Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2014 (1263 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's an old hockey adage -- a team can never have enough quality defencemen -- and the Winnipeg Jets are no different than any of their NHL rivals in coveting quantity and quality in their D corps.
But a quick peek at their depth chart in the wake of the Mark Stuart contract extension this week also reveals another fact: The organization isn't afraid to make a long-term commitment to those who want to do the same.
Signing Stuart to a four-year extension worth $10.5 million might have raised some eyebrows across the NHL -- he is a 29-year-old vet ideally suited to a third pairing -- but a lot of his appeal to the Jets comes from the intangibles that aren't always measured in the black and white of the statistics.
"He's exactly the man you want in the room when you are young as we are," said Jets coach Paul Maurice. "He's an incredibly fit fella who works hard off ice. He does all the hard things over the course of a game... he's willing to stick up for his teammates, he blocks everything, he plays at a complete compete level and he's the right man to bring a player like Jacob Trouba along and show him the way the game's being played.
"You have to be in the room and you have to be on the bench to get an appreciation for him. The camera's angle won't allow it. Stuie's not in the camera angle often after the puck moves past the blue-line. But you watch the hits that get finished after the play moves, he just does everything as hard as he can."
That kind of gushing evaluation can be found simply by going from stall to stall in the dressing room, too, where Stuart is one of the most-respected and beloved Jets. Stuart said he might have been tempted to test the free-agent waters this summer but he's fond of Winnipeg and, just as important, the direction he believes the organization is headed.
"There's definitely some appeal in unrestricted free agency, but for me, personally, I'm happy here, I've built relationships here and I have faith in the organization and in the guys in this room," he said. "It was really a no- brainer for me to stay. They showed great faith in me by giving me this deal. I'm humbled and really proud to be a Jet.
"For me as soon as I got here I fell in love with it. It reminds me a lot of home (Rochester, Minn)., it's close to home... my parents can drive up to games. I've gotten to know a lot of people in a short amount of time around the city and really have enjoyed my time here. And on the hockey side I'm really excited for the future. We have the right people here, especially in the front office and in ownership and the coaching staff as well. I think the future's bright."
What's interesting is how his new deal affects the Jets' depth, especially for the years ahead. The Jets have made long-term commitments to Toby Enstrom, Zach Bogosian and Stuart, have a gem in rookie Jacob Trouba and like the flashes shown by Keaton Ellerby.
But there is also some uncertainty along their blue-line with Grant Clitsome having had back surgery, Adam Pardy an unrestricted free agent as is Zach Redmond.
That means that while there are some names written in ink on the depth chart, there is still room for prospects in St. John's such as Brenden Kichton and Julian Melchiori and 2013 first-round pick Josh Morrissey.
Yes, when it comes to defencemen, another axiom never gets old for NHL GMs -- you can never have too much of a good thing.

Police investigate burglary after call
A radio call on the afternoon of Oct. 22 from the Anoka Police Department has turned Elk River police loose on a burglary case.
The Anoka department asked Elk River to check a business in an attempt to locate information on a vehicle, which was involved in a crash.
The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office reported the owner of the vehicle lived in Zimmerman and stated the vehicle was at the mentioned business getting worked on.
On arrival, Elk River police located the south front entrance door glass to the business smashed out. The building was searched and found to be clear.
The business owner reported the crashed vehicle was stolen from the business and he was also missing $1,700 in cash from a lock box.
There was also a John Deere L111 riding mower with glass on it parked near the window that came from an unknown location. The riding mower was towed to the police department until the owner is located.
Damage done to car in church parking lot
Elk River police took a report of a vehicle being damaged while it was parked at Abiding Savior Church between 3 and 5 p.m. Oct 22.
The owner noticed the next day several small dimples on his hood, windshield and passenger side. The damaged appeared to be from a shotgun. Photographs were taken of the damage.
Landlord reports furnace stolen
A landlord in the 19000 block of Dodge Street in Elk River reported the theft of a furnace Oct. 22. Tenants at the location who had been evicted by the courts are suspected in the alleged theft and damage to property case.
Upset temp poured Pepsi in gas tank
A temporary employee showed up to work in the 10000 block of 175th Avenue in Elk River on the evening of Oct. 19 and when asked to leave, the suspect keyed an employee's vehicle and poured a bottle of Pepsi in the gas tank and left on foot.
Littering spotted, addressed in stop
While working the CRASH/seat belt detail on Oct. 19, an Elk River officer observed two lit cigarettes being thrown out of a vehicle. One came from the driver's side, and the other came from the passenger side of the car as the officer trailed in the eastbound lane of Main Street.
Both the driver and passenger admitted to littering. They said they did it because their vehicle did not have an ash tray. Both driver and passenger were cited for littering.
Gun waving incident resulted in citation
Elk River police took a report of a male waving a gun at someone Oct. 29. The suspect was later located and admitted he held up an Airsoft pistol after the victim exited his vehicle during a traffic altercation in the area of Freeport Avenue and School Street in Elk River. The male was cited for disorderly conduct.
Threat from Crips being investigated
Elk River police are investigating an Oct. 19 report that a group of individuals claiming to be members of the Crips gang threatened to beat up a local youth. Contact has not yet been made with the suspects.
Canine search results in a few citations
A recent and regular K9 search of Elk River High School resulted in several citations for possession of tobacco, alcohol and drug paraphernalia. The search was conducted on Oct. 19.
Bike stolen from unsecured garage
A complainant reported that someone between 4 p.m. Oct. 15 and 1 p.m. Oct. 16 entered an unsecured garage and stole her son's bike in the 20000 block of York Street in Elk River. The bike is described as a Haro freestyle/BMX-style bike, burnt orange or brownish red in color, black seat and black handle bars, and pegs on the rear axle.

Energy Companies Try Arctic Shipping Shortcut Between Europe and Asia
Northern Sea Route Reduces Costs, Bypasses Fractious Suez Canal Region
Japanese and South Korean energy companies have begun shipping oil products through the Arctic's melting ice—adding credibility to a route that could slash costs while avoiding risks associated with ferrying cargo through the Suez Canal.
The ships are taking the so-called Northern Sea Route, traders and shipbrokers in Singapore said, a shortcut between Asia and Europe along Russia's Arctic Ocean coast. This marks the first time...

'Halloween Hoot' rocks at Washington Square Mall
Parents: Get ready to show off your kids' Halloween costumes.
And kids: Get ready to party the entire weekend.
The Washington Square Mall is having its annual "Halloween Hoot" from noon to 2 p.m. followed by a parade of costumes Saturday, Oct. 30, and trick or treating from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 31.
The events attract many children and their families who are looking to show off costumes on more than one occasion, especially if they worked so hard making them.
Dawn Olson, general manager of the mall, said plenty of activities are planned for Saturday prior to the costume parade.
Ages 4-10 can participate in Pin the Tail on the Black Cat, Pumpkin Plinko, Ghost Bowling, Pumpkin Basketball and the Kooky coloring contest.
Each business at the mall handles a game with help from Boys and Girls Club volunteers.
The Halloween party is free and allows area kids to celebrate the season in a safe and fun environment.
"People are very excited that we're providing this event to them and their families," Olson said.
The Washington Square Mall has been hosting the "Halloween Hoot" every year for more than 15 years, continuing the tradition or offering different games each year.
From little tykes to pre-teens, the parade will showcase creative, sometimes scary, and either purchased or homemade costumes.
"We encourage kids to wear their Halloween costumes and join us for fun games and the parade," Olson said.
Others participating in Halloween by handing out candy to trick-or-treaters are Emmanuel Nursing Home residents.
On Sunday, from 2:30 to 4 p.m., kids can go through the chapel entrance to the lounge area where they'll be greeted by the residents and given candy.

Poverty in the United States is at a 15-year high, according to the Census Bureau. It is expected to get worse. Forty-four million people -- one in seven residents -- are living on less than $10,830 as a single person or $22,050 as a family of four. Households inside major cities experienced a 1.9 percent increase in income, whereas households outside major cities experienced a 1.9 percent decline. Most poverty can be found in the South and West regions in the United States.
How does the Catholic faith take root in places with so few resources? And who develops and sustains the faith in such places?
For over 100 years, the Chicago-based Catholic Church Extension Society has been building faith, inspiring hope and fostering self-sustaining Catholic communities across the United States.
In the early 1900s, a young Michigan priest, Fr. Francis Kelley, took a tour of the Midwestern frontier and discovered destitute priests and churches in severe disrepair. He was impelled to seek permission of the Chicago archbishop to raise funds for such communities.
The Chicago archbishop then applied to the Vatican on Catholic Extension's behalf to become a papal society. This designation created a process, still operational today, whereby the Chicago archbishop, who is the chancellor of the Catholic Extension Society's board of directors, has the authority to recommend to the Vatican a priest to serve as president of the society. The Vatican approves the recommendation; however, no one in an official capacity with the Vatican is designated to play a role in the society's operations or policy decisions.
Donations are used solely in the United States. To date, it has awarded almost $500 million in grants to more than 80 "mission dioceses" that cannot sustain themselves without support. (There are 194 dioceses in the United States.) Fr. Jack Wall of Chicago currently heads the organization.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
"We exist solely to support under-resourced or isolated faith communities in order to help them experience excellence in church life and ministry," said Joseph Boland, the society's senior director of grants management.
"The good news is that in small places the Catholic faith communities are thriving," said Boland.
Most know of the society because it builds churches, and distributes calendars at Christmastime through parishes or by its magazine.
The society relies on the support of some 40,000-50,000 donors. It has $193 million in assets, and in 2009, it provided more than $14 million to mission areas.
In addition to direct donations, the society sells over 3 million calendars a year. The 2011 calendars focus on the saints, vocations, stewardship, and Hispanic churches and saints.
Calendars cost approximately $1 and usually a local sponsor such as a funeral home will underwrite a parish's free distribution of the calendars.
"We are the only seller of calendars who gives 100 percent of the net proceeds directly back to Catholic communities to sustain themselves," said Tom Finnegan, calendar director.
In fiscal year 2009-2010, the Catholic Extension Society awarded $1 million to 59 dioceses and their parishes to increase self-sustainability initiatives.
"The lack of resources creates a vibrant spirit of innovation," said Boland. "Our sustainability program helps to build capacity and capitalize on innovation."
In the Jefferson City, Mo., diocese, a $55,000 three-year grant has allowed a major gifts program and planned-giving program to be created. The grant "allows us to strategically expand our long-term development efforts," said Jane Rutter, director of the diocese's stewardship office. A new quarterly newsletter is mailed to 12,000 donor households and special events are now part of fundraising programs. Over 60 families were invited to become long-term donors and 50 have already agreed to do so.
"We are greatly appreciative to CES for its support," said Rutter.
Some isolated faith communities lack people with expertise in numerous aspects of facilities management. To address this, the Catholic Extension Society partnered with another Chicago-based organization, the Conference for Catholic Facility Management, an organization of professionals working for the Catholic church in matters of real estate, construction and facility management.
Catholic Extension made a $20,000 grant to the Conference for Catholic Facility Management that allowed 17 mission dioceses to attend the organization's recent annual gathering. In return, the conference agreed to waive its annual dues of $200 for these dioceses.
The gathering offered leaders from isolated faith communities the opportunity to meet colleagues with valuable expertise and to attend educational seminars.
"We received wonderful stories of gratitude from the mission dioceses' attendees," said Roger Hughes, executive director of the Conference for Catholic Facility Management. "The feedback was remarkable."
In addition to the annual meeting, the Conference for Catholic Facility Management has created a support group of experts from around the country who have made themselves available to offer technical advice to mission faith communities. Calls to the conference get directed to experts from dioceses like Chicago, New Orleans, and Albany, N.Y.
Many of the 17 mission dioceses have decided to become dues-paying members. Efforts are underway to enable the Conference for Catholic Facility Management to expose more of the 80 mission dioceses to its work.

La Puerta Negra Tequila, Our Drink of the Week
Laila Derakhshanian
Cinco de Mayo kicks off summer party season; when you have fifty people coming over for margaritas, chips and guacamole, you're not going to use some expensive, $30 a bottle tequila. It'll bust the party budget quick.
Don't resort to Cuervo Gold, though. It might be seven bucks a fifth, but it's only 51 percent agave, which leaves open the question of what the other 49 percent might be. (We have our theories, but we won't put them in print.) Any college student can tell you that drinking sweetened, adulterated tequila is the quickest way to spend Seis de Mayo with the world's most agonizing hangover.
No, splurge just a little bit and spend $14 on La Puerta Negra. The distillery that makes it, Destilería Santa Lucía, makes a bunch of low-end "licores de tequila"--alcohol with so little agave that it can't legally be called tequila--and a dozen private labels, including one that comes in a can. (Any Canadian readers want to send us a can of La Gavilana?)

La Puerta Negra, though, is pure stuff, 100 percent agave, and it's the best value in tequila. It's also great in margaritas: while margaritas are traditionally made with tequila blanco (unaged tequila), the reposado makes better margaritas.
Start with a real margarita before you go for the bottle of neon green mix and the blender: shake together two ounces of La Puerta Negra tequila reposado, one ounce of orange liqueur (Cointreau, triple sec, curaçao, Grand Marnier, or Gran Gala), and one ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice. Taste it; if it's too sour, add a little bit of simple syrup and re-shake briefly. Strain and serve up, with or without a salted rim.
You can even have a few without the awful morning after.

KAI TAK / Redevelopment Master Plan
de Tejido Group Studio & Dr. Mark Frederickson / CAPLA / University of Arizona
Acerca del libro
In the summer of 2013, the Tejido Group from the University of Arizona / CAPLA assembled a group of volunteer students from both Schools of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to develop an urban redevelopment master plan for the former International airport of Hong Kong - KAI TAK in East Kowloon Harbor. The project illustrated a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort among our faculty and students from the University of Arizona. Our design team was graciously hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong throughout the four week duration of the project. CUHK faculty and students assisted us greatly in adapting to, and in better understanding the many complex social, economic and environmental issues confronting us in this fascinating project. With strong support from CUHK and their School of Architecture, the students, professors, and all others involved experienced unique design challenges resulting in experiences which fostered both academic and personal growth. This urban redevelopment project for KAI TAK has evolved into an attempt to develop a multi-pronged approach to the revitalization and conservation of the wonderfully complex urban and natural environment in need of open space, environmental remediation and an array of urban functions - housing, commercial and recreational. We sincerely hope that this "sustainable urban development prototype" may assist the East Kowloon area of Hong Kong in it's revitalization efforts. The area has immense potential. With very special thanks to CUHK and our gracious host Patrick Hwang we offer the following as a brief summary of the design and planning outcomes resulting from this summer's odyssey in Hong Kong.

Angels love Greinke, but Shields may be more realistic
The Angels remain involved on all of the Big 3 starting pitchers on the July trade market. They love Zack Greinke, but a deal for James Shields may be more realistic. Josh Johnson seems to be a lesser possibility.
The Angels continue to chase high-end starting pitching, and continue to be involved with all of the Big 3 starters on the market: Zack Greinke, James Shields and Josh Johnson.
Greinke might be the one they like the most, and they dream of the idea of putting him in a playoff rotation with Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Dan Haren. Shields might be the one who is their most realistic target.
"They'd be very happy to end up with Shields," said one source who has knowledge of the Angels plans.
The Angels aren't sure that their prospects match up well with those of the other teams pursuing Greinke. They also worry about the cost of signing Greinke long-term, considering that he has already turned down more than $100 million from the Brewers, and considering that the Angels already have two starters (Weaver and Wilson) who will average nearly $20 million apiece over the next four seasons.
Shields, by contrast, would come with a relatively affordable $9 million option for next season.
In any case, the Angels would prefer to obtain a pitcher they can keep beyond this season. They have a $15.5 million option on Haren for 2013, and a $13 million option on Ervin Santana.
They're certain to decline the option on the disappointing Santana. In a perfect world, they'd find someone to take both Santana and surplus outfielder Vernon Wells off their hands right now, even though it would obviously require eating almost all of both salaries.
Besides Greinke and Shields, the Angels also like Johnson, but have concerns about his health history and about the cost of his $13.75 million contract for next year. Also, the Marlins have made it clear that they want "a Teixeira-like" package of prospects for Johnson, and that's something the Angels would have a hard time assembling.
Pitcher Garrett Richards and outfielder Peter Bourjos are the Angels' two biggest trade chips, but dealing one or both of them poses some problems. The Angels view Richards as the affordable counterweight in what will be an otherwise very expensive rotation.
The Angels had interest earlier in Francisco Liriano, but that interest appears to have cooled dramatically.

Sims has not disclosed the financial terms of the transaction, but says the purchase price is not material to the company.
"CMRS is a good strategic fit for our Queensland metal recycling business due to its diverse geographic footprint and strong local capability," Sims Australia managing director Darron McGree said.
CMRS operates a network of eight yards in three locations in Brisbane and five regional centres in Townsville, Cairns, Toowoomba, Gladstone and the Sunshine Coast.
CMRS collects approximately 75,000 tonnes of ferrous scrap and 7,000 tonnes of non-ferrous scrap per annum.

Gramatica Kicks Way Into Hall of Fame
With the KSU Stadium scoreboard clock at the north end of the field racing to zeroes at the end of the first half, and with Kansas State leading Northern Illinois, 56-7, coach Bill Snyder abruptly called a timeout.
"James (Garcia) came running toward me saying, 'We're going to try it!' " said Gramatica, who already had field goal makes of 46 and 37 yards in the first half. "Honestly, with the score the way it was, I wasn't paying too much attention. I'm not even sure my shoes were tied."
With Brandon Knowles serving as long-snapper, Garcia as the holder, and Gramatica as the kicker, the K-State trio produced the longest field goal without using a tee in college football history ... 65 yards!
"I didn't even know how far it was when I went out there, but I knew it was far and I would have to hit it solid to get it there," said Gramatica, who by the end of the day scored 16 points - three field goals and seven extra points - for a single-game record in the eventual 73-7 victory.
The kick was long; the kick was on-line; the kick cleared the crossbar with ease.
Looking back, Gramatica said, "I wasn't sure how far it cleared it. All I was trying for was 65 yards and one inch."
That three-point kick helped propel Gramatica to runner-up status for the Lou Groza Award, one year after winning the most prestigious of kicking honors in 1997.
In Gramatica's mind, he adds, "I still thank Coach Snyder for calling that time out to give me a chance. That kick made me the highest drafted kicker in the NFL Draft (3rd round). I owe my pro career to him, my holder and my long-snapper."
In 1997, Gramatica connected on an astounding 19-of-20 field goals; in 1998 "Automatica" was 22-of-31. For his K-State career, his 22 field goals are tied with Brooks Rossman for a single season, and for a career, his 54 makes are a K-State record by a whopping 17 field goals.
Combine all of those numbers and it equals to State of Kansas Hall of Fame status with Gramatica's induction coming on Oct. 6 in Wichita. Also in the Class of 2013 will be former Wildcat women's basketball mega-star Nicole Ohlde.
Laughing at the honor, Gramatica said, "That's very humbling. As a kicker you never expect to be in any Hall of Fame. When I got the call I was more shocked than excited. To be in a Hall of Fame with Bill Snyder and Barry Sanders ... you just think, 'No way!' "
Gramatica added, "I still carry so much of Coach Snyder with me today. He treated everyone with such respect and he expected the best out of everybody. He was there to make people better. As a dad today, you try to raise your kids to make them be the best they can be like Coach Snyder did with each of his players."
With wife Ashlee, the Gramaticas today live in Tampa, Fla., with their children Nico (7), Gaston (5) and Emme (20 months).
"Gaston has already told me he's committed to K-State, so I hope Coach Snyder will still be there (2026)," laughed Gramatica. "Nico has been brainwashed with all the Florida Gator stuff down here. (Laughing) I guess they all can't be perfect."
It's a good bet that Snyder, or whomever the coach might be, will take Gaston just because of the Gramatica name. Martin's brothers Bill and Santiago both kicked for the University of South Florida, with Bill later joining his older brother in the NFL.
Playing for Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Dallas and New Orleans from 1999 to 2008, Gramatica kicked 155 field goals. He was a member of the Pro Bowl team in 2000 and the kicker for the XXXVII Super Bowl Champion Buccaneers in 2002.
It's all quite a story for someone who favored kicking a round soccer ball as a kid, but only changed to the oblong ball when in high school.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gramatica came to the United States with his family at the age of nine. In time, he finally switched to kicking footballs as a senior at La Salle High School, where he hit a 52-yarder and was 8-of-10 on field goals.
Still, it wasn't until the summer months of 1994 that assistant coach Jim Leavitt finally located Gramatica and signed him on to replace Tate Wright as K-State's kicker.
"I came from a small town (La Salle) in Florida that Coach Leavitt would drive through on recruiting trips, but never had a reason to stop there," said Gramatica. "I was working out in Naples where someone told him (Leavitt) about me. They flew me to Manhattan, I showed them my tape, and it worked out to a scholarship."
While Gramatica had no offers from any school in Florida, he did have an offer from Notre Dame.
Laughing at the memory, "I really wasn't into football at all, so I didn't know much about Notre Dame's tradition. I didn't know what Notre Dame meant."

Jordan Free of Foot-and-Mouth Disease
Jordan is free of the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease, an official at the agriculture ministry was quoted as saying Sunday by the Jordan Times newspaper.
The outbreak of the disease in the United Kingdom, coming on the heels of the latest mad cow scare, has again badly damaged the British livestock sector with great financial loss.
"We are in a constant contact with all veterinary centers and not a single case was reported up to date," said the official.
All centers, he added, are linked with the ministry by Internet allowing for immediate notification.
The Jordanian government already has imposed a ban in place on the import of live cattle, beef and beef products from almost all of Europe because of mad cow disease, again detected in Britain and other European countries late last year, said the paper.
Several cases were found in Turkey and Iran, but both countries said that authorities managed to control the spread of the disease – Albawaba.com

Releases Top 10 Trends In Project Management
Arlington, VA – January 6, 2014 - ESI International, the world's leading project management training company, today announced the release of its top 10 trends in project management for 2014. The 2014 trends reveal that project managers are in increasingly high demand, and are being asked to lead rather than simply manage their teams. Further, the trends highlight the changing nature of project management, as organizations strive for competitive advantage.
"This year's trends highlight the growing unease with the status quo of current project management practices," said J. LeRoy Ward, PMP, PgMP, CSM, Executive Vice President, ESI International. "Past failures to improve project efficiencies force the need to 'pull out all of the stops' to deal with project complexity, implement new project management approaches, and adopt alternative leadership styles to improve project success for greater competitive advantage. In-demand project managers and leaders seem ready to face the challenge."
ESI's top 10 trends for project management include:
1. Agile expands in Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong.
2. Portfolio management continues to take center stage with PMI's new credential.
3. Whether they like it or not, project managers are learning to learn through virtual learning.
4. EPC companies admit they didn't invent project management and seek professional help.
5. Think implementing one PPM tool was hard? Companies now need two!
6. Servant leadership makes a comeback, and not just in Agile.
7. Benchmarking takes on greater urgency as competition heats up.
8. Organizations, dissatisfied with their project management performance, will radically change their approaches to get back on track.
9. Even with high unemployment globally, key project management jobs will remain hard to fill.
10. Project and program managers will be asked to spend more time "leading" rather than "managing" their teams.
"We see the difficulty in filling key, strategic project-focused roles, and what is expected of them once they're hired," said Ward. "Organizations are weary of projects that are over budget and late. So, they're looking to their project leaders to make the changes needed to repeatedly meet project milestones and achieve expected outcomes."
ESI's top 10 trends in project management is put together annually by ESI senior executives and subject matter experts.
In conjunction with the release of the trends, ESI has released a top 10 trends in project management video. This video offers a discussion of the trends, including original insight and information about the trends and their impact on projects.

- "I can use the info about staging rooms, so higher offers will be received....The instructor was very willing to help and very fast in responding to my questions. She was very knowledgeable also." -- Joyce C.
- "I really like the staging section, and I found the tips for showing your house with little time (an hour notice), extremely helpful, and used many of these in those situations. Most important tip was cutting branches & leaves from your backyard when you don't have time to run to the store to buy flowers; I almost liked it better, turned out great and only took a minute....I was very pleased with the instructor. She was always available, always had time to answer my questions, and found her own experiences with selling her home very helpful." -- Fran M.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hi Toby, can we clairfy when the noise occurs? With the car stationary, can you push down on the front end and hear the noise as the suspension goes up and down? If not, you can probably rule out bushings.
Does the noise change as the car goes faster? How about turning left or right?
Hi Rex
The noise seems to disappear the faster you go. As you slow down it makes the sound longer. The noise is not there when you push up and down on the front end. The noise is there when you turn in either direction.
Did the noise start occurring after any repairs? Or did it just show up one day while driving?
The noise started first. It was when I tried to figure it out that I noticed the front pads were getting low. I replaced the pads and rotors hoping it would cure the problem, but it didn't. I have never heard a sound like this before so I'm at a loss and so is the shop where we took it to be diagnosed.
Toby, there is a bulletin for this car regarding a similar noise due the wheel making slight contact with the caliper. You would not notice it by spinning the wheel because there is no weight on the wheel. It sometimes gets louder while turning as the wheel flexes.
Can you remove the wheel and inspect the inner wheel area and caliper for signs of contact?
When I had the wheel off the replace the brakes I didnt see anything (like a shiny spot) on the wheel or the caliper.Since the car is 12 years old with the usual amount of accumulated grime I thiknk that would be obvious. Also, it doesn't only happen when turning. the wheels can be straight and the noise is still there.
Just so you know, I really appreciate your help.
Toby, I'm glad to see you inspected the wheel and caliper. Can you also confirm the rotor splash shield is clear of the rotor? I'm assuming you checked the tire for unusual wear or a 'flat spot'?
You seem pretty knowledgeable, you say it sounds 'squishy'. Like a rubber squeak? Or more metallic like the shield rubbing.
Rex- Yes, it sounds like a wet rubber "squish" . This car doesn't have a splash shield for the rotor. It's not a metallic grinding sound or a ssshh sound like if the rotor was warped. I've never heard anything like it before. I had thought maybe it was something in the transaxle or boots around the CV joints. I've never encountered this on my own '98 Saturn so I just don't know what happens when these parts go bad. Or maybe something is in the transmission on this side of the car that would make this kind of noise? I'm only knowledgeable of the things I've fixed on my own cars over the past 30 years. But this one has stumped the band!
Toby, do you have access to a vehicle hoist? The next step is to get it up in the air so we can run it in drive while looking under the car. Jackstands are not safe for this and they don't allow enough clearance to observe and listen. Maybe the shop you took it to would agree to put it in the air just to listen?
Sorry to say I don't have a hoist. I'll need to ask the shop if they can try this.
I have to sign off for for now.
Thanks for your input, hope to talk t you again.
Okay, I'll wait for your reply.

Jason Baldwin and Kyle LeDuc crowned new champions in Pro-4 and Pro-Lite, Scott Taylor earns sixth consecutive Pro-2 title.
New Berlin, NY (September 19, 2004)-What better way to end the 2004 CORR Lucas Oil Pro Series season than by deciding all three Pro division championships in the final two rounds of competition. That was the scenario here this weekend as Pro-4, Pro-2, and Pro-Lite divisions went right down to the wire with the top teams locked in the closest points battles in CORR history.
And there was no better stage for the drama to unfold on than the legendary Unadilla Motorsports Complex in New Berlin, New York. Unadilla's 35-year history of hosting world-class motocross races was evident when even heavy rains from hurricane Ivan didn't faze the seasoned track crew. By race time on Saturday, the beautiful natural terrain track was in top form.
The Pro-Lite championship was the first to be decided. The Nissan Frontier of Art Schmitt jumped out to an early lead in Round 13, but it wasn't long before Kyle LeDuc, Rick Huseman and Chad Hord were putting pressure on Schmitt. The young LeDuc was a man on a mission and was able to lead it to the checkers, with Huseman second, Hord third, and Mark Krueger finishing in forth. Art Schmitt was out of the race at the halfway point after an unfortunate rollover.
Twenty points from the Round 13 win was enough to lockup the 2004 Pro-Lite championship for Kyle LeDuc and the Skyjacker Ford Ranger team.
Though the championship had been decided, Rick Huseman proved he deserved the number two place on the Pro-Lite championship race with a flag-to-flag win in Round 14. Though pressed hard by LeDuc in the closing laps, Huseman hung on to win the final Pro-Lite race of the season. Steve Federico finished behind LeDuc in third, Art Schmitt was forth, and Mark Krueger fifth.
The official Pro-Lite point standings have Kyle LeDuc as champion with 199 points, Rick Huseman in the number two spot with 174 points, Chad Hord in third with 164 points, Steve Federico forth with 149 points, and Art Schmitt just five points back in fifth with 144 points.
Perhaps the most dominant performance of the weekend came from Carl Renezeder in the Lucas Oil Chevrolet(s). Renezeder won both Pro-2 and Pro- 4 in Saturday Round 13 action, and was able to notch his third Pro-2 win of the season with another victory in Round 14 on Sunday.
Evan Evans had a shot at the Pro-2 title coming into the weekend and posted a strong second place finish in Round 13 of competition. Evans gained momentum late in the season with four consecutive first place finishes in both rounds at Topeka and Bark River.
The door was still open for Evans in the final Round of racing, but only a crack. To win the championship, Evans had to win on Sunday, and reigning champ Scott Taylor had to finish ninth. Though some thought Taylor might lay back in the final Pro-4 race of the season and coast to the championship, he showed why he has been so successful in the division powering to a strong second place finish. Evans finished Round 14 in third behind Renezeder and Taylor, followed by an impressive showing by Larry Gourlie in the U.S. Marines Chevrolet.
In 2004 Pro-2 season points standings, Scott Taylor and the Skyjacker Ford finished first with 212 points, Evan Evans was second with 196, Carl Renezder finished third with 193 points, Dan Vanden Heuvel finished forth with 169 points, followed by Kevin Probst in fifth with 157 points.
The Pro-4 points battle was the tightest of all three Pro divisions coming into New York with reigning champion Carl Renezeder and brother-in-law Jason Baldwin separated by only one point. Saturday's Round 13 didn't shuffle the deck very much; when Baldwin finished in second behind Renezeder making the point spread just five points.
Sunday's final delivered more excitement than some competitors bargained for with two roll-overs and thrilling finish. Starting on the outside of row two, Scott Douglas in the Rancho Ford took command of the race on lap one and ran in first until three corners from checkered flag.
In the final laps of Round 14, Jason Baldwin closed on Douglas driving deep into the corners, but was unable to make the passes stick when Douglas kept his cool, stayed on the race line and pull away out of the corners. In addition to Douglas and Baldwin, the lead pack included Renezeder and Johnny Greaves. In the 180-degree turn at the bottom of the Kumho jump hill, just three corners from the finish line, Douglas broke a front CV joint and spun. Baldwin went by on the outside, followed by Renezeder and Greaves. Contact between Greaves and Renezder going back up the hill sent Renezeder into a violent roll.
Jason Baldwin won Round 14 and his first Pro-4 championship accumulating 214 points. Season Pro-4 points standing have Carl Renezeder in second with 207 points, Scott Douglas in third with 180 points, Curt LeDuc in forth with 171 points, and Johnny Greaves fifth with 167 points.
All the 2004 CORR Lucas Oil Series champions will be honored at the annual Champion's Banquet and Award ceremony November 6, 2004 at the KI Convention Center and Regency Suites Hotel in Green Bay, WI.

Water is an important resource, and protecting and using it responsibly is an industry priority. Comprehensive government regulations and industry operating practices are in place to ensure protection of the environment and public safety.
At Canadian Natural we balance our operational needs for water with the need to maintain the quality and quantity of this resource for future generations. It is important that we continue to find ways to increase water use efficiency across all our business units.
The foundation of our water management strategy is to minimize our impact on water resources by reducing fresh water use, increasing water recycling and, where possible, using non-potable brackish (saline) water instead of fresh water. We plan and design our operations to minimize fresh water use, monitor and track water usage and disposal, as well as measure the amount of water recycled, processed and stored.
In projects where groundwater is utilized, we monitor groundwater levels both locally (at source of production) and regionally. Data collection and monitoring allow Canadian Natural to better manage and detect any deviations from standard groundwater quality or levels as well as help us understand any regional impacts our operations have on shallow groundwater.

Purported Working Class Heroes Ed Schultz, John Nichols Sneer at Working Class
Imagine different lines of work for Mitt Romney and other Republicans, Ed Schultz asked his radio show guests and listeners on Friday.
The responses spoke volumes about Schultz, his guests and listeners. (audio clips after page break)
Here is what John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation, offered as a possibility (audio) --
NICHOLS: It's sort of like, Scott Walker looks like the assistant manager at a Wal-Mart. You know, everybody's got their place, everybody's got their role.
SCHULTZ (gleefully): Assistant manager at Wal-Mart?!
NICHOLS: I think so. Not the full scale, but the number two ...
SCHULTZ: Oh no, no, no! Scott Walker looks, you're right, you're right. You know what? And I can tell you exactly where Walker would be engaged.
NICHOLS: Uh huh.
SCHULTZ: Uh, you're at Wal-Mart and you're checking out. And you got, all of a sudden, the till screws up.
NICHOLS: Right.
SCHULTZ: And, uh, the checkout clerk gets on the phone and, either over the loudspeaker or somebody in the back room, and then here comes Scott Walker with his, with his Wal-Mart vest on, he's running up to the cashier to get it to work.
NICHOLS: And he's got some kind of key attached to his belt.
SCHULTZ: Yeah. Oh, he's got keys all over his belt! He's got keys hanging all over him everywhere! He's got, he's got his pad up in his shirt pocket, you know.
NICHOLS: And he's got something on his belt that somehow makes the cash register work.
SCHULTZ: Yeah. Yeah, he pulls it out and he does it.
NICHOLS: That's right and, you know, he's in charge. Well not, not in charge like he could actually make a decision, but you know, very much, it kind of fits the role. Because he's a guy who can carry things out but he does have to check with somebody higher up if he's going to do anything big.
A man doing his job ... what a loser! Not only that, he works for ... the largest employer in America! And if assistant manager at Wal-Mart epitomizes loser to Schultz and Nichols, safe to say they see those subordinate to the assistant manager as ... even bigger losers!
Not incidentally, have more than several minutes passed since you last heard Schultz and Nichols express their deep abiding concern for "average" Americans, "working" Americans, "working families," etc.?
Strange though this will sound to Schultz, I actually feel grateful toward that harried assistant manager who dutifully fixes a cash register so I don't have to wait in line any longer than necessary.
Then there's Schultz's odd disparagement of the worker with keys "hanging all over him everywhere!" In other words, someone trustworthy. That's why he has so many keys. He's not going to steal from you.
Later in the show, Schultz suggested this about Rick Santorum (audio) --
SCHULTZ: Santorum appears to me to be a guy that would come up to me in a hardware store.
CALLER (laughs): You know, Ed, more seriously though ...
SCHULTZ: I'm looking for some, for some enamel back in the paint section and Rick Santorum comes up to me.
The guy who works at the hardware store asking if you need help -- to which Schultz again responds -- loser!
John Lennon could see Schultz coming when he sang, "As soon as you're born they make you feel small ..."
Another of Schultz's radio guests on Friday, Democrat congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio, suggested this (audio) --
Well, it comes off the top of my head, it comes as a halfway decent golfer on the PGA tour.
Insult -- or unintentional candor? As coincidence would have it, Schultz's son Dave is a professional golfer.

Using what I have
A few weekends ago, I spent the better part of two days going through all my clothes. I opened and sorted through every piece of wearable fabric I own. What a huge job, but a real success.
I had just tons of clothes, but felt like I had nothing to wear. Every morning it was a depressing face-off between me and the closet and the closet normally won. I'm about the heaviest I have ever been (which is a whole 'nother topic) and also a pack rat. Finding an outfit each morning entailed looking at all the stuff I couldn't wear or didn't like. It is a poor way to start out the day.
So starting with my sock drawer (the easiest) I looked at everything. If something was worn out, dated or unappealing I put it in either the garbage or donate piles. What a mountain of clothes for Goodwill --- 5 lawnbags full. I also made a pile of "love it, but too small" that I've stored away for a while. This stored selection maybe a problem in the future, but I just couldn't bear to get rid of some of those items-- I really intend to lose some weight.
Mornings run smoother now that I can easily look at what is available in the closet. Everything fits me and is arranged by color, just like all those professional organizers recommend. I feel like I have new clothes because I found some great things hiding in the drawers.
I learned one thing the closet adventure which can be applied to the "use what I have" project. You have to know what you have before you really can use it.
Labels: Clothes, Goodwill Industries, use what I have

St. Martin and St. Maarten Sights
The best way to explore St. Maarten/St. Martin is by car. Though often congested, especially around Philipsburg and Marigot, the roads are fairly good, though narrow and winding, with some speed bumps, potholes, roundabouts, and an occasional wandering goat herd. Few roads are marked with their names, but destination signs are common. Besides, the island is so small that it's hard to get really
lost—at least that is what locals tell you.
If you're spending a few days, get to know the area with a scenic loop around the island. Be sure to pack a towel and some water shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock. Head up the east shoreline from Philipsburg, and follow the signs to Dawn Beach and Oyster Pond. The road winds past soaring hills, turquoise waters, quaint West Indian houses, and wonderful views of St. Barth. As you cross over to the French side, turn into Le Galion for a stop at the calm sheltered beach, the stables, the butterflies, or the windsurfing school; then keep following the road toward Orient Bay, the St-Tropez of the Caribbean. Continue to Anse Marcel, Grand Case, Marigot, and Sandy Ground. From Marigot, the flat island of Anguilla is visible. Completing the loop brings you past Cupecoy Beach, through Maho and Simpson Bay, where Saba looms in the horizon, and back over the mountain road into Philipsburg.

- How to Read a Study Record
It has been shown that diffuse luminance flicker increases retinal and optic nerve head blood flow. This indicates that a neuro-vascular coupling between neural activity and blood flow exists in the retina as described previously for the brain. Although a lot of mediators such as NO, pO2, pCO2, H+ and K+ have been proposed, the mechanism of this coupling is still a matter of controversy. However, it has been shown in an animal experiment, that an increase in blood flow, evoked by diffuse luminance flicker stimulation is paralleled by decrease in pO2 in the tissue. In a recently performed study we could show that breathing of 100% O2 did not influence flicker induced changes in the retina and optic nerve head. However, breathing of 100% oxygen also leads to a pronounced vasoconstriction of the retinal vessels and in turn to a increased tension of the vessel wall. Recent evidence indicates that a combination of 92% O2 and 8% CO2 can, at least partially, counteract the vasoconstrictory effect of O2 and increases tissue pO2. Thus, in this study the investigators set out to investigate the flicker light induced increase in blood flow under a mixture of O2/CO2 .

This is a very good Bourbon. In my opinion, way better then the more commonly found Makers Mark or Makers 46. It's only available in certain states though. I can't find it in Michigan and have to order it through online liquor stores. Price goes up with delivery, but at $25 a bottle, then say about $10-12 for deliver, it's still better then many $40-45 wheat bourbons.
Think you know the booze?
Let's start with some basics.

Israeli occupation authorities halt entry of West Bankers to 1948 occupied Palestine
Palestine Information Center – 13/01/2013
AL-KHALIL — The Israeli occupation authorities have stopped issuing permits for Palestinian West Bankers to enter occupied Jerusalem or 1948 occupied Palestine, sources in the Palestinian liaison office said Saturday.
They noted that no permits were issued for more than a month except for patients, adding that the ban started after the UN accepted Palestine as a non-member observer state.
An official at the chamber of commerce and industry in Al-Khalil affirmed the news saying that 1800 permits were tabled with the Israeli civil administration but no response was made to any of them.
He said that the arbitrary measure obstructed economic and commercial life for the Palestinians, adding that officials at the Israeli administration told them that the reason was the admission of Palestine at the UN.

Nearly one full month of baseball has been played and Albert Pujols is still looking for his first home run. "I don't try to hit home runs," Pujols said this weekend. "I know I can hit home runs. Whenever they come, they're going to come. I'm trying to have good, quality at-bats. "I'll leave you guys (to) play the little game about how many at-bats I have without hitting a home run. It's part of the game. I don't care about that. It's a long season. At the end, my numbers are going to be there and nobody's going to talk about what happened in April." Pujols has just four RBI this season and is slugging below .300.
