Perez impresses, still may need more time
ARLINGTON -- Martin Perez was impressive in his fourth start since coming off the disabled list. Perez threw seven scoreless innings in Triple-A Round Rock's 6-0 victory over Reno on Tuesday night. He allowed three hits, did not walk a batter and struck out seven. He threw 77 pitches.
Perez missed two months with a broken left arm and the Rangers would like to give him more time before considering him as an option at the Major League level. But he is one of several under consideration to pitch the second game of a doubleheader against the Diamondbacks on Monday in Arizona. The Rangers could also stay with Ross Wolf, who earned the win on Wednesday against the Athletics, or they could recall Josh Lindblom from Round Rock.
The spot is open because Alexi Ogando is on the disabled list with triceps tendinitis and has not yet progressed beyond playing catch. He is not expected back before the first week of June.
The Rangers also had to scramble because Nick Tepesch was pushed back from Wednesday's start because of a blister on the middle finger of his right hand. The Rangers are still hoping Tepesch can pitch Sunday against the Mariners.
That would allow them to give Yu Darvish an extra day of rest. The Rangers are planning on pitching him in Game 1 of the doubleheader against Arizona.

A WINCHESTER student and Paralympian has won a prestigious award.
Adam Knott, who studies at Peter Symonds College, is joint-winner of the Association of College's (AoC) Student of the Year Award.
It caps off a memorable year for Adam, who is visually impaired, after he represented Great Britain in Goalball in the London games.
The competition celebrates outstanding achievement while winners must also have made a significant contribution to their college or community.
Adam, 17, of Chandler's Ford, said: "It is amazing. This event is absolutely enormous and positive. To be joint winner is brilliant. I wasn't aware that my college had put me forward, so it was a shock when I found out.
"I was competing in Italy and I got a call from my mum, who said my tutor wanted to talk to me. I was a little bit worried for a moment."
His tutor Rachel Platt said: "Adam has performed at the highest possible sporting level for his country. He was the leading scorer for the team and he has been a superb Ambassador for the sport.
"He kept up with all his academic work at college and he is also a very high-achieving musician."
Principal Neil Hopkins added the college was proud of Adam.
Adam's fellow winner was Adam Gemili, a sprinter who studied at Barking and Dagenham College.

Kids need vitamin D for stronger bones, better blood pressure, lower cholesterol, healthier hearts, and normal metabolism, and are often deficient, two new studies reveal.
In a vitamin D and heart health study, researchers measured vitamin D levels and factors for cardiovascular problems in a nationally representative group of about 6,300 children, aged one to 21. About 9 percent of the kids—8 million—were deficient in vitamin D and 61 percent—51 million—had too little vitamin D, equaling 70 percent of all kids.
Vitamin D was most often low in kids who were older, female, obese, African- or Mexican-American, who drank milk less than once per week, or who watched TV, played video games or used computers for more than four hours per day. Doctors said the findings mean these children are more likely to develop high blood pressure and heart disease later in life.
Kids with low or deficient vitamin D had signs of weaker bones, higher blood pressure, lower calcium levels and lower levels of HDL, the good cholesterol—all key factors in heart disease, doctors said. While kids in the study who took vitamin D supplements, usually 400 IU per day, were more likely to have adequate vitamin D levels, only 4 percent overall took supplements. "We expected the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency would be high, but the magnitude of the problem nationwide was shocking," study authors said.
In a related study, doctors measured vitamin D and heart disease factors in about 3,600 non-pregnant adolescents without diagnosed diabetes. African-American children had insufficient vitamin D levels on average, followed by Mexican-Americans, whose levels were barely sufficient. Caucasian kids had low but adequate levels. Kids with the lowest vitamin D levels were most likely to have high blood pressure, high blood sugar and low HDL, and were about four times as likely to have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is most commonly associated with age and includes an oversize waist, high blood sugar and pressure, and more bad fats and fewer good fats in the diets and blood. These factors combined increase the risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

The Day Ahead: How to Gain Entry to Club Doom
I've been feeling the pressure lately, but that zone is where the best work tends to come from -- those periods when you don't know how much is left in the tank and decide to forge ahead regardless.
In any case, this mental state comes right on time -- just as everyone wants to snag respect for projecting the imminent demise of jumping risk assets. Some toss around Bloomberg charts with fancy odd-shaped circles highlighting some prior major climax in equity demand, while others choose to stay married to S&P 500 projections that continue to mean the rally is passing them by.

Thinking about picking up a new Ninja 250r for a first bike. Although I really want a cruiser - its hard to find one in the styling I want on a small budget.
I really love the looks of the current model boulevards though. Used they run about 6-9k I believe.

Apply! If they offer you a salary that doesn't meet your expectations, you can always refuse (of course, it pays to remember that Portland is cheaper than many major cities.)
On a web site, that means that if I have to pretend to order something to even find the price, I just go back to the search page and on to the next web site.
Since I'm not particularly looking for a job, I'm not going to a lot of bother to see whether has any chance of paying enough to to make me put a resume together and or eve
To be quite honest, I agree with you completely. If I am looking for a job, I'm far more interested in those who are willing to say up front what they'll pay. However, I've no authority to post a salary range (I wish I did.)

Topic: Increased CA 19-9
Today was time for bloodwork. My CA 19-9(Cholangiocarcinoma tumor marker) increased from 26 to 38, the normal range is up to 36. This is disappointing but I am so thankful to God that the increase is slight. I will have bloodwork again in 4 weeks and if there is another increase, we will move pet/cat scan up ASAP. Keep sending the prayers, they work.

Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepares to face her harsh, judgmental older sister. It is the first time they have been together in more than two decades. Over the course of a hot Pacific Northwest summer, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family.
Tender, funny, bittersweet, and wonderfully moving, Between Sisters celebrates the joys and heartaches that can be shared only by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love, and the healing power of new beginnings - all beautifully told by acclaimed author Kristin Hannah.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"I wish I had a sister!"
This is beautiful story. Although the plot was fairly predictable the characters were real and there was nothing boring about this book. Read with feeling and thoroughly enjoyable.
Loved it! Sisters are beautiful just like this book! Wonderfully narrated. Highly recommended.
"Loved it"
Great narrator and story line.
Loved the entire book.
This is the first time I have listened to Laural.
This book takes you from laughing to crying and back to laughing.
I didn't want this story to end.
"Keep a tissue handy"
Book was a good listen, but it had me in tears a number of times. Hannah did a good job of evoking the complicated emotions that arise in troubled families. I really enjoyed it.
The narrator did a fantastic job bringing this book to life. I've read a couple books by this author and I must say, I really enjoyed this particular novel. There are a couple sentimental and tearful scenes, of course. I thought that the complicated relationship between the sisters was very realistic mainly due to the fact that no relationship is ever perfect. My favorite character throughout the book was Meghan. She is such a strong independent female character. Her view towards men after her divorce was quite harsh, especially after I learned that it was basically her fault the relationship ended in the first place.
What made this novel unique is that it mostly revolved around the relationship of these two sisters, who were born from the same mother, by different fathers, and both ending up living different lives and facing different struggles.
"I loved this audible book."
I did not get the print version.
It had a little laughter, a few tears, a little romance and a story about how the past experiences influences the present life decisions.
Claire and Megan.
Good listening
"Great Book!"
I loved this book as much as I have loved all of Kristin Hannah's books I've read so far, but the narration left something to be desired.
"Between Sisters"
Once again Kristin Hannah has written another wonderful book, but if only the bad language wasn't in there. I wasn't expecting this book to take the turn that it did, but I am glad the sisters came back together.
"Not predictable story line. "
It was surprisingly heartwrenching wanting to keep listening. The best part was that the interaction between the sisters was realistic and not predictable.
A little less man bashing and not so repetitive.
So so predictable. Almost from the start you could see how it was going to end.
Very repetitive, could have cut out half the book and still know where it was going.
"A must read"
A fabulous read , full of emotional twists &turns. anyone with a past and siblings will enjoy this book.

This team isn't that bad, is it?
At what point do they cut their loss with their manager? Eat his contract?
I say Dusty gets fired halfway through next season if it's the same results.
This team isn't that bad, is it?
At what point do they cut their loss with their manager? Eat his contract?
I say Dusty gets fired halfway through next season if it's the same results.
Who's on first?
I think this team could sure stand Firing Dick Pole and the Hitting Instructor, whoever that is...
i think they will stick with dusty, he's proven he can win unlike the other managers who were here, so that will give him more time in my opinion. Also i don't see them being in this same place next year, they should be a very good team next season after these young guys have a year of experience under their belts.
Too long.
And I think this team will stink again next season if they don't set themselves up properly by trading a few expensive players by the deadline.
Dusty Baker is not this teams problem. I have disagreed with a Baker's moves several times this year, but this team is not built to win right now. The Reds have an aging superstar in RF, have used four shortstops, and are loaded with young players who are going to make mistakes. There isn't a manager in the world who would win with these guys -- at least for right now.
I do agree, however, that the Reds need to look for a new hitting coach. When Braden Looper can throw a complete game on 98 pitches in one of the best hitters parks in the league, you know you have a major problem.
Dusty's philosphy is what is killing this team, causing hacking at the plate. I say they stick with him for:
3 years, $10.5 million.
Until he stops batting CF's and SS's 1st and 2nd, regardless of that player's abilities - this lineup will continue to cause great pains to the Offensive Production.
That being said, it appears our biggest issues remain with Pitching and Defense, and nothing DUHsty is doing in that regards is hurting us. However, his insistence on prioritizing Defense over Offense - in Corey Patterson, Paul Janish, etc.. - has a DIRECT correlation to the point above, since those positions are CF and SS. SO, we can't win for losing, literally...
I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008
Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
This team has the potential to be very good. The streaky hitting is a problem obviously but I get the feeling we are on the verge of really putting it together. Dusty has won before. The youth of this team is a bigger problem than anything else right now.
Ron Popeil apologist.
If Jason LaRue can hit a HR against one of your better pitcher, it's time to move on to another pitching coach.
I wouldn't mind maybe putting Bench in there as pitching coach. Or hell, get Pete unsuspended and make him the hitting coach (... in other words, as likely as Bench being the pitching coach).
That Joey Votto is some kind of Man Candy!
"For them to boo me like that, it lets me know they dream about me at night. -- Brandon Phillips on Cards fans.
Dusty's a proven winner, BAY-BEE. There shall be no baseclogging for years to come yet.
There are 162 games in a season. There are going to be many times when a lesser player hits a HR off a better player; hell it happens all the time. Brandan Freakin' Larson popped a monster shot off of Randy Johnson a couple years ago -- should the D'Backs have fired their pitching coach than? And Cueto's extremely young and is a rookie. If you didn't expect him to have his rough patches, you're stuck on cloud nine.
Just because Bench is one of the all time greats doesn't make him a quality pitching coach. Might as well try to sign Sandy Koufax to become our pitching coach with that logic.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
That Joey Votto is some kind of Man Candy!
"For them to boo me like that, it lets me know they dream about me at night. -- Brandon Phillips on Cards fans.
I guess I'm in the minority here. I say they stick with Dusty. This team is not designed to win NOW. I've said this since the off-season that this year should be about 2 things and 2 things only. Improvement and youth experience. The kids should get a good deal of playing time to get them ready for the bigs. And steady improvement, even moderate improvement, is enough to show me that they're taking steps forward. A few games under .500 is improvement already, despite what some here want to claim. Toss the Reds into the NL west and we'd be in 3rd place. In the AL central...3rd place. The thing that makes it seem so dreadful this year is the constant ups and downs and the fact that the Cubs have the best record in baseball making our current standing look that much worse.
This team is on the right track. Does anybody really think Harang is going to continue to pitch at a 2-9 pace? Does anybody think we'll consistantly have multiple injuries decimating our starting line-up? Does anybody seriously think we won't be a better team next year with the kids being more experienced and with Junior not being a focal point in the lineup and OF defense? When you turn your team towards a youth movement you will flat-out experience higher highs and lower lows. Eratic defense, boneheaded plays on the basepaths, etc. Improvement, that's all we should be looking for right now. First place shouldn't even be in our thought process. It's heading in the right direction. For now, just enjoy watching the kids develop and saying your final farewells to the total package that was Junior Griffey. Despite the standings, it's a great time to be a Reds fan.

"The most complete portrait ever drawn of the complex emotional connection between two of history's towering leaders. Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were the greatest leaders of the Greatest Generation. In [this volume, the author] explores the ... relationship between the two men who piloted the free world to victory in World War II. It was a crucial friendship, and a unique one--a president and a prime minister spending enormous amounts of time together (113 days during the war) and exchanging nearly two thousand messages. Amid cocktails, cigarettes, and cigars, they met, often secretly, in places as far-flung as Washington, Hyde Park, Casablanca, and Teheran, talking to each other of war, politics, the burden of command, their health, their wives, and their children. Born in the nineteenth century and molders of the twentieth and twenty-first, Roosevelt and Churchill had much in common. Sons of the elite, students of history, politicians of the first rank, they savored power. In their own time both men were underestimated, dismissed as arrogant, and faced skeptics and haters in their own nations yet both magnificently rose to the central challenges of the twentieth century. Theirs was a kind of love story, with an emotional Churchill courting an elusive Roosevelt. The British prime minister, who rallied his nation in its darkest hour, standing alone against Adolf Hitler, was always somewhat insecure about his place in FDR's affections which was the way Roosevelt wanted it. A man of secrets, FDR liked to keep people off balance, including his wife, Eleanor, his White House aides and Winston Churchill. Confronting tyranny and terror, Roosevelt and Churchill built a victorious alliance amid cataclysmic events and occasionally conflicting interests. Franklin and Winston is also the story of their marriages and their families, two clans caught up in the most sweeping global conflict in history. [In the volume, he] has written [an] account of the most remarkable friendship of the modern age."--Jacket.

PATIENCE propelled Pale Mimosa (2-1 fav) and jockey Pat Smullen to Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Lonsdale Cup glory at York Racecourse's Welcome To Yorkshire Ebor Festival.
The five-year-old, a winner of the Galtres Stakes at the Ebor Festival two years ago, struck by half a length in the two mile £150,000 Group 2 contest.
Kept up with the pace throughout the early stages as Forgotten Voice set a steady gallop, Smullen resisted the urge to strike for home immediately as the runners entered the home straight.
The duo eventually went clear with just over a furlong remaining and then battled hard to resist the challenge of Estimate, who ranged up strongly after Pale Mimosa had slipped the rest of the pack.
Times Up , the winner of this race two years ago for trainer Ed Dunlop , was back in third spot.
Pale Mimosa's trainer, Dermot Weld, said he could consider the Melbourne Cup as a target but insisted his mare would need some cut in the ground.
Weld said: "She won well at Leopardstown and was here two years ago in the Galtres. They were two very brave fillies fighting it out, her heart was in the right place under a tactical ride.
"The race was run to suit her and Pat had her in the right position throughout.
"The plan was to sit handy and not many others ride a better type of race than Pat. We had no worries about the ground today and it looked a very good renewal."
"We'll see," Weld added on the Melbourne Cup. "The problem is she loves a bit of ease in the ground, and the track here was beautiful.
"We'll think about it, and certainly discuss it in great detail. She's a wonderful staying mare to own."
Smullen, who guided Short Squeeze to victory in the Clipper Logistics Stakes on Wednesday, said: "She's a very good mare when things go right for her. She is not just a stayer, she has a turn of foot as well.
"She doesn't want it very soft but just to have a bit of kindness in it. She is going to be a very good filly for the rest of the year."
Elsewhere on the third day of the Ebor Festival, Absolutely So (6-1 jt-fav) landed the Sky Bet City of York Stakes for rising riding star Oisin Murphy – beating Glory Awaits, trained by Sutton Bank's Kevin Ryan, by a length and a half to take Listed honours in a contest worth £100,000.
And Glenard shrugged off all challengers to take the opening Sky Bet Transfer Stakes. The 12-1 shot, ridden by William Buick, led throughout the mile and a half £50,000 contest and had a neck to spare at the finish over Salutation.

SKOLNICK: Riley needs to put out the fire he started
Ethan J. Skolnick
July 13, 2005
If Pat Riley really did not recognize the flammability of a semi-provocative statement during a slow sports time, at least the Heat president has considerable experience extinguishing such fires.
So why hasn't he?
This is a man so word-conscious that, a decade after saying he "envisioned" a parade, he reminded a reporter that he had never actually "promised" one.
So why hasn't he clearly, definitively, angrily, and -- here's the key -- publicly said that Stan Van Gundy is the Heat coach for the foreseeable future? Why hasn't he listed reasons for that decision, however obvious: Van Gundy winning 101 games with two different rosters and styles, preparing his team exhaustively, rarely slipping against underdogs, and rising within a rib strain and thigh bruise of the NBA Finals? Why was Van Gundy vague about his status Monday? Why did Van Gundy's brother, Jeff, recently say strange things on WFAN, like "Stan deserves an answer" and should be given time to "hook on with another team" if the Heat doesn't want him?
At first, this controversy appeared short on credence. Even after Riley suggested June 17 he might take a more "active participation" while again speaking wistfully of coaching, the frenzied reaction seemed just a time-killing, logic-twisting, mind-numbing media obsession borne of summer boredom. "Active participation," after all, could have simply and innocuously meant serving as a sounding board for players and coaches. As such, you could understand Riley's refusal to grant subsequent sensational inquiries the dignity of thorough on-the-record responses. Further, you could understand why he wouldn't rule out any option, to avoid being accused of breaking his word if unforeseen circumstances someday warranted sideline change.
Mostly, you had to assume Riley had reassured his protégé in private.
Now we're weeks past "at first."
So is this, at last, resolved?
If Van Gundy is vague about his status? If Alonzo Mourning is saying on 760-AM Tuesday that he didn't know who would coach, but that the Heat couldn't go wrong with either?
Shouldn't they be clear, even if we're not?
While Riley's handling has been vexing, the public has responded predictably to the obvious question:
Would it be reasonable and forgivable for Riley to shove his long-time loyalist aside, now that the roster is more attractive than when he quit in October of 2003?
Of course it wouldn't be. It would be ego-driven treachery of the greatest degree. But fans and media usually side with the bigger name, so many have found a convenient rationalization to answer that question affirmatively: "Riley, as team president, must do whatever he deems in the best interests of the franchise."
Yet, why are they so certain it is in the franchise's best interests for Riley to coach?
Could there be wisdom in the current structure, with Riley focusing on supporting and equipping Van Gundy?
Could Van Gundy actually be the better coaching choice for this team at this time?
Yes, he could. Forget the pedigrees and the presentation, and consider that.
Van Gundy lost Game 7 on his home floor. Still, no one called for change when Riley lost deciding games at home in 1998, 1999 and 2000. While those Heat rosters were not as talented, Riley wasn't coaching against defending champions.
Van Gundy has made some curious in-game decisions and does not claim the strategic and motivational expertise of his master mentor. This, however, is about a process, not a single game. The locker room is far looser now, for the better. The young, athletic, quicker-paced players get more rope. Many have questioned why Van Gundy sat Dwyane Wade for the final minute of the 2004 postseason. Ask this instead: would the rookie Wade, with his defensive deficiencies, have played enough under Riley for the Heat to get that far? Would Riley have allowed go-go guards Rafer Alston and Keyon Dooling to fill critical roles? And, with a need for more athleticism in support of Shaquille O'Neal, would Riley be sufficiently patient with Qyntel Woods and Dorell Wright now?
Van Gundy's "pedal to the metal" philosophy can exasperate, such as when Wade gets garbage minutes in winter blowouts of the Clippers. This season, when the Heat clinches its soft division, it would be best if he let O'Neal escape to some remote island, far from stray knees. But who set the organizational agenda? You know who.
Van Gundy, a screamer, could channel more criticism toward his stars (as Spurs coach Gregg Popovich does) rather than role guys such as Udonis Haslem and Rasual Butler. But this controversy has only served to undermine the authority required to do that.
The story, strangely, still breathes, feeds, burns.
Extinguish it, Pat Riley.
Unless you'd rather not.

MUSCATINE, IA – Every chair, workstation, storage unit and table in the current Allsteel portfolio of products has been awarded BIFMA level™ 2 certification, the second highest ranking accorded by the industry organization.
Allsteel had something of a head start on this sustainability benchmark: In 2008, it was among five companies who were the first to achieve SCS Sustainable Choice Gold, the original BIFMA standard prior to level. At that time, Allsteel earned the certification for all of its workstation products.
"Allsteel's determination to design and manufacture workplace solutions that move us toward sustainability has been relentless, and we are proud to have attained the level 2 certifications on everything in the line. It's historic and a gratifying experience to see our hard work pay off for the benefit of the environment and our customers," says Jim Cahill, vice president product development.
In establishing level third-party certification in 2009, BIFMA's goal was to help drive the industry to integrate sustainability into all aspects of its business practices, from the supply chain to the product's eventual recycling and from the board room to the loading dock. The criteria for the certification are defined by the BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard, which provides direction to manufacturers in the areas of materials, energy and atmosphere, human and ecosystem health, and corporate social responsibility.
The comprehensive and rigorous nature of the level 2 accreditation makes the achievement for Allsteel's major product lines all the more impressive. In addition to the individual products, the supply chain, manufacturing site, and corporation also were assessed. The BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard was developed with cross functional representatives from academia, state and federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations, as well as from the industry, and the drafts of their work were published for public review and comment on the web, making the process transparent.
In learning of the latest level 2 certification outcomes just days before NeoCon, Cahill noted, "The timing for this certification couldn't be better. We'll have the opportunity to communicate it to many of our customers in person."

Gazan Doctor Renews Commitment to Forgiveness and Peace after Losing Three Daughters
As we began to drill down on our editorial planning for next month's production trip to Israel and Palestine, Trent asked me to sit down with Izzeldin Abuelaish, a Palestinian physician who has written a new memoir about growing up in the Gaza Strip, his struggles to become a doctor, and the loss of three of his daughters to an Israeli mortar in the hostilities between Hamas and Israel of 2009. I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity is recently published, and he was making a swing through the Twin Cities on book tour.
So I dusted off my rusty interviewing skills, tried to emulate the masterful Krista Tippett with my deep listening, and the 30-minute conversation above ensued.
Abuelaish's story would be heroic in many ways without his personal loss, but is even moreso because, in its wake, he renewed his commitment to forgiveness and acceptance, and now travels the world on a mission for peace in the name of his daughters, for whom he created a foundation.
Let us know what you think about this interview, and share your thoughts on others you'd like to see, in what we hope will be a regular feature here on the blog.

- caring about what works; and
- why individual stocks matter.
Care About What's Working Posted at 7:51 a.m. EDT on Friday, June 14 All rallies are phony. All selloffs are real. Every plus-1% day is manipulated. Every down-1% percent day shows the market's true colors. That's the conventional wisdom, especially these days where the path is set in cement: Stocks must go down and rates go up because all that mattered the whole way up were the actions of the biggest manipulator of all, the Federal Reserve. Take yesterday, for instance. I hate up openings -- those big up openings on nothing but good foreign news. But down openings where everyone sees the gloom and the gloom only, those are made for reversals and that's just what we got.
Once the market reversed, Ben Bernanke picked that moment to have a conversation with his go-to guy, John Hilsenrath, in what was a master stroke moment where the bears were busy betting against the big, phony rally because the truth about rates, and therefore stocks, is now out of the bag. So, Bernanke manipulated the market, right? When I suggested yesterday that Bernanke picked a terrific time to spread the gospel that you can't presume the tapering is soon upon us, initially people were suspect. Did I believe the Fed did anything substantive? Was I that naive? Darn it all, I am nothing, if not naive. What I was saying was Bernanke has learned to play the game. He knew his words were going to have an impact because he wasn't trying to stem a decline. He was saying basically, "look, intelligentsia, I know your game, you think I am done, think again." Those who believe that he is too unsophisticated or doesn't know the impact of his words; he knows all too well the impact and he needed to undo his testimony of a few weeks ago.

The saying goes something like, Everythings bigger in Texas. Id like to disagree. Ive found that most everything is wider. There are freeways that are seven lanes wide, and driving along one of those super-wide freeways, I discovered an S4 with an extra-wide track. When it comes down to it, though, wider is good, but wilder is even better.
When I met Matt Chow, the owner of this Seidl body kitwearing 01 S4, he didnt come across as someone who would own such a crazy car. Hes very laid-back; he drives his S4 everywhere, and most impressively, he lets his friends drive his car, too. Most people wont even let their friends near their cars. But, as Matt points out, a car is meant to be drivena point that was made even more pronounced when I bumped into him at car shows in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia.
Although Matt never went so far as to describe his modifying philosophy, its fairly obvious once you see the car. He likes things to be extremeand with that, Matt started his most recent project with one of Audis infamous S4 rockets. From there, he bolted on a complete Seidl widebody kit, the wildest body kit he could find. The Seidl kit replaces all four fenders, in addition to the front and rear bumpers, and the side skirts. Making the exterior even more distinct is a DTM Autohaus carbon-fiber hood with blue pearl painted in and an A! Avantguarde grille.
Under the skin of this S4 are plenty of performance upgrades. H&R coilovers, an APR chip, a GIAC Tiptronic upgrade, and a Neuspeed exhaust are just a few go-fast items that were added. Being a realist, Matt also knew these performance upgrades would probably just offset the additional weight of the immense stereo system. As for the Audis entertainment system, Matt spared nothing when it came to dropping money on making the sedan insanely interactive. Just sitting in the drivers seat and staring at the Defi heads-up display will tell you that.
Inside the trunk sits a pair of ADS subs and amps with a Visonik 6.8-inch monitor flush-mounted into the decklid. A spare DTM Kreuz wheel resides in the spare tirewell, but the trunk floor has been trimmed to display the wheel, utilizing a Plexiglas floor and an ample supply of blue neon. The entire trunk was also reupholstered in blue-and-black alcantara to match the refinished Cobra Suzuka GT seats and floor mats.
Even taking into consideration the width of the car, the three monitors, the PlayStation 2, the TV tuner, and the custom speaker and amp enclosures, the wildest part of the car is, by far, the brakes. Peering though the front 18-inch wheels are a set of Stoptech 355mm front rotors with four-piston calipers; in the rear there are 328mm rotors clamped by similar Stoptech four-piston calipers. All of the brakes are supplied fluid via steel braided brake lines. The result of the additional grippers is enough brake surface to make the passengers thankful for the Schroth harnesses.
Take a minute and think about every other Audi on the show scene. Most have some of the items Matts S4 does, but few people have gone so far as to throw another $40,000 in aftermarket parts at a $43,000 car. If everything thats on this S4 doesnt convince you that its one of the wildest Audis youve ever seen, take into consideration that it was built over the course of one year. That alone is pretty wild.

COLUMBUS -- Taking money collected on gasoline sales by the state's updated business tax and spending it on anything but highway-related programs is unconstitutional, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Friday as it accepted arguments that the tax is wrongly diverting $140 million annually from fuel sales to non-roadwork accounts for schools and cities.
Builders, contractors, construction companies and engineers had sued over the tax, claiming that Ohio voters have repeatedly rejected the notion of diverting taxes raised from fuel sales to non-road work.
The court said in a 6-1 decision that the Commercial Activity Tax can still be applied to companies that make money selling fuel, but it can't be diverted into the state fund that pays for everything from schools to prisons to health care for the poor. The court came to a similar conclusion three years ago in a lawsuit brought by grocers over the tax's application to grocery store food sales. However, that decision didn't deal with how the tax proceeds could be spent.
The Ohio Constitution "explicitly prohibits the expenditure of revenue derived from excises on motor-vehicle fuel for any purpose other than highway purposes," Justice Robert Cupp wrote for the majority.
The state can still collect the money but can't spend it until the General Assembly passes a law adjusting what it can be constitutionally used for, Cupp added.
The office of Gov. John Kasich, which must produce a balanced two-year budget early next year, is reviewing the decision, said spokesman Rob Nichols.
Groups opposed to the tax argued the Ohio constitution bars money raised from the sale of fuel from being used on anything but highway upkeep.
"The diversion of any of these excise taxes undermines the will of the people to preserve the Motor-Vehicle-Fuel-related excise tax base for public road repair and construction," Anthony Ehler, an attorney representing both construction companies and county engineers whose budgets rely on fuel taxes, said in a March 20 court filing.
Ehler said Friday the decision won't raise or lower taxes that people pay for fuel but will improve driving in Ohio.
"Ultimately, it will mean better funding for roads and bridges and safe driving," Ehler said.
The decision will likely reduce how much money Ohio can add to its rainy day fund at the end of this budget year, but won't require the state to dip into the current fund of about $482 million, said state budget director Tim Keen.
The $140 million collected yearly from the tax, though less than 1 percent of Ohio's budget, still puts extra financial pressures on the state as it builds the two-year budget taking effect next July, Keen added.
At issue is a 2005 rewrite of Ohio's tax code that taxes a wide variety of business activity, not just a company's revenue.
Lawmakers approved the tax as an alternative to the state's former business tax, which was criticized as having high rates but numerous loopholes -- it was sometimes dubbed a "Swiss cheese" approach -- that reduced its ability to raise revenue.
The new tax is low -- 0.26 percent -- but is applied to as many businesses as possible with fewer exemptions.
The debate doesn't involve the 28-cent state gasoline tax, whose revenues are distributed automatically to the state, counties and local governments for road work.
The state argued that the CAT is not on gasoline itself, but on companies that make money selling fuel. It also said opponents of the tax are disguising their objections to paying it "as a crusade to save highway spending."
"The CAT relates to doing business, and it does not 'relate to' motor fuels any more than it relates to selling food, widgets, or anything else," Stephen Carney, an assistant Ohio attorney general, said in a May 9 filing with the court.
In 2009, the court ruled the state could continue to collect the same tax when it's applied to grocery store food sales. In a 6-1 decision, the court upheld the collection of the CAT on food sold by grocery stores and others for off-site consumption. The Ohio Grocers Association unsuccessfully argued that applying the tax to food sales violated the state constitution, which prohibits sales tax on the sale of food that's taken off store premises to eat.

WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan closed on its offering of a $1 billion sovereign bond issuance guaranteed by the United States Government. This second loan guarantee reinforces the firm U.S. commitment to the people of Jordan by strengthening the Government of Jordan's ability to maintain access to international financing, while enabling it to achieve its economic development and reform goals.
The United States' guarantee will allow Jordan to access affordable financing from international capital markets, helping Jordan to continue to provide critical services to its citizens as it enacts transformative economic reforms and hosts more than 600,000 refugees who have fled the violence inside Syria. The loan guarantee agreement is designed to support specific economic reforms the Government of Jordan is pursuing to promote the economic stability and growth needed to provide opportunity and prosperity to the Jordanian people.
Today's issuance of a $1 billion, five-year Jordanian sovereign bond was supported by a 100 percent guarantee of the repayment of principal and interest by the United States Government. The $1 billion issuance was priced at a coupon rate of 1.945%.

As a birth parent or adoptive parent, you must submit required documentation to have your child's birth certificate created. Your child's birth certificate is a valuable legal document. It is the chief source of information on your child's full name, place of birth, date of birth, and parents. Filed shortly after birth (preferably within 30 days of birth), the birth certificate provides proof of age and identity. This is important, because your child may need his or her birth certificate throughout life (for example, to enter school, access social services, travel in foreign countries, receive inheritance, etc.).
Complete and return the home birth worksheet within 30 days of birth. If you do not return this form within a year of your child's birth, you will need to provide additional evidence about the birth and pay an additional filing fee. More importantly, the birth certificate will be marked delayed. Government authorities question the validity of delayed birth certificates, which could hurt your child for the rest of his or her life.
Request a certified copy of your child's birth certificate at any city or town hall in Rhode Island or at the State Office of Vital Records. You can do this within a few weeks of submitting your child's birth worksheet (if you had a hospital birth) or home birth worksheet (if you had a home birth). more

LEDBURY Amateur Boxing Club put on a Valentine's Day show at Fusion Nightclub in Hereford.
Considering the bad weather, boxers travelled from all different regions, including the heart of Devon, Newtown in mid-Wales, Oxford, Birmingham and Telford.
Twelve bouts attracted six Midlands champions and Ledbury boxer Kevin Florence accepted the challenge of one in Liam Gould, of William Perry ABC, Tipton.
Florence tackled an excellent three rounds and won by a split decision.
Ledbury club-mate Luke Cullwick took on the challenge of Midlands champion Idris Mohammed, from Wellington ABC, Telford, but lost the bout by a one-point decision despite a fine performance over three rounds.
The town's Alex Florence welcomed the challenge of George Taylor, from Aston Police ABC, Birmingham, over an exciting three rounds.
He gave his Midlands opponent a standing count on the second round and finished it off in the third by stopping his opponent with a knockout.
Ledbury coach Fred Florence said: "I am very happy with the way my boxers performed and with the performance of Luke, considering he had one of the top opponents, so, in my eyes, he is one of the top lads, losing by one punch.
"Kevin is maturing with age and I'm delighted with the way he handled his opponent. Alex once again showed he is the king of the ring and I'm very happy with his development in power, he's maturing well.
"I say the same thing over and over again but I would put Alex, Kevin, Luke and Wayne Lock up against anybody and I mean anybody in the world so get in contact with us.
"If you are worried about travelling, we will come to you in your own backyard."
Anyone interested in joining Ledbury's amateur boxing club can contact 01531-631879.

SPRINTER Sacre will not defend his Queen Mother Champion Chase crown at Cheltenham next month.
The Nicky Henderson-trained two-mile king was sensationally pulled up at Kempton on December 27, where he was quickly diagnosed as suffering from an irregular heartbeat.
That problem righted itself, and he has been closely monitored since by equine specialist Celia Marr, steadily pleasing his team and with a racecourse gallop in the offing.
However, the eight-year-old did not show his usual brilliance in a piece of work at Henderson's Seven Barrows base in Lambourn on Saturday, and the decision has been taken to miss Cheltenham and the rest of the season.
Henderson said: "He worked (on Saturday) as normal, but I just needed to see the old Sprinter back yesterday. Everything had been going very well, his work was building up. It had been OK, but I was looking for that something he shows, he is extraordinary and always used to give us that at home.
"I talked extensively with Caroline and Raymond Mould, who have been very understanding.
"I said the other week it was 50-50 (getting to Cheltenham) but quietly I thought it was above that, I honestly thought we were going the right way.
"It's just not all there and I can't ask a horse of his standing, I can't sacrifice him, I think it is fairer to everybody - the horse told us what he wanted to tell us yesterday. It's not what he's made of."
Henderson went on: "He worked with Triolo D'Alene, Nico (De Boinville) rode him as he has every day for the last three years, and he had his heart monitor on.
"Triolo is a good work horse and anything that works with him has to be good, he is the one horse I use as a lead horse for Sprinter Sacre as he needs a good gallop on the way to the Grand National and wherever he goes before that.
"The old Sprinter Sacre would have found it very easy - if a normal horse works well with Triolo you'd say 'get on that next time' but Sprinter in fairness is unique, it's as simple as that.
"Simonsig used to be his workmate last year but we lost him (to injury). He will be back and I'm confident Sprinter Sacre will be back, too.
"But I can't ask him to go to a racecourse next weekend. We all watch him day in day out, his blood is good and his scopes, and Celia says his heart is good. It's not his heart. He's just missing something, something like 10 per cent, but that is crucial when you are in the zone we are in.
"I don't feel I want to gallop him on a racecourse next week, he needs a racecourse gallop (to get to Cheltenham) and I can't ask him to do it. He is 100 per cent sound, he's above 90 per cent but you need to be 100 per cent, that's where you need to be. He needed to go to a racecourse.
"We talked for a long time last night and again today. We've come up with our decision and that is that, the Moulds have been very understanding. It just shows all the ups and downs.
"Last year was phenomenal, particularly with Sprinter. He took us to places no horse has done for years.
"I can't thank Celia and everybody at home enough.
"At least he is sound and his heart is good, therefore there must be every chance he will be back next season 100 per cent and let's hope the old Sprinter is back in the Tingle Creek in December, that's what matters to us.
"Look out everybody because believe me we will get him there."
Paddy Power make the Gary Moore-trained Sire De Grugy, twice a Grade One winner this season, the 5-4 favourite for the BetVictor-sponsored Queen Mother on March 12.

Providing proper nutrition and minimizing stress can improve a cow's ability to fight disease.
While good animal husbandry is not very sexy and some people overlook it in their ongoing search for a "silver bullet," it is vitally important, points out Amelia Woolums, professor of large animal internal medicine at the University of Georgia.
"Nutritional deficiency and prolonged stress have both been shown to impair (the cow's) innate immune functions as well as adaptive immune functions," so preventing these problems is important to support immune response, she says.
Enhanced immunity is a collective effort between you and the cow, and that includes judicious use of nutritional supplements and animal health products.
Proper nutrition
"In the absence of proper nutrition, the immune system will not perform optimally," says Marcus Kehrli, Jr., veterinary medical officer at the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa.
"However, very little research has been done to define basic nutritional requirements of cattle to support immune function; especially lacking is science defining the nutrient requirements of transition cows," he says.
The transition cow is faced with numerous challenges. For example, hypocalcemia during the transition period has been associated with depressed neutrophil (immune cell) function.
Epidemiological data going back decades have identified greater disease incidence in transition cows that experience ketosis and/or milk fever. "Given the immune system requires a wide array of nutrients… it only makes common sense that if we short-change the transition cow nutritionally, it will only further enhance her susceptibility to a myriad of infectious diseases, particularly in the first few weeks of lactation," Kehrli says.
Some believe that supplementing nutrients, such as vitamins or minerals, in excess can improve response.
Yet, numerous studies have looked at the impact of various nutrients and feed supplements on immune response, Woolums says, and the bottom line is that nutrient supplementation in excess of maintenance requirements generally does not improve immunity, although there are specific examples of certain vitamins or minerals associated with improved immunity. For example, vitamin E and selenium have been shown to help defend against mastitis.
It's important to have the animals as stress-free as possible, since stress releases cortisol which can interfere with immunity.
Antibiotics and vaccines
Antibiotics have significantly lowered mortality rates of many bacterial diseases, suggesting that antibiotics fill a void when the cow's innate and adaptive immunity fails to optimally protect against mortality.
"Furthermore, some classes of antibiotics are known to accumulate inside phagocytic cells of the innate immune system and, in so doing, help the phagocytic cell more efficiently kill an ingested bacteria," Kehrli explains.
However, the cow's innate immune response is also critical for antibiotics to be useful as evidenced by the fact that animals with defects in innate immune function, such as defects in neutrophil function, develop repeated bacterial infections that cannot be effectively controlled long-term with antibiotics. "So, I would say that antibiotics and the innate immune system work hand-in-hand to fight off bacterial infection," Woolums says.
Kehrli adds, "We already know quite a bit about the effects of various physiological stressors on neutrophil and lymphocyte functional activities, as well as the reduced ability of an immune-suppressed animal to respond to vaccination.
"However, we don't know all of the underlying causes of poor responses to vaccines," he adds. "Hence, it is critical that we invest in research to provide a better understanding of which components of the innate immune system are necessary for effective vaccine responses." (See "Get the most out of vaccines" on page 24 of the February issue of Dairy Herd Management.)
Geni Wren is editor of Bovine Veterinarian, a sister publication of Dairy Herd Management. Portions of this article appeared in the July-August issue of her magazine.
Get the most out of vaccines
When Vic Cortese goes out to a farm, he makes it a point to check the farm's refrigerator.
"A majority of the time, the refrigerator is set either too cold or too warm," he says, adding that he actually measures this with a thermometer. He would like to see the temperature around 40 degrees F to optimize performance of the vaccines stored there.
And, he says, he would rather see the vaccines stored on the shelves of the refrigerator rather than the door. Not only do the vaccines get jostled on the door when the door opens and closes, they are also subjected to greater temperature extremes since the door is the first place receiving warm air when the refrigerator is opened.
"It's amazing how much dairies pay for (the vaccines) and then place them in an old refrigerator that got taken out of the house that doesn't maintain temperatures correctly," says Cortese, who serves as director of the Veterinary Specialties Group at Pfizer Animal Health.
Some other things to be aware of:
• Modified-live vaccines can begin to lose potency once they are mixed, so be sure to use them promptly — within 45 minutes to a few hours, depending on the product and situation. Consult with your veterinarian on proper handling and administration techniques.
• Some of the harsher disinfectants, when used to clean syringes, can kill a vaccine if the residue hasn't been removed. Ultraviolet light from direct sunlight can have the same effect.
• Unless it's stated on the label that "duration of immunity studies have been established" for a vaccine, it's unknown exactly how long a vaccine will protect an animal. Many times, the vaccine label will simply take a default position and recommend "annual re-vaccination." But that can be misleading, because producers might look at "annual revaccination" and think that one shot is all that is needed when, in fact, a booster is often needed as well. Again, consult with your veterinarian.
• It's important to understand antibody interference with vaccines. Antibodies that are already in the animal from colostrum or a previous vaccination can bind to the agents in a vaccine known as antigens, which basically tells the rest of the immune system that "everything is already taken care of, so don't worry about it." It's like flipping an off-switch at a time when the animal needs extra protection. This is a problem with some diseases more than others — BVD is an example where existing antibodies can block a vaccine. Your veterinarian is an important resource for letting you know when to time the vaccines.

Marin law enforcement agencies are planning extra enforcement against drunken drivers during the Super Bowl weekend.
On Sunday, the day of the game, police will run roving "strike teams" around the county to look for DUI suspects from 5 p.m. to midnight.
In addition to the strike teams, two initiatives were planned in San Rafael: a DUI checkpoint from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday, and extra patrols on Saturday night beginning at 6 p.m.
The programs are funded by state grant money to Avoid the Marin 13, a coalition of the county's 13 primary law enforcement agencies.

In its season debut on Monday, the North Platte Community College mens' basketball team showed flashes of brilliance en route to a 68-51 win over the Hastings College junior varsity at the McDonald-Belton Gymnasium.
Hastings came back to tie at 15 all with a three by Aaron Reyes. But the Knights distanced themselves over the course of the next minute plus with another three by Simmons and a layup by Ethan Montalvo for a five-point lead.
Simmons then followed with a pair of layups to end the 9-0 run for the Knights.
Hastings went on a six-point run toward the end of the first half before Bouba Casse made a three in the closing seconds to give NPCC a halftime lead of 29-23.
The Knights took it to the Broncos in the opening minutes of the second half. Eric Richardson scored on a tip-in on NPCC's opening possession. Then Damon Brown made a steal in the backcourt to put NPCC up by 10.
Simmons and Montalvo then followed Brown's lead and scored the next two baskets on easy layups after they stole the ball.
The Knights' led by as much as 19 before Hastings cut the lead to 11. But NPCC held off the Broncos to win their first game of the season.

Accurately scoping process analyzer projects
This article covers the formal details of a project approval scope document, including front-end engineering design, front-end loading, project execution modeling, and independent project analysis.
By Gary Nichols, PE, Jacobs Engineering Group
THE FIRST article in this series ("How to Launch an Analyzer System Reliability Program," Control, July 2006, pp 49-53) noted the close relationship between the lifetime cost of a process analyzer project and the attention given to reliability during the concept (scope development) and design (detailed engineering) project stages. This article covers the details of a project scope document.
One of a project engineer/manager's most challenging jobs, especially during project scope development, is the avoidance of "meatball engineering"—a poorly scoped project that leads to minimally effective results. (Gregory Hale, InTech, Oct. 2004) Key to this avoidance is "knowledge management" and "good client" development, says Hale.
The engineer must elicit from the client—the funding source—all the information required for a good project and gently, but persistently, minimize chances that he becomes his "own worst enemy," causing unwise scope-cutting or, conversely, "scope creep," or demanding procedural shortcuts, illogical cost-cutting and schedule changes. The project engineer must ensure communication with clients or accept--often unjustly--responsibility for missing project goals, and it falls to him or her to make sure this doesn't happen. (Mark Hoske, Control Engineering supplement, Dec. 2004, pp.12-14)
The information that must be addressed is often part of the front-end engineering design, the front-end loading, the project execution model, and the independent project analysis. (R. Mead, H. Sedgwick, and S. van Soest, Hydrocarbon Processing, Sept. 2004, pp. 69-74)
Now we shall address formal details of the project approval scope. Following are the working assumptions:
- The analyzer project engineer begins with a brief capital work order that includes an operative statement, such as, "Install analyzer on West Final Purification Tower to measure residual reactant." Other information includes a desired project completion date, the purpose of the project (safety, environmental, economic expansion, etc.), and sufficient technical detail for the engineer to generate a few questions for the first user-client inquiry.
- The management approval package must include a written scope, cost estimate (+/-10%), preliminary impact review (personnel and process safety, environmental and utility), red-lined (marked with additions, changes and demolitions) drawings, project schedule and analyzer, and associated instrument specifications.
We shall concentrate on the written scope, which probably has a standard format, but note that other documents frequently contain information needed to develop the project scope and, conversely, that the project scope will eventually be reflected directly or indirectly in the other documents.
Table I shows a typical project approval scope document structure. For simplicity, let us assume that the detailed estimate document generally follows the structure of the detailed scope, and that the latter does not include dollar amounts.

- Project Title and Number
- Project Purpose
- Brief Project Scope
- Brief Project Justification

Table II includes much detail that we don't have space to discuss. Readers will be able to develop scenarios wherein any of these factors could influence—or be influenced by—a process analyzer project. It is highly unlikely that all would be included in a given project, but the wise reader should not be surprised if any one of them is included.
