So, when Resurrection City was done, did you ever think about giving up?
When Resurrection City was done I never thought about giving up. It was, you know, I thought about how do I get up and figure out a new way, ah, to keep going. I don't think anybody ever has a right to give up, ah, on children or give up on the poor. The needs remain. The needs grow. I was raised at a time by Black adults, my daddy was a preacher like Dr. King where, if you saw a need, you, you, you tried to respond. And they showed us by personal example how to respond. In my little home town in rural, segregated South Carolina there was no playground where Black kids could go and play because we were segregated. So my daddy build a playground behind the church. There was no Black home for the aged in South Carolina to take the elderly. So that my daddy and mama started one and we kids were taught to, to serve and clean and cook. So we learned that it was our responsibility to take care of the elderly. The question was never why, if there was a need, should somebody else do something. We were taught to ask why I don't do something. And Dr. King and Whitney Young and others of the '60s reinforced that in college. And so when, and by his example, he struggled and went through his doubts. He was often discouraged. He was often dis--depressed. He didn't know where he was going to go from day to day, ah, despite the larger vision for what was right for America, ah, and so what right did we have not to try to carry on. None of us had his eloquence and certainly not his goodness, ah, but in our own ways, with our hands and our limited visions, we can try and craft together his dream, ah, for the children who have not yet had a chance to realize it. So no, it didn't occur to me to give up. It occurred to me to go on and figure out a way to make it happen.
That was great.

Everyone has it within his power to say, this I am today, that I shall be tomorrow.— Louis L'Amour

Professional advancement means different things to different people. For some, it is important to be the leader of their medical group—whether it is a hospital group or a private practice. For others, it means being associate professor or department chair. And, for a few, it will mean becoming the chief executive officer of a hospital or healthcare company. Much of this comes down to trying to make a difference to the patients and other people around us, as well as trying to bring about improvements in healthcare.
To many physicians, trying to make a difference has been limited to making sure we are doing a good job—diagnostically, pharmacologically, and emotionally—for our individual patients. However, as we become adept at serving the individual patient, we often feel a need to take on more challenges. Medical staff leadership is one way to affect the care of many by directing the actions of the group.
Healthcare is a large component of our country's economy, and this is not likely to change. In addition, it is an area with many challenges: the aging population, the uninsured population, new pharmaceutical developments, and medical device discoveries. There will be a continued demand for individuals who can understand this very complex intersection of business and medicine.
Fill in the Gaps and Offer Your Help
How many times have we heard our colleagues complain that "the problems never change and nothing gets done around here"? No doubt, change is tough, but taking a role in your department or at your hospital is a way to start. Many hospitalists are filling in the leadership gaps as other specialists move to outpatient centers or into the office. Posts that have traditionally been held by cardiology or urology are changing.
Give some thought to where you might help out. A commitment to something as simple as the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee can lead to changes for all the patients as well as get you started on your new career path. Every chief of staff and vice president of medical affairs is looking for volunteers who are interested in projects and can follow through. This applies to department chairmen as well. Given the commitment we all have to our patients and our lives, the offer of help for even just one project is a breath of fresh air to those who have the responsibility for the group or department. Depending on your area of interest—patient safety, quality improvement, patient or medical student education, or process improvement—a project can be created that furthers your institution and addresses your interests.

NPS Implements Annual Seasonal ORV Closures on May 15
Contact: Outer Banks Group, 252-473-2111
Superintendent Mike Murray announced the annual seasonal closures of village beaches to off-road vehicle (ORV) use within the National Seashore will go into effect at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 15, 2011. In addition, the beach driving speed limit is reduced from 25 mph to 15 mph in all locations open to ORV use, unless otherwise posted, from May 15 – September 15. The ORV closures are established in village beach areas that receive heavy pedestrian use, including areas adjacent to Coquina Beach and the villages of Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. "These closures provide for the safety of all beach users and minimize user conflicts in congested areas during the busy summer season," said Superintendent Murray.
The seasonally closed areas are identified by signs at both ends of the area and on maps available for viewing at the offices of the Superintendent and each District Ranger station and on the Seashore's website at: http://www.nps.gov/caha/planyourvisit/off-road-vehicle-use.htm. To ensure a safe visit for everyone, visitors are reminded to keep dogs on leashes and pack in/pack out all trash. Swimmers should be aware of rough surf conditions and the potential for rip currents. Fireworks are not permitted on National Seashore beaches.
The ORV closures apply to the following areas:
For more information on beach access, see the weekly Beach Access Reports or Google Earth map posted on the Seashore's website or call 252-473-2111 ext. 148.

If you want assurrance I did the same thing and i guess it is risky.Lets see the dividend could be cut.The oil wells may dry up faster than they should, The stock could go down another 50% to pay the 10% at 2.50 or it could just cut it.
What I think is this stock may turn out to be a growth stock.They may even purchase more land than they have now.But like GOLD I don't see them getting nothing for the oil they are going to produce.Just a question on what it costs to produce and ship out.How much oil and how much Nat Gas and what kind at what price.
There's clearly risk with PGH, but there's risk with any investment. Management made an interesting explanation of their plan going forward. Anyone interested in PGH should read it rather than me paraphrasing it. My take was that they have a plan that includes the current dividend payment through the transition period to make the Linbergh(sp) project operative and profitable. The SA analyst that wrote the article I "presume" made some judgment about the management credibility. My portfolio has slowly turned over the past couple of years to a screaming, boring blue chipper. I'm also intrigued with MLP's. So, for the sake of some speculative excitement and additional exposure to the Canadian dollar, I increased my position in PGH. Scenarios like seeing the dividend reduced would be disappointing, but 5% is not too shabby as long as management is upfront and transparent. It's a decent div rate while we wait for a decent capital gain, if they are successful.

What can i see i Bangalore for 1.5 days? Air India early arrives in Bangalore on 8 December at 1 pm plus. I will fly to Hyderabad on 9 December after 4 pm.
I want a plan a trip to Goa with my friends, and require some help with planning for the whole trip.
We are all from Delhi, and we need all kinds of details given on how to plan a trip to Goa from traveling from Delhi to sightseeing in Goa and coming back home.
We are not too sure on how many days we should stay in Goa as well, so all the information provided such as places to see and things to do will allow us to find out what the duration of our holiday would be.
I'll be staying at Bani Park so wondering if I should, on arrival at the airport, take advantage of Sanganer's proximity and ask the state tour desk to recommend a taxi tour (?1 hour) of the cloth- and paper-making area, thence to Bani Park (with my suitcase). Wondering about feasibility/advisability and cost.
I'm also keen on puppets and wonder where I could see performances.
I'll be in Mumbai soon and am looking for some good snooker halls.
We are planning a short trip to Delhi. We would be doing the local sightseeing to places like lotus temple, Red Fort, Qutub Minar, OLd Fort, Humayun's tomb. We are looking to book a tempo traveller for our local sightseeing. Is the tempo traveler comfortable, as i am booking for the first time. Read the reviews of http://tempo-traveller.com is their service good. We would also go to shimla,kullu, Manali from Delhi can anybody suggest a good itinerary for that.
I read in some other forum that there is a Bus Stand very close to Nasiyan temple to take the bus to Puskhar.
I was looking at maps and searching to confirm this but I haven't find any more info on it.
1) Is there a bus stand there?
2) are those buses the same that start their route close to the train station?
3) Is there any "flagging" signal I have to do so the bus stop or they always stop there?
I would prefer to take the bus from there but otherwise I will take a taxi back to bus station.
can someone give me info on pandavapura? has anyone been there? can u tell what the place is about?
where are all the hippies gone , i first travelled to goa in the year i think around 1993 and i continued it till 2000 we used to visit in the month of december for christmas and new year but in 2000 i saw tht all the parties were commercialized and more indian tourists were to be seen from 2000, since then the hippies were marginalised, and after that whenever i visited goa i hardly noticed any hippies , very few were there because of the influx of indian tourists i think these hippies moved away from goa , though i heard about goa that in the 1980s many europeans visits goa, and they resides at anjuna and wagator beaches, and heard that in particular beach they stay nude at that time , and they smoke marijuana hashish charas and ganja,but when i started going to goa i never saw any one who were bathing nude or anyone nude resting on the beaches, but ya i saw many women's who were taking rest without bra on the beaches, they used to enjoy the noon at the beaches and the whole entire night they used to spend in acid parties which they used to call , and whole night they used to smoke marijuana and dancing continuously till morning, and i too used to enjoy with them with some of my friends and we felt like heaven in goa, it was an unforgettable moments in my life which i spend in goa along with my friends with the original hippies, and they were very lovely people , they never got involved in any crimes or never disturbed anyone they just loved their lives and they lived their lives as they want without disturbing anyone,and i think they were not commercialized people , when we made some hippie friends and asked them how they survive here they used to tell that they worked for six months in their home country and other six months they stayed in goa enjoying their lives in goa, because they told me that here in goa its very cheap and in europe it is very costly so they choose goa for entertainment and for peace, in those days very few indians used to travel in that beaches particularly anjuna and wagator beaches were full of europeans and the whole surroundings were mostly europeans , very few indians were to be seen in these beaches and hardly any indian were to be seen in acid parties which used to start at 12 am, so very few indians were to be seen but we were regular we used to hunt for this parties by riding our byces in the villages and we used to find acid parties mostly in anjuna and wagator , some of the famous place where these parties were in hill top , bamboo forest, disco valley , nine bar , prem bar, shore bar, and many but i don't remember all the names but this names were very popular at that time, though we visited continuously for 7 years but we never saw goa other than these 2 beaches , most of the time we spend sleeping in the day time and we used to spend our whole night in the parties drinking and dancing , but recently i visited goa again in 2002 and i saw very few europeans were there though there were night parties but there was no charm without hippies in tht parties, and recently when i visited in 2013 and 2015 i saw that most of the europeans left goa and the hippie culture is finished in goa and now a days a few russians are to be seen in morjim beach and arambol beach and baga anjuna and wagator beaches are infuxed with inidan tourists , and the charm of goa is finished , its no more paradise or heaven without the hippies.

Is Old Locked Safe Linked to Susan B. Anthony?
Historians in Rochester are eagerly awaiting the opening of an old safe that could be linked to women's rights advocate Susan B. Anthony.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that the safe is in the Manhattan office of the National Council of Women of the United States, an organization Anthony helped establish 125 years ago.
Officials at the University of Rochester's Susan B. Anthony Center for Women's Leadership have hired a locksmith to open the safe on Tuesday. Staff members at the National Council of Women say the safe hasn't been opened in years.
Anthony helped create the organization in 1888.
The safe's door is etched with the words "Woman Suffrage Party," a group formed in 1909. Anthony died in Rochester three years earlier and is buried there.

Matthew Hensley was a pioneer among business owners when he opened Charleston Beer Works on the run-down upper King Street in 2003.
What they said
"I'm in total agreement with his (the mayor's) vision for the community. Despite the high revenues that come with restaurants and lounges, he's willing to look at the long-term effects and not sacrifice for the near future. "
Paul Stoney, president and CEO of Greater Charleston
"The closing ordinance is bad for business, but the way kids are behaving lately, they should add cops to areas besides King Street, like Spring Street. It's not necessary that bars close early."
Michael Bond, part owner of Dell'z Deli
"I've watched smaller local businesses get pushed out because of the rent that can be charged for a restaurant. I can't pull in what a restaurant pulls in. Which is not to say that you don't want nice restaurants, but having a nice combination of both would be nice."
Christina Mikolajcik-Edles, owner of Sweet 185 Sugaring Studio and Organic Boutique
"The mayor's vision is correct. We need more retail - family-oriented. We've got too many bars. It should be liveable. I've been to Beale Street and New Orleans, and if this became like that, we'd lose a lot of the historical texture."
Louis Smith, director of the Community Resource Center of Summerville
The street in recent years has sprung back to life, largely due to restaurants, bars and other businesses that took a risk in opening there.
But now, an ordinance which received preliminary approval from the Charleston City County last month threatens Hensley's livelihood by limiting when alcohol could be sold in a new entertainment district.
The ordinance passed the first of three votes 12-1, with only Councilman Dean Riegel opposed. The final two votes will take place after a public hearing is held at a later date.
Hensley has to move because Charleston Beer Works' lease wasn't renewed. He found a new location, also on upper King Street, and was set to start renovations. But his attorney advised him to stop because if the ordinance eventually passed, he would have to close at midnight, while established businesses that sell alcohol could stay open until 2 a.m.
"We have a unique situation," Hensley said. He hopes the new ordinance ultimately leaves room for some case-by-case analysis. "I hope they don't just leave us out to dry."
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, Police Chief Greg Mullen and Tim Keane, the city's planning director encouraged council members to support the plan, saying the city had reached "a tipping point." More bars in the area could keep other kinds of businesses from opening there, they said.
And experienced city planners say streets with large concentrations of bars, such as Bourbon Street in New Orleans, are not good for cities. They favor mixed-use districts that include restaurants, bars, housing and other businesses.
Riley said the city will hold a public hearing on the proposal at the Planning Commission's August meeting, for which a date hasn't been set. "There will be plenty of time for us to consider this and for us to receive input," he said.
City Council must vote on the ordinance two more times, and several members say they expect it to be dramatically modified before the final vote because many people in the food and beverage industry and others have complained about it. Council members, however, offered few details on how it might be changed.
If the ordinance passed the way it's written today, new businesses selling alcoholic beverages in the heart of the historic tourist and nightlife district would have to close at midnight instead of 2 a.m. The district includes the Market a portion of East Bay Street, all of King Street and much of Meeting Street.
The ordinance also would prohibit many businesses within it from operating between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m., including food stores, gas stations, restaurants, bars and other establishments that sell alcohol. It would not apply to eating and drinking facilities within establishments that have more than 20 living or sleeping units.
City Councilman Aubry Alexander said he has received about 100 emails from citizens about the plan. Only one of them was in favor of it, he said. "The rest were adamantly opposed."
One change Alexander would like to see is allowing established businesses, like Charleston Beer Works, to stay open until 2 a.m., even if they move. The ordinance now grandfathers properties, not businesses, he said.
Alexander, in an email to other council members earlier this month, said "quite frankly, I'm ashamed of casting my vote for the first reading of the late night zoning overlay. As usual, a last minute emotionally charged decision was demanded." But Alexander said Monday that giving initial approval to the ordinance has prompted a lot of conversations among council members, residents and the business community.
Council members have been told by city administrators that there are a lot of public safety problems in the entertainment district, especially on upper King Street, he said. But representatives from the food and beverage industry have told him that's not the case, and he hopes that can be cleared up, he said.
Councilman Keith Waring said many residents and business owners have reached out to him about the ordinance. "The vast majority of council members know something needs to be done" to modify the ordinance, he said. "It's clear the food and beverage industry wasn't reached out to in a way it should have been."
But the problems on upper King Street are getting out of control, he said, and the city needs to take action before it gets worse.
Waring said he's gone down to upper King Street around 1 a.m. to see what was happening there. "The unruliness has been getting out of hand for a awhile," he said. The city recently has expanded its police force, Waring said. "But you're not going to be able to arrest your way out of this problem."
Kathy Britzius, director of the Charleston Restaurant Association, said her group is taking a wait-and-see approach about the ordinance. Members are talking to council members and others, hoping to let them know how it might affect businesses. "We're watching everything really closely," she said.

Steve Heilmanm with Charleston Distilling Company, uses a pressure washer to clean the King Street sidewalk in front of the business Monday morning. Some officials are concerned that too high a concentration of bars and restaurants along upper King Street will drive out residents and other businesses.×

There are reports of a new man in Britney Spears's life. Another new man, that is.
Britain's Daily Telegraph and the Scottish Daily Record & Sunday Mail -- fairly reputable sources both -- say the pop princess (who has been linked to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and "Phone Booth"'s Irish actor Colin Farrell since her breakup with Justin Timberlake last year) is now showering her affections on Phil Maloof.
Who is Phil Maloof? A 36-year-old multi-millionaire businessman whose family holdings include the Sacramento Kings basketball team and Las Vegas's Palms hotel and casino, according to his family's Web site. He is also a former state senator in New Mexico, where he was a quarterback at that state's university.
The Maloof Web site also touts the fact that the young scion was tough on crime during his career as a politico, and was one of the first to promote New Mexico's Three Strikes, You're Out law.
As for what he's doing with Spears, 21, the Record has them recently sharing a candlelit dinner in Vegas's exclusive N9NE steakhouse before they moved on to a club at the nearby Mandalay Bay, where they reportedly danced most of the night away.
There has been no comment from the Spears or Maloof camps on the stories.

It's been a very uncomfortable and revealing week.
This coming Monday I will be evaluated at the Hallowell Center in Sudbury MA. For Attention Deficit Disorder, or; ADD.
I'm not afraid of the results. I already know the outcome.
The reason I want to go and get the evaluation is:
- To validate my life experience.
- For the help I can get and the hope that I feel for understanding how my brain works. I feel a sense of hope that once I am able to better understand the issue and the behavior/symptoms that I struggle with that I will be able to find some relief as well as a way to better regulate the fluctuating energy I constantly feel.
Until now, I've secretively believed somewhere deep down inside myself, that I am stupid, inadequate, incompetent. I've wondered about learning disabilities, chemical imbalances, and even Lyme. I've struggled for so long to understand why I can't seem to get through a day without feeling the need to go lay down. Why sometimes I feel like I can climb to epic heights and other times I feel spacey and quite able and willing to take a nap at any given time of day.
Until this past Monday I thought I knew what ADD was– boy, was i wrong.
I'd dismissed any real possibility that the diagnosis was applicable to me in any way. The term ADD or ADHD brought to mind hyper little boys.
I thought people with ADD were unable to focus on things, yet I've been able to accomplish so much- and can focus intently on projects I am passionate about. I'd associated it with people who were unable to give their attention to things for a reasonable period of time and were terribly distracted and over the top in terms of their energy levels being erratic, and over the top. Not so.
Now that I really know what it is… and how it manifests- I am certain that this is exactly what I have struggled with. I have never been more certain of anything actually, and so although I may sound as if I am jumping the gun in choosing the disorder de'jour, I know I'm not.
Let me back up. It's not like i've done my whole life thinking that something was *wrong* with me. I've just observed that I am much different from my peers in my way of looking at the world, and structuring my life, and in my ability to retain information. The *symptoms* have been explainable- and so I have often rationalized them away, or have had others help me rationalize them away…
"You are just scattered – you take a lot on"
"Your a big thinker, not a detail person"
and then there are those comments that seem to haunt me now…
"Why can't you just put the scissors back where you found them?"
"You need to get organized, how can you get anything done with your desk that way?"
"Are you having a blonde moment?"
"Hello! Monica, are you with us?"
The zoning out – since I was a child… off in my own world, and unable to follow along with the teacher on any given subject. The report cards, the parent teacher meetings, the failed tests, my consistent inability to remember the details or directions. It didn't seem to matter how many times i was told, or how many times a task was demonstrated.
I stopped trying to remember phone numbers or to memorize multiplication tables early on, I just could not retain them. I also gave up on making lists because as soon as I wrote it down, I lost it. Just yesterday I could not find my phone until minutes later I saw my makeup tin vibrating. There it was nestled up with my mascara and face cream. I never knew there was an explanation for my embarrassing faux paws or my impulsive behavior. I'd tell myself I was just eccentric. I told myself that whatever the hell was wrong with me I'd better learn to mask it and mask it good, otherwise people would know they were dealing with a space shot.
As I listened to podcasts this week on the subject I alternately sobbed, laughed, and felt sick as memories flooded my mind of all the ways in which the words resonated with me, and the puzzle pieces began to come together. I am text book… and yet this fact has eluded me my whole life . I've been to countless Dr. appointments, therapies, a library of self help books, and alternative remedies administered by experts in all fields.
I feel like someone who has just stepped in dog shit- but who keeps going around to everyone else asking them to please check their shoes…
"do you smell that?! It smells like someone stepped in dog shit."
*sniff **sniff*… only to finally realize that its been on my own foot the whole time.
I know that right now I am on the roller coaster ride one feels when they finally have answers to something that they've somehow always suspected but have never been accurately informed about. I'm on the part in the ride right now where I feel more grief, anger and sadness than I do freedom and elation at finally finding the suspect. I feel like I've been looking everywhere and it's been as plain as the nose on my face- urrrggg.
I wonder why I'd never really given the idea much thought… yet my friends and family have been kind of saying it in so many ways for years. It's not as if I was purposely ignoring their comments- but I'd just lumped them into the dumb blonde category vs. the "hey – they might be on to something here" one. My own ignorance on the subject is what kept me from applying it to my own life experience.
I don't tell you this because I feel sorry for myself. I tell you to be transparent about what's going on for me right now. I'm "in it" as they say, and feel completely overwhelmed by it. This is the revelation project after all so I may as well reveal what is being revealed.
I do believe that what gets revealed, can heal.

WNR Professors honored
Seven CALS faculty members joined the ranks of colleagues who have earned the named professorship, established 65 years ago by William Neal Reynolds, the longtime president and board chair of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
Seven CALS faculty members joined the ranks of colleagues who have earned the named professorship, established 65 years ago by William Neal Reynolds, the longtime president and board chair of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
This year's gala theme was Stop and Smell the Roses, in commemoration of the completion of the Finley-Nottingham Rose Garden, which has been moved and enlarged.
Meeting the looming global food crisis is the issue at hand as CALS co-hosts the 2014 North Carolina Agriculture and Biotechnology Summit.
In this second annual bus tour, Linton and his department heads led a two-day exploration of North Carolina's piedmont region.
We work hard to build our programs, our people and our partnerships every day. Join us for a look at points of pride and at goals that are already becoming accomplishments.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at N.C. State University has announced leadership changes in six of its departments, with the appointments of three new department heads and three interim department heads.
Forget the vernal equinox. For multitudes of gardening enthusiasts, the true first day of spring is the day of the annual Gala in the Garden at N.C. State University's JC Raulston Arboretum. This year the theme of the May 4 gala was "Celebrating North Carolina," so the emphasis was on the state's finest food, botanicals, products and people.
Developed as part of CALS' strategic planning process, the Dean's Enrichment Grants Program is an internal request for proposals to support people, programs and partnerships in the College.
Leaders representing 50 of the state's commodity groups and agriculturally related organizations were in attendance March 11 at a meeting hosted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. One of the main objectives for the meeting was to strengthen relationships and identify collaborative ways to meet the needs of the state, nation and world.
Among the news we bring in this Winter 2014 issue of Perspectives is an article on the fall celebration of the centennial of the Extension and Community Association (ECA). This year, the celebration continues as the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service officially turns 100 on May 8: It was founded in 1914, in conjunction with the national […]

Despite these startling statistics and the highly publicized outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli found in Food and Drug Administration-regulated foods such as peanuts, spinach, sprouts and other products, the best that Congress can come up with is a bill that calls for high-risk food facilities to be inspected every six to 18 months.
Furthermore, this bill -- the Food Safety and Enhancement Act of 2009 -- fails to give mandatory recall power to the FDA for all of the contaminated foods that they regulate.
The bill is a step in the right direction, but it falls far short of measures needed to protect Americans. We continue to rely on a 1940s food-safety system to regulate a 21st-century food supply.
We went out for lunch in 2003 expecting to enjoy a nice meal. Instead, we contracted a food-borne illness that has permanently altered our lives. It turned out that the imported raw green onions in the salsa we had eaten were contaminated with the Hepatitis A virus.
A few weeks after our lunch, Linda developed flu-like symptoms. Her entire body hurt and she was extremely tired but we thought it was simply the flu. Then Rich came home with similar symptoms and both of us developed severe back pains with spasms. Rich's condition rapidly spiraled downward and at the hospital he was diagnosed with Hepatitis A, treated for dehydration and released.
A few days later, he was incoherent and unable to get out of bed. Back at the hospital, our nightmare worsened. We found out that Rich had developed fulminant Hepatitis A, a rare, but devastating condition that destroys the liver. We were told that it could be mere hours before his liver shut down completely.
At age 57, Rich needed a liver transplant and after many frantic hours, a match was found. Although his transplant was successful, there were numerous complications, including cardiac arrest. We cannot express how traumatic this illness has been. Rich nearly lost his life and will have to take anti-rejection and numerous other drugs for the rest of his life; all of which carry their own risks.
As advocates for food safety and members of Safe Tables Our Priority (S.T.O.P.), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing illness and death from food-borne pathogens, we urge our Pennsylvania members of Congress to strengthen the Food Safety Act so that fewer Americans will be subjected to the ordeal that we went through. Here's how:
First, high-risk food facilities regulated by the FDA must be inspected at least monthly, and plants that slaughter and/or process meat products must be inspected continuously as they do at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Second, FDA inspections must be thorough. This means the bill must require the FDA to rank hazards in the foods they regulate and set performance standards based on microbial testing.
Third, the bill needs to require that test results revealing contamination be promptly reported to the FDA. This is not what currently occurs, as is evident by the recent salmonella outbreak from Peanut Corporation of America products. PCA continued to ship potentially deadly food into the marketplace despite repeatedly finding contamination.
Fourth, enforcement takes money, and this means that the facility registration fees stipulated in the legislation must be raised.
Finally, Congress should block any attempts by food industry lobbyists to eliminate civil penalties for violations. The ability to impose tough penalties will protect consumers by serving as a deterrent.
We all want to protect our families from harm -- and that includes harmful foods. It is not acceptable for FDA-regulated foods to receive such low federal funding levels and such little inspection. We want our congressional representatives to correct this.
Rich and Linda Miller are members of Safe Tables Our Priority (S.T.O.P.), www.safetables.org. They live in Beaver.
Editor's note: On July 29, The Food Safety and Enhancement Act (H.R. 2749) was not taken up for consideration in the House of Representatives. The fate of the bill remains in doubt.

Last week we focused on five can't-miss earnings reports. This week, we're going to turn the tables back to the Food and Drug Administration and focus on a PDUFA decision and an FDA panel review slated for this week.
Veloci-Raptor time?
First up is Raptor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RPTP ) with Procysbi (previously known as RP-103), its oral delayed and extended-release medication to treat nephropathic cystinosis. In trials, Procysbi proved to be non-inferior to the only other FDA-approved treatment for nephropathic cystinosis, known as Cystagon from Mylan (NASDAQ: MYL ) .
As my Foolish colleague Keith Speights has already pointed out, both Procysbi and Cystagon are two different forms of cysteamine bitartate. However, Cystagon comes with the need to be taken four times daily (meaning sleep schedules can and will get interrupted) and has a slew of other potential side effects. Procysbi, on the other hand, needs only to be taken twice daily and has milder side effects.
From an ease-of-use standpoint, the drug looks like a slam-dunk for an approval, but the FDA will have to be able to determine that the side effects are diminutive compared to the benefits Procysbi can deliver. If Raptor can get Procysbi approved it would give the company its first revenue generating drug, as well as peak sales potential in the U.S. of $60 million according to JMP Securities. This PDUFA decisions has already been pushed back 90 days to review additional data, so this will certainly be a name to watch on Tuesday.
Will AVEO be on target?
The other FDA decision that should have the attention of biotech investors this week is AVEO Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: AVEO ) Tivozanib, which is set to go before the FDA's review panel on Thursday.
Tivozanib is an oral, once-daily treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma that works by blocking three VEGR-receptors that are critical for blood vessel growth development for solid renal cell tumors, and is being targeted as a first-line treatment. In trials, AVEO and its partner Astellas Pharma went head-to-head against Onyx Pharmaceuticals' (UNKNOWN: ONXX.DL ) Nexavar and delivered good, but not groundbreaking, results. In its TIVO-1 study, released last year, Tivozanib met its primary progress-free survival endpoint and delivered a median PFS of 11.9 months compared with the median PFS of just 9.1 months for Nexavar. The difference was even more pronounced in treatment-naive patients where the PFS difference grew to 12.7 months as compared to 9.1 months for Nexavar. However, overall survival rates for AVEO's drug actually were slightly lower than Nexavar over the course of the study.
Regardless of what the FDA panel has to say about Tivozanib, it could be an uphill struggle given that seven drugs are currently approved by the FDA to treat renal cell carcinoma. In addition to the aforementioned Nexavar, Pfizer's (NYSE: PFE ) Sutent is a lead drug in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, delivering $1.24 billion in sales -- a 9% year-over-year increase -- in 2012.Even if Tivozanib makes it through the gauntlet, it could have a hard time swaying physicians away from these two commonly prescribed medications.
While you can certainly make huge gains in biotech and pharmaceuticals, the best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Churn my stomach? Don't be silly.
A stomach churn sounds lovely compared to what happened when I read your update. I fuckin' CUT OUT MY UTERUS WITH A JACK-O-LANTERN CARVER. Because if "appreciating this" is what happens when you become a parent, you can count me out.
I didn't think I was going to have to do this, but let's add these words to the list of shit I NEVER ever EVER want to see in my update feed again:
- runny poop
- peed out her butt
- tear
- yeast infection
- butt threw up
- little red bumps (in reference to vaginas)
Can moms should have their own Facebook now? They're ruining ours.
Thanks for sending, V. I guess.

Jury to begin deliberations in Pittsburgh cops' trial
PITTSBURGH -- Jurors are scheduled to begin deliberations in the case of a young black man who accuses three white Pittsburgh police officers of wrongfully arresting and beating him.
Jurors were sent home Thursday after closing arguments, and will begin deliberations this morning.
Attorneys for Jordan Miles and officers Richard Ewing, David Sisak and Michael Saldutte disagree on almost everything, including who was really the victim in January 2010. Miles was 18 at the time.
Another jury two years ago rejected Miles' claims that officers maliciously prosecuted him by filing assault, resisting arrest and other charges that were later dismissed.
But that panel deadlocked on whether Miles was wrongfully arrested and whether police used excessive force, resulting in the retrial that began more than two weeks ago.

"The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities."

When Irina Plotnikova and her husband, Sergey, immigrated to South Williamsport from Russia in 2003, she did not know any English.
She spent six months isolated in their home while he worked because she was intimidated not being able to communicate. She could not do the things that most people take for granted. Irina could not buy groceries, dial a telephone, drive a car, make a doctor's appointment or follow the plot of a simple TV program.
"I could not read, write or speak any English," Irina said recently. "I felt helpless and it was scary."
Article Photos
Irina Plotnikova, left, with The Learning Center teacher Stacey Noltee.
Then, Irina heard about The Learning Center, a program of the James V. Brown Library. The Learning Center offers classes and tutoring to adults who want to improve their reading, writing and math skills.
"I started taking the English Language Learning Classes three or four times a week," Irina said. "I was uncomfortable for the first few months. And sometimes I wanted to quit because I didn't understand. My husband was very supportive and encouraged me to keep going and to just listen if nothing else."
Sergey is a software engineer who learned English as a second language while the couple still was in Russia.
"Everyone was so patient at The Learning Center. There were other immigrants in the class from Turkey, China, Belgium, Greece, Mexico, and The Philippines. The teachers are very kind," Irina explained.
"It took me a long time to start to build my confidence, probably about a year or a year and a half," Irina said. "It was a slow and gradual process, but I kept at it and the teachers and tutors were so nice. My first instructor was Rosa Fry. She helped me tremendously when I was too shy to ask for help. Rosa helped me find a pediatrician and a preschool for our daughter, Anna, who was 4 years old when we came to America.
"The Learning Center not only taught me English, but also how to adapt to the local community and about American customs," Irina added.
Once Irina became more comfortable with English, she began additional classes at The Learning Center, including studying for her GED and participating in parenting classes. She also obtained her driver's license in 2005.
"We know that education is vital to employment and income. We offer, in addition to adult education and GED programs, a family literacy program, which is designed to give families an opportunity to share reading and fun-related activities together while participating in adult education and job skills training," said Linda Herr of The Learning Center. "Parents with educational goals and a child up to 8 years old can enroll in the family literacy program.
"With help from United Way, we are able to offer job skills training, tutoring, computer classes, and special events at no cost to program participants," Herr added. "We see a real need in our community for these services and we are appreciative United Way sees the need also and helps us help others. Together we are making positive changes in Lycoming County by giving people the tools they need to attain better employment."
Through its annual funds distribution process determined by community volunteers, United Way allocated $25,000 to The Learning Center.
"We are pleased to be able to fund The Learning Center because the programs it offers make a real difference in the lives of the students, their families (including future generations) and the local work force," said Kate Pacacha, director of resource development and communications at United Way.
In Russia, Irina attended medical college and was a mid-wife. Recently she became a volunteer at Susquehanna Health and plans to earn her degree and work in the medical field again.
For more information on The Learning Center, call 321-0200 or visit www.lycolearns.org.

I must have misjudged the sleeve length on the models, and yes I do have short arms, but this is ridiculously too long, like 7 inches too long! Have to return it now. Honestly, I'm not even that crazy about the fabric, so I don't think I would have liked it even if the proportions worked. The inside of the fabric is a bit nubby/textured.

I ordered S (I'm 5'' 10 and 62kg), I usually get M AP jumpers but took the advice to go a size down. Its very fitted, not the look I wanted. I am going to exchange it for a M so its slightly oversized.

Most amazing piece of clothing EVAR. I purchased the faded black, dark ash, and zinc, and I love them all. It's insanely comfy and really cute too! Just baggy enough :)
I'm about 5'5" and the small fits perfect.

I have this in Martini Blue/Dark Ash. It is amazing! I wear it almost every week. If you would like it to fit slouchy like the model I recommend ordering a size larger. I normally wear a small in unisex sizes and ordered a medium and it fits perfectly.

I ordered the Martini Blue / Dark Ash in an XS (my normal size in AA unisex stuff) expecting it to fit like the model. Sadly, it did not. It was actually pretty tight around my bust. If you want that cute slouchy look, order a size up!

oh how i love french terry. this sweatshirt is super soft and comfortable. i'm usually a size xs in unisex items, but i sized up to a size s for length. the xs isn't incredibly short, but if you have an long torso (like me) you might want to go up a size. regardless, it's a great piece.

Nice top, I am 5ft 6 weighing 59kgs and bought the XS, it fits perfectly but a little shorter than I was expecting in the body, I do have broad shoulders and long arms so this may be why but this is what you would call the perfect sweatshirt. Am going to order more but will take the size small just for the length.

I love this sweatshirt. It's the perfect kicking around at home to looking mysteriously hot on the street item. I'm 5'4" 140 pounds and initially got the unisex S, I liked the bagginess, but I wanted it to come down a little further on my thighs, so ended up with the M, which I love. This sweatshirt has a mysterious perfection. Got it in Zinc, which is like another reviewer said, a lot like the triblend gray, which I also love. A+!

i'm 5"3' and weigh around 115 lbs, and I bought this in an xs. I'm thinking about exchanging for a S just because it's pretty short in length, but it's so comfortable and has a really nice loose fit. one of my first sweaters from AA and definitely won't be my last :)

Can this be worn with leggings? What size should I get in order for it to be long enough, but not too huge on the top? I see that one of the reviewers below said that this was too short...????

I saw the "zinc" color in the store, and it basically looks like the tri-blend athletic grey raglan. Nothing special. Just some big old baggy sweatshirt that looks like your boyfriend's.

The Pakistan Taliban said it killed 10 foreign mountain climbers, including one American, in retaliation for a U.S. drone strike that killed a deputy leader last month.
About 15 terrorists disguised as policeman attacked the base camp at Nanja Parbat, the ninth highest mountain the world.
Some mountain climbers managed to escape, but the rest were shot dead.
The tourist area of Pakistan is far from the Taliban's strongholds near the Afghan border and usually does not suffer terror attacks.
A spokesman for the terror group said they chose to attack foreign visitors to influence world powers to pressure the United States to stop drone attacks.

MARTINSBURG - Berkeley Medical Center is facing a unique situation, with three sets of twins housed in the birthing center with a fourth set expected Friday.
All in good health, three sets of twins and their moms are currently residing in the obstetric unit and neonatal intensive care unit, boosting the number of twins born at the center to an unusually high number.
"I don't think we've ever had three sets of twins at the same time before. Last year, we had eight sets of twins born here, and this year we've already had 11," said Teresa McCabe, vice president marketing and development for Berkeley Medical Center.

First-time mom Cortney Kesecker holds her twin girls Reilly, left, and Halia, right. Kesecker's children are one of three sets of twins currently at Berkeley Medical Center, helping set a record number of twins born at the hospital.
After spending nearly a month in Berkeley Medical Center's neonatal intensive care unit, twin girls Illiana, left, and Isaura, right, will be going home today with mom Romina Reyes and older brother Isaias.
Newborn twins Carbon, left, and Parker, right, nap cozily together and will soon be released from Berkeley Medical Center with mom Nikki Sample.
Girls Illiana and Isaura Gonzalez-Reyes were the first of the current trio born July 24 to Romina Reyes. The girls were born premature, weighing 3.5 and 3.8 pounds, and have resided in the neonatal intensive care unit since their birth.
With the girls now in good health, Reyes is excited and anxious to be able to bring them home for the first time today to meet friends and family. Big brother Isaias is also excited to bring his new sisters home, although he said he is unsure about having future baby-sitting duty.
"Everybody's been waiting to meet them. I'm pretty excited with the whole experience I'm going to be dealing with. I've dealt with one, but having two is completely different," Reyes said.
Born Sunday, boys Carbon and Parker Roberts, weighing 4.12 pounds and 4.8 pounds, made a quiet entry into the world, born to Nikki Sample and Will Roberts.
When first learning that she was going to have twins, Sample said she cried in happiness, feeling blessed by God to be having two children. In choosing their names, Sample said she and Roberts wanted to select names that are uncommon.
"We read in a baby book that the more unique a name, the more they blossom, whether it be in their social environment or at school or in life in general, because they stand out," Sample said.
Since the babies' birth, Sample said she can already see a special bond between the boys and is looking forward to watching that bond develop as they grow.
"They're not very fussy, but when they get fussy, all you have to do is lay them next to one another, whether it's in a bed or in the crib, and it's instant tranquility. They can feel each other and they instantly just go tranquil, because they're so used to being with one another in the womb," Sample said.
Girls Reilly and Halia Kesecker were the third set of twins born recently at Berkeley Medical Center, coming into the world Monday.
With twin births prevalent in both sides of the babies' families, mom Cortney Kesecker was not surprised to learn that she would be having twins. Reilly and Halia are Kesecker's first kids, and the family is expected to be released from the hospital today.
Tina Aaron, a certified registered nurse with Berkeley Medical Center, said it is common for women carrying twins to delivery early, with the traditional carry period around 35 weeks. A baby is considered premature if it is born before a 37-week gestation period.
With twin births, the delivery will often take place in an operating room, even if both babies are healthy and in the correct position, in anticipation of any complications. All three mothers had cesarean sections to deliver either one or both of their children.
With Berkeley Medical Center's new neonatal intensive care unit to open on the eight floor in September, the hospital will be able to accept babies born as early as 32 weeks. A public open house for the new unit will be held Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 4 p.m.

Today, Chicago along with most of the Midwest is sitting in the midst of the worst blizzard to cross through the area this winter. This potentially historic blizzard has me along with many other renters spending the day hiding from the chilling gusts and swirling snow outside. However, as this blizzard rages on and many face being snowed in or losing power, a few of those renters will realize that they may not be as prepared for this harsh weather as they thought.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare your apartment for harsh weather.
- Create an Emergency Kit: Be sure that you have an emergency kit ready with essential items, such as a flashlight, clean water, candles, blankets, etc.
- Prepare for Loss of Power: Should you lose power, it will be essential that you have extra blankets to keep warm as well as candles for a light source.
- Stock up on Foodstuffs: If you do get snowed in, you will need enough food to last you until the blizzard ends. You will want to make sure that you have enough nonperishable items to make sure that you still have food to eat without having to prepare it.
- Assemble an Emergency Contact List: In case you are in need of any kind of assistance, create a list of emergency contact numbers including your electric and gas companies as well as the local police and your emergency maintenance contact.
- Buy Essential Portables: In the event that the power does go out, you will need a portable radio and a charged cell phone to stay up-to-date on current updates and to call out in case of emergency.
Hopefully, you will not need any of these items as the blizzard continues on and eventually dissipates, but in this case, its better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and stay safe out there! What other essentials did you pick up for the extreme winter weather?

all so adorable!!!ReplyDelete
Even if you might not think the pictures are perfect, they are pretty darn cute! And I was just thinking your oldest looked like he was about to lose a tooth.ReplyDelete
Oh, I feel your pain. Trying to get a picture of all of us at the strawberry farm this weekend was hilarious!!! One day they will all look up...but then my grand kids will be looking away:)ReplyDelete
You got some beautiful natural shots. I have trouble getting pictures of two kids. I can't imagine trying with six :o)ReplyDelete
I feel this way taking a picture of just my two let alone a family picture! It is hard to get a good one of everyone looking in the general direction of the camera and smiling too? That is too much to ask. Ha!ReplyDelete
Have a great week.
Shoot, it's real life! Those are the best! Because if all your children were looking perfectly, we would think something was wrong with them ;)ReplyDelete
Your photos look great.. even if not everyone is looking at the camera! Looks like they were having too much fun to stop for pictures! :)ReplyDelete
oh em geeeee, they are so cute! Girl, you are doing good! Keeping them all on the bed at the same time seems like wonder woman to me!ReplyDelete
My boys are anxiously waiting to lose a tooth. They watched a video on YouTube of a boy pulling his tooth out by tying to a nerf dart and then shooting it across the room. Before that we went so far as to promise the older brother $5 if he pulled out younger brothers tooth, which already had a dental floss lasso tied around it. Younger brother hid in the bathroom until he finally got the courage to pull it himself. Good luck!ReplyDelete
I HATED pulling out my teeth! It always ended up with me screaming and crying while my parents pulled it out (and it never even hurt! HAHA)ReplyDelete
Your kids are SO dang adorable! :)
I *love* these pictures. They describe your childrens personalities perfectly. And I love Elsa's fro! Beautiful! :)ReplyDelete
Oh, and also... I love how Elsa is looking in EVERY shot. She knows how to cooperate with a camera! ;)ReplyDelete
They're still adorably cute photos! And great memories of this stage of life! :)ReplyDelete
They are absolutely precious! :)ReplyDelete
adorable pics...all of them :)ReplyDelete

Kohen has been rocking some sweet hair in the last few blogposts. love it!ReplyDelete

This sounds like such an intriguing challenge - to get all 6 kids to look at the camera for a picture! Every picture is adorable though, regardless of who is looking!! So darn cute!! xoxoReplyDelete
Nanny McFee hahahahaReplyDelete
When we take group photos of all the grandkids we love the outtakes the best. I think the one where Olive is looking up is the best except for someone's head, hah. Love the tummy pictures. Next time use a plain white blanket, hah. They are all so cute. You are so blessed.ReplyDelete
well they certainly ARE cute! every last one of them! love Milo's hair long by the way, super cute! and Kohen's too! and ELsa's fro is awesome!!!! I was wondering which of the kids elsa is bonded with the most? is it milo since they are the same age ? or hadley because they are both girls? adorable kiddos!ReplyDelete
you have a beautiful life. these babies are amazing.ReplyDelete
i love these photos! that quilt is awesome! hilarious about nanny mcphee!!!ReplyDelete
So close in one of them! You do have some seriously adorable children though! :DReplyDelete
i can't stop laughing at the FRO comment.ReplyDelete
Good work. I get frustrated with my two girls! And I give the prize of being helpful in making it happen to Elsa and Milo! Looking at the camera with smiles in place. Well done.ReplyDelete
I love these! I've resorted to putting a stuffed animal on my head so they all look at me when I take photos, it works!ReplyDelete
I love your blog...and these pics! Elsa's 'fro is the bomb (I secretly, truly wish I had one myself). Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
beautiful kids :)ReplyDelete
I love these photos. Sometimes I like the candid ones better than the ones that aren't put together and perfect:)ReplyDelete
this is too precious. love!ReplyDelete
Can I just say it is SHOCKING how fast your kids' hair grows??!! I'm always sad when they get it all chopped off but then 2 posts later its back! No wonder you cut it all off every now and then! So adorable.ReplyDelete
Coming from a mom who's oldest son didn't get his first haircut until he was 2 1/2!!
Beautiful family!ReplyDelete
Your family and the family antics you share on the blog make me so happy and I often find myself laughing out loud. You kinda inspire me to have a big loving family of my own. We just started with our own Olive-lookin', half asian lil dude. I know you sometimes share the grief you get about having a big family... I hope you know that some of us out here are beyond impressed (the messes and all) and happy to know that someone out there is raising great little people.ReplyDelete

Gina Carano on the red carpet at hospital benefit
Gina Carano arrives at the 27th Anniversary Sports Spectacular benefiting Cedars-Sinai Medical Genetics Institute at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on May 20, 2012 in Century City, California.
UG collectively hopes for a stiff breeze.
Carano has been cast in In the Blood, an action thriller being directed by John Stockwell (Into the Blue, Blue Crush). The film is set in motion when a husband disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean with his wife, played by Carano. The grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men whom she believes kidnapped and killed him. "This role will showcase not only Gina's fighting skills, but also her acting abilities as her character struggles to reign in her violent past," Stockwell said.
In addition, Carano is in negotiations for a role in the sixth installment of the popular Fast & Furious franchise.

BATAVIA– Batavia Downs Gaming is the new name for the pioneer trotting track better known for its video lottery terminals.
The name change – from casino to gaming – is required under the pact reached by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the Seneca Nation that forbids racetracks to use casino where the Indians have exclusive rights to gaming. Western New York has three full-fledged Seneca casinos.
Buffalo Raceway and the Finger Lakes thoroughbred track cannot use casino although the six other racinos in the state can.
Erasing the banned work from thousands of items – billboards, flags fluttering over the entrance, promotional items and newspaper and TV advertising – will take some time and the state wants it done quickly to placate the Senecas after years of fruitless discussions over sharing their casino revenues.
The Downs installed VLTs, similar to slot machines, eight years ago and later added the name casino, which is not correct since casinos have table games like poker and blackjack, which are not available at the Downs.

We also replaced an old, damaged transmission cable. As a result our FM signal is clearer and stronger than ever.

The West New York Board of Education will become an elected board after the town's voters overwhelmingly voted for change yesterday.
The decision by the voters was a clear blow to West New York Mayor Felix Roque, who previously had the power to appoint school board members.
"It's a landslide — bigger than we expected," said Frank Ferreiro, whose Residents for a Better West New York had gathered the petition signatures to put the question on the ballot. "This says that (Roque) has lost a lot of support. It has taken a $130 million (school) budget away from him. That's a huge hit."
West New York's school board currently consists of seven members who are appointed by the administration. In April, five members will be elected — three terms that are expiring and two new members that will bring the board membership to nine.
"The people have spoken," said Freeholder Jose Munoz. "The message is clear."
Both Ferreira and Munoz said a state Department of Education report released in April that was extremely critical of Roque played a role in the huge victory. The report said the mayor had exerted undue influence in the school district and had a role in hiring and firing staff members.

We sure wish we could have been in Trussville, Saturday. We imagine the noise made by the Southern Stangs at Walker Dyno Tune might have been heard all the way into Birmingham. Philippe Cyr of Southern Stangs says the 13 Mustangs that participated made a total of almost 4,800 horsepower. Philippe's 2008 supercharged GT500 added a whopping 626 horses to the total.
Continue reading to see several videos of cars on the dyno as well as more photos from the event and a list of the cars in attendance with their dyno results. Click on photos to see much larger images, and before you play the movies, check your computer's volume. Those cars are loud.
Philipe says in addition to the cars lined up for their dyno run, a few Dixie Muscle Car members dropped by as well. It sounds like they had a great time.
"We would like to thank Blake Walker at Walker Dyno for hosting our event, without his assistance, we could not have made this happen," Philippe tells us in an e-mail. "Blake is a great person and really made it enjoyable for everyone. He also helped out tweeking the tune on some of our cars to run better.
Numbers are SAE corrected. Horesepower/Torque
2005 Saleen Mustang.... 288/302
2006 Mustang GT w/Roushcharger.... 408/376
1985 Mustang GT.... 227/280
2003 Cobra.... 503/447
2007 Mustang GT w/Roushcharger.... 331/334 (ignition problems)
2006 Roush Mustang.... 296/313
2006 Saleen Supercharged Mustang.... 392/378 (fuel flow problems)
2001 Mustang GT.... 231/272
2005 Roush Mustang.... 298/314
1995 Mustang GT w/supercharger.... 271/348 (new installation tune)
1999 Mustang GT w/supercharger.... 394/382
"All of the cars that participated in the event are normally driven daily street legal cars," Philippe says. "The numbers produced were not bad for 281, 302, and 330 cubic inch motors. There were no motors in excess of 330 cubic inches."
Thanks for the report, Philippe! We look forward to hearing what y'all are doing this coming weekend.

This happens every so often and it's a pain. A single game finally pushing me over the edge into wanting a new system. This last week, Ni No Kuni has done just that.
I've been a huge Level-5 fan for years and absolutely love Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, and Rogue Galaxy. I was so disappointed when the canceled True Fantasy Live Online and I've been hoping they would release something new that isn't a puzzle game for years (as I hate the Professor Layton games)...
...And then they teamed up with Studio Ghibli, one of my favorite animation studios, to make a game! But it's a PS3 exclusive!? Nooo! *screams into the void*
...Now I find that I need to buy a PS3. *sighs* I was holding out for a Final Fantasy VII remake but am starting to doubt, this late in the system's life cycle, that it'll happen. I'll have to keep an eye on the prices until I have some money. I wonder how hard it is to find one of the PlayStation 2-compatable models anymore?
At least there are quite a few games for the system I've been wanting to play and would finally be able to pick up such as all those HD remakes, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain, the InFamous games, Journey, Katamari Forever, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, Lair, LittleBigPlanet, MGS4, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, The Last Guardian (if it ever comes out), and the Uncharted games. I'm sure there are a few I've forgotten too.
That is all.
