Prolactinoma is the most prevalent anterior hypophysis tumor. The principal treatment for this disorder is Dopamine agonist drugs including bromocriptin and Cabergoline. However, 50% of Bromocriptin treated and 17% of Cabergoline treated patients are resistant to these drugs. Curcumin is the main derivative of turmeric ,an old spice which is used frequently in Indian and Iranian cuisine. It has been proved that curcumin can reduce mammotrope cells proliferation and also intracellular hormone production. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of turmeric on prolactinoma patients.

I've been wanting to make one of these Mug Rugs for a while now!
A few days ago I said ok, lets just whip one up and see how long it takes.
Thirty minutes later I said "ta-da" and husband goes "What's this mug rug thing you keep going on about?"
So I tried to explain it as a big coaster that holds a coffee cup AND toast... a soft washable plate... a mini quilt you use as cup holder AND napkin combined.
I don't think he gets it, and that's fine. He's a guy. Linux, he gets. Mug rugs, not so much.

WE APPRECIATE San Rafael's desire to address chronic problems with the homeless in the downtown area, but the strategy needs to include more than writing tickets.
The City Council has adopted a plan that includes tickets for jaywalking, drinking alcohol from open containers and urinating and sleeping in public.
We commend city leaders for responding to a growing number of complaints by residents and businesses.
San Rafael has been wrestling for decades with what to do with the homeless, especially those who spend most of their time downtown. Many of the chronic homeless are familiar to anyone who works or lives in or near downtown or who spends time in Marin's largest, most vibrant, most urban city center.
San Rafael is not going to solve the problem of homelessness on its own. This is a complex societal issue with many layers. The homeless are hardly a homegenous population — just like the rest of society. Some people who are homeless want to escape their situation and resume productive lives. Some are victims of the economic downturn. Many are mentally ill. Others have drug and alcohol problems. Some have chosen being homeless as a way of life.
A strategy to address the issue of homelessness needs to take all that and more into consideration, including how to most efficiently and humanely deliver services and help to the homeless.
Certain behaviors should not be tolerated. Residents, workers, businesses and visitors should not be subjected to offensive and illegal acts. City officials also plan to consider other strategies, including moving services for the homeless out of the downtown area and new ordinances to ban sitting or lying on city streets, panhandling and loitering.
We are hopeful the city's approach will include more than a crackdown by police designed to chase the homeless out of San Rafael to another city.
The list of actions the City Council approved last month was submitted to them by Mayor Gary Phillips and Councilman Marc Levine, the council's new subcommittee on homelessness. They included some of the suggestions by a community stakeholders group.
A suggestion that didn't make the cut included a campaign to humanize homeless people.
But the City Council did endorse exploring having someone coordinate mental health services for homeless individuals; looking for outside funding for a program that would reward the homeless for cleaning city streets; and having San Rafael's economic development manager work part-time as the city's point person for homelessness issues at an annual cost of $30,000.
Those are positive steps that we look forward to seeing implemented; a strategy that emphasizes making the homeless as invisible as possible would be a step in the wrong direction.
Such an approach may make people feel better because they won't have to confront something that makes many of us uncomfortable. But that would wind up being a Band-aid that ignores a larger problem.

Steve is also a volunteer DJ at community radio station WTJU, where he is a regular host of the American folk show "Atlantic Weekly," as well as the world music program "Radio Tropicale."
More from Steve Kindig
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Experience stunning 3D images with Samsung's Internet-ready C8000 plasma HDTVs.
Video Transcript
Steve: We're talking about Samsung's C8000 series plasma HDTVs. These are 1080p TVs, which is pretty common, but these have some special features. They're 3D-ready and they're also internet-ready which means that you can do things like stream Netflix movies.
And I mentioned that they're plasma, and that means that they are really good at handling motion and they give you things like great black levels and really good contrast.
These are 3D-ready TVs also which means that they have special screens that can display images really quickly, which is what you need for 3D. But it also means that they'll give you the clearest 2D picture that you've ever seen.
And if you want to watch 3D at home there are some other things that you need. You need some special 3D glasses, which in this case means Samsung 3D glasses, and you need a 3D video source like a 3D Blu-ray, or a 3D channel like on cable or satellite, or a 3D video game. To get you going Samsung also makes a 3D starter kit that includes two pairs of 3D glasses and a 3D Blu-ray movie.
If you need more information about the Samsung C8000 series go to crutchfield.com/samsungC8000. If you buy from Crutchfield you'll get free technical support for as long as you own your television. And if you need advice on buying a television give us a call, e-mail us, or chat with us online.

Building a machine that uses a number of whimsical, counterintuitive steps to accomplish a very simple task might sound like a fun challenge, but it's also the perfect way to learn physics and engineering. Each of the machine's steps must be as efficient as possible and take into account various physics principles in order to make the entire creation work. Participants in this camp will gain hands-on engineering experience by working in small groups to construct a Rube Goldberg machine.
Working with faculty who have supervised the team of students who won the 2009 & 2012 national Rube Goldberg Machine Contest held annually at Purdue University (see a video of the machine by searching "St. Olaf Rube Goldberg" on YouTube), participants in this camp will learn principles and techniques utilized by engineers and scientists every day as they build their own machines. They will then demonstrate their completed machines to their peers, family, and friends on the last day of camp.

TORONTO—For long-suffering Toronto hockey fans, the fact that their team was never really a serious contender won't cushion the blow of losing Game 4 in overtime.
Down two games to one against the Boston Bruins, the Maple Leafs had a golden opportunity to tie their their Stanley Cup playoff series and ensure another home date at the Air Canada Centre next week.
MORE: The player of the night | Best photos from May 8
Instead, they frittered away a two-goal lead, and lost the game when a poorly timed pinch from captain Dion Phaneuf permitted Bruins center David Krejci and power forward Milan Lucic to take their time on a hundred-foot two-on-one that, of course, they made no mistake on.
Fans may not find solace in the fact that their team lost a game that they're expected to lose, but they should find some in their team's performances at five-on five in this series. By the so called "underlying numbers" like unblocked shot differential and-shot attempt percentage, the Maple Leafs are one of the worst clubs to make the playoffs in the past five years. The Bruins? They're consistently elite—or have been for the past couple of seasons, at least.
Yet Randy Carlyle's Maple Leafs have gone toe-to-toe with one of the best five-on-five clubs in the National Hockey League over the past week. Since a complete spanking in the first game of the series, Toronto's club has held their own, and even surpassed reasonable expectations by regularly carrying play.
— Elisha Cuthbert, April Reimer: Everything is cool
Wednesday night's game was a bit of an odd contest. Toronto built a two-goal lead against the grain in the first period, and played much better in the second frame even as they blew that lead and surrendered three unanswered goals.
That's when Clarke MacArthur—who has been a healthy scratch since Game 1 and only saw limited ice-time in Game 4 despite being one of Toronto's best at "driving play"— tied the game. His goal was assisted by winger Matt Frattin—also a healthy scratch in Game 1, and puck-moving dynamo Jake Gardiner—you guessed it, a healthy scratch in Game 1 as well.
As a result of a variety of circumstances—injuries, the obvious need to insert faster, puck-moving players into the lineup, and such—Toronto iced an 18-man roster that was as close to their "optimal" lineup on Wednesday as Leafs fans have seen this season. When Colton Orr took a bad penalty in the second period, and didn't receive another shift for the rest of the game, and after Mark Fraser bravely blocked a shot with his head and was taken to hospital, that "optimal lineup" congealed.
In the latter stages of the game, with Fraser receiving medical attention and Ryan O'Byrne struggling to keep up, the Leafs lucked into a situation where Carlyle's only option was to do the "right" thing by the data. Forced to lean heavily on Gardiner, a young player who struggled to stay in the lineup all season long, Carlyle rolled with a top-four of Carl Gunnarsson and Phaneuf, and Cody Franson and Gardiner.
It was like someone turned on overdrive. Fueled by the contributions of four mobile defensemen, the Leafs proceeded to out-chance the Bruins 10 to four over the last thirty minutes of play, and nearly won the game when Frattin rung a puck off the post. They may have deserved to win, but as Carlyle told reporters post game, carrying play "doesn't really matter in overtime. It's all the ones (one block, one rebound, one bounce) that go against you…."
But that the Leafs were so dominant in a tied-game state, during the playoffs, against one of the league's best and most battle-tested clubs is absolutely impressive. Yes, Leafs fans will hate the result. But if you can't look at that process and begin to see what former general manager Brian Burke and his successor Dave Nonis have been trying to build, you're not trying.
"We didn't want to lose a game due to sitting back and just receiving," explained Franson, arguably Toronto's best player on Wednesday, "We thought we could better ourselves by trying to put the pressure on, and we hit a couple of posts and Rask made a couple of good saves and they capitalized on the one chance they got..."
Franson, primarily known for his offense in the past, has developed into a very sturdy two-way presence in Toronto's top-four. He was borderline dominant on Wednesday, playing nearly 21 minutes at even-strength. The Leafs outshot the Bruins 15 to five when he was on the ice, and outscored them three to nothing. Of course, a year ago, he was in Gardiner's shoes, struggling to stay in the lineup and earn the trust of his head-coach (Ron Wilson, at the time).
"(When you're not in the regular lineup) you have to stick with it, and when you get your shot you have to be in a good frame of mind, stay in a positive place and be confident when you get back in," Franson explained of his learning experience as a healthy scratch a year ago. He added his take on Gardiner's performance: "He's been very good for us the last two games and a big help in us having more offensive chances."
Which of course begs the question: Where could the Leafs be at the moment if the likes of Gardiner, MacArthur and Frattin had been mainstays in the lineup, or if Mikhail Grabovski received as many minutes as he has against Boston?
It's a quandary for Leafs fans, who can begin to see the elements of a good young team, but are left to wonder if the conductor knows which rail to ride. Does Carlyle deserve credit for his adjustments in this series, which indisputably have worked? Or scrutiny, because many of those adjustments were patently obvious ones with even fleeting attention to the data?
Carlyle, for his part, thinks that Gardiner hasn't been "as erratic with the puck" in the postseason as he was when he returned from injury earlier in the year.
"He's very noticeable when he's carrying (the puck) and moving it," Carlyle said. "Those were our expectations for him when we started the season but from our perspective that wasn't happening out there. Unfairly or fairly that's what we judged. We make decisions based on what we read. Some people don't agree with me, but I don't really care at this point."

Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center To Host Fly Fish Texas March 4
ATHENS, Texas — Flies will be buzzing around the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center March 4, but no one will be swatting them.
Instead, visitors will be learning about flies, fishing with flies and even collecting bugs to use as models when tying flies. And they will be doing it all under the supervision of expert fly fishers from Texas and beyond.
Fly fishers will converge on Athens for the seventh annual Fly Fish Texas event to share tips and techniques during seminars and hands-on demonstrations. Participants can tie flies, practice casting and fish for bass, sunfish and rainbow trout in TFFC's ponds and streams.
Seminars will cover fly fishing for redfish, trout, bass and carp; kayak fishing; urban fly fishing and fishing small streams in Texas and Colorado. Demonstrations and classes will teach everything from tying knots to casting using long rods.
Speakers scheduled to appear include Chuck Scates of Rockport, a pioneer in fly fishing the Texas coast; Billy Trimble, a saltwater fly fishing guide from Aransas Pass; Mark Marmon, a member of Texas Fly Fishers in Houston and urban fly fishing guide; Jim Partin, a fly fishing guide in Arkansas and Colorado; Ronnie Ray, founder of Tejas Outfitters, a fly fishing and outdoor adventure service based in Austin; Steve Watson and Jared Satterwhite, members of Pineywoods Fly Fishers in Lufkin and kayaking addicts; Allen Crise, owner of Hawk Ridge Tackle and Flycasting School in Glen Rose; and Steve Hollensed, past president of the Red River Fly Fishers in the Sherman/Denison area.
No prior experience in fly fishing is needed. Beginning and intermediate fly fishing classes will be offered. Students of all ages will learn what makes good fish habitat and collect and identify bugs from TFFC streams and ponds. Then they will learn how to tie flies that mimic those bugs and use them to catch fish using fly fishing gear provided on-site.
Vendors will display and sell the latest fly fishing gear.
Admission to the day-long event is included with regular admission to TFFC: $5.50 for adults, $4.50 for seniors and $3.50 for children ages 4-12. TFFC is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located at 5550 F.M. 2495, three miles east of Athens. Athens is 75 miles southeast of Dallas.
Sponsors and vendors for the event include the Sabine River Authority; Orvis; Dwight Cooley Foods; Post Oak Master Naturalists; Boy Scout Troop 1299; Temple Fork Outfitters; Deborah Wade, Dame Julia Fly Tying; Chris Dukeminier, Mariner Sails; Jim Partin, ArkAnglers; Dave Speer, Trash on the Fly; Banning Collins, Class V Watercraft; and Derrick Stratton, American Fish and Game Club.

It took just 134 seconds for Anthony Joshua to stop Hector Avila on Saturday. It's little wonder the heavyweight has been tipped to "go all the way" by promoter Eddie Hearn.
Avila had taken Finchley fighter Dereck Chisora to nine rounds a little under a year ago but was blown away by Joshua in the first round.
The Argentine fighter attempted to connect with a punch but was caught by a powerful blow from Joshua.
Avila hit the canvas and the referee started to count before it was evident the fight was over.
Joshua, who trained at Finchley ABC prior to turning professional, is unbeaten with five victories but has yet to go beyond two rounds.
The 24-year-old believes there are stronger tests to come and says 2014 will be an interesting year in his fledging professional career.
"There's definitely an improvement from my last fight, and that's what I was looking for," Joshua told Sky Sports. "It was clear to see there have been some improvements in me. As the opponents get better, we want to keep on doing that.
"When people are knocking guys out there are always questions about whether they can go the distance. Everyone trains hard in the gym, but I think mentally I'm ready to go six, eight (rounds).
"This is my last six-rounder and the opponents are going to get tougher.
"This is going to be an interesting year and there will be a time when you see me go past two (rounds). I bet you, I'll be fine."
Joshua will be back in the ring on April 19 on the undercard to Scott Quigg's world title defence in Manchester.
His opponent has yet to be named but Hearn admits it is increasing difficult to hold back the London 2012 Olympic gold medal winner.
"He's progressing," Hearn told Sky Sports. "People will criticise the opponent but he (Avila) went nine rounds with Chisora.
"It's about showcasing Anthony Joshua all around the country. To see him walk out to that reception was incredible – that's why we love coming here so much.
"He's going all the way. We've got a problem in that I think he's ready for the division now. But we've got to keep progressing, keep learning. But right there, you've got something very special."
Hearn hinted that Joshua's next bout could be against a British fighter but the promoter didn't rule out another opponent from overseas.
"We hoped Avila would give him some rounds," he added. "We will look abroad, look internationally. The names of Michael Sprott and (Matt) Skelton have all been put in the mix. They're perfect for Anthony next. Then we will look at a British title in the next six months. We've got to do it right."

AN equine charity has issued an appeal for assistance after a horse was found in a poor condition wandering loose in Colne.
Offficials from HAPPA (Horses & Ponies Protection Association) are now urgently seeking information about the dark brown coloured steed, which was discovered in the Knotts Lane area of Colne.
A spokesman for the Briercliffe-based charity said: "There was evidence that the horse had been tethered as he was still wearing a collar and he may have broken loose.
"HAPPA is anxious to trace his owners and are urging the pubic to come forward with information. The horse was in poor conditon and in urgent need of veterinary treatment."
The horse, which was found on Thursday, May 15, was checked over by equine inspector David McCormick before it was removed to be cared for at HAPPA's base at Shore Hey Farm, off Halifax Road.
The Pendle case is the second significant intervention involving the charity in a month, after HAPPA was involved in the removal of six horses from land in Great Harwood.
Charity experts worked with the RSPCA and local vets after residents raised concerns about the state of the horses in Clinkham Road last month.
The charity has confirmed that all calls received concerning the Colne incident will be dealt with in the strictest confidence - they can be reached at their headquarters on 01282 455992.

Girl saves family from fire: 'I didn't want anyone to die'
OAK GROVE, Ore. - A 7-year-old girl helped her family escape a house fire early Saturday morning in Oak Grove.
Alexus Osburn woke her family when their home filled with smoke at around 2 a.m.
"I didn't want anyone to die," said Alexus.
The family escaped, along with their dog. Bill Osburn, Alexus' father, called 911. "She pretty much saved everybody," Bill said.
No one was hurt.
Alexus said she woke up to use the bathroom and saw her house was filled with smoke. She woke up her brother, her father and his girlfriend.
"When I got up, I just opened the door and could not see," she said. "Everything was all blowy because of the smoke."
Firefighters said the fire started in the dryer. There were no working smoke alarms in the home. Bill Osburn said he turned off the smoke detectors because he was heating the home with a wood stove.
"Stupid thing to do," Bill said. "Between ignorance and laziness not putting them back up, if she hadn't woke up I think things would have been a lot different."
Damage was estimated at $20,000.
"I'm never, ever going to touch fire," Alexus said.
KATU's Bob Heye contributed to this story.

...The grumblings of hard times can be heard everywhere one turns. It is true that we are no longer ruled by Czars, but no less terrible are the ideas of Mussolini concerning once again imbuing Rome with its erstwhile power or those of the Hitlerites who would empower Germany by means of murder and pogroms...In the March, 1934 issue of the journal Dawn, I wrote, among other things:
. . . The following S.O.S. can be heard anywhere there are Jews: They scream, Save us. We are going under! Never before has the situation been as terrible for Jews as it is today. If something bad befell the Jews of one country, the doors of another country stood open to receive them. Today the world is hammered shut. . . . No feels that it is worth his while to speak up for the Jews.In the year 1943, in New World, I wrote, among other things:
. . .Our mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, are being slaughtered every day. Our cries [of protest] should have echoed throughout the world.Later, when we did meet the surviving refugees, I was asked more than once: Where did you get the visionary ability to see so clearly the picture of Jewish destruction?
What will we tell those individuals who will survive Hitler's slaughter when they ask us, Why were you silent when our blood ran like water? How could you sleep peacefully in your beds? How could you dress yourselves in such luxury when our corpses weren't even covered by earth? How could you decorate your houses with flowers when we were choking in our hiding places? How could you eat and drink when we were dying of hunger and thirst? How could you dance, sing, and be happy, when we were going to our deaths?
It was only yesterday that you left us, and you have forgotten us so quickly. Have your feelings become dulled to your own flesh and blood? How can you complain about anyone else, when you yourselves are no better than they are? For the sake of our martyrs, shouldn't we live more modestly, not live such profligate lives, and prepare ourselves for the day that the war will end and we will have to help the survivors with bread?

THE blind man attacked at knife point is still a prisoner in his own home after being left unable to go out.
Andy Muxlow has not been out on his own since the incident which happened after he visited a cash machine at about 7.30pm on Friday, March 28, in Geraldine Road, Malvern.
Mr Muxlow, who is registered blind, has also not been sleeping properly despite getting sleeping tablets from his doctor and he doesn't know when he is likely to be able to return to his normal daily routine.
"Every time a car pulls up or when we go outside to the the car, if someone strange is out there I am wondering who it is. I have never lived like this before."
Mr Muxlow was able to kick and punch the leg and face of one of the male attackers who held a knife to his throat and chest while demanding money but has struggled to cope with the impact of the attack which has robbed him of his independence.
To make matters worse, Mr Muxlow, who has no sight in his right eye and only six per cent vision in his left, says he has been "hounded by press agencies" since the news of his plight broke.
"One of them pushed past my wife to get in the house. It was very insensitive.
"We just had a night away to try and chill out a little bit because it is really, really stressful for me and my wife as well because she has got to be here all the time."
Mr Muxlow added: "Please come forward. Someone must know because someone must have gone home with a mark or something. Someone is protecting somebody."
It is thought Mr Muxlow was attacked by two men and they may have been watching as he withdrew money from a cash machine opposite Loco in Barnards Green.
One was described as white, wearing a dark coloured top with white stripes on the shoulders.
Anyone with information should call PC Doidge, quoting incident 630-S-280314, on the non-emergency number 101.

ABOUT 880 homes in the Durrington area are suffering a phone line outage this morning.
The BT outage also affects elderly or vulnerable people who rely on the 'call safe' emergency system and Wiltshire Police is asking the public to check on neighbours during the outage.
Inspector Steve McGrath from Wiltshire Police's emergency call centre said: "BT have assured us that the 999 system and landlines will be working again by 12.30pm today. In the meantime we have put in extra patrols in the area and have contacted our partners such as fire, ambulance and Wiltshire Council to make them aware so that they can also make sure extra resources are in the area.
"Mobile phones are unaffected to the public can still call 999 but we ask that residents consider checking on elderly or vulnerable neighbours who may not have access to a landline, or who rely on an emergency call button system as these will not be working."

Remember, Wild Swings Come at the Top
Oh, sure, two days ago I said the market should rally for one to three days. But I didn't think it would rally all the way back -- not at all. Yet that is exactly what happened, so let's look at the statistics.
Last Friday the S&P 500 was up 13 points, on Wednesday it rose 19 -- and the NYSE advance-decline line showed a net of +1530 both days. On its own, Wednesday's breadth was good, though it was lacking compared with last week -- and, even so, the McClellan Summation Index continues to head downward. Heck, it needs another decent up day just to flatten out, let alone turn back upward....403 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Could A Nutrition Expert Help You? From Giant Eagle
Your doctor says that you need to lose weight, but you don't know how to get started. Or, you're finding it difficult to stick with a low-salt diet, even though you know it may help control your high blood pressure.
If you need to change your eating habits for the sake of your health, have you considered talking with a registered dietitian (RD)? These health care professionals can help you achieve your desired weight goal or maintain any dietary restrictions your health care provider recommends.
There are many reasons to seek help from a dietitian. If you have high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, or are overweight, seeing an RD regularly may be an investment in good health. For example, recent research shows that receiving education, support, and referrals from an RD helped people with type 2 diabetes lose more weight, take fewer medications and feel better than those who didn't seek help.
What to expect
At your first appointment, you will provide your medical, dietary, and exercise history. The RD will analyze your current diet and lifestyle and talk with you about your goals. Then he or she will help you develop some strategies for meeting those goals. To get started, you'll receive printed health information, perhaps a food and exercise log and a meal plan that's created just for you.
Your RD may see you alone or as part of a group. If you're visiting a dietitian as part of your treatment plan for a specific condition, you'll probably have one-to-one sessions. The number of visits varies, depending on your need for education and support.
Initially, you may need to see the RD every week. As you progress, the visits usually taper. During each visit, you'll discuss your progress and how to overcome potential obstacles that you may be dealing with.
What are their qualifications?
These professionals must complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree at a U.S. regionally accredited university or college and course work accredited or approved by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association. They must also complete a CADE-accredited supervised practice program, which is typically six to 12 months in length. Then they must pass a national exam to become registered. To keep their credentials, RDs must complete continuing professional education.
Remember to check with your health plan before you make an appointment to find out if visits are covered.

Curly Case Studies: Helping Women Transition
Key Martin
Key Essentials Hair Studio, Atlanta, Ga.
Background: Studied under a natural hair specialist for two and a half years and attended numerous workshops on the subject.
After successfully transitioning herself from relaxed to natural hair a decade ago, Martin made it her mission to help other women who are tired of their over-processed hair, but don't know how to transition. "I wanted to find a way to have them maintain and have healthy hair," says Martin. "With the right platform and marketing more women are able to receive great information that can help transition their hair from chemically straight to totally natural."
How She Markets Herself: Martin is a regular at natural hair events. At Fro Fashion Week earlier this year in Atlanta, she did a Big Chop—a term used when a woman goes natural, cuts off all of her relaxed hair—in front of several hundred people.
Recently, she hosted her first workshop, called "Key Essentials to Healthy Hair Care," and she plans to make it a semi-annual event. "We talked about what to do with natural hair, what different styles you can use to deal with heat," she explained. Martin also set up a Facebook page and a website, where fans can vote on the location of her next workshop.
Martin says business has been on a steady incline because of the huge market for stylists who understand how to help women transition correctly.

You may submit proof of insurance through EIFS once your customer has received a notice from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) requesting proof of insurance. You may also submit proof of insurance before the BMV requests it from your driver, but you must ensure that the information provided by your customer is accurate as submitting erroneous information may result in errors, up to and including suspension of your customer's driving privileges, and require the insurance provider to resubmit an electronic insurance form for your customer at a later time. To avoid these types of problems, we recommend you ask your customer if they have received a notice from the BMV requesting proof of insurance before submitting such proof. The notice to the driver indicates the accident/offense date and vehicle information (year, make), if provided, for which proof of insurance is required. This applies in the event of a citation or accident.
Visit myBMV.com; click "Insurance Agents" along the left side of the home page. In the middle of the page, select the "Take me to secure Electronic Insurance Forms Submission" link. A gold box will appear stating "Insurance Verification." This is where you will request access to the EIFS program, and this is where you will enter your user ID and password to gain entry into the program. You can bookmark the login page for quicker access.
The BMV will verify that the agent credentials are valid. After validation, the requesting agent will receive two emails from email@example.com. One email will provide a user ID and indicate the agent whom has been granted access. A second email will provide a password. This will typically occur within two business days, provided the agent's credentials are valid.
Verify that you are entering the user ID and password assigned to you, exactly as sent to you. It is your responsibility to inform the BMV of ANY changes in your credentials or professional information that you provided when you secured access to the EIFS program. Your responsibilities are defined in your access authorization agreement and the terms and conditions page you are presented with every time you log into the EIFS program. The BMV performs periodic audits of agent credentials and professional information. If you did not update any of your professional information with the BMV, and you changed roles or organizations, or other professional information you supplied to secure access, your access may be denied. If your user ID and password are not working, send a request to email@example.com for assistance. We will respond to your request within 48 business hours and inform you of what needs to be done to get your access reauthorized.
For licensed insurance agents, the user ID and password are active until the expiration date shown on your insurance agent license. If you have submitted an authorization request for an unlicensed representative and they were approved by the BMV, they will be authorized for two years from the time their user ID and password are activated.
Verify that the Department of Insurance in the state where you write insurance has received and updated your licensing information.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE (COC) – This form is used to verify financial responsibility for a specific incident dated in the past and for a specific vehicle. This form can be used to show proof of insurance for accidents and citations. This form should not be submitted with an effective date in the future. Most critically, the "Date Proof of Insurance Required" must match exactly the date of the citation/accident report. If you have any doubt of this date, request more information from your customer, as it may cause an error in processing, a possible suspension of your customer's driving privileges, and you to resubmit the COC at a later date.
SR22 – This form confirms financial responsibility for a driver who is required to maintain proof of financial responsibility with the BMV for a three-year period. Do not use this form to show proof of insurance for a specific accident or traffic violation.
SR26 – This form is used by insurance companies to notify the BMV that a SR22 policy has been canceled. You can avoid any errors by ensuring that the insurance company name and policy number that you submit matches, exactly, the policy number for the SR22 that you wish to cancel.
SR50 – This form provides proof of current insurance to the BMV. This form must not be submitted with an effective date in the future or an expiration date in the past. This form is used for reinstatement purposes.
The "Date Proof of Insurance Required" field is listed only in the COC, and it is the date that your customer received a citation or was involved in an accident. This date much exactly match the citation or accident data listed in the citation and/or accident report, or it will cause an error in processing.
The "Effective Certification Date" is the date that the insurance agent asserts SR22 insurance coverage began. It is only listed in the SR22, and it may, or may not, be different than the "Effective Policy Date."
EIFS may only be used to report proof of insurance for a driver with an Indiana driver's license (or ID) number. If you need to submit proof of insurance for a driver that doesn't have an Indiana driver's license number, you need to contact the BMV at email@example.com so you can submit their credentials and receive the proper form (COC) to submit to the BMV.
EIFS may only be used to report proof of insurance for a driver with an Indiana driver's license (or ID) number. If you need to submit proof of insurance for a driver that doesn't have an Indiana driver's license number, you need to contact the BMV at firstname.lastname@example.com so you can submit their credentials and receive the proper form (COC) to submit to the BMV.
No. Your user ID prints on your form and serves as your signature.
EIFS submissions that are processed automatically are applied to your customer's record within 24 hours. Those that are sent through email, and those submissions that contain errors, are processed manually, Monday through Friday, during normal business hours and are processed within 48 business hours. Please Note: Reaching the successful submission page while using EIFS does not guarantee your submitted proof of insurance will fulfill the proof of insurance requirement on your customer's record; it only indicates that your submission was received. If your driver's insurance is not processed correctly, they will receive a notice in the mail from the BMV explaining what information will be needed to process their insurance.
For instance, if there are errors, it may be due to a mismatch between the vehicle information indicated by the court or law enforcement officer and the information that you submitted. This can be easily corrected by confirming that the information in the accident report matches your customer's policy information. If any information requires amending on your part, just resubmit the form with the correct information. If you are certain that your customer's information is correct, but it was still rejected by the BMV, request that your customer either get an accident report corrected or a citation corrected.
Your customer may get an amended accident report by contacting the officer that submitted the accident report and requesting that they submit an amended accident report. If the mismatch is between a citation and your customer's policy coverage, your customer may contact the court that submitted the citation and request that they submit an amended SR16 to the BMV. Once the BMV receives this amended information, whether it is for a citation or accident, you can resubmit your customer's insurance forms using EIFS without error.
To submit your authorized representative for credential validation, you may click on the Subscriber Request Form . On this page, there is a statement reading, "If you are not a licensed agent, but require access to the EIFS program please click here to request authorization." Secondly, select the "click here" link to submit an email to the EIFS mailbox with the attached, signed authorization letter including the candidates name, professional email address, and business phone number. The letter must include the agencies NAIC number and state that the agency has authorized the representative to submit forms electronically to the BMV.
When the customer believes the officer made an error on the accident report, such as indicating incorrect vehicle information, the customer is responsible for contacting the police officer that wrote the accident report and requesting that the officer correct the error. Once the officer has submitted their amended accident report to the BMV, the BMV will process the amended accident report within 24 hours and make an update to your customer's driver record.
The customer may obtain the officer's contact information by purchasing the crash report at buycrash.com.
Indiana law (IC 9-25-5-9) requires you to file a SR26 form to cancel your customer's SR22 ten (10) days prior to the cancellation date of a SR22 policy. This filing is always required, even if you filed a SR22 on the wrong customer or filed the wrong form for the right customer. Typographic errors occur regularly and require resubmissions. This will cause additional errors down the road for your customer, especially if your customer needs to file SR22 insurance again in the future. It may also prevent them from being reinstated and cause further delays and resubmissions. If you have any question as to whether or not your customer's SR22 requirement has been closed by the BMV, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The error can only be corrected by resubmitting a corrected insurance form online using the EIFS program.
If the vehicle involved is not an option in the drop-box, you can request the required hardcopy Certificate of Compliance (COC) at email@example.com and submit it back to the BMV for manual processing. Processing of manual submissions has a higher turnaround time that can range from two (2) to four (4) business days. Please notify us in your email request for a COC that the vehicle you need to submit on is not listed in the drop-down box. We will make every effort to get it added in the future.
The most common error is when the citation/accident report date, vehicle year, and vehicle make information submitted by the insurance agent does not match the citation/accident report, vehicle year, and vehicle make information provided to the BMV by law enforcement or the courts. Please review the EIFS Forms section above for more information on submitting the correct form. If the information submitted through the EIFS program does not match the information on your customer's driving record, the driver will receive notice of the discrepancy in the mail. This can be frustrating for you and your customer, and it is for this reason that we encourage you, the agent, to ensure that all of your customer's information matches exactly what is on the citation/accident report before submitting.
There may also be other suspensions or reinstatement requirements preventing reinstatement of driving privileges; please request that your customer review their driver record and address any outstanding issues. Suspensions and reinstatement requirements are listed at the top of their driver record. Additional assistance is available by contacting the BMV at 888-692-6841.
Insurance agents can go to http://www.in.gov/ai/appfiles/bmv-license-search/ to obtain driver record information.
Please instruct your customers not to drive until they check their license status.
An Operator's policy has specific limitations that vary from agency to agency. It is your responsibility to validate that your customer was in full compliance with your policy coverage limitations prior to submitting a COC for a citation or accident.
If your customer has an operator's policy and you need to submit proof of insurance to the BMV using the EIFS program, you have two options. First, you need to select the vehicle make (from the drop-down box in the COC submission page) and also list the vehicle year that is indicated in your customer's citation and/or accident report, but it must match exactly. Secondly, you may select (from the drop-down box in the COC submission page), "Non-Owner", and enter the vehicle year of the vehicle they were operating. This second procedure will prompt a manual review of your customer's driving record and will take longer to process, but it will not result in a compulsory rejection of your customer's information. If you have attempted both of these procedures and are still getting your customer's insurance forms rejected, you must contact the BMV at email@example.com assistance.
Each case is different depending on the policy and coverage on the vehicle or insurance coverage the driver may have, such as an operator's policy.
The BMV is required to verify that drivers involved in accidents or those that receive traffic citations in the state of Indiana are insured for operating the vehicle involved. If the involved driver is operating another person's vehicle, without an operator's policy, that driver should contact the vehicle owner's insurance company and request that they submit proof of insurance. Providing that the vehicle's driver is not excluded from the vehicle owner's policy, the BMV will typically accept proof of insurance from the vehicle owner's insurance provider.
The State of Indiana requires all drivers that are involved in an accident and those that have received a request to provide proof of insurance to the BMV, to present proof of insurance to the BMV. This is a mandatory law. A recent change in this law mandates that proof of insurance be provided to the BMV even if a court dismisses/expunges a citation that triggered the request for proof of insurance. Your customer must provide proof of insurance, in the form of a COC. Non-compliance will result in a 90-day suspension, or one year suspension for a repeat violation within a three year period, and your customer will remain suspended until such time as the BMV receives appropriate proof of insurance and pays any reinstatement fees.
A Court No-Insurance ticket is a court conviction and suspension. The agent may provide the customer with proof of insurance to be taken into court, but the BMV is unable to remove the suspension without a court order.
A BMV No-Insurance ticket requires proof of insurance to be submitted by the insurance agent online using the EIFS program.
The courts and the BMV are different agencies regulated by different laws that require different action for your customer.
Yes. You are required to sign and fill in all required fields that request information, including the date of birth, driver's license number, and vehicle information.
Although this may satisfy the police officer's investigation regarding proof of insurance as a matter of an official police inquiry, this does not relieve a citizen from providing proof of insurance to the court or BMV. The BMV is required, by law, to request proof of insurance from drivers. All drivers that are required to submit proof of insurance to the BMV must do so through their insurance provider. Non-compliance will result in a 90-day suspension, or one year suspension for a repeat violation within a three year period.
To avoid any conflict of interest, please have another agent provide proof of insurance on your behalf.
No, the agent does not have to file proof of insurance on a parked vehicle.
You cannot change your customer's mailing address. The customer can update his or her mailing address at any time at myBMV.com.
To change the address on the customer's driver's license, the customer will need to visit a BMV branch with two acceptable proofs of residency. Examples of adequate proof of residency can be found on myBMV.com.

MIAMI - A 22-year-old man admitted to selling drug-filled brownies that got 10 students sick, according to an arrest report.
Police arrested Dionisio Lockridge Thursday. He was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine, and possession of a controlled substance (Xanax).
Lockridge admitted to selling the brownies for $12 apiece to a teenager who attends Braddock High School, according to the arrest affidavit. Lockridge told police the brownies were cooked with K2 Spice, a psychoactive drug made of herbs and synthetic chemicals that mimics the effects of marijuana.
K2 is sometimes sold in small pouches. It can elevate blood pressure and cause twitching and sweating.
Neighbors said they had no idea that Lockridge allegedly made the brownies inside his apartment.
The teenager who bought the brownies gave them to his girlfriend, one of the ten students at Miami Coral Park Senior High School who was transported to Kendall Regional Medical Center and Miami Children's Hospital as a precaution after eating the brownies, said police. A tenth student was treated but not transported.
Local 10 has learned that Lockridge is a graduate of the school the students attended.PHOTOS: What police found in Lockridge's apartment
During a probable cause hearing, prosecutors said Lockridge showed police where the brownies were cooked and where he had other drugs and cash.
"This brings bake sale to a new level," said Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Ellen Sue Venzer.
The students reportedly ate the brownies off campus before classes started.
"There was a girl just on the floor and she was awake but on the floor," said Stephanie Acosta.
"People just on the floor, fainting, and then a lot of people thought there was more and then everyone found out there were a lot of classes happening," said Walter Viera.
A school official said brownies found inside Lockridge's apartment were recovered and submitted to the Miami-Dade crime lab for testing. District spokesman John Schuster further charges are pending the lab results.
The ten students will be suspended, according to school officials.

Bill would force N.J. highways to show the price of E-ZPass tolls
New Jersey drivers with E-ZPass, may soon have a way to find out how much they're paying in tolls before they get their monthly statement.
Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen County) says E-ZPass has made it easier to travel, but has also disconnected drivers from how much each trip on the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway or Atlantic City Expressway costs.
The New Jersey Senate has approved a bill she sponsored that would require the amount to be displayed on the tollbooth's electronic screen.
"As you go through where it says toll paid it's figured out that you have money in your account or it wouldn't say toll paid," said Weinberg. "So if it figures out you have money in your account it can figure out how much you've just spent."
Sen. Joe Pennacchio (R-Morris County) says drivers might change their habits on short trips if they knew how much it was costing them.
"Now wouldn't it be nice if we saw a toll and it says a $1.50 and say 'oh my gosh maybe I didn't have to make that trip to the supermarket. I could have made one trip tomorrow instead of making two trips and that way I could have saved a dollar and a half,'" said Pennacchio. "So I think we have to inform the consumer and this makes a step towards doing that."
If the measure becomes law, transportation authorities would not have to implement it until they upgrade their electronic collection systems.
It would not apply to high-speed toll lanes, bridges or tunnels.

increasing production cost
How's that?
I guess people are more expensive, but there must be some hidden (or at least non obvious) cost that accounts for this. It's certainly not the technical side of production, which seems like it's more accessible now than ever before.
Lots of cheap media graduates too. It's a mystery to me.
So, if we take a leaf out of Charlie Stross's novel Rule 34, where the big supermarkets were nationalised; a future government may be tempted to nationalise Sky in order to get a public broadcaster!
I thought we had been 'nationalised'! That is the prob. This is a lazy fair govt. Corporate rulz nZZZZZZ!

Dozens of gamers showed up at a Montreal night club Monday evening for the launch of EA Sports NHL 14 and a chance to meet P.K. Subban and George Parros.
Subban and Parros sampled the new video game, the latest installment in the popular franchise, battling head to head in a Habs vs. Habs contest. Subban had the upper hand, beating Parros 2-1.
"I'd like not to talk about that," Parros cracked.
The 6-foot-5 forward acquired by the Canadiens this summer from the Florida Panthers said he's enjoying Montreal and has received a really warm welcome. Not surprisingly, he isn't flying under the radar in hockey-mad Montreal.
"Lots of pictures in grocery stores and stuff," Parros said.
Subban, who trains in the off-season with Clance Laylor in Toronto, said he's going into the Canadiens' training camp the same weight as last year, although probably leaner.
"I'm always in between 218, 220 (pounds)," he said.
Subban's training regime included several twice-a-day workouts and a 21-day no-carb diet.
"I usually train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday twice, and then once Thursday, once Friday and I skate Sunday nights and that's it. So it's usually about 10 times a week," Subban said.
"I've worked hard this summer. I feel good. That's the most important thing. As long as I feel good and I feel comfortable and confident, then everything else should take care of itself," he said.
The Canadiens' training camp kicks off with physical tests and medicals on Wednesday. The first on-ice sessions will be Thursday with a Group A practice from 10-10:45 a.m., followed at 11 a.m. with a game between Group A and Group B. Group B will then practise from 12:15 until 12:50 p.m. The same schedule is set for Friday, but with Group B practising at 10 a.m. and Group A at 12:15.
On Saturday, the Canadiens will play an informal Red vs. White scrimmage at the Bell Centre, starting at 1 p.m. Tickets cost $5 (taxes included) and are available at canadiens.com and evenko.ca, or through the Bell Centre's ticket office. Each ticketholder will receive a free hot dog, a bag of chips and a soft drink. Proceeds from the game will be donated to the Fonds Avenir Lac-Mégantic.
The Canadiens will play their first exhibition games at the Bell Centre Sunday night against Buffalo and Monday against Boston. You can see the preseason schedule by clicking here.

With yet another sweep of the broom, they've gone a long way toward cleaning up their mess at home, making things at least presentable at Petco Park.
Now the Padres, ever so close to .500 overall as they head off to interleague play and the mighty American League East Division, must go make some hay on that 6-10 road record.
Sparked by a player who's suddenly become a bit of a demon at Petco, outfielder Will Venable, the Padres completed their third sweeping win of a series in three weeks with a 1-0 defeat of the floundering Miami Marlins on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Needing only four hits, the Padres' posted their 11th win in their last 14 games, pushing them to within two games of an even mark after their 5-15 tumble out of the gate in April.
"Today," said Venable, "was probably the best example in a while of the way we're accustomed to winning games."
Starting with the starting pitcher. With his airborne catches in right, Venable also had two of several tremendous defensive plays in support of right-handed veteran Jason Marquis, who made a few nifty stops himself and retired a dozen straight Marlins for the Padres' first 1-0 win since July 12 of last year.
Marquis expanded on the starting rotation's improved performance -- and much-needed length -- with eight innings of five-hit ball to boost his record to 4-2. It was the fourth straight win by a Padres starting pitcher and second shutout in four games, and in the other two, the Marlins and Arizona Diamondbacks scored one run apiece.
In the finale, the young Marlins had fits with Marquis' sinker. Each of the four infielders, plus Marquis, handled at least two groundouts.
"I've been working real hard to get my mechanics right," said Marquis, who knocked three-quarters of a point off his earned-run average, now 3.48. "The last couple weeks of spring and probably the first four starts (of the regular season), it was more of a battle out there to make pitches and get guys out. It's easier now that I've sort of figured a few things out. I've got the life back on my ball, got the north-south movement back."
Engaged in a duel with Marlins right-hander Ricky Nolasco, Marquis was spotted the only run he'd need in the sixth inning. After his second single of the game, the surging Venable advanced on a follow-up single by Chase Headley and Carlos Quentin's bases-loaded walk with one out, whereupon Yonder Alonso lifted an opposite-field sacrifice fly to left.
Having not allowed a baserunner from the end of the third until the seventh, Marquis gave up consecutive singles to Justin Ruggiano and Greg Dobbs. He got a visit to the mound by manager Bud Black, who usually climbs the hill with a hook in hand, but Marquis was left in the game and got Derek Dietrich to flail at strike three at a changeup in his major league debut.
"I let them dictate the conversation," said Black, referring to Marquis and catcher Nick Hundley, "and what I heard I liked."
In the early going, Marquis' best defense was his own. Constantly peppered with comebackers off his sinker, Marquis fielded one from Adeiny Hechavarria with the bases loaded in the third, going home to start a rally-killing 1-2-3 double play.
Closer Huston Street also grabbed a dart in recording a clean ninth for his eighth save in as many chances.
Once 1-7 at Petco Park, the Padres' home record is now 10-8. Following a day off, the Padres play at Tampa Bay for three games, then at Baltimore for two more next week.
"I think the biggest thing's been not to panic, just to play our game," said Alonso. "We all know in here that we can definitely play the game. Like I've been saying all along, once it starts, it can be just a huge snowball continuing downhill."

The Aurora Effect
The oldest cigar company in the Dominican Republic does things its own way
When a visitor walks into a factory, he might be met with suspicious looks from the workers. It doesn't matter if the visitor makes himself as unobtrusive as possible, or if he's accompanied by the factory's top managers: his standout clothing and demeanor alone can disrupt the workflow. Even workers who pretend not to
notice can still be visibly distracted.
notice can still be visibly distracted.
But this isn't the case at La Aurora S.A., the Dominican Republic's oldest cigar company. Rather, there's focus and concentration. Not the type of tense concentration that comes from oppressive managers or the prodding fear of unemployment, but the calm that comes from an entire room of people who are physically and mentally dedicated to their work. If 109 years in the business has taught La Aurora anything, it's that a happy workforce makes for great cigars. "Look around my factory," says Guillermo León, the company's president. "Do you see misery? No. They are happy because we take care of them. And they stay here a long time. For us, our number one asset is the people."
León is a quiet and commanding presence as he walks through his factory, trading glances with passing employees. The 51-year-old is handsome by any conventional standard, and congenial, though at the same time preoccupied with the details of his operation and not unnecessarily talkative.
"Don't write about this," he says as he passes by a large contraption. Yes, León is friendly, but guarded as well. Whatever that machine is, it looks quite modern compared to the rest of the old, yet well-maintained heavy equipment in the factory. Everything here runs with oiled efficiency.
Somewhere in its long history, La Aurora seems to have taken an atypical move for the cigar industry and adopted Japan's "5S" workplace principles. Banners hang from the high warehouse ceilings of the 150,000-square-foot-factory: Seiri—sorting; Seiton—stabilizing; Seiso—systematic cleanliness; Seiketsu—standardization; Shitsuke—sustaining.
Perhaps this is what it takes to last as long as Aurora has, but the company that now produces 8 to 10 million premium, handmade cigars per year (it makes even more flavored cigars by machine) started out in 1903 with only three rollers working out of a small space in the under-developed zone of Guazumal, a small town located between Santiago
and Tamboril.
and Tamboril.
"My grandfather, Eduardo León Jimenes, made cigars for local consumption," says León. "But he had to move to Santiago in 1912. The situation was difficult at the time. There weren't a lot of roads. His cigar was simply called La Aurora."
The cigars back then were made mostly of Dominican tobacco with Indonesian or Cameroon wrappers. Wrapper leaf was not grown in the Dominican Republic at the time, so it had to be imported, but binder and filler tobacco was readily available. While some of it came from a few family-owned plots, much of it was procured from other local growers.
By 1945, the business had expanded, and La Aurora began exporting its cigars to other Caribbean islands, requiring León's grandfather to establish closer business relationships with local farmers, purchasing the tobacco in addition to growing some himself. It wasn't until the 1950s that Guillermo's father, Fernando León Asensio, took over the operation.
"My father really knew tobacco," says León. "He had a keen sense for it and could identify its origins very easily. I remember one time we were buying some tobacco from another farmer and my father looked at the tobacco, which was packed in a 100-pound tercio. One guy came with a hand-truck and put the bale of tobacco right in front of him. My father inspected the leaves, took a few out, smelled them and said to the farmer 'This isn't yours. This isn't your tobacco. This comes from someone else.' And he was right. The farmer admitted it."
León takes a puff of his cigar and laughs, recalling his father's sense for the leaf. "Another time he was given tobacco and said, 'This tobacco was near an orange tree.' "
It took six decades, but by the early 1960s, La Aurora had finally made its way to the United States, primarily through Miami. The company produced around 15 conventional cigar sizes that became very popular over time in both the stalwart cigar market of Miami and the rest of the United States.
León's father Fernando handled La Aurora and the premium cigar business with respect and reverence, but in terms of revenue, it was only a small part of the family business. Around the same time that La Aurora's cigars hit the shores of the U.S., Aurora began producing cigarettes in a separate factory, churning out local brands such as Premier, Oro Negro, Aurora Cigarettes and Apollo. The Dominican Republic's local cigarette industry was previously controlled by dictator Rafael Trujillo. After Trujillo's assassination in 1961, La Aurora had free reign to start its own mass-production outfit. This lead to a partnership with tobacco giant Philip Morris and a contract to produce Marlboro cigarettes solely for the Dominican Republic.
The portfolio grew. In addition to cigarettes, the family business entered the beer industry, first constructing a brewery in 1983 called Bohemia, and then acquiring Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana (CND), the brewery responsible for Presidente Beer. Presidente started as a local brew and went international in the early 1990s. Now, it's the biggest beer brand in the Dominican Republic. Cigars, cigarettes and beer all fell under the family's corporate umbrella, Empresa León Jimenes, a conglomerate that also has interests in spirits, printing and banking. The beer business eventually became the largest by far in the corporation, and earlier this year Anheuser-Busch purchased a controlling interest in CND from Empresa León Jimenes for a reported $1 billion.
No matter how large the other group's assets became, Fernando never grew distracted from the premium cigar business, and he always regarded it as the center of the Group's universe, regardless of its comparative revenue. This mentality brought La Aurora's annual production to between 3 million and 3.5 million cigars per year during the 1980s—a decade that included the Cameroon-wrapped La Aurora brand, León Jimenes in Connecticut wrapper, and the popular machine-made brand, Principe, which had been produced since the 1950s.
The '80s was also the decade when Guillermo joined the family business. A young man then, in his 20s, he handled logistics behind the beer, cigarette and cigar operations.
"My main objective was to keep shipping costs down," recalls León. "I enjoyed it very much, but one day my father said he wanted me to work at La Aurora. For me, it was an honor because I knew he cared greatly for the brands."
With a large part of his childhood spent in the factory, the younger León was very comfortable around tobacco. "I'd be in the factory every day because it was a second home. Some of my best memories are with my father, traveling to the fields and receiving tobacco."
León started work solely in La Aurora in 1994, right when the U.S. demand for premium cigars was booming. Focus for León now shifted from beer and tobacco logistics to premium cigars and the first thing he did was bring one of La Aurora's old factory managers out of retirement and back on the payroll. The manager had worked for the family for 65 years and León wanted him to return. He also brought the Preferidos size—a bulbous perfecto—to the United States. León considered the classic shape a company hallmark, and integral to the family's history. Like the original blend, the Preferido was reintroduced in a Cameroon cover leaf, then other wrapper varieties like Corojo, Connecticut and Brazilian Maduro followed.
And with the premium cigar market in such a state of hyperactivity, León walked right into a storm, facing formidable boom-time challenges as soon as he took over the factory's operations.
"People who no one had ever heard of were coming down to the Dominican Republic with a lot of money, buying the tobacco from farmers that we contracted for—farmers we were doing business with for decades. This didn't just happen with us. The whole industry faced this problem. Some of our growers, however, stayed loyal and honored our agreements."
León also explains another boom-time problem—the workers.
Cigar rollers would train at La Aurora and then be coaxed to another factory with the promise of more money. It's a practice that has always existed in the Dominican Republic to some extent, but was greatly
accentuated by the '90s need for skilled rollers.
accentuated by the '90s need for skilled rollers.
"We opened a training school for cigar rollers. Some of them would train with us, and then leave," he says.
Despite the unusually high demand, La Aurora never ran out of tobacco. "Our problem wasn't with available tobacco," León says. "We could always meet demand. The problem was with future inventory." Leon frowns a bit, shakes his head and sighs. His eyes widen for a moment as though reliving a nightmare. "Planning for the future—it was tough."
The situation eventually reversed itself. In 1998, the intense demand for cigars had settled and Aurora found itself sitting on a cigar surplus with 5 million finished sticks in inventory that the company was looking to move. Rollers were laid off, and León set to focus more on quality.
The factory continued to produce quality premium smokes and León, along with his father, brought the factory to its 100-year milestone anniversary in 2003. To celebrate, La Aurora created a limited run of 400,000 cigars called 100 Años (known as Cien Años, Spanish for 100 years), a Dominican puro made with Corojo wrapper and Corojo filler that the company had been growing in country since 1999. Cigars made solely with Dominican tobacco are still uncommon in the world of premium smokes on account of how difficult it is to grow the wrapper leaf, but the Aurora 100 Años is one of the few brands that still comes to mind when considering exceptional Dominican puros. Though it came in four sizes, the Belicoso was such an exceptional standout, it ended up as Cigar Aficionado's No. 2 Cigar of the Year for 2004.
"Cien Años was a very special project," recalls León. "We wanted to use the best of the best." There are very few 100 Años left, but the line's popularity has inspired Aurora to seriously consider reintroducing the line. Details were not available at the time this story went to press, but plans for a new 100 Años brand are in the works, most likely in a limited three-size run.
A lot has happened since the 100-year anniversary. In 2006 the partnership between Philip Morris and Empresa León ended; León's father and company patriarch Fernando León Asensio passed away in 2009; and last year, the family's corporate group made the decision to completely divest itself of La Aurora. Before the group could officially put the factory up for sale, León purchased it from his family for terms that were not disclosed. He is now the owner and operator of the oldest cigar company in the Dominican Republic.
"I didn't do it out of necessity," he says. "It wasn't about the money. The group wanted to focus more on the beverage end of the business, and I'm much happier."
León admits that even before he took over the factory, he had been changing his philosophy about the business for the last few years and has tuned in to the demands of the consumer now more than ever before.
Preferidos Cameroon and León Jimenes are, in a sense, period smokes—stylistically old-fashioned brands made as close to the company's original blend as current tobaccos will allow. In this case, old fashioned does not mean dated or irrelevant. They are still flavorful and enjoy a loyal following in the world of premium cigars, however León is willing to move forward.
"We still maintain tradition," assures León, "but I'm listening to what the customer has to say."
The relatively new Guillermo León brand is a perfect example. It came out in late 2010 and was blended to León's personal taste and standards. The Corona Gorda is his size of choice and was the first prototype for the blend. Like the rest of the line, it is made with two binders (a first for La Aurora) and has scored 92 points with Cigar Aficionado. Certainly, this is a very flavorful cigar, but the name also seems to be making a statement. Guillermo is now running the factory, so it's only befitting that he has a namesake cigar. But sizes like the Gran Toro, a 6-inch by 58-ring gauge cigar, were rolled more to meet customer demand and show an understanding of the market despite personal preferences. The brand is by no means a vanity project but a sincere symbol of La Aurora's future. A short, stout, 4 by 60 cigar called the Sumo is another response to market trends.
"It can be very personal sometimes," León says of the cigar-making process. "The size and the flavor of the Guillermo León Corona Gorda is very much a reflection of my personal taste and what I think a cigar should be."

BERKELEY -- Cal is banking on Year 2 of the Sonny Dykes era to be much better than the first, if for no other reason than it can't get much worse.
Dykes and the Bears opened spring practice Monday at Memorial Stadium hoping the rain that fell for more than half of the session could help wash away thoughts of the dreadful 1-11 season that included a winless record in the Pac-12 Conference.
When Cal's season gets underway in August, the Bears will be riding a 10-game overall losing streak and streaks of 14 straight Pac-12 losses and 16 straight losses to Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Injuries ripped apart the defense last year and the Bears hope health, and the guidance of new defensive coordinator Art Kaufman make a difference as they take their first steps toward rebuilding the program.
Here are the biggest topics looming for Cal this spring:
* Kaufman's new defense: How do you begin to fix a defense that allowed 529.6 yards and 45.9 points per game last season?
Kaufman wants to start with a fresh slate. He's not interested is seeing what mistakes the players made last year, but wants to spend the 15 spring practices evaluating what he sees under his watch.
"My thing is to only judge them on what they do from here," Kaufman said. "What we try to do is leave them in positions, for the most part, that they've played and just out there and let guys play.
"Our big thing is No. 1 to find out what guys can do and what they can't do and make sure we don't ask them to do things they can't do."
* Setting the line: With a returning quarterback, depth at receiver, and some freshman talent at running back set to arrive this summer, the biggest offensive question comes on the line, particularly at right tackle.
Steven Moore, who started 11 games there last year, is now at left tackle. Sophomore Christian Okafor, junior Brian Farley and redshirt freshman Aaron Cochran figure to be in the mix, with Okafor and Farley getting the first repetitions there Monday.
* Wiping away the memories: As bad as last season was, how do the coaches and players try to forget about it and erase the scars of an epically bad season?
"We tell our players all the time, 'play the next play,' and we've got to do the same thing as a program," Dykes said. "What's over is over and so our focus now is on what we can control and that's what's ahead of us.
* Cornerback Adrian Lee is serving a suspension and not on the roster. Dykes said they will "see if he comes back or not." Isaac Lapite, another cornerback, isn't with the team right now because of personal reasons, Dykes said..
Running back Darren Ervin has medically retired because of a series of injuries and Jacob Wark has left the football team to focus on baseball, Dykes said.

Gulf Council Seeks Input on Reef Fish, Shrimp Proposals
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council News Release
TAMPA, Fla. — The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will host a public meeting in Texas later this month, seeking input from commercial fishermen, sport anglers and others on proposed regulations designed to better protect reef fish such as red snapper and better manage shrimp stocks and control shrimp bycatch.
A recent stock assessment showed that red snapper continues to be overfished and is undergoing overfishing. A large portion of the fishing mortality comes from the shrimp trawl bycatch of juvenile age 0 and age 1 fish.
Shrimp trawl bycatch, combined with bycatch of red snapper from the directed commercial and recreational fisheries, could jeopardize the success of the recovery plan for these species.
The proposed amendments may change current management practices to help achieve an appropriate level and rate of rebuilding of the red snapper fishery. Other actions could further reduce bycatch and increase profitability in the shrimp fishery.
The Council has made available for review and comment draft scoping documents for Joint Reef Fish Amendment 27/Shrimp 14 and Amendment 15 to the Shrimp Fishery Management Plan (FMP).
The first document, Joint Reef Fish Amendment 27/Shrimp 14, proposes actions that deal with adjustments to the total allowable catch (TAC) for red snapper, size limits, bag limits, recreational season dates, and the certification of new shrimp bycatch reduction devices (BRDs). The amendment will also look at directed fishery gear restrictions and depth restrictions on the commercial fishery, as well as effort reduction in the shrimp fishery.
The second document, Amendment 15 to the Shrimp FMP, will consider such issues as shrimp trawl gear limits, limitations of shrimp vessel permit transferability, further reducing bycatch, shrimp fishery bycatch quota and quota monitoring, shrimp effort reduction, latent permits and enforcement actions.
Bycatch is the accidental catch of non-target species, such as catching sea turtles or fish in trawls designed to catch shrimp. Documents are now available and can be obtained online at www.gulfcouncil.org/downloads.htm, or by contacting the Council at 813-348-1630. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the process by attending meetings or providing written comments. Written comments should be no later than March 6, 2006.
Scoping meetings have been scheduled throughout the gulf coast to give the public an opportunity to provide input on the types of management changes the Council should consider.
A total of ten scoping meetings will be held, from Brownsville, Texas, to Key West, Florida, to receive comments on the draft documents, as well as other comments that may help address the goals of the amendments. Public input will be used by the Council to further develop the amendments.
All scoping meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and will conclude when public testimony is completed, but no later than 10:00 p.m. The Texas meeting dates and locations are:
- Monday, January 23, 2006 — Four Points by Sheraton, 3777 North Expressway, Brownsville, Texas 78520, 956-547-1500
- Tuesday, January 24, 2006 — University of Texas Marine Science Institute, 750 Channel View Drive, Port Aransas, Texas 78373, 361-749-6711
- Wednesday, January 25, 2006 — Holiday Inn on the Beach, 5002 Seawall Boulevard, Galveston, Texas 77551, 409-740-3581
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils established by the Magnuson—Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council prepares fishery management plans designed to manage fishery resources in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
