A Monroe County couple who were married for 73 years died within a day of each other.
Milan couple Emil Schultz, 94, and his 92-year-old wife Genevieve were always together; when he went out for business calls, she came along, recalls Marvin Schultz, their oldest son.
October 30, 2008: WOODTV.com: Emil collapsed and was hospitalized Oct. 21 after his blood sugar level spiked. Over the next few days, Genevieve and other family members spent hours at his bedside at an Ann Arbor hospital _ and were told by doctors that Emil had just days to live.
Marvin drove his mother home Oct. 26, came back the next morning when a phone call went unanswered and found her in the bathroom, dead of a heart attack. Marvin said he thought the idea of being without her life partner was too much for his mother.
"I think it broke her heart," he said.
Relatives were starting to make funeral arrangements for Genevieve when Emil died Sunday morning. He hadn't been told of his wife's death, but some family members suggested that he somehow knew.
The Schultz's were buried side-by-side.

We know that eating less and moving more are key components of successful weight loss, but many of us don't realize just how much our sleep patterns can directly impact our waistlines as well.
Researchers have found that we eat more when we're sleep deprived – as much as 549 extra calories a day. That's probably because skimping on sleep increases levels of a hunger hormone called grehlin that can increase our appetite and cravings for carb-rich foods.
Even when we do cut back on calories, sleep deprivation may still inhibit our ability to lose weight. One study tracked participants who cut their calorie intake by 680 calories a day; one group slept 8.5 hours a night, while the other group was restricted to just 5.5 hours a night. After two weeks, the sleep-deprived group had lost 55 percent less body fat and 60 percent more lean body mass.
Another recent study found that people who sleep less are more likely to consume high-calorie foods, get more of their calories from refined carbs, and eat fewer vegetables and fruits.
To make matters worse, the physiological symptoms of fatigue and hunger can feel the same. So if we're tired and sleep deprived, it can be easy to reach for a calorie-rich meal or snack in hopes of an energy boost, when we really just need more Z's.
And weight isn't the only thing that's negatively affected by poor sleep habits. Chronic sleep deprivation is also linked to an increased incidence of depression, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
So clearly sufficient sleep is not a luxury – it's a necessity.
Problem is, we're a sleep-deprived nation. More than one-quarter of Americans report not getting enough sleep, according to the latest stats by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The reasons are many: Worry, stress, never-ending workloads, smartphones that allow us to stay connected 24/7. Turning to prescription meds and sleeping pills might even aggravate the problem: Ambien, by the way, is linked to semi-conscious night-eating, often with no recollection of it the following day, which only serves to worsen any weight-related woes.
Instead, start by taking a closer look at why you're short on sleep, and take the necessary steps to modify your behaviors and sleeping habits.
Try incorporating these eight strategies for a better night's sleep.
Set a schedule. Aim to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day, trying to stay consistent even on weekends. This is one of the biggest challenges for me, sleep-wise; I've found that setting an alarm for 9 p.m. each evening helps, by serving as a reminder to start winding down and get ready for bed.
Time your workouts right. Regular exercise (150 minutes a week) has been shown to improve sleep quality by 65 percent, but if it's too close to bedtime, it may interfere with sleep. Sleep experts typically recommend exercising at least three hours before bedtime to allow enough time for your body temperature to come down (cooler body temperatures are linked with falling asleep).
Unplug. Minimize screen time, particularly in the hours before bedtime. The artificial light can interfere with our body's production of melatonin, a hormone (secreted especially in response to darkness) that helps to regulate our sleep patterns.
Reconsider that nightcap. One drink with dinner is probably fine for most, but keep in mind that while alcohol may help you fall asleep, it can interfere with the quality of sleep that your body is getting.
Ease up on caffeine. Limit your intake to not more than 300 milligrams daily, the equivalent of about three cups of regular brewed coffee, and try not to consume caffeine after 2 p.m.
Avoid large meals before bedtime.
But don't go to bed hungry. Going to bed with a growling stomach/hunger pangs can make it hard to fall asleep as well. To reap maximum benefits of tryptophan, an amino acid that can help induce sleepiness, the best nighttime snack is one that contains a blend of carbs and protein: Peanut butter spread onto whole grain toast, a carton of plain lowfat Greek yogurt topped with a bit of fiber-rich cereal, or a few whole grain crackers with thinly-sliced cheese.
Supplement wisely. Anecdotally, many of my clients have found that taking multivitamins close to bedtime can make it harder to fall asleep, possibly because of the B vitamins that most contain. Taking 500 mg of magnesium at bedtime may help with falling asleep and staying asleep.
Other supplements that may be effective in improving sleep quality and sleep patterns include melatonin (0.3 to 5 mg once daily at bedtime), or a combination of lemon balm extract (80 mg) and valerian root extract (160 mg) three times daily. As always, check with your physician or pharmacist before beginning any new supplement regime.Molly Kimball is a registered dietitian in New Orleans.

Use the following soccer (football) drill and coaching tips to show attackers how to get the better of defenders by keeping on the move in and around the penalty area.
It's important to show your attackers that by moving they can open up space behind the defenders to score goals. But they cannot just move anywhere.
Key soccer coaching points
- Sometimes it is hard for an attacker to know where to move to but if you show them the crescent-shaped moves in this soccer drill they will always have somewhere to go.
- Moving in this way will cause defenders to leave space at the back so that the attackers can sprint into the penalty area as soon as their midfield team-mates have played a through ball.
- Tell your attackers they should move towards their midfield in this soccer drill, then turn and circle back into the penalty area to latch onto a through pass.
- Coach midfielders to pass into space so the attackers have something to run on to.
Soccer drill to get teams using this tactic
You can practise this soccer (football) tactic by standing on the centre circle and playing balls beyond the defenders into space behind them. Get your attackers to familiarise themselves with dragging the defenders out of the area to give themselves space to run into.
Get more soccer (football) tips like these in my coaching publication Soccer Coach Weekly, which contains advice on how to be a better coach. Click here to find out more.

Geddes, NY - Hard rock fans did get a loud start to the holiday weekend with the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family BBQ Saturday at the state fairgrounds' Chevy Court.
But police say a few people at the event got a little too rowdy.
As bands rocked out, about a dozen small scuffles broke out throughout the day, Onondaga County Sheriff's Sgt. Richard McCarron said. No one was seriously injured, and Chestnut Street Security, a private security firm at the event, handled most of the scuffles and other problems.
Around 4:20 p.m., security officers escorted 22-year-old Ashley M. Hutchins, of 7512 Railroad St., Lowville, out of Chevy Court after she got into a fight with another woman near a mosh pit. Neither woman was injured, McCarron said.
After security escorted Hutchins -- who was intoxicated -- outside the gate, McCarron said, the woman tried to get back in, yelling and threatening people.
Hutchins is accused of taking a swing at a security officer, but not striking anyone, McCarron said.
When McCarron handcuffed Hutchins, McCarron said Hutchins "tried to pull away, screaming, yelling and kicking at us. It was so fruitless. It was the evil of booze."
Hutchins was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and trespass and disorderly conduct, both violations. She was sent to the Onondaga County Justice Center, pending arraignment in Geddes Town Court.
Sheriff's deputies also charged another patron at the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family BBQ with harassment, a violation, after that person was seen fighting with another patron. That person's name was not immediately available.
Geddes police also charged a man, whose name also was not immediately available, with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. The man is accused of biting another man's hand, biting a chunk of his skin off, McCarron said. The other man who was bitten had minor injuries, and was evaluated at the scene, but refused to go to the hospital, McCarron said.
The fairgrounds were still buzzing today with TK99's Blues, Brews and BBQ, but on a much quieter note.
National and local bands will perform for free at Chevy Court.
The Chris Terra Band started the music at 2 p.m. today, followed by The Fabulous Ripcords and The Super Delinquents.
The national portion of the show starts with Coco Montoya at 5:30 p.m., followed by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The Max Weinberg Experience will close out the day, starting its set around 8:55 p.m.
McCarron said the crowds today have been more orderly.
Also at the fairgrounds today, thousands are expected to gather for the annual watchfire ceremony and ride. Riders will start to line up at 6:30 p.m. near the watchfire, across from Gate 7 at the fairgrounds. The watchfire ceremony, which starts at dusk, honors veterans and provides an opportunity to legally retire flags.

The North Atlantic right whale scientists shot with sedatives last month so they could untangle it from fishing ropes has been found dead off the coast of Florida, the Associated Press reported Monday.
Wildlife experts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are still conducting tests to determine 2-year-old female's cause of death, but initial results from a necropsy on Thursday indicate that the whale had rope deeply lodged in its mouth. This probably prevented it from feeding, scientists say.
NOAA spokeswoman Karrie Carnes says it appears that, unable to eat, the malnourished whale was easy prey for sharks.
Scientists found the whale wrapped in 50 feet of fishing rope last month off the coast of Florida.
Following the whale in a small vessel, the team shot it with sedatives from a dart gun so they could pull closer to untangle the ropes and attach a satellite monitor.
It was only the second time that drugging has been used on a free-swimming whale.
Carnes says the sedatives do not appear to have played a part in the whale's death.

UNEP together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) modified a tool used in sustainable development planning - the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) approach - by integrating disaster sensitivities into the analytical framework. The approach was pilot tested in 2010-2011 in Sri Lanka to establish a development framework for the Northern Province. Through the engagement of national and local government agencies, universities, private sector and the general public, the Integrated Strategic Environmental Assessment (ISEA) mapped out the distribution of space and resources available for development with minimum environment and disaster constraints (the so-called "Opportunity Map"). This led to a number of infrastructure plans and proposed developments being improved, and the approach being endorsed politically at the highest level as a primary regional area development tool.
The case of Sri Lanka illustrated how an ISEA approach can enable countries in other post-crisis contexts to promote integrated area development that is both sustainable and disaster-resilient. UNEP is planning to build on the Sri Lanka experience and work together with UNDP in replicating the ISEA approach in other countries in 2014.

JACKSON, MI – Booking Florida Georgia Line, one of the hottest bands in country music, was quite a get for the Hillsdale County Fair.
The process of scheduling concerts begins months in advance, as did Hillsdale County Fair Manager Scott Dow's efforts to book Florida Georgia Line, long before the band's "Cruise" spent 20 straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
In other words, Dow got a bargain, and at $25 a ticket, fans may have, too.
Florida Georgia Line joins Vince Gill – to call Gill a country legend isn't far-fetched, and he's at least bankable – as the two grandstand entertainment acts at the Hillsdale County Fair, which will be Sept. 22-28.
Meanwhile, Jackson County Fair Operations Manager Denise Owens also got aggressive this year by booking hot country act the Band Perry and established, yet still relevant, hard rockers Godsmack for the early-August fair.
(Related: Fair deserves credit for concert choices.)
It begs the question: Which fair has better entertainment? Let's a take a glance.
The Band Perry, Sunday, Aug. 4 – Burst on the scene in 2010 with self-titled album that was a crossover smash, reaching the top five on the Billboard 200. This year's "Pioneer" reached No. 2 on that chart and No. 1 on the country charts. The all-sibling band had a No. 1 hit earlier this year with "Better Dig Two" and has a current top-10 with "DONE."
Godsmack, Monday, Aug. 5 – Producing hit singles isn't the heavy-metal style, but Godsmack has had no shortage of best-selling material. The band's last three full-length studio albums reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, although the last was three years ago.
Florida Georgia Line, Wednesday, Sept. 25 – The contemporary country duo's first full-length album, "Here's to the Good Times," has been a mega success, reaching No. 1 on the charts. The group currently has three singles in the Hot Country top 20.
Vince Gill, Saturday, Sept. 28 – It's no longer the early 1990s, when Gill was one of the biggest hitmakers in country music, but he still has a catalog full of hits to charm audiences. Gill played the Jackson County Fair in 1998 and 1999.
Tickets for the Band Perry, Godsmack and Vince Gill are currently on sale through startickets.com or by calling 800-585-3737. Tickets for Florida Georgia Line go on sale through the same outlet at 8 a.m. Friday, July 26.
No matter which you vote for, we all benefit from the solid lineup of choices the two fairs have generated this year.

MOTION CONTROL: In 2009, Ondrives saw the purchase of more state-of-the-art machines by, including:
A Doosan HC400 twin pallet horizontal machining centre, to compliment the high precision high speed 7 pallet version we already have giving more flexibility and capacity. This is a linear scale high precision machine with probing.
TESA-Scan 50 CE Plus optical non-contact scanner purchased to enhance Ondrives measuring capabilities.
To complement its existing Gleason-Pfauter P90 Gear Hobber, Ondrives has introduced a twin to maintain its trend toward precision engineering. The company is, even on these new models, able to thread grind with CBN wheels making ground worms for extreme precision even after the hardening process.
Ondrives says this continued investment in high-end machinery enables the company to offer its customers the very best level of quality and precision components as complete control is maintained in-house to exacting standards.

Annise Parker Avoids Instituting Radical Homosexual Agenda on First Day In Office
Unlike Barack Obama's presidential inauguration, the mayoral inauguration of Houston's Annise Parker did not include any flubbed lines. Except for for anti-gay ridiculous person Pastor Joel Osteen, at an opening prayer, praising god for "lifting up our new mayor, Annise Parker."
Following her swearing in, she addressed the LGBTs directly at a reception: "I understand what this day means to you. I can feel your excitement and your joy, but I can also feel your apprehension and your longing for acceptance. I will gladly carry you forward, but today is simply one day toward a tomorrow of greater justice. And when the time comes I will gladly pass the torch to the next in waiting, and I will cheer for them as you do for me. Your bravery in the face of threats, your bravery in the face of insults sustains me. We will support each other. Do not fear to dream big dreams. Bring your whole self to everything you do. Face the world with dignity and integrity. I promise you, the pain is worth the reward."
Houston? Texas? Not just a woman mayor, but a lesbian mayor?
Wow, I did not see that coming. My eyes popped out of my eyepits!
And the sign in the end: "Houston becomes the largest city with an openly-gay mayor" o_0
Texas? I mean, TEXAS??? Well, way to go!
Now remove that horrible ban from your constitution, people… you know, the one that was meant to say "no marriage for gay people," but actually said "no marriage for anyone in the great state of Texas." You're gonna have to correct that little ambiguity anyway, why not just remove it completely? What? You say, "Let lesbians be mayors, but don't let them marry!"? You say, "We can't change the definition of marriage just because some gays wanna have s(o|a)me rights!"? YES, WE CAN! And YES, WE WILL!
So why didn't she grab as much heat for having Osteen give the opening prayer as Obama did with Warner.
No. 3 · edgyguy1426: That one slipped right by me…….WTF is with these Gays who feel the need to find "common ground" with those who do nothing but spew vile hatred towards our community?
Joel Oralsex and Prick Warren are even more frightning than the old fire and brimstone evnagelical preachers. These new model smiling lunatics adopt a persona which makes them seem non threatning and simply doing gods work, all the while meeting with ugandan savages engineering Gay genocide……….
Bring on the Dental Dams!! If Parker had ANY say in the matter, then Brillcreem Osteen was a terrible choice to swear her in. Surely someone from her campaign could have found more gyno-sappho-centrically friendly ministers or ministeresses?
Shout outs to Edgy & TerrW for pointing out the inanity of Botticelli Osteen being the designated representative of God and Gaylessness on Earth. Yeeesh.
p.s. Wanna bet she starts holding monthly potlucks or puts dental dams in the Womens' bathrooms? –kidding!–I wish her well.
When did any of the rightwing lunatics reach out to Bishop Eugene Robinson for an opening prayer??? Why must Gays always be the one to do the reaching out? Whilst I wish Mayor Parker success, she is going to get as much in return from breaking bread with Joel Oralsex as the Gay activists received from meeting with Buju Banton……….
Osteen's a big deal in Houston. She was elected to represent all Houstonians, not just the ones who agree with her. Nice to sit on your big fat butts making judgements, but if you were democratically elected to govern a metropolis, you'd do the same thing.
We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the news, but we can confirm that your mouth measures 218% percent larger and more laden with excrement than any of the "big fat butts" you reference in your post.
We wish you luck as you attempt the G.E.D. for the fourth time.
It shows how little some know about Texas, doing a little homework before jumping on the bandwagon would serve a lot of people well. When some think of Texas, they assume it is a hyper racists, homophobic, misogynistic backwards southern state which couldn't be further from the truth. An African American Lee Brown one three elections and was term limited right before our previous mayor Bill White here in Houston. The fact that someone would be surprised that a women is in office in Texas is baffling since the first women Governor took office in 1925 and Ann Richards a democrat was elected in 1991. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson has been serving in the U.S Senate since 1993, and was first elected to political office in 1972. We also have three African American Congressmen/women currently serving in the U.S. Congress. Obama pulled a lot more money out of Texas than Mccain and won 5 percentage points more than Kerry. Texas is an economic powerhouse with a diverse set of social and political views. I apologize for my rant, but the disingenuous attacks on my birth state, especially after attending college up north, quickly turned stale.
@#9 Reason–I think/hope your beef was directed at Queerty and at least one of the first couple posters, but I haven't seen much anti-Texan ranting since then, have you? I don't care for Joel O.; but that's not a slam at the whole state. I hope Ms Parker has success as Mayor and opens up some minds, too!
Mayor Parker addressed the glbt community at a reception the night before her public swearing in. But the lines you quote aren't from the speech she gave there — they were from her inaugural address, delivered on camera and to the city as a whole.
And I'm not a fan of Joel Osteen's theology, but it's hard to classify him as some horrible homophobe. When pressed, he may say that he believes God doesn't want people to be gay, but he only says things like that if someone pushes to get him on the record. He doesn't preach about homosexuality, doesn't get involved in politics, and doesn't raise funds by villifying us. And I haven't seen much sign that he spends time associating with the hard-core homophobes who are to the right of him.
(It's also important to note that another prayer was delivered by Rudy Rasmus of St. John's United Methodist Church, whose manifesto reads in part, "I will not be a part of an institution or religion that judges or marginalizes a person based on race, abilities, gender, orientation, identity, or social status…" It was a radically inclusive prayer, and much better delivered than Joel Osteen's.)
No. 10 · Lukas P: My comments were directed at the first few post not at you. On the topic of Osteen, I have sat through Joel's church, and while he seemed a little full of himself he tends to avoid falling into political frays or discussing contentious topics. I believe he answered a question about gay marriage by stating that he was for everyone; he was reprimanded by followers afterward.
I was so excited to hear about this, being a young gay men who spent almost his entire childhood in the Houston area, until I stumbled upon this: a website a Christian group in Amarillo created to attack this new direction. http://www.boycotthouston.com is actually raising money and taking signatures to impose economic sanctions on the city of Houston not only for its election of a homosexual mayor, but also because they have made plans to build the largest Planned Parenthood facility in the nation there. Go to the website and read all about it if you wish, all it did for me was make me quite angry. Just thought you guys might want to know about it. :/

Bill Murray sent the Late Show with David Letterman a sweet send off when he popped out of a cake for the late night host's second-to-last show.
Check out the official movie trailer for "The Monuments Men" that hit the air during the 2014 Super Bowl.
Bill Murray will beat up a Florida State Seminole to prove Clemson will win.
Bill Murray is covered in blood after a brutal fight in Brooklyn. Just kidding. He's just filming 'St. Vincent de Van Nuys' with Melissa McCarthy & Naomi Watts.
Charlie Sheen took a break from the booze and hookers long enough to make a movie with Bill Murray and it doesn't look half bad.
The Internet was another gold mine of comedy this week with Bill Murray and Breaking Bad's Tuco getting epic remixes and iPhone 5 leaking a promo video.
One of America's most iconic comedic actors gets a fitting tribute from British DJ Electric Method. Cheers to Murray!
Did you know that Bill Murray has eight siblings? Neither did I… more importantly, he's staring in Hyde Park on Hudson about FDR's love affair with a distant cousin. Presidential incest, whaaaaa?!
In true aging movie star fashion, Bill Murray gives movie fans a walkthrough tour of the set of Wes Anderson's new flick Moonrise Kingdom – all while sloshed on rum.
"You're right, no human being would stack books like this." Revisit one of the best (and most quotable) movies of all time.
Bill Murray's charming performance keeps the tank at least half-full throughout Jim Jarmusch's underfocused road trip through an aging gigolo's sexual past.
We've heard the rumors about a Ghostbusters 3 for a while now, and at this point all we can do is hope that Murray and Co. get the ball rolling. But until then, we've got 20 awesome pieces of ghost busting art to hold you over. You know who to call…
School's almost back in, so get in your summer fun while you still can! Here are a few attractions and rides you might like to check out on Netflix Instant before it's time to hit the books.

After extensive reforms, more survivors feel comfortable reporting rapes, with reports up nearly 18 percent last year.
But McGrath still has work to do, on himself.
This month, the chief -- already under attack for a blase response to a highly critical state investigation of a Nov. 29 police chase and shooting -- chose to administer a slap on the wrist to a police sergeant who had failed to take a domestic violence report.
Dwayne Canterbury was under county court order to have "no contact" with Lydia Ruiz. But when Ruiz tried to tell 2nd District Sgt. William Lally last summer that she believed Canterbury planned to assault her, Lally refused to take the complaint seriously and walked away, not even accepting a copy of the court order.
About our editorials
Plain Dealer editorials express the view of The Plain Dealer's editorial board -- the publisher, editor and editorial-writing staff. As is traditional, editorials are unsigned and intended to be seen as the voice of the newspaper.

• Email general questions or comments about the editorial board to Elizabeth Sullivan, editor of the editorial page.
That's exactly the kind of dismissive attitude that McGrath had promised to stop.
Canterbury was subsequently arrested after he broke Ruiz's jaw and three of her teeth.
The case came to light after Ruiz filed a complaint against Lally with the Civilian Police Review Board, which found that Lally did not mention his conversation with Ruiz in his duty report, another serious omission. The review board recommended that Lally be given a "greater than 10-days" suspension.
Instead, McGrath chose a three-day suspension without pay -- with two days held in abeyance if Lally makes it to October 2014 without further disciplinary charges.
McGrath's compass still needs adjusting.

'Modern Family' lands Greg Kinnear
"Modern Family" has landed Oscar and Emmy nominee (and Daytime Emmy winner) Greg Kinnear to do a rare TV guest appearance.
According to EW.com, Kinnear will play Tad, a real estate broker tied to the career decision Phil Dunphy was contemplating at the end of the last episode.
The report only says that Kinnear's episode will appear sometime next year and doesn't mention if it could become a multi-episode run.
Kinnear, who earned an Emmy nod earlier this year for "The Kennedys," last did an episodic guest role in 2003 on "Friends."

Frequently Asked Questions - 2010 EHDI Community Grants
Last updated March 5
1. What is the Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative Grants Program?
The Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative (EHDI) grant program was created by the 2001 Minnesota Legislature in Minnesota Statutes 145.928. This competitive grant program provides funds to close the gap in the health status of African Americans/Africans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos in Minnesota compared with Whites in the following priority health areas:
- breast and cervical cancer screening
- diabetes
- heart disease and stroke
- HIV/AIDS and sexually-transmitted diseases
- immunizations for adults and children
- infant mortality
- teen pregnancy
- unintentional injury and violence
These grants will provide an opportunity for you to mobilize and organize your community's resources in effective and creative ways to:
- implement effective activities that reduce racial/ethnic disparities
- promote the health and quality of life of individuals and communities
- build on your community's strengths and assets to address health issues
- build and strengthen partnerships and working relationships among community members, faith-based organizations, culturally-based organizations, social service organizations, community non-profit organizations, tribal governments, community health boards, community clinics and other health care providers, the Minnesota Department of Health, and other state agencies
- support culturally-relevant activities
- focus on prevention and early detection
2. What are health disparities?
Although Minnesota has long been noted as one of the healthiest states in the nation, minority populations in Minnesota tend to experience much worse health in several areas. Overall, populations of color and American Indians experience shorter life spans, higher rates of infant mortality, higher incidences of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other diseases and conditions, and poorer general health. These disparities also affect Minnesota's newly arrived immigrants and refugees. In some cases, the disparities are the highest in the nation. Populations of color and American Indians have pushed for increased attention to these issues. Improved data collection now is more accurately uncovering the breadth of health disparities in Minnesota.
3. Who is the target population?
This competitive grant program provides funds to close the gap in the health status of African Americans/Africans, Latino/Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians in Minnesota compared with whites.
4. What are the funds for?
2010 EHDI funds will support three types of grants: priority health area implementation grants, social determinants of health implementation grants, and social determinants of health planning grants. You should consider the requirements for all three types of grants to determine which type of grant is best suited to your community and how you want to work towards the elimination of health disparities. You are expected to develop your application collaboratively with your community partners.
5. Who can apply?
Eligible applicants for the EHDI grants program include, but are not limited to, faith-based organizations, social service organizations, community non-profit organizations, community health boards, tribal governments, and community clinics throughout Minnesota.
6. What is the available funding, and where does the funding come from?
The 2009 Legislature appropriated approximately $3 million in state general funds and $2 million in federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) funding for EHDI grants in fiscal year 2011, which begins July 1, 2010 and ends June 30, 2011. This appropriation is subject to amendment by the 2010 Legislature. Minnesota Statute 145.928 directs us to make these funds available for planning and implementation grants for local or regional projects and initiatives.
7. I do not have my Federal Exemption yet, but my agency is a non-profit. Are we eligible to apply?
8. How will your application be reviewed?
Applications will be reviewed by teams that include content experts in the priority health areas and the social determinants of health, as well as volunteers who represent the diversity of Minnesota's communities.
Grants will not be awarded solely on the scores assigned by the review teams. In addition to reviewer scores and recommendations, our ranking of applications recommended for funding will consider distribution across focus areas (the eight priority health areas and the social determinants of health), the four racial/ethnic groups, and geography, as well as objective levels (disease-specific and risk factors) and activity types (individual-based and policy, systems, and environmental change). The decisions on grant awards made by the Commissioner of Health will be final. There will be no appeal process.
9. I'm not able to download the RFP. Do you have it in an earlier version of Adobe?
You can download Adobe from our Web site before you download the RFP.
10. Where can I find the Intent to Apply Form? Where are the forms located?
All forms are located in Appendix N, in alphabetical order. On Page N-1 is a list of the documents included in Appendix N.
11. Can a lead agency apply for more than one of the three types of grants?
A lead agency can only propose one of the three types of grants: Priority health area implementation grant, Social determinants of health planning grant, or Social determinants of health implementation grant.
12. Can an agency be a lead in more than one application?
No, your organization may submit only one application as the lead organization; but your organization may be included as a partner in more than one application.
13. Do applications for the two types of social determinants of health grants need to name and describe a relationship to at least one of the eight priority areas?
No. However, your activity must show how it is likely to contribute to a reduction in the identified health disparities.
14. Is attendance at the training on February 22, 2010 required to apply for EHDI funds?
No, you do not have to attend the training to apply for funds.
15. If I don't register for the training can I still attend?
No. Registration is required to ensure adequate materials and food is available for all in attendance. Please note space is limited at all sites, and if registration is closed all seats are filled.
16. Why is the new RFP only for one year instead of two?
The intention is to align the EHDI grant cycle to the state fiscal cycle which begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.
17. Do we need to register to attend the EHDI training on Feb. 22, 2010? Will the webinar really run 8 hours?
Yes, you need to register in order to attend the training. The training on Feb. 22 is not a webinar. It is a one-day workshop, which will be held at Snelling Office Park, 1645 Energy Park Drive, St. Paul, MN 55108 and video conferenced to multiple video conference sites in greater Minnesota. Information about training registration, the agenda, and time is posted on our website.
18. What time is the training on February 22 scheduled?
The RFP training is scheduled to begin at 8:00 and end at 4:00 pm.
19. We are looking at submitting a planning proposal for Mental Health Services. Could you define whether mental health service area would fall into the EHDI requirements?
It depends on the activities you are proposing. If your proposed activities are likely to lead a reduction of the identified health disparities and as long as your proposed activities fall under either one of the three types of grants: a health priority grant --social determinants of health planning grant and social determinants of health implementation grant.
20. Who should apply for social determinant grants?
Social determinants of health grants (planning or implementation) are for applicants who are ready to 'move upstream' and collaboratively develop or implement an initiative to address social determinants of health in their communities. More details are provided beginning on p. 8 of the RFP.
21. We are an organization providing financial assistance to Minnesota homeowners with seriously ill or critically injured children by making a mortgage payment on the family's behalf to prevent foreclose during a medical crisis. Would our focus qualify submission of an RFP?
Yes. The RFP states: "Eligible applicants for the EHDI grants program include, but are not limited to, faith-based organizations, social service organizations, community non-profit organizations, community health boards, tribal governments, and community clinics throughout Minnesota." However, the strongest applications will have a long-term sustainability strategy, which may involve the development of a larger vision with critical partners that prevents or minimizes the need for such direct services.
22. Can you tell me or provide me with a link to where the videoconference locations will be held in greater Minnesota on February 22 for the EHDI RFP training?
- MDH, St. Cloud District Office
- MDH, Bemidji District Office
- MDH, Duluth District Office
- MDH, Fergus Falls Office
- MDH, Mankato District Office
- MDH, Marshall District Office
- MDH, Rochester District Office
For locations and directions, please see MDH District Office Locations
23. Can we apply for a health priority area grant in a racial/ethnic population that is not listed as a priority in Appendix C?
Appendix C doesn't have a check for diabetes in Hispanics/Latinos, because we used years of potential lives lost as our measure, and there isn't a disparity by that measurement. There are disparities by other measurements; some of them are identified in Appendix E. Applicants may identify and document disparities that are not indicated in Appendix C. The review criteria give points to priority health area applications that propose to address priority health areas in populations of color and American Indians with disparities, whether the disparity is indicated in Appendix C or documented it an application. Alternatively, applicants may apply for priority health areas/populations of color without a "checked" disparity - they just won't get the extra points.
24. Will applicants receive technical assistance from the MDH during the RFP process?
Yes. Questions regarding this RFP may be submitted by phone or email to the contact people listed on page 2 of the RFP. Frequently-asked questions (FAQs) will be posted on our website. The training on February 22 also will provide some technical assistance.
25. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the resources. Do the resources have to be cited in the grant proposal?
The resources provide information about the activities listed in the menus. They don't have to be cited in the application.
26. Can I provide individual one-on-one services with patients using TANF funds?
No. There are certain restrictions with TANF dollars. You cannot use TANF dollars for one-on-one services, only for group services. While there may be some individual level interactions happening within a group level intervention, the main purpose of the intervention cannot be to fund one-on-one interactions.
27. Is there some flexibility in the Menu of Interventions?
Yes, there is some flexibility. While we would like you to choose one of the interventions listed, we understand that there may be certain adaptations due to your unique community circumstances. We ask that when considering a teen pregnancy prevention intervention, and it is not listed in the Menu of Interventions, make sure that it demonstrates characteristics of effective sex and STD/HIV education programs. To determine this, please look at Douglas Kirby's "Tool to Assess the Characteristics of Effective Sex and STD/HIV Education Programs".
28. Can you apply for more than $250,000 if you are addressing several priority health areas?
No. The chart on page 1 and 2 in the RFP shows that $250,000 is the maximum you can apply for.
29. In terms of social determinants of health-Are social and recreational activities considered a "resource" that communities of color lack that may increase the risk factors for priority health areas, including teens at risk of becoming pregnant?
Please refer to the RFP application starting on page 8 which provides an overview of the social determinants of health grants. In both planning and implementation grants we are asking for applicants to identify social determinants of health in your community. Also refer to "Promoting Health Equity".
30. Can social determinants of health grant be connected to one priority health area or must it be tied to all? For example, can you work on a social determinants of health grant tied to teen pregnancy alone? (The choices included on the cover sheet and intent to apply form seem to rule that possibility out.)
No. However, your activity must show how it is likely to contribute to a reduction in the identified health disparities. Please note on the cover sheet it instructs to choose only one type of application, by typing an X. This is also explained in the instruction page for the cover sheet.
31. Is there a total page number required for the entire grant?
No. However, there are page limitations for each form submitted. Anything that exceeds the page limits or is not requested will be discarded and not reviewed.
32. Can binders be used for the bound copies instead of staples if the copies are too thick to staple?
Yes, please make sure copies are securely bound.
33. Although there is a $50 incentive limit for TANF grants, can other items be purchased as incentives such as backpacks, books, movie tickets, social outings, refreshments, gift cards, etc.?
The incentive for TANF can not be in cash or gift cards. Any incentive cannot exceed a total cost of $50 per person, per year.
34. Barring reimbursement for child care, transportation, etc., can child care be included in the budget if it is provided by a staff person? If an agency has vans that will be used for transportation, can there be a transportation line item to pay for associated costs as long as participants are not reimbursed directly?
35. If your project is targeted towards social determinants of health (SDOH) specifically for teenage pregnancy prevention, are planning grants available? If so, do they come out of the TANF funds? What is the likelihood of program implementation funding being available after the planning period?
SDOH grants do not require addressing a specific health priority area; and planning grants will not be funded through TANF funds. All planning grantees will be eligible to apply for implementation grants at the end of the 1 year grant cycle. However, we can not guarantee availability of funding after the planning period ends.
36. If I am applying for health priority grants, do we have to pick activities from the menu listed or can we propose our own activities that are promising practices?
You are required to pick a goal and an objective from the menu of activities. However, you are not required to pick an activity listed in the menu. You can propose your own activities and provide support on why you believe this is a best or promising practice.
37. We are a community health board. Does the initiative prohibit lead agencies, in our case a community health board, from delivering services through subcontract with community agencies or clinics, or does the initiative prefer that lead deliver services directly?
EHDI does not prohibit lead agencies from delivering services through subcontract with community agencies or clinics. However, whether you provide services directly or subcontract to other agencies, we highly recommend that the lead agency and the community agencies or clinics with which it subcontracts have the capability to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to the target populations: African Americans/Africans, Latino/Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians.
38. What kind of outcomes are you looking for? Are the outcomes different from the previous EHDI grants?
No, they are the same as stated in 2001 Minnesota Legislature in Minnesota Statutes 145.928 (see Appendix A) in the EHDI RFP.
39.I was unable to attend the new EHDI RFP training on February 22, 2010. Where can I find the presentation materials?
All the PowerPoint presentation handouts from Feb. 22 are posted on our website. Follow "Conferences and workshops" link on the left side of the website and look under Past Events.
40. We noticed that the lead organization can be different from the fiscal agent. Could we be the fiscal agent on more than one proposal?
No. you can only serve as a fiscal agent on one application. Please note on page 24 of the RFP Application Instructions your organization can submit only one application as the lead organization, but your organization can be included as a partner in more than one application.
41. We are an organization applying for health priority area implementation grant, can we also serve as the fiscal agent for a coalition that does not have a 501 c (3)?
No, your organization can only apply one type of grants as a lead organization or serve as a fiscal agent on one application.
42. On the Financial Capacity form, under "Application Information" it asks: "How many different funding sources does the total revenue come from?" Are you talking in general terms (i.e. government, foundation, individuals) or are you looking for specific numbers such as how many foundations, how many government grants and contracts?
We are looking for the number of funding sources you receive. (For example, 6 foundations, 2 government contracts and list the names and amounts on the form.)
43. On the background information sheet for the proposal, do we provide background information for the lead organization or for the fiscal host or both?
Fiscal Agents should be described in the "Fiscal Agent for the Application Form" and the "Financial Capacity and Review Form."
Most of the forms should describe and probably be completed by the lead organization. The "Background Information Form" should describe the lead organization.
44. Where should supervisor expenses be included?
Supervisor expenses are to be included in the administrative costs, unless they are participating in program services.
45. Looking at the budget narrative instructions I see Evaluation as an expense sub-set of each line item. Would the appropriate place to itemize evaluation-related supervisor expenses be in Other in the Evaluation subset?
If you are applying for an implementation grant, evaluation expenses should be identified in each line item. Provide a description of the cost related to evaluation included on this line item and indicate the cost of those expenses.
46. Is an individual budget form required for each year, and from each consortia site? Or should the consortia site costs only be included on the prime site budget page?
Budget is for one year. All costs should be included in the lead agency budget form and provide your explanations for each budget line in the budget narrative.
47. For the budget, is there a maximum allowable indirect rate which can be applied?
Yes, 15%
48. Does the maximum allowed $250,000 per year include indirect costs or direct costs only?
Yes, it includes indirect costs.
49. Can more than one activity can be included in the same worksheet? In Box 1 of the Activity Worksheet, "1. Activity Identification," it reads "Priority health area(s) and objective(s)," and "Activity(ies)," as if an applicant could use one worksheet for more than one activity.
It is correct you must submit an activity sheet for each activity. However, there are several activities in the Menu of Interventions that address more than one Priority Health Area and Objective. For example, if you were to address Diabetes, Objective A and Heart Disease, Objective A, you would put both down; if you then picked Diabetes Activity, A.2.1 and HDS Activity, A.2.1, you would enter both in the activity(ies) line. Note: they are the same activity so you would not have to do another activity sheet. You are encouraged to review the instructions for the Activity Sheet for additional information.
50. We missed the deadline of March 1 to submit a letter of intent to apply for the EHDI grant. Could we still submit a full proposal by March 25 at 4:30 p.m.?
Yes. Submission of a letter of intent is highly recommended, and still accepted, but not required. You can still submit your proposal by the deadline of 4:30 p.m. on March 25, 2010. However, for the proposal deadline, late proposals will not be accepted and there will be no extensions granted.
51. What is the MDH definition of community partner? And how important is it to have community partners for the EHDI grant proposal?
EHDI is focused on populations of color and American Indians (POC/AI). On pp. 18-23 of the RFP, there is detailed information on how applications will be reviewed. One set of criteria is, "With whom will you work?" In addition, it also states the importance of involving the target population in the proposed activities.
52. Page 8 of the RFP states "The review criteria give points to priority health area applications that propose activities that address more than one priority health area ....." Does an agency addressing the teen pregnancy disparity also needs to address another disparity, such as HIV/AIDS and sexually-transmitted diseases in order to score points? If it is, should the applicant also check HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases on the Application Cover Sheet and complete separate Focus Area Description and Menu of Activities forms for
HIV/AIDS and teen pregnancy?
In the Menu of Activities there are activities that address more than one health priority area. Therefore, if you choose one of those activities you will receive the points. To answer your second question, you may check another disease area but you are not required to.
53. On the Activity Worksheet for Priority Health Area Application, what kind of information should be included under #4?
On the Activity Worksheet under #4, please describe: what you have done to prepare to carry out this activity; include actions steps if you have done planning, or, if you have implemented this activity what steps you have taken.
54. Is there a narrative component to the EHDI application
or is it simply filling out all the forms (which include answering the brief narrative questions in the boxes/spaces provided)?
Only the forms need to be filled out. Please make sure to review the checklist for each grant; this will give you a list of everything to be included. There are a couple sections that do not have forms, just narratives. In those cases, please follow the instructions.
55. Do government agencies need to provide the documentation under #6 on "Financial Capacity and Review Form"?
No. "Financial Capacity and Review Form" Instructions state: "Government agencies and tribal governments do not need to complete this section or include (financial) documentation in their applications."
56. Are more than one activity sheets needed if one of our program activities fulfill more than one of the priority objective activities?
Yes. If you are choosing an activity in one health priority area that does not overlap with the same activity in another health priority area, you need to fill out one activity sheet for each activity. Please also refer to the other Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) listed on this Web site.
57. Are letters of support required for the EHDI grant application?
No, we have not requested letters of support.
58. The budget form says that all contracts must be approved by Minnesota Department of Health. Must the contracts be approved before we submit an application?
No. Only if you become a grantee.
59. We are required to set aside funds for evaluation. Is there a form to describe what we will evaluate? How will we evaluate it? Who will determine the evaluation process?
When you are completing the budget narrative, you are to identify the expenses from each line item that support evaluation. We are currently in the process of creating the evaluation process, and we will provide the information during the award process.
60. In addition to listing our partners on the form "Community Involvement, Collaboration, and Partnership Form". Do you need a formal Memorandum of Agreement with signatures from each of the partners?
No, we only need to know if they are proposed or have agreed. If you are funded, formal agreements will be requested at that time.
61. How many copies of the "Financial Capacity Review Form" should be included in the application?
We only need 1 Financial Capacity Review Form in the original Application. You do not have to include in the 7 copies.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Among the takeaways from Martin Marietta Material's failed $4.7 billion hostile takeover bid for Vulcan Materials, according to Vulcan's attorney: Pay very close attention to confidentiality agreements, and "don't go hostile on an Alabama company when their football team just won the national championship."
Igor Kirman, Vulcan's lead attorney in its successful defense of the takeover bid, walked mergers and acquisitions attorneys through the case today in a presentation at Cumberland School of Law's Southeastern Business Law Institute at the Wynfrey Hotel. It was the first public accounting of many details of a fight that captured headlines in the national business press for much of the past year, and Kirman called it "the most important outcome of any confidentiality agreement ever written."
The New York attorney is an authority on the subject. He's the author of the book "M&A and Private Equity Confidentiality Agreements Line by Line."
The hostile bid was launched in December of last year after the two companies failed to reach a deal in private talks. As part of those talks, Vulcan shared a variety of proprietary information with its suitor, including information regarding cost savings that could result from eliminating redundancies and possible anti-trust implications. That information was protected by two confidentiality agreements that stated it could be used only for the purpose of evaluating the friendly takeover bid.
Vulcan sued, arguing that Martin Marietta improperly made the information public to bolster its hostile bid. Delaware Chancery Chief Judge Leo Strine found in favor of Vulcan in May, and the Delaware Supreme Court upheld Strine's decision two months later. The court barred Martin Marietta from pursuing Vulcan for four months.
Confidentiality agreements aside, Martin Marietta's analysis significantly underestimated anti-trust implications and significantly overestimated synergy savings, making its bid unreasonably low, Kirman said. North Carolina-based Martin Marietta offered half a share of its stock for each full share of Vulcan stock, valuing Vulcan at $36.69 a share, well below a fair price, he said.
In the midst of the fight over the hostile bid Martin Marietta CEO Ward Nye slammed the defense being put up by Vulcan, and closed a Jan. 10 conference call with analysts by paying homage to the University of Alabama, which had beaten LSU to win the national championship the night before.
''With apologies to Auburn fans . . . congratulations on your national championship last night and Roll Tide!'' he said.
That didn't sit well with Kirman, who added the phrase "defense wins championships" to the automated signature at the end of his emails, vowing to keep it there until Vulcan won.

Continue reading for all the details from Ford's official press releases as well as more photos. Click on the smaller images for much larger photos. Let us know what you think of the re-design in the comments.
Available for the 2010 Mustang are a 4.0-liter V-6 engine, which is rated at 210 horsepower and 240 pounds-feet of torque, and a 4.6-liter V-8 engine, which is rated at 315 horsepower and 325 pounds-feet of torque. Each is mated to five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions.
"We have fantastic engines," said Chief Nameplate Engineer Paul Randle. "Our 4.6-liter, three-valve V-8 engine has won 'Ward's 10 Best' for our years in a row and is the most-accessorized engine in the marketplace. Plus, Mustang customers love to personalize their cars, and our engine platforms allow them to do that."
The Ford team uses advances gained through programs such as the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge and special editions to improve the 2010 Mustang.
Improvements inspired by the Bullitt program, for instance, are seen on the genuine polished-aluminum manual transmission knob and leather-wrapped shift knob, which support a short-throw, performance-based shifter originally launched on the feature car.
Horsepower gains on the V-8 are achieved by the cold-air induction system pioneered through Ford Racing Technology. The intake is tucked behind the driver-side headlamp, mounted in an air box specific to the Mustang. Extensive sealing modifications ensure cold air from the front of the Mustang feed the engine.
A true ram-air system offered on a base GT vehicle is a first for Mustang.
"That means more horsepower and more torque in all driving conditions," Randle said.
The redline for the V-8 is increased 250 rpm to 6,500, and revised calibration ensures the customer fully feels these changes.
Both the V-6 and V-8 engines have larger exhaust tips, growing to 3 and 3 ½ inches, respectively, up ½ inch from the previous model. The V-8 exhaust features polished tips.
"The 2010 Mustang runs great on regular fuel, and that is where we quote our peak numbers, but we also have a great dual-adaptive knock calibration that allows the 2010 Mustang to run on regular fuel as well as premium fuel, and the system figures it out itself," said powertrain supervisor Chris Roxin. "It also improves the torque of the engine in the low- to mid-rpm range."
The powertrain feel also is enhanced by intake and exhaust sound tuning that delivers Mustang's signature sound. "All the better to hear that famous Mustang roar that's been inspiring customers for more than four decade," Randle said.
* Mustang enthusiasts will be better connected in the 2010 model, thanks to available industry-exclusive technologies such as Ford SYNC™ and next-generation navigation with SIRIUS® Travel Link™
* Enhancements to the popular MyColor™ system include a wider range of color choices to customize the instrument gauge lighting. Additional convenience features new for 2010 include the industry exclusive Easy Fuel™ capless fuel filler and available reverse camera system
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2008 - The Ford Mustang, America's favorite muscle car for nearly a half century, offers a host of new available features for 2010, including for the first time the industry-exclusive SYNC system, Next-Generation navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link and a reverse camera system.
"We know that Mustang owners love spending as much time as possible in their cars, and we wanted to offer them the best technologies to stay connected in a safe way," said Paul Randle, Ford Mustang chief engineer. "Adding small features such as steering wheel-mounted audio controls and big technology breakthrough including SYNC and SIRIUS Travel Link make the Mustang driving experience even more engaging."
New technology features available on the 2010 Mustang include:
* SYNC: The voice-activated hands-free in-car communication and entertainment system developed by Ford and Microsoft. The system fully integrates most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players, providing customers hands-free cell phone and music selection capabilities - plus new 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report provided with no monthly fees.
* 911 Assist: When a phone is properly paired, turned on and connected to SYNC, the system is ready to assist in placing a call directly to a local 911 emergency operator in the event of an air bag-deploying accident. The key advantage of SYNC 911 Assist is speed, as calls are placed directly to local 911 operators.
* Vehicle Health Report (VHR): SYNC gathers relevant information from the major vehicle control modules and packages diagnostic data into a usable format in a matter of minutes. That data packet is sent to Ford via an 800-number automatically dialed using the customer's paired and operable mobile phone.
* SIRIUS Travel Link™, an industry-leading technology that, when combined with the voice-activated navigation system will provide users with real-time traffic data with accident and incident information, coast-to-coast weather data including current conditions and five-day forecasts, and fuel price information for over 120,000 gas stations. Travel Link also offers sports scores and schedules and a listing of more than 4,500 movie theaters with movie times, theater addresses, movie synopses and more.
* Voice-Activated Navigation, which integrates several functions including voice recognition destination entry, climate control and SIRIUS satellite radio into one easy-to-use system, displaying them on an 8-inch touch-screen display. The navigation system's text-to-speech function calls out street names while in route to a destination and reads incoming text messages when the system is linked to SYNC. The integrated DVD player is capable of reading CD-Audio, MP3 CDs, DVD, DVD-Audio and DVD-ROM (for digital map updates). A music jukebox function stores more than 150 hours of music. The screen even can be customized with personal photos.
* Reverse Camera System, which mounts a small camera on the decklid spoiler that is activated when the Mustang is shifted into reverse, providing a clear view behind the vehicle.
The video image is displayed in the navigation screen on Mustangs equipped with that option or in the self-dimming rearview mirror on those without the navigation system. The screen image includes an industry-first centerline and colored guides giving the driver a better perspective of the vehicle's center point and periphery. The rearview camera system will be available on the GT Premium, V-6 Pony Express and V-6 Sport packages.
* Ambient Lighting System with MyColor™ allows drivers to customize the interior lighting of the vehicle to suit their mood. The enhanced MyColor system features seven base colors - ice blue, purple, blue, orange, red, white and green. Customers also can create 125 custom colors by mixing the red-green-blue palette. The driver can individually set the instrument cluster gauge background, instrument cluster "halo" lighting and the ambient lights in the front and rear footwells, cup holders, doors and the "M U S T A N G" logo in the aluminum door sills to different colors, or easily coordinate them all to the same custom color.
Another clever feature standard on the 2010 Mustang is EasyFuel™ Capless Fuel-Filler System. This industry-exclusive feature helps to reduce evaporative emissions that create smog and global warming. When fueling is completed, and the fuel pump nozzle is removed, the system automatically seals shut.
Additional refinements include a new center console mounted trunk release; lockable stowage in the center floor console; covered cup holders; steering mounted audio controls; dual electronic climate control; outside temperature sensing; and remote keyless entry integrated into the key. Class-leading one-touch up and down windows continue as well.
"We listened to customers and made improvements to the 2010 Mustang in every way we could," said Keith Knudsen, supervisor, Mustang vehicle architecture.

For 83 consecutive games, St. Anthony had used a suffocating defense to beat some of the best teams New Jersey and the country had to offer.
Last night, St. Benedict's did what the Jersey City school had done to so many opponents during that streak, which had been the longest active streak in the nation.
St. Benedict's defense was brilliant last night in the Newark National Invitational at the Prudential Center as it led the way to a victory over St. Anthony, 47-38, to end its 83-game winning streak.
According to Hoopedia, the all-time state and national record for consecutive victories is 159, set by the Passaic High ''Wonder Team'' coached by Hall of Famer Ernest A. (Prof) Blood from 1919 to 1925. Blood went on to coach St. Benedict's Prep from 1925 to 1950.
St. Anthony, No. 1 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, lost for the first time since March 13, 2010, when it fell, 57-56, in triple overtime to Trenton Catholic in the NJSIAA Non-Public B title game. St. Anthony (18-1) is also No. 4 in the USA Today national rankings, while St. Benedict's (19-1) was No. 5.
"They were better than us," St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley said. "They were better emotionally and physically and they were more prepared than us. We took one on the chin."
The St. Benedict's offense, which came in averaging 83 points per game, was limited in the first half, though the team still built a 19-17 halftime lead.
Pittsburgh-bound forward Mike Young and guard Isaiah Briscoe combined to score the first six points of the second half to extend the lead. Tyler Ennis closed the 14-4 St. Benedict's third quarter when he converted a and-one to make it 33-21 with 1:49 left in the period.
The Newark school's dominance continued into the fourth with an Ennis basket followed by a pair of Young free throws to give St. Benedict's Prep its biggest lead of the night at 37-21 with 7:11 left in the game.
St. Anthony would not go down without a fight in this physical contest as free throws from Cheddi Mosely and Tarin Smith cut the deficit to six. St. Benedict's Jordan Forehand would hit two free throws to make it an eight-point game and Young put the game on ice with four straight points to make it 47-35.
"You never know with St. Anthony. Their defense is so great that they can get a couple turnovers in a row and get a couple baskets," Young said. "When they took the seniors out, that's when it hit me."
"We didn't give ourselves a chance," Hurley said. "We didn't make the adjustments that we normally do."
For St. Benedict's it was a return to normalcy. St. Benedict's came into last night coming off a 54-52 loss at Blair on Wednesday.
"What's more important is that we were able to persevere through the loss and get a win," Young said. "It's good to break the streak and beat St. Anthony because they're a perennial powerhouse. But the most important thing for us is to come back and get the win after the loss."
St. Benedict's closed the first quarter with seven unanswered points. Briscoe hit a fadeaway 3-pointer from the corner to give St. Benedict's the lead for good at 10-8. The sophomore followed with baseline jumper before Ennis closed out the run with a drive to the hoop with 16 seconds left.
Ennis finished with a game-high 14 points for St. Benedict's Prep. Young scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half and Briscoe added 11 points and four steals.
Hallice Cooke had 12 points and Josh Brown added eight points for St. Anthony, which shot just 27.3% from the field in the game.
"I know a lot of people would like to be 83-1, but I didn't like the manner in which we lost," Hurley said. "We showed no poise. Our senior (starters) were 10-of-36 from the field and our bench was timid. I can't think of one positive out of this loss."

Troopers dealing with fatal accidents
November 19, 2013
If your own safety, and those of the other motorists on the road, doesn't concern you enough to drive more safely and carefully as snow and ice has officially brought us to winter, you might want to......
@disgusted I seen NDHP stop vehicles in the city limits they can stop anyone away where and can only enforce state law not city ordnance. I ask a NDHP once during the state fair they had someone stopped next to the holiday inn and he was from the Fargo High patrol District.

Got it, but I don't think state troopers work within city limits unless the situation is threatening the public. Then, I wonder if they don't need to be called in by the city police. Maybe, someone out there can let us know.

@disgusted what I meant to say was State Troopers in the Minot Area sorry I was typing to fast

Minot State Troopers? From Minot State? There are no Minot State Troopers, that may be why you haven't seen them. But, you're are right. The fines are ridiculous. Punishment needs to hit them in the pocket book. They need to garnish those fines, however many are not gainfully employed. I feel for the officials who have to deal with this day after day.

I saw a state fleet vehicle pass my vehicle on I-94 at 90 plus mph.
When state employees are speeding down the road, who is going to stop them?
Not one state trooper along I-94.
Try to drive the speed limit on I-94 and you almost get run over.
Many out of state drivers going 90 mph.

I looked up the crashed in the ND Gov. website and saw that in 2012 their was 147 Fatal crash and 92 of them No one was wearing a seatbelt and 87 were Alcohol as well. But my opinion is if someone want's to in a fatal crash just don't wear your seatbelt I read a fatal crash in the Minot daily a while ago were 2 people in a crash same vehicle 1 lived and walked away and 1 Died because he didn't have a seatbelt on. I hear lately vehicle crash were the person was Ejected from the car and either crushed by the car or just landed on the road.

I agree taxman5 our state official's need to do something fast or that number could reach 500 someday. My friend got caught running a stop sign as he was coming on to Highway 83 and a county deputy pulled him over and gave him a $20.00 Fine I laughed Back home our fine is $160.00 for running a stop sign and do many people run them NO. This state seem like a joke when it comes to Traffic Fines. I drive near Stanley and Tioga I scared to drive because I know someone in the NW North Dakota is going be in a fatal crash today.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I rarely see Minot State Troopers on the road. I also blame more of these traffic deaths on our ND state legislatures because our traffic fines in our state haven't went up in 60+ years I drive on Hwy 2 and 83 every day and I see people pass me at 80+. I talked with many out of state drivers and ask them why they speed? It is because they can afford it see in a 55MPH ZONE if you get caught doing 70 MPH it is $15.00 and they say in there state it is $175+ and they tell me they don't speed there and they say not a lot of people speed they said. Even the DUI and Other traffic fines are much more than other states. Even one legislature wanted to get rid of many Troopers and not add anymore because there was no need for more. I know that legislatures do speed also. On a side note when there is traffic accidents people seem not to pull over for RED, WHITE or BLUE Emergency Vehicle Lights Please people pull over they maybe going to help one of your family or friends. Two words SPEED KILLS

Yep, neat ain't it... that is the NEXT generation... real time LOGGING. Some day CQWW will use a system that is probably derived from this. Not only will you plot qso's in real time, but you will validate them against the other guys log. Just think of the possibilities. Ev's demo of real time logging is interesting, but not likely to catch on for large contests for a while yet, and definitely NOT related to the reporting of scores that we are doing to W1VE's scoreboard site. Note that the real time SCOREBOARD does not collect individual qso data, only scores and band breakdowns.
