Nitro-Time controlled-release capsules
Generic Name: nitroglycerin (NYE-troe-GLIS-er-in)
Brand Name: Nitro-Time
Nitro-Time controlled-release capsules are used for:
Preventing chronic chest pain caused by heart disease. It also may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Nitro-Time controlled-release capsules are a nitrate. It works by relaxing (widening) blood vessels. Chest pain occurs when the heart needs more oxygen than it can get. Relaxing blood vessels allows blood to flow more easily. This reduces the heart's workload and the amount of oxygen needed by the heart.

- you are allergic to any ingredient in Nitro-Time controlled-release capsules
- you have increased pressure in or severe injury to the head

Actually, I don't know if that's a good price anyway since I saw one on ebay for a bit cheaper. Don't know if it would work in a car since it's designed for inside a restaurant where the lighting is generally pretty dim. I'm curious.

Randy that is fine, I will check this email later. I appreciate your help.
Just to clarify if you have the mode switch turned to the defrost mode the AC light will light and stay on. You cannot turn this switch off when the mode lever is in the defrost mode. Make sure the mode is on vent or feet then see if the light on the AC switch turns on and off normally. I have done multiple searches for air-conditioning or heater problems with the control panel and have found none. I want to make sure that you are aware that the AC switch will not turn off if the defrost or is that defrost mode.
It is unlikely a fuse or power input if even one of the buttons are working the power supply is normal. You are probably looking at the control panel to be replaced. If you want to post the VIN I can run any inquiry on the panel to see if there are any issues with it. I checked all known service bulletins and have found no particular issues so far. I have never had to replace one either. This is not a common problem. Let me know how you would like to proceed.
I cannot get to my vehicle until later today, therefore, I don't have the VIN #. I will have to take it in. Thanks!
If you can get then let me know. There is a website I can direct you to where you can save some money on the factory part is it works out that the control unit is defective.

Man 'kicked attack victim in the head'
A student has told the trial of two footballers that she was 'sickened' by the sight of a man being kicked in the head during a city centre attack.
Amelia Williams told Hull Crown Court that she had been walking through Leeds with her boyfriend when she witnessed a man being set upon by a group of up to five men.
"It was a very hard kick, a swinging kick - horrible. And I had to turn away, I was sickened."
Leeds footballers Jonathan Woodgate and Lee Bowyer are alleged to have taken part in the attack on 21-year-old student Sarfraz Najeib in Mill Hill, Leeds, following a confrontation outside a nightclub on 12 January last year.
England defender Mr Woodgate, 21, from Middlesbrough, Under-21 international Mr Bowyer, 24, from Leeds and co-accused Paul Clifford and Neale Caveney, both 22, and from Middlesbrough, deny causing Mr Najeib grievous bodily harm with intent.
They also deny affray.
Miss Williams said she and her boyfriend saw one of the attackers pick the man on the floor up by his chest and hit him before the group ran off.
Victim 'unconscious'
The victim appeared to be unconscious, she said.
One of them - the same man she had seen kicking the victim in the head - barged between them, winding her, she said.
Another man, whom she had later identified as Mr Woodgate, stopped, fell over and helped her to her feet.
"He picked me up by the shoulder and said `Are you all right love?'," said Miss Williams.
"He ran off down the street after the other men."
She said she was left feeling a little angry "and still frightened by what I had seen".
Miss Williams said that she had identified Woodgate in video footage but had not picked out Mr Bowyer.
She had also attended two conventional ID parades attended by Clifford and Caveney and had failed to identify them.
The case continues.

Different vibes, Indian-style

DJ Richi Madan: championing sounds from the subcontinent.
Photo: John Woudstra
Bhangra and Bollywood are coming to a club near you, writes Craig Scutt.
Back in the early '90s at one of Monash University's Indian club functions, Richi Madan noticed something strange. The only music being played was modern r'n'b. "When I asked the DJ to bung on an Indian track, I just got these weird looks," he recalls. "It seemed that Indians brought up over here thought they were black rather than brown, as it were."
With the launch of two club events at city nightclub Inflation dedicated to Indian music, DJ Richi is about to stamp brown style on Melbourne's music map. Bhangra Vibes, dedicated to the UK bhangra scene, will kick off on the last Friday of every month, and Club Bollywood, showcasing tunes from Bollywood musicals, will be held the second Friday of every month.
Madan became involved in the bhangra scene in England, where he grew up, before moving here in 1987. What started as curiosity evolved into an obsession as he went back every year, supposedly to spend the school holidays with his sister, but really he was out clubbing. "I was talking to my daughter on the phone," says Madan's mother, Nardeep, "saying how great it was that Richi loved spending so much time with her. 'Is that what he tells you?' she said. 'He's having you on, I never see him.' "
"Maybe it's because there's more tension over there, but people tend to acknowledge their roots a lot more," Madan says. "The great thing about music is that it has the power to cut across boundaries of colour, race and language. You just feel the rhythm."
Originally, "bhangra" referred to a harvest dance performed in the state of Punjab. For centuries, villagers would gather to dance to the beat of the dhol drum. "It's so catchy, it's impossible to stand still to the beat," he says.
After Indians migrated to England in the '50s and '60s, they began fusing the beat of the drum with Western styles of music such as reggae, then, eventually, hip-hop and techno.
Having grown accustomed to all the hip bhangra nights in England, Madan was frustrated there was nothing like it in Australia.
"I find it intriguing the way bhangra and Bollywood have gone mainstream," he says. Panjabi MC raised the profile of bhangra music with his hit Mundian To Bach Ke (Beware of the Boys), while films such as Monsoon Wedding and Bride and Prejudice did the same for Bollywood tunes.
Last year he jettisoned a lucrative career with IBM to follow the beat of the dhol and provide the answer. "My parents went into shock at first, but they've been really supportive, and that means a lot to me," he says.
With a CD in development, plans underway for a UK tour, a move into event management, and the two club nights, he barely has time to appreciate how quickly things are taking off.
He recently started a production company, Rhythm and Spice. The name alludes to ethnicity, but it could just as easily be a reference to Nandos, or anything Indian. "That's the thing," he says. "I want it to be about the quality of the music rather than where it comes from."

Regional Reviews: Chicago
Shout! The Mod Musical
Also see John's review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Shout! is far more concerned with having fun with the songs than it is with social history. And fun they are, including a top-shelf selection of tunes made popular by the likes of Dusty Springfield, Shirley Bassey, and Lulu. Especially well-represented are songs written by Tony Hatch for Petula Clark, which total a full nine of the show's musical numbers. Shout resembles nothing so much as an extended episode of the 1960's network TV variety shows "Shindig!" and "Hullabaloo," thanks to the go-go and frug dance steps created by director/choreographer Jay Falzone in front of David Gallo's delightful set of pastel-colored vinyl and the Carnaby Street-inspired costumes by Philip Heckman. It's all at pretty much the same energy level throughout, though, and wears a little thin even at 90 minutes without intermission.
The musical interpretations are mostly appropriate but sometime fail to deliver the nuances inherent in the songs as originally recorded. "Downtown" as sung by Ms. Clark began with a quiet section suggesting a loneliness the singer defies through the course of the song. "Don't Sleep in the Subway," a song about a couple's reconciliation after a fight, acknowledges some painful moments. These shadings are ignored here, and when one of the monologues ventures into some intense emotions near the end, the audience is unprepared for it. It wraps up nicely, though, with the five women appearing at later ages, reuniting to sing "Those Were the Days," the odd, but touching folky, polka-beated Top 40 hit of Mary Hopkins. The producers of this piece probably knew a good thing when they saw one, and I'm thinking of Menopause, the Musical, at whose demographic Shout! is clearly aimed.
Shout! showcases five terrific performers in Lauren Fijol, Megan Long, Danielle Plisz, Amy Steele and Maggie Portman. Ms. Plisz is the most convincingly British in her portrayal of a sexually liberal East-ender. Maggie Portman, who's been impressive in comic roles for Porchlight Chicago such as Squeaky Fromme in Assassins and Evelyn Nesbit in Ragtime, has a great vehicle in which to show her comic and vocal skills. Playing an American stalker of Paul McCartney, she also has nice little comic touches as a James Bond girl in a parody of "Goldfinger," and a good bit where her character is stoned on marijuana. It's a fitting trip "downtown" for her Loop debut.
Shout! The Mod Musical will play the Drury Lane Theatre Water Tower Place through July 20, 2008. The performance schedule is Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m, 6 p.m., and 9 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 and 6 p.m. Tickets are available at all Broadway in Chicago box offices and through Ticketmaster.

Most of the talk about concussions and their long-last effects when it comes to football has been heard from the NFL and former players. But the issue is impacting college football as well.
The Arizona Republic reports that Arizona State quarterback Steven Threet decided to walk away from football after suffering four concussions in five years, including two this past fall. Threet says he had concussions on Oct. 23 at California and another Nov. 26 against UCLA that ended his junior year.
He told the paper on Wednesday he's still experiencing symptoms from the last concussion, including headaches and trouble sleeping. Threet also suffered concussions his senior year at Adrian (Mich.) High School and in 2008 while playing at Michigan.
Threet beat out Brock Osweiler and Samson Szakacsy in a tight battle for the starting job. As a junior, he threw for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns with 16 interceptions, and was sacked 23 times. Threet says he's on schedule to graduate in May.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/1/2014 (1275 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
First prose on Russian punks
With the 2014 Winter Olympics on the horizon and security concerns in Russia at an all-time high, Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot (Riverhead Books, $18) is a timely tome. Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen's book on the feminist punk band includes exclusive access to band members, three of whom were convicted of "criminal hooliganism" and sentenced to two years in prison following a February 2012 protest in Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. The openly gay Gessen, who has written extensively on LGBT rights in Russia and called Vladimir Putin a dictator in her 2012 bio The Man Without a Face, does well in documenting and contextualizing the band members' struggle in a country with a history of repressing dissenting voices.
How convenient
The Toronto stage hit Kim's Convenience is an entertainment triple threat. Not only is the Soulpepper Theatre Company production this week launching a cross-country tour in Ottawa before opening at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre March 13, but Ins Choi's comedy-drama is being developed into both a feature film and TV series. Since its modest beginning at the 2011 Toronto Fringe Festival, audiences have thronged to see how a fiery Korean-Canadian store owner deals with family conflict over questions of duty and self-determinism.
No story like home
Local filmmakers generally face two challenges for their work: scraping up budgets and finding an audience venue. MTS Stories From Home, a service of MTS TV, helps on both fronts: providing money for small documentaries and a broadcast berth on MTS TV, free for MTS subscribers. On Thursday, Jan. 23, Cinematheque presents three such docs: May We Grow, an affectionate ode to an endangered Wolseley elm; Cooking the Revolution, a portrait of storied folk fest fixture and gourmet cook Harry Paine; and Perogy, a doc devoted to that most fundamental Winnipeg foodstuff. Cinematheque promises this will be the first of four Stories From Home programs to screen annually. It starts at 7 p.m.
Hope you enjoy listening to Kacey Musgraves
The Texas country singer is up for four Grammys, including Best New Artist, when the hardware is handed out Sunday, Jan. 26, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Musgraves' appearance on the awards show will be a sign of things to come for her growing legion of fans here in Winnipeg. She will support her hit album, Same Trailer Different Park, when she opens for Lady Antebellum at the MTS Centre on March 5. And Musgraves will likely perform for a different fan base -- at the same venue -- only a few months later, opening for Katy Perry at the MTS Centre on Aug. 26.

You've no doubt heard that the Chinese word for "crisis" combines "danger" with "opportunity." Any number of business books and management seminars have enthusiastically seized on this idea as a way to package alleged insights on how to profit even when times are tough.
Last year, Victor Mair, a professor of Chinese language and literature at the University of Pennsylvania, sought to debunk this myth. He argues that while there is little debate regarding the "danger" part of the construction, the component often translated as "opportunity" more closely means "incipient moment" or "crucial point when something begins or changes." Therefore, he concludes, a crisis is no time to look for new opportunities, but rather a time to be wary and "above all to save one's skin and neck!"
But however flimsy and opportunistic the quality of their translations may be, the management gurus are on to something. The problem with a financial crisis is that there really is no incipient moment or crucial point. We are now in the second year of a recession, and while companies are more focused on simply surviving today than they have ever been, senior managers can't afford to think only about saving necks. Leaders must look over the foxhole and see if there is some higher ground to be taken.
Our cover package on "The Year Ahead" certainly doesn't downplay current dangers. Companies will face a difficult battle in simply holding their ground, let alone advancing. But in treasury operations, customer relationships, risk-management practices, and other areas there are opportunities to abandon poor practices and adopt new strategies that will pay off in the long run.
We even managed to unearth a not-insubstantial list of "bright spots," although it is true that every time senior writer Kate O'Sullivan reached a CFO and announced that she was writing a story about positive aspects of the current economy she got an identical response: laughter, followed by "It's going to be a very short article!" Actually, it runs five pages ("And Now for the Good News…") and offers a nice counterpoint to our quarterly Business Outlook Survey. That article does, unfortunately, make a very strong case for Professor Mair's definition of "crisis."

Northants needed only two deliveries on the final morning to complete a 182-run home victory over Derbyshire.
After Andy Gray took a single from the first ball, Damien Wright bowled Ian Hunter for a duck with the next.
It completed a remarkable turnaround for the home side, who were bowled out for 140 in their first innings and conceded a lead of 79.
Martin Love hit 177 to set the visitors 388 and spinner Jason Brown took 5-61 as Derbyshire remained without a win.
Coach Mike Hendrick blamed a poor bowling effort in Northamptonshire's second innings for their latest defeat.
"From the beginning of the season we've struggled to put scores together in the first innings, but have in the second.
"So to have a lead after the first innings in this match was very important to us, but we couldn't capitalise on it," he said.
"We've had a discussion about what we should be doing and hopefully we'll be able to put that into practice for the rest of the season.
"We seem to do well when our backs are against the wall but we need to reproduce that to dictate the game. Until we do that we're always going to make life difficult for ourselves."

December 23, 2013
The sixth most popular Successful Dealer article of 2013 comes to us from the courtroom.
In April, Navistar's former Chief Executive Dan Ustian and the company's then-chief financial officer, Andrew Cederoth, were named in a class action lawsuit against the company according to a filing with United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
RELATED: No. 7 of Top 10 of 2013: Kozek leaves Paccar for Navistar
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Construction Workers Pension Trust Fund Lake – County and Vicinity and "others similar situated" who bought company shares between Nov. 3, 2010 and Aug. 1, 2012. The suit claims the pension's trust fund purchased 6,709 shares of Navistar stock for a total of roughly $246,000 and sold them for about $165,000 as stock prices tumbled following Navistar abandoning plans to produce a big bore EGR engine.
RELATED: No. 5 of Top 10 of 2013: Heavy-duty goes electric
The complaints allege the defendants made numerous misrepresentations, including that (1) Navistar's attempted methods to achieve compliance with EPA guidelines in truck manufacturing had failed and Navistar would be forced to revise its plan to meet guidelines, incurring enormous costs to the company; (2) Navistar did not have engines ready to meet the 2010 EPA standards; and (3) Navistar's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contained incomplete and misleading disclosures, including statements about the costs of recalls and details of various debts.
Cederoth stepped down from his post in June.

This spring, we are proud to announce that our teas have been certified gluten-free by the Gluten Intolerance Group. Our customers that may have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity can also be assured that our packaging materials do not contain gluten. In addition, our certified organic tea packing facility in Seattle does not process anything with gluten, so there is no risk of cross-contamination.
You may be wondering, "Why do I need to worry about gluten in tea?" While Camellia sinensis, the plant from which tea comes, does not contain any gluten on own its own, gluten is sometimes introduced to tea products by manufacturers as an additive. For example, flavors made with grains containing gluten can be added. (Our flavors do not contain gluten.) Also, sometimes barley malt is used as a sweetener and roasted barley itself can be made into tea. (We do not use barley in any of our teas.) And finally, some tea companies may use gluten-containing glue to close their tea bags. (Our tea bags are sewn shut, so this is not an issue.)
For these reasons and the many phone calls and emails we've received from concerned customers, we are pleased that we can offer the added confidence of third party verification that our teas are gluten free. To learn more about our certifier, the Gluten Intolerance Group, visit gluten.net.

Cox reportedly eyes Time Warner Cable
Cox Communications, the third- largest U.S. cable-television provider, is considering a bid for Time Warner Cable, joining a growing field of prospective bidders, a person with knowledge of the deliberations said.
Discussions on a deal, which could take the form of a merger or outright acquisition, are in the early stages, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
Todd Smith, a spokesman for Atlanta-based Cox, declined to comment, as did Bobby Amirshahi, a spokesman for Time Warner Cable in New York.
Time Warner Cable, the second-largest U.S. cable company, has emerged as a takeover target for an industry increasingly keen on consolidation. Charter Communications Inc., backed by billionaire John Malone, is in talks with bankers about raising funds for a bid, people familiar with the matter have said. Comcast Corp., the industry leader, also has contemplated a Time Warner Cable deal, either alone or with Charter's help, according to people with knowledge of that company.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal said Wednesday that Charter is seeking to arrange $25 billion in debt financing to be able to make a cash-and-stock offer that would include about $90 a share in cash. Takeover speculation has fueled a 41 percent gain in Time Warner Cable shares this year. The stock was little changed at $136.80 at the close in New York.


text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Treatment for thalassemia depends on which type you have and how severe it is. Treatments for mild thalassemiaSigns and symptoms are usually mild with thalassemia minor and little, if any, treatment is needed. Occasionally, you may need a blood transfusion, particularly after surgery, after having a baby or to help manage thalassemia complications. People with severe beta-thalassemia will need blood transfusions. And because this treatment can cause iron overload, they will also need treatment to remove excess iron. An oral medication called deferasirox (Exjade, Jadenu) can help remove the excess iron. Treatments for moderate to severe thalassemiaTreatments for moderate to severe thalassemia may include: Frequent blood transfusions. More-severe forms of thalassemia often require frequent blood transfusions, possibly every few weeks. Over time, blood transfusions cause a buildup of iron in your blood, which can damage your heart, liver and other organs. To help your body get rid of the extra iron, you may need to take medications that rid your body of extra iron. Stem cell transplant. Also called a bone marrow transplant, a stem cell transplant may be an option in select cases, including children born with severe thalassemia. It can eliminate the need for lifelong blood transfusions and drugs to control iron overload. During this procedure, you receive infusions of stem cells from a compatible donor, usually a sibling.

Landmark Ligonier hospital building transformed into inn, cafe
Thistledown at Seger House, which serves as both an inn and cafe, has officially opened at 221 W. Main St. in Ligonier, answering community curiosity regarding the renovations taking place at what was once the landmark McGinnis hospital building.
Both the inn, which is fully booked for Fort Ligonier Days, and the cafe have been well received.
"The response so far has been excellent," said owner Michelle Gardner, who also owns the Bo-Peep Fine Yarns shop. "It was exactly as we'd hoped."
Gardner and husband, Adam, who reside in Ligonier with their children, kept an eye on the property when it went on the market.
"I was looking for a new retail space for Bo-Peep," Gardner said. "We loved the building."
The couple got to work with immediate renovations last February after reaching a conclusion on what they ought to do with the building.
"We didn't want to chop it into retail spaces; we didn't want to be landlords," Gardner explained. "The house really kind of dictated what it should be and an inn seemed like the best idea."
The ambiance of both the inn and cafe is one of relaxed coziness; fireplaces adorn three of the rooms and warm colors permeate the decor. The inn offers eight rooms each with a private bath. The Gardners worked to recreate the feel of the original turn-of-the-century mansion in order to achieve that at-home atmosphere.
"It's not just a place to stay, it is an experience," said Gardner. Gardner said the woodwork is original as are the stained glass windows in the common area. She said the rooms have an updated, yet classic look.
"It turned out exactly the way as we had hoped," said Gardner. "It has that old feel but its an updated old feeling. It has a preppy yet vintage look."
Once renovations to the inn got underway, Gardner began the search for the perfect person to take the managerial helm at the Thistledown Cafe. She found that match in Suzanne Stillwell.
"She's wonderful," Gardner said.
Stillwell, who jokingly describes herself as a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none," has more than 20 years of managerial experience, getting her start as a kitchen manager in a nursing home. She and her husband moved to Ligonier about 10 years ago to raise their children in a more peaceful environment.
"I always wanted to live in Ligonier," Stillwell explained. "We honeymooned here."
Her vision for the cafe was to create a homey environment and offer the community different dining options.
"We want to have healthier choices and a revolving menu," she explained.
"We pride ourselves in surrounding ourselves with people who enjoy it," Gardner said.
The cafe, which uses all locally sourced products from venues such as Town's Edge Farm, Rosary Acres and Monroe Coffee that is roasted in Latrobe, offers freshly made breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, soup, and homemade pastries. Each day, the kitchen staff of four gets an early start baking all of the pastry products, which include pies, Italian cookies, donuts, scones and various other items. Some of the signature hot-sellers include avocado egg salad, Paninis and refreshing fruit and herb-flavored water priced at a dollar a glass.
"We're always trying something new," Stillwell said. "If you are curious about what is on the menu that day, stop in and have a look."
Though Stillwell says the menu is fairly basic at this point, she promises that it will continue to grow into a fuller array.
"Our winter menu is going to be full of home-style comfort foods," she said.
She also remains intent on creating more options for gluten-free and vegetarian patrons. She recalls a customer she once had who was vegetarian.
"I would watch her sit with her friends and hardly eat anything because she didn't have many options. I wanted to change that."
Both staff and customers seem more than satisfied. First time visitors Marge Murphy of Fairfield Township and her friend, Shirley McChesney of Ligonier, enjoyed a leisurely lunch on the cafe's outdoor patio.
"We were very pleased," Murphy said. "A good first-time experience. I would not hesitate to come back; even the water was very good."
Cafe employee Janine Hall has no complaints, either.
"We love working for Michelle and Suzanne, we love working with each other. It's a great environment; they encourage us and appreciate what we do."
Victor Beghini of Ligonier also enjoyed his time at Thistledown.
"It's a good as place for lunch as any," he said. "The ambiance is super; it's great to sit outside and watch the world go by."
Cafe hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, but with time will remain flexible.
For more information on the inn or the cafe, phone 724-238-4087.

I am in College Station, Texas. As the name implies, College Station is a university town – home to Texas A&M University, which is famous for its football team, its veterinary school and the George H.W. Bush library, in that order. It is a fabulously rich university. As the Dow continues to crash through the floor and gloom about the US economy becomes all pervasive, it's worth being reminded how much entrenched wealth there is in this country. The university provost told me that they currently have $800m worth of building-projects underway on campus. Those are the kind of numbers I associate with places like Abu Dhabi. Read more

Jun 6, 2012 - Larry Bauman, RivertonEditor:
Well, once again some members of the Riverton City Council showed lack of fiscal responsibility, recently approving a contract to construct a new DCI building utilizing a grant from the state aeronautics board.
Unfortunately, the grant covers only a part of the cost of the construction. The city is on the hook for $53,000, of which $30,000 has already been spent. And, of course, the city has to repay the grant (loan) in 20 years.
Never mind the winning, or should I say appointed, bid didn't meet stated specs. Never mind city staff will be used to construct the parking lot. Never mind the city does not have a long-term occupancy commitment from DCI. Never mind the city will have to maintain the building.
As you can figure out, this building will most likely not pay for itself. But it is good to know that the city has that extra money lying around for such projects. So much for repairing streets.
Thanks to Mayor Warpness for holding firm on not wanting to award the contract. Kudos to you, your honor, and the one member of Council who backed you.

Social Security and You: Impact of Social Security
Published 1:14 am, Friday, August 24, 2012
Business Channel
Today, about 159 million people work and pay Social Security taxes. More than 53 million people receive monthly Social Security benefits. In 2011 alone, those benefits came to more than $675 billion. One out of every six people receives a monthly Social Security benefit. That represents all ages, not just people who are retirement age. In the San Antonio area, that means about 250,000 receive Social Security benefits each month.
There is no denying the difference Social Security benefits make in local communities all across America. In neighborhoods around the nation, the benefits paid help more than just individual beneficiaries. These people spend their benefit payments at the local grocery store, department stores and small businesses. Both at the national and local level, Social Security makes a difference.
The average payment for a retired individual is $1,229 a month, which represents 40 percent of income for an average retired person. The monthly payment for a disabled person averages $1,111. For the widow or widower of a working family member and two children, the average payment is $2,543. These are real numbers that help many individuals make ends meet.
Here are more figures to show the impact of Social Security benefits. Social Security provides at least half the income for 66 percent of the beneficiaries older than 65. Women account for 56 percent of adult Social Security beneficiaries.
To learn more about the economic impact of Social Security, visit
Please note that in general, a person applying as a widow/widower cannot receive benefits if they remarry before the age of 60 (50 if disabled) unless the latter marriage ends, whether by death, divorce or annulment. However, remarriage after age 60 (50 if disabled) will not prevent payments on a former spouse's record.
For more information, call us at 800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778) 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit our website at

Scholarly Repositories
Scholarly repositories preserve and dissiminate scholarly research in many forms. By uploading papers to scholarly repositories, professors can immediately share them with colleagues and other interested parties around the world. Scholarly repositories are essential components of the so-called "green" open access model.
Scholarly repositories generally come in two forms: institutional repositories, which host scholarly materials produced by the faculty, students, and staff members of a particular school or other institution and disciplinary repositories, which gather together materials on a specific subject from scholars at many institutions.
DiscoverArchive is the institutional repository for Vanderbilt University. DiscoverArchive offers a convenient way to distribute your preprints, postprints, and published articles online and to share them with students and faculty at Vanderbilt and elsewhere. By uploading materials into DiscoverArchive, your work will benefit from attention by professional catalogers, who will assist with authority control and subject analysis.
If you have questions about the process or would like to get started with DiscoverArchive, please contact us for an orientation. We would also be glad to speak with your department or school about the benefits of depositing and sharing scholarly materials in DiscoverArchive.

BofA Turns Its Attention to 'Driving Core Earnings'
The canned quote from a CFO in a bank earnings release doesn't always mean too much, but for Bank of America Wednesday morning the message from Bruce Thompson is indeed different: it's time for earnings growth to be in the spotlight.
"We have turned our attention to driving core earnings," Thompson's quote says, after listing off, as it typically does, all the improvements made to the bank's capital levels and balance sheet.
The quote certainly contains a bit of corporate blustery coming on a day when Bank of America reported a profit of just $340 million, less than one-third of a penny per share.

It had been a very long day of driving on January 18. We arrived late in the evening, and the front desk woman was fantastic. We explained that we had two Reward Cards, and couldn't recall either number. She called us later to say that she had researched it for us, combined our numbers and we were all set! We didn't ask her to do this, and that is what "customer service" is all about! Then - I forgot to get a receipt for our stay. Fast forward three weeks, and now we need the receipt! We called the hotel, and got the same type of fantastic service from a different employee! They get great reviews for a reason! Glad to add our comments to the growing list.

Sponsors make NASCAR's wheels go 'round
By Chris Jenkins, USA TODAY
Old NASCAR: Grab the trophy, kiss the race queen, smile
for TV, thank your sponsor. Party on.
New NASCAR: Convey your company's "message points" as a
team public relations representative hands you the right hat, sunglasses and
beverage. After all, you're not just a race car driver with a Fortune 500 company's
logo on your fire suit, you're a "steward of the brand." And don't stay out
too late after the big win, champ; you're meeting with executives at company
headquarters,9 a.m. sharp.
An old saying in racing goes something like this: Speed
costs money. How fast do you want to go?
The cost of running a top NASCAR team has skyrocketed in
the last decade. What used to cost a few million dollars a year now easily requires
$20 million or more.
And the companies footing the bills are expecting more
for their money. Today's NASCAR stars are expected to squeeze palms and slap
backs just as well as they mash the gas pedal on Sundays. They're supposed to
speak at employee pep rallies and schmooze clients at the racetrack. Some drivers
struggle with those aspects of the job, but they're just as important as driving
"If you're a good guy and get good results, you can raise
$15 million a year," team owner Ray Evernham says. "A good guy with good results
who can stand on his hands and serve drinks and juggle with his feet is going
to bring in $20 million per year."
Not every sponsor spends that much. For $8 million, sometimes
less, a company can sponsor a midlevel team. That team probably won't win,
but TV still will show the car once in a while and the driver will do appearances
and commercials for the company.
Firms looking to spend less can sign up as associate sponsors
for $1 million or more for a top team. Other companies offer contingency awards
bonus prize money to top finishers every week as long as the car
displays the company's logo on its front fenders.
"It's not always important for the sponsors to win races,"
driver Kyle Petty says. "Let's use Cheerios as an example: When Cheerios sponsors
a race car and Cheerios' sales goes up X percent and we never won a race, then
it's been a good program for Cheerios.
"But at the end of the program, when we have to go find
another sponsor and we weren't competitive, then it's tough to sell."
There aren't too many good ol' boys left among the ranks
ofNASCAR drivers. Today's drivers are relatively polished because they have
to sell themselves to buttoned-down executives.
For that, much of the credit or blame goes
to Jeff Gordon. With superior driving skills, good looks and a game show host
stage presence, Gordon has it all.
"He changed what a Winston Cup driver is to a sponsor,"
says Evernham, who won three championships as Gordon's crew chief before leaving
to start his own team. "Jeff is so good, speaking and with his television
Letterman and all that. He raised the bar for the rest of these young guys."
That point is not lost on Gordon's prot�g�, rookie Jimmie
"I saw him at a function that Lowe's had for its store
managers," Johnson says. "There's 1,200 people in the room, and he just worked
them over. He's great at it."
Relationship takes time
Good-looking, well-spoken and flat-out fast, Johnson could
have plopped out of the same mold as Gordon.
But Gordon, who co-owns the No. 48 team with his boss,
team owner Rick Hendrick, says Johnson and the new team were unknowns, making
them a tough sell. Gordon's No. 24 car has plenty of sponsorship money from
companies such as DuPont and Pepsi, but he and Hendrick had to find a sponsor
to finance the new team. They eventually landed Lowe's, a national home improvement
chain, but it took some work.
"People don't realize that I'm out there battling for a
championship, winning races and leading the points, and I was spending so much
of my time trying to get sponsorship," Gordon says. "I knew it was going to
be a good program and, if we got the sponsor, we could make them happy. It wasn't
like we just had a couple meetings and just moved ahead. It took some time."
The relationship has been rewarding for Lowe's: Johnson
has run up front in almost every race and won twice, guaranteeing a wealth of
camera time for the Lowe's logo. And Johnson is quickly becoming popular with
fans, many of whom are certain to buy their next power saw at Lowe's.
Tony Stewart fans, meanwhile, will make their purchases
at rival Home Depot.
That shows why companies are willing to shell out a major
chunk of their marketing budgets to become NASCAR team sponsors. Although NASCAR
does not have the mainstream appeal of the Super Bowl or World Series, the gap
might not be as large as you think.
Hard-core fans are loyal
And what NASCAR lacks in broad-based appeal, its hard-core
fans make up for in brand loyalty.
The hottest blood feud in racing these days isn't on the track. It's
Home Depot vs. Lowe's. Although the drivers, Tony Stewart (Home Depot)
and Jimmie Johnson (Lowe's), don't seem to dislike each other, their sponsors
can't resist trading jabs. For example:
After Stewart called fans at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway "obnoxious"
in a magazine interview, Lowe's printed bumper stickers that said "We
love Alabama" and distributed them in the area before the April race at
In an episode one reporter jokingly referred to as "lumbergate," the
gift shop at Lowe's Motor Speedway in suburban Charlotte began displaying
Stewart's merchandise less prominently. Home Depot put up billboards outside
the speedway reading, "We'll see who owns this track."
NASCAR fans regularly shell out $25 for a T-shirt, $30
for a hat and even $300 for a jacket plastered with the corporate logo of their
favorite driver's sponsor. When it comes to shopping, many fans believe they're
helping their favorite by buying his sponsor's product.
"They understand that if Sirius Satellite Radio goes away,
that's one less car out there," says Philip Pilla, vice president of marketing
for Sirius.
Although NASCAR drivers are appearing in more TV commercials
than ever, the basic premise behind sponsoring a race car remains the same:
to get your company's logo in front of a big TV audience without having to pay
the network for a commercial. A Michigan-based company, Joyce Julius and Associates,
actually tracks how much TV time sponsors get during race broadcasts and assigns
a monetary value to that exposure.
But doing TV is more sophisticated than it was when Richard
Petty drove the STP car from the 1960s through the '80s.
Today much attention is paid to cars' paint schemes to
make them show up better on TV. Drivers attend media training sessions and memorize
corporate messages that sponsors want them to get across in TV interviews.
Johnson, for example, is to thank his company's "employee
owners" whenever possible. Lowe's racing program is intended to boost employee
morale as much as it is to get customers in the door. But Lowe's doesn't want
Johnson to hit people over the head with it.
"They don't want me to be a walking commercial," Johnson
says. "They hired me because they felt like I represent their company and I
am one of their employees one of the people that work in the stores.
They want me to come across that way, speak that way, be myself, not put on
some show and sound like a paid-for commercial."
But the season hasn't been perfect. The team's crew chief,
Chad Knaus, was fined $25,000 and Johnson lost 25 championship points Wednesday
because of a mechanical rules infraction at last weekend's race.
Sponsors can have a great deal of input on a team's choice
of driver, and sometimes the sponsor and the team have conflicting goals.
"There's a balance there, and there's a fine line the teams
walk between performance and promotion," Kyle Petty says. "There's a lot of
good-looking guys out there who can walk and talk and chew gum and really sell
products but they can't drive a race car. And there are a lot of guys who can
drive race cars but they can't walk and talk and chew gum."
Michael Waltrip, winner of last week's Pepsi 400 at Daytona,
is a natural spokesman for NAPA Auto Parts in front of TV cameras, but he is
a race car driver at heart.
"They want you to be able to perform and talk, and that's
what I want to be able to do, too," Waltrip says. "(But) I don't live to be
a good spokesperson. I appreciate that I have the God-given abilities to do
that and I'm thankful for that, but I want to be a race car driver, not a spokesperson."
Team owner Andy Petree bristles at the idea that a driver's
ability to accomplish a sponsor's marketing goals might be just as important
as his skill behind the wheel.
"He might be the best-looking, most well-spoken guy in
the world, but if he can't get it done on the racetrack, it's not going to do
much good for any sponsor," Petree says. "It still comes down to performance."
Demands are heavy
Just like golf, basketball and other sports, NASCAR is
increasingly catering to the corporate fan. The main difference: Tiger Woods
doesn't show up in your company's hospitality tent a few hours before he tees
off in the British Open.
Most drivers are required to make appearances on race day
morning, signing autographs and answering questions for a sponsor's employees
and clients.
Driving at 185 mph for three-plus hours demands a great
deal of concentration, and given the choice, most drivers probably would prefer
to stay in seclusion on Sunday morning. But they don't have that choice.
"Luckily, everybody's pretty respectful of your focus,"
Johnson says. "They'll try to make it as easy on you as possible. But it is
a really important part of the marketing program for us to go out there and
interact with the guests."
Gordon and Johnson are the prototypes, but most NASCAR
drivers have polished personalities. Elliott Sadler is attracting attention
from top teams like Robert Yates Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc., and it isn't
just because he can drive. He also is one ofNASCAR's funniest, most personable
young drivers.
"Elliott is a sponsor's dream," says his current boss,
team owner Eddie Wood. "Number one, he is an excellent race car driver. Number
two, he can do the off-the-track stuff. You can take him anywhere. You can bring
him in front of any group of people, whether it's your Wall Street-type group
or you're going to do an appearance at a local beer joint."
But the corporate aspect of racing doesn't come naturally
to every driver. "I am usually pretty shy when I don't know people," driver
Casey Atwood says. "But that's one thing you've got to learn to do is stand
up in front of people. It's not too bad. You just talk about what you know."
Evernham swears Atwood, who drives for Evernham's team
along with Bill Elliott and Jeremy Mayfield, is outgoing and funny behind closed
doors. Getting him to show that side of himself to people he doesn't know has
proved to be a challenge, but Atwood is working on it. After all, he's only
21 the youngest driver in Winston Cup.
"As he is in this sport longer, more people will get to
know him," Evernham says. "There are certain things he doesn't like to do
same as Bill (Elliott) doesn't or Jeff Gordon doesn't. Some day Casey will learn
that you've got to put on your smiley face even when you don't want to do something."

Frequently Asked Questions
Still sitting on the fence? (That can't be comfortable.) Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions...
Q: How is this class different than your regular tutorials?
The Color & Create class is more like a tutorial on steroids. This class contains almost 2 hours of video and over 200 step-by-step photos; I just cant do that in a blog post.
…This class is like watching a professional artist work and having them explain what they are thinking, not just what they're doing!
Over the last 10 years I have:
- -Figured out the fastest, easiest way to add color to my drawings and get awesome results...
- Stripped out the things that didn't work, while improving on the things that did.
- Taught hundreds of people just like you how to make art that makes them proud of their work and gets them noticed...

Your login and access information will be sent to the email address you provide, and you will be sent a direct link to access your class.
Q: Why $7?
If you're thinking "$7 is cheap…what's the catch?" then here are three reasons that should put your mind at ease:
1. $7 puts this information within the reach of everyone…and lets you see my process and teaching style before you join my Academy.
2. It helps you take coloring seriously. Look, if I gave all of this to you for free, you may or may not ever use it, but if you are serious enough about improving your coloring to make even a small investment of money, I know you're serious enough to invest your time into getting better.
3. It helps cover the cost of what it took to make it. Hey, I'm a professional artist - I make my living making drawings, not classes. Creating this takes time away from my commissions, and a boy's gotta eat.
I also believe that once you experience this class, you'll want more and maybe… just maybe…you'll come back, and possibly even upgrade to Color Academy Ink where you get access to the complete library of resources.
Q: Is there a guarantee?
Yep…all our classes have a 30-day, no-questions-asked guarantee.
If you go through the class, color your page, and feel like you didn't learn a damn thing new, just show us your finished page and get a full refund. Obviously I don't think it'll come to that, but if you're even a little bit worried about whether this will work for you, then put your mind at ease.

Nevada Latino Growth Pits Demographics Against Economics
Economics and demographics collide in the presidential contest in Nevada, a swing state that has chosen the winner in the last eight elections beginning in 1980.
- Graphic: Attention Turns to Nevada
The fastest-growing U.S. state over the past decade, Nevada now leads the nation in unemployment and underwater mortgages. That may help Republican Mitt Romney, whose campaign has focused on the slow economic recovery under President Barack Obama. Nevada has six electoral votes and a population of 2.7 million.
- Read More:Bloomberg Insider - Convention 2012
- Download:Bloomberg Insider 8/30 (PDF)
It has had the largest demographic shift in a swing state since 2008, led by Latinos. That may work in Obama's favor. In the last election, Hispanics cast 15 percent of the state's votes, three-quarters of them for Obama, according to exit-poll data. Now, there are even more Latino voters, according to William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Washington- based Brookings Institution.
"Our state is where two of the big narratives of the campaign come into tension," said David Damore, an associate professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "The economic context provides an opportunity for the Republicans, but they are working against demographic trends."
Frey said the portion of eligible voters who are minorities has gone up 9 percentage points in Nevada since 2008. Still, Obama will have to motivate Latinos and other minorities to vote at the same rate or higher than in the last presidential election if they are to counter what is expected to be a surge in enthusiasm among white Republicans, he said. For those voters, economic concerns are paramount, particularly in Nevada.
Economic Debris
Skeletal remains of halted construction projects litter the Las Vegas Strip, and unemployment -- 12 percent in July -- far exceeds the current national rate of 8.3 percent. Obama must convince a recession-weary populace that things are on the right track, says Robert Uithoven, a Reno-based Republican strategist.
"If people believe that, they'll vote for the president and give him a second term," said Uithoven, whose lobbying clients include Romney backer Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) "If Romney can make the case that he is a job creator and the status quo isn't working, he'll win."
In visits to the state, Obama has touted his efforts to keep student-loan costs down and make refinancing easier for underwater homeowners. He also jabbed Romney for telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal last year that he would let the housing crisis "run its course and hit the bottom."
'Team Nevada'
"The successful candidate here will give people in Nevada some hope that things are going to get better," said Dan Hart, a Democratic consultant in Las Vegas.
Obama carried Nevada in 2008 with 55 percent, making the state one of nine that switched from the Republican column in 2004. In 2010, the state re-elected Democratic Leader Harry Reid to the U.S. Senate while choosing the Republican Brian Sandoval as governor over Reid's son, Rory.
Democrats have a registration advantage in Nevada. Republicans turn out to vote more reliably, including a small, cohesive segment of Mormon voters expected to support fellow church member Romney, said Damore, the UNLV professor.
The Republican National Committee has begun establishing its own "Team Nevada" offices to unify Republican efforts. In May, supporters of Texas Representative Ron Paul's presidential campaign took control of the state Republican Party and the organization in Clark County, around Las Vegas.
Among Team Nevada's challenges is courting Hispanics. While Latinos aren't as enthusiastic about Obama as they were four year ago, they are turned off by Romney's stance on immigration, Damore says.
"His message has been on the economy and that the economic problems have hit the Latino community hard," Damore said.
