This technique has buried more than 800 miles of Appalachian streams in mining debris and by 2012 will have serious damaged or destroyed an area larger than Delaware. Mountaintop removal also poisons water supplies and pollutes the air with coal and rock dust. Coal ash piles are so toxic and unstable that the Department of Homeland Security has declared that the location of the nation's 44 most hazardous coal ash sites must be kept secret. They fear terrorists will find ways to spill the toxic substances. But storms and heavy rain can do the same. A recent collapse in Tennessee released 100 times more hazardous material than the Exxon-Valdez oil spill.

Although Microsoft Corp. claims that the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" platform is the pinnacle of modern smartphone technology, it will take Microsoft another year to integrate support of already existing technologies into the operating system. Next year the company plans to introduce at least two major updates for WP code-named Tango and Apollo.
At Consumer Electronics Show 2012 (in January) the world's biggest designer of software plans to release Tango 1 update to the Windows Phone 7.5 and at the Mix 2012 (in April) it plans to issue Tango 2 update, according to a roadmap of Microsoft published by MS nerd blog. It is expected that Tango will bring support for 4G/LTE networks as well as 480*320 screen resolution, which means that it will be possible to make create QWERTY phones based on Windows Phone operating system. In addition, Tango will bring-in support for 1280*720 resolution.
Later next year Microsoft plans to unleash Windows Phone 8 operating system code-named Apollo. The company will announce the new OS at Mix 2012 in April, release Apollo SDK at E3 in June and launch its next-gen mobile operating system in August, 2012. It is expected that the Windows Phone 8 "Apollo" will finally take advantage of multi-core system-on-chips (such as Nvidia Tegra 2 or 3) and therefore WP-powered smartphones will be able to match modern handsets like Apple iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S II in terms of hardware features.
Microsoft plans to release "Apollo+1" iteration of Windows Phone 8 sometimes in 2013. It looks like in 2014 the company does not plan to introduce new Windows Phone platforms, but intends to show off something called "WPN" [Windows Phone Next] as well as launch something dubbed "Win9M" [Windows 9 Mobile]. Theoretically, Windows 9 Mobile may be a successor of Windows Phone operating system and represent a platform that will bridge Microsoft's PC and smartphone OSs.
Microsoft did not comment on the news-story.

Earlier today, part one of a new interview with John MacArthur was posted at Tim Challies's website. In the interview, John responds to several questions regarding the Strange Fire conference and Strange Fire book—all of which came directly from readers of Challies's blog.
Here's a quick summary of the issues tackled in part one:
You can read the interview here. We'll be sure to link to the second part when it becomes available.

What a courage to be open to respond that kind of questions. Off course in the conferences as in the book Dr MacArthur is inviting continuationists to expose their points and to compare them with what the Bible say, so he is now answering questions standing, facing with Bible in hand, committed to the Word and true to their convictions despite criticism. He is a great blessing to the church of today

I listened to Phil Johnson's interview with Michael Brown and really that was largely a case of 'Gotcha journalism', and I think if that's the best that they can do then they've got a lot to worry about. Why are so many people up in arms and unwilling to concede? I think John said it himself:
I think the best kept secret about Grace Church is that biblical preaching, strong, convicting, straight-forward, honest, deep biblical preaching, hard preaching produces soft people…soft preaching produces hard people Source: Securing Our Final Glory
Annexing onto Phil Johnson's analogy of a plants circulatory system and starting with Charles Fox Parham back in Topeka, to what now has encroached globally, there has been an obvious abundance of pullulation that has been distorting, poisonous and dangerous to the Christian landscape and GTY have done a brilliant job in combating that with great levels of discernment that could without doubt, only be possible with a strong and unwavering commitment to the scriptures. And that's why I can say it's 'obvious' because through symposium, it's just been made unmistakable.
There's many varied groups including charismatics who attempt to procrusteanize the gospel into their subjective version of it, or in contrast to this, and as John MacArthur has pointed out, they just leave scripture at the door altogether. And yet through this conference, clear biblical examples have been given to the essential questions that help us arrive at biblical answers whilst exposing the quacks with their claques and some of their ill-gotten numinous practices.
I haven't seen any more resounding demonstration of faithful, Christ centered and straight forward fellowship than what John MacArthur offers here. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are many lesser known church leaders who are just as faithful and experienced at exegeting the bible but it's a true blessing to believers the world over to have MacArthur' and the other GTY team members preaching made accessible through the medium of the internet. Just 25-30 years ago these things would not have been achievable. Surely, this is a great work of the Holy Spirit – Ephesians 4:11-12, Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, John 17:17
We need this kind of stuff! This makes the view of theology more microscopic. Milliions are swimming too far from the shore of truth. It is too unsafe at the deep ocean of continuationism. I think those who adhere at that belief do not feel secured in God's Word's power - weak in faith. (Although they see cessasionists the same way in an opposite manner). For me, at the end of the day, it is God and His Word will prevail more than anything else. Thank you for the boldness.
What baffles very many Christians all around the world is how any one person can claim that they KNOW that NONE of the experiences of more than 500 million people match the spiritual gifts described in the Bible.
Given the number of charismatics, and the enormous number of experiences that such a large number of people have, it is impossible to justify the absolute statements that John makes about all their experiences; e.g. "So, I don't deny that charismatics have lots of experiences. But I do deny the notion that those experiences match what the Bible describes as the miraculous and revelatory gifts of the New Testament. The modern experiences don't even come close."
Such sweeping claims discredit the valid points that John and others have made about the frauds who gain huge sums of money from vulnerable people. Those frauds should not be described as part of the charismatic movement, they are simply frauds.
I know for me. The Charismtics always made me feel as if I wasn't good enough or qualified as a Christian, they confused me becasue I didn't have the gift of Tongues, Healing or Prophecy etc. I always felt left out or like a second class Christian so to speak. It seemed that there must be something wrong with my faith. It's like I wasn't good enough or had a strong enough faith in my Christian walk and so that's why I didn't have the gifts of the Holy Spirit. With the help of Pastor John MacArthur and his study on the Charismatic Chaos and now the Strange Fire Book and Conference, I came to understand that the gifts of the early Church were signs to the validity of Jesus' Messiahship and to validate the Apostles ministry as God's spokesman for the spreading of the Gospel and the Church. I plan on getting the Book and DVD's once I save the money to buy them, times are a little tough now money wise. I know that my faith in Christ is sure and I know my place is secure in the Lord, Jesus Christ and I long for His soon return. Thanks Pastor John MacArthur for your faithfulness in the Lord and the study of His Word. God Bless you all. Come Lord Jesus Come!!!
Numbers are never the verification of truth. In fact, the opposite is true. Jesus warned that the broad road leading to destruction has "many" on it, but narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and "few" there are that find it. (Mat. 7:13-14). He also said "many" would come in His name and deceive "many" (Mat. 24:5). John MacArthur and those like him are certainly few in number. Satan is the deceiver of many. Don't be deceived.
Robin Lane (#6):
Whilst, technically, we can't say for certain that there aren't, somewhere on earth, people with genuinely Biblical charismatic gifts, I think we can prove beyond reasonable doubt that they don't exist.
Firstly, if such people do exist, why haven't they made themselves known to the wider church? Remember that the gifts are for the benefit of the church.
Secondly, those of us with considerable experience of the charismatic movement have never seen anything to suggest that such people exist. Thousands of people, both christian theologians and secular academics, have studied the movement since it began. It is inconceivable that, if such people exist, they haven't been spotted.
Thirdly, and this is the clincher for me. All charismatics and pentecostals trace their roots back to Topeka and the Azusa Street revival. They owe their existence to those events. And those events were demonstrably fraudulent. The origin of the movement was bad, and everything that grows from it is bad. It's like a polluted spring - you can divide the water into different streams and go a long way from the source, but it's still the same dirty water.
Regarding your point about frauds - you will find very few charismatics who distance themselves from the frauds. The reason is that the frauds believe and do the same things as the rest of the charismatic world. But, again, the key thing is that the people who started and grew the movement were also frauds. Will charismatics call Charles Parham, Agnes Ozman, and William Seymour frauds? Will charismatics call Aimee Semple McPherson, Oral Roberts, William Branham, and Kathryn Kuhlman frauds? Because if they will, they've just admitted that their whole movement is a fraud!
Amen to that! I was raised in the Charismatic Movement and it has "colored" my faith. It is true that even though it is a secondary issue it affects every aspect of life. I am continually grateful that God pulled me out of that muddy pit. I am so hungry for real, true, sound biblical teaching and doctrine, I feel like I've been robbed of the main course and have tried to grow on just the plate garnishes. Praise God for truth teachers like John Mac Arthur!
Thank you pastor John for your bold stand against this demonic onslaught against the Church. In South Africa something very evil is happening. Drug lords/Gang Leaders has catch onto the prosperity gospel and are now training up their own pastors in prison on Creflo Dollar and Benni Hinn teachings and just about all the TBN charlatans' teachings. When these guys are released they plant churches and have gang members testify about the criminal things they've done, but now jesus saved them. They do all these gimicks that they see on tv and call it the Spirit. They use these churches as a front for their drug trade and to "wash" their blood money.
These churches are filled with people who serve the "man of God". They are being taught that their destiny is tied to the "man of God" and therefore if they leave they will never be blessed.
The prosperity "gospel" is now a tool used by top gang leaders mostly among the "colored" people of South Africa to scam people ouit of their hard earned cash. Most of these people are poor people that struggle to make ends meat. many of the Pentecostal pastors are also now supporting these gangsters and are afraid to speak out against them.

Skip to comments.Most Popular Dog in America is...
Posted on 02/01/2013 10:23:13 AM PST by BO Stinkss
The American Kennel Club says the Labrador retriever is the nation's most popular dog for the 22nd straight year - for attributes that range from family-friendly pet to search-and-rescue nose.
For your list
What happened to Aussie's??
They used to be up in the top 10.
The anti-Pug conspiracy continues . . . .
Around 15 years ago someone dropped off a pregnant Lab here.
She had 8 pups and was a good mama dog. Six of them were various mutts but two looked to be all or nearly all Lab. When they were old enough, I put up a sign and gave away all of them within a few days. Every time I would give one away mama dog would try to follow the vehicle. Finally gave her and a pup away together.
The one I kept was a really sweet dog. He was also a useful dog out in the country where I live.
I never could understand why anyone would just throw away such a good dog.
No. 1: Hillary Clinton.
In my lifetime, I've had numbers one, two and three in that list. I've also had a mutt (combo of two and three) and now have a Labradoodle (combo of three and eight, standard poodle.)
All GREAT dogs, magnificent in their own ways, highly intelligent, family friendly and easily trainable, though the German Shepherds take the most work.
Their names were Jeepers (German Shepherd) Sanford (Golden Retriever, nicknamed Bonehead) Jerry (Shepherd Golden Retriever mix) and now Teddy, a Labradoodle.
Each one was an example of mans best friend.
I think the survey was on all dogs, not just female dogs...
I think Hillary is more of a beast than a dog.
Now Chelsea....
OMG, how could I forget my first dog, "Licker." Named such because he gave everyone a lick "kisses." Family already had him when I was born, he died when I was six or seven. What a great dog for a young boy.
HINT: choose Lab color to match the color of your carpeting and pants/furniture
Best dogs in the world are muts. Every one I've had has been a stray. The best of all was a Siberian Husky mix. Smartest and most polite dog ever. I don't cry over people as much as I do her all these years after she went over the rainbow. Screen is getting blurry now...
They can be refined:
or silly:
But almost all the time, happy;
I think dogs are just about the best of all of God's creations...that's probably why god spelled backwards is dog.
My yellow Lab is named Hoover like the vacuum. We got him at 13 weeks and the breeder already named him. It fits perfectly. His nose is to the ground after every one of our meals. He starts at my sons spot because he's the messiest. My kids love that dog more than us I think....
In my house,it would be the Nova Scotia Duck Toller.
Enough personality for any 3 or 4 dogs.
GSD. Actually Shiloh Shepherd who is majestic and dignified.
I love weiner dogs, got one at home who's half chihuahua, I guess they call it a chihweenie. He's friggin hilarious although he can be a jerk sometimes.
The best dogs I ever had were always Lab-Shepherd crosses.
Although, I loved my black lab, Shadow. She was the best friend and the name fit her perfectly...always beside me, always with me. Miss that dog...sniff sniff
My three would agree with you. Eddie, Harry, and Phillip. All named after royalty, as they should be.
My three would agree with you. Eddie, Harry, and Phillip. All named after royalty, as they should be.
Based on the number I see (including mine), I would say the most popular dog is the Mutt!
We have a lunatic. A lunatic is a Labrador. Ours is 18 this year sometime. He just had a stroke a few weeks ago, and Mrs. RQSR has nursed him back to the point he is running, and playing again albeit torqued, and unable to stand straight, and erect. He obviously feels good, and tries to leap, and run about as though he was a puppy whenever we come into the fenced front patio where we keep him for his security. His functions are impaired, but not to the point he needs to be euthanized by any means. We will keep him comfortable as we can to the end. He's a good boy, and always has been although typical of the breed he's nuts.
One of the first words our young daugheter taught our dog was "vacuum". We use it when we drop a bit of food in the kitchen and he comes running.
Either you couldn't pick a color OR you couldn't pick just one from the litter. Which one is it?! LOL!
No, seriously, she herds us where she wants us to go. She is in charge. She has us trained.
She fits her name, Duchess. A lady of royal bearing.
How can you not love that face!!
My Boxerbeagleshepherdbloodhoundbullterrier will do me just fine.
I love my boxer. She is a ton of fun and has an hilarious personality.
HINT: choose Lab color to match the color of your carpeting and pants/furniture
Boy, that is certainly true.
Because of shedding, when we went shelter shopping for a pooch in 2009, I specifically wanted a dog with short dark fur.
At the time, I was unaware that our yellow lab — AKA Super Shedding Machine — was about to choose us.
Best dog ever when I was a kid was our boxer Rex. He thought he was one of us kids.
What kind of beast is this one Hoodat. Brew Drees?
Have a 3 year old golden. Of you get within petting distance, you are committed for at least an hour. Dog is 70 pounds of pure unadulterated love. And we still train him.
When I had my big black lab/golden retriever cross, I was often asked whether he was dangerous (his deep bark was threatening to solicitors at the front door). I told them only to small children because his fast moving wagging tail could knock them over!
Got the 12-year-old Chocolate for my kids. She turned out to be a live wire and a great Agility and Obedience dog before we got into Hunting Tests. She did well there, too.
The 6-year-old Black arrived when we got serious about Hunting Tests. She has a lot more drive than the Choc (who is half conformation bred) but she's a loon (the judges nicknamed her Psycho Ruby). At 6 she has settled down a good deal and will be running in Finished soon.
The Yellow is 3, almost 4, and a complete sweetheart - a nice compromise between the Choc and the Black. All she wants to do is make me happy. We're thinking about breeding her to a very nice Yellow HRCH in Indiana.
None of them are very closely related, although the Yellow and the Black share one famous ancestor, 2xNAFC 2xCNAFC FC CFC Ebonstar Lean Mac. But that's true of just about any high-up field dog, at least in the last 10 years or so. The Choc is descended from a different national field champion, and her full brother is a GRHRCH. But she came to retrieving late - age 6 - and certain aspects of the game were tough for her (like handling. She still doesn't like to handle.)
Oops! I thouhgt it was the hotdog.
And thats why hogs are down the list.
Amen! Silliest but intensely faithful breed. Gotta have more than one.
"But the best dog is . . ."
. . . whatever dog you own. Doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks. (Or you are not a real dog person.)
Lost my Australian Shepherd in late 2011 after 18 years. Still haven't replaced her.
"I don't know what kind of dog he is, but before I cut off his tail and painted him yellow he was an alligator."
1. Lab (black)
2. Lab (golden)
3. Lab (chocolate)
4. Cocker spaniel
5. Irish setter
6. Collie-based mutt

This week, while in New York for the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs Esther Brimmer participated in a digital conversation at the UN Week Digital Media Lounge -- a fully-wired gathering spot for digital journalists, NGO representatives, and bloggers at the 92nd Street Y. During the discussion, Mark Goldberg of the UN Dispatch and Robb Skinner of the UN Foundation posed questions on the Millennium Development Goals and President Obama's new development strategy, which will be unveiled in his remarks at the MDG Plenary Session later today. Assistant Secretary Brimmer underscored the need to make more progress in the areas of women and children's health and the need to decrease maternal and child mortality. She also discussed the Obama Administration's renewed emphasis on multilateral diplomacy. You can watch the video here.

To reach our MDGs is not only the resonssiblity of the Donors community it is the responssiblity of all. After Spt11/01 the number of people dronwing on poverty hit 10 Million, now the with the Help of the UN, Donors Community and NOGs this number has been reduce 5 Millions, and that is a great job. Leaders of the Developing conuties have the same responssiblity to help their people. I am so optimistc about the 5 years ahead,and the coperative data and the effort will lead for the common responssilility.

Ready or Not - Page 7
Powell hiked down to the junction just below, and waited. Minutes later, Roes appeared and Powell was there to direct him the right way. "It was marked correctly," said Powell. "But I could see where you could go the wrong way."
Everyone hopped in cars and blasted down to the White Rock Gap aid station (mile 54).
At White Rock Gap, a course volunteer who had been pulling flagging on the early part of the course said she had seen Wardian, heading the wrong way, toward Sherando Lake. "He was not happy, but I sent him back up the trail," she said. It would turn out that Wardian had actually beaten us to the parking lot on the Parkway, making the correct turn at the trail junction, but exiting the wrong way from the parking lot (i.e. not crossing the road). The trail took him downhill, and he had to climb back up, adding an estimated tough three to four miles to his race.
On cue, Roes appeared on the singletrack at White Rock Gap aid station (mile 53.6), swapped water bottles with his parents Sharon and Don, learned of his now-first-place position and disappeared into the fog on the Parkway, for the final nine miles, all road. Next arrived Flaherty, followed by Wardian, Sharman and then Allen.
As spectators encouraged him to "Stick with it," an agitated Wardian said, "Oh, I'll finish!" He grabbed fresh bottles and some gels from his team, and was off.
"Geoff will probably slow down now that he knows he's in the lead [and, in a show of sportsmanship, let Wardian catch up] or wait for him before the finish," said Mackey, nursing a Stella Artois, as crews packed up to catch the frontrunners at the finish. "I wouldn't do it, but Geoff's a nice guy." He was only half joking.
After several more rolling miles on the Parkway, then a one-mile 15-percent-grade descent, the final three miles climbed a sustained 10-percent road grade. Roes ran all alone, with nearly a half hour on the pack, and would not have to be looking over his shoulder. He did not, of course, wait for anyone, and crossed the foggy finish line in 8:58.
"I had to deal with a dozen lows," he said after catching his breath. "I kept telling myself that I was taking a break [from racing] after this. This race felt longer than some 100s. I felt like I was out there for 20 hours. It was not close to my strongest race physically, but in many ways it was the most satisfying race I've done."
Behind him, with around six miles to go, Wardian, Flaherty, Sharman and Allen were lined out within minutes of one another. "Before the race, I said that I wouldn't want to have to race that last section," Sharman would say after the race. "But that's exactly what happened."
Fog prevented them from seeing one another, which made chasing down a competitor difficult. On the Parkway section, Wardian was on fire. "I was clicking off 6:20s," he said. "If I blew up, I didn't care." Sure enough, he reeled in Flaherty, and took second in 9:20, followed by Flaherty (9:22), Sharman (9:23) and Allen (9:26).

Tools Workshop Project.
it has been discussed that we need a new and radical approach to the way we use the Tools Workshop.
It has been proposed that a project be created to maintain the Workshop and the tools therein, guarantee security and address some H&S issues.
There is a new volunteer, Fanny, who has been tidying the workshop and has expressed an interest in taking on this project.
This should be sorted at the next Cafe and Events meeting? or do we think its an Artists Facilities project?

Taking the Message to Congress
A guide to communicating with Congress from the American Society for Microbiology Office of Public Affairs
Scientific societies, research organizations and health groups advocate for increases in research and public health programs during the budget and appropriations process and provide policy statements, information and resource materials. Advocacy for research can only be successful if the public and research community are part of the effort. Communications from the public are key to influencing research budgets. The ASM Legislative Action Center is available online by clicking here. and makes contacting members of Congress easy. The site allows members to send e-mail messages to their congressional representatives. The Office of Public Affairs posts legislative alerts and resource materials at key times during the budget process and directs members to the site so they can send a message to Congress.
Communicating with Congress:
The best way to communicate with Congress is though personalized messages. Senators, Representatives and members of their staff attach great importance to personal messages because they show a serious effort on the part of a constituent. The most critical thing to remember when communicating with your Senators or Representative is timeliness. Knowing when action is pending on an appropriation or legislative issue is essential. Express your views in a way your legislators can understand, but make it clear that you possess specialized knowledge that gives you an important perspective on the issue.
Here are some simple guidelines to follow when communicating with Congress:
- Your message should be short and to the point. Members are inundated with hundreds, even thousands of messages a day so brevity is appreciated.
- Discuss only one issue in your message
- Be sure to identify yourself and include your contact information to enable the member of Congress to follow up with you on your issue.
- Do not just demand action in your message, give the member of Congress a course of action, i.e., a way to vote or a sample of legislative language that can be incorporated into the bill.
- Do not over complicate you message with highly technical "science speak." Think of your audience as intelligent students, who need a clear and simple overview of the topic. Messages that include personal examples are the most effective.
- Tie your message to the member's district, state or to the good of the country. Messages looking for entitlements for an individual are never successful. Explain to the member of Congress, for example, that increased funding for life sciences research would benefit the entire country and humankind, not just individual scientists.
The ASM's Legislative Action Center is an advocacy tool that allows ASM members to send messages to their Representative and Senators about issues of importance to the microbiological sciences.
Meeting with Congress:
Meeting with a member of Congress is another effective way to communicate your message. Remember that the member has a District Office as well as a Washington office. Scheduling meeting in their District Office makes the chance of getting an appointment easier.
Here are a few guidelines to follow when planning a meeting with a member of Congress:
- Schedule the appointment three to four weeks in advance. Some offices require that you mail or fax a formal letter of request. Call the office for their scheduling procedures.
- Provide an overview of what will be discussed at the meeting.
- Know your issues. Do some background research on possible legislation affecting research and where the bill is, in terms of consideration at the time of your meeting, i.e., committee, floor. Also know the background of the member of Congress, read their biography and know their past history of votes on your issue.
- Arrive and leave on time. Be aware that members of Congress and their staff are extremely busy, so delays may occur. You appointment should last about 15 minutes.
- Do not be disappointed if you meet with a staff member instead of the member of Congress. Congressional staffers are knowledgeable and advise the member on legislation. If you convey your message clearly to the staff member, in all likelihood he or she will then brief the member of Congress.
- Address you issue clearly. Since you will only have about 15 minutes, it is important to explain exactly why you requested the meeting.
- Be prepared. If necessary draft a one to two page summary that you can leave after your meeting.
- Follow up your meeting with a brief thank you note outlining the details of your visit.
The ASM Office of Public Affairs is a resource for information regarding issues and legislation that affect microbiologists. If you have any questions about communicating with Congress please e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Public Affairs staff can assist you with information and in setting up a meeting with your member of Congress. For assistance, e-mail Meghan O'Brien at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thank you for being an advocate for research and public health.

Your first airplane and your first kiss. Good or bad, you'll remember them always.
You may be in the throes of primary training and quite possibly sick to death of yanking and banking your 172, or your Champ, or your Cherokee. But one day you'll think of that trusty steed and be nostalgic for those days when you were bumping around the pattern trying to nail a perfect landing. That first airplane is the one that opens all the doors for you–the one that shows you what you're capable of doing as a pilot.
You might even get to revisit those days, as I did last week.
When I started on the road to a pilot certificate, the local flight school had the standard Cessna 172s and Piper PA-28-180s, but it also had a small fleet of Socata Tampico TB9s–low-wing 160-hp four-seat trainers manufactured in France. The TB9s came by the nickname "Slow-Pico" honestly, but they were stable and fairly easy to fly. And they had cool gull-wing doors on both sides. They looked like sports cars–like something John DeLorean would have designed if he'd been an aeronautical engineer. They looked fast, even if they weren't.
I got my ticket in a TB9 and continued to fly them until 2005, when the flight school decided to update its fleet with glass-cockpit 172s. I estimate that around 300 of my 700 or so hours are in TB9s, and I have around 10 hours in the TB9's big sister, the Trinidad TB20. When they went away, I missed them for awhile, but I moved on to the Piper Archer and, eventually, to the Cherokee 140 I own today.
Last week I climbed back into the left seat of a TB9 to take a flight for a story that will appear in an upcoming issue of our sister publication, AOPA Pilot. N28216 is actually one that I flew quite a bit in primary training. It's still based here at KFDK, although my other love, 5557J, has since moved on.
Sitting in 216's left seat was both alien and familiar, all at once. On the takeoff roll, I was a little heavy-handed on rotation and got a blip of the stall horn (shades of my student days!). The power-off stall was as gentle as I remembered; the power-on stall everybit as jaw-clenching. (The airplane doesn't want to stall, and you seem to hang vertically for long moments until the break finally happens.) Coming back into the pattern, I again reverted to the good old days and was too high on the final approach. I wondered if I'd thump it on to make my trip down memory lane complete, but thankfully I did not.
That flight triggered a lot of memories. My checkride…my first flight with passengers…a trip to Ocean City, Maryland, with my two children…all in a TB9. The little gull-winged airplane started me on a wonderful journey. So treat your trainer kindly. You're gonna miss it when it's gone.–Jill W. Tallman

David Akers (1975/88): The 1878-CC is the third rarest CC-Mint Eagle and is, in fact, one of the rarest dates in the entire $10 series in terms of both overall rarity and condition rarity. (It is ranked just below the top 10% in rarity according to average grade and rarity according to frequency of appearance.) The 1878-CC is extremely rare in full EF. Above that grade, it is prohibitively rare and no specimen that I have seen or heard of even approaches full mint state.

Buy Nokia, Prepare RIM's Grave (Déjà vu Edition)
For whatever reason, something Bruce said when I saw him play Born in the U.S.A. during the Iraq War stuck with me. Without any fanfare, Bruce introduced the song by saying, and I paraphrase here slightly, I wrote this song about the Vietnam War, I don't want to have to write it again .
While my voice certainly carries nowhere near the same social weight as Springsteen's, I feel as if I am in a similar situation.
I wrote the article, Buy Nokia, Prepare RIM's Grave , and, sadly, I have to write it again. Or, at least some fresh variation of it.
On Monday morning, TheStreet's Richard Saintvilus nicely articulated the present state of affairs at Research in Motion (RIMM) :
The saddest part of the situation is that not only do
ardent RIMM longsrefuse to accept what Wall Street already assumes to be true, even worse, they refuse to accept what the company's own management has been telling them over the past couple of years: It's over.
Early last year, RIM had a small, but fighting chance at life; instead its former co-CEOs and board of directors chose death.
For as bad as things are at Nokia(NOK) -- and they're pretty bad -- RIM makes Nokia look like the Finnish Flash. (A tip of the cap if you catch that hockey reference.) Yet, for some reason, investors treat Nokia much the same way as they do RIM.
Last week, Nokia spiked on bogus rumors that Samsung was going to make a play for it. I didn't blink much as the stock popped and closed above the $3 mark this past Friday. On Monday, after Samsung shot down the story, Nokia gave back everything it gained and then some.
If you have followed RIM's implosion at all, you know that the stock has experienced a whole series of dead cat bounces, largely triggered by M&A speculation.
It's unfortunate that investors perpetuate this pseudo-similarity between the two companies.
While it's anybody's guess what will happen on the ground, Nokia's response to its problems could not be more different from RIM's non-reaction to its implosion.
First, Nokia did not make a better-late-than-never change at the top. Relative to RIM, it moved swiftly, ousting Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo in 2010. And, maybe more importantly, Nokia did not hire a dry and boring leader from within like RIM did. Instead, it made the historic move of bringing a non-Fin in as CEO -- Stephen Elop from Microsoft(MSFT) .
Elop is a heavy hitter, having come from Microsoft's business division where he was responsible for Office. Nokia didn't fool around in that regard. And neither did Elop.

5 High-Yield Stocks That Look Ready to Pop
>>5 Dividend Stocks Itching to Pay You More
There are two pretty important metrics that measure just how well off income investors are: how much they're getting and how much they're losing. With rates being held down near historic lows, how much they're getting isn't much. But how much they're losing from inflation is.
That's creating a toxic environment for income-seekers right now, especially in assets that are perceived as "low risk" -- like treasuries.
There are some big alternatives, though. For income investors, stocks offer some attractive dividend yields (for major indices it's the highest in two decades, in fact). And some are predisposed to tack big capital gains on top of that. I know that's a big claim, but the data bears it out:
Going back over the last decade, buying heavily shorted large and mid-cap stocks (the top two quartiles of all shortable stocks by market capitalization) would have beaten the S&P 500 by 9.28% each and every year. That's some material outperformance during a decade when decent returns were very hard to come by.
It's worth noting, though, that market cap matters a lot -- short sellers tend to be right about smaller names, with micro-caps delivering negative returns when the same strategy was used.
>>5 Breakout Stock Plays: Must-See Charts
Today, we'll replicate the most lucrative side of this strategy with a look at five big-name stocks with high dividend yields that short sellers are piled into right now. These stocks could be prime candidates for a short squeeze in the final push of 2012.
In case you're not familiar with the term, a "short squeeze" is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which estimates the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed.
Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason (economic or otherwise) that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year.
Without further ado, here's a look at our list of large-cap short squeeze opportunities .
Royal Bank of Canada
First up is Canada's largest bank, Royal Bank of Canada (RY) . With more than 15 million clients in 51 countries and over CAD 800 billion, RY is also one of the biggest diversified banks in all of North America. And just try getting this kind of yield out of a major U.S. bank -- RY currently pays out a 4.18% dividend yield. That hasn't kept short sellers from piling into this stock, however. Currently, RY's short interest ratio comes in at 22, which indicates it would take more than a month of buying pressure for short sellers to cover their bets at current levels.

As part of USA Field Hockey's Post- Collegiate HARROWines series, staff member Kait Mitchell catches up Rutgers head field hockey coach and U.S. National Indoor Team member Meredith Long for a quick Q & A.
"Mm, can you move that dresser over there?"
"No, a little more to the right."
As a new abode owner and Harrow Cup captain, Meredith Long has a knack for strategizing, which was noted when she balanced our interview and uprooting her furniture simultaneously. It helps that the U.S. National Indoor athlete has a substantial amount of practice with the art of organizing. As the current head coach of Rutgers University, Long has practice picking and perfecting squads since her days of mentoring field hockey players at the University of Vermont followed by coaching at Towson University. A member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association and a 2005 University of Maryland grad, Long ran through her Rolodex of recruiting and coaching expertise to make her Harrow Cup team Titan worthy of $10,000. So whether a sofa or an athlete, Long will find their perfect placement.
KM: What tactics will you pull from your coaching experience and into your new leadership role as a Cup Captain?
ML: My team is built from quite a few athletes who I have played with in college and on the U.S. National Indoor Team. During the draft I kept this image or this type of player I wanted on my team in my mind. I feel really good about my selection and the certain style I wanted to employ. You would definitely characterize us as an up-tempo team. We have quality mids and lots of speed from up front. The Titans will have a fast style of play and be on the counter attack.
KM: What has training been like with everyone so spread out?
ML: The phase we're heading into now is to make sure we're having training sessions as a group. Since the draft the players have taken it upon themselves to practice. Some are even involved in High Performance. We aren't too spread out so in May we'll be meeting at Rutgers to go over tactical stuff like penalty corner and just playing together. I'm looking to identify each player's strengths and put them in a position that complements the team. We're creating a structure and taking our training seriously. We're looking to win.
KM: Can you give us a clue as to what the Titan jerseys will look like?
ML: The jerseys will have a grey Titan logo with bright orange trim. We're also in the process of making shirts and fan gear. We're anticipating a pretty big group of support in the stands.
KM: Out of curiosity, as a philosophy major do you have any sort of additional edge over your opponents?
ML: As a player and a coach I try to create a culture and an environment where a team can really be successful and believe in what they're trying to do. I'm constantly conscious of projecting contagious enthusiasm to make that environment a reality and pull from my philosophy background to do so.
KM: What will you do with your earnings if your team wins the 2013 Harrow Cup?
ML: I haven't quite decided that yet. I have thought about using that money and somehow giving back to the sport and continuing to grow the game even more. Or who knows maybe I'll take a trip to Disney World.
KM: To you, why is it important to encourage post-collegiate hockey?
ML: It's really exciting that women our age who once no longer had a real outlet like this have an opportunity to get competitive again. We have athletes who are dusting off their sticks and getting back out there. How exciting is that?

hey tk!
we at 'forestx incorporated' are wondering what is the plan for august?
we are specifically wondering what, when, are there any gaps between shows, and can things sometimes happen in the gallery?
Our festival programme (a showcase on three 2-week exhibitions) has been planned specifically with the EAF in mind. It presents contemporary work that spans a number of mediums and genre and is chosen for its critical, conceptual and aesthetic qualities.
In the first of our three shows, the Hungarian – born, Oxford – based installation artist Katalin Hausel will take on the gallery space for two weeks and build an installation that will draw both on the process of making and the specifics of the gallery space. Katalin's materially-intensive installations have been exhibited in Germany, US and Hungary. This is her first solo exhibition in U.K.
EXHIBITION DATES: 26 July – 7 August
Katalin will be in residence during the two-week exhibition and is available for interviews.
This is followed by a two-week exhibition by the French composer, theorist and visual artist Szajner, whose installation and sound piece [from this gleaming, words are born...] at the TotalKunst deals with contingencies and instabilities of 'text' and 'reading'. The work is part of the artist's ongoing micro-installations "Suspended Readings". Szajner's re-issued electronic music recordings will be also available during the exhibition.
EXHIBITION DATES: 8 -21 August
Szajner will not be available in person during this time.
22nd August – 5th September -Hitler's flying saucers next to my mums' house – the proof! iPod paintings of the internet conspiracy theory "photographic evidence" (and a few obvious fakes) for the project "Considering Silesia" by Anglo-German painter Mik Godley.
26th August Art Late- Artist Discussion with Michael Bowdidge and Mik Godley Plus live performance from Marie-Louise Plum
Marie Louise Plum- The interactive live-art installation consists of two artists and members of the public joined in masked conversation. Masked and robed, the artists sit on chairs conversing, and beckon to passing public to sit and join in the conversation. The purpose is to encourage unprepared, improvised discussion and stimulate imagination. We might also investigate props. Discussion will always base around lucid states, memories, imagination, surrealism and the future.

Thanks to a heroic teacher who "talked down" a 16-year-old with a shotgun, nobody was killed at a rural California high school yesterday. One Taft High School student was critically wounded, but is now in stable condition. Wounded in the forehead by a shotgun pellet, science teacher Ryan Heber talked to the shooter, letting 28 students flee the room. With help from a campus supervisor, Kim Lee Fields, who'd heard the shots fired, he got the boy to surrender to police.
About half of California's high schools, 16 percent of its middle schools, and 5 percent of its elementary schools have police or resource officers on campus, and 83 percent of the officers at high schools are armed, according an EdSource survey, reports the Christian Science Monitor.
Taft High's armed resource officer wasn't at school because he was snowed in. However, police reportedly were at the school within 60 seconds of a 911 call from a neighbor, who saw the boy enter a side door with the shotgun.
The Kern County Sheriff's office is investigating reports the suspect threatened students last year, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Angela Hayden, whose 16-year-old daughter attends Taft, said the suspected shooter allegedly threatened to kill her daughter and other students last year while they were on a school bus during a field trip to Universal Studios.
"He was telling everyone that he had a list of people who messed with him over the years and that he was going to kill them," Hayden told The Times. She said the boy allegedly said his brother would be the first victim.
Hayden said her daughter complained about the incident to a vice principal and that the boy was expelled for several days. After the boy returned, Hayden said, she called the principal wanting to know why he was not permanently barred from campus. The principal declined to discuss the punishment, citing privacy concerns, according to Hayden.
"Everybody knew about this kid," Hayden said.
The shooter used his older brother's shotgun, Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. He had extra ammunition in his pocket.
In response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the White House is now considering federal funding for schools that want to hire police officers and increase surveillance, California Sen. Barbara Boxer told NBC. The NRA, derided for proposing armed guards at schools, isn't going to go along if it's part of a bill also calling for a ban on high-capacity ammunition clips.

NAND flash revenue in two key applications, solid state drives (SSDs) and video capture from digital video cameras (DVCs), will see compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of over 100% through 2012, reports. This is projected to overcome some of the weaknesses in other segments of the NAND flash market and drive overall growth to 30% CAGR.
"The top four applications for NAND flash will remain MP3 players and PMPs, mobile handsets, after-market cards, and USB Flash Drives, with a combined market share of over 80% over the next couple of years. This percentage will drop to about 70% by 2012, as solid state drives (SSDs) and video capture from digital video cameras (DVCs), grow in importance," said Jim McGregor, an In-Stat analyst.
According to In-Stat, among the NAND flash market share leaders, including Samsung, Toshiba and Hynix, all lost market share in 2007. Smaller share competitors, Micron and Intel, each gained share.
Worldwide NAND flash revenues are likely to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.7% from 2007–2012 to reach $61 billion.

Heres the helmet I plan on using, Im keeping the red star an painting the green black
Day 1
What I started with:
Then I drilled them out to 3/16 using a drill press, unfortuneatly I had to eye-ball so you can tell some aren't 100% dead center
Then I hit a snag, I was tapping one of them and since I drilled rather small I had to muscle the points through the steel and well.....it kind of broke and tried to take it out but failed miserably I really only need two and have eight but it still sucks, because it was one of the few that was damn near center and I could have used it in the future.
Oh well, I got to sanding down the ones I'd be using so I can paint them better and clean them up a bit and they came out pretty cool on their own, silver bullet style.
But thats it for my first day of working on it, anyone have suggestions and how I can go about doing a better tap job? I mean I worked my way about half way through till it broke, but it wasnt easy since it is a hand tool and cutting through steel isn't easy to begin with.

As the newest member of the Speaking of Faith staff (I've been working for the show for almost 3 months now), I'm still navigating the somewhat awkward transition from fan to employee. This week's upcoming show really brought that into relief.
Before I got this job, Whale Songs and Elephant Loves was perhaps my favorite show in the history of SOF. I remember listening to it more than a year ago, in my car, and there was that amazing moment when Krista points out how hard it is for people to really understand that their lives affect the survival of animals half-way around the globe. And Katy Payne gets very quiet and almost whispers, "Here we are on the radio; our task is to make this real. This planet, this planet is the only place where we have this kind of life. Let's not blow it." That just knocked me out. It seems so obvious, but when she states it that way I can't help but marvel at the idea. This planet is the only place where we have this kind of life.
Flash forward about a year, and it's now my job to get in contact with Katy Payne to find out if we need to update anything for the rebroadcast of the show. I dial her number, listen to it ring, and then suddenly that distinctive voice, somehow fragile and strong at the same time, is coming through my telephone. I tell her who I am and why I'm calling and she answers my questions, and I'm aware the whole time of how strangely small the world is, that a year ago I was marveling at the words over the radio of this woman who's spent her life listening to whales and elephants, and now I've called her up and she's listening to me. I'm almost surprised to find out she's real. I thank her and say goodbye and she says, "Well, thank you. I loved that show. I think I'll celebrate by listening to it again myself."

Remaking the GOP
The country is more than just more multiracial, it has shifted fundamentally in its practice of tolerance.
While white Americans may lament the challenges of coping in a much more diverse society, they recognize the entire economy is dependent on Hispanic and Asian immigrants. And by winning 70% of their votes, President Obama demonstrated the GOP's anti-immigration makes it unelectable, even among socially conservative and more prosperous Hispanics and Asians.
Gay bashing and ending funding for Planned Parenthood are for GOP politicians aspiring to perpetual minority status.
While downplaying GOP positions on "core pro-family issues" would soften GOP support among southern protestant conservatives, those folks are a dwindling share of the electorate.
In the last election, social issues got trumped by immigration reform among generally Catholic Hispanics and economic issues among blue-collar northern whites. And most white professionals, who may live according to those values, increasingly are disinclined to support the regulation of private lives or deny others' legal protections and full access to reproductive choices.
On the economy, the GOP should offer attractive alternatives to the liberal agenda, not where it has succeeded, but where it has failed -- on growth and jobs.
Favoring tax cuts for the wealthy is a proven loser and personal income tax reform is a political dead end.
The Bush cuts were proportionately more generous to low and middle income folks -- it was those that created an America where 50% pay little or no taxes. Obama's recent victories merely enshrined that and jacked up taxes for the well off.
The new tax law makes deductions benefiting most ordinary folks -- like mortgage interest, state taxes and charitable contributions -- only marginally valuable to families earning over $400,000. Tightening up the personal income tax code would overwhelmingly raise low- and middle-class taxes, and that's a nonstarter.
The corporate tax code needs fixing. Many businesses -- especially, domestic manufacturers and small businesses -- are often more heavily taxed than competitors abroad, while large multinationals and some other players get off easily. That bias exports middle-class jobs and linking tax equity to growth should be the GOP stalking cry.
More fundamentally, though, Obama has fallen victim to fallacies in conventional wisdom on free trade, energy independence and the environment, and those slow the recovery. Early in the tenures of Presidents Reagan and Obama, unemployment reached double digits, but at this point in his presidency the Gipper had the economy growing at a 6.3 percent annual pace.
The $500 billion dollar trade deficit is a huge drain on growth. China accounts for the lion share of that gap and oil imports the rest, despite recent surges in oil and gas production from on-shore fracking.

AG Holder Bombs in First Speech
This past week, Eric Holder, the nation's first black Attorney General, got off to a rocky start. What could he be thinking, I asked myself as I watched the speech on C-Span. As he read his speech without the use of teleprompters or the dramatic flair of his friend, President Obama, Holder fumbled in his attempt to draw upon knowledge of history and instruct his fellow citizens about how to overcome the problem of race in our land. His timing and his delivery made me cringe as I watched his remarks. I knew instantly that Holder's ineptness would reflect badly on his boss and the entire Obama administration.
Perhaps Holder's problem began with a subtle misunderstanding of the role of the Attorney General. No, I am not talking about an understanding of the job description. I am talking about having a proper respect for how those greats in the Attorney General office helped change their world. Despite the lackluster performance of several recent AGs, this position has been responsible for setting the tone for both law enforcement and the direction of the nation's concept of justice. For example, Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy served in this post from 1961 to 1964. He worked with his older brother, President John Kennedy, during the Cuban missile crisis and helped establish the legal foundations for the lasting impact of the civil rights movement. Kennedy's visionary courage concerning the rights of blacks got him assassinated - just as civil rights champions, Dr. King, and Bobby's brother - J.F.K.
Therefore, I was shocked by Holder's statement last week in which he made the following statement, "...Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards." Perhaps Holder's view of the AG function was tainted by a combination of pride (in his own achievements) and personal racial bitterness. I am not qualified to assess the root causes for the flaws in his logic, yet as an African American I cringed when this affluent armchair intellectual called us a nation of cowards.
Cowardice could hardly describe the sacrifice of Medgar Evers, Rosa Parks, and thousands of nameless Americans that marched with Dr. King. Hundreds of martyrs, both black and white, gave up their lives for the advancement of colored people in the last century. In addition, America is changing culturally. I pastor a church that has 22 different nationalities worshiping together. This weekend, my church members chose to spend time together - not just talking about race - we are working together to change America. White families are adopting disadvantaged black children and interracial couples are raising their families in the safety of our social network.
Even if someone agrees that Americans should be even more courageous in righting the collective wrongs of our culture, we have come a long way. My fear is that Holder was making an announcement "in code" or a veiled threat to right some "imagined" wrongs that many of us do not have on our radar screen. These wrongs probably go far beyond the race issue.
Instead of celebrating the nation's destruction of the ultimate glass ceiling for minorities - electing the first black president, Holder misjudged the unique opportunity he had been given to intensify the nation's racial reconciliation efforts. If he had been encouraging, he could have opened the hearts of millions of Americans and gained countless allies. Every parent knows that you can get a baby to take its first, bold steps easier by lovingly calling its name than by threatening a bewildered kid, who is mastering new skills.
Perhaps it was wishful thinking for me to believe that Holder would have set a tone of celebration that would motivate people to take more groundbreaking steps concerning placing African-Americans in critical roles in the nation. Holder resembled a specialist that had rushed out of the dusty back rooms of the legal world to deliver a book report instead of the manifesto it could have been. Filled with pride of learning, he forgot to be a statesman. I hope he will analyze his mistake and avoid "hoof and mouth disease" in the future.
Despite Holder's hang-ups, the Justice Department's Black History Month celebration ended on the right note with the singing of the National Negro Anthem (Lift Every Voice and Sing). Written by black lawyer and civil rights activist James Weldon, the song thanks God for justice and strength to blacks. It also pledges allegiance to both God and our nation. I offer the last two stanzas of the song as my prayer for all Americans - black, white, Hispanic and Asian.
GOD of our weary years, GOD of our silent tears
Thou Who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path we pray
Lest our feet, stray from the places our GOD where me met Thee
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand

Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday announced several new desktop processors that increase performance if the company's affordable grades of chips. In particular, AMD increased performance of dual-core and quad-core central processing units (CPUs) and introduced a new six-core product.
As expected, the three key desktop processors announced today are AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (hexa-core, 3.0GHz/3.50GHz TurboCore with 9MB of cache), AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition (quad-core, 3.50GHz, 8MB of cache) as well as AMD Phenom II X2 560 (dual-core, 3.30GHz, 7MB cache). The chips will cost approximately $250, $190 and $105 in the order of mentioning.
The new Phenom II X6 1075T broadens AMD's lineup of six-core chips, which prove to be pretty popular among enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the models X4 970 BE and X2 560 BE are AMD's fastest quad-core and dual-core chips, respectively.
Considering the fact that TurboCore clock-speed of the six-core model 1075T will be 3.50GHz, the difference in price between it and the quad-core Phenom II X4 970 BE is rather significant as the chips have equal performance in applications that require up to four threads; as a result, AMD needed to avoid internal competition between six-core and quad-core products.
AMD decided to noteworthy update of the microprocessor lineup in late September, in the last days of the third quarter. The move shows that the world's second largest supplier of microprocessors is gearing up for Christmas sales season and attempts to strengthen its product offerings. It is also remarkable that AMD did not introduce any new CPUs specifically for back-to-school season this year.
In addition, AMD also started to sell several other chips, including quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 645 (3.1GHz, 2MB L2 cache) microprocessor that will cost around ~$100 and will be aimed at advanced systems in budget.

BOXHOLM – Linda Rae Swanson, 69, of Boxholm, passed away surrounded by her family Monday, January 21, 2013 at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames.
She was born July 10, 1943 in Storm Lake, Iowa, the daughter of Lake W. and Irene E. (Anderson) Olson. She married Charles D. Swanson on May 15, 1971 at United Methodist Church in Odebolt, IA.
Linda retired from nursing to raise her family, after serving 15 years as head nurse and later as a relief supervisor at Trinity Regional Hospital in Fort Dodge. She also worked for Krakau Insurance Agency in Boxholm for several years following her retirement. She attended Boyer country school through the 6th grade, and graduated from Odebolt-Arthur High School with the class of 1961. She went on to attend the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in Sioux City where she obtained her nursing degree in 1964.
Linda's family was her life's passion and she was an avid supporter of her children throughout school and sports activities. Linda always looked forward to the holidays and special occasions when her family could be together. After Charles's father Reuben passed away, Linda took her mother-in-law to her appointments and school activities watching her grandchildren. She enjoyed being the "town nurse" and "community chauffeur" for church and other ladies activities. When her parents entered a nursing home she faithfully tried to visit them weekly. Linda embraced the blessing of being a Grandma and had a very special place in her heart for her grandchildren.
Linda was a very active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Boxholm, serving as a current council member. She also held several leadership roles with women's groups, Vacation Bible School, and was one of the leaders for the church's long running Swedish Supper meal.
Survivors include her husband Charles D. Swanson of Boxholm; two sons, Erik C. Swanson and wife Tara of Omaha, NE and Paul W. Swanson and wife Emily of Winchester, IL; mother Irene Olson of Odebolt; sister Betty J. Sullivan and her husband James of Ft. Dodge; three grandchildren Aaron, Presley and Chandler Swanson all of Winchester, IL and nieces and nephews, Stephen, Stefanie, Kellie, Daniel, Sheila, Shelly, and Sue. She was preceded in death by her father, and grandparents Paul and Esther Anderson.
Funeral services will be held 10:30 a.m. Friday, January 25, 2013, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Boxholm. Pastor Rod Meyer will officiate. Burial will be at Prairie Lawn Cemetery in Boxholm. Visitation will be held Thursday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Carson Stapp Funeral Home in Ogden. For online obituaries and condolences visit: www.carsonstappfuneralhome.com.
Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

Here's how RW members rated this race (59 votes).
In short: Well organised raceIn full: Well organised race, which is good value and the buff at the end was a nice touch considering how cheap the entry is.If this is local to you then is a good race for you as it is well run/marshalled, challenging, but good fun.2.5 laps is a tough thing to run, but that is simply my aversion to running laps.The parking, registration and start are a decent distance apart.Overall a good race.Date of review: December 1, 2013
In short: Great start to the XC season - and a rare opportunity for women to run long in XC, thanksIn full: My first time at this event - but probably won't be the last. It was a great course, which I imagine would be brilliant in the mud. It was a very dry week and so the ground was dry and spikes were a bit excessive - but good to give them an airing. Marshals really supportive. Great event. Thank you very much. Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: A proper X country courseIn full: Tough, challenging 2 lap course. Excellently marked out and marshalled. No concrete parts so can wear spikes. Great preparation for X country season although would hestitate to recommend it to a first timer.Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: Great place to run, great organisationIn full: The friendliest race organising team of any race I've run. Congrats to the race director and the whole team. I was caught up in traffic on the way to the race, but when I managed to pick up my race number, the organisers found me a place to park asap, and looked after my kit so I made it to the start line on time. It's a brilliant course - tough but it's easier year 2 than year 1. I'll do this again without any doubt. Fantastic, fantastic race IMO.Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Challenging X-Country race in beautiful park setting In full: Back for my second attempt at this early season x-country race. Recovering from a nasty cold caught the previous weekend and nearly didn't do it but was glad I did. Lovely weather and hugely encouraging marshals all the way round. Definitely one for the calendar.Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Excellent race on a very scenic course In full: My first cross country race - enjoyed it but thought I was dying on the first lap so glad to see from other reviews other people found it tough as well ! Two and a bit laps make it a good race for spectators and there was lots of general support. Marshals were great and a very nice medal. Will be back next year.Date of review: October 21, 2009
In short: Great race in a great settingIn full: My first attempt at cross country and I seemed to do better on the numerous uphill sections than on the downhill slopes. A challenging, but enjoyable course. Clearly a lot of careful preparation had gone in to this event, as evidenced by the fact that most tree roots and trips hazards were marked out in day-glo paint.
