SPARTA -- A Hudsonville woman who was flown via AeroMed from the scene of a two-car crash on Fruit Ridge Avenue Friday night is now in fair condition, a Spectrum Health official confirmed Saturday.
Kent County Sheriff's deputies said Cynthia Vermerris was in the driver's seat of a Hyundai Santa Fe traveling north on Fruit Ridge when the vehicle was struck around 6:15 p.m. by a southbound pickup driven by Maxx Buys,17.
Vermerris was flown via Aero Med to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital after emergency workers freed her from her vehicle.
Kevin Vermerris, who was in the passenger's seat, and two children in the backseat escaped from the vehicle and were transported to Spectrum Health by ambulance with injuries that were not life-threatening. The driver of the pickup also was treated for minor injuries.
Sheriff's deputies said alcohol was not a factor in the crash and melted snow that had frozen on the road likely caused Buys to lose control of his vehicle.

There's nothing worse than creating a huge sense of alarm and panic over something that doesn't warrant it. So I'm by no means suggesting that if you have a mole that it's in any way cancerous or will necessarily become cancerous in the future (click the following link to learn more about abnormal changes in moles www.mole-wart-removal-guide.com/types-of-moles).
In fact, most types of moles aren't dangerous at all, and of the types that do pose a health risk, only a small percentage of them are melanoma, which is the most serious form of skin cancer.
Having said all that, here's a few warning signs that you should know about. If a mole changes any of its physical characteristics, e.g. size, shape color, then it's a cause of concern. You should also pay attention if a mole suddenly becomes irritated, e.g. if it begins to bleed or starts to itch.
Finally, many health clinics offer various types of cancer screenings and it's a good idea to have your moles checked out every so often. And again, if you notice any of the aforementioned warning signs, then you should see your doctor right away.

To examine the effectiveness of a telephone-based counseling program rooted in motivational interviewing to improve medication adherence for osteoporosis, Solomon et al conducted a 1-year randomized controlled clinical trial in which all participants had been newly prescribed a medication for osteoporosis. Persons were randomized to either a program of telephone-based counseling using a motivational interviewing framework or a control group that received mailed educational materials. In an intention-to-treat analysis, median adherence was 49% in the intervention arm and 41% in the control arm (P = .07). There were no differences in self-reported fractures.
See Article
This study aimed to determine the independent relationship of sitting time to all-cause mortality. Prospective questionnaire data from 222 497 individuals 45 years or older from the 45 and Up Study were linked to mortality data from the New South Wales Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Australia). Participants sitting 8 to 11 h/d and those sitting 11 h/d or more were 15% and 40% more likely to die, respectively, than those who sat less than 4 h/d. The population-attributable fraction of sitting time suggested that sitting was responsible for 6.9% of deaths. The association between sitting and all-cause mortality appeared consistent across the sexes, age groups, body mass index categories, and physical activity levels and across healthy people compared with people with preexisting cardiovascular disease or diabetes. These findings suggest that prolonged sitting is a risk factor for all-cause mortality, independent of physical activity.
Among 4930 patients in the EVENT (Evaluation of Drug Eluting Stents and Ischemic Events) registry with paired creatine kinase–MB fraction (CKMB) and troponin data obtained after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), myocardial infarction (MI) diagnosis was much more frequent with troponin than CKMB (24.3% vs 7.2%). While both biomarkers were associated with increased risk for 1-year all-cause mortality, the hazard ratio (HR) for 3-fold elevation of troponin (adjusted HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5) was lower than for CKMB (adjusted HR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.5-4.1) and only approached that of CKMB at a troponin threshold of 20 times the diagnostic level. The currently proposed troponin threshold of 3 times the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit for post-PCI MI classifies nearly one-quarter of patients with events, thus providing limited discrimination for detection of events with greater prognostic significance. A peak troponin value greater than 20 times the diagnostic level approximates the frequency and hazard for late death associated with CKMB values greater than 3 times the diagnostic level.
Estimates of influenza vaccine effectiveness for older adults are largely from observational studies, which are susceptible to bias. Applying instrumental variable analysis, a method designed to control for unmeasured confounding, to linked health administrative databases in Ontario, Canada, Wong et al found influenza vaccination to be associated with reductions in the composite of pneumonia and influenza hospitalization and all-cause mortality during influenza season (adjusted odds ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.79-0.92) but not mortality alone (adjusted odds ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.84-1.03). Compared with standard regression modeling, instrumental variable analysis appears to produce less-biased estimates of influenza vaccine effectiveness.
Stelfox et al followed 3000 hospitalized patients with sudden clinical deterioration resulting in evaluation by an intensive care unit (ICU) medical emergency team. As the number of available ICU beds decreased, patients were less likely to be admitted to an ICU and more likely to have their goals of care changed to not include ICU admission, although hospital mortality did not vary. These findings suggest that valid admission and discharge guidelines for ICUs may help to guide resource allocation when demand for resources exceeds supply.

KAPOLEI, Hawaii - Michelle Wie is hoping a Hawaii stop on the LPGA Tour will inject a little aloha into her game.
She's 91st in the world ranking after breaking 70 only once in 18 rounds so far this season. Wie, a Punahou School alumnus, is coming off a season-best tie for 41st two weeks ago in the Kraft Nabisco Championship - after starting the tournament with an apology from Annika Sorenstam for being quoted as saying the former child prodigy hasn't shown the talent that initially made her a star.
And ahead of a press conference to open the LPGA Lotte Championship, organizers planned to bring five players, including the world's top three, to introduce the tournament to reporters. But not Wie.
Article Photos
Michelle Wie said, "There's nothing like coming back home," as she prepared Tuesday for the LPGA Lotte Championship at Ko Olina Golf Club.
AP photo
Still, the 23-year-old Stanford graduate says it's nice to be home, where she's more relaxed.
"There's nothing like coming back home," Wie told the Associated Press on Tuesday after finishing a pro-am round with four amateurs at 7-under-par in a scramble format.
Wie grew up in Honolulu, just a few miles east of the Ko Olina Golf Club, where the LPGA Lotte Championship is in its second year.
"As soon as you get off the plane, that smell - everything," she said. "It's great to play in front of a home crowd and hopefully a lot of people will come out tomorrow."
A friendly, familiar crowd couldn't hurt Wie, who won the last of her two LPGA Tour titles in 2010 and has gotten a lot of attention lately for her new putting style - an unorthodox stance where she bends at the waist, her back straight and nearly parallel to the ground with her eyes peering straight over the ball.
"Yeah, I enjoy being here and I'm very happy," Wie said when asked if being home could help turn things around. "I'm just going to go out and have fun tomorrow."

Hunter Industries
Hunter Industries
Hunter Industries is a worldwide distributor of residential and commercial irrigation systems with a global reach of over 80 countries and over 30,000 product SKUs. The goal with the new Hunter site was to incorporate all the product information in one easy to use location. This vast array of information included PDFs, documents, video tutorials, and product specifications.
The Challenge
The old site had 2,000 pages in HTML from 5 different designers within 6 years. All this information had to be user friendly in order to educate Contractors and Outside Installers. This was important because this information was necessary for these Contractors when making purchasing decisions at retail or commercial stores. Another primary focus of the new Hunter site was globalization, the site had to incorporate 7 different languages in an easy to manage process for the administrators. User Experience was key for the new Hunter site so as not to overwhelm the end user when conveying copious amounts of information and documentation in 7 different languages.
The Solution
Achieve was able to create an architecture and management system, by utilizing a customized Apache Solr search module, with an incredible amount of information in a way that does not overwhelm the end-user. Information was easy to find, as well as backwards compatible with older browsers. Achieve also utilized the Globalization ability of Drupal in order to give the customers the information in the desired language without having to create multiple sites. In order to do that Achieve created the Media Translation module to allow Hunter to group together related media files into a "translation set," and then automatically show the correct file for that language site .
The Results
The new Hunter site not only looks great but it is functional and conveys the desired product information to the end user. A 3 month Google Analytics review of the old site, 2011, to the new site, 2012, proved that Hunter's initial goals were meet and they saw 103% increase in visits, 93% increase in unique visitors, 160% increase in page views, and a 34% decrease in bounce rate. This was all accomplished on a site that now has 8,550 new pages, 4,743 images and documents, and 487 documents for download.
"Achieve's custom module elements … let any user, once they understand how our resource library and our support library and our case study library work, go into the system and look for what they want to find, by product type or customer type or location, and it'll surface that information really easily for them. To us that is an absolute masterpiece of the site in managing so much content," said Jeff Falk Sales and Marketing Director for Hunter Industries.
The Hunter site is now intuitive and easy to use in 7 different languages. It acts as a clean and uncluttered vehicle to convey the product information to the client with ease. This focused scope of information helped to eliminate decision paralysis among clients when purchasing Hunter Products at commercial retail stores.

In the end, Arsène Wenger must concede it is hard to preach what he has struggled to practise. He can talk about a softly-softly approach with regards to Jack Wilshere, but the 20-year-old's England call-up yesterday followed three starts for Arsenal in 11 days since his return from long-term injury.
We have been here before with regard to Wenger, Wilshere and England. The Arsenal manager spent much of the 2010-11 campaign warning about the dangers of burnout if Wilshere was fast-tracked by England, and particularly if he played in the European Under-21 Championship finals. In the end, Wilshere missed that

Grasp on Life
Well, it's been 1 week (at the time of posting) since baby was born. It seems that a time-warp factor is part of parenthood!
Sadly, despite having the camera at the ready, all photos have been "happy snaps" (and iPhone shots) and hardly anything photogenic enough (the shot, not the subject) to post here, so tonight I made a special effort.
Crop, sharpen, noise-reduction (ISO was very high in non-ideal lighting), light balance, slight vignette, more sharpen.

Got more room for another weather app on your iOS device? If you do, you might want to check out eWeather HD, which incidentally was just update to a newer version. This weather app promises to give you a visually stunning, feature-rich weather app with the latest weather information, local current conditions, extended forecast and more.
What is it?
Yes, it's another weather app for iOS. So, what makes it different from the rest? The app's many features may not be too different from the rest of the weather apps for iOS devices, so we will just highlight some of its key features and let you decide whether this eWeather delivers the goods you're looking for in such an app.
eWeather uses two weather sources located in the U.S. and E.U. You choose which source is applicable to your location, and the app will then yield hourly forecasts as well as a full ten day forecast for your current location. There's also the barometric pressure trends and earthquake data for those located in earthquake-prone areas. The app also gives you detailed and precise radar maps.
Summing up its key features:
- Two reliable, accurate data sources based in the U.S. and E.U
- 130,000 locations worldwide
- Extended long-term 10-day weather forecast
- Precise 24-hourly forecasts
- Weather maps as they appear on TV (current weather + forecast)
- "Follow me" location (it updates when you open the app, so you always know your local weather)
- Severe weather alerts, hurricane alerts, and other advisories
- Weather and temperature changes in the Notification Center
- Current temperature / "Feels like" temperature on your home screen using the "app badges"
- High-definition animated radar on zoomable maps (NEXRAD, U.S. only)
- Worldwide earthquakes provided by USGS and EMSC
- Clock and world weather
How does it work?
The app is pretty straighforward. In fact, its easy-to-use interface is one of its key selling points. The first time you fire up the app, you'll be greeted by the main screen containing pressure, humidity and wind information for your current location. Down below is the 10-day weather forecast. On the lower left portion of the screen is the refresh icon which should get you the updated weather information in your current location.
At the upper right portion of the screen are the earth and clock icons. Tap on the earth icon and the app shifts to the map view with weather current temperature in your location and nearby areas. Tap on the clock icon to bring out a huge weather clock with temperature information per hour. While in map view, you can tap on a particular location to reveal the area's 5-day weather forecast.
Is it contagious?
Given all those mentioned key features, do we still need to state that eWeather is a great weather app for your iOS device? If you want to be sure of what the weather's going to be like in any given day, grab this app from the app store. It's price is justified by the useful information you'll get from it.

great food !!!!!
I was disappointed in the menu (see my picture). It's the same items that you can normally get GF. Then I ordered the knot-chos and found out afterwards that the chips are homemade in a shared fryer (see my picture). They were delicious but I pray I don't pay for it later. :(
Good selection of GF items on the menu. Lesson learned, always ask because you can't tell by looking which restaurants will be aware of GF needs.

An ice cold beer with a freshly queezed lime... YUM!!!
Depends how you and your SO feel about it, and how you think those around you woule react. I think if you think they'd all be OK with it great! Or if you don't really care about how those around you would react, great. Personally, I think it is fine. But, if it were me I'd weight it against any potential friction that might occur. It sounds like you aren't a worry wort, but if you are the type who will beat yourself up afterward because of the "what-ifs," I wouldn't do it.

I would...
Of course, I'd probably opt for the real thing though.
Funny story, I was at a Birthday party this past weekend, with two other pregnant ladies. One was 34 weeks. I came walking out back with a beer for SO and someone made a smartass comment that I shouldn't be drinking. I let them know it was for SO, and the woman piped up and said "oh God, if she wants a beer she can have one!".
I had to tell her that he was joking, but it was interesting to me to see how people IRL think compared to this board.

As credit spreads have tightened on a nearly continuous trend over the past year, they are becoming richly valued relative to their historical average.
Corporate credit spreads are fairly valued--albeit at the tight end of the range that we view as fairly valued.
Following is a roundup of stocks that recently jumped to 5 stars. By way of background, we award a stock 5 stars when it trades at a suitably large discount--i.e., a margin of safety--to our fair value estimate. Thus, when a stock hits 5-star territory, we consider it an especially compelling ...
Widening investment-grade credit spreads and rising interest rates lead to losses.
Rising interest rates have taken their toll, but as the Fed delays dialing back on stimulus, investors are poised to recapture some of their losses.

Spinal stenosis is the degenerative narrowing of the spaces in the spine that can lead to spinal cord and/or nerve root compression and is believed to be the cause of leg and back pain for nearly 1.2 million Americans. Patients with spinal stenosis may experience chronic pain in the lower back region along with radiating leg pain. It is typically treated with physical therapy and other noninvasive therapies.
For patients who fail drug therapy and/or physical therapy, a physician may recommend a surgical spinal decompression procedure, which removes the bone and soft tissue pressing on the nerve roots. Spinal decompression can involve a large incision and may result in a relatively lengthy recovery period.
Superion ISS was designed as an alternative to traditional spinal surgery and the more invasive commercially available X-STOP IPD. The Superion minimally invasive surgical technique is performed through a single, half-inch skin incision. Once in place, the device is intended to act as a support column to open the passageways that contain the spinal cord and nerve roots. This may reduce the compression on the nerves, resulting in potential pain relief in the leg, groin and buttocks, and the return to a more active lifestyle.
"Spinal stenosis, which causes chronic lower back and leg pain, can have a tremendous impact, limiting a person's physical activity. While there are treatment options, many patients want less invasive options. Superion ISS may represent a significant advancement in the evolution of minimally invasive spine surgery," said Vito A. Loguidice, M.D., founding member and spine surgery specialist at Orthopedic Associates of the Greater Lehigh Valley. "Orthopedic Associates of the Greater Lehigh Valley was selected to participate in this study because of our extensive experience treating patients who suffer from lumbar spinal stenosis and chronic leg pain. We look forward to contributing to this research to determine if the Superion ISS is a safe and effective option for spinal stenosis."
The Superion Interspinous Spacer Clinical trial will enroll individuals with lumbar spinal stenosis who have not had success with other treatments. To be eligible for screening and inclusion in the trial, individuals must:
Be diagnosed with moderate lumbar spinal stenosis.
Be at least 45 years of age.
Have symptoms which include persistent leg, buttock and/or groin pain that is relieved by sitting or bending forward. Study candidates will have experienced these symptoms for at least six months and cannot have a history of prior surgery of the lumbar spine.
Patients who meet the study criteria and agree to participate in the study are randomly chosen to receive either the X-STOP IPD or the Superion ISS and will be evaluated at specific follow-up visits for 24 months after their surgery. Individuals suffering from leg pain and numbness caused by lumbar spinal stenosis who would like to receive more information about the Superion Interspinous Spacer Clinical Trial should contact 1-888-978-8391, or visit superionstudy.com/index.html.
NOTE: The Superion Interspinous Spacer (ISS) is an investigational device and limited by federal law to investigational use only.

Once you have gone through and organized your entire project, you may still find that it might be difficult to find what you need. However, if you've taken the time up front to intelligently name your clips as well as add custom data to your clips, you will be in luck when you need to find exactly what you are looking for. That's because Media Composer contains a really nice Find tool which has capabilities to search for both the written and spoken word. So you can find the Find tool from the Edit menu or just press Command+F, and up here at the top is where you're going to put in your initial Search criteria.
Before you do that, however, you want to look down here in the Bin Index, and if you use PhraseFind, which we'll take a look at in a second, you want to make sure that these are fully green. When you open up a project for the first time, it actually has to go through all of your bins and analyze all of the clips and get it all logged, it might take a little bit of time, same thing for PhraseFind, it actually goes through and analyzes the spoken word, so that might take a little time as well. You will also want to make sure that you have the appropriate language selected. So if you come up here and put in your first search criteria, for example, let's say we want to find a clip that I was looking at the other day, and it's of BD, the documentary's subject and talking to his friend Jonathan.
So I am just going to type in BD, and right now we just want to press Find, and you can see here that it found 59 instances of BD. So I can go through and try to find the one that mentions Jonathan as well, or just come right down in here and filter it further, and I am just going to type Jonathan, and you can see that I've got it, it automatically filters it. So it found 59 and then ultimately came up with one result.
I cannot drag this anywhere. This is just a result list. So it's not like you can use this to bring footage from bin to bin, but what you can do is load this into the Source Monitor and here we go, okay. So basically, Find is pretty easy. You could also filter on a specific column, if you wanted to make sure that you were searching for columns of information that you input or one of Avid's own columns, you can certainly dictate that in this pulldown menu.
Okay, so that's the Find tool, it's fairly intuitive. Right now we are looking through Clips and Sequences, which means that we're looking for all of the clips and sequences in our Bins. We are going to take a look at Script Text later where we actually import digital scripts and search for words on those scripts, and we'll also take a look at Timeline and Monitors later, once we have actually edited something and have something in our Timeline. But I do want to also go over the PhraseFind. Now PhraseFind is $500.
So it's an extra $500, but it sometimes just can make or break your experience, especially with documentary editing. So it actually will go in and analyze the spoken word. So that's really great if you don't have the money to send a way to do transcripts, you can actually have Media Composer go in, analyze every clip, and when you put in a keyword here, it's going to bring up the moments in all of those clips that match that keyword. Let's go ahead and say that we want to find some clips where they're talking about Santa Barbara.
We really want to focus in on the parts of the documentary where we're talking about how Santa Barbara is the up-and-coming region for farmers markets, so I'm going to just type in Santa Barbara, and this time I am going to press PhraseFind. So, it's going to go through and find all of the instances in which it found Santa Barbara being spoken, and you can see that there is only two. Now look, here it says Found: 68, after filtering: 2.
The reason for that is because Jonathan is still in here. So we want to take him out, so he says Santa Barbara twice--ah, here we go. So here we have all 68 results of people saying Santa Barbara, and if you take a look in this column here, the Score column, this is basically Media Composer's guarantee that it got it right. So here it says that I'm about 98% sure that right now he's saying Santa Barbara. So if I go ahead and load this, let's just check it out.
(BD Dautch: ...Santa Barbara, the first one--) Yup, that worked out fine, and I'll keep going. (BD Dautch: ...the Santa Barbara, the first one--) And that actually is from the same moment, and you can kind of go down. (BD Dautch: ...Santa Barbara market--) All right, so I would say that pretty much anything above 80% is really, really accurate. If we come down here, let's just pick something more towards the cusp. Let's do here 81% sure that this says Santa Barbara. (BD Dautch: ...Santa Barbara, a slow growth area--) Yeah, so pretty good. And let's pick something way down the list.
(BD Dautch: ...come to the market, rather than--) See, didn't exactly work there. So my experience is that if you pick from the top of the lot there, it will work out really well. And again, this is really, really nice if you don't have the opportunity to send away for transcripts and match your Master clips to your transcripts. This is really great because you can sift through the spoken word, and it's doing that for you. So both Find and PhraseFind are tremendous time-saving tools when you need to immediately find a specific shot of B-roll or that perfect sound bite.
I really think you'll find that you use them often, especially in documentary projects like Farm to Table.

Men. Dorito Tacos. Yes they did!
Dorm students and artists working all hours of the night, REJOICE! Taco Bell has managed to elevate junk food with fast food to create fast junk food.
Jim felt an obligation to Man Meets Stove to conduct a scientific taste test. Okay, who am I kidding? I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. Geologists start out their field careers as professional fast food eaters. It's a thing.
So I pulled up to the Bell and ordered two Dorito Taco Loco Supremes and promptly took a bite of day-glo orange Dorito goodness. The taco is, well, Taco Bell. Whatever that meat is, it is not my 70/30 hamburger. That was the unnatural part. The Dorito taco shells though? THOSE are a natural. Natural fit that is. Anything that orangey delicious has to be good, right? The two tacos went down real well. Would I want to eat three? Maybe when I was 18. Okay maybe now, but not four. These are serious junk food folks.
If you cannot get to real mexican food at 2 am, this is just the thing for you. This florescent orange power pellet and a 44 ounce diet cola will keep those brain batteries running. Maybe not running WELL mind you, but running nevertheless.
I give it a three out of four Twinkies.

Okay, so the title is a reference to Canterbury Tales and probably indicative of nothing more or less than I do not know what to call this post about one of the many acts of charcuterie that I committed this early summer week. Time to move on...

When I saw the title, I was thinking of something else entirely. Long ago, I knew a guy who lived in a little log cabin, way back in the woods, where he raised all his own food -- including a couple of pigs. He never wasted anything when he slaughtered a pig.
Next to his cook stove, hanging on a nail, there was always a curly pig's tail -- at the base of which was a lump of fat. When he was cooking -- say eggs or pancakes -- he'd use the tail like a brush to grease his skillet, then hang it back on the nail.
I can't say much for his hygiene, but it's hard to default his practicality.

Arsenal are ready to offer contract rebel winger plus cash for Liverpool ace
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott's contract situation still hangs in the balance while the Gunners are looking to offload the player to Liverpool in exchange of youngster Raheem Sterling, plus £8m cash, according to reports from The Sun.
The 23-year-old has less than one year left in his contract and would be eligible to sign a pre-contract elsewhere in the January transfer window.
Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has made it clear that the club will try its best to keep him, but if the negotiation fails to reach a satisfactory point, the player would be sold.
The Frenchman said "It's always important to keep your best players but if selling Walcott should happen, we'll replace him with someone, another big name."
Walcott is demanding a fee in the region of £90k per week while the Gunners are only willing to provide £75k per week. Liverpool can give him the salary he demands and also his preffered role of a central forward, but the club won't part ways with a promising academy youngster like Raheem Sterling.
The 17-year-old has shown great maturity this season and has excelled under manager Brendan Rodgers. It is highly unthinkable that Rodgers would entertain such absurd part exchange deals, especially for a player who will be available on a free transfer next season.

Indiana Tea Party Targets Centrist Republican
REYNOLDS, Ind.—Two meetings in recent days in this Midwestern state showed the predicament facing Sen. Richard Lugar, a six-term Republican with a centrist profile, as he runs for re-election next year.
When Mr. Lugar came to this farming town of 500 people Saturday to build bridges with a local tea-party group, he found mostly skepticism.
"You seem to feel you're somehow indispensable in Washington," Bob Callahan, 65, a retired salesman from Monticello, told the senator at meeting in an elementary-school gym. He compared Mr. Lugar to the professional football quarterback Brett Favre, saying: "There's nothing sadder than an athlete that doesn't know when to get out."
Eighty miles south in Indianapolis about 40 people huddled Friday with FreedomWorks, a group based in Washington, D.C., that helps coordinate tea-party groups across the U.S. On the agenda, in a closed-door meeting in a hotel ballroom, was how to unify behind a Republican to challenge Mr. Lugar in next year's primary. "Our knuckles are going to get bloody," said Monica Boyer, 35, a secretary and mother of four with Hoosiers for Conservative Senate.
Tea-party groups have decided their main Republican target in the next election is Mr. Lugar, a 78-year-old foreign policy specialist who, along with Orrin Hatch of Utah, is his party's longest-serving senator. Tea-party groups also may become active in Republican primaries to unseat Mr. Hatch and Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine
Indiana activists were upset with Mr. Lugar's vote for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which pumped billions of dollars into ailing financial institutions during the financial crisis of 2008, his support for President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominees and his willingness to work with Democrats. Another point of tension: Mr. Lugar's role in working with Mr. Obama to shepherd the New Start nuclear arms treaty with Russia through the Senate late last year.
In last year's primary for Indiana's other Senate seat, tea-party leaders split among four candidates. Now-Sen. Dan Coats, a former U.S. senator and lobbyist, won. He's too establishment, activists said
Elsewhere last year, several Senate candidates backed by a portion of the tea-party movement failed, including Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada. Taking a lesson from those experiences, FreedomWorks and some others in Indiana want a formal tea-party caucus this summer to vet candidates and unify behind an anti-Lugar nominee.
Republican challengers to Mr. Lugar include Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock. Another favorite of conservatives, state Sen. Mike Delph, may also run.
Sal Russo, the GOP strategist behind the Tea Party Express, which put millions of dollars behind candidates in Republican primaries last year, said in an interview he would spend money in Indiana in 2012.
Mr. Lugar had a campaign war chest of $2.4 million as of Dec. 31. His office released a poll late last year saying that about two-thirds of the state approved of his job performance. His campaign office did not release internal polls of his standing among GOP primary voters.
Democrats hope a contentious primary could create an opening. The party did not run a candidate against Mr. Lugar in 2006, and no Democrat has stepped forward so far for the 2012 race.
In Reynolds, Mr. Lugar attended an event sponsored by the White County Tea Party Patriots. He told the group that government spending must be cut, aligning himself with the top tea-party priority. But he cautioned against a government shutdown, which could result if budget negotiations between the two parties fail.
"We really, in a responsible way, have to keep our government going. But we have to do so with a very substantial budget change," Mr. Lugar said.
He said the U.S. didn't have the money to take a role in the conflict in Libya, which he said also bordered on being unconstitutional because American involvement was not authorized by Congress. It was one of the few times he found agreement with the audience.
The 70 or so in attendance mostly grilled Mr. Lugar on other matters: his views on concealed handguns (he opposes them) and the United Nations (he wants the U.S. to remain a member).
In an interview, Mr. Lugar said there were "really vivid contrasts" between his views and those of some in the audience.
"Ultimately voters have to make decisions based on usually someone with whom they do not agree 100%," he said.

HOLYOKE - They'll always have Eyjafjallajoekull.
Instead of Paris, a group of stranded French students from Holyoke Catholic High School ended up visiting the hard-to-pronounce ash-belching Icelandic volcano this weekend.
"It was pretty cool to see it even if it was the reason we were stuck in Iceland," said Teilyn M. Lopez, 19, and a freshman at Western New England College who went on the trip with her sister, Michelle J. Lopez, a Holyoke Catholic 11th grader.
The group of 12 students – 11 girls and one boy – and two chaperones left Boston's Logan International Airport Thursday for what was to have been a tour of France, said Jacqueline E. Peret, a Holyoke Catholic sophomore from Chicopee. She said the airline told the students that the volcano was already disrupting air traffic, but they were assured that they would get a connecting flight from Iceland to Paris with in a few hours.
"It turned into an 84-hour layover," said Alexis J. Tronesti, a sophomore from Holyoke.
The caught the first available seats back to Boston and arrived home Monday night.
Airlines began flights too and from some parts of Europe Tuesday.
While in Iceland, the intrepid travelers toured hot springs and a geothermal power plant and enjoyed views of the starkly beautiful countryside and rocky coastline. It wasn't the Loire Valley, but as the French would say: "c'est la vie."
Teilyn M. Lopez said: "Actually, we had a lot of things to do while we were there."
Tronesti marveled at the Iceland's famous "Blue Lagoon" hot-spring spa.
"It was beautiful," she said "It was like a big natural hot tub."
What wasn't warm was the weather. The girls packed with Paris in the springtime in mind.
"We all had shorts and dresses," Tronesti said. "But the warmest it got was 20 degrees. The warmest it ever gets is 60 and that is months away. And we had to walk everywhere. It was cold."
Tronesti said there is a possibility that the group's trip insurance will pay off and they might be able to reschedule their trip to France for July, but the particulars have yet to be worked out.
