Bill Introduced to Reduce Gas Consumption by 500 Billion Gallons
Instead of one increase in fuel economy standards, bill introduces annual re-evaluation of standards.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Legislation has been introduced to the House that is estimated to reduce U.S. gas consumption by 549 billion gallons by 2028, and in turn, reduce foreign dependency on oil, reported FarmFutures.com.
The Fuel Economy Reform Act of 2006 takes a more flexible approach to fuel economy standards. In it, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) will be responsible for making annual increases in fuel economy standards, with a goal of one mile per gallon for vehicles each year, the Web site reported. The standards will be based on vehicles size and weight.
Flexibility is given to domestic automakers by providing different standards for different models of cars under the bill. According to the report, current standards make automakers match the same standards for the entire brand's offerings.
The NHTSA will also have the ability revise annual increases if the goal can not be reached with the current technology in place, if the safety of vehicles can be compromised, or if an increase in standards would not be cost-efficient when compared to economical and political value of one gallon of gas saved.
This legislation changes the debate on "if" the fuel economy standards will be raised, to "when," the report stated.
According to FarmFutures.com, the 4 percent per year reduction, if maintained for 20 years, would reduce consumption by 549 billion gallons of gasoline. With gas prices averaging $3 a gallon, this would mean $1.64 trillion savings to consumers in the 20 years.
The bill also provides tax incentives for auto manufacturers to change out existing parts and assembly plants in order to make more fuel-efficient vehicles. The report stated that this will allow domestic automakers to compete on the same levels as foreign hybrids and other flex-fuel vehicles.
"If it was not clear before, it is now. Domestic energy policy is at the center of our foreign policy," U.S. Senator Joseph Biden told FarmFutures.com. "For our national security we have to begin the transition to alternative fuels. We can't do that without making progress on fuel economy by upgrading to a better system that combines protection for U.S. automobile manufacturing jobs with predictable increases in fuel efficiency standards for cars, SUVs and light trucks."
The bill also gives tax credits to American consumers who buy a fuel-efficient vehicle, regardless of the current legislation that provides only 60,000 buyers per manufacturer per year with tax credits, the Web site stated.
The bill was introduced by U.S. Senators Barack Obama, Richard G. Lugar, Joseph Biden, Gordon Smith, Jeff Bingaman, Tom Harkin, Norm Coleman, and Dick Durbin.

PASSENGERS at Swindon Railway Station have criticised above-inflation ticket price hikes, which came into effect yesterday.
Overall, ticket prices have gone up by 3.9 per cent in England, Wales and Scotland, while fares for season ticket holders have increased by an average of 4.2 per cent.
According to the National Rail website, a standard class 12-month adult season ticket from Swindon to London is now £7,760, while a single adult ticket to Paddington is £24.80 off-peak and £58.50 on-peak.
Chris Watts, of the Fair Fares for Swindon campaign, said: "It affects Swindon more because our prices are higher than most other places, so as a percentage increase that affects people more.
"I think there should be a price freeze in Swindon or even a price drop to bring us into parity to other locations in the country.
"It's unfair we're paying proportionally more than other locations in the country, and it's affecting inward investment in the town."
Rail passenger Angie Farthing, 57, of central Swindon, said: "I go from here to Gloucester to visit my parents.
" I think everything going up above inflation is ridiculous. I feel really sorry for the youngsters and what they've got to put up with."
Jake Benn, 17, who travels regularly between Derby and Swindon to see his girlfriend Sophie Bird, 16, of Greenmeadow, said: "It's a bit much. I go back to Derby regularly, it costs me £30 return. Obviously it would be better if it was cheaper."
Sophie, also a student, said: "I think it's quite a lot, and for a student as well. I would like to see it reduced."
Pensioners Roger and Sue Marsden, of Old Town, were disappointed with the hike.
"It seems to me it's pricing people off the railway completely," said Roger.
Sue added: "It's making the car more and more desirable. The buses are very poor, generally all of the public transport is forcing us to use our cars, and yet they don't want us to."
Initially the rail fare increase was set at the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation, plus three per cent – a total of 6.2 per cent – but this was reduced to RPI plus one per cent by the Government in October.
Justin Tomlinson, the Swindon North MP, said the extra cash from passengers would be used alongside other public funds to improve capacity on railways.
He said: "I'm delighted that the chancellor pegged the increase to one per cent above RPI, in contrast to the two years of 10 per cent-plus hikes we saw under Labour.
"We welcome the continued huge investment in our local rail service, which has already seen the announcement of the electrification of the Great Western mainline and the doubling of the Swindon to Kemble line, which will speed up the service and crucially allow for a much-needed greater capacity, which will help lessen the need for price rises."

Much like wartime victors, officials from across Pinellas sat down Wednesday to carve up the unincorporated county into neat chunks that cities could easily annex.
There was more at stake than boundary lines. At least 19 issues are on the table, and some of them could have a far-ranging effect on the standard of living for many Pinellas residents.
Unlike the end of wars, the people who could be annexed were not ready to go quietly. Instead, residents from unincorporated areas sat on the edges ready to fight for their rights to live outside cities.
Among those were residents of Tierra Verde who have sworn to fend off an effort by St. Petersburg to annex two hotels and a marina on the end of their island. Also there were residents of the unincorporated Seminole and Lealman areas who have long struggled to block annexation attempts by Seminole and Pinellas Park.
How much of Tierra Verde could remain unincorporated is unclear. St. Petersburg voted Friday to annex a commercial area at the tip of the island.
But more than boundaries are on the table. The county handed out a list of issues that are high on the agenda. Some of those are controversial and could affect the delivery of services such as police protection and fire service across the county.
Perhaps the most controversial is a proposal to eliminate the requirement that annexed property be contiguous to the border of the annexing city. Opponents say that's a bad idea for several reasons.
First, it would allow cities to "cherry pick" tax-rich properties while leaving behind poorer areas. That would take tax money away from the county that could be used to improve those poorer areas. Also, having a piece of a city here and a piece there would be confusing for residents who would not know which policing agency, for example, had jurisdiction over their property.
Ray Neri, head of the Lealman Community Association, scorned the idea: "That's asinine. First of all, it flies in the face of good government. We would have hodgepodge annexation. ... It just defies logic."
Cities argue that service delivery is confusing now because their boundaries have jagged edges and that annexation will limit that confusion, Neri said. Yet it's the annexations that create those jagged borders and "now they're turning around and saying give us the power to make it even worse. It's so illogical, you wonder where these people's heads are."
Mark Ely, head of Seminole's planning department, said, "In principle, it would benefit the city, (but) you have to balance that with the cost of service."
The idea behind noncontiguous annexation is that, if an area is eventually going to be in a city, then the municipality should have the right to annex the area as fast as possible. Sometimes, Ely said, property owners who are not butted up against a city want to be annexed before the adjacent property owners. Those folks should not have to wait. But Ely said cities have to be careful when annexing areas that are not contiguous. Getting too far away from the city limits increases the costs of service delivery, from police patrols to public works employees who would have to drive through an unincorporated area to get to the far reaches of the city.
"I wouldn't mind noncontiguous annexation, but I would use it sparingly," Ely said. "There's got to be some rationality."
Neri's caustic outcry wasn't the only angry reaction at Wednesday's meeting of the negotiating committee under the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement Act.
"Unincorporated areas are fodder for land grabs" by cities greedy for taxes, said Art Hebert, a resident of the unincorporated Seminole area.
Dot Miller, also a resident of the unincorporated Seminole area, said she and other anti-annexation activists have talked with thousands of people throughout the years who do not want to be sucked into cities and who are tired of having to fight predators ready to gobble them up. The only way to stop the problems associated with annexation, she said, is to ban annexation.
Their comments received no response. The only responses to citizen comment came when Roger Wilson of unincorporated Seminole asked a question during the meeting and when a Tierra Verde resident demanded to know why St. Petersburg would pursue an annexation unwanted by islanders while sitting at a negotiation designed to work out annexation issues.
Wilson received no direct response to his question. Instead, Kenneth City town attorney Paul Marino objected to the question, saying, "for the general public to interject into this meeting ... is totally out of order."
Audience members were required to wait until the end of the meeting to comment and ask questions. But answers were not forthcoming. At the question from Tierra Verde, Gordon Beardslee, the county planner who was presiding, said the meeting was not the place for such questions.

The share price of Games Workshop surged after chairman Tom Kirby snapped up 185,000 shares – at 535p, the transaction was worth close to £1m, and means he now holds 6.7 per cent of the company. We've been fans of the shares for some time, first tipping them at 423p in August 2010 – since then they've risen 36 per cent, but the company's policy of distributing surplus cash to shareholders means that total returns have, in fact, been 67 per cent. That policy is one of the reasons why we're still keen on the shares.

I have it installed now (manually) and played a bit with it.
What I noticed...
No chess
You can choose Dictionaries now. But... I removed all dictionaries but English-german, then clicked on an English word and got "no english dictionary installed". Grmpff...
2(!) crashes in the first 5 minutes, both related to dictionaries. But, at lease you can remove all the dictionaires that you really do not need, so it does not always start with the French one now for me (which I never wanted)
German still does hypernation after/before just one single letter. I really wonder if anyone from Kobo ever reads all the complaints about these things...
fast, but not faster than 2.1.1. Too slow to turn it off (takes over a minute until it's back and the card is accessable)
still no change on the page-turn zones, e.g. "tap anywhere to forward, swipe to go back" or "tap lower half for forard, upper half for back"
The number of the firmware is 2.1.4 (r43710, 10/1/12)
These are the release notes:
Install dictionaries in your preferred languages
Enjoy faster page-turning and book loading
Benefit from better text selection, highlighting and Wi-Fi performance

Built in 1686, Byfleet Manor in Surrey has been a familiar backdrop to the Downton action for five years. Fans of the show will recognise it as Dower House, home to Lady Violet Crawley, the dowager played by Dame Maggie Smith.
The 17th-century house was put on the market in May for £3.95 million, alongside four additional lots in the grounds - three more residential properties and a development plot. And now, the entire estate has been snapped up by a British buyer after attracting interest from around the globe.
Simon Ashwell, head of Savills Weybridge, said: "Houses like this are rare to the market so it wasn't surprising that Byfleet Manor went under offer within 12 weeks of coming to the market."
The home was sold by local business woman Julie Hatton, who bought it some 10 years ago for about £1 million.

"We're thrilled the buyer has purchased all five lots, rather than the main house being separated from the remainder of this historic estate, which has connections to The Domesday Book as well as Downton Abbey," says Ashwell.
New research from Halifax reveals Downton's 'halo effect' extends to homes located close to stately homes - with house prices around stately homes growing at double the rate of the national average over the last 10 years.
"It can cost home buyers, on average, £41,000 extra to live nearby to a stately home compared to neighbouring areas," says Housing Economist at Halifax, Martin Ellis.
Byfleet Manor is set in sprawling grounds of almost 20 acres and offers extensive 6,000sq ft of living space, spread over four floors.
Thanks to its grand proportions and fine period architecture, the mansion has played a starring role in two other well-known period dramas, Poirot and Cranford.
But the estate once belonged to royalty, passing through the hands of King Edward I and Henry VIII. The Queen Consort Anne of Denmark, wife of King James I, was its last royal owner.
"For all its fame, Byfleet Manor is actually in an idyllic location at the end of a winding country lane on the fringe of the nearby village, discreetly positioned for privacy and security," says Ashwell.

Hi all:
The first set is how my page looks:

(btw, "NOT" blah means that the words there don't match the words and phrases used in meta name and meta keywords)
Here is theirs:
2)<meta name="keywords" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta name="description" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta name="FSAccessControl" content="" /><meta name="FSChildTemplate" content="default.html" /><meta name="FSDateCreation" content="08/24/09 01:20 PM" /><meta name="FSDatePublish" content="08/24/09 01:20 PM" /><meta name="FSFLContent" content="yes" /><meta name="FSLanguage" content="en-US" /><meta name="FSOnSitemap" content="yes" /><meta name="FSPageDescription" content="" /><meta name="FSSearchable" content="yes" /><meta name="FSWritertoolPageType" content="CustomPage" /><meta name="FSSection" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-US" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah" property="og:title" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah ="og:site_name" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta content="288191961271713" property="fb:page_id" /><meta property="og:url" content="http://www.blah.com/blah-blah-blah-Overview/" /><meta property="og:type" content="article" />
The owner of the second set of meta tags ranks far far far beyond anybody else (myself included). Even when I type the search phrase in a search engine EXACTLY as appears in my Title tag, their pages (with Title tags that don't even have one keyword that matches their Title or my Title) still out rank everybody else.
What gives?
Is there some other Mojo out there (don't say content either--my content is far superior. I have as much as 10 pages of quality content written up as opposed to theirs. For every 1 page of content in a particular topic that they have, I have 3 to 5 more content pages with properly placed H1, H2 tags, etc.). And don't say sites linking back to them, they don't have those either. Nor do I. Although I'm contemplating submitting my site to a LINK DIRECTORY related to our topic. (I read here that those don't matter anymore).
NOTE: I do have my own You Tube videos (around 340 of them) where my site's URL appears in the description of the video as a link BACK to my site. (Does that overcome my HTML Tag problem?)
They do have a blog, though, contained within their site. I'm working on doing the same. It's not finished yet.
ONE BIG ADVANTAGE THEY HAVE: My site is new. It's been in its current form for about 6 to 8 months. Theirs has been number one on the first page of Google / Yahoo for about 3 to 5 years now.
So, other than the amount of time in the number one position, and the blog, how can I optimize my tags, etc, so that now I'll be the one in the number position?
I am actually number 3 or 7 on some Google/Yahoo searches for some of my pages, even after only about 6 months.
Should I use ALL of the same exact meta tags they are using?
Is their setup a SUPERIOR setup than mine?
I have been reading here that most of the meta tag stuff is just fluff and doesn't really matter much at all. Is that true?
Their meta tags have nothing to do with it. Most of those meta tags are for third-party platforms like Facebook. And all the FS----- stuffs seems to be nothing but CMS related functions.
Please do not cross-post. The active thread is here: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?893815-Are-Their-Meta-Tags-Superior-To-Mine

Reclaimed Wood Cookbook Stand
Stacy Borocz brings new meaning to the term lost and found. The maker, who is deeply inspired by the time she spent living in Hungary, scours old homes, barns, and warehouses with her team to find architectural objects to turn into one-of-a-kind housewares. "Creating pieces is all about curating a life well-lived—one that we believe is best enjoyed around food, wine, friends, and family," she says. "And, most importantly, one that is rooted in the classics and sustainably procured." Though she's now based in Georgia, Budapest remains Stacy's greatest source of inspiration. "It's where we gather our 19th century wood beams and where our sustainable roots began," she says. "The architecture is spectacular and comprises a unique blend of old and new. It's a feast for the eyes and the soul."

A strong performance from its building products division helped Brickworks to offset declines in its property and investment arms to post a steady interim profit.
The net profit of $56.3 million for the six months to the end of January was earned on revenue of $325.6 million up from $311.3 million.
The interim dividend was raised to 14c from 13.5c on earnings a share of 36.1c down from 37.9c.
The pre-tax profit from the building products arm rose 37 per cent to $19.2 million.
Victoria is continuing to suffer from a "major decline" in starts of detached housing, Brickworks said, with activity at record levels in Western Australia and firm in most other markets. In NSW, most activity is in the high rise sector, it said.
The slow recovery in building products demand is now behind it, with volume demand at its Austral bricks unit ahead 30 per cent in March, year on year, it said.
"Significantly higher earnings" are expected from the building products division in the second half, it said.
Overall, full year earnings will "comfortably exceed" the year earlier figures, it said.
In the year to July, the net profit totalled $85.2 million, with analysts expecting a full-year profit of around $105-110 million.

One would think as much as I like shoes, I would have a lot of every style, but that is not true. I tend to lean towards something with a heel for all seasons. As for tennis shoes, I buy maybe one pair every 5 years or so. When we were Christmas shopping, I came accross these Nike Air Tri-D Run II on sale at Scheels. I thought about it a lot, and I think the gray with a touch of pink looks good (it's technically Metallic Zinc/Coral Chalk). I plan to break them in tonight while playing shuffle board. In case you're looking for a pair, I also found them on sale online at Zappos.com.

I found that when the 5 mg comes in circular pills, they're quite easy to cut into (almost) equal quarters. But cutting the oblong pills is a real pain in the ass!
jayth: I can't imagine .5 mg twice a day (instead of 1 mg once a day) would have much of an impact on effectiveness or likelihood of side effects. But I guess it could be worth experimenting with if you get unwanted sides.

After days of running on caffeine, midterms are finally over. It's time to put the books away and relax, or in the case of many college students, continue to get no sleep. Whether you're headed home to spend time with family or going to a tropical paradise with your friends, spring break is the perfect time to debut your warm weather clothing that you've been harboring.
This Fashionista is ready to begin her week off from classes in style. With her mint and pink ensemble, she displays the color palette that can be seen in every store right now. Dark colors and heavy fabrics are beginning to come off of the shelves to make room for lighter materials and pastel hues. I will admit it— the first time I walked into the store I was not too happy to find this Easter egg color combination. I missed my black. Since then, I have gotten over my separation anxiety and had a change of heart. Spring is the perfect season to lighten up our wardrobe.
My favorite part of this Fashionista's ensemble is her patterned shorts. How could you not have fun in a pair of high-waisted ice cream print shorts? Bold patterns show off one's personality and are a great alternative to the standard pair of jean shorts that many people will be seen wearing. Easy and comfortable to move around in, shorts are an essential item to any spring break packing list.
She pairs her bottoms with a simple cotton shirt and studded nude flats. Sometimes it is easy to go overboard with prints but these items perfectly complement the pattern without adding chaos to the outfit.
One Simple Change: Her nude flats are great for a casual day. Replace them with a pair of wedges and add a chucky necklace to transform this outfit into something that can be worn to dinner or a night out.

Thieves in Germany have made off with a truckload of Nutella, stealing five tons of the hazelnut chocolate spread from a parked semi-trailer, police said on Monday.
The theft of seven palettes of Nutella jars, worth a total of about 16 000 euros ($20 800), took place at the weekend in the city of Niederaula in the central state of Hesse, said police.
Thieves in the region have previously stolen other large quantities of food products, including five tons of coffee worth 30 000 euros taken in March and 34 000 cans of an energy drink in August.
The site of the thefts, northeast of Frankfurt, is near a road transport hub where truck drivers living in the region tend to park their lorries at weekends, said a police spokesman. - AFP

Desert Vista High School's marching band took home its third gold plate last weekend during the Arizona State Marching Band Championships.
Also receiving a trophy for the High Music Performance caption, director Josh Thye said he is nothing but humbled at winning first place again.
"It's been a journey each year that really tests you," Thye said. "An aspect of what we do is to make it to a high level and then maintain it, which is tough."
Two weeks ago, the marching band also participated in the State Marching Band Festival, hosted at Desert Vista.
Giving due credit to his marching band's former members, parent boosters and other donators, Thye added that he is extremely grateful for the support from the school community.
"They mean so much to me, it really makes the program move and operate," he said.
Thye said the students even surprised themselves in winning the first place title for the third time.
"It was a difficult, cold and windy day," he said. "But they had heart and soul, just to see a genuine joy in them makes the work well worth it."

Top 5 Godsmack Singles – Dru's Picks
I could have gone with top 5 albums or videos, but I went with singles in the hopes that Sully will take an interest in little ole Dru and indulge my need to hear these live when they come to town for Q-Ruption next week. Let us begin.
Apparently, Godsmack has an affinitiy for upstate NY since they never seem to miss a show here. The band has come to SPAC more times than I can count, and I hope it's a tradition they uphold in the future too. I have no doubt that when they take the stage at SPAC again next Friday, August 19th for Q-Ruption, they'll receive a monumentally warm welcome from all of us, RIGHT?! (I'll be watching to make sure you do!)
"Voodoo" (1999) Godsmack
Why?: Don't try to deny the fact that you sing along to this whenever you hear it on the radio. There's just no way to escape that haunting "voodoo" refrain (some might even say it's…voodoo <– bad joke) or seductive bass playing. Whether you realize it or not, this one will still be in your head hours after you've heard it and you love it every single time it happens.
"I Stand Alone" (2002) Faceless & Scorpion King Soundtrack
Why?: This song was the only reason I had any interest in seeing The Scorpion King. I never actually got around to seeing it, but from what I got from the reviews, the song was the best part about the film anyway. To prove it, Sully & Co. earned two Grammy nods for it that year – "Best Rock Song" and "Best Hard Rock Performance." And by "Rock," I do not mean Dwayne "no-neck" Johnson.
"Serenity" (2003) Faceless
Why?: It's a song about healing that was written by Sully as a tribute to his childhood role model Neil Peart. I think it's the closest thing to a ballad the group has ever released as a single. The lyrics tell a story we can all relate to and ask questions that at some point we all wind up asking ourselves in life. Not to mention the song title also happens to be the title of one of my all-time favorite geeky, sci-fi movies – long live Joss Whedon!
"Good Times, Bad Times" remake (2007) Good Times, Bad Times…Ten Years of Godsmack
Why?: If anyone is going to cover Zeppelin, it better be Godsmack. And no other song is going to capture the crazy roller-coaster life these guys went on in the ten years leading up to their induction today into the pantheon of great rockstars they are now – you have good times, and you have bad times. That's really all you or anyone else needs to know.
"Cryin' Like a Bitch!" (2010) The Oracle
Why?: Rumor has it this was written in response to some bad blood between GS and members of other bands they had toured with once upon a time. Sully's a stand-up guy and never dropped any specific names (at least none that I ever discovered) instead he took the high road and wrote a balls-to-the-ground rock song that we all want to play for our exes.
Hopefully, at least three, if not all, will be performed at SPAC NEXT FRIDAY when Q-Ruption is unleashed on the Capital District. This show will be epic and I'm going to rub it in your face if you don't join us for the event. Mmmm, I can see the fist pumping now!
Anyone else have a wishlist they'd like to hear next week?

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is a major doubt for Sunday's trip to face Manchester City after picking up a calf injury in United's Champions League loss to Cluj on Wednesday. Sir Alex Ferguson has stated that the injury is a major concern and could keep Cleverley out of action for some weeks.
Cleverley had to come off shortly before halftime in the Red Devil's loss to Cluj and was replaced by Paul Scholes. Ferguson is not too optimistic about Cleverley's chances of a quick return especially in time for Sunday's match at the Etihad Stadium.
"We'll assess Tom in the morning," Ferguson said. "He felt his calf a little but it's not good news. We'll see what he's like in the morning."
Scholes will most likely play in place of Cleverley on Sunday if the English midfielder is not fit to face City. Shinji Kagawa is nearing a return to first team action but is unlikely to be ready for the City match.Tags: Cluj, Manchester, Manchester City, Manchester United, Premier League, Shinji Kagawa, Sir Alex Ferguson, Soccer, Tom Cleverley

On Valentine's Day, it was no secret what Ithaca College students love — besides their friends, family, and significant others, of course. This February 14th, IC students celebrated the day and their love for their school by using the hashtag #IHeartIC in their tweets.
When the college's official Twitter account announced the hashtag early in the morning, students and alums from all over took to their laptops and smartphones, describing everything from their love for the campus and their classes to their friends and even their favorite foods in the dining halls.
By the end of the day, images from the IC community from those who participated filled a heart-shaped design on the @IthacaCollege Twitter account. At the end of the day, we counted nearly 200 tweets using the hashtag, proving that love, actually, is all around.
We've collected the best tweets here for you to enjoy:

RedField Scope
I HAVE A REDFIELD 3x9 4-PLEX LPWF WITH ACCUTRAC purchased in 1979. I can't find the paperwork that came with the scope nor the Accutrac cams.
Where can I find the manual and spare parts.
Well, if no one else ...
Those scopes were made in the late 60s and 70s. They were good ones in most respects. If they are stored in hot places - like a car trunk - the range finding decal will soon peel off the glass but other than that they were ok.
Instructions - the twin horizontal stada lines are 18" apart at 100 yards. That's the "average" chest depth of white tail deer, standing ground hogs, etc. You turn the power adjust ring until those lines bracket a deer's chest and read the range on the lowest part of the decal.
Cams - ?? I don't remember any cams being available. You just have to know your trajectory and hold accordingly.
Parts - The only spare parts I remember were some replacement knobs for the adjustments. Doubt you will find any, THAT part of Redfield is long gone, only the brand name remains as a division of Meade.
American industrial management methods done by bean counters killed the original Redfield company off years ago, as they do most of the companies they gain control of. It ain't unions, or foreigners, or the gov. that kills most companies, it's their own foolish, college trained managment methods.
If you're interested shoot me a PM or email. On the email subject put dial or Redfield.If the dials for a 2x7 are the same as for a 3x9 is anyones guess.
There was a place doing Redfield warranty work in Miami FL. It was ABO.I TRIED LOOKING IT UP with no results. It was www.abousa.com if I'm not mistaken

New Delhi, Dec 27 (IANS) Amid rousing chants of "PM, PM" by his supporters, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Thursday thanked the BJP for its support and said the development work done by his government was responsible for its hat-trick win in the assembly polls.
Addressing a felicitation event at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters here, Modi said: "For 12 years, my government has done work... The people of Gujarat have voted in favour of the good work done by my party in the state."
His supporters kept up a chant of "PM, PM" - voicing their demand that Modi be named the BJP's prime ministerial candidate for 2014.
Praising the party, Modi said it was possible for an ordinary party worker like him to become a chief minister of the state.
"It was possible for me, a simple worker, to rise to where I am today," he said.
Earlier, BJP chief Nitin Gadkari praised Modi for the "tohfa (gift)" he had got in the form of the party scoring a massive win in the state elections for a third time.
"Gujarat is an example before the nation," Gadkari said.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Wright, Deborah J. Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-02102004-161657 Title Molecular Biology of Desiccation Tolerance in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc commune Degree Master of Science Department Biochemistry Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Potts, Malcolm Committee Chair Gregory, Eugene M. Committee Member Larson, Timothy J. Committee Member Keywords
- cyanobacteria
- Nostoc commune
- superoxide dismutase
- desiccation tolerance
Date of Defense 2004-02-03 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe molecular biology of desiccation tolerance was investigated in the cyanobacteria with emphasis on Nostoc commune. Analysis of DNA from 41 samples of desiccated Nostoc spp. of varied age and global distribution led to the amplification of 43 independent tRNALEU(UAA) group 1 intron sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of the entire data set made it possible to define the form species Nostoc commune.
The synthase (spsA) and phosphatase (sppA) genes required for the synthesis of sucrose were isolated from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 and overexpressed in E. coli in two different vector constructions. Transformants had a marked increased capacity for desiccation tolerance. Sucrose synthesis was confirmed through thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis of cell extracts from transformants.
Long-term stability of DNA in desiccated Nostoc samples was demonstrated by the ability to amplify selected gene loci from samples stored dry for decades. Successful amplification in some samples was possible only after treatment with phenacylthiazolium bromide, a reagent that disrupts covalent cross-links; indicating that the DNA was modified by cross-links that occurred between reducing sugars and the primary amines on the DNA.
Abundant superoxide dismutase was released following rehydration of desiccated field material N. commune CHEN after 13 years in the dry state. sodF mRNA was present in the dry material but was turned over within 15 min of rehydration. mRNA levels then rose and appeared to reach steady state levels after 3 hours and remained abundant after 24 hours of rehydration.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Neymar arrived at the Confederations Cup following lackluster performances in Brazil's famous yellow jersey. With three goals in four matches, he's helped the hosts reach Sunday's final against world and European champion Spain and can boost his stature even more before joining Barcelona next month.
The 21-year-old forward was voted man of the match in his team's first three games and played a key role in 2-1 semifinal win over Uruguay.
"Barcelona must be beaming seeing what he has been doing here. He has been playing well, making a difference against European defenders," Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said of Neymar, who had been struggling before announcing his move to Barcelona. He hadn't scored in nine matches.
Neymar opened the scoring for Brazil in the opener against Japan and also in the second match against Mexico, both times with remarkable goals. He netted his third with a free kick against Italy and assisted on both Brazil goals against Uruguay.
"I'm really happy with how things have turned out for me and for the national team so far," Neymar said Friday.
Neymar attracted attention with great performances with Santos in Brazil, but critics were quick to downplay his potential after he failed to replicate that same success with the national team.
He was often criticized for diving too much, an issue that came up again during the Confederations Cup when Uruguay captain Diego Lugano accused the Neymar of trying to "fool the referees and the rivals."
The remarks prompted Brazil's soccer federation to put out a lengthy statement in the player's defense.
"It's worth repeating that Neymar doesn't need to resort to diving to play the type of football that is enchanting the world," the federation said.
Like many attackers, Neymar has gone to ground easily during this tournament but also has looked more muscular and resistant to the attentions of some of Europe's best defenders.
The Confederations Cup is his third significant competition with the national team. After helping Brazil's under-20s win the South American championship in 2011, he was part of the Selecao that lost to Paraguay in the quarterfinals of that year's Copa America. Then he played for Brazil's team that lost the final of last year's Olympics to Mexico, a tournament of mostly under-23 players.
Neymar was among the players loudly jeered by home fans after playing poorly against Chile in a 2-2 exhibition this year.
"Neymar is our idol. He is the people's idol," Scolari said. "He has had a nice string of matches, and everybody is happy about that. It's important for him to be going through all of these different situations with Brazil because it's something that will make him even better in the future."
On Sunday, he'll be facing future Barcelona teammates Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas, Pedro Rodriguez, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba.
"I'm anxious already, This is a match that can stay with me for the rest of my life. I will be defending my country, with the entire world watching," Neymar said. "The Brazilian fans are completely behind us now. They are supporting us no matter what and hopefully they will be our 12th player again on Sunday to help us win this title."

House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rep. Norm Dicks made the following comments after release of the House FY13 Subcommittee 302(b) Allocations for FY2013:
"Today, House Republicans have made public their subcommittee allocations for the FY13 fiscal year. These subcommittee numbers are based on an overall allocation that reneges on our hard fought agreement for discretionary spending in the Budget Control Act. Finding the right balance for discretionary spending -- between the need for austerity and the need to invest to grow the economy -- was not easy. In fact, it was considered a major accomplishment and gave many of us on the Appropriations Committee, both Republicans and Democrats, hope that we had put the worst of the budget brinkmanship behind us.
"Our economic recovery needs the certainty of a functioning budget process as well as continued investments in infrastructure, innovation and the social safety net. The Ryan Budget allocation undermines both.
"I am optimistic, however, that the current position of House Republicans is temporary and that we will eventually return to the bipartisan allocation in the Budget Control Act of $1.047T. Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader McConnell and the top Republican Appropriator, Thad Cochran, have reaffirmed their commitment to this number and the President has threatened to veto any bill that doesn't conform to the law.
"Tomorrow at full committee markup, I will encourage my Republican colleagues to reject these subcommittee allocations and return to a bipartisan process for consideration of discretionary spending."

Republicans turned against Boehner, leaders after GOP's big 2014 victory
Republicans were elated after their party took full control of Congress in the 2014 midterms. But that mood quickly turned to disappointment, and Republicans' frustration with House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders has risen sharply this year. Now, Boehner has become the latest casualty.
After years of trying to manage his rebellious GOP caucus, Boehner announced Friday he will be resigning as speaker and giving up his House seat at the end of October. The resignation comes as Boehner has been trying to avert a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1 – an effort that put him at odds with conservatives who are opposed to any funding bill that doesn't cut off Planned Parenthood. His decision to resign could give him a freer hand to push the measure through.
Many Americans were unfamiliar with Boehner when he took over as speaker shortly after Republicans won a majority in the House in December 2010. At that time, 28% viewed him favorably and 25% unfavorably, while nearly half (47%) had no opinion of the Ohi0 Republican.
As Boehner's visibility grew, his image turned more negative. In October 2013, shortly before the last government shutdown, 27% viewed him favorably and 50% had an unfavorable impression. By March of this year, those opinions had shown little change: Just 22% had a favorable opinion of him while 51% viewed him unfavorably.
Before this year, however, Boehner had at least been seen more positively than negatively within his own party. But last December, just a few weeks after the GOP's sweeping congressional victory, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents were divided (37% favorable, 36% unfavorable). And in late March, for the first time in his five-year tenure as speaker, more Republicans and GOP leaners viewed him unfavorably (43% than favorably (34%).
Tea Party Republicans' views of Boehner, in particular, became much more negative between December and March. In December, opinion of Boehner was divided among Republicans and leaners who agree with the Tea Party (45% favorable, 43% unfavorable). In March, unfavorable impressions outnumbered favorable views by 15 percentage points (52% to 37%).
However, Boehner has not been alone in drawing the ire of Republicans. Our survey in May found general dissatisfaction among Republicans with the new GOP-led Congress and its leaders.
Just 37% of Republicans said GOP leaders were keeping campaign promises, far below the percentages of Republicans who expressed that view following GOP congressional victories in 2010 (54%) and 1994 (80%). And just 41% approved of the job performance of GOP leaders, down from 60% and 78%, respectively, after those victories.
The source of Republicans' frustration was clear: Most wanted Republican congressional leaders to take a more confrontational stance toward congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama. In May, 75% of Republicans said they wanted Republicans in Congress to challenge Obama more often. Only 15% said they were handling relations with Obama about right, while just 7% favored a more conciliatory approach toward the Obama administration.

The Repub leaders have been caving in every time Obama threatens to shut down the Govt if he doesn't get everything he wants. The Repub leaders fear that the press will blame them for the shutdown (as they always do). They need to grow a pair and let Obama follow thru on his treat and shut down the Govt. It's ridiculous to just keep caving in on radical policies out of fear. Geez, they couldn't even stop Obama from gifting nuclear warheads to the wackos in Iran. That was the last straw … yes Boehner is a "nice guy" but in this case, the nice guy really did finish last … by caving in and getting his a$$ kicked on every key issue. Just a horrendous track record.
Uh, no.
The loss of Boehner is a loss of rational approach to problems and a possible end of any attempts to seek actions joining both sides of the aisle in seeking what is best for the nation and the myriad special interests of the my way or no way groups.

One of the few high school sports events to happen last Thursday despite the cold and wet conditions was the home track and field meet at Rockford.
The Rockets won the dual meet for boys and girls against Maple Lake. Coach Chad Robran says the highlight of the meet was the new track, which was dry.
"The new facility has made a huge difference, which may be overlooked," said the first-year head coach. "You can practice every day on the new track wearing spikes. Before, you could not because of the old and hard surface. When you practice in spikes it makes a difference in strength and speed because it builds ankle and foot strength."
One highlight of the meet was the performance by senior Jordan Weeding, who won both hurdle events and set a personal record in winning the high jump.
"Abby Botten won the mile in a personal best time of 5.29, which is pretty good for this time of the year running in the cold," adds Robran. "She looks to be on her way to another visit to the state meet."
Robran also was happy about the results of Anya Cady, who ran in her first track meet. She also plays for the Rocket varsity softball team, mainly as a pinch runner. Cady won the long jump, tied for first in the 100-meter dash and took second in the 200.
Robran says the sophomore may be a key piece on the sprint relay teams, giving the 4×100 relay a chance to qualify for state. Rockford won both the 4×100 and 4×400 relays against Maple Lake.
Mariah Givens took first in the 200 and tied with Cady for first in the 100. Hope Achtelik was first in the 400.
The boys were paced by three double event winners. Jordan O'Reilly who won the 300 hurdles and long jump, Nick Klonne captured first in the 800 and 1600 events and Erik Olson was first in the pole vault and tied for first in the high jump.
Other first place winners were James Monssen in the shot put, Ken Gilb in the 200 and Jack Richardt in the 3200. First place was also captured by the 4×100, 4×400 and 4×800 relays.
Rockford will compete at the re-scheduled Maple Lake co-ed relays Thursday, May 8 and at the Central Minnesota Conference meet Tuesday, May 13 also at Maple Lake.

Chicken EnpHused Baked Potato
The idea for this recipe came from me destarching potatoes to make healthier French fries for my grandchildren and teaching a weight loss cooking class.
When soaking potatoes in water, the starch pulled out is replaced with water. We know oil and water does not mix so the water acts as a barrier preventing the oil from penetrating into the potato. This creates a crispy outside and soft interior French fry and healthier potato for children lessening the neuron inhibitor effects especially in children with autism.
However, baked potato is a resistant starch food and good for losing weight because the body does not absorb the starch. The key here to maximize this effect is to bake the potato and let it cool BEFORE eating.
Who wants to eat a dry baked potato? didn't think you did, well nor do I.
Therefore, I applied the destarching principles I used in making French fries and ended up with a moist flavored baked potato that could be eaten cold and would aid in weight loss as well.
1. Roast a whole chicken using Mama Vega*s Seasoning with a Purpose Poultry Seasoning.
2. Prick potatoes with a knife all over
3. Sprinkle each potato with sea salt (sea salt is not processed with corn, others are).
4. Put potatoes in a dish so they all fit flat
5. cover with the chicken dripping created from the roasted chicken.
6. If necessary add hot water that has been pre-seasoned with Mama Vega*s Seasoning with a Purpose Poultry Seasoning.
7. Soak for at least four (4) hours.
8. Remove potatoes from dish and place on a baking sheet.
9. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 90 minutes.
10. Remove potatoes from oven and put in a covered dish.
11. Let cool.
12. Eat alone or cut into cubes to make potato salad.
Remember eating after the potatoes have cooled promotes weight loss

On Tuesday, January 15, the organizers of the 58th Berlin Film Festival has announced that 'Shine A Light', a documentary of the two concerts of the veteran British rock band, will open the festival.
The Rolling Stones concert film "Shine A Light" will open the 2008 Berlin Film Festival on February 7. On Tuesday, January 15, the organizers of the 58th Berlinale announced that the documentary picture made by the Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is going to be the opening film and the veteran British rock band is expected to attend the screening.
On picking the film as the opening movie, the festival director Dieter Kosslick commented, "We are extremely excited to have the World Premiere of this magnificent film as our opening gala." Meanwhile, on the movie itself, Kosslick stated, "Martin Scorsese has captured the pure essence of an iconic band on the big screen."
"Shine", which is scheduled to be released in Germany in spring 2008, captures the raw energy of the one of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands in their two concerts at the Beacon Theatre, New York, on October 29, 2006 and November 1, 2006. The concert film that was shot using sixteen cameras features special guest performances from Jack White of The White Stripes, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy. It also shows rarely-seen archival footage and current behind the scenes footage and interview. On the related news, Berlinale will end on February 17.

DANCES WITH WEREWOLVES is Coming to a Theater Near You!
Dances with Werewolves!? I am really excited that this movie is being made. I know a lot of people loveDances With Wolves, and I can respect that. I watched it once, and that did the trick, I didn't really care for it. I've tried watching it since that first initial viewing, and I wanted to gouge my eyes out. There is no redeeming value in watching it multiple times. Then they go and make it longer! Please shoot me now.
If you were to tell me that the extended scenes involved blood thirsty Werewolves coming for Kevin Costner's blood, I would be all over that. Who wouldn't be!? Here is what bloodydisgusting had to say about this new Dances with Wolves film.
Ariane Entertainment CEO Rene Robinson announced the company has green lit a new horror film titled Dances With Werewolves. It will tell the story of American Civil War POW's who fight for their lives against the terrifying transformative powers of Native American warriors.
The period horror flick is set to start filming in Louisiana in January and has a $10 million dollar budget. Chad Ferrin (Someone's Knocking at the Door, Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!) will direct and the cast has yet to be announced. SFX Studio (Underworld, Alien Trespass) will be in charge of bringing the werewolves to life and Crest Digital (Titanic, The Matrix) will handle post-production.
Fantastic! I am going to keep my eyes open for this one. Let us know what you think!
McMurphy Out!
I probably give the best high fives EVER!
