually have perfect plans- he doesn't just say he does. I am just sitting here crying for all of you. Hang in there. You all are not along either!

1945-1998 Bulletin backfile available via Google Books
As of December 9, 2008, 53 years of Bulletin content is now available online for free at Google Books. This archive begins with the first issue of the magazine--originally published in December 1945--and includes every year thereafter until 1998.
"For years, we've worked to make as much information as possible accessible online, whether that information comes from books, newspapers, or images," Google said in an announcement. "We think that bringing more magazines online is one more important step toward our long-standing goal of providing access to all the world's information."
Other publications included in this new initiative include New York, Popular Mechanics, and Ebony.
In the weeks and months ahead, Google will continue to make refinements to the Bulletin Archive and it will be incorporated significantly into our website. Along these lines, in January, we expect to launch the most recent 10 years of Bulletin content (1999-2008) in the John A. Simpson Collection--meaning the complete 63-year backfile of the Bulletin will be available online. Source documents accompanying many Bulletin articles also will be offered within the Simpson Collection.

Despite higher gas prices, millions of Americans hit the road Friday for the last getaway of the summer in what was expected to be the busiest Labor Day weekend in eight years.
AAA predicted 33.4 million Americans would travel at least 50 miles from home this weekend, the highest number since 1995. And 28.2 million, or 84 percent, were expected to travel by motor vehicle.
Drivers who hadn't filled up lately were in for an unpleasant surprise: Gasoline prices have hit record highs in many parts of the country after the Northeast blackout shut down refineries and a pipeline broke in Arizona.
Earlier this week, the Lundberg Survey reported its biggest two-week jump ever - 15 cents per gallon - and a national average of nearly $1.75 per gallon, just short of the survey's all-time high weighted average.
The prices left many drivers peeved but undeterred.
"At most, I may have to spend $10 or $15 more, but I'm not going to cancel a trip for $10," said Michael Moses as he filled up at a New Orleans service station Friday, his last task before departing for Pensacola, Fla., three hours away.
Travel was slightly off at the airports. AAA predicted 3.7 million tourists will fly, down from a year ago. Air Transport Association spokeswoman Diana Cronan said travel was down in May through July, and she also expects it to be off some over Labor Day.
"The economy, the hassle factor with security - many travelers are feeling the extra amount of time that is needed in the airports, and it just makes it easier on some of your shorter flights to drive," Cronan said.
At a gas station in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kan., motorists waited in line for about an hour to pay just 97 cents a gallon in a radio station promotion.
Most people, though, had to pay full price.
"We thought we'd bite the bullet, but we sure didn't like it," said Jim Jackson of Fort Wayne, Ind., at a Massachusetts Turnpike rest stop west of Boston. He was a thousand miles into a nearly 2,000-mile end-of-summer journey with his wife and 3-year-old great granddaughter, Hannahrose.
AAA spokesman Jerry Cheske said prices may have affected some plans, but cheap hotel deals made up for it.
"I don't believe (gas prices) will affect anyone significantly," Cheske said. "With the kind of traveling you're talking about, a three-and-a-half day holiday, it really doesn't add a huge amount to your expenses. Your top expenses are lodging and food."
In California, nature offered its own reasons for travelers to stay home. Several beaches in San Luis Obispo County were to remain closed until at least Tuesday due to shark warnings. And in the Angeles National Forest outside Los Angeles, officials warned Labor Day weekend visitors to beware of black bears.
"Bears are on a hunt for lots of calories to get them through the winter," said California Fish and Game spokeswoman Lorna Bernard.
Anne Waple of the National Weather Service said good weekend weather was expected over most of the country except for storms along the Gulf Coast and scattered showers throughout the South and mid-Atlantic.
Robbie Robinson of San Antonio flew to Nashville, but rented a car for the final 115 miles of his trip to a 20-year high school reunion in Chattanooga, Tenn. The gas prices left him none too happy, though driving was still cheaper than a connecting flight.
"It's price gouging, and the whole industry is guzzling money," he said in Nashville.

Where does Hollywood get many of their ideas? Comic books? Yes. TV shows from the 1970s? *Sigh* - yes. But also from books! Real books! This year's Academy Award nominations were announced this week, including 5 films for Best Adapted Screen Play - 4 of which are based on books. The fifth film, Toy Story 3 is based on a original treatment of the first movie (or something).If you liked these movies - you might try the original too! I know I am adding several of these to my to-read list.Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron RalstonThis memoir is the basis for Danny Boyle's film 127 Hours and tells the amazing true story of a hiker who had to make a terrible decision after being trapped and injured alone in the desert for over five days. As a sometimes solo hiker, I am intrigued by this story. Both movie and book are on my list.
What an incredibly moving testament to women's friendship. Two Boston area writers who met at a reading but only came to know each other when they were raising puppies at the same time and their dog trainer suggested that they would hit it off.Caroline was a rower and essayist; Gail, a swimmer and book critic. Both were determined, competitive, tough, and shy. One of Gail's friends nicknamed her "the gregarious hermit." Caroline's dog was a shepherd mix. Gail finally adopted the pristine white samoyed she had always longed for. Caroline stayed in the Cambridge area where she had grown up, while Gail had left her beloved high-country Texas although she still pined for it.
Every year the Michael L. Printz award is given to recognize excellence in Young Adult Literature. The American Library Association's publication, Booklist, is the sponsor of the award which was announced two weeks ago. The announcement slipped my notice, but both the winner and several of the honored titles look too good to not pass along.2011 Printz Winner:Ship Breaker by Paolo BacigalupiIn a futuristic world, teenaged Nailer scavenges copper wiring from grounded oil tankers for a living, but when he finds a beached clipper ship with a girl in the wreckage, he has to decide if he should strip the ship for its wealth or rescue the girl.
Last night, the 2011 One Book, One Bloomington Community Read title was announced on WFHB's Interchange radio program.This year, the community voted for Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann.Frank McCourt had this to say about this National Book Award winner, "trust me, this is the sort of book that you will take off your shelf over and over again as the years go along. It's a story of the early 1970s, but it's also the story of our present times. And it is, in many ways, a story of a moment of lasting redemption even in the face of all the evidence....I didn't want to stop turning the pages. I'm really not sure what McCann will do after this, but this is a great New York book, not just for New Yorkers but for anyone who walks any sort of tightrope at all. And yes, it doesn't surprise me that it takes an Irishman to capture the heart of the city." This novel captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, promise, and soon-to-be-ended innocence.

Amy Bloom, who used to be a practicing psychotherapist, has won many awards for her short stories. Her latest collection Where the God of Love Hangs Out examines love in many aspects. Bloom shows how it's possible to fall for an older man with a beer belly who suffers from gout and a life-threatening heart condition. The book features two sets of interrelated stories, the first about two couples--close, long-term friends--whose lives are broken apart and rearranged in new and unconventional ways. The second set of stories explores the lives of a jazz musician's widow and her young adult son, Lionel. These four stories reveal how grief makes some people emotionally vulnerable and susceptible to poor life choices.
This novel examines the writing process itself especially that nerve-wracking period when an author first shares her work with other people. Nancy writes for a medical newsletter for a living; how ironic, she often thinks, that a doctor's daughter researches articles about prostate health, skin cancer, even empty nest syndrome, and then makes pronouncements about them in the voice of a medical practitioner rather than her own. Her novel is a deeply personal story, one that imagines her father's life beginning with the night he watched a couple say good-bye to their newborn daughter. Nancy has waited until after her father's death to imagine his story. And as in all fiction, the bare biographical facts are merely a springboard to the tale, not its actual foundation.
I will come right out and say that I do not like superheroes (movie or print) and I didn't read comic books as a kid, so I am not naturally drawn to the graphic novel format. Because I'm kind of a nerd, what I do like is big fat novels and dusty historical non-fiction. So color me surprised when recently I've been enjoying more graphic novels. Last night as I finished Mercury by Hope Larson I began to wonder and hope that the reason went beyond the fact that I can read on in a single sitting -- though that is very satisfying too! My rationale is that I've been craving something different. I have read enough fiction to be somewhat bored with a traditional storyline. I want to think while I read -- to be engaged! And picking up some graphic novels has been the way to do that recently. I've tried to compile a list of graphic novels for the hesitant -- for anyone who thought that they weren't interested. Give one a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

It's hard to imagine a more effective antidote for the aura of despair that has surrounded the U.S. space program since the accident that destroyed the space shuttle Challenger in 1986. The tape's producer-director, Craig Jackson, is an audio engineer with the NASA television and film division, and he culled official NASA footage of the first 24 shuttle flights for these 28 minutes. This is a sanitized production; there are no shots of people throwing up or even looking apprehensive. But the lack of objectivity seems excusable. Organized to parallel the chronology of a typical flight—preparation, takeoff, orbit, landing—it includes a sound track that has music (Vangelis-like synthesizer background music, also created by Jackson) but no narration. That effectively focuses attention on the screen. And what images! In some ways, they often seem less realistic than sci-fi movie special effects. Seen behind astronauts who are working outside the shuttle as it orbits, for instance, the Earth seems surreal—too huge, too blue, too beautiful to be true. Without having to consider the immediate details, a viewer also has time to appreciate the immensity of the shuttles' achievement and the courage and spirit of the astronauts. A segment in which Jackson shows clips of various astronauts floating weightless inside the orbiting shuttles, tossing paper airplanes, tumbling, munching on floating bananas and generally horsing around, is particularly affecting. In the midst of such a prodigious enterprise of the imagination and intellect, these playful, casual moments seem to perfectly round out the image of what we want our heroes and heroines, and ourselves, to be.

Leading up to this month's draft, Purple Jesus Diaries will take time analyzing potential draft targets for the Minnesota Vikings. With our cutting edge video technology, long hours spent scouting literally DOZENS of college players from our couch, and insight from Vikings meathead CapitalJsCorner, we're give you details you never even dreamed of from prospects that could help the Vikings in 2013. Based on the team needs established in our offensive and defensive team reviews, we present to you the 2013 Who Ya Gonna Draft? feature …
Jamar Taylor, CB from Boise State, is an interesting prospect. He had a nice little career out in Idaho, and then went to the NFL combine and went HULK on the tests. He was a top performer in the 40 yard dash (4.39 seconds), did 22 bench press reps with one arm (allegedly), clocked a 4.06 seconds in the shuttle run. That means he goes side to side super swell! I'd guess normally people would look at Boise State prospects and be like, "What, him? Is he funny?" and I'd tell them to go eat a mayon-egg. But the fact is Chris Pederson, coach at Boise, is a god damn stud, and if he can get guys to play well for his college team, they're cool for my professional team. And remember when we really wanted to draft that other corner out of Boise, Kyle Wilson I think it was? Well, maybe this is like comeuppance for that or something. I don't know.
Capital Js Take:
Jamar Taylor is projected to go in the late first or early 2nd round. He'd likely be a 2nd round pick if not for an excellent combine in which he was among the top performers in the 40, bench press, and 20 yard shuttle. He has experience in zone and man schemes, but lacks consistency in run support. He has all the physical tools, but just needs to put it all together.
NFL.com Notes:
As before, let's do a little GOOD! and BAD! news for Jamar Taylor here. First, the good news from NFL.com:
|Not afraid to get physical with receivers, often redirects their routes with strong hands. Very good straight-line speed. Works well in press-bail coverage. Fluid hips, smooth in turns and out of the back pedal. Shows the athletic ability to make plays on the football in contested situations. Will stick his nose in the run game when he is able to set the edge.
And now the BAD, BOOOOO!!!
|Recovery speed is questionable. Poor technique in press coverage. Gives up too much ground on outside breaking routes. Can be fooled by play action, jumps up to allow free receivers behind him. Must bring in more difficult interceptions where he needs to uses his hands away from his frame. Inconsistent tackler in space, can break down to wrap legs but also gives weak cut efforts.
What does it mean to "Stick his nose in the run game"? Do they mean he's not very good at it but he sure gives his all? Or is it more he does just enough to make it look like he's trying but never actually accomplishes anything? He just puts an arm out as a guy is running by? It makes no sense.
Inevitably, a cornerback that may be of interest to the Vikings who is 5'11" is going to have comparisons drawn to Antoine Winfield, and frankly, that's insulting to Winfield. Jamar Taylor may have some potential, and the Vikings are certainly thin at cornerback right now, but you have to ask, is this the right guy? I think traditionally you always think of the NFC North as being the pass happy league with big bodied receives, but – what – there's Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall? And Jay Cutler is awful? We have Chris Cook who is supposed to cover those guys, so do the Vikings have to invest their cornerback selection into another big fella, or can they just take someone who can cover his zone and beat someone up? I like that Taylor here is strong, isn't afraid to "get his nose" into stuff (buttholes, maybe?), so I'm sure he'd be fine.
BUUUUUUTTTTTTTT, I highly doubt we draft him. Which is unfortunate, because he would make an AMAZING Shirtless Vikings. And, uh, owner of a "Banana Stand."

After rising to record-high prices in 2012, corn became one of 2013's worst-performing commodities. The trend is expected to continue in 2014, which does not augur well for farm equipment makers such as Deere & Company (NYSE: DE ) and AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGO ) .
Corn prices struggle
Corn prices surged to a record high level of $8.49 a bushel in August 2012, driven by one of the worst droughts in U.S. history. The record high price of corn in 2012 prompted farmers to plant 97.4 million acres of corn for the 2013 growing season, the most planted since 1936.
Not surprisingly, this pushed corn prices down sharply. Corn futures for March delivery are currently hovering around $4.275 a bushel on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, down around 50% from the August 2012 record high. More importantly, prices are expected to remain at this level in 2014.
According to estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers are expected to collect an average of $4.40 a bushel for the year ending Aug. 31, 2014. Another factor that is expected to keep corn prices down is a proposed lower ethanol mandate.
With corn prices expected to remain under pressure, the outlook for farm equipment manufacturers is gloomy heading into 2014.
Tough times ahead
Demand for farm equipment has a strong correlation with prices for corn and other farm commodities. The high price of corn in 2012 had boosted equipment demand, benefiting companies such as Deere and AGCO Corporation. However, farmers are expected to plant fewer acres in 2014 due to lower prices, and as a result, they will likely spend significantly less on equipment.
The weakness in the farm economy was also highlighted in the fourth-quarter results Deere released back in November.
Deere's worldwide net sales and revenues fell 3% in the quarter, with net sales of the worldwide equipment operation falling 5%. Sales at Deere's Agriculture & Turf division fell 4% in the quarter. For full-year 2014, Deere expects sales of agriculture and turf equipment to fall by around 6%.
The company noted that although commodity prices and farm incomes are expected to remain at healthy levels in 2014 by historical standards, they are expected to be lower than in 2013. Deere expects this to have a negative impact on demand, primarily for large farm equipment. It forecasts industry sales for agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada to drop between 5% and 10% in 2014.
While AGCO Corporation had posted higher profits in its third quarter back in October, the company's earnings for the fourth quarter missed Street estimates. The company also said that it expected modest growth in North America for the remainder of the year. AGCO Corporation will release its fourth-quarter results in February 2014, and I expect them to once again disappoint, since the company is likely to feel the negative impact of lower corn prices.
Valuation attractive but I am bearish
Both Deere and AGCO Corporation are attractively valued at the moment. Deere, which also manufactures construction equipment, is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 10. Rival AGCO Corporation, which has gained more than 20%, is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 10.47. Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) , which competes with Deere in the construction equipment space, is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 17.30.
Despite the attractive valuation, I am bearish on Deere and AGCO due to the weak outlook for farm equipment sales. Given the uncertainty in the U.S. housing market due to higher mortgage rates, I don't expect Deere's construction equipment division to offset weakness in the agriculture equipment division. While both Deere and AGCO Corporation recorded higher profit in their most recently reported quarterly results, they are likely to face negative earnings pressure going forward due to weaker sales.

NAIROBI, Kenya – A U.S. official says the famine in Somalia has killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5. The United Nations has said that tens of thousands of people have died in the Horn of Africa's drought and famine, but the U.S. estimate is the first precise death toll offered in the crisis.
Nancy Lindborg, an official with the U.S. government aid arm, told a congressional committee in Washington on Wednesday that the U.S. estimates that more than 29,000 children under age 5 have died in the last 90 days in southern Somalia.
The U.N. on Wednesday declared three new regions in Somalia famine zones. Out of a population of roughly 7.5 million, the U.N. says 3.2 million Somalis are in need of immediate lifesaving assistance.
Getting aid to the country has been difficult because al Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab controls much of the country's most desperate areas.

Objective. To assess the screening performance of direct visual inspection with acetic acid and ×2 magnification (VIAM) in a previously screened population, as performed by experienced gynecologic nurses with minimal training in VIAM.
Patients and Methods. Performance of VIAM was evaluated in 2,080 women from a population-based cohort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, 5 years after they had negative enrollment results of conventional and liquid-based cytologic analysis, cervigram, and human papillomavirus DNA by Hybrid Capture Tube Test (Digene Corporation, Gaithersburg, MD). The VIAM results were compared with repeat conventional Pap smears, liquid-based cytologic examinations, and cervicography, with adjudication of differences by reference to MY09/MY11 L1 consensus primer polymerase chain reaction detection of oncogenic human papillomavirus DNA.
Results. Less than 5% of women were classified as having positive results using VIAM. The VIAM positivity was also very low among women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion conventional Pap smear results (8.3%), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion liquid-based cytologic results (6.3%), or cervigrams suggesting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2,3 or cancer (30%). The VIAM positivity was not associated with human papillomavirus DNA positivity.
Conclusions. As we practiced it, VIAM was not sensitive for detection of possibly serious incident cervical lesions in this previously screened population where cytologic screening is in place.

Do you have a best friend that lives far away? How often do you get to see your friend?
in all honesty... besides DH I dont have a best friend. I do have one close friend up here but I dont know about labeling it best friend... and I feel like we might be drifting apart a little lately. When we get together things are good... but our playdates are getting further and further apart.. maybe its just a busy time of year for everyone... I dunno.
Yes I do. My best friend has been my best friend since we were in the 6th grade, close to 40 years now. I live in TX, she lives in OK. It's been about 3 years since I've seen her I guess. I'm hopeful that we will be able to take a few extra days when we go to OK next summer for our family reunion and go see her.
Yup...my best friend has been like my sister since I was 12 and I'm almost 34. She moved 4 hours away about 5 years ago! I see her once a year. She lives near the aquarium we like to take the girls to.
My best friend lives 5 hours away. We use to see each other a few times a year. Now that the kids are grown and we are busy with life and grandchildren, etc. We see each other at least 1 time a year. We talk a least once a month on the phone.
My BFF lives an hour away & sadly I see her maybe once every couple of months. I try to do it each month but that doesn't always happen.
I do. Shes also my sister in law. We see each other maybe once a year

Letters to the editor: Vouchers for veterans needed
As a veteran, it breaks my heart when I hear or read negative stories about medical care concerning veterans especially because I served in the medical services.
I was lucky. I served in the Air Force during a time of peace from 1975 to 1979. There was one unique principal. If you were not a doctor or a physician's assistant, a properly trained medic could do just about anything for a patient as long as it was reversible.
I've sewed up wounds, glued a punched-out tooth back in place at 1 a.m. for the doctor to see the next day, cleaned wounds, wrapped sprains, set a temporary bone break -- I could go on. I have been a patient at the Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center and found the quality of care and quality of interest in care to be outstanding.
On a national basis, the problem is twofold. First the VA is a huge bureaucracy, and it cannot be applied locally the same way in every hospital or town. What works in Erie might not work in Albuquerque, N.M. Most importantly, the demand for care far exceeds the supply.
In this time of Obamacare, it is time to recognize that very simple fact. It is time to move VA medical benefits in line with Medicare benefits and allow veterans to see private doctors with the VA paying vouchers for services. This is the only way to relieve the demand for services on the VA medical system, because building and staffing more hospitals is economically unfeasible.
I understand the strains doctors have caring for Medicare patients and some have refused to do so as payments are low and their costs are high.
What doctor would turn away a veteran? After all, it is because of veterans that they can practice medicine in a free country.

RELCO system
deserves support
In reply to letters from Dave Martin ("'Podunk town' doesn't need RELCO system," Erie Times-News, May 1) and McCrea Kunkle ("RELCO repairs aren't wanted," Erie Times-News, May 10), I would like to offer the following:
The RELCO system is not obsolete. It is being rebuilt with solid state electronics in the emergency vehicles and at the intersections. This will enable the system to react more quickly when pre-emption is activated. The original system and receivers operated with vacuum tubes that were slow to react.
I agree with Martin that emergency vehicles approach intersections cautiously, and with due regard to the other motorists. Why not enable another margin of safety by having the green light?
With ambulances especially, having the right of way makes for a smoother, safer ride for the patient, and makes it safer for the crew members who are working on the patient in the back.
In response to Kunkle, what he experienced was not system failure at an intersection. For many emergency calls, there are numerous fire department vehicles, ambulances and police cars going to the same call. All are traveling from different directions. So if you see an emergency vehicle or hear a siren, there is more than likely one emergency vehicle in the area.
If an emergency vehicle has gone through an intersection, have heightened vigilance. There is most likely another emergency vehicle in proximity.
The last point I would like to make is that most motor vehicle accidents involving an emergency vehicle occur at intersections. I was involved in such an accident in 1994. Had the driver that hit our ambulance been paying attention, the accident could have been avoided. I was off work for nine months, and my partner never returned to work.
Every major emergency service agency in the Erie metropolitan area has submitted letters of support for the pre-emption system.
As an EMT and paramedic for 36 years, I cannot stress how important the much-improved RELCO system will be for any emergency vehicle and the motoring public traveling in the Erie area. Response times will be shorter, and even a minute or two could prove to be lifesaving.

of inmates unfair
NPR has been running stories about the common practice in our society of putting people in jail who can't pay their fines or court fees. At least 40 states practice this sort of thing, and some actually demand that prisoners pay for their own incarceration.
There are fancy ways to treat this issue with an academic fine-tooth comb, but to speak frankly, these laws and practices are evil and disgusting. To force a person into jail or prison, and then expect him or her to pay for their own confinement, is just perverse and mean-spirited.
Clearly, these laws were passed and are enforced by not very smart officials. First, they are not fair. They devastate poor folks while the nonpoor just pay the fines or court fees. They virtually guarantee continued failure for poor folks, who can't afford the fine or fees. They are put in jail where they can't work (or must pay for their own confinement), and they finally are released in a condition more destitute than they were before. Desperate people are high risks for committing crimes.
One "letter of the law" judge in Michigan is proud of being "fair" because he makes no exceptions: whoever breaks the law must either pay the fine or go to jail. Hence, once he broke a law, held himself in contempt, and paid the required $25 fine. Surely, he has a "dim bulb" or a sick sense of humor.
These laws are a throwback to the debtors prisons of the 18th century and earlier. They fuel the Marxist quip that in capitalist society, smug conservatives feel they are fair and just because both a poor man and a rich man will be punished under the law for stealing a loaf of bread.

Military readiness
starts with children
Adding new technology to our armed forces' arsenal is a critical national security strategy. New weapons -- like the Navy's Laser Weapon System -- will redefine naval warfare. Using lasers instead of gunpowder, these weapons will help the U.S. Navy remain the most capable and sophisticated naval power in the world.
Leading-edge military equipment, however, is only as good as the men and women operating it. That is why I find a Department of Defense report troubling that shows 75 percent of young Americans are unfit for military service because they are either too poorly educated, have serious criminal records or are obese. This level of ineligibility among our young adults presents a real recruiting problem for the armed forces and a potential national security challenge.
It is obvious to me and my fellow admirals and generals of Mission: Readiness -- Military Leaders for Kids that we must do much more to adequately prepare our children for the future, whether they join the military or pursue civilian careers. Like futuristic weapons, investing in future human capital is also a critical national security strategy.

As you all know, Edge is now retired and he will no longer grace the fans with his presence in the ring. When we think about him, it's natural to think about the WWE Hall Of Fame.
In his case, it's not a matter of "if" but of "when" he will be inducted. There is no doubt he will make it as soon as Vince McMahon thinks it's the best time.
But, just in case there is one person on this planet who has any doubt, I made the following slideshow.
I have seen a lot of articles about The Rated-R Superstar on B/R; it goes from tributes to lists of his greatest moments. I started to work on the current article as soon as I heard the shocking news of his retirement, but I had to put it on hold.
Fortunately, what I had in mind was a little bit different from what I saw so far so I decided to give it a go anyway to continue.
The following is a tribute to The Ultimate Opportunist, a wrestler who has put his body on the line for the last 13 years. He was not as flashy as some other legends, but it is probably what made so many fans loving him so much, no matter the storyline he was put in.
I came up with 20 reasons that justify his induction into the Hall Of Fame sooner rather than later, as the leader of his class. So, with no more introduction, let's see why Edge is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Ah, that coat is insane! It makes me think of a refrigerator, actually. She really does look 2D. It's incredible bizarre, but I can appreciate the weirdness.
I love the red dress, and the way the black dress looks like it was spun onto her.

Rutgers University's two governing boards are set to vote next week on a statement opposing a proposed deal in which the university would hand control of its Camden campus to an independent board, potentially dealing a major blow to Gov. Christie's plans to restructure New Jersey's public universities.
In a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, the board of trustees and the board of governors each will vote on a "statement of principles" saying Rutgers is open to collaboration with other schools and to giving greater autonomy to its campuses in Camden and Newark, as long as ultimate control remains with the two boards, according to officials close to the talks. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the issue.

Police warn of suspicious couple knocking on doors
DANVILLE – Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden area, but the couple could be simply completing a survey.
State police say they received a complaint on Feb. 2 where a black man, approximately 6'3'' tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old and a white woman with dark brown hair arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
A complaint on Feb. 3 described the same couple leaving pamphlets at New England Homecare Union, United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont. The pamphlet listed a website for Service Employees International Union.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont and it is believed this couple is doing the same. However, police are still trying to identify the couple and verify their involvement.
State police are encouraging residents to ask for identification during visits from unfamiliar individuals.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

Tour operator in local business boost
Published 02/10/2012 | 17:00
MALAHIDE CHAMBER of Commerce has been in contact with a tour operator, Destination Services Ireland, who has agreed to bring a series of tour coaches to visit and shop in Malahide which will provide a huge boost to business in the town.
The chamber have liaised with the tour operator to ensure this business comes to the town and in conjunction with local Garda Sergeant Cox, have arranged coach parking for the visiting tourists who are coming mostly from Norway. As Norway is not in the EU, they are entitled to Tax Free Shopping, so local business hope they will use the opportunity to spend some of their money in Malahide and enjoy the beautiful coastal village on their short visit. The first coaches stopped in the village on September 21 and are due back in town on October 6 and October 12.

We are challenging scientists to take part in the 2014 Flame Challenge and answer a vibrant question asked by 11-year-olds from around the country:
What is Color?
The Flame Challenge is an international contest started by Alan Alda that asks scientists to communicate complex science in ways that would interest and enlighten an 11-year-old.
"The Flame Challenge has grown from scientists trying to answer the question of one 11-year old (me) from many decades ago, to tackling questions on the minds of thousands of current 11-year olds from around the world," said Alda. "I'm in awe of the scientists who can bring clarity to these questions and I'm in awe of the kids who keep the scientists on their toes."
It's a fundamental question that spans the sciences. It can be answered from the perspective of physics, chemistry, psychology, even from a geological or oceanographic perspective. To choose this year's challenge, The Alda Center collected more than 800 questions from children from all over the world. Many different questions were asked about color, including "Is my blue their blue?" "Does everyone see color the same?" and, even one of the most classic childhood questions, "Why is the sky blue?"

Lomography in my life!!!2 3
As everything photo- related is kind of hard to be the first in my family…
Mom works with photographic conservation and dad has had a lot of fun taking and developing is own pics back in the day!!
Vaguelly I can remember the first time I heard about Lomo, more especific, a LC+A.
My dad just had the most bizarre idea: get a camera shiped from Russia through on of our friends from there!
Ok, why this man keeps buying bizarre cameras?
I asked myself at the age of 10!
Almost 13 years later, in a sunny sunday in Rio my mom wakes me up "take a look, I have to get on of this cameras!!"
And I'm like, really?? Film cameras all over again?
I want a super, ultra high tech digital one!!
Few minutes more… Mom, I want all of them!!! Where can I buy it?
From this point on the histery began: what camera should I buy, what film is the best, where doi develop…
Since then we have a colection of 3 Lomos + 2 Russians + 1 Lomo I gave to by boyfriend (spreading the word…)
And a Diana Glow is coming for Christman!!!!
So, about 3 months ago this is how it all began!

Ford's Aerostar minivan is unusually smooth, quiet, refined and comfortable. Our test Aerostar, a silver, all-wheel-drive model, proved a cut above most other minivans. Although it does not offer the seating versatility of the Mercury Villager or Nissan Quest - the best minivans on the market - the Aerostar's refined handling, performance and quality put it in a special class. According to Ford, the 1994 model year will be the Aerostar's swan song. In April Ford dealers will receive the Aerostar's replacement, a larger, front-wheel-drive minivan called the Windstar. But dealers are pleading with Ford to continue building the Aerostar because they are selling every one they get. Our test van was a '93 model, but the '94 model is virtually identical. PERFORMANCE The Aerostar is not one of those vehicles that impress you with their brute strength. Generally, it offers smooth and steady acceleration, but when the time comes to pass another vehicle or merge onto a busy interstate, you really have to put your foot into the accelerator to get the vehicle moving. The full-time, all-wheel-drive system saps some of the engine's power. But the tradeoff - better traction on wet roads - is worth it. Ford spokesman Woody Haines in Detroit said 60 percent of the power from the engine drives the rear wheels and 40 percent drives the front wheels. That changes if the wheels lose traction on slick pavement. Then the wheels that need more traction get it, Haines said. Our test vehicle came outfitted with a 155-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 and computer-controlled automatic. Some '93 and '94 models are available with a five-speed manual. HANDLING The Aerostar's ride is soft but firm. It's firm in that the body stays straight and poised while cornering. But it is soft in that the suspension system does a good job of muffling most bumps. A power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system allows the Aerostar to be maneuvered easily into and out of tight spots. The front disc and rear drum brakes are powerful, but no four-wheel anti-lock system is available. ABS is active only on the rear wheels. I give the Aerostar high marks for its easy handling and all-round road manners. FIT AND FINISH There's only one area where the Aerostar shows its age: the seating arrangements. On the Villager and Quest minivans, the rear seats slide on a track, or they can be tilted forward to provide a flat surface. Or they can easily be lifted out to expose a flat area big enough to hold sheets of plywood. The Aerostar test vehicle, a seven-passenger version, featured two rows of bench seats that could fold into a bed. That's a nice touch, but it takes a little work to flip the levers and push the heavy seat cushions. Also removing the seats is a two-person job. They are heavy and a bit cumbersome. On the plus side of the ledger, the seats, front and rear, are v ery comfortable. Average-sized rear passengers should find plenty of shoulder room. And a rear air conditioner should keep them comfortable in hot weather. Computerized dashboards haven't gone over well with most buyers. In fact, they are all but gone from today's vehicles. Our test Aerostar had a computerized dash that displayed information in bright green characters. Yet this one works. Three buttons on the dash allow the driver to call up just about any piece of information he or she might need. For instance, you can switch from English to metric, get a readout of how many miles the Aerostar can travel before it runs out of fuel, or get an instant report on fuel economy. With a price of more than $25,000, you would expect the Aerostar to be well-equipped with accessories. It is. Its interior appointments include cruise control, power windows, door locks and mirrors, a high performance radio and automatic lights. For safety, there's a driver's side air b g and two built-in child safety seats in the middle bench seat. Smaller touches include numerous places to store small items and a compartment in the center console to store an automatic garage-door opener. Officially '94 is the last year for the Aerostar, but if it continues to sell as well, there's a chance Ford might continue to build it until demand is satisfied. Either way, the Aerostar is a superb minivan by any standard of measure. Truett's tip: Ford's Aerostar minivan has been improved every year that it has been on the market. The all-wheel-drive version is a vehicle designed for easy handling in bad weather.
