To bond or not to bond — and how much to bond?
MARSHALL – Although this is not a bonding year, there is a possibility a bonding bill will pass in 2013, but putting a finger on just how much it could be is next to impossible at this point.
Dollar amounts of a potential bonding bill range from $110 million proposed by the Senate all the way up to an $850 million version put forth by the House.
Gov. Mark Dayton's proposal is closer to the House version at $750 million.
"It is unusual there would be that big of a spread, but it's also unusual in a budget year that bonding is getting so much attention," said District 16 Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls.
Dahms said the Senate's version of the bonding bill is mainly for restoration at the state Capitol. The disparity in numbers, he said, likely signals that it's nothing more than a negotiation tool.
"Yesterday (Thursday) there was some verbiage going around that (Senate Majority Leader) Tom Bakk was going for a $250 million bonding bill, but that's not what the target shows, that's not the version we've got to this point," said Dahms. "I think that indicates there will be some negotiations going on."
Of course, the city of Marshall has a stake in whatever happens. Both the MERIT Center expansion project and the regional amateur sports facility are seeking bonding dollars. Local supporters have testified in front of committees on behalf of the projects but got no real indication one way or the other over the prospects of the passage of a bonding bill.
The MERIT Center is seeking $2.5 million (it has already secured $1 million from previous bonding), while the sports complex is, for the third time, going after $4 million. Dayton's proposal puts money toward civic center expansions, but nothing was included for Marshall's projects.
A driving track at the MERIT Center – estimated to cost about $7 million – which could be used for a variety of training purposes, along with the sports complex, are both affected by a .5 percent general sales tax and a 1.5 percent food, beverage and lodging tax that passed on the Marshall ballot Nov. 6.
The measures for the MERIT Center and sports complex passed by 60 and 62 percent, respectively. The two local sales taxes would help pay for capital and operating expenses for the track and all or part of the costs of the new facilities at the sports complex. The sales tax applies to retail sales in the city of Marshall and does not apply to sales of motor vehicles.
The .5 percent sales tax went into effect Monday; the lodging tax will go into effect June 1, and the 1.5 percent food and beverage tax on July 1.
Dahms, a supporter of both projects, said Marshall has as good of a chance as any city to land some bonding dollars, but, "to be fair, it's hard to say. You can read the tea leaves, and sometimes you're right on, sometimes you're not. If we spend bonding money, we want to make sure we get our fair share in rural Minnesota and our district. I've been supportive because I think both would be good for Marshall and for communities around Marshall."
Sports center advocates have said the project will move on whether or not it receives help from the state. Getting bonding dollars would only enhance their plan and allow them to do some things they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to do.

Ratings for Dr. Richard C. Rampi
I have been going to Dr. Rampi since he first opened his office in 1987. He is the most honest and caring man as well as highly professional and excellent in everything he does. His staff is so friendly and they make you feel so welcomed. Kimberly is the best as is Janice Marie and the rest of the staff. When I go to my appointments I feel like I am visiting family. I refer all my friends and family to him and they all love him. Finding him was a blessing!
The entire staff is amazing. They make you feel like your family. By far the best experience I have ever had with a dentist. Very highly recommended.
Just changed dentists to Dr.Rampi from Serene Dental East Orlando....The difference is night and day...Dr. Rampi is awesome, staff is great!!!! I was told by Dr. Garcia at Serene Dental (1). That I had TMJ...Whoa, thats news to me!!! (2). That he was referring me to an Endodontist for immediate Root Canal on my right canine tooth....(3). That I had over 1000.00 dollars in work that needed to be done including 2 more root canals, 4 fillings, and 2 crowns....I just didnt have a good feeling with Garcia--REALLY BAD manners, cold, all about the DOLLAR and referring out for work he probably sucks at doing!!! Well, got my Canine Filled yesterday by Dr. Rampi..Took 20 minutes, NO PAIN, today is GREAT...NO ROOT CANAL...GO TO DR. RAMPI!!!!! VPdentistry THANKS!!! You guys are the best!!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM Dr. GARCIA and Serene Dental!!!! Just want your MONEY.....
My family has been seeing Dr. Rampi for over 22 years. He is by far, the most knowledgeable, honest, gentle, and compassionate dentist I have ever visited. His calming nature makes the experience as pleasant as can be :). His staff is fabulous as well.
I read comments on EVERY endodontist in the area before I chose Dr. Rampi's office. I called and spoke with Janice and explained the problem I was having and she was extremely knowledgeable. Most of all she was comforting. I was making a 4 hour drive to get there and waiting a month due to my schedule. In the meantime, I went to my internist only to find out my problem could be solved with silver nitrate in his office. When I called the office a few weeks in advance of the appointment Janice said happily, "so you want to cancel"! The point is she was just as happy as I was that my problem had simply been solved, what a joyous response! I believe this has to be VERY indicative of the tone of the entire office. if I do need an endodontist in the future this is where I will be going! Thx for the professionalism!!
Dr. Rampi is the most honest,understanding, considerate dentist I have ever had. I have been tortured by dentists from childhood on up and am so grateful that I found Dr. Rampi. He takes the time to explain everything and offer options and has done my filings without numbing up my whole face. I can almost be calm in the chair now. Had another dentist tell me I would need gum surgery after a root canal. Turned out not to be true. The staff is wonderful also. Highly recommend you see Dr. Rampi.
Dr Rampi is amazing. He's polite and gentle but most of all he doesn't seem like he's trying to rush through the visit. He has NEVER tried to up sell me in anyway on the contrary if I am ever hesitant on proceeding he very honestly tells me what I need and what he feels I can put off for later, Wonderful experience!
Dr Rampi has been my dentist for over 13 yrs. Before I started going to him, I had a deep seated fear of going to a dentist. It didn't take long for my fears to leave, and he has given me years of the highest quality dental work I could possibly hope for. I just broke a tooth and immediately I was given an appointment for tomorrow AM. Dr. Rampi is pragmatic, knowledgable, friendly, gentle, and maintains state-of-the-art dental equipment and processes. His exceptional staff is friendly and provides capable individualized service. My Dental Hygentist there, Kimberly, is one of the nicest people I have met, is a lot of fun, and really cares about my dental hygene practices. She keeps my teeth healthy & in tip-top level of cleanliness. His office is aware people have lives too, and do their work in a very timely manner. I would recommend Dr Rampi to anyone who wants/needs that special touch and attention. Rarely does one find service like what is at Venetian Pointe Family Dental.
Dr Rampi is awesome. I have been going to him for 20 years and could not imagine going any where else. The office staff is so nice and courteous. Kimberly is my hygienist and I love her. Great office!
BEST DENTIST EVER!!! Dr. Richard Rampi and his office staff(especially Kimberly the hygenist) are outstanding. Most HONEST practice I have ever been to. I brought a $1500.00 treatment plan from another practice to Dr. Rampi. I knew this had to be wrong as I was having no issues with my teeth. Dr. Rampi found 0, yes i said 0, of any of this work needed. He did find one other genuine issue which the other dentist did'nt even see, as she barely looked at my teeth. His hygenienist Kimberly was AMAZING as well. She is extrememly knowledgeable about her profession and is VERY thorough and really takes time and cares about her patients. THANK YOU for still practicing medicine the way it was intended!! I give this office 1,000 stars!!!!!!

Unmanned aircraft and two companies of soldiers have been deployed in Kruger National Park.month announced a new Presidential Task Force on Wildlife Trafficking.
A key failing lies in the continent's judicial systems, where judges don't take wildlife crime seriously.unarmed drones with real-time information about the location of poachers, armed ranger patrols, and electronically tagged rhinos so that rangers can be optimally deployed to protect the animals. Crawford Allan, a senior WWF/TRAFFIC wildlife crime expert, said that the project had been approached by dozens of drone manufacturers because "their military contracts are depleting and they're looking for civilian applications" for their aircraft.
A well-crafted social awareness campaign in Asia could drastically reduce demand for rhino horn and ivory.point out, it is often linked logistically and financially. President Obama's new task force on wildlife trafficking is heavily populated by representatives from the departments involved in anti-drug and anti-terror efforts.

For over four decades, bassists have marveled at Paul McCartney's Odyssian approach to the bass. Macca's countermelodies twist and turn through countless Beatles compositions and tell tall tales on more than a few of his solo works. But nowhere is that Macca flair clearer than on "Something. Against George's sparse and simple vocal line, McCartney thrusts his super-melodic bass to the fore in an emotional performance where he tells a story with each and every note.
To quote Macca,
"I always try to get a bit of melody out of the bass part," Paul told Bass Player in October '05. "But you have to be selective, or the composer can get a bit annoyed. I don't think George was too pleased with what I did on 'Something' at first; I mean, I had to sell it to him!"
After all, on this delicate ballad, he lays out a bold declaration of melodic independence as he weaves through the song's changes with flowery passages and purposeful articulation. It's easy to see why George might be a little taken back by Paul's liberal interpretation of his tune. But even if George felt Paul's line was overcooked, he still allowed it out the door. So give George thanks for this feast—still fresh after all these years—as you get ready to bite into a bass line that's meatier than a huge hunk of steak (seitan steak, of course).
By the Abbey Road sessions, Macca's style had obviosly reached a creative high point. Though he used his '65 Rickenbacker 4001S on "Something," Paul attributes much of his style to the particular feel and sound of his '63 Hofner 500/1 hollowbody bass.
To quote macca,
"Because the Hofner is so light, it encouraged me to play with a light touch and be more adventurous. I'd play it more like a guitar. I'll go up and just vroom, vroom, slur into high notes and then come back down and nail the bass part. The slides and slurs come from playing guitar and using some of that approach."
Let's analyze "Something" Maccamaniacs.
After setting the foundation with an authoritative low F at bar 1, McCartney wastes no time injecting his line with expressive techniques, especially slides. As you're reading through the transcription, note how some slides connect two adjacent notes, like in beat four of bar 3, while others are used as an approach, like the one leading into the beautiful run at bar 8. Still others fall off, like on beats three and four of the turnarounds at bars 1, 10, and 19.
While he plays most of the song on the upper strings, there's a point at the end of the bridge (bar 28) where he hits a low D, which is why the transcription is tabbed for drop-D tuning. Except for that one note, the rest of the line could be played on a 4-string in standard tuning. For the tablature haters out there, consider lifting your tab ban to take note where to play these notes. There isn't a single open string pluck in this tune, as Paul mainly thumped around the 5th and 7th positions for a tubbier sound and less position shifting.
The song's structure is rather simple, but Macca constantly repackages his lines for maximum freshness: Compare the different ways he arpeggiates the D and D7 chords in bars 6, 15, 33, and 42. After the first two verses (A and B), Paul establishes the key change to A before the song's bridge by outlining an A triad in bar 20 and using chromatic movement on beat four to set up the bridge's call-and-response line. In bars 35 and 44, Paul stuffs even more feeling into the signature lick from bar 8 by greasing his approach to the high F with an up-and-back slide from E. In the final verse (E), check out the new variation he introduces against the Cmaj7/G chord in the third verse at bar 39, and how at the tune's final buildup, Paul pedals on A as he begins to walk up chromatically to F before the ritardando turnaround to C.
Don't follow all the musical jargon? OK. In layman's terms:
"Something" is a song in which Macca may have best showcased his amazing talent on the bass guitar. Now, go find your Abbey Road CD, put your headphones on, and listen to it for yourself.

Just a heads up to those of you in Europe who like the idea of Big Games and don't already know about this.
September 18th is the opening of the first day. The target this year is to have over 2000 people on the site every game day, so its gonna be a lot of people. And therefore a lot of fun
you can register on the site
The paint isn't too highly priced, though above average. There are good prices for renting equipment, unfortunately this year they are not allowed to have the X7 so the BT-4 Delta is the best you can get.
Including transport you're probably looking at somewhere around 250 E for 3 days of playing which is pretty damn good if you ask me. This depends on how much paint you shoot through though.

Topic: Need guidance for my plan to learn RoR...please advise!
Experience: I've taken an intro to programming course at a good university, but no other programming experience. Learned the basics of Java in that course. I watched the 6-hour Berkeley RoR crash course, but the pacing was very fast so I took what I could and moved on. Now:
Currently: I'm reading Agile Web Development with Rails 3rd Edition, working through examples (I'm understanding Rails pretty well, but the Ruby is beyond me) and I am looking for a good resource to learn Ruby to the extent that I need it for Ruby on Rails. Any recommendations? Is Pickaxe the best way to go?
Goal: I solely want to develop web 2.0 applications (please no criticism, I am a business student by trade but am passionate about web sites and want to take it to the next level) and I want to be able to do so within 3-6 months and accomplish my further learning by developing real projects.
Please advise me, I have spoken to everyone I know who works in tech, but I really need advice from RoR experts in particular. I am looking for mentors.

Technical Resources
Cultural Resources are evidence of past human activity. These may include pioneer homes, buildings or old roads; structures with unique architecture; prehistoric village sites; historic or prehistoric artifacts or objects; rock inscription; human burial sites; earthworks, such as battlefield entrenchments, prehistoric canals, or mounds. These nonrenewable resources often yield unique information about past societies and environments, and provide answers for modern day social and conservation problems. Although many have been discovered and protected, there are numerous forgotten, undiscovered, or unprotected cultural resources in rural America.
Our Cultural Resources Fact Sheet page describes the important role cultural resources plays in support of the Natural Resources Conservation Service mission.

Compilation of State and Tribal Laws and Regulations
State laws often require treatment of burial sites and associated resources, and most carry penalties for failure to comply.
In response to increasing concerns over the looting of cultural resources, including sites containing human remains and funerary objects, many states and tribes have enacted legislation and codes to project burial sites. These laws and codes often require special treatment of burial sites and objects and may have penalties for failure to comply. This project (the map) is a compilation of exiting state and tribal cultural resources laws and codes and we encourage you to review and comment, and suggest additional information and web links.

Topic: Ruby 2/Rite and Bytecode
I was reading an article and it mentioned something about a possibility of Ruby implementing a bytecode virtual machine, similar to Java. So I searched and came across Rite which is the release name of Ruby 2.0. It says that Rite will be bytecode based.
This is from 2003, does anyone know anything more about this? It sure would be nice to make Ruby a lot faster.

Toby,I feel the same way..wow..I guess there are now living beasties in my kitchen. Thank you very much for continuing to help me though this process. I never thought of also keeping a rye starter, so thanks for the idea!I will follow your instructions and start adding some white flour. I will keep an eye on it or them..lolAs for refrigerating the starters, what is the procedure for that? Can they stay well in the fridge?I sure wont be using the starters everyday, so any information would be helpful.Hopefully the wheat starter will do well.Thanks,Norma
The typical procedure is to feed the starter (taking whatever portion you need for baking, dough etc.) - let the fed starter sit for an hour or so before returning to the refrigerator. However with my recent rye experiment, I deliberately put the starter straight back in the 'fridge after feeding and it was fine.People have been known to leave their starter in the fridge for months on end (on the understanding that an extra refresh might be required when it comes to taking it out of the fridge). I'd probably stick to weekly feeds if possible.Cheers,Toby
LOL, Norma, I think you have an addiction. Someone is going to have to take your starters away from you.
These are the starters as they look tonight. The one rye was fed with high-gluten this morning. It has since tripled in size. The next rye was fed with Caputo this morning and has more than doubled in size. I did just feed the rye and let it be rye this morning. This was Toby's idea. Thanks! The wine with flour is expanding, also. I had started the whole wheat last night and it will get the second feeding tonight. I still have another rye. I don't know what I am going to do with all these starters, but they look and smell healthy. I plan on feeding the Caputo and the high-gluten..I guess until they turn into a white starter. I found the containers at the Dollar Tree store..for a buck they are working great!This is a picture of how they looked, tonight.Norma
Damn! Norma - they're taking over. Seriously though - that's a fine looking selection of starters. Looking forward to seeing the baked goods.Happy Baking!Toby
Norma427,I see the starters are keeping you very busy, how do they smell? Do they have a special aroma? Don't be in a rush to try them out, according to what Marco said it takes about a month for the starter to be ready.
With all due respect to Marco, you can use you starter anytime it stabilises (5 or 6 days for a rye starter, longer if you then transition to white). Flavours and the balance of organisms are different in an older, more mature starter to say a fresh one. However both will still raise and make great bread/pizza.Taking Marco's advice in a different context - since it is certainly true that your starter character will change over the first month or so. For a commercial pizzeria to rely on a starter to raise large quantities of dough on a fairly tight schedule, it makes sense to be absolutely sure your starter is stable before opening. Toby

Verizon plans two new cell antennas
NEW ULM – Verizon Wireless has pulled out of its plans to build a 4G cellular phone tower on Martin Luther College campus due to opposition from neighboring homeowners. Instead, Verizon is planning two new antennas.
Verizon confirmed this week it is planning to put a new cellular antenna on the new Nehls Park water tower and another on the New Um Municipal Airport water tower, pending approval by the FAA. Verizon did not confirm if it would remove its golf course tower, but several persons with direct knowledge on the project confirmed that was part of the plan. Details are pending as Verizon reviews its new plan.
Additionally, MLC sent Verizon a new possible site last week. The new proposal would place the tower, potentially disguised as a flag pole, between its dormitories on the opposite side of campus. The location was not part of MLC's initial proposal because college officials thought the antenna needed to be placed on the dormitory roofs. However, after determining a free-standing pole could be installed between the buildings, MLC sent Verizon the new proposal. Verizon had no comment on the most recent MLC plan because it has not had time to review it.
The first MLC site was brought up as a replacement for Verizon's cellular antenna on the failing Hermann Heights water tower, which is scheduled to be removed and replaced with a new water tower at Nehls Park this year.
During a public hearing on the proposal, a spokesperson for Verizon said it was not interested in moving to the Nehls Park water tower because the location would only overlap with coverage already provided by its antenna at the nearby golf course.
Verizon had proposed building either a single pole or a pole disguised as a tree on the MLC campus to fill a coverage "hole" in the area. Because Verizon's tower needed certain "line-of-sight" requirements and because MLC turned down other locations due to future building plans, Verizon proposed a tower on the western side of campus. But, the proposal met with criticism from some homeowners bordering the MLC campus. Tom Berg, an opponent of the plan, said the opposition was concerned the tower would "be unsightly in our neighborhood" and lower property values.
Verizon subsequently pulled its plans, and MLC said it would no longer continue with that particular site in order to be "good neighbors."

Skip to comments.Gas Prices Soar 51 Cents in Just Two Months
Posted on 02/18/2013 10:03:56 AM PST by george76
Per gallon cost has risen every business day for a month.
Consumers are taking another huge hit in 2013. First, the two percent Social Security tax hike began the year. Now, gas prices are soaring ever closer to $4 a gallon and have jumped 51 cents a gallon since Dec. 20.
According to the Oil Price Information Service, the national average for a gallon of unleaded was $3.21.9 on Dec. 20, 2012. Today, that price is $3.73.0. While there has been a steady increase, prices shot almost 9 cents just over the weekend.
It took the media some time to catch on to rising gas prices, as "Good Morning America's" Josh Elliot said two weeks after the climb began that "we have just learned that gas prices have skyrocketed."
Those higher pump prices hurt consumers, who were already paying more for gas than in decades. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported recently that the average household spent more on gas last year, as a percentage of income, than it had in 30 years.

He did say that he would have "more flexibility" after re-election...
$3.89.9 at the local EXXON ... SW Pennsyltucky
Yeah'n don't forget the civilian army equally armed and equipped
It's just market forces, so just shut up and pay the market price if you want to get between point A and B.
I will be suprised if we are not paying around $8 per gallon within the next four years. Even that may not be up to the level that Obama's lackies would liketo see.
Gee, I wonder how the libtards will try and force all the free independent people to leave the burbs and rural areas, to move to the cesspool cities and worship government?
I don't think it can get that high without all out collapse. I'm thinking 5.00 to 6.00 is tops.
I'm sire it has nothing to do with taxes or EPA regulations...
Nothing at all...
Do i really need the sarcasm tag?
I'm sure it has nothing to do with taxes or EPA regulations...

Weird. Posted once. Refreshed. Nothing there. Went back, posted again... Two posts.
Delay on the servers again?
A market that's goes down then up 40% in two months is a market that is severely stressed. I've seen no explanation on either the supply or demand side that can explain this enormous volatility.
Anybody else notice that there has been NO handwringing, NO plaintive wailing from the MSM this time on >$4 gas?
None. It's no big deal now, you know, because the economy is doing so much bettter, people can afford it.
God has hardened the hearts of the American People as He hardened
the heart of Pharaoh so He can punish them for their
evil deed in refusing to reject this Evil Kenyan.
Gas prices are just one of the New Plagues.

yeah, and he's installed several rabidly hostile Islamofascist regimes, too, including his MuslimBrother pals in Egypt (you know, the ones that have wanted to kill Christians and Jews and take over the world since 1928, and who were illegal before O forced Mubarak to allow them to surface in public and participate in O's big FIRST SPEECH to the People AS AMERICA's President, his big speech in Cairo to the Muslim world....
(who ever said he is incompetent in office?!? He is accomplishing many of the things, to the letter, that he said he wanted to see happen...it is time to give him credit for what he accomplishes...)
Thousands of people protested washington about "climate change". They were seriously opposed to the US being self sufficient. Give them what they want, and let them choke on it. When they freeze to death in the dark, I wouldn't even give them the courtesy of a proper burial. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. I blame them for falling for it, and I blame us for not putting a stop to it.
Other terms not seen in the MSM since 09:
Recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street
Homeless problem
Bigtime....this place is as broken as it was during the pre-election.
Market forces influenced by government regulations and enviro-fascist lawsuits which make refining gasoline an expensive endeavor. I see no specific conspiracy to raise gas prices but I do see policy level decisions that conspire to raise prices. Further, when gas was close to $4 bucks a gallon during the booming Bush years I had to listen to "pain at the pump" stories every night on the local news.
Time to send The Stain a "Thank You" card?
I'm sorry. I will never tempt fate like that again...
Nonsense. The gas price at my local station in PG County MD January 26 was $3.24.9/gal. Yesterday is was $3.89.9. that works out to $0.65 in less than four weeks.
Here's all I did to boost my mpg (helps boost power too)
K&N air filter (they guar a couple mpg)
Insulated air intake (outside air is cooler than under-hood air, thus denser with O2)
Low restriction exhaust
50psi low profile tires
Mobil 1 oil
Strut tower bar increases handling
Manual trans (+10%)
Leave backseats out
Believe it or not, this PT Cruiser can burn the tires off. And handles very well. Gets 32mpg on highway and high 20s around town. Exceptional for a PT Cruiser. And very fun to drive.
The K&N extracts a price in increased engine wear due to more particulates getting past the filter.
That d... Bush....he's been out of office for more than four years, and he's still manipulating the gas prices for his oil buddies. It's an outrage. (snicker)
A front end alignment also helps in fuel economy because if the wheels are out of alignment there is friction from the tires.
I remember in 2005, when gas prices were spiking, all my Lib/Prog neighbors were spouting that tired, old MSM-fed drivel about GWB intentionally keeping fuel prices high "to enrich his oil buddies." Now, just eight years later, these same retard neighbors are absolutely convinced that a US president's policies can have *no* influence whatsoever on the price of "global commodities."
I swear these people are robots whose minds can be erased and reprogrammed at will. They don't even remember claiming GWB manipulated fuel prices!!!
Josh Elliot said two weeks after the climb began that "we have just learned that gas prices have skyrocketed."
When you live in a multimillion dollar apartment in Manhattan and are ferried around by a limousine, how would you have a clue about the price of gas unless your chauffeur decided to mention it to you? The elites living in big metropolitan areas don't fill up their cars and many of them don't own cars.
But remember, gas is a lot higher in Europe. sarcasm?
The liberal idiots who voted for obama will pay $100 to fill their tanks then say "It only cost $50 to fill my tank today." They simply refuse to see what's right in front of them.
And when their "nana" is refused treatment and allowed to die they'll actually join the chorus and say "She had a good life." And when they themselves reach 70 they'll die with a dumb look on their face.
Market price? It would help if we had a President who didn't consider himself King and keep the Keystone pipeline from being built. BUILD IT ANYWAY, DAMNIT!
"Well ya know, we're never gonna see gas prices go down until we get Bush and his oil bidness cronies out of the White House".
Never fails to either piss em off or get a rueful laugh.
How expensive would gas have to get for this to pay off?
Let's say your car currently gets 18 mpg, and that it would cost $1000 (on the low side) for the head replacement, and removing 50-75 pounds of weight would improve gas mileage by 3 percent (I think that's generous).
With gas at $8.00 a gallon, you would have to drive 80,000 miles to get your thousand bucks back. And you wouldn't want to swap out heads until your existing engine was out of warranty, right? So better be prepared to put 120,000 plus on her.
How expensive would gas have to be to make this deal pay off in a more reasonable 50,000 miles. Between $13 and $14 a gallon. And at that point we'll all be driving Fiat 500s anyway.
I love to run the numbers for people.......
You're using basic math and logic.
Is that still allowed on FR?
Which is why so many of the so-called high MPG cars today don't make sense. My daily driver is is a 2005 Nissan Altima. It's all paid for, has a V6 with plenty of scat, gets 23-24 mpg, and holds four with luggage easily. Why the heck would I spend $20,000 on a less powerful, less comfortable 35mpg car in order to save $900 a year on gas?
Now if that $20,000 car got 90 mpg, or I was a sales rep who had to buy my own gas for 60,000 miles a year....maybe. But for the normal commuter, forget it.
In commercial trucking, which I was involved with for 25 years, the concept of "life cycle cost" is paramount.
I remember my buddy back in 73 (the first OPEC embargo) sold a beautiful Buick 225 for peanuts and bought a Vega. Took him about 2 weeks to figure out that was a dumb move.
Had it totally rusted through in two weeks?
In Cleveland, it took about 18 months for the front fenders to perforate. The GT model was fun to drive though, they had a great suspension and handled as good as anything on the road back then.
You are right about Vegas. Great design, abysmal execution. I was driving a 67 Dodge Charger (Petty blue with a 383, sweetest car evah) during the oil embargo and thankfully was never tempted to sell it.
I got trapped visiting Michigan on a Sunday in Jan 74.
No gas stations open anywhere. Of course my 69 Z28 sucked gas like a race car.
yup, utter hypocrisy, but since the msm votes about 95% democrat, why would they run hatchet pieces on their guy?!
you can overinflate by about 30-35% and you should see an improvement in mpg. wouldn't recommend doing it in the winter, though.

Italy's e-commerce sector has celebrated a bumper Christmas, but some people are left nursing a hangover now that the party is over.
NetComm today launched 'MyZone', a mobile 3G Wi-Fi router that will initially be sold exclusively through official Apple retail stores.
Telstra yesterday launched the BigPond Elite Network Gateway, which is claimed to be the fastest device of its type in Australia.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

|SYNTAX Study: TAXUS Drug-Eluting Stent Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for the Treatment of Narrowed Arteries
|Official Title ICMJE
|SYNTAX Study: SYNergy Between PCI With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery
|Brief Summary
|The SYNTAX trial is designed to determine the best treatment for patients with complex coronary disease (blocked or narrowed arteries in both the right and left sides of the heart) by randomizing patients to receive either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents or to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
|Detailed Description
Due to the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) and to improvements in therapy for both percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) patients, PCI is challenging CABG as the gold standard for treatment of three vessel (3VD) and left main (LM) coronary disease.
SYNTAX is a novel, randomized trial with nested registries comparing PCI with paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents to CABG for 3VD and LM patients to evaluate the best treatment for these patients with complex coronary disease.
Patients at participating centers will be evaluated by both a cardiothoracic surgeon and by an interventional cardiologist.
Those patients who are determined to be eligible for treatment by both PCI and CABG will be randomized to receive either PCI with a polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stent or CABG.
Patients who are determined to be unsuitable for treatment by PCI will be treated by CABG and will be entered into a CABG registry to help define the patient population in which stenting continues to be an unacceptable treatment option.
Similarly, patients who are determined to be unsuitable for treatment by CABG will be treated by PCI, using any interventional techniques or devices with or without the use of DES, and entered into a PCI registry to help define the patients for whom CABG is considered inappropriate.

text: Spring Training is quickly approaching and GMs are starting to make more moves in preparation of the upcoming season. It is important to pay attention to where certain players land. This could affect their fantasy value and what type of production to expect. For example, it is expected Jorge Cantu will sign with the Padres. This will have a serious impact on his home run totals, playing half his games at Petco Park. Mike Napoli was traded twice in the past week. First to the Blue Jays in the Vernon Wells trade and then he was shipped off to Texas for relieve pitcher for Frank Francisco. Now it may be tough for Napoli to find regular at-bats given the Rangers lineup. However, given an opportunity, he could have big year playing in the much more hitter friendly Ballpark in Arlington.

Improve Quality (IQ) Program
The IQ Objective is to:
- Improve the quality of coaching
- Improve the quality of refereeing
- Improve the quality of soccer playing
- Improve the quality of parent involvement
In past seasons, Region 88 has had as its primary focus on accommodating the ever increasing number of players signing up to play soccer. The IQ Program represents a shift from growth to improving the quality of the soccer program being offered to the participants, consistent with AYSO philosophy.
- All coaches will be required to obtain AYSO coaching certifications.
- U-5, U-6, U-8 & U-10 coaches will be required to attend the appropriate U-5, U-6, U-8 or U-10 clinic, based upon the division in which they are coaching. Any coach who has already completed an AYSO U-10, U-12, U14, Youth, Intermediate, or Advanced clinic will be deemed to have satisfied this requirement.
- U12 & U-14 coaches will be required to attend the U-12 or Intermediate clinic, as appropriate, if they have previously completed the U-10 clinic or Youth clinic. If they have never completed an AYSO clinic, they will be required to attend the U-10 clinic. Any coach who has already completed an AYSO U-12, U14, Intermediate or Advanced clinic will be deemed to have satisfied this requirement.
- A listing of coaches and their certifications is included in the yearbook.
- Coaches will be allowed to coach only one team except in special circumstances. All exceptions will require the concurrence of the relevant Division Coordinators, the Regional Commissioner, the Regional Coach Administrator, and the Regional Referee Administrator.
- All U-5, U-6, and U-8 coaches must attend the "mini" referee clinic (3-4hours) for the lower divisions, unless they are certified as a Regional (or higher) referee.
- All U-10, U-12, U-14 and U-16 coaches will be required to successfully complete a
Regional Referee course. Although they will not be required to complete an observation and obtain their badges, coaches will be encouraged to do so by expanding the mentor program and the number of observers. Those coaches who are already certified as referees will be required to take a brief (1-2 hour) refresher course (if offered) prior to the beginning of the season unless they have upgraded or completed a clinic within the past year.
- For U-10, U-12 & U-14 games, refereeing will be done using a three-referee team. As in the past, coaches will be required to referee the game following their game. The home team is required to furnish two qualified referees for the next game. The away team is required to furnish one referee for the next game. The home team is required to provide the center referee, unless the referee team agrees otherwise.
- Assistant coaches (or one or more volunteers from each team) who are not certified as referees, are required to complete an Assistant Referee clinic (approximately 2-3 hours) before the end of the third week of the regular season. Teams that do not comply with the AR qualification requirement will be ineligible for post season play.
- AR's will not be expected to call fouls, only offside, in & out of play, improper throw-ins, goals, corner kicks & goal kicks. If both AR's are certified referees, the center referee may choose to assign them full AR responsibilities.
- A coach may have a qualified volunteer fulfill his referee and/or AR obligations; however, the substitute must meet the established qualification requirements and be approved by the Regional Referee Administrator.
- All those completing the Regional referee clinic will receive a set of flags. Coaches who are already certified as Regional referees and do not have a set of flags will receive a set of flags.
- Upper Division coaches are encouraged to obtain at least an Intermediate Referee certification and are expected to AR the game following theirs. The Region will provide a qualified center referee, except in unusual circumstances.
- The Kids Zone program will be implemented with signs and other materials.
- All coaches and referees will continue to be required to have completed a Safe Haven course.
- U-14 coaches will be encouraged, but not required, to play all players three quarters rather than two, when roster size or attendance make it possible.
- The Region 88 website will include sections directed to parents explaining what is expected of them in terms of commitment and conduct at practices, games, photo day, opening day and other events.
- Information about AYSO and the goals of our program will be expanded as well as information about becoming a volunteer.
- The Team Zone page will be implemented to provide a source of information specific to each team.
- Deadline for completing the Coaching certification requirement is prior to the first weekend of regular season play.
- Deadline for completing the Referee certification requirement is prior to the first weekend of regular season play.
- Deadline for completing the Safe Haven course is prior to the first team practice.
- Failure to comply with the coaching and/or referee requirements may result in the loss of coaching privileges.

As Florida becomes increasingly populated and developed, wildlife are losing natural habitat. NatureScape encourages restoring healthy habitat by providing sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young in our yards. The National Wildlife Federation is an excellent resource for information about creating wildlife habitat in your backyard, school and community.
Here are some tips for landscaping for wildlife:
Creating a Butterfly Sanctuary
Attract butterflies by selecting larval host plants and nectar plants. There are over 100 different species of butterflies in Florida and a variety of your favorite plants may attract them. Some of the most common species and their host plants are featured here:Butterfly Identification Sheet from the North American Butterfly Association, Broward County Butterfly Chapter (PDF)
Attracting Resident and Migratory Birds to Your Yard
Sustainable habitat is built upon a variety of native plants that provide year-round food, cover, shelter and places to raise young. Avoid creating a habitat that relies on artificial feeding. Someof the most common birds and the native plants that attract them are listed here:Native Plants to Attract Birds (DOC)

You may very well be right Bob. A few years ago I contacted Heinz's and asked them about making 6 in 1's available to retail because they were so popular with the pizzamaking community. The fact that so many people now know that the Classico's are a clone of the 6 in 1's at half the cost, probably has sealed their fate!
I have never tried classic crushed tomatoes (I usually use Sclafani). Are they worth trying to track down? I guess at $1/can they are eh?
I have never tried classic crushed tomatoes (I usually use Sclafani). Are they worth trying to track down?
I cleaned out every Wal-Mart in New Hanover County NC.10 cans....
Do you use fresh(non saute) garlic in your sauce...chopped, sliced?
I scored the last 3 cans of Classico tomatoes at a local walmart today. I still can't find Polly-O cheese there though. I'd like to try some but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Jay, you have Sorrento available, correct? That and polly-o at the retail level are pretty much the same IMO.
Bob,According to their product locator nothing within 30 miles. Yikes! I'm living in a cheese desert. I wonder if Gordon Food Service has any decent mozz. I've never checked there. I get my soup base there and it's pretty good.
Heck yeah man; GFS is a gold mine for cheese!
Yeah but does it have any good cheese?
What part of Gold do you not get dude? The G in "GFS" stands for Golden man! You jus start a thread....."Any good pizza cheese at GFS?" and you will come to know my bruddah.And Jay, you may please feel free to send me a few complimentary lbs.- O-cheese as a show of appreciation for this tip. Pizza Pal,"Bob the Golden One"
They were still marked at full price on the shelf at the Walmart I went to so several cans available. Rang up for $1 at the register!

Water samples collected on July 10, 2013 from Manahawkin Bay to Little Egg Harbor contained the naturally occurring species Dinophysis acuminate in bloom concentrations (360-480 cells/mL). Lesser concentrations were detected in the waters of Great Bay, Great Egg Harbor, and in the ocean from Wildwood to Cape May. Dinophysis accuminata can be concentrated by filter feeders such as shellfish and cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning.
Follow up sampling took place on July 11, 2013 with samples being taken for both water and shellfish tissue.
Three water samples collected showed no presence of live Dinophysis accuminata cells, but signs of degraded cells, which suggests that the bloom is declining.
Three tissue samples were analyzed on July 12, 2013 for total okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins, by the FDA laboratory in College Park, MD. All of the results were below the the FDA guidance criteria of 16 ug/100g sample. Two of the samples were non-detect, and one was 0.46 ug/100g. No further action is necessary at this time.
Water sampling will be conducted in the same waters on Monday 7/15 to check for the presence of Dinophysis accuminata.
The waters of Raritan Bay are experiencing a bloom of mixed diatoms (non-toxic) dominated by Skeletonema costatum (5920 cells/ml).

Sacksen into finals at World Cup event
Sam Sacksen (Somerset, Pa.) qualified for Sunday's men's final by placing first in semifinal Group A on Friday at Modern Pentathlon's World Cup #4 in Chengdu, China.
Sacksen got off to a slow start in the day's first event, the fencing competition, winning just four of his first 15 matches. But he quickly recovered to claim eight of his next 11 bouts to finish the fencing portion with a solid 784 points.
In the next event, the swim, Sacksen placed 13th with a time of 2:10.90, putting him in 17th place entering the last event, the combined run/shoot.
It was there that Sacksen shined, turing in the second-fastest time in his group (11:06.33) and vaulting up to first place with 4352 total points.
Also competing in Group A for the U.S. was Dennis Bowsher (Dallas, Texas). Bowsher recorded 12 victories in the fencing competition and had a solid 5th-place finish in the swim (2:05.46). But he faltered in the combined event with a time of 12:14.23, dropping to 19th place and did not qualify for Sunday's final.
In Group C action, Eli Bremer (Monument, Colo.) placed 21st and Nathan Schrimsher (Roswell, N.M.) was right behind him in 22nd position. Both athletes recorded nine victories in the fencing portion. Bremer was sixth in the swim (2:04.78) and clocked a time of 12:29.82 in the combined. Schrimsher was eighth-fastest in the pool (2:05.66) and turned in a time of 12:37.56 in the combined event.

Helped me to sleep well
Posted by Reviewer2125008 on Oct 15, 2013
I liked other products fromSwedish Herbal so gave this a try. I took it irregularly over a month or so, whenever I needed to relax and prepare to sleep. I found it to be very effective, calming and leading to good quality sleep. I've tried many natural sleep aids, and this is one of my favorites as I didn't notice any side-effects. I woke feeling refreshed and not at all groggy.

Topic: AJAX, Stylesheet, and Browser Issues
In my app the stylesheet will load in Firefox in some cases, but not in others (ie-one user profile to the next). There are no obvious differences between the setups of the various users. Also, when viewed in Safari, the stylesheets fails to load in every case so far.
I hope this is not too unclear and someone can help me with these issues.

The essence of an efficient oven is a discrete thermal mass that is isolated and insulated to conserve the energy expended to heat it to operating temperatures and extend the operational time of use.
You've obviously done your research, and thank you for making that effort.I have two concerns re the top heat: 1. most of the side burner heat will go into heating up the shell. Do you think you can add another inside layer about 1" down from the outer shell that will effectively guide the hot air to the cooking chamber?2. The front opening looks like it will lose most of the top heat right off the bat, without giving it a chance to hit the top of the pie before exiting. You could either add a top-hinged door that closes off everything over 2" above the hearth, or add some airguides to direct the hot air down onto the pizza.I know, I should wait until you post some pictures of the pizza, but I really like your efforts. Unlike some others I've seen, you are not trying to be blatantly commercial about it. DIY stuff really is my gig, and I like to see someone being creative.
What happened to this guy.......sheeesh! All that good help....
I'll post some pics when I get a chance to make some dough (or go buy some).

Highest Paying Jobs In The U.S.
Make This Your Highest Paying Year Yet - Here's How
If you haven't exactly saved enough up money to buy a yacht and a place in the Hamptons, maybe you're in the wrong career. It's important to find a job that you love, but finding a career that pays the bills is also ideal in today's tough economy. Most of the entries on this list require years of schooling, but all that time and expense will pay off once you join the workforce. It's important for us to note that many of the highest-paying jobs in the U.S. include various positions within the medical community. To avoid this list looking like a half-dozen or more reasons you should've saved up and gone to med school, we've omitted some of the redundant medical careers; for example, we're grouping all the medical doctors together for the sake of simplicity. And if you really want to know just how profitable a career in medicine can be, take a look at the unabridged top 25 list, which we've included at the end of our list. Here are the top 10 highest-paying jobs in the U.S. as published in 2012 by the U.S. Department of Labor.
10. Industrial-Organizational Psychologist
Annual mean wage: $124,160
Training time: 8 years
Despite having the word "psychologist" in their title, industrial-organizational psychologists aren't the people whose couch you visit to discuss your problems. Those who hold this title work for companies across the economy and typically work closely with a company's human resources, management and marketing departments. Industrial-organizational psychologists do work involved in the testing and hiring of employees, the drafting of policies and implementation of training and development. Working as an industrial-organizational psychologist in the management, scientific and technical consulting service industries averages $163,080, which is significantly above the national average. The educational requirements vary according to the position, but expect to be in school for a long time, as the average psych Ph.D takes six years.
9. Computer and Information Systems Managers
Annual mean wage: $125,660
Training time: 4+ years
How important are computer and information systems managers to most companies? When your computer crashes or you lose a file, you can't call the IT department fast enough, right? IT managers not only manage a large IT support staff, but also plan and implement a company's IT strategies. Attaining this position requires a bachelor's degree in a computer or information science field and several years working in IT support. While IT managers work in virtually every industry, the best-compensated work is in the motion picture and securities exchange industries, where they average $162,520 and $156,180, respectively. By a wide margin, California has more IT managers than any other state.
8. Marketing Manager
Annual mean wage: $126,190
Training time: 4+ years
Marketing managers work in a wide range of industries, and the best make a handsome living because they're skilled at getting their company's message out to the public. The top-paid marketing managers work in the financial investment sector and average $169,770 annually, while those who work in the oil, gas and apparel industries are also compensated well above average, at $168,590 and $163,310, respectively. Marketing is a field in which the required education is a bit cloudy. Many businesses want you to have a bachelor's degree in marketing, but years of experience — and an eye-catching portfolio — can help elevate you to the level of marketing manager.
7. Natural Sciences Manager
Annual mean wage: $128,230
Training time: 4+ years
As you might guess from the job title, natural sciences managers supervise scientists in such fields as biology, physics and chemistry, and split their time between office and lab work. Natural sciences managers who work at the state government level and for educational institutes earn lower-than-average wages for their position, while those who work in the insurance and aerospace industries earn much higher than the norm. Becoming a natural sciences manager typically requires a bachelor's degree in a scientific field, followed by several years of workings in labs.

County board supports bill to fund transportation
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday showing support for a proposed legislative bill that would invest more than $3 billion for needed highway and transit improvements over the next four years.
Bill provisions, according to the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC), include $331.9 million to counties each year, authorization of $800 million in trunk highway bonds, a gas tax hike of five cents a gallon this year, a 1.5-cent fuel surcharge each year for three years to pay for highway bonding debt service, hiking license tab fees from 1.25 percent to 1.375 percent of vehicle values and increasing the flat tax paid by all vehicle owners by $10.
State sales tax on all automobile parts and services would be extended.
The bill authorizes a statewide wheelage tax with no cap and authorizes Greater Minnesota counties to levy local option sales taxes for transportation by county board resolution.
Cities would be authorized to create Street Improvement Districts.
Late license tab fees would be 5 percent of registration tax, with $19.7 million going to counties as highway user taxes.
Additional funds would improve chances of completing the U.S. Highway 14 four-lane conversion from two to four lanes between New Ulm and Rochester, according to the RBA.
The deadline for counties to approve the resolution is Thursday, April 11. An AMC update states that the resolution is not meant to support a specific funding package, but to let legislators know transportation is a priority for counties.
In other action, commissioners approved hiring Madsen Surveying for the 2013 Lake Hanska and Linden Township re-monumentation projects for $39,000.
Commissioner Scott Windschitl reported that the new ARMER radio system is up and running in most of Minnesota, but there is already talk about newer technology – a broadband cellphone network for Emergency Responders, firefighters and law enforcement.
"The new network would need 70,000 to 110,000 users to be viable," Windschitl said. "It would have all kinds of new capabilities including being able to shutdown roads and highways. Some existing cellphone towers could be used, but many new ones would have to be built.
Commissioner Dick Seeboth reported the Brown County Landfill now accepts televisions and other "white goods" (heavy appliances) recycling for a $5 fee.
