The government's point man for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico says crews drilling a relief well to permanently stop the oil will suspend their work until storms pass. Retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen says the suspension could delay completion of the relief well by two or three days. Crews will pop in a temporary plug to keep what they've drilled so far safe, but they won't have to remove the drill or send workers back to land. They have about 30 feet left to drill. Finishing the new well and sealing the broken one with mud and cement should be the final act of the three-month oil spill drama that has upended the lives of fishermen and others along the Gulf coast.
For now, success depends on John Wright, chosen by BP to guide a drill more than two miles beneath the sea floor, is trying to hit a target less than half the size of a dartboard. There's just 100 feet to go, but drilling the final stretch of a relief well is a careful and time-consuming process. A drill that's more than two miles beneath the sea floor is being steered toward a target less than half the size of a dartboard. But the man who's guiding it has been successful in each of the other 40 times he's drilled relief wells. If John Wright misses this time, BP engineers will pull the drill bit up, pour concrete in the off-track hole and then try again.
BP says it has received 145,000 claims for lost income because of its blown-out well and has paid out $324 million without denying a single claim. But the company says it also has 39,000 claims pending, and some of those have been hanging for months. BP says those claims are being reviewed and might need more paperwork from the people who filed them before they can be paid. Some Gulf Coast residents say the company is simply putting off denying claims until the federal claims administrator takes over the process. And BP does say it wants the administrator to rule on questionable cases.
Productivity dropped this spring for the first time in more than a year, a sign that companies may need to hire more workers in the near future. The Labor Department says worker productivity declined at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the second quarter after posting large gains throughout 2009. Unit labor costs edged up 0.2 percent in the second quarter — the first increase since the spring of 2009. Productivity rose by large amounts during the recession. Companies slashed their payrolls and pushed unemployment up to the highest levels in more than two decades. Economists said a slowing in productivity would be welcome development if it translates into more hiring.
Inventories at the wholesale level edged up slightly in June but sales fell by the largest amount in 15 months. The Commerce Department says wholesale inventories rose 0.1 percent in June. Sales fell 0.7 percent. It marked the second straight drop in sales, providing further evidence that the economy was slowing in the spring. Businesses helped drive the early stages of the recovery last year by building up their stocks after slashing them during the recession. The worry is that if consumer demand falters, business could cut back on their inventory restocking and deal a blow to manufacturing production.
President Barack Obama is urging lawmakers to pass a bill that he says will save hundreds of thousands of teachers and other public workers from unemployment. Speaking in the Rose Garden alongside two teachers facing potential job loss, Obama said the bill should not be a partisan issue. He says failing to pass the bill would set the country back at a time when it needs to be moving forward. Democrats say the measure would save more than 300,000 jobs for teachers, police officers and other public health workers. But Republicans see it as reckless government spending and a gift to teachers' unions ahead of the November elections.
Authorities in Nigeria say they have ended a nearly three-week search for a worker who fell from a Transocean drilling ship off the coast of the oil-rich country. Transocean spokesman Guy Cantwell says that the world's largest offshore drilling contractor stopped searching for the Nigerian worker who fell overboard July 21st. Cantwell says the man is still considered missing. He says Transocean officials will meet with the man's family and with his employer. French oil firm Total leases drilling ships from Transocean, based in Zug, Switzerland. Total, Europe's third largest oil company, says African oil fields produce about 750,000 barrels a day — roughly a third of its production.
With the 2010 census nearly finished, the government says it will save $1.6 billion in the cost of the population count because of strong public response and no major problems. The census was originally budgeted at $14.7 billion, with money set aside for outreach in case of a natural disaster or problems such as a boycott from conservatives or immigrants. The Census Bureau says those problems didn't really occur. The agency also reduced costs due to a high mail response rate of 72 percent, as well as quick field work from census takers visiting homes. The unused money will remain in the Treasury. Congress will determine how it is spent. The census is used to allocate seats in Congress and distribute billions in federal aid.

I recently ordered a helmet and it is very well made, however it doesn't quite fit due to the the cheek portions that protrude inward. It is a resin helmet and can be resized with a heat gun, according to the maker. However, out may be easier to use sandpaper or a dremel tool to shave down the interior. I'm just not positive of the helmet's thickness and don't want to take off too much and put a hole in it. I'm new at this (partly why I ordered the helmet along with not having the workspace to make one). My main reason for doing this is that I've been wanting a set of armor to wear for cons and watching my niece and nephews on Halloween.
Anyway any advice those here with more experience on the matter can give me is appreciated, as I'm definitely new at this. Thanks, everyone.

Two men and woman charged with conspiring to manufacture P and setting fire to an industrial building, the former King Cat factory, in Katikati remain behind bars, while police continue to trawl through the property.
Karl Rodney Goldsbury, 37, of Maketu; Terence William Jones, 35, of Katikati; and Tracey Angela Farrow, 26, of Katikati; faced joint charges of conspiring to manufacture methamphetamine and arson in Tauranga District Court yesterday.
They were arrested after armed police stormed into Katikati yesterday morning shortly before a series of loud explosions were heard coming from the industrial building on Park Rd.
At the scene yesterday, about eight police forensic experts searched through the remains of the building, which lay in a heap on the ground, while armed police kept watch over the property so the area wouldn't be contaminated.
Officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Sergeant Lindsay Pilbrow, said it was "a very slow process" and staff had to be meticulous in their examination of the scene.
A forensic specialist at the address said it appeared there were five cars inside the shed when it caught alight, and all had been destroyed in the blaze.
Tauranga fire safety officer Ken McKeagg was also at the property yesterday to help determine the cause of fire. Mr Pilbrow expected police to remain at the site for most of the week.
In court, police opposed bail for all three defendants so they could have more time to complete a full scene examination of the property and to make other enquiries.
Lawyer Tony Balme did not seek bail for his client Goldsbury and he was remanded in custody by consent. He is due back on court on January 23. 2013 for a judicial intervention hearing.
However, Mr Balme sought bail for Farrow arguing that the imposing strict conditions, including a 24-hours curfew would negate any concerns. Jones also sought bail on similar terms.
But Judge Alayne Wills refused bail for both .
Jones and Farrow are due back in court on December 12, possibly to make fresh bail applications.

FRANKFORT – Commissioner of Education Stephen Pruitt has named a steering committee to advise him on the development of a new education accountability system for Kentucky.
"This work is about 650,000 young people sitting in classrooms across the state and making sure they get the best education possible," Pruitt told the committee at its first meeting on June 2. "We have to get out of a mentality of compliance with accountability and focus on quality, if we want to make progress on closing achievement and opportunity gaps and make the gains we need for the benefit of our children. Every one of them needs to be prepared to pursue college, postsecondary training, military service or a job upon high school graduation."
The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaces No Child Left Behind (NCLB), was signed into law last December and gives states an opportunity to redesign public school accountability to better reflect state values as long as certain federal requirements are still met.
"The Accountability Steering Committee will play a major role in what Kentucky's new system will look like," Pruitt said. "The steering committee will consider input gathered to date as well as recommendations from several work groups. The goal is to design a system that will improve the education and readiness of ALL Kentucky students and to have one that is fair, reliable, valid and easier to understand than the current system."
Members of the Accountability Steering Committee include (in alphabetical order): Jimmy Adams, executive director, Education Professional Standards Board; Tatiana Adams, director of gifted services, Marshall Co. Schools; Dave Adkisson, president and CEO, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce; Mike Armstrong, executive director, Kentucky School Boards Association; Jay Brewer, superintendent, Dayton Ind.; Emmanuel Caulk, superintendent, Fayette Co.; Rep. John "Bam" Carney, Taylor Co.; Skip Clevenger, director of English learner programs, Warren County; Annie Conner, special education liaison, Pulaski Co. High School; Cherie Dimar, president, Kentucky Parent Teacher Association; Sam Evans, dean, College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, Western Kentucky University; Bill Farmer, president and CEO, United Way of the Bluegrass; Rob Fletcher, superintendent, Lawrence Co.; Cathy Gibbs, principal, Knight Middle School, Jefferson Co.; Rep. Derrick Graham, chair, House Education Committee; Tiffany Gruen, teacher, John G. Carlisle Elementary School, Covington Ind.; Donna Hargens, superintendent, Jefferson Co.; Ronda Harmon, executive director, Kentucky Association of School Councils; Donna House, paralegal, Kentucky Association of Professional Educators; Carolyn Witt Jones, executive director, Partnership for Successful Schools; Bob King, president, Council on Postsecondary Education; Ann Larson, vice dean, College of Education and Human Development, University of Louisville; Wendy Madden-Rutherford, principal, Letcher Co. Elementary School; Jami Martinez-Reynolds, instructional specialist, Bluegrass Middle School, Hardin Co.; Leon Mooneyhan, iLead Academy; Mary John O'Hair, dean, College of Education, University of Kentucky Department of Education; Brigitte Blom Ramsey, executive director, Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence; Alan Reed, superintendent, Adair Co.; Sadiqa Reynolds, president and CEO, Louisville Urban League; Josh Santana, founding partner, Santana and Fay, LLC, Lexington; Tim Schlosser, principal, Franklin-Simpson High School, Simpson Co.; Tom Shelton, executive director, Kentucky Association of School Superintendents; Chris Thomas, agriculture teacher, Larue Co. High School; Jackie Thompson, former choral director, Perry Co.; curriculum specialist, Knox Co.; Stephanie Winkler, president, Kentucky Education Association; Rachael Yarborough, superintendent, Webster Co. and Wayne Young, executive director, Kentucky Association of School Administrators.
The steering committee will be supported by five working groups that will focus on specific elements of the accountability system: college and career readiness, assessment, opportunity and access, school improvement and educational innovations.
Some issues, such as closing the achievement gap, will be overarching and will be addressed by multiple work groups. The membership of these groups will be announced soon.
The public will have an opportunity for input on the proposed accountability system before it is finalized and approved by the Kentucky Board of Education. The current timeline calls for the new system to be in place for the 2017-18 school year.
Video and audio recordings of the steering committee's first meeting are available online. A copy of the PowerPoint that was used is available here.
The next meeting of the Accountability Steering Committee is scheduled for July 25 in Frankfort.
More information on ESSA and Kentucky's accountability efforts may be found on the ESSA page of the Kentucky Department of Education website (www.education.ky.gov).

It has never been easier to find a payday loan lender or payday loan cash advance. A search with your favorite search engine for payday loan or cash advance will be quite apparent. A large number of sites providing payday loan can be extremely puzzling, this can be simply distressing. Your trauma and worry about your finances can bring about bad selections of a payday loan and payday loan lender. Watch out as you decide on where to get your payday loan.
Payday loans are only to be considered as a short term answer to your financial emergency. So, apply only for what you can come up with the money for to pay off on your next payday. If you have a loan of too much and are unable to pay off, it can affect decline in your finances. Usually, lending fees can range from $ 10 to $ 30 per $ 100 borrowed per week.
There is a large number of websites offering payday loans or seem to provide payday loan services. Not every payday loan websites demanding your personal details are the genuine payday loan lenders. A few are payday broker websites working on commission for direct payday loan lenders, who are actual lenders. You can come across websites providing payday loans of $ 100 to $ 1500 payday loans. Because of the high risk involved in payday loans, do not expect to get the most amount of payday loan on your first application. It is unusual to get a payday loan of over $ 500 on your first try. In the end, it all depends on your ability to pay back the loan amount.
You must not take what you cannot manage to pay it off on your very next salary. However if you extend your payday loan, it is necessary to be familiar with what are the terms of settlement of the lender are. The majority let you to extend the tenure of your payday loan. This can differ from state to state reliant on the local rules, but it will normally be lending fees plus interest cost.
The costs related with payday loans are exorbitant contrasted to other kinds of loan. It might look as if a great deal of cash if you are asked to pay a lending fee of $ 10 to $ 30 for borrowing $ 100, which depends on lender to lender. On the other hand, if you want to extend your loan, it will cost you more due to high penal fees involved. So, if you cannot get cash fast all at once you will be paying more for the loan you take. Payday loan lending companies by rule are required to reveal the entire costs related with your payday loan, together with the financial burden and the interest rates. You can get this information from payday loan lender you have a loan from.
Always remember, when you utilize the services of payday loan lender, you are in the most horrible debt, instead of out of debt. The interest cost is extremely high, and you will end up spending more cash to pay a bill.
http://www.pewtrusts.org/small-loans. 12 million Americans take out payday loans every year, but there are still misconceptions about how they are actually used. Follow the story of Jennifer, a typical payday loan customer, who takes out a cash advance on her paycheck to make ends meet, but ends up paying more than 0 in fees.

Steamboat Homefinder
Visit SteamboatHomefinder.com for more real estate news.
Steamboat Springs National home mortgage applications fell to a 15-year low this week in spite of the fact that mortgage interest rates are at unprecedented lows. At least on a national basis, the math works well for refinancing.
But that's not what is happening in Steamboat Springs.
Freddie Mac reported last week that the average rate on all outstanding mortgages is 5.3 percent. The new 15-year fixed mortgage rates of 3.36 percent leave ample room for a typical 30-year mortgage holder to refinance and move down to a 15-year horizon that will save many thousands of dollars during the life of the loan.
The Associated Press reports that the share of mortgage applications intended for refinancing rose this week to nearly 80 percent of the market, up from 70 percent just three weeks ago.
Kathryn Pedersen, who heads the mortgage lending department at Yampa Valley Bank in Steamboat Springs, said the opposite has been true in her office.
"More and more we deal with purchasers," Pedersen said. "We had a refinancing boom that began in late 2009 and carried into 2010. In 2011, more than 80 percent of our business has been purchases. That refi boom was huge — we had people calling continuously all day."
She theorizes that a large segment of Routt County homeowners who stood to either reduce the amount of their monthly payments or move to a shorter amortization already did so last year.
David High, of Alpine Bank in Steamboat Springs, said declining real estate values and the shrinking equity of homeowners as a result poses a challenge for people who want to refinance, but they are managing to do so anyway.
"We're finding that 40 percent of people refinancing are coming to the closing table with cash" to make up the difference between a current appraisal and what their home was previously worth, High said.
That's a big difference from the days when homeowners here could use a refi to pull money out of their home to pay for college tuition for their children.
The published interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell last week from 4.32 percent to 4.15 percent, according to the AP. That's the lowest rate in 40 years. To find lower long-term rates, it's necessary to go back to the 1950s, when long-term loans maxed out at 20 or 25 years.
Pedersen said several factors are keeping the Steamboat market from benefitting from record low mortgage rates.
The first is that it's difficult for existing property owners to sell their homes and get into something newer.
"We don't have a move-up buyer," Pedersen said.
Public perception encompasses other factors holding Routt County back, she said.
"People are still worried that things are going to go down more," she said. And in the case of refinancing, "Many people believe the loan process is just too hard."
What they don't realize she said, is that banks that process increasingly detailed paperwork take the burden of the loan application process off the borrower.
There's no reason borrowers in Routt County shouldn't be able to tap into the lowest available rates, High said. However, he cautioned that confusion can arise from the fact that most news stories lag the actual market.
Record low interest rates aren't anticipated to stimulate the national housing market, and there's a slightly different twist on that angle in Steamboat, where vacation condominiums are a big part of the real estate market.
"It's so hard to get a standard 30-year fixed mortgage on a condo right now," High said.
His bank and competitor Wells Fargo have created portfolio loans (pots of money dedicated to unconventional condo loans) intended to fit market niches, High said. For example, Alpine Bank has portfolio loans for purchasers interested in the relatively large inventory of live/work condos in Steamboat. It has another portfolio for condominium hotels.

Web Development and Optimization – Would You Read Your Own Copy?
Are you content with your web content? You've optimized your web copy with keyword-rich content and are confident you'll be found on Page One in due time—but you may not have taken the time to ensure that your content is actually tolerable to read.
In today's "I want answers yesterday" society, people will scan website content and copy quicker than you can read this sentence to see if it has what they want. Also, Ben Elowitz, the CEO of a web publishing company, recently stated in a blog post that the obsession with search engine optimization has begun to push creative and relevant web copy to the back burner.
It may be time to take a second—or third—look at your web copy and determine whether a major renovation is needed. Following a few simple steps can improve your website readability:
• Value. Companies may still be sweating out keywords into URLs and copy, but you cannot afford to substitute this strategy at the expense of valuable copy. It's simply too easy to find answers on innumerable websites, so what's keeping them on your page? Engaging, relevant and valuable content. Use an eye-grabbing title and follow it up with value.
• Recognize reader trends. Fathom SEO's blog stressed the importance of knowing how people read your website copy. Readers must be able to acquire the basic message of your web page's content as quickly as possible—or they'll turn their eyes to the next tab on their browser. Organizing your copy with structured formatting will only extend a reader's visit on your page.
• Break it Up. Your web page has one chance to impress the visitor. To improve your chance of keep their attention, make your copy visually attractive—short sentences, short paragraphs, and subheads make all the difference. Using subheads breaks up the copy in an organized manner that allows for flow and keeps readers scanning the entire page's copy. As important as optimization and keyword-rich content may be, accessibility and readability will play a significant role in your site's ability to retain visitors.

Many thought Brad Stevens would leave for another college over the past 3-4 seasons.
That isn't going to happen, but he is headed to another job.
The NBA's Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics, who recently traded their head coach Doc Rivers, to the Los Angeles Clippers, have come to an agreement with Stevens.
Stevens was at Butler for the past 13 years, the last 6 as head coach.
"Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years," Stevens said in a statement. "We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together. What makes Butler truly unique is the people that we have been so blessed to work with. When it comes time for our kids to look at schools, we will start with Butler University."
Stevens was the winningest coach in the history of college basketball over his first 6 seasons. He comprised a record of 166-49 including 12-5 record in the NCAA tournament, which included 2 trips to the Final Four and National Championship Game.
Athletic Director Barry Collier had this to say.
"Brad is leaving a great legacy and an excellent foundatin for us to build on," Collier said in a statement. "Our athletics program has an extremely bright future, and we are confident that Butler's first year in the Big East will be an outstanding one."
It will certainly be a change for Butler after 6 ultra-succesful years under Stevens.
We will have more coverage as we gather information.

Member Jillian G. says she and her kids are "a Consumers family." "My first account was when I was 7," she explains. "Then right out of high school, I got my first car loan ever. I've been a member ever since."
While Jillian was initially drawn to Consumers for our auto loans, she stayed for the relationships she built with our staff. She says, "They're looking out for me. It's genuine, and it's refreshing—like having a conversation with a friend."
"With the intimate feel of an established relationship, you also get all the benefits of a bigger bank," she adds. Jillian relies on Online Banking and text alerts to keep up with her accounts and is teaching her children how to manage their money as well.
At 19 and 10, her children have completely different financial needs at the moment, but Consumers offers options for each of them. "My son was quite excited," Jillian notes. "We took down his piggy bank full of money, and it was a milestone for him to have his own account. It was pretty cool."

Randy Roscoe bikes across the country to honor all veterans
Randy Roscoe of the Wounded Warrior Project peddles down Pennsylvania Avenue Wednesday. (Mark Wilson Photo)
He has ridden for more than a year and traveled through 17 states. He has been featured in 35 newspapers, on four TV stations and 22 radio stations. But it's not for him — Randy Roscoe is riding to spread awareness of the Wounded Warrior Project.
Nearing his late 50s, Roscoe was unable to serve in the Vietnam War and now wants to honor all those who served not only in Vietnam, but all wars.
"It's my way of saying thank you to all veterans, especially Vietnam veterans," Roscoe said. "I have a soft spot for the Vietnam vets because they didn't get treated like the guys coming home now do."
Hailing [auth] from El Paso, Texas, Roscoe left home, traveled to Oklahoma, Indianapolis and eventually reached Jacksonville, Fla., before turning around and heading back west until he ended up in Roswell Wednesday.
He collects business cards from all the reporters he talks to. He camps out most nights, pulling from the roughly 150 pounds of gear he hauls in a little buggy behind his bicycle. And above all, he reminds people that he is riding for the veterans.
Founded in Virginia in 2003 by a group of veterans and friends, the Wounded Warrior Project's mission is to "honor and empower" those wounded, physically or mentally, while serving in the military.
When people find out what Roscoe is riding for, the best of humanity usually shows itself. He has experienced little kindnesses along the way, from donated gear to paid bills at restaurants and even an occasional hotel room.
"A guy in Florida paid for a hotel room for me … $100 for a hotel room! I said 'No!' but he did," Roscoe said. "And I ended up sleeping on the floor. Because I couldn't sleep in a bed." He had spent so much time sleeping on the ground that a bed felt foreign.
He started his journey in April 2012, but had a breakdown in Oklahoma. So he spent four months there, doing odd jobs and volunteering while he waited for the needed part. But through mishaps, he continues to ride.
People ask him why he rides a bicycle. "Why don't you get a motorcycle?" he is asked.
"Well, I could do that, but just think: I haven't had to stop for gas yet," he replies to such questions. "And I would get fat and lazy."
Riding from Portales to Roswell alone he lost 4,100 calories. So pasta is a constant in his diet plan, as well as fresh fruit.
"I'd put a monkey to shame eating bananas," he laughed.
Showers are few and far in between. He rides through intense heat and storms. "I've gained a lot of pain," he said, referring to his aching back. And he breezes through shoes like none other. But overall, it's been an experience, he said.
And pointing to his Wounded Warriors hat, he said, "It's not about me, it's about them."

Get Hooked on IRONMAN XC
The IRONMAN Executive Challenge provides a one-of-a-kind race weekend for the world's top executives.
by Tricia Foley
IRONMAN is an event unlike any other. It takes months of diligent and targeted preparation to make it to race day, let alone cross the finish line before midnight. Each IRONMAN athlete is faced with unique obstacles throughout training and leading up to the event. For the high-level businessman or woman, finding time to train and plan an IRONMAN itinerary while traveling across the country and generating big deals in the professional world is a serious balancing act. The IRONMAN Executive Challenge (XC) takes care of the details and race-day logistics so that the busy executive can focus solely on their IRONMAN journey.
The benefits of participating in an IRONMAN XC event range from first-class accommodations to VIP passes for race-week activities, to chances to compete for championship slots—just to name a few. However, XC athletes will tell you that as much as they love the "on paper" perks of racing as an XC-er, the real benefits come from the friendships that are created and the camaraderie between XC teammates.
Two veteran XC-ers, Joe Terry and Jordan Ouida, shared an incredible bonding moment on the course during IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant. The men were on the run portion of the race when Terry came up on Ouida, who was at the point in the race that every athlete knows all too well: the wall. Luckily, a fellow XC-er helped him push through.
Ouida recalls: "I was suffering and Joe ran up next to me and he probably ran the better part of a mile with me. He was really trying to pull me along. It was one of those things where he probably could've run ahead and he didn't. I'll never forget that because he kind of sacrificed a little bit of his race so that I could finish mine." Terry, a former Seattle Seahawk, and now CEO of CorporateVisions, says he's a big team guy, which is what drew him to XC. "One of my favorite aspects of XC is that it creates a team atmosphere, and I love going to all of the XC events and remembering those amazing connections I've made with fellow XC-ers out on the course."

IRONMAN XC athlete Bill Beyer, a partner at Deloitte, began his XC journey in 2009 at the inaugural XC event at IRONMAN Coeur D'Alene. Beyer is one of XC's "original eight," and says he became hooked on IRONMAN while running a marathon and seeing someone wearing an IRONMAN Florida shirt: "What is that? I was hypnotized," he says, a trance-like look look coming to his face. "I did the marathon, but instantly that hook was there."
Beyer has competed in 15 XC events since then and enjoys the friendships he has made through the program—as well as the chance to discuss career topics with his peers. "It's hard to find forums where there are people of like mind, so it's nice to peel off and talk to someone on your level about business issues that matter."
IRONMAN XC athletes come from all kinds of high-level business backgrounds, which makes for an ideal team environment because each athlete understands that their work pressures are equally as demanding as their training. The IRONMAN XC staff recognizes these pressures and provide a smooth race day experience for the athlete and their family by taking care of the logistics and making every race an enjoyable and easy experience. They even go the extra step to make each athlete feel special.
One year at IRONMAN Coeur D'Alene the XC staff put together a memorable surprise for Beyer. "As a surprise, Frankie and Troy got my son to fly out to the race. I come around a corner on the run when I felt like s**t and there's Bucky—after he had run a marathon the day before in Wisconsin." The XC staff also makes sure every athlete's race ends with their family and friends waiting for them at the finish line. "It's brilliant," said Beyer.
"IRONMAN encapsulates the challenges, euphoric success, the feelings of gratitude and the highs and lows of life all in 10-12 hours." Terry says. He, Ouida, and Beyer are all participating in multiple IRONMAN events this year. The XC hook keeps them coming back for more and with races in Puerto Rico, Austria, and Arizona—on top of all the perks of racing XC—it's easy to understand why.
"I'm not doing IRONMAN at the most elite level, but I'm doing it for me to continue to push the boundaries physically, emotionally and mentally. Every day I wake up and remember that I'm training for these IRONMAN XC events to get better at life, and better at business, and better at me. I can't think of anything better to put your time into." says Terry.
Allow the details to be taken care of for you. Join the team and experience greatness through the IRONMAN Executive Challenge program.

He said liquidation of the pro- gram was urged upon the admin- istration by the National Assn. o: Real Estate Boards, which he de scribed as "the strongest and mos influential voice in the determina tion of housing policies under this administration." He said selling o the projects would mean that most I public housing program, but it left Warm Clothes Given First of Needy Children HE first group o: more than 800 needy Winona children were taken to the stores Tuesday to be outfitted with warm win- fr clothing by f Dodfellow work- ers. Mqst of the first group were in need new shoes and over- shoes, while a few of the boys needed trousers. One little girl received a warm, winter coat. Two boys wore only tennis shoes and said they had no others. Most of the children wore shoes which were beyond repair. At first glance these children looked as though they were fairly well clothed. But on a closer look, ifcould be seen that the shoes were badly worn and their coats were often unlined or in too poor shape to last through the winter. The striking thing about these underprivileged children was that when asked what they needed most, none of them asked for things such as: dresses, shirts and the like for looks alone. Every child asked for things which would keep him warm and dry this winter. They asked for new shoes, overshoes and warm coats only the essentials. children were an ex- ample of the needy which the Goodfellows will clothe this year, agreed both Mrs. Thomas Lightfoot and Mrs. Lester Har- ris, Goodfellow workers for 11 years. The children only for clothes to keep warm in the cold Minnesota winter when Hiey walk to school or play outdoors, the workers said. Many of the children were shy. One boy is still recovering from the effects cf polio. He asked only for a pair of trousers. Every day this month the Good- fellow workers will be taking chil- dren to the stores to be fitted with warm winter clothes. Several groups will be fitted each day until every one of the more than 800 needy Winona children is clothed witp the essential items necessary to I face the bitter winter. This means a lot of work for the Good- fellow workers. These workers give unstintingly of their time, day aiter day. Won't you help, too, by contributing to the Goodfellows fund? The mcuey is needed NOW, so that the Goodfellows can plan their purchasing for each child. It is dif- ficult for them to determine how much can be spent on each child until they have an indication of how much money they will have to work with. Thus, yesterday morning when a little girl was bad- ly in need of new shoes, overshoes and a coat, purchase of the coat had to be postponed until it is cer- tain that enough money will be contributed to the Goodfellows. Every cent of the Goodfellows fund is spent wisely and carefully where it will do the most good. The stores give discounts and the bills go to the Association of Com- merce where they are audited and paid out of the fund accumulated by your generosity. Be an early Goodfellow.

There is pres- sently no evidence of any room for compromise between the Soviet determination to expand its power and the determination expressed by the United States at least on the Western side to force that pow- er to pull back. Hence, authorities here believe the problem in any four-power meeting will be to fix responsibil- ity for failure to reach agreement. One initial but widespread reac- tion on this point was that it would be wise to try to nail the Russians exchange of notes with Russia. Two sets of facts stand out in this regard: 1. Secretary of State Dulles told a news conference yesterday the only real issue in East-West rela- tions is a "fresh breath of free- dom" behind the Iron Curtain. In other words, Dulles says, the West- ern Powers' purpose in meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Molo- tov will be to try to reduce the I Churchill on Way to Parley In Bermuda TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda Wl Prime Minister Church- ill winged over the Atlantic today to the Big Three meeting here which he hopes will be a major step toward the last big goal of his crowded world peace. French Premier Laniel was ex- pected tomorrow and President Eisenhower Friday. An authorita- tive source reported the U.S. Chief Executive hoped to win France's ratification of the European army pact with an assurance America would maintain its present "com- bat effectiveness" in Europe if France okayed the army plan. Churchill's American-built Strat- ocruiser, which left London late last night, was scheduled to refuel at Gander, Nfld., and arrive in Bermuda in mid-afternoon. This holiday spot's worst record- ed storm blew out to sea in ad- vance of Sir Winston's arrival after drenching the island yesterday with inches of rain in just an hour. A fresh northeasterly wind brought clear weather. The most stringent security reg- ulations in Bermuda's history were set up to guard the Big Three during: their talks, which begin Friday. Troops, barbed wire and other devices ringed the confer- ence headquarters, the Mid-Ocean here, to make it as nearly spy- proof and assassin-proof as pos- sible. May Pass Over Questioning of Canadian Citizen By JOHN CHADWICK WASHINGTON (ffl Senate spy hunters meet today to decide what to do about questioning Igor Gou- zenko. They disclosed yesterday that the FBI reported information from the former Russian code clerk had enabled it to identify a U.S. scientist as a Soviet agent. Chairman Jenner (R-Ind) of the Senate internal security subcom- mittee, indicated the group was not likely to press the issue in view of Gouzenko's reported objection to being questioned. Jenner said in an interview in Louisville, Ky., "I don't want him to testify if he feels it will endanger him and his family." Once Willing Gouzenko, who once expressed willingness to talk to the investi- gators, said in a copyrighted ar- ticle written for the St. Louis Post- Dispatch and Toronto Telegram he decided not to allow the interview, for reasons of personal and family .safety. He has been living in an undisclosed place under an as sumed name, with Canadian gov- ernment protection. The internal security subcommit- tee, in releasing excerpts from the November 1945 FBI report, deleted the name of the scientist de- scribed by the FBI as a wartime consultant to Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King, then commander in chief of the U.S. fleet. The FBI said, as quoted by the subcommittee, that its information indicated the scientist may have furnished data on the Navy's prox- imity fuse to Dr. Allan Nunn May, British scientist who confessed in 1946 to passing atomic secrets to the Russians, Report Revealed This portion of the FBI report was revealed by the subcommittee as one of the reasons it wants to question Gouzenko, who fled from the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa in September 1945 and tipped Canadi- an authorities to a Russian spy network reaching into the United States. The excerpts were described as part of the 71-page report which Atty. Gen. Brownell has said was sent to former President Truman and various officials in November 1945. The documents, containing in- formation about an alleged espion- age ring in the government, was reported sent to then Secretary of the Navy James B. Forrestal, among others. After a closed meeting on pro- cedure, the subcommittee goes into public session today to question William Ludwig Ullmann, who has been named as a member of a wartime Soviet spy ring along with the late Harry Dexter White and others. Brownell has a-sserted that Tru- man promoted White in the face of FBI reports that White was a Rus- sian spy, Truman has replied he refrained from stopping an ap- pointment for White to safeguard an FBI probe. Ullmann is a former subordinate and associate of White in the A Stand In Times Square which specializes in out of town newspapers did a rushing business Tuesday nigh; as New Yorkers, eager for the printed word, got it from distant sources.

By NEW YORK city without newspapers develops a nervous twitch. Its inhabitants veer toward news- stands, reach in coat pockets for non-existent papers and restlessly scan car ads in subways and buses.

Outwardly the city, in the fourth day of a strike against the major dailies, went about its business as usual.

LOCAL WEATHER Warns Unity of Free World Only Way to Survive President's Views On Controversy Prepared in Advance WASHINGTON (ffi President Eisenhower backing up Secretary of State Dulles' blast at Sen. McCarthy declared today that unity among free nations "is our only hope for survival." Like Dulles, Eisenhower did not mention McCarthy by name. But the President told a news confer- ence he is "in full accord with the statements made yesterday by Secretary Dulles." Dulles had asserted that criti- cism such as that fired by Me-. Carthy attacks the very heart of United States foreign policy. Eisenhower had anticipated ques- tioning about the matter, and an- nounced he had prepared his views in writing because, he said, they would be the only words he would have to say on the subject. Reads Statement The President then read the statement in which he declared: I am in full accord with the statements made yesterday by Secretary Dulles in his press con- ference." McCarthy was handed a copy of the President's statement in the Senate Office Building. He read it carefully, then told newsmen: "Perhaps I will wait and give put a statement Thursday morn- ing." He had previously scheduled a news conference later today. Holding the copy of Eisenhower's statement, McCarthy told newsmen he wanted "to go over this care- fully" and also to spend more time going over Secretary of State Dul- les' statement. Promises Statement- McCarthy said he p r o b a b Ij would have a statement "around 10 or Thursday morning which he said he would probably read for television. After Dulles' statement Tuesday, McCarthy had commented only: "Do you think he could have been referring to Dulles, though not mentioning McCarthy's name, had left DO doubt about it by using some of McCarthy's language in referring to criticism of administration for- eign policy. The President also took sharp issue with McCarthy on another subject-repeating that he believes the Communists in government is- sue will be out of the picture by :he time the congressional elec- tions occur next year, McCarthy told a nationwide ra- dio and television audience last week that Communism would be an issue and that the question of continuing his hunt for subver- sives would be the main issue !n the election of a Republican Congress. It was in the same speech that McCarthy took some cracks at ad- ministration foreign policy. The gist of his criticism was that this country should be tougher in deal- ing with its allies. Eisenhower said that if the Unit- ed States "should turn impatiently o coercion of other free nations, our brand of coercion, so far as our friends are concerned, .vould be a mark of the imperialist rather than of the leader."

Another holiday wall hanging. This one was a breeze to make. It took me less than half a day from start to finish. The center is a panel from Moda's "Crazy 8" line by Sandy Gervais. When I saw it in the LQS I knew I wanted to do something with it. I think the dark borders really complement the panel. Once again I used a decorative stitch on the binding.

Kris, This is way too cute! I love the fabrics you chose for the border. It puts me in mind of a starry night with pines. Great choice and beautiful job.
I LOVE THIS!!! It is so cute and I love that you used dark fabric for the border, it really sets it off. Nice job!

Great job and os so cute! Love it! Using the border helped make the quilt! I love the way it is one to make you smile!
Thanks for all the great comments.
This quilt is AWESOME! I love the choice of fabric colors and patterns. I have never like red and green for Christmas! Your quilt is probably the best I have seen for a Christmas theme. Give yourself a huge pat on your back!

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › MLD SoloMid Stripped Down Weight Sil or Cuben
Can any SoloMid owners or Ron, confirm what the weight of the SoloMid is when stripped down as much as possible? (Removing line-locs, long guy lines, zip pulls, etc). The MLD site says this drops ~2oz from the weight. If you own cuben or sil please indicate and list the actual weighed on scale max stripped weight you achieved or feel it could be… Thanks!
I cannot comment on the weight savings.
But I wouldn't get ride of the line-locs.
They help you pitching your mid, especially if it is the silnylon one or you got to pitch it on uneven ground.
I responded to you on facebook and just want to say I agree that removing the line-locs from a MID is just not a good choice.
@fredfotoLocale: Spain
My SoloMid in Cuben weighs 10.5 oz or 297 g and this includes linelocs and line supplied at purchase.
I agree with the above posters, and wouldn't remove the linelocs either. Great design as is.
Thank you everyone for you thoughtful replies. However, I did not ask about whether line locs are good. I just need the weight of the shelter.
@fredfoto The MLD site says the cuben weighs 9oz stock, yet yours weights 10.5oz. Are you including stuff sack and stakes?
Can someone who owns one, please weigh it with every non-permanently attached item removed? So no stuff sack, no guy line that is not sewn on, no stakes and no line locs if not perm attached.
@fredfotoLocale: Spain
Thats for shelter and linelocks and line only, no stakes or stuff sack. Mine is a couple of years old.

Are House Republicans Listening?
Republican Leader Eric Cantor's SuperPAC released polling yesterday warning Republicans not to focus exclusively on the deficit at the expense of the middle class.
Politico: "Poll warns Republicans of focus on deficit"
A new Republican National Committee report out today warns that the Republican Party is seen as the party of 'stuffy old me.'
Politico:"RNC: Voters see GOP as 'scary' and 'out of touch'"
Political expert Larry Sabato and others have identified the political problem this budget poses for House Republicans.
"Ryan must be doing this because he really believes in it," said University of Virginia political expert Larry Sabato. "There's certainly no political explanation for it that makes sense. His budget is a field day for Democrats." [Post Crescent, 3/15/13]
Despite all this advice and evidence, House Republicans will vote this week for Ryan's budget - which would end the Medicare guarantee for seniors and replace it with a voucher that costs seniors more. At the same time, they'll lower the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent – providing a $200,000 tax cut for millionaires and potentially raising taxes $2,000 on the middle class.

Fans of former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole were divided when images of her massive new tattoo first emerged on t'interweb, with many loving the intricate roses design, while others claimed it was "too much" and "ugly".
And it seems that Cheryl's Girls Aloud band mate Sarah Harding falls into the latter category in terms of her opinion of the inking…
The Daily Star reports, "SARAH HARDING will not be copying former bandmate Cheryl Cole and getting her bum covered in tattoos.
"The singer said she is not keen on the giant rose design covering 30-year-old Chezza's entire backside."
However, she added, "Rosy isn't it? It gives a new meaning to rosy-cheeked.
"I know what used to be there. Only I knew, and the rest of the girls!"
She continued, "I don't think I could do it. Each phoenix took about four hours. I could only do two hours at a time."
Meanwhile, the paper also claims that comedian Russell Brand – who former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lauren Harries claims she had a fling with – is evidently a fan of Cheryl's tattoo, and the rest of her for that matter, as he's apparently invited her along to watch him perform.
The article states, "He plans to woo her with his stand-up routine."
A source close to Brand said, "Russell asked staff to send Cheryl two tickets for tonight's Messiah Complex show in London.
"He even said he hopes she will bring her mum, Joan, along too, because he thinks she's the key to winning Cheryl over.
"Russell reckons if she enjoys the show enough, she might consider going out on a date with him.
"It isn't just a quick fling he's looking for either. Like most men in the country, he's always fancied her."
Here's a reminder of Cheryl on The Graham Norton Show alongside Russell's ex-wife, Katy Perry…
