It's every local's dream. Food as diverse as the mix of cultures in Hawaii's tasty melting pot - all within 20 steps. The Maui Fair fuses eats from Hawaiian, Japanese, Filipino, Hispanic, American, Chinese and other backgrounds, and offers them via 40 booths from isle nonprofits. Picture a potluck-plate-lunch block party, with a big food tent full of friends and family you haven't seen in a while. Only on Maui, and only in Hawaii, can community taste this ono. Here's your guide to food not to be missed on the final fair day today. So eat up, because we all know it won't get this good until the same time, same place next year.

Austin Schlather, 4, isn't picky when it comes to ice cream, said dad Charlie. The Makawao duo came down to the fair on opening day to hit the food booths and other festivities.

{St. Anthony Jr./Sr. High School}
Corn on the cob $3; Tutti Frutti $3
Cups of Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt are offered in several flavors. I got the chocolate and vanilla swirl, which came with a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips. If you go to a Tutti Frutti store, the yogurt is soft serve. This was obviously put in cups at the store and frozen for transport and sale at the fair. It was delicious but it was rock hard. I mean really hard. My spoon picked up nothing on the first swipe across the cup. But if you buy it at the same time as the rest of your food and give it time to thaw while you're eating other things, you'll have no complaints.

{Central Maui Backers}
Ice cream, scoop $3, extra scoop $2; sundae $6; float, small $6, large $7
Root beer float: Vanilla ice cream and root beer. It's nostalgia in a cup. A heaping scoop of ice cream bobs in the bubbly soda, melting ever so slowly. You can't go wrong combining this classic with a fair. Sweet, but not too sweet, a float can complement any meal or stand alone. Haven't had a root beer float since childhood? The quality ingredients used by the Central Maui Backers make this old-time favorite better than ever.

Hawaiian plate (kalua pig, chicken long rice, squid luau, lomi salmon, ahi poke, haupia, rice or poi) regular plate $10, mini plate $8, keiki bowl $6
The ultimate Hawaiian plate with a little bit of everything left me loosening my belt after devouring the smorgasbord of tasty delights. The main course is clearly the kalua pig bedded next to two scoops rice. With delectable portions of lomi salmon, ahi poke, squid luau on the sidelines, the haupia finished off a beautiful meal. One warning, don't go on any crazy rides after this one because wasting this full meal to a stomach that protests would be a crime of the sustenance kind. For anyone who has the need for speed, whirls and twirls, opt for the mini plate ? better chance it survives the evening where it is supposed to be. For the little ones, the keiki bowl will put a smile on their faces and save mom and dad a little scratch for the rides.

{Lodge-Maui Temple}
Loco moco $7; $1 for extra rice, $1 for a second egg, $2 for second patty.
I've eaten loco moco at the world famous Cafe 100 in Hilo, where some say the dish was invented. Hamburger patty on rice, doused in brown gravy topped off with a fried egg. This loco moco was tasty; the flavors of the patty, gravy, over-easy egg on the blanket of white rice blended seamlessly. Throw in a bit of ketchup and Tabasco for a little kick. This loco moco is everything you'd expect in a good, local loco moco.

{Maui Women's Contractor-Auxiliary}
Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread $7 (veggie or meat sauce); bread $3; meatballs and sauce $3
This fair staple is an American staple, and always a popular item, despite not being traditional "fair food." That being said, though, you can't go wrong with some well-cooked noodles, part of a real meal with plenty of sauce and either meatballs or meat sauce.
All the sauces are the typical marinara variety, not too spicy and not bland. The Women's Contractor-Auxiliary also offers a veggie sauce, which is a flavorful marinara. And, of course, the meal comes with two slices of garlic bread (which is also available a la carte). In these days, when "carb" has become a four-letter word, fairgoers, especially those who go on multiple days, should always make room one evening for the spaghetti, preferably with meatballs and an extra order of crispy and not-too-garlicky garlic bread. Then nap under a tree or sleep well in your bed.

{Maui Puerto Rican Club}*
Pastele, gandule rice, salad with bacalao dressing $8
Pastele plate: These days, it seems like everyone's favorite Puerto Rican staple has all but disappeared from the food-scape. That's why each year without fail I head over to the Maui Puerto Rican Club's booth for my yearly fix of this elusive dish. The pasteles are made of a soft banana leaf mixture shaped like tiny burritos and packed with bits of pork and olives. Compared to the mountains of food some fair vendors dish out, the single pastele may seem a bit small, but the added scoop of gandule rice and side salad round out this tasty meal.

{Aikane O Halau Hula O'Keola Ali'iokekai}*
Shoyu chicken plate $6 (full), $4 (mini)
The folks behind the scenes clearly made sure to let the chicken absorb the shoyu flavor, and the payoff is a tasty treat through and through. Count on enjoying the skin, digging into the meat and trying to pick everything available from the bones. You'll get some rice and corn on the side - and if you're not letting them soak up the sauce, you're doing it wrong. The mini plate will provide a filling amount for most people, but there's nothing wrong with going for the full size. After all, there's a good motto for this (and all fair food): If some is good, more is better.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Iao United Church of Christ}
Lemonade or POG, $2; frosty lemonade or frosty POG, $4
Frosty POG: There's nothing better to wash down all that fair food than an ice-cold frosty POG. Hawaii's favorite juice gets even better when served in frozen form. Made up of POG, sherbet and ice blended together, it's a perfect marriage of creamy meets tangy. Judging by the constant flow of customers, looks like I'm not the only one going back for seconds. I dare you to gulp down just one.

{Mana'o Radio}*
BBQ pulled pork: $7 plate; $5 sandwich
All hail the king of fair foods: the pulled pork. Well, even if some fairgoers have another favorite, this reviewer waits 361 days each year until the fair rolls around just for the dish. And no joke, I purchase one pork plate per day it's open. That's four plates in four days. Add up the calories ? I don't care. Here's why: The tender meat is soaked in tangy, sweet sauce, then coupled with homemade mac salad and rice ? an unrivaled balance of sweet, salty, creamy and starch. The portions are generous. And the meat isn't drowning in a pool of BBQ sauce or overly seasoned, which flaws other versions. If you're trying to book it to other booths, get an easy-to-tote sandwich. So in my book, Mana'o Radio reigns as a good organization with a good cause and some dang good food. Unless the recipe changes or another booth usurps its rule, this place will hold my allegiance for years to come.

{Maui Cheer Babes}
Fried chicken with a fried rice bowl $6; fried chicken plate $8; chicken- fried bacon $2
The chicken-fried bacon, undoubtedly, is one of the stranger items, but who doesn't like bacon? The two crunchy battered strips provided also could always be crumpled up and put on top of the fried rice. (Not a bad idea, right?) The bacon comes in a small paper bag, making it easy to carry on the go and get any excess grease off, if that's preferable. The fried rice with juicy hunks of chicken and few veggies comes in a bowl and rarely disappoints.

{Po'okela Church}*
Orange chicken bowl $6
If there were an award for presentation and creativity, Po'okela's orange chicken would sweep the Maui Fair. The sweet and tangy coated chicken pieces, along with rice, corn and a side of hot mustard are perfectly organized in a bento box that's easy to transport through the grassy field that's peppered with not-so-greatly packaged foods. But even more, the plate is really ono. The L&L-made chicken is nothing like Panda Express. The chicken coating is light and tasty, not dense and hard to chew, and sides make the perfect complement. The secret weapon is the creative hot mustard sauce pairing, conceived by Myles Nakashima, who likes to eat it that way. Who knew that orange chicken dunked in hot mustard sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy? Try it and see for yourself.

{Akaku-Maui Community TV}*
Italian Meatball Sandwich $7; Italian Sausage Sandwich $7
A superb treat for the taste buds ? with all organic, local ingredients ? the Italian meatball sandwich is ... perfetto! Hearty, lightly seasoned meatballs kissed with a tame tomato-based sauce are nestled in a plump pillowy bun. Take a bite and the mix melts. Time stops, the screaming of daredevil fairgoers fades into the background and you're transported to another time and place.

{Kahului Full Gospel Temple}
Pork and peas mini plate with rice $5. Pork and veggie lumpia two for $3.
Mini plate: A serving of pleasantly firm meat and peas in a tomato-based sauce sits on a bed of white rice, all in an easy-to-handle 6-inch clamshell. This is a great option for the strategic eater who aims to sample a lot of fair fare without getting weighed down from any one dish. Lumpia: Four-inch-long rolls of goodness are tasty but not greasy, and they're served with a small cup of sweet chili dipping sauce.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Centro De Alcance "El Buen Pastor"}
Tamales $3, pozole $7.50, duritos $3, champurrado $3
For many, the tamale might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about fair food, but it should be part of the shortlist. The fact that it's inexpensive is a draw, for starters, but that's only part of the package. Topped with tomato, lettuce and sour cream, the chicken inside is just the right kind of spicy ? enough to give nice flavor but without prompting you to shove people out of the way while making a beeline to a cold beverage. The masa casing is good too, and you might find yourself trying to scrape any extra bits from the cornhusk.

{Girl Scouts}
Large chicken caesar $7; large caesar $5, small caesar $3, s'mores on a stick $2
If you can't stand another bite of hot, greasy fair food and just want, you know, a SALAD, look no farther than the Girl Scouts booth. The chicken caesar includes chunks of surprisingly moist and tender breast meat, while the plain salad is tasty enough to make an appealing side dish to any of those other protein- and carb-heavy plates. The s'mores ? marshmallows coated in chocolate and graham-cracker crumbs ? are a sweet treat, but, served cold, left me longing for the gooey campfire original.

{Kamehameha Schools - Maui (Hawaiian Ensemble)}*
Poi mochi $3 for bag of six; luau stew $8 plate, $4 bowl
If you're reading this, you're already missing your opportunity to stand in line at the poi mochi stand. And you'll need the extra seconds, and maybe even a plate of another fair food to pass the time, because this is the most popular item at the annual event. There's a reason why it's so good, but Francine "Aunty Mopsy" Aarona of Waiohuli won't tell you. She and her family, though, will be there year after year with aunties, cousins, uncles, moms, dads and siblings to cook up the grinds onsite and serve them with a smile. Simply put: The fried poi mochi is heaven disguised in a small paper bag. It fuses different ethnic backgrounds ? the mochi from the Japanese and the poi from the Hawaiians. It's fried ? but not oily ? and gives a subtle, sweet flavor. If there weren't a five-bag per person limit, we would advise stocking up on a year's worth of poi mochi balls, that way it will last you until the 2012 fair.

{Maui High School Band Booster Club}
Chili rice plate $7; chili rice bowl $5; chili dog $4; hot dog with bun $2
For simple, no-frills comfort food, Maui High's chili rice plate strikes the right note. I wolfed mine down in no time. The chili mix of beans and ground beef was not spiced hot enough for my taste, but my wife hands me Tabasco and says my chili concoction can get too hot for the more subtly tuned palate. Next year, the booster club could try jazzing things up a bit. How about throwing in some whole tomatoes, chopped mushrooms and red onions and bits of Portuguese sausage? While it would cost more and take longer to prepare, fairgoers would probably pay more for a chili virtuoso performance, especially when it's to raise money to help strike up the band.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{St. Ann Church}
Plate lunches: pork adobo, chicken adobo, pinakbet, dinardaraan (pork blood). One choice with rice and corn $8; two choices $10; mini plate $5. Desserts: choice of bibingka (butter mochi) or puto (steamed rice cakes), $3 each or two for $5. Banana lumpia $1 each or six for $5.
Plate lunch: An 8-inch clamshell containing both adobos ? a mound of pork-shoulder chunks alongside four chicken thighs ? plus two scoops of white rice and a good amount of kernel corn make for a substantial and satisfying meal. Lumpia: While a little oily, this dessert item is not excessively sweet and has nice banana flavor.

{Christ the King Filipino Catholic Club}
Pansit $3 cup, $5 pint
Pansit isn't just for Filipinos. This tasty cultural noodle dish packs loads of "ono" that any age and ethnic background will appreciate. And don't be deceived by its modest look: The simple noodles, mushrooms and small shrimp and meat pieces pack a punch. How do they get that full flavor? The secret may never be known. Christ the King is consistently making the pansit just right: It's not overloaded with crazy looking, confusing items, and they don't try to jazz it up ? those pansit approaches miss the point. Also it's worth the price; the dense dish makes for guaranteed grinds.

{Baldwin High School Project Graduation}
Fettuccine alfredo with garlic bread $7; Bradda Pop $2.50
Fettuccine alfredo with garlic bread: Pasta might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of fair fare, but if you're avoiding greasy and fried options, go the Italian route. It's also one of the few vegetarian-friendly foods offered among booth after booth of pork- and chicken-filled dishes that might otherwise tempt a closet meat lover back to the dark side. The fettuccine was al dente, and the rich, creamy sauce coated each noodle well. Add the pesto for an extra layer of flavor. One issue: It's tough to eat long noodles with a small plastic fork without letting the sauce fly, so grab a couple extra napkins for you and your dining companions. The garlic bread, in all its buttery, crispy goodness, completes the meal.

{Achievement Academy}*
Waffle cake delight $6
I don't know how I managed to get the waffle cake booth two years in a row. Guess I'm incredibly lucky. I love the waffle cake delight with "da works." My feet always take me in the direction of that booth as soon as I pass through the fair entrance gate. The waffle (or funnel) cake is hot and crunchy. Get both the strawberry and chocolate syrups and once the ice cream and whipped cream start melting, you've got a delicious mess. This dessert (or breakfast) food comes on a dinner-sized plate. I've never been able to eat an entire one by myself, but the people around me are always happy to help out.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Amigos Con Amigos Hosanna Ministries}
Plate lunches $7 each: choice of carne asada or carne asada burritos with rice and beans, or two fish or two hard-shell chicken tacos with lettuce and cheese.
Carne asada plate: Steak strips with bits of tomato and onion come on an 8-inch plate, alongside refried beans topped with a sprinkling of white and yellow cheese and Mexican rice. Two tortillas come in a separate foil bundle. The flavor of all components is satisfying and will put a little "ole" in your step as you set out to enjoy the fair attractions.

{St. Rita's Church}
Nachos $7
As I approached the booth, a woman standing next to me said something about wanting to try the nachos because they were new this year. I was a little confused because, if memory serves, there's been a nachos booth for years. But maybe a different group is handling the booth this year because they weren't the nachos I remembered. They were better. Lots of chips ? hearty chips that could handle all the toppings without breaking or getting soggy. Lots of cheese. Lots of chili ? but maybe a few too many beans for my taste. The right amount of salsa and just a dollop of sour cream. My only complaint was that the serving was so big I didn't have room for other foods when I was done.

{First Assembly of God-Sonshine Co.}
S&S Spare Ribs $7.50, $4; Fried Ice Cream $5; Zucchini $5; Seasoned Fries $3
As a repeat zucchini customer, it's pleasing to see this fair food staple is a tad bit less delicate than in years past. A robustly seasoned breaded exterior encases long, thin strips of this versatile summer squash, which stay in one piece for ease of dipping in either marinara or ranch. If you think this would be the perfect complement to a main dish, think again. The portion is generous and could suffice as a meal.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Boy Scouts of America}
Pronto Pups $3 for 1 or $5 for 2
Deep-fried to perfection, the pronto pup is an economical snack food at the fair. The breaded outer shell hid a "hot" dog inside. The breaded outer covering was just the right thickness and consistency to go with the dog, not too hard, not too soft and cooked through and through. Did not need ketchup to enjoy this timeless fair food. Pronto pups are so timeless, I made them at the old fairgrounds in Kahului decades ago as a high schooler. I may still have a few oil burns to prove it.

{Kahului Hongwanji Mission}
Chicken hekka $7.50 (full), $5 (mini); taco salad $4.
Finding some space on a bench and sitting down is a good idea with the chicken hekka, both because there's plenty of sauce that you won't want to spill and because the whole thing is worth taking a moment to savor. There's a lot to enjoy, and it's not just a mountain of veggies with some here-and-there chicken. You'll get a good amount of bird as well ? enough to share, if you feel like it. The sauce, of course, is a crucial part, and there's more than enough to handle the meat and greens, and still let you dip in your rice.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Maui United Soccer Club}
New York steak plate with rice and corn $8; baked potato with the works $3; shave ice $2
This booth is one-stop shopping for a meat-and-potatoes guy like me at a price that would force any restaurant on the island out of business. The steak is done to medium-well perfection, cut pupu style and dressed with two scoops rice and corn. For anyone looking for the full monty, add a loaded baker to go with it ? butter, sour cream, bacon bits and chives available on demand. For those who want a lighter fare, go for the baked potato and let yourself know it is a vegetable, after all. End the night with a big grin after taking some time to consider the best combination of shave ice ? my recommendation is rainbow. Just make sure to get there early enough to give the digestive system time to do its work and be ready for a small line ? the payoff is more than worth the wait.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Kiwanis Club of Kahului}
Dry mein $3 small; $5.50 large
Dry mein, or dry noodle, is simple and delicious. Spam, bean sprouts, green onion ? that's pretty much the basics, but the secret is in the seasonings, which vary from family member to family member, group to group. Kahului Kiwanis' batch will satisfy the dry mein craving ? which occurs for some more frequently than others.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Wailuku Hongwanji Mission}*
Chow fun $2 cone; $4 cup; $7 quart
The soft, wide noodles, the crunchy bean sprouts, the aromatic green onions, the spicy meat ? and is that bacon?? As satisfying to your toddler as it is to your grandma, the taste of chow fun is the taste of comfort and harmony in a cone. Why is the line for humble chow fun so much longer than its flashier neighbors? The answer can only be that it is what generations of Mauians grew up eating at fair time. And let's face it: You can't improve on perfection.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Christ the King PTG}
Teriyaki beef plate $7
Teriyaki beef plates can go wrong in a few ways. Beef slices are too thick, sauce is too weak or too strong and/or meat is riddled with gristle. Christ the King PTG's teri beef plates perform none of those atrocities; the group's version can do no wrong. The thin-sliced, full-flavored teri slices are tasty and fine in portion. Sides of rice and corn compliment the trio of meat, veggie and starch, which perhaps rivals shoyu chicken for Hawaii's go-to plate lunch. The only improvement for the plate could've been punching up the corn. Sure, the corn is a far cry from the teri beef's stardom, but it does make up 1/3 of the plate and could have some butter, salt, anything to make it tastier. Other than that, a very delicious, foundational plate lunch with the teri beef as the rightful star.

{Dodgers Baseball}*
Laulau plate $8
The testament to the quality of this plate is that it was the last one in my evening of gluttony for this column, and I still enjoyed every morsel. I actually saved it for last. The laulau wrap, a decent size by local standards, contained tender meat and soft white fish. Very tasty. There was a whiff of lomi salmon, pineapple, two scoops rice and two pieces of purple potato. Since some say the purple potato extends one's life span, to which the many Okinawan centenarians will attest, the laulau plate is already well worth the price, even before getting into the nearly melt-in-your-mouth morsels of the main course.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Kahana Canoe Club}
Smoke meat plate with rice and corn $8
The Kahana Canoe Club's smoke meat lives up to its name and delivers both the smokiness and meatiness we crave. The flavorful meat has a pleasantly chewy, almost jerkylike texture, with just the right mix of fatty and lean chunks. The plate comes with rice and corn but true pipikaula lovers may prefer to skip the sides and dine straight from the tub.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Maui Veterans Association}
Flying Saucer $3
Yes, that long line snaking into the covered dining area is indicative of how "out of this world" the flying saucer truly is. Make certain you choose the correct line, though ? ordering and paying for your food first ? or you will have wasted several minutes in the pickup line only to be ushered back to the order line, left to stand in a puddle of frustration, and sadly, free of these delectable crispy and savory pockets of meaty delight.

{Lahainaluna High School Lunatech Robotics}*
Korean chicken plate $7; side order $5; Shave ice $2
Korean chicken: After sitting in its styrofoam container for over an hour, it was pleasing to find the chicken still crispy. Two scoops rice and corn accompany the delectable pieces of fried chicken dipped in sweet/spicy Korean sauce. Oh so ono! Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, what more could you ask for? This one was a personal favorite. Go with the full plate, the side order will have you wanting more!

{Special Olympics Maui}
Poke bowl $6; boiled peanuts $4; cappuccino $3; Paradise Tropical Ice, small $4, large $6; smoothie $5
Boiled peanuts: Need something to nosh while cracking up at the shrieks coming from the Zipper? Grab a heaping bag of boiled peanuts and get your fill of a classic treat. Slightly salty and more beanlike than your typical peanut, this snack is great for those who grew up with it or for those new to the idea of a chilled, damp peanut in a shell. Thirsty after all those peanuts? Head back for an Italian ice. Flavor-rich and refreshing, this smooth concoction is like a mix between sorbet and shave ice. Try a free sample, or take the plunge and pick between mango, haupia, li hing mui, strawberry or chocolate.

{Maui Polynesian Tahiti Fete}
Kalbi Ribs $8, $6; luncheon meat $6; li hing pineapple $1; cascaron 5 for $3
If asked how much cascaron would satiate the palate, answering one portion would be a mistake. Deep-fried and delectable? Check. Sweet and savory? Check. This balance of a sprinkling of coconut entwined with mochi and cupped in an almost candy-coated crisp casing, makes for a happy ending to any meal. But, if sharing is on your plate, you may want to order more than just a single helping.

{Lahaina Pop Warner}
Teri burger sandwich $5
Truth be told: I'd never had a teri burger before Thursday. I'd had teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken, but I couldn't really imagine what a teri burger would taste like. I was pleasantly surprised. The burger had just a tinge of teriyaki flavor, definitely not overpowering. No sauce, so no mess. My burger had a terrific smoky, grilled taste. The bun was soft. The veggies ? onions, tomato, lettuce ? were fresh. Teri burgers are good.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Emmanuel Lutheran Church and Schools}
Kiawe Grilled BBQ Chicken Plate $8; mini plate $6
Everything about the chicken was delicious, but the skin was the best part. I wish I could get an entire plate of just the skin. It's kind of crispy, definitely smoky. Really good. Get the chicken. Eat the skin. Then eat the rest ? the flavor goes all the way through the meat. The full plate comes with two thighs, two scoops rice and some kind of leafy vegetable that I was unable to identify. The vegetable was my only complaint. If I were selling this plate, I'd go with corn instead.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
{Disabled Veterans Chapter 2}
Roast pork plate $7, mini plate $5; Portuguese bean soup $10, 32 oz.; $5, 16 oz.; $3, 8 oz.
Portuguese bean soup: Served piping hot, this was a perfect blend of ham hock, beans, macaroni and flavorings. Not too spicy and loaded with meat, the large 32 oz. size is a bargain for $10, well worth the price. After a night of rides, entertainment and events, this is sure to settle any opu, unless you opt to try it with the hot sauce they offer. Whichever way you prefer, definitely a winner!

{Kiwanis Club of Kahului}
Bag of five malasadas $3; coffee $1
Whether you're looking for fair food that's breakfast appropriate or hunting for a midnight snack after a long night in the Joy Zone, it's always the right time for malasadas. Kiwanis' malasadas are modest ? each about the size of a child's fist ? but have a light, tender texture and are served up hot out of the oil with a generous coating of crunchy sugar. Don't forget to shake the bag!

The Maui News staff tasted offerings from every food booth at the 89th Maui Fair. Although all booths were visited and have recaps, not every item offered could be reviewed, due to the availability of time, as well as space - both in our pages and our stomachs. The reviews are based on the fair's opening day, and items are subject to change without notice.

Rising political risks are combining with fading economic performance in key countries to dampen the global business and financial outlook. A sharp increase in tensions on the Korean peninsula has emerged as the greatest geo-political risk: a military conflict between the two Koreas, which inevitably would involve the US, would shred economic and investor confidence in the region and push key parts of the world economy back into recession. Although we expect Korean tensions to stop well short of war, they come at a time of mounting pressures on other fronts. Virtually no progress has been made between Western powers and Iran over its nuclear programme; China and Japan remain at odds over ownership of a small group of islands, and the civil war in Syria continues to pose a spill-over risk within the region. Tensions within the euro zone over bail-outs and fiscal austerity leave the region vulnerable to political miscalculation-Cyprus is the latest example-and the seemingly endless budget showdowns in the US between the two political parties threaten to hold back what otherwise appears to be an improving economic outlook.
These political tensions come at a time when key parts of the global economy are struggling to regain momentum. The Economist Intelligence Unit has argued for some months that the outlook for the global economy would improve in the second half of the year as depressed industries-mainly housing, construction and car production-recovered, financial markets stabilised, consumer confidence improved, central bank liquidity boosted asset prices and global trade accelerated. Many of these things are still in prospect, but expectations of a synchronised upturn now seem much less likely. Among the major developed economies, the US looks by far to be the most promising. Despite some softening in March, the US first quarter seems to have been strong by recent standards. The outlook is also improving, if fitfully, for BRIC stalwarts India and Brazil, and a handful of smaller emerging markets, especially in east Asia, are on an upswing. Yet the outlook elsewhere is, at best, uncertain and in some cases is actually deteriorating.
The euro zone remains the greatest concern. While the risk of a catastrophic break-up has, in the short term, subsided, the after-effects of years of accumulated debt and the onset of brutal austerity has left most economies in the region with no growth momentum. Indeed, we are this month lowering our 2013 GDP outlook to -0.7% from -0.4% previously. Hence, the euro zone in 2013 will be in recession for a second straight year, and this protracted economic malaise will deepen concerns about public support for the single currency over the medium term. We are also cutting our forecast for China, where the economy grew by a slower than expected 7.7% in the first quarter, and for Russia, where consumer confidence, retail sales and business investment are all lagging.

Introducing FOBU: The Fear of Breaking Up
We love to hate those catchy acronyms that encourage us to grab life by the horns—you know, phrases like YOLO (you only live once) and FOMO (fear of missing out). And now there are four new letters in town, and they essentially stand for the opposite of going at life with a gutsy approach. Our partners at How About We are untangling a misery-inducing condition called FOBU, or fear of breaking up. How they define it:
"You've been dating for at least a year. You may live together at this point. You've spent at least one holiday with each others' families and have attended weddings and other life milestones as a couple. But deep down, you know that this relationship isn't fulfilling your needs (or your partner's, for that matter). Still, you find yourself trapped—be it by inertia, apathy, a sense of duty, financial concerns, or crippling fear. And so you do nothing and say nothing. The relationship remains status quo."
Sound familiar? You might be guilty of FOBU. (To be sure, read 10 Sings You Have FOBU). While you'd expect expert advice to tell you to work through a rough patch in your relationship, the cure for this condition is a lot like ripping off a Band-Aid. In short, fixing FOBU means manning up—and breaking up.
Click on over to How About We to read about real-life accounts of FOBU and to learn what your nose has to do with finding a new mate.

Skip to comments.Iraqi Currency and Bomb Discovered In Stolen Car - New Mexico
Posted on 03/26/2008 7:38:43 PM PDT by Sammy67
March 26, 2008 The FBI is now involved in the theft of a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside.FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.
The car was reported stolen last week. After the theft, the cars owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car.
While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also, said Los Lunas Police Captain Charles Nuanes.
The cars owner pulled the keys out of the ignition of his stolen car and the people in the car fled.
When police arrived, they found the explosive device and
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalterroralert.com ...
Yes, I am sure whoever it was had a legitimate reason for this.
You've GOT to be kidding me - is this Scrappleface?
I'm sure it was a bunch of Swedish currency traders taking a friend to his job in a hard rock mine where he was going to use the bomb for blasting. What other explanation could there be?
Do you BELIEVE this?!?
Lo, and behold?
Good. Because silly people might worry er sumpin'.
They always IMMEDIATELY rule out terrorism....
oh boy
This seems to be an actual news story. So they ruled out terrorism, huh? lol
The FBI is apparently going to challenge the CIA for the worst dumba$$e$ in the Govt.
...and the FBI rules out terrorism. Go figure.
You know it's just some good old boys who accidently took the car for a joyride and decided to make their own fireworks for fun. Iraqi currency was just some money those boys mistakenly got as change when they bought beer and cigarettes.
"We don't have any facts at all but we can state with absolute certainty that there is no connection to terrorists or terrorism."
"Im sure it was a bunch of Swedish currency traders taking a friend to his job in a hard rock mine where he was going to use the bomb for blasting. What other explanation could there be?"
I'm as baffled about this one as you are, but something is stinking to high heaven. An Iraqi terrorist scam by anti-war activists?...or is it from pro-war activists?
"he FBI is now involved in the theft of a car"
Why is the FBI stealing cars?
Yes grammar does matter; who wrote this story?
I can't stand jerks. Especially knee-jerks.
Thanks for posting, Sammy67. It was also on the TM (Threat Matrix) thread post #1120 by Oorang.
That is always their first statement. "No connection to terrorists".
More importantly, who edited it? There was a time when editors were the grammar police, but these days spellcheck should be listed as the editor of most papers.
Thanks for the ping.
Lol, just proves life is stranger than fiction - to have your stolen car come pulling up to you!
Sounds like a pretty stupid "possible terrorist" if they would bring Iraqi money into the US.
It's important to rule out terrorism before you start the investigation. Very reassuring.
You can buy new (after 2003) and old Iraqi currency on Ebay.
The troops all bring home a couple of notes.
The FBI couldn't follow a menstruating elephant in a snow bank.
Not until they can produce their own cartoons a la TWA800! OTOH, the CIA has to do some serious fusters to catch up to the batfags.
We all want to take every opportunity to impress you peons with our DE-ductive skills, we're gonna deny the obvious and tell you to your face that it was a combination of swamp gas and the planet Venus conspiring to create a unique optical and logical illusion.
Maybe the Iraqi currency was supposed to be the 'statement' as it blew all over wherever the bimb was to detonate.
I think 'not related to terrorism' means 'don't report this under pain of X'.
Add this to the request by the FBI for information from anyone who has information about parachutes from the 1970's. That was for DB Cooper. What, the FBI clowns can't locate a contact? What, the FBI doesn't know terrorism when it smacks them in the arse.
Of course if the car had an NRA sticker and Idaho plates, well THAT would be different. They'd mobilize every jackbooted thug in a SWAT costume for miles around.
Nothing baffling here. The FBI is given to lying. End of story.
< better ending.
Get a load of this!
Journalists no longer need to be wordsmiths. A sincere desire to "make a difference" is all that is necessary.
Anyone can make a difference. It takes a some smarts to make a difference for the better. That's where the urinalists fail.
Yes, and I'm not surprised.
We noted it today on The Threat Matrix.
Thanks for the ping STARWISE.
The newspapers have laid off all the editors. At least the senior ones who knew the language, and gave a s***.
Weird stuff!
Now they are finding aked passsports that seem to pass security checks I believe
Sounds like a stupid teenager to me.
People are vying for attention all the time.
Yeah, when I was a teenager I had stacks of foreign currencies...not to mention bombs that I would make, just to leave them laying around in stolen vehicles...just for the attention and kick I got...
Judging by the rest of your post......Crips, Bloods... etc. I doubt this response is even worth posting, other than for my own entertainment...at your expense, of course.
Oh come on! You mean to tell me you have never driven around your home town with a carload of Middle Eastern Currency and a bomb?

What can we expect in the second round of the U.S. Open? Another difficult day of scoring, for one. But here's another key stat: In the last 15 years, nine first-round leaders have maintained at least a share of the lead after the second round. That's very good news for Michael Thompson, who leads by three as the second round gets under way at The Olympic Club.
Speaking of Thompson, this is just his 45th career start in what's only his second full year on the PGA TOUR — after graduating from Alabama in 2008, he bounced around the mini tours and was the NGA Hooters Tour Rookie of the Year in 2010.
Only twice has Thompson had led on the TOUR — after the second round of the 2011 RBC Canadian Open and the third round of The McGladrey Classic. He went on to finish 34th and third, respectively.
Here are some other key numbers from the opening round:
· Phil Mickelson struggled to a 76 after a lost-ball bogey on his opening hole. Since 2003, Mickelson has made 14 bogeys on his first hole of a major championship in the first round. Only two other players have made 14 or more bogeys on their first hole of major championship since 2003: Michael Campbell (15) and Adam Scott (15).
· Mickelson's 76, which included seven bogeys, tied his worst first round at the U.S. Open (he also shot 76 in 1996 at Oakland Hills). The seven bogeys are the most number of holes over par in the first round of the U.S. Open he's ever had during his career as a professional.
· Tiger Woods, meanwhile, opened with a 1-under 69 and in the process made consecutive birdies on the fourth and fifth holes. That marked the sixth time in his career at the U.S. Open that Woods has made back-to-back birdies in the first round. He also did it in 1998 (finished tied for 18th), 1999 (tied for third), 2000 (won), 2002 (won) and 2008 (won).
· Nick Watney made an albatross on the par-5 17th to join Louis Oosthuizen, who made one in the final round of this year's Masters, Vaughn Taylor, who had one at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, and Joseph Bramlett, who made his at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. By comparison, there were only albatrosses all of last year on TOUR. And only once in the last 10 years were there four of them through June: In 2007 there were five.

Engineers hired by the city of Amarillo will figure the cost and the most logical route for a 7.5-mile pipeline that will get more drinking water to the citys growing southwest quadrant.
The Amarillo City Commission today unanimously approved an $86,980 contract for HDR Engineering Inc. of Dallas to identify possible routes for a 36-inch pipeline from the Osage Potable Water Treatment Plant on South Osage Street to the Arden Road Water Pump Station near the intersection of Arden Road and Bell Street.
This is the last key piece to get water to that growing side of town, City Manager Alan Taylor said.
The city intends to apply for low-interest loan funding for the project from the Texas Water Development Board, and the preliminary study will be required with the application, Taylor said.
The city has received low-interest and even zero percent financing from the TWDB in recent months for several multimillion-dollar water projects, money made available through the states Water Infrastructure Fund and through federal stimulus programs.

This Transformers Season One DVD set allows you to go back to where it all began. It is the 25th anniversary edition, which means both the animation and sound quality have been cleaned up. There are even old PSAs and commercials included on the disks. For any child of the '80s, this is a guaranteed reminder of the days when we still played outside and thought semi-trucks were the height of coolness.
Transformers Season One Rolls out Red Carpet for Nostalgia
Does anyone else remember the intro as being a little more rockin'? Maybe the cleaned up audio version on the Transformers Season One set has more of the kick I remember. Rocking or not, it still takes me back. All the way back to before Megan Fox was a thing, before we started rifling through '80s pop culture for remake material (Karate Kid remake, I am talking to you here, you disgusting beast), and before even the Dinobots.
These were simpler times. In our idealized hindsight, these were happier times, as well. The fun of nostalgia is getting to remember parts of your life the way they should have gone, not necessarily the way they went. For most fans past the age of 14, this DVD set is far more deserving of your money than the soon-to-open film. Instead of trying to recreate the magic, go back to where it began with Transformers Season One.
Pick up your own Transformers Season One DVD set here!

FLINT, Michigan — Patricia Ball is the new race director for the Crim Festival of Races.
Ball comes to the Crim from the Detroit Free Press Marathon, where she also served as race director, said Crim spokesman Michael Dach. According to RunningMichigan.com, Ball became the Free Press Marathon race director in 2001.
Dach said Ball has also done consulting work with other races around the United States. He said Ball will begin her duties with the Crim after the New Year.
Ball replaces Deb Kiertzner, who resigned last month after serving as the Crim's race director since 2005. Under Kiertzner's guidance, the Crim attracted a record 16,226 participants this year. That included 10,371 in the signature 10-mile race.
Ball is the sixth race director in Crim history. All have been women.

Well, I really thought that I would at least qualify as one of the finalist in the Final Fantasy XIII blogger contest. I really gave it all I got, as much effort as I could basically fit into it without overwriting. In fact, maybe It was that, that got me, I must have overwrote. I think most of the finalist deserve it, about 90% of them. I am not trying to sound like a bad sport, but there were at most two people there that I know didn't put in as much effort as I did. If you know your blog was deserving, I am not talking about you for sure (don't worry I know all the good finalist blogs, because you're in my friend's list unless I missed someone). I am really sorry if I am sounding like a sore loser, but I just feel robbed, especially with how much effort I put into my blog, well, all my blogs, with the exception of my random blogs and my very first contest blog, the tekken one, which I thought I had learned a lesson from when I was qualified as a finalist with it and loss, which was to put every ounce of effort you got, to win at all cost in any 1up blogger contest. I would appreciate it if you don't think of me as a sore loser who is just crying right now because he loss, but I really just feel robbed of all the effort I put into that one blog especially, so please understand me. If you're one of the people who I think doesn't deserve to be a finalist, I am not being personal, it's just I put more effort than you, and most likely, I have been on 1UP way longer than you.
Call me a sore loser, or a cry baby, but I know I worked my butt off on my blog, and some of you might see this, some might not, but I know for sure, like 100% sure of this, because I did do it myself.

Jonathan S. Berg, MD, PhD
Associate Professor
Research Interests
Key words: Medical Genetics, Clinical Cancer Genetics, Personalized Medicine
I recently joined the Cancer Genetics Clinic at UNC after completing the four year residency program in Clinical Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. This unique four-year program was aimed at providing training broadly across all facets of Clinical Genetics and I thus have equal experience in both Pediatric and Adult genetics. In the Cancer Genetics Clinic I will be primarily involved in the evaluation of individuals with a strong family history of cancer. The goal is to identify the primary genetic etiology for their cancer susceptibility and provide additional information that will help guide the management of the disease.
My current research interests involve the clinical translation of modern genetic diagnostic technologies to improve patient care. Cancer is an ideal model system for this goal, since cancer is quite prevalent as a whole and there are clearly genetic underpinnings to most types of cancer (despite the rarity of true familial cancer syndromes). At UNC, I will be assuming the position of Principal Investigator for the Carolina-Georgia Center of the Cancer Genetics Network funded by the National Cancer Institute, a multicenter study aimed at developing a registry of cancer patients and their family members in order to facilitate scientific investigations. I am also interested in extending my earlier interest in copy number variation to examine whether rare and/or common structural variants might play a role in predisposition to cancer.
In addition to cancer-related interests, I hope to pursue additional lines of clinical/translational investigation into the use of diagnostic and predictive testing in adult medicine subspecialties, with the primary goal of determining the clinical utility and cost-benefit ratio of predictive genetic testing in order to ensure that this technology is used in an evidence-based fashion.

Warburg, Wind and Negelein1 suggested that tumor cells should be particularly sensitive to lack of nutrition because of their high metabolic rate. This conception seems to be borne out by the fact that Jensen's sarcoma undergoes extensive necrosis in rats which are exposed to 5 per cent oxygen for forty hours.1 Okamoto2 and Warburg. Wind and Negelein1 have shown that tumor cells remain viable after prolonged exposure to environments lacking either dextrose or oxygen. In a medium lacking both dextrose and oxygen, however, tumor cells die very rapidly; so it was found impossible to transplant the Jensen sarcoma after only four hours in such a medium. Furthermore, when a tumor-bearing animal was killed and kept at 37 C. for four hours after death, slices of tumor tissue placed in a medium containing dextrose and oxygen no longer metabolized, indicating irreversible destruction of the tumor cells.1

Hello again race fans. Welcome to the 2009 racing season. I'm getting a late start on this column after being under the weather the last few weeks. There are some items of interest so let's get started.
Tonight at Port Royal Speedway 20 lucky fans will win a free Easter ham. The night's racing program is full as there are two sprint car features plus late models, pro stocks and enduro cars. Racing gets under way at 7 p.m. Last week's program was rained out halfway through the 305 sprint car feature which was won by Todd Spangler.
As for the start of the season, at Port Royal it has been good. An outstanding crowd was on hand for the March 15 sprint car program. Bug Day was also good with 83 cars pit side.
Last week, the weather could have bit the Juniata County oval in the check book, but Mother Nature eliminated that problem. All things considered, it has been a good start despite the economy, which brings me to another point.
I was fortunate enough to be at the Dirt Track Nationals in Florida for the third straight year. Racers and fans continue to support those shows and the programs were quite successful. After sticking around and watching Bike Week underperform for the second year in a row, I conclude what many already know. Racers are the most loyal fans of any sport and do what they have to to keep going. We are blessed in auto racing and dirt racing in particular.
Tonight the Selinsgrove Speedway presents a four-division show of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks and roadrunner cars with action getting underway at 6 p.m. Selinsgrove officials have allowed rules changes to sprint car engines, which have made the cars faster. New track records have already been set this season at the Snyder County oval, including Scott Flammer, who shattered the 25-lap record last week.
The Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway opens April 17 with a regular show. One week later the Lucas Oil Late Model Series comes to town. Bedford promoter J.R. Keiffer is stepping up his program for 2009. Additional billboard space is being built in turns one and two.
The track looks great and Keiffer has ordered a mixer board for his sound system which will allow announcers to play background music between races much like the World of Outlaws do at their races as well as baseball stadiums.
The Hesston Speedway has a new promoter - Rick Jones who also operates the Rock at the Cumberland, Md. Fairgrounds. Current plans call for only seven shows which will be headlined by 358 late models. Hesston will race on Friday nights.
Late model racer Jack Pencil had a disaster at his shop recently. A fire broke out as team members were transferring fuel but Pencil was not present when the mishap occurred. His dad had some scary moments escaping from the shop and both of his hands were burned along with the side of his face.
The team lost one racecar and their toter, hauler and shop in the accident. Firemen did a great job saving one car and two engines by keeping water under the car on which the ceiling fell.
The body and all rubber and plastic was destroyed but the car is rebuilt and ready to race. It's going to take awhile to get things settled with the insurance company, but it's my understanding that the destroyed race car will not be covered by insurance. Pencil is currently working out of J.R. Keiffer's shop until things get straightened out.
I spoke with Daryl Stimeling at Port Royal last week and he indicates the Bolger Racing No. 18 car should be ready to race tonight. Stimeling and the Lewistown-based team won a feature at Port Royal in 2007.
Also look for Tim Wilson of McClure to be ready to race either this weekend or next. Wilson just recently got his engines back from the motor builder who freshened them up. Wilson has been busy building a new trailer over the winter, which is nice.
Mike Erdley's Lisi Race team purchased a new rig during the off season. It's also really nice. Erdley ventured to Volusia Co. Speedway in Florida for his first trip to the Dirt Track Nationals. It was a learning experience for his team.
Word reaches me that another historic speedway has bit the dust. I'm referring to Manzanita Speedway near Phoenix. A number of central Pa. stars have raced there in the fall after local racing was finished going back to the 1970s and 1980s.
The most notable was the late Jan Opperman, and if my memory serves me correct, Bobby Adamson. The track is being developed for industrial use.
The Latimore Valley Fairgrounds and Williams Grove Old Timers open their museum today. Jim Nace and Ed Zirkle host a round table discussion starting at 1 p.m. Call 528-8279 for information.
Tonight at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway, it's a four-division regular show featuring late models. Action starts at 7 p.m. The Lincoln Speedway hosts sprint cars, 358 late models and super sportsman. Racing gets under way at 6 p.m..
The NASCAR Sprint Cup cars race at Texas tomorrow starting at 1:30 p.m. Fox has TV coverage.
Keep your eyes on Stevie Smith and the Zemco race team this season. Smith looks good in this car and is fast. Smith won a race in Florida and is the current All-Star points leader. I don't think Smith will race full time anywhere, but his team will be a threat to win anywhere they go.
A couple of race folks have been under the weather. Bill Ritzman has been active at Port Royal with the fair and racetrack, but has had heart problems. He is now home and recovering.
Also, Bob Heckert of Port Royal has been in the hospital and is now home. Heckert and his wife are active in Port Royal Speedway and fair activities. Best wishes to both for a speedy recovery.
"Cowboy" Jim Kennedy entertained the Port Royal Speedway office with his famous yodel last Saturday night. The 73-year-old driver is from Everett and lists just himself and one other person as crew members. Kennedy won a 305 feature last year at Port Royal.
That's going to do it for this week. I'll be back next week with more news. Until then please drive safely!

Over the space of just two months, Weld County winter wheat farmers have shifted from near panic to optimism, thanks to much-needed rain and snow in recent weeks, along with a slight price boost from an increase of the crop being used as livestock feed.
By this time of year, farmers across the country have planted winter wheat and need precipitation to get the crop started and established before it goes into its winter dormancy. However, much of the nation's "bread basket" is still experiencing drought.
That's not the case for Weld County, which has received above-average precipitation since mid September — quenching the thirst of the approximately 130,000 winter wheat acres in the county.
Also helping bring peace to local farmers' minds is that wheat prices remain high, mainly because of the supply shortage caused by this year's widespread drought. Helping prices is the fact that livestock feeders are increasingly using the crop as a feed source, since the dry spell has limited the nation's corn supply.
According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released this week, it's projected that the nation's wheat feed and residual usage will reach 315 million bushels this year — far surpassing the 150 million-bushel average for the past 10 years. Although the USDA does not survey wheat for feed directly, most of that feed and residual is expected to be feed usage.
"That's certainly been helping hold prices up," Colorado State University professor and economist Stephen Koontz said. He added that — even though there's a huge increase in wheat being used for feed — most of the
nation's crop still goes toward food production and exports, and traditional supply-and-demand factors still have the biggest impacts on wheat prices.
According to the USDA, wheat prices stood at $8.39 in Greeley on Thursday, while prices were below $7 around this time last year.
Just a couple of months ago, Weld County's winter wheat farmers were plenty nervous.
Planting for the crop typically begins around Sept. 1, but the Greeley area at that time was coming off its driest August on record, and through the end of that month, 2012 as a whole stood as the area's driest year. As a result, soil-moisture content locally and for much of the region's farmground was in "very short" supply, according to USDA reports at the time.
While the ground was bone dry, farmers still needed to finish planting their crop by mid October to meet insurance requirements.
Then came the rain and snow, and with it, relief.
Since Sept. 11, the Greeley area has received 3.18 inches of precipitation — far exceeding the 2.13 inches the area sees on average between Sept. 12 and Nov. 14.
It's a different story elsewhere.
Parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota — other top-10 producing winter wheat states — are still experiencing "extreme" or "exceptional" drought, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor, released Tuesday by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Parts of southern Colorado, too, are still experiencing "exceptional" drought.
Because it had been so dry for so long, northern Colorado is still experiencing drought, but to a lesser extent than those areas. The rain in recent weeks has apparently been enough to do the trick for the area's winter wheat.
"We've been pretty lucky," said Rich Huwa, a Keenesburg-area wheat farmer. "Our crop is looking really good ... but I know the same can't be said everywhere."
Colorado State University Extension crop specialist Bruce Bosley, New-Raymer area farmer Curt Wirth and Deb Shipps, who farms and operates grain elevators in the Nunn and Pierce areas, all agreed that winter wheat across Weld County and northeast Colorado is looking good.
"But we certainly need more precipitation as we go along," Wirth, said, alluding to last growing season, when a pair of storms pumped 20-plus inches of snow on the Greeley area in the fall and helped winter wheat get off to a good start, but then the drought came.
Timely rains in the spring and summer helped some of the area's farmers recover from the dry spell, while others, like farmers near Nunn and Pierce areas, endured hail storms. Yields ranged widely in Weld County — as low as five bushels per acre, and exceeding 50 bushels per acre in other parts of the county.
"Hopefully we keep seeing what we're seeing now," Wirth said.

Signature Event
Justin Shandor & Memphis Bound
The Ultimate ELVIS Concert
Saturday, October 1 – 7:30 p.m.
Collins Center for Performing Arts, Andover MA
Since the passing of the King more than 36 years ago, there has never been a tribute artist that has so captivated the look, moves, and especially the sound of the King more than Justin Shandor.
According to the Jordinares, (Elvis's original background singers, which Shandor has performed with on several occasions), he has the raw talent that shot Elvis to the top. His likeness to the King is so close that at one time Graceland emailed a casino where Shandor was performing and told them they could not use a real picture of Elvis to advertise their event. It was a picture of Shandor!
In August 2010, Elvis Presley Enterprises held a contest in Memphis and invited the top Elvis tribute artists from around the world. Shandor came in first place and Graceland named him the "World's Ultimate Elvis!" He is the only Elvis Tribute artist to make the front page of USA TODAY, and was recently featured in an issue of French Vogue magazine.
In 2013, he appeared on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman in front of an estimated 3.5 million viewers, Letterman ran over to Shandor and yelled, "Justin, wonderful, wonderful, do it again, do it again!" Shandor has also performed as Elvis in the Tony Award-Winning musical "Million Dollar Quartet", playing at Harrah's Las Vegas.
Tickets are $50 for reserved seating.

Step 1) Going Green - Five Steps to Get You There
Step 2) Implement a Green Procurement Policy
Step 3) Investigate Ways to Increase Energy Efficiency
Step 4) Conserve Water
Step 5) Implement Sustainable Design Principles
• Plan, design, and lay out spaces with flexibility in mind. The ability to adapt areas to meet unforeseen future needs will limit demolition, renovation, and, moreover, disposal of building materials in area landfills.
• Landscape facility grounds with native plants and vegetation and during new construction projects, limit disruption to the site's native plant and animal species.
• When possible, avoid developing new facilities on greenfield sites. Effectively locate on brownfield sites and in existing buildings when possible.
• Take advantage of passive solar heating, daylighting, and natural ventilation and water systems by orienting buildings on an east-west axis. Likewise, consider area wind patterns.
• Utilize daylighting when possible. Coupled with exterior and interior shading devices, high-performance glazing, and photosensors, natural light can save energy, money, and positively impact building occupants.
• Purchase furniture and interior finishes that have "classic" design elements. Durable products with timeless design will keep facilities from looking dated, limit replacement costs, and cut down on waste.
• Implement a plan to control erosion and sedimentation during construction.
• Locate a building near public transportation to minimize pollution from automobile use.

Let your facility become a green machine with people and systems perfectly calibrated to understand the benefits of thinking environmentally and operating accordingly. Once you get started – hopefully, these five steps will help – don't stop. Training, evaluation, and constant vigilance will prove to be very beneficial – to the facility, its occupants, the bottom line, and, most importantly, the environment we leave for future generations.

Optimize High-Current Sensing Accuracy by Improving Pad Layout of Low-Value Shunt Resistors
Figure 1. Sense resistor layout test PCB.
Current-Sense Resistor
Figure 2. (a) ULRG3-2512-0M50-FLFSLT resistor dimensions; (b) Standard 4-pad footprint.
Traditional Footprint
To avoid the additional resistance, voltage sensing traces need to be routed right to the sense resistor pad. The system current will still cause a significant voltage drop across the upper solder joints, but the sense currents will cause a negligible voltage drop across the lower solder joints. This split pad approach thus removes the solder joint resistance from the measurement and improves the total system accuracy.
Figure 3. Kelvin sensing.
Optimizing the Kelvin Footprint
Test PCB
Figure 4. Test PCB layout.
Solder was applied using a stencil and reflowed in a reflow oven. The ULRG3-2512-0M50-FLFSLT resistor was used.
Test Procedure

Test Results
Table 1. Measured Voltages and Errors
*Without Kelvin sensing. Voltage was measured across the main high-current pad to demonstrate the error associated with the solder resistance.
Figure 6. Optimum footprint dimensions.
The routing of the sense trace also had an impact on the measurement accuracy. To achieve the highest accuracy, the sense voltage should be measured at the edge of the resistor. Figure 7 shows a recommended layout using vias to route the outer edge of the pad to another layer, thus avoiding cutting the main power plane.

Baton Rouge voters will decide on Nov. 16 whether to approve more than $13 million in bonds to improve facilities at Central High. The election ballot also features property tax proposals for two special neighborhood crime districts in Sherwood Forest and Park Forest subdivisions.
Voters living in the Central Community School System will decide on whether to approve the issuance of $13.1 million in bonds. The bonds would be paid by general obligation property taxes already being collecting in the area.
If approved, the bonds would provide up-front cash to the school system so it can undertake specific projects at Central High and Central Middle School, while also providing technology improvements district-wide.
At Central High School, the bonds would provide for general facility improvements and would also fund the construction of a new Ninth Grade Academy Building. At the old middle school campus, the cash would help pay for asbestos abatement and parking upgrades.
Also on Nov. 16, voters in two Baton Rouge subdivisions will decide whether to break off into special district and assess resident property owners a $75 fee to provide for quality of life improvements in their areas.
If approved, one proposal would create the Park Forest Crime Prevention and Improvement District. The $75 parcel fee, applied annually to homeowners' property taxes, would pay for increased patrols by local law enforcement and contracted security personnel and would also create a "crime free housing program" inside the district.
The second proposal would create the Sherwood Forest Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Improvement District. The $75 parcel fee would go to beautification, security and overall betterment in the new district.
All three proposals will be found on the Nov. 16 election ballot. Only residents living within the systems and subdivisions will be able to vote on the proposals that impact their area.

NFL Draft Story Central
NFL Draft: Offensive Tackle Rankings, Part One
16) Reid Fragel (6-7/308)
Ohio State
Amazingly, Fragel played tight end in Columbus his first three seasons before moving to right tackle. It was an easy transition for Fragel because he was more or less a blocking tight end. He added 30 pounds and is still learning the craft of a right tackle. Fragel is a kid with a lot of natural ability, great feet, long arms and plenty of upside. He needs to find an NFL club where he can take time to develop and work on his technique.
17) Vinston Painter (6-4/306)
Virginia Tech
Painter came to Blacksburg and spent time at the tackle position on both sides of the ball before settling in on offense. He doesn't have ideal height for OT but has good arm length, strength and very good feet. In terms of run blocking he's solid just needs to continue to work on his hands and technique. Shows versatility as he also played guard for the Hokies.
18) Emmett Cleary (6-6.5/316)
Boston College
This is a big framed tackle with long arms. He shows good feet and balance when pass protecting. He's also a solid run blocker. Cleary, like a few others in this draft, must get stronger to contend with the NFL defensive linemen. He has a chance to be a steal for someone late in the draft.
19) Rogers Gaines (6-6/334)
Tennessee State
Gaines is a massive prospect with a very long arm length of 36 1/4". That combination makes him a huge OT. Solid blocker in both run and pass game but needs to play with better pad level and leverage, which is sometime harder to do with a player of his size.
20) Tanner Hawkinson (6-5/298)
Hawkinson, like Eric Fisher, came out of high school as a tight end before converting to defensive end then to offensive tackle. This is a four-year starter with a lot of experience. He's a solid player when it comes to run blocking but at times in pass pro can be overpowered by stronger defensive linemen. He definitely needs to work on his overall strength.
21) Dann O'Neill (6-7/317)
Western Michigan
O'Neill is another massive OT with very long arms (close to 36"). He projects as a likely right tackle. He has good strength and decent but not great feet. At this stage a better run blocker than pass protector. O'Neill plays hard and could be a nice late round find.
22) Braden Brown (6-6/310)
Brown looks like your prototypical offensive tackle. He's 6-foot-6 with a long reach (34"). Brown has very good feet and can sink his hips and bend. He comes off the ball pretty well and looks equally adept in the run game and in pass protection. Brown can be overpowered and need to work on strength.
23) Luke Marquardt (6-8/315)
Azusa Pacific
This is a very big and athletic offensive tackle prospect that sustained a broken foot this past season. He possesses good feet, balance and has those long arms you covet in pass pro. Sometime being 6-foot-8 can be a hindrance, as he can lose the leverage battle, especially in the run game. He could be the first player taken from his school in the NFL Draft since Christian Okoye.
24) Mark Jackson (6-5/328)
Glenville State College
Jackson is a three-year starter and former captain. Don't let being from a small school scare you away. He could be a good late round find for some NFL club. At this point Jackson is a better run blocker than pass protector. He has upside but still a ways to go developmental wise.
25) Manase Foketi (6-5/333)
West Texas A&M
Foketi spent his initial college days at a junior college and then missed the 2011 season with an Achilles injury. Left K-State and went to West Texas A&M this past season. This is a strong player, especially in the run game. Foketi has good athleticism for a big man. He could be a steal for someone.
26) Jason Weaver (6-5/313)
Southern Miss
Weaver can move very well for a guy with his size and frame. He projects as a right tackle or guard in the NFL. He started his last 24 games for the Eagles. He played two seasons at Arizona Western. This is an OL that's pretty light on his feet and solid in the run game and in pass pro.
27) John Wetzel (6-7/315)
Boston College
Wetzel is a pure power player at the tackle position that will have to play right tackle or move inside to guard. He's got size and is physical and very strong. Wetzel needs to work on footwork and agility in his pass sets, as he struggles against players with athleticism and quickness. Wetzel is much better in the run game than in pass pro.
28) Nick Becton (6-5/323)
Virginia Tech
Becton is a developmental prospect not a plug and play guy at this time. He only has about a season's worth of starts. He has ideal size, long arms and pretty good feet. Becton needs to learn to play with more consistency.
29) Jamal Johnson-Webb (6-5/313)
Alabama A&M
Johnson-Webb has ideal size for the tackle position and more suited for the right side. He was a four-year starter at Alabama A&M, which says something about his abilities. He has quickness and pretty good feet. He just needs to work on his strength to compete against the NFL defensive linemen.
30) LaAdrian Waddle (6-6/321)
Texas Tech
Waddle is an enormous OT with an arm length of 36 inches. He has the frame and decent footwork. At this point looks like a late round guy or perhaps a free agent player post-draft.
NFL Draft: Offensive Tackle Rankings, Part One
NFL Draft Story Central
FULL DATABASE OVERALL RANKINGS WILL BE UPDATED from 1-300 on April 24. The current top 300 doesn't parallel the new positional rankings for the 2013 NFL Draft.

My client, be it buyer, seller, or another party to the sale, owns the report. The client has the option to release the report to anyone else that they may choose.
My only request on the use of my report is that I ask that the report not be reproduced in it's entirety for distribution to prospective buyers, or for publication in its entirety to a website for promotion of a sale.
It is a violation of most of the published ethics standards that Home Inspectors are required to follow to present anyone other than the client with a copy of the Inspection Report without prior consent of the client. Most clients do agree to share the report with their own agent, and many don't mind to share the report with the seller and their agent. I always ask the client before I start an inspection, and my Inspection Agreement has a space to check off to grant or deny sharing of the report.
I provide one copy of the printed report to the client on site and a copy on CD with all the photos taken of the property. If the client has agreed to share the report with anyone else I provide info on how to access the report on my website.
I understand that there is a convention in the standard PA agreement of Sale or Real Estate law that allows for the seller to receive a copy of the inspection report from the buyer, if it is requested (I think this means the full report, but I have never had to find out).
I always ask the client (buyer) if I can forward it to their agent or anyone else for them - they can then let me know who they wish to have access to the report. Makes life easier for all.
It is alwayse interesting to see how business differs from region to region. I would hope that the inspector would respect the wishes of the individual that is paying him/her.
The person who pays for the inspection, whether buyer or seller, owns the home inspection report. However, either side will need to provide the other side with the report.
As a seller, they are required to give known disclosures (inspection reports are considered as one of those) to the buyers.
So, even if a previous buyer ordered inspection, received the inspection report and decided not to buy the property; as long as the seller has the report, they are required to give the report (even if it's from the previous buyer) to the current buyer to review.
We always advise the sellers before they order an inspection that the report will be shared with the buyers. Sometimes the sellers don't want to do inspection for fear of it might reveal a big problem but then we advise them it's better to find out now than later.
It's the customary thing to do, so they understand.
Sylvia . .
If there was not an objection or something that was objected to that is obvious I see no reason why a seller or listing agent would have any right to have access to this information.
If the seller is so concerned perhaps they may want to get the home inspected and provide a warrantee with the home. Kill two birds with one stone...

A Novel Approach to Visualizing and Navigating Ontologies
KC-Viz is a novel tool for visualizing and navigating ontologies, which exploits an innovative ontology summarization method to support a 'middle-out ontology browsing' approach, where it becomes possible to navigate ontologies starting from the most information-rich nodes ("key concepts"). Thus, KC-Viz allows users to quickly make sense of very large ontologies, by providing summarized views of ontologies at different levels of abstraction, depending on the current focus of the user. KC-Viz makes use of the award-winning KCE algorithm for ontology summarization - http://kmi.open.ac.uk/technologies/name/kce, which combines theories from the cognitive sciences with formal methods from linguistics and ontology engineering to identify the key concepts in an ontology. KC-Viz is fully implemented and is available as a plugin of the NeOn Toolkit (http://neon-toolkit.org/wiki/KC-Viz).

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Menssana Research reports that they have developed a breath test to detect lung cancer at an early stage. "We developed a breathalyzer that is one billion times more sensitive than those the police use to measure alcohol in the breath," states Michael Phillips, M.D., CEO.
"It detects around 200 different chemicals in a person's breath, and some of these chemicals are markers of cancer. A breath test has great advantages over most other medical tests. It is completely safe, painless, and noninvasive. All you have to do is breathe gently into a tube for two minutes. There are no potentially dangerous x-rays to worry about, and it will certainly be a lot less expensive than chest imaging."
The NIH funded this study, which will be published in Cancer Biomarkers. The researchers studied 404 smokers and ex-smokers aged over 60. The breath test predicted lung cancer with almost the same accuracy as computerized tomography or chest CT, according to the scientists.
Menssana says it is also developing breath tests to detect other diseases in their early stages, including pulmonary tuberculosis, breast cancer, and ischemic heart disease. The FDA already approved the Heartsbreath test for heart transplant rejection.
Dr. Phillips said he hopes that physicians and patients will eventually consider a breath test the way we think of a chest x-ray or blood test: as an inexpensive and convenient screening test that can detect several diseases in their earliest and most treatable stages.
