Salem Daily News, The (Newspaper) - December 3, 1890, Salem, Ohio THE SALEM DAILY NEWS. VOL. II. NO. 286. SALEM. OHIO, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1890. TWO CENTS. FARMERS' ALUM Rational Couveution of the Ordei Meets at Ocala, Flo. i HAIKBUEADTH ESCAPE. Larsre Attendance of Delegates and Much Enthusiasm Haniiested. FreiiJeat A'ldreu the Policy of the Alliance What It Pro- to Accomplish. OCALA, Fla., Dec. national i convention of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union met here Tuesday afternoon in the opera house, i About persons were present. GOT- ernor Fleming welcomed tho delegates, j Hon. John F. Dunn, a prominent aspir- I ant for the United States Senatorship, followed the Governor in a brief ad- dress. President Fonlk, of the South j Dakota Alliance, delivered an address in which he predicted victory for the Alliance at tae ballot-box in 1892. This sentiment xv-is cheerod to the echo by i the delegates. Ail tb.3 speakers pre- dieted tho general prevalence within a I ghort time of the ideas embodied in the Alliance platform adopted at St. Louis. Chairman Rogers introduced President Polk, who delivered his annual address, i The address congraiulates the Alii- ance on its achievement-; siuce the last j meeting and then reviewed the causes! of agricultural depression. The pre-si- I dent declared tliat this depression is n-i I anomaly to the student of industrial I progress. "Retrogression in American I he saul. "means national I decay, and powerful and promising as is I this giant republic, yet its power and glory touch not tho degradation of the American farmer.'' The alarm incident to centralization I of the money power and upbuilding of monopolies was then pointed out and both political parties wore condemned for forcing and encouraging this condi- tion. The president urged that additional organizers be sent at once to Oregon, Washington, Ohio, Now York, New Jer- sey, Arizona and other States. Among his recommendations was one-that an organization be formed to ba Known as the National Legislative Council, com- posed of the national president and the presidents of all Stite Alliaaces, their duty being to loolt aftor legislative re- form demanded by tbo Alliance, both in State Legislation and Congress. He deprecated sectionalisms and closed with an eloquent appeal for national har- mony. In relation to the political action of the Alliance. President Polk said that while the order is political, it can not be partisan or sectional ia its action. In support of this declaration, tho presi-. dent pointed to the record of the Alli- ance in tho recent popular election and particularly to the noble and patriotic bearing of the Alliance in Kansas and South Carolina. In regard to the record of the Alliance daring tho -past year, and especially with reference to the legislation de- manded by it, Mr Polk declared that Congress had persistently ignored all of their propositions, notably in the case of the measure known as the Sub-Treas- ury bill. "Congress." he said, "must come nearer to the people or they will get nearer to Congress." In outlining tho future policy of the Alliance President Pol c said that it will demand the restoration of silver to all the rights and qualities of legal tender which gold possesses; the issuance of Government currency direct to the peo- ple; equalization of taxes; prohibition of alien ownership of land; ownership and control of transporation lines by the Government; limit of public revenues to the economic administration of the Government; graduated taxation of in- comes and the flection of United States Senators by a direct vote of tho people. When President Polk had concluded the convention resolved itself into a sort of "love feast.'" during which C. A. Power, a Union so'difr from Indiana, moved that all ex-soldiers in the hall who indorsed tho sentimonts expressed iu the speeches with rt-ferenco to the burial of sectional riao up to be counted. Between forty and fifty men stood up amid the wiTdest. enthusiasm. Somebody suggested that three cheers be given for tho ex-Confed rates in the Alliance, and thoy were given with a will Then the es- Con federates present cheered the ex-Union soldiers to the echo. Tbe cheers ended with an old- fashionod "rcbol yell." Tho conven- tion then adjourned until this morning. Tbe conduct of Dr. Macune. editor of the National Ewnomist, is likely to bo investigated and may prove a bombshell in the deliberations of the Alliance. It is charged that Dr. Macune has violated the policy of the Alliance in his ad- vocacy of tho Conger lard bill: in his op- position to tho Paddock poro food bill: in bis indorsement of Speaker Reed's rulings, and Snilly in characteriz- ing tariff rofo-.-n the "galvanized chost of sticiionalJim an 1 'Usloyalty."

The Santee Indians at tbe agency have taken a new turn in the threatened trouble. There are at this place a gsgat many who have served as scouts in times past, and who have incurred the hatred of the wild Sioux, and they have threat- ened their lives if ever an outbreak oc- curred. During the negotiation of tho recent Sioux treaty, every measure for the ben- efit of the Santees was vig-orously op- posed by the Ogalalla and Cheyenne bands. This further tended to keep up an unfriendly feeling and now tbe San- tees, feeling unsafe, have asked the Government for arms to protect them- selves in case of a general outbreas among the Sioux.

BBC Wales has learned that Northrop Grumman is one of two consortia bidding for an £800m Ministry of Defence contract to make a sophisticated communications system.
If successful, it would set up its HQ in Blackwood, offering 250 jobs.
But it faces stiff competition from rival consortium Thales which is also promising to create Welsh jobs.
Northrop Grumman is bidding to win the Watchkeeper project, a 10-year MoD contract to supply advanced communication and reconnaissance systems.
The Los Angeles-based company said it would need about 250 people to supply the systems which use unmanned planes to defend and attack armies.
A decision about the project's future is expected in the coming days or weeks.
Army radios
If successful, Northrop Grumman will set up its programme HQ in the Oakdale Business Park, the second major global hi-tech defence contractor to move its project headquarters there.
In November 2002 General Dynamics UK opened its Bowman military communications programme at Oakdale, having secured a £1.9bn contract for army radios.
Northrop Grumman said General Dynamics would be a key member of its team on the Watchkeeper programme.
Senior vice-president Tom Vice said: "We want to build on the success of the Bowman project and help create a cluster of integrated systems technology in the area.
"Bringing together Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics will see Oakdale become the UK and European centre of excellence for integrated systems technology."
The company will also employ people from the local workforce.
"More than 90% of the staff at our headquarters systems centre will be recruited locally from Wales and the UK.
"These will be highly skilled engineering, systems integration and software development posts.
The project could generate up to an additional 2,000 spin-off jobs as the company develops local supply chains, said Mr Vice.
Wales is already significant in pilotless spy plane technology, with a £21m investment at Parc Aberporth in Ceredigion, unveiled in May, aiming to create a centre of excellence.
Northrop Grumman would create 12 more jobs at the MoD testing site in Aberporth, where the pilotless Watchkeeper plane would be tested.

Tell GR: Where Will Grand Theft Auto V Take Gamers?
Posted on Tuesday, October 25 @ 12:40:05 PST by Daniel BischoffToday's announcement that Grand Theft Auto V was indeed on its way, even to the point that Rockstar Games was ready to show off an announcement trailer, was surprising to no one. We're very ready for the latest installment of the world's most controversial video game.
Spending hours upon hours in Grand Theft Auto IV's version of Liberty City has left us with quite the impression, but now that Grand Theft Auto V is officially on its way, let's examing what we know so far (very little) and narrow down the possibilities for GTA V's next location.
We'll start off by saying that Rockstar Games will not be taking players back to Liberty City for the latest GTA installment. That's stale. If we know anything about the elusive mega-developer, it's that Rockstar likes to keep things fresh.
We've really only got a logo to go on at this point, but there are some telling details inherent in the massive splash page. Grand Theft Auto V's logo features a roman-numeral 5 with the word "Five" spelled out in front of it. Since Grand Theft Auto III, numerical entries in the series have meant a return to Liberty City. Our guess is that the V in this logo will mean something.
Obviously, we're talking Vice City, but will a modern day Miami make for the amazing narative Rockstar is sure to cook up? We're not so sure. Once you've done 80s Miami, there might not be too much to go back to. Instead, the currency-esque V in the latest GTA's logo suggests a locale with a big focus on money and business.
We're thinking Los Santos, the San Andreas stand-in for Los Angeles. With California acting as the eighth largest economy IN THE WORLD, it make sense for a Grand Theft Auto to focus on the land of stars, business, drugs, police, race, and lower-, middle-, and upper-class citizens. Los Angeles presents the optimal locations for a totally varied cast of characters and a totally varied landscape.
It certainly helps that Rockstar Games has a ton of assets and research already built up in their recent development of crime-caper L.A. Noire. It makes sense that those utilties could be put to better use by the in-house development teams at Rockstar Games.
Where do you want Grand Theft Auto V set?

Hoping to reverse decades of frustration, Salinas city officials are taking another look at a downtown revitalization effort.
On Tuesday, the Salinas City Council will consider seeking a consultant to help with the latest attempt to redevelop the city's core, dubbed the "Downtown Vibrancy Plan." The proposal, which is on the council's consent agenda, calls for the consultant to work under the direction of a new Downtown Stakeholder Team, which is still to be appointed and would consist of business and property owners, and other downtown community members.
Mayor Joe Gunter said the proposal was initiated by his predecessor, Dennis Donohue, but added that he supports it in concept.
Gunter said he'll reserve final judgement until he sees what kind of consultant proposals the city receives. But he added that an attempt to focus on upgrading downtown is worthwhile, pointing to both opportunities and challenges with the new 97,000-square-foot Taylor Fresh Foods headquarters project under way on the crucial 100 block of Main Street and the unacceptably high rate of vacant storefronts in the area.
"Exciting things are coming," Gunter said, hinting that announcements about new downtown businesses were pending. "Getting people actively involved in downtown is a good thing."
Gunter said the difference between this downtown redevelopment effort and previous ones is "this is all going to be above board."
Under the proposal, a request for qualifications would be sent out to consulting firms as early as this week, provided the council offers its approval, with a proposed Feb. 21 deadline for responses. A staff report said the city has already budgeted $195,000 over the next three years for the initiative, including $75,000 for both this fiscal year and next, and $45,000 in 2013-14.
The new downtown stakeholder team would help select the consultant and work to establish a scope of work with the goal of defining a common downtown boundary and a more broadly defined area with uniform planning and zoning policies. The team would also be charged with conducting public meetings and charettes to get the community involved in setting priorities.
Recent downtown redevelopment efforts, especially over the past decade, have foundered despite years of efforts involving several different groups, most of whom proposed hotels on the long-vacant 100 block parcel where the historic Caminos Hotel stood until it was razed in 1989.
Most recently, a group called Salinas Renaissance Partners, led by Carmel developer Robert Leidig, conducted a lengthy visioning process for the downtown area in 2009 that resulted in a sweeping redevelopment plan before city officials decided to sever ties the following year, citing concerns about the group's financial capacity.
Leidig and his son Curtis sued the city for $2 million alleging breach of contract and accusing Donohue of working behind the scenes to bring the Taylor Fresh Foods headquarters into downtown. Most of the suit was tossed out last month.
Previous downtown redevelopment efforts included:
· A 2008 proposal by New York-based The Widewaters Group, also including Leidig, to include downtown city property in a broad renovation that apparently fell apart amid disagreements between company officials and Leidig. That prompted Leidig to form Salinas Renaissance Partners and convince city officials to give him a shot.

Can You Combine Brazilian Butt Lift with Natural Breast Augmentation (Fat Transfer)? (photo)
Doctor Answers 7
Bbl and Breast augmentation
If you have enough fat for both areas fat transfer to the buttocks and breast is a great option , however most of our patients rather have breast augmentation with an implant than with fat transfer, mostly because there's the risk of having absorption of the fatty tissue having as a result a different size than expected, in in buttocks fat transfer is better than implants because of the natural shape results, and fat can be used to fill out the hips.
Can the BBL and breast augmentation using fat grafting be combined under 1 operation?
The BBL is widely accepted as the preferred technique for buttock augmentation. It leads to a very natural result and has shown to be a safe procedure. Fat grafting into the breasts is still in its trial phase. It has not yet been approved by the American Society of Plastic surgeons as a routine procedure. There are safety issues involved. The procedure still needs more time to be able to gather sufficient data to be recommended as safe and reliable. We perform many combined BBL and breast augmentations using an implant which is what I would recommend at this time.
Fat Transfers to Buttock and Breasts
Fat transfers to the buttocks has become quite popular over the past several years and breast augmentation with fat is gaining traction. Unlike implants (either breast or buttock) which give very reproducible and predictable results, fat grafts can be more variable based on the amount of fat that survives.
Augmenting both the buttocks and breasts at the same time requires the harvest of a lot of fat from other areas- abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper back, etc. It is difficult to tell if you have enough from your photos to address both sites. I recommend a consultation with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in both procedures.

BBL and fat augmentation to your breasts
Fat can be used to increase your buttock (BBL) and also for breast augmentation. Both procedures work great when done by a board certified plastic surgeon specializing in these procedures. It does not appear that you have enough fat to get a get result to both. I recommend choosing which procedure you want more, and use all the fat for that. Personally, a BBL would be my choice because butt implatns don't do well. Breast implants however, look and feel natural and is a great procedure. You should seek an in-person consultation to discuss this in more detail.

Brazilian Buttock enlargement and Breast enlargement
It does not appear that you will have enough fat for both breast and buttock enlargement. You could probably have some degree of buttock enhancement with fat if the breast were not also involved. Breast Augmentation is safely and very well done with implants. Without an examination to provide further clarity it is hard to say much more regarding your needs.
"Natural" Breast Augmentation and Brazilian Butt Lift
Dear Boobie128,
Thank you for your question and the photos. It appears that you have enough fatty tissue for harvesting and performing a BBL with the expectation of a very good result.
Concerning performing a fat transfer for breast augmentation, this procedure is still not fully agreed upon as an acceptable technique for breast enlargement. There are many studies underway examining the short and long-term issues of using fat transfers for breast enlargement. Where these studies are being performed can be obtained from either The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) at surgery.org or The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) at plasticsurgery.org. If you are interested in participating in one of these studies, please contact one of the research centers who can inform you about the procedure and selection protocols. Sadly, many doctors(surgeons and non-surgeons) have jumped the gun and are marketing "natural" breast augmentation even though we are still researching this technique. I would not suggest having a breast enlargement with fat unless you are being followed by one of the study sites at this time.
BBL and fat transfer breast augment
Several comments. Fat transfer for breast augmentation is in its infancy now; there are significant risks of fat necrosis and, at the present time, I would would not recommend it. In terms of BLL, your photo isn't clear but my reaction is that you may need a procedure to improve your abdomen before deciding whether to augment your buttocks.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Freshman Janae Vander Ploeg totaled 17 kills on a .395 hitting percentage and NAU hit .333 as a team in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-17, 25-22) sweep of Southern Utah on Monday night in Rolle Activity Center. The Lumberjacks are 6-0 at home this season and improved to 19-4 overall and 11-3 in the Big Sky to move within one win of clinching a berth in the Big Sky Championship.
"This was an important one to bounce back and I thought we played down a little bit but we were still pretty comfortable in one and two and handled it in the third," said NAU head coach Craig Choate. "I think we are so close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel that we have to get that second wind. You're supposed to protect home court, so mission accomplished for the first night."
The match began a stretch of three home matches in six days for the Lumberjacks, who rebounded from a five-set loss at Sacramento State on Saturday to win comfortably. Vander Ploeg added six digs and four blocks to her stat line while senior Kelli Dallmann posted 11 kills and seven digs. Sophomore Sydney Kemper added nine kills on a .500 hitting percentage and setter Kalee Kirby had 46 assists and seven digs. With 11 digs in the match, senior Anna Gott moved to fourth in Big Sky history with 1,736 career digs.
The Thunderbirds had no blocks through the first two sets and were outblocked 10.0-6.0 for the match. The visitors hit .144 for the night and did not record a single service ace or error while NAU had the upper hand in digs and totaled a 51-35 advantage in kills.
NAU set the tone early with a .469 hitting percentage in the first set while holding Southern Utah to a .091 attack percentage. The Lumberjacks turned an early 5-4 lead into a 21-8 cushion with a 16-4 run through the middle of the set, and though the Thunderbirds made a bit of a push a kill by Kemper ended the set to give NAU the early lead.
A quick 10-5 Lumberjack lead in the second set forced an SUU timeout, and the Thunderbirds responded with a 7-0 run to move ahead 12-10. After leveling the set at 13-13, NAU went on a 5-0 spurt to build an 18-13 cushion. Southern Utah got back within a 20-16 deficit but NAU ended the set on a 5-1 run to build a 2-0 advantage.
Southern Utah would not go away quietly and led early in the third set buy as large as a 12-7 margin. The Lumberjacks chipped away at the deficit and drew even at 16-16 after a 9-4 spurt as Dallmann totaled seven kills on a .545 hitting percentage in the set. With the score still even at 18-18 NAU won the next four points and would reach match point at 24-20. After the Thunderbirds withstood two match points an NAU block by Vander Ploeg and freshman Payton Bock, her match-best sixth block of the night, gave the Lumberjacks the win.
NAU can clinch its first Big Sky Championship berth since 2007 when it hosts Eastern Washington at 7 p.m. Thursday in Rolle Activity Center in a match to be televised live on FOX Sports Arizona, FOX College Sports, and NAU-TV.

Huling Turns in PR in Third-Place Steeplechase Finish at USA Track and Field Championships
June 25, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS - Clocking in with a personal-best time of 8:27.41, Miami University's Dan Huling (Geneva, Ill.) placed third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2006 AT&T USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. After finishing fourth in the preliminaries, Huling was one of five runners to complete the race in under 8:30, besting his previous top time of 8:35.16.
On Sunday afternoon at the Michael A. Carrol Track and Field Stadium, Huling finished third behind Daniel Lincoln (8:22.78) and Steve Slattery (8:25.54), both running for Nike. Behind Huling in third place, Jacques Sallberg (8:28.18) and Thomas Brooks (8:28.24) rounded out the top five finishers.
Heading into the national track and field championships, Huling's previous personal-best time in the steeplechase was 8:41.53, a mark Huling eclipsed in both the preliminaries and finals. Huling clocked in at 8:35.16 in the prelims before smashing that mark with his 8:27.41 in the finals.
Prior to the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Huling rewrote the Miami record books in his final season in Oxford, becoming the RedHawks' first dual All-American in cross country and track since Sylvester Stewart in 1944-45. In addition to earning All-America plaudits in the 5,000 meters, Huling won every Mid-American Conference title he competed for, including three conference track titles in the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and 3,000-meter steeplechase.
After winning the MAC Cross Country Title and earning All-America honors during the fall cross country season, Huling also turned in three school record performances between the indoor (mile run, 3,000 meters) and outdoor (3,000-meter steeplechase) track and field seasons.

Mary Kay joins the group of brands offering battery-powered, handheld facial cleansing devices, and the results, while nice, don't best what you can achieve for pennies per use with a cotton washcloth and your regular facial cleanser. Cleansing brushes can definitely provide an extra measure of makeup removal, so they're not something to dismiss outright.
Fans of the Clarisonic will likely find the smaller brush head Mary Kay developed for this cleansing system takes too long to clean skin. The Clarisonic is simply bigger, and in this case, bigger is better (or at least faster!). Still, the brush heads (the set comes with two and Mary Kay sells replacement brush heads in packs of two for $15) are quite soft and feel good; in fact, the brush heads are of a higher quality than what Olay offers with its Pro-X cleansing brush, so if you're fan of that device and want something that feels better, give Mary Kay's brush a whirl!
As with similar battery-powered brush, the device has two settings, but the higher of the two is more efficient. Whether this type of cleansing system works better to remove all traces of makeup than using a washcloth or a toner post-cleansing is debatable. Some love the concept of cleansing brushes, some find them gimmicky and not worth the extra time and effort. They do work better than just using your fingers, and we're not here to dissuade you from using one if you're curious—but most will find the one that started it all (Clarisonic) to be superior to these smaller, less expensive options.
Mary Kay At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the products are fragrance-free; packaging that keeps light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable during use; a handful of well-formulated moisturizers; very good eye-makeup remover; effective wrinkle filler; excellent cream blush and several other impressive makeup products.
Weaknesses: The overall collection is a mixed bag of exciting and disappointing products; several outdated moisturizers and cleansers; no AHA or acceptable BHA products; the CC Cream doesn't provide good enough UVA protection; some lackluster makeup products.
The last few years haven't been glamorous for one of the world's largest direct sellers of cosmetics. Mary Kay lost a lawsuit filed by TriStrata, the company whose founders hold over 100 patents on the use of AHAs in skin-care products. It was revealed that Mary Kay's former AHA products infringed on three of these patents, and, after some back-and-forths in court, Mary Kay ended up paying royalties of over $40 million (interest included) to TriStrata. Perhaps because they're still licking their wounds after this defeat, the company has not launched any new AHA products, and no longer sells the ones that were in question during the legal battle (Source: www.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/2006/04/03/daily26.html).
However, the company's spin on the issue of AHAs is that they no longer use them because skin-care technology has advanced. That's an interesting twist, but the fact of the matter is that AHA products, when well-formulated, are still considered advanced and capable of doing far more for skin than the alternatives Mary Kay has devised (including an at-home microdermabrasion scrub and products with vitamin C derivatives).
Although they're not a company for you if you are looking for exfoliants (though you should be looking for a good exfoliant), Mary Kay has recently developed a surprising number of excellent products. With over 1.6 million Mary Kay consultants selling products in 30 countries, this family-owned company (founder Mary Kay Ash passed away in 2001) has slowly been proving that they intend to remain competitive with the best of the best. A refreshing change of pace is the omission of fragrance from almost all of the products. Now that is what we call progress!
Despite its size and capital (wholesale figures were $3 billion in 2012), Mary Kay still has a lot to learn. For instance, although their guiding philosophy of empowering women is admirable, the assortment of products still leaves much to be desired. Yes, things are looking up, but there are several weak spots that keep Mary Kay from being in the same league as
If improvements like those in Mary Kay's latest products were translated to the entire line, it would be standing much taller, at least as far as what current, substantiated skin-care research indicates is optimum for creating and maintaining healthy skin. As is, this is a line to approach with a keen understanding of what to focus on and what to avoid. One last bit of good news: Mary Kay offers well-packaged samples of selected products, either directly or from your consultant.
Unless mentioned otherwise, all Mary Kay products are fragrance-free.
Note: Mary Kay is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Mary Kay does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Research Team.

The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.

A used car can be a bargain or a nightmare, and that usually depends on how well the prior owners took care of it. If you have a used car, rate its last owner(s) from one to ten, depending on how well they took care of it, modified it, kept records, etc. I give my BMW's last owners (combining all of them as one for simplicity) an 8.5. The paint and interior are in exceptional conditions for their age, and the car seemed to be very well maintained in general. They installed some very nice M5 style wheels, larger brakes, a dark, but not too dark tint, and M3 style mirrors and aftermarket headlights I'm not crazy about, but like better than the stock ones. Most of all, they never crashed it or had any title issues, and there's no rust on it despite being 17 years old. The only things they did wrong was not keep any records of service, and probably drove it hard, because 2nd gear can grind if you shift into it hard.

I'd give my car's last owner a 3/10. Other than the dealer, my car had 2 previous owners and I doubt that it was the old lady that owned it first that caused so much wear and tear. When I got it the car had 3 different types of tires on it, a leaky water pump, and warped front rotors. Who treats a car like that?On the other hand, thanks to the previous owner, I was able to get the car dirt cheap and the repairs were straightforward...

My Suburban's last owner was my dad, and seeing as how she's running strong with 270k miles I'd say the previous owner gets a 10/10.The MGB was owned by my best friend. He was in an unusual situation but did the best he could with the car and his resources. I'll say 8/10.My motorcycle's previous owner was a certified Yamaha technician and he took fantastic care of the bike. It's 33 years old but is a daily rider. He also gave me a service manual and advice on the maintenance that would be needed at various mileage intervals coming up. Furthermore he gave the the phone numbers of his friends who worked at repair shops and would give me a good deal if I told them it was his old bike (he was moving to a different state). I don't think you can ask any more than that from a previous owner, so he gets a 10/10.

2nd owner of my carFirst owner did a great job. He put 35th anniversary 350z rims on it, along with cross drilled rotors. He also added a cold air intake. When I bought the car, it had 95k miles and it was in great shape (still is). I looked at the service record when I bought it, absolutely immaculate. Only gripe I have is that he got the seat belt extenders from the factory, they can be uncomfortable at times but I suppose that I am used to them now.

Owned my G since new. We bought the Jeep with 5k on it and the previous owner managed to put a couple of minor dings and scratched in it. So I'll give him a D since he didn't even have toe excuse of haven taken it off road. We've since added a few custom scratches by way of nature so we get an A for using the Jeep properly!

I fixed what I could with my limited body knowledge with some dirty painting to arrest rust.-1 points to general upkeep/mechanicals checked out okay, but it has been clear that owner did not change things like the fuel and air filter regularly.+2 points for low mileage/a little over 51k miles when I bought it was a major redeeming value. The low price was also excellent. Car was a strong runner.overall 03/10
the jeeps are both new, so we are the first ownersthe pickup was my grandpa's before he passed away and he was military bomber pilot and was an airplane mechanic before that, so he was meticulous with the truck. i even found a spiral notebook with every single fill up, with the miles and mpg dating back to when he bought in in 1995. The truck was a demo originally for the dealer that sponsored him when he was playing golf which would go to all of the tornaments in his area that was towing a matching boat. The pickup is now almost 20 years old and just starting to have issues from sitting too much since we don't really drive it often. but at 72k miles it still looks new.

My most recent experience of the psychology of the empty nest – or, to put it another way, of time racing by so fast it leaves me panting and terrified that my cramped fingers are slipping off the cliff of life – happened over dinner during the holidays.
Sister No. 1 was bemoaning the fact that the painting she had inherited from our late mother was not, in fact, a George Stubbs landscape appraised at $300,000, as Ma had said, but one by a lesser Stubbs, worth $100 if she was lucky. Sister No. 2 then began to worry over the picture she had been bequested by our lying mother.
It features a cart horse standing backward in a farmer's lane, painted in the late 1800s by John Frederick Herring Jr. He and his father were a shrewd pair: J.F. Herring Sr. churned out portraits of racehorses for the emerging British mercantile class, while Junior specialized in nostalgic Victorian country scenes (e.g., Horses and Pigs).
At this point, my daughter, a second-year McGill University literature and art-history major, perked up: "Herrick? The poet?"
"No," I countered. "Herring. The painter."
"Oh," she said. "Because there is a poet named Herrick."
"Yes, I know."
She looked at me. "Have you read Herrick?"
"Yes," I said. "Of course."
That is, at least I remembered seeing his name … post-Renaissance, flowers, countryside, something something something.
Still, I knew what was happening. I had spent the first 19 years of my daughter's life being the well-read one, trying to forge a fathomless father-daughter connection based on a mutual life of the mind.
Now, suddenly, in her second year of university, she was speeding by me, reading wider and deeper than I had, and faster than I ever could. She was needling me to keep up. But I knew it was hopeless. She was now educating me, and I was the rookie.
Robert Herrick, the poet, it transpires, was the 17th-century contemporary and acolyte of Ben Jonson who wrote:
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying.
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.
He came by his famous sense of carpe diem honestly: His father fell out a window to his death (fourth floor) when the boy was a year old. He was apprenticed to his uncle, a goldsmith, but instead read at Cambridge to become a vicar in Devonshire, where he wrote 2,500 classically themed poems, roughly half of which are published in his only book, Hesperides. (There was very little else to do in Devonshire, as Herrick points out in several poems.)
Easy for him to insist that one should live for the moment – Herrick didn't have children. Children are hostages to fortune, as another English writer famously said: As soon as you become a parent, you start to worry about your child's future, and try to control it, even if you know you cannot.
I wanted my daughter to be deeply, traditionally literate because I am convinced that knowing your way around stories, famous and otherwise, is a valuable skill in any profession. I just didn't want her to be more literate than I am.
For a long time, the odds were in my favour. Little of the reading I gave her – Catcher in the Rye, Tom Wolfe's funniest reporting, the Potter books (both Beatrix and Harry), The New York Times, Tennyson, Kipling – caught her interest at the time. She read her own or her mother's books – The Giver (in fourth grade), The Velvet Room, the stories of Deborah Ellis, countless plays (especially Shakespeare) – for her own reasons.
Please don't misunderstand me. I did not long to have a reading relationship with my daughter as a way of hanging on to her. I know that the empty-nest watchers, the experts in postsecondary sadness, say this is precisely the mistake modern parents make: Instead of recognizing our lives are in a new chapter, we resist change. We try to stay parental, authoritative, reliable, which is why so many adult children still feel perfectly fine living in their parents' homes.Report Typo/Error

A researcher at North Carolina State University has developed a three-dimensional computer model that shows how pulsars obtain their spin, which could lead to a greater understanding of the processes that occur when stars die.
Dr. John Blondin, professor of physics in NC State's College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, along with colleague Anthony Mezzacappa at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, used the CRAY X1E supercomputer to develop a three-dimensional model of a pulsar's creation, and in the process discovered that conventional wisdom concerning the formation of these celestial objects wasn't correct.
Their findings are published in the Jan. 4 edition of the journal Nature.
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars formed in supernova explosions, which occur when a massive star reaches the end of its life and explodes. The remaining matter is compressed into a dense, rapidly spinning mass – a neutron star, or pulsar – so-called because scientists first discovered them due to their regularly timed radio emissions.
"Picture something about the mass of the sun being pushed down to the size of a small American city, like Raleigh," Blondin says. "That's what happens when a neutron star is formed.
"We've known about pulsars since the 1960s," Blondin continues. "We can determine how fast they're spinning by how rapidly they pulse. It's like a searchlight on a lighthouse – each time the pulsar spins, and emits a radio pulse directed toward earth, we pick up on it. The period between the pulses tells us how fast it's spinning."
Pulsars spin very rapidly – 20 or more times per second. Scientists have assumed that the spin was caused by the conservation of angular momentum from a star that was spinning before it exploded.
"Think about figure skaters," Blondin says. "They start a spin with their arms and legs farther out from the body, and increase their rotation speed when they pull their limbs in more tightly. That's what the conservation of angular momentum is – the idea that if you take a large object with a slight rotation and compress it down, the rotation speed will increase."
However, scientists had no idea if the stars that were producing the pulsars were even spinning to begin with. Blondin and his colleague decided to create a computer model of a supernova explosion using the new Cray X1E supercomputer at the National Center for Computational Sciences, the only computer with enough processing power to accomplish the task. The resultant model demonstrated that a pulsar's spin doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the star that created it was spinning; instead, the spin is created by the explosion itself.
"We modeled the shockwave, which starts deep inside the core of the star and then moves outward," Blondin says. "We discovered that as the shockwave gains both the momentum and the energy needed to blow outward and create the explosion, it starts spiraling all on its own, which starts the neutron star at the center of the star spinning in the opposite direction. None of the previous two-dimensional modeling of supernova explosions had picked up on this phenomena."
Blondin hopes that this new information about the creation of pulsars will lead to a greater understanding of supernova explosions. "Supernova explosions produce many of the heavy elements found on the periodic chart, like gold," he says. "Understanding these explosions can help us to better understand our own planet and solar system."

GMAT Tip: Sentence Correction Strategy
The GMAT Tip of the Week is a weekly column that includes advice on taking the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), which is required for admission to most business schools. Every week an instructor from a top test prep company will share suggestions for improving your GMAT score. This week's tip comes from Brian Galvin, director of academic programs at Veritas Prep.
A common mistake that GMAT students make on sentence correction problems is to look for the perfect answer. A much more effective approach is to ask the question, "Which of these answer choices is better?" and to ask this question repeatedly until only one answer choice is left standing.
Think about how your eye doctor zeroes in on the prescription that is best for you. The doctor does not lay a bunch of lenses in front of you and tell you to pick the best prescription for yourself. You never would get anywhere. Instead, she presents you with a series of choices: "Which is better? No. 1 or No. 2?" and then, "No. 2 or No. 3?" and so on. This is how you should approach sentence correction problems on the GMAT. If you try to make more than one choice at a time, then you're trying to do too much.
This approach not only helps you efficiently tackle each question, but it also helps you with your overall stamina on test day. Toward the end of the GMAT, your mind has already made hundreds of calculations and decisions. Just as the eye doctor knows that it will be difficult for you to differentiate the most recent lens from the first lens, which you saw 10 lenses ago, you should recognize that you'll likely struggle to make multiple concurrent decisions within a sentence that is designed to be extra verbose and descriptive. Making one definitive decision at a time is an efficient way to manage your time, energy, and focus on these problems.
Break it down and keep it simple on sentence correction problems. Think in terms of "What's better?" not in terms of hunting for perfection.
Brian Galvin is the director of Academic Programs for Veritas Prep. Not many people can say they have earned a 99th percentile score on the GMAT and have completed an Ironman race, but Galvin can. Since joining Veritas Prep as director of academic programs in 2006, he has devoted himself to developing new and better ways to help students master the GMAT. Galvin earned a bachelor's degree and a master's in education from the University of Michigan.

In what could be a blow to the European ambitions of Egypt's Naguib Sawiris, Telecom Italia says it will not bid for GVT, Vivendi's Brazilian phone business, according to Italy's Il Sole 24 Ore newspaper.
Billionaire Sawiris this week confirmed that he would attempt to buy a stake in the Italian incumbent through a cash injection of €3 billion ($3.9 billion), but Telecom Italia (Rome, Italy) had previously hinted at a lack of interest unless it decided to proceed with a bid for GVT (Curitiba, Brazil).
What's more, in making his bid Sawiris valued Telecom Italia at about €0.70 per share, its market price, while shareholders reportedly believe the company is worth €1.50 a share.
According to Il Sole 24 Ore, Vivendi (Paris, France) received four preliminary non-binding offers for GVT before its deadline passed, but none was from a telecoms operator.
Vivendi is seeking €7 billion for the asset, reports Reuters, and none of the four bidders reportedly offered more than €6 billion.
Speaking at a Morgan Stanley conference earlier this month, Marco Patuano, Telecom Italia's chief operating officer, appeared to make a sale of shares to Sawiris contingent on the operator's takeover of GVT.
The indebted Italian company would need additional funds to finance an acquisition of GVT, presenting an opportunity to the Egyptian tycoon.

Workshop Experts Overview
Role of Leadership Development Caucus
Leadership development workshops are few and far between, especially those focusing on women in scientific fields. However, several new programs have emerged in the last ten years, while some more established ones have been increasing and tailoring their offerings. The training of new workshop developers should benefit not only from the FORWARD workshop experience but the collected of wisdom of other leadership development programs for women in STEM. A caucus of such program developers was held in 2010 and a forthcoming set of recommendations from the group will be transmitted to the trainees.

March 19 marks the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the University of Colorado at Boulder has experts who can comment on various issues concerning the Iraq war.
Three faculty members who can offer comment are:
o Michael Kanner, an instructor in the political science department, is a retired U.S. Army intelligence officer and counter-terrorism expert and can talk about security issues in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The surge of U.S. troops in Baghdad has allowed us to concentrate on the military security side of the war and that has resulted in fewer bombings and less violence compared to last year at this time," Kanner said.
Kanner can be reached at 303-492-7138 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
o Francis Beer, professor of political science, specializes in the study of conflict and peace, and international relations.
"While the military surge has produced some results, it is only a tactical action and not a strategic one that will produce long-term results," Beer said. "As I said three years ago, the United States is a technologically advanced society with an enormously powerful military capability, but what it doesn't have is a strong capability to put boots on the ground over an extended period of time."
Beer can be reached at 303-492-7802.
o Robert Schulzinger, professor of history and director of CU-Boulder's International Affairs program, is an expert on U.S. foreign policy, diplomacy, American politics and the Vietnam War.
Schulzinger is skeptical that a unified Iraq would survive even if the war eventually ends. "A unified country that is this grouping of the Kurdish north, the Sunni center and the Shia rest of the country, is pretty artificial and may not continue," he said.
Schulzinger can be reached at 303-492-7993.
Or for assistance contact Dirk Martin in the CU-Boulder Office of News Services at 303-492-3140.

The internet time synchronization function doesn't want to work on my new Vista (Business) installation on a new machine. I always get "an error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with..." and it doesn't matter which of the several time synchronization sites I try. I've not used this on previous machines. I am hooked up to the internet on a cable modem (Comcast) through a router; the router is an older 802.11b (not g or n) unit. Web searching suggests making sure the targets are right, but they can't all be wrong. Could it be that older routers can't handle this or that a setting needs to be altered? All other internet access stuff works fine, and this is a desktop that is wired to the router - not a wireless problem.

Got it in one. Thank you, again. I'm running McAfee (free with my ISP contract). Worked immediately when I added the IP address to the trusted list. Curiously, McAfee never asked if I would like to allow access, which it does in other circumstances.
It was very kind of you to list all the different options, because the default list of time servers is pretty short. Fortunately one of the ones you listed was on the shorter default list. If I wanted to add all of those you have listed to the set of places Vista could go, how would I do that? In other words, where does Vista store the time servers and associated IP addresses?
Would an alternative approach would be to add the time synchronization program to the trusted programs list, rather than an individual site? Can't be that hard to find the name of the exe file doing the work.
Thanks again,
It is much easier to add the time sync program. Just add 'w32tm.exe' to trusted programs with full access. It is located in system32 folder.
