INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vulcan Materials has filed a lawsuit against Martin Marietta in federal court, accusing the smaller gravel and stone supplier of launching an illegal takeover bid using confidential information.
Vulcan strongly recommended to its shareholders Thursday that they not tender their stock to Martin Marietta, which announced a hostile bid earlier this month.
Martin Marietta, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, has said it plans to take a stock offer directly to Vulcan shareholders after Vulcan cut off negotiations.
In the suit, Vulcan alleges that Martin Marietta used confidential Vulcan information in its bid, in violation of confidentiality agreements the companies had reached after they started discussing a possible deal in May 2010. Those talks ended last June.
The "misuse of information" violates federal securities law and also "offends all notions of business ethics and fair dealing," Vulcan said in a complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama
Martin Marietta said Thursday that it did not believe there were any significant regulatory or legal hurdles to completing the proposed deal. It said Vulcan's announcement doesn't change its view — and that of many Vulcan shareholders — that the offer "represents a compelling opportunity for Vulcan's shareholders."
"Vulcan misses the point by ignoring the significant incremental value creation inherent in this combination," the company said.
Under the offer, valued at about $4.74 billion, Vulcan Materials Co. shareholders would get half a share of Martin Marietta Materials Inc. stock for each of their Vulcan shares. That offer valued Vulcan at $36.69 per share, a 9.4 percent premium, based on the stock's closing price Dec. 9, the last trading day before Martin Marietta's announcement.
Both companies make construction aggregates like crushed stone, sand and gravel. They also produce asphalt mix, concrete and cement. A combination of the two companies would create the largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates, according to Vulcan.
In addition to alleging the illegal use of information, Vulcan on Thursday said that it had filed a counterclaim in Delaware to enjoin the offer and enforce its rights under federal securities law. Martin Marietta had said when it announced its bid that it had filed lawsuits in both Delaware Chancery Court and New Jersey state court to ensure Vulcan shareholders get a chance to consider its offer.
Vulcan, based in Birmingham, Alabama, called Martin Marietta's offer opportunistic and said it seeks to exploit a historic downturn in U.S. construction spending. It also said the proposed deal undervalues Vulcan and its future prospects, and divestitures that likely would be required by federal regulators would hurt the financial results of the combined company.
Vulcan shares climbed 26 cents to $39.14 in midday trading, while Martin Marietta's stock climbed 6 cents to $76.46. Broader trading indexes were up slightly.

My C@C 24 points worse than any other boat in the racing fleet - we are usually 5 to 10 degrees worse off. In previous years, a similar C&C 24 pointed well..so there is a problem with pointing on my boat. What steps can I take to correct this.
Re: pointing
How old are your sails? Are they stretched out at all? A baggy jib will prevent you from pointing well.
Re: pointing
I'm no expert in this area for sure. But I can tell you that the other guys who are experts are going to need alot more details to try and diagnose your problem. And of course pictures always help. Some things you may want to add are does your sail shape look good? ARe you able to get your foresail in close? Is your main making it all the way up the mast? Do you use a taveler? etc etc.. But I'm sure someone else with more knowledge than me will give more specific things to look at.
Re: pointing
Here is a list of things that could contribute to your problems:
Sail condition
Rig tuning
Sail trimmer
Weight distribution
Re: pointing
Great list.
Add to it:
Dirty bottom
bad prop - like fixed 3 blade or a folding / feathering prop that doesn't work properly
Re: pointing
What size jib are you using? My Starwind 27 only came with a 70% storm jib and wouldn't point worth crap. I finally put a 100% on her, and now I can close haul to just a few degrees off the wind. It's like night and day.
Re: pointing
John, you need to work down those lists of possible causes, one by one, and make sure everything is optimized to make the boat fast.
Is your hull or keel dirty? Are your sails blown out? If there's no plastic coating left on them and they don't feel scratchy, odds are they should be used as bedsheets, not sails. Then there's your rigging. Mast, shrouds, stays, all have to be tuned. If your spreaders aren't original (or even if they are) they may be too long. Stock J/24s used to come with spreaders that could be cut down several inches--and the guys who pointed higher always cut them down so the genoa could be hauled in.
Sail trim, weight distribution, crew weight, all can only help so much, but first you need to check out the rest. That can mean someone from a local loft, or someone with more experience, you do what you can. And if you bought the boat used with anonymous sails on it--sometimes they're simply the wrong sails for the boat. You may need a tape measure to check.
It is like playing "where's waldo?". Look carefully, you'll find him.
Re: pointing
Do you have 2 jib tracks? Try the inboard set.
Re: pointing
John, which headsail are you flying? The 155 doesn't point well on mine, but with the 115 flying I can point very high (at the cost of some speed of course). If I ever went to a furler up front I would probably put a 135 on there to give a nice compromise.
Do you have tracks installed on yours, or are you using snatch blocks on the toerail?
Re: pointing
What kind of keel do you have? I've got a Catalina with a wing and I understand that the fin keel will make it point better.

Several researchers associated with Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology have received grants from the Maryland Stem Cell fund.
In the Whiting School of Engineering, awardees include Sharon Gerecht, Kent Gordon Croft Investment Management Faculty Scholar in the Whiting School of Engineering's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and associate director of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology, and Warren Grayson, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Both received MSCRF Investigator Initiated Grants. Gerecht's stem cell project targets diabetic wound treatment, and Grayson's targets volumetric muscle loss.
In addition, Dhruv Vig, a post-doctoral student in INBT and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, received one of the organization's Post-Doctoral Fellowship Grants for his project "Geometric Cues in the Establishment and Maintenance of Heterogeneous Stem Cell Colonies."
According to Vig, the goal of this investigation is to introduce a new way of characterizing the potency and/or differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells.
"Our work uses an innovative blend of mathematical modeling and experimental approaches to shed light on the role of physical forces and geometric constraint involved in the establishment and maintenance of proper stem cell functions," explains Vig, who is advised by Gerecht and Sean Sun, professor and vice-chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Other INBT affiliated faculty members who received the grants include Guo-li Ming, M.D., Ph.D., targeting schizophrenia and autism and Michael McMahon, Ph.D., targeting intervertebral disc degeneration, both from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Of the 26 MSCRP grants, 21 went to Hopkins-affiliated researchers. The purpose of these grants and fellowships is to promote state-funded stem cell research.

Safety meetings for snowboarders (paging MPD)
Wow! That's not too bad at all. Yeah, as far as travelling is concerned via air the best thing to do would be to pick up your papers, etc upon arrival. Never a shortage of head shops in Canada at least. By car I usually bring my Bakoda Herbalizer kit, a crapload of different flavoured blunts and a few bats. The cigarette bats may not hold much but they sure fool a lot of people!
ehh, i like my bics. and haven't smoked out of a metal pipe since i was like 11. that shit tastes naaaasty! i'm all about the glass...and joints for safety meetings ;)
hahaha that shit is good idea
the only problem with glass is that you don't use a screen...so you can't be smoking no shwag, gotta smoke tasty nugs. i mean, you can smoke shwag, but nugs are always better, lol. but when you get one, make sure the hole inside isn't too too big because without using a screen you tend to pull stuff through if you pull too hard.
other than that, it tastes much better, as you're only tasting the herb (and resin) and not the metal (or wood).
i'll ask for you for secret santa on sb.com & send ya a lil one :D
i know a few glass blowers that can spin me up something decent but cheap.
i got one in my SS from whatshername last year. and a certain person from this site has sent me one in the mail, too! although it was broken when i got it...big hole that shoulda been filled with some of the bounty of his harvests ;) but i guess that's more of a liability
i love all you kynd people :D
i guess i could just send you one though...no need for SS, lol.
i was on probation for 5 years & never once failed a test. well, okay...once, but that was just because my probation switched from NY to VA & they gave me a couple months in between that i took advantage of & didn't care when they went to test me my first time in VA. but after that i would just drink water before my test & i never pissed dirty...well, not that they saw ;) my P.O. knew what was up, but he didn't care as long as my tests kept coming back negative. he even said he wished he had a full cabinet of cases like me :D
mpd, i've used those glass screens your talking about. if the piece is all res'd up you can get it to stick in there but a lot of times you lose them. they do work really well and are generally cheap if lost.

|Range Slice Issue
|Tue, 03 May 2011 17:31:55 GMT
We appear to have encountered an issue with cassandra 0.7.5 after upgrading from 0.7.2. While doing a batch read using a get_range_slice against the ranges an individual node is master for we are able to reproduce consistently that the last two nodes in the ring, regardless of the ring size (we have a 60 node production cluster and a 12 node test cluster) perform this read over the network using replicas of executing locally. Every other node in the ring successfully reads locally. To be sure there were no data consistency issues we performed a nodetool repair against both of these nodes and the issue persists. We also tried truncating the column family and repopulating, but the issue remains. This seems to be related to CASSANDRA-2286 in 0.7.4. We always want to read data locally if it is available there. We use Cassandra.Client.describe_ring() to figure out which machine in the ring is master for which TokenRange. I then compare the master for each TokenRange against the localhost to find out which token ranges are owned by the local machine (remote reads are too slow for this type of batch processing). Once I know which TokenRanges are on each machine locally I get evenly sized splits using Cassandra.Client.describe_splits(). Adam

To The MeMbers
Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the seventy-first Annual report and the Audited Financial statements of the Company for the financial year 2014-15.
(Rs in Lakhs)
|For the year ended March 31, 2015
|For the Period January 1, 2013 to March 31,
|Profit before Tax
|Profit After Tax
|balance brought forward
|Profit available for
|Appropriations :
|Dividend (Proposed)
|Corporate Dividend Tax
|Transfer to reserves
|balance carried forward
@ Includes Corporate Dividend Tax of Rs 27.91 Lakhs for the year ended December 31, 2012.
* With effect from previous financial year, the Company has changed its accounting year from year ended December 31 to year ended March 31.
Your Directors have pleasure in recommending a dividend of Rs 31/- per share on 2,12,49,302 fully paid-up equity shares of Rs 10/- each of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2015. The proposed dividend, if approved at the Annual General Meeting, will absorb a sum of Rs 65,87.28 Lakhs (Previous year : Rs 48,87.34 Lakhs) and Corporate Dividend Tax of Rs 13,41.02 Lakhs (Previous year : Rs 8,30.60 Lakhs). The Corporate Dividend Tax is provided at the rate applicable on the day on which the Financial statements were approved by the board of Directors.
During the year, Rs 22,89.59 Lakhs was transferred to General reserve. The total reserves as on March 31, 2015 amounted to Rs 916,27.83 Lakhs comprising of Amalgamation reserve Rs 37.82 Lakhs, Capital reserve Rs 5,22.62 Lakhs, Capital redemption reserve Rs 2,52.48 Lakhs, General reserve Rs 242,01.91 Lakhs and surplus as per the statement of Profit & Loss amounting to Rs 666,13.00 Lakhs.
According to the World economic outlook published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy expanded at 3.3% in 2014, reflecting a moderate growth over the previous year in spite of challenging economic conditions and heightened geo-political tensions during the year. While developing countries and emerging economies continued to witness slowdown, there was a steady recovery in advanced economies, particularly the Us, which benefitted from low oil prices and steady improvements in job creation and consumer confidence. In China, growth slowed down to its lowest in the last 24 years at 7.4%, short of the governments target of 7.5%. (source: IMF) In India, economic activity saw a marked revival as a result of positive structural reforms by the new government. The core sectors of banking, insurance, defence and infrastructure saw bold steps being taken after a gap of many years. Another step taken during the year was a change in the GDP calculation methodology - the Central statistics organisation (Cso) changed the base year for GDP calculation from 2004-05 to 2011-12. In addition, in line with international practices, GDP will now be measured at market prices compared to GDP at factor cost. Post this revision, the Indian GDP growth rate at constant prices for financial year 2014-15 was 7.4% compared to 6.9% in the previous fiscal year. The new method will also increase the size of the Indian economy to around Rs 126.5 Lakhs Crores at current prices (estimate as of February 2015). Low oil prices, particularly in the second half of the year, eased inflation. This prompted the reserve bank of India (rbI) to ease monetary policy and lower interest rates in January 2015.
The all-round India growth story continues to remain strong and attractive. both IMF and World bank have predicted that the Indian economy will grow at 7.5% in 2015-16 and 2016-17. This is positive for the Indian Pharmaceutical Market.
The Indian Pharmaceuticals Market (IPM) is estimated to have grown from Rs 72,000 Crores in 2013 to Rs 79,000 Crores in 2014. IMs health (IMs), a leading healthcare global information and technology services company, estimates the Compounded Annual Growth rate (CAGr) for IPM to be in the range of 10%-11% till 2018.
some of the key features of the IPM are :
IPM occupies an important position in the global pharmaceuticals industry. In terms of volumes, it was the 3rd largest market in the world in 2014, a position it has retained since 2013.
IPM has consistently grown at a CAGr of 10%-11%over the last few years and has shown resilience in spite of a global economic slowdown and local regulatory challenges.
The market continues to remain fragmented, with over 24,000 players; however, there are only approximately 330 players in the organized sector.
The market continues to be dominated by branded- generics and more recently generic-generic products. Generic drugs form 72% of the total market and oTC drugs contribute approximately 19%.
As far as therapeutic segments are concerned, Anti- Infectives form the largest sub-segment of IPM with 16% followed by Cardiovascular at 13% (in value terms).
The top 10 companies account for around 40% of total sales and top 30 companies together account for nearly 75% of total sales. Among the top 10 companies in IPM space, 7 Indian companies account for almost 70% of the market with the 3 MNCs making up the balance 30%. Price levels continue to remain low driven by intense competition.
The overall improvement in the Indian economy will continue to remain one of the key growth drivers of IPM in the short term and will be characterized by :
Healthcare as a Priority Sector - In 2014-15 Union budget, healthcare has been declared as a priority sector by the government. Key recommendations that are likely to impact IPM in the medium term include raising the limit in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in medical insurance to 49%.
Increased Focus on IPM - The Government of India has unveiled Pharma Vision 2020 aimed at making India a global leader in end-to-end drug manufacturing. It has reduced approval times for new facilities to boost investments. The industry is also expecting friendly policies and incentives to give a major thrust to the growth.
Improving Rural Market - 70% of Indias population is in rural markets. over the last few years, there has been a significant increase in healthcare awareness as well as healthcare spend in rural India. As income levels rise in rural India, the rural markets present a big opportunity for growth.
Increasing Digital Penetration - With the growth in digital media (including social media) and mobile, new patient engagement tools and technologies are being aggressively tested by various players. We expect this trend to continue and gain in importance in aspects such as patient awareness and diagnosis.
According to McKinsey & Company, the rise in the prevalence and treatment of diseases, increased affordability due to greater health insurance coverage and rising incomes, increase in medical infrastructure, launch of patented products and new market creation in newer therapies will drive growth of the Indian Pharmaceutical Market.
(source : IMs, India brand equity Foundation)
The following factors are likely to impact the IPM in the next few years :
The mix of therapies will continue to gradually move in favour of specialty and super-specialty therapies. According to McKinsey & Company, mass therapies will constitute about half the market by 2020.
Metro and Tier-I markets will make significant contributions to growth, driven by rapid urbanisation and greater economic development. rural markets will grow the fastest, driven by step-up from current poor levels of penetration.
The affordability of drugs will rise due to sustained growth in incomes and increase in insurance coverage.
With real GDP growing at nearly 8% over the next decade, income levels will rise steadily.
In addition to income growth, health insurance coverage will augment affordability. by 2020, McKinsey & Company expects nearly 650 million people to be covered by health insurance.
The acceptability of modern medicine and newer therapies will increase due to aggressive market creation by players, an increased acceptance of biologics and preventive medicine, and a greater propensity to self-medicate. Players will shape the patient funnel, especially for chronic therapies such as cardiovascular and neuropsychiatry.
The hospital segment will increase its share and influence, growing to 25% of the market in 2020, from the current 13%.
Financial Performance Sales :
Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2015 amounting to Rs 2237,60.25 Lakhs grew at 25.4%* over the prior period which is significantly higher than the 10.7%* growth achieved last year. each of the businesses achieved double digit growth, as highlighted in the Division-wise Performance.
Material Cost and Manufacturing :
Due to various inflationary pressures, Material Cost increased to 58.6% of Net sales as compared to 58.1% that was achieved in the prior period.
Employee Benefit Expenses :
During the year under review, the Company augmented its people strength by 3.7% to 2,867. The increase of 27.4%* in employee Cost is mainly due to merit increase and sales incentives.
Other Expenses :
The Company continued to keep a tight control on all discretionary spending like Advertising & Promotional spend and, therefore, has managed to bring down the other expenses from 19.4% of Net sales last year to 16.7% of Net sales this year.
Other Income : other Income for the year under review includes Profit on sale of residential Properties amounting to Rs 1,87 Lakhs this year against Rs 12,22 Lakhs last year.
Further, the investment strategy of the Company is reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee. The Company continued to invest in bank Deposits, with a view to safeguarding the principal and maintaining liquidity. The Company has an investment portfolio as at March 31, 2015 of approximately Rs 603,67.36 Lakhs generated out of operating surplus.
Profit Before Tax :
Profit before Tax for the year ended March 31, 2015 stood at Rs 344,36.08 Lakhs, which was significantly higher at 15.4% of Net sales as compared to 13.2% of Net sales in the prior period. This was largely due to higher sales, and other cost control measures and initiatives as mentioned above.
The board of Directors has recommended a dividend of Rs 31/- per equity share.
Division-wise Performance
The Company operates in single reportable business segment i.e. pharmaceuticals.
The Companys business operations are divided into four divisions. The key performance highlights of each business division for the year 2014-15 are as follows :
Womens Health, Gastroenterology and Hepatic Care Division Womens Health :
This segment grew by 20.3%* in 2014-15. Duphaston, one of the flagship brands, dominates the market with approximately 19.7%# market share.
Gastroenterology :
This segment posted a strong growth of 22.2%* in 2014-15. This growth was majorly driven by Cremaffin, which grew at 26.1%* vs. 18.7%* in the prior period.
Hepatic Care :
This segment grew by 42.2%* in 2014-15 heptral growing at 15.2%* continued to drive the growth of this segment.
Specialty Care Division
Metabolics :
This segment continued with its strong performance, growing at 34.8%* in 2014-15. Thyronorm is the undisputed market leader with a market share of 52.6%# and registered a growth of 41.2%* in 2014-15.
Central Nervous System :
This segment grew by 30.2%* in 2014-15. The Company has a portfolio of strong brands in this segment like Zolfresh, Vertin and Prothiaden. A strong commitment to emphasize the importance of sleep and its relationship with chronic disorders, has made Zolfresh the No. 1 brand# in the extended sleep market. In the vertigo treatment sub-segment, the Companys brand Vertin continues its leadership position as the No.1 brand.# In the anti-depression sub-segment, Prothiaden continues to maintain its leadership position.#
General Care Division
This division comprises multi-specialty drugs and applications, and is primarily aimed at general physicians. This division turned the corner in the last year with a 13.5%* growth from negative 4.6% in 2012-13. In the current year, the division continued the momentum with a growth of 19.7%*. All the major brands in the segment like brufen, Digecaine and surbex registered strong performance. Arachitol Nano, a new product launched during the year, achieved sales of Rs 2,83.27 Lakhs within 11 months of launch.
Consumer Care Division
This division is one of the new focus areas of growth for the Company. Its products fall within the oTC category and are targeted directly at patients through TV advertising and engagement programs. This segment grew at 19.4%* in 2014-15. Digene, the flagship brand in this segment, has shown impressive growth of 17.7%* in 2014-15. Digene Fizz has also performed well and registered a sales of Rs 9,08.07 Lakhs during this year.
In 2014, we built further on our long-standing commitment to clinical trial transparency. To facilitate further research that can help advance medical science or improve patient care, we conducted nine trials of which three are on-going, one study on recurrent miscarriage has been published in The Journal of obstetrics and Gynaecology, two studies have been submitted to the journal for publication, while the remaining three are in report writing phase.
A brief snapshot of studies conducted in 2014 is as follows :
An observational study was conducted to profile Chronic Cholestatic Liver diseases in several centres across India. The study is complete and has moved to the report writing phase.
A nationwide epidemiology study was conducted to study Minimal hepatic encephalopathy among patients of Cirrhosis which is also in the report writing phase.
The third surveillance study on physicians prescribing patterns in Acid Peptic Disease in India has been completed.
Constipation and its prevalence and its clinical subtypes in Indian patients is the subject of an ongoing study for which we are currently recruiting patients.
A study on the prevalence of Insomnia in Indian corporate employees has been completed and the report has been submitted to the journals for publication.
Miscarriage and Menstrual Cycle regularisation have formed the subject of two clinical trials that have been completed in the last year, one of which has been published and the other currently being reviewed for publication in prestigious scientific journals.
In addition, we have an ongoing thyroid registry to determine disease and treatment profile in newly diagnosed hypothyroidism patients.
All the studies have been conducted after receiving appropriate regulatory approvals and stringently adhere to international and national guidelines on conduct of clinical trials.
An analysis by IMs shows that the Indian Pharmaceuticals Market will likely grow between 10% and 11% year on year to more than 1 lakh crore by 2018. This growth will be driven by increasing affordability, increasing access particularly as private providers expand to lower tier towns and cities and favourable demographic factors an overall increase in Indian population as well as increased prevalence of chronic, non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer.
For the near future, the Company has identified specific opportunities to leverage this growth, capitalise on its strengths and position itself as a leading science driven pharmaceutical company. some of the identified initiatives include :
The Company is a market leader in 5 out of the 9 therapy areas that it is present in.# The Company will continue to build on its leadership position by entering adjacent therapy areas and launching new molecules which complement its suite of products.
Driving diagnosis and creating patient awareness is another focus area especially through partnerships with other organizations in the healthcare value chain. A successful example of this has been in the area of thyroid through patient screening camps.
To accelerate growth even further, the Company will be entering the Vaccines market with launch of 4 new vaccine brands in 2015. This will continue to be a high focus and high growth area for the Company.
Another expansion area is oTC, with the launch of Consumer Care products. This expansion will be two-pronged 1) Continue to build on the franchise and value of existing brands such as Digene; and 2) enter new oTC segments which the Company is not present in.
The Company also anticipates a strong adoption of technologies which complement our products and KoL engagement strategy. The Company will continue to drive patient diagnosis and treatment using cutting edge tools and new innovations. The use of innovative technology is also being aggressively adopted as part of our regular marketing programs.
During the year, the Company launched 9 new products and will continue launching new products and molecules.
Regulatory Challenges :
The pharmaceutical regulatory environment across the world is becoming more stringent including the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry. The Industry witnessed many important changes and challenges which included the New Pharmaceutical Pricing Policy, additional oversight mechanisms for clinical trials, Fixed Dose Combinations (FDCs) and new rules being notified for new drugs as well as clinical trials.
Various regulatory Committees were formed by the Government to streamline the current processes which resulted in delays of clinical trials and new drug approvals.

Arturo O'Farrill & The Boss Level Sextet

Livio Almeida, saxophone
Travis Reuter, guitar
Bam Bam Rodriguez, bass
Zack O'Farrill, drums
Grammy Award winning pianist and composer Arturo O'Farrill -- leader of the "first family of Afro-Cuban Jazz" (NY Times) -- is the son of the late, great composer Chico O'Farrill. Arturo played in Carla Bley's Big Band from 1979-83 and earned a reputation as a soloist in groups led by Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Turre, Freddy Cole, Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis and Harry Belafonte. After leading his late father's orchestra for years, Arturo formed his own band, The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, and other groups in order to explore his and other compositions in the panoply of Afro-Latin music. The Boss Level Sextet comes from video-game slang for overcoming obstacles. "It's like a metaphor for life," O'Farrill says. "To reach the next level, sometimes you have to battle the boss." The group's adventurous repertoire includes "They Came" — a reggaetón-inspired piece by Jason Lindner, celebrating mestizo cultures of the New World.

Supporting Communities & Business
It is easy to think of a National Park as wide, near empty landscapes, but the South Downs National Park is the most populated National Park in the UK, with 112,000 people living here and over 2 million living within 5 kilometres of its boundary. Our vibrant towns and villages are one of our special qualities and we are working hard to support the villages and towns in and around the National Park to enhance the vital role they play as social and economic hubs.
There are an estimated 7000 businesses located in the National Park providing employment for more than 58,000 people and contributing to both the local and regional economy.
We are looking at a number of ways to provide support to communities:
- We have worked with partners to create a shared identity for the National Park itself to enable the businesses and communities to benefit from being within it and to encourage more sustainable behaviour from those who enjoy using the National Park.
- We are working with the Government initiative to extend the proposed coverage of high-speed broadband into the more rural parts of the National Park.
- We are supporting 46 communities across the National Park to develop neighbourhood plans.
- We provide small grants to community groups through our Sustainable Communities Fund. For more information please contact the External Funding Co-ordinator on 01730 819219 or email: email@example.com.

my thoughts exactly! drive an hour, put my gun in a lock box in the trunk of the car, get mugged in Minneapolis, wish I had my gun, drive back to SD, cross the state line and strap my gun back on, where I don't need it anyway! :D
Ok, just kidding. It IS great to add another state though! SD is a very good state for CCW, IMO. Thanks for the info Gary! Crexrun
Walther P22, Velocitors, on my side. Ruger P95, Speer Gold Dot 124 +Ps, bedside. Mossberg 500, full of steel shot behind the door. And a Princeton Tec Genesis 3 watt led and a Gerber Ridge knife! Don't steal MY Coors Light!

North Carolina*
North Dakota (including non-resident permits)

*Only SD permits issued to those who are 21 years of age or older are recognized.
Just got this off of the SD website, thought I'd post so people knew. Thanks!

B. Adams,
If you can make it to MN from Vermillion in 30 minutes you are a faster driver than I. If you get a UT non-resident permit you can carry in MN though. I think the price was something like $65 for 5 years and then renewals are only $10 after that. It can be done through the mail too if need be. I have never been to UT and I don't plan on going but it does get you some othe states that the SD permit does not. As for IA, that one may be a lost cause but I am interested to see what happens with the NE permits if they honor any other permits.
I agree with the comment on IA, especially seeing the returns tonight in the Gov race over there. From what I have learned from one of the NE lawmakers, Recip will not be happening anytime soon..
(I am also sandwiched right between IA and NE in the SD Peninsula and watch both states' laws closely)
B. Adams, welcome to CC! We are pretty close neighbors, shoot me a PM sometime. Any ranges or gun stores in Vermillion I need to know about?
No gun stores that I am familiar with in Vermillion other than Wal-Mart. There is a range north of Clay County Rec area west of town. I think they call themselves something like Clay County Sportsmans Club or something like that. They run ads in the Broadcaster during the summer for open shooting. It's been about 10 years since I have shot there but they were a good bunch of guys at the time. I live in the coutry outside Vermillion so I shoot out my back door. You got to love this state!
Thanks for the welcome kastiron. And yeah Jason, Minnesota might be closer to a full hour away, but it's still not that far.
And yeah, I always liked that you can go pretty much anywhere to shoot in South Dakota, as long as there's nothing else around. I usually go out to my boss's house outside of Sioux City (in Iowa) to shoot though, because he's got a lot of good land to shoot on. It was strange the first time because I'm used to just throwing guns in the car and not worrying about it, but in Iowa I have to worry about making sure things are unloaded and locked up. You can't even have a loaded shotgun in your car, which has got to make roadhunting pheasants tough...
I'm also interested in Nebraska's reciprocity, I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm guessing they'll be tougher than most though, since they require training and all that. And the fee is ten times what it is in South Dakota. But while I don't expect anything from Iowa soon, I think eventually something will change. They're already the minority in comparison with other states CCW laws, and as more and more states become shall-issue and reciprocity becomes more common, they'll eventually have to follow the crowd at least a little. Or maybe not, I don't know. That's why I don't live in Iowa.

Today, Representative Brad Wenstrup (OH-02) applauded passage of H.R. 1120, the "Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act," which will address the ongoing legal chaos surrounding President Obama's controversial recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The bill would cease all activity until the legal issues surrounding the legitimacy of the so-called recess appointments are resolved.
"These recess appointments are yet another example of President Obama attempting to bypass Congress to pursue his own agenda," Wenstrup said. "Under his administration, the NLRB has turned sharply to the left, instead of being an impartial arbiter. Today's bill seeks to hold the President accountable to the Constitution and restore economic and legal certainty to job creators and workers in southern Ohio."
"Employers and employees need certainty. We also deserve a government that functions properly and is accountable to the people," Wenstrup added. "When an agency continues to create tremendous legal uncertainty for American businesses, initiated by the president's own actions, I believe it is incumbent on Congress to act."
On January 4, 2012, President Obama made three recess appointments to the NLRB when the Senate was in pro forma session, ignoring the Constitution's "advice and consent" requirement. In January 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that these appointments were unconstitutional. Despite this decision, the NLRB has continued to function, causing employers to question the NLRB's rulings and creating uncertainty and confusion.

I've always believed in investing in the basics and accessorizing or layering with stand out pieces. This is the same train of thought I use when I'm shopping for my hubby. It only makes sense. So, as I was looking around online, I came across the Old Navy Big & Tall section. I was impressed with some of the designs for men that they're offering right now.
Big & Tall / Fall Essentials for Men
After rummaging through the hubby's closet, I realized he needs a few things for fall. Of course, he hates shopping, so that gives me the opportunity to have a little fun. So, I went online and found some things I think he'll like. And that's how I came up with these fall essentials for men. Now, these are items that are great for pairing with other existing pieces in their wardrobe and perfect for layering.
For Him: Parker & Pine Review (Giveaway Closed)
Is there a science when it comes to men's underwear? I've never really given it much thought. Whenever I go shopping for my hubby, I just grab the ones that look the most comfortable. Usually they're cotton, tagless, and in the shape of a boxer brief. That's about it. I've especially never given any thought to men's big and tall underwear. That is until now—and I can thank Parker & Pine for that.
For Him: Neutrogena Men
I am a Neutrogena Ambassador. This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA MEN® and Latina Bloggers Connect.
When it comes to grooming products for my hubby, I make sure that I do the shopping. If it was up to him, he'd buy the cheap and generic stuff. That's fine for some, but I know that these products don't work for his oily skin. They actually do more harm than good. That's why I'm really happy for him to give the Neutrogena Men's line a try.
10 Favorites: Big & Tall
When it comes to shopping for big and tall clothing for the hubby, it can be a challenge. I know I'm not alone in this and I've said it before. Everyone knows how hard it is to find stylish clothing for men—that's not too trendy. Especially, in the stores. That's why I went online and found 10 favorites that would be perfect for late spring and summer.
Father's Day Gift Ideas: Dollar Shave Club
Let's be honest. You're going to run across countless posts on "Father's Day Gift Ideas." They will either be products you'll love or hate. I'm hoping the Dollar Shave Club is one you'll love, because this is pretty cool. Especially, for the dad's out there that have to shave pretty much every day.
For Him: Lubriderm Father's Day Giveaway (closed)
I'm going to try really hard to not cry while writing this post. I love my papa. I care about him more than I think he knows. He might joke around about me being his "other mother" whenever we go (or when I force him to go) to his doctor's appointments. I can't help it, I love the guy. No, we didn't have the perfect relationship as I was growing up, but he worked his hands to the bone to provide for us. This Father's Day, let's celebrate the dad's in our lives and show them they are appreciated. How about we start with a Lubriderm giveaway?

Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federal program that provides rental assistance to low-income families in the private rental market through the Housing Assistance Payments Program. This program is a win-win for both the landlords and the tenants. Landlords still have the ability to choose their tenants, but, if they select a tenant receiving rental assistance, they are assured of receiving a subsidy payment made directly to them.
To be eligible for participation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program, an applicant or applicants must meet the following criteria established in the Housing Authority of Champaign County's Administrative Plan:
As a condition for receiving rental assistance, one able bodied 18 - 54 years must maintain continuous full time employment for at least 25 hours per week. All other able bodied 18 - 54 household members must also maintain a minimum of 25 hours employment per week or combination of participating in school or job training.
Since the unit must meet HUD Standards and the rent must be approved under HUD Regulations, the unit will be inspected to ensure that it meets HUD Housing Quality Standards (HQS). The prospective tenant will also be mailed a copy of the inspection repair list, if applicable. Click here to read the HQS frequently asked questions.
The top ten reasons why apartments fail inspections are the following:
- Faulty electrical wiring, outlets and other electrical hazards
- Missing or malfunctioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
- Peeling paint and crumbling plaster
- Inadequate heat and/or hot water
- Inoperable appliances
- Tripping hazards
- Evidence of rodent infestation
- Broken windows or windows that won't lock
- Broken door locks/security issues
Rent Payments
The HACC will issue subsidy payments directly to the owner. Checks will be mailed on the last business day of the month prior to the month the rent is due. Extra charges by an owner to a tenant must be approved by the HACC rental assistance program office and noted on the lease prior to any owner collecting such charges from any tenant.
If you are a landlord and are interested in participating in the Section 8 program please contact the Section 8 department at (217) 378-7100 x5010.

A few of my lovely readers have been asking me to share photos of my snail mail packages that I've been sending to my penfriends. I created this one (above) a couple of weeks ago and since it's safely arrived at it's destination, I thought I'd share what I sent.
I do love making these cardstock letter holders and they are super easy to do. It's just a piece of 12 " cardstock, with the bottom 1/3 sliced off it and then reattached to create a pocket. I machine stitch it together like a book and then add a zig-zag stitch on the sides of the pocket. Pop some fabric tape (or washi) along the pocket edge, a pretty paper doily on the front and you're pretty much ready to fill it with snail mail goodies.
I'm always keeping my eye out for flat objects that can be 'prettied' up to send - little envelopes, plain tags, stickers and washi tape are a few of my favourites. I also whipped up a fabric bookmark for this package (great for sending as they're flat) and a fabulous inexpensive gift to send to crafty friends are button tags - simply hand stitch some buttons onto a little tag.
Nice tea bags are also a favourite thing that I like to pop in my snail mail letters - providing the recipient likes tea, of course. Other great goodies to send (pop them in a cute mini envelope) are Project Life journaling cards, decorative stickers, teeny tiny paper doilies and one of my other favourite things to include is a recipe.
I might do a few more posts on snail mail goodies to send/create soon. It's really enjoyable to put together a fun package for my penfriends and a great way to fill in an evening at home!
As I said, the letter was super easy to create, but if anybody is stuck and would like a step-by-step tutorial on putting one together, just let me know.

text: SAN MATEO, Calif., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, the provider of a leading cloud-based marketing software platform, today announced that Birst has replaced its legacy marketing automation platform with Marketo's easy, powerful and complete marketing software. Birst switched to Marketo to boost its lead generation efforts as it continues to grow and expand internationally. The leading provider of enterprise-caliber cloud BI selected Marketo for its unique flexibility and rich functionality. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130408/AQ90073LOGO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070917/AQM011LOGO) Providing rich business intelligence capabilities to more than 1,000 organizations, Birst is one of today's fastest-growing global B2B software providers. Birst's dynamic dashboards, reporting and analytics enable business users to combine data from different systems and obtain answers to pressing business questions quickly. Birst experienced many setbacks with its prior marketing automation solution. For one, data synchronization between it and Salesforce.com took upwards of two hours. This not only bogged down the marketing team's fast-paced environment, but it also made it impossible to act on lead behavior effectively. Additionally, the antiquated system required a tremendous investment of resources to manage its cumbersome software. Birst's stakeholders wanted an intelligent system with sophisticated integration—and one that didn't break the marketing department's budget. Birst discovered the cost to purchase Marketo's solutions was half the cost of the renewal rate of its previous marketing platform. The leap to Marketo was the clear choice. After the switch, Birst cut their administration time in half using modern capabilities such as automated data field updates, auto responders, and real-time website API integration. This resulted not only in an agile upgrade, but also deliver important cost savings. In addition, Marketo integrated with Salesforce.com seamlessly, eliminating tedious batch synchronization, allowing the team to leverage real-time pipeline visibility and drive increased revenues.
