Luis Suarez has been the best player in the Premier League this season. His behaviour has improved markedly on the pitch as part of a concerted effort to earn redemption for past misdemeanours.
Liverpool owe much of their remarkable ascent from top-four hopefuls to bonafide title challengers to Suarez's relentless goalscoring and unflinching commitment to the cause.
His transformation is complete in the eyes of his peers, who booed his inclusion in the Team of the Year at last season's Professional Footballers' Association awards dinner but this year voted to give him their main accolade.
This week, members of the Football Writers' Association get their turn with voting closing on Monday ahead of its own Player of the Year award night on May 15. Suarez is widely expected to pick that up, too.
Yet, I cannot bring myself to vote for him. One of the founding fathers of the FWA, Charles Buchan, said in 1947 the award should go "to the professional player who by precept and example is considered by a ballot of the members to be the footballer of the year".
And so it seems incompatible with the values of the award to hand it to someone who has spent 15 per cent of this season banned for biting another player.
Consider this: had Suarez been suspended for six games in February for such an appalling act, would his popularity have endured sufficiently to win any individual honours in April and May? It is highly unlikely.
So doesn't that lay things open to claims of hypocrisy if Suarez receives an award based on the entirety of this season? Should that punishment be diminished just because it happened at the start? Now, it could be argued in opposition that Suarez committed his last appalling act in the previous campaign and has since apologised to Branislav Ivanovic.
That much is true but Suarez's indiscretions are so severe that the time spent in repentance should be greater than 31 games. Also, it is of course welcome that Suarez posed with a banana alongside many other players to show their support for Dani Alves following the appalling racism the Barcelona defender suffered at Villarreal on Sunday.
But, remember, Suarez has never apologised for racially abusing Patrice Evra, an act for which an independent regulatory commission found him guilty and fined him £40,000 on top of an eight-game ban. Suarez's use of the word "negro" is not in dispute — he admitted using it once himself (although not the seven times claimed in the commission's 115-page report) — and for that alone he should recognise his error.
Suarez has every right to prove himself a reformed character and he is a long way towards doing so. For example, he is still prone to moments of excruciating simulation (incidentally, a reason why I did not vote for Gareth Bale last year) but by and large, diving has diminished from his game.
Other contenders have not spent the season emerging from such a dark cloud. This is nothing against Liverpool, incidentally, as Steven Gerrard must be considered a prominent candidate given the way in which his fine form has been supplemented by his leadership and humility during a campaign of heightened emotions due to the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
Scott Parker won the award for similar diligence with West Ham in 2011. This season, Manchester City's Yaya Toure and Chelsea's Eden Hazard are the other players foremost in my thinking, both excelling without controversy.
Suarez is a phenomenal player and a pleasure to watch but for me, and I know I'm in a minority, his is a talent still tainted by his past.
But if he stays at Liverpool (and given the support they showed him after he agitated to leave, he owes them at least another season) and performs with the same application next season, he will get my vote without question.

Cole proves he still has what it takes to board plane for Brazil
Ashley Cole is right in one sense: some people probably do want him to fail. That's what you get when you shoot a work experience boy, call the Football Association a "#BUNCHOFTWATS" and endure serial allegations of adultery. To name but three controversies.
But it was suggested in this column prior to Cole's return from exile at Chelsea that the left-back remains among the best performers in his position and nothing witnessed in his flurry of recent performances offered anything to contradict the idea it would be a mistake to omit him from the World Cup squad.
Leighton Baines may be Roy Hodgson's first choice after a fine season at Everton, while plenty will champion Luke Shaw's cause at Southampton given his untapped potential aged just 18. England need to lay foundations for future tournaments and Shaw's inclusion would blood him for further involvement but there is a point at which planning meets pragmatism — Cole (left) remains better than both Shaw and Baines at marking a specific threat and forming a cohesive defensive unit.
The 33-year-old embodied the professionalism and diligence required by Chelsea in keeping clean sheets at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. Shaw would be considered unlucky to miss out but his time will come.
England will face superior teams at the World Cup and will defend in numbers at times. Cole is perfectly suited for that eventuality and would warrant one last hurrah.
Balotelli must learn to look in the mirror
As another club begin to run out of patience with Mario Balotelli, the 23-year-old would do well not to rewrite the past as he considers his future.
His latest outburst — a tense exchange with Sky Italia Studio hosts on live TV shortly after arguing with his boss Clarence Seedorf over his substitution during AC Milan's 2-0 defeat to Roma — has pushed him closer to the exit door with Arsenal and Spurs among those linked with a move.
The irritation Balotelli has caused is not confined to club football, with Cesare Prandelli now reportedly considering using Antonio Cassano as a false nine at the World Cup if the former Manchester City striker cannot be relied upon.
And that irritation is not confined to Italy either, despite Balotelli's declaration to the contrary on Twitter. "Mamma mia, I divide Italy in 2! Wow! While nearly everyone abroad is united with me," he wrote. Not quite. There is no doubting his talent (on a good day) but the baggage he gradually accumulated at Manchester City made him a divisive figure. One day he will realise the common denominator in his various travails is him. "Why always me?" he once asked. Because you keep doing idiotic things, Mario.
Time is on his side to mature into the consistently effective footballer his prodigious gifts suggest he can be but were any Premier League side to tempt Milan into selling, nobody could deny his arrival would be something of a gamble.
Long journey ahead if Giggs is to match Pep
Ryan Giggs looks good in a suit. He also has the authority of a midfielder whose service to one club makes him an institutionalised icon.
But to begin comparing him with Pep Guardiola on the basis of a 4-0 win over relegation-threatened Norwich is absurd. An individual with 962 games for Manchester United, almost all of which came under one of the greatest managers of all time, has the foundations to become a great coach.
The 40-year-old could be anything as a manager. But Guardiola was already in charge of Barcelona aged 37 and had a year coaching the B team prior to his promotion. Of course, Guardiola was fortunate to inherit the holy trinity of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi but he also jettisoned Ronaldinho, Deco, Gianluca Zambrotta, Giovani dos Santos and Edmilson before promoting Sergio Busquets, Pedro and Jeffren Suarez while signing Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Alexander Hleb and Seydou Keita.
Guardiola then imposed a frenetic pressing style that prompted one of the most successful periods in the club's history. Giggs has been in management for a week. He has the temperament and pedigree to succeed but let's give him time to earn such an accolade.

The mysterious 'People Who Know Such Things' informed me a couple of weeks ago that one of the most searched-for TVs on TrustedReviews was Toshiba's 32AV615D. So since then I've been on a mission to track this model down - resulting in one finally being deposited at my premises earlier this week.
It doesn't take many minutes of research to understand precisely why this set has been garnering so much interest. For a quick online search found it selling via a number of e-tailers for under £300 - a truly stunning price for a 32in TV from an established brand.
In fact, an expanded online search finds that even specialist budget brand Goodmans can only offer a 32in LCD TV for £4 more than this Toshiba. Remarkable stuff! Especially as the 32AV615 doesn't by any means only boast a totally stripped down specification.
We'll get to this specification in a moment, but first we're happy to report that the 32AV615 doesn't wear its extreme cheapness on its sleeve, boasting a design as glossy and unpretentiously attractive as Toshiba's 32AV635 step-up models. You even still get the illuminated Toshiba logo along the bottom edge, for heaven's sake. (Though you can turn this off if you find it vulgar!)
Connections aren't as absolutely bog-standard as I would have anticipated, either. Particularly satisfying for £296 is the presence of three HDMIs where I'd only expected two, and a dedicated PC port.
There's no sign of the USB port found on the 32AV635, so you can't play in JPEG, MP3 and DivX files from USB storage devices. But this is totally acceptable for the 32AV615's money.
More than acceptable for £296, meanwhile, are the screen's HD Ready 1,366 x 768 native resolution, claimed dynamic contrast ratio of 18,000:1, and use of Toshiba's Active Vision video processing system.
Regarding the contrast ratio, you can, of course, find much higher figures if you spend loads more cash. But 18,000:1 nonetheless promises better black levels than you usually find among the budget TV brigade. In fact, finding a dynamic contrast system (where the TV continually adjusts its backlight output in response to the darkness of the pictures being shown) at all is itself by no means a given when you get down to pricing as aggressive this.
I got my 32AV615D last week and was looking for a TR review before I bought it so a bit too late for that now.
I'm well chuffed with it. It's my new bedroom telly replacing a 26" Dell. For the money it's great. The only real disappointment for me was the sound which is noticeably weak compared to the Dell. But then that had huge speakers on the sides which made it the same size as this but uglier.
The 32AV635 can be bought for £319 on amazon at the moment.
herse hoping the pricing of this set brings down the prices of the more tolerable lcd's with reduced motion blur
Was well happy with my purchase until you pointed that out :(

To me it's like cutting an episiotomy - you're guaranteed surgery and no good bugs, no squeezing, no labour stress, and if you're unlucky you get other complications as well (like an episiotomy gives you 2nd degree cut, with 4th if you're unlucky, as opposed to maybe not even tearing)

If the pregnant woman is about ready to start labour anyway, and the induction is likely to work effectively, it might be preferable. In the many cases where a woman is induced at 40 weeks or with no sign of being 'ripe', why put her *and* her baby through all that when they'll probably end up with surgery anyway? Not that either of those options is ideal, but sometimes that's the choice a woman is faced with.

Conan O'Brien Scores White House Correspondents Dinner Hosting Gig
Posted Wednesday February 20, 2013 2:25 PM GMT
He has always been quick on his feet and ready with the witty banter, so it's no wonder Conan O'Brien has been tapped to host the annual White House Correspondents Dinner this year.
The crimson-haired late night host will man the emcee duties on April 27th making it his second time overall.
FOX News' Chief White House reporter Ed Henry announced the news, tweeting, "@ConanObrien was terrific at '95 correspondents dinner w/Clinton – excited about @TeamCoco return engagement April 27 @andyrichter."
And given the plethora of celebrities and media personalities slated to attend, we're sure Team Coco will have a fertile field from which to pick his roast victims!

North football coach Kenneth Johnson and his Vikings team can't wait until Friday. Kenmore coach Tom McKinnon and his squad feel the same way.
The two teams will face each other in the opener of City Series play but even more notable is the fact that the two teams will be the first City teams to play at the University of Akron's magnificent InfoCision Stadium.
``The kids are excited and I am, too,'' said Johnson, whose team is 2-2, with wins against Coventry and Cuyahoga Falls. ``They are ready to get in there and play.''
The Vikings are led by wide receiver and cornerback Rayshawn Stephenson and quarterback and linebacker Ken Johnson.

People have died from tobacco-related diseases since the opening of the first FCTC working group on 28 October 1999.
Shadow Reporting: Monitoring FCTC implementation
- Details
- February 22, 2012
Once countries become parties to the WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), it's crucial that they are monitored to ensure that they actually implement and enforce the treaty.
Through its shadow reporting programme, FCA acts like a 'watch dog', to do just this.
Our Tobacco Watch report complements the official reporting to the FCTC Secretariat by looking beyond legislation to enforcement and compliance, and by independently verifying the accuracy of information submitted by governments.
We do this with the assistance of our member organisations. FCA members gather data in their countries to verify legislation and FCTC enforcement and compliance. They use this data to produce national reports.

Do you ever have that gut-wrenching feeling where you feel like something bad is going to happen or something bad has happened? I've had these feelings before, and later on, something bad would happen that confirmed my feelings.
I've been having it a lot lately. It's just a feeling that something bad is happening or bad happened. I can't quite put my finger on how to explain it, but it's just this weird feeling that something's not right. Sometimes, this feeling has passed with no evident explanation. I don't know if it's because I've been having too much time to think lately or what. But I just have this sense of dread that has been building up. :(

Always see the Good in the Bad
Yesterday Jennifer's dad and stepmom had their house reposessed by the State because they didn't pay their taxes or mortgage for i don't know how long. I feel a little bit bad, but he did bring it on himself by being irresponsible with money. (which is one of the reasons why Jennifer lives with her mom and stepdad)
Anyway, when I changed engines in my Mustang, I used his tree-mounted hoist to do the transplant and my 6 cyl has been sitting in his back yard for the past 6 months. We decided to borrow a friend's truck and do a quick 'grab and run' at 1am last night in the pouring rain only to find out that my 6cyl was 30 feet away from the hoist and out of range for the chain to pull. We couldn't budge it.
After scrounging up my old exhaust pipes, trans spacer plate, spare intake, and stuff for my 351 I noticed that he he had his 351W (that we've used for misc. parts) sitting 3 feet from the hoist. I called him and we traded on the spot, so Jen and I threw a tire in the bed and dropped it in.
After getting home, it wasn't easy sliding the engine+tire off the bed onto a huge pile of cardboard boxes we threw on the garage floor to soften the drop.
So . . . . . . . . . now her stepmom is locked up on Unfit Parenting charges, her stepsister is in a foster care home, and her dad is living down the street with grandpa. Like I said, I feel kinda bad that all of this happened in one day, but I wasn't about to let the State get ahold of MY property without some kind of compensation. All in all, I'm pretty happy. Now I have a spare block with internals, heads, and intake to tear down and build up over time. Anyone think I did something wrong here? Because I do feel about 2% guilty for trading engines even though I did have his approval.
They reposesed his house not his personal property. The engine was his personal property and his to do with as he pleases. Nothing wrong with what you did at all. Actually I would think the Bank/State would be glad to have one less piece of junk they'll have to pay to have carried off the property.
A midnight grab may not have been the best way to do it but you have it now so the deed is done.
Man Mooch, enjoy your victory
The fact that you did it at 1am makes it even better. Like Centerline said, maybe not the best way, but it sure makes it way more interesting and tastier doesnt it?
you're the man!
Take some extra time/do something nice with Jennifer. SHe's probably WAY in the dumps right now.
Good score ,though. You save the mortgage co. some cash. You could probably get your old motor too !

Initially, Tubelines - which is the preferred bidder for the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines - is raising £2bn in bank loans. Metronet - preferred bidder for the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines - is looking for £1.5bn from banks and the same from the bond market.
The financing mechanisms are complicated but debt repayment relies ultimately on the Government. As details begin to emerge, the consequences of Transport Secretary Stephen Byers's decision to put Railtrack into administration look increasingly painful.
Bond investors are fighting shy of any involvement in the Tube unless they are 'fairly treated' over Railtrack. Even if the Government caves in to their financial demands over the collapsed rail firm, financing for the Tube is almost certain to be more expensive than it would otherwise have been.
Metronet and Tubelines will be funded by the so-called Infrastructure Service Charge. This will come from Transport for London and will depend on the companies achieving certain performance targets. TfL is funded by the Government, which has also agreed to repay 95% of all senior bank and bond debt if the contract between London Underground and the infrastructure companies is terminated.
The Government backing should provide a fair degree of comfort for lenders but credit agencies, on whom many institutions rely for guidance, base their ratings on the likelihood of default, not repayment.
The rating for Metronet's £1.5bn bond issue will depend on such things as whether the infrastructure companies perform sufficiently well to receive the service charge they require and whether harmonious relations can be maintained with London Underground. The latter is quite a challenge and the rating is likely to be barely above what agencies call 'investment grade'. These sorts of credits typically have to pay about 3% more than gilts for long-term funding such as that required by the Tube.
Metronet hopes to pay less by enlisting specialist insurance companies who take on risk, for a fee, and in return enable bonds to be rated a top-notch AAA. Typically, borrowers pay these insurers about 0.5% and interest of about 1.5% more than gilts, instead of 3%.
It is widely expected that, even if the Government satisfies investors' demands on Railtrack, Metronet will have to pay a higher fee to its insurers and higher interest rates. 'Whatever happens, there will be a long-term impact on rail and tube projects,' said one institutional investor.

Questlove Still Makes DJ Gig Despite Car Accident
Questlove was involved in a minor car accident last night (Aug. 12) while on his way to DJ at the New York City hotspot Brooklyn Bowl. Quest wasn't doing the actual driving, but was caught off guard and found himself a little shook up when his driver ran into a cab causing what he says was 'a small pile up.'
The Roots drummer holds down a spot at Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday nights as a resident DJ, and despite the accident it didn't keep him from tending to his weekly duties. "Wow. Driver just crashed into a cab," he tweeted. "No one hurt. Lil shook up, but I'm coming @brooklynbowl. I'm comin…cabbie on 5th ave wanted to avoid traffic light photo flash, so he hit breaks this causing our pileup."
In other news, Questlove has teamed up with R&B sensation John Legend to release a new album 'Wake Up!' on Sept. 21. The project will include a collection of soulful 70's throwbacks they've recreated from artists such as Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers.

International intrigue with a local angle and author
Midnight in Moscow opens with a scene with immediate familiarity for local readers: a news story featuring a car set ablaze at a BWI parking lot. Then a young Russian American woman is found murdered along the C&O Canal. From there it's a short hop to Annapolis and the main character, Emily Cowan, a sassy sleuth of a certain age who globetrots from western Maryland to Germany, Russia and the Near East.
Like the story of Pi, this movie isn't about lines of dialog. It's about the journey.
Do you have faith? For some the question is easy; for others, an epic journey. One writer (Rafe Spall: Prometheus) is in search of true faith and a story to make him believe in God. His search leads him to Pi (Irrfan Khan: The Amazing Spiderman), a middle-aged man who shares a tale of survival and faith that rivals Job.
SeaKayaker discovers the Patuxent Water Trail
Autumn is forecast spectacular for the Thanksgiving weekend, opening one of the year's last doors to get out into Chesapeake Country. One way to accept the invitation is to follow the December issue of SeaKayaker onto the treasure in our own backyard, the Patuxent Water Trail.
A saintly man makes an uninteresting subject
In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis: Nine) had just been elected to his second term. He enjoyed a wide popularity in spite of the Civil War, which slaughtered American citizens and deeply divided the country.
Great songs, strong voices and spirited dancing
Oklahoma!, the Pulitzer Prize-winning first collaboration between Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II, is a rousing night of theater with spirited and memorable music. 2nd Star Productions has the vocal talent to do justice to this great musical.
Take inspiration from this beautifully photographed Virginia Shore dinner
The best appetizer is a good story. With that philosophy of life, I'm drooling over Bernard L. Herman's first-person story of his Chesapeake Thanksgiving feast in this month's Saveur.
A titled professor of American studies and folklore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Herman tells his story with the loving detail we tend to reserve for faraway times.
Nobody does it betterSkyfall
Fifty years after James Bond ordered his first vodka martini — shaken not stirred — he has become a cultural icon and a bit of a Cold War relic. Donning an impeccable tux, swilling a few drinks, driving too fast in an Aston Martin and having casual sex with every scantily clad woman who catches his eye makes Bond a bit of a dinosaur. The actors may have changed, but the smarmy swinging-sixties vibe has remained.
Pour Maryland wine at your Thanksgiving feast
The traditional American Thanksgiving menu reads like a compendium of a Maryland farmers' market: potatoes, corn, squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, apples and turkey. The high-bush cranberry also grows here, and if you want to make your own cranberry sauce, the sour little berries can likely be harvested right from a neighbor's ornamental garden.
You'll welcome the light after two dark hours
Nostalgic for mudslinging yet? If so, you must see Colonial Players' production of Sunlight, a thoughtful and well-acted tale of academic and family discord over post 9/11 foreign policy.

According to Cameron, true prosperity has very little to do with the amount of money you have in the bank, and everything to do with the ability to understand your own (and other's) true worth and value.

With "The Prosperous Heart" you will: learn which parts of your life are truly valuable; teach yourself practical daily tools and exercises for developing a satisfying and secure present and future; remove emotional issues that create anxiety about finances; learn why creativity is at the centre of all outward and inward success; and, break down the blocks you have to combining spiritual wholeness with financial success.In this wise book, she gives readers the courage and permission to live their lives as they create their art: with purpose, freedom and inspiration.
Julia Cameron has been an active artist for more than thirty years. She is the author of more than thirty books, both fiction and non-fiction, including bestselling works on the creative process: The Artist's Way, Walking in This World and Finding Water. Also a novelist, playwright, songwriter and poet, she has multiple credits in theatre, film and television.

For close to five years, Ryan Sherman has been selling real estate in Lodi, his hometown. In such a relatively short time, Sherman has gone from mere rookie to the Lodi Association of Realtor's president for 2009.
As Sherman prepares to take the reins of the presidency from outgoing president Linda Bush, some have told him they don't envy his position in the turbulent housing market. However, Sherman remains optimistic about the future of real estate in the Lodi area.

I honestly don't know what to say about this.
It's obvious from the second you see the DJ's gear that he's going to mime this one... but I defy anyone to watch the whole thing and not feel your jaw dropping further and further with just how cringeworthy it is.
Why on earth did this duet agree to do this? There are no wires coming from the DJ gear! She's miming vocals that plainly couldn't be sung by any natural voice, with no microphone in sight!
But for me? The best bit is looking at the crowd, vacant faced, glued to their chairs, clapping along like some studio manager instructed them to before the filming.
I've got to be honest though - I also feel some kind of weird admiration for that DJ for actually being physically able to stand there and do that for the full length of the song. I couldn't do it.
We know people mime sometimes, for all kinds of reasons, but DJs, please don't insult the intelligence of anyone who cares enough by not even plugging your gear in. That goes for you singers, too - at least have a microphone somewhere nearby...
Epic DJ fail or an acceptable compromise by the act to get its song on TV? Let us know your thoughts in the comments...

Please bare in mind these are very quick, as im just trying to get basic outlines of the body and not in depth in anatomy. And please ignore the faces! Anyone know how to do this while keeping with the lines at 8 heads high?

its possible.. here is the only pic i have with the wide mouth bass look
Just to let all of you who want to paint it or have just painted the upper and lower grill and trim, I had both grills and trim painted and clear coated and now it looks like complete crap. There's paint chips all over the trim and the mesh (upper and lower). I would highly recommend not painting any of it. Hope this result helps anyone.
Powdercoating is the way to go. I had mine done a couple years ago and they still look fantastic.
Powdercoating on metal, Plasti-dip on plastic...
I took the bumper off for this, otherwise I knew I would be breaking a bunch of clips. The bumper is really easy to remove and then its really easy to get the grills off.
go to the plasti dip thread. That will help you
i would just take the bumper off , i have had my bumper on and off at least half a dozen times in the last few months, only takes me about 10 min tops now.
its only 2 bolts on each side, a crap load of platic pins. gl
a trim tool is your friend for this task

Prescription for Healthy Partnerships
CBI Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries
Prescription for Healthy Partnerships
CBI is proud to present 23 suppliers from Colombia, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia and South Africa at MEDICA 2011, the world's largest medical trade fair. MEDICA 2011 will take place from 16 - 19 November at Messe Düsseldorf.
Globalisation. Growth. New Products. These are the three cornerstones for success in the competitive European medical device industry. CBI will present 23 suppliers from developing countries during MEDICA 2011 who can help European manufacturers strengthen their performance in all three areas. All of the suppliers are actively seeking long-term European partnerships.
Four of the companies are based in Colombia, a market that has seen massive growth. Not only is Colombia, itself, an attractive candidate for globalisation and development, but it provides an excellent port of entry to other South American countries. On the other side of the globe, seven Egyptian companies offer their own cost-efficient products in a country geographically close to the EU for fast transport options.
Many of the companies are ISO-certified and/or focused on green or lean manufacturing standards. All provide innovative products. For example, one manufactures high-quality condoms made from resin that can be used by both men and women who have latex allergies. Other companies provide disposables and clothing; hospital room equipment; analysers for haematology, electrolytes and a range of uses; magnetic imaging equipment; and a variety of other dental, orthodontic and medical supplies.
CBI's experienced sector experts have already audited these companies. Each company has invested heavily in the preparation necessary for successful partnerships in Europe. They have completed a rigorous training programme to meet European market standards. CBI considers them to be reliable, consistent partners who provide outstanding levels of quality. All 23 companies will continue to be monitored as they explore new markets.
You can meet these companies at the four CBI Pavilions during MEDICA 2011 in Düsseldorf: Hall 3, Stand H91 (devices and apparatus); Hall 17, Stand D82 (laboratory equipment); and Hall 6, Stands A54 and B57 (other products).
What is CBI?
The CBI (Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries) contributes to sustainable economic development in developing countries through the expansion of exports from these countries. The CBI is THE expert in export development and export promotion from developing countries. For more information please visit our website www.cbi.eu.

Although some dairies have their own unique methods of milk production, most dairies in the United States follow the eight-step process seen below. Those eight steps are (in order): 1. Rearing, 2. harvesting, 3. storing, 4. transportation, 5. lab testing, 6. processing, 7. packaging, and 8. selling.
Step 1 - Rearing
Holstein cows grazing, 2007; Dairy cows at the feeding trough, 2007
Source: Texas Cooperative Extension, photo by Dr. Ellen Jordan
Dairy cows typically spend their days eating, sleeping, and ruminating or chewing their cud. Cows in some dairy farms wander around and eat fresh grass (i.e. grazing). In other farms, they are fed grain, hay, or silage (conserved forage) and remain all day in close quarters known as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), some of which house thousands of animals.
Many large dairy farms utilize growth hormones and antibiotics during the rearing process to artificially increase a cow's milk production and to decrease the spread of infectious diseases among their cows.
Hand milking a cow, 2007
In the Past:
A cow is ready to be milked when her udder is full. The farmer has some flexibility when making a schedule of cow milking times. Usually, cows are milked in the early morning and again in the late afternoon. It is possible to milk a cow by hand. However, milking a whole herd of cows twice a day in this manner would take a great deal of time and energy. Before the invention of milking machines, people milked their dairy cows by hand by squeezing gently on the cow's teats using the thumb and forefinger. Some people continue to milk a little by hand today.
Machine milking a cow, 2007
Cows are normally milked at least twice a day. Milking time takes about five minutes per cow depending on the type of machine and the amount of milk the cow is producing. Most dairies have enough machines to milk more than 20 cows at one time. Milking machines mimic the action of a young calf by creating a pulsating vacuum around the teat, which causes the milk to be released from the udder.

Involves pushing the raw milk through an atomizer to form tiny particles so that the fat is dispersed evenly throughout the milk, stopping the fat from floating to the top of the container.
Involves spinning milk through a centrifuge to separate the cream from the milk. After separation, the cream and remaining milk are remixed to provide the desired fat content for the different types of milk being produced.
For "whole milk," the cream is reintroduced until the fat content reaches 3.25%. For "low fat milk," the fat content is 1%. For "skim milk" (sometimes called nonfat milk) the fat content is .05%.
Machine for filtering and further processing, 2007
Machine filling and packaging milk, 2007
Now the milk is ready to be packaged for delivery to the stores. The milk travels through pipes to the automatic packaging machines that fills and seals the milk into paper cartons or plastic jugs. As the containers move through the assembly line, a date is printed on each of them to show how long the milk will stay fresh.

After packaging, the milk is finally ready for the customers, and it is stored in a big, refrigerated room until it is delivered to stores to be sold.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz University [2]has been rated as the top university in the Gulf, according to the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings for 2012.
The Jeddah institution was ranked 49th overall in Asia. The university, which was founded in 1967 and is home to around 42,000 students, specializes in scientific undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
The Times Higher Education Rankings is the world's largest academic reputation survey, with 2012's study featuring nearly 17,000 institutes.
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals [3]came in 62nd in Asia, followed by King Saud University [4]at 77th and the United Arab Emirates University in Al-Ain at 86th.
"It is an exciting time for higher education in Saudi Arabia and this prestigious list shows that the country's institutions are firmly established among the best in the Asian continent and are very close to the highest world standards," said Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education Rankings.
He added that "the signs are encouraging: investment in higher education in the region and the political drive to ensure that the country is at the forefront of new knowledge are promising signs."
He added, however, that the UAE had much work to do "if it is to reach not just regional standards, but global ones too."
Turkey dominated the higher places when it came to the broader region, with the Middle East Technical University [5]in Ankara hitting top spot with a rank of 22nd in Asia. Bilkent University [6] and Koc University [7] were 28th and 31st, respectively.
"Turkey is firmly established as a research powerhouse in the Middle East and the Asia rankings show its strong position across the continent as a whole," Baty said.
"According to our rankings data partner Thomson Reuters, Turkey produces about half of all researches in the Middle Eastern region, with particular strengths in medicine," he added.
Iran's Sharif University of Technology [8] was 42nd, while Tehran University of Medical Sciences [9] was 62nd. In 87th place was American University of Beirut i [10]n Lebanon.
The report analyzed 50 million citations, while taking into account factors including the number of Ph.Ds awarded, staff-to-student ratios, scholarly papers and research income.
On a global basis, the index rated the world's top university as the California Institute of Technology, followed by Oxford University, Stanford University and Harvard University.

text: I'm going to change the fluid and filter on my '97 dodge ram in a few days. I am looking at filters and Autozone has an "A-Z" brand filter that is 5.49 with gaskets. Oreilly has Wix brand for 7.49 and Pioneer brand for 7.99. I think A-Z filters are generic and I don't want to put a low quality filter in a sensitive dodge/chrysler transmission. I know Wix is a good brand but what about pioneer? Maybe I'll just get one from dodge, mopar.

- Clings to surface for efficient cleaning and better results
- Easy to apply
- Proudly made in the USA
Like most Dr. Beasley's products, the Matte Wheel Cleanser was designed with a car's needs in mind. Wheels are often the dirtiest part of a vehicle's appearance and can be the toughest to clean. Fortunately, with this great cleanser featuring gel-based formula that clings to the wheel's surface, the cleaning process is as easy as ABC. Moreover, this added formulation extends the amount of time that the cleaner is on the wheel, allowing more cleaning action to take place with the chemical still there.
Other products tend to run off and spill out onto the driveway, but Matte Wheel Cleanser's formula allows it to hold to the surface for spotless results every time. Because Dr. Beasley's top priority is proper car care, the Matte Wheel Cleanser utilizes a significantly more pH balanced formula than its competitors. That means that with the same amount of cleaning power as the "other guys," this product is causing less harm to your wheels and is more conscious to delicate finishes. In addition, the product is readily biodegradable and a smart choice in prolonging the life of your car's wheels.
While offering premium quality detailing goods on the market, Dr. Beasley's is also constantly striving to educate the car care world with decades of expertise, engagement, and experience. There is no other detail product manufacturer that has more relevant experience than Dr. Beasley's does. The primary goal of the company is to provide their numerous clients with highly reliable handcrafted car care products that will make their vehicle feeling and looking like the day it was bought. Bright luster of body parts, fresh air inside the cabin, clean and polished to a mirror-like shine surfaces are the personal assistants of the doctor with a melodious name – Dr. Beasley's.

"I have completely and 100 percent spread my wings."
Jessica Middendorf thought she wanted to be a teacher when came to St. Ambrose. The SAU Teacher Education program, however, doesn't settle for just thinking.
Jessica found herself observing in a classroom only months into her initial year of college and the experience only made her eager for more.
"What I really liked was, during my freshmen year, second semester, they put me into a classroom right away," she says. "I had to do 70 hours, which I think is extremely important because then you have a chance to figure out if you want to teach or not."
Jessica no longer thinks she wants to teach. She knows.
"I have had three other observations," she says, "and I love it because every time I go into another classroom, it makes that much more excited about being a teacher."
I have completely and 100 percent spread my wings. I would have never imagined going from my freshmen year, when I was going home every single weekend because I got so homesick, to my junior year, where I maybe went home twice a semester. I have moved past being so dependent on my home. This feels like my home now.
All of the classes that I've had with Dr. Dean Marple. He makes me think outside the box. He makes me think like a teacher. He doesn't just tell me things; he makes me figure things out on my own. I feel like he has prepared me to become a teacher.
That it's not all about the partying. I feel that you can have just as wonderful experience without the partying. There's so many more things out there. It's a lot harder because you don't have your parents telling to get up and go to school. You don't have your parents telling you do your homework. You have to do it on your own. You have to make the decision to get up and go to class. It's stressful, but also rewarding and fun.

Canadian Oil Sands board to reject Suncor bid on Monday -source
TORONTO Oct 16 (Reuters) - Canadian Oil Sands Ltd's board has evaluated the hostile takeover bid from rival Suncor Energy and is poised to reject the offer as too low on Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Earlier this month, Suncor offered to buy Canadian Oil Sands for $4.3 billion. Canadian Oil Sands owns a large stake in Canada's largest synthetic crude project, Syncrude, in northern Alberta. (Reporting by John Tilak; Editing by David Gregorio)

Dear Guardian of the Groove,
We've been busy here at 'OZ since last I wrote to you! Thanks to you and your fellow Guardians of the Groove, we completed another very successful Spring fund drive. Once again, you and your fellow listeners heeded the call and provided the resources the station needs to keep bringing you the music 24/7. For that we are ever so grateful!
Jazz Fest 2007 is now a fond memory. Another great Fest, and it was so nice to see all of our Brass Pass and Overpass members sipping iced coffee and savoring fresh fruit at the WWOZ Hospitality Tent. That is always a treat.
In the midst of it all, we managed to pull off a redesign of the WWOZ website to better serve you. The website is your gateway to everything 'OZ, and we're constantly working to make it the best experience possible. Be on the lookout soon for the online Swamp Shop filled with cool 'OZ merchandise for sale. When it's up and running, you'll be the first to know!
Sit back and enjoy this issue of The 'OZone, complete with our new 'OZone masthead. Thanks for staying in touch!
Sousaphonically yours,
David Freedman
General Manager
Father, Son and Students Honor the Memory of Alvin Batiste
by Jason Song
"Mr. Bat was a model musician. Every day we'd see him before class, always shedding, always practicing. He embodied the spirit of the ideal musician because even at the age he was, he was always trying to get better. You better yourself as a musician, at least I could see through him, you can better yourself as a person, because he was a wonderful person, and he expressed that through his music. His passing gave me a new spirit and made me wanna practice more and more. That was a gift from him, to have more willpower and to strive to be better."
So said Charles Burchell, Jr., son of WWOZ Show Host Charlie B and a former NOCCA student of Alvin Batiste, during Monday afternoon's "Jazz at the Market" program. Burchell and his fellow subgroup of NOCCANS (as Batiste would call them) named The Black Notes showed up on Charlie B's show to pay tribute to their teacher through performance of Batiste's compositions and through their own words about the legendary modern jazz educator and entertainer. Alvin Batiste died on Sunday, May 6th at the age of 74, just hours before he was to perform and be honored at Jazz Fest 2007.
"We wanted to do some kind of tribute since he had done so much for us," Burchell said over the phone Wednesday. "Playing at WWOZ was a great opportunity and an honor."
WWOZ.org Website Redesign
Why did we redesign the website? Over the last few years, the site has undergone a series of rapid changes. We wanted to put down a new foundation that can support new features and technologies. Help us plan the next steps for WWOZ.org by giving us your feedback.
After the flooding from Katrina, the website grew in many unexpected and positive ways. There are many new features that we want to incorporate into the website, but we needed a stronger platform before we could build these new features. The new look and the new organization of the site's content are the first steps towards building this stronger platform. We are in the process of making many changes to our backend system.
We plan to release new features and updates to the website 2-3 times a year. We will be launching a set of new features this summer including Community Forums (message boards), search, improved database searches of our playlists and music listings, community notebook calendar and others.
We want your feedback as we continue to improve all aspects of the website. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your feedback for improvements or new features. This is your website!
Save Net Radio!
Weeks ago in Washington D.C., the Copyright Royalty Board passed a rule which could silence all internet radio music. On May 15th, this rule went into effect and the music we all love and listen to on the internet could go away.

National Acts to Play Benefit for Sweet Home New Orleans and New Orleans Musicians
Sunday, May 27 concert featuring Indigo Girls, OK GO's Damian Kulash to follow tour of city's damage from Katrina.
New Orleans created American music. Now a group of musicians including the Indigo Girls, OK GO's Damian Kulash, My Morning Jacket's Jim James, and San Francisco singer Matt Nathanson playing along side some legendary New Orleans artists such as Al "Carnival Time" Johnson and Bonearama will help recreate the devastated city by playing a benefit concert to fund housing for the city's struggling musicians and artists.
It will be a loose and fun show with each artist performing a few songs with many of them sitting in on each other's songs. The full billing will be released closer to the concert, which will take place at Tipitina's Uptown on Sunday, May 27, 2007.

WWOZ Street Talk
WWOZ has long served as the voice of New Orleans' culture. In the months after hurricane Katrina hit, our listeners have rallied to support that voice, and we in turn have served as a source for information about the music community since the storm. We now expand that role with a new feature: Street Talk.
On the air and on the web, Street Talk addresses issues vital to rebuilding the culture of New Orleans. Hear voices from brass band players, city officials, gospel choir directors, bar owners and more. We address housing, jobs and schools through the lens of culture, and ask local political candidates about their specific plans for rebuilding.
Street Talk online includes interviews, commentary and more.

text: Updated from 1:50 p.m. EDTFinancial stocks bounced higher to recover from some of Friday's steep losses as the sector was lifted by positive analyst notes and Freedom Acquisition Holdings ( FRH), which leapt 7% to $11.18 after announcing a reverse $3.4 billion merger with Britain-based GLG Partners. Freedom agreed to pay $1 billion in cash and 230 million of its shares in order to form a publicly traded company called GLG, of which Freedom holders will own about a 28% stake (per Freedom's closing price Friday). Current GLG holders have also agreed to reinvest about half of their after-tax cash proceeds into GLG's funds on closing, which should occur early in the fourth quarter. New York-based Amtrust Financial ( AFSI) jumped 2.4% to $18.70 after the insurance broker agreed to buy a Florida-based workers' compensation insurer, Associated Industries Insurance, for $41.2 million. Meanwhile, Friedman Billings raised both Meadowbrook Insurance ( MIG) and First Community Bancorp ( FCBP) to outperform, boosting shares of each, by 5.9% and 1.4% respectively.

Road Department
Ronnie Goodman
Road Supervisor
Address: 501 Bacon Creek Rd
Elizabethtown, Ky
Phone: 270-737-6046
Kevin Thomas
Asst. Road Supervisor
Snow Information
The Hardin County Road Department is responsible for snow and ice control on county maintained roads. Hardin County currently has 889 roads equaling 589 miles of road to maintain. The Road Department has divided the county into five areas for snow removal. Within each area, there are priority roads, secondary roads that may be part of, or lead to, a subdivision, and subdivision roads. The priority roads for snow removal were developed by identifying a basic system of roads essential to the continuation of traffic movement.
Examples of priority roads maintained by the Hardin County Road Department are as follows:
Area 1: Upper Colesburg Road, Lower Colesburg Road, Wooldridge Ferry Road, Tunnel Hill Road, Bewley Hollow Road, Pear Orchard Road. For a complete list of priority roads in Area 1, click here.
Area 2: Springfield Road, Miller Road, Middle Creek Road, Locust Grove Road, Sportsman Lake Road. For a complete list of priority roads in Area 2, click here.
Area 3: Bacon Creek Road, Gaither Station Road, Star Mills-Eastview Road, Star Mills Road, E. White Mills-Glendale Road. For a complete list of priority roads in Area 3, click here.
Area 4: Constantine Road, Pierce Mills Road, Mount Olive Road, Horn Road, Yates Chapel Road, Meeting Creek Road. For a complete list of priority roads in Area 4, click here.
Area 5: Deckard School Road, Boone Road, Thomas Road, New Salem Church Road, Berrytown Road, Long Hollow Road. For a complete list of priority roads in Area 5, click here.
Once the priority roads have been cleared of snow, the Road Department will begin clearing the secondary roads. Examples of secondary roads are as follows:
Area 1: Master Lane, Quail Hollow Road, Happy Hollow Road, Sherwood Drive, Arbor Lane, Bates Road, Optimist Road
Area 2: Lincoln Drive, Fowler Lane, Valley Creek Lane, Larue Lane, Kings Way, Ford Road
Area 3: Partridge Way, Crump Lane, Monin Lane, Amish Road, Lambert Lane
Area 4: Goodman Lane, Vertrees Church Road, Tom Duvall Road, Cann School Lane, Drane Lane, Johnson Lane, Probus Lane
Area 5: Bratcher Lane, Pickerall Lane, Forrest Trace, Blackburn Road, Walnut Creek Lane, Beagle Club Lane
The State of Kentucky Department of Transportation covers all Interstates and state roads such as Highway 31W, Highway 84, Highway 86, Highway 62, Highway 313. The State of Kentucky Department of Transportation also covers roads such as 1357 (St. John Road) and 1600 (Rineyville Road).
Rock Salt is the most widely used de-icing agent in Hardin County because of its cost of effectiveness. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, salt can melt several inches of snow and prevent or reduce the bonding of compacted snow to the pavement surface.
Depending on the expected conditions, the Road Department will be proactive and apply salt brine to roads to try and keep ice and snow from bonding to the pavement. Brine can only be used when the roads are dry.
The objective of the Road Department is to provide winter roadway safety to the traveling public in the most reasonable, efficient and effective manner. Below are simple suggestions that you can do:
Limit travel during storms to trips that are necessary. Once roads have been plowed and salted, the potential for accidents is greatly reduced.
Park your vehicles in your driveways and off the road. If you must park on the street, try to park on one side of the street only. Parked cars hinder the speed and efficiency of snow removal operations. Vehicles may only be parked in authorized areas. Vehicles parked in unauthorized areas may be towed.
Snow plows are designed to remove snow from the roadway to the edge of the road. It is likely that the plow will leave behind a window of snow in front of your driveway. Residents are responsible for removing this snow.
The amount of snow, the type of snow and/or ice, and the duration of the storm affect the time it takes to complete work on each priority road. Therefore, a specific completion time cannot be given.

Besides snow and ice removal, the Road Department is also responsible for:
Mowing: A mowing crew consists of teams of tractors who work in different areas of the county mowing the right-of-ways. The mowing crew also has a boom mower that will be maintaining grass, trees, or other obstacles around any bridges and guardrails.
Trimming Tree: A tree trimming crew ensures low hanging limbs, or invalid trees do not block the right-of-ways. This crew will also prevent any future problems concerning the blocking of roadways if necessary.
Maintaining a Fleet of Ambulances, and other County Equipment: The maintenance shop services the ambulances, as well as other county department vehicles. The mechanics work two shifts in order to ensure maintenance needs are met.
Repairing and installing road signs: A sign repair crew repairs or replaces signs as needed to ensure safe travel by the residents of the county is achievable. The sign crew is also required to maintain the visibility of each sign which may require tree or occasional brush trimming.
Paving Roads: The paving crew consists of a fleet of tandem dump trucks, oil truck, standard roller and paver. Whether the paving crew is paving or patching, the safety of motorists is recognized by the �Work Zone Area� signs.
County Recycling Program: The Road Department plays a key role in the recycling program by providing a driver to haul recycling trailers to their designated location. With help from the inmate work program the recyclable material is kept organized. The maintenance shop also keeps the trailers in good working order, making sure they are easily accessible.

Brick work
1 Attachment(s)
I have a couple of cracked bricks near the foundation at the corner of my house. (See pics). These aren't the best quality bricks, and I am thinking that perhaps the freezing temps, and the moisture caused these bricks to crack. There is not a stair-step pattern, so I am hoping it is not an issue with the foundation. Can I remove the cracked bricks and replace them without the corner of the house caving in???
Since we can only see two bricks it's hard to suggest the best way to do it.
And no the house will not fall down if it's only a few bricks.
A 4-1/2" right angle grinder with a diamond blade, a 3/8 masonery drill bit, a hammer drill, brick chisle and a 2" wide chisle will be needed to do it.
Thanks joecaption: I have all the tools except the grinder, the hammer drill, and the brick chisle... I suppose these can be rented?
Not sure if they can be rented, there not all that expencive to buy abd can be used on all sorts of other jobs. May want to check a Home Depot, they rent tools and also sell the Ryobi line of tools that would work fine for your job.
Since you do not have the tools at may be just as cheap to hire a mason to do the job. It would come out better any way if they did it in most cases.
You're probably right about hiring a mason to do the job! I have to go to Home Depot anyway, so I will check these items out. Thanks, lch
Cracked Brick
Joecaption you are right near me. I'm at James Store. Would the "3/8 drill bit be to remove the vertical mortar joint? Thanks.

Insights and Opinions: Lessons From Launching 3 Companies
For our Insights and Opinions section today, we are featuring a podcast from Andrew Warner founder of Mixergy, who runs a popular series of technology networking events in Los Angeles. Andrew has recently been interviewing interesting entrepreneurs and thought leaders, and recently interviewed Brian Johnson, the founder of eteamz, Zaadz, and Philospher's Notes.
I asked Brian Johnson to teach what he learned from launching 3 startups because he has both the experience of an entrepreneur and the introspection of a philosopher.
1. Don't start with your masterpiece
When he launched eteamz, Brian's vision was for a comprehensive site that organized youth sports. But it turns out that parents who used the site only wanted basic features, like the ability to see a picture of their kids sliding into third base. Brian suggests taking Guy Kawasaki's advice. When you launch, "don't worry. Be crappy." After your launch, you can improve the business by listening to your customers.
See Andrew's video and hear his podcast on our Insights and Opinions section.

Motorists caught on CCTV parking illegally in Rushmoor have paid almost £260,000 in fines to the council in little more than a year.
Rushmoor Borough Council approved the use of more than 20 CCTV cameras to assist with parking enforcement in 2011 and, after the cameras were approved by the Department for Transport, they were employed to catch those spotted parking in restricted areas.
A report by campaign group Big Brother Watch shows that this resulted in £259,549.35 being generated between then and last March.
The group, which argues against policies that threaten privacy and civil liberties, claims the practice is unnecessary and wrong, but the council has claimed the CCTV was only brought in following public 'frustration' over inconsiderate parking by some motorists.
Nick de Bois MP, who wrote the report's foreword, said: "I welcome this research by Big Brother Watch, which highlights that many hard-pressed drivers are unfairly being hit with arbitrary fines.
"CCTV should only ever be used in exceptional circumstances, and therefore I agree with the Government that local authority use of CCTV for parking enforcement should be banned.
"Councils should start looking at where they waste money rather than milking easy targets like drivers."
Parking fines data for last year obtained by the News & Mail showed that the camera in Cross Street, Aldershot, which lies between Victoria Road and Union Street, is the most lucrative, with just over 1,000 fixed penalty notices issued there using CCTV.
More than 14,000 tickets were issued in Rushmoor last year, 22% of which were based on CCTV footage.
Of the 431 local authorities that responded to Big Brother Watch's request, Rushmoor was among 70 to have used CCTV to capture traffic offences.
The group also criticised the use of CCTV cars by 58 councils. Rushmoor approved the use of these in areas around schools last November following complaints by parents, residents and the police.
Peter Amies, Rushmoor's head of community, said that, legally, money generated from CCTV-issued parking fines in the borough belonged to Hampshire County Council, but was allowed to be kept by Rushmoor only to cover costs such as civil enforcement officers and ticket machines.
A surplus may be made for the first time this year, and this will be reinvested into highways infrastructure.
Mr Amies said the decision to use CCTV was made after 'great pressure' from taxi and bus drivers and disabled people who were frustrated at motorists illegally parking in restricted areas and fleeing before a fine could be issued.
He said: "We do use a number of fixed cameras in our town centres to address safety issues and to deter drivers from parking in restricted areas, which can cause congestion and hold ups for other road users.
"We particularly monitor certain junctions, bus stops, disabled bays and taxi ranks. The cameras help us to take action against drivers who knowingly abuse restrictions and who remain close to their vehicle so they can drive away if approached by a civil enforcement officer."
